An oil-paper bag fell next to the two notebooks, and the girl moved away from the chair and sat down, putting her hand on the table, except for the two notebooks in front of her and an oil-paper bag, the table was empty, and there was nothing.

Such an empty table case without even a file is naturally a good thing for an official of Dali Temple, which at least means that until now, the cases she has taken over have been solved. There are no wicked people, no murderers, the sea is clear and the river is clear, and the world is peaceful. How wonderful! The girl sighed and opened the notebook.

At such a time, it is not easy to read the book here with spare time, you must know that the current Chang'an City has made a fuss about what happened yesterday in front of the yamen of the Criminal Department.

Qiao Ran glanced at Zhen Shiyuan's position not far away, the chair was empty, it was almost noon, Zhen Shiyuan had not come back from the morning court, and it was also a bloody storm to come to today's court.

Qiao Ran covered her lips and yawned, drowsy and waited for the lunch hall to open.

……

……

"In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, there are gangsters at the feet of the Son of Heaven who rob people less than a hundred steps away from the official road of the Criminal Department!" An old imperial historian with white hair stood outside the column, and said excitedly, with tears on his face, "The Chang'an Mansion Ya, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the Criminal Department Yamen have not noticed it!" Someone dares to rob a murderer today, and someone will dare to rob an official tomorrow, so what about the day after tomorrow? Is the Son of Heaven also in danger? Chang'an is uneasy, I'll wait...... I'll wait ......"

Standing on the left side of His Majesty, Zhang Xie watched the old imperial history's footsteps slowly move towards the pillar, and made an obvious gesture towards the forbidden army waiting in the side hall.

The teary-eyed old Yushi saw him gesturing, and his heart was settled, and he immediately hit the pillar with a fierce son, and then was successfully stopped by the forbidden army who was already on standby.

After several pulls, the old Yushi successfully "fainted" and was carried to the side hall to rest.

It's like singing! Zhen Shiyuan, who was standing at the end of the list of officials, looked at the old Yushi who was carried away and sighed: Every time he encounters such a thing, Yushitai will come to such a show. It's no wonder that some colleagues in private will say, 'What kind of Yushi platform is this, it's clearly a stage'.

At this point, the foreplay is finished, and it's time to get down to business.

"At the time of yesterday's accident, the patrol officer of the Chang'an Mansion was patrolling the ninth lane of the third street in the west of the city, which has always been the most chaotic place in the city." He Taiping, who should not have appeared in the team of the early dynasty, was "invited" to the court for the first time because of yesterday's incident, to which he replied unhurriedly, "There are four or five disputes almost every day, so the patrol officers of my Chang'an Mansion will move around the three streets and nine alleys, and there has not been a single incident of blocking the road and robbing people on the official road of the Yamen of the Criminal Department in the past ten years." ”

There has not been a single incident of stopping people in ten years, which shows that yesterday's events are unpredictable, so it is understandable that the patrol officer of the Chang'an Mansion was not at the scene.

Yesterday's incident in front of the official road of the Yamen of the Criminal Department had already spread all over the city by the evening, and of course, along with the "poor" Dali Siqing's "forced" lying on the ground and struggling to survive.

Those people vividly portrayed Zhen Shiyuan's situation at that time, and for a while, the entire Chang'an City was extremely sympathetic to this poor Dali Temple Qing Zhen.

It is not a good thing to be scolded by the people of the entire Chang'an City, and it is also not a good thing to be sympathized by the people of the entire Chang'an City, after He Taiping returned to the queue, he specially looked at him carefully when he passed by Zhen Shiyuan's side: his eyes were blue, and it seemed that he had not slept well all night. This is normal, and he probably won't be able to sleep well if he changes it.

After He Taiping finished speaking, it was the turn of the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to come out and explain.

"When there was an accident yesterday, the patrol officer of my Wucheng Terracotta Division was on a mission to settle a dispute near the Luoma Market, a hawker selling eggs and a hawker selling spices got into a fight, and during the scuffle, he knocked over the stall of the Hu merchant on the side, and the dim sum vendor who came to persuade the fight was thrown out of the egg and his eyes were pasted, and he was injured and sent to the hospital, but there were too many people who went in, and he accidentally bumped into the old man who was treating his legs and feet in the hospital, and the daughter-in-law of the old man's family was pregnant, and she was frightened and moved to the ......."

It is really funny and ridiculous to talk about such trivial matters in the court, and the person who is biased to speak is extremely serious, with a serious face, and reciting the little things involved word for word.

It's also a shame that he can remember clearly the things of the seven aunts and eight aunts, in the end, it was the commander of the old five cities and the Soldiers and Horses, and as soon as he made a move, it was extraordinary, and the success caused boos in the court.

Compared with the novice who was implicated in the case and imprisoned in the middle of the year, Lin Liyang, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division who returned to Beijing and was appointed again, is a veteran.

Although he was born as a bandit, he was really handy at dealing with such a small matter of street vendors, and it was estimated that there was no second person in the entire Chang'an City who was so good at dealing with such things.

Of course, the court is not the place for Lin Liyang to talk about the trivial matters in these parents, and the female official Xue in front of the emperor got the empress's eyes and stood up to interrupt him: "What Lord Lin said is reasonable, Your Majesty knows." ”

The implication is that Lin Liyang, don't say it again, this matter is not on your head.

Lin Liyang, who accepted it when he saw it, withdrew from the queue at this time, and when he returned to He Taiping's side at the end of the line, he didn't forget to greet He Taiping: "Lord He." ”

He Taiping couldn't help but smile and nodded at him, looking forward again.

This matter has the least to do with their Chang'an Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, so naturally they are the first to solve it, and the rest is the "unlucky and pitiful" Dali Siqing.

Zhen Shiyuan stood up and gave a salute and then got up and spoke: "Yesterday, Ji Nan from the Criminal Department brought people to my Dali Temple to ask for someone, I thought that the case had been completed, and his subordinates were active, so it was good to close the case early, so let them take the people away...... "Dali Temple is fast and good, this is naturally a good thing, especially because they played well in Dali Temple, and even the blacksmith took the initiative to let Zhao Minsheng confess and found conclusive evidence, so the case was closed early."

In this matter, Dali Temple not only did not do anything wrong, but also meritorious.

"It's always the prisoner who goes out of my Dali Temple, and I, Zhen Shiyuan, as the secretary of Dali Temple, naturally have to accompany me to the Criminal Department, and my Dali Temple also has a prisoner car." Zhen Shiyuan said, "When I walked all the way to less than 100 steps away from the yamen of the Criminal Department, I had an accident. ”

The rest of the things don't need to be said, the people of the capital can know better than he said, poor Dali Temple Qing lay on the ground to survive, people were injured, Dali Temple's prisoner car was destroyed and a big hole was broken.

After Zhen Shiyuan finished speaking, there were already court officials who had nothing to do with this matter and snickered in the queue.

Those sloppy laughter thought he couldn't hear it? Zhen Shiyuan squinted and glanced at the team, and Tong He Taiping and Lin Liyang returned to the team.

Since then, the parties who have nothing to do with the matter and who have been victimized have retreated, and now the only thing left is the criminal department that is most involved.

Zhou Liang, the official commander of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, was traveling with Ji Nan at that time, so when the accident occurred, it was Wu Qi, the deputy commander of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, who was responsible for the dispatch of the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Compared with Zhou Liang, who is an extraordinary martial artist and a brother of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, few people have noticed this official deputy commander Su Ri, and he really responded to his name "Pingping", and because of this idiom, his character was taken as Pingping, and even the surname was read together and called "Wu Pingping", a man with five big and three rough can actually call such a cute name - Wu Pingping, when Zhen Shiyuan heard this name, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Today's discussion is about this matter, this very cute name of the deputy commander of the official mission Wu Pingping was naturally present, he came out and replied: "At that time, there was an accident in the prison of the Criminal Department, and I led many people to be in the Yamen Prison of the Criminal Department at that time, so I did not hear the movement outside. ”

As soon as these words came out, several low boos immediately rang out in the court.

Who doesn't know what is being done in the prison of the Criminal Department? Under such horrific torture, who can not scream except for those who cannot speak?

At the beginning of the Great Chu Dynasty, the craftsmen who built the prison of the Criminal Department did not think of this stubble, which caused the screams around the Yamen of the Criminal Department to continue, like a hell on earth, not to mention the hawkers and people who opened shops around, the first to bear the brunt was the officials of the Yamen of the Criminal Department themselves.

After all, there are only a few people who are so talented that they sit in the "purgatory on earth" and do not move.

After the reconstruction, the Yamen Prison of the Criminal Department can completely isolate the inside of the prison from the outside of the prison, so that people cannot hear the slightest movement in the prison, so the silence around the Yamen of the Criminal Department is famous in the entire Chang'an City Yamen.

Of course, in such a prison, you naturally can't hear the movement outside.

This statement naturally explains why the official messenger of the Yamen of the Criminal Department did not appear to answer the incident. However, for these time-honored old foxes in the court, they naturally would not believe in such a coincidence.

"If you don't have an accident sooner or later, it's a coincidence that something happened when the gangsters robbed people!" An official sneered, "I'm afraid that Deputy Commander Sun's words are difficult to convince the public!" ”

The official who spoke was only a civilian in the Hanlin Academy, but many officials who "knew the inside story" knew that this "outsider" who seemed to have nothing to do with the yamen of the Criminal Department was a fellow villager with Zhou Dong, the current secretary of the Criminal Department.

Therefore, it can be said that this seemingly "outsider" is actually a real "insider".

Obviously, what this official meant was also what Zhou Dong meant, after the incident, the deputy commander who did not come out to answer for a long time, and coincidentally took the official to deal with the matter in the prison was very suspicious.

Such suspicion is not surprising, and any of the six yamen books will be so suspicious.

In this regard, Sun Qi only said: "It is indeed difficult for the officials to escape the blame for this matter, but it is no coincidence that dozens of prisoners in the prison of the Criminal Department had accidents at that time. "The implication is that I didn't find out in time that there was indeed a mistake, but the accident of dozens of prisoners is definitely a problem within the prison of the Criminal Department, and if you want to investigate, you can simply check the entire Yamen of the Criminal Department.

This is to turn over the entire yamen of the criminal department and change blood again! Zhen Shiyuan, who was standing at the end of the team, squinted his eyes: the taciturn criminal department Shangshu who was so silent was really not a good stubble, and he reacted very quickly. If it is not broken, it will not stand, since it has been put on the table, then simply take this opportunity to investigate thoroughly. Although it is a loss of face to be done in front of the yamen of the criminal department, if you take this opportunity to check the entire yamen of the criminal department openly, and then take the opportunity to remove some nails and replace them with your own people, this is definitely a good thing in the long run for Zhou Dong to be in charge of the criminal department.

Sure enough, they're all old foxes! Zhen Shiyuan shrank and began to wander into the world.

There is no surprise in what happened next, Zhou Dong is definitely His Majesty's confidant, and His Majesty will naturally not disagree with the reorganization of the Criminal Department.

When the matter of the reorganization of the criminal department was finished, it was already past noon, and Zhen Shiyuan, who was already hungry, returned to Dali Temple and the first thing he did when he returned to Dali Temple was to go to the canteen to fill his stomach.

At this moment, Zhen Shiyuan looked at those leisurely officials, and his heart was inexplicably sour: I don't know why, I always feel that his life at the peak is not as comfortable as these subordinates!

He was hungry with his chest against his back to eat, but these rabbits were comfortable.

One of the most comfortable is of course the only female official in Dali Temple, which is the most popular with the flower cat, no matter how much you tease, the flower cat will still return to her feet to please her and circle around her.

"Master Joe, let it shake my hand!" An official shouted at the girl.

The girl patted the cat's head and shouted "shake hands".

The flower cat turned around and "meowed", stretched out a front paw and touched it perfunctorily on the official's hand, and then hurriedly put his head under the girl's hand, and after getting the girl's "touch the head" reward, the flower cat "meowed" twice and seemed to be very happy.

"Master Joe, let it do it with both hands!" Another official was furnished and shouted.

The girl touched the cat's head and shouted "salute"

The cat stands on its hind legs, its body upright, touches its two front paws together, and then turns back to ask for the reward of "touching its head" again.

Zhen Shiyuan was dumbfounded, and at this moment he thought that he was not in the yamen of his Dali Temple, but in the mule and horse market watching juggling, and the flower cat who loved to ignore outsiders on weekdays was still happily cooperating.

"What are you doing here?" Zhen Shiyuan, who came back to his senses, walked over and looked at the flower cat shaking hands with someone with a somewhat complicated expression.

Seeing that Shangfeng was back, a group of officials restrained themselves a little and got up one after another to call "adults".

Zhen Shiyuan said "En", looked at the girl who picked up the cat, and said, "It's all okay to do?" ”

The girl nodded and said, "My lord, now the city is peaceful, except for a few old cases, the New Year is approaching, and there are no new cases." ”

It's a good thing that there is no case, but there is nothing to say. Zhen Shiyuan glanced at the officials and shouted: "Then try to solve some old cases, now the Criminal Department is going to be reorganized, and there is a shortage of manpower for a while, you are so idle to tease the cat here, and you were carefully transferred to the Criminal Department to do things by those Yu Shi who were idle and had nothing to do!" ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this: Although the level adjustment of the criminal department from Dali Temple will not change, who would like to be transferred from the canteen to the Dali Temple, where the food is excellent, and the colleagues are interesting, to work in the yamen of the criminal department?
