Chu Shancheng pinched the tendons on his calf, and every time he pinched it, there would be a stronger sourness surging over.

In the past two years in the northwest, I have been sleeping in the desert or by the river, and the long-term cold wind has reduced my physical fitness a lot.

Chu Shancheng didn't expect that before going to the northwest, he didn't have such a strong reaction after kneeling for such a long time, but now it is a problem to even move, not only is it sore, but his calves and stomach will cramp from time to time.

Chu Shancheng sat on the cold ground for a long time in a bit of embarrassment before he was able to stagger upright and stand up.

I went back to the room and wiped my whole body with a towel, and just sat on the floor, because I got up with all my strength and sweated a lot.

After washing, Chu Shancheng didn't have time to shave his beard, he casually took a coat from his room, put it on his body, and while tying the button around his waist, he walked out of the mansion, led his horse, and didn't have time to eat a little breakfast, and went directly to Dali Temple.

Dali Temple, in charge of the country's criminal prisons and royal affairs of the referee, every year in the provinces and all over the controversial cases will finally be handed over to Dali Temple for review and final conclusion.

But in fact, there are very few cases that really need to be adjudicated by Dali Temple, so it is a relatively idle yamen.

Dali Temple is far away from the Gu family's mansion, in the direction of Xihua Gate in the capital.

Next door is the county government of the capital, surrounded by private houses and noisy markets. Because many cases of Dali Temple need to be co-organized with the Beijing County Yamen, the proximity of the two yamen is also conducive to the resolution of the case.

Dali Temple has one Dali Temple Qing and two Dali Temple Shaoqing, as well as several officials. Dali Temple Qing Yan Yingzhong, over 50 years old, is the current cabinet of the first assistant Chu Shimao when he was a young student and friend.

One of the Shaoqing of Dali Temple has been vacant a few years ago because of the imperial examination fraud case. Another Shaoqing of Dali Temple is also Ouyang Yujie, the son of Ouyang Hui, a university scholar in the cabinet, but he is not young, and he is almost fifty years old.

Ouyang Yujie is not very smart since he was a child, and his homework is not ideal when he is studying, if it were not for the light of his father Ouyang Hui, he would not have been able to achieve the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

But being able to achieve the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple is basically done, and Ouyang Yujie has already rushed to his current position like his father.

Chu Shancheng rode his horse all the way, because he wasted a lot of time sitting in the morning, and in order not to be late on the first day, he could only grab some time on the journey.

Dali Temple occupies a very large area, on the one hand, because the royal palace is directly under the yamen, to show the royal prestige, and on the other hand, because Dali Temple not only includes a hall for hearing cases, but also includes a library and a prison.

In the library of Dali Temple, there are case records and archives of the Liang Dynasty for decades, which are convenient to read at any time.

The prison in Dali Temple is mainly for some vicious criminals and some high-ranking officials or royal children, which is naturally extraordinary.

When Chu Shimao was dismissed from office before, he was imprisoned here.

At the entrance of Dali Temple, there are two very intimidating Pixiu squatting on both sides, with hideous faces.

Before entering the Dali Temple, there are more than a dozen steps, the foundation of the Dali Temple is built on the steps, and the door is extremely wide from east to west, and the entrance has not yet been entered, you can feel the royal majesty coming to your face.

In addition, from the gate to the courtyard of the court judge, two columns of countless servants stood on either side, standing straight and motionless, and if it weren't for the blinking of their eyes, others would have thought that the dummy had been placed here.

Chu Shancheng got off the horse, and immediately a small servant came out of the shadows, took the reins from his hand, and went to settle in other places.

Chu Shancheng was a little hesitant in his heart, because as long as he entered the gate of this Dali Temple, he was announcing to the entire capital that he Chu Shancheng was back.

He is no longer as unscrupulous as before, because he has lost a lot in the process of doing squirting, and his personality is naturally much calmer than before.

Chu Shancheng pretended to be casual and tidied up his cuffs, exhaled deeply, paused in his footsteps, and slowly walked into Dali Temple as if nothing had happened.

The first courtyard of Dali Temple is the place of the hall trial, the place where the table case is deliberately set up a layer higher, it appears more majestic, the plaque opposite the hall trial is written with four big characters of "Ming Punishment and Bijiao", and the cursive script is full of heroism.

Chu Shancheng's footsteps did not stop, and continued to walk inside, the second courtyard of Dali Temple is the official of Dali Temple to deal with ordinary political affairs. From left to right, the first room of Dali Temple, and then to the right is a room shared by the two Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the third room is the place where the officials usually use, which is relatively simple, and there is only one table for one person, which is very crowded and noisy.

Chu Shancheng went straight to the room where Qing Yan Yingzhong was in the first Dali Temple and knocked on the door, and the calm middle-aged man's voice was extremely penetrating: "Enter." ”

Chu Shancheng licked his lips and pushed the door open with his hand.

Yan Yingzhong was sitting behind his desk and picking up a pen to sort out something, looking at the person who came in with a full beard, hair and collar were a little messy, and the corners of his eyes were a little drooping, he was almost startled, thinking why the beggar ran in.

Yan Yingzhong was stunned for a moment and didn't speak.

It was Chu Shancheng who arched his hand and opened his mouth first: "Lord Yan, I am Chu Shancheng who was ordered to report today." ”

Chu Shancheng looked at Yan Yingzhong visibly and breathed a long sigh of relief, and instantly straightened his face.

Chu Shancheng had been mentally prepared before he came, Yan Yingzhong would not treat him well, if nothing else, because the friendship between Yan Yingzhong and Chu Shimao like a hardcore brother is well known to the world, and the estrangement between Chu Shancheng and Chu Shimao's father and son is also known to everyone, no one knows.

Chu Shancheng had already prepared for a long time, and he was going to suffer a lot.

Yan Yingzhong really said with indifference, and the corners of his mouth sneered: "The first day was a moment late, and Chu Gongzi still seems to be as gentlemanly as before." ”

Chu Shancheng didn't refute, his face was as usual, and he didn't even raise his eyelids.

Yan Yingzhong saw that he was like an impregnable wall, and he didn't respond to his cold words, and lost interest, so he casually sent him to continue to look down at the music in his hand: "If you have a demerit once, you will be punished three times, you should remember it yourself." Also, go find something to do yourself, and don't stick here like a pillar. ”

Chu Shancheng bowed his head and said "yes", and then withdrew from Yan Yingzhong's room.

He originally thought that Yan Yingzhong would grasp his mistakes and educate him well, but his tone was full of impatience, which could only show that Yan Yingzhong was afraid that there was something difficult to deal with in his hands.

Quietly paying attention to this matter in his heart, he raised his feet and walked towards the house of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Dali Temple Shaoqing's house is next to Siqing's house, and he can reach it with his feet, although he will also work here in the future, but he still politely knocked on the door before opening.
