The trial hall of the criminal department is disciplined, and no irrelevant personnel are allowed to go to the court, and the hands are soft and smooth, and they are very well maintained at a glance, who is the noble son of the family?

Pu Ting looked at the place a few more times in disbelief, but through the screen, he couldn't see anything.

Qi Changrong's gaze swept casually over the blood book, and then returned it without interest.

Shi Xia took it and returned it to Ye Quan: "The master said that this seal is not fake." ”

Qi Changrong has been dealing with general affairs for nearly ten years, and the marks of various states have long been engraved in her heart, and she can see at a glance whether the marks are true or false.

The one on the blood book is not fake.

Pu Ting narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Dare to ask who is behind the screen?" If you dare to meddle in the affairs of the Criminal Department, aren't you afraid of being blamed from above! ”

Ye Quan settled down, and his voice became colder: "This person is an observer invited by this official, and he has the right to say a few words." ”

"Since Lord Ye personally invited to listen, it is just a bright and bright listening, why do you need to use a screen to cover it, could it be that Your Excellency is a rat who is not visible?"

Pu Ting sneered, the irony in his words became stronger and stronger, after listening to his words, Ye Quan looked at the screen silently, and he really couldn't see the expression of the person behind the screen.

This Pu Ting is really impatient, he has fallen into today's field, he just can't be a man without his tail between his legs, and he should talk nonsense before he knows the identity of the person on the other side, and he is not afraid of offending anyone in vain.

If the prince of the East Palace is narrow-minded and secretly wears small shoes for him......

Even if he is not guilty, he will end up with several sins.

Pu Ting's mouth is sharp, and Shixia is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so he snorted coldly and said: "It's not that any dross can enter the eyes of the master, you are a sin body, it is an ominous, ominous body, what is the benefit of looking at it?" ”

This is saying that Puting is not even as good as dross, which makes people feel bad luck at a glance.

After finishing speaking, Pu Ting's face turned blue with anger, and he didn't want to argue with a little woman.

Seeing this, Shi Xia hid behind the screen again, and planned to retire successfully.

If you talk about talking cannons, Donggong is never afraid of anyone.

Seeing this farce, it's like watching a play.

Qi Changrong leaned on the Taishi chair, with a smile on his lips, and shook the teacup in his hand leisurely, never being born.

From her position, she can just take in the ugliness of Pu Ting.

She was looking forward to the moment when Pu Ting collapsed, and that ugly face would definitely be exposed in the skylight.

Qin Zhong, who had been watching the battle, had been waiting impatiently, and nodded again and again when he heard this, and while leisurely stroking a handful of beard on his chin, he echoed:

"The little lady is right, the prison of the criminal department is the most gloomy place in the world, there are countless wicked people who have died here, and they have gathered into a resentment lingering in it, Pu Ting has been in the cell for a few days, he must be full of bad luck, it is better not to approach easily."

"Qin Zhong!" Pu Ting's voice was extremely low, and he roared the name of Qin Yushi.

"What do you want to say here?" Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows, looking back at Pu Ting's angry eyes from afar, and he didn't see anything.

After a while, there was silence in the hall.

Qi Changrong held the teacup, and the steaming heat came out of the cup, with a rich and mellow tea flavor into the tip of the nose and brain, and then tasted it, leaving a fragrance on his lips and teeth.

The people of Yushitai are never afraid of things.

When harming people, one by one, the scale is accurate.

It can not only swell Pu Tingqi's mind, but also make him speechless.

Ye Quan was afraid that Pu Ting would be angry to death, so he deliberately used the shocking wood: "This is a trial hall, and it can't be made." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

Only Tian Shengyang, who was in charge of the record, worked hard to write and did not dare to leave the slightest negligence.

As soon as the words fell, Ye Quan looked at Bai Yi solemnly: "Tell me about your grievances carefully, don't talk about it in vain." ”

Bai Yi maintained a kneeling posture, knowing that there was hope for redress, and the hard work of many days was swept away, telling the pain in his heart that was unknown to outsiders.

"Bai Yi, a grass mandala, lives in Tanzhou Mandala Bai Village, there are three brothers in the family, all of whom went out with the army, killed countless enemies, and made great contributions, and the last three brothers were killed in the war, and one was seriously injured and had to leave the army.

After returning home, the third brother was bedridden because his injuries were too serious and the wounds festered, but his family was poor and could not afford the cost of treatment for the three of them, so he thought of supplies in the army, and endured severe pain and filial piety to go to the Yamen to receive silver.

When I arrived at the local yamen, the officials of the yamen told the grass people that the imperial court had not allocated the money, and asked me to go back another day, so it dragged on day by day, day after day, and finally the third brother's injuries worsened and he died on the sickbed! ”

In the end, Bai Yi's only sadness came from it, thinking of his deceased relatives, and the third brother who should not have died, the eight-foot man couldn't help crying.

From the moment Bai Yi opened his mouth, Ye Quan had been listening carefully, and after he finished speaking, he immediately opened his mouth to deny: "This is impossible!" The imperial court was very good at comforting the soldiers in the army, and in the event of an accident, the consolation money would arrive at the local yamen treasury with the soldiers without delay. ”

According to the law of the Great Jin Dynasty, the wounded soldiers in the military camp can receive 30 taels of consolation money when they leave, and if they die on the battlefield, the imperial court will send 70 taels to his family to ensure that his family has no worries for the rest of his life.

Over the years, this law has not been abolished, and there has never been any news of a party not receiving a consolation payment.

Yes, when he heard these words, Ye Quan subconsciously vetoed it.

He really couldn't imagine that the people of the Great Jin Dynasty were desperate because of going to the battlefield......

Bai Yi raised his head and smiled miserably: "My lord is right, the imperial court did issue this consolation money, but the local yamen did not receive this consolation money.

After the death of the third brother, I made a big fuss in the yamen because I was not angry in my heart, and the county commander saw that I was pitiful, and felt pity, and privately took a few taels of silver for me to bury the third brother.

Later, under my questioning, I learned from the county magistrate that not only my family did not receive the consolation money, but most of the soldiers and orphans in the entire Tanzhou and even the neighboring states had not received this so-called compensation! ”

Speaking of this, Bai Yi choked up.

The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years.

After several years of waiting, what returned was the coffin of a strong man, unspeakable justice, and the neglect and corruption of the corrupt officials of the imperial court.

The atmosphere in the trial hall was tense in vain, and everyone looked at it with solemn faces.

Pu Ting realized that something was wrong, and immediately scolded him, intending to interrupt Bai Yi's train of thought or threaten him with his eyes.

"Tie him up, and gag his mouth to the official!"

In an instant, Pu Ting was rudely tied up, with strips of rotten cloth stuffed in his mouth, and lost the ability to plead.

Ye Quan was furious, he was in the court, but he was in awe of all the soldiers who guarded the border defense of the Great Jin.

Shocked to hear the truth, he gasped and suppressed the trembling caused by extreme anger: "Go on." ”

He wants to hear, and he wants to hear clearly.

He wants to see and see clearly the ghosts and ghosts hidden in the world.

He wants to clean it up and make it look new!

"Knowing that I am not convinced and resentful, the small town and county order is kind, and advises me not to pursue justice in order to protect myself, I don't listen to dissuasion, I go around and visit everyone just to get evidence, and the hard work pays off, I finally know that everything is controlled by the household department Shangshu Puting on it!

Because of his awe-inspiring methods, the people dare not shout grievances, even if a few people are not angry, but the county government complaint is either ignored, or the county officials avoid it, and the most terrible thing is that one of the people who signed the blood book died because he wanted to find out about the matter!

He not only embezzled, but also killed people! ”

"Bastard!" Qin Zhong trembled with anger, he guessed that things would not be simple, and he didn't expect that the transfer to him would be even more complicated.

What kind of court official is Pu Ting? Is there a court official who corrupts the people and exchanges their lives for money?!

"Qin Yushi is calm." Ye Quan raised his hand, and then pressed down slightly to appease Qin Zhong, who was angry in his heart: "This person still has something to say, and it's not too late for him to clear all his anger." ”

Ye Quan had been waiting, waiting for the man behind the screen to react.

However, the silence behind the screen sent chills through his heart.

The more calm Donggong became, the more complicated this matter became.

Ye Quan asked again: "Where did you start talking about taxes?" ”

"Excuse me, my lord, what is the land tax of my Jin Kingdom?"

"Three-tenths of the harvest."

Bai Yi closed his eyes and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity: "Ketanzhou is forty percent of the land tax." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Qin Zhong was dumbfounded, first looked at Ye Quan, and then looked at Bai Yi, and said in a daze: "The land tax reported by Tanzhou to the imperial court is thirty percent!" ”

The Great Jin Dynasty has always treated its subjects favorably, never raised taxes, and the number of taxes is the same in various places, so it stands to reason that there will be no special case for one continent.

If a continent increases its tax revenue by one percent, it will be millions of silver taels!

With such a huge amount of money, who dares to carry it, and who can hold it? Aren't you afraid of dying?

Or is it that you don't want money or your life?

Tian Shengyang's hand holding the pen was trembling, thinking that everything he heard today was beyond his imagination.

The hall was silent, as if even the sound of a needle hitting the ground could be heard clearly.

Things are getting more and more complicated, if what Bai Yi said is true, then countless officials in the entire Great Jin Dynasty may be arrested.

Move a hundred bodies.

The consequences are no longer something that Ye Quan can bear alone.

His eyebrows were tightly locked, and his clear eyebrows were stained with haze.

Under the gaze of everyone, he pondered for a long time, suddenly got up, bowed to the screen, and said in a deep voice: "This matter is very involved, the minister alone cannot act in charge, and I hope His Highness will come forward to help." ”

Behind the screen turned out to be Qi Changrong!

Pu Ting's eyes widened, and he subconsciously looked to the side.

No one was surprised.

Of the few people present, he was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Behind the screen, Qi Changrong frowned slightly, and his white fingertips tapped on the armrest of the chair: "The matter of Tanzhou, the local assassin should know about it, secretly draft a document, summon him to return to Beijing, and on the way, order the neighboring states to secretly guard, and then find the county order in Bai Yi's mouth, bring him back, and then let him write a testimony for later evidence." ”

"As for taxes...... The imperial court tax has always been the responsibility of the household department, what is the matter, others may not understand, but Pu Shangshu should know it in his heart. The person is already in front of him, and how to get him to speak is the business of your criminal department. ”

That is to say, from now on, as long as favorable testimony can be collected, for Pu Ting, the Criminal Department can torture and interrogate.
