Chapter 171: Drumming and Grievances

Sun Jing nodded and arched his hand: "I'm afraid that at this time, the news of Bai Yi's complaint against Shangshu Puting of the Ministry of Household Affairs has spread all over Shangjing, and the impact is very deep. ”

In the past, the process of handling affairs in the Criminal Department was clear, and since someone complained about his grievances, they should arrest the suspect and trap him in the cell as soon as possible to avoid any accidents.

However, it is different now, the defendant is the minister of the central government, who holds heavy power and manages a department, not to mention whether they dare to arrest such a person, even if the criminal department dares to do it, but now is the time for the court to deliberate, who dares to break into the Jinluan Palace and take people in front of Emperor Jin An?

Not to mention Sun Jing, a small acceptance officer, even if he is changed to the secretary of the Criminal Department, he has to weigh a few points.

If the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is really here, they still have a backbone, so they will not be helpless, but the people who can make the decision are pondering the heavens in the Jinluan Palace, and they don't know the turmoil outside.

Not to mention giving clear instructions.

Tian Shengyang's shock in his heart was self-evident, fortunately, he had many years of experience, and after several considerations in his heart, he immediately said: "You stay here, I will go to the palace." ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly put on his black gauze hat.

Sun Jing asked on the side: "What's the use of entering the palace at this time?" ”

"This incident broke out, you and I can't afford to take responsibility, the matter has come to this point, it is better to directly stab the sky and let the one above decide." After that, Tian Shengyang walked to the door with a serious face, and didn't look back: "You are optimistic about that young man, you can't let anyone approach, don't ...... Something happened. ”

When the words fell, Tian Shengyang had already strode away, and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Sun Jing's expression became even heavier.

His eyes were dark, looking at the sky that was bright before, but now it was gloomy and gloomy, and his heart was suddenly cold.

The dark clouds are all over the sky, the wind and rain are coming, the punishment is coming, and no one can be left alone.

Who will be the sacrifice of this catastrophe in the huge Jinluan Palace?

In the noisy and lively streets, horses roared out from the criminal department, and the people on horseback at the front were dressed in dark red official uniforms, and their clothes flew from the crowd, startling countless people.

From a distance, the palace gate was close in front of him, but he still had no tendency to stop.

Seeing this, the Praetorian Guard in front of the palace gate stopped him with a spear and shouted: "No intrusion without a summoning order!" ”

"Urgent!"

Their warnings were echoed by equally urgent voices.

Hearing this, the wall built by the Praetorian Guards with spears collapsed, and the palace gate was wide open, leaving a narrow path, which was enough for Tian Shengyang to gallop in on horseback.

As for those who followed, they were all stopped outside the palace, and they did not dare to act rashly under the obstruction of the Praetorian Guard.

The wide palace road, the horses blew like the wind, and the palace people hurriedly retreated to both sides, and before they could see who the person who came, the person disappeared like the wind, and the sound of the horse's hooves remained in their ears.

At the beginning of the hour, in the Jinluan Palace.

After the discussion, there was a touch of tiredness between the eyebrows of Emperor Jin An, last night he stayed up all night to correct the chapter, and when he was crowned today, he found that he was not energetic, with a faint oxygen in his throat, and there were signs of occasional cold.

Yuan Yi noticed the tiredness of Emperor Jin An, and stood up at the right time, elongating his voice: "Ministers, there is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat fromβ€”β€”"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Emperor Jin An is wrong, naturally no one dares to stand up at this time to block the one who is high, so when Yuan Yi asked, no one stood out of the queue.

Seeing that the emperor was about to leave, several courtiers looked quite entangled, and the Han family frequently cast suspicious and inquiring glances at Yang Yishu, and the urgency in their eyes was clearly visible.

The head of the Han family was shocked in his heart, and after returning to the house last night, he informed him of Mrs. Yang's plan word for word, and asked him to fully cooperate in the court, so as to bring down the Hubu Shangshu Puting in one fell swoop.

Today he is ready, why is there no movement at all from Mrs. Yang, could it be that there is a mistake in the transmission of the court?

In the face of the rest of the people's scrutiny, Yang Yishu was like a rock and did not give a single reaction.

There are also others who are hesitant with the head of the Han family, including Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong frowned, the worry in his eyes became thicker, he silently looked in the direction of Yang Yishu, and the feet hidden under the robe suddenly stepped out, but after a while, he silently retracted it.

As the imperial historian, he wants to impeach the injustices of the world.

However, there is no evidence, and he can only lament secretly because there is no evidence, and he has the intention of giving up.

And for some reason, he always has an inexplicable instinct for good things, as long as he steps out, he will immediately be used as a gunman.

The so-called gun shot the first bird, if he goes out, the first person to face the anger of Emperor Jin An will be himself.

Seeing that the civil and military officials were silent, Yuan Yi cleared his throat, and then stretched his voice with a sharp voice: "Retire ......"

"Waitβ€”" Before Yuan Yi could finish speaking, the Praetorian Guards guarding outside the Jinluan Hall suddenly spoke.

When everyone heard the prestige, a man in armor strode forward, stood outside the hundred officials and knelt down with his fists folded: "Your Majesty, Tian Shengyang, the head of the Criminal Department outside the palace, asked to see him, saying that he had something important to do!" ”

Emperor Jin An crossed his eyebrows with a touch of deep thought, he raised his eyebrows, and looked at a certain place in the Jinluan Palace: "People from the Criminal Department? ”

Sensing that Jin Anhuang's eyes were looking at him, Ye Quan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, jumped his eyebrows, and hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't know what happened to Tian Shengyang, why didn't Your Majesty summon him to ask?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Yishu also nodded and agreed: "The people in the Criminal Department have always understood the rules, and I heard that Tian Shengyang is stable by nature, and if he can let him break into the Jinluan Palace, something big will definitely happen." ”

At this point, Emperor Jin An naturally didn't think about it, and with a wave of his hand, he asked people to invite Tian Shengyang, who was waiting outside the palace, in.

Seeing this, Yang Yishu lowered his head, and a shallow smile spread out of his mouth.

When people come, the show is about to begin.

Jiang Bowen, who had been secretly looking at Yang Yishu, saw him smile inexplicably, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

It's a pity that others are in the court, even if they are capable, they don't know what is going on in the outside world.

Soon, Tian Shengyang stepped forward and knelt down in the hall: "Weichen Tian Shengyang has seen Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jin An waved his hand and motioned for him to get up: "No courtesy, the Tian master has something to say." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long." Tian Shengyang stood up, lowered his eyes to look at the smooth place, and said loudly: "At the beginning of today, a man who called Bai Yi ascended the grievance platform and beat the drum to redress grievances. ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Emperor Jin An said with a slight surprise.

It has been decades since he ascended the throne, and no one has dared to go to the platform to redress grievances in these years.

Today, he suddenly heard that someone was beating a drum and shouting grievances, and he was a little fresh.

"There is one thing that Weichen does not dare to call the shots, so I have come to ask Your Majesty's meaning." Tian Shengyang said truthfully.

"The Criminal Department is responsible for adjudicating and investigating cases, and since someone complains about grievances, you can act in accordance with the rules and regulations, so what's the use of asking me?" Emperor Jin An was displeased, this Tian master is going back more and more, why do you need to ask his opinion for a trivial matter?

"Because the identity of the person complained by the plaintiff is extraordinary, with the position of a micro-minister, he cannot be arrested beyond the ranks."

As soon as he heard that his identity was extraordinary, Emperor Jin An's displeasure dissipated, his brows tightened, a wave of anger appeared in his majestic eyes, and he said coldly: "Who is that person accusing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, the defendant is none other than - Hubu Shangshu Puting!"

Hearing this, there was an uproar in the court.

What did Tobe Shangshu do?

Why did this matter come to Tobe Shangshu again?

Who dares to sue the second-class members of the imperial court?

Countless questions hovered in the minds of the civil and military officials, and under the surprise, the whispers left and right were endless.

On the other side, Jiang Bowen thought for a long time, and suddenly understood why Yang Yishu was laughing.

A game against Po Ting opened.

Pu Ting, who was named, was even more panicked, and subconsciously knelt on the ground and shouted: "The minister is wronged!" ”

"Whether it is wronged or not, everything is unknown." Emperor Jin An narrowed his eyes, his voice became colder and colder, and he asked Tian Shengyang again, "What is the charge that person accused him?" ”

Tian Shengyang took a deep breath, his nervous palms sweating: "Corruption and bribery, deduction of public bank, and indiscriminate collection of taxes." ”

Three major charges came out of his mouth, and each of them was enough to ruin Pu Ting's good future.

Seeing that the situation was like this, Pu Ting's heart was beating wildly, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his forehead, and he was about to avenge himself, but in vain he found that he was speechless.

Redress grievances, ask the guilt down to the three religions and nine streams, up to the emperor and the royal family.

He knows too well the consequences of being sued on the grievance platform, and once he is questioned, he can't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.

Moreover, he could not guarantee that his hands were clean.

Emperor Jin An became more and more silent, and his dark eyes lingered on Pu Ting.

He frowned and pondered, then looked at Qi Changrong, the crown prince of the East Palace.

"What does the prince mean?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were fixed on Qi Changrong, and his words and deeds at this moment will definitely be remembered.

Qi Changrong was unconscious, and his shoulders shrugged lightly: "Since it is 'beating the drum and singing grievances', just check it." ”

Emperor Jin An asked another person: "What does Ye Qing mean?" ”

Ye Quan, the secretary of the criminal department.

He is the same as Pu Ting, and he is the person in charge of the Criminal Department.

Ask him, it's the best fit.

Ye Quan's chin was slightly raised, and he said bluntly: "The Criminal Department only cares about the case, regardless of identity." ”

The implication is that as long as someone redresses their grievances, then their criminal department will be able to dispatch.

The existence of the Criminal Department is already special, even if it is the princes and nobles they want to interrogate, it is not necessarily that Ye Quan can frown.

Ye Quan was well versed in the holy will, and he knew very well that Emperor Jin An's question was not about whether to examine the matter, but whether to immediately take Pu Ting into custody.

His answer was yes.

Yes, you have to!

A few simple words of dialogue, but it was like sending Pu Ting to hell, and he suddenly sat down on the ground, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

Qin Zhong, who had been waiting to move, saw that the opportunity had come, and immediately stepped forward, taking out the momentum of the Imperial Historical Observatory and being aggressive.

"Pu Shangshu doesn't need to panic, it can't be fake, it can't be fake, if you firmly believe that you have been wronged, in my humble opinion, it is better to go to the criminal department for a while, and wait for the matter to be cleared up."

The corners of Pu Ting's mouth trembled, his heart was sad and angry, innocent? How can he talk about innocence?!
