However, the officials are very different, if the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty want to have some achievements in the officialdom, the premise is to be born as a scholar, first served as a pro-people official, and if you want to be a pro-people official, you have to go through the "official test", which is the content of the assessment is "to test the law and order the righteousness, judge the case, and according to the ranking of the official." Only by passing the "official examination" can we truly serve as pro-people officials.

The officials selected in this way, one is familiar with the law, and the other has experience in judging and adjudicating cases, and he is originally the one who sits in the courtroom, and when he is taken into custody by the criminal department for interrogation, he usually has a strong ability to resist trial, and it is not just a random person who can make him confess.

What's more, there is also the saying that the doctor cannot be punished.

Since punishment cannot be used, it can only be heard.

Hu Quan is already ready to stay in the Criminal Department for a long time, so he naturally wants to promote his own people. He had already arranged for a few henchmen to come in, and when he saw the credit of this free gift, he refused to let it, so he had to close to his family members first and ask those few to be tried.

He didn't take it seriously at first, until he saw that his subordinates had interrogated him for more than half a month, but there was no result at all, and he was faintly nervous.

There is a time limit for the trial of the case by the Criminal Prosecution Division, it is not that he can interrogate as long as he wants, and if it drags on for a long time, he will have to be held accountable.

He urged the head of the people, and waited for a few more days, but there was still no progress.

- The inquisitor is already difficult to interrogate, not to mention that Chen Ducai is still a man who can't get in. He cleaned up the finishing touches, and he was well versed in interrogation.

You tell him to "confess to the truth", but he only asks you once, "Confess what?" I didn't do anything that didn't conform to the rules of the court, how Yongqiu County Chang closed the position and how the treasury would have today, I don't know, I just hope that the court can find out the matter as soon as possible, and see which silverfish has done such evil things! ”

When you also said that "the evidence is conclusive" and told him to "honestly confess his guilt, he will naturally be lenient", and he said, "I also said this to the people in the past, and I have also memorized the 'Stable Law' by heart, so how can I know the law and break the law?" You must know that if the position is often closed and something happens to the treasury, I have to press the 'stolen goods theory', since I know that this will end, how can I do such a conscience-destroying thing for the sake of that little profit?! ”

But justice is awe-inspiring.

If you ask him about the situation in the treasury, he will cry to you, "I don't know which wicked person is stealing the treasury silver and grain without permission, so heinous, but I didn't realize it. ”

The interrogation was a little stricter, even if it was only a slight hint in his words, then Chen Ducai kept silent, urged him to be anxious, and only said calmly: "I have served in the state and county, and when interrogating suspects, I will not use torture unless I have to do so. ”

He also said: "Although I am now a prisoner, I am also an official of the imperial court, so I won't even get the dignity of ordinary people?" Could it be that this Gyeonggi Prison Department is actually inferior to the ordinary state and county government offices, and it is impossible to beat the imperial court officials? ”

Chen Ducai has a few acquaintances in the capital, and from time to time someone comes over to ask questions, but those who are interrogated are not light, and they are not serious.

This kind of repeated repeatedly, it really can't be delayed any longer, Hu Quan can't, knowing that he still has a specialization in the art industry, and his own subordinates may not be able to ask anything, so he has to find a few experienced interrogators, and wants to explain this matter to them.

Hu Quanman seems to think that this is a beautiful difference, as long as he shows his voice and goes out, naturally everyone is willing to do it, who would have thought that this time he would ask this, this said that there are still many things at hand, and he really can't spare his hand, ask that, that said to ask about the progress first, and when he saw the interrogation file came out, he actually excused himself, "I'm really ashamed, the methods I can use have been used before, I'm afraid I can't try anything new." ”

He has been an official for many years, and he is not stupid, where can he not see that there must be something else in it, so he asked someone to secretly investigate, and sure enough, he found that he was tired.

It turned out that because he monopolized power a while ago, Yao Jian had already taken a leave of absence to serve at home under the pretext that his father was sick, and the cadres in the Criminal Department did not know who led him, so they had already discussed it in private, and they wanted to see him Hu Quan "make a big ugly" and give Governor Yao a "bad breath".

In this case, whether it is for the sake of face or official prestige, it is impossible for Hu Quanju to find Yao Jian to do things, and everyone in the criminal department who has some ability secretly shrank his head and refused to come out, bent on watching jokes.

Hu Quan was annoyed for a long time, and was anxious, when he suddenly saw Gu Yanzhang come back, thinking of this one who was famous for judging cases in Ganzhou in the past, and later entered the academy for pardon, and also won a lot of praise from Dong Xiyan, and he couldn't care about the final judgment of the case, and the pardon had little to do with the trial. ”

Gu Yanzhang only returned to the Criminal Division, but he didn't know the situation, and suddenly he had no head or brains to get such an assignment, but he didn't refuse in a hurry, he just responded first, and went to go through the interrogation file carefully, and when he went home in the evening, he told Ji Qingling about the daytime.

Ji Qingling was surprised when he heard it: "Can't anyone in the Criminal Division be found?" It's the interrogation department, how can it be more than a month, and still can't find out a result? Did he wait until the fifth brother came back to explain the matter again? ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said: "I just arrived, and no one has anything to ask, so I only asked for the roster, and asked about my recent attendance, and there is nothing wrong with the rest, but the original governor of the Criminal Department has not been to the government for nearly half a month, and it is said that something happened at home." ”

Ji Qingling said: "Is it Governor Yao Jian, Governor Yao?" It seems that he has a very good official reputation in the Criminal Division, and I read the former Di Bao that day, and he took the lead in overturning many major cases, but because of the low level of the scientific examination that year, he took the wrong path when he was born, missed a foreign appointment, and only stayed in Beijing. ”

The two talked for a while, but saw a steward come in, it was Gu Yanzhang who sent someone to Du Mansion to interrogate, and at this time the person came back to deliver the letter.

Gu Yanzhang was originally with Du Tanzhi to inquire about the situation in the Criminal Division, because of the other party, although he is now serving in Dali Temple, but the two divisions are close to each other, and there are many contacts, how much can he know some rumors, at this time he opened the letter, saw a thick stack inside, and wrote three pages of small letters, and told Yao Jian and Hu Quan about the situation.

Ji Qingling looked at it on the side, was also a little worried, and asked, "Fifth brother, is this pushing you out to block the knife?" ”

He also said: "Then Chen Ducai is afraid that it is not easy to judge, I think he was born in the past, he is a person who can endure hardships, and he is also ruthless to himself." ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded and said, "Even so, this matter can't be hidden, once it is hidden, it will not be easy to stand up in the future." ”

Hu Quan was unwilling to give in, nor was he willing to lose face, so he wanted to push Gu Yanzhang out and block it, stop between himself and Yao Jian, and divert the anger of the cadres in the Criminal Division.

Once Gu Yanzhang took it, if he couldn't interrogate, it would be his problem, and if the interrogation could be done, everyone in the Criminal Division would also pour their anger on him.

But in Gu Yanzhang's view, this is not an opportunity.

No one took the credit for sending it out, so he might as well take it back first.
