Gu Chengyu sighed secretly in his heart, not knowing whether to say that Yin Kun's comment on him just now was right, or whether to say that Yin Kun was too insensitive to the situation.

"As soon as I release the news, I will say that once the tea tax cannot be implemented, the tax will have to be increased by the people. You see? If the tea merchants openly resisted, the people would naturally refuse. If it comes in secret, then I don't have to be afraid. ”

Yin Kun looked at Gu Chengyu in shock, this is a master of trickery.

He stroked his beard, "As you said, if those people come in secret, they will be invincible, and two fists will be invincible with four hands." Besides, there are only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves? Even if you're not afraid, what about your family? ”

Gu Chengyu knew that Yin Kun was worried about him, and a warmth welled up in his heart.

"Senior brother, don't worry! I am an official of the imperial court, and this is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and these people don't dare to be too bold. If they want to stumble in the officialdom, I will stop them. ”

Yin Kun was still a little worried, those people did everything for money.

"You have to be careful, those people are not easy to get along with." His attitude of not caring about Gu Chengyu made his worry even more serious.

"Senior brother! Seeking wealth and danger, people in officialdom are involuntarily. If you are always timid, how can you make great achievements? ”

Gu Chengyu is not just persuading Yin Kun, but also to motivate himself.

Yin Kun was speechless, this little junior brother was different from himself, and he didn't know whether such a temperament was a blessing or a curse.

He thought of his junior brother He Jisheng, who was also very similar to Gu Chengyu's temperament, but He Jisheng was more unscrupulous.

"It's good that you have your own measure, the teacher has already done it, and he can't help you much. Although your second senior brother and I can also help you a little, our ability is limited after all. ”

Yin Kun gave a piece of advice again, he and Gu Chengyu have different temperaments, he can only keep it.

Although he didn't understand Gu Chengyu's radicalism, Gu Chengyu was always his junior brother, and he still had to help him if necessary.

"Thank you for your support, since I got together with my brother, my brother has taken a lot of care of me. I will be careful not to cause trouble to my teachers and brothers in the future. ”

can do this, Yin Kun, as a senior brother, has done his best.

"That's it! Our brothers don't need to be so polite. Recently, you have to be careful, the emperor may want to set up a prince, and there is some turmoil in the capital. Your rank is too low, don't get involved in the game of the princes, stop for a while. ”

Yin Kun was afraid that Gu Chengyu would be too sharp, so those princes would pull him into the whirlpool of seizing the prince.

"Is the day when the emperor will appoint a prince? What's wrong with those princes? Gu Chengyu frowned and pondered when he heard this, and then asked.

"The eldest prince received an errand from the Criminal Department three months ago, and the emperor ordered him to verify the criminal case files in recent years, but he was also involved in a copy by the Three Princes' Party before."

"Oh? So what's going on? "Gu Chengyu is a little strange, how can such a thing as verifying the case let the eldest prince do it himself?

Those death penalty cases, as long as they have been reviewed by the criminal department, are unlikely to be overturned if they are re-verified.

"Two months ago, there was a tragedy in Hejian Province, and there were six people in that family. It is said that the killer was their neighbor and the murder weapon was a knife. It's just that the murder weapon was not found, and the neighbor refused to admit it. ”

"Originally, this case has been reviewed by the Criminal Department, and that person will be beheaded after the autumn. However, the eldest prince happened to receive an errand from the Criminal Department, and there was a catcher in the Hejian Mansion, and he found other evidence, and felt that there was something strange about this matter. ”

Yin Kun said a rough idea of the matter in one breath, and then picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"If there is something strange about this matter, then find evidence again, and find the Criminal Department to re-review, how can you join the eldest prince?"

"If that's the case, then it's not a big deal. But the problem is that the prisoner died, died in prison, his neck was cut, and the murder weapon was a sharp knife, which coincided with the murder weapon that killed the family. ”

"Oh?" Gu Chengyu raised his eyebrows, this is somewhat interesting.

"That man was caught in prison and couldn't have carried a murder weapon with him, right? Maybe the murderer is someone else! ”

Gu Chengyu thought about it, could it be that someone brought the murder weapon into prison, and then that person committed suicide in fear of crime?

But this is not necessary at all, anyway, I have to ask the autumn queen, where is the need to commit suicide at this time?

"I don't know, anyway, this matter was caught by those imperial historians. It is said that the eldest prince received an errand from the Criminal Department, but mistakenly took an innocent person for a prisoner, resulting in the prisoner dying in prison and allowing the murderer to go unpunished. ”

Although Yin Kun felt that the eldest prince was a little wronged in this matter, who let the eldest prince do things in the criminal department?

Those people are worried that they won't have a chance to catch the mistakes of the great prince, isn't this just an opportunity?

"This is a bit far-fetched, the people in the criminal department are all following the clues in the file to review. If there is a new clue and not report it immediately, it will lead to the wrong judgment of the criminal department, which seems unreasonable, right? ”

Gu Chengyu felt a little strange, the people from the Criminal Department were in the capital, how could they know the progress of the case immediately?

Yin Kun shook his head, "If the Criminal Department doesn't know that there is new progress, then forget it, but the Hejian Mansion has already stepped up and sent new clues to the Criminal Department, which is a dereliction of duty by the Criminal Department." ”

"The criminal department can't be delayed." Gu Chengyu was a little clear, this was sent to the capital quickly, and the prisoner died in prison? It's a good thing in this world.

However, in normal times, for the Criminal Department, this matter is actually not a big deal.

Because if this prisoner is not killed, he will naturally be in prison.

It was still too late to re-examine the case, but I didn't expect the prisoner to die like this.

And the trouble is that the eldest prince is working in the criminal department, and the purpose of those people is naturally to catch the handle of the eldest prince.

Are there still fewer unjust, false and wrongful convictions in ancient times? It is very likely that the wrong case is judged, if it is not discovered, is it not a mistake?

Besides, there has been a mutual protection between officials and officials since ancient times, and even if the people who come to check see something, there is also a way to put those wrongful cases away.

"But have you found someone to be a scapegoat?"

Gu Chengyu felt that the eldest prince must cherish his reputation at this stall, and he still had great hope of becoming the prince.

Yin Kun was already numb to Gu Chengyu's intelligence, "Naturally, he was a chief of the Qing Officials Department of Hejian Mansion of the Criminal Department, and the file sent by Hejian Mansion arrived at him, and he forgot to hand it in." ”

Gu Chengyu shook his head, whether this person came out of the top tank or if it was the case. In the past, I only needed to be punished, but this time I will definitely lose the black yarn hat.

"Is this matter settled now?" Gu Chengyu didn't ask about the fate of the principal, officialdom is so cruel.

"Not yet, it's dragging! At this juncture, the eldest prince naturally couldn't leave the capital, so he asked someone to go to Hejian Mansion to investigate the matter thoroughly. ”
