Seventh Round: Final Strike Seven
Nine times out of ten, the people in the Ministry of Officials are the current people of the Ministry of Officials, and for the sake of their boss's reputation and status, of course they will have some expressions. It was such a look that made the people in the criminal department feel insulted and hurt. The scribe of the criminal department who has been in the officialdom for a long time can endure it, and he can act as if he didn't see anything, but this upstart in the criminal department can't stand it. There are too many officials like him in the capital to count, and it would be a beauty difference to be able to come out and be majestic. I finally got such an opportunity, because there were also officials from the Ministry of Officials, and more than half of the limelight had been stolen, but I didn't expect to look down on the other party and the people from the Ministry in the process of handling the case, which of course made people angry.
He said almost in a roaring way: "Lao Tzu represents the criminal department." That's what Lao Tzu is going to do. Who would dare to object? Who dares to say that this official is not qualified? Who dares to say that the Criminal Department, the highest judicial yamen in the country, is not qualified? ”
He brought this out, and even the people in the Ministry of Officials were embarrassed to object, and they did not dare to blatantly say that the Ministry of Officials looked down on the Criminal Department. They do not have the qualifications to say so, and they cannot make public the contradictions between the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs in front of outsiders. The scribes of the Criminal Department also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they didn't have to worry about the people of the Criminal Department offending the people of the Ministry of Justice.
The people from the Criminal Department did not dare to target the people of the Ministry of Officials, of course, they had to vent all their anger and dissatisfaction on Qin Tai. Not only the people from the Criminal Department, but even other people on the side felt that Qin Tai was going to be unlucky this time, and Qin Tai completely offended this impulsive person from the Criminal Department.
Qin Tai didn't panic, picked up one of his notes and said, "Since the adult said that he can represent the Criminal Department, he has the right to read and view all my notes. Well, I believe you have the qualifications and the right to do so. Then I will read my notes, and I believe you can hear whether these contents are within the scope of supervision of the Criminal Department. As he spoke, he read aloud a passage, and was stopped after a few sentences.
The person who stopped Qin Tai from reading aloud was not from the Criminal Department, but from the Ministry of Officials. A passage that Qin Tai read was not about solving a case, but about the criminal process of a bribe-taking official voluntarily confessing. Although this official confessed his crimes, he was not dismissed because of his own origins. This official is not only still active in the officialdom, but also an important official in the ministry. As a close subordinate of this official, of course the officials knew about his past, and immediately stopped Qin Tai's reading. He had privately decided that he would never let this text circulate.
After Qin Tai glanced at the officials of the Ministry of Justice, he said to the person from the Criminal Department, "Is this your investigation authority?" Do the people of the Criminal Department have the right to ask me to hand over the secrets of the officials of the Ministry? Kazu-sama doesn't seem to be qualified. Do you have any authorization? It is better to have an edict from Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department. Of course, there must also be adult warrants from other relevant departments. For example, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and so on. Otherwise, the information of these officials cannot be directly handed over to your criminal department. There are also Ouchi things here, such as a map of the harem, and a royal secret file. You also know that I have done many things for the former emperor and the queen mother, and my notes involve the affairs of these people and royal secrets. Is the Ministry of Criminal Justice authorized by the royal family? I don't know if the people from the Criminal Department will be taken away by Jinyiwei or Dongchang after they know the royal secrets. How many people from the Criminal Department still want to check it? Do you want the officials and a few officials to listen to it on the side? Anyway, our husband and wife have already heard a lot and seen a lot, whether it is to go to Jinyiwei or Dongchang. ”
Qin Tai's words frightened the scribes of the Criminal Department and hurriedly put down the things in their hands, and the people of the Ministry of Officials even withdrew from Qin Tai's study, and the people who protected and guarded Qin Tai and his wife also left Qin Tai and his wife far away. The people from the Criminal Department originally wanted to continue to hold on, but after seeing everyone's behavior and expressions, they were too frightened to speak in a disorderly manner. He can't represent the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department has no right to check the royal secrets, especially when it comes to the Queen Mother and the former Emperor. If outsiders knew about it, these people would be taken away by Jinyiwei or Dongchang, these people from the yamen are all guys who eat people and don't spit out bones, and no one wants to go in like this. Everyone looked at the people from the Criminal Department with a warning look, even the eight scribes of the Criminal Department. Originally, they didn't care about the behavior of this ignorant boss, but now that this person's behavior is very likely to be related to their future, these already sleek scribes showed their hideous faces for the first time. If you dare to mess around, we will die of acid and pull you to die with the ruthlessness. Frightened, this self-righteous criminal department didn't dare to say anything or move, and probably wouldn't dare to do it again for the rest of his life.
Because Qin Tai and his wife said that the notes involved royal secrets, this was beyond the scope of the authority of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials, and the people of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials did not dare to do it any further. While ordering Qin Tai's home to continue to be sealed and guarded, they reported this information to their superiors as quickly as possible. Without a clear order from their superiors, they would not dare and would not make any moves, and they would also prevent others from making any moves against Qin Tai and the Qin Tai family.
Although on the surface, it seems that Qin Tai and his wife have made the people sent by the imperial court lose face, it can be regarded as Qin Tai and his wife winning. In fact, both Qin Tai and his wife and these officials knew that Qin Tai and his wife were only temporarily curbing the officials' difficulties for Qin Tai and his wife. Although Qin Tai and his wife can take the opportunity to teach these people a lesson, Qin Tai and his wife will never be able to deal with the little emperor and other people behind the scenes. The little emperor will immediately send someone to come again, and at that time, Qin Tai and his wife will still be ridiculed by the people who come, and even more embarrassed. It's just that when the time comes, it is not only Qin Tai and his wife who will be ridiculed together, but also the people from the criminal department and the official department who came to hand over this time.
Zhan Xiaoxiao had already begun to secretly transfer some of the family's belongings, preparing to fight for as many supplies as possible before the next wave of people from the imperial court came. But this action immediately attracted the attention of the people who watched their every move. In order not to cause everyone to act in advance, Qin Tai had to do the work himself to persuade his old parents. Because the imperial court only announced the seizure of the property in Qin Tai's name, once Qin Tai and his old father broke off the relationship, at least some of the old Qin family's property could be kept. In order to let Qin Tai's parents have something to rely on in their old age, and in order to let Qin Tai's children have a certain amount of land to use in the future, Qin Tai had to ask his old father to come forward and kick him out of the house. This kind of behavior is not unheard of in my hometown, but it is all because children are not filial to their parents and have no choice but to do it. A phenomenon like Qin Tai is rare.
According to the ancient civil inheritance law, the property of the parents has the right to inherit as the son, but there are also restrictions. In ancient times, the concept of men and women was very serious, sons had the right to inherit, and daughters did not have the right to inherit even if they were biological, unless the son-in-law was a son-in-law, the daughter and son-in-law could have part of the inheritance. In ancient times, there were disputes in the capital of large families due to the inheritance of family business. Some large families have their own biological sons, it is relatively simple, the eldest son has more points, and the other younger brothers can inherit a share of the family business; If a large family has no sons-in-law, but only sons born to concubines, it is necessary for the eldest wife to choose one of the sons born to the younger wife to inherit the name of the eldest wife, which is regarded as the inheritance of the family business. This inherited child can inherit most of the family business alone. If a large family has only one son born to a little wife, this son will be directly regarded as the son of the eldest wife, otherwise he will not be able to inherit the family business; In some large families, it will happen that the younger wife gives birth to the master's own son, but the eldest wife has already chosen her own stepchild. This situation is very incomprehensible to modern people, because the eldest son who passed on to the eldest wife is not his own child, but can inherit more family business than the eldest wife's biological son. This is the most important thing in ancient times, the order of the young and the orderly, the difference between the descendants; The most surprising thing is the difference between a biological daughter and a step-son. Some large families only have daughters and no sons, so they will pass on other stepchildren, which are stepsons. Although some big families have their own stepsons, they still care about their daughter's future, so they come to recruit a man. When the parents are in good health, the daughter and son-in-law must be more popular than the stepson. But once the old parents are gone or in poor health, the stepson is more authoritative than the daughter and son-in-law, and can even drive the son-in-law away from the family. In ancient times, how to divide the family property and how to distribute the family property were very troublesome and important things.
