Time flickered, and three days flashed by.

On this day, he had just arrived at the Yamen of Dali Temple when he heard some discussions.

"I heard. It seems that the new secretary of the Criminal Department will take office today. ”

"Who is that?"

"I heard that it was promoted by a waiter from the Ministry of Rites. ”

"The waiter of the Ministry of Rites has been promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department? ”

Compared with the Criminal Department, although the Ministry of Rites is one of the six departments, it is still a little worse in terms of real power.

And the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department, which is basically equivalent to crossing two levels in one step.

The Ministry of Rites of the same level is a little shorter than the Ministry of Punishment.

Therefore, the officials couldn't help but eat melons in a low voice, and there were many discussions.

Qin Zulai raised his eyebrows, "There is a new criminal department book?"

He really didn't know about it.

However, the position of the secretary of the criminal department is indeed a bit special now.

Zhang Liang, the original secretary of the Criminal Department, was fired, and then committed suicide.

The second secretary of the Criminal Department is the big boss behind the scenes, Yuwen Chengdu.

Therefore, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is now a bit like a hot potato, and many people say in private that there is a curse in this position, and whoever goes is unlucky.

But he didn't expect that in just a few days, there was already a new criminal department book.

However, it is normal to think about it, the Criminal Department is a criminal punishment organ, and once the Criminal Department is suspended, it will affect the course of the entire Datang case.

Therefore, there can be no Book of Rites, but there must be no Book of Punishment.

"Lord Qin. ”

At this moment, an extremely familiar voice suddenly stopped Qin Zulai.

Qin Zulai turned around and saw Li Xiaoyao, the young secretary of Dali Temple, calling him.

"Master Li. Qin Zulai arched his hand.

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said, "A few days ago, thank you for solving the case of her slave sister for Her Royal Highness the little princess." ”

Qin Zulai waved his hand, and said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's a small case, it's just a matter of raising your hands." ”

Li Xiaoyao smiled, and then said: "Let's not talk about this for a while, the recent matter of the Criminal Department Shangshu, Lord Qin, have you heard about it?"

Qin Zulai nodded.

Li Xiaoyao looked at him, "Lord Qin, do you know who it is?"

"It is said to be a squire of the Ministry of Rites. ”

Li Xiaoyao nodded and said: "Yes, it is the original waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Du Lin Li, and Du Lin Li's grandmother is the distant cousin of the original Prime Minister Du Ruhui." ”

"His temperament is relatively stubborn, and he has been in the Ministry of Rites all these years. ”

"Now the Criminal Department lacks Shangshu, because of the matter of Yuwen Chengdu, His Majesty and the eldest grandson did not dare to arrange candidates casually, so they chose and chosen, and finally found Du Lin Li. ”

"Du Lin Li himself was born without problems, and with Du Ruhui's protection, although these years have been tepid, at least he is loyal to His Majesty, so he temporarily let him serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

Qin Zulai thought about it, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and said, "Lord Li and Xiaguan said this, but this Du Lin Li, is there any problem?"

Li Xiaoyao sighed, "It's not a big problem, it's just a small problem, and he may be unkind to you." ”

"Why?"

Qin Zulai was a little surprised, "Xia Guan has never crossed paths with him, and he hasn't offended him anywhere, right?"

Li Xiaoyao looked at Qin Zulai and said, "The relationship between Zhang Liang and Du Lin Li is irreversible, before both of them rose, their relationship was very good. ”

"What do you say about Zhang Liang, greedy and short-sighted. ”

"But for Du Lin Li is really a brother, even if he has done so many evil things, he has never pulled Du Lin Li into the water, and Du Lin Li treats Zhang Liang the same. ”

"And now Zhang Liang was demoted because of you, and later committed suicide, and he didn't have a good reputation for suicide, and he will be spurned after death, all of which can be said to be related to you. ”

"So...... Du Lin Li, a stubborn guy, has a hard time turning his brain, and he may not be kind to you, and this official is telling you this to give you a wake-up call. ”

It was only then that Qin Zu came to his senses.

The co-author is Zhang Liang's brother!

But Zhang Liang will end up like that, what does it have to do with him?

If Zhang Liang didn't do those things, would he still be able to wronged Zhang Liang?

He said lightly: "Zhang Liang's matter has been decided, and it is all Zhang Liang's own fault, and it has nothing to do with the lower officials." ”

"If that Lord Du was quieter, it would be fine, but if he came to trouble the lower officials because of this matter......"

"Xiaguan, no matter what identity he has, what background he has, or what status he has...... The lower officials will fight according to reason, and when the time comes, it will blow the face of this adult and make him disgraced, so it is no wonder that the lower officials will be lowered. ”

"Not to mention ........."

My daughter-in-law is still Her Royal Highness Princess Changle, my father-in-law of someone in Qin, but Li Shimin.

Qin Zulai didn't speak, but looked at Li Xiaoyao,

said calmly: "If he really finds trouble with the lower officials because of Zhang Liang, and there is no justice and fairness at all, then the lower officials don't think that he is qualified to be the secretary of the criminal department, and the lower officials will admonish him, and ask Lord Wei to take action and impeach him!"

Qin Zu said calmly.

There was no fluctuation in his tone, but Li Xiaoyao was shocked.

He is also regarded as having watched Qin Zulai come from Dali Temple, and he also knows a little about Qin Zulai.

He knew that in Dali Temple, the calmer Qin Zulai was, the more determined this matter was in Qin Zulai's heart.

If Du Lin Li really came to trouble Qin Zulai, Qin Zulai would really do this!

And with Qin Zulai's current power in the imperial court......

Oh, my God!

Li Xiaoyao suddenly chuckled in his heart, he suddenly felt that this Du Lin Li was likely to become even shorter than the reign of Yuwen Chengdu's criminal department Shangshu.

That's really the shortest criminal department book in the world.

Li Xiaoyao hurriedly said: "Of course, Du Lin Li, this person is not bad, otherwise His Majesty would not have let him serve as the secretary of the Criminal Department." ”

"So this official told you that it is just a possibility, and he may not come ......"

"Lord Shaoqing, Lord Judge of the Trial. ”

Before Li Xiaoyao finished speaking, a servant suddenly rushed over and interrupted Li Xiaoyao's words.

He said: "Two adults, Master Shangshu Du of the Criminal Department is here, saying that he wants to see the judge of the trial. ”

Brush!!

In Qin Zulai's eyes, the essence suddenly flashed.

He looked at Li Xiaoyao silently.

Li Xiaoyao's face immediately turned red.

Oh, my God!

You don't have to slap your face so quickly, do you?

I just said he wouldn't be able to do it, and he came right away.

came on the day of taking office, do you really want to be impeached and lose office tomorrow?

Li Xiaoyao had no doubt about Qin Zulai's ability, and with Qin Zulai's ingenuity, he played Du Lin Li to death. It was a matter of moments.

Qin Zu said: "Lord Li, Lord Du wants to see the lower official, and the lower official is not good to let Lord Du wait longer, so the lower official will retire first." ”

After speaking, Qin Zulai turned around and left directly.

Li Xiaoyao looked at Qin Zulai's back, and really didn't know what expression to show.

He felt that he should tell the eldest grandson Wuji and prepare to find the new criminal department secretary.

This official position is really poisonous!

When Qin Zulai arrived in the backyard hall, the newly appointed Shangshu Du Lin Li of the Criminal Department, and Sun Chong, the chief servant of the Criminal Department, had already arrived.

The eldest grandson rushed to Qin Zulai and nodded slightly, with some worry in his expression.

Qin Zulai returned the salute with a smile, and immediately bowed his hand to Du Lin Li and said, "I've seen Lord Shangshu." ”

Du Lin Li was just now, looking at the paintings in the hall with his back to him.

At this time, when he heard Qin Zulai's voice, he turned his head.

It was also at this time that Qin Zulai saw Du Lin Li's appearance clearly.

Doolin Lee is a man in his fifties with gray hair.

He has some beard and a Chinese face, and he looks a little majestic

Seeing Qin Zulai at this time, those eyes flashed with a faint light.

He nodded slightly, and said "um" in an official tone.

"You are Qin Zulai?"

He glanced at Qin Zulai, then shook his head and said, "Too young, at such an age, what big things can you experience, what training experience do you have?"

"Official, you were lucky to solve those cases. ”

"If this official is you, you will immediately hand in your resignation now, go to the grassroots level for decades, and when you really have experience, you will come back to be the judge of Dali Temple, so that you can be worthy of Your Majesty's trust in you. ”

Qin Zulai straightened up and said with a smile: "Like Lord Du, after squatting on the seat of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites for decades, everyone is half buried in the ground, and there is no achievement. ”

"In the end, I was promoted by virtue of my qualifications and birth, is this called experience?"

"If that's how it's called experience, then Qingshu's subordinate can't agree, people don't grow up in this life, they all live like dogs, they have no achievements at all, they don't have any enterprising spirit at all, don't adults think it's embarrassing?"

The eldest grandson Chong on the side, when he heard the first words of Qin Zulai and Du Lin Li, his face couldn't help but change slightly.

And Du Lin Li raised his eyebrows upside down.

He slapped the table and said sharply: "Qin Zulai, are you sarcastic about this official?"

Qin Zulai said with a smile: "Didn't the lord discuss with the lower officials? the lower officials just truthfully said the thoughts of the lower officials, how can they be sarcastic?"

"And the lower official, I didn't say who lived to the dog, and I asked Lord Du not to substitute for himself, that's not good. ”

"You...... You ......"

Du Lin Li looked at Qin Zulai with a sunny smile on his face, and he trembled with anger.

Old yin and yang people!!

He said angrily: "Sharp teeth, no ability, will be sharp teeth!"

"Qin Zulai, in this life, you can't just rely on luck, luck will always run out, and this official is also afraid that you will judge the wrong case in the future, for your own good. ”

When the words fell, Qin Zulai still had that gentle smile.

"Do you know that the most shameful thing in this world is to do harmful things under the banner of doing good for others?"

Du Lin Li didn't say a word, and was instantly rebuffed by Qin Zulai.

This is really going to blow up Durin Lee!

The eldest grandson Chong on the side was also terrified when he heard it.

But in my heart, I was still inexplicably cool.

Anyway, he didn't dare to do this to Du Lin Lee.

"You...... You ......"

Du Lin's whole body trembled.

He slapped the table wildly, "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!

"Come on, grab Qin Zu for me! If you commit the following crimes, this official will definitely punish you severely!"

But he called for a long time, but no official outside came in.

Qin Zulai still had that sunny smile, "Lord Du, it's okay if you're angry, don't break the table in our Dali Temple, this is public property, and you have to pay a fine." ”

"You ......"

Du Lin Li's face turned red with anger, he pointed at Qin Zu, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

But really, I didn't dare to slap the table anymore.

Changsun Chong was really afraid that Du Lin Li would be angry to death, so he hurriedly went over to give Du Lin Li a good luck.

Du Lin Li pushed Changsun Chong away and walked directly in front of Qin Zulai.

He raised his palm, and he was about to fan it like Qin Zu.

Qin Zulai's eyes suddenly stared sharply at Du Lin Li, and his voice became cold in an instant.

"If you dare to touch me, it is an abuse of private power, Lord Du...... You abuse your private power in private with a court official. ”

"What kind of responsibility is this, what is the punishment, I think Du beat people as the secretary of the Criminal Department, it should be like a stream, right?"

"If Lord Du doesn't remember the punishment, is not afraid of infamy, and is not afraid of his life's efforts to turn into ashes, then fight, the lower officials promise to take the initiative to catch up, and they won't even dodge. ”

As soon as these words fell, Du Lin Li's raised hand directly stopped in mid-air.

He froze.

Let's fight, as Qin Zulai said, he can't afford this crime.

But if you don't fight, your hands are already raised, and if you don't fight, if you take it back, then there will be no place for his face to put at all.

At this moment, Du Lin Li was really embarrassed to die.

And Qin Zulai said lightly: "Zhang Liangqi, what kind of crime is there, that is obvious to all." ”

"Yu Shitai personally investigated, and His Majesty personally ordered it, so everything he did was to blame. ”

"This official doesn't understand, why Du Faren can't see the facts clearly? Is it because Master Du is old and his eyes are blind?"

"You ......"

Qin Zulai continued: "And there are many people who let Zhang Liangluo fall to that point, Lord Wei, Lord Eldest Sun, Lord Li, ......"

"They also contributed, so why didn't Lord Du go to them for trouble, but once he gained power, he immediately came to find trouble with the lower officials?"

"Oh, by the way, I know, it's because the lower official is the smallest, and the lower official is the easiest to bully. ”

"So in the final analysis, Lord Du is just bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, and the persimmon picks the soft pinch, am I right?"

"Lord Du only dares to bully the lower officials, and for other adults, he doesn't even dare to let out a fart...... Master Du, Xia Guan actually really looks down on you. ”

"Shut up!!"

Du Lin Li couldn't help it at all, and coaxed angrily.

Qin Zulai smiled, "It's okay to deny it, you hit it down, hit me in the face, as long as you dare to hit it, then the lower officials will think that you don't bully the weak and fear the hard." ”

"You, let's fight!"

At this moment, Du Lin Li's face froze again.

The eldest grandson Chong on the side was already stunned.

He felt that Qin Zulai was really too good.

It's not just about solving cases and scolding people, it's also a first-class person!!
