"West Third Ring Road, Terrier Prison, North Second Ring Road, Sibo Li Prison" After spending five silver coins and waiting for more than a full time, Ao Zongheng got the names of these two prisons.

It was evident that a maid could not have known this information, but the shiny silver coin confused her eyes and fascinated her heart, and she volunteered to inquire with Ao Zongheng on the condition that it be five silver coins.

The arrogant handwriting completely ignited her desire, just a few questions can be worth months of hard work, how many people can resist this temptation?

The maid didn't go far to find someone to inquire, anyway, she didn't run out of the range of arrogance, the object of his inquiry seemed to be another man-servant who belonged to the same family, this man-maid seemed to be a little interesting to her, and when she came to ask, she said a lot.

The Imperial Capital was definitely the most densely populated area in the empire, and there were more than 400,000 registered military and civilian slaves in this 120-tare land, which was more than the average population of a Sakai. With so many people coming together, and the empire known for its strict criminal laws, prisons must not only be there, but they must also be sufficient.

There are five rings outside the imperial capital, and except for one ring, each ring has at least one prison. The prisons of the empire were divided into two types: prisons and prisons, the former was better used to detain and imprison people with more status, and the latter were all civilian slaves.

Like this Shernashak family, they were divided into these two places, and the one who was going to be arrogant was naturally the prison of the priest.

I definitely have to go, but it's too early to go, and the prison during the day is far less peaceful than the night, and there may be arraignment or something at any time. And instead of passing over so rashly, it is better to use this time to learn a little more about the inside story.

It took a long time to throw out thirty polin silver, and Ao Zongheng finally figured out the causes and consequences of the so-called dam fraud case in people's mouths

Two and a half months ago, at the height of the rainy season, rivers in the central and southern parts of the country overflowed, bursting several dams and flooding the military road. As mentioned earlier, it was considered a disaster-stricken Sakai at the time, but the actual losses of the people were not large, and even an unprecedentedly huge mine was washed out.

Militarily, however, the damage caused by this modest flood was significant.

The flood flooded the military road, which naturally hindered the march, and only then did the transfer of the new army be delayed, only then did Le Weima commit merit and jealousy, only then did there be the delay of the fighters on the western front, only then did the great defeat in the three counties of Gagawa, and only then did there be the loss of the enemy. Looking at the effects of this series of effects, it all stemmed from the overflow of the embankment - it was the common opinion of the Governor and the Ministry of Military Affairs, who urged the Imperial Court to thoroughly investigate the breach and find out if there was any corruption that caused this series of avoidable disasters.

Not only the courtiers, but even those who heard about this and had a passable level of education could conclude that this was just a dump between the eunuchs and the Ministry of Military Affairs, but how could Emperor Sha Lin feel that what they said was also reasonable, and the other courtiers either had nothing to do with themselves, or they were powerless, in short, there was no enough weight of opposition, so Emperor Cha Lin immediately issued an order and investigated thoroughly with the supervisors.

The efficiency of the prison has always been leveraged, not to mention the decree of the Emperor of the Emperor. The upper and lower levels of the prison immediately took action, with the left supervisor of the prison in command, and the troops were divided into multiple ways to attack the various departments, the focus of which was of course the Ministry of Construction, which was not a tendentious target, but in fact the construction of dams and roads was under the control of the Ministry of Construction.

On the night of a few days ago, the prisoner took a large number of people directly to the door of Deputy Secretary Shernashak's house, and all of them were taken away from the head of the house to the house slaves. The fluctuation was very quiet, and it was at night, and hundreds of families in the neighborhood knew about it. But no one dared to come forward to ask, and they all secretly watched in the corners of their courtyard walls and in the cracks of their doors.

Two days later, news came out that Deputy Secretary Sernashak, who was in charge of water conservancy and southern road administration, had abused power and cheated on government affairs, and had failed to notice the damage and repair of dams and military roads.

Those who live in the second ring are either outdated nobles, or middle and low-level officials in the imperial capital, and no one lacks political sensitivity.

It is very terrible to take a prisoner's shot, claiming that there is no time to return, but being arrested by the prisoner is not necessarily the end, because the prisoner arrests people, never needs to wait until the evidence is conclusive, and if you feel that you are suspicious enough, you will take it, and if the evidence is not evidence, take you back and talk slowly, and find it slowly. Although it is rare for a person like the Shernashak family to take away a full door at once, the final result depends on the news that comes out after the people are arrested.

The first is to look at the speed of the news, if there is no news for a few days after the person is taken away, it means that there is no breakthrough in the interrogation, and the same faction or stakeholders outside, etc., can go to the operation and strive to turn the big thing into a small thing.

The second is to look at the reasons for being arrested, power fraud, and greed for sex are all common crimes, but if a specific case is not specified, and only one crime is stated, it is still relatively false, and there is still room for maneuver.

But like Vice Secretary Sernashak, not only did the news come out quickly, the charges and execution were clear, and he even directly buckled the hat of the culprit who led to the defeat on the Western Front. The only thing that can be said to be suspenseful now is, how much can the bloodline of the Shernashak family survive?

It's no wonder that the people of the Second Ring of the Second Ring, when they hear the name of the Shernashak family, look like they can't avoid it—who knows how many more people will be arrested by the prisoner? Who knows if you are the bait of the prisoner?

Around the same time.

Imperial capital, Left Avenue, Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the Imperial Criminal and Legal Affairs, and is not only responsible for judicial trials, but also has the power to govern and guide the public security affairs in Sakai, which is equivalent to the integration of the public prosecutor's office and the judicial department of some countries in a certain world. In terms of power, the Ministry of Law is also ranked in the top five among all ministries. If you want to talk about the deterrent power, it is second only to the Ministry of Military Affairs, if ordinary people pass by the gate of the Ministry of Law, they don't dare to squint, and they can't wait to pass through quickly - there are always a few stunned people who linger in front of the Ministry of Law and are caught in front of the Ministry of Law.

Hirajiki is now in front of the courtyard of the Ministry of Justice.

Of course, he didn't come to linger, he got out of the trench car, raised his feet and walked into the courtyard.

On the left and right of the courtyard gate, in addition to the stone at the town gate, there are a total of ten guards with armor and guns, these guards belong to the forbidden army, and they are stationed to guard various important gates in the imperial capital, and they are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Law. But strangely, they seemed to turn a blind eye to Hirajiki and let him go straight into the ministry.

On his chest is a silver badge engraved with the emblem of the Ministry of Law, which is the identity certificate of the officials of the Ministry of Law.

Why does Hirajimu have a silver badge from the Ministry of Law?

Because his owner is the current Secretary of Law Lan Ming, didn't I say it?

Ping Jimu is the magic consultant of the Lan Ming family, and under normal circumstances, he does not need to follow the Secretary of Justice to the Ministry of Justice, but for the convenience of work. Lord Minislin gave him this badge, with this badge, not to mention the outer ring area, the imperial capital can also enter and exit freely. So Ping Jimu usually wears this badge, if Ao Zongheng knew his identity, he would definitely grab this badge, and what kind of ring badge do you want.

Ping Jimu came to the ministry to find the owner, but it was not the owner who called him, he himself came to report the case, to be precise, it was to report in advance.

Of course, Ping Jimu didn't know the purpose of the masked man coming to the imperial capital, but since he had this ability, he would use this way to get the badge of the ring area, it would definitely not be simple, and he was afraid that if he made any waves in the imperial capital. Well, what kind of waves are born has nothing to do with him Ping Jimu, and he is not responsible for this. But he was afraid, afraid that this masked man would miss - in his opinion, this was almost inevitable, this was the imperial capital, there were more mages than himself, and even if this masked man was ten times more powerful than himself, it would be in vain. His success or failure has nothing to do with Ping Jimu, but if he is arrested, and then during the interrogation, he confesses that this badge was taken from himself, then wouldn't he be implicated and unlucky?

He was very satisfied with his current life, which was simply what he had dreamed of since the beginning of his Fa cultivation, and he was absolutely unwilling to say goodbye to this kind of good life because of this masked man, so he had to explain the situation to the owner in advance.

That's right, it's a shame for a spell advisor to be robbed of his badge and a large sum of money, and it may even affect the owner's confidence in him, but when it comes to people, Ping Jimu understood it twenty years ago.

"You mean, you just got back to your residence when you saw this masked man escaping from inside?" said Master Minisei after listening to Hirayoshiki's repeated narration before confirming this crucial question.

"Yes, Lord Lord, he uses wind spells, and he moves very fast. Except for the "adaptation" of the key plot, the other parts are truthfully stated.

"What did you lose?"

"The badge of the second ring area, and some money, that's it. ”

"You didn't fight him, but can you judge the rank of this mage? The Minister asked again.

"In terms of the speed of his actions using wind spells, it should be above the Purple Collar Mage. Ping Jimu hesitated for a moment before answering, he was really not sure.

"Alright, you go back first. Don't tell anyone about this again. Lord Ministries commanded lightly.

Hirahimimu claimed yes and then withdrew. He thinks that if he tells the owner about it, there will be no risk.

After Ping Jimu left, Lord Ministries called his attendants and ordered, "Go and ask the Huandu picket envoy to come here."

The ring-capital picket envoy is the highest magistrate in charge of the five rings outside the empire's territory, and he is a general, although he is only a no-entry nobleman, but he has violent real power outside the imperial capital, and the imperial capital is more or less high-level and middle-class nobles in front of this, but they don't dare to casually hold up the shelf of the superior. If it weren't for the Ministry of Law being his top boss, how could other ministers want to see this ring-capital picket, how could there be a sentence so easy?

Lord Attorney General seemed unimpressed when he looked at Yoshiki Kamihira, but how could someone who could sit in this position be so careless about anomalies.
