Today, Chen Letian originally wanted to send his brothers off, but when he went to see Captain Lu last night, he was rejected by Captain Lu.

Captain Lu said to him, there is no need to send it, it will be back soon, I hope we can at least kill the bandits in Shu, at least let them pee their pants when they mention our Northern Army within three years. As for the heads of the gang leaders, 300 or more is the minimum standard I set for my brothers, and if I can get 500 levels, I will invite them to drink.

Chen Letian said that if the head is three hundred, it is equivalent to destroying one or two hundred villages, will the brothers work too hard like this, such a heavy task in such a short time is a bit excessive.

Captain Lu said, what is too much? The rabble is so difficult to take down, so there is no need to say more, all of our forward battalions will commit suicide. You just do what you should do at home, and we'll see you in half a month."

So Chen Letian really didn't come to deliver it that morning, but just stood on the roof of his house and watched from afar the brothers who walked out of the city gate in the morning light in a low-key manner. Seeing the brothers walking in neat steps, even the ups and downs of their bodies when they walked, Chen Letian really wanted to put on his armor and go with his brothers.

He watched his brothers disappear from sight, and then silently came to the courtyard where the brothers lived, to the place where the horses were tied. The battle on the mountain is not suitable for horses.

Chen Letian came to the herd, touched the horse and rubbed the horse, and sometimes when he met a horse he knew, the horse would snort and rub against him. Chen Letian smelled this familiar but hadn't smelled it for a long time, and couldn't help but feel very happy.

Seeing Xiaohu's horse, he walked over, touched the mane on its neck and said: "Wonton, I haven't seen you for a long time, you seem to be more calm, don't you miss me? You kid I know you don't miss me at all, you just think about those bandits in the desert mare, what a forgetful guy, now it's okay, this bustling Chengdu city is not like us outside the camp of the Northern Army, and this is locked up in the courtyard, you can't see the mare, haha." ”

The horse called Wonton snorted, and he didn't know if he understood Chen Letian's words, so he gently bit the corner of Chen Letian's clothes, probably to show his favor. Chen Letian hurriedly took his mouth away lightly and said, "This is Lao Tzu's official uniform, Lao Tzu's first official uniform when he is so big, but it is majestic, don't bite it for me." ”

After wandering around in the herd for about half an hour, Chen Letian finally reluctantly returned to the front office and had a morning meeting with Lord Yushi.

Chen Letian stipulated that starting from today, the Prime Minister's Yamen should hold a morning meeting every morning, so that all the imperial historians can report to him, the prime minister, in a timely manner when they encounter problems during the interrogation in the past few days.

Today is the first time this regular meeting has been held. Chen Letian said: "You can say if you have problems, I think we must communicate more, especially in the past few days, we are not easy, and most of the officials who are not good people prevaricate, each may encounter more than one or two problems, say it together, let's refer to it together and find a way to solve it." ”

And so the crowd spoke. As old fritters who have been polished in the officialdom for many years, the imperial historians are a problem for them, then it is really a problem, and the general problem is not a problem at all for them.

There are three main problems. First, these officials on the first and second floors may have thought of a response on the way to the Prime Minister's Yamen, that is, no matter whether any of these people really did bad things or were wronged, most of these people can say one, two, or three anyway. said that he didn't actually do anything hurtful, even if there were some small violations, it was done within an understandable range, and he didn't do too much. This is one of them.

The second is that these people said that they would call the accusers to confront them face to face, saying that I was guilty just based on three words from the villagers, and to be honest, I was not convinced, which is also not in line with our Great Song law. Our Great Song Dynasty law pays attention to whether it is killing or exile, it must be convincing, and if we want to be convinced, we must follow the rules and procedures.

The third is that they said that they wanted to see Lord Chen, and strongly asked to see you, Lord Chen, and said that there were many confidential things to tell Lord Chen directly.

The first and second of these three are normal, and the third is barely normal. After all, they are just one more excuse.

Chen Letian listened to everyone's speeches, nodded and said: "The first two are actually not a problem, as long as I solve the third problem, I can solve the first two." Ladies and gentlemen, I'm going to say something wrong again. You should be tough and tough when you communicate with them, don't worry too much, you must know that they are all suspects now, I have His Majesty's decree, I can kill them as long as the people are happy. Don't let them lead you by the nose. Regardless of whether they are really guilty or falsely guilty, after screening, I think there is probably not a tenth of them who are innocent. Adults, what else do you have to communicate with them? But whoever pretends to be a ghost with you and talks about him left and right, he will be slapped a few big mouths to see if he dares to pretend to be innocent?

When this last sentence came out, the adults of Yushi were stunned, and Zhang Yushi immediately arched his hand and said: "Lord Chen's words are not right, we are not those cool officials, how can this be, even if they are guilty, the imperial court does not advocate torture to extract confessions, not to mention that they have not been convicted yet." ”

"Master Zhang is right. Chen Letian gave Zhang Yushi a thumbs up, then looked at the others and said: "This official beat up the Zheng master book on the first day, if it wasn't for Da Ming pulling me, I might have beaten him to death, but the effect was not bad, and the next day, Zheng Zhushu gave me the confession written overnight." Hey, do you think it's magical?"

Zhang Yushi frowned, opened his mouth and finally shut up. What else could he say, he had long known that this Lord Chen, who was born in the military, was definitely not a person who did things according to common sense, otherwise it would be impossible to do this prime minister's imperial history now and take charge of the overall situation of the anger of the people in Shu. He also knew that what Chen Letian said was not entirely wrong, but as the head of these imperial histories, he couldn't follow Chen Letian and say, yes, that's right, he will fight, and if he doesn't beat them, he won't reveal his true feelings. This is not in line with the original intention of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the style of work that should be upheld. So he had to question it, but when Chen Letian was almost directly refuting him, he chose to remain silent. This not only acquiesces in Chen Letian's approach, but also lets his colleagues know that Lord Chen can do this, but you can't.

The people present were all smart people, and everyone knew the intention of Zhang Yushi's move.
