The autumn wind is like a knife, blowing the trees rustling, at the end of the long street, close to the sparkling Qiantang River, a square building towers, it is the autumn breeze, but the pedestrians along the way do not dare to stay here, just feel the cold, hang their heads and walk quickly.

It is said that there are often prisoners wailing, so most of the people in Qiantang are quite taboo here, not to mention that in front of the gate of the Criminal Division, two stone lions with fangs are looking at the long street, and seven or eight soap officials are carrying bears, holding spears and knives, vigilantly looking at every suspicious person in front of the street.

This is the Criminal Division, which is the highest criminal organ in Liangzhelu Road, which is in charge of the prison of the county and county of Ben Lu, verifies the cases of each county, supervises and exterminates thieves, redresses grievances, and has the power to supervise the officials of the department every year, ensure the integrity of the office, and impeach the law. On the Liangzhejiang Road, to the officials and down to the grass people, as long as they violate the law, they can be questioned by the criminal department.

After a few ritual doors, it is a main hall, the main hall is the same as most of the yamen, the door face is quite mottled, the official does not repair the yamen, this term is repaired, it will only be cheaper to take office, this is the rule since ancient times, not until the last resort, no one will make a wedding dress for the successor, in the hall, on both sides is a row of temple pillars, the hall is dim, the head can not penetrate through, only a few lights are flickering, only to finally illuminate some.

In the darkness, two people in crimson uniforms sat side by side, and Coco Li sat on the left, resting the back of his head on the back chair, closing his eyes and recuperating. On the right is Jin Shaowen, Jin Shaowen's face is blue, his face is uncertain, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

As for the day blue, he stood upright, and he didn't even dare to breathe too much, just two adults asked him to sit, he would rather stand, this is his philosophy of life, what is the use of hard bones, climbing up is the right reason, God is pitiful, he finally got into the Jinshi, the age is not small, compared to Cheng Hui, Shen Ao can still fall and crawl again, this official must be done, to be an official, you have to learn to be a man, so he first went to find Cai Jing, claiming to be a protégé, but Cai Jing ignored it, what is a new science and technology jinshi in front of the Taishi?

He was bitter in his heart, if he couldn't find a backer, and when the ministry drew up the charter, he would probably enter the court, and at most he would be a noble bachelor, so he set his eyes on Cai Lun again, and tried hard to stammer, but he recognized Cai Lun as his godfather.

If it was in the past, where would Cai Lun pay attention to him, but after weighing the identity of Dayqing, the Jinshi and the first, and remembering that Shen Ao was also the Jinshi and the first, he had an idea and recognized this son stiffly.

With this layer of involvement, Cai Lun began to run for Dayqing, and finally let Dayqing see Cai Jing again, this time Dayqing was even more cautious, flattering, kowtowing, and flattering, and finally let Cai Jing give him a hand.

Before coming to Hangzhou, Cai Lun had already instructed him to make Shen Ao look good, and if he had the opportunity, he could strike hard, no matter what happened, he Cai Lun would carry it.

Now, here's your chance!

There was silence in the yatang, and the three of them didn't speak with their hearts, Jin Shaowen suddenly grabbed the tea cup on the side of the desk and took a sip, and asked abruptly: "What time is it?" ”

"My lord, it's a little bit of time!"

Jin Shaowen slowly put down the teacup and said slowly: "Haven't people arrived yet?" Then ask someone to urge it. ”

Coco Li, who was close his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "No need, the people who should come will naturally come, if he doesn't come, Lord Jin will salute first and then soldier, so there is no need to be polite to him." ”

Jin Shaowen glanced at Coco Li sideways, he was still obedient to Coco Li, originally swaying left and right between Coco Li and Jiang Bing, playing haha; It's just that Shen Ao's arrival made Jin Shaowen unable to sway anymore.

Shen Ao's details have already been explored, he is the sworn enemy of the Taishi, as a protégé, relying on the Taishi's power, Jin Shaowen, how can he let go of this opportunity to show his merits? No matter who it is, as long as Shen Ao steps into the threshold of the Criminal Division, Jin Shaowen will not let Shen Ao go out no matter what.

With Coco Li's support, Jin Shaowen is a little more courageous, what about Jiang Bing's interference, Master Li is the chief official of the Liangzhejiang Road, and he is in charge of the Criminal Division, and he happens to ask about this matter, Jiang Bing is a transfer envoy, no matter how big the transfer envoy is, can he still interfere in the affairs of the Criminal Division?

If you make up your mind, you don't have to bother with many things, no matter how much you think about it, it's useless to have this energy, and you can use it to deal with Shen Ao.

Jin Shaowen's words just now just showed his attitude, this appeasement made him silent for too long, and he felt uncomfortable.

Jin Shaowen pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "My lord is right, salute first and then soldier, if he doesn't come, he will be afraid of crime, maybe those assassins are not necessarily invited by Lieutenant Shen." ”

Coco Li smiled and remained silent.

After waiting for another half an hour, someone belatedly announced: "The transfer envoy and the county lieutenant Shen have arrived." ”

Coco Li stood up and said, "Lord Jiang is here too?" Good, great. He smiled, like a spring breeze to the foyer, Jin Shaowen, Dayqing hurriedly followed, just out of the foyer, then saw two figures slowly walking over, Li Cohen smiled over, heartily said: "Lord Jiang came from afar, there is a loss of welcome, haha......" Then looked at Jin Shaowen, said with a smile: "Lord Jin, you see Lord Jiang personally came to the Criminal Division, you are shining in the Criminal Division." ”

Jin Shaowen smiled and said: "Exactly, exactly, come, serve tea to Master Jiang." ”

He never mentioned serving tea to Lieutenant Shen, and his attitude was already very clear.

Jiang Bing laughed and said, "It turns out that all the adults are here. ”

Although he knew that there would be a bloody storm, Shen Ao still bowed to Coco Li and Jin Shaowen with a smile and said, "Xiaguan has seen two adults, hey, it turns out that Dayxian Cheng is also there?" It's a coincidence. ”

Sun Qing snorted coldly, glanced at Shen Ao with a smile, and didn't look over. Now that you have torn your face, what are you polite about!

Jin Shaowen ignored Shen Ao for a while, and said to Jiang Bing: "Lord Jiang, it's very windy outside, please come in and sit down." ”

The group of people humbly and I entered the main hall one after another, Jin Shaowen is the master of the Criminal Division, this time he sat on the top without concession, and Coco Li was polite in his mouth, but his hands and feet were not slow, and he sat on the left side. The official respects the left, so in the past official positions, the left prime minister is the main position, and the right minister is the deputy position.

Jiang Bing didn't care, and sat down on the right seat with a smile.

Shen Ao and Sun Qing stood in the hall, after all, Shen Ao was an official, so he could not be judged, he could only interrogate, there were many ways to interrogate, Jin Shaowen gave Sun Qing a look, he didn't open his mouth first, and let Sun Qing be the pioneer.

Dayqing nodded slightly at Jin Shaowen, already understanding, and glared at Shen Ao angrily: "County Lieutenant Shen, I want to ask you, how did those two assassins get on the ship?" As far as I know, the Granite ship at that time was going down the river at a very fast speed, and it did not stop along the way, so it was impossible for the Assassins to board the ship halfway, so the only possibility was that they boarded the ship from the Bianjing pier, right? ”

Shen Ao smiled: "This is strange, how did the assassin board the ship, and you came to ask me what to do?" ”

Riqing sneered, clenched his fists and said: "Hmph, at that time, the granite boat was supposed to send you to Hangzhou, and whoever was allowed to board the ship was also arranged by you, so I have long suspected that the assassin was originally arranged and instructed by you, Shen County Lieutenant, Shen County Lieutenant, you and I will take the test together, you are a county lieutenant, I am a county magistrate, you are jealous of me in your heart, so you deliberately hired someone to commit murder, right?" ”

His sentence was extremely punishing, and he used to question Shen Ao and hurt him, but now he changed his style of speech and directly planted him. If it was just Shen Ao who harmed himself in order to save his life, at most it would be a petty crime of misconduct and vain reading the books of sages, but if he hired a murderer to kill someone, he killed an official of the imperial court, and the meaning was completely different, this was to put Shen Ao to death.

Shen Ao's eyes flashed, but he didn't expect Dayqing to play this kind of trick, and then laughed and clapped his hands and said: "The story of Dayxian Cheng is very well written, when will Dayxian Cheng stop being an official, you can go to Daya Mountain House to be an editor, and the best writer of the year is none other than Dayxian Cheng." ”

Jin Shaowen sneered and said, "Presumptuous! Lieutenant Shen, whatever Dayqing asks you, you will answer, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense. ”

Shen Ao glanced at Jin Shaowen with disdain: "What are you talking about, my lord, he is obviously a bloody mouth, do you want me to be solemn?" Did I say that the adult's concubine stole someone, and the adult could only answer yes or no? I'm jealous of him? Shen Ao laughed: "Just because he deserves it?" In Bianjing City, only Shen Xianggong is known, who knows a day county Cheng? Everyone in the world knows a Bachelor Shen, and Dayxian Cheng is just a dog of the Cai family, and this kind of joke is better not to joke about Dayxian Cheng and Lord Jin. ”

"You...... You...... What a guts! Jin Shaowen's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness: "You dare to insult Lord Ben?" Do you know what the crime of insulting a superior official is? ”

A recorded priest on the side said cautiously: "Returning to my lordship, insulting the official is a crime of disrespect and can be impeached." ”

Jin Shaowen sneered and said, "Add this article, and then settle accounts with him at that time." ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Wait! Lord Jin, where did the lower officials insult you? ”

Jin Shaowen wanted to say it, but he felt that it was difficult to speak, but Coco Li, who was watching coldly from the sidelines, said slowly: "Shen County Lieutenant just said that Lord Jin's concubine stole someone, if there is no evidence in this matter, it makes sense to insult Shangguan." ”

Shen Ao smiled and said: "Lord Li is right, Lord Jin is right, the lower official just said that Lord Jin's concubine may have stolen someone, even if it is not now, it may not be necessary in the future, is it not necessary, is this also a slander?" ”

Jin Shaowen stood up and glared at Shen Ao: "What a flamboyant guy, if you talk nonsense again, I will rip off your official uniform on the spot, see if you dare to be hard-mouthed!" ”

Shen Ao said: "The lower official doesn't dare to say it anymore, but the lower official has a question, since the lower official guessed the adult's concubine with no warrants, the adult said that the lower official was insulting the upper official." So I dare to ask, Fang Cai Riqing said that the lower officials hired murderers on trumped-up charges, is this considered an insult to the scholars and an insult to the court officials? My lord, I will now sue Daygreen! ”
