Zhu Tong returned to the criminal department along the Qinhuai River, and the weeping willows on both sides of the river swayed in the wind.

As soon as he entered the yamen of the Criminal Department, Zhu Tong called Wailang, a member of the Criminal Department.

"What do you have to do when Lord Zuo Lang sends an official?" Zhao Yanting, a member of the Criminal Department, asked.

"You come with me!" Zhu Tong took Zhao Yanting into the office hall, and Wei Ze, who was in the Taishi chair, saw that Zhu Tong was back in the criminal department, and looked at Zhu Tong with great excitement.

"Why did Master Zhu leave so suddenly? Is there something important? ”

"If Lord Zhu has any difficulties, he will say to the old man in time, don't carry it yourself!" Wei Ze scoffed.

Zhu Tong glared at him fiercely and spit out two words: "No!" "Back to my bookcase.

"Lord Zhao, transfer all the files involved in this case to this official, and this official will personally investigate." Saying that, Zhu Tong handed the case file in his hand to Zhao Yanting.

"I understand, let's go and read the file!" Zhao Yanting said.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yanting hurriedly left the office hall and went to investigate the case.

Zhang Maozhi looked out at Wei Ze, leaned into Zhu Tong's ear and whispered: "Lord Zhu, the lower official reminds you not to meddle in this case, otherwise you will get burned." ”

"Lord Zhang said what kind of fire will I provoke and what kind of body will I burn?" Zhu Tong said.

Zhang Maozhi was stunned for a moment, smiled and said, "Hahaha! Lord Zhu won't talk about it, presumably the adults also know the key points! ”

After that, Zhang Maozhi looked at Wei Ze, and when he saw that Wei Ze didn't look inside, he continued to be busy sorting out the paperwork in his hand.

After a while, Zhao Yanting hurriedly returned to the office hall and reported the situation to Zhu Tong.

"My lord, the lower official sent someone to check the atlas library, and there is no dossier information that the adults need." Zhao Yanting replied with a face full of disappointment.

Zhu Tong paused, how could this happen, in the past, when he checked the file, he would find very detailed information, but this time there was no such volume?

No, there is no information about the people involved, and the investigation will be very complicated.

It may even be that you know the murderer but have no evidence to arrest him.

After thinking about it, he didn't know what to do, so he came to Wei Ze to ask about accessing the file.

"Master Wei, you have been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, what other place does our Criminal Department have to store archives besides the atlas library in the yamen?" Zhu Tong asked Wei Ze.

"Yo! Our Zuo Shilang also has times when he doesn't understand? The old man still thinks that you are a know-it-all talent? ”

"What's the problem?" Wei Ze said in a strange manner.

Zhu Tong looked at Wei Ze's expression, and the anger in his heart gradually rose, but he had to suppress it for the sake of his father-in-law's grievances.

He smiled reluctantly and said, "Lord Wei is serious, the juniors just don't dare to disturb Your Excellency on weekdays, what is omniscient!" ”

"I'm also bothering Lord Wei to guide me and help the younger generation!" Zhu Tong lowered his posture and asked.

"I don't know!" Wei Ze said.

"Lord Wei, you...."Zhu Tong was toyed with by Wei Ze like this, and the anger in his heart suddenly burned, and he stared straight at Wei Ze.

"What do you see, you Zhu Tong is in charge of this case, why should the old man cooperate with you?"

"You have done the best, but you can't do it with your own law!" After that, Wei Ze threw the "Youyang Miscellaneous" in his hand onto the bookcase.

"Lord Shangshu, that's a living human life! How can you be so contemptuous! Zhu Tong had already asked completely about the others.

Wei Ze smiled and said, "Lord Zhu is saying that I am ruthless and careless of human life?" You don't want to spew blood! ”

Seeing that Zhu Tong and Wei Ze, the two main officials of the Criminal Department, had an argument, the rest of the people gathered around to watch.

Some officials with bright eyes stepped forward to comfort Wei Ze and said, "Lord Wei doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as juniors, juniors are not sensible, don't worry." ”

"My lord, you better go back first, this case won't be solved for a while." Zhao Yanting pulled Zhu Tong out and persuaded him.

Zhu Tong had no choice but to leave the criminal department first and return home.

Xu Yi saw Zhu Tong's melancholy face, so he stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, is there anything worrying about the officialdom recently!" ”

Zhu Tong shook his head and didn't answer, he always kept anything in his heart and didn't want to talk to anyone.

In fact, it is also a habit that was formed when I was young.

At this time, a eunuch came in from outside the door, and Xu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to receive him.

It turned out that Queen Ma hadn't seen Zhu Tong for a long time, so she sent someone to take Zhu Tong into the palace.

......

Qianning Palace.

"What have we been busy with lately, are you still adapting to it in the Criminal Department?" Queen Ma asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have time to inquire about his son's situation recently, so he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he had to say: "My son will come in a while, can you ask yourself!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Tong followed the eunuch into the main hall.

"Come here, kid, let's take a good look!" Queen Ma said kindly.

Zhu Tong sat beside Queen Ma and dealt with Queen Ma absentmindedly.

"Child, do you have something on your mind? Why are you so unhappy? ”

"Tell us what happened?" Queen Ma looked at her son and asked.

Zhu Tong hesitated for a while, and finally told Queen Ma about the problems he encountered.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, the minister recently encountered a more difficult case, involving a powerful person, and when the minister transferred the file, there was not a single relevant file."

"The resistance to handling the case is too great, and the minister wants to avenge the old man but doesn't know what to do." Zhu Tong said.

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side was furious when he heard this: "How can there be such a thing? ”

"I saw that we were so good at taking them on weekdays, and we actually raised a group of brutes who caused trouble to the people."

Zhu Tong was frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction, and it seemed that he had a chance to get Zhu Yuanzhang's support this time.

If His Majesty had the support, then the case would be much easier to handle, and there would be no need to fear the so-called magnates.

In this way, the grievances of the father-in-law can also be treated fairly, and their family does not have to live a frightened life every day.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Don't worry, child, let's support you in handling this case, you just have to rest assured and boldly go to avenge the old man." ”

"What we hate the most in this life are those dog officials who bully people, who are officials who do not make decisions for the people, and specialize in doing this kind of careless and lifeless work."

"It's really better than a pig and a dog!"

Queen Ma patted Zhu Tong on the shoulder and said, "Child, do whatever you want to do, do it boldly, besides, you are also in an important position now." ”

"We should think more about the people, we are also from the people, and no one knows the difficulties of the people's lives better than us."

"We can't do without the people in this world, child, you can have this heart, we will be happy for you."

The words of Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang greatly encouraged Zhu Tong, he didn't expect Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang to always support him.

Then he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Xie!" The minister should handle the case properly. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Tong and was very satisfied, sure enough, it was our Zhu Yuanzhang's son, who avenged the people and handled cases that others did not dare to handle.

We have to support him well, and then said: "Second Tiger! ”

A Jinyi guard wearing a flying fish suit stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang for a moment, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Second Tiger, from now on, Jinyi Wei obeys Zhu Tong's command!" ”
