Emperor Xia Wu's eyes were deep, staring at Yao Gaozhuo, and said:

"My Great Xia Dynasty is at the time of employing people, and the Criminal Department, as one of the six departments, cannot be left without one for a day, so let's let the ministers take a stand, how to punish the Criminal Department for not being able to govern well."

"Wechen thinks that part of the resources of the Criminal Department should be allocated to the North Town Fu Division!"

Lan Kaiji, who had not been to the court for many days, looked much better now, and stood up and said in a deep voice.

Emperor Xia Wu did not refute, nor did he agree immediately, with Lan Kaiji taking the lead, the thinking of the ministers was also active, and they communicated left and right.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty,............"

A quarter of the civil officials in the court are Lan Kaiji's protégés, which is why Yao Gaozhuo tried his best to fight for him, Lan Kaiji rarely showed his attitude on something, but this time Yao Gaozhuo violated his bottom line, so Lan Kaiji's attitude was very resolute, which led to a one-sided situation in the court.

Emperor Xia Wu raised his hand and pressed it, the ministers were quiet, and Emperor Xia Wu asked:

"Beizhen Helmsman, if the resources of the Criminal Department are given to you, what do you want?"

The helmsman will tell the plan that he has prepared in his heart

"As the largest judicial organ of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Criminal Department has always been due to the factor of the proportion of ordinary people and cultivators, in order to facilitate the management of the three powers of law enforcement, trial, and punishment, and the prisoners wanted by my Beizhen Fu Division will eventually be taken into custody in the Heavenly Prison under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, so the ministers have the courage to advise Your Majesty, and my Beizhen Fu Division will take charge of the Heavenly Prison and deprive the Criminal Department of the right to punish!"

"Secondly, the concentration of the three powers will inevitably lead to the phenomenon of bending the law for personal gain and complicated judicial procedures, and Wechen suggests that the judicial power of the Criminal Department should also be stripped out and a new organ should be established separately directly under His Majesty!"

Yao Gaozhuo's face changed, and he finally understood something now.

The surge in the number of cultivators has led to the Criminal Department's growing voice in recent years, and its power has also expanded rapidly, mainly due to the trial and punishment in charge of the Criminal Department, which is very convenient for many sects to operate secretly, but now that the helmsman of Beizhen has directly stripped off the two pieces of fat, after this resolution, the Criminal Department may only have a skeleton left.

The words of the helmsman of the key Beizhen were extremely clever, he did not bite himself, but only proposed to take over the heavenly prison, and handed over another piece of fat to His Majesty, which made Yao Gaozhuo powerless to refute at all.

Every decision made by people is not for personal interests, and it is Your Majesty who ultimately benefits, and now it seems that Yao Gaozhuo is on the fire, but if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid that he will fall directly into the fire in two days and be wiped out!

Emperor Xia Wu looked at Yao Gaozhuo, who was dripping in cold sweat, and asked:

"Yao Shangshu has any opinion on this?"

Yao Gaozhuo's smile was dry, "Your Majesty is wise and open-minded, I am grateful that the minister made this big mistake and still reused it, where can I have opinions."

Emperor Xia Wu muttered: "This matter will take time, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, and the Beizhen Fu Division, your three departments will hand over a feasible plan to me as soon as possible, and the handover work will be done, and I will see the speed."

The three of them replied in unison, "Weichen takes orders!" …………

In the southeast of the capital, a luxurious mansion

"Is the Criminal Department down......

A middle-aged man with a thin jaw and narrow eyebrows and eyes, dressed in a unicorn brocade suit, leaned back in a chair with his eyes closed, and muttered to himself after listening to the report of his subordinates.

The four vassal kings and eight dukes of the Great Xia Dynasty were all first-class military generals, and their ancestors had made great achievements.

And the one in front of him is one of the eight lords, Geng Jian's eldest brother, Geng Qiu.

Geng Qiu commanded, "Go and call Geng Jian."

"Yes!"

After a while, Geng Jian walked leisurely and came slowly

"Big brother, what's the matter?"

Geng Qiu's face was expressionless, "The criminal department is leaking, I can't use it, go back and solve them as soon as possible, and pick a few obedient ones."

Geng Jian's expression was stunned, "No, big brother, then Yao Gaozhuo has helped us a lot over the years, besides, people are also old ministers, will it be too eye-catching for us to start at this time."

Geng Qiu didn't

Wavering, "I believe that only dead people can't speak, don't wait for him to splash dirty water on us!"

Geng Jian just mentioned it, but in essence, he didn't take Yao Gaozhuo and the others seriously

"Then I'll pick a few good hands and find an opportunity to do them out, and you can help run the above things, big brother."

"Hmm."

Geng Qiu bowed slightly, "Don't do the business of Juxianglou recently, the strength of Beizhen Fusi is only the tip of the iceberg, don't go head-to-head with them first, and the autumn recruitment is over, and a group of new officials will come in soon to screen people."

"I know."

Geng Jian didn't have the slightest sense of cynicism when facing his eldest brother.

"What about the other dukes?"

Geng Qiu waved his hand, "Don't worry about them, who hasn't had a small business these days? The peace of the Great Xia Dynasty has long been broken along with the time when the heavens and the earth are changing, especially the military generals, who cross the river one by one, and it is difficult to protect themselves, who still has the kung fu to take care of other people's affairs."

Geng Jian responded, "Okay, then I'll do it." …………

After retreating, outside the palace

"Xu Chun, let's go......

Yao Gaozhuo seemed to have aged several years all of a sudden, and even his body was a little stiffer.

Xu Chun was taken aback, "Why did Lord Yao say this?"

Yao Gaozhuo replied: "The Criminal Department is no longer good, staying here will not end well, I can't go, while no one has delved into it, how much can I go."

Xu Chun was puzzled: "Your Majesty didn't punish you today, and the Northern Government Secretary didn't bite you, why are you so pessimistic?"

Yao Gaozhuo shook his head slightly, "It's a matter of time before Your Majesty moves me, but there will definitely be people who can't sit still before Your Majesty."

"You mean ......?"

Yao Gaozhuo stopped Xu Chun from continuing, and smiled,

"Human nature, but one top bag is enough, you're still young, let's go."

Yao Gaozhuo looked at the tall figure embroidered with Bai Ze in front of him with a complicated expression, ignored Xu Chun, and chased after him in two or three steps.

"Northtown Helmsman!"

The helmsman slowed down, "Yao Shangshu?"

Yao Gaozhuo hugged his fists and said, "Beizhen Helmsman is a good method!"

There was a hint of banter in the helmsman's voice, "What did Yao Shangshu say this?"

Yao Shangshu shook his head with a smile, "Using the official department Shangshu as bait, I gambled on the Beizhen Fusi, what a great courage!"

The helmsman smiled faintly, "In the world of great contention, the means naturally can't be too ordinary."

Yao Gaozhuo said calmly: "You have long been eyeing the Criminal Department, no, it should be said that Your Majesty has been eyeing it for a long time, but I don't understand a little, what if you lose the bet?" Expect Your Majesty to wipe your ass?"

The helmsman chuckled, "Who said I was gambling?"

Yao Gaozhuo was stunned for a moment, and the helmsman leaned closer and said:

"There has always been only one outcome for anyone, any force to go against Beizhen Fusi, and the result has been predestined from the beginning, how can it be considered a gamble?"

The helmsman paused for a moment and continued, "Yao Shangshu, you have made two mistakes from the beginning, first, Beizhen Fusi is the sharpest sword in the emperor's hand, and it is the most loyal sword that transcends all political interests."

"Second, you underestimate the strength of the Beizhen Fusi, whether it is the Patrol Security Division or the Inspection Division, before you start thinking that these soldiers in my hands are just a little higher than the arresters of the Criminal Department, but you don't want to think about it, Kyushu is so big, how many sects are so afraid of the Beizhen Fusi?"

The helmsman patted Yao Gaozhuo on the shoulder and walked forward

"You civil officials, when you are peaceful, you are doing tricks under the table, and it's okay to play with the pen, but when you really use your fists to speak, you will be dumbfounded, you can only say that you have been comfortable in this capital for too long, and you don't know what the outside world is like."

Yao Gaozhuo stood in place, and the crowd avoided him, for fear of having something to do with him.

Suddenly, Yao Gaozhuo seemed to have gained and lost

Laughing madly

"I've been working hard for several years, but it's ridiculous and ridiculous, hahahahaha!"

In the early morning of the next day, there was a cry of grief from Yao's mansion, and the old minister, who had held the judicial power of the Great Xia Dynasty for nearly ten years, committed suicide by poisoning himself in his room.

No one knows the process of Yao Gaozhuo's death, and no trace of the second person was found at the scene, so he had to settle the case hastily, after all, no one would waste their energy on an old minister who was already angry.

Settle down, Qin Shanfeng, who was carried back the day before yesterday, is still sleeping in his bed.

His brows furrowed, and in his dream he was fighting fiercely with the farmer, and in the end he tore off the farmer's arm.

I can see it clearly, and my perception is very real, but I can't control my body.

"Qin Shanfeng, am I strong?"

As soon as the picture turned, it was the cold young man again

"Very strong."

Qin Shanfeng replied truthfully.

The young man asked, "Do you want power?" I can give it to you."

Qin Shanfeng hesitated for a while, thinking of the bloody scene just now, and shook his head

"This power is too terrifying and twisted, I don't want it."

"Don't want it?"

The young man sneered, "If it weren't for this power, you would all have died at the hands of the farmer at that time, and now you still say you don't want it?"

Qin Shanfeng became more and more determined, "Don't, what doesn't belong to me, I won't want it."

"Hahahahaha."

The young man seemed to have heard some funny joke, "I'll write it down, but it's okay, I've always been there."

The young man leaned into Qin Shanfeng's ear, "You will need me sooner or later." …………

"Shh~!"

A burst of pain came from his face and brought Qin Shanfeng back to reality from his dream, Qin Shanfeng opened his eyes, and An Zhen's little face was attached to his eyes.

"Still......"

Qin Shanfeng sat up with his head covered, feeling as if his body was no longer his own, and the slightest movement made his body feel unbearable.

"Brother Shanfeng is awake, you've been asleep for two days!"

Qin Shanfeng was startled, came to his senses, and asked, "I'm at home now?"

Ann still nodded, looking well-behaved and cute

"Yes, Uncle Xiuyuan brought it back to you."
