Chapter 53: Breaking the Mouth
"The new emperor ascends the throne and reuses new people. Xue Pang, who was admitted to the department in the fifth year of Tiande, was promoted to the squire of the Criminal Department in just two years. And the other Feng Shilang is also newly promoted. The two squires were very young, and they were racing with each other. The two of them are energetic, and the unlucky ones are these subordinates. ”
Su Bottle walked out of the compound of the Criminal Department with Mei Ran, and led the old mule that had lost its hair:
However, at this time, they also need the good performance of their subordinates to show their ability and efficiency. Therefore, when we handle a case, we have to be ruthless. The harder we attacked, the happier the squire. If what we do can be known and recognized by the emperor, then he will be happier, because he has a good leadership. ”
It stands to reason that unless ordered by the emperor, Lord Shilang usually does not personally grasp specific cases. For example, those old-fashioned waiters, they all put forward some guidance for a certain type of case, and let the people below handle it specifically.
But these two squires are different from those old-school squires. What they did was to almost empty the power of Jingzhao Mansion to supervise and try criminal cases.
It is said that the officials attached to Guo Yamen are not easy to be officers, and the superiors often skip the level of management. With benefits, it is superior; Things are messed up, and you have to go down to the bottom.
Not only the Criminal Department, but also other ministries and temples, often crossing the Jingzhao Mansion to do things.
To say that Jing Zhaoyin's rank is not lower than that of the six servants, but the problem is that Jing Zhaoyin can't do everything by himself. And the group of people under him is much weaker than the sixth. It's really balanced by six ministries everywhere.
The new emperor ascended the throne, and a large group of six new officials were eager to perform. If it is said that a new official has three fires, then now there are fires everywhere in several counties of Gyeonggi, and Jingzhao Mansion is simply overthrown by these guys.
Especially the two attached Guo counties in Luoyang City are the hardest hit places. Because there is a large population in Luoyang City, there are many things, and they are under the emperor's nose.
Deputy squad leader Su was promoted to the sword officer of the Nine Grades Criminal Department. Although the Jiupin Sword Priest is nothing remarkable, what he holds in his hand is the handwritten document of Lord Shilang. According to Lord Shilang, the document is as if the Shilang is there in person, and officials at all levels cooperate with the investigation.
Su Bottle held the document in his hand and slapped it on the desk of Yongkang County's order Ximenkan, staring at Ximenkan.
Ximen Kan had a calm old face, looked at Su Bottle, and smiled awkwardly: "Master Su, I think you should please raise your noble hand." I have already met the fourth son, and I went with the fourth prince to meet the fourth master (Jingzhao Yin Tang Jiong). The fourth master said that this case has passed for a long time, and there is no need to overturn the case, so there is no need to bother. ”
Su Bottle smiled: "A few days ago, you pressed me with the fourth master, and found that you couldn't hold it down, so you started looking for the fourth master to press me again?" ”
"No, no, no, you can't say that. Uh..., then, let's go inside and talk. ”
What else can you say when you go inside and talk? It's nothing more than pulling favors, talking small words, and stuffing silver. Su looked at the money bag and estimated that there were one hundred taels. Su Bottle scoffed. Ximen Kan hurriedly grabbed out five more gold bars and was held down by Su Bottle.
"Lord Squire has asked me to do it quickly, I don't have time to talk to you. Now I only give you two options, either take the initiative to surrender and take responsibility, or cooperate with me to do this matter beautifully. ”
"Please Lord Su to point out a clear path, how can we do it beautifully?"
"Coming to this point, it's not about the case itself. Who pressed this case in the first place? And who excessed pressure a few days ago? These people have to find out in order for this case to be resolved satisfactorily. ”
"Huang Bingxuan has fallen, it's nothing to pull him out, but ......" Ximen Kan frowned: "Wu joins the army is the uncle of the Meng family......"
"What's wrong with Aunt Meng?" Su Bottle stared at Ximen Kan: "You are still the young master of the Ximen clan." Now at this juncture, don't mention people to me. If you don't get him out, then I'll have to look for you. It's up to you to do it yourself. ”
Ximen Kan smiled bitterly: "Even if I pull him out, won't I be able to get rid of responsibility?" ”
Su Bottle said: "Then I don't care, now you have to choose: you fight this matter yourself, or find someone to help you fight together." As for me, at most, I will help you intercede in front of Lord Squire. On the dossier, tell me about your difficulties. Perhaps, I can also say that you have kept the evidence for many years, just waiting for the case to be overturned. ”
Simon grinned and looked embarrassed.
Su Bottle stood up and was about to leave, but was pulled by Ximen Kan: "Master Su, don't worry, let's talk again." ”
Su Bottle sat down again, Ximen Kan stuffed the silver and gold bars into Su Bottle's pocket, and said with a bitter face: "Please Lord Su give us a thorough understanding, this newly appointed Xue Shilang, do you want to eat this?" How much can you eat? ”
The "this" in his mouth refers to silver.
Xue Pang is greedy or not, in fact, Su Bei doesn't know. Not to mention Su Bottle, even the outsider doesn't know.
Xue Pang had just taken up the post of a waiter in the Criminal Department, and before that he was only a criminal case instructor in Guozi Prison. There is no real power, and no one bribes him.
Su Bottle put Ximenkan's silver and gold bars back on the coffee table: "I don't know if he eats it or not." But I dare not eat your money now. I'll give you a day to explore the way. ”
It is estimated that Ximen Kan will take Wu to find Xue Pang with the army, and whether Xue Pang eats them or not depends on Xue Pang's attitude tomorrow.
It is worth mentioning that before Su Bottle left the county office, Ximen Kan still stuffed the one hundred taels of silver to Su Bottle. He said that no matter how this matter goes, he must also make friends with Master Su.
Leaving Yongkang County, Su Ping took Mei Ran to Pingkangfang, intending to ask about the situation on the Red Flower Society. In fact, the people of the Red Flower Society were also looking for Mei Ran everywhere, because they found that Qi Yu had entered another batch of "goods". More than 20 children were transported into Luoyang City by dung trucks.
Due to the crowding, when the children were dragged out of the dung truck, some of them were already suffocated and unconscious. I don't know if any of them are dead.
"They've started to send people to the restaurant, and if they don't do it, it'll be too late!" Night Frost said anxiously.
Su Bottle immediately decided: "Do it!" ”
……
In front of the Anguo Mansion, gongs and drums are noisy, and dragon and lion dances are danced.
In other words, on this day of national mourning, who dares to beat gongs and drums? That's right, it was the emperor who let it.
Zhang Dali, the eunuch of the Inner Serving Province, and Li Quanfu, the celebrant of ceremonies, came to the Anguo Mansion again to convey the will of His Majesty the Emperor: Tang Mei, the sixth lady of the Anguo Mansion, was promoted to the second-grade Dacheng County Lord.
At that time, Tang Mei was still looking at the account book in the superintendent's house, heard the news, was pleasantly surprised, put down the account book, trotted home, ran faster and faster, and ran happily.
Mama Wang, Zhen Ping'er, and Wang Jin'er followed.
To say that Miss Six doesn't have much strength in her hands, but she has a lot of kung fu in her legs, and she runs fast. Wearing a red robe, she ran back to Qinxiang Xiaozhu with a red line, waiting for the eunuch to announce the decree and the family to congratulate her.
"Miss, I want to prepare some gifts for the two fathers-in-law." Mama Wang reminded.
"How much is the right amount?" Tang Mei asked.
"What's the matter, I have to get ten taels of silver, after all, they are all purple-robed eunuchs, and if you take less, you will be cold."
At this time, Tang Kuan was receiving the two great eunuchs, and he could not announce the decree until the Tang family was ready.
The first people to come to Qinxiang Xiaozhu to congratulate were naturally the two side concubines, the Lin family and the Kong family. Not long after, nearly 100 people, including the old lady, the old lady, the aunt, the aunt, the young lady, the young lady, and the young lady, came to the door of the sixth lady's house.
When Mrs. Cao came, she brought all the ladies into the Qinxiang Xiaozhu and stuffed it into the water.
The men gathered outside the courtyard gate, giggling and laughing.
In other words, not far away is the mourning hall of Princess Fan, and everyone is gone, and it seems that the mourning hall is deserted.
When Su Bei and a group of people arrested Qi Yu, and then sent the prisoner to the yamen of the Criminal Department, and then handed him over to Jingzhao Mansion, it was already dark. Su Bottle took the paperwork and arranged the twenty-three beautiful little girls to the Mansion of the Criminal Department, and watched them eat before Su Bottle left.
Those little girls were abducted or robbed by the Huainan criminal gang and transported to Luoyang for sale through various channels.
Su Bottle cracked such a big case, and was praised by Xue Shilang, in Mei Ran's words, it was simply "a big boast", shouting at the top of his voice, as if he wanted to let the entire criminal department hear it.
It is said that the secretary of the criminal department already knew about this matter and asked about it. And the document in Su Bottle's hand was personally signed by Master Shangshu, asking Haosheng to take care of these 23 abducted girls or girls.
Not to mention, the group of people in the Huainan Crime Group have a really good eye, and these twenty-three little girls are beautiful one by one. And the playful energy of the Huainan girl's speech is very attractive. Su Bottle rubbed his head one by one, and then reluctantly left.
However, this case has been taken over by Lord Shilang himself, and he has ordered Jingzhao Mansion and Huainan Prefecture to try it quickly, so the following matter has little to do with Su Bottle. He just needs to prepare some materials.
Su Bottle returned to the Guogong Mansion and was about to go to the fourth prince to talk about it, but saw that the Guogong Mansion was very lively.
Zhu Tao and Feng Die, the two little maids, ran over, pulled their uncle's sleeves, and asked him to hurry back to Qinxiang Xiaozhu. Because the sixth lady was promoted to the county lord, then the uncle was also promoted to the county horse, and he was attached to the knight from the second rank. The eunuch, the chief of the Inner Servant Province, waited to see the county horse, and also issued a waist card.
Su Weiyi frowned.
If you get the county horse waist card today, Miss Six will wave her hand another day, and then give the county horse a break......
Isn't this the higher you climb, the more painful it hurts to fall?
But at this time, Su Bottle couldn't say anything, so he was welcomed into the house by a group of people. Among them, there are Lin Tong and Zhang Hu, these two guys talked and laughed, pushed and shoved, and "sent" the Su bottle in.
Seeing Su Bei, the eunuch of the Inner Chamberlain Province had to personally check the household registration and confirm his identity.
"Huh? Why is it still Wuwei household registration, and there is a lack of "marriage answer letter" and "marriage certificate"? ”
While speaking, Zhang Dali, the eunuch of the Inner Servant Province, and Li Quanfu, the celebrant of the Inner Chamber, glanced at each other.
Listening to the eunuch's words, Mrs. Cao said: "Since my aunt came to the door, I have been busy, in fact, the wedding has already been held, but this procedure has not been done." ”
Zhang Dali shook his head and said, "We must be cautious when we are ordered to do things. In the face of things that do not conform to the rules, we dare not make the decision, and we need to return to the emperor. ”
