At this time, it was the early dynasty, and the Shangshu and the squire of the criminal department were all above the court.

But yesterday's holy decree had been transmitted, and although he didn't know when Xie Yangui would come to the Criminal Department, Wan Shangshu still made arrangements.

It's also a shame that Xie Yangui came to the Criminal Department today, so that some people didn't lose their temper.

didn't care about the attitude of others, and after casually finding someone to ask, Xie Yangui went straight to the prison hall.

According to what Zhou Jin said yesterday, in addition to Xie Yangui, the new chief, there should be about 20 people in the prison hall for her tribe.

There was no one in charge before, so everyone here was temporarily assigned by the Criminal Department, and even so, they would not all be sent out.

Xie Yangui wasn't sure how many people she would see today, and when she entered the hall, there were only two of them.

"Are you ......" The middle-aged official with a beard was not tall, and he spoke with a slight accent, so it was not easy to tell where it was, he looked at Xie Yangui, and his expression was a little hesitant.

"It's General Xie, right?" Another official was very young, and he had just reached the crown, and his accent was from Kyoto, "Wan Feng, who is a lowly officer, has the position of a prison, and has seen an adult." ”

Ten thousand?

Xie Yangui raised her eyebrows, she clearly remembered that the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was surnamed Wan, and it seemed that this young man named Wan Feng should have something to do with him.

"It turned out to be General Xie, the humble position of Zhang Wei, the position of Ren Langzhong, and I have seen adults."

"The two of you are polite, no need to be formal." Raising his hand, Xie Yangui's gaze circled around the hall, making sure that it was only the two of them.

"Although I know that the general has taken over, I don't know when the general will come, so now there are only lowly posts and Zhang Langzhong, and the rest of the colleagues are either sent out to Beijing, or have other things to do, not to neglect adults."

Noticing Xie Yangui's gaze, Wan Feng opened his mouth to explain, and Zhang Wei nodded, looking like Wan Feng was the main one.

But in fact, in the prison hall, Zhang Wei's position as Lang Zhong is one grade higher than Wan Feng's prison, and the two are in charge of different things.

According to Zhou Jin's explanation yesterday, the highest official position in the prison hall is Xie Yangui, the director.

Under her are two Langzhong, outside of Langzhong, there are six prisoners, two undertakers, two doctors, and no fixed number of people.

Among them, Lang Zhong and Wai Lang are not only responsible for the internal affairs of the prison hall, because the prison hall belongs to the internal organization of the criminal department, so most of Lang Zhong and Wai Lang are selected from the rest of the divisions.

They are mainly responsible for the autumn trial and the court trial, issuing opinions, submitting them to the court for approval, compiling them into a book, and distributing them to other places for review.

The prison department, as well as the undertaker and doctors, are mainly responsible for inspecting the criminals in the north and south prisons of the Criminal Department, as well as receiving and distributing them.

"I'm not that kind of a rule-minded person, so I don't have to come to greet them all." Xie Yangui nodded, and casually picked a chair and sat down.

After Wan Feng's mention, Xie Yangui thought that although it was August, by October, he would have to distribute the necessary materials to the north and south.

Now is the time for the inventory, and when all the inventory is completed, it needs to be reviewed and collected, which is not an easy errand.

Before she came, she already had some bottom in her heart.

However, there is not a single outsider left, which is a bit unexpected.

"Are there a lot of cases to be tried lately?" She looked at Zhang Wei and asked.

"My lord, forgive me, we are ...... Lang Zhong and Wai Lang in the prison hall" Zhang Wei opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain, but saw Xie Yangui raising his hand at him.

"I know that although Lang Zhong and Wai Lang are from the prison hall, they are also under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department, so there is no need to explain."

"I came today, and there is nothing important, just come and take a look, familiarize yourself, you just respond to my questions."

"Yes, if you go back to your lordship, there are no cases that we are responsible for in the prison hall recently." In other words, those who are not there are busy with the affairs of the criminal department.

Xie Yangui nodded again.

"What should I do if I want to know more about the inside of the prison hall?" Zhou Jin had already taught her, but she still wanted to ask the two for their opinions.

"If the general wants to know about the prison hall, the best way is to check the past documents, so that when the official documents are sent to the general, he will better know whether it is reasonable."

Wan Feng responded like this, Xie Yangui looked at him a few times, and nodded, "Then bother the two of you to help me sort it out, and when do you think I should start, so I picked out the documents at that time and handed them to me." ”

Yesterday, Zhou Jin said the same, and he also suggested that Xie Yangui read more relevant documents, regardless of whether it was the autumn trial or the court trial, or the records sent to the north and south offices.

It doesn't hurt her to look more.

"Yes." Wan Feng agreed, but he didn't leave, he thought for a moment, and then replied, "My lord, it will take some time for the lowly rank, if you come back tomorrow, I will sort out some for the adults to check first." ”

Sorting out paperwork has always been laborious, and it is true that it can be done immediately.

Xie Yangui said yes and got up from the chair, she didn't leave immediately, but planned to take a turn here and get acquainted with it.

"My lord, do you want me to accompany you?" Zhang Wei got some gestures and asked with a salute.

"No need, you guys can go and get busy, I'll just look around for myself, there should be nothing here that I can't see, right?"

Although she didn't see Wan Feng's signal, her eyes still swept over the two of them a few more times, and she had a smile on her face, but it could still make people feel oppressive.

"You're the head of the prison hall, so there's naturally nothing you can't watch." Wan Feng responded, his expression quite calm.

Xie Yangui smiled more and walked away.

"Lord Wan, do we really have to sort out the paperwork for her?" When he couldn't see Xie Yangui anymore, Zhang Wei asked Wan Feng.

"Since she is in charge, even if you and I don't tidy it up, if she wants to see it, she can always see it, so it's better to tidy it up for her, and save it from complications."

didn't go to see Zhang Wei, Wan Feng turned around and left, he said so, Zhang Wei could only listen.

Most of the people in the prison hall were indeed as Wan Feng said, either sent out to Beijing, or had other things.

But whether it was Wan Feng or Zhang Wei, they were deliberately left behind, in order to deal with Xie Yangui.

After a big turn, Xie Yangui left from the prison hall, she was not in a hurry to leave, so she walked around the criminal department.

"Ouch, isn't this General Ling Yu? I thought you'd be here in a few days! With a hearty smile of surprise, Xie Yangui raised his eyes and saw Wan Shangshu walking towards her.

"I've seen ten thousand people." Emperor Mingde said in the court, although Xie Yangui became the head of the prison hall, the regulations were still in accordance with the position of general.

But nominally, Wan Shangshu was her top boss, so Xie Yangui saluted him.

"General Xie is too outside, there is no need to be so formal, we are all from the Criminal Department, so be comfortable." Wan Shangshu smiled even more and led Xie Yangui forward.

"I don't know if General Xie drinks tea? I have some good tea here, you just came today, why don't we drink some tea and talk casually? ”
