"My lord, this morning, our shop was smashed as soon as it opened!"

When he came to the Criminal Department, Bai Yu directly found the right attendant of the Criminal Department and hurriedly reported the matter.

Huo Ran, the right attendant who was looking at the case file, raised his head, his face was ugly, he only dedicated Tianxiang Yulu to His Majesty a few days ago, so that His Majesty's internal wealth was full, and his face was happy, and it was only a few days later, Tianxiang Yulu was smashed by someone, is this still necessary?

The right squire frowned and said, "Do you know who smashed it?" ”

Bai Yu was indignant, "It's the gang of people called Zhang Qicai in Qifeng County, who are not lazy, and in the years that the lower officials have been away from home, Zhang Qicai's gang of lazy people have also teased the wife of the lower officials, and the lower officials have found the theory of the Yamen of Qifeng County and let them take people, but several adults of the Yamen of Qifeng County are afraid of Zhang Qicai's cousin, and they have no choice but to endure it under the prevarication, and the lower officials have no choice but to endure it, but I didn't expect that Zhang Qicai kicked his nose and smashed our shop, which is too deceitful!" ”

The right waiter's face turned cold, "The law of the dynasty, the prince broke the law, and he is still guilty of the same crime as the common people, where does Zhang Qicai's cousin come from?" ”

Bai Yu said, "I heard that Zhang Qicai's cousin was admitted to the Jinshi last year and became an official, but I don't know what position. ”

The right attendant snorted coldly, "Last year, the Zhongjin Shi, at most, was a six- or seven-grade official, and his relatives were in the township, and he regarded the laws of the dynasty as nothing, which was really a great official authority." ”

He took out a blank piece of seizure paper and wrote it quickly, and after it was written, he stamped it.

Let Bai Yu wait here, he went out with the paperwork.

Not long after, he came back and handed the documents to Bai Yu, "You take the arrest documents, transfer a group of arresters from the Criminal Department, arrest Zhang Qicai's gang of lazy people, and put them in prison. ”

Bai Yu took the document and looked at it, and found that in addition to the seal of the right attendant, it was also stamped with the big seal of the Criminal Department in charge of Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and there were three charges for Lieluo: smashing the shop, molesting women from good families, and selling illicit salt......

He admires the right waiter a little, tall, really high, worthy of being a member of the third grade, and really has a set of "business".

"Yes."

Bai Yu smiled and bowed his hand, turned to leave.

came to the arrest room directly under the Criminal Department, showed the documents, and transferred fifty catchers.

The Criminal Department, which is in charge of the world, is the criminal headquarters of the entire dynasty, and generally speaking, the Criminal Department hears cases submitted by various state capitals and localities, and will not directly send arresters to arrest people.

Of course, not arresting people generally does not mean that the criminal department cannot arrest them, in fact, the criminal department has set up departments such as arrest rooms and prisons, and it is completely possible to directly handle cases.

A secretary with fifty catchers is quite imposing, which has attracted many people's attention.

Out of the imperial city, Bai Yu took the catchers straight to Qifeng County, and without saying a word, he went to Zhang Qicai's gang of lazy people to arrest people.

"Inspector, what do you mean?"

Seeing Bai Yu rushing in with so many catchers kicking open the door, Zhang Qicai was obviously panicked.

Inspection? Who to look down on! This official is now the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he is the ninth grade! Bai Yu said lightly, "Someone accused you of smashing the shop, molesting women from good families, and selling illicit salt. ”

"When did I sell illicit salt?"

Zhang Qicai's face was ugly.

There must be some people who smash shops and molesting women from good families, and many people see it and can't deny it, but it's not a big crime, as long as his cousin comes forward to mediate a little, it's fine, but selling illicit salt is different, it's a capital crime!

"The evidence is conclusive, and you dare to deny it?"

Bai Yu walked into the kitchen and took out the salt for cooking.

The catchers smiled, they are not novices anymore, they are not used to it, as long as the criminal department wants to do it, there are really few people who can get away with it.

Zhang Qicai finally understood that this inspection was determined to kill him, and he had no idea of "negotiating conditions" with him at all.

He secretly regretted that he shouldn't have listened to the little white cub's bad idea to smash Tianxiang Yulu, this inspection didn't seem to be as soft as he imagined, if he didn't make a move, he wanted to hit him fatally.

He said with a cold gaze, "You have arrested me now, this is your ability, but I also have to tell you, when my cousin arrives, I am afraid that this matter will not be so easy!" ”

Bai Yu waved his hand indifferently, "Grab it." ”

The catchers rushed up and held Zhang Qicai down, just like pressing a piglet, and the shackles were wrapped up in circles.

Zhang Qicai couldn't resist, and he didn't dare to resist, otherwise he would have given him a reason to arrest him, and he could be killed on the spot.

In fact, he thought too much, Bai Yu didn't want to kill him directly, how boring was it to kill him quietly like this? How can there be the excitement of beheading at the entrance of the vegetable market?

Moreover, beheading in public can save "his face", after all, Mrs. was molested, which is unbearable for men, and there is another important reason, it is necessary to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys, so that those who want to fight Tianxiang Yulu's idea will all weigh the consequences.

Zhang Qicai and fox friends were all arrested, and they were not brought back to the prison of the Criminal Department in the Imperial City, but directly imprisoned in the prison of Qifeng County, Bai Yu was not worried about who dared to release Zhang Qicai and others, and those who were personally arrested by the Criminal Department dared to release without permission.

This time, the attitude of several adults in the yamen of Qifeng County towards Bai Yu obviously took a 180-degree turn, smiling one by one, praising him for eliminating harm for the people, and being able to get the arrest documents directly issued by the Criminal Department, obviously having a strong background in the Criminal Department can only do it, this energy is much more than that of Zhang Qicai's cousin.

"Those who you Qifeng County Yamen dare not arrest, this official will arrest them, and you Qifeng County Yamen can't handle the cases, this official will handle them."

Bai Yu didn't want to show them a face, he just subconsciously said this, anyway, domineering was over.

Several adults in the Yamen of Qifeng County had to smile awkwardly, and it was difficult to say anything, after all, people have backers and are powerful.

Zhang Qicai's family hurriedly sent someone to find Zhang Qicai's cousin Zhang Chaoling, and Zhang Chaoling, who learned the news, rushed back from other places.

He first found a few adults in the yamen of Qifeng County, but the few adults who had always been friendly to him before did not give him a good look this time, and they all had cold faces, saying that they couldn't help.

Zhang Chaoling had no choice but to find Bai Yu, he accompanied the smiling face and bowed his hands, "Master Secretary, the cousin of this official has no eyes, he offended you three times and twice, this official first apologized to the Lord Secretary on his behalf, and when this matter is over, the official asked him to set up a banquet to apologize to Lord Secretary and kneel and kowtow." ”

It is worthy of being a jinshi, a serious official, his eyesight is different, at a glance, he can see that the official robe on the official body belongs to the secretary of the criminal department, Bai Yu is secretly happy, but he is still a little regretful, he knew that it would be good to wear the bullfighting suit together, the bullfighting suit inside, the official robe outside, don't button it, both can be seen.

Bai Yu didn't buy it, "My head is gone, how can I kowtow and apologize?" ”

Zhang Chaoling's smile froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Is the secretary going to do it so desperately, although the cousin of this official is a bastard, there may be some who smash the shop and molest women from good families, but he will never dare to touch this illegal salt, it is obviously a dirty frame, this matter is a big trouble, and it is not good for anyone." ”

Are you threatening the officer? This official has two thighs, the right attendant of the criminal department and the Marquis of Jinnan, and no matter how bad it is, there are still the dragon legs of the emperor Lao'er, will this official be afraid of you? Bai Yu said lightly, "Let's make trouble." ”

Zhang Chaoling's face turned pale, and he brushed his sleeves away.

He went to the criminal department, but as a result, he was not even allowed to enter the gate.

Just when he was thinking about how to rescue his cousin Zhang Qicai, the execution document of the Criminal Department had been approved, and the execution document was clearly written: raiding the house, parading the streets, and beheading at the entrance of the vegetable market!

Why so fast?

Generally speaking, it takes at least a few months, or even more than half a year, to accept a case, arrest a criminal, try a case, and then execute it.

You must know that the final process of executing a prisoner with a death sentence must be approved by His Majesty himself before it can be executed.

In other words, the Criminal Department did not even have the process of hearing the case, and directly submitted the execution document, and His Majesty directly approved it!

Zhang Chaoling's face was pale, and he finally vaguely guessed something.

With a small Jiupin secretary alone, there must not be such a big energy to affect the Criminal Department and Your Majesty, there is only one possibility, that is, the background of Tianxiang Yulu is very frightening, and it is even very likely to be related to Your Majesty.

Moving His Majesty's money bag, what is the difference between that and looking for death?

In fact, as soon as the execution document came, Zhang Chaoling received a decree from His Majesty to hold him accountable, saying that he had connived at his relatives to bring disaster to the township, deposed him from his official position, and let him think about it behind closed doors for a year.
