Whether the sad past is big or small, it is a past, after all, it is an uncomfortable memory, although Shangguan Kite's piano skills are as unparalleled as her dancing skills, many ministers still can't bear it, and the banquet has no interest in going on, and everyone has said goodbye and dispersed.

Shangguan Kite, who returned with a full load, was also not in a good mood, because her feelings were more obvious.

The two masters and servants who returned to Mengyu Pavilion in the carriage were in different moods, Meng'er was very happy, not only ate a delicious meal, but also got a lot of treasures, and was just about to grab the jade in the hands of the young lady to play.

Shangguan Kite seemed to be thinking about something, playing with the jade casually, Meng'er's outstretched hand was very fast, originally wanted to snatch something while Miss was not paying attention, but Shangguan Kite subconsciously flickered, and actually avoided Meng'er's snatching.

This time, Shangguan Kite also noticed that he could live faster than his dream.

You must know that Meng'er has been practicing martial arts for many years, and she is already in the realm of a little grandmaster, and her physical fitness and reaction ability are much stronger than Shangguan Kite, who does not know martial arts, and she often robbed the things in the hands of the young lady before, but before Shangguan Kite reacted, the things were already in Meng'er's hands.

Now, how?

Meng'er didn't believe in evil, so she grabbed it again, and Shangguan Kite's dodge speed was still faster than her.

"Why is Miss so powerful!"

Shangguan Kite was horrified to find one thing, it was not that her speed was faster than her dream, but that he felt her movements in advance, and there was nothing wrong with her.

What kind of power is this? I was scared by myself, what was the reason why a banquet made me change so much.

"Shhh Gagged Meng'er's mouth, the master and servant hurriedly returned to their residence.

………………

The Criminal Department is the chain of the order of the Qi Dynasty, and everyone who violates the criminal law will be dealt with by the Criminal Department, and the murder and robbers will be investigated and punished by the Criminal Department.

A prosperous dynasty must ensure that the people live and work in peace and contentment, which means that those who violate the law of etiquette must be eliminated or greatly restricted.

Which dynasty has people who take risks for the sake of profit and for a while, just like the battle of the three kings to encircle and suppress the king of Qicheng, there are robbers in such a dangerous place who take advantage of the chaos, and in the end they were all ordered to be killed by Long Yu, if it is not dealt with by military law, the criminal department will not be able to escape death after arresting and approving people, it is just a matter of time or time.

In terms of stability, it depends on whether the criminal department has a deterrent effect and can scare away some people who want to commit crimes but don't dare to.

On the second day after the banquet, the crown prince was still in charge of the court normally.

After dealing with some twists and turns, the prince said: "If there is nothing to do today, please retire early, yesterday's banquet was a little tiring, and the ministers also worked hard!" ”

"The minister has this to play!"

Before the words fell, Taishou Taibao Li Wei stood up.

"Huh?" The crown prince seemed to know what Li Wei was going to do and did not stop it.

"The minister thinks that some cases handled by the Criminal Department recently are really inappropriate, please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a decision!"

Chu Wen, the head of the Criminal Department, couldn't help but shudder when he heard this.

"Oh, what case is so serious?"

"First, the Northern Military Government detained several robbers for many days without a verdict, which led to public resentment, and many people thought that the imperial dynasty was harboring and conniving at these robbers and collecting taxes from the robbers!"

"Second, Mobei Mansion has imposed taxes in recent years, and this year it has increased by 30%, resulting in many families not being able to survive, and residents are prohibited from moving out.

"Third, hundreds of people in Guangyang Mansion are missing, and it is rumored that there is a cult that has established the world, assassinating many people and wealthy businessmen, but no one has reported it!"

"Fourth, the man in black was assassinated, although he was killed, but the person who colluded with him has not been found out so far, and the criminal department has no clues, and even ignores it, which is really dereliction of duty!"

"Fifth, there are still some people who have been exiled to other prefectures and counties in the robber incident that occurred during the war in Yechen Mansion, and the Criminal Department has not caught any of them!"

"Sixth, Haiyuan Mansion has been robbed of tribute by a group of outsiders many times, and many treasures have been lost every year, and the Criminal Department has no choice!"

"Seventh, Heiyan Mansion has repeatedly found that local hooligans colluded with local officials to secretly increase taxes, and even established a small army, but the Criminal Department also let it go and did not report it!"

"Eighth, someone in Baichuan Mansion sued corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but they were beaten to death, and the people reported it many times to no avail!"

"Ninth, there have been many fights between several major families in Yumen Mansion, with more than 100 dead and injured people, and the Criminal Department has not recorded it!"

"Tenth, many cases in the Criminal Department have stayed in a state of detention, without trial or judgment, and even some people involved in the case have entered and exited the cell at will many times, and no one cares!"

Li Wei listed ten questions at a time, which also contained a lot of other information, and basically all of them were major crimes of dereliction of duty.

The prince was also secretly shocked in his heart: "These three princes are really powerful, when did they collect so many things, they must be more careful in the future." ”

Every time Li Wei said a word, Chu Wen, the head of the Criminal Department, chuckled in his heart, and when the ten articles were finished, it seemed that he had gone through a long time, which was enough to complete his life.

No matter how much defense there is, it is pale and powerless, and there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, Chu Wen has reported these things to the third prince, but he was suppressed by Li Wei for various reasons, but he didn't expect it to be for today.

The three princes fought for the emperor, and there must have been casualties, but I didn't expect the first one to be himself.

Chu Wen felt bitter in his heart, and his hard work all his life ended like this.

Most of the affairs of several prefectures and counties were manipulated by some princes to collect more bargaining chips for their camp, and Chu Wen knew that it was not good to participate in these things, so he reported them to the third prince in time, and now it seems that the third prince is the mastermind of these things.

Sangong is not alone, Chu Wen glanced up at Wei Dongcheng and Xue Chenghai slightly, and found that the two of them did not react at all, so he had a plan in his heart.

The prince angrily slapped the desk of the prison dynasty and shouted, "You are guilty of the main mansion of the criminal department!" Unexpectedly, the huge criminal department has become such a miasma! ”

Chu Wen stood up tremblingly, knelt down and said: "The lower official is guilty, he has been vomiting blood for many years, and his body is not as good as it was back then, plus he is old, so he has missed it so far, please punish His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

This time, not only the prince was surprised, but Li Wei was even more surprised, others may not know, but Li Wei knew in his heart that Chu Wen did not find these problems, but just dug a big hole for him, and now he himself jumped down obediently, which is really incomprehensible.

A confession blocked back what the prince was going to say next.

Although Li Wei was surprised, he reacted quickly and said: "The minister is also guilty of dereliction of duty, but he didn't find that the criminal department has become a mess, since Chu Wen pleaded guilty, he needs to deal with it according to law!" ”

Prince: "That's right, Chu Wen's dereliction of duty will be reduced by at least three years and demoted by one level!" ”

After finishing speaking, Taifu Taibao Dongcheng stood up and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Qiqi, now the chaos in the criminal department has caused public resentment, and if you don't punish it heavily, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public!" ”

Taishi Taibao Xue Chenghai also stood up and said: "Lord Chu Wen himself said that he is old, if he continues to stay in office, I am afraid that today's incident will happen, it is better to ............!" ”

Before the words fell, Xue Chenghai's words were interrupted by Long Yu, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister thinks that Lord Chu has managed the Criminal Department in an orderly manner for many years, and he has a great prestige among the people, and some unjust cases have been personally rehabilitated by Lord Chu, I believe that these are all unintentional mistakes, and I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to open up the net and give Lord Chu a chance!" ”

Long Yu actually came forward to intercede, to everyone's surprise, because of the previous fight between the three princes and Long Yu, the three of them didn't dare to open their mouths to refute.

Although Long Yu and Chu Wen did not have a deep friendship, since the establishment of the dynasty, Chu Wen has served as the head of the criminal department, and there has never been a mistake.

Long Yu opened his mouth, and the prince couldn't think of how to refute it for a while, but it was Chu Wen himself who broke the deadlock.

"The minister knows that he is old and old, and he is no longer qualified for the position of the head of the criminal department, so I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to allow the minister to return to his hometown for the sake of the old minister's hard work for many years!"

The prince was overjoyed, and thought in his heart that this old man still understands things, although the prince is no longer young.

"This ............" Chu Wen asked for his resignation, and Long Yu didn't want to say anything, so he retreated.

The crown prince saw that Long Yu had retired, and said: "Of course, Lord Chu has done his best for the imperial dynasty for many years, but just because he is too old to hold an official position, he allows you to return to his hometown, and everything will not be pursued!" ”

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your kindness!" Chu Wen seemed to have some luck.

Prince: "The position of the head of the Criminal Department is very important, as for the right candidate, we need to refer to it in more detail, and we will discuss it in the future, and retire from the dynasty today!" ”

The ministers retreated, all the ministers left one after another, and many people subconsciously looked at Chu Wen, who would have thought that a generation of old ministers would be cut off of their official positions so easily.

Watching Chu Wen leave, Left Prime Minister Yucheng grabbed Right Prime Minister Liang Chen and said: "Lord Liang, it's very good today, why don't you go to my place and drink a few glasses, I still have some leftover from the Huanghua wine I bought last year, what do you think!" ”

Liang Chen: "That's what I mean, today you and I won't get drunk and won't return!" ”

The two went hand in hand, and they didn't seem to care about Chu Wen's resignation.

In the court, whether it is official or private, ministers will make some "friends", in order to be more convenient for themselves, many things need help, and it is not surprising that they will get together to talk about the world when they get off the court.

Back at the house, Yu Cheng and Liang Chen entered a hut.

The voices of the two men were so low that only the two of them could hear them even in the room.

Liang Chen: "Why did you call me here today because of Chu Wen?" ”

Yucheng: "That's right, I have also heard what Li Wei said in the court, and I have reported it more or less before, and the third prince must know about these things!" ”

Liang Chen held the wrench in his hand and thought: "These things have been suppressed, it must not be because the prince is involved so simple!" ”

Yu Cheng was puzzled: "Is it too risky to involve the prince in it, just for a Chu Wen?" ”

Liang Chen: "I can't figure it out either, these things are not something that a few princes can do, and even I suspect that the crown prince is involved!" ”

An emerald green wrench finger kept turning in Liang Chen's hand, turning from one finger to another, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

The two fell silent.
