Chapter 19 Zhili
The Yamen of the Criminal Department is located in the northern suburbs of the Forbidden City, which was called Beihai at that time. The largest area of Zhili Prefecture, there are only two places in the southern district and Beihai, the southern district is where the government office of the Zhili Prefecture is located, and the southern district has the largest number of people.
From the Shenwu Gate to the west called the West City Government, from the Shunzhi period to the West Market is the center of groceries, such as tea, aquatic products, vegetables and fruits, in the West City shops have a wide variety of everything.
Local vegetable farmers drive to the market at around 4 a.m. to start wholesale their own vegetables and fruits, and shops along the street open early and are lit up.
During the day, most of the merchants from other places will stay in the West Market at night, and some of the merchants will bring their families to the capital to visit the West Market. The man will walk the streets and alleys to enter and exit the shops, they only buy and sell goods, and they have to load the car overnight in the middle of the night, and set off with the goods at dawn to go to other places.
Because of this, the tourism industry in the West Market is quite prosperous, and several famous inns and restaurants have not waited for the sun to go down, and the guests there are already overcrowded. Every night when the weather is cool, there will be some wealthy merchants, just to eat a meal of Beijing cuisine, they will drive tirelessly, long distance to the first restaurant in the southern district.
But if you go all the way to the capital, if you don't go to the first restaurant in the southern district for a supper, then your trip to the capital will be in vain. Merchants from all over the country have to meet, the most prosperous Zhili Mansion in the Qing Dynasty, and finally return from the original road at about two o'clock in the morning.
The Jiumen General Military Division is located in the suburbs of the Southern District, this General Military Division is a military camp, the duty of the infantry military camp is to protect the safety of the imperial city, and the chief military officer directly obeys the emperor's orders, so the infantry military camp is actually the emperor's personal soldiers.
The infantry camp is not very far from Shenwu Gate, and there is only one street between the two places, and Du Baojie prepared the bodies of the first offender, Harxun, and Cao Jiuying, the governor of Zhili, with the documents handed over to the Criminal Department.
Outside the gate of the Wei Mansion, Shu Han brought the black horse that his family usually rides, and a brand new horse whip, and handed it to him. At the same time, he reported to him that the horses had already been fed, and the adults had ridden and galloped for hundreds of miles, and there was no problem at all.
At this time, Wei Jiyi was dressed neatly, and the scholars of the Chongzheng Palace wore a purple official robe, a high-grade agate pearl hung on his chest, and an official hat was topped with the best red coral.
Shuhan continued, "My lord has been riding this black horse for a year, and I have been watching this horse for a few days, and I have recently noticed that it is old. Otherwise, when you have time to find a horse master, you can sell it with some silver taels, and the other fat horses in the stable, no matter the strength of the feet, the color of the coat or the appearance, are not inferior to the current one.
Wei Jiyi touched the horse's back with his hand, and the black and shiny fur directly showed that the horse was living well in the stable in the backyard of Wei's mansion. Master Wei didn't ride many horses, and there were more than one or two mounts, not to mention that there were other horses in his stable.
Since Shu Han said so, it is better to follow his wishes and change to the red horse.
"Then do what you say"
"This officer is now going to the barracks"
Du Baojie, the commander of the infantry army, ordered the soldiers to drag a prisoner cart, threw Harxun into the prisoner cart, and put Cao Jiuying's body on the carriage, led by Wei Jiyi and one hundred and ten infantry soldiers, and walked into the perimeter road.
It didn't take much time along the way, and there were no superfluous episodes, and finally the prisoner car stopped directly in front of the yamen of the criminal department.
The Yamen of the Criminal Department is located in a secluded place in Beihai, which is constructed by dozens of houses of different sizes, and when you enter this gate, there is a courtyard of the Criminal Department, and a stone plaque is erected in the center of the compound, and the Yamen of the Criminal Department is engraved in the middle of the stone plaque.
Take a few steps to bypass this stone plaque, and not far from the inside is the main hall of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, the main hall of the Criminal Department is relatively spacious, and it is used to deal with the Qing Dynasty, and all the criminal cases, he can't think about it.
Above the main hall of the Criminal Department, a table made of pig iron is placed, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department uses this table to handle all the official affairs of the Yamen of the Criminal Department. On the wall behind the cast-iron table hangs a painting of birds and the red sun, various documents stored at both ends of the main hall, all the criminal cases of the Qing Dynasty, and the great achievements of the previous criminal ministers.
This secretary of the Criminal Department is Chen Hongye, because he is a native of Yili, Xinjiang, and it is rumored that he holds a large plate of chicken in one hand, holds a book in the other hand, and gnaws chicken bones while reading the article.
