Chapter 20: Criminal Department I

Wei Jiyi took Du Baojie and the handover documents prepared earlier by the traffickers, and walked to the main hall with them in his hands. Chen Hongye, the secretary of the Criminal Department, lay on the table, looking at the old documents and old files in the past, his eyes were easily tired after reading for a long time, and he was about to get up and go to the side hall on the left, take a break and drink a few sips of freshly brewed tea, and when he looked up, he saw Wei Jiyi coming inside.

Chen Hongye is also cautious, has children, daughters and parents at home, is diligent and diligent in doing things, and never slacks off on official duties.

As soon as Wei Jiyi walked into the door, he let him see clearly, and the person who came in was Wei Jiyi, a cabinet member.

During the Qianlong Dynasty, the head of the leadership group cabinet was divided into two constituent institutions, one of which was called the Military Aircraft Department located in Zhanghua Garden, which was in charge of the military affairs of the Qing Dynasty. This organization is composed of Fu Heng, the chief minister of military aircraft, A Gui, the minister of military aircraft, Lin Chaoying, the minister of co-ordination of military aircraft, and Luo Hansheng, the minister of military aircraft.

The other part is still called the cabinet, from the Fuzhou Garden on the left side of the Qianqing Palace, to the Jingtai Hall near the Baohe Palace. The cabinet consisted of Wei Jiyi, the chief soldier of Jiumen, Li Wei, the governor of Liangjiang, Wu Ershan, the governor of the east, Fang Xuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Yong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Ji Yun, the governor of the Northwest University.

When Wei Jiyi, the number one person in the cabinet, arrived, Chen Hongye immediately came to his senses, got up and took a few steps towards him, and shouted in his mouth that Scholar Wei came to the Criminal Department, and the lower officials represented all the officials in the headquarters to welcome Scholar Wei to guide him.

Wei Jiyi didn't expect that this was the first time he had walked into the main hall of the Criminal Department, and because of a homicide case, he had walked into the Criminal Department of the Qing Dynasty so seriously.

"Chen Shangshu doesn't have to be polite", he took the documents prepared by the commander of the infantry army and handed them to Chen Hongye.

~ This is the document handed over by the Nine Gates General Military Division, Chen Shangshu, take a good look.

Chen Hongye took the handover document, but he didn't plan to hold it in his hand, he just read the content now, but wanted to listen to Wei Jiyi's dictation to himself.

This official is running the emperor's errand, which is explained by the Lord of Long Live himself, and it is the errand of several of our ministers, so let's get down to business, because this matter is more serious, we all have to spare no effort and strive to do the best in the short term.

When Chen Hongye heard about this errand, it turned out to be explained by the Lord Long Live, although he didn't know what happened yet, but he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in his heart. Since it's an errand for a few adults, it shouldn't be easy, and he thinks it's definitely going to happen.

"What the hell is going on"

"Cao Jiuying, the governor of Zhili, was killed"

Chen Hongye was very surprised when he heard such news.

Cao Jiuying was killed, then who was he killed, is there a whereabouts of the murderer at present, he is full of doubts, and wants Wei Jiyi to give an answer. However, he wanted to invite Master Wei to sit down in the side hall, and then drink tea and talk to himself.

The two walked to the side hall together, and after they all sat down, Wei Jiyi said slowly.

The chief yamen of Jiangnan Province sent a deacon to Zhili Mansion to arrest a Jiangyang thief named Liu Moti, and as a result, the guard team of Jiuxianlou and Zhili Mansion fought fiercely, and finally the deacon of Jiangnan Province used a whip to kill Cao Jiuying, the governor of Zhili.

Chen Hongye is the same age as Wei Jiyi and Li Wei, and he has been a secretary of the Criminal Department for nearly ten years, so he has a set of cases to handle.

Tian Qi, the servant of the Criminal Department, slipped outside the door just now, and came back and looked directly for Chen Hongye, Wei Jiyi didn't know who the person who came, so he asked Tian Qi who you are.

Tian Qi hurriedly approached Chen Hongye and told Wei Jiyi that the official was Tian Qi, the servant of the Criminal Department, and he didn't know what to call an adult.

"Nine Gate General Soldier Chongzheng Hall University Scholar Wei Jiyi"

Tian Qi didn't want to be polite to him, just be polite and just say a few words, Chen Hongye told Tian Qi again, the purpose of Wei Jiyi's coming here today.

He just approached Chen Hongye and whispered, This Lord Wei has a prisoner cart parked outside the door, but Xia Guan thinks this matter is suspicious, since they are sending prisoners from the palace, then Xia Guan has two questions.

Chen Hongye was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked him in a low voice, The stakes are so high, don't you make a mistake, this is the chief military officer of the Nine Sects, how can he be a petty official like you, can you doubt it casually.

Tian Qi continued, because of this, the official wants to speak, don't let the liar deceive, my lord, don't make a noise, we can do further confirmation.

Chen Hongye glanced at him, there is evidence for what you said, if there is no evidence, the official will deal with you immediately, and then deal with Lord Wei's imperial mission.

Tian Qi continued to whisper, Let me tell the adults about my two reasons first, they are doing this trip to the emperor, this is the first suspicion that he has a letter from the Long Live Lord, and the second point is that if the human traffickers are sent from the palace, it will be the imperial guards, when will it be the turn of the people of the Nine Gates General Military Division.
