In the early morning of the next day, after the end of the meeting, Tang Li was called to the Houhua Hall by Liu Muyuan.

Lord Liu pulled out a few pages from his sleeve robe and said, "This is Ju Er's crime and confession, and the government has not had time to reach the criminal department," after speaking, he lit these pieces of paper in front of Tang Li, and then looked at him and continued, "Lord Tang is the head of the prison, who needs to be used, you can make your own decisions, and this government will not interfere." ”

"Master Xie. Tang Li bowed and saluted, and the matter of his heart was always smoothed out, and he could be regarded as having an explanation for Ju Er.

"Lord Tang is polite," Liu Muyuan smiled, "But there are some things that the government has to remind you of one or two, Huo Congneng has been promoted from a small official of the county government to an official from the eighth rank of the government in just three years, it is not luck, if there is no support from the imperial court behind it, it will never be possible, so this official thinks that the festival of the two of you might as well be left at that, if it is really a big trouble, I am afraid it will not end well." ”

"Thank you, for your advice, I already have a sense of proportion in my humble heart. Tang said.

"Well," Liu Muyuan nodded, "That's the best, in addition, the winter solstice is coming, there will inevitably be emergencies, it is better for Lord Tang to stay in the prison, and when this period is over, this government will grant you half a month's vacation,"

Liu Muyuan paused, "Also, Lord Tang is the head of the prison in one government and twelve counties, and the list of prisoners beheaded in each county must be strictly checked in person, so as not to make mistakes, so that the thieves have a chance to take advantage of it. ”

......

Out of the back flower hall, Tang Li went straight to the officer's room.

When he came out of Lord Zuo, it was already noon, and he didn't care about eating, so he immediately arranged for the winter solstice to be beheaded.

Fortunately, Liu Muyuan reminded him, otherwise the first major thing he had to do when he first took office would have to be messed up.

Two days later, Hu Wei lived up to expectations and found out the spy in the end.

It turns out that this person is also surnamed Huo, and he has such a relationship with Huo Cong, if it is based on generation, Huo Bing has to call Huo Cong the second master.

As for why he targeted Tang Li, he was also asked by Hu Wei.

"It turned out that it was because the official occupied his nest," Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "Give Huo Bing twenty taels of silver, break one of his legs, expel him from the yamen, and tell the official that this person will never be hired." ”

"My lord, isn't it too cheap to punish this kid?" Hu Weijin said.

"Then do you have any good suggestions?" Tang Li asked.

"The winter solstice is coming soon, it's better to cut it together, anyway, there is not a single corpse of him, I don't know what the adults want?" Hu Wei squinted his eyes, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.

"Sin is not death, let's accumulate some yin virtue. Tang Li was still thinking about whether this was a bit too much, but when he heard Hu Wei say this, he felt much better.

Even if the other party's report is successful, he will be demoted by half a rank at most, fined for three years, leaving a stain on his political career and having an impact on his career, of course, Hu Bantou and many jailers will also be punished.

That's why he broke one of the other party's legs and smashed his job, which can be regarded as fair, but if he really wants to kill someone, he still can't do it.

Although Hu Wei felt regretful, since the adult had spoken, he could only turn the page.

In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice came, and the number of death row prisoners beheaded this time more than tripled compared to previous years, and more than 100 people were sent to Qisong County alone, most of whom were bandits from Qingqizhai, and then the county Cheng and others and their families.

Tang Li is also quite helpless about this, one person commits a crime, but he wants to punish the whole clan, it is too inhumane, but the law is the law, unless it is the holy golden mouth, no one can change it.

In addition to the people watching in the city, there are also officials who maintain order, the guards guarding the law field, and the imperial court guards, which can be described as heavily guarded.

The big and small officials of the government, except for those who really can't get away, basically came, and the heads of the three major families also came to the court, but the presiding officer of the execution was not the Fuzun Liu Muyuan, but an adult of the criminal department, whose name was Zhang Zhiming, was an official from the fourth grade, a monk of the Golden Lotus.

After getting this news, Tang Li almost collapsed, Zhen Nyima was afraid of something, with Hu Xueqing's Taoism, it was not a problem to deal with the Qinglian monk, but if he wanted to hide it from the Golden Lotus monk, it would be impossible.

In the innate realm, the golden lotus position is a watershed, and when it is cultivated to this realm, it is basically not much different from the land immortals.

Seeing that the question was about to be cut, Tang Li was in a hurry, and he couldn't be depressed, if he wanted to bribe this adult, he would be bankrupt and people would not be able to look down on him.

In the squad of the torture room, an old man about fifty years old, with crane hair and a childish face, wearing purple jade and black sand, wearing a purple official robe, and a three-headed beast tattooed on the placket was sitting in the seat before Tang Li.

"Lord Tang," Zhang Zhiming put down the list of death row prisoners in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Tang Lidao, who was standing at the head of the group.

"Humble duty," Tang Li's palms were full of sweat at this time, and he didn't dare to look up at the other party's sharp eyes.

"This seat came this time to discuss something with Lord Tang. Zhang Zhizhi said, having said that, there is a hint of discussion with you in his tone and demeanor.

"My lord has tormented the lower officials, as long as the lower officials can do it, there is no other thing. "Tang Wei said, you are such a big name, discuss it with me, you can say it directly.

"Well," Zhang Zhiming nodded, looking quite satisfied with his attitude, "In that case, then this seat will be straightforward." ”

When the words fell, I saw that with a slight flip of his palm, one of the death row prisoners on the death row list flew up, hung in the air, and came to Tang Li to freeze in front of him.

"This seat is entrusted by others, I don't know if Lord Tang has any tricks, can he steal the sky?"

Tang Li looked up, but saw a red light around a person's name,—— Mrs. Luo.

This person Tang Li has some impressions, but he was a five-grade official, and he was sentenced to beheading at the beginning of last year, but later, for some reason, the sentence was changed to the winter solstice.

Tang Li didn't understand at first when Liu Muyuan hinted at himself from time to time, and was wary, but now he understood.

Tang Li had always felt that it was too strange for him to be transferred to Fucheng to serve as a prisoner, and when he learned that Huo Cong had been squeezed away, he was even more puzzled, but after connecting everything together, it suddenly became clear.

It turns out that the stalk is here,—— these eighty percent are parties and factions in the officialdom, and the transfer of him to prison must have been planned by these people from the beginning, and from the moment he took office, he has become a pawn of these people.

Thinking of this, Tang Li couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine,——You really look down on me."
