From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

"dong dong dong"

Suddenly, the Drum of Crying Wrongs outside the criminal department rang. Zhang Donglai, Minister of the Criminal Department, was drinking tea. Hearing the sound of the drum, his brows were slightly frowned.

The Ministry of Punishment's grievance drum is rarely beaten for no other reason, because they are the Ministry of Punishment, not the county government.

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs does not accept ordinary cases. Only when the Beijing officials are sued will the grievance drum be used. That is to say, someone outside the door is suing the Beijing officials.

Zhang Dong is over [-] years old and has already submitted the paperwork for retiring. He only needs to be approved by the Holy Spirit before he can retire and return to his hometown with honor to spend the rest of his life in peace.

Shaking his head, Zhang Donglai called someone to wait for him to change his clothes, because according to the laws of the Great Wei, if someone beats a drum, he, a minister, must be promoted.

Even if he really doesn't want to worry about it.

Dressed neatly, Zhang Donglai came to the lobby, and saw a man not much younger than him kneeling in the hall, who was physically strong, but much stronger than him.

"Who is in the hall, and what is the complaint?"

Zhang Donglai sat on the chair, slapped the gavel, and said in the loudest voice possible.

"Yan Kuan, a grassroots man, sued Wang Peiyuan, the servant of the household department, for taking bribes and breaking the law."

The man shouted loudly, much louder than Zhang Donglai's voice, and handed over the pleadings at the same time, and the yamen servant immediately took it over and handed it to Zhang Donglai.

Hearing that Wang Peiyuan was sued, Zhang Donglai's face was full of strangeness.

He has heard of the name of Wang Dafuzi. After all, he is the number one scholar handpicked by the sage. When the household department questioned, everyone in the criminal department shook their heads like a rattle drum.

All out of psychological shadow.

"Your pleadings are written in a mess. Let me ask you, do you have any real evidence to sue Wang Shilang?"

Zhang Donglai put down the pleading paper, his face was slightly angry, the pleading paper was indeed unclear, so all the nonsense, the result was all baseless assumptions.

"My lord, I am Wang Peiyuan's uncle, how can I talk nonsense.

It is true that Wang Peiyuan is corrupt and perverting the law, which is detrimental to the majesty and law of the imperial court, and I hope that your lord will make the decision to eliminate this disaster for the imperial court..."

The man was yelling loudly below, Zhang Donglai only felt a headache, so he told the left and right to throw the man out.

Suing the officials of the court without any real evidence, Zhang Donglai didn't convict him of a false accusation, so it was considered polite.

"My lord, this matter can't be left alone. After all, that person is Uncle Zhang Donglai. If we ignore it, we will be accused of protecting each other by officials."

Back in the back hall, Hutong Shan came over and muttered softly.

"The boy is talking nonsense, and the pleadings are written in a mess, how can I ask?"

Zhang Donglai was not in a good mood. According to the laws of the Great Wei, some people went to the Ministry of Punishments to sue the officials. They had to record the matter, and then submit it to the cabinet and hand it over to one of the two prime ministers.

But this case is really absurd. The boy who claimed to be Wang Shilang's uncle talked about him from left to right, saying that Wang Peiyuan was corrupt, but there was no real evidence for him to write an account.

"My lord, why don't you just write it down as it is, trust the two ministers, and make your own judgment."

After Hu Tongshan finished speaking, Zhang Donglai thought for a moment and nodded.

In any case, the procedures we should follow have gone. As for whether it is absurd or not, let the two prime ministers judge.

Anyway, I got things done, and no one could fault me.

So Zhang Donglai asked people to prepare the pen and ink, wrote the notebook, then attached the pleading paper, and handed it to the yamen servant for him to send to the cabinet.

The cabinet of the Great Wei Dynasty actually consisted of only two people, that is, the two prime ministers.In the past, there were quite a lot of people, but although there were many people, the efficiency was extremely low, so these two people were left behind to handle various memorials.

Regardless of just the two of them, the efficiency is much higher. After all, they only target various ministries and state capitals all over the world. Adding them all together, there is not much profit in a day.

Liu Xun dozed off, sitting in a chair half asleep, while Wang Bin next to him had a lot of notebooks in front of him, carefully flipping through them one by one, and then wrote down his opinions with a pen.

When he turned over the papers from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Wang Bin was taken aback because there was actually a piece of pleading paper in the papers.

"This one……"

Wang Bin first read the brochure and then the pleadings, and couldn't help but feel that this matter was too unimaginable.

The uncle of Wang Shilang of the household department sued Wang Shilang for embezzlement and perverting the law. The matter was played out as it was, and as for opinions, there were no opinions at all.

Yes, the Ministry of Punishment didn't have any opinions on how to deal with it, it just acted as a sounding board.

"Prime Minister Liu, Prime Minister Liu?"

Wang Bin was also confused and lost his mind. He looked at the old man Liu Xun, hesitated for a moment, and decided to push the matter to this old fritter.

After all, Liu Xun has been an official for many years, and has been sitting in the position of prime minister for more than ten years. A small prime minister like himself has sent away several of them.

"Oh? Ah, what's the matter?"

Liu Xun asked in a daze, and glanced at Wang Bin, obviously not fully awake yet.

"Prime Minister Liu, look at this brochure..."

Wang Bin handed Zhang Donglai's booklet to Liu Xun. Liu Xun opened it, looked at it, then opened the paper again, and finally burst out laughing.

"Prime Minister Liu, do you also think this is absurd?"

Seeing Liu Xun laughing, Wang Bin guessed that Liu Xun also felt that this uncle was really unreasonable.

"Okay, okay, just gave His Majesty a step, quickly, follow me into the palace, and send this good news to His Majesty."

Liu Xun was about to go out with the booklet and the pleading paper, while Wang Bin was at a loss.

good news?What kind of good news is this?

But Liu Xun left, and he had to follow, so the two prime ministers ran to the upper study room, and handed over the notebook and pleadings from the Ministry of Punishment to Cao Xing.

Cao Xing read it, and didn't ask the two of them for their opinions. Instead, he wrote Zhu Zhu with a big stroke of his pen.

Just two words - that's all.

Forget it, forget it, these two words can be said to be a pun, is it just about this matter, or is it about Wang Peiyuan's official?

Liu Xun accepted the notebook approved by Cao Xing with a smile, while Wang Bin beside him was full of question marks, not sure what kind of riddle these two people were playing.

"Shangshu of the Household Department has been absent for a long time, and I can't delay it any longer. I think that Huang Shilang is good, and he does things steadily. Let the Imperial Academy draw up a decree and promote him to be a minister."

Cao Xing flipped through the idle books on the side, and with a few words, settled the long-standing dispute in court.

"Of order, I'll do it now."

Liu Xun bowed and replied, and then withdrew.

Wang Bin also retreated after Liu Xun, but he couldn't figure out what was going on with these two monarchs and ministers.

"Prime Minister Wang, there are some things that you need to pay more attention to. This court has always been dependent on the turbidity to be stable."

Liu Xun stopped in the corridor and said as if talking to himself.

"I also ask Prime Minister Liu to speak clearly."

Wang Bin took two quick steps and bowed to salute.

This is a student gift, obviously in Wang Bin's heart, he regards Liu Xun as a teacher.

"This is an obvious false accusation, and it is done clumsily, full of flaws, but it gives His Majesty a reason not to allow Wang Peiyuan to sit on the position of Minister.

Wang Peiyuan has a strong temper. If he becomes Minister of the Household Department, he will inevitably carry out a cleansing in the Household Department. How many people will lose their lives, and how many officials will be dismissed from office?

The most important thing, you have cleaned up everyone in the household department, who will do the work? "

Therefore, His Majesty will not let Wang Peiyuan take the position, but he needs a reason, so, isn't this just here.

In addition, Huang Shilang spent more than ten years in the position of servant, and he was promoted to a first-level official, which also gave hope to many people, lest they feel that there is no hope of promotion and develop a habit of lazy administration. "

When Liu Xun said something, Wang Binmao suddenly understood, and immediately saluted again, which was considered to be learned.

The position of Shangshu has been settled, and the matter of the uncle suing the nephew is also nothing.Of course, Wang Peiyuan knew about it, so on the first day Huang Shangshu took office, Wang Peiyuan blocked him in the room, pointed at his nose and scolded him for more than an hour.

Wang Peiyuan blamed Huang Shangshu for the planting, but Huang Shangshu could only smile and ignore him.

The matter of the household department has come to an end, but there is something wrong with Zhenyaosi.

Tie Feihua woke up, and when she learned that Jiang Li had come to her door, she immediately decided to leave the capital and go into exile.

Well, an iron catcher of the god catcher, this has the idea of ​​falling into the grass...
