Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

Since Liu Dianshi reminded others, he naturally did not dare to be negligent.

There is a fixed format for the sacrificial text, and it is just a modification of the old sacrificial text. It is just that I was really lazy before, so I never wrote it.

Not daring to delay any longer, he prepared a sacrificial text early the next day and sent it to the official post station outside the city.

Qin Yunhe has seen it and there is no problem.

Liu Dianshi breathed a sigh of relief after expressing his approval. He then confirmed the sacrificial ceremony with Qin Yunhe before leaving.

In a blink of an eye, date three arrived.

When the day of the sacrifice arrived, all the officials in the hall naturally did not dare to be negligent. No matter they were the runners and registrars from the inner and outer yamen, they all went to the official post station to welcome Qin Yunhe into the city.

The group went to the City God Temple in a mighty procession.

The supporters are ready.

Qin Yunhe led his subordinates, followed the guidance of the promoter, and bowed to express his gratitude.

After that, the sacrifice is offered, worship is performed again, and the prayer is read out.

The sacrifice was now complete and everything went smoothly.

Liu Dianshi led Qin Yunhe to the ceremonial gate of the hall, and Qin Yunhe entered from the middle door. A ceremonial attendant led everyone to the incense table and performed five bows and three kowtows to thank the emperor for his great grace.

After the ceremony, Qin Yunhe went to the hall and sat down.

Now that he was seated, Qin Yunhe officially took office. The censors, clerks, and servants in the yamen all came to pay their respects to the new magistrate.

After the ceremony, Qin Yunhe asked several registrars and team leaders to take their seats, and then began to give a lecture.

"My dear colleagues, I am here to perform my duties under the order of the Emperor. I am gathered here with you to handle public affairs together. I am new to your land and do not know the customs. I will rely on your support in the future. I hope you will abide by the rules and regulations, perform your duties, and do not let down the Emperor's grace."

Liu Dianshi and others naturally expressed their loyalty and said they would obey your orders.

After the routine training is completed, it is time to get to know the registrars and team leaders of each department.

Qin Yunhe already knew Liu Dianshi of the Ministry of Rites. He had been working in the hall for more than ten years and was a senior to everyone in the hall.

He also knows the most about the major and minor matters in the hall, and people in the hall like to discuss everything with him.

Chen Yu, the Dianshi of the Personnel Department, is much younger than Dianshi Liu. He doesn't seem to talk much, but it's unknown whether he has many hidden thoughts.

There was another Dianshi who was in charge of arresting criminals. His name was Liu Xu. He looked very young and was said to have just taken office. He was promoted before the previous prosecutor was transferred.

There were a total of forty-two yamen runners in three shifts in the hall.

The soap squad consists of 12 men, led by Xu Cheng. The strong squad consists of 20 men, led by Zhao Ke. The fast squad consists of 20 men, led by Wu Shou.

"Before I take office, are there any cases waiting to be dealt with?"

Qin Yunhe has only been in office for three months. Now he has no idea how the two registrars are handling their affairs, so he can't help but ask questions with concern.

Liu Dianshi said, "Sir, the yamen has been relatively quiet in the past few months. There have only been a few cases of disputes between neighbors, which I and Dianshi Chen have already dealt with. Here are the case files from the past few months, please have a look."

Qin Yunhe took it and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, they were all trivial matters and were handled well.

Qin Yunhe read through the book carefully and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work in the past few months. Are there any cases submitted for review by the counties below that have not been reviewed yet?"

Liu Dianshi presented another case file and said, "We have reviewed the previous ones. This one was sent recently. Because you are about to take office, Chen Dianshi and I dare not interfere, so we have not reviewed it yet."

Qin Yunhe took it and looked at it carefully, and specifically looked through the case files submitted by Xunlin County.

Lin Zhaotang had previously mentioned in a letter to him that his county magistrate was extremely capable and the case files were very clearly organized.

Qin Yunhe read through the case files carefully with a learning attitude and found that the case files submitted by Xunlin County were indeed more clearly organized than those submitted by other counties, with detailed judgment items and flexible handling of matters.

He is indeed a talented person, no wonder he is unwilling to be inferior to others.

Of course, he also saw the case file that Lin Zhaotang had mentioned before, which was deliberately delayed and detained by the county magistrate and had not been sent for review for a long time.

They were indeed unimportant cases. It seemed that although the county magistrate had some ulterior motives, he still had some integrity and ultimately did not dare to delay official business.

Qin Yunhe flipped through them one by one and finally came to the case file of Fuyu County.

After all, it was the case file of his own county, so Qin Yunhe flipped through it much more slowly.

Most of the case files involved conflicts between neighbors over fields and livestock, and private fights and injuries, which were not much different from those in other counties.

It was not until he turned the page that Qin Yunhe's pupils trembled slightly and he was very surprised.

"Jin Yanshi's case of adultery, fleeing and murdering her husband"

How can it be!

Is Yan Guixiang crazy?

It would be fine if she embezzled the Jin family's finances, but how could she have murdered her own husband?

Although she despised and hated this person, Qin Yunhe didn't believe that she murdered her husband.

At best, she is greedy, materialistic and vulgar.

Even though he looked down on Qin Yunhe in his previous life, he was only harsh with words and finally ran away with the money.

There was absolutely no act of murdering her husband.

In this life, she married Jin Biao, and not only did she have no worries about food and clothing, but she also lived the life of a lady she had always dreamed of.

Rumor has it that Jin Biao was deeply in love with her. When she was ill, he sought medical treatment and searched for delicious food for her just so that she could eat something.

Even if she was ruthless to Jin Biao, or even if she looked down on Jin Biao, she wouldn't want to murder her own husband, right?

Besides, since she had already run away with the financial resources, why would she come back specifically to murder Jin Biao?

If it was said that Jin Biao murdered Yan Guixiang, Qin Yunhe would believe it more.

Did Yan Guixiang murder Jin Biao?

No, that's definitely not right.

Considering Jinbiao's working style, there must be something fishy about this.

And the word "adulterer" is not right. The so-called adulterer is actually Yan Guixiang's cousin.

But Qin Yunhe knew that this so-called cousin was actually Yan Guixiang's biological brother.

And Yan Guixiang might not even have the chance to meet the so-called adulterer in her previous life in this life.

Qin Yunhe read the final verdict: eighty strokes of the cane and death by hanging.

After being beaten with eighty sticks, it is unknown whether the person is still alive, and he will be hanged afterwards.

When Liu Dianshi saw Qin Yunhe staring at a page in the case file with a frown on his face and deep in thought, he suddenly felt a little nervous.

"My lord, what's wrong?"

Qin Yunhe said: "This 'Jin Yanshi adultery, escape and murder of her husband' case is temporarily dismissed. This official has doubts."
