In the clean and tidy prison cell, Wen Zhiyuan curled up into a ball and squatted in the corner, staring at the oil lamp on the table in a daze. He was indifferent when he heard the sound outside, and he didn't look away until the door of his cell was opened, and he saw the advanced coming in The imperial guards and the palace servants behind them stood up as if rebounding, and tidied their hair and prison uniforms in a panic.

Although he was taken back from Taiju County, Aunt Chengting took good care of him all the time, but after all, he was in a prison car, not to mention wandering all the way, and his eyes were getting darker day by day. I will come to see him, but I didn't expect that it was His Majesty who came first.

Shi Min walked along the way and checked the other cells. Compared with the last time he came to check the torture tools, there were fewer people in the cells, and they were indeed much cleaner and tidy. Square table and toilet.

In this feudal era, it is useless to talk about people and rights, and Shi Min is too lazy to talk nonsense, so he directly improved the existing "Prison Cell Law", changed it to "Prison Cell Management Law" and promulgated it nationwide in time.

According to the new management law, the cells and prisons of all government offices across the country must be clean and tidy, and the prisoners must be equipped with daily necessities such as beds, tables, and toilets. The last meal before the meal must have three meats, two vegetables and one soup. Those who drink will be given a catty of wine, rice or steamed buns.

The prisons and prisons in Fandu are regularly or irregularly inspected by the Inspectorate, and the local government’s prisons and prisons are regularly or irregularly inspected by the local inspectorate. Punish according to the law, and the chief executive of the government office shall be jointly and severally liable.

As for the meals, hygiene maintenance, cleaning of clothes and quilts in the cells, emptying the toilets and cleaning the toilets, etc., the prisoners take turns to do it, and the prison guards are responsible for supervision and management.The perfected management law is more humane and more detailed and perfect. Not only do prisoners have laws to follow, but prison officials can also be rewarded or punished according to law.

Under the illumination of the palace lantern carried by the palace attendant, Wen Zhiyuan saw the figure in the purple cloak getting closer, but his head lowered lower and lower in shame. When he saw the black boots coming in, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Sinner." Wen Zhiyuan respectfully invites His Majesty Shengan."

Shi Min sat on the chair prepared by the palace attendant in advance, and looked at his cousin in prison uniform, although his face was pale and his beard was unshaven, but his hair and clothes were neat and clean. He must have suffered a lot along the way, as if he was ten years old. Compared with the farewell time back then, they looked like different people, and this was probably the result of Cheng Ting's extra care.

"I remember how high-spirited and vigorous I was when I sent you to the post. The handsome young man was like a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath. However, more than three years have turned you into this appearance. Is it because I gave you too little salary? Or is it your culture?" The family has no money? Is it not easy to be a future assistant? You are so greedy!" Shi Min asked sadly.

Although she seldom calls him cousin Wen Zhiyuan, she is still a family in her heart, not to mention that she is much older than him in her heart, and has long regarded him as a cousin, but now something like this happened, Even if he hates that iron cannot be made into steel, he is also angry that his willpower is not firm, and he is not tempted.

Shi Min's voice of questioning was like whips and stones thrown on Wen Zhiyuan's body, which made him miserable. He knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise his head. He choked up and said, "Your Majesty's salary is quite a lot, and the family's protection from His Majesty is also counted." The family of Xungui Yuqing, there is no reason why it is wrong to serve as a nobleman. It is a criminal minister who was fascinated by ghosts for a while. Now he has made a big mistake, and it is too late to regret. However, the fault is all on the criminal minister and has nothing to do with his family. Please also please Your Majesty Severely punish a guilty official according to the law, and rectify the law of the Hua Dynasty, and restore the world's clarity."

What I thought in my heart was, "The guilty minister is really not short of money. At the beginning, he wanted to do some practical things for the people as His Majesty said at the beginning, but the local gentry's methods were so clever that he made a wrong step. Being stuck in the quagmire and unable to get out, there will be a day sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, it was too late to regret, the guilty minister only wanted to die quickly, in the name of the whole parents Wenfu'.

What Wen Zhiyuan was thinking in his heart, Shi Min could see clearly why he made a wrong move, and she also knew that there were many ways to deal with the wrong first step, but he chose to compromise and went all the way to the dark , no matter what the reason was at the beginning, most of the responsibility up to now is still on him, no wonder others.

Shi Min said: "People, after all, have to be responsible for their own actions. Even I am no exception, and the risks I bear are even greater. Don't worry, I will not get involved indiscriminately, but the one who deserves to be punished should not even think about running away." , take care of yourself. Go back to the palace!"

When the person saw it, although she was a bit decadent, she had a good mental outlook, and she didn't cry for grievances to refute, which shows that the facts of the crime are clear, and she has no reason to stay for a long time.

Although Wen Zhiyuan made a big mistake, his attitude of admitting his mistakes was acceptable, and he knew that he was a bit bloody in defending the Wen family. No matter what the final result was, Shi Min didn't want him to be poor in food and clothing, so he made a point of confessing when he left.

The next day in Xiumu, Shi Min got up early and read the last instructions of the ancestors. He went to the Wenxuan Hall to offer incense to the Empress Dowager and burn some paper money. Wash the palace, review secret letters and memorials.

After finishing the work, it was afternoon application time, Shi Min had just changed into casual clothes and was about to leave the palace, when a palace attendant came to report that the Queen Mother had summoned him, so he had to divert to Anren Palace.

"Mother and Empress Wanfu Jin'an" Shi Min saw the elder aunt and Er Mian kneeling on the ground as soon as he entered the hall, but only the elder aunt was missing, and he immediately understood what was going on.

The husband of the Wen family and Er Mian hurriedly saluted and said, "Respectfully, Your Majesty, please give me peace."

"Here you go, sit down, what are you going to do about Zhiyuan's child?" Wen Yu looked sad. If her brother-in-law hadn't told her today, she would have been kept in the dark. She didn't fall behind in every issue, and there were quite a few corrupt officials dealt with by her superiors, and there were quite a few senior officials who were implicated and convicted. They were all sentenced according to the law, so they were quite popular among the people.

One of the reasons why Shi Min wants to start a new daily is that closed cases, especially typical cases and corrupt officials, must be published in the newspaper. Firstly, it will deter officials all over the country. It is up to anyone to add or subtract.

By the way, develop a good habit of paying attention to national affairs across the country, let them have a sense of participation, and better stimulate everyone's patriotism.

Shi Min said: "My uncle is free of courtesy, Er Mian, get up, come and give me a seat."

The husband of the Wen family pulled Er Mian up and sat down on the lower left seat. Just now, Wen Yu asked them to get up, but they didn't move. He also forced the queen mother not to agree to intercede, so Wen Yu had no choice but to let someone pass the stone忞.

In fact, Wen Yu doesn't really like to take care of these things, and she's not afraid of being persecuted, but after all, she is a family member, and after all, she watched Wen Zhiyuan grow up, and she likes it quite a bit. I can assure you, I will do my best.

Seeing that the two sat down as promised, Shi Min turned his head and replied: "My queen, my cousin's case has been arranged, and it is estimated that there will be three joint trials in two days. At that time, I will have my own conclusion. Please rest assured, my mother, there will never be any Wrong him."

"That's good, you've all heard it, the three trials will never let him be wronged." Wen Yu was relieved, but the latter words were said to the husband of the Wen family and the others.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Queen Mother. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave." The master of the Wen family understands that after all, the mother will take the surname Wen, and after all, he will still protect his child more, just like him, and he will not believe that his child has become a child. Corrupt officials.

Wen Yu said: "Go down, Er Mian stays here, I haven't entered the palace for a long time, and I will go back after dinner in the palace today."

The husband of the Wen family saluted and retreated. Wen Zhimian, who was exceptionally quiet today, stayed as he said, but he was too cautious to get close to Wen Yu and Shi Min as usual. Too many things happened recently. Her brother's title of noble son, and later came to pass a decree to make her Marquis Wen. Her brother was doing well as a county magistrate in Taiju County, why was he suddenly deprived of his title of noble son?

She was so confused, she went to ask her father, but his father kept telling her to be more restrained in the future, stop mixing with those cronies, and stop doing stupid things in the name of the royal family and the reputation of the mansion, and told her not to enter the palace in the future As an official, An Anxin would just be an idle nobleman, but she would not answer any questions she asked.

She had no choice but to muster up the courage to ask her mother. What surprised her was that her mother, who was always quiet and strict, told her a lot that night. She also understood the general reason. Hearing her mother, she estimated that her brother would die. At that moment, she was really frightened, and she didn't recover for a while.

She asked her mother, aren't they relatives of the emperor?My brother grew up with the emperor's cousin, and was also her reading companion, so how could he have the heart to do it?Isn't it embezzlement of money?Can't they go back?

In the end, her mother scolded her instead. It is true that they are relatives of the emperor, but it does not mean that they can be lawless with this status. His Majesty said before implementing the New Deal that anyone who obstructs the New Deal will be her enemy. Her brother is on the political side, and it's fine if he doesn't seek the well-being of the people, but also oppresses the people in vain, what's the point of killing uncles?

She has never been afraid of anything since she was a child, and she doesn't know what it feels like to be afraid. When she was scolded by her mother, she knew that she was really afraid, because the royal relatives would die if they violated the law, and she was even more afraid that her mother would give up. Just as resolutely as my brother, I gave up on her.

So she's been very good recently. Her parents let her study at home, and she doesn't play with anyone she's not allowed to play with. It wasn't until this morning that her father dragged her out that she knew that her brother had been escorted back.

When she saw her brother in the prison, she almost didn't recognize him. He didn't look like the one when we parted. It seemed that the stone eroded by the years had changed. She cried out sadly and asked loudly, but my brother looked like Kneeling in front of her father like a kowtowing machine, she kept repenting. She couldn't stand the atmosphere, and finally ran back to the carriage by herself, crying silently. ?
