Different from the previous situation when Zhao Zhen smiled and awarded Xia Song a reward, now Zhao Zhen's face was so dark that it might drip with ink. The gentle and elegant Zhao Zhen actually had such a strong side, which really frightened all the officials.

Zhao Zhen has no other reason, but he has been suppressed by these civil servants for too long. Although he has to take his reputation into consideration when he takes action now, he does not want anyone to restrict him, and he even wants to enjoy the pleasure brought by this kind of power!

If it was said that conferring a royal decree on Xia Song's daughter was a favor to their family, then when the case on Jingdong Road is brought up now, it means that they are nakedly standing up for Xia Song!

When did Xia Song actually get the favor of the officials? This fat guy had only been in Beijing for a short time, and he had used tricks to confuse the officials. If this situation continues, will the official family's eternal reputation be lost?

The court is not a government office, it is a place where military and state affairs are reviewed. If all cases are moved here, what will the court become? Where is its prestige?

But who dares to come forward now? Jia Chaochang, who has the most noble status and the most powerful voice, has become the bastard. Since he offended Zhao Zhen after the last night banquet, he has long lost the arrogance of the past. Instead, he is extremely hostile to Zhao Zhen's proposals.

support.

There is not even half of a scholar's character here. His moral integrity has gone to hell. In order to keep his official position, he went to the Empress Dowager Liu to flatter him, and bowed to power for the sake of wealth. When did the scholars of the Song Dynasty become the lackeys of the emperor?

, so contemptible?

But what's the use of complaining? It's really stupid to go against the officials! Fan Zhongyan was not strong back then, but he was strong against a ruthless person like Liu E. What was the result? He was sent to the Western Army to eat dirt, if not

Those poor Dangxiang people in Xixia can't bear it anymore. If they can't protect themselves, they will have to drink the northwest wind for many years.

Has Fan Zhongyan changed since he came back? Completely changed! He is no longer the stupid boy he was back then. Although he can say something when he wants, he still tries to persuade him in a roundabout way, and he is no longer as explosive as he was back then!

Alas, the atmosphere of the previous dynasty when Mr. Kou was there is gone forever!

Many people in the DPRK know who the officials on Jingdong Road are, and the fact that Jingdong Road has not been peaceful in the past two years is also known to many important officials in the DPRK. The reason why they turn a blind eye is that they are afraid of harming their own interests.

When chaos breaks out, those who serve as soldiers will be profitable. The Western Army was originally going to return to Nanshan, but now it's better. Not only does it still have a place to use, but it may also have to reshuffle the situation on Jingdong Road!

Another important point is that there are too many Jia Chaochang people stationed on Jingdong Road. Every time Pingzhang takes office, he does not arrange for his students to go somewhere to make some extra money. There are so many people watching at the emperor's feet. Whatever he does, there is a large group of Yushitai.

The flies are following behind and doing crazy damage, and you can’t even collect the money as fast as you want!

No one wants to pay attention to it, let alone have the ability to pay attention to it. Many people have already sensed the storm before the change of old and new power. If they are asked to take sides, they will choose the new force!

The new force is represented by Zhao Zhen! It is represented by Xia Song, the main war faction promoted by Zhao Zhen. Although Zhao Zhen is benevolent, he also has great ambitions. He has long been disgusted by these corrupt civil servants in the imperial court. Smart people

People have already seen this!

Huang Chengliang, the person in charge of the Civil Service Court, stood up.

This group of people generally rarely participate in discussions in the court, because apart from discussing cases, they generally have no say. How many major cases in the court throughout the year can be brought to this occasion to discuss matters?

Huang Chengliang is also a bit chubby and has small eyes, which makes it difficult for people to guess the little secrets hidden in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the Jingdong Road gangster Luo Yidao brought by Liang Chuan has been jointly interrogated by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and under the supervision of the Yushitai, the case has been initially concluded."

Zhao Zhen glanced at Huang Chengliang with interest. Because of Xia Song, he now felt close to the fat man. It is said that he is fat and has a broad heart, and he judges people by their appearance.

Huang Chengliang didn't dare to look up at Zhao Zhen, but he heard Zhao Zhen say: "Oh? Please present the result quickly!"

Huang Chengliang knew Zhao Zhen's expression without looking at it. The result he wanted to know was definitely not the result he wanted to hand in now! Huang Chengliang's scalp was a little numb, and he was holding the wat board in his hand and didn't know whether to say it or not!

All the officials in the court also lowered their heads and waited for the news about Huang Chengliang. Who would have thought that this fat man stayed in place like a stone and remained silent for a long time. Why are you making a fool of yourself by standing up without saying a word?

"Huh?" Zhao Zhen's voice suddenly rose by two points. Huang Chengliang's reaction was a bit strange. Usually at this time, something would go wrong that he didn't want to see!

As expected, Huang Chengliang made up his mind and then gritted his teeth and reported: "I reported to the officials that the gangster Luo Yidao was already in a coma when he was brought to the Ministry of Punishment because of his severe injuries. Later, he died for a long time because the medicine and stone failed.

Failed to obtain useful information!"

Dead!

You just killed such an important and key figure like this?

Jia Chaochang's lips raised a smile inadvertently. This result was naturally what he wanted, and he had brought it about. No matter what he said in the result, it was he and the unclean officials on Jingdong Road who suffered the loss. Now,

He died a hundred times, just what he wanted!

He had already bribed the people in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, and had tampered with the medicine, increasing or decreasing the amount of the medicine. People died inexplicably, and no one could blame him!

The corner of Xia Song's mouth also raised, not a smile, but a sneer!

This is a good trick played by Jia Chaochang! You don’t have to think about it to know that there is a shady story. After killing people, he thought he could seal everyone’s mouths? Zhao Zhen was about to attack them, but he was just being clever.

To kill people and silence them, doesn’t this mean that there is no silver in this place?

There’s another good show to watch!

As soon as Huang Chengliang said that this gangster died in prison, the officials stopped working. Wasn't he clearly treating them as fools?

The censors at the Censorship Station are even more annoyed. What do you Huang Chengliang mean? You even brought us up when you were talking. What do you mean that the guy died under our supervision? Is this a human saying? Isn’t it the same as saying

We watched him die with our eyes open? In other words, it was us who did it?

Damn you!

Don't think that your court of punishment has the right to report to the emperor, so you can just sit on our heads and shit! Our Yushitai has never been afraid of anyone!

The trial court of the Song Dynasty was very special.

In the early Song Dynasty, in order to strengthen the control over the central judicial organs, a separate trial court was established in the imperial palace. The Song Dynasty also tried various methods to decentralize power. Financial power was divided into military power, and even judicial power was divided! All matters that needed to be reported to the emperor were divided.

After the case was settled in Dali Temple, it was reported to the Criminal Court for review. The magistrates and detailed review officials prepared a final draft, which was reported to the emperor for a final decision through Zhongshu Sheng.

It turns out that there were two institutions that tried the case, one was the Ministry of Punishment and the other was the Dali Temple, with the Yushitai supervising behind them. This model was used for hundreds of years. In the Song Dynasty, a trial court came to ride on their heads.

, after checking and deliberation, and then handing it over to the officials for review, it is equivalent to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple becoming the underlings.

The Yushitai is different. They have to watch these judicial organs not act randomly, but they have the power themselves, that is, they can attack anyone they see unhappy. Failure to attack them is dereliction of duty! They are different from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

If people mess around with them, they will still spray!

"Absurd! That man was brought back from Jingdong Road. The journey to Jingdong Road was almost a thousand miles, and he had to trek through mountains and rivers for dozens of days. It was also the hot summer day. The man committed the crime on the road.

Why didn't he die, and when it was time for you to examine the case, the person died inexplicably? Do you think we are three-year-old children who are easy to fool?"

Jiang Qi from Yushitai has a bad temper. He is not afraid of Huang Chengliang, the dean of the trial. What about the dean? He has no power at hand, so what is there to be afraid of?

The case that comes to their trial court is just for them to enjoy, but in fact, they can't take any control at all. Huang Chengliang is also unlucky. The case has nothing to do with him, but it has to be read out from his mouth!

The problem still lies with the Ministry of Punishment!

Under the strange eyes of everyone, Tan Bocang, the Minister of Punishment, stood up without fear. This matter really had nothing to do with him. It was true that he was in charge of people in his work unit, but he was also a decent person. Someone came to him

I came here to say hello, but he ignored me.

It is said that Tan Bocang's wife is a descendant of Zhang Jiuling, the famous Tang Dynasty prime minister. She has eight sons, which can be regarded as a prosperous family. It is said that the descendants of Mr. Tan have multiplied to more than one million in the contemporary era.

Tan Bocang straightened his back and his voice was louder than Jiang Qi's: "The prisoner was seriously injured and his legs were broken. He relied on medicine to hold his breath all the way from Jingdong Road to the Bianjing Penal Department Prison. What is the Penal Department?"

This place, the place where the custodian is imprisoned is not a royal hospital with a hanging pot to save the world, and there are no clever doctors waiting for treatment. This man is sure to die in one breath and let the Lord of Hell take it away. Who can blame him?"

Tan Bocang didn't know the secret behind this, and thought that God would take away Luo Yida when the time came, otherwise he would never say such a thing.

"Master Tan, it is your ministry's duty to look after important criminals. You actually shirk the responsibility to the Lord of Hell. This is so irresponsible!"

Jiang Qi retorted sarcastically.

"Mr. Jiang, you don't have to confront me in this tone. Justice belongs to the people. If you think there is something fishy here, you can send someone to investigate. Luo Yidao's corpse is still waiting in the morgue of the Ministry of Punishment.

, open the test at will!”

Zhao Zhen was also annoyed. These people really didn't take him seriously. He had ordered a thorough investigation into this matter, but they actually dared to kill him and silence him!

"What's going on with Tan Aiqing? The Ministry of Punishment is so ineffective now? Is there something wrong with the regulations of the Ministry of Punishment?"

Tan Bocang also said: "Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment said that although the local conditions are a bit poor, there are hundreds of capable government officials, who are responsible for three meals, cleaning, diagnosis and treatment, and most of them are responsible for care, ensuring that everything is in order. It is used by prisoners.
