Ministry of Punishment.

The Xingbu Yamen is located outside the west wall of the palace.

It is adjacent to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion on the left, the Governor's Office on the right, and the Dali Temple on the opposite side.

The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of criminal cases across the country, and is in charge of punishment and prisons. It is divided into six divisions, and departments are established according to provinces, with a total of 17 provincial divisions.

Zhang Heng died in the capital, and he happened to be the head of the Zhili Division. This case was naturally handled by the Zhili Division.

That afternoon, Yang Ci, a doctor in the Zhili Division, was working in the public house, but he heard an official report that someone wanted to see him, saying that there was important evidence about Zhang Heng to report.

Yang Ci was slightly confused.

Why would someone come to the Ministry of Punishment to report evidence? This is not the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen or the Liangjing County Yamen.

Moreover, the Zhang Heng case does not require evidence at all.

Qian Shilang is so eloquent, why do you need evidence?

After thinking for a moment, Yang Ci still ordered the man to come in.

The person who came was an extraordinary-looking young man. Yang Ci saw that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, so he chuckled and asked: "Young man, do you know where I am here?"

The young man said: "Junior Wang Huhu, I only know that this is the place where criminal laws are enshrined for the world."

Haha, so naive.

Yang Ci then asked: "Are you here to claim that you have evidence to report?"

"Yes, this junior is here to report Zhang Heng." Wang smiled and said, "Zhang Heng once defrauded me of one hundred taels of silver."

Yang Ci raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Really?"

Wang Xiao's face straightened up, and he opened his mouth and started talking nonsense: "Five days ago, Wen Youde, the shopkeeper of the Wen family in the north of the city, took over my family's land and beat my father to death. The case was sent to the Ministry of Punishment, and was handled by Zhang Heng.

He asked me to give him a hundred taels, saying he could handle it for me. But I went to look for him today, but couldn’t find him."

Yang Ci raised his eyebrows, but he knew about this case.

It was obviously Wen Youde who sent one hundred taels of silver here, but it is still kept at his home.

In addition, I clearly heard that the suffering master was an old farmer and penniless... Why did the suffering master give a hundred taels as a gift?

In short, this Zhang Heng eats both sides and will die well!

He took a look at the young man in front of him and said to himself: "Oh, it turns out there is not evidence of the case of 'Zhang Heng is dead', but there is evidence of 'Zhang Heng's corruption' to be reported."

Yang Ci frowned and said, "The Criminal Department can't handle your matter now. Zhang Heng is dead."

Wang Xiao was shocked and said in surprise: "Then my one hundred taels of silver are gone?"

Yang Ci was impatient and waved his hand: "You can go, now that the person is dead, who will care about such trivial matters like yours."

Wang Xiao refused to leave, saying: "I know who killed Zhang Heng. It must have been Wen Youde who saw that he had accepted money from me and was dissatisfied with him for accepting money from both sides, so he killed him."

Yang Ci cursed: "Shut up! Get out!"

"But……"

"No but, I tell you that this case was decided by senior officials above. If you, an ignorant junior, dare to say anything outside, be careful with your life! Get out, shut up and stay quiet."

As Yang Ci drank like this, he became impatient in his heart.

That boy Zhang Heng was so arrogant and arrogant that he was very annoying. It would be a good time to die now. As for the murderer Wang Zhen, Qian Shilang personally told him that there should be no more extraneous matters.

At this time, such a young boy came up, and he had to be frightened.

Wang smiled and said: "As an official of the Ministry of Punishment, now someone is dead, why are you afraid to avoid it when you encounter clues?"

Yang Ci's expression changed, and he became furious. He cursed, "I want you to teach me how to do it, but you can't do it?!"

Wang smiled and said: "My lord, don't you doubt that I killed Zhang Heng?"

Official Yang Ci shook his head, turned around and shouted: "Come here, take this kid out. Check the concierge carefully. I want to see how this lunatic got in."

Wang smiled and said, "I might as well tell you that I bribed the concierge to come in."

Yang Ci was stunned.

So what if you come in?!

The next moment, Wang Xiao suddenly picked up the teacup on the table and hit Yang Ci hard on the head!

"Dang" sounded loudly.

Yang Ci couldn’t believe it!

At the feet of the Emperor, on the side of the palace, in the public room of the Ministry of Punishment. He was a top five ranker, an official in court. He was actually hit on the head!

There are such murderers in the world!

He felt a heat on his forehead, and then a stream of heat flowed down to his eyebrows, and his vision turned dark red.

Yang Ci was a civil servant. He had been born into a scholarly family and had never been beaten in his life. He couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.

Wang Xiao stood up and walked to Yang Ci's desk. His eyes were like a torch, scanning over the official documents one after another.

"How dare you hit me?!"

Yang Ci shouted and rushed towards him.

Wang Xiao suddenly kicked him to the ground, then raised his fist to hit him.

"Madman, murderer!"

Yang Ci kept screaming and felt the pain from the beating.

The door was pushed open with a "bang" sound.

A group of officials rushed forward and finally separated Wang Xiao and Yang Ci.

"Catch this crazy boy..."

"Put him in jail! I will personally execute him!"

Yang Ci shouted hysterically, and when he touched his forehead with his hand, his hand was filled with blood.

"Blood! I'm bleeding, come on, please ask the doctor to treat me..."——

On the official road, a group of people surrounded the carriage.

"Get started!" Qian Cheng roared angrily.

His face was red with anger, but he did not dare to step forward.

The servants and guards around him were also on guard, but they didn't dare to do it even if they wanted to.

Qin Xuance rested his head on his hands, lay on his back on the carriage shaft, and shouted, "Oh, my waist was injured by you and I can't get up."

Qian Cheng was so angry that he pointed at Qin Xuance's finger until it trembled with rage.

"Obviously it was you who hit me!"

After being hit and beaten and scolded, the son of the Minister of Punishment was helpless for a moment, so he could only ask Zuo Mingxin softly: "How about you, Mingxin, come down and we can change a carriage?"

Zuo Mingxin turned around and saw Qin Xuance lying in front of the carriage. If he wanted to get out, he had to step over him.

This is of course absolutely impossible.

She then asked Zuo Mingjing and Song Laner: "What do you think... what should we do?"

Song Laner was a little stunned.

Zuo Mingxin thought she was frightened, so he turned around and followed Song Laner's gaze, only to see Qin Xuance with his hands raised, showing a figure with broad shoulders and arms and waist, and his clothes were stretched out over his chest and waist.

The thick and strong muscle lines on the arms...

She blushed and secretly thought that Song Laner was very brave.

"We can't get out..." Zuo Mingxin could only say.

When Qian Cheng heard this, he stamped his feet angrily and said to Qin Xuance, "Get down here!"

"Ouch, my back hurts." Qin Xuance shouted rather perfunctorily. He had a piece of grass in his mouth and looked quite leisurely.

Suddenly someone asked: "What's wrong with you? Why are you humming?"

Qin Xuance turned around and saw Geng Dang riding over and looking at him with concern.

"You're here, you're so slow." Qin Xuance said, "I was beaten by them and injured. I can't ride the horse anymore."

Geng Dang was startled. He glared at Qian Cheng and others and cursed: "Why did you hit my friend?"

"Hey, where did that cricket come from? Please figure it out. He beat us and stayed in our car."

Geng Dang scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed.
