Under the night, several carriages rushed towards Jurong County.

Outside the carriage were officers wearing blue clothes, a team of guards with dozens of people, and more than a dozen officials riding donkeys.

In a carriage, Bao Zhao and Zheng Ci sat opposite each other, and their faces were all in a difficult mood.

"The case of Zifang (Bao Zhao) looks simple, but there are actually many strange things?" Zheng Ci, the minister of Dali Temple, said.

Bao Zhao nodded, "I asked Wang Sanqiao personally, and I also looked at her lawsuit several times. It was said that she was deceived into the back of the Li family by Li Zilong, and then used a knife to press her back and forced her to rape her. But this was her own

The argument is not certified.”

"Yes, if no one testifies, such cases cannot be judged locally!" Zheng Ci also said, "If a woman is raped, it is believed that her clothes will be damaged and her body will be scarred, but Wang Si cleverly reports that

When I was an official, there was no difference in my body."

"It is said that the county magistrate recruited Li's name An to the hall, and the Li family said that their young master was not in the city. Then the county magistrate built a hall, and after an hour, the Li family gave Wang Siqiao money and asked him to change his words."

"According to the fact that the county magistrate decided to commit adultery in the temple!"

"There are usually nothing left in the end," Bao Zhao also sighed, "and many victims simply swallowed their anger and did not dare to report to the official."

"It would be fine if it was a rape case alone, but it would always be revealed after some effort. But Wang Sanqiao's complaint was sued by Jurong County, saying that he was in violation of personal gain and he was not distinguished from right and wrong, and that the good people were wronged.

It's not a minor crime!" Zheng Ci said.

At this time, Bao Zhao heard the other party’s implicit meaning and sighed, “If Wang Sanqiao really sued the emperor, this wouldn’t be a big deal. Just take Jurong County to trial.”

Zheng Ci smiled and said, "But the case was transferred to the emperor by Duke Cao, and the emperor asked the victim in person. Then there are many more steps to take."

To file a lawsuit is equivalent to going through many steps and procedures.

Especially when a civil servant suing an official, it is not a simple matter of opening his mouth, and there are more things to consider.

However, the emperor did not use the Jinyiwei to exercise imperial power, but asked the Dali Temple Ministry of Justice to public trial, so there was no intention.

"Actually, before leaving the capital, the emperor summoned me again." Bao Zhao said.

Zheng Ci hurriedly said, "What did Master Long live to say?" and hurriedly said, "If it is contrary to..."

"Why should Yan Jia be so careful? Haha, it's okay to talk to you." Bao Zhao smiled, "Long Sui told me that this case not only needs to be tried but also needs to be revealed in the world. The purpose is to set up another yamen afterwards.

.”

"Ah?" Zheng Ci was puzzled.

"The emperor said that from ancient times to the present, whether it is the Ministry of Justice or Dali Temple, it is mostly responsible for the people in the world. If the people want to sue the officials, it is very difficult. If the people do not procurate, the officials will not investigate, so they will protect each other."

"So the emperor's intention is to use this case as an introduction. Build a separate yamen for the officials of the world. In the future, all cases of civil servants suing officials will be decided by this yamen."

Zheng Ci was stunned. From ancient times to the present, kings and scholars shared the world, so how could such a government office be there?

"This... isn't the Censorate?"

"The Censorate has thirteen censors in the world!" Bao Zhao said, "But these censors have been in the local area for a long time, and it is inevitable that the world will be in trouble. Besides, when the people sue the officials, there are countless relationships behind the officials. Everyone

They are all officials, who would be willing to offend their colleagues for the sake of the people?"

"The Emperor also said that in fact, your Dali Temple and the Censorate have such responsibilities. But in recent years, unless someone complains to the emperor or the emperor opens a golden mouth, have you taken the initiative to investigate?"

"Even if you submit a memorial to impeach someone, you are probably more selfish than official business. And it is all about high-ranking officials, the affairs of the prefectures and counties. Who has mentioned half a word?"

Zheng Ci still had a slight understanding, but his back was cold.

Once such a yamen is built, it is like a knife hanging on the head of an official and can be dropped at any time.

"The emperor also said that perhaps building such a yamen cannot prevent the protection of unjust, false and wrong cases in the world, but it is better to have it. We cannot give the people ten thousand justice, at least let the people have a way to complain."

"Then... how to prepare for this yamen?" Zheng Ci asked.

Bao Zhao smiled and whispered.

"Zi Fang, can I still spread the word?" Zheng Ci was a little unhappy.

"It's okay for you to make a name for yourself." Bao Zhao smiled, "The Censor of Gangzheng was transferred from the Censorate, and then from the Jinyiwei, and the two were combined into one. He directly obeyed the orders of the emperor. If he met the people and sued the official, he would directly report to the emperor.

, there is no need for local officials during the trial, and all the yamen send people to send troops."

"This?" Zheng Ci thought for a moment, "Who will take responsibility?" As he said that, he paused, "I think this yamen put people on fire. Who dares to be the chief officer? Wouldn't he offend everyone in the world if he is the one who dares to be the chief officer?

Official?"

"I!" Bao Zhao smiled and restrained, "The Emperor said, let me do it." Then, he looked at Zheng Ci who was already stunned, "I also told the Emperor that I will take the initiative to be the tyrant son, who else can I do it."

His words were not emotionally volatile, but were full of decisiveness.

Also, be calm and upright!

When the emperor summoned him privately and told him about this, he thought that the yamen was set up for his violent son. He would rather not be the Minister of Justice than be the chief official of the yamen because he understood

One principle is that law governs the people with appropriate measures, and power depends on officials to supervise them.

Otherwise, if the law continues to be the amulet of the officials, and the power is the death talisman of the people.

This is where the country’s demise began in all dynasties!

He was so arrogant that he was honest and honest, and he was famous for his thrift and frugality.

The reason for this is that he was born in a poor farmer family, and he had heard and met much more scholars than those with wealthy backgrounds.

What he didn't know was that Zhu Yun's preference for him was also because of his reputation in history.

Those who were punished by Zhu Di were scolded until death and were extremely fierce.

The Ming Dynasty was not without good officials, nor did it have officials who dared to be the first in the world.

Instead, they didn't make a good start at the beginning, which made the bad officials rampant in the officialdom, and good officials never make a breakthrough, and in the end they could only join forces.

Many officials were originally from poor families, but after becoming officials, they immediately became spokespersons of the large landlords and their factions.

The sky is a little cloudy, and the sun hides behind the clouds.

The soldiers guarding the gate of Jurong County, just as they yawned, pushed open the city gate, they saw that there were already people standing outside the gate, and they were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide.

"Guan Guan Guan Guan Guan Guan..." The leader of the army was wearing the archer's military uniform, making a duck-like cry, urging the elders who had just opened the gap to close.

Then, he plucked up his courage to ask, "Who?"

Suddenly, his pupils tightened.

I saw a donkey coming down, and the man shook his cloak, revealing the costumes of the sixth-rank civil servant.

Bang!

The soldier was slapped and saw the official scolding, "You are blind, the chassis of the Ministry of Justice, Zheng Shaoqing of Dali Temple, dare to stop the frame of Zheng Shaoqing in the Dali Temple?"

The soldiers immediately fell to their knees.

At the city gate, the people who were getting up early and about to leave the city also knelt down, not daring to breathe.

Huh, a big flag spread out directly.

A letter was written, and the Ministry of Justice was ordered to investigate.
Chapter completed!
