Chapter fifty-six Yamen awaiting trial
The Imperial Courtyard is on the east side of the outer city, and the government office is five miles away from Xinzheng Gate.
Because it basically manages ordinary people, it is easier to do things in the outer city.
The official offices of the Imperial Courtyard occupy a considerable area, with a total of about 30 acres.
Almost all important institutions of the Imperial Courtyard are gathered here, such as the official houses, household houses, punishment houses, workshops, military houses, ceremony houses, etc., which are imitated by the Six Ministry.
In addition, there are also warehouses, warehouses, publicity departments, tax departments, inspection and schools, and other services, which are also gathered here.
Among them, the police yamen belongs to the torture room, which includes its affiliated prison, occupying fifteen acres.
Of course, there are more than one police yamen in the capital. There are more than a dozen cases in the southeast, west and north. On weekdays, you can deal with them directly, just like the surrounding prefectures and counties.
Only difficult and complicated cases, major cases, and strange cases will be sent to the General Office here.
Although the Imperial Capital Mansion has been peaceful for a long time, due to the strictness of the prefect Miao Yan, there are not a few hundred or eighty prisoners transferred from the lower area every day. The people on this road have long been exhausted.
So Liu Mingqi and others walked along the way, but there was no discussion, and no one pointed at him by the side of the road, which made the boy a little bored.
He was originally thinking that he would spread his kindness today just by doing this scene.
At this time, Lu Gui had already brought a group of brothers to Liu Mingqi's side. Several men were covered with cloth strips and were carried away by stretchers.
When they arrived at the gate of the police yamen, the group walked in. Only then did Liu Mingqi realize that this place was different from the one on TV.
The door of the case trial court on TV opens the roadside, and people can crowd around the roadside to watch the prisoners being tried.
However, the case trial court of Dakang Dynasty had to pass through a paper-shaped wing room, and then the court of interrogating prisoners.
Moreover, there are more than one court, and the twelve large houses surrounded by semicircles are all court trial courts.
Otherwise, the Imperial Capital Mansion would be in charge of the punishment of more than three million people, and even if there were still yamen in the surrounding prefectures and counties under it, but as the general manager, you only have one to interrogate major cases and major cases. Wouldn’t you have to wait until the end of time?
Now most of the case trial courts are closed, obviously in the process of deciding the case.
A group of officials were talking about something in the open space outside the court. When they saw Liu Mingqi and others coming, they quickly saluted.
"I have met His Highness Prince Yu and Prince Beixiong."
"No gift."
Liu Mingqi smiled, "Sir, who will you try my case?"
An old official with long beard face bowed and said, "Because it involves nobles and royal families, we are not qualified to interrogate. We have already informed Lord Miao, and he will arrive later."
Liu Mingqi knew it, but he still asked: "Is Lord Miao so idle? He will come to personally investigate any case of royal family and nobles? Isn't he in charge of the food, drink, defecation and punishment of more than three million people, and the people's livelihood?"
"Mr. Miao is indeed carrying heavy burdens, but on weekdays everyone performs their own duties and has their own national laws and regulations to follow. So what really needs to work for him is only some important and sudden things." The old official with a long beard face explained patiently: "And Mr. Miao is extremely efficient in handling matters, especially in case trials, which have tried more than thirty cases a day!"
"Oh, that's really amazing."
The boy expressed his admiration.
Science men like to be serious.
When I watched TV series in my previous life, I often saw people bragging about my adults who solved the case in one day, and Liu Mingqi couldn't help but want to laugh.
Is the screenwriter who writes these lines full of grasshoppers in his mind?
Take six hours of working day, that is, twelve hours to calculate, and one hundred cases are settled a day, and on average, each case can only take seven minutes.
What is seven minutes?
Basically, both parties (or only one party) make their own affairs clear, and the time is almost done - a case statement is not a slap, you can speak up and down, and spit out hundreds of words in a minute or two.
The staff, coroners, witnesses, etc., don’t talk anymore.
Entry and exit cannot be counted as time, the presiding staff cannot rest, eat, drink, defecate and urinate.
If an official wants to prepare for a hundred cases, the time spent on the previous case investigation, inquiry, etc. will not be less than one hundred hours, right? Then he has to spend more than four days preparing, and he must sleeplessly and commute 24 hours a day.
Isn't this ridiculous?
It’s not like that!
Even if you can spend 18 hours on one day to try a case, a hundred cases will be impossible.
Unless you look at the case and have no questions or verification, you will be punished after reading it.
If you do this, you will not be called a detective, but a humiliating official!
Therefore, it is already very good to have people like Miao Yan who can make thirty cases a day.
This is the real one.
While the two were talking, a younger official couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, do you really confirm that you can win? My master is famous for not recognizing others, only recognizing right and wrong! Even if the children of the royal family commit crimes and are beaten to his bones, there are many people who are sentenced to labor."
"Is there anyone beheaded?" Liu Mingqi asked excitedly.
The young official was startled and then smiled awkwardly: "How is this possible? According to the imperial court laws, anyone with such a plot must be handed over to the clan's mansion, and they cannot die."
That's true.
If the prince's brother-in-law had not done too much last time and dared to gather people to resist, he might not have to die in the end.
However, Liu Mingqi has also heard that Miao Yan has a very heavy board. In recent years, he has been disabled by 7 noble children and 4 royal family members. As for those who have been beaten to the point of being beaten, there are countless people.
In the hearts of these playboys, Miao Yan is even more terrifying than King Su.
Looking back at the pale-faced Prince Beixiong Hou, Liu Mingqi raised her voice: "Things are not that absolute. For example, today, you should be able to kill a bastard."
After entering the Imperial Courtyard, Mr. Beixiong was already scared. After hearing Liu Mingqi's words, he shivered all over and rushed to Liu Mingqi's feet and started crying.
"Your Highness, I was wrong! I was really wrong! You spare me! I...I don't want to die..."
The vicious and mighty playboy just now looked quite aggrieved.
"Get out!" Liu Mingqi kicked him away, "Little kid, you're done today! I'll tell you, you're dead!!"
“Woo woo woo woo…”
Prince Beixiong Hou was so scared that he could only cry.
"My son! My son!"
At this moment, anxious screams came, and then a middle-aged man rushed in and hugged the already limp Young Master Beixiong.
When Prince Beixiong saw him, he cried even louder, "Dad, Dad, save me quickly! Save me! I don't want to die!"
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid...I'm not afraid...Dad will not let you die!" The middle-aged man's tone slowed down, comforting him for a while, and then he controlled his son's emotions.
He hugged his son and snuggled up to the wooden pillar next to him. The middle-aged man turned around and looked at Liu Mingqi.
This middle-aged man is naturally Wu Zhou, the Marquis of Beixiong. He looks more powerful than his son, but his eyes are faintly violent. A flash of resentment flashed through his eyes when he looked at Liu Mingqi.
He forced himself to calm his mind and said respectfully: "Your Highness..."
"What did you do!?"
Liu Mingqi interrupted him directly, pointed to a group of officials from the Imperial Court Office and scolded: "Is it the important yamen that makes irrelevant people trespass? You are dereliction of duty! I want to report you to Lord Miao!"
A group of officials looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Prince Yu was right, but when it was executed, it was not so rigid.
The official who had just talked to Liu Mingqi bowed and said, "Your Highness..."
"Don't talk nonsense, send someone to give me this person out!" Liu Mingqi waved her hand like a flies, and didn't even look at Beixiong Hou.
Wu Zhou was so angry that Qi Kong smoked, "You..."
"Get out of here!" Liu Mingqi suddenly stared at him, her eyes full of oppression: "You dare to make a decision on the business of our Prince Yu's Mansion, and you dare to hurt people and bully the people. The faces of nobles have been thrown away by you! Why are you still standing here? If I am you, I will kill you!"
"I...I..."
Wu Zhou was so angry that he wanted to come forward to argue with him.
But suddenly a tall and mighty body stood up and stared at him fiercely.
Although Wu Zhou's father was commander of a fierce general at the border, he himself had never experienced a day of war, and he could only deal with the common people.
When you encounter a super fierce man like Dazhu, you will immediately wither.
He also understood that as long as he dared to push and rush, he would probably not be able to get out of this door today. Disrespect to the children of the royal family is a crime of disrespect. If it develops to the stage of taking action, even if it is killed on the spot, it will be absolutely impossible.
A group of officials stood up as the situation was deadlocked and hurried up to persuade Beixiong Hou.
"Mr. Marquis, just wait outside!"
"Come on, Marquis, please accompany you out!"
"If you don't go out, Lord Miao will come later, which will be bad for the little marquis!"
“…”
They said, and walked outside with Beixiong Hou.
Beixionghou himself also found a way out and left the court area half-swer.
But he began to panic.
He expected that Prince Yu was not old, but was so cruel and determined that he wanted to kill his son.
Even if Miao Yan will not be sentenced to death, a big bell is indispensable.
Is the board of the Imperial Court Office so easy to get?
Many noble children have been beaten for a month or two before getting out of bed, and there are even disabled people!
Thinking of this, Beixiong Hou secretly regretted it. Why did he agree to let his son go out to do this today?
...
There are quite a lot of holidays these days! Singles should work harder! I just became an adult this year, so it seems that I can also find a young lady to get out of single~~~
