The Xingbu Yamen is located on the east side of Zhenwusi, with only a wall separating it from Zhenwusi.
Even when Zhenwusi was first built, the prison of Zhenwusi was separated from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
However, the prison in the Xingbu Yamen is not the real prison of the Xingbu. It is at most a temporary detention center. The real prison of the Xingbu is outside Kyoto. It is called the Xingbu Prison and is the largest prison in Dali.
The prisons within the Ministry of Punishments only hold suspects who are under trial. If they are real criminals, they will be sent directly to the Prisons of the Ministry of Punishments.
There is also a prison in the Zhenwu Division, but it is also a temporary detention center. If the criminal is a criminal after trial, the Zhenwu Division must transfer him to the Ministry of Punishment.
Although the Zhenwu Division has the power to arrest, examine, and judge, it does not have the power to jail, and it does not have the right to detain criminals for a long time.
After seeing off Eunuch Lu, Qin Wei took Luo Jin and Xiao Shunzi to the Ministry of Punishment.
However, the person who received them was not the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, nor the left and right ministers, but a Yuanwailang from the fifth rank.
The foreign minister was very polite to Qin Wei, but he had no independent opinion in handling matters. He had to ask for instructions on every question. As a result, Qin Wei drank herbal tea in the Penal Department Yamen for more than an hour and treated the three martial arts masters just now.
The pardon order was issued.
After walking out of the Punishment Department, Luo Jin couldn't help but say: "The adults in the Punishment Department are really arrogant!"
The meaning of dissatisfaction is obvious.
But Qin Wei just smiled.
This Xingbu is not only arrogant, but simply looks down upon others.
Especially looking down on him as the commander of the Zhenwu Division.
When he went to Shuntian Mansion Yamen, at least Lu Tong personally came to receive him. When he came to the Xingbu Yamen, the Minister of Xingbu only arranged for a Yuanwailang to receive him.
However, Qin Wei estimated that the Minister of Punishment did not look down on him as the prince, but just did not want to get involved with the Zhenwu Division.
"Lord Luo, I would like to trouble you to go to the Criminal Department Prison tomorrow!" Qin Wei looked at Luo Jin and said.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will bring these three people to the Zhenwu Division intact." Luo Jin said.
Qin Wei nodded slightly, then glanced at the door of the Criminal Department.
"The Minister of Punishment must be Wei Rong!" he said seemingly casually.
"That's right." Luo Jin looked at Qin Wei and nodded.
"Wei family! Haha~~"
Qin Wei chuckled and returned to Zhenwu Division.
It doesn't matter if you look down on him, Qin Wei is a tolerant person and won't care about this, but it's not okay if he doesn't want to be related to Zhenwu Si.
The Zhenwu Division is responsible for the crimes committed by warriors, and will inevitably have to deal with the Punishment Department in the future. If the Punishment Department is always so arrogant, it will not be good for the Zhenwu Division.
…
The next afternoon.
Luo Jin brought the three pardoned martial arts masters back to the Zhenwu Division.
In the Zhenwu Si Tuisi Hall, Qin Wei was sitting on the main seat, looking up and down at the three people in front of him.
Cui Shimao, a native of Tianzhou, is forty-two years old this year. He is a seventh-grade warrior. He is tall and rugged in appearance. He is good at using a long sword. His sword skills are extremely sharp and he is known as Tingfeng Dao.
In the 43rd year of Wude, his son's legs were broken because he offended the second son of the Song family in Tianzhou. Cui Shimao was angry and sneaked into the Song family at night and broke the legs of the second son of the Song family. He was eventually sentenced to ten years.
Prison sentence.
Hong Fei, a native of Qinzhou, is thirty-eight years old this year, a seventh-grade warrior, handsome in appearance and elegant in temperament. Because he used to like to wear Tsing Yi, he was known as Tsing Yi Sword in the world.
Before he was imprisoned, he was a martial arts professor at the Kyoto Yanwu Pavilion. He was framed for offending the young master Chengguo.
This is a person who has a just heart and likes to meddle in other people's business.
Yanwu Pavilion is the place where Dali cultivates martial arts talents, similar to the Imperial Academy.
The Duke of Guo is one of the four great Dukes of Dali and a representative figure in the Xungui Group.
The strength of the seventh-grade warriors is not weak, but it is far behind compared with Chengguo Duke's mansion. Just a young master in Chengguo Duke's mansion can control a warrior like Hong Fei to death.
As for the last one, Qin Wei couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Shi Luan, a young and beautiful woman, is twenty-four years old this year, but has a seventh-level cultivation. Such a talented person is actually imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. It is no wonder that Li Ru would want to get her out.
As for the crime Shi Luan committed, it was the heaviest among the three.
Killing twenty-three people in one night for revenge!
Shi Luan's experience is a typical revenge story of Jianghu.
When she was young, Shi Luan saw her parents being killed with her own eyes, and she was rescued by a martial artist. After more than ten years, she continued to practice martial arts with her savior until the savior died of old age.
Start investigating the murder of his parents.
After two years of investigation, I finally determined the origin of my enemy, and then came to seek revenge.
Therefore, she was arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and eventually sentenced to be executed by Qiu Houwen.
"Do you want to live?" Qin Wei walked up to Shi Luan and asked.
Shi Luan was wearing a tattered prison uniform and her hair was unkempt, but she still couldn't hide her gorgeous face.
She raised her head and looked at Qin Wei with a pair of cold eyes.
"No one should want to die!"
Shi Luan's voice was a little dry, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his simple words were as hoarse as tearing rags.
"I can keep you alive, but I need your loyalty." Qin Wei looked directly at her.
Shi Luan's great revenge was avenged, and she had nothing to worry about in this world, but she still wanted to live. Such a person is best suited to be cultivated as a confidant.
"Okay!" Shi Luan's eyes did not waver at all. She just looked at Qin Wei, looking at him coldly.
Qin Wei nodded slightly, "From now on, you will stay with me."
"Xiao Shunzi, take her down to get rid of bad luck."
"Here!"
Xiao Shunzi extended his hand to Shi Luan and said, "Miss Shi, please!"
And Qin Wei came to Cui Shimao again, "Joining the Zhenwu Division is your only way out. Later you can send people to Tianzhou to pick up your family to prevent them from being persecuted by the Song family!"
"Thank you for your great kindness, Your Highness. The sinner Cui Shimao is willing to work as an ox and a horse for Your Highness!" Cui Shimao knelt down and kowtowed.
He is different from Shi Luan. Shi Luan no longer has any worries in this world, but he still has a family and a son. He wants to live even more, so he is more grateful to Qin Wei than Shi Luan.
"From now on, just follow Tie Shou." Qin Wei smiled slightly, "The same goes for you, Hong Fei."
Hong Fei was the most calm among the three. He looked at Qin Wei and asked, "Your Highness, are you not afraid of Duke Cheng?"
"Do you think this king will be afraid?"
"probably not."
Qin Wei chuckled and said, "As long as you are in the Zhenwu Division, the Chengguo Palace will not be able to do anything to you, but if you want revenge, you can cause them some trouble in the future."
When Hong Fei heard this, he fell into silence. After a while, he bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Highness!"
"I hope you will continue to be a swordsman in blue in the future!" Qin Wei looked at him and said with a smile.
There is no shortage of chivalrous people in the world, but the world is difficult and most people choose to go with the flow. Only a few people are willing to go upstream and stick to the chivalry in their hearts.
Hong Fei is a chivalrous warrior, but this experience was a big blow to him.
Chivalry seems a bit insignificant in the face of power.
But Qin Wei still hopes that Hong Fei can stick to the chivalry in his heart.
…
After more than ten days of investigation and preparation, Li Ru finally sorted out the many small martial arts forces in Kyoto.
Qin Wei's campaign to eradicate crime was also officially launched.
Early morning on the fifth day of May.
Outside the South Gate of Kyoto.
The sound of horse hooves is like thunder, and the smoke is billowing under their feet.
Qin Wei was wearing a purple Chengzi robe, with an Qiushuang sword hanging on his waist, followed by three thousand battalion soldiers, galloping along the official road.
Inside the city gate, a dozen gatekeepers looked at the billowing smoke and immediately became extremely nervous.
Xilulu~~
The horse neighed and Qin Wei tightened his grip on the reins and stopped in front of the city gate.
"I am the king of Xin'an County. Qin Wei, the commander of the Zhenwu Division, led three thousand battalions into the city to suppress the bandits, but you are still refusing to get out of the way!"
He looked at the government officials blocking the city gate, his eyes like lightning.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, we have not received any orders, and no one has told us that there will be soldiers entering the city today!"
The leading Yamen servant looked at Qin Wei and said nervously.
Qin Wei said calmly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I will explain it to Mr. Lu afterwards. Get out of the way and don't delay my affairs."
Guarding the city gate is the responsibility of the Shuntian government office.
The anti-gang and evil operation was planned by Qin Wei himself and had always been kept secret. It was not until early this morning that he announced the content and action plan within the Zhenwu Division.
Not to mention the Shuntian government office, at this time in the entire Kyoto, only officials from more than 100 households in Zhenwusi knew the specific action plan, and no one else knew about it.
The leading officer was still hesitant.
"Get out of the way! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Qin Wei narrowed his eyes, revealing cold murderous intent.
It is the duty of these government officials to guard the city gate, but if they insist on preventing Qin Wei from leading his troops into the city, Qin Wei will never be merciful.
"Yes, yes, I'll get out of the way right now." The leading yamen servant cried and hurriedly called on all the yamen servants to get out of the way of the city gate.
"Enter the city! Act as planned!" Qin Wei ignored these government officials and directly ordered the soldiers behind him.
At the same time, Pang Yuan, Liang Xuan, Xiao Zhiyun and other five Zhenwu Si hundred households walked into the yamen of the Wucheng Bingma Si.
