Zhang Langzhong of the Criminal Department left with an angry look on his face. Su Yu looked a little ugly. She didn't know whether it was because of Zhang Langzhong's impudence or because Qin Xiao refused to hand over the case.
"Sir, did you do something wrong?" Qin Xiao asked cautiously.
Su Yu frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally said: "It's not wrong for you to accept the complaint or even prepare to hear the case. It's reasonable and legal. It's just that I should have been informed in advance. I didn't know about you until the Ministry of Punishment came to ask for someone.
Everyone has brought Wei Bi over."
Fei Xin, who was behind Qin Xiao, hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.
"Sir, this case...?"
"Since you have accepted it, I will no longer interfere." Su Yu said with a sullen face, "What you just said is not wrong. According to the laws of our Dali Temple, if the case you concluded as a young minister is under trial,
Except for the imperial decree, no one can interfere with your handling of the case." He sighed and said seriously: "Qin Shaoqing, when you first arrived at Dali Temple, I told you not to act too hastily, and to slow things down. This case is directly involved.
You accepted the person who came to Guanglu Temple without even thinking about it. Not to mention offending the Ministry of Punishment now, if you can't come up with a result in this case, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Qin Xiao took a step forward and asked humbly: "What do you mean, sir?"
"Wei Bi is a court official. Since he was brought to Dali Temple and you must try the case, you must get a flawless result." Su Yu said sternly: "You must seize both witnesses and material evidence.
In hand, the most important thing is that if Wei Bi is the main culprit, then he must sign the confession. The officials of Guanglu Temple were captured and taken to Dali Temple. For the sake of face, Guanglu Temple will definitely keep an eye on this person.
Needless to say, the Ministry of Justice, and Wei Bi has a good reputation in the official circles. This person is one of the best in Kyoto in terms of appearance and literary talent, so he also has many friends." He leaned on the chair, stared at Qin Xiao, and gave a wry smile.
, said: "If you cannot produce impeccable results, these people will definitely attack you in groups."
Qin Xiao's expression also became serious.
"If there are really many officials involved in impeaching you, I will tell you that Dali Temple will definitely not be able to protect you, and it will even make Dali Temple a joke to everyone." Su Yu shook his head: "Qin Shaoqing, you
But you know, when you take this case, you take on a hot potato."
Qin Xiao cupped his hands and said, "The official has already accepted it. It's too late to regret it."
"If you are really not sure, it is still too late." Su Yu looked at Qin Xiao and lowered his voice slightly: "Immediately send the complaint and Wei Bi to the Ministry of Justice and hand over this hot potato to them.
, no matter what the outcome, you and Dali Temple will not have any trouble."
Qin Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, I just rejected the punishment department and turned around and sent him away again. Don't you want to be laughed at by the punishment department?"
"Being laughed at by them?" Su Yu sighed: "In the past ten years, when have they ever looked at Dali Temple? In the past ten years, even I and the three ministers of Dali Temple have not been stepped on by Lu Junzhong.
?I don’t care if they make fun of me, so what are you afraid of?”
Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "My lord, this case was taken over by me and handled by me. Even if there is really trouble in the end, it will be borne by me alone. I will never dare to implicate you and Dali Temple."
Su Yu was silent for a moment and finally said: "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more." He said to Fei Xin: "Fei Sicheng, you were also a master of criminal names back then. Qin Shaoqing is not very familiar with the matter of criminal names."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
If you are informed, please help us to try this case to the end."
The corners of Feixin's eyes twitched slightly, but he did not dare to disobey. He cupped his hands and said, "I obey my orders."
"Qin Shaoqing, you go down and prepare first." Su Yu waved.
The highest official of Dali Temple had already relaxed, and Qin Xiao's trial was no longer hindered. He handed over his hands and stepped back. Fei Xin was about to leave with Qin Xiao, but Su Yu winked. Fei Xin understood, and said with cupped hands:
"Sir, I still have a few small things to report due to my humble position."
Qin Xiao paused for a moment, looked back at Fei Xin, and left without saying a word.
After Qin Xiao left, Fei Xin quickly came forward and whispered: "What are your orders, sir?"
"Qin Xiao is the presiding judge on this case, and you can assist him." Su Yu said in a low voice: "No matter what, we must help Qin Xiao to complete the trial of this case. We must not let the Criminal Department cause trouble when the time comes.
.I only want one thing, and that is a confession signed and stamped by Wei Bi."
Feixin whispered: "My lord, if you offend the Ministry of Punishment, you will definitely be in trouble in the future. According to the Dali Temple's decree, if Qin Xiao does start a trial, your lord will naturally not interfere, but Qin Xiao only accepted the complaint and did not formally
Now that the court is open, your Excellency still has the power to stop him from trying the case." There was a hint of doubt: "I dare to ask, I have the courage to ask, just now Your Excellency could directly order Qin Xiao to hand over the case as a court official, why didn't Your Excellency do that?"
Su Yu picked up the tea cup on the table and felt that the tea had cooled down. She put it down, with a cunning look in her eyes, and said with a faint smile: "You really don't understand?"
"I'm a stupid person in my humble position." Feixin cupped his hands and said, "Please give me some advice."
"From the founding of the Tang Dynasty until the current saint ascended the throne, our Dali Temple, if not stepping on the Ministry of Punishment, was on an equal footing with them. Most of the time, people from the Ministry of Punishment would bow respectfully when they saw people from Dali Temple." Su Yu
He sighed: "But after Lu Junzhong ascended the throne as a saint, he set off many big prisons and rose up step by step. It would be fine if he only controlled the Ministry of Punishment, but he actually reached out to Dali Temple, and the power of Dali Temple was taken away by him bit by bit.
"
Feixin also said angrily: "Thanks to the saint's grace, that vicious dog Lu Junzhong is unscrupulous and will die a good death sooner or later."
"At least the saint still has great trust in him." Su Yu said with a bitter smile: "The Ministry of Punishment is getting more and more arrogant, but our Dali Temple is ridiculed by others. No one in the various bureaus looks up to our Dali Temple. I have been in Dali Temple for eleven years.
, I have been sitting in the position of Minister of Dali Temple for almost four years. In the past eleven years, I and my colleagues in Dali Temple have been humiliated by Lu Junzhong."
Fei Xin said bitterly: "I think back when Dali Temple was prosperous, everyone's life was quite comfortable. Now not only is leisure tight, but life is also very tight. It's hard to get promoted."
"Do you really think that this case of Wei Bi is just an ordinary case?" Su Yu's usually amiable face turned cold at this moment, and she whispered: "This has been happening in Dali for many years.
The first time the temple stopped a case involving officials and did not send it to the Ministry of Punishments, it was also the first time in many years that our Dali Temple exercised the rights of Dali Temple in accordance with the law. People in the Ministry of Punishments knew very well that as long as this hole was opened, the Ministry of Punishments would try to use it again.
It has not been easy for Dali Temple to transfer cases in the past. In other words, this is the first battle that Dali Temple has launched against the Ministry of Punishment."
Feixin's expression became solemn and he said: "Sir, when that vicious dog Lu Junzhong realizes this, he will never let us have an easy time. He will definitely continue to cause trouble in this case."
"That's natural.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Su Yu sneered and said: "So whether Dali Temple can regain the power of punishment, Wei Bi's case is of great importance. If this case fails, Dali Temple will be even more unable to hold its head high in the future, and it will be almost impossible to compete with the Ministry of Punishment. But.
If Qin Xiao can really prove the case and let Wei Bihua be detained and plead guilty, our Dali Temple will be able to feel proud from now on. If the people from the Ministry of Punishment want to ride on Dali Temple's head, they will have to think carefully." Staring.
Feixin said with eyes: "Now that you understand the pros and cons of this, you should know what to do."
"I will definitely try my best to assist Qin Xiao in turning this case into a solid case." Fei Xin naturally understood what Su Yu meant and said with a little worry: "But if this case continues, there will be many obstacles.
, I don’t know if Qin Xiao can withstand this humble position?”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Yu's lips, she picked up the tea cup again, took a sip of the already cold tea, and then said: "If it weren't for Qin Xiao, we would definitely not be able to continue this case. If it were Yun Lu who tried this case,
If he dares to take the case, the Ministry of Punishments will come up with Yunlu’s charges early tomorrow morning, and directly invite Yunlu to the Ministry of Punishments for tea, and he will never be able to leave the Ministry of Punishments again. But Qin Xiao
But it's different. Except for the many officials who were bestowed upon the saint when he ascended the throne, in the past ten years, have you seen any official who has been promoted several levels like Qin Xiao?"
“Extremely rare!”
"It's not extremely rare, but it doesn't exist at all." Su Yu shook his head and said: "Qin Xiao has been in Beijing for less than two months, and he is a young man under the age of twenty. He was directly promoted from a seventh-rank official in the Ministry of War to Dali Temple
As a Shaoqing, I have never seen such a conferment until the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Although we can't figure out the reason for this, we can conclude that the saint really valued Qin Xiao very much and transferred him to Dali Temple.
, I’m afraid it’s just a temporary training here, if I’m not wrong, if Qin Xiao can really do something, the saint will probably promote him.”
Fei Xin understood the meaning of Su Yu's words and said, "What do you mean, sir, the saint values Qin Xiao so much that even if Lu Junzhong wants to touch him, he may not be able to do so?"
"Why is Lu Junzhong so successful?" Su Yu raised her hand and stroked his beard and said, "It's just because when the saint ascended the throne, not only the Li family opposed it, but also countless people in the court. Therefore, if the saint wants to be as stable as a mountain, these people must
Get rid of them." He sighed: "But how many people really dare to be cruel to the Li royal family? Even those officials in the court who oppose the saints, if they really attack them with a knife, everyone will worry about leaving a mark in the history books.
He has been infamous for thousands of years, and because of this, no one in the various law offices dared to stand up and become the murderous knife. But Lu Junzhong, that vicious dog, jumped out, figured out what the saint meant, and bared his teeth and claws at Li.
The royal family and the officials in the court fought against him. What he and his followers did were too numerous to describe and were despised by the world. But what he did was exactly what the saint wanted. Since the saint wanted to use him to kill people, he would naturally give it to him.
Power frees him up."
Lu Junzhong made his fortune by stepping on corpses. Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew this. Naturally, Feixin also knew it very well. He sneered and said: "Any unjust behavior will lead to death. This evil dog will eventually end up being shattered into pieces."
"But now the situation in the court is stable, the saint has kept his word, and there are no officials in the court who seek death and are enemies of the saint." Su Yu's eyes were deep: "Lu Junzhong has restrained himself a lot in recent years. I know that this is not Lu Junzhong's change of temper.
, the saint must have beaten him to prevent him from continuing to cause trouble in the court. This sword no longer has the same effect as it did in the past. The saint is wise and should put the sword into its sheath. I have been thinking about it in the past few years,
When will the saint put away this sword? Now it seems that Qin Xiao's transfer to Dali Temple is the beginning of putting away the sword."
