Duan Fei was surprised, and then he saw Deputy Shi asked someone to help Duan Fei move tables, chairs, bamboo beds, and then moved the piles of case files to Duan Fei's desk. Deputy Shi Ji said to Duan Fei seriously: "
The most severe sentence in our company. Since you are good at solving cases, I will give you this important task. I just want to remind you a few words. You must be cautious when handling cases, and you must be aware of the details. Women should not be taken lightly, and you should not be biased in investigating and deciding cases.
…”
Deputy Shi Ji thrust a pamphlet into Duan Fei's hand and said, "I won't say more. This is a treasure that I copied with my own hands. It is the official book - "The Official Classic". You may wish to read more when you have time."
Look, you are still young and it is better to understand some things. I will hand over the responsibilities right now. Please do everything."
Deputy Shi ran away in a hurry, and Duan Fei shouted from behind: "Sir, how should we arrange the two people brought by the official?"
Deputy Shi Ji shouted without looking back: "Give Mr. Wu your name and he will make arrangements for you."
The scope of responsibility of the Provincial Envoys and Envoys is not just the criminal names of a province. They are also responsible for inspecting military equipment, training, patrolling the sea, the Qing army, post missions, farming and other matters. The envoys are in charge of the overall situation. Deputy Shihe
The officials were divided into separate departments to inspect various matters, among which the punishment was the heaviest and the most difficult to handle. Deputy Shi Ji handed over this heavy responsibility to Duan Fei and went to do other work.
Duan Fei went to see Master Wu again and reported the names and origins of Shi Bin and Guo Wei. Master Wu arranged for the two of them to work under Duan Fei as yamen servants.
In addition, there are some clerks and many government officials. These people have no official rank, but they are still civil servants in provincial government offices. They are still very prosperous when they go out.
After everything was done, Duan Fei returned to his office and started working. He didn't know what to look at. He was shocked when he saw that there were so many criminal cases in a province. Those bullshit and petty theft cases could not be punished.
Cases involving people's lives in the Si Yamen will also be thrown directly to the Ministry of Justice to wait for settlement. However, now the case files in front of Duan Fei are still piled up, and it is even more troublesome to deal with them. It makes people feel numb when they see them. No wonder that Ji
The deputy historian ran so fast.
Fortunately, these cases have already gone through preliminary trials. What Duan Fei has to do now is to review the cases that have been initially reviewed or reviewed from the three-level system of county level, state level, government level, etc. If the verification is correct,
The verdict of the case can be signed and stamped, and the prisoner can do whatever he wants, and the case is basically over. Otherwise, it will need to be dismissed for retrial or the sentence will be changed. If it is serious, it will need to be retried by the Prosecution and Prosecution Commission.
It can be said that Duan Fei's current responsibilities are equivalent to those of the president of the Higher People's Court and the President of the High Procuratorate at the provincial level in later generations. He is responsible for verifying case files and approvals, and even retrials.
The county magistrate who handles a wrong case will at most be re-examined and scolded. Duan Fei is now the one who makes the final decision. Once the case is signed and sealed, the fate of one or more people will be decided. If the work is not meticulous enough, it will cause
Duan Fei, the final decision-maker, bears a heavy responsibility for wrongful convictions, and may be dismissed from office, or even imprisoned in serious cases. Therefore, Deputy Shi warned Duan Fei repeatedly before leaving.
Moreover, it is one thing for Duan Fei to solve the case himself, but it is another thing to review the case files submitted by others. Most of the officials in the Ming Dynasty came from reading eight-part essays. They have not been trained in criminal investigation and trial, so they have no experience in solving cases.
He is a layman when it comes to investigating cases. The better ones will hire a famous criminal master for help. Those like Mr. Min who are not willing to spend money to hire a master have no choice but to push the case solving to the county magistrate, the chief secretary, and the historian. Those people also eat stereotypes.
After they came out, they had no reason to hire a master, so they just randomly arrested people and tried the cases. The usual method was to torture the suspects severely and then hand over a messy case file. This is how many unjust, false and wrong cases were created.
Seeing those messy files, Duan Fei had the urge to kill. He wished he could go to the scene in person, kick the local magistrate and others to the ground, and then try the case himself.
After staying in the yamen for a long time, Duan Fei carefully took a few case files that he thought were unquestionable and went to Mr. Wu to ask him to make a ruling. Unexpectedly, Mr. Wu just glanced at him hastily and said to him: "You can do these things."
Make your own decision, there is no need to come to me again, I believe in your ability, do your best!"
Duan Fei felt like he was about to cry. Only then did he realize that being promoted too quickly was not a good thing. If he had worked his way up from the grassroots level, how could he feel as confused as he does now? In the past, he would have been so confused when things happened.
You can ask Mr. Yan, Mr. Shi and others. Now that Mr. Wu has made it clear that he wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper, he has no one to discuss and inquire with. What should we do?
The cover of each case file was filled with the words urgent, extremely urgent, extremely urgent. Duan Fei was stunned when he looked at them. Power and responsibility were equal. He finally understood it deeply.
In the end, Duan Fei signed and sealed several cases that he felt had a clear trial process and conclusive evidence. Then he wrote and sealed the verdicts, then put them in briefcases and sealed them with fire paint, and filed them with the local government and the Ministry of Punishment...
This afternoon made Duan Fei dizzy. He felt more tired than solving a hundred cases in person. Shi Bin and Guo Wei could only help him run errands. They couldn't help with this kind of thing. Finally, they made it to get off work.
The three of them walked out of the Yamen of Anchasi and saw that Huang Suliang had been waiting for a long time. After meeting, Huang Suliang saw that Duan Fei looked bad and did not dare to ask more questions, so he took Duan Fei and the others to a nearby inn.
The first floor of the inn is a place for guests to eat. Su Rong and Tang Bohu were chatting about something while drinking tea. When everyone came back, Su Rong immediately ordered the waiter to serve the food.
After Duan Fei took his seat, Tang Bohu asked: "My boss is deeply frowning, but it's not going well on your first day as an official?"
Duan Fei nodded and asked, "Does Mr. Tang know about officialdom and the review and approval procedures for cases?"
Tang Bohu shook his head, and Duan Fei sighed and said: "It seems that I need to hire an experienced master. Reviewing and approving cases is completely different from solving cases on the spot. I have been busy all afternoon today and I feel a little exhausted."
Seeing that Tang Bohu had no choice, Huang Suliang frowned and said: "It's just a trivial matter to hire a master. Leave this matter to the villain. The villain will go and invite the best Xingming Master in Nanchang to the young master overnight. Please relax, young master."
, let’s have dinner first.”
Su Rong's eyes rolled around a few times, and she suddenly said: "My father used to be an official. I am very familiar with Ming Dynasty laws and official rules. Why don't you let me be your master, and the salary will be doubled."
"Stop joking." Duan Fei said feebly. This afternoon, he had really been tortured to the point of losing his temper. He was exhausted both physically and mentally, and most of his energy had been worn away.
Su Rong pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "If you don't believe me, you can just bring any case to test me."
Seeing her confident look, Duan Fei was too lazy to talk nonsense, and directly used his trump card, saying: "A woman should stay at home, how can she go out and be a master in the Yamen? You better forget it, you are so active, and you will be reincarnated in the next life."
man."
Su Rong had nothing to say to him, and when she saw his sarcastic words, her pretty face turned pale. She snorted, said nothing, stood up and walked upstairs.dd
