Seeing him looking at me with raised eyebrows, the visitor quickly smiled and handed over his hand.

"This matter is not easy to handle. Wu Qijian has already confessed." He handed the confessions to the visitor. "See for yourself. This case involves more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Justice, including the Minister of Justice."

The visitor took the confession, read it quickly close to the candlelight, and read ten lines at a glance. He looked angrily at Wu Qijian, who was shivering at the side, then turned to apologize and said with a smile, "Sir, as the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

For the sake of Mr. Gao, just show your respect and let them go."

"If it hadn't been for Mr. Gao's full recommendation from the court, I wouldn't have been able to take office smoothly. Logically speaking, I must give Mr. Gao's face," he said, "but Wen Shangshu is quite prejudiced against me. There will be a meeting at court tomorrow morning.

Participate in the impeachment, now I have the ironclad evidence in hand, if I let the person go, how can I participate tomorrow in the criminal department's corruption, perverting the law, and disregarding human life?"

"Don't worry, Sir, as long as you show your noble hand, Wen Shangshu will have our say." The visitor said with an apologetic smile.

"I am bending the law for personal gain." He frowned and shook his head. In fact, he was just talking. Even if he had the evidence of corruption in the Criminal Department, it was impossible to take down the Criminal Department at the moment because the time was not ripe to take action now.

The eunuchs will definitely fight back with all their strength.

As a high-ranking housekeeper, how can I not ignore the loose tone and rush to strike while the iron is hot? I only know that Mr. Gao has clear grudges and is aware of his closeness, so he will never underestimate the serious consequences and bad influence that this matter may cause.

Seeing that the heat was almost over, he went down the slope and said, "Okay, let me go. You can take these pages of confession back with you. Since Wen Shangshu is Lord Gao's disciple, I won't hold him accountable."

.”

The visitor thanked Wu Qijian profusely and left the execution room with him. He also ordered the jailer to release all his family members. Everyone narrowly escaped death and it was a false alarm.

As soon as he walked out of the prison, Datou quickly rushed over with his people and saw that all the prisoners were released. He pretended to be surprised and said, "Sir, why did you release the prisoners?"

Pretending to be serious, "You don't have to worry about it."

"Sir, the stolen money that Wu Qi, the doctor in the Ministry of Punishments, has been accused of being corrupted has been counted. Not counting the jade, calligraphy and paintings, there are eighteen thousand taels of gold and silver alone." The big head said loudly, "This is a huge case of corruption, and now the evidence

It’s true that both people got the stolen goods. How can you

How can you just let it go?"

When I heard that there were so many silver coins, my heart skipped a beat. I raised my hand to touch my forehead and winked at the boss, "Stop talking and return all the silver coins to them."

"We have registered it and collected it and put it in the warehouse." Datou said.

"What should we do?" It was difficult.

How could the high-ranking housekeeper fail to see that the two of them were singing along, and now that the man had been fished out, the gold and silver would definitely not be taken away, so he had no choice but to answer the question, saying that since the deal was done, don't return it.

While pretending to criticize Datou for handling official affairs too hastily, he ordered people to prepare carriages and horses to send Wu Langzhong and others home. The jades, calligraphy and paintings that had not yet been registered were also handed over to Wu Langzhong to take back.

Wu Langzhong suffered a loss and was very depressed. He thought that all his wealth was gone and he would be unable to live. He never thought that he would return the jade paintings and calligraphy to them. After pawning and selling them, he could still make ends meet. He was moved in his heart and thanked him repeatedly.

After sending Wu Langzhong and others away, he looked at Datou and smiled mischievously.

"Sir, this is a good way to make money." Datou said with a smile.

"We don't quite understand the rules of confiscation. We'll go in later and ask them what should be done with the money," he said.

"I asked, once the case is closed, it has to be handed over to the Ministry of Accounts," Datou said, "But if the case is not closed for one day, we can keep the money in Yushitai."

"That's it, you find someone to write a file and put this case on hold." He said.

The big head nodded in response.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Tomorrow, you find someone to make me some famous thorns. When I take office as a new official, I should visit my colleagues in various ministries. You send someone to give them my famous thorns. All officials above the fifth rank will give one to each person."

I dare to attack even the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and even raid the home of a doctor of the Ministry of Punishment. They have to think carefully about getting famous assassins."

Datou knew that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make money, so he lost no time in suggesting, "Take the opportunity to make money"

Yang Kai and I also sent out famous assassins, one for everyone above Grade 7, and there were also big rats in the small hole."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." He smiled.

"Hey, sir, what do we need so much money for?" Big Head asked.

"Money is never a bad thing." He didn't say it clearly. Now the national treasury is empty, and he has to borrow money to raise money to send troops to fight. He wants to make money for the emperor. One day, the emperor needs it urgently, and he can take it out. The reason why he doesn't turn it over to the Ministry of Household Affairs now is,

That's because he didn't know who the Minister of Hubu was, and he was worried that if the money was given to the Ministry of Hubu, the Ministry of Hubu would send it to the Ministry of War to fight against Chen Liqiu.

Seeing that his eyes were a little blurry, Datou guessed that he was thinking about other things, so he didn't say anything to disturb him.

Thinking of Chen Liqiu, he felt a little heavy. Then he thought of Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo talking to Gao Shizhong before, and he was vaguely worried about Longhu Mountain. At the moment, he had nothing else to do but fulfill his duties faithfully and make more contributions, in case Chen Liqiu one day

When Liqiu was in trouble, or the emperor punished Longhu Mountain, he could also use his own merits to intercede for them.

After a while, he came back to his senses and walked towards the accounting room with his big head, "You should be distracted and pay attention to the court's official competition. Once the imperial list is posted, you will tell me the specific rules of the competition as soon as possible."

"Okay," Big Head nodded.

At this time, the officials of the headquarters were collecting the arrears of salary in the accounting room. They all smiled happily. When they saw the two people arriving, they hurriedly greeted them. .??.??

At this time, Yang Kai also came back. He and everyone moved the gold and silver obtained from ransacking the house into the treasury.

The officer called the horse management official, who led him to inspect the stables at Yushitai. The stables at Yushitai were not big enough to support more than 300 horses. They needed to be expanded. This was simple and rich.

Good job.

Then he ordered Yang Kai to go out with the horse herders and the school captain tomorrow to buy horses. There were many horse farms inside and outside the city of Chang'an. As long as there was money, there was no need to worry about buying good horses.

Until then, he didn't know where his residence was, so he ordered someone to lead the way to his residence in the backyard. The officials of Yushitai all had independent residences.

The so-called shelter is a temporary resting place, most of which only have one room. As the official of the Yushitai Hall, the Yushi doctor has his own independent large courtyard. There are more than 20 rooms including the main house and wing rooms, which are very large and spacious.

, it’s just that it was built a little long ago, and the house and the furnishings inside are a bit old.

There is also a back door at the back of the yard. Accompanied by everyone, he walked around in a circle, and then ordered people to modify several rooms in the west wing and turned them into the stables of Young Master Hei. Young Master Hei was his heart and soul.

He didn't want Young Master Hei to be too far away from him. Furthermore, Young Master Hei was carrying corpse poison, and it was easy for him to get into trouble if he was kept with official horses.

I was going to Ni's house for dinner in the evening, but it was still too early, so I went back to the hall and called the officials in charge of everything to understand the situation and familiarize themselves with their duties.

As a censor who oversees hundreds of officials, he must be familiar with the etiquette and official system, and the prisoner must also be proficient in laws, and his duties also have specific requirements. These are all written on paper. Find all the relevant books.

Put it on your desk and look through it one by one when you have time.

The most troublesome thing is to get up early and go to court every day, but officials above the fifth rank must go to court every day. This is also the official's duty. Otherwise, they will not be able to accept the emperor's will and will not know what is happening in the court.

Fortunately, after asking everyone, he quickly found a way to avoid the early court. According to the court etiquette, if there was urgent official business, officials could ask for leave from the palace officials, and the palace was under the jurisdiction of the Yushitai.

This is much more convenient. If you want to go in the future, you can go. If you don't want to go, you can just excuse yourself from official duties and be busy handling cases.

It's okay to run there every three or five days, but who can bear to get up early every day?

Seeing that the time was almost up, he ended his conversation with everyone, stood up, and wanted to go to the backyard to change out of his official uniform and go to Ni's house for the banquet.

At this moment, a yamen servant ran up in panic and reported in panic, "I would like to report to Mr. Xiantai, there is someone making trouble outside the mansion. We worked together to drive him away but could not push him away. At this time, the man was still standing outside the door and shouted loudly.

I want to fight you again."

"Fight again?" He frowned in confusion, "What kind of person is he?"
