Unexpectedly, within a month, this screen actually committed a murder case. Lan Jue was slightly surprised. He asked casually how he was murdered.

Liu Dianshi was not very clear, and just said ambiguously that he should have used a weapon. The headmaster is only left with one breath and doesn't know that he can't survive. If he doesn't survive, this case will be a real murder case.

As he said this, he walked to the front of the Government Hall. Wang Yan, the Minister of Justice, greeted Lan Jue at the door and bowed to him: "Sir Lan, you are a rare guest. What important businessman is there today that you actually come here in person?"

Lan Jue returned the courtesy and said, "Isn't it just a matter of rewarding Liu Zhihui? The Ministry of Personnel said that the Ministry of Revenue was filed by them, so he threw the Ministry of Justice's investigation of archives on our Ministry of Justice. Although it was a matter of following the rules, if a civil servant was sent to do it casually, it would seem negligent to Lord Liu, so I came here in person. I'll bother Brother Mo Wen, you can help me get a file."

According to the Yong Dynasty, any official promotion and reward must be checked. Recently, Liu Zhihui, a clerk of the Central Secretariat, was promoted to the Chief Censor, and was awarded several other rewards. The documents to be promoted and rewarded were first transferred to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites, and the files to be reviewed will be confirmed to be clear about Liu's life experience and is not a criminal offender who is involved in the court, and he can be officially promoted to reward.

Lan Jue felt that this rule was a bit redundant. When he first gained fame or had great promotion, he would just check it. In this way, he would have to check every promotion. In the end, it became a form. Those officials who were promoted quickly could recite the resumes of both the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites. It was really unnecessary.

But Lan Jue is not a person who likes to give advice. When he works in the Ministry of Rites, he emphasizes that harmony is the most important thing. Leave opinions to the censors. What he thinks is unreasonable is just thinking about in his heart.

Wang Yan smiled and said, "I expected this to be the case, but the department at the same level of the Ministry of Justice asked the Secretary of State to make a comment, so I can't open it without permission. Coincidentally, we Lord Tao finally encountered a murder case today. I'm afraid you have to wait for him to finish the trial."

As he was talking, the sound of drums pounding outside was heard. Wang Yan squeezed his eyes: "Look, Lord Shangshu is about to be promoted to the hall. This time, I have the freshly brewed tea here. I will drink it and sit here. I will lose my companion for a while. Lord Tao will try the case, and we must listen to the study."

Lan Jue smiled in his heart. Tao Zhoufeng, the Minister of Justice, was a disciple of his father-in-law Liu Xian. He was an authentic and honest official, an authentic and good man with a gentle personality and a bit pedantic. If he was placed in a place like the Ministry of Revenue and the Hanlin Academy, he would be a good official, but he was the Minister of Justice.

It is said that Lord Tao was Liu Xian's last wish before his death. Lan Jue suspected that his father-in-law was unable to speak clearly before his death, which led to his disciples to "Tao Zhoufeng can only enter the idle department" as the "Ministry of Justice". At that time, the late emperor was terminally ill and criticized him with a trembling hand. Tao Zhoufeng became the Minister of Justice.

Over the past few years, the bloody cases in the Ministry of Justice have been reduced, either hanging but not interrupted or being tried by Dali Temple. Lord Tao happily wrote in the memorial: "There is another case recently, which was caused by a dispute over property. I persuaded it with the words of the saint, the late emperor and the emperor's kindness. The criminals regretted and shed tears. It can be seen that in the prosperous dynasty, bloodthirsty people can also be taught..."

At that time, the emperor had not taken charge of the government. After reading the memorial, King Huai and Yun Tang and other ministers of the regent, they submitted it to the emperor. The Secretariat ordered the emperor to submit it to the emperor and replied: "Who is the criminal and what punishment is it sentenced?"

Lord Tao replied: "The criminal confessed to his guilt before the trial. He was the youngest son of the deceased, but was actually the affair of the deceased concubine. He was confused by the deceased's hindrance. He was obsessed with this evil deed. He was really pitiful. When I picked up the pen and wanted to be sentenced to death, I couldn't help but burst into tears. If I had the saint's teachings, why did this happen? Alas..."

Soon after, the memorial was approved, and the red characters of the dragon and phoenix danced: "Ah, the murderer of the father is unforgivable. If the saint does not kill him, he will cry and behead him immediately!"

Lord Tao sentenced his father to death with tears in his eyes and sentenced him to the death. Not long after, he wrote a letter to ask the prisoners to plant weeping willows and chrysanthemums outside the prison, so that the evil criminals could listen to the sound of falling rain, the singing of birds, and realize the great love of the world. They also had to engrave a book of encouragement to be good and distributed to the prisoners in the prison to educate all living beings.

King Huai, Yuntang and Wang Qin and other ministers endured Tao Zhoufeng for a long time, but no one wanted to leave a sway against the last wishes of the late emperor and the old master Liu. They were gritting their teeth and waiting for the emperor to take charge of him. Lord Tao might have vaguely felt this sign. After the emperor took office, he had been cheering up and working hard to handle the case. He would sit in the hall in person for each case, let his subordinate officials listen to him and make ideas for him.

The subordinate officials of the Ministry of Justice called Lord Tao "Tao Shanren" behind his back. Wang Yan heard his father Wang Qin complain about Tao Zhoufeng a lot, and he couldn't help but disrespect him.

Lan Jue said: "When I first came in, I saw the constable holding two scholars, like the tester of the Jinke, just like the suspects in this case to be tried? Unfortunately, I am not very happy to listen to your Ministry of Justice."

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "If you want to listen, I will bring you with you. It's not a case that concerns the court, so it's okay to listen. Lord Tao doesn't care about this. Moreover, these two seem to be really the testers of the current subject, so you can listen."

Lan Jue smiled and said, "Then I'll go and listen. After being an official for so many years, I have never seen many cases when I was promoted to the court."

Wang Yan led him to the lobby of the Ministry of Justice from the path to the trial of the Ministry of Justice. Lan Jue stood behind the screen and saw Lord Tao sitting upright in front of the case, asking with heartache: "You two are the examiners of the current subject, and even if you read the saint's book, how could you still commit crimes?"

Chen Chou said in a trembling voice: "Sir, the student is wronged! The two students slept at home last night and didn't go anywhere, let alone murder Mr. Jin!"

Lord Tao sighed, "If it weren't for you, why did Jin Li insist that it was you?"

Chen Chou said loudly: "You can't say it's a student, that's what the students do. Please give me a clear idea. It's not us!"

Lord Tao said, "Are you the suspect who is talking? According to Jin Li, it is indeed not what you did. What she said is that Zhang Ping beside you is the mastermind, you are probably an accomplice..."

Chen Chong said in a trembling voice: "Students are not accomplices! Zhang Ping is not the mastermind! We both slept at home yesterday, so how could we run to the west of the city to kill Mr. Jin?"

Lord Tao sighed again: "You said, you both sleep at home, do you sleep in the same house or two? If it is the same house, do you sleep in one bed or two beds? If it is the same bed, which one sleeps outside? Is the sleep deep or shallow? Can you guarantee that when you go out, he will wake up, and when he goes out, you will wake up?"

Chen Chou shook his finger and said, "Sir, the student and Zhang Ping slept one in the west wing and the other in the east wing, but the family outside us has a dog. It will yell at night as long as there is footsteps. It hasn't yelled last night. If you don't believe it, you can send a neighbor to ask questions!"

Lord Tao pondered for a moment and said, "Did the dog bark? I will check it out..."

The doctor Kong, who was standing next to him, secretly whispered to Shuling a few words, and Shuling whispered a few words to Lord Tao. Lord Tao continued, "Even if the dog does not bark, it doesn't mean anything. I know that there is a medicine in the world called ecstasy medicine, also known as Mengshan San. It is pressed into a meat pack and eaten with the dog. The dog is drowsy and does not bark..."

Shuling whispered a few more words to Lord Tao, and Lord Tao said again: "Before this medicine, you can be charming first. That is to say, when you fall asleep, he may be awake, and vice versa."

Chen Chou suddenly became anxious: "Sir, you have to tell evidence in everything. What evidence can prove that students or Zhang Ping have ecstasy medicine?"

Lord Tao was silent for a moment and said, "There is no evidence to prove it, you don't."

Lan Jue almost burst into laughter behind the screen. Shu Ling coughed and interrupted, "Sir, it's better to pass on the Jin Li family first."

Lord Tao slowly patted the arbor: "Transfer to Jin Li's family."

Lan Jue looked at the screen through the gap in the screen, and saw him standing without saying a word, with his eyelids hanging down, expressionless, and very much in line with the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Lan Jue couldn't help but think in his heart-

Is it him?
