A Clash of Gods Chapter 867: Leave the job
,,!
Qing Ning naturally didn’t know what happened to Xian'er and Heipao. When he returned to Hou's house that night, he made sure that Tang Nuo had no problems.
Despite the fact that Tang Nuo turned from crisis to safety, Qi Ning was not happy. He wanted to dig Lu Shanghe’s whereabouts from Duan Qingchen. Now Duan Qingchen has been wiped out. Lu Shanghe’s whereabouts are even harder to find.
Get up early the next morning, and after washing, I took two attendants straight to the punishment office.
Long Tai has handed over the criminal department to him. Now that he is in charge of one, he still has to look at it.
The punishment department gate is located on Mingyang Street, not far from the imperial city. This street is often filled with court officials of the courts. Qi Ning came to the punishment department gate and saw a black plaque on the head of the criminal department. With the words "clearly inspected and clean", the couplets with gold stamps hung on the left and right door posts, and the six criminal department officials stood on the left and right sides, and pressed the handle of the saber, which seemed very solemn.
Qing Ning dismounted, and the entourage around him said loudly: "Jinyi is waiting for the ride, hurry in and get a pass!"
A guard of the criminal department immediately ran to the report, and it didn’t take long for Qi Ning to see the sparse four or five officials coming here. The first one was in his early forties and was thin, seeing Qi Ning, Accelerate your pace, and bowed forward: "Shen Lian, the principal of the criminal department, meets Lord Hou!"
Several officials behind him also saluted Qi Ning together.
Qining frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is the chief in the criminal department now?"
"Hou Ye, Lord Hou, is Master Zuo, Lang Daxi." Shen Lian respectfully said: "However, Master Daxi has been sick for a few days and has been healing in the house. Today, he has not been able to come to Yamen to do a bad job." Looking up at Qi Ning.
Qing Ning thought that it seemed that Laozi really shot too hard last time, and Daxi was unable to go out until now, asking: "Who is the right servant of the criminal department?"
"It's Master Chu." Shen Lian said: "But Master Chu is currently handling a case and can't greet him. Please forgive me."
Qining hesitated before asking: "Is the purpose of the palace granted?"
"Hou Ye said that the purpose of the emperor's decree was for Hou Ye to take charge of the Criminal Department?" Shen Lian said in a peaceful voice: "Return to Hou Ye, the will was given yesterday, and everyone has been waiting for Hou Ye to come to office. "
Qining thought that he hadn’t received the will yet, only thinking that today was his sudden visit, so there were only a few officials to welcome him, but now it seems that this is not the case.
Since the will was promulgated, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs naturally knew that they were going to be in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Today, they came to the Yamen for the first day today. According to the principle, even if the Criminal Department does not engage in a welcome ceremony, at least officials in the Yamen should be When he came out to greet him, he glanced at it at a glance, and there were only a few officials, and he even took the lead in welcoming only a chief of the criminal department.
Qing Ning suddenly felt a little upset, but he didn’t move, and said with a smile: "This official is the first day of business today, you take care of me." No nonsense, carrying his hands, walking in the office go with.
He did not claim to be his lord, but claimed to be an official, which naturally told everyone that he entered the punishment department gate not to speak as a knight, but to stay here as the head of the punishment department.
After entering the Yamen, the officials all said to Qi Ning: "Hou Ye, there are still official duties in the low office, please leave first!" Several people even retired without waiting for Qi Ning to say anything. In the end, only Shen Lian, the principal of the Criminal Department, remained with him.
Qining frowned and glanced at Shen Lian, but Shen Lian was cautious. When Qi Ning glanced over, Shen Lian immediately bowed to his body, looking very humble, with a slight smile on his face.
"It seems that the Yamen is very busy today. Is there anything to do with it?" Qi Ning shouldered his hands and went to the Yamen Square of the Criminal Department.
Shen Lian followed him carefully and said carefully: "In Huihou's words, the criminal department is in charge of the world's criminal names, and the affairs have always been very busy. Recently, the case of the Huainan king's rebellion occurred, and Sheng Shang has been ordered to be investigated by the criminal department, so the Yamen Officials of all sizes are currently doing this."
Qining stopped and turned his back with his hands on his back, seemingly smiling: "All of them are dealing with a case of Huainan Wang rebellion? Very good, this officer also got the will of the emperor and wanted to investigate the case thoroughly. Master Shen Let me talk about how you are going to handle this case so that I can learn and learn."
Shen Lian was stunned, but immediately smiled: "Hou Ye, this case was originally under the jurisdiction of Master Daxi. After Master Daxi took a rest, Master Chu was responsible for presiding, so how to investigate this case was all by Chu. Adults showed that the humble job is just to obey the orders."
"It turns out so." Qi Ning thought that Shen Lian was an old slippery man, and he was not angry. He smiled and said: "The official came to the Penal Department for the first time. Everything is unknown. Master Shen, how would you explain?"
Shen Lian hurriedly said: "Back to Houye, the Criminal Department has the Division of Supervision and Arrest, the Department of Autumn Trial, the Department of Reduction and the like, the jail cell, the stolen punishment bank, the punishment office and the Seventh Department of the Law Office. One person, two servants, four principals, another twenty-one chiefs of each division, twenty-eight officials and seventy-six officials. The total number of officials is one hundred and thirty-six, and there is another punishment department. Two hundred and eighty people died, and there were more than four hundred people up and down the entire punishment office."
Qing Ning thought that the criminal department's bureaucracy was considered to be bloated. There were more than four hundred people in the bureau, and the six bureaucrats were two or three thousand.
The Chu Kingdom is now only half of the country, and it’s not counted as other government departments. If it is completely counted, the officials in Jianye Jingcheng are really an extremely large team.
After the Qinhuai War, Chu’s vitality was seriously hurt and the treasury was empty, but it still had such a huge management team. It is no wonder that the Ministry of Households always called for poverty.
"How many people are on duty today in the Seven Divisions of the Criminal Ministry?" Qi Ning asked while walking, but he didn't go to the lobby at this time, and saw a large stele on the left, bypassing the stele and following a bluestone path Go forward.
Shen Lian saw that Qi Ning did not enter the lobby. He was a little surprised, but he didn’t dare to say much. He followed carefully and replied: "Due to the case of King Huainan in the past few days, Master Chu has commanded that no one Please do not take a break, in addition to individual officials who go out on business, there are hundreds of people in Yamen."
"Hundreds of people are busy, which is good." Qi Ning glimpsed a large courtyard on the side, with a plaque hanging, and writing the autumn trial office, knowing that this was one of the seven divisions of the Criminal Department, and carrying his hands immediately passed, Shen Lian speeded up and said, "Hou Ye, why not go to the lobby for a cup of tea, wait for them to stop the errand in their hands, and then go to meet Hou Ye?"
Qining didn’t pay attention at all, and walked into the courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by blue bricks and white tiles, and he didn’t make a sound. Hearing the sound from a room, he walked over and walked to the window, see The window was open, but there were five or six officials clustered together in a circle, one by one, and no one looked at the window.
Qining didn’t know what these guys were doing. He walked into the house lightly. A group of people didn’t realize it. When Qining approached the side, he found several officials around a table with a table in the middle. In a large-mouthed blue-glazed jar, the two crickets are fighting very hard. Several officials looked at the fierce crickets with their eyes wide open. No one cared about Qining approaching.
Shen Lian followed Qi Ning with a slight discoloration on her face. She coughed several times deliberately. No one noticed at first. After Shen Lian coughed seven or eight times, a man turned his head and saw Shen Lian, laughing: "Master Shen, hurry and come and see, Master Hu brought his black general here today, it looks a bit patient!"
Shen Lian was even jealous. The man saw Shen Lian squeezing his eyebrows and was a little strange. He glanced to the side. When he saw a young man standing beside him, he had never seen it before. Can't help asking: "Who are you?"
On his question, several other officials recovered and turned their heads to look at Qi Ning.
Qing Ning smiled and did not say anything, but saw an official stepping forward two steps, kneeling down: "The Cao Sen, who was audited by the Humble Auditor, has met Hou Ye!"
As soon as other officials heard the word "Hou Ye", they didn't care much, and they knelt down to worship, Qi Ning glanced and smiled, "Get up."
Everyone got up, and Qi Ning glanced at Shen Lian with a smile: "Shen Zhushi told me that the adults in the Yamen are busy doing business. I was curious, so I came over and took a look." The cricket tank glanced and smiled, "Everyone likes this trick?"
Secretary Cao Sen smiled and said, "Hou Ye, when we are idle in the autumn trial, we will find some fun to relax. After all, every case is a life-threatening and sloppy, if it is always tight, it is easy I have done the wrong job. There have been mistakes in other government offices, and there is still a chance to remedy it, but our Penal Department failed."
"It turns out so." Qi Ning laughed: "Do you feel very tired after entering the Yamen gate early in the morning?"
Cao Sen laughed: "This is the rule of the autumn trial. We are used to it. We play for a little while and do the errands. This has been the case all these years."
"Rules?" Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "Each line has its own rules, as the saying goes. State-owned national laws and family rules. This penal office also has its own rules. Since it is a rule~IndoMTL. com~ is not easy to destroy, you just keep playing." Raised your hand: "Please!"
The officials looked at each other, but Cao Sen smiled and beckoned: "Hou Ye is all talking, everyone will finish this fight. Old Lu, if your black general wins my boss today Qingtou, the house in the west of the city will be given to you. If I win, your tea set will be handed over."
Several officials looked embarrassed, but Qi Ning smiled slightly, said nothing, and turned to go out.
Shen Lian followed Qi Ning and went out, embarrassedly: "Hou Ye, the autumn trial has always been like this, but they never delayed the mission."
"It’s okay, I just came here for the first time, just to see you all." Qi Ning didn't change his face, with a smile on his face: "Yes, where is Master Chu? Since he is currently in charge of the affairs of the Criminal Department, I should also see him. , Ask him for advice."
Shen Lian busy said: "Hou Ye please go here, Master Chu is over there in the Law Hall."
"Lead the way!" Qi Ning carried his hands on his shoulders and looked quite relaxed. Shen Lian was very respectful in leading the way in the front and passed through the hall, but Qi Ning found out that the officers of the Criminal Department saw themselves, but saluted them far away, But not close to each other--
