The Golden Age Chapter 533: Suzaku fights for the front

There are more than 20 government offices, large and small, on Zhuque Street. All of these government offices are important government offices of the empire. Among the six departments, there are three departments of soldiers, criminals, and laborers. They are also all figures of the empire who have a head and a face.

Because of this, even if they walk through the street, the officials are always full of crowns and flaps, and they are cautious, lest they be rude and laugh at other government officials.

For seventeen years since the saint became the throne, Suzaku Street has always been solemn and solemn.

But recently, this street seems to be possessed, and strange things happen frequently.

First, someone beat the drum in front of the criminal department, then someone beheaded the guards of the government in front of the Dali Temple, and today it was the two major yamen fought against each other. All these things shocked the four people. But it was Qin Xiao who provoked these things.

Because Qin Xiao killed the guards of the government office in front of him, the two big law sects fought in groups on the street, and they really didn’t shock the nearby yamen.

The Ministry of Justice is a frightening place with the most cruel officials in the empire. Although Dali Temple has always been the most unsavory yamen, now Qin Xiao has been transferred to Dali Temple, this master Xiao Qin It is the saint who has recently become one of the new ministers.

The two big yamen fought, and no one dared to get in with the other yamen. The doors were closed tightly and kept away.

At this moment on Zhuque Street, the torture staff of Dali Temple beat the people of the torture department. The people of the torture department had little power to fight back. At first, it was only the torture of the Dali temple that punched and kicked the people of the torture department. Later, it was not just because of Dali. The temple officials wanted to vent the long-repressed anger in their hearts, but still wanted to show it to Master Xiao Qin. Dali temple officials including Fei Xin also squeezed forward, raising their feet and kicking everyone in the penalty department.

Zhu Dongshan, the servant of the criminal ministry, had been beaten with blood and bruises all over his body, lying on the ground and shrank into a ball, humming Haw's body twitching straight.

Yuwen Huaiqian had already been pulled aside by the people of Dali Temple to avoid being accidentally injured.

Qin Xiao was standing not far away with his hands on his back, talking repeatedly to discourage, but the people in Dali Temple finally had the opportunity to vent their anger, and even had the opportunity to show their loyalty in front of Master Xiao Qin. stop.

I only waited for a shout to come, and someone looked up, only to see a large group of officers from the Criminal Department rushing over here, let alone the number fifty or sixty.

The costumes of the torture officers in Dali Temple are mainly gray, while the torture department is mainly black.

People 50 and 60 rushed over, but they were also ferocious, like a black torrent.

The people in Dali Temple stopped their hands and lined up quickly, holding large knives and torture sticks. They lined up in two rows behind Qin Xiao. On the ground behind, there were beaten and bloodied officers of the torture department lying all around. They can't get up.

The head of the Xing Department is the blood king Lu Junzhong.

Hulala rushed over. A few steps away, Lu Junzhong raised his hand to stop. The people behind Lu Junzhong all glared at the people in Dali Temple, and many of them were officials from the Criminal Ministry.

Tangtang Xing Department and Dali Temple, at this time, the two groups of people are facing each other. At first glance, it looks like two city gangs are preparing for a gang fight.

"Qin Xiao, what are you doing?" Lu Junzhong has naturally seen the people of the torture department lying on the ground wailing, their faces are cold, and they sternly said: "You are so brave to beat the officials of the torture department in the street." /

Qin Xiao said indifferently: "Where is Yun Shaoqing?"

Yun Lu immediately stepped forward and said: "Master Qin, I am here."

"Lu Butang, take a look at Yun Shaoqing first." Qin Xiao pointed at Yunlu, "Today Yun Shaoqing went to Kyoto to imprison the prisoner, but was beaten severely by someone from your penal department. Take a look. His eyes were all swollen like this, and besides him, four of the torture officers of Dali Temple were also injured. According to your Zhu Shilang, it was the people from the torture department and Master Yun that had a conflict. They bullied the less and fought so hard that even Shi Lang Zhu couldn’t stop him. It happened that we met your people on the street. The brothers saw Master Yun and his brother being beaten. They were really outraged, impulsive, and big. The lower officials have been discouraging the fight, but unfortunately, like Master Zhu, he cannot discourage him."

Lu Junzhong's eyes were cold, and he sneered: "Can't dissuade?" He said sharply: "Come here, take down all the torture officers of the Dali Temple who beat them, and bring them back to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation."

"Come here, bring Zhu Dongshan and others back to Dali Temple, and the official will interrogate them personally." Qin Xiao tit-for-tat, did not back down: "Lu Butang wants to investigate Dali Temple for beating people, and of course Dali Temple is the same. The criminal department must be held accountable for beating people."

Lu Junzhong stared at Qin Xiao's eyes, then glanced over the officials of the Dali Temple behind Qin Xiao, a sneer appeared at the corners of his mouth, and said lightly: "Han Xitong, bring the case file up!"

A few people came up immediately from behind Lu Junzhong, one of whom was thin, with a pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, and his official robe indicated that this person was also a servant of the criminal ministry.

Lu Junzhong's servants left and right, Zhu Dongshan on the left, and Han Xitong on the right. These are the cruel officials whose name is second only to Lu Junzhong.

Behind Han Xi was with two criminal officials, both holding a pile of files.

Everyone in Dali Temple didn’t know what they wanted to do, but saw that Han Xitong had already picked up a file, opened it, glanced at it, and said coldly: “Where is Zheng Xiong, the top of Dali Temple?”

Behind Qin Xiao, an official in his forties frowned, but thinking about the shelter of Mrs. Qin, he looked up and said: "I am Zheng Xiong."

"Dali Temple promoted Zheng Xiong. On the ninth day of July of the third year of Tiansheng, Cai Xu, a wife of fornication, was guilty of fornication and adultery." Han Xi said coldly: "Immediately arrest and interrogate!"

Zheng Xiong's face was pale, and his body was shaking. If it wasn't for someone to hold him, he would almost collapse.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, adultery is also a serious crime, not to mention that it is an official's fornication with a citizen's wife.

"Where is Bo Zhaohe, Lord of Dali Temple?" Han Xi glanced across the face of the officials of Dali Temple, picked up another dossier, opened it, and said loudly: "Dali Temple Lord Bo Zhaohe, Yu Tiansheng Er In June 18th, the ninth day of October of the third year of Tiansheng, and the fifth day of the first month of the fifth year of Tiansheng, they received bribes three times for a total of 470 taels of silver. They were arrested and interrogated immediately."

"The Secretary of the Dali Temple went straight to Changyi and took bribes six times from one year to five years, totaling six hundred fifty taels of silver. He was arrested and interrogated immediately."

"Dali Temple Secretary Nao Tian Xun, on the night of June 15th in the second year of Tiansheng, raped his nephew Tian Liu. After that, he had secretly fornicated with Tian Liu for several years, and he was arrested and interrogated immediately!"

Han Xi had the same cold expression, but the words were like swords. All the officials named at Dali Temple changed their expressions. Dali Temple Secretary Nao Tian Xun was even weaker, already limp on the ground, his body twitching.

Qin Xiao was expressionless.

Han Xitong continuous

Named four Dali Temple officials who were about to get the fifth dossier, Lu Junzhong finally raised his hand to stop, and then stared at Qin Xiao said: "Qin Shaoqing, these people have been investigated by the Criminal Ministry, and the Criminal Ministry There is sufficient evidence. Within two hours, all the witnesses will be brought to the Criminal Ministry. I wonder if you want to hand over the people or protect them?"

The people in Dali Temple beat everyone in the torture department just now, and they were all excited, but at this moment, they all looked astonished.

No one would have thought that Lu Junzhong turned out to be guilty of crimes in the street.

Everyone knows very well that Lu Junzhong came prepared.

These charges have actually been compiled into a file in the Criminal Department. It can be seen that the Criminal Department has long grasped the crimes of many officials of Dali Temple, but they have not been shown out. Obviously, they are in their hands and waited for the right time to come out and issue a fatal one. hit.

Since the Ministry of Criminal Affairs dared to discuss crimes in the streets, of course it already has conclusive evidence in the hands of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

The Ministry of Justice has been in charge of criminal names for more than ten years. Kyoto has heard and heard everywhere, and heard countless cases. The relevant clues from the interrogation are even more awkward, and these evidences involving officials of North Korea and China involved in the case will of course be archived by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It will not be taken out immediately, but it has seized the handle of many officials in secret.

It would be fine if you can get along with the Criminal Ministry, but once the official with the criminal evidence of the Criminal Ministry becomes an enemy of the Criminal Ministry, the Criminal Ministry will immediately take out the criminal evidence that has been filed for a long time as a weapon to put the opponent to death.

Dali Temple officials were afraid that Qin Xiao would be expelled from Dali Temple. They showed their loyalty to Master Xiao Qin one by one, but at this moment, Han Xi also pointed out the evidence of several people's crimes, and everyone at Dali Temple immediately calmed down. His mind was calm, and his heart was also frightened.

It suddenly occurred to them at this moment that the Ministry of Justice is the Ministry of Justice after all, and they are still the cruelest and cruelest judicial offices in the empire.

Looking at the look of fear on the faces of the officials at Dali Temple, Lu Junzhong's lips finally showed a smile.

What he wants is this effect.

"Lu Butang, is it a misunderstanding of the charges in these files?" Qin Xiao was calm and composed, even with a slight smile on his face.

Lu Junzhong carried his hands on his back, his small eyes were like poisonous snakes, and he said indifferently: "The four officials named, the charges are true. The official said that the Ministry of Criminal Justice has evidence of their crimes, and the evidence is within two hours. It can also be taken to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The official can guarantee that if the evidence is available, within the next twelve hours, the official can ask them to sign and detain in front of the iron evidence."

"In addition to these four Dali Temple officials, I wonder if there are other officials in Dali Temple holding evidence of guilt in the hands of the Criminal Department?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile: "Lu Butang does not need to cover Dali Temple, how many officials are involved in it? , You can say it in public."

Lu Junzhong frowned and asked: "Qin Xiao, what do you mean?"

"Lu Butang should be clear that the saint had made a decree to let the lower officials cooperate with Mr. Su to purge Dali Temple." Qin Xiao said slowly: "But I first entered Dali Temple, and I don’t know much about Dali Temple. The officials are guilty and it is not appropriate to continue to stay in Dali Temple. Which officials are innocent and can continue to serve the court, the lower officials are really confused. Now it happens that the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is helping Dali Temple to get rid of the waste, and the lower officials are grateful to Lu Butang. . Lu Butang, please continue to announce the crime, the subordinate hereby thank you." After speaking, he respectfully saluted Lu Junzhong.
