Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qin Xiao rode a cart to the front gate of the Criminal Department Office. It was not Qin Xiao who was shocked, but the guards of other offices.

The black-clothed government officer in front of the criminal department opened his eyes wide when he saw the carriage stopped in front of the door, and he couldn't believe it.

Since the saint’s accession to the throne, through Lu Junzhong’s efforts, the Criminal Ministry has become synonymous with death horror. The government departments in the Kingdom can try not to contact the Criminal Ministry as much as possible, and even the salary and money allocated by the Household Ministry must be the first thing that comes to mind. Criminal Ministry.

On Suzaku Street, except for the officials of the Criminal Department, whoever they are seeing the gloomy yamen with the black high wall, they should try their best to stay as far away as possible, and even some people would rather take a detour than pass by the criminal department.

Qin Xiao rode a cart and parked outside the front gate of the Criminal Ministry. For most people, it was almost unimaginable.

In recent years, the Criminal Ministry did not continue to hunt and kill officials in the DPRK, but the bloodthirsty temperament of Lu Junzhong, the king of blood, has not disappeared. Moreover, within the high walls of the Criminal Ministry, the bleeding has never stopped. Over.

Officials cannot be investigated, but there are naturally many common people committing crimes.

In the past two years, Lu Butang has not been able to set off bloody crimes in Kyoto. He turned his eyes to the outside of Kyoto. Many major cases and important cases in the local prefectures failed to be tried in time. Lu Butang sent the criminals to Kyoto for trial. After learning about Lu Butang’s habit, many local cases deliberately did not get the results and sent them to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Some local officials even tried their best to make important cases, just like Send the case to Kyoto like a generous gift.

If Lu Butang is happy, hooks up, and transfers from the local to the Kyoto Penalty Department, it will have a bright future.

Many people know that it took only less than two years for Lu Junzhong to be promoted from the commander of the Criminal Department to the position of Shangshu in the Criminal Department. Such a speed is almost unprecedented in the empire.

Not only were the heads of the Ministry in steady progress, but also the officials under his hand. After every major case, a large number of people were rewarded for promotion.

If you want to get promoted and get rich, it is definitely a shortcut to enter the criminal ministry.

Nowadays, a young man was riding a cart and stopped in front of the Xingfang Yamen, blocking the main entrance. This was almost death.

The officials of the Criminal Ministry were rejected by other bureaucrats, but they never looked down on others in their eyes. One of the officials sternly shouted: "Who is so bold and dare to block in front of the Criminal Ministry's yamen and get out of the way without wanting to die."

Instead of walking away, Qin Xiao rolled over and got off his horse. He jumped onto the cart behind and picked up a drumstick. Apart from anything else, he banged on the big drum fixed on the cart. .

The rumbling sound of the big drum instantly spread far away in Suzaku Street.

The officials of the Criminal Ministry have changed their colors.

I've seen someone looking for death, but I haven't seen such a way of looking for death.

The two black-clothed government officials rushed forward, and one of them reached out to pull Qin Xiao off the car, but suddenly heard Qin Xiao yelling: "Please be the master, please be the master!" Beat the drum and shout loudly.

When he shouted like this, the ya who wanted to tore him from the car was startled, and when he looked at his companions, they were all surprised.

The morning sun is rising, just when the government offices on Zhuque Street are entering their work. Many officials come and go on Zhuque Street, some on horseback, sedan chair, and walking.

When the officials passed by the Xing Department’s yamen, they all leaned to the other side as much as possible, keeping a distance from this side.

Qin Xiao stopped in front of the Xingbu Yamen on horseback and cart

Many officials passing by were surprised, but they couldn't stop. At this time, Qin Xiao beat the drum and shouted, and many officials stopped to look far, with different expressions.

Although the two black-clothed government officials were surprised, they knew that Qin Xiao was so presumptuous in front of the yamen, and it was only him who had been investigated from above. One of them had jumped into the car and reached out to grab Qin Xiao’s arm, but Qin Xiao was extremely flexible. He avoided the ground, walked around to the other side of the drum, continued to beat the drum, still yelling "Master is the master".

The other Yacha also jumped into the car. The drum was big and the cart was naturally not small. Qin Xiao's figure flickered, like a loach. Both Yacha wanted to hold Qin Xiao, but Qin Xiao flashed left. Right Huang, he wanted to catch every time he saw it, but he was flashed by Qin Xiao. The difference made him look extremely embarrassed.

The onlookers were very disgusted with the people in the Criminal Ministry, and they were amused when they saw the two black-clothed liars in a mess.

Suddenly I saw a carriage coming and stopped in front of the Yamen. A black-robed official got down from the carriage. The officials watching from a distance saw the black-robed officials and immediately dispersed, and they dared not continue watching the show.

The black-robed official was fat, with a high belly. After getting off the carriage, the carriage quickly left. The man saw the cart parked in front of the Yamen, and saw the big drum. His fat face was cold, and he said solemnly: " How is this going?"

"My lord, this person is making trouble in front of the yamen." A black-clothed yaman who was holding Qin Xiao saw the black-robed official, jumped off the cart and bowed respectfully: "He is beating the drum here, subordinates. About to capture him."

The black-robed official saw another black-clothed government official who was embarrassed by Qin Xiaodong hiding on the cart, snorted coldly, and cursed: "Useless things." He shouted at Qin Xiao: "You Who is it? How dare you make a noise in front of the Xingbu Yamen?"

Qin Xiao naturally got off the black robe official from the carriage.

He knew that Lu Junzhong, the chief of the Criminal Department, was thin and thin. Naturally, the person in front of him could not be Lu Junzhong, but he put down his drumsticks and said to the black-robed official: "My lord, I'm here to report to the officer, please help me. Call the shots."

"Report the official to Kyoto Prefecture." The black-robed official said in an angry voice: "For the Kyoto case, you go to the Kyoto Prefecture and run to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Are you looking for death?" Xiangyacha ordered: "Hit him thirty sticks. Then let him go, how can the Criminal Department be a place to make noisy things."

Qin Xiao said immediately: "My lord, this case cannot be handled by Kyoto Prefecture, so I must bother the lords of the Criminal Department."

"Is it murder or arson?" The black-robed official said: "The criminal department can handle the murder and arson case. If they can't handle it, they will naturally report to this side. You don't need to run over by yourself." No interest and one The commoner entangled, went to the gate of the official office, and climbed the steps.

Qin Xiao shouted again: "Someone has disappeared. I'm here to report to the official because I beg you to help find someone."

Seeing Qin Xiao's entanglement and asking the Criminal Department to help find someone, the black-robed officer turned his head and said, "Grab him and hit him with fifty sticks. It is really unreasonable to ask the Criminal Department to find someone for him. Is it crazy? It deserves to be killed."

"Sir, the young one comes from Xiling." Qin Xiao raised his hand, holding a tiger head jade pendant in his hand: "Do you know this?"

Under the rising sun, the tiger head jade pendant is crystal clear, and the tiger head fangs carved on the jade pendant are like knives, majestic and majestic.

The black-robed official saw Yu Pei, changed its color slightly, turned and went down the steps, fell on the edge of the cart, and stretched out his hand and said, "Take me to see."

Qin Xiao handed the tiger-head jade pendant over, the black robe official took it, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. His expression of irritation became severe, raised his head, and handed the jade pendant to the man who was still standing on the cart. Qin Xiao asked, "You are Hei Yuye

crow?"

Qin Xiao did not deny that he wanted to reveal the identity of the Black Feather Night Crow, nodded, and put the tiger head jade pendant into his arms.

"You said someone was missing, what's the matter?" The black robe official thought for a while and finally asked.

Others ran to the Xingbu Yamen to help find people, they were teasing the Xingbu, but it was no small thing for the Black Feather Night Crow to find someone.

"I'm from Xiling." Qin Xiao said sternly: "Xiling rebellion. The three of us came to Kyoto day and night to report emergency military information to the court, but my two companions suddenly disappeared. After a few days, I looked around. , But there is no news. There is really no way, so I came to the Criminal Ministry. This matter is very important, and I think only the Criminal Ministry can help me find them." Handed over: "Please let the adults call the shots."

He did not say that the group of four people, Yu Wen Chengchao left with the Queen Mother's Association half way, did not enter the capital, Qin Xiao naturally did not need to tell this.

The black robe official nodded and said, "What's your name?"

"Qin Xiao, happy Xiao!"

"I see." The black robe official said: "You just wait here, I'll report it." Without waiting for Qin Xiao to say anything, he turned around and entered the criminal department's yamen.

The black high wall, like a coffin, occupies a very wide area. There are four divisions. The prison is not here, but the sixteen gates are behind the prison. There are also prisons for temporary imprisonment, although it is not comparable to the prison. The prison is huge, but it can accommodate hundreds of people.

There are three to four hundred officials, large and small, in the Office of the Criminal Ministry. Compared with other branches of the Yamen, there are still factions. There is only one faction in the Yamen of the Criminal Ministry, and that is all those who are loyal to Lu Junzhong.

Lu Junzhong is the emperor of this black yamen, under him, everyone respects him like a god.

The black-robed official is the servant of the Criminal Ministry, his name is Zhu Dongshan, just like Lu Junzhong’s backyard. Zhu Dongshan was Lu Junzhong’s righteousness. He was originally just a local official. He was good at extorting confessions with various punishments, and even wrote one. This book of various types of torture is well-known with pictures and texts.

After Lu Junzhong gained power, he immediately enlisted his party members and transferred Zhu Dongshan from the local area to the Criminal Ministry. In just a few years, he was also promoted all the way, from the official to the criminal minister, and became Lu Junzhong's right-hand man.

"Where is the ministry?" Zhu Dongshan asked an official immediately.

Lu Junzhong has a mansion in Kyoto and has many wives, but this person prefers to live in the yamen of the Xingbu, and spend more than half a month in the yamen.

According to Lu Junzhong, every brick and tile of the Criminal Department’s Yamen smelled of blood, and the smell of blood can make his mind clear. In Lu Junzhong’s heart, the Criminal Ministry’s official office is his real home.

"My lord, at the torture room!" the official replied.

The torture room is where the sixteen gates are located, behind the official office of the Criminal Ministry. Zhu Dongshan quickened his pace. He was panting before he walked far, but he still did not slow down.

The black boulders are built into two rows of houses, with eight on each side. The doors of the eight houses on the left are painted red, and the eight doors on the right are black.

Approaching here, there was a smell of blood that could not dissipate in the air.

Zhu Dongshan passed through the bluestone road in the middle of the Sixteen Gates and reached the black house facing the road. He stood in front of the door and respectfully said: "My lord, you have something to report!"

"Dongshan, come in quickly." A slightly hoarse voice came from inside: "I'll show you a good thing!"
