Pen Interest Pavilion www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the sun and moon wind! The Ministry of Justice and its officials naturally know that the case of the armory was handed over to the Da Lisi, Lu Junzhong is calm and relaxed, but Zhu Dongshan and others are quite a bit stunned.
After the case of Wu De Fang was uncovered, the officials of the Ministry of Justice were waiting to follow the Lord of the Ministry to show their skills.
Fan Wenzheng's case, the Ministry of Justice management has been a lot of reward, this case is even bigger than last time, more people are involved, if you can detect the saint's heart pleased, the group will inevitably be rewarded again.
The decree from the palace, but let the Da Lisi will take the case away, which makes the Ministry of Justice officials greatly disappointed.
Some people are even apprehensive, thinking that the last case did not satisfy the sage, so they let the Da Lisi take over the case?
The Ministry of Justice officials are very calculating, all cunning, but also because of this, always think more than others.
Since the sage ascended to the throne, once equal to the Ministry of Justice, the Da Lisi has long been stepped on by the Ministry of Justice, the Da Lisi officials see the Ministry of Justice officials, it is all modest and courteous, to put it bluntly, for so many years, the Ministry of Justice has been eating meat, while the Da Lisi just follow the mouth of soup.
Now this big case was taken by the Da Lisi, can't it be that the sage will start to reuse the Da Lisi?
Zhu Dongshan looked at the fiddling with the instruments of torture Lu Junzhong, the heart is really some shock.
The Ministry of Lu seems not to think that the Da Lisi take over the case, nor any unhappy emotions, see Zhu Dongshan face some unpleasant, smiled: "You also think the sage is to reuse Da Lisi?"
"The official did not think that way." Zhu Dongshan said softly: "I am just worried that if this case is really done properly by the Da Lisi, it will still have some impact on us."
Lu Junzhong laughed strangely and said, "Properly handled? Su Yu's ability to handle a small case of chicken and garlic is also suitable, such a big case, our Lord Su can not do the next." Put down the torture equipment in his hands, said lightly: "The sage is so wise, know that once we handle the case, there will be results, and the sage does not want to have results so quickly this time, or the sage's heart is like a mirror, do not want to make the case too big, and do not want us to really uncover the nobleman behind."
Zhu Dongshan took two steps forward and said softly, "Sir, are you saying that the palace already knows who the real culprit is behind this?"
"Dongshan, even we probably have a number in our hearts, not to mention the sage?" Lu Junzhong one hand behind his back, stroking his goatee: "Think about it, Xue Ke Yong pulled the carriage to the Ministry of War Yamen but half a day, the palace sent a decree for the Da Lisi to investigate the case, the Da Lisi immediately invited the head of the three divisions of the General Weapons Division, the Treasury Division and the Department of Support to the Da Lisi, this is not Su Yu's intention, but the palace's intention." A wry smile spread across his lips: "This proves that the sage knows that this case is not just the work of the Treasury Department, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of the Household are involved."
Zhu Dongshan nodded his head and said, "The sage is wise, so he naturally has a good understanding of this."
"The three important departments of the three ministries are linked together, and it was done quietly and was not revealed until today, how many people can do it?" Lu Junzhong lightly smiled: "to do this thing, at least two conditions. The first, naturally, is to have the ability to make the three divisions to do his bidding, and do not dare to disobey. The second, naturally, is to have the courage, no bear's heart and leopard's guts
The second, naturally, is to have the courage, without the courage of the bear, who dares to do such great things behind the back of the palace?"
Zhu Dongshan immediately said: "Your Excellency's words are very true, the subordinate also thought so."
"In this way, the person behind the curtain is already known." Lu Junzhong said with a smile: "Throughout the dynasty, there are only a few people who have the guts and ability to do such a big case."
Zhu Dongshan said in a low voice: "I think, among those people, Her Highness should not have anything to do with this case."
"Oh?" Lu Junzhong laughed: "Why do you think so?"
"Her Highness is in charge of the internal treasury, she is not short of silver." Zhu Dongshan came closer and whispered: "And this silver, the princess is certainly not looking at."
Lu Junzhong smiled and said, "So you think the noble person behind the curtain is the minister of state?"
"The first thing that comes to my mind is the Minister of State." Zhu Dongshan sighed: "But pondering the afternoon, the more pondering the more I think it is not right. The Minister of State has been awarded ten thousand households, the palace also often rewarded, the capital and outside the filial piety of their Xiahou family carloads, to put it bluntly, he really want silver, send people to the local circle, hundreds of thousands of silver can easily be recovered. The wisdom of the side of the wisdom of the place appeared only a very small part of the silver, embezzlement down, a year down the top of the day is only a hundred thousand silver, you say the Minister of State so shrewd people, will not because of this only a hundred thousand silver to go to this trip?"
Lu Junzhong nodded and laughed: "You are right, the Minister and the Princess are both shrewd people, even if they are confused, it is impossible to do such things. In fact, this case itself is not difficult, but no one dares to tear the mouth. Now Qin Yi will tear open the mouth, the palace as long as they really want to investigate, within a few days, the case will come to light." Stroke of the beard: "We do not need to rush, waiting for the Da Lisi side first to detect."
"Your Excellency means that the sage let the Da Lisi to investigate, is not want this case really uncovered?" Zhu Dongshan asked cautiously.
Lu Junzhong was silent for a while before saying, "It depends on what the nobleman behind it thinks. If he is afraid, the sage may turn a blind eye and let the case go as soon as possible. In fact, the arrest of the three chiefs, the Palace's meaning has been very obvious, the case can be to the three chiefs, when the time to pull a bunch of people from the three Yamen chopped off the head on the good. Just ..... If someone is smart, think the palace is stupid, perhaps this case in the end to return to our hands."
Zhu Dongshan see Lu Junzhong into the heart, the heart is also relieved.
As long as the Palace is not trying to use the Da Lisi to suppress the Ministry of Justice, then even if you give the Da Lisi side some sweetness, it is not a big deal, not to mention that the case was taken over by the Da Lisi, for the Da Lisi, it may not be sweetness, it may just be bitter water.
Zhu Dongshan thought is not wrong.
The Da Lisi Secretary Su Yu is now really worried about the head are big.
Situated on Xuanwu Street, the Da Lisi government office is a clean government office in Kyoto, the Ministry of Justice is firmly in control of the imperial criminal justice, the Da Lisi's power has not only been repeatedly reduced, and the government office has also undergone several downsizing, the number of officials has been reduced by nearly half compared to the time of the previous emperor.
The duties of most of the officials of the Da Lisi, is on time every day to the Yamen office, play chess and drink tea, to the point of returning home, idle nothing to do.
Now suddenly take over a big case, many people in the magistrate's office have not been able to come back to their senses.
Su Yu official business is not much, usually pay attention to health, the most common words to officials is to tell everyone to stop arrogance and impatience, everything is treated with a normal heart, do not be anxious, but now the Da Lisi officials, the most anxious is he.
The decree says very clearly that the Da Lisi has only one day to present the confessions of the three masters to the palace within one day.
The moment he received the decree, Lord Su was a little excited, feeling that his chance to make merit seems to have arrived.
When the sudden rise of the Ministry of Justice, is not precisely Lu Junzhong for the saints to detect the case of Zhao Yan bracket, since then Lu Junzhong flattened, and then a succession of big cases, not only step by step, but also the power of the Da Lisi little by little to take away weakened.
This time there is an opportunity, if it can be done to the satisfaction of the palace, may not be unable to revitalize the Da Lisi.
But soon he understood that the idea is good, but it is really difficult to do it.
The three chiefs were brought to the Da Lisi in order to prevent the three from giving confessions, and did not even let the three see each other, each in a room imprisoned, and then discharged the most experienced interrogation officers of the Da Lisi overnight interrogation.
Su Yu even thought, since the sage let within a day to review the oral confession, if the Da Lisi can be sent to the palace quickly after the dawn of tomorrow, will certainly make the sage's heart pleased.
But he doesn't have that in mind now.
Not to mention tomorrow morning, as long as you can really get the three confessions within a day, it is a blessing from the Buddha.
After the three principals entered the Da Lisi, almost coincidentally became dumb and deaf, no matter how to ask, the three are surprisingly shut up, except for a few polite words when they first entered the Yamen, the case of the arsenal, the three did not say a word.
Although the palace has decreed that the interrogation of the three confessions, but did not say that the case must be the work of these three people, at the moment can only be suspects.
After all, there is an official body, in the absence of any evidence to prove that the three people teamed up to commit the crime, Su Yu did not even dare to directly torture these three people.
Until late into the night after, were not able to pull a word out of the three mouths.
Su Yu had to personally come down to the house where Han Di, the head of the Treasury Department of the Ministry of War, was imprisoned. Once he entered, he was cold-faced, and when he saw that Han Di was still sitting on a chair, he was even more unpleasant: "Someone, remove his chair!
The magistrate removed Han Di's seat, waiting for Han Di to stand, Su Yu just sat down in front of Han Di's chair, sizing up Han Di, coldly said: "Han Di, you must understand, this official is ordered to examine the case. This case has alarmed the palace, whether you say or not, the case must be thoroughly investigated to the end. If you can confess early and truthfully, read your initiative to confess, this official can also plead for you to the sage, if you are stubborn, this official wants to protect you is not."
Han Di saw the Da Lisi Secretary personally to interrogate, finally sighed and said: "If you have evidence, whether to kill or shut down, all do as you wish. Since I was brought to the Da Lisi, I did not want to leave alive, the truth of this case, I have forgotten."
"You .....!" Su Yu was extremely angry and said sternly, "Han Di, is this how you deal with this official? Do you want this official to talk back to the palace like this?"
