Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice heard the sound of drumming outside the government office early in the morning.

"Someone was beating drums early in the morning to complain? Go outside to see what's going on?" the Minister of Criminal Affairs ordered.

The little officials around came back quickly, and when they came back, they turned pale with shock, "Pei Shangshu, someone is complaining outside."

"If you complain, you complain. What are you doing in such a panic? Are there not many people who are on duty all day in the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Pei Shangshu looked impatient.

"No...not...he said he was going to sue Linjia Dalang and the crown prince Taifu." The little official said in a panic.

"What?" Pei Shangshu was taken aback, he could not help pointing at the little official and said, "Who do you think he wants to sue? Which Lin's family? Which Grand Tutor?"

Lin's surname is not considered a common surname. Generally, most people with this surname are related to the king of Xining.As for the prince and Taifu, there is no need to say more.

"It's Da Lang and Sun Taifu from the family of the minister of the Ministry of Industry." The little official said quickly, and at the end, he added: "I heard that they came all the way from Dali Temple."

"Dali Temple? He actually went to Dali Temple to file a complaint, so why did he come to the Ministry of Punishment?" The minister of the Ministry of Industry is the cousin of Wang Zhenger Bajing of Xining, and Taifu Sun is the teacher of His Highness the Crown Prince.

That person sued these two at once, which yamen would dare to accept it?

Is this an attempt to offend both the old and the new nobles at once?

He climbed to a high position conscientiously, neither a new aristocrat nor an old aristocrat, how dare he take such a case?

"I heard that Dali Temple refused to accept this case, so we came to our Ministry of Punishment again."

"This old fox." Pei Shangshu cursed secretly.

"Pei Shangshu, what should we do?" the little official couldn't help asking.

What else can I do?Dali Temple didn't dare to pick it up, so would they dare to pick it up?

Pei Shangshu waved his hand, "Go and send people away."

The little official shook his head, and said in embarrassment: "I'm afraid I can't do it? It is said that after this man came out of Dali Temple, he beat gongs and drums all the way. He complained about his grievances and went all the way to our Ministry of Punishment. He was surrounded by many people. Said that the government should redress his grievances, if he is sent away at this time, I'm afraid we will be outraged."

Pei Shangshu's face turned pale.

"Who is suing? What charges?" Pei Shangshu gritted his teeth and asked.

"It's a young man. He wants to sue Dalang Linjia to imprison him and force him to be a ghostwriter. Sun Taifu occupies land in the south of the Yangtze River and kills his father."

Pei Shangshu's face became more and more ugly, no wonder Dali Temple did not dare to accept this case, this is not a trivial case.

"Pei Shangshu, what should we do now?" the little official asked hurriedly.

"Accept his case first, and stabilize the people before we talk about it." Afterwards, when the news passed, he was thinking about how to deal with it.

No, this matter cannot be handled by him.

Pei Shangshu is not courageous, but he is not stupid. How can a young man dare to sue these two high-ranking officials?Taifu Sun naturally didn't need to say much. Although Lin Shilang is just a small servant, his surname is "Lin".

There might be a certain noble person behind this matter who is fueling the flames. If he accepts this case and handles this matter, Bao Buqi will be mixed into this muddy water.If he can't suppress this matter by then, he will definitely offend someone.

Pei Shangshu thought for a while, his eyes darkened, "Also, from today onwards, if I call myself sick, this matter will be handled by Li Shilang."

Li Chong is the elder brother of Li Niangniang in the palace, he can be described as a new rich man.It's better than being handled by a powerless minister like myself.

……

Li Wen got Yuan Ce's advice, and went all the way to the Ministry of Punishment with drums and gongs.There were a lot of people along the street from Dali Temple to Xingbu, and he made such a fuss that almost half of the people in Weiling knew about it.

Including two defendants.

After hearing about this incident, Lin Zengben was drinking outside.He hurried back to his home.

"Father, then..."

"Pa——" Lin Yuan hadn't finished his words when Lin Yuan slapped him, "You villain, you have caused such a big trouble, didn't you say that he must not survive because he offended a nobleman? Reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

At this time, Lin Zeng couldn't care about the burning pain on his face, and quickly knelt down, "Father, I don't know, and Li Wen not only sued us, he also sued Sun Taifu, why didn't my son think of it? Sun Taifu's people are so incompetent. They can make people run away."

He knew how poor Li Wen's body was, if not for this, he might not be able to lock Li Wen.

"The matter has come to this, and you still want to blame others." Lin Yuan hated that iron can't be made into steel.

"Then...then...what should Dad do? The Ministry of Punishment accepted the case."

"If you accept it, then accept it. Does the Minister of Criminal Affairs really dare to investigate this case?" Lin Yuan asked back.

"But it has attracted a lot of people..."

"So what? It is precisely because it has attracted a lot of people that the Ministry of Criminal Justice accepted the case. If not, why do you think Dali Temple didn't accept this case in the first place?" Lin Yuan looked at his stupid son, wishing he could go up and give it to him. He has two feet.

Hearing what his father said, Lin Song was relieved, and then he couldn't help laughing, and said flatteringly: "Father said the same thing, if the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment really dares to take care of this matter, Then I won’t call him sick, and let the Minister of Criminal Affairs handle this matter.”

Lin Yuan's expression changed, "What did you say?"

Lin Yuan was a bit dazed, before he could speak, Lin Yuan continued to ask: "Which servant did you hand it over to?"

There are two servants in the Ministry of Punishment.

"It seems to be Li Shilang." Lin Zi didn't know why, so he didn't know what made his father show such an expression.

"Elder brother of Empress Li in the palace?" Lin Yuan couldn't believe it.

Lin Song nodded, "It seems...wh...what's wrong?"

Of the two people Li Wen told, the case of Lin Present was naturally the best to deal with, after all, enclosing the land involved too many conflicts of interest.But captivity is different.

Moreover, he is the cousin of King Xining.

But the servant of the Ministry of Justice is the elder brother of Concubine Li in the palace, which is equivalent to handing over this matter to the new nobles.In this way, it is quite bad.

Li Wen passed on two cases, and the Ministry of Punishment also took over, but this does not mean that the Ministry of Punishment has to deal with two cases.He only needs to deal with one first to appease public outrage.

For the other, it can be completely suppressed.

Moreover, dealing with the case of impending gifts may also be effective in suppressing the old aristocrats.

One must know that the Li family was not treated very well in the family of the new nobles, and Concubine Li in the palace was also neglected.And if he handles this matter well, he can reverse the current situation.

Suppressing the old aristocrats can please the Holy Majesty, and keeping the prince and Taifu can please the queen, which is almost killing two birds with one stone.

"You bastard." Lin Yuan couldn't help cursing again, he pointed at Lin Chong, "Do you know how much trouble you have caused me?"

He gave Lin Song a kick, and then cursed angrily: "You should reflect on yourself at home, without my order, you are not allowed to go in and out at will."

After speaking, he walked away quickly.
