Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 400 The Means of the Ministry of Punishment

Fengtian Hall was very quiet, Kaiji came out respectfully, and came out with his head slightly lowered to reply: "I feel that it is my honor to be able to investigate the case with His Majesty. Defend the majesty of my Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao was standing next to him. He had heard from Jin Yiwei many times before that there was money to buy and sell clean old and new cells and food in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, but there was no definite evidence.

It has to be said that this time the common people blocked the road and filed a complaint, which happened to be a big opening.It aroused Lao Zhu's attention.

Emperor Zhu blinked at Zhu Biao and motioned Zhu Biao to continue asking.

Let me get the limelight again...Zhu Biao cleared his throat and said, "Kaiji, as far as Gu knows, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice uses money to buy penalties and prisons. Can you guarantee that this has never happened?"

"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it has never been heard that a convicted prisoner who killed someone can walk out of the prison."

"His Royal Highness, I can't guarantee that Kaiji never happened. I would rather believe it than believe it. Since there is any doubt, please give your Majesty and Your Highness time to investigate this matter clearly."

Kaiji didn't have a clue either.

Regarding Liu Xiong's matter back then, someone had hinted at it and offered money, but he refused.The big prison is under the jurisdiction of the head of the Ministry of Punishment and the assistant minister, and the prison guards and prison doctors are under the jurisdiction of the prison.

On weekdays, I only personally intervene in major cases, and report the rest to the bottom.

There must be filth and evil.

All the officials were surprised.The Ministry of Punishment is not an ordinary yamen, and there are even incidents of paying for one's life.

Hu Weiyong turned his head and saw Chen Ning, who was pale and sweating, feeling a little strange.But he wouldn't ask, and he never spoke.

Zhu Biao glanced at the officials and saw that Chen Ning's face was pale with his head slightly lowered, and he felt very strange and curious.

The Ministry of Punishment is in the capital, and if there is a problem, I am afraid that the people involved will be court officials, not small fish or shrimps.

Therefore, Zhu Biao did not force Kaiji to clear up the matter of the prison of the Ministry of Punishment at once. It will take time to investigate this matter.

Emperor Zhu went to investigate in person, and the officials felt deep pressure.

If you have something to do, you can go to court if you have nothing to do.

Hundreds of officials rushed down the steps, Kai Ji looked like he was being roasted on the fire, fidgeting and rushing to the Ministry of Punishment.

"Kaishangshu." Chen Ning, the official censor, shouted behind him: "Wait for me, let's go together."

The sun shines on the hall behind the officials, and the three big characters of Fengtian Temple shine brightly.

This Chen Ning is weird, discussing the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment, why is he shaking, and it can't be because of the urgency to urinate, Zhu Biao stood at the gate of the hall, observing the figures of all the officials.

The supervisory censor Han Yike once said that when this Chen Ning was doing things every day, he would hold the purple sand pot with one hand and let other people do the work.On weekdays, he would talk about what Lao Zhu liked to hear.

This is the same as Tujie, the two of them are redundant branches that can only absorb nutrients.

In contrast, Kaiji is very talented in government affairs, so Lao Zhu put him in the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment to manage the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Biao'er, have you ever been to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Emperor Zhu's face was calm, leaning against the white stone railing carved with dragon patterns, tickling himself with one hand behind his back.

"The last time Sun Xuan was interrogated, he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. There is no big prison." Zhu Biao said truthfully.

He seldom goes to the big prison. After all, there are so many things to do every day, and whoever is bored will go there.

"You have to go, you have to go often. The prison can see the filthiest place in the imperial court, where there is no sky, where corruption and evil breeds." Emperor Zhu stood up straight and stretched his waist: "Go, come with us to the Ministry of Justice big prison."

It seems that today's lunch cannot be eaten in the palace.Or, if it is eaten in the palace, Gu does not know which fish to eat with.

Sure enough, there are more women, which will affect my enjoyment of eating. It is better to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to torture people.

These days, Emperor Zhu took the initiative to take Zhu Biao to walk around, and became more active with civil officials, and learned a lot.

Anyone who is not blind knows that this is His Majesty's intention to train the prince.

Ministry of Punishment.

Kaiji sat in the yamen, the herbal tea next to him was chilled, it was cool and comfortable.However, looking at the two subordinates in front of him, he always felt a little uneasy.

Ever since he heard yesterday that some people stopped the prince's wedding party and said they would sue the Ministry of Punishment, he was very disturbed.

This morning, His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince only discussed this matter, suing the Ministry of Punishment.

In the end, His Majesty didn't blame him, but when he played in person, he still had great doubts about him and the Ministry of Justice, and his heart was burning.

It just so happened that the head of the criminal department and the assistant minister of the criminal department sat down leisurely, drinking iced tea, they were even bigger than themselves.

Kaiji directly pointed out whether Liu Xiong really died of a sudden illness when he told the Ministry of Criminal Affairs about Liu Xiong, or that someone took bribes from it and released the condemned prisoner.

"You two tell the truth, whether or not you have messed around with Liu Xiong's affairs is a matter of your and my fate." Kaiji took off his black hat and put it on the table.

"Kai Shangshu, the two of us worked hard and diligently for the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and never dared to do this kind of corruption and accept bribes, and go through the back door for criminals. Please open the Shangshu to investigate clearly."

"We checked it ourselves, and it was true that Liu Xiong died of a sudden illness. Perhaps Liu Xiong's father, Liu Shao, was rich, and Zhang Fuxing wanted to blackmail him."

Kaiji looked at the expressions of the two, and felt that the two might not be lying, it was the commoner named Zhang Fuxing, who was so angry that his son died, so he bit him.

"This morning, the people who complained said that the jailer told him about it, but he promised the prison guard of the Ministry of Punishment that he would not tell it. You should go down and investigate this matter carefully to see if Liu Xiong is really dead or fake. , and then I will enter the palace to give His Majesty an explanation."

"I will investigate this matter. I hope you two will report it truthfully. After all, no common people would dare to go to Fengtian Temple just to slander and blackmail."

Kaiji stood up: "I will ask you one last time, is there any such thing?"

The head of the Criminal Department and the Minister of the Criminal Department hurriedly replied to Kaiji: "There is absolutely no such thing."

"Well, let's trust you for now. If something goes wrong, your heads will have to be moved." Kaiji said and walked away.

Ke Hang, the head of the criminal department behind him, and Wei Jiang, the servant of the criminal department, looked at each other, and their faces became ugly.

"This matter was done seamlessly. Who leaked the news? Who knew about Liu Xiong at the time, check who leaked it, and deal with it immediately after finding out." gesture.

The servant of the criminal department and the head of the criminal department had murderous intent in their eyes. As long as they could survive this difficult time, it would be easy for a few jailers to die accidentally.

The prison of the Ministry of punishment.

"Some people say that our big prison is the [-]th floor of hell on earth. They say that we are blood-sucking pawns. It's nonsense. This is obviously nonsense."

"We accompany them every day, this group of people who are dying to be detained. We don't have to worry about eating and drinking."

The two people who spoke were wearing blue soap official clothes and oilcloth officials on their heads.A pair of white black-faced cloth boots under the feet.

It is the jailer who is on duty today.

"Officer, can I have a bowl of water?" An old man's voice came from the innermost cell.

"Drinking water? Ten cents." The jailer who spoke then turned his head away: "Damn it, the waiter in the restaurant brings tea and water, and there is money for legs and feet. Let's take care of these grandchildren and use them as shit."

The two were complaining, and suddenly the head of the prison ran over to inform: "Your Majesty and the prince have arrived at the entrance of the criminal department. Tell these prisoners to shut their mouths tightly. Whoever dares to talk nonsense will kill him at night."

The big prison became quiet in an instant, and the emperor came down, so he had to put on a show, after this point, everything would be easy to handle.

　Ask for a ticket.
