The other side.

"Are you sure you haven't lost the confidential document? Has the copyroom and the office room been checked out? Where's the dungeon? Have you checked the death penalty room? Are you sure there are no criminals escaping? "

Du Minying, the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of punishment, according to his own eyebrows, repeatedly checked the list submitted by the subordinate guards. After a while, he buckled the list on the table and looked up at his own department.

"I haven't lost anything or people. The man yamen guards fainted for a whole hour in the middle of the night. Do you think there is no problem here? Did you check the kitchen? Who did the night snack last night and who was the helper? "

The trial department was sweating all over, biting his teeth and saying: "it's been checked. The night guards usually stay in the late night, but when the accident happened, it was the first night. The night was not started at all. They fainted, and they didn't take the overpowering drugs by mouth..."

"That's all right?" With a crack, Du Minying dropped the whole stack of rosters on the table and glared angrily at the division.

The Department of arraignment neck shrank like a quail, trembling explanation: "the following people are still checking, because they don't know the purpose of the other party, so part of the prisoners in the dungeon are put on trial..."

When Du Minying heard this, she frowned a little and asked, "give me the catalogue for the two days."

The Department of examination and adjudication is busy taking out the books of examination and adjudication from a pile of documents nearby and offering them with respectful hands.

Du Minying looked at it with a calm face and a low voice: "in the next three days, there will be four sessions in total. Today's row is about Munchie's case?"

"Yes, it's Mengqi's case!" the trial director nodded like a chicken pecking at rice! As the minister himself ordered, it will be opened today! "

"And the suspect?"

"It's a child who is good in the dungeon. His subordinates have personally checked it, and there's no trace of breaking through."

Du Minying raised her head, and in her deep and suspicious eyes, a glimmer of light flashed: "what about the ice cellar? Is Munchie's corpse a dead man? "

The Division continued to nod: "the door locks of the icehouse are safe, and the body of Munch is the same as when it was put in."

Du Minying stood up and held the list of examiners. As he walked out, he said: "invite the examiners to make a general investigation of the cases involved in the list of examiners in the next three days. Mengqi's priority is that you stare at him and make sure that all the dead bodies have no traces of damage. In half an hour, I want to know the result. "

The Department for trial quickly agreed to come down and ran away in a hurry.

After the division left, Du Minying went directly to the case room of Lord Shangshu with the audit list. After pushing the door, he saw that it was empty. He calmly asked the passing soldier, "where is Lord Yang?"

The soldier pointed to the small hall of the former yamen: "the inspector of the governor's manor has come. Lord Yang is entertaining."

Du Minying frowned very tightly: "what's the bustle of the police department? Is it Wanli's business again? "

The soldier shakes his head: "Lord Shangshu is in charge of sending officer Ji to the governor's mansion. The governor's mansion hasn't bothered us for nearly a month. I don't know why. The procurator of the villa came here early in the morning, and so did Lord Ji. But I didn't mention wanfuyin after listening to that, it's like..."

"What is it?"

“.... "Door to door."

“....”

Du Minying asked, "do you think Ji Chundong has come, and is also in qianya?"

The soldier nodded.

Du Minying takes a big step and turns to leave.

When he arrived at qianya, Du Minying heard the hearty and open laughter coming from the hall. His face was deep, and he walked in quickly. His immediate superior, Yang Shangshu, was facing him face to face.

"Minying is here. Have you checked it out? What's missing? "

Du Minying saluted the old Yang Shangshu first, and then raised his eyebrows to look at Zhuang Chang and his former colleague Ji Chundong. He said to Yang Shangshu, "the Yamen hasn't found the loss of valuables for the time being. The corporal is asking people to continue to investigate the dungeon. The other party is not good, and the movement is so big. The corporal suspects that it has something to do with several major cases that are about to open."

Yang Shangshu nodded, and said to the procurator in the opposite village: "Minying is very capable. Although she is young, she is capable and courageous. Most of the time, I have to rely on these young people for my age."

Zhuang Chang's rich face also had a warm smile, and he complimented: "Yang Shangshu is still young, where can he say such a disheartened word."

Yang Shangshu waved his hand: "don't try to coax me. I am an old bone. By the way, I went into the palace. The Emperor gave me a box of dragon wells before the rain. I'll take them to you in the case room."

"Oh? That's a good thing. " Zhuang Chang's greedy smile curved his eyes.

Yang Shangshu raised two fingers, pointed to him a little, chuckle way: "you ah you, go."

As he said, Yang Shangshu took the lead in getting up. When he walked outside, he passed Du Minying. Seeing that he was still holding the examination paper in his hand, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm relieved to give it to you. I don't need to report it. You just have to deal with it."

Du Minying bowed his head and answered respectfully.

Zhuang Chang also came over there, beside the smiling Yang Shangshu. Before he left, he also looked at the things in Du Minying's hands, but Du Minying blocked his sight in time.After the two "old men" left, there were two young people left in the hall.

Du Minying was just cold and stiff. When facing Ji Chundong, he relaxed a little. He went up and patted Ji Chundong on the shoulder. He sat down beside him and asked, "what did Maitreya smile do to you in the early morning?"? What's wrong with Wanli case? "

Du Minying, the left handyman of the Ministry of punishment, was young and shrewd. He was a military champion when he was in office. Ji Chundong, who came out of the court at the same time, was an old friend for many years and a colleague.

It was only later that Ji Chundong was transferred to a place, and Du Minying had little contact with him. Recently Ji Chundong and the governor's Office jointly investigated the case of corruption and party settlement of the government Yin of Tingjiang Prefecture, which shocked him for a while, and returned to the capital city. Two old friends occasionally invited out for a drink to talk about their business troubles.

Ji Chundong is a man of great stature, but Du Minying is more gentle. In the early years, Du Minying also had some reputation. But after Yang Shangshu promoted him to be the youngest servant of the criminal department, he has restrained a lot. Now he speaks and works with some literati bureaucracy. It seems that Ji Chundong, a pure military general, is somewhat rude.

Both of them are old friends. Ji Chundong doesn't hide it from him. He says directly, "the case you are going to open today, Mengqi, is my nephew."

Du Minying was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, he suddenly recognized a relative.

"What do you mean?"

"That's what it means." Ji Chundong glanced at Du Minying, saw his stupefied expression, with the years of immersion in the officialdom and the implicit examination, vomited: "I didn't want to tell you before, I'm afraid you have concerns, but today, I'm also selfish. After a while, don't punish, for my sake."

Du Minying pondered for half a moment, then sneered: "that suspect, there are many people greeting him these two days. Yang Shangshu promised not to go to jail. What do you say to me?"
