Because of Cao Ping, Cao Dongdong and his son went to the northwest to open up wasteland, and the police station did not have a backbone. Faced with such things, it was reasonable to be a little afraid. However, after receiving a reply from the procuratorate, the police station immediately sent someone
Go to the Imperial City Department and ask.
But I only got four words in the Imperial City Division.
No comment!
It turns out that the Royal Police was originally born out of the Forbidden Army, and it weakened the status and power of the Forbidden Army in the field of public security, and also cut off the financial resources of many people.
This, of course, caused dissatisfaction among the three yamen, but this was the emperor's arrangement, and he was given the title of Royal Police. In addition, Cao Ping was the chief superintendent, so the three yamen only dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
The Imperial City Division is subordinate to the Dianqian Division and is the boss of the three yamen. When they saw the Royal Police coming to their door, they felt very unhappy. You Royal Police are just illegitimate sons, but our Imperial City Division is their biological son. Don’t be shameless.
, there is not a single good word to say.
At present, it is true that the police station cannot control the Imperial City Division, because the Imperial City Division mainly looks after the gates of the Imperial City. The Imperial City is not under the control of the Royal Police, who only care about the neighbors.
Fortunately, Zhang Fei and Huang Chengsi have always had secret contacts.
In the evening, Zhang Fei came out of the procuratorate and got on the carriage, only to see Li Bao already sitting on the carriage.
Seeing Zhang Fei, Li Bao looked a little embarrassed, "I sent someone to check, and this person is indeed in the Imperial City Department."
Zhang Fei immediately asked: "Is the person still alive?"
Li Bao said: "He's still alive, but...he just got a little punishment, because he was accused of slandering the government and intending to rebel, and the other party refused to admit it, so...!"
"Just stay alive."
Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said again: "The officials should have ordered us to act with caution in extraordinary times. Why didn't I feel your caution at all? You didn't even inform me of this in advance."
Li Bao immediately said: "You can't blame me. The marriage officers of the Imperial City Department don't know my existence. I told you before that the Imperial City Department is actually divided into two parts. One part is in the Ming Dynasty, and the other is in the Ming Dynasty.
Those who manage the gates of the imperial city have positions in the front office.
We have no positions in the army, and the commanders of the Front Division don't know our details. Only the officials and a few generals of the Front Division know.
Moreover, they only captured one or two soldiers, which is not a big deal."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Fei asked: "Is it one or two?"
Li Bao said: "They should have been arrested both. But this cannot be blamed on the Imperial City Division. Whoever allowed them to talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army would arrest them if they were not arrested."
Zhang Fei asked: "What step is it now?"
Li Bao said: "They have admitted their crimes. The Imperial City Division is preparing to arrest their family members and bring them to justice. At that time, the Imperial City Division will hand over the case to Dali Temple for judgment."
"Dali Temple?"
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up.
Li Bao nodded and said: "In the past, cases about soldiers have always been handed over to Kaifeng Mansion. Unless they are some more important officials, they will be handed over to Dali Temple. However, the Imperial City Department does not want to deal with the Procuratorate. They will hand over the case to the Procuratorate."
Leave it to Dali Temple."
"That's good!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "When you tell the officials later, please remember to tell me that if this kind of matter is handed over to the public prosecutor, it will be very difficult. The best result now is that everyone pretends not to know. The Imperial City Secretary
Just follow the procedure and hand it over to Dali Temple."
Li Bao nodded, "I understand."
"besides!"
Zhang Fei added: "You should also take a look at the Imperial City Department, at least to ensure that there is no surprise attack on me. The situation in the DPRK and China is already complicated, and I really can't take care of it."
Li Bao nodded and said: "I'll try my best, but the people in the Imperial City Division also act secretly. If you follow too closely, they will find out."
"All right!"
Zhang Fei said.
...
At night, after dinner, Gao Wenyin, Mu Zhen and his wife went back to their houses respectively. Only Xu Zun, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian sat in the courtyard to cool off. It was already summer and the weather was relatively hot.
"How about it?"
Xu Zun asked.
Zhang Fei said: "There are not one person in the Imperial City Division, but two. Now under torture, both of them have confessed."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Two soldiers were drunk in a tavern, and they were accused of treason because of a drunken remark. It's really a joke."
Zhang Fei pointed at her belly and said, "Pay attention to the fetus. If you get so angry, I won't talk to you next time."
Xu Zhiqian quickly defended: "I'm not angry, I'm just stating the facts."
She is bored at home every day now, and she relies on this to relieve her boredom.
Xu Zundao: "Actually, this kind of case wouldn't have been a big deal in the past."
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "What do you think, father-in-law?"
Xu Zundao: "Because from the Taizong period to the Renzong period, ministers continued to impeach the Imperial City Division, and successive monarchs also issued decrees to impeach the Imperial City Division. The constraints on the Imperial City Division became tighter and tighter, until Wang Jiefu launched the reform.
, the Imperial City Division gradually became active again."
Zhang Fei nodded slightly.
This is a normal political operation. Reform will inevitably cause turmoil in the current situation, so both Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi must control their speech.
The scope of the Imperial City Division's activities will naturally expand.
It is precisely because of this that the later Taxation Department was born.
"This is just one of them."
Xu Zun added: "Secondly, if there was no lawsuit against Cheng Fang before, this case would not be very difficult. Now, if someone wants to take the opportunity to draw fire to the public prosecutor, it may be very troublesome."
Having just targeted the officials, now they are targeting the Imperial City Department.
After hitting the left cheek, he hit the right cheek. No matter how good-tempered Zhao Xu was, he couldn't stand it!
Zhang Fei nodded, "What my father-in-law said is absolutely correct. I also suggest that the Imperial City Division directly hand over the case to Dali Temple."
"Why?"
Xu Zhiqian asked: "The procuratorate did a pretty good job in the Qizhou rebellion case before."
Zhang Fei said: "This is very different. In the Qizhou rebellion case, we are on the same front as the officials. This case is different. The key is that the public prosecutor and the law are really not good at trying such cases."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "Why?"
Zhang Fei explained with a smile: "First of all, the issue of authority. The Imperial City Division has the right to arrest people who make such remarks. It is not yet known whether the Procuratorate can take the initiative to intervene.
Secondly, once the procuratorate intervenes, it will face many problems. In the Imperial City Division, prisoners are forced to plead guilty under penalty, while the procuratorate has to rely on factual basis. If the procuratorate prosecutes, it may cause trouble.
To the Imperial City Division.
Finally, is this statement considered illegal? The procuratorate will be in a dilemma from the perspective of the country and the monarch.
So, even though this case is not big, it is just two small soldiers, but it is a very big challenge for the public security system, and we are not ready for it yet."
Xu Zhiqian nodded.
She comes from a family of officials, so she doesn't understand the truth, but she really hopes that the public prosecutor and law can change everything.
Xu Zun sighed and said, "I'm afraid the tree wants to be quiet but the wind won't stop."
Zhang Fei asked: "Father-in-law, do you think they have a chance to connect this case to the public prosecutor's office?"
Xu Zun nodded and said: "In the past, most cases of the Imperial City Division were handed over to the Kaifeng Mansion, followed by Dali Temple. But now that the Public Prosecution and Procuratorate has replaced the judicial power of the Kaifeng Mansion, of course the cases of the Imperial City Division can also be submitted to the Procuratorate.
, proceed with prosecution.”
Zhang Fei frowned: "Then we still have to prepare to avoid being caught off guard again."
The three chatted for a while, then Xu Zun got up and went back to the house. Zhang Fei also gently supported Xu Zhiqian and went to his small courtyard.
"Actually, you also think this is an unjust case, right?" Xu Zhiqian asked coldly.
Zhang Fei asked: "Why do you think so?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "If you didn't think so, you wouldn't be so entangled."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Legally speaking, it's hard to say whether he has been innocent or not. We have to conduct a detailed investigation to know."
Xu Zhiqian said: "But that's not the key point. Your main concern is the official family."
"Yes and no."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Actually, my father-in-law is right. This case is not something that the officials cannot bear, but the time is not right. The success of the Public Security Bureau, the Procuratorate, and the Law depends entirely on the support of the officials.
As for the officials who are willing to build the public security system, good and evil are only secondary. The key is to consider the pros and cons.
Therefore, we should try our best to let the officials see the benefits brought by the public security law to the monarch. Only when the officials enjoy the benefits, will they accept the disadvantages to him.
But if this kind of thing happens one after another, it will make the officials feel resistant, and they may fall short of the success and lose everything."
Xu Zhiqian said: "But those powerful people seem to have thought of this too."
Zhang Fei sighed: "Yes, so this is a challenge for us. If we really go to the procuratorate, we must find a way to eliminate the negative emotions in the hearts of the officials."
He knew from the beginning that the Public Security Bureau would definitely conflict with the imperial power. He has been trying his best to postpone this conflict, but others are not stupid either. They just want to provoke a conflict between the Public Security Bureau and the Imperial Power.
If the public prosecutor and the procuratorate fight against the imperial power everywhere, this is not a question of right or wrong. This is a very scary trend. Although Zhao Xu and Zhang Fei have an unusual relationship, they are with you like a tiger. You can't guess what the emperor will think of it.
These things.
...
However, the current government and opposition parties are still paying attention to the policies in Hebei.
The Ordinance Department of the Second Government was established.
"The two hundred thousand guan was allocated by official order?" Lu Huiqing couldn't help but asked Wang Anshi in shock.
Wang Anshi smiled and nodded and said: "How can I have the nerve to ask the officials to allocate money from Sinong Temple? After carefully reading my memorial, the officials agreed with my suggestion very much, and the previous 300,000 yuan also included compensation.
The officials were worried that the fee would not be enough, so they asked Sinong Temple to allocate another 200,000 yuan."
Lu Huiqing couldn't believe it and said, "Is that all?"
Wang Anshi stroked his beard, "Although the officials just said that, I guess that the officials may still want to strengthen the river channel by building water conservancy projects and try to reduce the damage of floods as much as possible. And..."
He paused for a moment and then said: "If Hou Shuxian and others still believe that eastward flow is not feasible, we can also quietly change the river course through water conservancy projects."
Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "That's it."
Wang Anshi added: "I plan to recommend you to Hebei to serve as the Transportation Department, in charge of the Changping Department, specifically responsible for the construction of water conservancy projects. When you come back with meritorious service, I will recommend you to serve as the Councilor for Political Affairs, and at the same time let you take charge of Sinong Temple."
The implication is that Lu Huiqing should be plated with gold, come back with some achievements, and become deputy prime minister.
Lu Huiqing's face was filled with joy, and she quickly raised her hands and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your support. This student will definitely fulfill his mission."
Wang Anshi nodded with a smile and said: "Under the current situation, we need more financial support. Sinong Temple and Taifu Temple must be completely controlled by us. In addition, I also plan to call Xue Xiang back and recommend him
Serve as the third envoy."
Lu Huiqing asked: "Can this be done?"
Wang Anshi said with a smile: "I mentioned to the officials just now that Xue Xiang's achievements in Jiangnan have made the granaries in the capital abundant. The officials are very satisfied with this, so it shouldn't be a big problem."
While we were chatting, Deng Wan suddenly came.
"Ms. Wang, Collector Lu, have you ever heard that the guards on horseback were slandering the government, disrupting the morale of the army, and intending to rebel?"
"What?"
Wang Anshi stood up excitedly, "The bodyguard is planning to rebel?"
Lu Huiqing frowned and said, "How is this possible?"
It's impossible for you, Deng Wan, to tell us about such a big matter!
“That’s right”
Deng Wan quickly told the two of them the whole story.
When Wang Anshi learned that it was a false alarm, he couldn't help but said: "Don't talk like that next time, but this is really scary."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Deng Wan nodded repeatedly.
Wang Anshi hummed again: "Those soldiers are too ignorant and deserve to suffer."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Accusing Dongliu is just scolding him.
Damn it!
Lu Huiqing asked: "This kind of thing is relatively common. Does Deng Yushi need to come and tell us in person?"
Deng Wan said hurriedly: "This kind of thing was very common in the past, but now... isn't there a Public Prosecution Law? Will the Imperial City Division hand over this case to Dali Temple or the Procuratorate?
Anyway, I heard that the relatives of this soldier have gone to the police station to report the case, and the police station also sent the royal police to the Imperial City Division to inquire, but the Imperial City Division said they had no comment."
Wang Anshi understood as soon as he heard this. After thinking for a while, he said: "Now the court has a lot of things to deal with, so let's stop making trouble. Besides, if this matter is really brought to court, it will not look good on anyone's face."
He is really tired of this kind of behavior and likes to do it, but after doing it, he will embarrass himself.
Deng Wan originally wanted to come here to offer advice. This was an opportunity to deal with the public prosecutor, but he found that Wang Anshi's attitude was wrong. He moved his eyes and said hurriedly: "Ms. Wang, this is the reason why I came here to tell you. As the saying goes, the tree
If you want to be quiet, but the wind is still blowing, according to my opinion, someone will definitely fan the flames and make this matter worse. After all, this public prosecutor's office is the one that attracts people's hatred!"
"Sigh... Whether the public security system can last forever is really a question!"
Wang Anshi couldn't help but lamented that they would take this big deal against the public prosecutor, and said to Lu Huiqing: "Jifu, your business is the most important, don't be distracted by this matter, go back and prepare well."
.”
"Students understand."
...
After leaving the room, Deng Wan asked Lu Huiqing: "Colleague Lu, what are you going to do?"
Lu Huiqing said: "My mentor asked me to go to Hebei to serve as the Transportation Department, responsible for the construction of water conservancy. When I came back, he recommended me to be the counselor of political affairs and in charge of Sinong Temple."
Deng Wan immediately said with a flattering look on his face: "This is a great event, congratulations, congratulations."
"Why are you so happy?" Lu Huiqing sighed: "The situation in the DPRK and China is so turbulent, how can I go to Daming Mansion with peace of mind."
Don't come back, this old nest has been taken care of.
Deng Wan said: "They have made it clear that they want to deal with the police, prosecutors and law, and they will not affect us."
"hope so!"
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly, but still felt uneasy. Suddenly, he thought of someone.
...
Procuratorate.
When Zhang Fei saw Lu Huiqing, his heart couldn't help but he smiled and said, "Why does Collector Lu have time to sit here with me today?"
Lu Huiqing smiled and said, "Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"
"of course not."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's just that the Ordinance Department of the Second Government has been so busy recently, I don't believe that Xiao Xiao came to me for tea."
Lu Huiqing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "It seems that everyone knows that our Ordinance Department of the Second Government has been very busy recently."
After a short pause, he said seriously: "My mentor recently sent me to Hebei to serve as the transshipment department, so I came to you specifically to ask for advice."
"Ouch! I don't dare to do this!"
Even so, Zhang Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lv Xiaokan is talented and capable, but I am only from Xiaoerbi. I may be able to give you some advice on judicial matters. In other respects, I am
Absolutely not!"
A smile flashed in Lu Huiqing's eyes, "Don't belittle yourself. It's not the first day we've met. In fact, if you just let me be in charge of the finances, then I have confidence, but I'm afraid that God will not be kind to me and there will be a flood.
Let my efforts be wasted."
Zhang Fei nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "Actually, I think water and fire are ruthless and impermanent. No one dares to say that we can definitely prevent floods. We can only rely on those who are familiar with water conservancy to know how to manage it.
Next, I think as long as the people truly feel that the court is helping them, they will understand even if they encounter floods. If the floods are intertwined with people's resentment, then the problem will be huge."
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly, "But how to help the people?"
Zhang Fei said: "I can't say the specifics. After all, I don't know the local situation, but I will ask the charity foundation to go there. Lu Xiaokan can seek solutions from their businessmen. On the issue of how to avoid losses, businessmen are very
good at."
Lu Huiqing nodded. In fact, this was the purpose of his coming here. In view of the situation in Hezhong Mansion, he knew that the charity foundation could provide him with great support and avoid being restrained by the Hebei officials. After all, Han Qi was there.
At the base camp, he suddenly said: "Besides, there is one more thing that I am worried about."
Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "It's a matter of the Imperial City Department."
Zhang Fei was surprised: "You already know?"
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "I'm just afraid that if I talk about this first, you won't be in the mood to give me any advice."
Zhang Fei slapped his forehead and said, "Oh my god! The news has finally spread."
Lu Huiqing's expression changed and she asked, "How do you plan to respond?"
Zhang Fei said: "I hope that the Imperial City Division will be handed over directly to Dali Temple for trial. This matter is very difficult for the public prosecutors to handle, and we will face various problems."
Lu Huiqing said: "I think it is very likely that this matter will still be brought to the public prosecutor's office."
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "Why?"
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "Because Mr. Wen, President Zhao, and Bachelor Sima have all complained about the Imperial City Division for a long time. They have long wanted to find ways to restrict the Imperial City Division, so they will definitely ask for prosecution by the Procuratorate.
In addition, there are many officials in the DPRK and China who are trying their best to deal with the public prosecutors and the procuratorate. If these two groups come together, the case will most likely fall into the hands of your procuratorate."
"Does Collector Lu have any good ideas?" Zhang Fei asked.
Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "You won't be able to use my method. If you always adhere to the principles of the public security organs, prosecutors and the law, then you can only wait for the lawsuit to come."
Zhang Fei nodded with a wry smile.
Lu Huiqing said: "My mentor has no intention of getting involved in this matter, but I am very worried about whether this matter will have a bad impact on the New Deal if it comes to the imperial court.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I know that the two soldiers were arrested because they were dissatisfied with Cheng Fang's behavior in Hebei. If they said something in court, it might make some people feel resentful. The unscrupulous people took the opportunity to frame the teacher and put all the blame on the teacher."
Zhang Fei said: "Lv Xiaokan can rest assured about this. If the Procuratorate really takes over, I will definitely take this into consideration. Lu Xiaokan has no need to worry about this matter."
Lu Huiqing smiled and nodded: "Then I'll be relieved."
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"
Qi Ji's voice came from outside the door, "Prosecutor Zhang, Chief Prosecutor Xu asked you to come over."
Lu Huiqing stood up and said, "I won't disturb you anymore."
Zhang Fei was about to cry but said without tears: "I would rather be disturbed by Lu Xiaokan."
"Ha ha......!"
...
It turned out that someone from the imperial court had sent someone to ask Xu Zun or Zhang Fei to go to the imperial court, so Xu Zun asked Zhang Fei to go and have a look first.
Imperial Court.
"I wonder what the Chief Justice's orders are when he calls me here?"
Zhang Fei asked slightly anxiously.
Zhao Pin said very directly: "Someone came to the Imperial Court to complain, saying that the Imperial City Division abused lynching and framed good people. The president of this court hopes that your procuratorate will send someone to investigate the Imperial City Division to see if such a situation exists."
Zhang Fei glanced at Zhao Pin, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "To be fair to the Chief Justice, in fact, we have known about this matter before, and the police station has also asked about it, but the Imperial City Division belongs to the Imperial City after all, and This is also their authority, can we intervene?"
Zhao Pin frowned and said: "According to Prosecutor Zhang's intention, the Imperial City Division can kill people and set fires? No one can control it?"
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "This official has no such intention."
Zhao Pindao: "But this is what the Imperial City Division does. If they continue like this, they can arrest everyone in the world with just one slander about government affairs. What else will the public prosecutor do?"
Since the officials want to revitalize the judiciary, they should set an example. There are evil people in the imperial city, and they tell us how to strictly enforce the law. They still have no comment. I think they are simply lawless. It is really unreasonable. Also, Prosecutor Zhang prosecuted the case back then. Has the court’s courage been exhausted?”
Zhang Fei tried his best to smile and said, "Yes, I will send someone to investigate immediately."
After leaving the imperial court, Zhang Fei did not return to the procuratorate, but went straight to the palace. He never expected that the imperial court would take the initiative to order and intervene in the investigation. This was clearly to deal with the Imperial City Division. Then there was no way. He must go and talk to the emperor.
Seeing Zhang Fei, Zhao Xu smiled and asked, "You are so anxious to see me, you are here for the Imperial City Department."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes, the Imperial Court has just ordered our procuratorate to intervene in the investigation of this case."
Zhao Xu's face was as calm as water and he asked: "What do you think?"
"Excessive."
Zhang Fei said: "They have gone too far. I think the Imperial City Division is just fulfilling its duties. This is beyond reproach!"
