Lai Junchen's confidant in the Ministry of Punishment, whose surname is Shang and whose name is Jiuqing, is Lai Junchen's brother-in-law. He was originally an unemployed vagrant who fooled around on the street. In order to please Lai Junchen, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment secretly recruited him into the Ministry of Punishment.

Of course, the registered officials of the Tang Dynasty were not so easy to arrange. To be an official in the Tang Dynasty, one had to pass the imperial examination, and only after passing the examination could one be admitted. As for the street gangsters, how could they meet these conditions? You have to study, but there is no way

Culture, I have to take a test and I can’t write.

This stumped the Minister of Punishment. The Punishment Code of the Tang Dynasty was no joke. After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up. Yes!

In the Ministry of Punishment system, there is a kind of low-level official who is responsible for investigating and arresting cases. Although he is not a registered official, he is still a good job. What's more, this profession is managed by full-time officials selected by himself. This official

, that is, the historical title of "good commander" is of course not a public title. "Good commander" is a registered Tang official with a clear position, that is, a Tang official such as a county lieutenant or a registered Tang official below him, and a "bad commander"

It's just a secret position within their jurisdiction.

As mentioned before, no, the profession of "beloved man" was not invented in the Tang Dynasty, but was a title that was only started to be used in the late Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. It was just because it grew underground in the Tang Dynasty until the Tang Dynasty was destroyed.

The soil it relies on is abandoned, and it is just a monster that emerges from the soil.

Just because it was a monster that existed in the land of the Tang Dynasty, historians naturally remembered it as the Tang Dynasty.

Since it exists in name only, even though it has no status in the Tang Dynasty, it secretly affects people's lives all the time through the unspoken rules of Tang officials. Naturally, the Minister of Punishment also did it to please Lai Junchen.

After a lot of effort, he actually used his ideas to get a job without passing the imperial examination, not to be a husband.

In this way, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, through his unscrupulous commanders, recruited unemployed street thugs with bad records into his detective system, and swaggered around the streets of Luoyang, looking very impressive.

Readers may think that doing this will ruin the reputation of the Minister of Justice? But for the Minister of Punishment, this is really a difficult thing to ask for, and it is a dream.

Think about it, is it appropriate for a minister of the Ministry of Punishment to come forward to find someone who often offends the court officials?

It's better now. He found a bad second-rate man through a bad handsome man, and made some noise on the street. Wasn't it also to attract Lai Junchen's attention?

Such an act by the Minister of Punishment attracted Lai Junchen's attention, and he secretly interacted with him.

Of course, what Lai Junchen wanted was not that his unlucky brother-in-law got a job, but that he was interested in the detective auxiliary system under the Minister of Justice, that is, the undercover personnel.

In this way, Shang Jiuqing, an unemployed street vagrant in Luoyang, became a prominent figure who visited the official offices of the Ministry of Punishment of the Tang Dynasty. However, this man did not know how to remember things and act. This troubled the Minister of Punishment.

He had no choice but to assign a role to the evil young man and send a registered Tang official to take care of official affairs. In this way, the real power was in the hands of this registered Tang official, and the false position was placed on Lai Junchen's brother-in-law. The case would be fine.

It's done normally.

"Everything must be supervised by you." Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was unambiguous about handling cases: "If something goes wrong, just come to see me."

This powerful Tang official, whose surname was Lu, Ming Hechang, and nicknamed Wuyingmo, was a sixth-rank official of the Tang Dynasty. His ancestral home was Jiannan. He was born in the fourth year of Emperor Xianqing's reign and grew up in Shuzhou. He was thirty-two years old.

The Minister of Punishment received an official letter from Sima Cong, the inspector general of Jiangnan Province, sent through the eight-hundred-mile expedited channel. He learned that there was still no progress in the "demotion of gods and conspiracy case" and could not be concluded, so he sent his own

He wanted to investigate the case. In this way, he handed the matter over to Lu Hechang, who was responsible for handling such cases, and asked him to take Shang Jiuqing to investigate the case.

"It's really a burden for me to take this troublesome guy to handle the case." Lu Hechang looked embarrassed after hearing the explanation from the Minister of Punishment: "After we go there, we may have a conflict with that Cui Jianfeng, and we may not even be able to save our lives."

"Alas," the Minister of Punishment sighed: "I am in trouble too. If I don't do this, I will offend those cruel officials, and you and I will also be in danger of losing our heads."

"If you take this lazy, trouble-making second-rate guy with you, that Cui Jianfeng might get a handle on you, and I will follow him in the same misfortune."

"But I can't let him spend the whole day shouting and drinking on the street and treat him as a serious matter, right?"

"Then just find someone else to go with. I can't control him." Lu Hechang felt that it would be more dangerous than bringing someone who knew nothing to compete with Cui Jianfeng.

"You can just take him there once and then send him back. You can stay there by yourself and let the good commanders who are active there quietly figure out the case through your management." The Minister of Punishment disagreed.

He glared at Lu Hechang.

"But if that boy falls in love with a woman there after going there and doesn't want to come back, I'll be in trouble. The errand you're sending me to do now is to face Cui Jianfeng, Di Renjie's subordinate. This is no joke."

No matter what, Lu Hechang was unwilling to take that unfortunate guy to Wucheng to investigate the case.

"You can take him to live in the mountains for a few days first. The people there are too poor to even open the pot. Where can he find beautiful women? In a few days, he will run back obediently."

"He's running back, why don't he continue to live happily? Is it necessary for me to take him there for a few days?"

"You don't understand this. Let him handle the case for a few days, let people see it, and silence people. Showing to the outside world that the people we have recruited are always useful."

"Okay." Lu Hechang looked helpless: "I'll try it."

In this way, Lu Hechang prepared to take Shang Jiuqing to Jiangnan Road to investigate the case of the Jiangnan God descending to earth.

What Cui Jianfeng was worried about happened.

The pursuit of Qiu Siyuan and the three men in danger was just the beginning.

A more difficult conspiracy is brewing and fermenting in the capital. Because Lu Hechang brought Shang Jiuqing to Wucheng County, he said that his coming here to investigate the case would be noticed by the cruel official Lai Junchen.

Of course Cui Jianfeng knew that Lai Junchen was now Wu Zetian's most popular boss, and he dared to challenge even Mr. Di Guo.

What's even more frightening is that he gave Wu Zetian bad ideas all day long, and used tricks to punish officials of the Tang Dynasty, from important court officials to local officials. As long as he was reported by the people below, he would dominate Lijing through his hands.

The magistrate's court of the Lijing Gate made all the institutions of the Tang Dynasty court that handled matters in Lijing Gate become ants on the hot pot. Lijing Gate also became notorious because of this, which made the talk between the Tang Dynasty and the public at that time change its color.

Of course, Lu Hechang went to Wucheng quietly, and Cui Jianfeng didn't know it at the time. However, after the incident where the gods used magic lights to attack him, he also learned that Magistrate Zheng had secretly gone to Jiangnan Province to sue him.

Delay in closing the case.

Based on his own intuition, he vaguely felt that the Ministry of Punishment had asked Judge Dee to send him to handle the case to no avail, and might try to use the Magistrate's Court in Lijingmen to investigate and handle the case. In that case, wouldn't he become the criminal punished by Lai Junchen with torture?

minister?

Cui Jianwu was no stranger to Junchen. This small official was favored by Wu Zetian for his so-called suggestions and suggestions to meet Wu Zetian's desire to change the dynasty. Wu Zetian, after being advised by his advisers, asked him to make suggestions according to his own suggestions.

, established a magistrate's court in which only a few people gathered in a small room to take care of matters, which was equivalent to the kind of organizations that are often set up in today's government agencies, such as certain groups.

In this way, this second-rate man who had no ability in the first place and relied solely on speculation to gain success became a cruel official who cleared the obstacles for Wu Zetian to change the dynasty.

Now Cui Jianfeng feels that he might be targeted by this second-rate scoundrel, which is not a good thing.

What does this mean? It means that this case has been raised from an ordinary rape and murder case to a particularly serious case of debasement and rebellion, and now it has risen to the level of an open and secret struggle between Di Renjie and Lai Junchen.
