"I know you have some friction with the Si family, but these are your private matters. As an inspector, you must be fair first.
Presumably you should have some understanding of it during the test of Mr. Taibao.
Our Supervisory Office is completely different from any other department. We have great authority and face more temptations.
Don't think that becoming an inspector means you can sit back and relax.
The court has been dissatisfied with our Supervisory Hall for a long time. From time to time, people will be sent to come to inspect the situation openly and covertly. You must not do anything out of the ordinary!"
Tie Tang was happy.
"It's a fact that they want to kill me. I won't do anything. As long as I follow the procedures, these people are also committing serious crimes. They are the ones who should be worried."
Qiu Zhengyang frowned and waved his hand, "It's not that simple. These people are already soul witches. According to the law, it is very difficult to kill them.
Generally, they will be sent to do other tasks to compensate for their sins, which is equivalent to the free labor of a great witch.
Unless they really commit an unforgivable crime, their previous actions will not lead to the death penalty.
Moreover, these guys have deep backgrounds, and various wealthy families have already secretly joined forces. It is not an easy task for you to deal with them, so don’t be careless."
"Is there such a thing?" Tie Tang was slightly puzzled.
"What?"
"A little unconvinced?"
Qiu Zhengyang saw Tie Tang's thoughts and slowly explained, "Your previous identity was just a chief arrester of the ninth grade, not even an official of the imperial court.
The name of the so-called genius is not recorded in the law.
Assaulting and killing a ninth-grade official is naturally a capital crime for ordinary people.
But they are great witches of the soul, and their hard-earned achievements are hard-earned. According to the current law, as long as they work for thirty years, they can be exempted from their sins.
Moreover, they actually did not succeed. They failed to commit murder and were charged with a lighter crime.
Of course.
Whether you are guilty or not, what crime you are sentenced to, the punishment, and the power are still in our hands. How to deal with it... depends on your ability."
Qiu Zhengyang did not speak clearly, but Tie Tang also understood what he meant.
If we follow the normal procedures... these people can probably get away with it casually.
But I am the chief judge... Obviously it is impossible to follow the normal process. There are many things that can be done, and some of them are ways to rectify them.
However, all behaviors must be within the rules and regulations, and cannot go beyond the slightest, otherwise you will become a person who violates the law.
This is the power of the supervisory envoy.
Even the chief arrester or the chief county arrester does not have this kind of power.
Because no matter what tricks they do at the next level, they will eventually be handed over to the Supervisory Hall for verification, and it is the supervisory envoy who will close the case.
If the House of Supervisors feels that it does not pass, even if there is irrefutable evidence, it may be overturned.
The twists and turns here cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
"Let's go. We've finished watching the Demon Suppressing Palace. It's time to get your official uniform and get your seal." Qiu Zhengyang left first, followed closely by Tie Tang.
The two of them did not stop this time and went all the way to the central part of the Supervisory County Residence.
The number of people we saw along the way began to increase, and most of them were servants and servants. Occasionally, a few wizards passed by, and they were not wearing the official uniform of an inspector.
The number of inspectors is very small, even though this is the center of a county.
Walking into a main hall, servants have already brought three sets of official uniforms of different colors. On one of the all-black official uniforms, there is a gold and jade Pixiu seal.
Pixiu's body is like a tiger and leopard, its head and tail are like a dragon, its color is both gold and jade, its shoulders have a pair of wings that cannot be spread out, and its head has a horn that is tilted back.
"This is the official seal of the supervisory envoy, called 'Tianlu'. It is carved in the shape of a brave fish with a horn on the top.
And my official seal is the first born with two horns, called 'Evil Warning'. If you see someone with more horns than you in the future...it means that the other person's position is higher than yours. Remember not to rush into each other casually." p>
"What are you talking about, sir? Do I look like that kind of person?" Tie Tang laughed and took the official uniform and gave the seal, put the official uniform into the storage ring, picked up the official seal and looked at it carefully.
"Aren't you?"
"You are!"
"A thorny person like you is the most unwelcome to ordinary officials, but our Supervisory Hall only accepts thorny people.
There is not so much intrigue among everyone. We can chat when we can, and leave when we can’t. There is no clique for personal gain. It is considered a relatively clean place in the officialdom."
"Speaking of which...I am now also a seventh-grade imperial official? Aren't I on the same level as Mr. He?
Haha~ I have to go find him for a drink later!"
Tie Tang seemed to think of something happy and smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.
"Don't be too happy too early!" Qiu Zhengyang sat down at the front and ordered his servants to make tea.
"Although your official rank is the same as that of Lao He, in terms of power and personal strength, you are beyond your reach. Be careful that he puts a sack on you at night and beats you quietly without any explanation."
"Uh~"
The smile on Tie Tang's face suddenly stopped, and he said dryly, "Master He is a master of the magical realm, how can he learn such ruthless and lazy methods?"
"He is a gangster, what can't he do? You have to be careful." Qiu Zhengyang laughed. He and He Changsheng were old rivals, and they knew each other well.
"No, not so..." Tie Tang waved his hands repeatedly.
"Okay, let's stop chatting. Do you know...why in our Inspectorate Hall, even the most ordinary inspector can sit at the seventh rank?"
Tie Tang frowned slightly.
It stands to reason that the supervisory commission is subordinate to the judicial department and is nominally much lower than the official position of one parent.
The functions of the local supervisory office are mainly to handle various prison cases and supervise local officials.
The Inspection Department of the police system is not considered a subordinate of the Supervisory Palace. The two are more like a cooperative relationship.
It's just that the Overwatch Palace has greater authority and can control more areas.
"Is it because the supervisor has too much power and the corresponding official position is higher?" Tie Tang tried to guess.
Qiu Zhengyang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said slowly, "No, no.
Theoretically, the official rank of the supervisory envoy should be equivalent to that of the local chief police officer, and lower than the county magistrate, so the county magistrate is the appropriate one.
After all, the county magistrate and county magistrate coordinate a county and can dispatch supervisors.
But it can really be implemented as follows...
Which county magistrate or county magistrate dares to tease the supervisor's beard?
Not to mention dispatching and supervising envoys, I don’t even want to pass by the Supervisory Yuan when I have nothing to do, and I feel bad when I see it.
Because most officials have their own secrets and dare not provoke me and others."
"But I see that the county guard and the county magistrate don't seem to be very afraid of you, let alone the other supervisors.
I think the two supervisors and deputy governors are as afraid of the county governor as tigers."
Tie Tang thought of the first time he met Li Qingwan.
How profound was her majesty at that time?
Including Qiu Zhengyang, along with the two deputy supervisors and other supervisors, they only dared to stand behind Li Qingwan and did not even dare to sit down.
If you want to say that Li Qingwan is afraid of the Supervisory Hall... then no one will believe it.
Qiu Zhengyang was not embarrassed, and explained with a smile, "The situation in our county is slightly different, and you also know the deeds of the county governor.
Nothing else to say.
In terms of strength alone, she swept our Qingshui Supervisory County Residence.
In this world, you still have to look at your fists. Your fists are not as big as others, so who will be afraid of you?
And when you get to the county level, it's completely different.
Compared to the dozens or hundreds of times more county magistrates and county magistrates, there are only seventy-two county magistrates and county magistrates in the entire world.
These one hundred and forty-four imperial officials were born to be at the center of attention in the world and were also the mainstay of the imperial court.
Not to mention that all of these people are good officials.
At least on the surface, at least until the incident comes to light, you can't catch them.
In other places, county magistrates and county magistrates dare not dispatch us, but the situation is different for county magistrates and county magistrates.
After all, in name only.
We are under their jurisdiction."
"Since we should be under their jurisdiction, then the official rank should be lower. Why can ordinary supervisors be on an equal footing with the county magistrate, and your official rank is also equivalent to that of the county governor?"
"That's because many times, we may face some difficult problems, and we may have to face the local magistrate, or even the county guard or county magistrate.
If they break the law, we will stand against them.
At this time, if your official position is too low, it will be easy for them to directly suppress you under various names.
I am on the same level as the county governor, and although I am nominally under her jurisdiction, if something really happens, I can investigate her at any time.
This is because the imperial court deliberately raised the official rank in order to facilitate the work of our supervisory hall.
So it seems... our officials in the Supervisory Hall have somewhat falsely high official positions, and their corresponding other real powers are not that great."
Qiu Zhengyang's words made Tie Tang come to a complete realization.
Previously, he had always thought that the inspector was extremely powerful, but when he arrived at Qingshui City, he seemed to be outdone by the county guard and the county magistrate again.
Looking at it now, there is actually nothing wrong with it.
The county governor coordinates a county and is the highest person in charge established by the imperial court. All affairs in the county are under the jurisdiction of the county governor, and the supervisory hall is naturally included.
"Okay, I've basically said everything that needs to be said. If you still don't understand anything, you can come to me.
After going back.
Let’s read all of "The Law of Three Pisces" first, because it involves masters of witchcraft and Taoism. In the past, these people were the supreme leader or even the overlord of one party.
For these people, the laws have also been changed, and they are not completely consistent with the laws you learned in Yuncheng.
You must read the entire "Three Pisces" carefully and remember not to miss anything.
Many times...
If we can't do anything against the other party, we have to rely on some minor loopholes in the law to make a fuss.
Don’t be embarrassed, there are many extremely vicious criminals who are capable of erasing the traces of their own crimes. Only by relying on some small means can they be truly punished.”
Tie Tang instantly understood what Qiu Zhengyang meant.
He was also a legal practitioner in his previous life, and he knows that when facing a difficult case, he will often encounter a classic problem.
‘Are we pursuing outcome justice or procedural justice?’
These two concepts, even in his era, are far from clear, and in this world...I am afraid that the pursuit of more is still the result of justice.
