Doctor Zheng got on the donkey and turned around, heading towards the Guirenfang where the emperor's relatives lived. Doctor Xu patted the donkey and caught up, "This matter is not urgent at this moment. It's important for us to go home first. If we don't go, honey."
The candy cakes are about to be sold out. I said you don’t want to default on your debt, right?”
It's all because of your brain!
Doctor Zheng thought fiercely, I have treated you to honey cakes for free hundreds of times! But he was worried that as soon as he said this, the man named Xu would make a noise again. Doctor Zheng suppressed his temper and lowered his voice and said to Doctor Xu, "
Do you know what is the most famous thing about His Highness’s residence?”
"What?"
"Eat." Zheng Langzhong coaxed the foodie, "Don't you always envy Du Changshi and Hua Changshi's food box? His Highness the Third Prince's place is famous for its excellent food."
"That's true." Mr. Xu immediately stopped making trouble to buy honey cakes. He obediently let his little donkey follow Mr. Zheng, holding his two long legs, looking at the sky and beginning to recall Du Changshihua.
Changshi’s lunch box.
Each ministry has its own chef's kitchen, and everyone who works in the ministry eats lunch in the ministry. Of course, depending on the official rank, the richness of the meal is different. But even the minister of the Ministry of punishment only has two meat, two vegetables and one soup.
For example, for example, two doctors, Xu and Zheng, were ranked in the fifth rank, and they only had one meat dish, one vegetable dish and one soup at noon.
Of course, no one can compare with His Highness the Third Highness. However, the two chief historians of Du Hua and the Third Highness are the heads of the Third Highness’s Division of History. They assist the Third Highness and go to and from the Ministry of Justice together every day. However, the Third Highness is the chief historian.
His Highness never dines at the Ministry of Punishment, and Du Hua, the two chief ministers, are not officials of the Ministry of Punishment and do not dine at the Ministry of Punishment.
The two of them came under the patronage of His Highness the Third Highness. On the first day of His Highness's duty, the food box was sent by Ci'en Palace, not to mention how rich it was. Later it was sent by the Prince's Palace, not to mention His Highness's food, it was Du Hua's.
The two chief ministers all had six dishes, two soups and two kinds of cakes. This was not a waste of money. Compared with the large pot of rice for each person in the Ministry of Justice, the meals for both of them were served in palm-sized porcelain bowls, which made Xu even more dissatisfied.
What the doctor was jealous of was that their meals and soups were all different. If they ate together, it would be twelve dishes.
What a god.
People really deserve to be compared with each other. In the past, Dr. Xu thought that he was a good fifth-rank official in his first year, but he didn't expect that for the same fifth-rank official, he was serving as a minister in the ministry, but his treatment was not as good as that of the chief minister of the prince's palace.
Looking at their exquisite food, and looking at the two big bowls of stewed vegetables that he had every day at noon, the rough doctor Xu felt unbalanced for several days, and he had the desire to change his family.
Now that Mr. Zheng mentioned the food at the Third Prince's Mansion, Mr. Xu was really looking forward to it.
The Prince's Mansion is very close to the Imperial City, and it only takes a stick of incense to arrive.
There were two guards in soft armor guarding the door of the Third Prince's Mansion. When he saw that the two were coming to the Mansion, they immediately leaned forward, made a stop gesture, and asked, "Who is coming?"
Although the two of them were serving in the Ministry of Punishment, this was their first time coming to the Prince's Mansion. Mr. Zheng, Surong, said, "I and I are doctors in the Ministry of Punishment. We came to the Third Prince's Mansion to pay respect to His Highness. We have official business to report back."
The guard also asked for their names and took notes before ordering the two of them to wait at the concierge. The concierge also had servants go to the mansion to report. The two officials were not high-ranking. Fortunately, most of the people who came to the Third Prince's Mansion were from untitled clans.
, they were serious officials of the Ministry of Punishment, and the concierge was very polite to them. He gave up his seat and gave each of them a cup of fragrant tea. After about a cup of tea, the boy who went in to deliver the message came out and invited them into the house.
say.
The person who came out was Mei Dianbu. Mei Dianbu often worked beside Hua Changshi, and both Zheng and Xu recognized him.
Xu Langzhong is more familiar with Mei Dianbo. They are both people who know half of the affairs of the imperial capital and love to inquire. Xu Langzhong said, "Old Mei, why are you still in the palace and not home?"
Mei Dianbo smiled sheepishly, "If I go back to the house, where can I serve you two adults? Please come inside. His Highness has just returned to the house and it will take a while to be summoned. Mr. Chang Shi said not to make you wait in the concierge.
Let’s eat first, have you eaten?”
"Nothing." Mr. Xu patted Mei Dianbu's arm casually, winked and snickered, "You didn't mean to stay at the palace for dinner before going home, right?"
Mei Dianbo chuckled a few times. In the first few days, the food in the house was ordinary. Later, the prince and concubine made some changes and did not spend more money. The food was delicious and there were vegetables, meat and vegetables. The chief minister was not busy with affairs.
In fact, you can go home in the evening, but because the food in the house is good, everyone usually goes back to their homes after eating.
Doctor Zheng was not in a hurry about eating and said, "Business matters are more important."
Mei Dianbo smiled and led Zheng and Xu to the two Changshis. Changshi Hua chuckled and said, "You guys are chasing us as soon as we arrive at the mansion. There must be something important. Don't worry, Your Highness will wait a moment."
It will be called."
Du Changshi was young and anxious, "I don't want to ask what the matter is, but I will ask if it is related to the case."
Doctor Zheng held his jaw reserved. Doctor Xu nodded eagerly like a nodding machine. Du Changshixin said, I heard that this man surnamed Xu is in charge of the Bidu Department of the Ministry of Punishment and has nothing to do with our case. You
What are you doing so eagerly?
Sure enough, Mu Anzhi heard that Dr. Zheng asked Mr. Xu to see him. He was impressed by Mr. Xu, but not deeply. He remembered that he had lunch with Du Changshi and others, and he seemed to have a good relationship with Mr. Zheng.
It was not the first time for the two of them to be nervous when they came to the Prince's Mansion, but they didn't expect His Highness to summon them both in the back house. This was obviously the residence of His Highness the Prince. There were maids in red and green colors and well-behaved everywhere.
In the meantime, the waiter led the two of them to the westmost room. The two walked calmly along the corridor. The waiter opened a red felt curtain outside and entered an outer room separated by a book shelf.
There are tables, chairs and other items, but they are obviously not commonly used. Going further inside, you can see huge bookshelves along the walls, with neat books stacked on them. Some of the books have half-old spines, which shows that they have been frequently read.
There was a small Kang near the window. Mu Anzhi sat on the small Kang and summoned the two of them, "You guys sit down too, why is it so urgent?"
The two of them were sitting on a round stool by the Kang. As soon as they touched their buttocks and heard Mu Anzhi's question, Doctor Zheng stood up and replied, Mu Anzhi said, "Sit down and talk, why are there so many rules?"
Doctor Zheng told how Doctor Xu happened to see the two pieces of handwriting. Doctor Xu took over the conversation and continued, "When Sun Yuanwailang was checking the two pieces of writing paper, I glanced at him casually. I will never make a mistake."
, two pieces of paper, one older, one newer, the old one is a little yellowed, it looks like it has been sealed for more than ten years. In fact, it is not an old paper, it is a new paper.
.”
Mu Anzhi, who was leaning on the hidden bag, suddenly narrowed his eyes, held the hidden bag and sat up straight and asked, "Are you serious?"
"Although it is just a glance, I am confident that I will never make a mistake." Xu Langzhong said, "I have seen those two pieces of paper. Tomorrow I will make two identical ones for His Highness to appreciate."
All the blocked thoughts were like the fog being cleared away, and everything became clear in an instant.
Yes, Liang Junzi's recorded theft crimes were all for stealing gold and silver, and given Liang Junzi's habit of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and stealing from unjust families, he had no reason to steal Zhu Jing's will. But the two pieces of paper were two pieces of paper.
Both appraisals were authentic. At first Mu Anzhi thought there was something wrong with the appraisal by the Imperial Palace, but the appraisal at the Ministry of Punishments also gave the same result.
But he always felt that something was wrong——
It turns out that the crux is here!
The two handwritten notes were indeed written by one person, because the handwritten note left by Liang Junzi ten years ago was replaced by someone else, and the later one was prepared by the person who replaced it. Naturally, it can be verified as true!
Mu Anzhi quickly tapped the small kang table with his fingertips several times, and said to the two of them, "Don't talk about this matter for now. Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your hard work."
"It's not hard work or not, it's all due." Mr. Xu smiled, "The case can be solved as soon as possible. Although I only helped a little, I am very happy."
"It's no wonder that with Doctor Zheng's vision, he treats you differently than Doctor Xu." Mu Anzhi was in a happy mood, and he was particularly pleased with the smiling face of Doctor Xu.
Xu Langzhong received Mu An's praise and immediately looked at Langzhong Zheng with a smile. Zheng Langzhong said, I don't treat you any differently!
Mu Anzhi said appreciatively, "That's what friends should do." This made Mr. Zheng, who had always been upright, feel numb. Mr. Zheng said, "Your Highness, just compliment me, this idiot will take it seriously, okay?"
His Highness Mu Anzhi finally asked, "Have you come here without eating?"
Doctor Zheng said, "We will use the same one when we go back. I just thought this matter is important, so I'll report it to His Highness first."
Mu Anzhi smiled and said, "Lao Du and the others should still be in the house. Please stay and try the crab noodles tonight. The food in my house is pretty good."
Before Doctor Zheng could speak, Doctor Xu said first, "Thank you, Your Highness, for the rice. We will definitely eat a few more bowls."
Mu Anzhi laughed heartily, but Langzhong Zheng couldn't hold it back anymore and rolled his eyes at Langzhong Xu.
Mu Anzhi wanted to have dinner with Li Yuhua, so he sent them both away.
Mu Anzhi was in a good mood and had two glasses of rice wine in the evening. Li Yuhua also ate a few cups with him. He didn't eat anything in the evening. He only had crispy kimchi with the newly made crab noodles from the Third Prince's House. It was enough.
Two bowls.
Li Yuhua also rewarded the cook who made the noodles with ten taels of silver and praised the noodles for being well made. Li Yuhua never liked peeling crabs. She thought it was trivial to peel crabs. If it was steamed, Mu An would only peel them for her. The cook specially picked them out.
Crab roe and crab meat are stir-fried and marinated to make crab noodles. This noodle dish immediately became Li Yuhua's new favorite.
However, because crabs are cold in nature, Grandma Sun advised Li Yuhua to eat less, so Li Yuhua ate them once every other day. Anyway, crabs are only in season for two months.
Today, Doctor Zheng and Doctor Xu caught up. When the fragrant crab stew was poured on the noodles, Doctor Zheng was shocked by the extravagant large pieces of crab roe in the crab stew, and he ate three bowls of it.
The guy who was as thin as a linen rod actually wanted to eat the fourth bowl. Doctor Zheng was afraid that he would die from exhaustion, so he insisted on dragging him away. As a result, the honey cake that Doctor Xu extorted for half a month made up for the uneaten food.
The loss of the fourth bowl of crab noodles.
In the evening, Mu Anzhi told Li Yuhua about "Official System" and he was very excited, especially when he talked about the officials at all levels of the Ministry of Justice. "There are four divisions under the Ministry of Justice, namely, the Ministry of Justice, the Division of Duguansi, the Division of Bibu, and the Division of Simen. Mr. Zheng is
The doctor in the Criminal Department is responsible for hearing and deciding cases. The doctor Xu is the doctor in the Bibu Department, and the Bibu Department is in charge of salary and redemption, warehouse cashiers, carpenter engineering, purchasing revenue and expenditure, military supplies and equipment, etc."
"Third brother, you really admire these two people, don't you?"
"Anyone who can have a place in the court always has his own ability. Even if this person doesn't have his own ability, his family must have ability. There are many people who have ability. I am happy that now it seems that I am still worthy of being paid.
I serve."
"Looking at these depressing words, you are dedicated to serving the public good. How many people in the world can judge cases justly and strictly like you?" Li Yuhua said seriously, "An upright person is like a torch in the night. As long as he sees the person, even if he is far away
People from far away will yearn for it.”
The progress of the lawsuit and the fact that a cunning man like Mr. Xu showed his goodwill with practical actions undoubtedly gave Mu Anzhi, who was still immature in the officialdom, great confidence. Li Yuhua was more confident than Mu Anzhi. She knew that if she wanted to achieve success, she must
He landed firmly on the ground step by step. Mu Anzhi is a good person and has such a will. As long as he keeps going seriously, he will definitely achieve something in his career.
Mu Anzhi smiled, "I hope I can live up to your words."
