Chapter 0122 There are many right and wrong in the yamen
Kou Ji returned to Sijunyuan and did not rest. Instead, he asked the maids to prepare hot water. After washing up, he put on his official uniform, held the sedan chair, and rushed to the Yamen of the Punishment Division.
As Wang Shu said, the Tixing Si Yamen is the outer platform of the imperial court and the outer platform of the inner court, so the Tixing Si Yamen has many official duties.
Now that Zhang Lun has moved to his left, the new judge of the punishment department has not yet taken office. Kou Ji, the judge of the punishment department, is the largest official in the punishment department.
He needs to be involved in all government affairs at the top and bottom of the Criminal Division.
Every day, there will be countless more government affairs in the Criminal Division.
If Kou Ji continues not to deal with the official affairs of the Ti Xing Department, the official affairs of the Ti Xing Department will be piled up, and trouble will inevitably arise.
Kou Ji arrived at the yamen of Tixingsi. Before he could enter, the prison governor and others came to greet him.
"Sir, you are here. If you don't come again, our punishment department will be in chaos."
"..."
The group of people surrounded Kou Ji, all talking anxiously.
Kou Ji waved his hand and asked them to move out of the way. As he walked towards the Yamen, he asked: "The left and right are all government affairs that you are familiar with. If I am not here, don't you know how to handle it yourself?"
Hearing this, the governor of the prison said with a bitter face: "Sir, the government officials and others will naturally handle it, but without your seal, the officials and others will not dare to report it to the inner court."
"Not only do you not dare, you are simply not qualified. All the memorials submitted by the subordinate officials were knocked down by the inner court."
"..."
The group of people all looked sad and aggrieved.
Kou Ji entered the main hall of the Criminal Division, sat down in front of the case table in the middle with a golden sword, and said: "Okay, don't complain, please quickly submit the government affairs you have handled in the past few days, and I will review it myself."
.”
Upon hearing this, the group hurriedly ordered the people behind them to go to their respective rooms to deal with the government affairs they had handled in the past few days.
After a while, the table in front of Kou Ji was piled with files and documents.
Seeing that the pile of cases had turned into a small mountain, the group had no intention of stopping.
They didn't stop until Kou Ji was deeply buried in the files and documents on the case table.
Kou Ji looked at the government affairs in front of him and was a little dumbfounded, "So many?"
The governor of the prison said with a wry smile: "This is quite small... In addition to these government affairs that need to be reviewed by adults, the prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment also need to be screened and decided one by one by adults.
Yesterday, someone came to the inner court and asked why this year's case has not been concluded yet and why no memorial has been submitted.
The lower official found an excuse to shirk it, but he couldn't shirk it for a few days."
Governor Qiangu sighed: "May is coming soon, and food collection from various places has to be put on the agenda. We also need your Excellency to draw up a charter and hand it over to each place so that they can comply with it."
As Governor Qiangu finished speaking, the other governors also spoke one after another.
Each of them seems to have important government affairs to deal with, and each one is more important than the last.
Kou Ji was a little overwhelmed by their quarrels. He raised his hand and patted the table, and said with a flat mouth: "You guys go down first, and I will make a decision after I read the files and documents on the case table."
Hearing this, the governor of the prison shouted: "Sir, we can't wait any longer for the screening of prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. The inner court has already urged us once. If we urge you a second time, we will be punished for incompetence in doing things."
"
Kou Ji frowned slightly and said displeasedly: "I'm supporting you in the inner court, so you don't need to worry about it. Get down!"
The prison governor opened his mouth and wanted to speak.
But when he saw that Kou Ji was resolute and it was not easy to confront Kou Ji head-on, he sighed and left the main hall.
The rest of the people also exited the main hall.
Kou Ji sat upright in the main hall, opened a volume of files, read them carefully, and slowly frowned.
He dropped the file, opened the second volume, glanced at it twice, and threw it aside again.
After flipping through more than a dozen files in a row, Kou Ji just glanced at them and threw them aside.
Kou Ji squinted his eyes, tapped the files on the case table with his fingers, and said to himself: "Everyone looks like a capable official, but secretly they are a bunch of scumbags. The unsolved cases and mystery files from seven or eight years ago,
You dare to throw it in front of me and let me deal with it.
Who are you trying to fool?"
Kou Ji glanced outside the door and said to himself: "I guessed that Zhang Lun had a confidant in the Punishment Department who would trip me up, but I didn't expect that so many of you would trip me up together.
Originally, I felt that I was a little sorry for you by letting Cao Yi, Liu Heng, and Fan Zhongyan join the Criminal Division and take your place.
Now it seems that I didn’t feel sorry for you, but you felt sorry for me.”
"about?"
Kou Ji called out, and two officers immediately came in outside the door, waiting to be dispatched.
"My subordinate is here."
Kou Ji ordered: "One goes to the Jiyang County Prince's Mansion to recruit Cao Yi, and the other goes to the Liu Mansion by the Jinming Pool to recruit Liu Heng."
The guards looked at each other and said in unison: "Here..."
Kou Ji added: "Tell them to bring more people, useful people."
"My subordinate understands."
After the officers left the main hall.
Kou Ji slowly stood up and walked in the main hall of the Criminal Division.
He didn't take another look at the files and documents on the desk.
The governors of the Criminal Division joined forces to trip him up.
Then there is no need for him to save face for them.
Since they were unwilling to handle government affairs properly, Kou Ji didn't mind and found a group of people to come and replace them.
Kou Ji walked in the main hall of the Tixing Division for a while, seeming to think that the manpower brought by Cao Yi and Liu Heng might not be enough.
He recruited another officer and ordered the officer to go to the Kou Mansion, deliver his message, and recruit a group of people.
At the same time, Kou Ji sent officers to recruit people from each section of the Criminal Division to come to the main hall for questioning.
The public house in the corner of the Criminal Division.
Several governors sat together and talked quietly.
Governor Fengzhuang smiled dryly and said, "Isn't it a bit too much for us to embarrass Judge Kou so much?"
"Excessive? I don't think it's excessive at all."
The prison governor curled his lips and said: "When he touched Mr. Zhang, did he ever think of going too far? People outside who didn't know anything praised him for his kindness and righteousness. But when we talk about the punishment department, who doesn't know who doesn't?
The reason why Mr. Zhang was transferred was because of him.
It was because he was dissatisfied with Mr. Zhang that he resorted to a trick and transferred Mr. Zhang away."
Governor Qian Gu nodded heavily, "That's right. There are many of us who were promoted by Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang has been wronged, and we cannot sit idly by and ignore it."
"In terms of affection and righteousness, Mr. Zhang is truly affectionate and righteous. Kou Ji is just a despicable person who knows how to use tricks."
"..."
"But...but his grandfather was the prime minister. It would be easier to crush us than to crush ants..."
Everyone was denouncing Kou Ji, and the border patrol officer suddenly said something.
When everyone heard this, they were speechless.
After a long time, the governor of the prison gritted his teeth and said: "So what if his grandfather is the prime minister? Can the prime minister be able to control the sky with one hand? In addition to his grandfather, there are also Ding Gong and Li Gong in the inner court. Further up, there are officials and empresses."
The patrol official said dryly: "But now... Mr. Kou is in the court, and he is keeping his promise. If he wants to touch us, Mr. Ding, and the empress can't protect us."
