Chapter 0124 Quick Knife Cuts the Mess (two in one)
The prison governor and others were busy making preparations to join the new master, and Kou Ji had already recruited people from each section of the prison department.
There was a crowd of people in the dark, and the main hall was packed with people. If you counted carefully, there were dozens of people.
When it comes to the Criminal Division, these are the people who actually handle errands and handle government affairs.
On weekdays, the governors of various offices would go to the Yamen of the Sentencing Department to review the documents and stamp them.
When it comes to the means of doing things, they are not as good as the worst among these people.
The governors in each department wanted to embarrass Kou Ji and refused to handle government affairs, and Kou Ji was too lazy to plead with them.
He only needs to subdue the minor officials in each room and class.
With these small officials at hand, even if all the governors in each house give up their picks, Kou Ji can still take the lead in raising sentences.
After Kou Ji and others arrived, he looked around them and said, "Everyone, my name is Kou Ji, the new judge of the Criminal Division. Some of you know me, some have seen me, but some
Many people do not know me and have never seen me.
Now I am standing here, take a good look and remember my face.
The previous incarceration officer, Zhang Lunzhang, moved to the left, and the new incarceration officer has not yet taken office.
For a long time to come, I will be in charge of the Criminal Division.
I hope that during this period, everyone can cooperate with me and cooperate with me in managing the administration."
As soon as Kou Ji finished speaking, someone whispered: "Sir, how can the little people dare to manage politics? That is something that can only be done by the adults in each room. The little people can only run errands and do trivial things..."
The clerk's words clearly meant evasion.
When other minor officials heard this, they nodded in agreement.
They are all minor officials in each house, and the person in charge of them is the governor of each house.
Although Kou Ji is directly in charge of the governors of each house, there is a saying that goes well.
It's better to call the county magistrate than to take charge now.
If they listen to Kou Ji's instructions and leave Shangguan alone, they will definitely be tripped up in the future, and their jobs will be lost if they fail to protect themselves.
Kou Ji glanced at the little official who was speaking, and said calmly: "I know the secrets in the yamen very well. Your rhetoric may be enough to fool others, but it won't fool me.
If the governors of each department really work hard, there won't be so many files and documents on my official desk."
Kou Ji pointed to the files and documents behind him, "In these files and documents, I don't see any traces of their governance. Instead, they are full of traces of your governance.
All they left on this file and document was a bright red seal.
This shows that these government affairs are all handled by you. They just stamped the letter.
In terms of contribution to governance, your contribution is the greatest."
Kou Ji's words touched the hearts of the junior officials, but none of them dared to agree.
On the contrary, some people defended the governors.
"Little people also do things according to the instructions of adults. If there are no instructions from adults, little people can't do it well."
Kou Ji frowned and cursed: "Nonsense!"
The minor officials lowered their heads under Kou Ji's scolding.
Kou Ji said in a deep voice: "I know what you are thinking in your heart. You are afraid of telling the truth and offending them, but I am not afraid. Since I am in charge of punishing the Yamen, I have to do something.
As a result, we can't just mention the punishment to the Yamen in vain.
I called you here today not to discuss anything with you.
But I am ordering you.
From today on, all the minor officials in each room and class will be under the control of their own officials."
When the officials heard this, they looked up at Kou Ji with troubled expressions on their faces.
Kou Ji stared at them coldly and shouted: "I'm the first to say something ugly. Anyone who doesn't listen to my instructions, doesn't follow my orders, or who stumbles behind my back.
I can fire him at any time."
The clerks looked at Kou Ji with grimaces.
Someone groaned: "Sir, aren't you making things difficult for the little people? Without the consent of the adults in each room, the little people dare not do anything without permission."
Kou Ji stared at him and asked in a cold voice: "Are you an official of the imperial court or an official of the masters? Are you helping the imperial court or them? Are you getting a salary from the court or their salary?
?As a judge of the Sentence Division, am I not qualified to transfer you?"
Kou Ji glanced around at the junior officials and said, "I just want to do things. Anyone who stops me will be fired."
When the officials heard this, they lowered their heads and said nothing.
Kou Ji looked at them and said: "Maybe some of you think that fishing in troubled waters under my hands will not only deal with me, but also the adults in each room.
I can tell you that what you think is wrong.
Because I have decided to set up an official assessment in the Ti Xing Si Yamen.
There will be a review every month, and anyone who fails to pass the exam will be dismissed."
Hearing this, someone said bravely: "Sir, what you are doing is not in line with the court rules."
Kou Ji stared at him and sneered: "According to you, cheating and cheating are in line with the rules of the court?"
"That's not what I mean..."
"snort……"
Kou Ji snorted coldly and pointed to the Moon Gate outside the main hall, "I always keep my word. Look up, the person who will assess you is here."
A group of petty officials followed Kou Ji's hand and counted on it.
Then I saw Liu Heng, Cao Yi, and a large group of people behind them entering the punishment department.
The clerks looked gloomy.
Kou Ji didn't bother to talk to them anymore, but hurried up to greet them.
Liu Heng and Cao Yi met Kou Ji and bowed their hands to each other.
"Fourth brother, why are you so anxious to recruit us?"
Cao Yi nodded.
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Let you come over and familiarize yourself with the administrative affairs of the Criminal Division in advance."
Liu Heng and Cao Yi looked stunned.
They have not received the appointment documents from the court, so how can they be qualified to go to a government office to familiarize themselves with government affairs?
Liu Heng smiled dryly and said, "Fourth brother, isn't this against the rules?"
Kou Ji waved his hand and said, "I'm not asking you to come and sit in the hall directly. What's wrong with the rules? If others ask, just say that you are my staff, teacher.
The imperial court did not regulate the number of staff and teachers under each official.
I have the ability and money to hire a bunch of staff to help me manage the government, and the court can't make any mistakes."
Hearing this, Liu Heng nodded slowly.
Cao Yan interjected from the side: "Didn't you say official? How come you became an aide and a teacher?"
Kou Ji looked at him unexpectedly and said teasingly: "You really want to serve?"
Cao Yi heard Kou Ji's teasing, and he smiled bitterly and said: "I really haven't thought about it carefully. Mainly because my father and my uncle take this matter very seriously."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "The Criminal Division Yamen is unusual, and they should pay attention to it. Don't worry, I will definitely handle the things I promised them. It may take a few days to appoint the documents, but this does not prevent you from arriving first.
The Ti Xing Si Yamen is familiar with government affairs."
Cao Yan nodded thoughtfully.
Liu Heng stared at him and said, "Fourth brother, have you convinced my father?"
Kou Ji shook his head.
Liu Heng's expression darkened and he smiled bitterly: "Then why did you ask me to join in the fun?"
Kou Ji glanced at him and said: "What does it mean to join in the fun? There is no such thing as joining in the fun in the yamen. Although I didn't convince your father, I know a little bit about your father's considerations in not letting you become an official."
"What consideration?"
Liu Heng quickly asked.
Kou Ji smiled and said, "Let's find a place where no one is around to talk in detail later."
Although Liu Heng was eager to know Liu Mei's consideration for not letting him become an official, he also knew that this was not a suitable place to talk about private matters.
"Follow me in!"
Kou Ji led Liu Heng and Cao Yi into the main hall of Tixingsi Yamen.
Kou Ji pointed to the small officials in each room and team, and said to Liu Heng and Cao Yi: "Send the people you brought down and follow them to handle government affairs, and supervise them at the same time."
When the officials heard this, they all secretly complained.
They no longer have the mind to take into account the attitude of their superiors. What they need to consider now is how to keep their jobs under the supervision of these people.
The thought of resistance never occurred to them.
Kou Ji brought down Zhang Lun, which has become an open secret in the Criminal Division.
Zhang Lun, a fourth-rank official, was no match for Kou Ji, let alone minor officials like them.
Those who followed Liu Heng and Cao Yi had happy faces.
Kou Ji asked them to supervise these minor officials. It seemed that he did not promise them anything, but they saw hope in their place.
When Liu Heng and Cao Yi were separated, these people volunteered to go to each squad room.
They are also smart people and know that it is difficult to replace these experienced veterans.
So they all picked the one they were best at.
After dividing the people, Kou Ji waved his hand.
"It's all gone..."
Kou Jigang dispersed the petty officials from each room and class.
The prison governor and others angrily rushed into the main hall of the punishment department.
They were just discussing the matter of joining Ding Wei in the public room in the Yamen. Suddenly, they heard from his subordinates that Kou Ji had found a group of people and placed them in each class and room, and they were ready to replace him.
They were shocked when they heard the news.
What followed was overwhelming anger.
They felt that Kou Ji did this because he didn't take them seriously at all.
The prison governor entered the main hall and shouted angrily: "Master Kou, what do you mean?"
Kou Ji stopped Liu Heng who was about to rush forward to teach the prison governor the rules. He turned around and sat behind the desk and said calmly: "What do you mean? Why can't I understand you?"
The prison governor said angrily: "What do you mean by inserting people into each of our classes and rooms? Do you not trust us, or do you want to exclude us?"
When Kou Ji heard this, he pretended to suddenly realize it, raised his hand to pat his forehead, and said with a smile: "I forgot to inform you, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to distrust you, nor did I mean to ignore you.
"
Kou Ji pointed to the files and documents on the table and sighed: "You have also seen how much official work I handle every day. I can't handle it all by myself even if I am exhausted.
Therefore, I invited a group of people to come over and help me review these government affairs in advance.
With them checking everything, I can feel a lot more relaxed."
When the prison governor heard this, his face turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, "By recruiting so many people into the Yamen at once, aren't you afraid of breaking the rules of the court?"
Kou Ji said unexpectedly: "The rules of the imperial court? When did I break the rules of the imperial court? I just invited some teachers and staff. You also have teachers and staff in your house, right? Are you only allowed to invite teachers and staff?
Are you not allowed to invite me?"
The prison governor roared: "How can you hire dozens of staff and teachers?"
Kou Ji curled his lips and said, "What's wrong with inviting dozens of people? The imperial court has no set number of teachers and staff. As long as you can afford it, you can invite as many as you want.
Just because you can't afford dozens of staff and teachers doesn't mean others can't afford them.
You are poor yourself, do you think everyone in the world is as poor as you?"
The prison governor shouted: "Judge Kou, you are going too far. You clearly want to use this to evade us."
Kou Ji smiled when he heard this, but his smile was a bit cold, "Is it too much to bully others? Is it because I bully others too much, or do you bully others too much?"
Kou Ji pointed to the files and documents on the case table and snorted: "When I first arrived at the Criminal Division Yamen, you used these old files and documents to embarrass me.
I just hired some staff, teachers, but you think it’s too much to bully people?
Then you are using these old cases to deceive others?"
The prison governor gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Old cases must be dealt with. This is the rule of the criminal department."
Kou Ji sneered, "Then why don't you handle it and have to wait for me to arrive and let me handle it?"
The prison governor stared at Kou Ji and said, "I can't handle it, so naturally I have to leave it to the adults to make a decision."
Hearing this, Kou Ji had a bright smile on his face, "So, you are incompetent? If you are incompetent and can't handle the matter, I will find a way and ask someone to come and deal with it. Not only do you not thank me, you also come over to ask for punishment.
?
Co-author, it’s true that you are incompetent. But it’s my mistake to ask someone to help you?”
Hearing this, the prison governor could no longer hold back the anger in his heart. He glared at Kou Ji and roared, "Kou Ji, don't bully others too much! Others are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you."
"Bang!"
Kou Ji slapped the table and stood up, saying in a cold voice: "Who gave you the qualification to roar in front of me?"
"snort!"
The prison governor snorted coldly, shook his sleeves angrily, and left the prison hall.
Governor Qian Gu bowed to the side and apologized, "Sir, he has such a personality, you must not blame him. I am here to apologize to you for him."
Kou Ji looked at the prison governor's leaving figure, thoughtfully, and waved his hand, "No need, I am not a narrow-minded person, how can I embarrass him just because he was criticized a few times?"
Upon hearing this, Governor Qian Gu quickly raised his hands and said, "Your Excellency is of high righteousness."
Kou Ji smiled calmly and said: "There is nothing righteous or unjust. You are willing to accomplice him. I guess the relationship between the two of you is not ordinary. Please help me give him a message."
Governor Qiangu bowed and said, "Sir, please speak."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "Tell him that he has been suspended and will no longer have to go to the Criminal Division to do anything."
Governor Qian Gu looked at Kou Ji with his eyes wide open in astonishment.
The other governors also looked at Kou Ji in astonishment.
"Back off!"
Kou Ji waved his hand and ignored them.
Governor Qian Gu grimaced, bowed his hands, and left the main hall.
The other governors also left the main hall one after another after saluting.
When the border patrol officer left the main hall, his footsteps paused.
He stood at the door of the main hall, hesitated again and again, and finally followed Governor Qiangu's footsteps.
After leaving the main hall, Governor Qian Gu said to his colleagues with a grimace: "You can't steal a chicken but lose a rice... We also wanted to embarrass him with an old case, but we didn't expect that he actually took the opportunity to place his own people in the Criminal Division.
. Instead of embarrassing him, we helped him."
Governor Fengzhuang said with a gloomy face: "Then what should we do now?"
Governor Qian Gu shook his head and said: "What else can we do? The difficulties we put together for him were easily solved by him. If we try again, it will only become worse. The only solution now is to seek refuge with Ding Gong and the empress as soon as possible.
Already."
Governor Fengzhuang gritted his teeth and said: "I still have to ask Bodhisattva to let Mr. Kou as soon as possible..."
Before Governor Fengzhuang finished speaking, Governor Qiangu glared at him and said, "Be careful..."
