Just as the Minister of Punishment finished speaking, the Imperial Censor couldn't stand it any longer. He looked at the Shangshu of the Punishment Department and said, "Old Zhang, you are doing such nonsense, aren't you afraid that I will give you a copy in front of His Majesty?"
The Minister of Punishment shrugged and said, "Have I accepted a bribe? Is this also a legitimate income from labor? Is it illegal?"
Xu Qing drags his chin and ponders. In Chu State, there is no rule against making up classes. It is indeed not illegal to charge tuition fees for making up classes.
The imperial censor carefully reviewed the legal provisions, finally looked at the Minister of Punishment, took a deep breath, and said: "I am joining the gang!"
"Eh?!" Xu Qing's eyes widened when he heard what the censor said.
At this time, the minister of Dali Temple on the side looked at the Minister of Punishment, then at the imperial censor, and said: "Then I will also join the gang!"
Xu Qing looked at the three shameless senior brothers with doubts on his face. What on earth was he doing today?
In the end, after a heated discussion, the chief officer of the Third Law Department decided that the junior brother, who contributed both to the venue and the effort, would still account for 50% of the profits, and the remaining 50% would be shared between the three of them.
After the profits were distributed, a few people began to discuss the case of Zhou's envoys.
The Minister of Punishment looked at Xu Qing and asked: "Master Su said that my junior brother is very good at solving crimes. I wonder if my junior brother has any solution to these two assassination cases of Zhou envoys?"
Xu Qing blurted out: "What to solve? Couldn't senior brother see that it was our own people who did it? In order to find an excuse to start a war with our Chu country."
The Minister of Punishment said: "My brother originally thought so too, but is the price too high? I always thought that the victim was a concubine prince or princess, but now he has become the legitimate son of the Yang family. The price is too high.
.”
"Also, it doesn't make sense. Since it was discussed in advance, why did another insignificant little envoy die? It stands to reason that killing a high-ranking and powerful person is enough, and killing another one would be superfluous."
Xu Qing said: "I just know a secret that I shouldn't know. It's not a big deal."
The imperial censor looked at Xu Qing and said, "Why is my junior brother so sure? Does it mean that he already knows something in advance?"
Xu Qing's heart: Can I still tell you that I was the one who instigated this matter?
But no matter what he was thinking in his heart, he still said on the surface: "Three senior brothers, you might as well think about it. Your Majesty asked the three adults to investigate the case. Did you ask about the suspicious points of the case? Did you urge the progress of solving the case? Even if it was later in court.
The envoys of the State of Zhou have put pressure on you many times, but has Your Majesty ever ordered the three brothers to shorten the time it takes to solve the case?"
After Xu Qing said this, the Minister of Punishment was the first to react, and then the Imperial Censor and the Minister of Dali Temple also reacted.
yes!
If His Majesty is really anxious to solve the case, he will definitely want to urge you three times a day and ask questions every three days.
But now, His Majesty neither urges nor asks, and looks very anxious on the surface. In fact, the last time he entered the palace, he saw His Majesty and the Prince sitting together and playing chess leisurely!
On the surface, it is a joint trial between the three divisions and the case is solved within a time limit. In fact, isn’t that just what you think it looks like?!
The Minister of Punishment looked at Xu Qing and said, "Junior brother, what you are saying is that your Majesty and the prince have actually known about it for a long time?"
Xu Qing shook his head and said: "What do your majesty and the prince think? How dare we as ministers dare to speculate? With that said, three senior brothers, leave."
The faces of the Minister of Justice, the Imperial Censor, and the Minister of Dali Temple suddenly showed "I understand" expressions on their originally anxious faces. They stood up and cupped their hands and said, "Little junior brother, walk slowly."
Now all the court officials know that although this uncle from Anding County is not in the court and rarely even appears in the capital, he is actually closer to His Majesty and the Prince than to the two Prime Ministers.
I heard that Princess Yongle has been having dinner at the uncle's house in Anding County for a long time. Not to mention Princess Yongle, sometimes the prince would go there to drink.
This signal is so obvious!
The last colored glaze exhibition was planned by Anding County uncle himself.
This uncle from Anding County, who is usually seen as a dragon but never seen its tail, is actually the real minister of the emperor.
After Xu Qing went out, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment came over, holding a file in his hand and said: "My lords, I just found out some suspicious clues."
The Minister of Punishment looked at the imperial censor and said: "Old Song, I heard that the Guoshang Yuan has opened a new restaurant called 'Hot Pot Buffet'. Let's go have hot pot together later. Lao Yan, will you go?"
The Dali Temple Qing asked: "Are you treating me?"
The Minister of Punishment asked in confusion: "Aren't we three Jiajia systems?"
The minister of Dali Temple asked doubtfully: "What kind of armor?"
The imperial censor said: "Old Yan, you really can't keep up with the trend, and you can't keep up with the trend. The Jiajia system is that a few people go to eat together, and then pay their own share of the bill when paying.
The "Jingcheng Xun Bao" is called the Jiajia system."
The Minister of Dali Temple thought for a while and said: "Is there a system of A, A and B?"
The Minister of Punishment asked in confusion: "What is the system of Jia, Jia, and B?"
The Qing of Dali Temple said: "You go to A first, and I will go over to eat after a while (B) with my face licked."
The Minister of Punishment and the Imperial Censor: "Get out of here!"
The left minister of the Criminal Department on the side was holding the file and looking at the chief officer of the Three Laws Department who was about to go out, and quickly said: "Three adults, three adults!"
The Minister of Punishment turned around and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"
The left minister of the Ministry of Punishment held the file in his hand and said: "The clues about the assassination case of Zhou Guo's governor just now..."
Before the left minister of the Ministry of Justice finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Minister of the Ministry of Justice: "You can just find a place to put it. Didn't you see that we are going to eat? Really, after working as a minister for six years, I have no eyesight at all.
No……"
The left minister of the Criminal Department looked at the chief officer of the Third Law Department walking out arm in arm, and murmured: "Didn't you say that you should report back as soon as possible if you have any news about the case?"
Recently, the three adults have been solving crimes without thinking about food and drink. Why do they suddenly think about it now?
baffling……
…
"Uncle of Anding County! Uncle of Anding County, stay!"
Xu Qing had not taken two steps out of the Penal Department Yamen when he heard someone calling him. Just as he turned around, he saw Ambassador Zhao walking quickly towards Xu Qing holding his big belly.
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Lu Zhengshi."
Xu Qing was very curious. According to Long Bing'er's description, isn't this gentleman very busy on weekdays? How come he still has time to go shopping?
The envoy of Zhao Guozheng looked at Xu Qing and cupped his hands and said, "Is Mr. Anding still busy?"
Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "If you are busy, I just finished it at dawn this morning, but I am not busy now."
Even if he is busy on weekdays, he cannot be busy on the street.
That's not being busy, that's being a hooligan and you'll be arrested!
When Zhao Guozheng heard what Xu Qing said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It turns out that I have just finished my work. I wanted to visit the Anding County uncle several times in the past few days, but Deputy Envoy Long said that the Anding County uncle has been busy. I
Don’t bother me, I’ll just finish my work with you from Anding County, just finish my work.”
"Long Bing'er?! How did she know I was busy?!" Xu Qing was surprised at first, and then asked doubtfully: "Is it really a kind of busyness we are talking about?"
