Seeing Pei Min coming in, Luo Jing hurriedly stood up to greet him: "The prince, He Shangshu is in the side courtyard, and the master is treating him."&1t;/p>

Pei Min nodded and strode towards the side courtyard.&1t;/p>

He has been to this Rende Pharmacy many times, and the familiar ones are just like his own home.&1t;/p>

Wu Yuan was waiting outside anxiously in the side courtyard, and Liu Shenwei was treating He Zhizhang in the room.&1t;/p>

"Pei...Prince Prince..." Wu Yuan felt a little ashamed.&1t;/p>

He gave the order to protect He Zhizhang secretly, but he still made He Zhizhang's life and death unknown.&1t;/p>

"Doctor Liu hasn't come out yet?"&1t;/p>

Pei Min did not blame Wu Yuan. When manpower was exhausted, he believed that Wu Yuan had done his best.&1t;/p>

The real need to bear the anger is the mastermind behind the scenes.&1t;/p>

…&1t;/p>

Chang'an Jingzhao Prefecture!&1t;/p>

The current prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture is Yan Tingzhi.&1t;/p>

Yan Tingzhi was an amazing person, and he was studious in his youth. In the first year of Shenlong, he was promoted to the rank of Jinshi and promoted to the rank of Zheng. He was the new top scholar in the Wu Zetian period.&1t;/p>

In his early years, Yao Chong was the governor of Changzhou. He saw Yan Ting's constitution, and his elegant and polite officials, and his profound skills were different.&1t;/p>

Yao Chong was promoted to the prime minister of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and promoted Yan Tingzhi to the right-hand clerk. He served as a clerk in Kaiyuan, and received unanimous praise from the tribute. He was also valued by Song Jing and entered Jingzhao Prefecture.&1t;/p>

The former Jingzhao Prefecture Prefecture Prime Minister is Pei Min's friend Fan Yu.&1t;/p>

After he abdicated, Yan Tingzhi succeeded him and was responsible for the public security and civil affairs of the 22 counties around the capital.&1t;/p>

Yan Ting's temperament is elegant and elegant, he is serious and responsible as an official, and he is highly praised for his conscientious work in his position.&1t;/p>

On this day, Yan Ting was in charge of the government office.&1t;/p>

As the civil chief of the Three Auxiliary Land, Yan Tingzhi does not need to enter the North Korean director like other officials.&1t;/p>

His mission is to work in Jingzhao Prefecture, and he is not subject to the constraints of various departments, and he can even be sentenced to death in court, and he has great power.&1t;/p>

This is also in line with the status of the county magistrate of other countries.&1t;/p>

Yan Tingzhi has been quite leisurely recently, and there are not many headaches.&1t;/p>

It turned out that the only Yang family who gave him a headache also calmed down.&1t;/p>

Although Yan Tingzhi did not participate in the government affairs, his status was particularly special, and he was still a little informative. He knew it was because of Pei Min.&1t;/p>

Pei Min told Li Longji and returned to the Wei family's house, suppressing the Wei family's arrogance.&1t;/p>

Every time I recite this, Yan Tingzhi felt relieved.&1t;/p>

The Yang family has been doing evil for a long time.&1t;/p>

Officials were bullied and feared that the Yang family would be favored and dared not speak out.&1t;/p>

The people were deceived and even swallowed their anger and did not dare to sue the official.&1t;/p>

Some people sue the officials will eventually be forced to revoke the lawsuit.&1t;/p>

Yan Ting is willing to maintain it, but he is unable to do so. He has limited ability and secretly hated him in his heart. He can't do anything.&1t;/p>

Even though Yan Tingzhi had no contact with Pei Min, he had already made Zhi respect him based on this point and thought with a little comfort: "Find an opportunity to get to know the prince. I have been an official in Chang'an for many years. If I don't even know the prince, it will be ridiculous if I say it out."&1t;/p>

When he was enjoying his comfort, bad news came.&1t;/p>

"Yan Jingzhao, it's not good! Someone was attacked in Xinghuafang, and several people died!"&1t;/p>

Yan Tingzhi suddenly stood up. At the foot of the Emperor Chang'an, there were a large population, and some quarrels were inevitable, but there were very few things that caused human death.&1t;/p>

How many people died?&1t;/p>

"What's the situation? Quickly, let Jingzhao Shao Yindu go to the case site, and report the details of the investigation to me when you come back."&1t;/p>

Although Yan Tingzhi attaches importance to this matter, he does not feel that he needs to do his own job.&1t;/p>

Before the person who reported the news had finished speaking, Jingzhao Shaoyin had already strode in and said, "The prefect, the matter is not good. Xinghuafang was attacked by He Zhizhang, the Minister of Rites. He was frightened and fell off his horse, and his life and death were unknown."&1t;/p>

Yan Tingzhi blinked his eyes, stood up suddenly, and immediately said: "Close Xinghuafang, as well as the surrounding Yankangfang and Fenglefang, are all closed, and investigate suspicious people from door to door. No matter who residents in the shop are, they must be investigated and questioned."&1t;/p>

He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back and forth, saying: "In addition, immediately set up control of the whole city, and order all Wuhoufang Ding Yabo runners in Chang'an to cancel all holidays and deploy defenses in the whole city, and record all the faces of all the towns and cities in Chang'an in half a month. Even if you are looking for a needle in a haystack, you must find the suspicious person."&1t;/p>

"Zong Shaoyin, please follow me to go to the scene..."&1t;/p>

He blurted out his orders without any hesitation.&1t;/p>

He Zhizhang is a third-rank official of the court. It is a big deal to ask the public to be attacked.&1t;/p>

What's more, He Zhizhang has another identity, he is the old brother of Pei Min, the only king of the other surname of the king of Wuwei County.&1t;/p>

Who doesn't know the age-lost friendship between He Zhizhang, Zhang Xu and Pei Min.&1t;/p>

The people in the Shilin even called them the Three Gentlemen in Drinking.&1t;/p>

Now that He Zhizhang is attacked, I don’t know how to react. How will Pei Min react?&1t;/p>

Yan Tingzhi dared not think about it, but he knew very well that if he did nothing in this matter, he would be afraid that he would harm the fish.&1t;/p>

************&1t;/p>

Ministry of Justice!&1t;/p>

The Minister of Justice is Pei Dunfu.&1t;/p>

Pei Dunfu is a native of Wenxi, Shanxi, and is obviously a member of the Pei family. He is quite skillful. In the tenth year of Kaiyuan in Wenxi, Shanxi, he was ordered to be the "Captain of Generals" and he was the first to be ranked first, and he has been successful since then.&1t;/p>

However, Pei Dunfu is not a good official. Although he has no evil deeds, he is a protector.&1t;/p>

A few years ago, he was also the Minister of Justice, Cheng Zangyao, and the general Cao Jian relied on his power to act recklessly, violating the criminal law. Pei Kuan, the Minister of Revenue and Censor of the Ministry of Revenue, arrested the two, and Pei Dunfu asked someone to plead with love, but Pei Kuan refused to follow.&1t;/p>

Pei Dunfu generously took out a thousand taels of gold, ordered his son-in-law to bribe Yang Fei, frame Pei Kuan, and ordered Pei Kuan to be demoted to the prefect of Suiyang.&1t;/p>

Pei Dunfu also got the attention of Yang Jieyu because of his generous donation. He blew the breeze on his pillow several times and got the position of Minister of Justice.&1t;/p>

As the minister in charge of justice and criminal prisons across the country, the Minister of Justice is obviously higher than that of Jingzhao Prefecture and has a greater power.&1t;/p>

In the half hour after the news of Jingzhao Prefecture, the Ministry of Justice also received news that He Zhizhang was attacked.&1t;/p>

"What, He Zhizhang? Which He Zhizhang? Is He Zhizhang the one that Prince Pei thought was his brother?"&1t;/p>

After confirmation, Pei Dunfu's face changed instantly.&1t;/p>

The Ministry of Justice in the Tang Dynasty had little real power, and it was basically limited to civilians and officials below the seventh rank.&1t;/p>

But they are the executive agencies, and as long as they are cases, they will pass by the Ministry of Justice.&1t;/p>

How could the Ministry of Justice stay out of the matter if He Zhizhang is attacked?&1t;/p>

If this big case is not handled properly, after all, he will be held accountable by Pei Min, and he, the Minister of Justice, will be over.&1t;/p>

Not long after he took office, how could Pei Dunfu be willing?&1t;/p>

"Hurry, send someone to Jingzhao Mansion immediately. No, I will go to Jingzhao Mansion in person and call the Minister of Justice to go with me. Before the case is handed over to Dali Temple, I will have the right to cooperate with Jingzhao Mansion..."&1t;/p>

At the same time, the Censorate also got the news!&1t;/p>

The power of the Censorate is a bit special. It is the central administrative supervision organ and the central judicial organ. However, they are not responsible for criminal proceedings. Their main tasks are to be responsible for picking, impeaching officials, and rectifying discipline.&1t;/p>

They target officials, and generally speaking, they are not related to criminal cases.&1t;/p>

However, the Censor Cui Yinfu dared not be careless.&1t;/p>

Everyone knows what kind of character He Zhizhang is, and the most romantic and elegant group of people in Chang'an in the world.&1t;/p>

Drinking and having fun, free and easy, and open-minded, never make enemies with others.&1t;/p>

For someone like him, there is no enemy in private. Even if he offended someone without intention, he would not be able to make a fuss to the point of life and death.&1t;/p>

This is possible for revenge in the officialdom.&1t;/p>

If this matter is caused by the revenge caused by the grudges in the temple, but their Censorate is unaware of anything.&1t;/p>

After investigation, he, the censor, cannot be blamed.&1t;/p>

Only one He Zhizhang would not make things so big, but He Zhizhang was attacked and would definitely anger Pei Min.&1t;/p>

Once Pei Min gets crazy, how can he stay out of the matter?&1t;/p>

"Send someone to notify Jingzhao Yin, our Censorate supports their actions. If the case involves officials, report it immediately... and ask the Censor to follow the case and come forward to help anytime and anywhere."&1t;/p>

In the Tang Dynasty, the highest criminal law institution was undoubtedly Dali Temple.&1t;/p>

By the Qin and Han Dynasties, the predecessor of Dali Temple, Tingwei was in charge of the criminal prison and reviewed serious cases of criminal prisons in various places.&1t;/p>

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the scope of power of Dali Temple was wider.&1t;/p>

Especially when Dali Temple produced two criminal law geniuses, Di Renjie and Xu Yougong.&1t;/p>

Di Renjie judged the case as a god. It took a year to clear all the backlog of cases. There were as many as 17,000 people involved, but afterwards, there was no one who called for justice. The number and quality of the case were so large that it was a good story at that time.&1t;/p>

Xu Yougong worked in the judicial office for fifteen years, and executed more than 700 major cases and saved tens of thousands of people. He neither seeks profit for himself nor is he shaken by the monarch's selfish desires. He repeatedly contradicted Wu Zetian and dismissed Wu Zetian twice and sentenced him to death three times.&1t;/p>

With their efforts, Dali Temple has an extremely prestige, far surpassing the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice. The power controlled by the hands is naturally the largest among the three judicial authorities.&1t;/p>
