Holding the table and slowly sat down on the stool. Looking at the paper on the table, Xu Ping said in a deep voice: "Does of people have the same excuse. Do you think it is trustworthy?"

Wu Zunlu sneered and shook his head: "Because the three officials laid off people, these public officials thought of causing trouble together and I could still convince myself. Even the words were basically the same, that was to show that they were ridiculed us!"

Xu Ping looked up at Liu Han and Sima Chi: "What do you two think?"

Liu Ying said: "These must be made up! I think these little guys may have been caught by the government, and they had already made a fuss before the incident! It is not difficult to break their tricks, but it only takes time. The problem is that hundreds of people have been arrested now, and most of the daily government affairs of the Sansi have been stopped. We have no time at all! The Political Affairs Hall cannot give us time!"

Sima Chi hesitated and said, "It's getting late now. We must organize the paper and hand it over to the Zhengshi Hall, otherwise we will not be able to catch up today. Alas, how can we report these confessions to the Zhengshi Hall? All the personnel have been arrested and there are confessions. If the Zhengshi Hall closes the case, what if we don't believe in the confessions of these people?"

Xu Ping frowned and lowered his head, feeling his head hurt. During the morning court, Lu Yijian's attitude was already very clear, that was, he would settle the case early and suppress the matter. If the existing results were reported, he would just give him a justification and send a letter to let several people close the case quickly on the grounds of affecting the affairs of the court, and the matter would be left in vain.

If this is the result, why did I make trouble for a few people for a day? This time I was fooled by a small official, how could I do things in the third department in the future? What new opening business is just for these people to waste?

"Report it. Since the result is like this, we can't stop reporting it." Xu Ping raised his head and looked at the three of them, "But we must make it clear that we don't believe the confessions of these people because there are too many doubts. When we catch hundreds of people, the day is too short, so we don't have time to carefully identify it and ask us to be given a few more days. We should tell the Secretariat that we just suspect that these people collude to cheat. If we cannot be tried clearly this time, such things will occur one after another!"

Sima Chi sighed: "I have to do this first. Write a letter and report it to the Secretary of the Central Committee. I will go back to the yamen to report to the master of the Taiwan government, what does the master of the Taiwan government say?"

Sima Chi wrote the results of the trial and explained the thoughts of several people. Xu Ping first wrote the stamp, and the others followed behind the masks.

Wu Zunlu and Sima Chi left, Liu Han went to clean up the mess, and Xu Ping sat alone behind the table, watching the red sunset in the sky in a daze. Now things are squeezed, Xu Ping feels unprecedentedly difficult.

At this moment, Xu Ping suddenly felt that it was a good thing for the government to be more crude. If it could be simple and crude, many of the problems we are facing now could be solved.

However, the founding of the Song Dynasty always emphasized the need to be cautious in punishment. After the Zhenzong Dynasty, it was even more severe, or the Zhenzong needed to use this to win the hearts of the people. To this era, officials were even more restricted in handling cases. Most of the so-called famous officials in prison relied on wisdom and tricks to solve problems, rather than relying on severe punishments and laws.

Officials who like punishment at any time will have a bad reputation among scholars and officials, and will be impeached for no reason. This is why Xu Ping has always been cautious about the use of punishment and tried not to leave any scars.

It doesn’t matter which one is better or worse, it depends on the degree. As long as it can ensure social stability and harmony, most people have a sense of security, it is what society needs. It is only for the society to pay attention to be kind and righteous and lenient, but the criminals will not receive the punishment they deserve, and they will become more and more rampant, and social security will become worse. It is not advisable.

This is obviously the case in this era. The prison is the political achievements of officials, and the few people sentenced to death are the emperor's benevolent politics, and they all have to be written very much. However, no one has considered their feelings for those who have been hurt by crimes.

Xu Ping is also facing this problem now. He does not have clear accusations or evidence in his hands, so he cannot arrest people randomly, and even more so, he cannot use torture. Although he knows that the Grand Master Liu in Xu Chang's mouth must be a powerful person, he cannot catch them back and question them, but can only find evidence from those who are causing trouble on the street.

The opponent obviously knows this, and cuts it off wherever you get caught, just like a centipede with countless feet that can be abandoned. He knows it is there, but he can't catch it in his hand.

Looking at the setting sun in the sky, Xu Ping also felt helpless.

The next day, Xu Ping and others did not go to the morning court. They gathered in the Salt and Iron Department early in the morning to continue to review and identify the arrested public officials. The situation did not change much, and it was still helpless.

The sun was rising, and Guo Zi, who had gone down the morning court, returned to the Yantioxuesi Yamen and whispered to Xu Ping: "Deputy Envoy, this morning court, Wang Xianggong and Lu Xianggong quarreled in the Chuigong Hall!"

Xu Pingqi said: "What's the noise?

Not to mention that Wang Zeng has always had a kind temper, the two have a close relationship and shouldn't have quarreled.

Guo Zi said with a wicked smile: "It's not for the case you are dealing with now. After reading yesterday's letter, Mr. Lu thought that the case could be closed, and he would be exiled to the dozens of people in the leader, and the rest of the blind followers were stopped. Mr. Wang disagreed and said that there were still many doubts in the case that need to be clarified and he would have to wait a few more days. Mr. Lu insisted, but Mr. Wang refused to give in. The two started a quarrel in the court. Cai Chanzheng helped Mr. Wang, and Mr. Song Chanzheng helped Mr. Lu, hehe, it was so lively."

Xu Ping didn't have the heart to laugh and asked Guo Zi: "How to decide in the end?"

"You'd better let you review for two days. If there is no result, it will be decided like this."

Although the prime ministers were ranked first and Wang Zeng, Wang Zeng was second, but his qualifications were still senior. It was not a particularly important government policy. In the end, Lu Yijian chose to take a step back and give Xu Ping and others two or three days.

Xu Ping called Liu Han, Sima Chi and Wu Zunlu and told them about this.

The atmosphere was a little dull for a moment, and everyone felt that things were tricky.

At this moment, a general hurriedly ran in and saluted in front of Xu Ping: "Deputy envoy, there are people from Kaifeng Prefecture outside, and they are always going to come in to catch the criminals. We stopped him and didn't listen. We were about to break in a while!"

When Xu Ping heard this, he suddenly rushed up. Even Kaifeng Mansion bullied him, thinking that Sansi was a soft persimmon?

Wu Zunlu, who was on the other hand, saw that Xu Ping's expression was wrong, hurried forward and said, "I don't know if there is any official business involved in the Three Divisions, but I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding between them. The deputy envoy waits and I'll go out and take a look."

Xu Ping tried his best to calm down and nodded to Wu Zunlu.

After a while, Wu Zunlu rushed back and said to Xu Ping: "One wave has not yet been settled, and another wave has started again. Today, there is another major case in Kaifeng City! It's right for Kaifeng Mansion to come and get people. I've let them in."

Wu Zunlu was the promoter of Kaifeng Prefecture, so of course he spoke to his yamen.

Xu Ping said with a cold face: "What case? Who is involved in the Sansi?"

"This morning, a Jinzhou Jinshi who failed the provincial examination and died of hanged himself before the goods were filed. Before his death, he left a suicide note saying that he was deceived by the public officials who were filed with goods and secretly exchanged his money for the transfer. He was left with both people and money, and he was indifferent to his life. The deputy envoy knew that at this time, there were countless days of candidates who had been to take the exam. Those who failed the provincial examination were at a loss and were filled with resentment. Taking advantage of this matter, more than 100 Jinshi who failed the imperial examination and blocked the gate of the Guyuan, asking the court to give an explanation. The imperial court said that the chief of the Jinshi who lied to him was arrested here for interrogation. This is a big case of life, and any collusion between public officials is a trivial matter, so Kaifeng Prefecture hurried over to get people."

Xu Ping frowned and said nothing.

In the year of the year, thousands of additional Juren who came to take the exam out of thin air in Kaifeng City at the beginning of the year had already been reported. Once the results of the provincial examination came out, those who failed the exam had all kinds of situations. The worst thing was that those who borrowed loans to take the exam at home, and even had no travel expenses to go home. Even if they were asking for food and returned home, their lives would not be settled in the future. Those who committed suicide and those who took risks would never be fewer in the past few months. If such cases occurred, those who failed the exam were just using this to vent their resentment.

But Cheng Lin, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, felt that he had not become the magistrate, and knew Kaifeng Prefecture, and he was not happy. At this time, he still wanted to fight for half a year to show his methods.

It is not that the case does not occur in Zhukong, but that no matter what case is tried, it will be held on the same day without detaining the suspect who has not been finalized. It is extremely difficult to do this in a place like Kaifeng Prefecture. Without means, it is simply impossible to complete the task.

Therefore, if such a life case occurs, Cheng Lin must take the criminal back in the shortest time, and the sun sets out before the setting. If unfortunately it is delayed to the next day, the time of the prison will be recalculated.

When he ordered his subordinates to let the Kaifeng Mansion go in, Xu Ping felt that he had a severe headache, and this matter was getting more and more complicated. When it comes to the death case, I don’t know how much time it has left for him.

After a moment, the inspector of Kaifeng Prefecture brought the servants in a fierce manner, bowed to Xu Ping, and said loudly: "The Duke of Fengfu sent a dispatch to capture the suspect Cui Youde, the chief official of the goods affairs, and ask Deputy Envoy Xu to release him!"

Xu Ping nodded and ordered a general to bring Cui Youde over.

Seeing Cui Youde, who was in his thirties, come over, the inspector who led the team lowered his head and asked the people around him to confirm the criminal, and shouted sternly to Cui Youde: "Cui Youde, you have committed a case of stealing money from someone, and follow me back to Kaifeng Mansion for court!"

Cui Youde shouted unjustly: "The Emperor is above, Cui swore to the heaven that there is no such thing! The Jinshi of Jinzhou had already taken a fake hand over to the goods exchange. He had already made trouble a few times a few days ago. Many people in the affairs department knew about it, how could he wrongly accuse me out of thin air!"

"So much nonsense, follow me to the Kaifeng Prefecture Office and talk to the Duke of the Mansion!"

The inspector said, while instructing his subordinates to come forward to get people. To be continued.
Chapter completed!
