Vol 4 Chapter 867: Take office

,,!
Qi Ning naturally didn't know what happened to Xian'er and Heipao. When he returned to Hou's house that night, he was sure that Tang Nuo had no problems.
Although Tang Nuo turned into a crisis, Qi Ning was not happy. He wanted to dig Lu Shanghe's whereabouts from Duan Qingchen. Now Duan Qingchen has been wiped out. Lu Shanghe's whereabouts are even more difficult to find.
He got up early the next morning, and after washing, he took two attendants straight to the department gate.
Long Tai has handed over the criminal department to him. Now that he is in charge of one, he still has to look at it.
The Yamen Gate of the Criminal Department was located on Mingyang Street, not far from the Imperial City. This street was filled with yamen gates of the courts. Before Qi Ning arrived at the Yamen Gate of the Penal Department, he saw a black plaque on the head of the criminal department. The word "corruption", two gold and gold couplets hung on the left and right door posts, and the six criminal department officials stood on the left and right sides, and pressed the knife handle of the knife, which seemed very solemn.
Qi Ning was dismounted, and the entourage had already shouted: "Jinyi is waiting for the drive, come in and get through!"
A guard of the criminal department immediately ran to the report, and not long after that, Qi Ning saw four or five officials sparsely coming here. The first one was in his early forties and was thin. When he saw Qi Ning, he accelerated his pace. He bowed forward and said, "Shen Lian, the principal of Xiaguan Penal Department, paid a visit to Lord Hou!"
Several officials behind him also saluted Qi Ning together.
Qi Ning frowned slightly, and asked, "Who is in charge now?"
"Hui Ye is Lord Zuo, Lang Daxi." Shen Lian respectfully said: "However, Master Daxi has been sick for a few days and has been healing in the government. Today, he failed to come to the Yamen to do a job." Having said this, he looked up slightly. See Qi Ning.
Qi Ning thought that it seemed that Laozi really shot too hard last time, and Da Xiong was unable to go out now, and asked, "Who is the right servant of the criminal department?"
"It's Master Chu." Shen Lian said: "But Master Chu is currently working on a case and can't welcome him. Please forgive me, Hou Ye."
Qi Ning hesitated before asking: "Is the purpose of the palace granted?"
"Hou Ye said that the purpose of the emperor's decree was to let Hou Ye take charge of the Ministry of Justice?" Shen Lian said in a calm voice: "Return to Hou Ye, the will was issued yesterday, and everyone has been waiting for Hou Ye to come to office."
Qi Ning thought that the line had not yet received the will, only thought that today was a sudden visit, so there were only a few officials to welcome, and now it seems that this is not the case.
Since the purpose was promulgated, the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs naturally knew that they were going to be in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Today they came to the Yamen the first day. According to the truth, even if the Criminal Department does not engage in a welcome ceremony, at least the officials in the Yamen should also come out to welcome, But at a glance, there were only a few officials, and even the leader of the criminal department was the only one to greet him.
Qi Ning suddenly felt a little upset, but he didn't say anything, and said with a smile: "This official is the first day of business today, and you have to take care of you." No nonsense, carrying his hands, he went to the office.
He did not claim to be his lord, but claimed to be an official, which naturally told everyone that he entered the punishment department door not to speak as a knight, but to stay here as the chief of the punishment department.
When they entered the Yamen, those officials all said to Qi Ning: "Hou Ye, the humble office still has official duties, please retire first!" Several people even retired from Qi Ning's words, and then they all retired, and finally only left Shen Lian, the principal of the criminal department, stayed with him.
Qi Ning frowned and glanced at Shen Lian, but Shen Lian was cautious. When Qi Ning glanced at him, Shen Lian immediately bowed to his body and appeared extremely humble, with a slight smile on his face.
"It seems that the Yamen is very busy today. Is there anything to do with the case?" Qi Ning shouldered his hands and went to the Yamen Zhengtang of the Criminal Department.
Shen Lian followed him carefully, saying: "When I return to Houhou, the criminal department will take charge of the world's criminal names, and the affairs have always been very busy. Recently, the Huainan Wang conspiracy case occurred, and Sheng Shang has been ordered to be investigated by the criminal department, so the officials in the government are large and small Right now it is doing this. "
Qi Ning stopped and turned his back with his hands on his shoulders, seemingly smiling: "They are all dealing with a case of Huainan Wang's rebellion? Very good, the officer also got the will of the emperor to investigate the case thoroughly. Master Shen, you come Talk about how you are going to handle this case so that I can learn. "
Shen Lian was stunned, but immediately laughed: "Hou Ye, this case was originally under the jurisdiction of Master Daxi. After Master Daxi's recuperation, Master Chu is currently responsible for presiding over, so how to investigate this case is all told by Master Chu. , Humble office is just to obey the orders. "
"It turned out to be so." Qi Ning thought that Shen Lian was an old slipper, and he was not angry. He smiled and said: "The official came to the Penal Department for the first time. Everything is unknown. Master Shen, how would you like to introduce?"
Shen Lian hurriedly said: "Returning to Houye, the Criminal Department currently has the Supervision Department, the Autumn Trial Department, the Reduction Department, the jail cell, the stolen punishment bank, the redemption punishment office and the Seventh Division of the Legislative Museum. There are two people, four principals, another twenty-one chiefs, twenty-eight officials, and seventy-six officials. The total number of officials is one hundred thirty-six, and there are two hundred bureaucrats. Eighty people, there are more than four hundred people in the whole criminal department.
Qi Ning thought that the punishment of the punishment department was considered to be bloated. There were more than 400 people in the punishment of the punishment department, and the total of six punishment departments was 2,000 or 3,000.
Today, the Chu Kingdom is only half of the country, and it is not counted as other government departments. If it is completely counted, the officials in Jianye Jingcheng are really an extremely large team.
After the Qinhuai War, Chu's vitality was seriously hurt and the treasury was empty, but it still had such a huge management team. It is no wonder that the Ministry of Households always called for poverty.
"How many people are on duty today at the Seventh Division of the Criminal Department?" Qi Ning asked while walking, but he didn't go to the lobby at this time. He saw a large stele on the left, bypassing the stele and following a bluestone path. .
Shen Lian was surprised that Qi Ning did not enter the lobby, but he did not dare to say anything. He followed him carefully and replied: "Due to the case of King Huainan in the past few days, Master Chu has commanded that no one should take a break. In addition to the individual officials who go out on business, there are hundreds of people in the government. "
"Hundreds of people are busy, which is good." Qi Ning glimpsed a large yard on the side, with a plaque hanging, and writing the Autumn Trial Office, knowing that this was one of the seven divisions of the Criminal Department, carrying his hands and passing, Shen Lian speeded up. And said aside: "Hou Ye, why not go to the lobby for a cup of tea, wait for them to stop the errand in their hands, and then go to meet Hou Ye?"
Qi Ning didn't pay any attention to it, and walked into the courtyard. The courtyard was surrounded by blue brick and white tiles, and he didn't make a sound. He heard a sound from a room, and moved slowly, walked to the window, and saw that the window was open However, five or six officials gathered in the house, forming a circle, one by one, and no one looked at the window.
Qi Ning did n’t know what these guys were doing. He walked into the house lightly. A group of people did n’t realize it. When Qi Ning approached the side, he found several officials around a table with a big mouth in the middle. In the glazed jar, the two crickets were fighting a lot. Several officials were looking at the fierce crickets with their eyes wide open. No one cared about Qining approaching.
Shen Lian followed Qi Ning with a slight discoloration on her face. She coughed several times deliberately. No one noticed at first. After Shen Lian coughed seven or eight times, a man turned his head and saw Shen Lian, laughing: "Master Shen , Hurry and come and see, Master Hu brought his black general here today, it looks a bit patient! "
Shen Lian was even jealous. The man saw Shen Lian squeezing his eyebrows and was a little strange. He glanced to the side and saw a young man standing beside him, but he had never seen it before, did not know it, and couldn't help asking. Tao: "Who are you?"
In response to this question, several other officials recovered and turned their heads to look at Qi Ning.
Qi Ning smiled and did not say anything, but saw an official stepping forward and fell to his knees: "The Cao Sen, the director of the Autumn Trial Department, has met Hou Ye!"
When other officials heard the word "Hou Ye", they didn't pay much attention, and they knelt down to worship. Qi Ning glanced and smiled, "Get up."
Everyone got up, and Qi Ning glanced at Shen Lian with a smile: "Shen Zhushi told me that all the adults in the Yamen are busy doing business, and I was curious, so I came over and looked at it casually." Looking at the cricket tank At a glance, he smiled and said: "Everyone likes this trick?"
Secretary Cao Sen laughed: "Hou Ye, when we are idle in the autumn trial office, we will find some fun to relax. After all, every case is dead and sloppy. If it is always tight, it is easy to make a mistake. Errands. There have been mistakes in other government offices, and there is still a chance of remedy, but our Penal Department failed. "
"It turns out so." Qi Ning laughed: "Is it hard for you all to enter the Yamen Gate early in the morning?"
Cao Sen smiled and said: "This is the rule of the autumn trial. We are used to it. We have fun for a while and do various tasks. This has been true for all these years."
"Rules?" Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, "Each line has its own rules, as the saying goes. State-owned state laws and family rules. This penal office also has its own rules. Since it is a rule ~ EbookFREE.me ~ It's not easy to destroy, you just keep playing. "Raised your hand:" Please! "
The officials looked at each other, but Cao Sen smiled and beckoned: "Hou Ye is all talking, everyone will finish this fight. Old Lu, if your black general wins my big green head today, The house in the west of my city will be given to you. If I win, your tea set will be handed over. "
Several officials looked embarrassed, but Qi Ning smiled slightly, said nothing, and turned to go out.
Shen Lian went out behind Qi Ning, embarrassingly said: "Hou Ye, this is always the case in the autumn trial, but they have never delayed the mission."
"It's okay, I just arrived at the first time, just to meet with you." Qi Ning didn't change his face, with a smile: "Oh, where is Master Chu? Since he is in charge of the affairs of the criminal department, I should see him and ask him Ask for advice. "
Shen Lian hurriedly said: "Hou Ye asked to go here, Master Chu is over there in the Law Hall."
"Lead the way!" Qi Ning carried his hands and looked quite relaxed. Shen Lian was very respectful in leading the way through the hall, but Qi Ning found out that the officers of the Criminal Department saw themselves, but they saluted themselves far away, but not Close to every minute
