Chapter 242 The County Lieutenant's Background

That night, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment quietly settled down in the county magistrate's mansion, and no one knew about it except them.

The next day, they received news that officials from the Ministry of Punishment had arrived.

Let the county magistrate who is now acting as the county magistrate's affairs go to meet him, and this is the county magistrate's uncle.

After hearing this, Chen Yi and Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice looked at each other, they didn't expect such a coincidence.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice asked for credit: "Look, I came in time, otherwise I don't know how to jump around. This is not an ordinary person."

Chen Yi could hear the displeasure in the words of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He didn't know the origin of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice before, and he hadn't paid much attention to it. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice seemed to be happy with everyone, as if he had friends everywhere.

There is only gossip in his mouth, there is no distinction between preferences, and now he dislikes this person so much, is there a story?
Chen Yi asked directly, and Chen Yi also discovered that the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment not only gossips, but also likes to share gossip, but he needs you to take the initiative to ask, and he can only say what he can say.

It has to be said that the person who was able to climb from the bottom to the current position and was directly promoted by the first emperor without the imperial examination is really not an ordinary person.

"Hey, this official sent by the Ministry of Criminal Justice is the Cleaning Department, who is in charge of all cases in the local area. Apart from me, there are only two servants who are his superiors. This cleaning official is surnamed Liu, and he is the second son of Mr. Liu of the Imperial Academy. Bastard."

Chen Yi suddenly remembered that although the rank of the official cleansing department was not high, not even the rank of some officials of the Ministry of Punishment in the imperial capital, he fought with all his strength.

The position and rank here are separated, the position is your scope of authority, and the rank is linked to the salary.

Therefore, low wages do not necessarily mean low rights.

This is the case with the Clean Officials Department, because the Clean Officials Department has great power. In Dawu Kingdom, many regions will be divided, and the Clean Officials Department is the highest official of the Ministry of Punishment in the region.

Just like what Shangshu Xingbu said, in terms of rights, apart from him and the two servants of Xingbu, the Qingli Department has the greatest power, and is directly under the jurisdiction of Xingbu Shangshu.

After all, the Dawu Kingdom is so big, and there is only one Minister of the Ministry of Justice, how can he manage it.

Just like the case of Heaven's Punishment of Heroes now, there are local officials who have been killed all over the Dawu Kingdom, and they have to be reported to the criminal branch of the higher county for management.

However, because of the bad influence and the seriousness of the case, it crossed the county and passed directly to the Cleaning Department in charge of the western region above the county to intervene in the investigation.

Generally, it would be good if the Qing officials were resolved, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments would not be disturbed.

So this matter, if it is found out that the Heavenly Punishment Hero did not do it, it will not be submitted to the Minister of Criminal Affairs at all.

It got stuck in the hands of this official Liu Qing.

Knowing the twists and turns, Chen Yi realized that he was naive before. Fortunately, he wrote a letter to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and understood why the county captain was so arrogant and domineering.

This kind of reliance can be formidable. Of course, with Chen Yi's current official position, this official Liu Qing dare not offend.

Not only because of his rank, but also because Chen Yi is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Officials is equivalent to the current administrative agency, which supervises officials, and Chen Yi has the right to supervise.

The county lieutenant killed someone, and Chen Yi showed his identity, so he could report on the county lieutenant's situation, but it was of no help to the county magistrate, after all, Liu Qing's officials had the final say on the case.

As long as the procedures are followed, Chen Yi has no right to interfere too much, even if he has a title.

This can use these to exert pressure, but the name is not right, and it will attract criticism.

But Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice is different, he must find out the truth.

Moreover, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice also said that this is the concubine son of Lord Liu of the Imperial Academy, and this Lord Liu seems to be unusual. He has a very good relationship with the late emperor, and he is also a teacher and friend of the late emperor.

He was very appreciated by the first emperor, so now the empress should also respect him very much.

So at this time, Chen Yi was very grateful for the arrival of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice.

Then he heard what the minister of punishment said.

"This guy not only played with women but also men outside before, and even killed people. It's just that this guy finished it neatly, and he has never been caught."

Hearing this, Chen Yi couldn't help frowning. It seems that the goodness of Longyang is not something that can be talked about openly here.

Originally, Chen Yi disliked him because he was relied on by the county lieutenant, but now he hates it even more.

"His family has a wife, why would he do such a thing? And why would he marry a small family woman like the county captain's sister?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice sneered: "What wife?! It's a concubine who is favored, and the status can be a little bit, and the concubine is mainly because the county captain has some skills and can be used by him. Why do you think the county captain dared to kill the county? make?"

Chen Yi didn't dare to think about it, and looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice with wide eyes.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Chen Shilang is a person who does great things, and I am naturally not well informed about these dirty things. I guess this is just to make it easier for Liu Qing to find someone. "

Chen Yi was a little angry. In order to make it easier for him to find a man to play with, he urged the county magistrate to kill the county magistrate, and blamed the county magistrate. When the county magistrate came to power, the county would become their world!
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice saw that Chen Yi had already figured out what was going on, and he sighed. He didn't know if it was right for Chen Yi to know so much, and whether it would bring trouble to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi sorted out the matter again, and looked up at the Minister of the Ministry of Justice: "It seems that we can't move this person yet."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice nodded and shrugged helplessly.

"It's not the time, and there is no evidence. Now we can only cut off his scheme in this way, and use this matter to warn him, so that he can restrain himself and save a few people from suffering."

Chen Yi didn't know what to say. He already had definite evidence that the county magistrate was killed.

The county lieutenant cannot escape, but this Liu Qing official has no handle at all.

Chen Yi could only write down this matter, and save it for future planning. There are many such officials in the Great Wu Kingdom, otherwise the Great Wu Kingdom would not have reached its present level.

These officials belong to the local government, and they don't need to go to court early, and they can do whatever they want in their own territory, which is really abominable.

Chen Yi then thought of those Dali Temple officials who helped the emperor to make private visits and secretly investigate. Unfortunately, this dynasty did not have it. Chen Yi felt that it was not enough now, and he had a lot of things to do.

Now let's deal with the external troubles first, and one day we will clean up the internal officials, fundamentally solve the oppressed life of the people of Dawu Kingdom, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment.
