Since I met you, people are dying every day

Seeing that his eyes were clear and caring, Ye Sirui nodded with a smile and walked in slowly.

As soon as he stepped in, before he had time to kneel down, a pen flew towards him.Fortunately, Zhu Quan has some sense of propriety, and there is no ink in this pen.Ye Sirui himself was also used to this trick, so he picked up the wolf hair calmly.The waiter immediately stepped forward to take the pen and presented it.

Ye Sirui knelt down respectfully.

"The lower official has seen the Inspector-General."

Zhu Quan's face was already flushed, and after throwing the pen, he leaned on the table and stared at him aggressively, and there was no movement for a long time.Ye Sirui knelt down after greeting him, waiting for his response.

"Ye Sirui, you are so proud of yourself!" Zhu Quan held back for a long time, and managed to force out such a sentence. "Trouble me to come forward to get the papers from the Ministry of Rites, and then openly set up a stall in the yamen, even if a big fire burns them all, Mr. Ye, you are so proud of yourself!"

Ye Sirui stared intently at the toes of the boots exposed under the case, "I am guilty of the crime."

"You get up and talk first!" Zhu Quan said firmly.The boy naturally knew what was going on, and immediately stepped forward to help him up. Ye Sirui moved a few steps closer to the table and stood with his hands down.

Seeing his face, Zhu Quan became angry again, "What are you standing there for!" He yelled at the subordinate officer, who led the servant out and closed the door.Zhu Quan's furious eyes and words poured on him without any scruples. "Nowadays, the officials from the Ministry of Rites came to greet with a smile in the early morning. How about opening their mouths to open the yamen? The test papers should be fine, right? Tell me how this official will explain to the Ministry of Rites, and how this case will be solved!" He clapped his hands heavily on several cases On the table, the meeting stationery on the case trembled.

Ye Sirui said: "The fire was burning for no apparent reason, and it was rushing towards our yamen. This shows that the officials did not misread it, and there were indeed clues in the test paper."

From his point of view, he could clearly see Zhu Quan's chest rising and falling violently, "So what if there is a clue? I lost all the papers, so what are you talking about!" Every time Zhu Quan said a word, his fisted hands would To hit a few cases.

"Except for the Palace Examination, all scientific examination papers must be transcribed first, and then corrected, and the Township Examination is no exception." Ye Sirui had been thinking about how to solve this problem all night, and now he is talking about it with confidence. "The grades have already been revealed. What was burned was the copied test paper, and what was lost was nothing more than the examiner's marks and comments. And the clues of what the officer said are not in the comments, but in the article. As for the article, there must be some in the archived manuscript."

After Zhu Quan listened to his words, his frown gradually relaxed, but his fist was still flat on the table. "You're right. The article on the test paper must be exactly the same as the original manuscript. It's just that how should I tell the people in the Ministry of Rites? The papers for the township test were borrowed by the Procuratorate, but within a day or two, they were burned. How should I explain to them!" At the end of the speech, the originally calm tone gradually became agitated.

This is what Zhu Quan is most worried about.The papers from the Ministry of Rituals were burned at the time of the procuratorial envoy, and his face was so dull.Yao Yi didn't deal with him, if he played a book to His Majesty, he would have to recite a few books of impeachment.

After hearing his words, Ye Sirui lost his mind for a moment.When he met the saint, His Majesty said that the investigation of this case was to give an explanation to the scholars all over the world, and Zhu Quan was so worried because he didn't know how to give an explanation to the Ministry of Rites.It seems that giving an explanation is really important.It was not difficult. "The lower officials have the guts to ask, is there someone on duty at the official office after the painting every day?"

"Naturally there are gates. If we talk about inspections and guards, our yamen is not a place like Nanbei Zhen Fusi. How can we have so many people? Besides, at the feet of the emperor, the road does not pick up lost items, and the door is not closed at night. There is a need for guards."

"The lower officials know that Shuntian Mansion will send people to check the night and patrol the streets every night."

Zhu Quan frowned again instantly, "You mean...?"

Ye Sirui smiled but did not answer.

"That's right, that's right, the paper from the Ministry of Rites was burned at the Prosecutor's Office, so what does it have to do with the Prosecutor's Office? We didn't keep watch at night, and we didn't leak the news, even if the paper wasn't in the Procuratorate's office." Secretary, in the Ministry of Rites, if a big fire burns through, can it be saved? But in Shuntian Mansion, the government offices under the emperor's feet can watch it burn, I don't know what they have in mind!"

Ye Sirui saw his five fingers stretched out, beaming with joy, and also smiled lightly, "Master Zhu is indeed powerful, what he said is very reasonable, I think His Majesty will be able to see clearly and see whose responsibility it is."

Zhu Quan, who was in ecstasy, gradually lost his joy after hearing his words, and looked at him thoughtfully, "Master Ye is a good planner."

"This is Master Zhu's plan. What does it have to do with the lower officials?" Ye Sirui replied frankly. "I would also like to ask, since there are people patrolling the streets in Shuntian Mansion, has the person who set the fire been caught?"

"Not at all." Zhu Quan stared viciously at a black sandalwood ornament on the table, "I don't know what Shuntian Mansion is for, and I didn't tell the official about it." His lips moved silently, Presumably it was something that was inconvenient to say in front of him. "Sure enough, they are a bunch of useless family dudes."

He couldn't agree with that.Ye Sirui bowed his head and remained silent.

"By the way, there is another matter to ask you." Zhu Quan relaxed his sitting posture, and leaned crookedly on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed. "The other thing you wanted was done, and Li Xinghuan found it."

"Where are the others?"

Zhu Quan shook his head emotionlessly, "One step too late, already dead."

Just now there was neither joy nor sorrow, Ye Sirui, who was indifferent, almost rushed forward to urge him to finish speaking in one go. "How did you die?"

"The government reported that he hanged himself." Zhu Quan sneered, "They are ashamed to write this kind of thing on the autopsy report, but they can't hide it from us. The tongue doesn't come out, and it doesn't touch the teeth. There are scratches on the neck. Whether it was hanged or was it? If you strangle him to death, the person who brought the punishment to the procurator can't see it?"

strangled.Of the three people who went to the exam together, Wan Chengtiao hanged himself, Wan Chengyu stayed behind closed doors and studied scriptures, and Li Xinghuan was strangled to death on the way back to his hometown, pretending to hang himself.Ye Sirui also put his five fingers together into a fist, and let out a breath slowly. "Quickly interrogate Wan Chengyu!"

"Wan Chengyu? The brother of the deceased?" After explaining Li Xinghuan's whereabouts, Zhu Quan looked at the documents in front of him and replied indifferently: "Shuntian Mansion has already interrogated him, and they didn't find out why."

Ye Sirui took a few steps closer to him, "They are them, we are us, can't we make a small juren speak up?"

Zhu Quan raised his head, two clusters of flames danced in a pair of black pupils, his lingering anger remained, "What do you mean? Wan Chengyu has a reputation, so he must not be punished. You don't even know this?"

Ye Sirui's answer was completely indifferent: "Just get rid of fame."

Zhu Quan was a little impatient with his nonsense, and continued to write with his head down. "It seems that you are also crazy. If you are not charged with crimes, how can you get rid of fame? Stop messing around and go to your mission!"

"As soon as you ask about the charges, you will know!" Ye Sirui put on an air of swearing that he will not give up until he achieves his goal, "Besides, isn't there a method of punishment that other people can't detect? Once the charges are asked, who cares when the punishment is imposed? "

Zhu Quan stopped writing.Looked up at him again.It's just that the anger in his eyes has disappeared, and has become unfathomable with unknown meaning. "What on earth did you know that you insisted on interrogating that Juren, and even made an exception and sentenced him to death?"

Ye Sirui tightly closed his lips.

"If you don't want to talk about it, just act as if you didn't ask questions, but just punish people. This kind of taboo thing can never happen to the procuratorate. If you insist on going your own way, prepare yourself." He finished speaking Then, he made up his mind not to look at Ye Sirui again.Picked up a pen, dipped it in ink, and started writing. "Call the waiters outside."

There is very little time left for Ye Sirui, he can only turn his brain quickly to measure.He can still use the emperor's order to suppress people, but it may not be effective. Of course, His Majesty does not want to publicly approve the torture of Juren. Let alone scholars, civil officials will spray them to death first.But if Ye Sirui brought the person back to him for interrogation, he couldn't get around the punishment and procuratorate.Zhu Quan didn't have a romantic relationship with him, but because of the Bing County case, he probably wouldn't mind taking the opportunity to join him.Then there is no other way. "I suspect that he, like Wan Chengtiao, is a protégé by appointment."

The effect of this statement was immediate.Zhu Quan put down the pen, not only put down the pen, but also closed the official document and pushed it aside, revealing an empty space. "Is it true or false? Is there any basis? Sit down and talk slowly."

From the moment Ye Sirui entered the door, he either knelt down to plead guilty or stood with his hands down. This was the first time that Ye Sirui was treated so politely by Zhu Quan. "No need, that's all I've said. If Mr. Zhu is still unwilling, I have no other choice." He made up his mind to say that he would keep half of it, and that the Prosecutor's Office is not trustworthy, let alone Zhu Quan. .

This time, he could almost hear the sound of Zhu Quan pinching his knuckles.Zhu Quan said almost rudely: "I will consider it, get out!"

Ye Sirui exited the door.Seeing him coming out, the subordinate officials and servants all went in.Cheng Ying, who brought him here, was still standing at the door, and when he saw him coming out, she asked around anxiously, and asked in a low voice, "Master Zhu, is there anything difficult for you?"

"It's never been difficult." Ye Sirui looked at his innocent face, and the little frustration of being scolded and threatened just now dissipated. "Can you do me a favor?"

Cheng Ying saw that he was handsome and handsome, spoke kindly, and moved forward and retreated freely, so he had a good impression of him, and when he heard his request, he naturally agreed, "As long as the lower officials can do it, just mention it."

"This matter is easy to say, but we have to see if we have found the right person." Ye Sirui paused, seeing that he did not regret it, he said, "Do you have a list of officials from the Ministry of Rites who will preside over the rural examination?"
