Cannot attack objects

When Zhong Shao came to Dali Temple on foot, a moment later than usual, Dali Temple Qing's car drove to Hou Ya, and he did not go with her, so he had disappeared long ago.However, because of the early court, Zhong Shao would never be on time like other officials at the same level, so it was fine if he was a little late, and no one would come to ask him.

Carrying the certificate that was most likely to be a hot potato, Zhong Shao hurried to his room when he arrived at Dali Temple.Afterwards, she washed the blood off her hands, changed into the official robes of Dali Temple, and then took out the blood-stained paper and looked at it.

Holding the pleading paper for a few glances, Zhong Shao frowned, and when he finally finished reading it, his face really showed embarrassment—the case written on the pleading paper was not as appalling as Zhong Shao imagined, but the More than one life was involved, it is indeed a serious case.But it was the people involved in this case who really made Zhong Shao difficult!

After thinking about it, Zhong Shao didn't dare to act lightly, so he sent someone to summon Cui Pingshi who had only met yesterday.

Cui Pingshi still had the rigid face yesterday, but he looked at Zhong Shao with a little impatience. After bowing his hands and saluting, he asked, "Master Sizheng summoned the officials here today. I don't know what's the matter?" something important?"

The state of Liang has only been established for twenty or thirty years. Although Emperor Taiping was an incomprehensible person, the great foundation created by the previous emperor has not yet been defeated. The current administration of officials is not clear, but it is not yet time for serious failure.Dali Temple was in charge of prison litigation, and most of them were rigorous and upright people during the period. Naturally, they couldn't understand Zhong Shao, a yellow-mouthed child who was directly transferred to Dali Temple by his connections.

Zhong Shao had just finished filling in all kinds of laws and regulations of the Liang Kingdom, and had never tried a serious case. Naturally, he didn't have the slightest bit of self-respect when facing these old people from Dali Temple.She ignored the impatience in Cui Pingshi's eyes, and only handed the pleading paper at hand to him, and at the same time said in a good-tempered manner: "I received a case today, and I have some difficulties, and I would like to ask Mr. Cui for advice. "

Cui Pingshi was taken aback when he heard this, then frowned when he saw the pleading paper handed over by Zhong Shao, and at the same time reminded him: "My lord, most of the cases tried in Dali Temple are handed over by the state government or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. For cases that happened within the capital, the pleadings should be handed over to the Anyang government for disposal. When it comes to serious cases, the Anyang government has no right to handle them, and then submit them to Dali Temple. My lord directly accepts the pleadings, but it’s overstepped.”

These words were merciless, even with some accusations, but Zhong Shao naturally knew that Cui Pingshi's reminder was good intentions.She raised her hand to caress her forehead, and said helplessly: "Someone blocked the road and complained, I didn't want to pay attention to it, but that person directly bumped into my carriage." She said, seeing Cui Pingshi frowned, As if he wanted to say something more, he said again: "The Lord Siqing was also there at the time. He asked me to pick it up after he read the pleadings."

After moving out of Dali Siqing, Zhong Shao finally blocked Cui Pingshi's mouth, he didn't say anything, still frowning, he took the pleading paper Zhong Shao handed over with both hands.After unfolding it, he only glanced at it twice, and the wrinkles between his brows deepened a lot. After reading the pleadings for a long time, he looked up at Zhong Shao and asked, "This case may involve a lot. Your Excellency really wants to accept it?"

To be honest, Zhong Shao didn't want to take care of this case at all, a case that Anyang Mansion dared not accept, how could it be so simple?But the pleading paper had already been handed over, and Dali Siqing spoke up in person, so how could she refuse?Unless she just came here, she doesn't want to hang out in Dali Temple!

Closing his eyes a little irritatedly, Zhong Shao said: "The case has already been handed in, so we can't ignore it. It's just that there are a lot of things involved in it. I'm new here... I'd like to ask Mr. Cui to raise something."

Cui Pingshi looked at Zhong Shao, and probably saw her embarrassment and reluctance, but Dali Temple always tried important cases, and there were cases involving important people, so he was not surprised.So he didn't say anything, and opened his mouth and said: "The defendant in this case is Shi Wanglu, the chief of Prince Rui's house. It is more likely that King Rui and the Wang family will be involved behind him. I'm afraid he can't be arrested easily. Your lord can send someone to collect evidence first."

King Rui is the current second prince, he is two years younger than the prince, and now he has left the palace to build a mansion.As for Wang Lu, he is the second son of Wang Zhe, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he is also the companion of King Rui. After King Rui left the palace to build a mansion, he followed King Rui to become an official of the palace.

The case was actually simple and clear. Wang Luqiang robbed a civilian girl, who was the only daughter of the head of a school in the suburbs of Beijing.The woman was so violent that she hit the wall and died that day. The head of the mountain will naturally come to complain when she finds out.Although he is only a teacher, there are also Tao Li who are officials in Beijing under his sect. If there is a trouble, there must be a lot of trouble, so Wang Lu simply does not do anything, and leads people to destroy the mountain full of sects at night!

It was a student of Shanzhang who came to sue. He lived in Shanzhang's house because of his poor family because of his studiousness.Later, he was grateful to his teacher for going to Beijing to file a lawsuit, but he didn't know why he didn't get help from his colleagues, and the pleading paper couldn't even be delivered to Anyang Mansion, so he went directly to stop the car of the officials of Dali Temple.

Wang Lu, a small prince of the palace, is naturally nothing in Anyang where the rich and powerful are everywhere, even his father who is a servant is not a very dreadful figure.The crux of the problem is that what he did was initially to rob people's daughters, and everyone in the government and the public knew that Emperor Taiping was very beautiful, and his sons looked like a gentleman except for the prince, and the other sons were all similar to their father—— One is more lustful than the other!

Zhong Shao took the pleading paper and guessed at a glance that the daughter of the mountain chief was probably sent to Ruiwang's mansion by Wang Lu!As for the matter involving the prince, the involvement is too great. Even the second prince, who has been severely suppressed by the prince, has the power of his mother's family in the court, and she is not something she can easily move.

She raised her eyes to look at Cui Pingshi, and saw that he had an ordinary face, but Zhong Shao felt depressed. She thought for a while and then asked: "This case has no evidence, and now there is only this pleading paper, can you please The Ministry of Punishment will verify it on your behalf?"

Cui Pingshi shook his head and said, "This case has already been tried in Dali Temple, and it was not handed over by the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Naturally, it can no longer be handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

It seems that there is no way to drag her into the water, Zhong Shao can't help but wonder if the Si Qing who let her stand for trial thinks she is not pleasing to the eye, or has a grudge against her, such a trick!She had no choice but to ask Cui Pingshi directly: "Master Cui, I think you also understand that this case may involve King Rui, let me wait...do you really want to try the prince?!"

Dali Temple has always been responsible for official inquiries. Dali Temple has always done things that offend people, so it is not surprising that newcomers hesitate to move forward when encountering such cases.Cui Pingshi knew Zhong Shao's concerns, but without raising his eyelids, he dropped a sentence: "The prince broke the law. Dali Temple has no right to try it without receiving the imperial edict. You can submit it to heaven for hearing."

"..." So I still need to investigate the case, I still need to find evidence, and I still need to do things that offend people?

Zhong Shao felt deeply tired, she sighed, and simply said: "Since that's the case, let Master Cui take care of this case for now."

Cui Pingshi is Zhong Shao's subordinate official, if Dali Siqing can hand over the case to her, she can naturally hand over the case to Cui Pingshi for disposal.After all, when it comes to the experience of investigating and adjudicating cases, Cui Pingshi can beat her by ten blocks.It's just like the case in Suzhou, it's her credit for the investigation of the case. This case offended someone, and in the end she was the one who took the blame for the hatred!

Putting away the pleadings, Cui Pingshi didn't refuse, he bowed his hands and complied: "The next official takes orders."

Zhong Shao nodded, and just wanted him to step down, but after thinking about it, he felt that he was blamed, and he couldn't learn anything.So he changed his mind again, and said to Cui Pingshi: "My qualifications are still young, and I know very little about investigating cases. This time, I would like to ask Mr. Cui to enlighten me."

After hearing this, Cui Pingshi finally looked at Zhong Shao squarely for a while, and nodded in agreement.Afterwards, he probably felt that Zhong Shao’s attitude was humble enough, he knew how to ask for advice, and there was a sign of staying in Dali Temple. After all, he said one more thing: “My lord, don’t think that the Siqing lord is embarrassing you by entrusting this case to you. , Our Dali Temple has always been a place to offend people. If you hide when you encounter powerful people, the case will not be investigated. If you want to stay in Dali Temple, you will always have to go through this experience. If you are not prepared It's a different matter to stay..."

Zhong Shao was also speechless after this rephrasing.Actually, she's pretty good like this, isn't she?At least she has two backers, Princess Chang and Concubine Yu Gui, behind her. She can still offend ordinary people. Even if he offends King Rui, he can't easily do anything to her.As for the ordinary officials in Dali Temple, it would be even more embarrassing for them to do such offending things in order to investigate the case.

Slightly calming down, Zhong Shao stood up and bowed to Cui Pingshi, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Master Cui, for your enlightenment."

Cui Pingshi has also been an official in Dali Temple for more than ten years. He has seen all kinds of people and things, so he still looks like an old well without waves.He bowed slightly and bowed back, and said, "Your Excellency, you are welcome. If there is nothing wrong, I will arrange manpower to investigate the case."

Naturally, Zhong Shao would not stop her, so after thinking about it, she simply followed her—she had been here in Dali Temple for more than three months, and spent almost every day in the numbered room reading books and official documents, but the real investigation and trial was It didn't even stick to the edges.She really asked her to investigate the case, and she might not even be able to find someone to investigate the case. At this time, she naturally wanted to go with Cui Pingshi, at least to be able to identify the person.

Cui Pingshi did not refuse, and led Zhong Shao out.Afterwards, Cui Pingshi did not avoid her when she asked about the plaintiff, arranging manpower, investigating and collecting evidence, etc., but rather taught her.

The people of Dali Temple were quite desperate to investigate the case.Since Zhong Shao handed over the pleading paper to Cui Pingshi, he led her to the medical clinic to inquire about the plaintiff, then went to the residence of Na Shanchang in the suburbs of Beijing to collect evidence, and then investigated the matter of Wang Luqiang's robbery of a civilian girl...

After running around all day, the progress of the case was normal. If Zhong Shao hadn't practiced martial arts for many years, he would have been so tired that his back would ache, but Cui Pingshi still looked like a normal person. There is no intention of calling it a day.

On this day, when Zhong Shao returned home, it was dusk and the moon was already high in the sky.
