Chapter 397 The means of the Ministry of Punishment
Fengtian Palace was very quiet, Kaiji stepped out respectfully, lowered his head slightly and replied: "I feel that it is my glory to investigate the case with Your Majesty. I will defend the majesty of my Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Biao stood beside him and heard the news that the Jinyiwei said that the Ministry of Justice had money to buy and sell clean new and old prison cells and food, but there was no certain evidence.
It has to be said that this time, the people blocked the road and made a big mistake, which attracted Lao Zhu's attention.
Emperor Zhu blinked at Zhu Biao and signaled Zhu Biao to continue asking.
It made me feel hot again... Zhu Biao cleared his throat and spoke, "Kai Ji, as far as I know, the Ministry of Justice uses money to buy punishment and prison. Can you guarantee that this has never happened?"
"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, I have never heard of a prisoner who has been killed and convicted of being able to go out of the prison."
"Report to Your Highness, Kaiji cannot guarantee that he has never been there. It is better to believe that he has it than to believe that he has it. Since there is any doubt, please give me time and I will investigate the matter clearly."
Kaiji has no idea.
Someone once hinted about Liu Xiong that he gave away money, but he refused. The prison was under the jurisdiction of the head of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Justice, and the prison guards and coroners and prison doctors were the following.
On weekdays, I only have major cases to personally investigate, and the rest are reported from the bottom.
There must be dirt and dirt hidden.
All the officials were surprised. The Ministry of Justice is not an ordinary yamen, and it is possible to buy life.
Hu Weiyong turned his head and felt a little strange when he saw Chen Ning with a pale face and sweating. But he didn't know how to ask, and he never said anything.
Zhu Biao glanced at the ministers and saw Chen Ning's face pale face when he saw him bowing his head slightly, and he felt very strange and curious.
If the Ministry of Justice is in the capital, if there is any problem, I am afraid that all the officials in the court will be involved, not small fish and shrimp.
Therefore, Zhu Biao did not force Kaiji to clarify the affairs of the Ministry of Justice's prison at one time, and this matter needs time to be investigated.
Emperor Zhu personally went to investigate, and the officials felt deep pressure.
If you have something to report, you will leave the court without anything to do.
All officials were bustling down the steps, and Kaiji was like being roasted on fire, and he rushed to the Ministry of Justice with restlessness.
"Kai Shangshu." Chen Ning, the censor, shouted behind him: "Wait for me and go together."
The sun shines the hall behind the officials, magnificent, and the three big characters Fengtian Hall shine brightly.
Chen Ning was so weird. He was talking about the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. What could he shake? It was impossible for him to rush to urinate. Zhu Biao stood at the gate of the hall and observed the figures of all officials.
The Censor Han Yike once said that when Chen Ning was doing things every day, he would slimly hold the purple clay teapot with one hand, and he would also leave the work to other people. On weekdays, he would open his mouth and say something that Lao Zhu liked to listen to.
These and Tu Jie are the extra branches and can only absorb nutrients.
In contrast, Kaiji was very talented in doing things, so Lao Zhu promoted him to the Minister of Justice and managed the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
"Biao'er, have you been to the Ministry of Justice Prison?"
Emperor Zhu's face was calm, leaning against the white stone railing with dragon-shaped patterns, tickling himself with one hand behind his back.
"The last time I tried Sun Xuan, I went to the Ministry of Justice. There was no major prison." Zhu Biao said truthfully.
He rarely goes to the place of Dazhu. After all, he has too much trouble every day, so whoever is bored will go there.
"You have to go, you have to go often. The dirtiest place in the imperial court can be seen in the imperial court. It is a place where corruption and evil deeds grow." Emperor Zhu said as he stood up straight and stretched his waist: "Let's go with us to the Ministry of Justice Prison."
It seems that today's lunch cannot be eaten in the palace. It's good, if I eat it in the palace, I don't know which fish to eat with.
Sure enough, if there are too many women, it will affect my enjoyment of eating, so it is better to go to the Ministry of Justice to torture people.
These days, Emperor Zhu took the initiative to take Zhu Biao to walk around, and became more active with civil servants and learned a lot.
As long as people who are not blind know that this is His Majesty’s intentional training of the prince.
Ministry of Justice.
Kai Ji sat in the yamen, and the herbal tea next to him was chilled, which was cool and comfortable. However, when he looked at the two subordinates in front of him, he always felt a little uneasy.
Since yesterday when he heard that a commoner stopped the prince to welcome the bride and said he had sued the Ministry of Justice, he was very nervous.
In the morning court this morning, His Majesty and His Royal Highness only discussed this matter and sued the Ministry of Justice.
After all, Your Majesty did not blame him, but when he came on stage in person, he still had great doubts about him and the Ministry of Justice, and his heart was on fire.
Just so happened that the head of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Justice sat down leisurely, drinking iced tea, which was even bigger than his own airs.
Kaiji directly pointed out that the Ministry of Justice’s case about Liu Xiong was really a sudden illness, or that someone took bribes and released the death row prisoner.
"Tell me the truth, whether you two have done anything wrong with Liu Xiong's affairs is related to your and my destiny." Kaiji took off his black hat and placed it on the table.
"Kai Shangshu, we two worked diligently and diligently for the Ministry of Justice. We never dared to do such things as corruption and bribery, and to go to the back door for criminals. Please check it out clearly."
"We have checked it myself. Liu Xiong did die of sudden illness at that time. Perhaps it was because Liu Xiong's father Liu Shao who had money, so Zhang Fuxing wanted to blackmail."
Kai Ji looked at the expressions of the two, thinking that they might not have lie. It was the common man named Zhang Fuxing who was so angry that his son was so angry that he sucked him.
"This morning, the people who complained said that the jailer told him about this matter, but he promised that the jailer of the Ministry of Justice would not tell him. You can go down and check it carefully to see if Liu Xiong died or fake death. Then I will go to the palace to give His Majesty an explanation."
"I will investigate this matter. I hope you two will report it truthfully. After all, no ordinary people dare to run to Fengtian Palace, just to slander and blackmail."
Kai Ji stood up: "I asked you again for the last time, is there any such thing?"
The head of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of Justice hurriedly replied to Kaiji: "There is absolutely nothing."
"Okay, let's believe you. If something goes wrong, you will have to move your head." Kaiji said and left.
Behind him, Ke Hang, the head of the Ministry of Justice, and Wei Jiang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, looked at each other and his face became ugly.
"This matter is done perfectly. Who leaked the news? Who knew about Liu Xiong at that time? Who found out who leaked it? Check who leaked it and deal with it immediately after finding it." Wei Jiang, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, made a gesture of slashing his neck.
The Minister of Justice and the Chief of Justice had murderous intentions in their eyes. As long as they could ensure that they could overcome this difficulty, it would be easy to kill several jailers.
Ministry of Justice Prison.
"Some people say that our prison is the eighteenth level of hell on earth. It's nonsense that we are blood-sucking ghosts. This is obviously nonsense."
"We are accompanying them, the group of people who are slaughtering their lives, and eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating every day, so why don't we worry about it?"
The two of them were wearing blue soap official clothes, with painted cloth official on their heads and white black-faced cloth boots under their feet.
It is the prison guard who is on duty today.
"Master, can you give me a bowl of water?" An old man's voice came from the innermost prison.
"Drink water? Ten cents." The jailer who spoke then turned his head: "Damn, the waiter in the restaurant serves tea and water, and his legs and feet. Let's serve these grandchildren, it's useless."
The two complained, and suddenly a prisoner came over to inform: "Your Majesty and the prince have already arrived at the criminal department. They asked these prisoners to keep their mouths tightly. Who would dare to talk nonsense and kill him tonight."
The prison suddenly became quiet. The Emperor came down and had to pretend. After this point, everything was easy to do.
