Chapter 538: Watermelon
"I thought of letting you go sleep with him?" Erhei still admires this shameless couple, and can do anything in order to climb up.
"My mother is not as beautiful as a fairy, my husband couldn't even enter the door of the Zhenfu Division at that time, and he didn't have a chance to do this." Hou laughed at himself: "My husband thought about it and started the idea of the Zhang family's heirloom......"
"The Zhang family still has family heirlooms?"
"Although the Zhang family has not seen any success, but my old woman was originally in the palace of the former dynasty, and later Emperor Hongwu raised troops and drove away the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and my old woman escaped from the palace and smuggled a baby out. Originally, I wanted to sell it and buy a house and land to live after I got married. But my husband is a knowledgeable person, and he said that this thing is priceless, and if people see it, it will lead to death. It is that the two of them have been hiding this treasure and have never shown it, and then the two elders died of illness one after another, so they passed the treasure to my father-in-law, and after my father-in-law died, it was kept by my mother-in-law. I and my family, and my father-in-law before he died, only learned that there was such a treasure in the family. At that time, my father-in-law repeatedly told me not to let outsiders know that there was such a thing at home......"
"What the hell is it?" Erhei asked curiously.
"Watermelon ......"
"Palm!" Erhei glared at her and said.
"Don't fight, it's really a watermelon, it's just a whole piece of jade carved, the skin is jasper, and the inside is red jade......" Hou Shi said: "It's so big!" ”
"Scared." Erhei opened his mouth and said, "That's worth a lot." ”
"Of course." Hou Shi said a little proudly: "My husband later gave this watermelon to Li Chun, not only became an official brocade guard, but also became a hundred households, do you say it is worth it?" ”
"Isn't your father-in-law not letting people know the truth?" Erhei asked knowingly.
"The one in my house said that hidden treasures are no different from stones." Hou said: "I wanted to sacrifice the watermelon, but my mother-in-law did not agree, and then one night, while my mother-in-law was sleeping, he secretly rummaged through the cabinet and found the jasper watermelon!" Who would have thought that at this time, my mother-in-law was awakened, and when she saw that the heirloom had been stolen by her son, she was angry, so she chased after her, caught up with my husband in the alley, and dragged her back desperately. My husband and mother-in-law fought for a while, but they couldn't get rid of it. At this time, listening to the movement of the neighbors, afraid of being bumped into, he took out the dagger pinned to his waist and stabbed him three times, and my mother-in-law finally let go. He hurriedly ran away with the jasper watermelon, and when he ran to the lake, he threw the dagger into the lake. ”
"He walked around outside, but he came home again, and asked me to quickly pack up my things and go back to my parents' house. I actually followed behind and saw that he had killed someone, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to ask more, so I quickly packed up my baggage and left. Later, a few months later, the news subsided, and my husband went to my mother's house to pick me up, saying that the case had been solved, and that my mother-in-law was a murderer named Qi Dazhu, and the person had been escorted to the execution ground to be killed. I don't dare to tell him, I actually saw people killed by him...... "Hou Shi Zhilu said that her husband can't get out of bed in this life, and she is going to be thrown into prison by Li Chun, a ruthless person, and she is also dead or alive, and there is only one thought in her heart, that is, to drag Li Chun to hell, and he said without concealment:
"I didn't dare to live with this murderer again, but he said that now that he is a Jinyi guard, he can eat and drink spicy food with him, so I will follow him back." Hou Shi said very calmly: "It is true that two years have passed, in the past two years, Li Chun has also been promoted from a thousand households to a deputy Zhenfu, I heard that he is about to be promoted to Zhenfu, and the spring breeze is proud," said with a sneer: "My family said that the reason why he rose so fast was actually because he dedicated the jasper watermelon to Ji Dudu!" ”
"Hmm." Erhei nodded, thinking about it, the case was in a uproar back then, although in the end he did not admit the existence of jasper watermelon on the surface, but Li Chun could not dare to hide his secrets, and he would definitely sacrifice that treasure.
"However......" The Hou family now hates Li Chun to death, as long as it can harm him, he will definitely not show mercy: "My family said that the jasper watermelon actually has a pair, with Li Chun's greed for money, he must only offer one and hide the other." ”
"Hmm." Erhei asked again, and when he saw that there was nothing new, he nodded, asked the clerk to come forward with a confession, and said to the Hou family: "Let's draw a charge." ”
"I can't write." Hou was embarrassed.
"Then press the mudra." Erheidao: "It's the same with each one pressed on the handprint." ”
"Then I won't press the ......" poured out everything that happened, and the evil fire in Hou's heart was extinguished a lot, and his mind returned to clarity, and he found that something was wrong.
How could Erhei make her react, and said in a deep voice: "You are stupid, right, if you press your handprint, you will be the hero of the report and expose Li Chun, and you will be spared from prison, and you will not even copy your house, so that you can go back and continue to live your Kuotai life." ”
"Really?" Hou heard that he didn't have to go to prison and could keep his family property, so he couldn't control it a lot, so according to what Erhei said, he pressed his handprint on it.
"Can I go?" The more Hou thought about it, the more he felt that he seemed to have done something stupid, and asked timidly.
"Of course." Erhei grinned and said, "But it is estimated that if you go out of the gate of the Zhenfu Division with your front foot, you will be corpsed on the street with your back foot." ”
"Scared ......" Hou Shi said with a pale face in fright: "Who wants to kill me, Li Chun?" ”
"Huh." Erhei smiled noncommittally: "If you don't want to die, just stay in the Zhenfu Division first, and then go back when the rumor passes." Seeing Hou's frightened face, Erhei laughed and said, "The Zhenfu Division is not only the ...... of the edict."
Hou ...... relieved.
In addition to the edicts, there are also some courtyards under high walls, which are used by dignitaries who have not yet been convicted, as well as important witnesses. Erhei asked people to take the Hou family over to settle down, and take care of it, and then saw Wang Xian turn out from behind the screen, and looked at himself with a smile and said: "Yes, there is growth, you can take charge of yourself." ”
"It's not enough, the adults have won the prize." Erhei grinned, hurriedly put the confession with both hands, and said as if to invite merit: "My lord, do you think this is useful?" ”
"Of course it works!" Wang Xian listened to the whole process, so naturally he didn't need to look at it anymore, and said with a loud smile: "From now on, the initiative is in our hands!" He said in a deep voice: "Prepare the horse!" ”
"Yes!" Zhou Yong saw that Wang Xian was so excited, and knew that Lord Lu Dao was already in his chest, and his expression was also lifted, and he immediately ordered someone to bring a snow-white high-headed war horse from the stable.
"Go to the criminal department!" Wang Xian turned over his horse and went straight to the noon gate......
The layout of the capital is according to the traditional capital city regulations, which is divided into the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city and the palace city from the outside to the inside. The imperial city and the palace city are collectively called the imperial palace, symbolizing the supreme and sacred rights of the Ming Dynasty. The innermost palace is naturally the place where the emperor lives and deals with government affairs, the main gate of the palace is the noon gate, and on both sides of the royal street in front of the noon gate, it is the official office of all the ministries except the three law divisions.
Therefore, the central yamen of the Ming Dynasty was all located outside the palace gate, except for two departments, one was the six departments and the other was the cabinet, which worked in the noon gate and in the Forbidden City, and the latter was the emperor's secretarial body, which was easy to understand. The former is just a seven-grade yamen, but it can also be a director in the Forbidden City, which shows the weight of its power and its transcendent status in the Ming Dynasty.
The so-called six departments correspond to the six departments of the imperial court, the criminal department and the criminal department are docked, and the officials department and the officials are docked. Its chief is six of them, all of whom are given to the middle of the matter, and all of them are given to the left and right of the middle of the matter, and there are also several names in the matter. All of them are given to the officials in the matter but the seven grades, but the authority is extremely heavy, and they are in charge of the six departments of attendants, regulations, supplements, relics, and inspections. One of the most powerful rights is 'sealing and refutation', where the edict is proclaimed, the major events are repeated, and the small matters are issued; Where the internal and external chapters are sparse, classified and copied, and signed by the Ministry of Payment, and their violations are refuted.
That is to say, all the edicts issued by the emperor must go through the hands of the six branches, and if the six departments think that the emperor's will is improper, they can be sealed, and they can directly reject the violation of the decrees of the hundred officials of the imperial court.
Moreover, each section has great procuratorial power over the part it is responsible for, and all major and minor matters in the ministry must be reported to the six sections for supervision, and if there is any violation, it will be impeached in the matter. The errands assigned by the emperor to the various ministries were also supervised by the six sections, and if they were overdue, they would also be impeached. Therefore, the six branches are actually in the hands of the eyes and ears of the emperor to supervise the hundred officials, and the authority is beyond imagination.
It is precisely because of this that when the official system was originally designed, Emperor Taizu deliberately set the grade of the six subjects extremely low, in order to prevent the six subjects from becoming bigger, surpassing the six departments, and becoming a big tail. Although there is a lot of power in this way, it is only seven grades, and when facing the second grade, you still have to maintain respect. And the high-ranking officials of the ministry also have to be honored to give the "section chief" in the matter, forming a balance of power constraints, which shows the wisdom of Emperor Taizu's power.
What Wang Xian is going to is the Criminal Division. Because in addition to directly supervising the Criminal Department, the Criminal Division was even given the power to restrain the North Town Fu Division. The ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, the brocade clothes and guards arrest people, they must be sent by the driver's post, and they must be approved by the criminal department before they dare to act. In other words, Jinyiwei did not have the power to directly arrest people, and he had to be granted a driving post by the emperor before he could act. Moreover, it is not enough to have a driving sticker, and the reason for taking personnel must also be 'signed' by the criminal department during the matter, and a detailed approval document can be signed before taking the person.
In his later years, Emperor Taizu felt the harm of spy politics and specially formulated it to restrain future emperors. However, although Zhu Di is under the banner of restoring the ancestral system, how can he let his minions be subject to a few nonsense words from his Lao Tzu?
If that were the case, Zhu Di would not have taken over the country with the emperor he had set up. Therefore, this ancestral system has already been destroyed. Of course, on the surface, it was Na Ji Gang who acted recklessly, ignored the laws of his ancestors, and dared to bypass the criminal department and arrest people indiscriminately...... In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Ji Dudu is carrying a black pot for the emperor.
