After Yang Pu told his officials to seal the case of the Ministry of Justice, he looked at Fang Xiaoru and said in a kind tone,
"Master Fang, isn't this a coincidence? I happened to be thinking of going down and taking a look. We thought of going together! If you don't mind, sir, why don't we go together?"
Fang Xiaoru smiled and nodded.
"That's very good."
Yang Pu found Bao Zhao at a glance and ordered,
"Master Bao, lead the way."
"Yes, sir."
Although I don’t know what kind of medicine these two adults are selling, the current situation is that people under the eaves have to bow their heads.
When the big tree behind Bao Zhao fell down, he could only follow the celebrities around His Majesty.
Speaking of which, Bao Zhao had long been interested in getting close to Sheng Sun because of the previous childbirth case. However, his immediate boss Zhan Hui told him to be calm, so he delayed it until now.
Zhan Hui's downfall is not a good thing for Bao Zhao at the moment, but in the long run, whether it will be good or bad, I really can't tell.
Bao Zhao took the lead, leading the way,
"Please, three adults."
In addition to Fang Xiaoru and Yang Pu, Jiang Yu naturally had to follow them. Both of them were literati who had no power to restrain chickens, and they had to be protected by senior officials.
The Ministry of Punishment is in the outer palace, while the Imperial Prison is in the opposite direction of Yingtian Mansion. The euphemistic name is that it is such a dirty place that one cannot rush to the palace.
But in terms of business matters alone, the Ministry of Punishment and the Imperial Prison are located in Dadongtou and the other in Daxitou, which are completely incompatible!
Fang Xiaoru and Yang Pu were riding in the same car together. Fang Xiaoru was the first to speak, shaking his head and saying,
"Master Yang, you see, the Criminal Department is responsible for interrogating prisoners, but these two places are completely unrelated..."
Yang Pu's eyes flashed, and he was not in a hurry to respond to Fang Xiaoru's overtures.
Fang Xiaoru smiled and continued,
"Master Yang, I took office a few days before you, and when His Majesty appointed me as the Ministry of Punishment to Shizhong, he told me that he wanted me to get things done in the Ministry of Punishment.
Presumably, His Majesty also told you the same thing? "
Yang Pu nodded and said,
"His Majesty told me today that he wants me to reform the Ministry of Punishments."
Fang Xiaoru paused after hearing this, "Your Majesty was much more straightforward with you than I was. Zhan Hui fell suddenly...
Your Majesty first came to see me, and now he comes to you. In the final analysis, it is all about the Ministry of Punishment, so we are not enemies.
It should be colleagues who have reached the same goal through different paths. "
Yang Pu was a cautious person, but he still did not choose to dig into his heart and treat Fang Xiaoru sincerely.
Fang Xiaoru and Yang Pu were originally sitting opposite each other in the carriage. Fang Xiaoru bent down and stood up, moved to Yang Pu's side, put his hand on Yang Pu's hand, and said sincerely,
"Master Yang, do you have any concerns about what I am doing today?"
Yang Pu didn't nod or shake his head.
Fang Xiaoru laughed, turned slightly to one side, and said in a low voice,
"Master Yang, in fact, everything I did today was all for you!"
After saying that, Fang Xiaoru glanced at Yang Pu enviously.
"for me?"
"Yes, some people are worried that your new official will not be able to control the old fools like the Ministry of Justice, so they asked me to destroy their prestige first.
However, after seeing Mr. Yang's move just now, I realized that this was an unnecessary move. "
Yang Pu was stunned.
He never thought that Fang Xiaoru's trouble in the Ministry of Justice today was all for himself.
Afterwards, Yang Pu thought about it carefully and believed 70% of what Fang Xiaoru said.
Fang Xiaoru saw that the guard in Yang Pu's eyes was gradually weakening, so she approached him and said,
"I guess you know who it is."
Yang Pu's eyes flashed with emotion.
Fang Xiaoru could not move Jiang Gu, but he could use both Fang Xiaoru and Jiang Gu to support the show. Who else could be there besides His Majesty?
Fang Xiaoru patted Yang Pu's hand.
"Brother Yang, His Majesty has very high expectations for you, so you must do your best."
"Alas," Yang Pu sighed, "how can I be so virtuous and capable of being so unworthy of His Majesty's great kindness?"
Fang Xiaoru's eyes flashed,
"Isn't this an opportunity to repay the favor? The most important thing now is to handle the affairs of the Ministry of Justice for His Majesty."
"Um!"
The two had a frank conversation on the carriage, and Yang Pu also repeated Yang Shiqi's words.
After hearing this, Fang Xiaoru looked a little depressed and said,
"Shilang Yang hit the nail on the head,
This is ultimately the case with the Ministry of Punishment.
If this is the case in the capital, how can it be better locally?
All matters in the Criminal Department are laid one on top of the other until the very end. Instead, the most important work is placed on the jailer with the lowest salary rank.
If you want to pull out a thread, you have to start from this prison! "
As he said that, the carriage paused, and a loud sound came from outside the carriage,
"Two adults, here we are."
Yang Pu and Fang Xiaoru looked at each other, got up and got out of the car.
As soon as I got off the car, a burst of Yin Qi hit my face. This Yin Qi seemed to have substance, with a bone-chilling chill.
Jiang Wei came over and whispered,
"In a place like this, resentment and evil spirits are very strong. If you are weak, you will easily become seriously ill.
Brother Fang, Brother Yang, how about I go down there by myself? If there is any situation, I will report it to you truthfully. "
Jiang Wei is an old spy. When the Jin Yiwei used to lynch prisoners, he had more fun than the jailers.
"Master Jiang, thank you for your kindness, but we'd better go down in person."
Jiang Wei knew that the scholars were very reluctant, so he nodded when he heard this, and without any further words, he prepared to follow along.
Jiang Wei was the first to clear the way, and Bao Zhao followed at the end. The two scholars were caught in the middle.
Jiang Wei and Bao Zhao had collaborated on the Caisheng case. Although the two of them had never said a word from just now to now, they still had the tacit understanding they should have.
The Ming Dynasty Imperial Prison was a veritable dungeon. The entire building structure was dug underground. It was damp and cold, so you had to walk down a staircase first.
As soon as Yang Pu got in, the laughter of playing cards could be heard in his ears.
When the four of them walked in, the guards in the imperial prison didn't even react.
These jailers were drinking and playing cards. They looked very cool.
"Ahem!"
Jiang Wei showed displeasure and couldn't help coughing twice. Then, there was silence in the prison, and four people appeared out of thin air. The jailers felt an electric current rushing down the soles of their feet to their hair.
Swish, there was a sound of drawing a sword,
"How brave! Take them down!"
Jiang Wei knocked down the two people in front of him and shouted,
"Attacking officials of the government, are you willing to kill yourself?!"
"Fuck you, you broke into the imperial prison without permission, no official is of any use to you!"
These jailers stepped forward with fierce force and came to the front so that their faces could be clearly illuminated by the weak firelight, and shouted,
"Scarface, don't you know me?!"
The leading jailer squinted his eyes, then quickly put on a flattering smile and stepped forward to greet him.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Bao? Brothers, take it, take it!"
Bao Zhao turned his back to Fang Xiaoru and others, and winked at Scarface. Scarface complained in his heart, how come there is a random inspection by the leaders in this damn place? !
