The so-called three law divisions refer to Yushitai, Xingbu and Dali Temple.
It's just that the functions of various yamen in this era are not as clear as in the other world, and there will be duplication or confusion of functions.
For example, in theory, corruption cases can be dealt with by the three judicial divisions.
Of course, there is no need to say more about Dali Temple. The Ministry of Punishment controls the laws of the world and can also investigate corruption. As for the Yushitai...
The governors of various provinces are nominally officials of the Yushitai!
Although the Yushitai only has the power to supervise and report matters based on rumors, the supervisory censors sent by the Yushitai to local areas can make decisions on major matters and make decisions on minor matters!
These eight words can be fatal.
Some seventh-grade supervisory censors would be worshiped as Bodhisattvas by local officials when they arrived at the local level.
And a large part of corruption is mostly investigated by the Yushitai.
If the imperial court sent a censor down to investigate corruption in a certain place, then the local officials would deal with it. Ask the censor to go to a restaurant to pick up girls, and put in some money, maybe he can deal with it.
The three judicial departments will jointly handle the case!
Then there is basically no possibility of coping with it!
Therefore, upon hearing the words "Sanfa Si Ban Eucalyptus", almost all the Fujian officials in the private room on the second floor of Mingxiang Building shuddered, especially Fuzhou Magistrate Du Zhong who was called by name. He kept swaying, trying hard to stop his hands from shaking, then stiffly raised his head and looked at Sun Fu aside, but his voice couldn't help but tremble.
"Yuan...Yuan Tu Gong..."
After hearing this, Sun Fu silently left the table and walked to the corner. Eucommia ulmoides quickly followed and stood behind him, groveling.
Sun Futai closed his eyes and exhaled a breath.
"Zhongping."
Eucommia ulmoides, also known as Zhongping.
Sun Shangshu's tone was also full of helplessness: "I have been transferred to the Ministry of Works this time, and I haven't taken up the post yet. I have been in the local area for these years. Although I know a few officials of the Sanfa Division in the imperial court, it is obvious that the Sanfa Division came to Fuzhou together. From the emperor."
"You must cooperate with the imperial court."
Sun Fu patted his shoulder and said with a serious face: "Zhongping, don't worry. If an official of your level wants to be convicted, he must be sent to the capital first. I will leave Fuzhou tomorrow and rush to Jiankang to help you. I The carriages and horses are faster, I must have arrived before you arrive in Jiankang."
"I am in Beijing, and I have many of my fellow villagers of the same age. Now I recognize two of the five husband-in-laws in Zhongshu. You..."
He patted Du Zhong on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "You can cooperate with the officials of the Sanfa Department with peace of mind. Say what you should say and don't say what you shouldn't."
Du Zhong swallowed, lowered his head and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Yuantu, I know what to say and what not to say..."
"Zhongping, don't get me wrong."
Sun Fu sighed and said, "Since I have been transferred to Jiankang, this matter in Fujian has nothing to do with me. What you say is irrelevant to me. The main thing is to protect yourself."
"We have worked hard for more than ten or twenty years, and we cannot just turn it into smoke and dust."
Du Zhong burst into tears of gratitude, lowered his head and said: "Thank you so much, Mr. Yuan Tu, thank you so much, Mr. Yuan Tu!"
While the two people were talking, there was another rapid knock on the door.
"The Three Laws Division is in charge!"
Sun Fu frowned, walked to the door, and opened the door.
There were two men standing at the door. Behind the two men was a scholar in robes. He looked about forty years old.
When the scholar saw the door open and saw an old man coming out, he recognized it first, then smiled and said, "But Sun Yuantu, Sun Shaobao, the new minister?"
Sun Fu walked out silently, cupped his hands and said, "I'm Sun Fu, who is your Excellency?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile: "Young people like Shaobao often forget things and don't remember to get down."
"Xiaguan Yuan Tan, Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
The young minister of Dali Temple is now a fourth-rank official in the capital.
After hearing these words, even Sun Fu's expression changed slightly.
This is already the deputy of the Minister of Dali Temple!
In other words, he is the second in command or the third in command of Dali Temple.
Because there are two Shaoqings in Dali Temple.
People at this level are probably the leaders of the "Special Team" of the Sanfa Division this time, and people at this level who are leading the investigation must not just be investigating Du Zhong, the prefect of Fuzhou!
There is going to be a big movement in the entire officialdom of Fujian!
Sun Futai cupped his hands, but did not lower his head. He just said calmly: "I haven't been to Beijing for two years. The last time I came to Beijing, Yuan Shaoqing didn't seem to be..."
Yuan Tan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xiaguan was still the Prime Minister of Dali Temple two years ago. He was promoted to Shaoqing by the Holy Master at the end of last year. At that time, Xiaguan was still inconspicuous. He only saw Yuantu Gong from a distance a few times at court meetings. .”
“The new generation is better than the old generation.”
Sun Fu sighed with emotion and asked: "I just heard a shout from outside that Yuan Shaoqing wants to find our Fujian Governor Du?"
Yuan Tan glanced at Sun Fu, shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Yuantu, you are no longer in Fujian, and your hometown is not in Fujian. The term "we are in Fujian" seems inappropriate, right?"
Sun Fu felt a little helpless.
These four words were not meant for the young minister of Dali Temple in front of him, but for Eucommia ulmoides behind him. Now that they were refuted, he could not refute them.
Because this Yuan Shaoqing is also doing it for his own good.
Sun Futai said slowly: "I have been in Fujian for a long time, and I haven't changed it for a while."
Yuan Tan smiled and said: "We and other officials from the Sanfa Department were ordered to inspect the coastal provinces. Someone reported that Magistrate Du was corrupt, perverting the law, and running rampant in the area, so we came to ask him to go back."
】
Sun Fu had nothing to say.
He stepped aside, revealing the trembling Magistrate Du behind him.
Du Zhong stepped forward, glanced at Yuan Shaoqing in front of him, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He said, "Master Yuan, can you tell me who framed this official?"
"You and I are both in the fourth rank. Yuan cannot afford to be dismissed."
Yuan Tan said calmly: "The person who made the report naturally needs to keep it secret. Will Magistrate Du come with us himself, or will Yuan ask someone to ask Magistrate Du to leave?"
As a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, Eucommia naturally wanted to be decent. He took a deep breath and said, "Brother Yuan, please lead the way."
Yuan Tan bent slightly towards Sun Fu, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Yuan Tu, today I am busy with official matters. I will see you in Jiankang in the future. I will ask Duke Yuan Tu for advice."
Sun Fu nodded slightly: "Yuan Shaoqing can do whatever he wants."
Yuan Tan waved his hands, and the two men stood behind Du Zhong, but they still gave Du Zhifu the dignity of not touching him, and just followed Du Zhong.
A group of four people slowly left Mingxiang Tower.
Sun Fu stood alone at the door of the elegant room for a long time, and then returned to the elegant room. He glanced at everyone indifferently: "You have heard that the officials of the Sanfa Division have arrived in Fuzhou. You should go home quickly. What's the matter? The unclean places must be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid being caught by the people of the Three Laws Division."
There were a dozen officials from Fuzhou present, including those from the Fuzhou magistrate's office and those from the third division's office. They immediately bowed their hands to Sun Fu and said goodbye, and after a while, they all left.
Sun Shangshu walked down Mingxiang Tower alone, looked back at this place where he often drinks, then shook his head slightly and sighed: "It seems that it is time to leave Fujian."
He finally made up his mind to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible and rushed to Jiankang to take up his post.
As for whether he will go out to establish relationships with Du Zhongzhifu after arriving in Jiankang, only he knows.
…
The next day, Du Zhong, the prefect of Fuzhou, was found guilty of corruption and perversion of the law by the Sanfa Division, and allowed his nephew to do evil in Fuzhou. Officials of the San Fa Division suspended him from the post of Fuzhou prefect and prepared to send him to the capital for questioning.
On the same day, Sun Fu, the former governor of Fujian, finished taking over the errands of the governor's Yamen and left Fuzhou with his family.
Half of the officials in Fuzhou city went out of the city to see him off.
The other half who didn't come were because they knew that the old and new governors didn't get along, and they were worried about being scrutinized by the new governor, so they didn't come.
Of course, the new governor Cheng Tingzhi didn't come to see him off either.
To Governor Sun's surprise, Shen Yi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy in white clothes, also rode outside the city to see him off.
After seeing Shen Yi, Sun Fu, who had already said goodbye to his disciples and former officials, got out of the carriage and met Shen Yi. He smiled at Shen Yi and said, "It's rare that Master Shen went out to see me off in the city. I feel much better."
"Shaobao can escape in time, and the younger generation will be happy for Shaobao."
Shen Yi said with a smile: "When the errands in the southeast are finished, I will return to Jiankang, and then I will visit Shaobao."
Cheng Tingzhi had a grudge against Sun Fu, but Shen Yi had no grudge against Sun Fu.
And he also knew clearly that the emperor would not touch Sun Shangshu in a short time.
In this case, it is natural not to offend him if he can. After all, he is also a serious court official. Compared with Zhao Changping, who is holding the thigh in Shen Yi's arms, he is only...
Hmm...it's just two lines off.
Sun Fu had a sigh of relief on his face: "I have been in Fujian for many years, and most of these Fujian officials are not as sincere as Master Shen."
"If we meet again in Jiankang in the future, I will definitely have a drink and talk with Master Shen."
Shen Yi smiled and nodded, and then said, "Has Shaobao heard about Magistrate Du's affairs?"
Sun Fu nodded.
"heard."
"This is the beginning of the turmoil in Fujian's officialdom."
Mr. Shen smiled and said: "Junior suggested that after the Shaobao arrives in Jiankang, they should ignore Fujian affairs and only read books from the Ministry of Industry..."
"This is Shen's kind reminder. If Shaobao listens, listen to it. If you don't listen, don't get upset."
Shen Yi said this to Sun Fu...not out of any kind intentions.
Even saying this to a feudal official seemed to be showing off.
However, if he wanted to completely kill Eucommia ulmoides, he had to say this!
Because Mr. Shen knows that these old guys have a lot of power in the court. If Sun Fu really saves Eucommia ulmoides, he will only be fined three drinks and demoted two or three levels. Shen Yi will be sick to death!
At the very least, he must be dismissed from office, his property confiscated, and never used again!
Sun Shangshu was thoughtful, then he stroked his beard and nodded slowly.
"Thank you, Master Shen, for reminding me."
"I... took note of it."
