As the top leader of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Wenzheng can be said to dominate the Ministry of Punishment. The boss in heaven, the second in command, and Zhu Xiluo are not even ranked third.
The leader was one floor above. Liu Wenzheng's office was naturally on the second floor of the two-story building of the Criminal Department Yamen. Following the waitress, Xie Xiaodong and the others went up to the second floor. Seeing the waitress twerking rhythmically, Xie Xiaodong was filled with confusion. If it weren't for the inappropriate environment, Xie Xiaodong would have been unable to do it by himself, and it would be normal to immediately make it unsuitable for children.
Going up to the second floor, even Xie Xiaodong, who has seen the world, couldn't help but be speechless. How could this be so luxurious? The first floor is a small room separated from each other. Although the decoration is also very luxurious, it is only a little better. It's a high-end apartment, but if you look at the second floor, it's a big room. It's a big room. The second floor has been opened up, and there is a big room on the second floor. The decoration inside the room is also very luxurious. Marble floors are the most popular in recent years. Material selection, but the floor on the second floor is mainly retro, all made of wood. Of course, this wood is not ordinary wood. If you smell it carefully with your nose, there is a fragrance. Well, this material is made of small leaf red sandalwood, which is the small leaf red sandalwood in later generations. The favorite material for young people to make bracelets. Of course, this small-leaf red sandalwood was not the most expensive wood in the Ming Empire. Golden nanmu was the symbol of status and financial resources, but Liu Wenzheng did not have the courage. If Liu Wenzheng dared to use golden nanmu as a floor, Zhu Xiluo would definitely carry five The meter-long sword cut Liu Wenzheng into eight pieces.
The floor is also full of modern furniture and appliances, TVs, refrigerators, leather sofas, European-style beds and electric massage chairs. If Wang Busui is lucky enough to visit, he will definitely feel like home.
Rise in the morning and set at dusk, go out early and come back late, take a break from the busy work and have fun. Liu Wenzheng, who is not a good character, still has some elegant interests, such as collecting gold in troubled times and antiques in prosperous times. This is consistent with the situation of the Ming Empire, which was neither prosperous nor troubled. Liu Wenzheng likes gold as well as antiques.
Rows of antique shelves are filled with rare antiques, such as agate cups with animal heads, gold pendants with phoenix patterns and clouds, boxwood armrests, blue and white porcelain plum vases with pictures of Xiao He Chasing Han Xin under the Moon, amber hair crowns with front faces, and three friends in red under the glaze. Porcelain plum vase with lid, gilt copper dotted emerald butterfly knot, Chenghua plain three-color fragrant duck. Each piece is priceless, and of course the gadgets displayed in the office are only part of Liu Wenzheng's numerous collections. The prices are also relatively low, and the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice will only have more and more precious ones.
As the boss of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Wenzheng relies on him for all matters big and small. Therefore, Liu Wenzheng's healthy body and happy mood are very important and closely related to the development of the Ministry of Punishment. Therefore, the existence of these household appliances is very reasonable. Watch TV on the TV. To relax, the refrigerator is used to store off-season fruits, the leather sofa is used to entertain guests, the European-style bed is used to give Liu Wenzheng a lunch break, and the electric massage chair is used to comfort Mr. Liu's body. Just putting these toys is suspected of showing off wealth. , but you can take care of it if they want.
If there were only some appliances and furniture, the house would look too low-key and dull. Liu Wenzheng is also a person who pursues beauty, otherwise he would not be so obsessed with beautiful women. There are some flowerpots and green plants on the floor as well as some performance art sculptures. It is said that this kind of sculptures without clothes are very popular in Western countries. Homes with a little bit of status must have a few of them.
The walls are also covered with calligraphy and paintings by famous people, Wang Xizhi, Yan Zhenqing, Dong Qichang, well, there are also cursive scripts written by Liu Wenzheng and Mr. Liu, "all for the people of the Ming Empire. It is estimated that these words are also written by Mr. Liu Wenzheng and his conduct as the Minister of the Ministry of Justice." motto.
Although the space on the second floor is relatively large, there is no chill at all. In the middle of the room, there are small charcoal stoves according to the positions of the Nine Palaces and Bagua. Moreover, this charcoal is not ordinary charcoal. There is no smoke but fragrance, which is refreshing. The function of the brain.
The waitress went upstairs, took off her shoes, and then motioned to Xie Xiaodong and others to take off their shoes as well. Mr. Liu was most afraid of noise and the sound of walking when he was working.
Just do what others say, and Xie Xiaodong and others obey their orders obediently.
The waitress tiptoed and stood in the corner, bending and stretching, "Sir, the people you are looking for are here."
Behind the three-meter-long pear wood table, Liu Wenzheng showed his head and said, "Oh, I got it, let them wait a moment."
Liu Wenzheng is quite busy at the moment. Although he is older, Liu Wenzheng is old-hearted and he also likes things that young people like. For example, the chicken eating game is very popular in the Ming Dynasty. Liu Wenzheng is also a big fan of this game. I recharged ten thousand taels for this game just to experience the thrill of hitting an opponent in the head with one shot from eight hundred miles away. At this time, Liu Wenzheng was operating the keyboard, quietly lurking behind the enemy.
Bang bang bang, okay, Liu Wenzheng was hit in the head, and the opponent was also a silver player. Liu Wenzheng recharged ten thousand taels, while he recharged one hundred thousand taels. The Ming Empire still had no shortage of rich people. Seeing himself falling to the ground and leaving his equipment on the floor, Liu Wenzheng couldn't help but scolded his mother, "You are so shameless, you used your money to kill me."
"Uh, okay," Xie Xiaodong understood. After all, if the adults didn't eat the chicken, he would be in a bad mood if he didn't get the chicken.
After the game ended, Liu Wenzheng closed the computer angrily, stood up slowly, then walked to the massage chair and sat down. The waitress with a wink walked over quickly, put her hands on Liu Wenzheng's shoulders, and squeezed gently.
Liu Wenzheng leaned comfortably on the massage chair, looked at Xie Xiaodong and others, and waved, "Come here, you guys."
Like the scumbags who were called to the office by the teacher, Xie Xiaodong and others lowered their heads, carefully came to stand two meters away from Liu Wenzheng, and knelt down on the ground, "Hello, sir, I would like to say hello to you."
Phew, Liu Wenzheng almost laughed. Due to the interference of the world's human rights organizations, the Ming Empire had long canceled the benefits of kowtowing before officials. Even when meeting Zhu Xiluo, he only had to bend down and bow. Seeing Xie Xiaodong's great gift, Liu Wenzheng couldn't help but A burst of joy, the feeling of being superior to others is really good.
"Haha, what a polite boy, come on, sit down, sit down," Liu Wenzheng greeted Xie Xiaodong with a smile.
"Thank you, sir." Xie Xiaodong stood up, "Your Excellency is courteous and courteous to the corporal. I admire you."
"Haha, I have always been like this. I also like capable young people."
After chatting for a while, Liu Wenzheng started to do business. "Tell me what happened. The more detailed the better."
Although he had read the petition paper that Xie Xiangrong took, Liu Wenzheng really couldn't praise the content. The cultural level of Xie Xiangrong, the prefect of Songjiang, was worrying. His sentences didn't make sense and there were even typos.
So Xie Xiaodong started talking again, and a story about a good man who was wronged and persecuted appeared on the page.
After hearing the story, Liu Wenzheng frowned. Although Liu Wenzheng spent a lot of time fishing at work, after all, he had worked in the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice for such a long time. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Liu Wenzheng could also tell the difference between good and evil, true and false. Wrong, after listening to this story, Liu Wenzheng had a feeling that this story was not exciting at all.
Wonderful stories can bring fame to the audience and capture everyone's mentality. Thereby distorting the facts and doing whatever one wants.
He interrupted Xie Xiaodong's continued conversation and ordered the waitress, "Go and find two good writers."
"Sir, how about the two people who wrote the script for Director Hao last time?" the waitress asked.
"Okay, I heard that the script they wrote won an award."
Soon the two rather wretched-looking old men followed the waitress upstairs, stood in front of the stairs, took off their shoes, walked up to Liu Wenzheng, and said, "I have met you, sir."
"The two of you listen to the story, and then write a petition to win." Liu Wenzheng nodded, and then ordered the two of them to do things.
This was not the first time Xie Xiaodong had told the story, and in order to ensure that he did not miss anything during the yamen interrogation, he also recited it carefully. So Xie Xiaodong spoke again in just a few minutes.
"How about it"? After listening to the story, Liu Wenzheng asked.
The two old men thought for a while, then exchanged a few words, and finally nodded in agreement, "Sir, no problem, but the price of this petition may be a little higher."
The higher the difficulty, the higher the fee. The Xingbu Yamen always clearly states the price.
"Hurry up and pay." Liu Wenzheng pointed at Xie Xiaodong and ordered. The staff of the Criminal Department had not received Zhu Xiluo's salary for a long time. Therefore, in order to ensure the normal operation of the Criminal Department Yamen, the staff of the Criminal Department Yamen did not have to pay for food and clothing. Worried, Liu Wenzheng did not stop them from doing things with money.
"Pay, pay." Xie Xiaodong couldn't understand. He had already paid money at the reception desk downstairs, but when he thought that the money he just paid was on the first floor, he hadn't paid it on the second floor. What's more, he was not the one who paid the money, so Xie Xiaodong The confusion on his face disappeared.
"As much as adults need."
"Fifty thousand taels",
So one bank note passed from Xie Xiaodong's hand to Liu Wenzheng's, and then Liu Wenzheng took out another five hundred taels from the bank note and handed it to the two old men. Well, one percent commission, Liu Wenzheng and Liu The adults have a conscience.
"It will be done in the afternoon when I get off work."
Five hundred taels is not a small sum. Even in the film and television industry, which is the fastest-growing source of money, the two of them could only write a script for Director Hao for only a dozen or twenty taels. The two old men were so happy that they nodded like little chickens. "Thank you, sir. No problem. I'll deliver it to you before I get off work."
The two old men went downstairs with their money in their pockets. They had not taken a bath for a long time and their bodies were exhausted.
The complaint is basically gone. Here are a few witnesses. Liu Wenzheng is worthy of being the leader of the Ministry of Punishment. He repeatedly told the three witnesses Xie Xiaodong, Li Jinzhong and Wu Niaopeng what they should pay attention to and what words they should say as important witnesses in this case. What should be said and what should not be said, in order to complete the case, old man Qian Song was disgusted, and Liu Wenzheng spared no effort and wasted a lot of saliva.
In order to make their dreams come true, the three witnesses also listened carefully.
However, in order to avoid any accidents, Liu Wenzheng said a few more words: "Han Xin is leading the troops, it would be better to have more witnesses. You can find a few when you go back. They can be true or false."
When looking for someone to provide false evidence, Xie Xiaodong said there was no problem, as his father was a professional.
"On the day when you are promoted to court, you guys will also clean up your faces. You will look like bad people. Even if you are called the accuser, I won't believe you."
Well, the adults are heartbroken. No one would be so sad when their first love climbed into my brother's bed.
The witnesses and physical evidence were all in place. Liu Wenzheng reviewed the case carefully and found nothing wrong. His confidence in bringing down Qian Song increased a bit.
"Okay, it's almost done. The bill has been settled and you can go back."
"Okay, sir, the bill has been settled, we will go back, uh, wait a minute, bill, what bill?" Several people looked confused. They didn't eat or drink. They just took a few breaths of the air on the second floor. Is it still possible? There is a fee.
Hearing this, Liu Wenzheng's face dropped, "I have wasted so much saliva and time, don't I have to pay?"
"Well, okay, of course you will be charged for your time and words." Xie Xiaodong could not refute.
"Excuse me, sir, how much does your saliva cost?" It's not the first time, Xie Xiaodong is used to it.
"Seeing as you are coming from a poor place and don't have much money, I don't want much. My lucky math is six and eight, so I'll give you eighty-six thousand taels."
"Um, why not sixty-eight taels? Eighty-six taels is fine too." Although it was not his own money, he still felt distressed. He had only been in the Ministry of Punishment for a short time, and hundreds of thousands of taels were gone. However, Xie Xiaodong did not hesitate and took out the money readily. He was afraid that it would become 860,000 taels, sixty-eight thousand taels, etc. I can't even take out ten thousand liang. In comparison, eighty-six thousand is really not much.
The external injury has not healed, but the internal injury has recurred, and his performance for half a month has been lost. Kameda Jutaro has the urge to kill him with a piece of tofu.
Holding back his tears, Kameda Jutaro couldn't help but boldly spoke, "Sir, I am a Japanese pirate, so I'll give you some face."
"Haha, I know you. It's a pleasure to meet you. I heard that you have many specialties there."
"Uh, the officials in the Ming Empire are really bad." His eyes darkened, and Kameda Jutaro suffered an internal injury and fainted.
Seeing the Japanese pirates reacting so fiercely, Liu Wenzheng was very disappointed and said, "Oh, you stingy guy."
"Sir, do you have any other instructions? If not, we will go back and prepare." Xie Xiaodong was worried that he would lose money and was eager to leave.
"It's almost done," Liu Wenzheng waved his hand, but after looking at the unconscious Kameda Jutaro, he added, "The plaintiff's injury is a little off, so I'll go downstairs and do it again later."
"Okay, I will obey your orders." A few days have passed and Kameda Shiba Taro has recovered somewhat from his injuries. Even if Liu Wenzheng succeeds in pulling money from the king, Xie Xiaodong intends to do so even if Liu Wenzheng does not confess.
Xie Xiaodong went downstairs, and Liu Wenzheng's voice came from behind, "Come on, little cutie, I haven't seen you for a few days and let me check if you have grown."
"No, sir, I'm still at work."
"Well, why not? It's also part of your job to serve me well."
