On the way to value.
The heat has subsided a bit these days, and the work of the Ministry of Justice is relatively less arduous than in previous days. In the morning, she sent her sister to Liuting Garden and met Yang Ye at the door. He also sent his sister Yang Yuan to the academy.
Yang Yuan muttered: "Who is she? Why did you talk to her for so long?"
Yang Ye touched Yang Yuan's head, "She is a colleague of the Criminal Department. Her sister is also studying in Liuting Garden. Let's chat a few words when we meet her. Her sister's name is An Lan, do you know her?"
Yang Yuan said, "I know you. Your family owns a tea shop. She comes from the countryside."
Yang Ye patted her and said, "What are you talking about? They are fellow villagers with us, and they are all from Huzhou. Please be polite. By the way, do you still have enough pocket money?"
Yang Yuan then opened her palms with a smile and said, "No more, give me some more."
Yang Ye took out his money bag and counted out ten coppers, "Okay, that's it. Save some money."
While the two were talking, An Ying came over and said, "Mr. Yang, this is your sister. Thank you for the umbrella last time."
Yang Ye thought to himself, Oops. He looked back at his little sister, and as expected he said with a dark face, "Brother, did you use the umbrella last time for her?"
An Ying didn't understand what the brothers and sisters were doing, so he looked around.
Yang Ye scratched his head in embarrassment, "Ah, look at your memory. An Sizhi, you are too polite, it's such a small thing. Come on, Yang Yuan, meet An Sizhi. Look, he is only a few years older than you. He is here. The Ministry of Punishment has done its job.”
Yang Yuan looked up and down, looked at An Ying's black official uniform, and sneered, "A female official from the Ministry of Punishment is not as dignified as a female official from the Hanlin Academy or the Zhijian Academy."
Yang Ye smiled sheepishly at An Ying, "Child, you are ignorant and talk nonsense. Don't take it to heart."
An Ying shook his head and left if he didn't agree with what he said.
After a while, Yang Ye caught up with her and walked side by side with her.
"My little sister is ignorant, please bear with me." Yang Ye quietly turned around and glanced at An Ying. The little girl was probably angry. Yes, my little sister’s mouth is really that.
An Ying tilted her head and looked at Yang Ye, "Your little sister is quite straightforward when speaking."
"Hey, she has that temper. Don't worry about her. I heard that your Criminal Department has solved a big case. Congratulations." Yang Ye said as he walked: "I told you last time about buying coir raincoats. Do you still want to buy them? Today I will buy them again." Is it worth it for me to take you there?"
An Ying shook his head, "I have an umbrella, but I forgot to bring it that day. Lin Yi also has one at home."
The two of them arrived at the Criminal Department as they spoke.
An Ying took out the approval slip signed by Mr. Su last time and went to the Ministry of Punishment's warehouse to look at old cases.
Not many people go to the warehouse to look at old stalls, and there is a thin layer of dust on the shelves. Chief Secretary Wang opened the door for her, stood at the door and said, "Wang Lushi, who is in charge of the warehouse, has been ill for a long time, so there is no one to clean here. The case files are all on the shelf, arranged according to time. You can look for it yourself." Ah." After saying that, he left.
An Ying looked at the shelves. Last year's case files were easy to find, just on the shelf at the door, but no matter how she looked through them, she couldn't find any information related to tribute tea.
Just as she was wondering, a cold voice came from above her head, "What are you looking for?"
She looked back and gasped, Chen Dong. How could I meet this King of Hell at this time?
"Master Chen." An Ying lowered his hands and saluted, "In the name of Master Su, I am checking the old files."
"Check old files? What old files?" Chen Dong looked at An Ying's head.
"That means we need to improve the standards and procedures for recording case files. That's why Mr. Su specially approved me to review previous major and serious cases. The files of such cases are detailed and I can refer to them." An Ying pretended to be calm and said what he had already said Made up reasons.
Chen Dong looked up at An Ying's position, "You haven't been anywhere else since you came in. You just walked around in front of last year's case files. What are you looking for? Last year's case files? Let me guess, the biggest case last year was the tribute tea case. , your father was also involved in the case. So, you are looking for this? "
A thin layer of sweat suddenly broke out on An Ying's body, and her saluting posture seemed a little stiff. "My lord, I am aware that I am indeed looking for the tribute tea case. But I didn't find it. I was thinking of looking for it a year further."
Chen Dong looked at her for a while and said, "The tribute tea case is not completely closed. All the files are in our Group C."
An Ying saluted and said, "Thank you, Master Chen, for informing me. I'll take a look at the other case files."
Chen Dong suddenly pulled out a case file from another shelf, "Take a look at this, it's quite interesting."
An Ying quickly took it, "I heard that you were the last person to see Luo Qiaoniang?" Chen Dong asked.
An Ying's head almost hit the ground, "My subordinates don't know either. I did see Luo Qiaoniang and informed her of Zheng Ping's fate."
"Isn't it more?" Chen Dong said quietly.
"Ah?" An Ying almost knelt down, "Sir, I, I, I didn't do anything."
"Did you tell her the whereabouts of her daughter?" Chen Dong bent down and looked at An Ying, who was almost trembling, in amusement.
It turned out to be this. An Ying was relieved and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinate has indeed revealed the whereabouts of Zheng Duo'er."
Chen Dong stood with his hands behind his back: "According to law, Zheng Duo'er should be thrown into the Jiaofang Division. But the people who went to arrest said that she had been killed by Zheng Ying. Did you and Luo Qiao Niang say that Zheng Duo'er was dead?"
An Ying gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
With a "bang", An Ying was kicked to the ground. She had never been kicked to the ground like this since she was a child. She was completely confused. At this time, the pain was not clear, but more of fear. An Ying knelt on the ground, thinking about how to respond.
"You lied." Chen Dong walked up to her, "How dare you, a little Si Zhi, to deceive others?" Chen Dong stepped on the back of An Ying's hand, causing her to burst into tears.
"I don't dare, I don't dare. Master Chen, please make it clear." An Ying gritted his teeth.
"Ha, you have a strong mouth. Zheng Duo'er was sent back to Luo Qiao's maternal grandfather's house. Was it you who did this?" Chen Dong's boots pressed back and forth on the back of An Ying's hand.
Although the back of his hand hurt terribly, An Ying breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be this.
She kowtowed and said, "I took care of this matter. When I found Zheng Duo'er, she was almost out of breath. The yamen officer who handled the errands disliked the trouble of bringing up a child who was about to die of illness, so I took the initiative to help deal with it. Later, I asked a doctor to administer medicine, and unexpectedly I was able to recover."
"My lord, I just can't bear it. Please forgive me, lord."
Chen Dong looked at An Ying and then at An Ying's red, swollen and mottled hands. He said: "Officials from the Ministry of Justice must act in accordance with the law and cannot add selfish motives. Your attempt to conceal the truth has violated the law. In theory, you should go How many days will he be kept in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?"
An Ying kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Master Chen. Thank you, Master Chen. In fact, since I have been working in the Ministry of Punishment, I have gradually understood the importance of the law. This matter is indeed my mistake, and I am willing to accept all punishments."
Chen Dong looked at her for a while and said, "I won't pursue this matter. If we pursue it, it will be our criminal department's dereliction of duty. You can do it for yourself and don't do it next time."
