The officers of the Black Cavalry Army, together with several officers from the Criminal Department, finally squeezed out of the crowd with all their strength.

That's it, or because they yelled hard when they went out.

"Folks, please step aside. We are here to get evidence. If you don't step aside, we won't be able to get evidence and we won't be able to try those corrupt officials."

They would shout this almost every few steps.

These words were given to them by Zhu Han. Otherwise, even with the help of the Black Cavalry soldiers, it would probably take a lot of time to get out.

Even now, many people are taking the initiative to make way for them in order to let them get the evidence as soon as possible.

This journey has also been quite difficult.

"Give way, let these military masters go out and get evidence quickly."

"It's not that I don't want to give way. There is no road on my side. People behind me will have to squeeze in."

"I don't think you should get too distracted. How can those officials deal with the officials?"

Various voices were mixed together, and the soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army couldn't quite hear what others were saying.

Just try to separate the crowds and squeeze outside as much as possible.

It took a lot of effort to finally squeeze out of the crowd.

The officers and soldiers of the Black Cavalry Army felt their eyes light up, and their surroundings suddenly became brighter.

However, when they turned back to look in the direction of the crowded Punishment Department, they suddenly felt the urge not to come back.

When the Black Cavalry men went to get evidence.

Liu Song looked at Liang Ji coldly and said: "Master Liang, before I came here, Your Majesty personally explained this."

"For officials here in Yanjing, anyone who commits corruption or accepts bribes will be punished with an additional penalty."

If these words were said in the original Ming time and space, they would be different.

Maybe we can scare the head of the Cleaning Department of the Yanjing Ministry of Finance into something good.

Zhu Yuanzhang was different from other emperors.

If it were other emperors, even the Tang Zong and Song Zu would have had problems of one kind or another when dealing with personnel.

After all, as the founding emperor, many of their ministers had fought with them through life and death.

As long as it is not a serious crime of rebellion, it is not easy for them to directly use thunderous methods.

At that time, leaving a reputation of ungratefulness will be a bit too unpleasant.

Needless to say, in the Song Dynasty, even if civil servants committed serious crimes, they would be exiled and exiled at most, and few people would kill directly because of their crimes.

Although the Tang Dynasty was better, in order to check and balance the imperial court, His Majesty the Holy Emperor made many compromises in this regard.

Only Zhu Yuanzhang really hated corrupt officials to his core.

Moreover, the greatest advantage of Lao Zhu is that he is pragmatic and never cares about the false reputation of the so-called sage monarch.

Therefore, all court officials dare to commit corruption and accept bribes.

Zhu Yuanzhang was never merciless in handling matters.

It's all about ripping off skin and pretending to be innocent. The bloodier the method, the better.

Looking at the past five thousand years, which emperor is the wisest? Maybe everyone has their own ideas.

However, an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, who was merciless to corrupt officials and showed no mercy when it came to punishing them, was the only one who had the scorpion daddy.

After all, there are not enough people who can kill enough to become an official. How spicy is Zhu Yuanzhang's method.

It can be said that those corrupt officials might be scared to death just by hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's name.

Unfortunately, in the Ming Dynasty of this time and space, there is an anomaly like Zhu Han.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was killing indiscriminately, Zhu Han tried to persuade him more than once.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not really go on a killing spree in the court.

The advantage of doing this is that it does kill a lot less people.

The disadvantage is that some corrupt officials have not felt this deterrent and do not pay much attention to the court.

Liang Ji looked upright and awe-inspiring: "Thank you for your advice, sir."

"This official has a clear conscience. There is absolutely no problem with the accounts of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance."

"Our officials from the Qing Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty are working hard every day to calculate the accounts for the imperial court."

"Eating the emperor's salary is the only way to be loyal to the emperor."

"Originally, it wasn't a big deal. After all, this is what we should do."

"However, when we are working so hard, the court comes to question us. This is a bit chilling, right?"

Liu Song still looked calm: "So, you still think you are not guilty?"

"It's natural." Looking at Liang Ji's aggrieved and angry look, it seemed as if he had really been greatly wronged.

Liu Song nodded and said: "Liang Ji...I am telling you this in the hope that you can find your way back."

"If you admit your crime yourself, I can write to your Majesty to reduce it..."

Before Liu Song could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by a cry of grief.

"Master Qingtian, please let the civilian women make the decision!"

There seemed to be endless grievance and sorrow in that voice.

Many people couldn't help but feel like crying just by hearing this sound.

Liu Song frowned slightly and said, "Bring the noisy people up."

The officials from the Criminal Department quickly helped an old lady onto the high platform.

The old lady had a stooped back and gray hair, and her face was full of grooves, giving her a weather-beaten look.

When the old lady went up to the high platform, she seemed to have to use all her strength every time she crossed the stairs.

Looking at her swaying appearance, Liu Song was worried that a strong gust of wind could send the old lady away directly.

Without the support of the officials from the Ministry of Justice, the old lady might not even be able to go up the steps.

Liu Song glanced behind the old lady and found that except for the government servants, there was no one around the old lady.

This thing seems very strange.

You know, in the Ming Dynasty, the elderly were very important.

For an old man of this age, even if he goes for a walk on the street, there will definitely be relatives around him.

If not, that can only mean...

Liu Song did not dare to continue thinking, but took advantage of the situation and started to take stock of the old lady's clothes.

This look is even more heartbreaking.

The old lady's clothes were in a mess of all colors.

This is not about pursuing a new trend.

Instead, the clothes she wore had several layers of patches.

These patches are stacked up layer by layer, and from a distance it looks like the old lady is covered with a lot of rags.

The old lady finally stepped onto the high platform, and immediately wanted to kneel down to Liu Song.

Liu Song was frightened and stood up quickly: "Old man, you must not do this. I, Liu Song, cannot bear your gift."

"Old man, you don't want me to lose my life, right?"

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you quickly bring a chair to this lady?"

Soon, a servant from the Ministry of Punishment came over to sit on a small pony for the old lady.

It's not like the government officials are stingy. At such an old age, they still don't prepare chairs for others.

The most important reason for this is that Ming Dynasty is not a later generation after all.

The appearance of Zhu Han brought earth-shaking changes to the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Han is not a god after all, nor can he change anything.

Although this old lady is old, she is just an ordinary citizen after all.

According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people without official status can only kneel in the court.

Of course, if you have any special contributions or are some relatively famous squires, you are not completely unable to sit.

And after they went to court, the stools they sat on were the ones the old lady was sitting on now.

It was not easy to arrange for the old lady to sit down.

Liu Song asked patiently: "Why is this lady crying for injustice?"

"You know, the people we are trying here are all corrupt officials in the court."

"If the person you want to sue is not here, I suggest you go to Jingzhao Mansion to file a complaint."

In the distance, Yin Zhouliang of Jingzhao Mansion turned green when he heard Liu Song's words.

I said in my heart that there is no such thing. Mr. Liu, please speak politely. Why do you want to bring them Jing Zhaoyin along with you?

But the old lady shook her head repeatedly: "Master Qingtian, it's not like the civilian woman didn't go to Jing Zhaoyin."

"It's just that every time I go, Jing Zhaoyin's officials have a young lady waiting for them."

"Every year it takes, the women no longer count on them."

"Today, the women heard that Mr. Qingtian wanted to clean up all the corrupt officials in Yanjing."

"That's why a common woman is bold and wants to ask an adult to make the decision for me."

Liu Song did not agree immediately, but looked around.

I saw that the black cavalry army who went to collect the accounts of the Ministry of Finance and the Cleaning Department had not returned yet.

I was about to continue asking the old lady, but I accidentally discovered it.

Liang Ji, the head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance, his face suddenly changed when he saw this old lady.

Liu Song immediately understood that this old lady must be inextricably related to Liang Ji.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise.

Snapped.

Liu Song gave a slap in the face and said, "Would you please tell me your name, please?"

The old woman did not dare to be negligent and replied hurriedly and respectfully: "My lord, I am a commoner woman named Gao Liu."

The status of women in this era is naturally not going anywhere.

In Ying Tiandi's practice, Zhao Min recruited many women.

These women themselves can earn money to support their families through legitimate crafts.

Moreover, the income of many of them has even exceeded that of their husbands, and their status in the family has gradually increased.

But Yanjing is really far away from Yingtian.

Many situations here are not much different from before.

Many women do not have formal names.

At most, it's just the husband's surname plus your own surname.

This is obviously the case for the Gao Liu family. Gao is her eldest husband's surname, and Liu is her original surname.

"Ms. Gao Liu, why are you calling for injustice?"

Mrs. Gao Liu's voice was trembling with excitement. Before she even started speaking, tears were already filling her eyes: "Sir, if a civilian woman wants to sue this thief, please make the decision for the civilian woman."

When Mrs. Gao Liu pointed at Liang Ji, he gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to eat Liang Ji alive in one bite.

She gritted her teeth and kept sobbing: "Master Qingtian, just three years ago, Liang Ji's son Liang Tian fell in love with my daughter."

"If the sun shines brightly on you, you will be unfaithful to my daughter."

"My daughter refused and ended up jumping off the building to her death."

"My husband and I went to seek justice from him, but this evil-hearted guy openly shielded his son and even ordered his servants to beat my husband."

"In less than half a month, my husband died of serious injuries."

"Master Qingtian, please make the decision for us."

Looking at the old lady, she looked like she was going to faint from crying.

The people at the scene were also filled with indignation.

"Haha, this guy's moral character is really no different from other officials."

"This Yanjing City has long been brought to a state of disgrace by those dandy second generation ancestors."

"When I came to take a look, there were already people complaining on the spot. What else can the court officials who came to interrogate this time do?"

Public opinion was so fierce that even if no one said a word among the people watching the excitement around the Ministry of Justice, it would cause a roar like a sea wave.

Liang Ji only felt that he was indeed somewhat impressed by the old lady's chills on his back.

Given the situation at that time, it would have been impossible for him not to come forward.

Who let it be his youngest son who made the mistake?

Liang Ji can be regarded as a child of old age, so he naturally dotes on his children.

Although he usually taught him, his son also had a stiff ear and a cold ear, and he didn't take his father's words to heart at all.

Until one time, Liang Tian accidentally killed someone.

For the sake of his favorite son, Liang Ji could only come forward to settle the matter.

Although his grade doesn't seem to be particularly high.

This is Yanjing, and a stone thrown casually can hit several ministers, let alone the head of a mere official department?

But Liang Ji is different. He is the head of the Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Finance.

The person in charge of the money bag is the same as the person in charge of the officials.

Who dares not to give face?

After the first time, there will be a second and third time.

Over the years, Liang Ji has often used his old face for this matter.

As for the old lady complaining in front of him, Liang Ji was really impressed.

The reason why I was so impressed was because this old lady had a very tough character.

He even scratched his face with his nails.

It was nothing at first, but after suddenly remembering this incident, Liang Ji suddenly felt that the place on his face where the woman had clawed him began to hurt again.

"Liang Ji, are everything Gao Liu said true?"

How dare Liang Ji admit such a thing?

He quickly pretended to be angry and explained: "That's nonsense."

"Sir, this old woman is talking nonsense. Please drive her out immediately."

"In the past few years, my son has been immersed in studying and has rarely gone out. How can he have time to do such a thing?"

"My lord, you have a keen eye and you must be able to see that this unruly man is simply slandering the official and his son."

"You scumbag who has killed a thousand swords, do you dare to swear to God that your son did not force my daughter to death or my husband to death?" When the old lady saw Liang Ji's denial, she immediately shouted angrily without waiting for Liu Song to speak.

Liang Ji's face turned slightly, and then he sneered with pretended contempt: "You can't say anything about your strange power, and swearing and swearing has no meaning at all."

"I'm too lazy to be knowledgeable like a fool like you. If you don't have any evidence, just get out of here."
