The Black Flag Battalion moved very quickly. When the four second-rate sects were wiped out, they began to take out thick files and complete the final closing process.
In fact, it was said to be the Ye Lansheng case, but now most of them have no direct contact with Ye Lansheng. They just used the Ye Lansheng case as an excuse to deal with some restless and unlucky people. Therefore, it is actually not troublesome to organize most files. You only need to add the preset content directly according to the actual situation, which basically does not take too much time.
What is a little more troublesome is to ask the prisoners in the dungeon to put their fingerprints on the confessions prepared for them one by one. Of course, there are also people who die first accidentally, but there is still no problem in leaving a hand to seal the fingerprint. As for review, who will review the Black Flag Camp case?
Moreover, the Ye Lansheng case has actually been finalized a long time ago. None of those who were implicated could survive. Those who were not arrested immediately at the beginning were basically all captured by the sea. After the trial, they all had the word "death".
Originally, it stands to reason that these cases should be handled by the Ministry of Punishment and all follow the legal process. However, this case was assigned by the emperor to the Black Flag Camp from the beginning. Out of "trust" considerations, there was also the idea of avoiding the law.
After all, according to the law, many people in the Ye Lansheng case cannot die. But the emperor didn't want those people to live, so Xuanqingwei was the best choice. And Shen Hao, the leader of the Black Flag Camp, was the one whom Emperor Xuanqing Weili was most familiar with. If not the Black Flag Camp, who would push him?
There are too many twists and turns in it, and it would be too far to explain it clearly.
Shen Hao has already figured out these twists and turns. He has positioned himself as a "dirty worker", and the performance he can earn is only in front of the emperor, but his reputation may become even more unpopular in the future.
By the evening, the dossier was basically sorted out. There are a total of 169 books piled up like a wall in Shen Hao's apartment, some of them are more than three inches thick, and some of them are about an inch thin. Everything is still written on paper instead of copper strips, otherwise it would be more. But even so, according to Wang Yiming, the total number of files here exceeds one thousand kilograms.
Is this what people often call “serious cases”? The case file weighing one thousand kilograms was indeed considered a serious case. It had to be packed in a special storage bag and then escorted and reported.
But Shen Hao still needs to make a final check before reporting. Although this is troublesome, it is an indispensable part.
There are two main aspects of verification. One is to check whether there are any contradictions and conflicts between the dossier and the actual situation. The second is to see whether the overall trend of the dossier is in line with the various charges in the "Thirty-Seven Sins Book". Finally, Find a reasonable reason for execution for every criminal.
Of course, Shen Hao did not complete the verification alone. There were several soldiers assisting him, including Wang Yiming. This busy time is late at night.
Without going to sleep, Shen Hao meditated and completed his homework. After that, he called in some food and then checked with Wang Yiming and others. The next day, he checked and revised it.
At the same time, Shen Hao led his people from Fengri City to the Imperial City. Wang Yiming, who was traveling with him, was responsible for connecting with the people who commanded the Yamen and handed over the files of the cases that were closed overnight by the Black Flag Camp.
Only one of these files is the original, which is stored in the Black Flag Camp Yamen's own archives. There are also two rubbings, which were handed over to the commander's Yamen and the Ministry of Punishment respectively.
The emperor needed Shen Hao to report it in person. The complete file was not needed, just a summary. The emperor will naturally find out and confirm the specific situation through other channels.
However, before going to see the emperor and the case was to be settled, Shen Hao still had to meet with Pang Ban and explain to him what had happened in the past few days and see his reaction.
After giving Wang Yiming a few words, Shen Hao was led to Pang Ban's public house. After the adjutant served tea and exited, Pang Ban got down to business with a smile.
"Is the case closed? I heard that this battle was huge, but you ended it quickly enough."
For some reason, Pang Ban looked the same as before, and there was no difference between his words, but Shen Hao inexplicably felt a little close to him, something he had never felt before.
"My lord, this time it was mainly the people from Fenghong Villa who attacked, with the assistance of 30,000 soldiers of the Forbidden Army. The battle was indeed a bit big, but fortunately it went smoothly, and it was all put down that morning.
In fact, the sect's errands have nothing to do with our Black Flag Camp, it's just His Majesty's request. As soon as the subordinates finished over there, they started to finish the files. The main work on the previous file has not stopped, and there is not much left. I have been busy for a day and spent the whole night yesterday to get it done. "
Shen Hao suppressed the doubts in his heart and summarized the reasons why he completed the case so quickly. Of course, this was not an expression of merit, but a response to Pang Ban's previous dissatisfaction with the time occupied by these "errands that did not belong to the Black Flag Camp" in his hands.
Now Shen Hao is hurriedly completing the tasks assigned by the emperor to explain to Pang Ban and express his feelings. He is on Pang Ban's side.
Of course, these are all just words. That's what he said, but when Shen Haoguang became the "Foreign Affairs Archdeacon" of Fenghong Villa, he would definitely have a lot more things to do. How to deal with these matters will involve his energy, but it just depends on what Pang Ban thinks.
Pang Ban still didn't ask about the specific details of the destruction of those second-rate sects. Instead, he smiled and nodded, pointing to the chair next to him for Shen Hao to sit down.
"The two ancestors who took action this time are Yang Shan and Yang Qingzhi, right?" Pang Ban did not inquire more about the case. Firstly, he believed that Shen Hao could handle it well. Secondly, this case was assigned to Shen Hao by the emperor. It was a special task and there was no need for him to point fingers. However, some unexpected news still made Pang Ban prepare to ask a few off-topic questions.
Shen Hao was not surprised at all when he heard this. It was impossible to hide the fact that the two ancestors of Fenghong Villa came out of the mountain from Pang Ban. Even Pang Ban must have known that Yang Shan wanted to accept him as his disciple.
So Shen Hao cupped his hands and said: "Ancestor Yang Qingzhi's subordinates didn't see it, but Ancestor Yang Shan's subordinates saw it. In addition, the ancestor expressed his love and gave a gold sword as a gift, and asked his subordinates to go to Fenghong Villa afterwards to say It’s because my subordinates are barely able to catch my eye, so I intend to accept them into the ancestral gate.”
With that said, Shen Hao took out the golden sword that he had taken off before and showed it to Pang Ban.
There is nothing to hide about this, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. But Shen Hao raised his head and looked at Pang Ban, trying to see something from Pang Ban's face.
"Hahaha... Your kid has indeed been chosen by the ancestors. This is such a blessing! Okay, okay, okay!"
