Gu Sanshen listened to Tang Buping's report, his face was gloomy and scary, he slapped the case and yelled: "You bitch, you bullied me too much!"
Tang Buping looked at the broken table, feeling a little distressed, and reminded: "Commander Gu Shi, this is our Security Bureau's table. If you want to take pictures, shouldn't you take pictures of the Criminal Department's tables?"
Gu Sanshen, who was about to explode, immediately calmed down. Yes, the Security Bureau had some responsibility for this incident, but Si Konghui was from the Criminal Department, and the incident also occurred in the Criminal Prison. The main responsibility lies with the Criminal Department, not the Security Bureau.
Gu Sanshen understood the stakes and told Tang Buping: "You go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment now and personally guard Li Zengzhi. I will go to the palace to see the emperor and inform him of this matter."
Tang Buping nodded solemnly, with some concerns: "If the Ministry of Punishment blocks it..."
Gu Sanshen knew that there were some overt and covert struggles between the Security Bureau and the Criminal Department. After all, the Security Bureau would occasionally overstep its authority. The Security Bureau, which originally did not have the power to arrest people and interrogate people, now has dungeons and has imprisoned many people...
The Ministry of Punishment believes that the Security Bureau is becoming more and more unbridled, and if it is not restrained, sooner or later it will become a royal guard. The Security Bureau thought that the Criminal Department was a loser, and when they realized it later and took action to arrest people, they had already swam three times in the Yangtze River.
The principle of obeying authority in emergencies has been used too much, and it has gradually become a tacitly accepted routine method.
Faced with the increasingly sophisticated criminal methods of the Security Bureau, the cabinet remained silent. The Metropolitan Procuratorate was busy with the final checks before the Hajj. There was not much work to do in Dali Temple, but it was not willing to work...
Only the Criminal Department is always fighting against the Security Bureau.
This kind of resistance is not necessarily motivated by humanitarian concerns. People worried about whether those arrested by the security bureau will be treated inhumanely are more motivated by considerations of vital interests.
You know, the main business of the Criminal Department is to arrest people and interrogate cases. If the Security Bureau does it for them, then why should the Criminal Department go there? If you lose your job, where can you find a job?
Therefore, the relationship between the Criminal Ministry and the Security Bureau is not good. In addition, Bao Zhao has a bit of a temper and doesn't like giving face to others, so it's not unheard of for him to complain in front of Gu Sanshen.
Now, the Security Bureau can use the case of cell leader Sikong Hui to counterattack the Ministry of Justice and tell the Ministry of Justice and the Court that it is necessary and indispensable for the Security Bureau to arrest people and do things. If you count on the Ministry of Justice, there is no hope. .
If you don’t believe me, look at Si Kong Hui as the best example. The Ministry of Punishment is guarding the thief. Without the Security Bureau to catch this rat, wouldn’t it mean that you can go in and play with money? What’s the difference between this and a brothel except that there are no women to serve you?
Tang Buping sat unceremoniously in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, looking at Bao Zhao's long purple eggplant face, and felt very happy.
Bao Zhao is really powerless during this period. Now the Ministry of Punishment has provoked a lot of people. Because of the fire, many corrupt officials have been involved. Bao Zhao believes that the corruption of these people is just a matter of character and greed. In a word, Cultivation is not enough. It is their fault that they are not well-educated, but the inspection by the Metropolitan Procuratorate is unfavorable. If the Sixth Section is idle all day long and does not do any real work, it is a crime of dereliction of duty.
The problem of self-cultivation is small, but the dereliction of duty is big.
So the Ministry of Punishment vigorously impeached people. Within a period of time, it offended not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also the Sixth Section. Dai Deyi, the left-du censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who wanted to face the matter, was almost scolded so hard that he couldn't even breathe. He rested and recuperated for three days. The Minister of Civil Affairs also took two days off to avoid the limelight.
There was nothing I could do about it. Although Bao Zhao had a bad temper, he was also an upright, honest and thrifty person. He was clean and tidy. He didn't have any beauties in the building, nor had he taken any money that he shouldn't have taken.
If he curses someone, that person definitely deserves it. If you want to curse him back, you won't be able to find a place to bite him.
It's okay now. The Security Bureau took a bite out of Bao Zhao, but it was a big bite.
Tang Buping did not forget to pour some oil: "The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is full of holes. Without reporting and approval, unknown persons are allowed to contact the court's serious criminals without authorization. This means that it has not caused a big disaster. If something happens to some people, it will be violent." Minister, can you shoulder this responsibility?"
Bao Zhao was frightened for a while. There were many people imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, as well as the newly sent censors. If one of them was killed or injured, wouldn't the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate drown themselves in saliva? If Li Zengzhi had an accident, could Li Jinglong just let it go?
"If something goes wrong, I will apologize to the emperor. But Tang Zhenfu, I drank the tea and said my words. Is it time to go?"
Bao Zhao didn't want to see Tang Buping anymore.
Tang Buping didn't want to leave, so he picked up the tea bowl and said with a smile on his face: "The tea is not finished yet, please wait."
Bao Zhao stared at Tang Buping. Even though the eviction order was issued, you still haven't left. What do you want to do? Oh, as a delaying tactic, needless to say, Gu Sanshen should file a complaint in Wuying Hall...
"Come here, let's continue the tea. If Tang Zhenfu likes Xingbu's tea, you can stay here permanently."
Bao Zhao stood up and said majestically.
This is the threat of Chi Guoguo, but Tang Buping is not afraid. No matter how good the Punishment Department is or how powerful Baozhao is, they can't control people from the Security Bureau coming to drink tea. It's not necessarily impossible to stay here permanently if they want.
Bao Zhao left the lobby of the Ministry of Justice and looked at the minister Jin Yousheng who was walking towards him. He shook his head slightly and said, "The people from the Security Bureau must have some agenda if they don't leave. I'm going to interview the saint now. Before I come, don't let the Security Bureau lead you." Walk anyone.”
Jin Yousheng was a little surprised and asked quickly: "Bao Shangshu said that the Security Bureau wants to transfer the prisoners?"
Bao Zhao slowed down a little, looked up at the gloomy sky, and smiled bitterly: "Sikong Hui's problem involves a lot, and the Criminal Department will be in trouble."
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at the interrogation documents from the Security Bureau. Si Konghui from the Criminal Department explained many things. Although he did not hear clearly the conversation between the man in black and Li Zengzhi due to the distance, he directly named Li Zengzhi and even explained one point, After the man in black left, Li Zengzhi was very happy and asked the prison boss to get him some food and drinks.
"Your Majesty, the Criminal Department has failed in its duties. It is no longer appropriate for Li Zengzhi to remain in the Prison of the Criminal Department. Please transfer him to the Security Bureau and keep a close watch."
Gu Sanjian asked for the order.
Zhu Yunwen put the documents aside, opened a memorial, picked up the cinnabar pen, and told the chamberlain: "Bao Shangshu is coming, let him enter the palace directly, no need to report again."
Gu Sanshen knew that he would have to confront Bao Zhao about this matter today.
As soon as Zhu Yunwen approved the two memorials, Bao Zhao entered the palace to salute. Even though Zhu Yunwen asked him to stand up, he still knelt down.
"I am in charge of the Punishment Department and have committed a crime of dereliction of duty and oversight. Please ask the Emperor to punish me."
Bao Zhao kowtowed, heavy and a bit tragic.
Seeing Bao Zhao acting like this, Zhu Yunwen was a little worried for him.
In the court, the most terrifying thing is not the emperor, but the officials. These people make a living by scolding people.
Although Zhu Yunwen set up the East Factory, he blocked many rumors and false memorials, which reduced the criticism within the court. But if an official catches a loophole and what they say is the truth, they will probably hold on to it. Today they will write an impeachment memorial, and tomorrow they will write another 3,000 words. The day after tomorrow, they will probably work overtime and write 10,000 words. Book of words.
That posture is forcing the emperor and the cabinet to deal with these problematic people quickly. Even a small matter may be escalated to the point of resignation and retirement...
Bao Zhao had just offended the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Once they found out about this, they would not stop writing.
"The Ministry of Punishment is at fault in this matter. As the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, you should bear some responsibility. However, this kind of thing has existed for a long time. It has happened in all dynasties. It is inappropriate to blame you alone. I will punish you from top to bottom. , rectify the criminal department."
Zhu Yunwen made an understatement.
Bao Zhao and Gu Sanshen were both a little surprised. Is this punishment too light?
Zhu Yunwen was not joking. This kind of problem can only be left to the Ministry of Justice to deal with it. No matter who stays in that position, he will inevitably face this kind of thing. It is simply impossible to prevent it.
Since it cannot be eliminated or eradicated, it can only rely on the Ministry of Punishment to realize itself.
Still, there are some lessons to be learned from this incident.
Zhu Yunwen took out the interrogation documents and handed them to Bao Zhao: "The case of Sikong Hui involves Li Zengzhi and some secret forces. It is inappropriate for the Ministry of Punishment to conduct an inquiry. Once the information is leaked or Cao Guogong puts pressure on it, the Ministry of Punishment will always find it difficult to deal with it. Let's transfer Li Zengzhi to the Security Bureau. There are some things I really want to know."
Bao Zhao's face turned pale, this was the real punishment.
Although Zhu Yunwen gave some reasons, in any case, the Security Bureau removed people from the prison of the Criminal Department, which was equivalent to telling Bao Zhao that the Criminal Department was still insufficient and needed more training.
"I accept the decree."
Bao Zhao was unwilling and had no other choice.
Prison Department of Punishment.
Li Zengzhi looked at the opened cell door, stretched his body, and walked out proudly. He looked down upon the jailer and said, "The hardships I have suffered these days will be paid back a hundred times in the future."
The jailor shivered.
Even if Duke Cao's government has power and connections, after all, the dungeon is not a villa. The air is not fresh, the food is not rich enough, and there are no servants to serve. We can't blame us...
Li Zengzhi walked out of the prison, looked at Bao Zhao who greeted him personally, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Bao Shangshu, you are well."
Bao Zhao had a gloomy face and cupped his hands to Li Zengzhi: "I'm busy with official duties, so I won't see you off."
"No painstaking effort."
Li Zengzhi was extremely proud. Today's release from prison must be the result of the operation of his elder brother Li Jinglong. In this way, the power of Cao Guogong's government is still in hand. These officials are just officials, and there is no way they can be compared with the nobles.
Bao Zhao turned and left with a gloomy face.
Li Zengzhi walked out of the Criminal Department leisurely, breathing in the free northwest wind, and then asked a question: "Where is the carriage that greets me?"
After he was released from prison, Li Jinglong should at least send someone to pick him up.
"Then, the carriage you asked for is here."
A government official pointed to the carriage approaching slowly in front and took two steps back.
Li Zengzhi looked intently and saw that the driver on the carriage seemed familiar. Only when he got closer could he see clearly. He couldn't help but shudder. Isn't this Gu Sansen from the Security Bureau?
Gu Sanshen reined in the reins, pointed at the carriage behind him, and said with a twitch of the corner of his mouth: "Li Zengzhi, I'm here to pick you up, let's go."
