Chapter 498 Going to court (one more)
The next day, after Qin Wubing washed up, the old monk ran over and they had breakfast together.

The old monk asked while eating: "You are really amazing! When you said that the key is whether the groom is the groom, I thought you would be able to find out the case this time, but I didn't expect..."

"Did Holmes tell you?" Qin Wubing muttered, and took the time to ask.

"At first Yu'er guarded the courtyard gate, but later it got dark and she wanted to leave, so she asked Feng Ming to guard you and not let anyone in. I couldn't help but ask Holmes."

Qin Wubing raised his head and was about to say that Holmes was also very tired, when Xiaofu hurried in again, Qin Wubing opened his mouth and asked, "Is someone here or is he going to enter the palace again?"

"Enter the palace!" Xiaofu replied,

"At this time? The emperor should be in court, right?" Qin Wubing was a little confused.

The old monk said excitedly: "This is for you to go to court! Maybe there is a reward!"

Qin Wubing became nervous, the whole family could talk about it, and he was very resistant to asking him to stand among the officials!

The old monk hurriedly asked Xiaofu, "Did you tell me to come with you?"

Xiaofu shook his head.

The old monk was in a hurry and stopped eating. He stared and shouted: "How can you not let me follow? If someone bullies you, there is no one to speak for you!"

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead, stood up and sighed, "What can I do? I have to hurry, I'm so far away, I dare not let the civil and military officials wait for me!"

After Qin Wubing finished speaking, he quickly changed his clothes, and the old monk yelled in the hall that he wanted to enter the palace together, even if he waited at the gate of the palace, at least he could know the medicine sold in the emperor's gourd earlier!

……

The Palace of Qinzheng towered majestically in the center of the palace. Qin Wubing had heard of it many times, and today he was finally lucky enough to stand in the palace, standing upright like a pillar in front of the palace gate.

The emperor looked at Qin Wubing's appearance, seemed very satisfied, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

There were quite a few officials on both sides of the hall, each standing with bows, all wondering what the emperor meant by announcing that Captain Qin was in the hall.

Qin Wubing was also puzzled, he thought for a while, the emperor wanted to hear the work report, let alone Guo Zheng, even if Guo Zheng couldn't understand, he could call him to the East Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, there was no need for him to Stand here and show your eyes.

Or maybe the emperor wanted to give a sweet date after giving him a slap, announcing the award in front of all civil and military officials?Qin Wubing felt that there was a possibility, so he calmed down a little more than before, and his calf didn't have cramps.

But the emperor didn't order anyone to read the imperial decree or pass an oral order, but sat upright, his face slowly became solemn, and then the emperor spoke seriously.

"I just told you why there are fewer people going to court today."

Qin Wubing subconsciously turned his head to look at both sides, is this still missing?How do you stand when there is a lot of time?Head resting on the shoulders of the person in front?
"Government corruption has become like this, I, I never expected! These days can be said to be difficult to sleep and eat! The late emperor entrusted such a heavy responsibility to my hands, do I want me to watch the once splendid rivers and mountains being eaten by these moths? Yesterday Confiscated the homes of eight officials, why? I said a long time ago that I can forgive people if they have to be forgiven! But some people don't believe it, so it's a fluke!"

"Is it true that everyone standing in the palace today is clean and honest? I don't know! You don't have to swear to say something useless, I don't believe what you say, I want to see what you do!"

"A few days ago, I ordered Captain Qin to review the case that required me to decide Qiuhou Wenqiu. Why was Captain Qin and not one of you? I also want to know!"

The emperor suddenly raised his voice, which frightened Qin Wubing.

"Can't the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty find another person who can share my worries? I am heartbroken! Qin Duwei has no official and no salary, but he can repeatedly do important tasks and work hard for the king's affairs!"

When Qin Wubing heard that this was a sentence to award a reward, his spine, which was already straight, couldn't help but straightened back again.

"Qin Duwei will tell you about your experience in handling errands in this hall!"

Qin Wubing was taken aback, he' huh? ' with a sound.

The emperor sullenly said: "Where have you been these few days? Why did you go, tell me."

It was only then that Qin Wubing realized that co-authorship was not a reward, and the emperor wanted to use him to make a difference!

Qin Wubing lowered his head and turned around quickly, then he opened his mouth and said:

"The emperor ordered me to review the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. After reading a few, I discovered two unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, three to be precise, and one that I haven't had time to think about right now. It shows how unfair the punishment and prison are! One murder case happened. If no one complains to the yamen, the yamen will just pretend that nothing happened. This will remove many murder cases. To be honest, most of the people who report the case are fooled by the yamen. The witnesses can be false, and the murderer is tortured. I think Ask, if the people are like this, whoever wants to do something that violates the law, can they just be cruel? Oh, and they need some silver in their hands."

Yang Enxiu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was furious when he heard this, and without thinking too much, he went out and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I think Captain Qin came to this conclusion after only looking at a few cases, and I suspect that I have exaggerated the truth!"

"Oh? How many cases does Yang Shangshu think he should have seen before drawing conclusions before exaggerating?" the emperor asked gently.

Yang Enxiu bowed with a distressed look and replied:

"I think that corruption is a chronic disease of the past dynasties. It is not unique to our dynasty, but caused by human nature! Qin Duwei only sees unjust cases, but not Zhaoxue, only officials are corrupt, but officials are not diligent. I don't know why he is like this! Is it true? I have no good officials in my court, no capable officials?"

The emperor looked at Qin Wubing, meaning: You answer.

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, I feel that what Master Yang and I are talking about is not the same thing. Master Yang wants to praise the peace of the world. I want to talk about the bad government in the officialdom. Master Yang wants everyone to only look at the good ones, and I want everyone to see the bad ones." , and then improve, and finally the world is really peaceful!"

"Qin Duwei, this is a clever talk!"

"A few days ago, there was a case of extermination of a tea shop in the capital. All adults should know that the servant of the Ministry of officials and his son were heard by the staff in the tea shop because they were plotting something in the tea shop. What they immediately thought of was to kill the mouth! In just a few days Two hours later, the lives of the six people in the tea shop were gone! Did Mr. Yang want to say that this is an exception, and it is normal for it to happen occasionally? Because it is a stubborn disease! But I want to know, what made Chen and his son do it so quickly? Make a decision to kill people? Even in the capital, people’s lives are so reckless, let alone in the local area!"

"How long ago did Master Yang leave the capital? I just entered Beijing not long ago, and I was trusted by the emperor. I have traveled to many places along the way, and personally participated in the investigation of several murder cases, all of which are similar to the teahouse murder case. That is - killing is the easiest way, and the best way to protect yourself! As long as you have money in your hand, as long as you are ruthless enough!"

"Master Yang wants me to see Zhaoxue? Who should see those people who died in vain? Shouldn't Zhaoxue be normal? The Ministry of Punishment and even local officials should be ruthless and selfless. For unjust and wrongly decided cases, we must do our best to make the people feel at ease, and those with power and influence should not dare to act rashly, but is this really the case? If so, how could the Chen family and his son kill six people in a few hours? What I think is that after Chen Lun took office, there is nothing to investigate, and this murder case has become an unsolved case! Master Yang, I want to review all the murder cases in the capital in the past few years, I wonder if it is possible?"

Yang Enxiu's complexion changed again and again, but he didn't dare to speak up.
