Chapter 283 A Special Case

Capital, Ministry of Punishment.

On Zhao Shun's desk, stacks of files had accumulated dust for a long time. The suspects in some cases were still detained in various places, and some cases were either closed or turned into unjust cases.

For two days in a row, except for the occasional small official passing by, the criminal department was empty, and those who didn't know it thought it was a deserted mansion.

After two days, the head of the criminal department gradually became puzzled, maybe the criminal department really came out with a practical person.

Outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice, a scribe from Gyeonggi Province came with a cloth bag on his shoulders.

The clerk had a bit of reluctance on his face, knowing that the Ministry of Punishment was here for nothing, the case had to wait until the review period had passed fifteen days later, and the Gyeonggi Prefecture would make its own decision.

But Yin Gaosheng of Gyeonggi Prefecture still insisted on going through the process that should be followed.

A bunch of new cases came out, and the clerks of Gyeonggi Province entered the Ministry of Punishment.

Meeting the head of the Criminal Department head-on, the clerk habitually showed a flattering smile on his face.

"Hehehe, my lord, we meet again. You have been responsible for this criminal department all the time. It's really hard work."

The head of the Ministry of Punishment hurriedly let out a sigh, and pulled the scribe aside.

"Scribe Zhang, I can't say this anymore. I'm not the only one in charge of the Ministry of Punishments now."

The scribe was very surprised, glanced left and right and asked in a low voice: "Is there anyone else in charge of this punishment department besides you?"

Under the influence of the scribes, the Ministry of Punishment has been in disrepair for a long time, and the cases reported from all over the country are like a cow in water, and there is no movement at all.

The head of the criminal department copied his hands, and smiled inexplicably, "You know that this year's new champion."

"I know." The scribe nodded, "This No. [-] scholar entered the official position as a third-rank official, so it's possible that he is also in the Ministry of Punishment."

The head of the Ministry of Punishments nodded, the scribe took a breath, and then sneered.

"Most likely the new officials took office three times. Before long, the Ministry of Punishment will become the back garden of the principal."

The head of the Ministry of Punishment took a slap from the horse and laughed, "I thought so too at first, and thought he was here to put on a show. As a result, the No. [-] scholar stayed directly in the Ministry of Punishment, reading the files day and night."

"Is there such a current event?"

The scribe suddenly had the feeling that the sun was coming out from the west, and then handed over a stack of files to the head of the Ministry of Punishment.

"These are a few new cases from Gyeonggi Prefecture. The number one scholar sees the use of some old cases, and they can't be tried for a long time. If he is really a person who handles affairs, this new file is suitable for him."

The head of the criminal department stroked his beard and nodded, just in time to try Zhao Shun with this new case, if he reviewed and reviewed it, it meant that this person was indeed doing something, if not, he was just putting on airs.

"Okay, I'll send the dossier in, and the scribe Zhang will go to work too."

"Alright, you're busy, I'll go first."

The gossip was over, and the two went their separate ways.

The head of the criminal department took the file to Zhao Shun's office study, bowed his waist and nodded, and put the file on the desk.

Zhao Shun raised his eyes to look at the file, it was as clean as new, and asked, "Is this a new case?"

"Exactly, this is just sent by Gyeonggi Prefecture. All the staff are on file. The request is urgent."

The chief of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs deliberately made the matter urgent, and wanted to see if Zhao Shun could handle it.

"Well, you put it there."

The head of the criminal department put down the file, then walked out with a smile.

After a while, Zhao Shun let out a long sigh, put down the file of an unjust case, and then picked up the new file.

In the injustice case just seen, the people involved in the case have already been beheaded, and Zhao Shun is powerless to recover, but in the new case now, he will never allow any injustice.

There were a total of seven files, and Zhao Shun read six of them in a row. After all, Gyeonggi Prefecture was under the emperor's footsteps, and the trial in Gyeonggi Prefecture was comprehensive, with all the evidence and witnesses' testimonies.

When Zhao Shun thought that everything was calm, the last dossier made him frown.

Prisoner: Hongye (formerly known as: Hongxiu)
After carefully reading the dossier, Zhao Shun's face became more and more ugly.

The Hongye girl was taken away by Gyeonggi Prefecture two days ago because of a conflict with local gangsters. Afterwards, the governor of Gyeonggi Prefecture interrogated her and found that there was a genealogy in Hongye's luggage. The name on it did not match Hongye's name at all.

Later, Gao Sheng checked the names on Hongye's genealogy with the household registration department, and found that all the people on the genealogy were killed by the regent's order, and they were wanted criminals by the court.

But the reason for being wanted is ambiguous in the dossier. It only states that Hongye is one of the wanted criminals. According to the order of the regent, Hongye was to be executed immediately.

Seeing this, Zhao Shun's heart was heavy. The little daughter-in-law had just been running for Hongye, but Hongye herself was the first to be exposed.

And with the current situation, Hongye is almost a dead end, it is impossible for Zhao Shun to block the entrance of Gyeonggi Prefecture.

But for the sake of Shen Xian's friend, Zhao Shun still decided to go to Gyeonggi Prefecture, but if there is even a slight possibility, he can't ignore it.

Taking the dossier, Zhao Shun got up in a hurry, got into the carriage and rushed towards Gyeonggi Prefecture.

The head of the criminal department looked sharply at Zhao Shun's back, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

The new No. [-] Scholar is really a master of affairs. Originally, there was no one in the criminal department. For many unimportant cases, the chief of the criminal department can decide whether the case is right or wrong.

After passing through his hands, the case turned into real money.

Guilty becomes innocent, and innocence becomes guilty. Now a servant of the household department is on top, and it is inconvenient for him to do many things.

The Ministry of Justice was neither near nor far from Gyeonggi Prefecture, and it took about half an hour for Zhao Shun to arrive at Gyeonggi Prefecture.

When the policemen in front of the Gyeonggi Prefecture saw Zhao Shun dressed in a purple mansion, they knew that he was a member of the third rank.

"My lord, I don't know what's important to visit Gyeonggi Province."

Holding the file in his hand, Zhao Shun pretended to be casual and said, "I am the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. I have a case to review."

The policeman was surprised when he heard that, the people from the criminal department hadn't been here for a long time.

The police quickly invited Zhao Shun into the living room, and then notified Gao Sheng from Gyeonggi Prefecture.

Master Gao smiled and saluted Zhao Shun, and then said politely: "I have heard that the number one scholar is both talented and beautiful, and today I saw him, he is really extraordinary. It's a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you."

"Happy to meet."

Zhao Shun returned a salute, and then unfolded the file in his hand.

Seeing that Zhao Shun was not polite, Gao Sheng suppressed his smile and sat on a chair beside him.

Although Gao Sheng is tactful and sophisticated, this slickness is also different. Although he has just met Zhao Shun, he can see that Zhao Shun is not smooth-tongued. He must be serious about this kind of person, otherwise it will only make people unhappy.

After Zhao Shun unfolded the file, he went straight to the point, "I am here for Hongye's case."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Sheng's heart moved. No wonder Zhao Shun's sudden visit was for this case.

It has long been heard that Zhao Shun joined Yu Wenji's command as soon as he was in the officialdom, and now seeing that it is indeed the case, a person who was missed in an old case came here specially.
