Chapter 244 Sir, it’s so high!

"Master Li, why did we bring the body over?" Qin Wan asked.

"It will go rancid in a few days." Zhang Qian said.

Yang Liang said: "How do you usually deal with this kind of thing?"

Qin Wandao: "The duty of our Procuratorate is to supervise all officials, and it is not our duty to investigate cases. Such corpses are usually sent to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment."

Yang Liang said: "Then do you think it is better to send it to the Ministry of Punishment or to Dali Temple?"

Qin Wan and Zhang Qian looked at each other with embarrassment on their faces.

"Lord Qi, I'm afraid no one will take care of this kind of noisy matter."

This matter involves King Fu and the Rong people. No matter how it is handled, it will not please both parties, but if it is ignored, it will damage the national prestige of the Dasheng Dynasty.

Therefore, both the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple gave up their plans.

Qin Wan and Zhang Qian originally thought that Yang Liang was just a young boy, but after a conversation, they mistakenly thought that he had some high-end operations, so they had a little hope in their hearts.

"Sir, is there actually another place where we can take care of this case?" Qin Wandao said.

"Oh?" Yang Liang said, "Is there any place in the capital that is bigger than the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment?"

After asking this question, Yang Liang had the answer in his mind. He looked at Qin Wan, saw Qin Wan nodded to him, and quietly confirmed his answer.

The only one that can be bigger than Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Punishment is the eunuch party.

Ever since the Holy Lord established the Three Sword Guards today, they have become officials above the law, outside the law. They take care of those who others dare not take care of, and they dare to arrest those who others dare not catch.

Just because the Thirteen Kings died suddenly and the eunuchs lost power, I didn't even think of this force that could cover the sky with one hand.

Is it just the relationship between myself and the eunuch...

Yang Liang thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Criminal Department to try our luck first."

The person in charge of the trial of this case in the Ministry of Punishment is named Chen Jiuxing. He was born in Juren. After decades of working in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, he finally became a sixth-rank official.

Seeing that there was no hope of promotion, he started to make money. Fortunately, the Criminal Department was also a lucrative department. He could earn a few hundred taels by just trying cases.

Relying on these, he bought two large houses in the capital and maintained an outhouse. In addition, he became a frequent visitor to the brothel.

When this errand fell on him, Chen Jiuxing was so frightened that the three corpse gods jumped and Wuling soared into the sky with pride.

Damn it, who wants to harm me? Why would it fall on me even though we knew it was a beheading lawsuit?

They must be those damn colleagues. I thought they had a good relationship in the past, and they often went to Beijing to drink wine.

As a result, at the critical moment, you sold me.

He immediately resorted to illness, claiming that he was not feeling well and wanted to take a long leave for the first half of the year.

But the method that had always been successful in the past was rejected by the boss.

I can't get rid of this case, it will definitely cost me my life.

It wasn't until he heard that the newly promoted champion took over the case that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Young people, still too young, must want to make a name for themselves in the capital with this case, but things in the world are not that easy.

It's not his turn to do easy things. If there are people charging ahead, he can hide behind.

If I investigate in the future, I will be able to clear up the blame.

At this moment, a junior official came in quickly from outside and said, "Sir, the newly appointed Master Li from the Metropolitan Procuratorate has asked to see him. He said he has something important to discuss."

"It's him!"

Chen Jiuxing was startled, and the scented tea he just drank in his mouth spurted out. "What did he come to me for?"

"It's said that there is a corpse involved in this case, and we need to ask the policemen from the Ministry of Punishment to do a test."

"Isn't this looking for death?"

Chen Jiuxing jumped up immediately. Who would have thought that this new top scholar was really pretending to be investigated.

Just investigate the case and don't involve me, okay? I don't want to live, but I don't want to die yet.

"Go and tell him that I am dying and am no longer alive, so I can't see him."

"I've already said it, but he won't leave. He said that he has a big case to discuss with the adults. Without the adults' nod, this case cannot be investigated."

The clerk returned: "What's more, he threatened you!"

"How did he threaten me?"

"He said that if the Lord doesn't come forward, he will go outside and spread the news, saying that the Lord is afraid of the soldiers and dare not uphold justice!"

"Asshole, you are helping me spread the news that I am afraid of Rong people. Don't I know it myself?"

However, if he is allowed to act so wantonly, his reputation will be completely ruined, and there is no chance that he will be implicated.

Chen Jiuxing rolled his eyes, and suddenly a plan came to his mind. He took out his seal and said, "Give it to him and say this is my official seal. I am not feeling well now, but my mood of upholding justice has not changed at all. I will be needed in the future." Use this seal instead, and I will always stand with you."

"Yes." The clerk agreed and immediately went down holding the seal.

Seeing this scene, Chen Jiuxing breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly admired his wit.

What I just gave was not my official seal, but my personal seal printed on poems and paintings, which was of no use.

If Yang Liang holds this seal, it will definitely not have any effect, and he might even be laughed out of his wits.

And he successfully got rid of himself from this incident.

Chen Jiuxing hummed a ditty proudly and started to pace with his hands behind his back.

······

Outside the Xingbu Yamen, Yang Liang was rejected.

This scene was expected by Zhang Qian and Qin Wan, and they did not appear too surprised. They just looked at Yang Liang indifferently.

Yang Liang played with the small seal in his hand. It was engraved with the four characters "water and sky, one color", which seemed elegant and interesting.

There was not much disappointment on his face, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go to Dali Temple to try our luck."

Qin Wan and Zhang Qian had already begun to retreat in their hearts. Seeing that it was getting late, they were dragging a corpse around on the street.

"Sir, why don't we just rest like this? We still have to go home for dinner."

Yang Liang saw the two people's morale declining, and he had to encourage them.

He said: "His Royal Highness Prince Fu has assigned us to handle this case. If we give up like this, aren't you afraid of His Highness's reproach?"

"Does His Highness Prince Fu dare to offend the Rong people?" Qin Wan asked curiously.

"Your Highness indeed does not dare, but only if the case is solid and watertight, His Highness Prince Fu will sit back and raise the price. By then, Prince Fu will be able to treat us badly if he has benefited.

Moreover, the imperial court knows that it is sorry for King Fu, so it will also find ways to reward us poor people. "

The more Qin Wan and Zhang Qian listened, the brighter their eyes became. They couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "Sir, that's high!"

Yang Liang calmly waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing, and that he was just focusing on his usual accumulation.
