Your Majesty is so cute

Chapter 136 Assistant of the Ministry of Punishments
Ministry of Punishment.

Even though it was the end of the new year, it was still the tenth day of the new year, and the Ministry of Punishment's mansion seemed extremely cold, and there were not too many people.Even so, today should be the time when there are the most people. At least a few of the chief ministers and the principals are in the Ministry of Punishment, but their faces are not very good. There are things to come.

"The Fifth Prince is here." A loud and clear voice from outside caught the attention of several middle-aged officials who were talking with each other in the main hall with a bad complexion.

Several people lined up in a line according to the size of their official positions. At the front was an old man wearing a tall hat, about fifty or sixty, with a small goatee and gray hair. He was the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.The one at the bottom of the line is naturally the little official who is not on the line. Huang Heyi, who has been in a quiet state and has never talked to anyone, is because he was on duty that day and happened to be the one who went to the scene of the crime. To be qualified to stand here.

As soon as the voice of shouting outside fell, Dong Lie stepped into the room. He was wearing a purple court dress, and the totem on it made Dong Lie very handsome.

"Your Majesty has met the Fifth Prince." The people in that row bowed neatly and shouted slogans.

It wasn't until Dong Lie said, "Get up." Those people straightened up.

Dong Lie looked around, and then said: "Presumably, my lords should have obtained the order of the King of Dongjiang. The murder incident in the West Street Gallery has had a huge impact. After the investigation before, please forgive me and help." After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands politely.

The middle-aged man with a white beard standing at the front of the line took a step forward, bowed his hands and said, "Fifth Prince, as you said, the Ministry of Punishment has received the order of the King of Dongjiang. The officials will definitely do their best. Do your best to solve this case, and ask the fifth prince to appoint an official as your assistant, so that you can be familiar with the case handling process of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and solve the case as soon as possible."

Dong Lie nodded and said: "This king came here precisely because he needed to hand over the case, and what Master Wen said makes sense." After speaking, he looked around, and said: "Is it true that all the people present belong to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. "

Master Wen nodded and said: "The people present are all the chief minister's mansion and the principal, all of whom have rich experience. As long as the prince needs it, they can assist the prince."

"Okay, that's the case." Dong Lie didn't hesitate, stretched out his hand, pointed straight to the end of the team, and said, "That's him."

Everyone looked in the direction of Dong Lie's finger, and that finger was pointing at the last one in the team, that is, Huang Heyi, the only official in charge present.

When Master Wen saw it, he felt bad immediately, and hurriedly turned around and said, "My lord, this is impossible. Then Master Huang is only an official, and he is not experienced in handling such cases directly assigned by the King of Eastern Xinjiang. It's not the prince's favor, and he's just serving as a transfer officer, and, and."

Dong Lie interrupted Mr. Wen, pretending to be puzzled and said: "Oh, Mr. Huang is not an official of the Ministry of Punishment?"

"This, this is not." Master Wen twitched the corner of his mouth, and replied awkwardly: "Yes, but him."

"Since you are an official of the Ministry of Punishment, it's fine. The imperial father's order also said that the king should appoint an official of the Ministry of Punishment to assist him. He didn't say what position he must take. Besides, Mr. Wen, didn't you also say that anyone in this room is fine? Let's talk about it." , He has been to the scene of the crime, so he should be more helpful to the king. Well, Mr. Wen, it is decided like this."

"This, alas, yes, my lord." Lord Wen sighed and stopped talking.

Because Dong Lie made a decision, the rest of the people had to leave.Those who were not selected to resign, except Mr. Wen, the faces of the other officials were much more relaxed than before.

While going back in groups, several principals who seemed to be familiar with Mr. Wen followed up and said to Mr. Wen: "Mr. Wen, don't worry too much. This case itself is not easy to investigate. Not appointing you is not a bad thing. If the result is not good, just let Huang Heyi leave, and save trouble."

"Oh, you don't understand. I'm afraid of some trouble. The prince just came to Dongjiang, and Huang Heyi is a stubborn boy. I'm really afraid that the two fledglings don't understand the rules of the officialdom. , causing trouble."

"The point we should pay attention to is that Mr. Wen doesn't have to worry about it."

"Oh, that's the only way to go." Master Wen sighed and walked towards the gate of the Ministry of Punishment.

"My lord." Huang Heyi obviously did not expect today's scene.Although he became an official, but because of his upright character and a bit critical approach to work, the colleagues around him don't like him, especially those chief officials.Offending my superiors, my chances of promotion are naturally much less. I was called here today because I was the official who took over the case that day. After the handover, I have nothing to do with myself, but I didn't expect that I would be named by the prince and become the prince's assistant. .If this matter is done well, promotion is very likely.

Although this case is, indeed, difficult!

"Master Huang, we meet again." Dong Lie looked at Huang Heyi with a smile, and Dong Lie didn't exchange pleasantries, and directly stepped into the topic: "I heard that Master Huang has had an autopsy done?"

Huang Heyi discussed the case, and naturally replied with a serious face: "Return to the lord, yes. The result of the autopsy shows that the gallery owner died from a wound on his neck, that is, from excessive bleeding. The wound, Wu Zuo thinks , the bite mark of a large beast."

Dong Lie nodded, thought for a while, and said to Huang He: "I wonder if Mr. Huang can tell me about the situation that day in detail."

"Naturally." Huang Heyi cupped his hands and said, "That day, the official was on duty at the Ministry of Criminal Justice. A patrolling soldier reported that there was a murder case in West Street, so he went to investigate, and then he met the prince. After the prince left, he took the body away. Pulled back to the Ministry of Punishment, invited Wu to do the inspection, came to a conclusion, and reported it to the head of the Ministry of Punishment. The head asked the subordinate not to continue the inspection, and everything will be reported to the king of Dongjiang. The rest, the prince should be all understood."

Dong Lie nodded, and said, "So, you only have the inspection certificate made by Wu at present?"

"Yes."

"Any other clues?"

Huang Heyi raised his head to meet Dong Lie's gaze, frowning, as if hesitating for something.

"If Master Huang, if you find anything or suspect anything, you can tell this king. I will definitely not pursue it, and there is no one else here." Dong Lie said: "Besides, Master Huang should also understand that Lin'an How come there are any large beasts in the city. The inspection book written by you, I also saw from the King of Dongjiang, such a large wound and paw print, if it is not a beast the size of a tiger, it should not be possible."

Huang Heyi's eyes seemed to agree with Dong Lie's words, and he said hesitantly: "Actually, the idea of ​​the lower official is the same as that of the prince. The lower official thinks, how can such a big beast be hidden in Lin'an City? It can't be that the tiger in the painting really jumped out to kill people. So I still doubt whether this is man-made. However, because I don't have authority, I can't continue to investigate."

Dong Lie nodded in satisfaction and said, "Then I will give you this permission to continue the investigation!"

When Huang He heard it, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord, I will do my best to live up to your lord's expectations."

"You are not for this king, but for Dongjiang, and also for the deceased." Dong Lie helped Huang Heyi up and said, "I wonder if it is convenient for Master Huang to let this king take a look at the picture of the tiger descending the mountain? "

"Naturally, my lord please."
