Rise From the Humble

Get first-level verification?

This was not good news. Zhao Daying felt a little uneasy in his heart. Whether those heads were Tatars or the old, young, women and children of Liujia Village. No one knew the facts better than him. After all, he personally led the troops to "borrow" those heads from Liujiacun.

At that time, he bribed his wife and shaved his head into a Tatar look, but the men, women and children could still be distinguished from each other. It is impossible for the Tatars to have women and children when they fight.

In addition, although the heads were somewhat dehydrated when preserved, people who knew them well could still recognize them. Not to mention, Liu Dadao and the others are from Liujia Village.

The more Zhao Daying thought about it, the more uneasy he became.

"Master Zhang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of War. I would like to apply to have the head of Zhao Daying, who reported his meritorious service last year, to be taken for identification." Zhu Ping'an handed over his hand and applied to Zhang Gu, the right minister of the Ministry of War, who was in the presiding seat of the court, "This is The key point in this case is, please give your order.”

"Well, the heads that Zhao Daying presented at that time were indeed sealed in the warehouse of the Ministry of War." Zhang Gu paused in the middle of his words in the court, and then continued, "However, these heads are not within the scope of my duties. "

Zhang Gu did not agree or refuse, but left Zhu Pingan there. This is a commonly used tactic of pushing in officialdom. You push me, I push him. If you push three, two, five, things will go wrong. Zhang Gu obviously knows this well.

"The lower official applies to the court for identification of the head. This is the responsibility of the court."

Zhu Ping'an once again held up his hands and insisted, I don't care whether you have jurisdiction over your duties or not. The "Da Ming Law" makes it very clear that if the parties apply for the court to collect evidence, the court should collect it ex officio.

"This" Zhang Gu was a little embarrassed.

When Zhang Gu was in trouble in the hall, Yan Shifan in the auditorium smiled slightly, lowered his head and whispered a few words to Zhao Qiu beside him, and then saw Zhao Qiu nodding his head repeatedly and scanning Zhu Ping'an with his peripheral vision. A glance revealed a sinister smile on his lips.

"The treasury of the Ministry of Justice is under my jurisdiction. Since Zhu Ping'an wants to verify his head, I will satisfy you. With this seal, you can go to the treasury of the Ministry of War, check the booklet, and get the head to verify your identity. "

Zhao Qiu stood up, took out a seal from his waist, and handed it to the attendant standing beside him, who handed it to the chief judge of the court.

uncle?

When Zhao Daying heard this, he turned to Zhao Qiu anxiously, but saw Zhao Qiu giving him a calm look.

In an instant, Zhao Daying was enlightened and suddenly realized.

Yes, what do I have to worry about? The treasuries where the heads are located are all controlled by my uncle. It would be easy to change the civet cat for the prince, and so on. Not to mention fifty-nine heads, but five hundred and ninety-nine heads. That's just a matter of words.

After thinking about it, Zhao Daying became more confident. He looked at Zhu Ping'an unscrupulously and said sarcastically, "If you want to verify the head, then do it. That is, Mr. Zhu, you have to be mentally prepared, that head can be... It’s not the Four Books and Five Classics, just don’t be frightened by the heads when the time comes.”

Well

Zhu Ping'an raised his head and glanced at Zhao Daying, slightly startled.

"In that case, it's time for Zhang Captou to lead someone to get the head." After Zhang Gu received the seal, he nodded, took out the seal and the seal, and gave them to Zhang Captou from the Ministry of Punishment, ordering him to Go to the Ministry of War and get the head.

"Zhang Captou and the others are going to get the head. My lords, let's take advantage of this time to have some simple meals. As the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. My lords, I, the Punishment Department, cannot bear this responsibility. I, the Punishment Department, The food is not as good as the delicacies and beauty on the jade plates outside, but it is better than the large portions and fillings. Please treat me, my lords."

He Ao, the Minister of Punishment, ordered a servant to go to the presiding seat and whisper a few words to Wang Xueyi, and then Wang Xueyi stood up and said to everyone with a smile.

"Master Wang is joking."

"After hearing what Mr. Wang said, I'm really hungry, so we have to be respectful and obey."

"Haha, we also take this opportunity to taste the food of the Punishment Department. The chef of the Punishment Department is famous among our six yamen."

All the officials present in the courtroom stood up and responded.

Well

Zhu Pingan.

So, everyone reached an agreement. Chief Zhang of the Criminal Department led the officers to the Military Department to collect the head. Everyone would take this time to have lunch, and then continue the meeting after finishing the meal.

The chef of the Criminal Department had already processed the ingredients, and was waiting for the order from the court to pass on the meal. An agreement was reached here, and the meals from the kitchen of the Criminal Department were brought out in plates, with meat and vegetables mixed together. Four dishes and one soup, piping hot.

People speak softly.

Zhu Pingan stood there, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Just now, Zhu Ping'an noticed that Zhao Qiu, the left minister of the Ministry of War, summoned the accompanying officials and explained a few words, and then the officials dared to go out in a hurry in front of Zhang Captou.

Needless to say, the head must have been tampered with.

There was nothing he could do, even if he noticed this, he had nothing to do. He could only watch Zhao Qiu and the others make trouble.

Even if he followed Zhang Captou to the Ministry of War to get his head, he couldn't stop Zhao Qiu and the others from doing anything. They have plenty of ways to do tricks. When they go to the Ministry of War with Zhang Captou, they will definitely have to go through some procedures, and this time is enough for them to do tricks.

However, I have considered this before, and hope that the historical records are not wrong.

"What's wrong, Master Zhu? Why don't you eat?"

While Zhu Pingan was stunned, Zhao Daying, who was at the auditorium table, walked over with a chicken drumstick in his hand and took a bite of the chicken drumstick in front of Zhu Pingan, chewing it while smiling sarcastically.

You laugh so happily and eat so heartily. But you may be happy too early.

Zhu Pingan raised his head, glanced at him, and replied lightly, "Mr. Zhao, are you riding backwards?"

Grass!

Come again! You wait for Zhu Pingan, and you will cry after dinner!

Zhao Daying's face suddenly darkened, the smile on his face stiffened, and the chicken in his mouth suddenly became boring! He glared hard at Zhu Pingan, his eyes full of resentment.

Come with good fortune and return with bad luck.

This was probably Zhao Daying's mentality at the moment. Zhao Daying wanted to ridicule Zhu Ping'an, but was disappointed and returned to his table angrily.

There are four dishes and one soup on each table for lunch, and four or five officials share the table. The strict party, Li party, and neutral people can always share the table. Zhu Pingan is an exception. Other officials have no considerations and concerns of one kind or another. People came over to share the table with Zhu Pingan.

So, Zhu Ping'an was alone, occupying a table by himself, enjoying four dishes and one soup to himself.

"There's no one around. Just in time, you guys are enjoying your meal, Da Dao, so come over and eat together. The table is a bit small, so we can fit it even if we are crowded."

Zhu Ping'an looked at the table alone and smiled, then waved to Liu Mu and Liu Dadao and invited them to sit at the table and eat together.

Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and the others were not officials, so the kitchen of the Ministry of Punishment only gave them two steamed buns each. It's good now, no need to chew the steamed buns anymore.
