Dayong Nu sentenced to death

The day the Supreme Emperor was buried.

The coffin went out from the Zhuque Gate, went out of the South Gate via Tianjie Street, and went to the Royal Cemetery, where all the officials sent it off.

Send the coffin into the imperial mausoleum.

With the closure of Shimen, there was a deep bang, and the great funeral that lasted for several days finally came to an end temporarily, and everything in the court began to return to normal.

It's just that Donggong was too sad, and after returning from the imperial mausoleum, he couldn't afford to be ill.

His Majesty ordered the imperial hospital to take good care of them, and handed over many government affairs to the second prince for disposal. For a while, the second prince's momentum rose greatly, and he seemed to be on par with the East Palace.

"grown ups."

Su Rao was processing official documents at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and Shen Zhibai had just submitted a batch of local death penalty lists, which needed to be approved for use.

Before she had time to open it, Xun Zeli came in and sent a message, "The Ministry of Industry asked He Min for an interview."

The yamen of the Ministry of Punishment has small officials and clerks who specialize in passing messages, but Xun Zeli and the others are used to doing it by themselves when they are in charge of punishment, so when they arrive at the Ministry of Punishment, they are still in charge of trivial matters around Su Rao.

This case is well-known in the six yamen.

Caused a lot of discussion.

Su Rao asked in surprise, "Why did the people from the Ministry of Industry come to see me?"

Even so, she still said casually: "Master He, please come over."

Xun Zeli glanced at the other officials in the hall, and said in a low voice, "Master He said that he wants to discuss something with you alone."

A strange look appeared in Su Rao's eyes, she thought for a while, "Then invite him to the East Hall for tea, and I'll be there later."

"it is good."

Xun Zeli turned around and went to work.

Tu Yao, who was not far away from the criminal department, heard the conversation between the two, put down his pen and stood up, walked to the front of the case and said softly to Su Rao: "My lord, this Lord He Minhe is under the second prince's sect. He is coming here at this time. The person who came is not kind." ah."

The implication is to make her be more careful.

Su Rao thanked him for the reminder, and after sorting out the documents on the table, she turned to the East Hall.

The East Hall was used by the Ministry of Criminal Justice to entertain visitors. At this time, only one person was sitting and drinking tea, and his eyes drifted outside from time to time.

"Master He has been waiting for a long time."

Su Rao entered the east hall and bowed her hands to salute, He Min hurriedly got up to return the salute, led her to sit down before sitting down, said with a smile: "Where, the Ministry of Criminal Justice is busy with work, Mr. Su can find time to meet with you in his busy schedule, I am very pleased." gratitude."

After the two of you came and went to each other politely.

Close the topic.

"Lord Su's time is precious, so I won't go around in circles, and just speak up when I have something to say."

He Min looked at Su Rao, saw her nodding, and said straight to the point: "This time, the official hastily came to the door because of a case..."

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice has not received any cases related to the Ministry of Industry."

Su Rao lowered her eyes and chuckled, "Could it be that Mr. He made a mistake? According to the usual practice, the cases involving the six departments should be tried jointly by the three departments."

He Min's words suddenly choked up. She didn't know if she did it on purpose or if she really didn't know, so she smiled embarrassingly, "It has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry."

"Oh~"

Su Rao suddenly realized, "If it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry, it is a private matter..."

"Um, yes, it's a private matter."

He Min wiped his forehead uncomfortably, took the opportunity to cover up the strange color on his face, and was just about to speak, when he heard the opposite party speak again, "It seems that it is a very important private matter, which can make Mr. He come to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment at this hour. .”

Absent from duty while on duty.

Use power for personal gain.

This is indeed not something righteous and honorable. After asking a few words in a row, He Min's heart was pounding, but he didn't know where to start.

At this time, Su Rao smiled, "Master He said earlier that it was a private matter, so I don't have to be so nervous."

As she spoke, she softened her body a little, leaned on the back of the grand master's chair and said with a smile: "There have been a lot of happy events in Shengjing recently, so it's possible that Mr. He is also here to deliver the post."

"Is it the elders in the family celebrating the birthday, or the children and sisters getting married?"

"neither."

He Min heard that her words were unreliable, as if she was really talking about it on a daily basis, and she couldn't help grinding her teeth. I knew that this female minister was not easy to get along with, and her ramblings made people unable to understand. Pleading for mercy, it is quite tormented on the fire.

But this matter cannot be ignored.

He Min bit the bullet and said: "Master Su is just joking, how dare you bother him with these trivial matters, the matter you want to talk about is actually a business matter."

After the words fell, Dongtang fell silent.

Su Rao pursed her lips and said nothing, she still had a smile on her face, but the smile made people feel confused, the hairs on He Min's back subconsciously stood up after being teased by her like this.

"Master Su..."

Su Rao interrupted him unhurriedly, "It's both a business matter and a private matter. Didn't Mr. He come to ask me to go through the back door?"

He Min's face froze, how should he answer these words?
If he said yes, he wouldn't want this face, if he said no, then she would definitely take advantage of the slope to get off the donkey and stop the conversation directly.

In this way, it is difficult to explain over there.

"Master Su, in fact, this matter..."

"This is going to be difficult. If I can make it easier for me at the side, now..."

Su Rao didn't give her a chance to speak, and said to herself: "You also know that I'm a female official, the government and the public are quite critical of this, and the excerpts that Yushitai participated in were thrown on my head like snowflakes. .”

"A few days ago, I found no results in the case of General Xie's assassination outside the city, and because of this, I offended Xiyantai, so His Majesty detained me in the palace and reprimanded me. Outsiders regard my Shangshu as a glorious book. It's hard work and rewarding." Only you can experience it.”

She moaned and complained.

He Min heard her temples swell and her veins twitched. She started to complain when he said something. After sitting for a long time, she didn't finish a single word of serious business.

Just listen to her nonsense.

There was no way to refute these words, He Min knew from the situation that she didn't intend to go through this back door, so she answered vaguely and left holding back her anger.

Seeing how he panicked when he went out, and how hard he slammed his shoulder on the door leaf, he was very angry.

After talking for a long time, Su Rao's mouth was dry, and she poured herself a cup of tea to moisten her throat.

Xun Zeli watched He Min walk out of the yamen, quickly entered the east hall, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency refused?"

"No."

"Then why did he leave in a huff?"

Su Rao simply recounted the conversation just now, Xun Zeli laughed so hard, he calmed down after a while, and sat opposite Su Rao, "Does your lord know why he came here at this time?"

"why?"

"Because of the batch of case files that were submitted just now."

Su Rao raised her eyebrows slightly, "What does the local case have to do with him?"

"Not with him, but with his master."

Xun Zeli smiled at Su Rao mysteriously, and Su Rao was even more puzzled, "You mean the Second Prince?"

"Yes."

Xun Zeli patted the table excitedly, leaned closer to her, and said in a low voice: "The second prince's mother and concubine are from the Nalan clan, and many of the clan's children have entered official positions, and one of them, named Nalan Changfeng, returned with a fourth-rank honor The homeland has become a big local gentry."

"Then?"

"Master Nalan occupied people's fields and caused a death. The family of the deceased filed a complaint with the county government, but the magistrate refused to accept the case. Then, just in time, the inspector came here to find out the case. Nalan Changfeng was imprisoned. The witnesses were preserved."

"People from the Nalan family found the family, so He Min came here."
