The morning sun was obliquely shining, and Cui Shilang was carrying one hand behind him, in a quiet courtyard, leisurely feeding his starling.
Under the porch hangs a delicate and elegant birdcage, a black, beaked and bright yellow starling grasps the perch pole with its powerful feet, and the bird's neck pokes out, and it makes a crisp cry: "Hello" Cui Shilang picked up a smear of fried rice mixed with egg whites with feeding stalks, handed it to the starling, and watched it swallow it in one gulp, and the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes softened with a smile.
"Squire" Pi Erding walked in quickly and said to Cui Shilang: "Shilang, Yang Fan has been promoted to the lobby today to ask about the case." ” Cui Shilang said unhurriedly: "Oh, which case is the trial?"
Pi Erding said: "The case of the old woman of the Chang family who beat her daughter-in-law to death. ” Cui Shilang laughed and said, "Let him go."
Who cares about this case now?
” Pi Erding frowned and said: "What kind of case can this person try, it's just nonsense" Cui Shilang pouted and said: "Lai Junchen, a ploppy, Hou Sizhi who sells cakes in the market, can wear vermilion and become an official of the imperial court, what is the great thing about a military general being a civil servant Our female emperor has always been eclectic in employing people." ” Cui Shilang said, scooped up another spoonful of bird food, and "chirped" to tease the starling to eat.
Starling is talking about people, but Cui Shilang is talking about birds, which is also interesting.
Pi Erding said: "Xia Guan just thinks that although Chen Dong doesn't know each other very well, given time, we may not be able to surrender to him, and now that Yang Fan has just arrived at the Criminal Department, he has made such a file, and if he doesn't get it right, our Criminal Department will become the target of public criticism, and the gains will outweigh the losses." ” "There are some things that we can't predict in advance, such as the death of Pan Junyi; There are some things that we know and can't change, just like this Yang Fan came to the Criminal Department to be an official. ” Cui Shilang sighed and said to Pi Erding: "Look at this birdcage, a thick bamboo, cut horizontally and vertically, sawn into a tube, split into pieces, drilled into strips, cut into slivers, drawn into silk, the bamboo skewers and bamboo slivers cross horizontally and vertically, staggered and entangled, it becomes this cage."
It's sturdy, it's gorgeous, it's like our criminal department, this sign, the strip, the piece, it's different, and it's useful, if you rashly take out a bamboo stick or bamboo strip from the inside, bang the whole cage will fall apart."
Cui Shilang turned around, smiled and said to Pi Erding: "The old man also thinks that this martial artist is in the way, and at the beginning he asked Wang Maru to try him, I thought he was a reckless man with no scheming, and he could get out of his way with a little trick, or squat there obediently and say nothing from now on, but he is not stupid." ” Cui Shilang put his hands behind his back, walked towards the hall, and said leisurely: "If the old man wants to kick him out of the criminal department, he naturally has the means, but it is too obvious.
He is the person personally arranged by the emperor, Cui someone is doing this to cover the sky with one hand in the Criminal Department, don't you look at Fu Youyi, Fu Youyi is unlucky, but what happened to the prime ministers who expelled him from the political hall in the first place?"
Pi Erding bowed and said, "Yes" Cui Shilang said lightly: "Let them fight, it's good for any of them to collapse, it's best to collapse together."
As a last resort, the old man came to clean up the mess again.
As for you, don't worry, this criminal department will be yours sooner or later."
At noon, when the kitchen was opened, the entire criminal court knew that Yang Fan had tried the case of the old woman of the Chang family who beat and killed her daughter-in-law, and had already made a verdict: completely overturn all the judgments made by Chen Dong before and sentence the old woman of the Chang family to death There was a faint undercurrent surging in the criminal court, but no one reacted obviously, because the focus now was on the murder of Pan Junyi.
Chen Dong sneered secretly: "It doesn't matter if the old lady of the Chang family dies or not, the question is, in the second case, how do you judge that the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are confronting, and King Wei and King Liang are also confronting, no matter which side you tend towards, the other side will pounce on you like a pack of mad dogs, see how you deal with it" Everyone didn't expect that Yang Fan, who was still sitting under the laurel tree at noon and chatting with a group of scribes, was calm and calm, and began to try the case of Pan Junyi's murder that afternoon, and the verdict was pronounced on the spot, and the verdict was even more unexpected by everyone.
The verdict of Dali Temple is: Chang Zhiyuan should be Pan Junyi's fate.
The impeachment of the imperial envoy is: Dali Temple judged the case unfairly, there was a suspicion of protection between officials and officials, and the crimes of the children of the Chang family were unforgivable, and the circumstances were excusable, and the crime should be reduced by one degree and sentenced to exile.
Yang Fan's verdict was: Chang Zhiyuan was not guilty of murder The news exploded like a thunderbolt throughout the Torture House.
Hearing that Yang Fan began to try the case of Pan Junyi's murder, Cui Shilang, who became no longer calm, has been waiting for news in the official room, and when Pi Erding rushed into the official room in a hurry and reported the verdict to Cui Yuanzong, Cui Yuanzong got carried away for a while and pulled off a few beards.
Lao Cui said angrily: "Yang Fan is playing with fire" Luo Ling, who had been waiting for news outside the lobby, also ran back and reported Yang Fan's verdict to Chen Dong, who was stunned for a long time before he spit out a sentence: "He is playing with fire" Chen Dong hurriedly walked around the room, Yang Fan was going crazy, he wanted to kill himself, he was naturally happy to see it, but he was going to burn out a big hole on this day, who would block it for him until Yang Langzhong was finished at that time, wouldn't he Chen Langzhong rub his ass for others Among the three law divisions, now the strength of the criminal department is the weakest, although Junchen has collapsed, but the residual power of the imperial envoy has not been dispersed for a while, Dali Temple was originally with the criminal department, and joined hands to resist the imperial envoy, and now Yang Fan directly offended the imperial envoy and the criminal department, this Chen Dong thought hard for a long time, felt that he should take precautions, and prepare early, so he wanted to go to see Cui Shilang and discuss a countermeasure with him, so as not to be in a hurry.
Who knew that when he arrived at Cui Shilang's office, but saw that the room was empty, Chen Dong asked the scribe at Cui Shilang's office: "Where did Shilang go?"
The scribe replied respectfully, "The squire occasionally felt unwell and went back to his house to rest." ” Chen Dong let out an "oh" and turned around to leave, and the scribe said: "The good teacher knows that the waiter has sent someone to the political hall to take leave, and he will probably not be able to come in the next few days." ” Chen Dong was stunned, and cursed fiercely in his heart: "This old turtle" Early the next morning, it coincided with the tenth meeting of the Criminal Department.
Cui Shilang is not there, and Yang Fan has the highest position in the Criminal Department, so he will preside over this decade.
It was the first time that Yang Fan's office was so lively, and several Lang Zhong came.
Sun Yuxuan and Yan Xiaojun were the first to arrive, although Yang Fan was a little crazy now, but they couldn't be implicated anyway, the two of them had no pressure, since they had already shown favor to Yang Fan, let's continue to cheer before he falls.
Pi Erding was the third to arrive, and Cui Shilang was "sick", which meant that his faction would be completely upset and tossed by Yang Fan.
So Pi Erding was noncommittal, and he couldn't talk about Leng Yangfan's field.
Chen Dong's signing room is opposite Yang Fan, a stone's throw away, but he is the last to arrive, Yang Fan is not for himself, and when he sits, he coughed and said: "The waiter is unwell and has taken leave from the political hall."
In the few days when the waiter was away, Yang presided over the affairs of the Criminal Department.
Today is the tenth meeting, Feng is in charge" Feng Xihui understood, immediately picked up the file and read it, Yang Fan deliberately put the two cases he handled yesterday at the end, and waited until the previous cases were discussed, Feng Xihui mentioned the two cases he had just handled yesterday, and the office immediately fell silent, leaving only Feng Xihui's voice.
After Feng Xihui finished speaking, Yang Fan said: "What do you think about these two cases?"
Pi Erding, Sun Yuxuan, and Yan Xiaojun all looked at Chen Dong, Chen Dong frowned, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Is Yang Langzhong more cautious?"
Yang Fan said with a smile: "Chen Langzhong thinks that what is wrong with the judgment of this official?"
Chen Dong was silent again, silent for a long time, smiled bitterly, and shook his head gently.
Yang Fan smiled: "Since there is nothing to say, then it will be passed like this" Everyone was still speechless, Yang Fan clapped his hands and said: "Okay, everyone Langzhong should go back, Cui Shilang has been absent from the Yali for a few days, we have to maintain this criminal department, lest Shilang come back to find us trouble, haha, please go back" Pi Erding, Sun Yuxuan, and Yan Xiaojun didn't say much, got up and arched their hands to him, and left without a word.
Chen Dong was still sitting there, his face gloomy.
Yang Fan stared at him and asked, "Chen Langzhong, do you still have something to say to me?"
Chen Dong hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "Chen once tried a case back then. ” "Oh" Yang Fan raised his eyebrows and sat down slowly.
Chen Dong squinted, didn't look at Yang Fan, just stared at the hall pillar opposite, and said leisurely: "At that time, Chen was working as a judge in Ruzhou.
Once, the two brothers came to the yamen to fight a lawsuit, but because their father died, the two brothers wanted to rob the mansion left by their father.
The two brothers, one was born to the old man's ex-wife, and the other was born to Xu Xian, both of them are sons-in-law, each has its own reason, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, Chen was also young at that time, and in the face of such a case, he couldn't judge it clearly for a while.
The two brothers came to the yamen every day to quarrel."
Chen Dong sighed, and then said: "The two brothers quarreled and red-eyed, coming and going, like a feud.
As a result, between the words, some secrets that are not enough for outsiders are gradually revealed, although they don't say much, but Chen heard something strange. ” Yang Fan was a very qualified listener, and immediately asked: "What secret?"

Chen Dongdao: "It turned out that their deceased father was the leader of a well-known local thief gang, and their family had a huge amount of wealth, so they naturally obtained it by this illegal means.
As a result, they naturally didn't get the mansion, not only did they not get the mansion, but everything they had was gone. ” Chen Dong smiled, stroked his beard and said: "Yang Langzhong, do you know why Chen was transferred from a small judge in Ruzhou to the capital and transferred to the Criminal Department, step by step to today, it is because Chen has solved this big case."
Chen Dong stood up slowly, glanced at Yang Fan deeply, arched his hand slightly, and said meaningfully: "Yang Langzhong, you are so self-conscious."
Yang Fan stood up and watched him walk outside the door, but he also smiled slightly: "It's a wonderful person."
