Chapter 295: Prison Litigation Review

When the Sun Mansion was in a state of chaos, Sun Shaozong was also not idle as the Minister of Punishment.

Yesterday, when he came to the government office, he was preparing to conduct a tour around the place. He was unexpectedly delayed due to the Ma Yingjue case. It was now the 28th, he had to check and fill in any gaps.

So he arrived at the Inquisition Department early and summoned Lin Delu and various officials to conduct a surprise inspection.

Even the accumulated malpractice has been completely cured.

The only thing that made Sun Shaozong dissatisfied was the prison under the control of Zhou Da.

This guy probably knew that he had already reached the pinnacle of his life by being promoted to the eighth-grade prison official, so he was relaxed.

Normally, the affairs in this prison were left to the care of the officials, Bao Yongmeng and Minister Nier, who only indulged in extravagance and pleasure every day.

Sun Shaozong's face darkened as he inspected the area.

Later, Zhou Da and the three of them were all trembling with fear. Seeing Sun Shaozong pull a stool and sit down at the entrance of the cell, the three of them immediately knelt with a thud.

Sun Shaozong didn't look at them with a straight eye but only asked Lin Delu beside him, "Look at the torture tools in this prison, are they a bit old?

Hmm

Lin Delu didn't know what he meant by this, let alone carefully examine the old and new tools of torture. He could only vaguely say, "It seems that Im a bit careless in maintenance, but the tools of torture can still be used.

Can it work?

Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "Why does it look like it cant be used anymore?

As he spoke, he didn't wait for Lin Delu to respond again before he spoke up and ordered, "Official Zhou, go and pick up a few pieces for me to see.

Zhou Da quickly got up, picked up a few commonly used torture tools, and carefully presented them with both hands.

Sun Shaozong glanced and saw that there were three types, a whip, a clamp, and a soldering iron. He nodded and said, "Each of you chooses one. Let me demonstrate it to you, and let me see if these things are really useful.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Da's hands trembled, and the torture tool fell to the ground with a loud crash.

Yongmeng trembled like chaff in fear and couldn't help but raise his neck to distinguish, "Your Excellency, I haven't been here for less than a month, and I haven't done anything against the law and discipline.

Although Nier was a corrupt and lawless person, he still had some sense of responsibility in his life. He also straightened his chest and exclaimed, "Yes, these things were all done by me, and it has nothing to do with Lao Bao and Lord Zhou. If the Master wants to punish them, you can only punish me.

Sun Shaozong raised his foot and kicked him upside down with a sneer, saying, "Before you did anything, why didn't you think about whether you might be implicated by your colleagues and superiors? Now you're acting like a hero! Alright, I'll do it for you. First, demonstrate these three types of torture tools one by one, then find a cell and lock yourself up for a year and a half.

As he spoke, he raised his voice and said, "Zhou Da.

Yes Im here.

As a prison warden, you are not strict in your management. Go and take on twenty lashes yourself, and every whip must show blood before it counts.

Also, if he is released from prison after six months, you will be fined one year; if he is released from prison after one year, you will be fined for six months. Let me see how valuable your loyalty is.

As he spoke, Sun Shaozong turned his gaze to Bao Yongmeng and said, "Considering that you have just arrived and have never participated in it, go and take on five lashes and a fine of a monthly salary.

The three of them, regardless of whether they were obedient or not, didnt dare argue anything in front of him and obediently agreed.

Sun Shaozong also didn't want to watch the bloody execution scene, leaving behind two subordinate officials and supervisors, he took Lin Delu and others out of the prison.

When they arrived outside, they saw that the sky was approaching noon, but there was still some time before dinner. Sun Shaozong called Lin Delu and asked, "Is there any other place that hasn't been inspected yet?

Lin Delu hurriedly said, "Report to Your Excellency, all parts of the department have been turned around. But according to the rules of previous years, you may have to inspect in Daxing and Wanping counties.

This was clearly a bit far away.

Sun Shaozong immediately gave up the idea of continuing the inspection, shouted to the officials, gave them a few words of encouragement, and ordered them not to slack off and be ready for the inspection of the Ministry of Justice at any time. He then announced the dissolution on the spot.

At that time, there might not have been an inconspicuous person who dared to criticize Sun Shaozong. After all, the former inspector died in his hands!

As Sun Shaozong walked slowly back to the Criminal Investigation Department, he had originally wanted to rest and have some tea. However, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the living room, where two groups of servants were waiting honestly.

One of them was sent by Zhao Zhongji to report the good news; As for the other one

Lord Sun, I am from Young Master Xue's residence on Zijin Street. My Lord was just promoted to the position of Minister of Communications yesterday, so tonight we will have a banquet to celebrate. Please be sure to come along.

The servant of the Xue family said this and presented a post with both hands.

Xue Pan's promotion to the Communication Department?

Minister Wang's efficiency was not a joke!

Or rather, this green hat was not worn for nothing.

Taking the invitation and flipping through it, Sun Shaozong casually asked, "Where did Assistant Magistrate Wei go? Have you ever sent a post to him?

I have never sent any posts to Assistant Magistrate Wei.

The servant apologized and said, "When we went out, our Lord specifically explained that you are the only one in the Central Judicial Office to invite, and we won't invite anyone else.

It was obvious that he was on Sun Shaozong's side, trying to help push out Wei Ruolan.

It was inappropriate.

Sun Shaozong shook his head and shook the gilded post in his hand, saying, "It would be fine if it were in other places. Since it is a banquet held at Dingxiang Tower, inviting me over to drink but leaving out Wei Ruolan, isnt that deliberately offending him? Your Master has just entered the officialdom and started to cause himself so much trouble..."

As he spoke, he said unquestionably, "Go back and ask your Master to write two more invitations, one for Assistant Magistrate Wei and one for Inspector Qiu. Tell him that if he doesn't follow suit, I won't join the fun tonight.

The servant listened to him thinking about his Master, thankfully responded, and hurriedly returned to report to Xue Pan without mentioning it.

He had sent away the servants of the Xue family, and Sun Shaozong then called his own servants closer and inquired about the ranking of Yu Qian and Sun Chengtao in the palace examination.

Regardless of Yu Qian's rank, based on the strategy of secretly belittling the Emperor, he was undoubtedly the third tier.

He must be showing off now.

That's right.

The servant had already finished reporting, but suddenly remembered an unrelated matter and casually mentioned, "When I was going out, I ran into the convoy of Rongguo Mansion. I heard the Second Madam Lian from Rongguo Mansion come to visit our Elder Madam.The most update n0vels are published on novelenglish.net . (ꜰ)ire.ɴet

Wang Xifeng went to her yard?

Unfortunately, yesterday he was busy talking heart-to-heart with Yingchun and forgot to remind her about it. Otherwise, he could have asked her to agree first. The two brothers would sing the double reed and try to negotiate with Wang Xifeng as much as possible.
