The Prime Minister's Mansion was built during the reign of Emperor Gaozu. It was located on the east side of Weiyang Palace, and it was across the street. It was just after leaving Weiyang Palace.

Zhou Yafu rushed to the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw people coming and going in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Officials and officials ran back and forth to handle political affairs. One after another, the government orders were sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the government orders were sent to various parts of the empire.

"Have you met the Prime Minister!"

The officials who were coming and going saluted Zhou Yafu. Zhou Yafu did not ask a few questions as usual, but waved his hand and hurried into the mansion.

The palace became even busier. The prime minister's subordinates, officials, chief officials, officials, officials, and officials, and all the officials were responsible for their duties. Although the prime minister's government had many government affairs, they were orderly.

"I've seen the Prime Minister!" Si Zhi Cao Qi saluted Zhou Yafu: "Prime Minister, the government affairs in various places have been sorted out. Please check it out."

According to Zhou Yafu's habit, when the court comes back, he will have to deal with the political affairs reported from all over the country. Si Zhi has to prepare before he comes back. When the court comes back, he will deal with the political affairs. This is Zhou Yafu's practice, but today it was broken: "You can deal with it first, I have something to deal with it first."

"Prime Minister, this is an urgent report from the border. The Xiongnu raided Yanmen. Feng Jing, the prefect of Yanmen, requested to dispatch reinforcements. Yanmen's lonely city was besieged by tens of Xiongnu cavalry. If there were no reinforcements, there would be changes." Cao Qi hurriedly reminded.

Zhou Yafu had to wait and browse the tip: "Yanmen is at a critical point, and the Huns must not be defeated. If Yanmen is broken, the Huns will march straight into the hinterland and plunder the hinterland. He sent the order to Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi, and asked him to rush to help at night."

"No!" Cao Qi took the order and handed over another article.

Zhou Yafu took a look: "There is no hurry to deal with this matter later."

Ignoring Cao Qi's reaction and hurried away. Looking at Zhou Yafu's back, Cao Qi was stunned for a while: "What's wrong with the Prime Minister today? In the past, he did not eat or sleep to handle official duties!"

Zhou Yafu summoned Chen Shang, and the two entered the house and closed the door. Zhou Yafu asked, "Chen Shang, do you think Yang'er may be wronged?"

In Zhou Yafu's mouth, Zhou Yang was a rebellious son, and now he has become "Yang'er". He has been promoted too quickly. Chen Shang did not understand his intention: "Prime Minister, I am not sure, please let the Prime Minister speak out."

"Chen Shang, you have followed me since Xiliu and quelled the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. With the achievements you have established, you can be a general. However, if you don't want to be a general, you would rather surrender to my guard. Zhou Yafu thanked me." Zhou Yafu clasped his fists and bowed.

"The Prime Minister's gift is a shame to Chen Shang." Chen Shang hurriedly returned the gift: "Chen Shang follows the Prime Minister, and he respects the Prime Minister. With his misty body, Chen Shang can follow the Prime Minister, and he will have no regrets in his life!"

Zhou Yafu was extremely pleased. He patted Chen Shang's shoulder, said something about the court, and asked, "Do you think Yang'er is wronged?"

Chen Shang frowned and pondered for a moment: "Prime Minister, please forgive Chen Shang for his courage. I always feel that the young master has become different from the past few days. In the past, the young master was just a fun boy who liked to fight cocks and dogs and had fun, but now the young master is brave and knowledgeable. The good teacher learned that when I went to invite the young master yesterday, the young master scolded me twice. Once he called me a pig, and once he asked me to get out."

"Nothing! He is so bold! Chen Shang, Zhou Yang is ignorant and offended many times..." Zhou Yafu was about to be a sensible person.

But he stopped Chen Shang: "Prime Minister, I won't blame him. Not only will I not blame him, but I appreciate the young master's words. He asked me to get out, but did not say it clearly, but asked me to hold my head, reunite, lie on the ground, ask me what would become, and fight a puzzle with me. I didn't understand at the time, and I thought about it for a while before I understood it."

"He can really change his ways!" Zhou Yafu praised first, and then his face sank: "That's not OK! I have to punish him!"

"Prime Minister, what I mean is that the young master is different from the past. I think that the young master may be wronged!" Chen Shang said in contemplation: "Even if there is no wrong, the prime minister should check it out, so that the relationship between father and son can be fulfilled. If the prime minister ignores it, what if the young master is really wronged, wouldn't it be heartbreaking?"

"Chen Shang, Zhou Yafu is very lucky to have a friend like you! This will bring you a blessing." Zhou Yafu was very moved: "This matter should be done early, but it will not be too late."

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I'll do it now!" Chen Shang quickly retreated after showing his respects.

"Young Master Zhou, Youth Master Zhou!"

Zhou Yang was in a state of great dream and woke up in shock. He saw two prison guards standing outside the troupe and opening the door: "Is there anything wrong?"

"Mr. Zhidu wants to interrogate the young master, and ask him to go to the court for a walk." The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the prison guard cannot inform Zhou Yang of the news, it is no problem to pay a smile.

I wonder if Zhou Yafu found out the truth? Zhou Yang stood up happily and said, "Let's go."

"Please, please!" The two prison guards hugged Zhou Yang in the middle, one on the left and one on the right, and left the cell.

Looking up, the sun was three times, and it was getting late.

The prison cell was not far from the court, and it was just a short while. As soon as Zhou Yang entered the court, he saw dozens of conscripts wearing soap clothes standing on the hood, leaning on the ground with the powerful stick in his hands, solemn and solemn. From beginning to end, he did not call him "magic" like the prison guards in movies and TV dramas. He did not even sound at all, but he was also solemn and stern, like an army lined up in formations.

There are several cases at the end of the court, with soft mats on it, and a person kneeling on it. He is in his forties, with high cheekbones, thick eyebrows and starry eyes, and very handsome. He wears two beams of Jinxian crown on his head, court clothes, curved hem, deep clothes, and a ribbon on his waist. He is the new Jingzhao Yin Zhidu.

Zhidu had an inviolable aura. Although he was kneeling, he gave people a mountain-like feeling and was unshakable. His eyes were bright, and his eyes were like sharp swords, as if he was about to dig out his heart and liver.

This Zhidu is not an ordinary person, no wonder the princes and nobles are afraid of him and are afraid of him! Zhou Yang praised him secretly.

"I've seen the elders!" Zhou Yafu bowed.

"Rareless! Don't kneel down!" The prison guard shouted in unison. Although there were many people, they were like a person shouting, uniform.

"Although you are the prime minister's son and a prisoner, if you enter the court, you have to abide by the rules of the court. Why don't you kneel down?" Zhidu's eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he was actually flying towards Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang stood still: "Master Zhidu, why don't I follow the rules of the court?"

"If you enter the court, you have to kneel down and salute me. This is the rule." Zhidu's face darkened, Leng Lin was scary, and some prisoners were timid and shook slightly.

"Haha!" Zhou Yang smiled: "This is the rule? It's ridiculous! Sir, are you trying the case or accepting the prisoner's kneeling ceremony? If the emperor knew that you made things difficult for someone to kneel down and bow down, what would he think?"

He has tried too many cases, and the bamboo slips that record the case can pile up a mountain. What kind of person has never seen? He has never met someone like Zhou Yang who has caused a life and has not given him a great gift to him. Zhidu secretly said in his heart that Zhou Yang is a fool, so how could he have such courage?

"There is only the rule in the court. Prisoners must give great gifts as soon as they enter the court. Even if the emperor knows, it is understandable." Zhi is not a good thing to do, so he will not give in.

It’s not that he insisted that Zhou Yang give him a big gift. This is a battle of momentum. If Zhou Yang doesn’t give a big gift, he will lose in terms of momentum, and the case will be difficult to be tried.

Zhou Yang grabbed the verbal ill in his words and fought back: "My lord is so true, and the prisoner gave a great gift to the master. I am not a prisoner, so why should I give a great gift?"

Zhidu couldn't bear it, and he repeated it on the short case: "You've caused a life, aren't you still a prisoner?"

Zhou Yang smiled faintly: "My sir, this is a bad thing! I kicked that man. Did I kick him to death? You can only make a conclusion after you have tried it. Before the case is concluded, there is no conclusion. Whether I am a prisoner is still a matter of two things. The number of cases I tried is as numerous as a crucian carp across the river. I will not object to this statement, right?"

In modern society, even if a murderer is caught, he cannot be called a criminal, but can only be called a suspect. Only when the court hears the case can he be called a criminal. Although the Han Dynasty did not have such a clear legal definition, it was still a secret agreement during the trial process.

Zhidu, a veteran of case trial, could not refute Zhou Yang's statement. His eyes suddenly opened wide, as dazzling as the scorching sun above the nine heavens. After opening up Zhou Yang, he looked at him: "If you like to stand, just stand and stay!"
