"I have heard these days that since Bao Qing patrols the world on my behalf, the public security of this Shendu has plummeted. A few days ago, the prince of Lanling Xiao Zirong rode his horse in the street, destroying farmlands, and forcibly robbing the women of the people. I have dealt with them heavily.

I don’t think that it’s been so long before someone has been in the capital of God. He is lawless and can’t commit crimes on the street, smashing shops and restaurants, disturbing the market, and even some people dare to kill people on the street and trample on the people. It’s really hateful…”

In the Yangxin Hall, the warm sunlight shines diagonally from outside the window of the Diaolong Palace, causing the giant gilded dragon pillars in the hall to emit dazzling light.

However, the hall did not become warm because of the warm sunshine, but instead made people feel cold and tremble. After the imperial case, Ma Jingao sat on the dragon throne, looking at the court officials standing below the steps with expressionless face. The words from his mouth made the few people tremble, and some people even sweated from their foreheads, lowering their heads deeply, and did not dare to make any moves.

"Ministry of Justice!"

Leng Yuefeng, the Minister of Justice, trembling and quickly stepped out of the line, kneeling on his knees and said, "Are you looking at me?"

"I'm here!"

Ma Jin's cold eyes made Leng Yuefeng thorn on his back, and he could only press his head tightly to the ground. Then he heard Ma Jin say coldly: "Someone openly kills and kills people in Shendu Square and tramples on the people?"

Leng Yuefeng touched the ground with his head and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I have ordered the Ministry of Justice to issue an edict to order Qiu Xingyue, the ambassador of the Shuntian Prefecture Police Department, to go to investigate!"

Ma Jin snorted coldly and said sternly: "How long has this been going to investigate now? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? I see, when you find out, people may have gone to the ends of the world!"

Leng Yuefeng was frightened by Ma Jin's anger and kept kowtowing, "I have missed investigation, I deserve to die for death... I deserve to die for death!"

Looking at Leng Yuefeng who kept kowtowing, Ma Jin couldn't help but snorted coldly and continued to ask: "Someone is openly making trouble and smashing shops and restaurants, causing great disturbances. What's going on?"

Leng Yuefeng's head touched the ground and said in a trembling voice:

"It's really hard to know the clues when the matter was rushed. I have sent the doctor of the Ministry of Justice to Yongchunfang to investigate the matter."

Ma Jin couldn't help but be furious, slapped the imperial case and scolded him angrily: "Hmph! I don't know what I want you for after asking, what do I want?"

Leng Yuefeng's body was trembling like a sieve at this time, but he kept kowtowing:

"I know the crime..."

"Hmph, trash!" Ma Jin looked at Leng Yuefeng who only knew how to kowtow at the steps, snorted coldly and shouted:

"Wang Cheng'en!"

Wang Chengen, who was standing on the left side of the dragon chaise, quickly stepped forward a few steps and bowed.

"Transfer the imperial edict, remove Leng Yuefeng from his post as Minister of Justice, be imprisoned, and wait for disposal!"

At this moment, the cabinet chief Changsun Wuji suddenly stepped out of the list and said:

"Please stop Thunder's anger for a while. I think that although Lord Leng is responsible for his misunderstanding, he will not be punished for his crime.

Your Majesty! This God’s unlawful affairs have always been handled by Shuntian Prefecture. It is understandable that the Ministry of Justice does not know the details. If you want to talk about the failure of supervision, as the chief minister, I am the chief official, and the chief officials are the first to bear the brunt of the crime. Please give up your crime!" In the end, Changsun Wuji knelt down and kowtowed and accused him of guilt.

At this time, Kou Zhun also went out and knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, as a Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace, I am in charge of the judicial affairs of the prison on Di Ge Laotian. God has such an illegal thing. It is really hard to refuse the blame for failing to urge some officials to investigate and deal with it in time. Please punish me!"

"I am also guilty!" Seeing this, several other court officials quickly knelt down and apologized.

Seeing this, Ma Jin's expression eased a little. In fact, he knew that this matter could not be blamed entirely on Leng Yuefeng. After all, Shuntian Prefecture's ranks are the same as the six divisions. Generally, the cases under Shuntian Prefecture are investigated and dealt with by the Police Department under the Tongzong of Shuntian Prefecture, which is equivalent to the current capital G Security Bureau, which is directly responsible to the municipal government.

The Ministry of Justice is also the agency in charge of the nationwide criminal prisons, similar to the current Ministry of Security. Although it also has the right to directly order the local criminal prisons to have departments, in order to avoid conflicts or misunderstandings, it generally does not directly interfere in local criminal prison cases unless it is a major criminal prison case that goes directly to Tianting.

But Gods are not ordinary places after all, but under the feet of the emperor. If a little bit of a big deal, it would be too unreasonable to say that the Ministry of Justice would not know anything.

To be honest, Shendu only looks stable and peaceful on the surface, but in fact, the security in secret is very poor. That is, after Bao Zheng became the prefect of Shuntian, he used thunder means to manage Shendu's security. After all, there are too many bigwigs in Shendu. If he throws a brick, he may be a child of a family.

In other words, Bao Zheng was a high-ranking official, upright and upright, and selfless, and did not give anyone any face. This made these second-generation ancestors of the Shendu dare not be too presumptuous. If other ordinary officials were just talking about it.

Now, Bao Zheng had just been on patrol and was revived and lawless, making the law of the Great Zhou in vain.

So what Ma Jin wants to do now is not to appoint another iron-blooded official to sort out all the gods, but this is just to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Instead, the law of the Great Zhou is no longer a decoration, but a rule that can truly restrain people in the world, so that everyone knows that people are doing it, God is watching, and the law is wide and uneven without any omissions, and violations of the law will be punished!

In fact, during the reign of Emperor Xuan, Ma Jin's cheap grandfather, he gathered all over the country to compile a masterpiece of the great law.

This is the most complete law compiled since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It involves almost all aspects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it contains everything.

But such an important code was a decoration in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The fundamental reason was that Ma Jin's cheap grandfather and father were too generous and indulged in the nobles when they were in power, and often turned a blind eye to some close favorite ministers who violated the law and discipline.

If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and the upper class in the country is like this. Do you still expect the lower people to take this law seriously?

So Ma Jin wanted to change this situation. The last time Ma Jin dealt with the father-in-law and son was actually a warning to these nobles to restrain themselves. Unexpectedly, these nobles became more and more arrogant without knowing that they were becoming more and more presumptuous. Since some people don’t listen to good words, it’s no wonder that he used iron-blooded means.

Thinking of this, Ma Jin's expression calmed down a little, and he said to the ministers who would be on the ground:

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers then kowtowed and thanked him, and stood up.

Ma Jin looked around the court officials in the hall and said in a voice: "This matter is related to the majesty of the law of our Great Zhou and the stability of the country. We must find out the culprit as soon as possible, punish it severely to appease the hearts of the people!"

"Xu Jin!"

"I'm here!" Xu Jin hurriedly stepped out.

"I am hereby pleading for the prefect of Shuntian. After you take office, you must clear up the illegal things of God and give the people a bright world!"

"I will receive the order!"

"Also, after you take office, you have some places to pay special attention to..." Ma Jin's face became more serious, and Xu Jin hurriedly bowed to listen.

"When you are rectifying the security of God's capital, you must treat the people equally and not divide them into different levels...

I heard that some prisons in Shuntian Prefecture are imprisoned in narrow, cramped, cold and wet places on the back, often with dozens of people, and dozens of people crowded together. However, some noble officials and criminals in the aristocratic families are imprisoned in a spacious and bright prison, with only one person and one prison, just like a home furnishing...

Among me, there seems to be no requirement that the prisoner be divided into different levels, right?"

Xu Jin saw a little sweat on his forehead, which he knew. Not only was this the case in prison, but it was common in the Heavenly Prison. Although it is said that all beings are equal, they are always superior to others with money and power. Among all living beings, they are already an iron rule and cannot be solved in just a few words.

Even an official like Xu Jin who is extremely troubled by people's livelihood did not want to make a mistake that day. He was thrown into prison and squeezed into a cell with dozens of people. Therefore, absolute equality does not exist at all. Of course, he would not tell Ma Jin about such a thing, nor would he dare to tell.

He just bowed and said, "Your Majesty is very saying. After I took office, I will immediately order the officer to make rectifications..."

He said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, but do this... those nobles... are afraid..."

"You are just the prefect of Shuntian, do your job well and maintain the dignity of the law. This is what you should consider. I will naturally consider other things. Just let go of your hands and do it. As long as you know, I am behind you and your greatest backer, it's enough!"

Speaking of this, Ma Jin's eyes became brighter and brighter, and continued:

"The Great Zhou Law formulated by His Majesty Xuan back then was not to put it aside and let it cover it with dust, but to let it restrain people all over the world, know what to do and what not to do!

Therefore, from now on, everyone except me will dare to violate the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty and should be treated equally!

...The prince breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people!"

………………………………………

Just when the new Shuntian Prefecture Xu Jin was struggling with the trouble of rectifying the security of Shendu and was struggling with headaches, Wang Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was far away in Jiaodong County, Qingzhou, was also in trouble.

Jiaodong County has long become the most chaotic place in Qingzhou. There are 300,000 or 400,000 victims gathered in Jiaodong County. This is exactly the problem that Wang Zheng was extremely troubled. Previously, in order to facilitate disaster relief, he told local officials to gather the victims and gather them in Jiaodong, which is also easy to manage.

But who knew that "Fire Dragon Burning Warehouse" would happen in Qingzhou, which was only heard of in rumors, made all his previous efforts go to waste, and even made these hundreds of thousands of victims a potential gunpowder barrel. If you are not careful, once you ignite it, its power will be enough to turn the whole Qingzhou upside down, the situation will be corrupt, and a huge quagmire.

At that time, Wang Zheng will naturally be unlucky. Not only himself, but also under the thunder, may harm his family and relatives. When he thinks of this, Wang Zheng will be the culprit for all this, the borers hidden in the prefectures and counties, and they will grit their teeth and wish they can stop their flesh and eat their bones.

Over the past few days, Wang Zheng has emptied all his only food, so he barely calmed the victims down a little, without causing much unrest. However, he has now consumed all his food and ammunition and food have been exhausted. He no longer knows how to comfort these victims again, and there is also some bad news in the places where the victims gather.

After all, whenever there are famines or when the country is in chaos, there are always some ambitious people, commonly known as the so-called "sons of fortune", "Qianlong" and so on, holding high the banner of "for your good" and leading the people to resist tyranny. These days, Wang Zheng has been exhausted in order to deal with these "sons of fortune".

In the fifth year of Shenwu, on the tenth day of the second month, late at night, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and in the Jiaodong County Magistrate's Office, Wang Zheng and several officials exclusively appointed by the imperial envoy were discussing the matter. After a long time, Wang Zheng stood up and stretched.

"When is it now?" Wang Zheng looked at the gloomy sky outside the window, the night sky was pitch black, and the moon was high, and he could only see a halo faintly.

"Sir, it's almost 4:00 p.m. It's getting late, so it's time for you to rest," said Zheng Wuxing, deputy envoy of disaster relief and the Qingzhou Qinglis Department, with his bloodshot eyes open.

"Well, it's so late?" Wang Zheng sat back on the chair, picked up the official documents on the desk and looked at it, and said casually:

"You all go down and rest. When I finish these urgent tasks, I will go to rest. Let's go..."

"Sir, you have to take care of yourself. Yesterday you didn't sleep all night. You have been dealing with official duties until now. If you don't rest, how can your body bear it..." Zheng Wuxing saw that it was so late, and Wang Zheng insisted on handling official duties, and couldn't help but persuade him.

Wang Zheng waved his hand when he heard this, indicating that Zheng Wuxing didn't need to say anything more. Seeing that Wang Zheng was firm in his attitude, everyone stopped persuading him and said goodbye and left. Only Zheng Wuxing did not leave, but sat directly beside the desk to help Wang Zheng handle official business together.

"Mr. Zheng, they all went down to rest. Why don't you be with them? You don't have to stay here with me. Get some early rest. There are still many official duties to be busy tomorrow..." Wang Zheng looked up at Zheng Wuxing and said slowly.

"I can't sleep when I go back. It's better to handle official duties with the adults, and it's faster..." Zheng Wuxing said with a smile, picking up the official documents on the table and turning them over.

Wang Zheng read Zheng Wuxing for a long time after hearing this, but he didn't say anything. The two of them silently started to deal with the official documents.

Zheng Wujie was a Jinshi. Ma Jin first ranked ninth in the second grade of the second grade and was named as the second grade and the first time he was awarded the title of the second grade. He was outstanding in literature and had great abilities. After six ministries observing politics, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Yanchi County, Jincheng County, Liangzhou. Because of his outstanding political achievements, he was able to be promoted to the position of the Ministry of Revenue Qingye Department. Later, he was promoted to the position of the Qingye Department of Qingye Department of Qingye Department.

It was because Wang Zheng was attracted by Zheng Wuxing's talent that he specially wrote to the cabinet and insisted on letting Zheng Wuxing be his deputy.

After a long time, Wang Zheng suddenly remembered something and looked up and asked:

"Sir Zheng, was there anything unusual outside the city yesterday?"

Zheng Wuxing was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know why Wang Zheng cared about this so much, and quickly replied:

"Sir, the sergeant guarding outside the city came to report that it was normal outside the city and there was nothing unusual..."

When Wang Zheng heard this, his expression subsided and said incredible: "How come there was no movement..."
