"Ah? Really?" Everyone was surprised.
"It's absolutely true! It's clearly recorded in the book that the last censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate committed a heinous crime. Not only was he executed by Lingchi, but even his sect Manchus were kidnapped and taken to the execution ground. One of them was killed. No matter what, the blood stained the water of the moat red, and everyone who saw it will never forget it. "
Speaking of this, Zhou Tongli shivered intelligently.
Everyone also felt chills all over.
Some people couldn't help but said: "No way, is it possible that the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will guard against self-stealing and know the law and break the law?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several people looking at him and sneering. He was slightly startled, then he understood and said in a voiceless voice: "Could it be that the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whose family was exterminated and his house was confiscated, was wrongly accused? "
But Zhou Tongli shook his head and said: "We don't know whether he was wronged or not. There is no record in the book. It's just that since the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was beheaded, no one has dared to hold this official position. As time went by, the imperial court issued a decree and abolished the post of censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate no longer existed. "
He picked up the wine bowl and drank it dry again, looking out of the hall, silently lost in thought.
Everyone's mood also became a little heavy.
"Excuse me, Zhou Jijiu. You suddenly mentioned that the Censor of the Ducha Yuan is related to this incident. Could it be that... the Censor of the Censorship Yuan did it?" The man surnamed Wei's eyes flashed and he suddenly asked.
Everyone was immediately stunned.
"No, right? Didn't Zhou Jijiu just say that the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate had already canceled it?"
"Of course it was canceled before. Can't the emperor issue a decree and re-appoint it?" Master Na Wei asked in return.
"This... of course it is possible, but why does the emperor want to reappoint this official position so well?" Some people were puzzled.
"Then I don't know." Mr. Wei shook his head.
Everyone looked at Zhou Tongli together.
"Zhou Jijiu, you've only finished half of what you said. Has the Imperial Censor really been re-appointed?"
Zhou Tongli nodded and said, "Not bad."
Everyone gasped together.
"No way? Who is so stupid as to serve as such a stupid official?"
Zhou Tongli snorted: "You are afraid of losing your head, but there are many people in the world who are not afraid of losing their heads. Since the emperor dares to give her this official job, she also has the courage to do it. Not only does she dare to be this official, she also does it very well. This time, Dali Temple imprisoned so many corrupt officials. It was all the fault of the newly appointed Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If you committed any crime, you might also fall into the trap of this Censor. in your hands, so I advise you to proceed with caution.”
Everyone was shocked again, but there were smiles on their faces.
"Zhou Jijiu is just telling a joke. We act and sit upright, how can we commit any crime?"
"Haha, yes, we all serve the emperor loyally. Those corrupt officials should indeed be punished. If they fall into my hands, they will also be punished for the crime of confiscating their homes and exterminating their families."
"That's right, Cheng Shaoqing, your Dali Temple has imprisoned so many people at once, I'm afraid it's going to be hard on you."
Everyone looked at a middle-aged official with a handsome face who was wearing a red robe.
His name is Cheng Baiyi, and he serves as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is the third rank and is in charge of the trial of prison cases.
