In the evening, Kou Zhong had helped Erbao and the three to find a husband, a gentleman in the tent of the mansion, a native of Yangzhou.
It is said that he still has fame and fame. After repeated attempts, he joined the Kou Mansion, hoping that through Kou Zhun's suggestions, he can become a full-time official.
Kou Zhong used to help him with an escort job, but the servant did not want to be an official, so he stayed in the house.
After Kou Ji had eaten, he tested his knowledge in Sijunyuan.
This person has good knowledge, he has studied for many years, and his knowledge is also broad, but he has a bit of a good eye and a low hand.
In order for Kou Ji to do his best to teach the two treasures, Xu gave him a 9th grade horse supervisor.
This guy actually declined.
Seeing this, Kou Ji stopped talking to this person.
He asked Kou Zhong to find a gentleman again.
By the way, let Kou Zhong find a reason and expelled this person.
Kou Ji has seen many people with good eyes and low hands.
Some people are really capable, but never get the chance.
Some people are not capable, but always feel that they have to have more.
This person is obviously the latter.
After nightfall.
Kou Zhong helped Erbao and others find a gentleman.
Suzhou people also have fame and fame.
Although this person has not traveled to school, his knowledge is three points better than the previous one.
Kou Ji also granted him a master record of the 9th rank horse supervisor.
He also declined.
But his answer surprised Kou Ji.
He doesn't want to be an official, but he hopes to be able to follow Kou Ji, before and after.
Kou Ji thought this man was interesting, so he agreed.
As long as the three of Erbao succeed in learning, let him follow him.
Compared with the previous person, this person is capable, knowledgeable, and more importantly, ambitious and visionary.
He knew in his heart that following Kou Ji was far more promising than a 9th-rank horse supervisor.
Kou Ji chatted with him for a while, then dismissed him, and fell asleep.
The next day.
After getting up.
Kou Ji helped Er Bao pack his things and sent someone to send him to a pawn shop in Vientiane.
Before leaving, Erbao, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke to Kou Ji: "Master, I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely be able to help you."
"it is good… "
Kou Ji agreed.
Er Bao left Kou's Mansion with a dull head.
After Er Bao left, Kou Ji took a sedan chair and went to the censorship yamen.
When he arrived at the gate, the guard on duty told Kou Ji that Zhang Lun had gone to the prison of the Ministry of Justice early in the morning and left a message for him so that when he arrived, he didn't need to enter the prison and go directly to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
Kou Ji didn't know what Zhang Lun was going to make, but he had to listen to what Zhang Lun said.
He casually grabbed a guard to lead the way and rushed to the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
The criminal secretary's Yamen is in the inner city, but the criminal prison is in the outer city.
Tens of thousands of prisoners are sent from all over the country every year.
The inner city is not so big for them to enjoy.
Kou Ji swayed out of the inner city on the sedan chair to a corner of the outer city.
A long distance away, Kou Ji saw the towering walls of the prison of the Ministry of Justice, surrounded by heavy soldiers.
There seemed to be an aisle where the cell was connected to the cell, with soldiers walking on it from time to time.
There were many dungeons in ancient times, and most of the imperial prisons were built underground.
Dig a large pit and pave it with beams, pillars and rubble, which is a prison cell.
But Bianjing City is not suitable for constructing such a cell.
There is a lot of water around the city of Bianjing. If you dig deep, it is easy to get water.
In addition, Bianjing City is adjacent to the Yellow River, and the terrain is lower than the Yellow River bed. There is a risk of flooding all year round.
If the prisoners stay in the dungeon, they will most likely be drowned as soon as the flood comes out.
Therefore, the prisons in Bianjing are mostly built on the ground.
Kou Ji arrived at the door of the prison of the Ministry of Justice and showed a bright official seal.
The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to stop him, allowing him to enter the prison.
In addition to the cell, there is also a front yard in the prison.
It is for the casual use of the soldiers.
Kou Ji entered the cell door, first to the front yard.
forecourt.
Zhang Lun was sitting high at a table, standing beside him with his Xixi and clerks.
He is interrogating a prisoner. He seems to have encountered a difficult problem, frowning, thinking about something.
The prisoner stood still at his table in a proper manner.
Seeing this, Kou Ji was slightly taken aback.
Immediately, his eyes slowly widened, as if he had seen something unexpected.
He paced over quickly and looked at the prisoner carefully.
Zhang Lun was upset when he saw Kou Ji coming, frowning and said: "A prisoner, what is so good about?"
Kou Ji took his eyes back from the prisoner, and said to Zhang Lun: "I have seen an adult..."
"Yeah~"
Zhang Lun agreed displeasedly, and said in a deep voice, "You haven't answered this official's words yet."
Kou Ji arched his hand and said lightly: "Back to your lord, the official felt that there might be an injustice case."
Zhang Lun was taken aback when he heard the words.
He felt that Kou Ji didn't know the severity, so he decided to reprimand him, "Injustice? Is an injustice judged by feeling? If everyone decides the case like you, I don't know how many people will die in vain that day."
Kou Ji heard the reprimands in Zhang Lun's words, and he said neither humble nor arrogant: "The adults only need to borrow the prisoner's file to read, and the officer has his own way to prove to the adults whether this is an unjust case. "
Zhang Lun stared, stood up slowly, and said coldly, "What if you can't prove it?"
Kou Ji stared at him, and said solemnly: "I hang the seal and leave, and I will no longer be an eyesore to the adults."
Zhang Lun sneered and said, "Okay! This official will follow you."
Zhang Lun turned around and said to the clerks around him: "Give him the clerks."
The document took the prisoner's file and passed it to Kou Ji.
Kou Ji didn't rush to get the dossier. Instead, he smiled at Zhang Lun and said, "My lord, what if the official proves it? What about my lord?"
Zhang Lun was taken aback, gritted his teeth and said: "Do you still want the official to hang the seal and leave?"
Kou Ji shook his head and smiled: "Dare not..."
Zhang Lun snorted and said: "The officer is not afraid to tell you the truth. The officer knows that this is an unjust case, but the evidence is complete, and the officer can't find the flaw. The prisoner refused to say a word. The officials also find it tricky.
If you can prove that it is an unjust case, the official will give you a comment on the memorial to the staff. "
Zhang Lun's comment here refers to the evaluation of the official performance appraisal of officials every year.
The staff department will conduct an annual performance evaluation of officials at all levels and give a certain evaluation. Officials who have been evaluated for three consecutive years will be promoted.
The evaluation given by Zhang Lun cannot be the final evaluation of the officials, but it can influence the evaluation of the officials.
Although Wang Shu is in charge of the staff, if Zhang Lun gave Kou Ji three reviews for three consecutive years, even if Wang Shu helped Kou Ji get the review and promoted him, he would be criticized.
Therefore, Zhang Lun’s review is still very good for Kou Ji.
Kou Ji received Zhang Lun's promise and nodded.
He took the file handed over by the clerk, and muttered to himself.
"I won't be able to try the case, but there are historical materials about you, but I have read a lot, don't cheat me..."
