But it was said that when the Sun Mansion was in a hurry, Sun Shaozong was also not idle in the Penal and Name Division.
It's almost April, and the mid-year 'prison review' is coming as scheduled. Last year, the predecessor Liu Zhizhong was in charge of the matter, and this year it was naturally Sun Shaozong's turn.
In fact, when he came to the government office yesterday, he was going to look around, but he was delayed by Ma Yingjue's case.
So he went to the Xing Ming Department early, summoned Lin Delu and all the officials, and launched a surprise inspection.
Fortunately, according to the results of the inspection, the public affairs of the Xing Ming Division were not bad. In fact, this was also due to Wei Ruolan's blessing. This fellow was holding the "Rectification Program" as the sword of Shang Fang, and he was bluffing the hearts of the people below. Frightened, how dare you make the slightest mistake
It's hard to say that even the ills that have accumulated over the years have also been made up for it.
The only thing that made Sun Shaozong dissatisfied was the government prison in charge of Zhou Da.
This fellow probably also knows that if he can ascend to the eighth-rank prison, he has already reached the peak of his life, so the whole person suddenly relaxes.
Usually, everything in this prison is left to Bao Yongmeng, the secretary, and Ni Er, the minister.
As for Ni Er and Bao Yongmeng, because they have some relationship with the Sun family, and the boss has not restrained anything, they have been acting recklessly in recent days. I got a 'private room', and there are all kinds of fat and powder clothes in it, and I can see that it is not a serious way to look at it!
After Sun Shaozong patrolled this circle, his face became gloomy and tight.
The three of Zhou Da and the others in the back were all terrified. Seeing that Sun Shaozong pulled a bench at the door of the cell and sat down, the three of them immediately knelt on the ground.
Sun Shaozong didn't look at them directly, but asked Lin Delu who was on the side: "Look at the torture instruments in this prison, are they a bit old?"
"This… "
Lin Delu didn't know what he meant by these words, and he didn't take a closer look at the old and new torture instruments, so he could only say ambiguous: "It seems that it is a little neglected, but the torture instruments can be used."
"Does it really work?"
Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "Why do I look like it's useless?"
He said, without waiting for Lin Delu to respond, he raised his voice and commanded: "Zhou Siyu, go get some pieces and have a look."
Zhou Da hurriedly got up, picked up the commonly used torture tools, took a few sets, and carefully offered them with both hands.
Sun Shaozong glanced at it and saw that it was a leather whip, a stick, and a hot iron, so he nodded and said, "You three each choose one, show it to this officer, and let me see whether these things are useful or not."
Zhou Da's hands trembled when he heard the words, and the torture tool fell to the ground.
That Bao Yongmeng was even more frightened, and he couldn't help raising his neck to tell the difference: "Sir, this little one has been here for less than a month, and he has never sat on anything against the law!"
Although Ni Er was a greedy and perverted the law, he still had a bit of responsibility as a man, and he also shouted with his chest out: "Yes, these things are done by villains, and they have nothing to do with Lao Bao and Lord Zhou. If you want to punish, only punish the younger one!"
Sun Shaozong raised his foot and kicked him on his back, sneered: "Before you did things, why didn't you think about whether you would implicate your colleagues and bosses, but now you are a hero?! Okay, this official will fulfill you, these three You first demonstrate the sample torture devices one by one, then find a cell by yourself, and lock it up for a year and a half before talking about it!”
After speaking, he raised his voice again: "Zhou Da!"
"Humble... humble job!"
"As a prison administrator, you are not strictly controlled, and you have received 20 whips yourself, and the whips will see blood!"
"In addition, if he is released from prison in half a year, you will be fined for a year; if he is released in a year, you will be fined for half a year - let me see how much your loyalty is worth!"
Having said that, Sun Shaozong turned his attention to Bao Yongmeng again: "For the sake of your new arrival and never participated in it, let's take five whips and a month's fine."
The three of them didn't care whether they were convinced or not, but they didn't dare to argue anything in front of him, so they hurriedly responded obediently.
Sun Shaozong was too lazy to watch the bloody execution scene, leaving two subordinate officials to oversee the work, and took Lin Delu and others out of the prison.
When I got outside, I saw that it was almost noon, but there was still a long way to go before dinner time. Sun Shaozong called Lin Delu and asked, "Is there any place that I haven't inspected yet?"
Lin Delu hurriedly said: "Reporting to the lord, the mansion has been turned around - but according to the rules of previous years, Daxing and Wanping counties, I am afraid that they will have to go over there for a while."
This is clearly a long way off.
Sun Shaozong immediately gave up the idea of continuing the inspection, called the officials of the various houses and gave them a few words of encouragement, and ordered them not to slack off.
In fact, no matter how nervous this year is, when next year's Shuntian Prefecture's 'prison lawsuit review', the Zhili Procuratorate should be in charge.
At that time, it is estimated that there will be no one who is blind, dare to pick on Sun Shaozong - after all, the former commissioner died in his hands!
Speaking of pacing the official pace, he returned to the criminal justice department in a leisurely manner. Sun Shaozong originally wanted to rest and have some tea. Who would have guessed that as soon as he entered the door, he saw two groups of domestic servants waiting honestly in the living room.
One of them was sent by Zhao Zhongji to announce the good news; as for the other...
"Master Sun, the villain belongs to Uncle Xue's mansion on Zijin Street. My lord just got promoted to the post of General Secretary yesterday, so I set up a banquet to celebrate tonight, and please be sure to appreciate it."
As the servant of the Xue family said that, he handed a hot stamped post with both hands.
Xue Pan's experience as the General Secretary
Wang Shangshu's efficiency is really not covered!
In other words, this green hat is really not for nothing...
He took the invitation and flipped through it. When he saw that Xue Pan had invited guests, it was set in the nearby Dingxiang Building. Sun Shaozong asked casually, "Where is Weitong sentenced, did you send the message?"
"The villain has never sent any messages to Young Master Wei!"
The servant smiled apologetically and said, "When we went out, our lord specially explained that you are the only one in the Shuntian Mansion, and you will not be invited to anyone next to you!"
Obviously, he was on Sun Shaozong's side and wanted to help out Wei Ruolan.
"inappropriate."
However, Sun Shaozong shook his head, tossed the hot stamping post in his hand, and said, "It would be fine if it was in a nearby place. Since we are hosting a banquet in Dingxianglou, I have been invited to drink but Wei Ruolan has been missed. , doesn't it mean that he is deliberately offending him? Your uncle has just entered the officialdom, why is he making trouble for himself?"
After he said that, he said without doubt: "Go back and ask your uncle to write two more invitations, one for Wei Tong for sentencing, and one for Qiu Jianxiao - tell him, if he doesn't want to do it, I will give it to him at night. Don't join in the fun."
The servant listened to him and thought about his uncle, thanked Dade for his response, and hurried back to report to Xue Pan.
However, he said that the servants of the Xue family were sent away, so Sun Shaozong called his servants to the front and asked Yu Qian and Sun Chengtao about the ranking of the palace examination.
In fact, regardless of Yu Qian's rank, just based on the policy of secretly demoting the Emperor Taishang, it is naturally the tail of the top three cranes.
On the other hand, Sun Chengtao's ranking was somewhat unexpected. He had thought that he would be at the bottom of the test, but he was determined to be a 'Tongjinshi, such as Mrs.
This time, he is afraid that he will be fussing for a while.
"correct."
The servant had already finished reporting, but suddenly remembered an irrelevant business, so he casually mentioned: "When I was going out, I bumped into the motorcade of Rongguo Mansion, and I heard that it was Grandma Lian from Rongguo Mansion, who came to visit my grandmother at our house. Here comes the wife."
Wang Xifeng went to his house
Sun Shaozong thought for a while and guessed that her trip must be for the 'timber business'.
It's a pity that yesterday I was patronizing and befriending Yingchun, but forgot to tell her about it, otherwise she could agree to it first, and the two brothers would sing double reeds and try to haggle with Wang Xifeng as much as possible.
Thanks to the book friends 'Rotten Leaf Sign, Fingers Eternal, plateau8283' for the reward.
