Chapter 215 Go to Dali Temple to get the file!
Cheng Zheng wrote a nice word to Shen Lanxi before she left.
After returning to the city, she went straight to Dali Temple.
Wei Jiajun’s case was investigated jointly by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Civil Affairs. There should be files in both places.
Che Mingyuan happened to have a letter and asked her to hand it over to Dali Temple Qing Weijie.
She had already asked someone to inquire about it in advance. Wei Jie would be on duty at Dali Temple all day today.
Wei Jie had already been waiting for Shen Lanxi when she said she would retry the Wei Jiajun case.
I thought she would find him immediately, but unexpectedly she went to the door of King Zhennan and asked for dowry.
What a wonderful woman!
What is going on in his mind is not something ordinary people like him can speculate on.
After Shen Lanxi saw Wei Jie, she first handed him Che Mingyuan's letter, and after he read it, she explained the purpose of her visit!
Wei Jie was a bit businesslike before, but after reading the letter, his attitude changed drastically.
"I have already prepared the files of the Wei Jiajun, and I am waiting for the general to arrive!"
After Wei Jie finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced out the door.
Shen Lanxi said directly: "Every move I make now is attracting attention. Sir Wei, it's okay to speak out!"
Wei Jie understood. Since he had received His Majesty's permission, he didn't have to worry.
On the way to the archives room to read the files, Wei Jie had already told Shen Lanxi the contents of the files.
"The dossier is all superficial. Basically, it is very different from what the outside world said. The only useful thing is the file on the Wei family's military food and salary allocation."
Wei Jie took the dossier. When he came out, all the evidence was placed in front of Shen Lanxi.
"This is the registration of all officials, including soldiers, who handled that batch of salary back then. Their whereabouts in the past two years have been monitored by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and there is nothing unusual about their usual behavior. ! ”
After Shen Lanxi read them one by one, she asked: "Master Wei, are all the files here?"
Wei Jie: "This is just a part, and there are also some in the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Because they are all All ministries must keep official documents with seals as evidence. We at Dali Temple can’t keep them withheld!”
Shen Lanxi didn’t embarrass him and said, “Can I copy some of these evidences?” "
Wei Jie: "My lord, just ask someone to copy it!"
She had many people with her, and they copied it all in about a quarter of an hour.
"Master Wei, I see that there is no such thing as a confession in it. Did Dali Temple and the Ministry of Civil Affairs summon them to take a confession with the person escorting the payment, or did they send someone to question the people they came into contact with along the way?"
Wei Jie glanced at her, remembering the instructions from his friend in the letter, and said truthfully: "After the Shen family was exiled, there was a drought in the north, then there was mob turmoil, then there was the turmoil in the northwest, and then there was the winter snow disaster and the rebellion of the king. ,...The turmoil has never stopped!"
Shen Lanxi nodded in understanding.
“Before, we were supposed to summon the people who were escorting the food and wages, but due to the turmoil in various places and the lack of troops in the imperial court, we had to send them out as well.”
Shen Lanxi: “Where were they sent?”< br>
Wei Jie: "I paid special attention to them. They were all sent to the northwest!"
Shen Lanxi made a note of it. She has the list of left and right. She went to the northwest to investigate.
"Master Wei, I won't disturb you. I have to go to the staff department!" Shen Lanxi was about to leave.
Wei Jie hesitated to speak. Shen Lanxi glanced at him and more or less understood.
"My lord, stay!"
Wei Jie gritted his teeth and said bravely: "You may not be able to see anyone when you go to the Criminal Department!"
Shen Lanxi raised the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, Master Wei, for reminding me, I have been prepared!" Wei Jie was stunned, he couldn't do it Understand, you can’t see anyone, so what can you prepare for?
Why did Shen Lanxi leave like this without even asking him a single question?
……
"Sister, what the Minister of Dali Temple said just now must be true, right?" Shen Yuanjing asked with worry.
“Don’t worry, have you brought the imperial decree that you were asked to bring?” Shen Lanxi asked confidently.
Mentioning the imperial edict, Shen Yuanjing and others felt a little more confident.
When she arrived, the door of the official department was closed, and only two gatekeepers were guarding the door.
"Who are you? This is an important place for officials, and civilians are not allowed to approach it!"
Shen Yuanjing unfolded the imperial edict and read it again!
"...All relevant persons must cooperate with Shen Lanxi's investigation. If there is any obstruction, they will be treated as the real culprits in the Wei Jiajun case!" He didn't react to the imperial edict. When he did, he knelt on the ground in fright.
Shen Yuanjing held the imperial edict high in his left hand and shouted loudly: "General Shen wants to check the files on the Wei Jiajun case. Will you stop him?"
The two petty officials were already frightened out of their wits. , the imperial edict says that if you dare to block it, you will be guilty of the same crime. Who dares to block it?
"General, it's not us who stopped us. It was our minister who said that without his order, if anyone dares to enter the official department, our whole family will be killed! We don't dare!"
It's also a coincidence. Yesterday, the official Minister Qiu Mingjue had just given them an order, and they wouldn't even dare to forget it even if they didn't even have twelve hours!
"Why should I go in?" Shen Lanxi looked at the two of them.
The two clerks were crying and confused: "General, if you want to go in, you'd better beat us up before you go in!" This way they can communicate easily.
Shen Lanxi smiled and said: "If I really hit you, I won't even be able to explain why!"
The two young officials were so embarrassed that they almost cried: "Sir, please let the little ones live. In fact, Master Qiu just gave the order yesterday. If we brothers really let you in, you will be gone." We two brothers will have to die in the cell. Please, sir, don’t make it difficult for us.”
The words of the two people were obviously instructed by others, otherwise they would never dare to do so. Say so.
Who dares to bargain after seeing the imperial edict?
It is clear that she is a woman, and if they beg her like this, she will relent.
"Can your official minister be in there today?"
The two clerks shook their heads quickly.
"No, my lord, the minister, will have a rest today."
"What about tomorrow?" she asked immediately.
Two clerks: "We won't know tomorrow. How about you come back tomorrow?"
Shen Lanxi smiled at first, then darkened her face.
"Anyone who dares to stop me is a criminal who stole the food and wages of the Wei family's army and will be killed without mercy!"
Shen Yuanjing and others showed their weapons without saying a word!
The two petty officials were so frightened that they were fine a moment ago, so why did they fall out while smiling?
"Sir, spare your life, we don't dare!" The two petty officials were so frightened that they quickly got out of the way.
Shen Yuanjing stepped forward and opened the door, turned around and scolded the two of them: "You are still not leading the way for the general."
The two clerks were really frightened and cried this time.
Didn’t Mr. Qiu say that Shen Lanxi is a woman and they can get away with it as long as they look pitiful?
Why is it different from what Mr. Qiu said?
After Shen Lanxi entered the door, she saw the people working inside and laughed.
“Everyone in the official department is so bold that they dare to openly resist the decree!”
Shen Yuanjing held up the imperial edict with his left hand: "You disobeyed the emperor's order and prevented General Shen from thoroughly investigating the Wei family's army food and salary case. He is very cruel. You are the real accomplices in the Wei family's army food and salary theft case. You are waiting to confiscate your family and exterminate your family!"
