Wearing a crimson official uniform, Yuan Zhan raised his head from a dark corner, looking unfathomable, with a clear face, handsome and profound features, but there was a morbid surge in the depths of his eyes.

He changed his expression almost instantly, and there was a smile that was so faint that it was almost undetectable on the corner of his lips, "Wearing and judging things, don't come here without any problems."

It was him.

Wen Yu concealed her surprise, and the etiquette rules were not bad at all, "Yuan Shaoqing, I'm being polite as an official, please give me more advice in the future."

Wen Yu really didn't dare to take it lightly.Even though she and Yuan Zhan had met for a while last year, she was always wary of Yuan Zhan.

As soon as the words fell, she heard a sigh, and she raised her eyes slightly.

Yuan Zhan seemed to have no intention of sighing, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his eyes were not as bright as before."Master Yan told me about your coming to Dali Temple some time ago, and I was very happy. It's been a year, and we are really unfamiliar."

His voice is still cold, with a slightly lower end, like the humming of a cello.

"I knew you left Beijing last year, and I was still recuperating in the mansion. I intended to see you off, but my heart was weak and I didn't have enough spare time, so I had to ask someone to give you a letter. Unexpectedly, the servant returned to the mansion an hour later and told me.You left Beijing early that morning."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Wen Yu, "Are you blaming me for not seeing you off personally?"

Yuan Zhan's expression was calm, and his tone was not questioning, but just narrating lightly, but somehow it made Wen Yu feel like he had done something wrong.

Why she left in such a hurry at that time was naturally because of senior brother that night, tsk, why would this kind of thing be reminded by different people intentionally or unintentionally, so that the memories of that night went through her mind over and over again, even if she wanted to forgetCan not forget.Wen Yu felt a little depressed, the teacher was like this, and so was Yu Xiuyue.

"How could this be? You are overthinking. The transfer order is really urgent, and the next official rushed to take up his post in such a hurry. How can I blame you. Master Yuan," Wen Yu said with the blessing of his sixth sense that suddenly flashed, and this is Master Yuan.The title came into his mouth instantly, "Brother Wenzhen, don't think too much about it."

Yuan Zhan looked at her somewhat flustered but pretending to be calm, his eyes licked and scanned Wen Yu's whole body.

Wen Yu was a little at a loss. Although Yi Xin had some ups and downs, she was completely "talking about her words". She is the boss, and she doesn't need to look at the faces of her subordinates to act.

But now this kind of scene is really embarrassing, she doesn't know what to say at all.In her previous life, she was hit by a car and died less than half a year after she entered the society. She came to this place, not to mention the hard work in the workplace.The boss is not happy about this kind of thing.

Wen Yu licked her lower lip, her eyelashes trembling from time to time.

The corners of Yuan Zhan's lips curled into a smile, and his eyes narrowed slightly, capturing her movements.Perhaps she herself didn't realize that this was a small gesture she often made when she was nervous, and it was a little interesting thing he discovered during the time he spent with Wen Yu last year.

She's already here with him, and he won't let her slip away like last year.

Yuan Zhan hid the obscure emotions in his eyes, and said slowly: "Don't panic, I know your character, it's just that I haven't seen you for a year, and I miss you a lot. I was a little out of words for a while. It made you feel uncomfortable. It should beI do apologize to you."

"Now that you have been crowned, it is different from usual. I wonder if I can call you by your name?"

Wen Yu parted his lips and teeth slightly and said, "Heng Qi. Heng is also worn, and Qi is the Qi of Qiling."

He lowered his eyes, and then smiled, a very obvious smile, "Heng Qi, welcome back to Beijing."

Yuan Zhan didn't arrange for her to start working next, but took her to familiarize herself with Dali Temple, and met Yan Duan, Qing of Dali Temple by the way.

Master Yan's expression was very serious, and he just said a few face-saving words in a procedural way, from which she could not see how this person liked and disliked her.But Mr. Yan doesn't seem to match his appearance, such a thought floated in Wen Yu's mind, and it disappeared in an instant.

A morning passed like this, the two of them had lunch, and the end of the day was about to pass.

The afternoon sun lazily sprinkled into the house, and the colorful light and shadow swayed continuously with the swaying of the big trees in the yard with the wind.

Sandalwood permeates every corner of the room invisible.

The silence speaks.

Yuan Zhan dragged his face with one hand, half-closed his eyes, seemingly unfocused, and looked in one direction casually.

I really want to hold her tightly in my arms and lock her in a place only I know.

At this time, the atmosphere was quite good, since that was the case, Wen Yu said: "Brother Wen Yu, if it is in front of other people, it is more appropriate to call you Master Yuan."

"Brother Wenpin?"

Yuan Zhan retracted his gaze and smiled slightly, "Naturally."

Wen Yu originally thought that he would go to Dali Temple with Yuan Zhan in the afternoon, but he disappeared after an hour.

It was so good, Wen Yu instantly relaxed.

She could feel that Yuan Zhan wanted to make friends with her, and she was grateful to Yuan Zhan for saving her life, but now this person has become her immediate boss, not to mention that she already has fear in her heart.

Wen Yu condemned herself for a moment, and then stretched freely, her face full of satisfaction.

Dali Temple is a seventh-rank judge, but from a remote border area to the prosperous Shengjing, she seems to be transferred at the same level, but in fact she is promoted.As many officials think, promotion but external release means promotion but demotion.

Wen Yu didn't know why he was transferred back to Beijing. After all, there were very few such cases in the past, and there were very few officials who were transferred back to Capital City solely on the basis of political achievements, and it was more due to bribery.

Although she has made some political achievements in Yixin County, it is nothing but ordinary. If others are in her position and have the same situation as her, they will naturally do the same thing.What's more, this matter is not her work alone.

Wen Yu didn't know that she was too self-effacing.

Forget it, Wen Yu rubbed her face, anyway, it is extremely rare for her to be released outside as the court flower.She really couldn't understand the thinking of these people in power.

Wen Yu flipped through the past files, and suddenly came across a case of a Dali Temple judge, looked through it with interest, but was rarely distracted after reading it.

Dali Temple is different from the local county government, and the cases reviewed are naturally not ordinary cases.Generally, criminal cases are handled by the Ministry of Criminal Justice.And these cases are not approved by Dali Temple, and other departments are not allowed to send them to prison.

Dali Temple Minister is a third-rank official, while the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is a second-rank official. Although Dali Temple Minister is nominally a head lower than the Ministry of Punishment, it cannot hold back the power of Dali Temple Minister.

Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are called the Sanfa Division. The three divisions perform their duties. The Ministry of Criminal Justice is responsible for hearing cases;The three judicial departments check each other, so that the excessive power of one department will not lead to the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.

Dali Temple houses torture and prisons.The ancients had a saying: Handling punishment is called a scholar, and it is also called reasoning."Temple" refers to the court, that is, those who have laws.And Dali Temple, in layman's terms, is a prison for dignitaries, so those who can enter the prison of Dali Temple are either rich or noble.

For example, Empress Dowager Xiao's nephew is in that prison now.This person was sentenced to death because of the salt smuggling case a few years ago, but fortunately he has a prominent status. Unfortunately, his aunt and aunt are the empress dowager, but they can only protect him from death.

As the judge of Dali Temple, Wen Yu's duty is to deal with the official documents of the case, decide the suspected prison, and push for the sentence.

Before her, there was a judge who took bribes and was sentenced to death.Wen Yu thought to himself at the time that this matter was not easy, after all, as an official who knew the laws of Daqi, he dared to take risks, even if it was beheading, he secretly concealed the clues.

She only found out today that this clue was related to Empress Dowager Xiao's nephew.

When Wen Yu was preparing for the exam in Beijing, she had heard about this incident. At first, she only thought that this imperial relative was bold, and had no other thoughts.Thinking about this again today, she suddenly realized that this person's bold actions might have something to do with Empress Dowager Xiao Jia behind the scenes.

Since the reform of Qin and Shangyang, the monopoly of salt and iron began to be implemented to control the profits of mountains and rivers.The imperial court banned salt smuggling, not only to ensure government revenue, but more importantly, to prevent local princes and wealthy businessmen from accumulating funds to affect the central government and social unrest.

Wen Yu slowly closed the file in his hand, it seems that His Majesty and the Empress Dowager are not as united as mother and child as the folks said.

On the same day, the Royal Study Room.

Xie Yu opened the memorial in his hand and sketched it with a red pen.

Seeing the memorial from the Qing Chi Mansion, he paused for a moment, his eyes fixed on the word Wen Yu.

Xie Yu: "Did Wen Yu go to Dali Temple today?"

Chief eunuch Zhao Xi: "If you go back to the emperor, I heard that today is indeed the first day of being on duty."

Xie Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't speak for a while.

"Big companion, in a few days, you remind me to transfer Wen Yu to the palace. Next spring."

"Your servant can wake up." On the surface, Zhao Xi remained calm, but he probably knew what was going on in his heart.

Xie Yu rubbed his sore eyes, and put the vermilion pen back into the pen holder.

"Big Companion, you have been with me for many years. Now the Empress Dowager is not as friendly as before. Does she think that I don't know what's going on behind her?"

Xie Yu was expressionless, and his tone was mocking.

Zhao Xi didn't dare to answer, and he also knew that the emperor didn't need him to answer at this time.

"Forget it, go and make me a cup of tea." Xie Yu waved his hand, closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair for a nap.

But before he had time to rest for a while, Saibei's urgent report arrived.

On the ninth day of September, on the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival, the Xiongnu invaded our border rampantly, and now the two sides have already started a war.

Xie Yu stared at the urgent letter in his hand with a cold look in his eyes.

Zhao Xi saw that there was something wrong with his face, but he didn't dare to speculate on his thoughts. He just offered the cup of tea in his hand and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, the tea you ordered your servant to make is ready."

Xie Yu's eyes were firmly locked on the letter, as if he could get a glimpse of the battle situation on the border of Daren from it.

Zhao Xi lowered his head, and stepped back respectfully, holding the delicate teacup in his hand without shaking at all.

Xie Yu threw the letter on the desk, and suddenly said, "Big companion, the sky is about to change."

Zhao Xi took a few steps forward and served the tea again, "Your Majesty, I don't know anything else about this servant, but I only know one thing, that is, with you here, this day will not change easily."

Xie Yu chuckled lightly. He rubbed the wrench on his thumb and glanced at Zhao Xi, "You can speak. Immediately announce the officials above rank three into the palace. I have important matters to discuss."
