Chapter 207: Promotion and Governance

Chapter 207: Promotion and Governance

On the 17th day of the first month, in the Criminal Department's main hall, under the direction of Lin Delu, representatives from the Criminal Division gathered to congratulate Sun Shaozong.

"Congratulations on your double happiness!"

There should have been a handover ceremony, but Liu Chongshan was not very happy when he got the job of Yunnan Superintend Envoy, so he simply asked for sick leave.

However, this was not a bad thing because if they flatter Sun Shaozong, they would have fewer scruples.

The disadvantage was that it took about an hour to complete the whole process of his subordinates congratulating him. RêAd lateSt chapters at novelhall.com Only

Sun Shaozong also received a full set of seals from the officials in charge of governance, which gave him time to look at the pattern of the five main halls.

In fact, it was not necessary to look at it. After all, he has never been here before. But at this time, when he looked at the layout of the furnishings, his mood was quite different.

"Your Excellency."

At this time, Lin Delu turned back from the outside and came forward with a smile, saying, "I rearranged everything according to your preferences a few days in advance. If you see anything else that needs to be added, you may as well order me to do so."

"Alright."

Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said, "Today, I have heard enough flattery. Tell me something useful. Do you know who will succeed in the position of Assistant Magistrate?"

"I don't know either."

Lin Delu immediately shook his head, but then added, "But according to the rules, since you are promoted, your successor should be transferred elsewhere."

External transfer?

He hoped that the person transferred here would be someone who could work steadily.

Lin Delu and others were clever, but they were not a good choice. They were not ready to investigate the case alone.

As for Qiu Yunfei... Let's not mention it.

Sun Shaozong could also shoulder a lighter burden if the person taking over would be a veteran.

"That's right."

Sun Shaozong remembered one thing and then explained, "I will not participate in the evening party, and you can preside over it. The silver will be taken from the private treasury first, and I will make up for it if it is not enough."

"How can we spend money?" Lin Delu hurriedly said, "Just leave it to me."

With that, he took out a white marble long-life lock from his sleeve and offered it with both hands, saying, "Your Honor has given birth to a son, and there is nothing to be taken out of me. Only this toy is a token of sympathy."

Ascend!

Sun Shaozong has been engaged in criminal investigations for more than ten years, but the job of a Judge was his first time. Naturally, he felt new, so he quickly asked, "What are these cases?"

Lin Delu picked up two files from the table and said, "One is Zhang in Fengwei Lane, who accuses the Zhou family of colluding with traffickers and abducting his grandson at the Lantern Festival."

Sun Shaozong frowned and said, "Since the two families are relatives, isn't the grandson of the Zhang family the grandson of the Zhou family?"

The Grandpa sued the Grandfather for colluding with traffickers and abducting his grandson?

What's with the mess?!

"Master, there are two sons in the Zhang family. The daughter of the Zhou family married the eldest son, but the lost grandson is the child of the second son of the Zhang family."

It sounded like a tongue twister.

Sun Shaozong then said, "Bring the file, and I'll read it myself."

Lin Delu hurriedly presented the dossier, and Sun Shaozong looked at it at a glance. Then he realized that it was the elder brother of the eldest daughter-in-law who took the children of Zhang and Zhou to the Lantern Festival, only to lose the children of the second son of the Zhang family.

Because the Zhou family was born to a daughter, which was not very popular, the Old Man of the Zhang family suspected that the Zhou family was colluding with the traffickers and wanted to break the bloodline of his Zhang family so that he could swallow the family property given to his granddaughter by the Zhou family.

This matter...

It looked like Old Man Zhang was making trouble for nothing.

Throwing the file on the Kang table, Sun Shaozong said, "How did Lord Liu deal with such cases before?"

Lin Delu reluctantly shook his head and said, "It's just the word, ”harmony.” After all, the Zhou family is wrong, but it's not illegal."

"Then let it go first and let both sides calm down."

Sun Shaozong also said, "In addition, let Zhao Wuwei arrange more people, and then check carefully to see if he can find the abducted child."

That was the right thing to do, but Sun Shaozong himself knew that there was no hope. Even in later generations, kidnapping was still a problem, let alone at present.

"What about the other case?"

"It is an Old Man who accuses his son of disobedience and unfiliality."

Disobedience and unfiliality?

Sun Shaozong took the file and glanced at it. Seeing that the above actions were extremely vicious, he said flatly, "Send a few people to visit the neighbor's house, and then inform the Old Man that I will go to the Court tomorrow... Hmm, the day after tomorrow!"
