The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is not an ordinary official, at least it is very different from the local officials. Yang Ze didn't know what he did. He looked dark and said that Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen were also a little ignorant of this and could not tell the reason. Yan Chenghou and Mu Gen didn't know what they were. Asking them was like asking them in vain.

The next morning, Yang Ze got up early. Before dawn, he went out, rode his horse and took his three apprentices to Dali Temple to report. He also sent Yan Chenghou out and asked Yan Chenghou to sort out the house. They lived there for the evening and became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He changed from a military position to a civil position. The military officer could no longer live there, so he had to move the place.

When I walked on the main road, although it was not dawn, Chang'an was no better than other places. The country's capital was naturally bustling and prosperous. There were already many pedestrians on the road, and some shops were even opened, especially shops selling breakfast, which were even more open. This was the business of the officials who went to Dao. At the time of Mao, they called them. Many officials, especially the small officials at the bottom, had to get up before Mao, rush to the yamen, and buy some food on the road, and deal with it. It was quite convenient.

Yang Ze found a small restaurant, had a simple breakfast, asked the shop owner clearly about the way to Dali Temple, and then went there, and arrived just before Mao hour.

When he arrived at the yamen of Dali Temple, Yang Ze looked at the gate and was shocked. The storefront of Dali Temple was built quite grandly. No matter what, it was the Supreme Court of the Dafang Empire. The style was necessary, but there was no pedestrian at the yamen. It seemed that when the pedestrians arrived here, they deliberately took a detour and were unwilling to pass by. The huge yamen was empty and there was no figure.

Yang Ze thought to himself: "How does this Dali Temple look like? It makes people feel a gloomy, as if they are similar to the Hall of Yama."

Fu Bingrong said in the back: "Master, is this Dali Temple? It feels like a little bloody. I have goose bumps on my body!"

Yang Ze looked back and saw that Tan Zhengwen and Mu Gen had a creepy expression on their faces. He said, "I have this expression too. Maybe it's an illusion. This is at least one of the three corps yamen, an open and upright place. Let's knock on the door!" He got off the horse and arrived at the door and knocked on the knocker.

After knocking on the door, someone shouted loudly inside. As soon as the door opened, there was a burly man standing on the facade. The man's eyes were protruding and his face was fierce. His eyes were also very bad, and he was staring at Yang Ze outside the door fiercely.

Yang Ze was startled, took a step back, and said, "Dare you ask this general, is this Dali Temple?"

The big man's eyes were even more protruding, and he shouted, "Isn't there a plaque on the door? Do you know the word? You can make mistakes in such places, you're not going to die, right?" As he said that, he was about to close the door.

Yang Ze was stunned. What happened? The tone of this man was so bad, and I didn't offend him. Yang Ze said: "It would be great if it was Dali Temple. I am the newly appointed Shaoqing of Dali Temple. I came to report today. Open the door and I want to go in." His tone of speaking became stiff and his eyes also glared.

This time, the big man was stunned for a moment, his attitude changed immediately, nodded and opened the door, and said, "It turns out that it is Lord Yang, please come in quickly. Please come in quickly. I received the notice yesterday and was still wondering, Yang Shaoqing, when will you come? But I never expected that you arrived so early, but today is not the day of Paiya. I am afraid that you will not see our Lord Hou."

Yang Ze entered the gate and looked at the main hall in front of him. Seeing that there was no one in the main hall. When he looked at the yard, he saw that there was nothing in the yard, no flowers or grass, no green at all. Moreover, in this yard, whether it was the doors, windows or pillars, it was all black. Even the tiles on the room were black, only the walls and steps were white. It seemed that in the front yard of Dali Temple, there were only two colors of black and white.

The creepy feeling became even stronger. Yang Ze turned around and asked the man: "Why are you the only one here? Other people? Don't tell me that if you don't have any days without yamen, you won't use them."

The big man actually nodded immediately and said with a smile: "When it comes to Lord Yang, our Dali Temple is different from other yamen. There are not many things to do in the daily life. If there is no yamen, the adults really don't have to be on duty. We are not worth it here, but when we get busy, it will be day and night."

Yang Ze was silent for a while, not sure why Dali Temple was like this, but this was not a good time to ask questions. He said, "Then who should I report to? I have to do this procedure!"

The big man said, "Our Dali Temple is really different from other yamen. The procedures for the transfer of officials are handled directly by the Ministry of Personnel. Yesterday, someone from the Ministry of Personnel notified him, which means that your procedures have been completed. So you are willing to stay here later. If the young ones will accompany you. If you want to go home and rest, just leave directly. The day after tomorrow is the day of the yamen, and you will be able to come."

Tan Zhengwen said at the back: "Where is this Dali Temple? It doesn't feel like a yamen."

But Mu Gen said, "I think it's like a big prison, but there are no prisoners here, but it makes people feel scared as soon as they come in. You are the only one who guards the door here. Can such a big place be managed? What if someone steals things?"

Tan Zhengwen yelled and said, "Who dares to come to the yamen to steal things!"

The big man smiled and said, "I heard from Lord Yang and these people that I have just transferred to Beijing. If you want to talk about our Chang'an, the little thief is so brave. Someone really steals things from the yamen. However, they are all insiders. It is hard to guard against thieves in the family! Our Dali Temple has also lost things before, but in the past ten years, we have never lost anything."

Yang Ze looked around again and nodded, "Yes, there is nothing to steal, the yard is very clean." He walked towards normal, wanting to visit, but after all, this place will be his own office in the future. He has to go around the front yard and the back yard.

The big man talks a lot. It is probably because it is too quiet here and there is no one talking to him. As soon as people come, he talks too much. Following Yang Ze, he said, "It's not that there is nothing to steal. There are so many things here, but no matter how many things you steal, you can't use them. And if you want to sell them, you can't sell them!"

Yang Ze walked into normalcy. As soon as he entered the gate, his hair almost exploded! It was bright at this time. Although the light in the lobby was not good enough, he could see the decorations inside clearly. His previous feeling of how this place looked like the Hall of Yama, was even stronger, and he almost thought that this was the Hall of Yama on earth!

I saw a screen in the middle of the lobby, with paintings, chairs in front, and large cases in front of the chairs. This is no different from an ordinary yamen, but looking left and right, there are various torture instruments, including dozens of them. They are placed on special wooden stands. The wooden stands are also black, and the torture instruments are also black, and even the floor in the hall is black marble!

Yang Ze could no longer bear it. He asked the man: "Why are the lobby black? Could it be that the Dali Temple Minister particularly likes this color? The settings in the hall should belong to the national public instrument. Can this be changed at will?"

The big man followed Yang Ze all the time. Although he was not too flattering, he could be considered respectful. After hearing Yang Ze's question, he hurriedly said, "The black one is good. He got blood and couldn't see it. This color is not what we Lord Hou wants to change, but the eldest princess. The eldest princess is the law of our Dali Temple. What color she wants to use, then what color it must be."

Yang Ze thought to himself: "Can this Dali Temple be the territory of the eldest princess? But she was too arrogant and actually made a dignified yamen like this."

But Fu Bingrong slapped his thigh from behind and said, "No wonder. I smelled the smell of blood here before I entered the door. There were so many torture instruments here, and there was blood on each part!"

The big man smiled and said, "There are not many torture instruments here, just a small part, and they cannot take lives. Those torture instruments that really cost human life are all in the backyard, and there are houses dedicated to criminal trials. Basically, the cases handled in the lobby have the hope of going out alive, and those who enter the backyard are basically waiting for their family to collect the body. Of course, his family must not be arrested. When we handle cases here, we always like to arrest the whole family as soon as we catch them."

Yang Ze was shocked. He felt that the Dali Temple in the Empress's era was similar to the Jinyiwei Yamen in another time and space, and even it was even better!

Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen stopped talking, and even Mu Gen didn't say anything. They all felt that the Dali Temple in front of them was too terrible. Although there was no bull-headed horse face inside, it was even more terrifying than having bull-headed horse face!

After a while, Yang Ze said: "Go to the backyard to take a look. You can take us to see the trial rooms. I want to see what torture instruments are there."

The big man led everyone to the backyard. There was no difference between the backyard and the front yard, but the yard was smaller and there were more than a dozen side yards, far exceeding the ordinary yamen. However, there was no one in each yard, and it was quiet, like a dead house.

The man led Yang Ze to visit the yard one by one. He said, "Other yamen are all front yamen and back houses, but our Dali Temple is not. No adult is willing to live here. This is one of them. The second is that our case often arrests a large family, and they are all royal families, and there are often hundreds of people. If these people need to be resettled, the prison cells are naturally more, so the houses here are basically all prison rooms."

Yang Ze frowned and said, "You can see the entire yamen alone, so there are no other servants?"

The man hurriedly said, "Yes, they haven't come yet, but it's only three o'clock when the sun rises. At that time, they will be able to come with yang energy. Otherwise, the yin energy in this place is too heavy and normal people can't stand it. If it weren't for the villain's duty, to be honest, the villain wouldn't be willing to stay here. There were no people nearby, and no officials from other yamen came, and even more so the royal family members would not come. If they came, it would mean that they had committed a crime. So our Dali Temple..." He yelled twice and didn't say anything.

Yang Ze also understood that no one wanted to get close to such a living hellish place. After looking at several trial rooms, he felt that the smell of blood was too heavy. I don’t know how many royal families were tortured to death in the house. It was estimated that there were bloody cases in each trial room. He felt a little irritable and didn’t want to watch it again, so he took the people back to the front yard.

The man saw that he was leaving and suddenly said, "Mr. Yang, the former Shaoqing was executed two months ago and was stripped of the grass. The man was still hanging in the wing room. Do you want to take a look?"

Although it was bright and the weather was not cold, and there was no wind, Yang Ze still dared to feel a chill behind his back!
