Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 114 Withdraw!
what?
Give him tea?
Didn't you see that this guy called us pigs again, and even put us on the hat of unworthy descendants?

Many jurors were deeply dissatisfied with what Wang Anshi had done.

This guy is a traitor among bureaucrats!
Seeing us in such a mess, you actually serve tea to this fellow?

It really makes no sense.

When Wang Anshi met Sima Guang, an old fox, he had no choice but to grab a cup of tea and cover half of his face.

Invisible!
can not hear!
Tea is served.

Xu Zhiqian actively poured tea for Zhang Fei.

The debate just now was really exciting, and she was also very excited watching it. At this time, she is really willing to serve Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei muttered: "Will it be poisonous?"

Xu Zhiqian's hands trembled when she heard this, she spilled a few drops, and said in a low voice, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhang Fei said: "Look at their eyes, they seem to eat me alive, what if I get poisoned?"

The atmosphere was already tense, Xu Zhiqian secretly glanced at Liu Shu and other officials, was immediately infected by Zhang Fei's conspiracy theory, and said in a low voice: "Why don't I try it first."

She was completely immersed in the lawsuit, she didn't think about anything else, she just wanted to win the lawsuit, so Zhang Fei was determined not to fail, just like protecting the coach on the battlefield.

Zhang Fei immediately looked at Xu Zhiqian with emotion.

Xu Zhiqian also came to her senses, her pretty face flushed immediately, and said angrily, "It's all your fault, why do you want tea, now that the tea is here, if you don't drink it, what will they think?"

"Those who scare you, you really believe it."

Zhang Fei chuckled, picked up the cup of tea, drank it down in one gulp, smashed it down, "It's comfortable."

Xu Zhiqian stomped lightly and said, "Are you still in the mood to joke at this time?"

Zhang Fei said: "Didn't you see that I already have the chance to win? The next step is to humiliate them."

Hey!You also chatted.

Wang Anshi's eyes lit up immediately, the opportunity came, but just as he opened his mouth, Sima Guang reprimanded him first: "If you want to chat, go home and chat. This is Dali Temple, and you will not be allowed to be presumptuous."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Zhang Fei nodded hurriedly.

Wang Anshi glanced at Sima Guang very depressed, and said in a low voice, "You want to grab this too?"

He also wanted to show that he was not a traitor!
Sima Guang looked innocent: "Oh! I didn't know what you were going to say. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it. You didn't see that everyone was already very dissatisfied with this. This kind of behavior must be stopped immediately."

Wang Anshi snorted.

"About this case.!"

Zhang Fei looked at the process and said, "I have prepared some examples."

Xu Zhiqian got up immediately and distributed another case file to each juror.

Zhang Fei said: "What the judges have now is a case of cattle murder that happened in Chuzhou in the fifth year of Qingli. The process of this case is very simple. It is about a local tenant farmer. All along, this tenant farmer has been very Diligently plowing land and grazing cattle for the employer. One day, the cattle suddenly went mad and ran towards the hillside, and the tenant farmer desperately grabbed the cattle, and as a result, the cattle and humans rolled down the hillside together, and both of them died."

As he said that, he looked down at the case file in front of him again, "After that, the employer sued the tenant farmer for killing his cattle and sought compensation. At first, the local county government ordered the tenant farmer to pay compensation, but the tenant farmer's family refused to accept it, so they continued to appeal. , In the end, the lawsuit was brought to the prefecture of Chuzhou, and Ouyang Xianggong, who was the prefect of Chuzhou at that time, tried it himself.

As a result, Ouyang Xianggong sentenced the employer to pay thirty guan to the tenant farmer and to be responsible for the funeral. The reason Ouyang Xianggong gave was that the state should also provide pensions for Chinese soldiers who died in battle.And the tenant farmer lost his life while farming for his employer, so the employer was ordered to pay compensation. "

The Mr. Ouyang in his mouth is Ouyang Xiu.

Regarding the ancient work-related injury system, Zhang Fei really knows it very well, because he has learned it from the Northern Song Dynasty, and it is one of the contents of Wang Anshi's reform.

But it hasn't appeared yet.

However, some states also have industrial injury cases.

It is impossible for Wang Anshi to imagine the new law out of thin air, and he must have enacted the new law based on some cases.

Lu Gong knew a lot about this case, and he had studied it before, so he asked, "What does this have to do with this case?"

Zhang Fei didn't answer and asked instead: "I wonder if the magistrate Lu thinks Ouyang Xianggong's sentence is reasonable or not?"

Lu Gong nodded and said, "Very reasonable."

Zhang Fei looked around at the crowd again, "You judges, do you think there is something wrong with this punishment?"

Everyone nodded involuntarily, indicating that there was no problem.

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian again.

Xu Zhiqian got up again and sent them a copy of the case file.

Liu Shu had never seen such a lawsuit before, and said impatiently: "You just say what you want, why bother to make a fuss."

It looks annoying.

Zhang Fei replied: "There is no evidence for what you say."

".?"

Liu Shu was speechless. Looking through the file, it was written that this was the whole story of Shi Dalang's case.

Zhang Fei coughed: "Every judge, do you feel a little familiar?"

Sima Guang said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Zhang Fei said: "Everyone may wish to compare the two files."

Everyone was right as they said, and suddenly realized.

Zhang Fei swept his eyes and said with a smile: "I believe that everyone has also discovered the problem. The two files only change the name and replace the cultivated land with escort. Other than that, there is no difference, but the results faced by the two are It's quite the opposite."

"You are changing the concept secretly and playing with the words cleverly."

Qi Hui said: "The two things cannot be confused."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The only difference between the two things is that the employer has to pay the tenant farmers, but the imperial court does not need to pay any compensation to Yaqian. It is mandatory, obligatory and free."

Qi Hui said, yes!

Is it really good to put exploitation so bluntly?

Zhang Fei said again: "It's a pity that Mr. Ouyang is not in court at the moment, otherwise, I really want to hear Mr. Ouyang's opinion on this case."

Liu Shu said: "According to what the Cao official said, it was Shi Dalang who insisted on following the river course, which caused this disaster."

Zhang Fei said: "Since ancient times, there have been countless incompetent generals, but even they have not shifted the responsibility of defeating the battle to the soldiers below. If Yaqian can make a decision, why do we need Cao officials?
But this is not what we are going to argue about today. The investigation is a matter for the government. We want to see if this case violates the law of the ancestors. "

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Zhiqian again.

Xu Zhiqian got up again and handed out a case file to everyone.

How much did he prepare?
drunk!

These old men are really drunk!

They thought they were very thin, but compared with Zhang Fei, they realized that they were thick.

After Xu Zhiqian came back and sat beside him, Zhang Fei said: "What all the judges are seeing now are some discussions about the Yaqian battle by the key ministers from the Renzong Dynasty to the present.

For example, Han Xianggong, the elder of the three dynasties today. "

Han Qi, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly felt extremely pleasantly surprised, hey, he even talked about me.

It's like reading an online article, and suddenly seeing yourself playing tricks in it, and she is also a positive person, the surprise is indescribable!

Zhang Fei really didn't know that Han Qi was there, but Han Qi also made fine-tuning on this errand law, and read it according to the copy: "Mr. Some widows and mothers remarry, relatives are separated, or they abandon their land to others to avoid being superior, or they are forced to live alone'. It is also said, "The rich have more than enough rest, and the poor are defeated one after another."

Han Qi stroked his beard and tried his best to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.

This kid has a future.

Fu Bi secretly glanced at Han Qi, but smiled secretly.

He knew that Han Qi was a bit tricky.

The jurors knew that Han Qi was here, so they could only nod in agreement.

As far as the matter is concerned, Han Qi's words really vividly described the pain that the Yaqian battle brought to the people.

It is very, very sad indeed.

Zhang Fei added: "There are still some public security problems caused by the Yaqian campaign, and countless scattered families have been destroyed. According to records, there are 32 cases of encircling and suppressing grass bandits, all related to the Yaqian campaign. It is a great hidden danger for the country that the common people fall into the grass and become bandits."

Sima Guang just glanced at it and didn't look at it.

He can really memorize these things backwards, after all, he is a man who has written a comprehensive guide to governance.

Zhang Fei continued: "Whether it's in the Renzong dynasty or the first emperor's period, the government and the public have almost reached a consensus that the Yaqian campaign is really a bad government. I wonder if the judges agree?"

A moment of silence.

This is not only the consensus reached during Renzong's period, but also the consensus of the current government and the public. Sima Guang also believes that this is a serious problem.

But there is no way to solve it.

Everyone also knew what Zhang Fei was going to say next, but they couldn't stop it, they could only watch him perform.

Zhang Fei waited for a while, seeing no one answered, and said: "Then here comes the problem. This is a bad government that has existed for decades, but it is still being implemented and has not been improved at all. The law of the ancestors requires prevention So, does this case violate the law of the ancestors?"

This ancestral law is to prevent the occurrence of maladministration, and this maladministration has survived for decades, which should be classified as knowing the law and breaking the law, and the crime is aggravated.

Lu Hui coughed, and said with little confidence: "Your words are wrong, and you have written clearly on it. Many key ministers have written about this matter, and the court has also made some amendments."

He is also a little wronged, and we want to prevent it, but we can't prevent it!
Zhang Fei said: "I'm just defending Shi Erlang. I haven't seen any improvement in the matter of historians. Let's see how the court handles this case.

A Cao official confiscated the historian's family property without any investigation after saying a few words, and his brother and wife were immediately demoted to official slaves and maidservants.Do you judges really respect the law of ancestors?The law of the ancestors is a government to prevent corruption, and you are condoning the corruption and doing the opposite. "

If the official bank is lost, if it is not replaced, many officials will have to be held accountable. Therefore, if something happens, get the money first to ensure that you are not losing money, and then talk about justice.

Liu Shu became annoyed and said, "This important national event is not as simple as you imagine."

Zhang Fei said: "For decades, the bad government is still there, and there is no improvement. I am a common man, and I dare not make irresponsible comments on whether the ministers of the court are incompetent, but... how should I understand this problem?"

Liu Shu blew his beard and stared, "Who do you say is incompetent?"

It's all a personal attack.

Zhang Fei said: "If you have the ability, but don't implement anti-corruption policies, you will commit crimes knowingly. This intention is even more incomprehensible to ordinary people."

What do you mean?If you want to continue talking, then I will not seek power and usurp the throne!
Liu Shu couldn't help looking at Sima Guang with ashen face.

Brother!

we see again

Otherwise, let's withdraw first!

Lu Hui, Qi Hui and other jurors also gradually became tired.

They are all officials, with a lot of scruples, some words are difficult to say, and at the same time, they still have to bear the responsibility of this bad governance, who let them enjoy high officials and generous salaries.

At this point in the lawsuit, they already feel that there is no chance of winning, and if they continue to fight, there will be no gain other than humiliating themselves.

Fortunately, they can cheat.

This is their disadvantage, but also their advantage.

I can unplug the network cable.

Unexpectedly!

Sima Guang understood, and couldn't help looking at Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi said in a low voice, "I can continue the trial."

Sima Guang sighed: "You are shameless, we want more! Let's call it a day!"

With such a miserable battle situation, the imperial court lost all face, and it would be a shame to continue arguing.

".!"

Wang Anshi said with a chuckle: "If you want face, you can be a good person. You are really a villain."

Sima Guang said loudly: "Then you can do this good man."

Wang Anshi said: "I did not admit defeat."

"Then I'll say it."

"It's not the first time you've escaped anyway."

".!"

Sima Guang couldn't be bothered to argue with him, so he coughed: "This case is very complicated, and it is related to the law of the ancestors. I am afraid that the trial will not be clear in one day. I think you are also quite tired. Today, the trial will end here first. What do you think?"

Zhang Fei suddenly asked Xu Zhiqian: "Madam Xu, is there anything else you want to add?"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were furious.

It was blatantly humiliating.

The key thing Sima Guang asked was not you!

Xu Zhiqian blushed, how dare she make a sound!

"Retire!"

Sima Guang didn't bother to pay attention to him.

　Two updates resume today, one in the morning and one at [-]:[-] pm
