Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 67
Bianhe Street.

"Third brother! Hold on! Kaifeng Mansion is just ahead, third brother, third brother..."

Li Si supported Zhang Fei, who seemed to be on the verge of death, and limped along the street, crying, tears streaming down his face.

"What happened to these two people?"

"Look at their bruises and swollen faces. Could it be that they were robbed?"

"Huh? Isn't that Er Bi Zhang San?"

"Ah! It's really Zhang San Li Si."

"It seems that they are going to Kaifeng Mansion."

"Let's go and see what's going on?"

Kaifeng House.

It's already afternoon now, and seeing that the office is about to be released, the office staff at the door gradually became a little absent-minded, and began to chat, like elementary school students looking forward to school.

One of the office managers let out a long sigh of relief: "Oh, it's finally our turn to take a vacation."

Another clerk said: "It should have been released a long time ago, it's all thanks to that Zhang San."

"Don't mention Zhang San, I don't want to see him again."

"Now you can't see him even if you want to. He can't even go to class now, so why come here? Go to jail?"

"Zhang Zhangsan?"

"Who are you scaring, I won't be fooled by you."

"No. Look quickly, it's really Zhang San."

Ya cha pointed to the front, trembling lips.

The other clerk turned his head and saw a pig-headed boy walking over with the help of someone, none other than Zhang Fei.

There are more than [-] or [-] people behind him, eagerly looking forward to it curiously.

"Hurry up and report to the magistrate, that Zhang San is here again."

The yamen at the gate is really like an enemy.

After a while, Li Si led Zhang Fei to the gate of the government office.

The servant who stayed behind pointed to Zhang Fei and said, "Zhang San, why are you here?"

Zhang Fei, who was still dying just now, slowly raised his head, looked at the servant with blurred eyes, the arm hanging on Li Si's shoulder swayed from side to side, "Hello, brother!"

The clerk said angrily: "It will be bad to see you."

"Brother Cha, forgive me, I actually don't want to come here, but you have also seen that we are seriously injured now!"

The clerk saw that Li Si's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, while Zhang Fei only had a bruise on his cheek, but he was covering his abdomen with one hand, and he couldn't even stand still. It seemed that the injury was worse, and he felt extremely happy!

Deserving it!
Your kid also has today.

God!O earth!This is which fairy sister appeared.

I heard Zhang Fei continue to say: "The reason why we are seriously injured is because we were beaten up just now. In the capital of Song Dynasty, I believe that this kind of thing is not what the prefect Lu wants to see. so.!"

While he was telling the story, Li Si moved secretly, and at this time he had come to Dengwen Drum.

It was only when he picked up the drumstick that the clerk came to his senses, his face turned pale from fright, and he raised his hands and feet together, "Stop it!"

It was too late, Zhang Fei swung the drum stick and hit the drum hard.

Bang bang bang!
Drums sounded.

The crowd behind them suddenly cheered up.

Zhang Sanchong came to Kaifeng Mansion.

This time there is a good show to watch.

Inside the house.

At this moment, Mr. Lu was busy with some official duties and was about to take a vacation, when he heard the sound of drums outside the mansion, he couldn't help being startled, "Who is playing the drums?"

For some reason, Zhang Fei was the first thing that came to his mind, but then he realized that it was impossible for Zhang Fei to play the drums now.

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he saw a servant running to the door, clasped his fists and said, "Report to the magistrate, that Zhang San is here again."

"Is it really Zhang San?"

Mr. Lu got up suddenly, even a fair and strict official like him couldn't stand this fellow.

Come and beat the drums at every turn!

Really regard Kaifeng Mansion as a toilet.

The key point is that Zhang San no longer has the right to litigate.

But when he saw Zhang San and Li Si helping each other in, he couldn't help being taken aback, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Fei pulled his belt, revealing the huge shoe print on his abdomen, and said: "Report to the magistrate, we were beaten."

Well played!
The thoughts of everyone in the hall here.

Including works by Lu Gong.

The master Huang Gui frowned and said, "Who told you that if you are beaten, you can come to Kaifeng mansion to play drums?"

The drums of Kaifeng Mansion can't be beaten randomly.

In Li Siyi's case, Zhang Fei didn't play drums either.

This Kaifeng mansion should correspond to the city government, and Mr. Lu is more responsible for the mayor, but he also takes care of the president of the Supreme Court of Kaifeng mansion at the same time.

However, within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, there are as many as five courts, and many judges, whether it is a civil dispute or a criminal case, usually go to those five courts.

After they finished the trial and handed out the verdict, Lu Gong will review the work again, and if there are no mistakes or omissions, the verdict will be announced to the outside world.

The process is roughly the same.

Lu Gongzhu's main responsibility is farmland water conservancy, economy and people's livelihood, not solving cases. Unless it involves officials or major criminal cases, Lu Gongzhu will personally try them.

The Li Siyi case should not have come to Kaifeng Mansion in the first place, but Mr. Lu also wanted to touch Zhang Fei at that time, and Zhang Fei's various tricks aroused public resentment, so he tried it himself.

Zhang Fei said weakly: "This Xiaomin knows, but this time Xiaomin was beaten, Kaifeng Mansion cannot escape the responsibility, and the prefect is also one of the parties involved, so Xiaomin can only come here to seek justice from the magistrate."

related to me?Lu Gong asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "Yesterday Xiaomin just moved out of Xu's residence, and just stepped into his new home, he was covered with a sack by several masked men, and beat Xiaomin severely."

Lu Gong wrote and asked: "What does this have to do with Kaifeng Mansion?"

Zhang Fei said: "Xiao Min first came to Bianjing not long ago. He didn't know many people, and he offended even a handful of people. That is, he filed a lawsuit for Li Si. And this lawsuit was fought in Kaifeng Mansion, and in the end it was also The Kaifeng Mansion mediated, but the result was that Xiaomin was attacked and retaliated not long after, if this got out, who would dare to come to the Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint."

Lu Gong's expression gradually became serious, "You mean that Chen Yuteng sent someone to beat you?"

Zhang Fei shook his head.

Lu Gong said: "Then what do you mean?"

Zhang Fei said, "I think it was Wang Sinong who asked someone to beat me up."

"Wang Sinong?"

Lu Gong said in surprise.

"Yes."

"What evidence do you have?" Lu Gong asked.

Zhang Fei said: "When Xiaomin was defending Li Si, Wang Sinong once came to Xiaomin and threatened and lured him, but Xiaomin did not agree to him at that time, and even angrily accused him of violating the law."

Lu Gong frowned and said, "Why didn't you say that?"

If this is the case, then Zhang Fei certainly has the right to come here to beat the drums and complain, which not only involves revenge, but also involves court ministers.

Zhang Fei sighed: "For Xiaomin, it is natural to hope that one thing more is worse than one thing less!"

Yeah?How can you believe in Lu Gong's work, and asked again: "Do you have evidence?"

Zhang Fei said: "It was broad daylight, someone must have seen it."

Mr. Lu pondered for a while, and said: "But even so, it can't prove that Wang Sinong threatened you."

Zhang Fei said: "Yes! Wang Si Nong specially came to meet me, a man who has never been masked, for tea and chat."

Lu Gong snorted and said, "Don't talk so glibly here, this official will find out."

Zhang Fei said: "This is exactly what Xiaomin expected."

When it comes to Wang Sinong, Lu Gong can't ignore it.

The judiciary of the Song Dynasty actually allowed the people to sue the government acquiescingly, because there is no legal provision prohibiting it, and there may be differences in places, but Kaifeng Prefecture has many precedents, and Kaifeng Prefecture also attaches great importance to this kind of case.

The reason is very simple, Bianjing is full of scholar-bureaucrats, if Kaifeng Mansion cannot be the master of the people, who will put Kaifeng Mansion in their eyes, this also involves a power issue.

As Zhang Fei said, his beating may be a continuation of the Li Siyi case, and Lu Gong, who was involved in the mediation at the beginning, was naturally responsible.

So Lu Gong asked Huang Gui to take Zhang Fei down to record the confession.

Just as Zhang Fei was taken down, Li Kai hurriedly came here, "I heard that Zhang San is here again?"

Lu Gong said: "The confession is being recorded."

Li Kai wondered: "Is he not qualified to go to court to argue now?"

Lu Gong said: "He is here to sue, not to argue."

"Sue? Sue who?"

"Wang Sinong."

Lu Gongzhu told Li Kai the ins and outs of the whole incident.

Li Kaidao: "I think he is really tired of work, just what he said, why should he sue Wang Sinong for buying murder and hurting others? But it's even bigger."

Lu Gong wrote and sighed: "It is precisely because it involves Wang Sinong and Li Siyi's case that I decided to accept the case. As for the result, it depends on whether evidence can be found. We only need to deal with it impartially."

Li Kai said with a wry smile: "How to check this, that kid didn't even see clearly the person who beat him."

Mr. Lu pondered for a while, and said, "Go to Wang Sinong's house first and ask, did he ever go to see Zhang San during the trial of Li Siyi's case?"

"Miss Xu!"

After Zhang Fei and Li Si recorded their statements, they just left the house when Xu Zhiqian hurried over.

"You... how did you become like this?"

Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but turn pale with shock when she saw Li Si who was like a pig.

This is just a blink of an eye.

When Zhang Fei saw this woman, he was furious, "You crow's mouth."

Crow's mouth?
Xu Zhiqian was taken aback for a moment, then thought of what she said in the morning, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"You're still laughing, ouch!"

Zhang Fei was so angry that he didn't pay attention for a while, and pulled the wound again.

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly: "If I had this ability, you would have died countless times."

"Wow, it's the most poisonous woman's heart!"

"Okay! You're so hurt and talkative. Go to my house and stay."

Xu House.

How happy I was when I left this morning, how embarrassing it is to come back now.

Xu Zun didn't care about these things, he just said: "You are really impulsive this time, it is not wrong for you to go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue, but you can't sue the court ministers without any evidence, you know the consequences ?”

Zhang Fei frowned and said: "I know this, but this is only a small case. People are beaten every day. If I don't sue Wang Sinong, the Kaifeng government will not take it seriously, and it is very likely that it will be left alone. If this is the case , then they can send someone to beat me every now and then, and I have to resist."

Xu Zun frowned, "That being said, you have no evidence, you should discuss it with me first, and I will urge the court to investigate the case. If Wang Shinong sues you, the consequences can be big or small. !"

Zhang Fei asked, "Did En Gong think he would bite me back?"

Xu Zun frowned and said, "I think it's very possible."

Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard that, "That's good! I'm afraid he won't tell."

Xu Zhiqian asked in surprise, "Did you get confused?"

Zhang Fei glanced at her angrily: "I'm very sober, and now it's just an investigation, which is out of my control, and I don't think Kaifeng Mansion can find the person who beat me. But if Wang Shinong bites me back, then this time If the case becomes a lawsuit, as long as it becomes a lawsuit, then I can give full play to my ability."

Xu Zhiqian wondered: "You don't even have any evidence, so what are you going to use to fight him?"

Zhang Fei said: "Mouth! I will bite him hard. I want this lawsuit to make his family uneasy. Just wait. I want them to understand how this rascal should be treated."

rogue?

Not right!

What do you want to do?
Xu Zun couldn't help looking at him.

Zhang Fei also noticed it, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, I was also forced to do nothing, and I am much better than them, at least I used fair methods."

Xu Zun pondered for a while and asked, "Can I help you?"

Zhang Fei said: "I only ask benefactor to help me get a fair trial."

Without Xu Zun's support, he really wouldn't be able to play tricks like this.

Xu Zun nodded.
