Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 69
The words have already been said on this point, that is, the tip of the needle is right.

Duke Lu sent someone to tell Wang Wenshan that if he wanted to sue Zhang Fei, he would have to take him to court.

After all, neither of you can produce concrete evidence.

If they don't do this, the Kaifeng government may take the blame.

Lu Gongzhu naturally didn't want his reputation to be ruined by these two people.

Although he was unhappy with Zhang Fei, he also believed that Wang Wenshan also had an unshirkable responsibility when the matter got to this point. If Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and other upright ministers encountered such a thing, they would be afraid to avoid suspicion. Will take the initiative to find Zhang Fei.

Wang Wenshan agreed directly, and said that he must go to court with Zhang Fei.

This atmosphere has already been created, even if he took half a step back, it would be an expression of guilt.

The point is that he doesn't think that Zhang Fei has evidence, and he is not afraid at all.

Both sides acted very tough.

Straight to the climax!

Immediately there was a commotion all over the city.

The common people hurriedly bought melon seeds and waited for this big show to take place.

This matter has continued on and off for so long, there must be a big ending!
Bad tail and no asshole.

At the same time, Wang Wenshan also cried in the court, saying that he was blackmailed by Zhang Fei last time because he thought that his nephew was at fault first, so he chose to give in, but he didn't expect this result in exchange.

In terms of results, Wang Wenshan's words are of course more credible.

After all, in the case of Li Si, the amount of compensation was indeed a record in the landlord world.

In the eyes of most people, this is very unreasonable.

I also don't understand why Wang Wenshan agreed.

You must know that most of the officials in the DPRK supported Wang Wenshan, even if it was Wang Wenshan who caused Zhang Fei to be beaten, in their opinion, it should be done.

This kid is really hateful, he taught him a lesson last time, but he didn't know how to repent, and got another mortgage, which made many officials reluctantly cut their flesh, but it was cheaper for Wang Jiefu.

But now some neutral officials are beginning to favor Wang Wenshan, thinking that Zhang Fei is more likely to be extorting.

Of course, this incident also alarmed Song Shenzong.

Regarding the house price, Song Shenzong finally adopted Zhang Fei's suggestion, which shows that he admired Zhang Fei very much.

He quickly found Xu Zun and asked why.

"I see!"

Song Shenzong nodded, and said again: "But does he have any evidence to prove it?"

Xu Zun was silent for a while, and said truthfully: "As far as I know, he...he should have no conclusive evidence."

Song Shenzong immediately said: "If that's the case, why didn't Qing stop him? It's obviously an impulsive move. Qing should really tell me first, and I will make the decision for him!"

Xu Zundao: "I have warned him, but he seems to be very sure, and according to his previous performance, he often surprises, so I think he must have a way."

Song Shenzong frowned and said: "But now this matter is getting bigger and bigger, if he loses, I want to protect him, but it will not be easy!"

A Dengzhou woman made his holy order a joke. It can be seen that it is not so easy for the emperor to protect a person in jurisprudence!
Xu Zun felt relieved when he heard this, it was not an easy task, that is to say, it can still be guaranteed, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, based on my understanding of him, he is still very cautious and will not act impulsively. "

Song Shenzong nodded and said, "I hope so!"

Mr. Lu didn't want to use this matter to increase the attention of Kaifeng Mansion, but he deliberately delayed it for a few days to increase a little exposure. He chose to start the trial immediately.

He was looking forward to a quick fight.

This case is also very simple, just to see who can produce ironclad evidence to prove that they are telling the truth and the other party is lying.

There is always someone who is lying anyway.

However, the number of people who came to Kaifeng Mansion to watch this time has already set a record.

Although the Song Dynasty has always allowed the people to sue the government, there has never been an official and the people going to court. Generally speaking, it is a confrontation of pleadings, and at most it is a closed-door investigation and trial.

Since Zhang Fei's arrival, going to court seems to have become more and more common.

A carriage slowly came to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and Wang Wenshan and Chen Yu got out of the carriage.

"Wang Si Nong!"

"Brother Wang!"

Immediately, many officials greeted him.

"Wang Sinong, you can't be soft-hearted this time around, you must punish that troublemaker properly."

"That's right! These thugs are blackmailing our officials, so we can't encourage it!"

"Brother Wang, we all support you. If the unscrupulous man can't produce evidence today, the Kaifeng government will punish him immediately, and we will go to His Majesty to impeach the Kaifeng mansion. If the unscrupulous man can come to this day, I think the Kaifeng mansion will be fine." have to take a lot of responsibility.”

A large group of officials surrounded Wang Wenshan, cheering him on.

Don't look at Zhang Fei as just a citizen, but his hatred in the court is no less than that of Wang Anshi. These gentlemen really, really don't like this kid.

Too embarrassing!

Don't take these gentlemen seriously at all.

The key here is a class issue.

This time in court, if Wang Wenshan wins, this kid must be completely killed, and he must never be given another chance to stand up.

"Thank you for supporting Mr. Wang in your busy schedule, Mr. Wang is really...!"

After speaking, Wang Wenshan choked up and remained silent.

When the officials saw this, they were even more angry. Look at how they bullied people.

Outrageous.

At this time, only three old men came here on foot, they were Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and Chen Shengzhi.

Chen Shengzhi looked at Wang Wenshan who was surrounded not far away, and turned his head to look at Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, "Who do you two think will win this lawsuit?"

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "It's hard to say! Judging from the information so far, that kid probably has no solid evidence in his hands, so he asked to go to court. This is his usual tactic."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Wang Anshi laughed and said, "Junshi seems to be still worried about the case of Ayun last time!"

Sima Guang glanced at Wang Anshi, "You, Wang Jiefu, don't know how he won last time."

Wang Anshi laughed, and then said: "If you lose, you admit it. You can't put the blame on others. This is not what a gentleman does."

Sima Guang was furious, but he had to admit it.

He did lose that court trial.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Zhang San is here."

Everyone looked up and saw Zhang San, wrapped in a rotten cloak, limping towards this side with Li Si's support.

Everyone still vaguely remembers the man in the bright Erbi.

In a blink of an eye, it became like this.

I really feel sorry for you!

I really feel the same way!
Wang Anshi asked curiously, "Why isn't he dressed like Erbi today?"

Sima Guang said: "He didn't come to sue, he is the victim and the defendant. But I heard that his leg is fine, why did he become lame all of a sudden."

After finishing speaking, he realized that this guy was showing sympathy.

Suddenly one of the crowd shouted: "Zhang San, we support you."

"Zhang San, you must seek justice."

Many people cheered for Zhang Fei one after another.

The case of Li Si was very gratifying.

And this case is a continuation of Li Siyi's case, of course they support Zhang Fei.

Take a look!

What does this make people into.

Deceiving too much.

May I ask who hasn't been bullied before, but they dare not stand up, now that Zhang Fei is standing up to challenge the authority of the gentlemen, no matter right or wrong, they must be on Zhang Fei's side.

With tears in his eyes, Zhang Fei bowed his hands to the folks and elders to express his thanks.

In front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, the camp immediately became clear.

There are officials and people in the hall, and there are officials and people in the hall.

After a while, the gate of the mansion opened slowly, and the judge Li Kai came out in person, brought Wang Wenshan and Zhang Fei in, and personally invited Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and other officials into the courtyard.

This case is really just a very small case, but it has become so big that the Kaifeng government has to pay enough attention to it.

After they entered, everyone immediately surrounded them.

The citizens could no longer stand, and all the people standing in front of the government office were Ma Tianhao, Chen Maoqian and other wealthy gentry.

Xu Zhiqian, who was used to sneaking through the back door, quietly came to the front yard, and found that there was no place left, and the people standing in front were all court officials.

Chen Shengzhi, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Qi Hui, Wang Shiyuan, Tang Jie..

Small officials such as Lu Huiqing and Chen Yu have already stood in the corner.

It gives people the feeling that it is really a decisive battle against Kaifeng Mansion!
Fortunately, Mr. Lu has a lot of experience in writing, so he is not timid in such a scene.

"Mighty." Still.

Of course, Wang Wenshan still has special treatment, he is sitting at the bottom left, while Zhang Fei is standing in the middle.

Mr. Lu patted the gavel, and said, "Zhang Fei, do you have evidence to sue Wang Sinong for buying a murderer and injuring someone?"

Straight to the point.

Wang Wenshan looked at Zhang Fei very calmly.

Zhang Fei said: "Of course Xiaomin has evidence. First of all, during the trial of Li Siyi's case, Wang Sinong, as the official of the imperial court and Chen Yuteng's uncle, came to find Xiaomin secretly. No matter what he said at that time, there was interference. judicial suspicion."

Lu Gong frowned, slightly upset.

You're rambling on and on, don't you have evidence?
Take it out!

He is in a hurry.

Obstruction of justice is not so strict nowadays. As Chen Yuteng's uncle, Wang Wenshan went to Zhang Fei to find out the situation, which is not enough to constitute the crime of interfering with justice.

Wang Wenshan didn't care, he seemed to have expected it long ago, sighed, and responded: "You are right, my move is indeed wrong, but do you understand that as an uncle, when you learn that your nephew has made How heartbroken it is to have such a thing, I am really ashamed of my sister who passed away, so I went to you, hoping to express my apology to Li Si on behalf of my nephew, and said that no matter how the government judges, I will give it to you. Li Si made up for it.

I remember at that time, you said that you had to pay [-] guan, so that this matter could be done, and Li Si’s understanding could be obtained. My nephew was not willing at first, but after all, it was [-] guan. Forced him to agree. "

He explained all this in a very gentle tone, but he had hidden needles in his mouth, implying that Zhang Fei had blackmailed him.

"Your Majesty Wang Sinong is so forgetful!"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I remember at that time, Wang Sinong made his words very clear. If I continue to sue, then I will never be able to defend myself in court."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Wenshan was stunned.

Why don't you play cards according to the routine, kid? Last time you filed a complaint, you didn't mention this matter!
Lu Gong is also stupid.

Why are you getting involved in this matter again.

There was an uproar outside the hall.

The common people thought to themselves, they knew it was so, and I guessed it was revenge at that time.

Xu Zhiqian, who was standing in the corner, looked happy, it was really a good move.He secretly glanced at the officials in front again.

Sure enough, some of them had no composure on their faces, and all of them looked guilty.

They completely forgot about it.

Xu Zhiqian secretly thought, let's see if you dare to use such shameless methods in the future.

Sima Guang muttered to himself, "This is a trap."

Wang Anshi chuckled, "It's a good thing it wasn't you, otherwise, you'd lose again."

Sima Guang glared at him, but thought in his heart, what a boy, you are really clever!

They didn't think of it either.

Although in essence, that is the cause and this is the effect, it can be said to be the same thing.

But restraining disputes is the result of the court's discussion, not the Kaifeng government's judgment. From this point of view, these are two different things.

But Zhang Fei cleverly put this result into his dialogue with Wang Wenshan, which is of a different nature.

"Bullshit!"

After reacting, Wang Wenshan stood up directly and said, "You are talking nonsense, I never said that at all."

He is really wronged!

He really didn't say this at the time, and he did it later.

Lu Gongzhu also asked Zhang Fei: "Do you have evidence to prove this?"

Zhang Fei sighed: "Xiaomin does not have the right to verify, and if I investigate, I'm afraid I will startle the snake and let them destroy the evidence. But Xiaomin heard that Kaifeng Mansion received dozens of pleadings in one morning. Isn't it strange for the prefect Lu?" Is it? It's clear that someone is manipulating it from behind, and the prefect Lu can send someone to investigate, he has found so many people and done so many things, he will definitely leave some clues."

This kid doesn't talk about Wude!

Lu Gongzhu asked: "But what needs to be proved now is whether Wang Sinong bought a murderer to hurt someone."

Zhang Fei said: "Could it be that the magistrate has forgotten that besides this, there is also Wang Sinong who sued Xiaomin for falsely accusing him. Then if we can find out that Wang Sinong did it secretly, it will be enough to prove that Xiaomin did not falsely accuse him. He is lying, he has indeed threatened Xiaomin. Then why did he lie? It is very simple, because he bought and beat Xiaomin. A lie needs countless lies to make up, but under the bright and bright world, the truth It will eventually come to light!"

Lu Gong groaned and remained silent.

When Zhang Fei sued Wang Wenshan at the beginning, the reason was that Wang Wenshan had threatened him, but Wang Wenshan firmly denied it. If it can be proved that Wang Wenshan had indeed threatened Zhang Fei, it could indirectly prove that Wang Wenshan was very likely to pay for murder.

It's just that Zhang Fei didn't produce evidence on the spot, but asked Kaifeng Mansion to investigate.

"A bunch of nonsense."

Wang Wenshan excitedly wrote to Lu Gong: "Prefect Lu, he is just spouting blood, it is unbelievable, and no one has deprived him of the right to file a lawsuit."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "That's because the current sage is wise, but it doesn't mean you haven't done it. I remember that Wang Sinong gave a memorial at that time, accusing me of instigating a lawsuit."

Be careful what you say, kid!

Many ministers in the courtyard became inexplicably nervous.

Wang Wenshan said angrily, "I'm just talking about the facts."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "But Wang Sinong said just now that he apologized on behalf of his nephew and was willing to make up for it. How kind, but then turned around and accused me. Doesn't Wang Sinong feel that this is contradictory?"

Wang Wenshan couldn't keep up with Zhang Fei's rhythm at first, he was at a loss for words for a moment, and then said: "Li Si is Li Si, you are you, I have apologies and sympathy for Li Si, but you villain took the opportunity to blackmail and blackmail, It also makes me feel ashamed."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "So you send someone to beat me."

Wang Wenshan said: "You spitting blood, my majestic court minister, how could you use such indecent means."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Then why did you obstruct the Kaifeng government's investigation?"

"When did this officer obstruct the Kaifeng government's investigation?"

"Then investigate!"

Zhang Fei spread his hands, "If you haven't done it, what are you afraid of?"

"How can I be afraid?"

Wang Wenshan was sweating, and said again: "You said you have evidence, but now you haven't presented any evidence."

Zhang Fei said: "Almost everyone knows that the restraint dispute was targeted at me last time, but no one investigated the matter at that time. I believe I am not the only one who is curious about this matter."

The citizens at the gate nodded one after another.

The citizens are not stupid, they all know in their hearts that it is aimed at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei said: "As long as the Kaifeng government investigates, they will be able to find evidence. If this is not ironclad evidence, what is it? But Wang Sinong, you said that you came here for innocence, why not let the Kaifeng government investigate thoroughly, so that Wang Si Nong can be returned. Nong is innocent."

Wang Wenshan immediately cupped his hands to Duke Lu and said, "I also ask the prefect of Lu to send someone to investigate immediately so that I can be innocent."

That's all he can say.

Lu Gong still hesitated.

This is not evidence!

Zhang Fei said: "The Skynet is well established, and it is not leaked. As long as the Kaifeng Mansion goes to investigate, they will definitely be able to find out the evidence. I am even willing to bet my head on this."

Wang Wenshan excitedly said: "Really?"

Zhang Fei asked: "Does Wang Si Nong want to bet on my head?"

".!"

Wang Wenshan is so stupid, betting on your head is not enough to punish a scholar-bureaucrat, but my head is so stable, why should I bet with you, I hesitated for a while.

Promise, it's too bad.

Don't agree, it seems guilty again.

I regret it at the beginning, what are you doing with that sentence.

Originally Lu Gongzhu thought that Zhang Fei would follow the same pattern as last time, and make a final decision, but this time, this kid did the opposite. If there is an investigation, the case will not be closed in a short while, but there is no way, both sides Asked for an investigation, and Zhang Fei also said harsh words, and he couldn't do without an investigation, so he opened his mouth to rescue Wang Wenshan, "Who is lying, I will find out by myself, stop here today, and leave the court."
