Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 79
In fact, Tang Jie’s suggestion was based on Sima Guang’s lessons. He believed that Sima Guang lost at the time because he was the presiding judge. Once the officials’ oppression did not work, the only thing left to do was to listen or gently ask questions. , lack of aggressiveness, because the presiding officer must maintain a fair attitude after all.

Then if the government sends a person to contend with Er Bi, the officials can be more calm.

This is obviously not good for Zhang Fei, and the scene is at least two against one.

Therefore, when Xu Zun returned home after the meeting, he asked Xu Zhiqian to call Zhang Fei from the next door, and then told Zhang Fei the suggestion of the Imperial Academy.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he learned about it.

"That's a good thing!"

"Good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing, at least it's fair." Zhang Fei laughed.

Xu Zun frowned, "To tell you the truth, the old man also thinks this is a good suggestion, but it is obviously not good for you."

Xu Zhiqian snorted and said, "This is pretty good. After all, this method can be regarded as aboveboard. Compared with the last time they used their power to encircle and suppress Zhang San, it is much better."

"Xu Niangzi is very right."

Zhang Fei gave Xu Zhiqian a look of approval for the first time: "And in the long run, it will be more beneficial to me, because doing so will encourage litigation, and my bookstore can also defend the government!"

Xu Zun was startled, yes!Zhang Fei will also be able to work for the government at that time.

Zhang Fei added: "But since both sides have defenders, a defense system should be established, otherwise, the court may be turned into a market, with endless quarrels."

Xu Zun nodded and said, "What do you think?"

view?

Not really!

Because there are ready-made.

Zhang Fei then informed Xu Zun of the defense system of later generations.

Xu Zhiqian nodded repeatedly, "It's quite fair to defend like this."

Xu Zundao: "Although this method is good, it is definitely not necessary this time, because the imperial court hopes to solve it quickly, and it is not appropriate to delay it for too long."

While chatting, that Li Si ran in in a panic, "Third brother, there is someone from Fan's bookstore."

Zhang Fei was surprised and said, "Whenever you come, you come, why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Sidao: "The man said that someone just poured a bucket of excrement on the gate of Fan's bookstore."

"what?"

Zhang Fei stood up, "Did you catch the thief?"

Li Si shook his head and said: "It is said that the thief was riding a horse. After a while, he ran away and disappeared. It was just dark at that time, and there were no people on the street. No one saw the appearance of the thief."

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian immediately left for the Fan family bookstore.

Fan Li was scolding his father and mother, but the main one was Li Guozhong.

It was determined that Li Guozhong did it.

Zhang Fei comforted Fan Li for a while, and then went back with Xu Zhiqian.

On the road.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Fei asked Xu Zhiqian.

Xu Zhiqian pondered for a while, and said: "Whether Li Guozhong did it or not is hard to say, but this move must be aimed at you."

"For me?"

"Didn't you forget why you let Li Si throw himself into the river?"

Zhang Fei nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

Xu Zhiqian said: "Back then you were able to gain an advantage in the court, and the people's hearts also gave you great help, but this time the people's hearts may not be on your side. I'm afraid they did this because they wanted to use their own way to punish their own people. If you take the lead in stirring up public outrage, it could be very bad for you."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "This is exactly what I want."

Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Did you forget that the most difficult part of this lawsuit is not the outcome in court, but the fact that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will not punish Cao Yanei."

Xu Zhiqian was still puzzled and said, "In this situation, I'm afraid the two empress dowagers will be even more angry."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's right to be angry, the more angry the better."

indeed!

Before this case, the citizens of Bianjing had a very good impression of Zhang Fei. They all thought that he was different from ordinary tea eaters.

But when it was learned that Zhang Fei defended Cao Dongdong, word-of-mouth instantly dropped to negative.

The citizens don't have a good impression of these royal relatives. Their vast land did not fall from the sky. The largest shareholder of Xiangguo Temple is just them, the royal relatives.

Coupled with the fact that someone from above was blowing the wind, creating public opinion, and throwing dung, it made Zhang Fei seem like a villain who was angry with both men and gods, and the effect was not bad. Now the public opinion is one-sided, and almost all support Lin Fei.

It is verbal criticism to Zhang Fei.

Fortunately, the imperial court didn't plan to delay it, otherwise, if the fermentation takes too long, I'm afraid that the white will really turn into black, which is actually quite normal.

There is a saying that people's words are terrible.

Today is the day of the trial.

Although it was cold and windy, the gate of Kaifeng Mansion was still crowded with people.

After these days of fermentation, the case has alarmed almost all the citizens of Kaifeng Prefecture.

And when Zhang Fei came to Kaifeng Mansion, he was really stared at and ridiculed.

"Hey! Isn't this Da Erbi Zhang San?"

"Hey ho! Yes."

Zhang Fei glanced at the scholar, and thought to himself, forget about Erbi, you still have to be big, you are not a bully.

The scholar said: "I remember you once said that the reason why you study the law is to sue all the injustices in the world, and you only help the poor to file lawsuits."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Your academic performance must be bad, right?"

The scholar said angrily, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "Just this one sentence, you can forget it. Can your grades be good? My original words are, I complained about all the injustices in the world, so I helped the poor to file a lawsuit without charging a penny."

The scholar said: "That's what I mean."

Zhang Fei just rolled his eyes and said, "I don't charge you a penny for filing lawsuits for the poor. Doesn't it mean that you only file lawsuits for the poor? Is this really hard to understand?"

"What about complaining about all the injustices in the world?"

"The yamen suffered unfair injustice, and I should stand up and argue for it." Zhang Fei said righteously and sternly.

"absurd!"

Another scholar stood up and said: "The evidence in this case is solid, don't you want to confuse right and wrong here!"

There are still many people behind him who are ready to move.

When Zhang Fei saw it, he repeated his old trick and said: "I still say that, if you have the ability, go to the hall to argue with me. You don't have to be responsible for shouting here."

Suddenly someone shouted: "Third brother, we support you!"

"Zhang San, I'll teach that short-sighted instructor a lesson later."

Zhang Fei raised his eyes, and saw a group of dudes standing in the far corner, including Ma Xiaoyi, they hid far away and yelled fiercely, it really wasn't a big deal!

Anyway, Zhang Fei was the one who roasted it so well!

OMG!

Facing this group of scholars, Zhang Fei was still able to handle it with ease. It can be seen that he was really panicked when he saw the group of dandies. These guys came to fight, so he quickly shouted: "Let me go! Please let me go! Don't let me go! I am here to defend the yamen, if you block me, you will be obstructing the justice."

Brush brush!
A path gives way.

"Pooh!"

"Hypocritical villain."

"A raccoon dog on a hill!"

"shameless!"

Wherever Zhang Fei walked, there was a lot of abuse left behind.

The only good thing is that no one spit.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Zhang Fei pondered, how much money should I charge from Ya Nei?

He hadn't discussed the issue of compensation with Cao Dongdong yet, because at that time he was focused on dealing with Wang Wenshan.

After a lot of difficulty, I came to the front of the government office.

"Let's go!"

The yacha gave Zhang Fei a push.

"Ouch!"

Almost pushed Zhang Fei to the ground.

Angry!

Zhang Fei turned around and glared at the yamen servant angrily, "As officials, you dare to abuse lynching, be careful and I will sue you."

The Yacha said: "If you are not careful, who is to blame?"

"So many people are watching, you!"

"We didn't see anything."

"I saw that you were not careful."

".!"

The eyes of the masses are discerning.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to swallow this boring loss, and leaned on the wall to enter the house, for fear of being "accidental again".

Walk along the corridor to the yard in front of the lobby, but there are still many people standing here.

Tang Jie, Chen Shengzhi, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Liu Shu.!

Don't they have to go to work?Zhang Fei was a little puzzled.

As everyone knows, at this stage, they really don't have to go to work, and they have entered the New Year's Eve stage, but they will still be on duty in rotation.

If there is no such case, Kaifeng Mansion would actually be closed.

You said how much the Yamen in Kaifeng Mansion hated Zhang Fei, but it was really kind to just push him.

Wearing a thick official uniform, Lu Gong came to his seat and sat down.

"Ascension!"

"Ascension!"

"mighty."

The chant sounded.

Quiet, evasive, erect on both sides.

The first biography is Zhang Fei.

"Xiaomin Zhang Fei has seen the prefect of Lu."

"Free gift!"

Lu Gong wrote: "Because the suspect Cao Dongdong asked you to defend him, but Lin Fei over there has no money to hire someone from Erbi, in order to be fair, so I plan to let the chief secretary Huang Gui prosecute on his behalf. I don't know what you want? "

He is still very fair and strict, and he has to make it clear to Zhang Fei. After all, this suggestion is still under review and has not become a legal provision.

Zhang Fei said: "Xiaomin has no opinion, but Xiaomin also has a small suggestion."

"What advice?"

"Both parties take turns to question the parties and related witnesses. When one side is asking, the other side must not interrupt, so as to avoid meaningless quarrels. After all, we are all providing evidence to the magistrate, and we are fair in the world, not competing for competition. .”

Lu Gong thought for a while, and said: "It is reasonable, just according to your words."

Zhang Fei said again: "Then let Master Huang ask first."

Mr. Lu was very careful, "Why?"

Zhang Fei explained: "I am the defendant, and Mr. Huang is the accuser. If Mr. Huang does not sue, how can Xiaomin plead?"

Mr. Lu nodded, "Master Huang should ask first!"

Zhang Fei said again: "Can the magistrate give Xiaomin a chair? Xiaomin's foot injury a few days ago has not healed yet."

Lu Gong said: "In the court, I can only give you a punishment."

"Board? The magistrate just pretended to be a small citizen who accidentally farted."
