Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 34: Dead friends don’t die poor people
"Don't look at me like that."
Facing Xu Zhiqian's skeptical gaze, Zhang Fei explained: "Li Si is dead, and now he can take Chen Yuteng, a rich man, as a cellmate, and Li Si has surrendered himself, so he can reduce the punishment. Try to save Li Si from the cane punishment, and let him watch Chen Yuteng get hit by the board, and then all the anger will come out."
Xu Zhiqian smiled lightly at first, then subsided the smile, and said coldly: "I don't believe it."
Zhang Fei didn't change his face and said, "Why don't you believe me?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Maybe this is enough for Li Si, and it can indeed make him angry, but if Li Si can't be safe and sound, who would dare to sue you in the future. Besides, where can you find someone?" Baiguan to Li Si? The contract doesn’t state that if he goes to jail, you don’t have to give it.”
Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly.
"You want to use this to blackmail Chen Yuteng?" Xu Zhiqian expressed her doubts.
"Tsk, can you speak? Thanks to your knowledge of the law, you are a professional. How can you say such irresponsible words?"
"Then what should I say?" Xu Zhiqian asked.
Zhang Fei corrected word by word: "If it is said that Chen Yuteng is willing to offer a sum of settlement money to compensate for his wrongdoing, and at the same time ask for forgiveness from Li Si, I think the government may accept it. The case is not easy to judge."
Sure enough. Xu Zhiqian said with contempt on her face: "You are clearly extorting."
Hey, why do you love being serious, woman? But you are looking for the wrong person, I am getting serious, even I am afraid of myself. Zhang Fei retorted: "According to what you said, the Tanyuan alliance was also the Liao Kingdom blackmailing our country?"
"!"
This big hat was on, and Xu Zhiqian's face turned pale with fright. Who can't speak, who dares to continue, and doesn't even dare to mention blackmail anymore, and asked: "This settlement money, what do you plan to do?" How much do you want?"
She also deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "settlement money".
Zhang Fei slowly raised his hand, pointed at her chest, and spread his five fingers shyly.
Xu Zhiqian stood up suddenly, "Five hundred guan?"
It must not be fifty guan, because Zhang Fei promised to give Li Si a hundred guan, so he still posted it himself!
Zhang Fei said very conservatively: "This is the ideal amount. Not necessarily, not necessarily."
Xu Zhiqian said unhappily: "You want five hundred guan, but only agree to give Li four hundred guan, you are too greedy."
Zhang Fei sneered and said: "First of all, I can't guarantee how much I can ask for? I am sure of a hundred guan, so I promise 100 guan. Secondly, you are ashamed to say that this is not all for you Are you forced?"
Xu Zhiqian just felt baffled: "When will I force you?"
"You are a real woman!" Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "Isn't it because you were so anxious to get me out of here that I was forced to accept this lawsuit? Otherwise, I would have to sleep on the street , if you allow me to continue living!"
Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhiqian flicked her sleeves and said, "Don't even think about it, I have already asked Qingmei to help you find another place to live."
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard that, and clapped his hands again and again: "Thank you! Thank you!"
Xu Zhiqian glared at him, thinking, he may not be able to ask for so much money, let's wait for the results to come out.
.
It's a mess here, but Lu Gong's work over there is not too far behind!
After retiring from the hall, Mr. Lu felt that the heads were all big. He immediately went back and reviewed the household marriage laws. He felt that what Zhang Fei said made sense, but he also felt that something was wrong. For a while, he really didn't know how to judge. good.
So he consulted Qi Hui, a good friend of the Criminal Court, and Liu Shu, a doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
"This is just bullshit."
As soon as Qi Hui heard the result, he couldn't help but said: "It's impossible for me to co-exist with acting like this."
As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Lu in surprise. You don't understand such a simple question?
Lu Gong said with a wry smile: "I thought so before, but this case cannot be viewed that way. Because the law does not specify that these two crimes cannot coexist, you have to see whether Zeng's actions correspond to unauthorized murder. Whether Li Si’s actions correspond to the crime of selling the play.”
After Qi Hui finished the comparison, he was stunned. After a while, he said with an incredulous expression: "If you look at it this way, these two crimes can really coexist."
Liu Shu suddenly said: "The key is still in the second contract. If Chen Yuteng didn't pursue the interest at the beginning, nothing would happen. If he pursued it, this problem will arise. He has to blame himself."
As an official of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he is very proficient in the law. It is because Chen Yuteng set a trap in the first contract. He was too obsessed with emphasizing the principal and ignoring the interest. There was a loophole, which allowed Zhang Fei to find an opportunity.
"Now that's the problem."
Lu Gong wrote a little depressed: "Even if Chen Yuteng took the blame and Li Si turned himself in and pleaded guilty, what about Zeng? You and I both know that she is innocent! She sold herself for Li Si, and the result is It is not fair to be charged with the crime of unauthorized removal, and if it is sentenced like this, it will also attract a lot of criticism."
In the previous Ayun case, he was on the side of Wang Anshi at the beginning, which shows that he also cared more about the reasons behind it, and was more willing to decide whether to adopt a stricter or more lenient punishment based on the original intention of the prisoner.
He thought that Li Si and Zeng were both victims, and the government should not punish them. This was the reason why he didn't pronounce the sentence on the spot, not because he wanted to protect Chen Yuteng.
Qi Hui frowned and said: "There is no reason to exonerate Zeng's crime of leaving without authorization. If she is not convicted, then the other two cannot be convicted, but this cannot be sentenced."
The more he talked, the more he felt something was wrong, and said: "Zhang San is clearly playing with words, we don't have to be serious with him."
The government can disapprove of this kind of word game, and now the leaders are still officials, not litigators. To be honest, they are not that rigorous.
Lu Gong wrote: "That's true, but what kind of trick do you think Chen Yuteng is playing?"
Qi Hui was speechless for a moment.
Chen Yuteng is also playing word games, this cannot be treated differently, even if there is a distinction, it cannot be done in the same case, it would be too ugly and hard to convince the public!
Liu Shudao: "I think the problem lies in the interest. If it is judged that the interest is not counted, then there are not so many problems."
Lv Gong wrote and sighed: "That kid Zhang San had expected this a long time ago, so he didn't ask Li Si to surrender himself at the beginning, but he just found a reason to question the judgment of Xiangfu County and lured me in public It is judged that the judgment of Xiangfu County is correct. If it is determined that the interest is wrong, then the judgment of Xiangfu County must be overturned. The key point is that Li Si was whipped in Xiangfu County. The county has been sued."
The three of them looked at each other.
Sue the government?
This!
I guess he doesn't have the courage.
However.
Is there any need to slap myself in the face for Chen Yuteng?
It is said that a dead fellow daoist is not poor, but the key point is that Chen Yuteng is only half a fellow daoist.
.
Because the case was very strange, it was immediately spread in the court, especially since the instigator was that Zhang San, everyone was talking about the case.
Including the Hanlin Academy, the highest think tank of the Song Dynasty.
It was night, but Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, two workaholics, were still working in the Imperial Academy.
Beginning with Bao Zheng, the two of them were almost the last ones to get off work. After get off work, the two of them would often find a teahouse to continue their debate.
Today is no exception.
"I've seen this kind of thing a lot. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the instigator of this case is that Chen Yuteng. It should be severely punished, and the chickens should be killed to make an example to the monkeys. As for Li Si and Zeng, I think they can be exonerated."
Wang Anshi said with righteous indignation.
He himself hated these rich and unkind landlords very much. When he saw this case, he was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking.
Sima Guang felt a headache when he saw Wang Anshi exploding on the spot, so he quickly comforted him: "Jiefu, don't get excited. Yes, you are right, Chen Yuteng is indeed greedy, but have you ever thought that those three books are He helped Li Si to sue, but why did he send Li Si to prison with his own hands?
It is because he knows that this law is merciless, and he cannot judge according to his own likes and dislikes, but must judge according to the law in everything. Even if a person from Erbi is like this, as a member of the imperial court, how can you treat the law like a child's play. "
He is a first-class genius, and once he heard the result, he knew what Zhang Fei was planning. This matter must not end, so he advises Wang Anshi to be calm and not to be impatient.
"A joke?" Wang Anshi sneered coldly: "Could it be that in your opinion, this human life is a joke? Those greedy big landlords have already forced the people to have to burn everything before they have a chance to get justice. Are people angry?"
Sima Guang was also annoyed when he was bullied, I am not Chen Yuteng, why are you bullying me, you treat me as a bully, and immediately replied: "You are so unreasonable, I didn't say that I would not help Li Si Seek justice, but I think we have to start from the law, not on our own will."
Wang Anshi waved his hand and said: "I think there is a problem with this method. This case is just the tip of the iceberg. Fortunately, there are noble people to help. More people don't even have the chance to die. If this continues, people's resentment will boil. It is in danger, and the imperial court must seek reforms in order to cure the root cause.”
How can he not be ignorant of Zhang Fei's calculations, he is very clear in his heart, but to him, this is a great gift to his door, he must make use of it!
"You."
Sima Guang just felt that this old boy was too unkind. We were clearly discussing the case, but you're talking about political reform.
Can you still chat happily in the future?
Don't look at the two people who often fight back and forth, but the relationship between the two is actually very good. It is because they admire each other's morality, character and intelligence that they often argue, hoping to convince each other. If the other party is a shameless Little man, how could Wang Anshi and Sima Guang talk to him.
It wasn't until Wang Anshi began to reform that the two broke up completely.
Suddenly someone said at the door: "What are the two great scholars arguing about?"
Looking back, the two of them saw a young man in a jade-white robe entering the room, and they hurriedly bowed their hands together, "Your Majesty."
The person who came was Song Shenzong.
Now he is also high-spirited and eager to show off his skills. He often comes over at night to discuss political affairs with the academicians of the Imperial Academy.
"There is no need to be polite."
Song Shenzong sat down and asked again: "What are the two scholars arguing about?"
Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the ministers and others were just discussing a lawsuit in the Kaifeng Mansion."
Song Shenzong said curiously: "I don't know what kind of lawsuit it is, which made the two of you blush."
Sima Guang smiled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Wang Anshi was very calm, and said truthfully: "It is a lawsuit about private debt."
After hearing this, Shenzong's face changed slightly.
Sima Guang gave Wang Anshi a look of contempt.
Wang Anshiquan pretended not to see it, and told Song Shenzong the reason.
"This is Zhang San again?"
Song Shenzong was slightly taken aback, as if he cared more about this Erbi man.
Sima and Wang nodded at the same time.
"Hehe, this Erbi man is really amazing. He can startle the entire government and the public when he goes to Kaifeng Mansion."
Song Shenzong smiled amusedly. It can be seen that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang looked at him depressedly. Li Si filed a lawsuit, but ended up sending Li Si to prison, so it’s even more contradictory to sell the show without authorization.”
Wang Anshi patiently explained to Song Shenzong.
Song Shenzong suddenly realized, and couldn't help saying: "This three is really amazing."
Sima Guang said: "Although Zhang San sent Li Si to prison, his purpose is to help Li Si and hope that Chen Yuteng will be punished."
"Eight hundred damage to oneself, one thousand damage to the enemy."
Song Shenzong nodded, and asked again: "How do you two think this case should be judged?"
Wang Anshi immediately said: "The minister thinks that Chen Yuteng should be severely punished, and Zeng and Li Si should be exonerated."
Sima Guang said: "I don't agree, the law is not a child's play, although we all know that Chen Yuteng is the real culprit, I also agree to forgive Li Si and Zeng's crimes, but it must be judged according to the law, otherwise it will be difficult Convince the public."
Song Shenzong nodded slightly, thoughtfully.
.
This matter was quite a commotion, Wang Wenshan was also the first to hear the news, and she immediately sent someone to inform her nephew Chen Yuteng, who also came to the capital immediately.
In fact, the Kaifeng mansion has already sent people to arrest the couple.
Wangfu.
"Uncle, the baby is innocent, it was the villain Li Si who designed to frame the baby."
Thirty-year-old Chen Yuteng knelt in front of his uncle Wang Wenshan, crying like a child.
For a person like him who was born with a golden key in his mouth, two years in prison is no different from killing him. He can't bear the pain.
Wang Wenshan was also annoyed and said: "You are really greedy. It is not enough to want someone's wife, you also have to want someone's ancestral land. You have to blame for all this."
Chen Yuteng cried out, "I'm wronged! You're wronged! My boy and Mrs. Zeng are in love with each other. In fact, Mrs. Zeng came up with the idea of the contract. It was to prevent Li Si from not giving up. Next move.
The result was exactly as Zeng expected. Li Siming had already sold Zeng to Hai'er, but he was still going around saying that Hai'er had taken over his wife and bad reputation for Hai'er. Drive out of Xiangfu County. "
Wang Wenshan asked: "Is this true?"
Chen Yuteng said: "I dare not lie to my uncle when I lie to anyone. Before Li Si got a serious illness, Mrs. Zeng came to Haier's pharmacy to buy medicine. This time and again, we are on good terms with Haier." /
Wang Wenshan pondered for a while, then said, "Get up first."
Chen Yuteng didn't dare to get up for a while, and asked, "Uncle, is he willing to help me?"
Wang Wenshan pondered a little, and said: "You go to Kaifeng Mansion to stay first, don't worry, uncle will never let you go to jail, our family can't afford to lose this man!"
