Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 134: Astronomical claims

If it weren't for the uproar at the door, Mr. Lu would have thought he had heard it wrong.

One thousand strings?

What a guy!

Not to mention the astonishment of the literati onlookers in front of the courtyard, even Han Qi and Fu Bi looked at Zhang Fei in astonishment.

As far as Su Shi's collection of poor poems is concerned, if he can make a hundred bucks, it must be very popular.

Your mouth is a thousand guan.

I'm afraid that the grass bandit will call you daddy when he sees you!

Litigation stick!

A complete litigator!

This is even worse than Fang Datian's case at the beginning. After all, the victim of that case, Wei Ada, was indeed physically injured, and it would even affect his future work.

But Su Shi himself was not harmed in any way, and he was purely a chicken thief, but Zhang Fei wanted to claim a thousand guan.

As the party involved, Su Shi, he was dumbfounded.

He felt ashamed for the claim amount.

It's too much!

Su Zhe couldn't stand it anymore, and said in a low voice, "Brother, how can you claim so much money?"

"I...."

Su Shi stomped his feet severely, and said with an aggrieved face: "This... this has nothing to do with being a brother."

Su Zhe asked curiously: "How can he have nothing to do with brother when he is helping brother in the lawsuit?"

Su Shi was very ashamed and said: "At that time, he asked for a reward of 100 guan, and I didn't have that much money, so I said that the compensation in this lawsuit was regarded as my reward to him, but how could I expect it? He would Ask for a thousand strings."

He really did not expect that Zhang Fei would be so ruthless.

Because even if the entire Jijuxian was sold, there would not be so much money.

How much is a small bookstore worth?

He was thinking at the time, at most it would be doubled, around 200 guan, and it was impossible to increase it.

Are you defending my reputation, or are you ruining my reputation?

This thousand money has nothing to do with him, but Zhang Fei is indeed claiming compensation on his behalf.

He really can't argue.

Ah!

Su Zhe sighed: "I said it long ago, brother is asking for trouble, now it's too late to regret it."

Su Shi was about to cry, he had already felt the angry eyes of Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others.

His younger brother guessed that he asked for it, let alone outsiders.

At first, he wanted to directly stand up and stop this lawsuit, but he also thought that with such a high amount of compensation, it is impossible for Mr. Lu to agree to him.

It makes no sense!

Wait and see.

"Silence! Silence!"

Lv Gong took three shots of the gavel in a row. After all, it is spring and the weather is warmer, so the side effects of shooting the gavel are relatively small.

When it was quiet, Lu Gongzhu asked Zhang Fei with a look of disbelief: "Why do you claim for a thousand guan Money."

As soon as this gap came out, Zhang Fei almost didn't arouse the anger of both people and gods.

Sincerely stealing money is not as shameless as you.

Su Shi is a little bit lonely, do I only buy such a small amount of my poetry collection?

Zhang Fei replied righteously: "The magistrate's words are wrong. The amount of compensation should not be calculated according to the profits gained by the gathered sages, but should be calculated according to the losses of the victims. Therefore, the benefits gained by the gathered sages In fact, it has nothing to do with Xiaomin's claim."

Although what he said was very reasonable, Lu Gong was very curious when he heard it, and couldn't help asking: "But what did Su Shi lose in this case?"

Zhang Fei said: "The risk you take."

"Risk?"

Lu Gong is a little confused.

How to determine the loss of this risk?

There are not so many regulations at present.

Contemporary laws, in most cases, calculate compensation based on specific losses.

Zhang Fei asked: "Dare to ask the magistrate, can the government provide specific evidence to prove that every poem in this collection is written by Mr. Su, or that every capital is not written by Mr. Su."

Lu Gong pondered for a while, and said: "This is not easy to prove! The government can prove that only two of them are written by Su Shi in the Zhishi Museum, which is recorded in the Eucalyptus."

"The magistrate is right."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I think so too. It's really not easy to prove. If I were to appraise it, the only thing I could recognize was the song "The Jade Girl Shaking the Immortal Pei" by Liu Yong. Beauty."

Su Shi was a little upset when he heard that, what do you mean, kid? I'm not as good as Liu Laoqi?

I heard Zhang Fei explain again: "Because this poem was sold to a singing girl at a high price, the two parties have a contract to prove it. But many poems, it is difficult to find specific evidence to prove that they came from Who made it. Fortunately, all the literati in my dynasty have a strong character and will not misunderstand other people's poems."

Comfortable!

This kid doesn't look so hideous!

The literati sitting here couldn't help giving Zhang Fei admiring glances.

Zhang Fei smiled with respect and admiration, quietly stretched his hand aside, and said in a low voice: "Text number!"

Xu Zhiqian immediately found a document and handed it to him.

Zhang Fei took the document and raised it, "This document is about some officials who were demoted and killed because of their poems and articles in the past dynasties."

After finishing speaking, he opened it and read: "One of the very famous cases is about Wang Bo, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. He was convicted and dismissed from office because of his article "Cockfighting."

Speaking, he looked up at Mr. Lu and asked, "Does the magistrate know about this?"

Lu Gong nodded, "Of course the official knows about this, and this can explain it."

Zhang Fei replied: "Assuming that everyone doesn't know about this, and the bookseller slightly changes the name in the article "Cockfighting", and then puts it in Mr. Su's collection of poems, which arouses the anger of the court. If you want to punish Mr. Su, what should you do if you can't find any evidence to prove that this was not written by Mr. Su?"

After this discussion, Han Qi and Fu Bi, who were still angry just now, couldn't help but frown and think.

The people sitting here are all literary giants and literati. They are very sensitive and afraid of such things.

Although there is no such thing as literary prison at present, the situation of being punished for poetry and articles has actually existed in all dynasties, but it is not so serious. It was completely expanded in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and a poem was written casually , thousands of people may be gone.

Lu Gong frowned and said: "If human life or official position is involved, the imperial court will find out clearly, and will not judge the crime casually."

"But just now the magistrate also said that this kind of thing is not easy to prove. And."

Zhang Fei swept his eyes and said: "The people sitting here are all literati. I believe that they should also understand what is terrible. Some lies, when they are passed on, become true. First of all, now It is difficult to prove who the real author of a poem is. In this case, this phenomenon of pirated printing may cause serious problems.

Usually, pirates do not know poetry and articles very well, and they are very likely to pirate other people's pirated prints.

Because when a hundred booksellers put a poem that is not yours in your portfolio, it may become yours. If something really happened, the victim would be completely speechless! "

Hearing the words, the people sitting there all thought carefully and felt terrified, and suddenly felt horrified.

This sounds really scary.

One hundred different booksellers have published collections of poems, all of which have the same poem. You say it’s not yours?

Can the government trust it?

Zhang Fei continued: "Mr. Su was a Jinshi when he was weak, and his talent was appreciated by many ministers in the court. Frustrated, the loss is more than a thousand.

We can't wait for a few years or more than ten years after this incident to make a claim. It doesn't make much sense, because as far as Mr. Su is concerned, he has already lost his most precious years.

As far as my Song Dynasty is concerned, I may have lost a pillar of the country. At that time, what's the point of paying a thousand guan or 10,000 guan?

Xiaomin knew that the magistrate would definitely feel that this claim was too harsh and excessive, which was no different from extortion. But Xiaomin believes that Xiaomin's claim is completely respecting the principles and spirit of legislation, because the law is more for prevention, restraint, and intimidation than for punishment.

It is also in line with the thought of our ancestors' law and anti-fraud policy.

If Xiaomin only claims twenty or thirty pennies, what's the point? Of course, I also know that Jixianju has no intention of harming Mr. Su, he just wants to make a profit, but if your carelessness, or your selfishness, may hurt other people's life, then the law is necessary Please be careful. "

Su Shi, who was still regretting the past, now said to Su Zhe with embarrassment: "Third brother, did you invite the wrong person for your brother?"

Su Zhe woke up suddenly, only to realize that his back was already drenched. He glanced at his elder brother, nodded embarrassingly, and said, "This man really lives up to his reputation!"

This scares everyone sitting here. You must know that the people sitting here listening to the trial are all prime ministers, great writers, and great poets.

They suddenly felt that this claim was not excessive at all.

Yes!

After all, this is already related to their vital interests.

And it's really scary, and it's a real possibility.

It is by no means alarmist.

Lv Gong, who is also a civil servant, of course also has a deep understanding, nodded slightly, and said: "Although what you said is reasonable, but Jijuxian can't afford so much money to compensate!"

Zhang Fei immediately said: "This can be discussed at that time, but we must pursue the highest compensation, because this matter is actually very, very terrible for Mr. Su."

Lv Gong listened to his tone, it seems that there is still room for easing, so let's discuss it in the hall, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "I think this is enough, I don't know what you said on the pleadings. Where did you start talking about making jackets and writing jackets?"

The lawsuit has come to an end here. In this case, it is nothing more than a claim. The crime of making a jacket, a jacket, and a jacket is really not an ordinary crime.

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "The piracy of gathering sages will damage the foundation of our dynasty and the country, and naturally it will also hurt Mr. Su. If we don't control it in time, the consequences will be unimaginable."
