Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 188: A soldier can be killed but not humiliated

At this time, Wang Hong really felt like he was having a nightmare. He couldn't believe that such an outrageous thing actually won the support of some officials in the court.

And it took a sharp turn for the worse, and the voice of opposition became smaller and smaller.

Is it bullying honest people?

Or am I being sold?

But in fact, he was not wronged. Although Zhang Fei was the one who came up with the idea, it was Wang Anshi who made the arrangements.

Seeing that the wind direction was wrong, Wang Hong hurriedly sent someone to contact Wei Yushan, this is your fault, you have to take care of it yourself.

"What did Wei Yushan say?"

Seeing Zheng Yun entering the hall, Wang Hong walked over and asked.

Zheng Yun hurriedly said: "Wei Yushan has already sent someone to look for it, but Geng Ming's family is missing, so they must have been hidden."

"Trash!"

Wang Hong couldn't help cursing, "I was really hurt by him this time."

Zheng Yun said embarrassingly: "The county magistrate, Wei Yushan thinks so too."

Wang Hong was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Zheng Yun said: "Wei Yushan seems to think that Zhang San wants to take revenge on the magistrate, so he is innocent."

"What?" Wang Hong opened his eyes angrily, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have protected him."

Zheng Yun hurriedly said: "Magistrate, you can't fall out with Wei Yushan now! He still has a relationship with King Chang!"

Wang Hong's expression changed, "Will he invite King Chang to come forward?"

Zheng Yun said: "It is said that someone has been sent to look for it. Although Wei Yushan thinks he is innocent, he is very angry because of it. He thinks that Zhang San is too deceitful."

Wei Yushan believes that if you are wronged, you have a debtor. If you want to take revenge, you should go directly to Wang Hong and get him.

Also angry.

So innocent!

The corner of Wang Hong's mouth twitched continuously: "After this matter is over, I will settle the score with him."

......

The court of justice.

"It's really hard to guard against!"

Sima Guang sighed, glanced at him, and said in frustration: "If this is not the case, I will write to the government, saying that the judicial reform must be carried out step by step, the separation of politics and law cannot be moved rashly, and talents must be trained for two years, otherwise, it will only be The gain outweighs the gain.”

"No!"

Liu Shu immediately objected, "If you do this, wouldn't it be in Wang Anshi's arms, and his new law will come out soon."

The people sitting there nodded their heads.

Sima Guang waved his hand and said, "If I don't do this, then I will fall into Wang Anshi's plan to alienate people. People will definitely not trust my judicial reform, which will also be a bad thing."

Qian Wei immediately said: "Scholar Sima's words are wrong. Judicial reform is for justice, not for cover."

Sima Guang hurriedly said: "Qian Yushi is right, this is my slip of the tongue, but I am really... really in a dilemma!"

He and Wang Anshi are not in the same line, he just wants to protect the rights and interests of landlords and wealthy businessmen, and everyone discusses everything. If the court is short of money, you have to give some money.

He didn't hide anything about it, and he said it frankly.

He played this play, in fact, to show those big landlords and scholar-bureaucrats that my judicial reform is not aimed at you.

Wen Yanbo has the same political philosophy towards Sima Guang, and seeing that Sima Guang's performance is similar, he said, "Your Majesty! Everyone knows this well, and you can't blame it. If you want to blame it, you can blame Wang Jiefu for being too cunning Ah!"

The people sitting there nodded their heads.

This is the stronghold of conservatives, and there is no one who does not oppose Wang Anshi.

Fan Chunren suddenly came out and said, "I have a plan to solve this problem."

Sima Guang hurriedly said, "Please tell me, Fan Sijian."

Fan Chunren said: "Isn't it enough to win this lawsuit?"

“…!”

Morale is pretty low.

We never beat Zhang Fei.

Previous

After losing the game, they really don't want to go to court with Zhang Fei anymore, why are they competing with a person with ear pens in his professional field.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Fan Chunren hurriedly said: "I think there is a great possibility of winning this lawsuit."

Qi Hui sighed: "There is no possibility, Wang Hong's judgment is wrong, if it is justified, the left court would not dare to accept this lawsuit."

Fan Chunren said: "There is indeed a problem with Wang Hong's sentence, but it is debatable whether it is the crime of committing the crime or the crime of inflicting the crime. As far as I know, Wang Hong did not accept bribes, and usually The key to judging whether there is a crime of manslaughter is whether officials are involved in corruption or bribery.”

Sima Guang frowned when he heard this: "Yes! We only considered that the judgment of the Sili Yuan was reasonable, but we did not consider whether the pleadings asked by Lu Jia were really reasonable."

"I also think what Fan Sijian said makes sense."

Wen Yanbo nodded, and said: "But if you really want to fight, it's better not to proceed with the lawsuit in the left hall. It's more appropriate to put it in Dali Temple or the Criminal Court."

Sima Guang, Liu Shu and others all nodded slightly.

Dali Temple and the Judicial Court are the highest courts of the Song Dynasty. It is only natural that they are placed here for trial, which can also appease everyone's emotions.

Because many officials are worried, even a small judicial officer can sue my fifth and sixth rank officials to court.

If they can only go to Dali Temple to sue, then of course they have no objection. In the past, officials often went to Dali Temple for trial, and the threshold is very high.

Sima Guang hasn't completed the layout yet, and he doesn't dare to take advantage of it to immediately separate politics and law. There will be problems, so he is willing to take a small step back.

If the appeal is successful, it is already a judicial victory.

......

Alum Building.

"Hey boy! Third brother, you are here, please come in quickly."

Fan Zheng greeted Zhang Fei at the door, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness has been waiting up there for a long time."

Zhang Fei nodded, and asked in a low voice, "Will we not be heard later?"

Fan Zheng immediately said: "Third Brother, please rest assured that even if you shout loudly, no one will hear you. I am not open for business in the West Building today."

"Are you so sensible?" Zhang Fei laughed.

Fan Zheng smiled wryly and said, "This is a terrible matter, can you be more careful, little brother?"

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "It's not that serious, just chatting."

"Yes yes yes."

Fan Zheng nodded repeatedly, not daring to say much, and hurriedly welcomed Zhang Fei up to the third floor of the west building, to the largest private room in the middle, and was stopped by two guards standing at the door.

After the notification, Zhang Fei entered the private room.

I saw a handsome young man who was not yet twenty years old sitting inside.

This person is Zhao Hao, king of Chang.

He asked Zhang Fei to come here today, of course he was talking about Wei Yushan's matter, because he didn't think it was a big deal, and there was no need to ask the Queen Mother to help.

The key point is that Wei Yushan is just the father of his concubine, not the concubine's father. If he really went to find Empress Dowager Gao, he was not sure how much Empress Dowager Gao was willing to help, after all, Empress Dowager Gao also hated such things.

After thinking about it, it is best to go directly to Zhang Fei, after all, he is just an ear pen, and he is a prince.

"Xiaomin sees the prince."

"Free gifts!"

Of course, Zhao Hao would not let Zhang Fei sit with him, tilted his head slightly, and glanced at Zhang Fei, "Your ear pen is really capable of tossing, and you can still live to this day, this king admires you a little bit." .”

Zhang Fei laughed and remained silent.

Zhao Hao was too lazy to chat with him, "I know that you are doing this to get revenge on Wang Hong of Kaifeng County, but why did you implicate Wei Yushan?"

Zhang Fei glanced left and right.

Zhao Hao said: "Don't worry, I'm the only one here, so you don't have to hide."

"Yes!" Zhang Fei nodded, and said: "Returning to the lord, Wei Yushan has committed a heinous crime and committed a heinous crime. Using him as a medicine guide can also give justice to the people. It kills two birds with one stone."

Zhao Haona

Confused: "Why is Wei Yushan so wicked?"

Zhang Fei said: "The Yaqian officer only went to his house to urge the tax payment. He may not pay, but it is also not necessary to force the family to sell their land, divorce their wives and children, and become a monk. This kind of behavior is outraged by both men and gods."

Zhao Hao said without confidence: "This is not a ten heinous crime."

Zhang Fei said in a low voice: "If you hit it... it's possible!"

Zhao Hao was shocked and said, "What? You really plan to punish Wei Yushan for his ten heinous crimes?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "That's not true, Xiaomin plans to sue Wei Yushan for murder."

What's the difference? Fortunately, the king is here! This kid is really vicious. Zhao Hao broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "You must not do this."

Zhang Fei was surprised: "Why?"

Zhao Hao said: "Don't you know that his daughter is the king's concubine?"

Zhang Fei opened his eyes wide, "This...is this impossible?"

Zhao Hao said: "If it wasn't the case, why did the king ask you?"

Zhang Fei suddenly cried, "My lord, you...why didn't you tell Xiaomin that this pleading paper has already been handed over."

Zhao Hao said: "What does it matter? You are the one to file the lawsuit, so you can change it!"

Zhang Fei struggled and said: "My lord doesn't know, Wei Yushan's accusation is the evidence against Wang Hong, so there is no way to change it!"

Zhao Hao said excitedly: "I don't care about this matter, if you sue him for murder, my concubines will be implicated. You'd better give up this lawsuit."

Zhang Fei said: "My lord also knows that Xiaomin wants to take revenge on Wangzhi County. If Xiaomin was afraid, he would not do it."

Zhao Hao frowned, yes! He has a small pen, even the magistrate of Chi County dared to sue, would he be afraid of death? On the mouth, he said firmly: "I don't care so much, if you take revenge on Wang Hong, that's your business, but Wei Yushan must not be implicated."

Zhang Fei struggled for a while, and said: "Since the lord came to find Xiaomin in person, Xiaomin can promise not to charge Wei Yushan with murder, but the charges of tax evasion and robbing people's land cannot be escaped. At that time, Wei Yushan must A sum of money must be used to forgive the crime, including compensation for Geng Ming's losses and back taxes."

Zhao Hao thought for a while, and suddenly felt that it would be great to be able to spend money to eliminate the disaster, although before he came, he planned that Zhang Fei would give up suing Wei Yushan completely, and stood up, "That's the deal."

Let's go.

After the door closed, Zhang Fei smiled.

Actually, he didn't intend to sue Wei Yushan for murder, but to frighten Zhao Hao, because his purpose was to get revenge on Wang Hong and help Wang Anshi pay taxes.

If you say murder for money, it is definitely not deterrence, but to force rebellion.

Those big landlords will definitely attack them together, and they will never pay taxes. If they do not pay, it will prove that they have evaded taxes in the past.

It's just that Zhang Fei thought about what he should do if Zhao Hao came to him.

Since Zhao Hao has come forward, it proves that this lawsuit is a certainty.

Sure enough, when Zhang Fei returned home, Lu Huiqing had been waiting for a long time.

"King Chang?"

Lv Huiqing was taken aback when she learned that Zhang Fei had gone to see King Chang, and immediately asked, "How did you deal with it?"

Zhang Fei said in a low voice: "I said I would sue Wei Yushan for murder."

Lv Huiqing was amused and said, "Smart."

But there was a hint of disappointment in his tone. He originally hoped that King Chang would go directly to Queen Mother Gao, but it didn't matter. His goal had already been achieved. Although many ministers in the court chose to support Sima Guang, he believed that in the future, They will also be wary of Sima Guang's judicial reform.

"They asked to be tried in the Criminal Court, what do you think?" Lu Huiqing said.

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "It must not be tried in the Criminal Court. After all, this is a lawsuit related to the interests of the people. Only the public trial in Kaifeng Prefecture can arouse people's expectations for the new law."

Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "I think so too, but if we ask for a trial in Kaifeng, the judge may have to let him

They decide. "

Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "Isn't the magistrate Lu not good?"

Lu Huiqing clicked his tongue: "Lu Jiawen is the grand-nephew of the prefect of Lu, so he has to avoid suspicion."

"That's true." Zhang Fei nodded, "Who does Xiaokan Lu think they will choose?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Of course they can't let them choose. We plan to let Prime Minister Zhao come to the trial. On the new law, Prime Minister Zhao is against the teacher, but on this matter, he supports Geng Ming. Let him do it." It is more beneficial to us.”

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "As long as the chief judge is fair, I don't care."

Lu Huiqing smiled and said: "Don't be careless, I heard that Fan Sijian offered to plead for Wang Hong, but he has no friendship with Wang Hong, obviously he is here for you."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The defeated general, why worry about it."

......

This matter caused a lot of trouble, and Zhao Xu didn't pay much attention to it, but he ignored it. In fact, he was biased towards Zhang Fei.

Of course, if he ignores it, it doesn't mean you can decide.

This matter may seem small, but only the emperor can decide.

Because the emperor is the highest judge of the country, as well as the highest chief executive, when the two powers compete, who can call the shots?

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang would not commit such taboos.

Although they have reached a consensus in private, the trial will be held in Kaifeng Prefecture, but the trial will be presided over by Zhao Yan, but whether they can sue or not depends on the emperor's decision.

Zhao Xu didn't even have a special meeting to discuss this matter, so he just agreed.

......

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of the people.

They don't pay attention to the grievances between Zhang Fei and Wang Hong, they pay more attention to Geng Ming and Wei Yushan, and it's the season of tax payment.

At this time of day, it is impossible to keep a low profile in such a lawsuit!

Today is the trial day.

There was already a sea of ​​people in front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, and it was completely blocked.

"Zhang San, why did you come so early this time!"

Cao Dongdong sat on Zhang Fei's carriage, dangling his legs, and asked Zhang Fei.

Xu Zhiqian beside him also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

In the past, Zhang Fei always appeared last, but this time Zhang Fei came earlier than Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi.

Xu Zhiqian used to wait at Zhang's house, but this time Zhang Fei went to Xu's house to wait.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I want to meet someone."

"Who?" Cao Dongdong asked gossipingly.

Zhang Fei just smiled.

Ma Xiaoyi suddenly said: "Third brother, you promised me last time, bring me next time you go to court."

Zhang Fei was surprised: "Aren't you drunk?"

Ma Xiaoyi said innocently: "I remember when I'm drunk!"

Pretend to be pure. This kid must have pretended last time. Zhang Fei suddenly took Xu Zhiqian's little hand, and said: "This time I can only break my promise to you, this is not an assistant, this is my wife, you can't replace me."

Xu Zhiqian quickly withdrew her hand, "What kind of wife, don't talk nonsense." Then she said to Ma Xiaoyi: "Little Ma, if you really want to help, next time you can help with the paper. "

Ma Xiaoyi nodded excitedly and said: "Thank you Mrs. Xu, thank you Mrs. Xu. I can afford to recite more."

Cao Dongdong enviously said: "Can you also take me."

"Your father is willing, I don't care!" Zhang Fei shrugged.

Cao Dongdong is gone.

Suddenly, Zhang Fei glanced aside, "I'm sorry."

Just go forward.

Xu Zhiqian turned her head to look and saw Fan Chunren and Wang Hong walking over, she couldn't help shaking her head with a wry smile.

When Wang Hong saw Zhang Fei, the enemy was extremely jealous, and his fists were clenched and rattling.

"Fan Sijian, please stay safe."

Zhang Fei saluted Fan Chunren.

Fan Chunren said with a serious face: "I will not lose to you again this time."

"It's a fair way, I'm willing to accept any failure." Zhang Fei smiled and said again: "May I have a few words with Wang Zhixian."

Fan Chunren glanced at Wang Hong, and then left.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Wang Zhi County, you can't think of it, we met again so soon, but today Wang Zhi County is a bit less prestigious, is it because he didn't bring that water and fire stick?"

Wang Hong snorted angrily: "You won't succeed."

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Did you ever think that it would be impossible to sue this matter in court, but what is the result?"

Wang Hong glared at him immediately, "I really shouldn't have let you off lightly last time."

"Tut tut!"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Don't say that you are so kind, you would have fought if you were able to fight at that time, in fact, I am the same as you in this point, so this time you must make sure you can't stand up."

A flash of fear flashed in Wang Hong's eyes, and he sneered, "I am a Jinshi, but you are just a small pen, even if you lose the lawsuit, you can't kill me, but you, don't fall on me." in hand."

Zhang Fei suddenly leaned forward, and whispered in Wang Hong's ear: "If I want to be an official, I can do it anytime, just wait for death, you bastard."

After that, he turned and left.

Seeing that Zhang Fei came back, Xu Zhiqian walked over immediately, glanced at Wang Hong behind him, saw that his face had turned livid, and knew what had happened, so she couldn't help but asked Zhang Fei, "What about it?"

Zhang Fei calmly said: "Respect is mutual."

The scene of the county government last time really irritated Zhang Fei. Qiu Zhengwen and the others were lying in the open space, they didn't look like human beings.

He must have revenge.

He came here so early, not for anything else, but to scold a few words and vent.
