Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 210: Money is the driving force

"Provide legal aid to the government?"

Sima Guang looked astonished.

Xu Zhiqian also looked at Zhang Fei inexplicably.

Does the government still need legal aid?

You're serious about being funny.

Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "Does Master Sima know what those people outside are here for?"

Sima Guang glanced at Xu Zhiqian, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "They are here after Mr. Xu."

When those ignorant ladies yelled like this, this lawyer really became synonymous with female Erbi, even Sima Guang yelled that.

Actually, in the final analysis, it is the trouble caused by the appearance. If it is an aunt, everyone will call Erbi, but everyone sees that Xu Zhiqian is beautiful, well-educated, and comes from an official family, so calling Erbi seems a bit rough.

Honored Attorney.

Zhang Fei is very depressed about this, I am also very handsome!

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly said: "Uncle Sima has won the prize, Qian'er knows in her heart that they came here for free."

Speaking of the latter, a blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Zhiqian is right. To be precise, they are here for free." Zhang Fei nodded, and then asked Sima Guang: "Then Sima Grand Master knows why Zhiqian wants Litigation for Liu Wu for free?"

Sima Guang replied casually: "Eliminate the strong and help the weak?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's for justice."

Xu Zhiqian was quite embarrassed when she heard Zhang Fei boasting about herself, and said lightly, "No way. Don't talk nonsense."

"For justice?" Sima Guang asked doubtfully, "Isn't it for justice to eliminate the strong and help the weak?"

Zhang Fei said: "The purpose of eliminating the strong and helping the weak is for justice, not justice. If Xu Zhiqian uses her identity to stop Huang Yongli's actions, it can be regarded as eliminating the strong and helping the weak, and it is a case of litigation in the court. deemed just."

"That makes sense!" Sima Guang nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei said: "If it is said that Zhiqian does not help Liu Wu, Huang Yongli sues through Erbi and wants to go back to the house, dare to ask Sima University, is this fair?"

"Is it fair?" Sima Guang frowned and fell silent.

Xu Zhiqian was also deep in thought.

After a while, Sima Guang shook his head and said, "It's really hard to judge. The old man thought that if the government's punishment was fair, then it would be fair. After all, Huang Yongli wanted to return the house by suing, not by coercion, bribery, etc. means."

As he spoke, he saw that Zhang Fei was silent, so he asked again: "Isn't it right?"

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima, don't ignore one point. Huang Yongli invited Erbi, but Aunt Liu did not invite Erbi."

Sima Guang sighed: "There's nothing to do about it. In fact, there is a reason why the court restricts litigation. If litigation is relaxed, the rich can buy tea and eat others, but the poor can buy tea." I'm sorry, this is very unfair. It would be more fair if the decision was made by the government."

Speaking of this, he suddenly pointed at Zhang Fei, "To be honest, it's all because you broke the rules."

Although litigation was allowed in the Song Dynasty, before Zhang Fei, Erbi had never been granted legal status. Erbi only assisted the government in adjudicating cases, or in other words, whether Erbi could go to court depends entirely on whether the government is willing or not.

And Zhang Fei changed the status quo almost by himself.

It was never mentioned before that the two Erbis were arguing in the classroom, and most of them were delivering pleadings, which was a confrontation between pleadings, so the status of the tea eater was obviously higher than that of Erbi.

But now this situation is changing, Erbi has become active.

Kaifeng Prefecture allowed it, and the Court of Justice also allowed it, which made it difficult for those lower courts to refuse Erbi to go to court to argue.

Everyone is getting used to it.

The reason is Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei smirked: "But I don't think I'm destroying, I'm building. Litigation can make the trial fairer."

Sima Guang snorted, "Then tell yourself, it's fair or unfair if one party has the money to pay for the pen, but the other party can't afford it?"

"Not fair!"

Zhang Fei said: "But it was not caused by the destruction, but by the unfinished construction. If legal aid is added, it will become more fair."

Sima Guang said, "What do you mean by legal aid?"

Zhang Fei said: "It means to help people file lawsuits for free."

Sima Guang smiled and said, "It's a good thing that you are willing to help people file lawsuits for free!"

Zhang Fei said: "But without the support of the government, the small shop will have more than enough energy."

Sima Guang said unhappily: "The imperial court has no money now, so what is Wang Jiefu doing for the reform? Isn't he just wanting to make money for the country?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "There is no need for the imperial court to spend money to support it, only to give us institutional support."

Sima Guang was puzzled: "Supported by the system?"

Zhang Fei nodded: "I hope the government will include legal aid in the trial process, that is to say, if one party cannot afford Erbi, then the government will assign Erbi to fight for them for free, and the shop will Tea cannibals and pens will be provided, and the government does not need to spend a penny.”

Xu Zhiqian next to her was confused, "What's the difference?"

Sima Guang took the lead and said: "Qian'er is right, what's the difference between you?"

Since it's free, someone will pay, and the government doesn't need to pay. Isn't it you who pay, isn't it superfluous?

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "There is a big difference. One is mandatory, while the other is optional. I can file a lawsuit for them for free, but I have no such obligation after all. I can refuse, but Legal aid is compulsory.

Furthermore, the small shop opens its doors for business, not for charity, and free will also harm the interests of the small shop. "

Sima Guang still didn't understand, and asked: "If it is said that Er Bi and Cha Shi Ren were found by the government, it may be different, but you also said just now that they are all sent by your shop, you don't have to. Pie, isn't it the same."

Zhang Fei explained: "Although this person was sent by me, it is legal aid after all. If you want to come to a small shop to ask someone to dispute a lawsuit, you still have to charge a fee. This can clearly distinguish the two. .Secondly, it doesn’t have to be a small store that sends people there, other bookstores can also send people.”

Sima Guang said, "Who would want to?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I believe everyone will be willing."

Sima Guang said: "Why are you so sure?"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Because I will only send some newcomers to practice at that time, I guarantee that other bookstores will follow the example of small shops and send newcomers to practice."

Sima Guang said angrily: "How unreasonable is this? You use other people's lawsuits to train your own soldiers?"

Xu Zhiqian also nodded.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "That's what it means, but for those who can't afford Er pens, it's better than nothing! And, it may be better than some fees."

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "Don't you want to give this old man a ecstasy soup. As an old man, you don't know your little tricks. If the government introduces assistance from the court.

First of all, this is tantamount to acknowledging the legal status of Erbi in a disguised form. During the trial process, there must be Erbi.

Secondly, this also lets everyone know that free ones are not good, and you have to spend money to invite you big pens. "

Wow. Is this old brain turning so fast? I took such a big turn, but I still didn't get him in. It's really hard. Zhang Fei muttered to himself, and then said: "Brother Sima's words are wrong. If it is said that free is better than charging, who is willing to spend money? If you can't make money, there will be no one to be a writer.

The reason why I say that free may be better than charged is because of money. Although the ones I sent are newcomers, if they want to become fee-paying Erbi, they have to accumulate their own reputation and have to show their achievements. They will definitely try their best to fight for others. Some pens do not receive much money and may not try so hard. "

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xu Zhiqian again, "At first I planned to let Zhiqian go to help others in the lawsuit for free, because she is not short of money and has a warm heart."

He pointed to the door again, "But the facts have been proved

Ming, she can't help much by herself, and it's impossible for her to let others like her, without asking for anything in return, to help others with all her heart.

The world is prosperous, and everything is for profit. If you want to help more people, you must use money to motivate them. Want to be Zhang Daer Pen? It's very simple, let me talk about my grades, I can have today, and at first I helped people with lawsuits for free. "

Xu Zhiqian, who didn't quite agree with it just now, couldn't help thinking now.

She used to think that if you help others, you should not ask for anything in return, otherwise, what is it called helping others.

But she is just an exception after all.

Not everyone is like her, who has no worries about food and clothing, and her family supports her.

The key point is that she has limited ability alone. It would take several days to file a lawsuit, and she would have to bear various risks. How much could this help.

Compared to the grievances in the world, it is really a drop in the bucket!

As for Zhang Fei's legal aid, it is entirely driven by interests and has nothing to do with conscience.

But I have to admit that this can really help more people.

Sima Guang thought for a while, and said: "But in this way, there will be a wind of litigation, and it will also increase the burden on the government."

Are you afraid of the burden for raising so many officials? This is the funniest thing about you Da Song. Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I think the court is making a lot of money from this transaction."

Sima Guang said in astonishment: "The imperial court has made a lot of money?"

Once the wind of litigation arises, the dispute will become complicated, and the government will have to devote more energy, and it will not be a **** profit!

According to the evidence, a direct judgment will save time and effort.

Zhang Fei explained: "On the surface, it seems to increase the investment of the government, but why don't you think about it, where are all the investments?

It is to combat tax evasion, extortion, cheating, corruption and perverting the law. And these are invisible, harming the interests of the country.

As far as the imperial court's Zhao'an policy is concerned, if the people can seek justice by suing, no one will rebel, and the imperial court does not need to use Zhao'an to solve the problem.

How many lawsuits can be filed for Zhaoan's one-time expenditure.

There is also tax evasion and tax evasion. If a piece of tax evasion land can be uncovered, the imperial court will benefit continuously. Although a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested here, as long as the judiciary is strict, it can reduce the burden on the court in all aspects, which is a huge benefit.

Also, the small shop needs to train newcomers, so doesn't the court need it? It is better to let those young officials go to the bottom to practice than to let them go to the library. In fact, this does not require too much investment from the court. This is not a big profit and what is it. "

Sima Guang nodded slightly, and said: "You have some truths in what you said, but this is not a trivial matter, I have to think carefully about it."

Speaking, he looked at Zhang Fei again, "Actually, there is a limit to what you can do when you start a lawsuit. It is you Erbi who benefit. If you really want to rule the world in a clear and bright way, you have to rely on the court's laws."

Zhang Fei repeatedly nodded: "Of course."

Sima Guang said again: "Now I am busy with judicial reform, I want you to enter the procuratorate, what do you think?"

Xu Zhiqian looked happy and couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei.
