Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 264: Explore the unknown

Chapter 264 Exploring the unknown

After consecutive losses to Zhang Fei, Fan Chunren really had a hard time learning from it. He was always reflecting on what he was lacking in. Although he did not prepare as many copywritings as Zhang Fei, he could say for "Song Xingtong" He can memorize the materials he has read backwards and can quickly memorize them. He didn't make mistakes because of memory errors, so it can't be regarded as a deficiency.

After thinking about it, he thought that he was only talking on paper before, and lacked investigation into the process of the case.

This time he learned his lesson and sent someone to investigate the whole matter thoroughly, including everyone involved in the case.

If he didn't know that Wang Anshi had gone to Zhang Fei that afternoon, he would have no evidence to refute it now.

Actually, Zhang Fei wanted to prove that the matter was confidential by asking that question.

But before Su Shi, you, Zhang Fei, knew about this, so can it be considered a secret?

Before, he was always stuck in such details. He had no internal strength, but no moves.

"Good! Well said!"

"It's wonderful!"

Some scholars outside the door clenched their fists excitedly.

Of course, there are also some people who don't understand.

"What's good?"

"Didn't you hear just now, Wang Jiefu himself said that this is not a leak of secrets, so naturally it is not a major crime of leaking."

"Yes!"

Although everyone in front of the gate was applauding Fan Chunren, Fan Chunren did not show any joy because he knew that this was just a warm-up.

Since Zhang Fei has been accused of this crime, it is impossible to let it go easily.

Xu Zhiqian quietly handed a copy to Zhang Fei.

Fan Chunren has made a lot of progress, and she has also made great progress. Many times, Zhang Fei no longer needs to open his mouth.

Zhang Fei glanced at the copywriting, then stood up, and said: "I hope that Sima Guang can be passed on, and Sima University scholar will testify in court."

Zhao Bian turned his head to look at Sima Guang. After all, Sima Guang was also a political adviser, so he had to ask for his opinion first.

This brat actually wanted to drag me into the water. Sima Guang nodded.

Zhao Bian immediately sent Sima Guang to the hall.

Wang Anshi waited for Sima Guang to come, then stood up, patted his buttocks, "Come and taste the pain of not being able to talk back."

"Thanks to you." Sima Guang snorted.

Wang Anshi chuckled twice: "The culprit is you."

The implication is that if it weren't for the leaking incident in your trial court, there would be so many follow-up incidents.

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had the intention, Sima Guang's heart skipped a beat, he is really the culprit. Waving his hands, he said, "Go, go, get down, don't try to influence me to testify."

After they finished chatting and Sima Guang sat down, Zhang Fei stood up and said, "Brother Sima, do you still remember the leak of the Criminal Court last month?"

Sima Guang nodded and said, "I remember."

Zhang Fei said: "Could you bother Master Sima to talk about the cause and effect of this matter."

Sima Guangdao: "At that time, the government entrusted me with the matter of revising the Tenancy Contract Law, so I held a meeting in the Court of Justice to discuss how to revise the law. Unexpectedly, a tabloid suddenly appeared on the second day, Its content is taken out of context, generalized, and spread rumors to slander Xu Temple."

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima is in charge of the Criminal Court, so he should be familiar with the law. So, does Bachelor Sima think this tabloid is illegal?"

Sima Guang glanced at Zhang Fei meaningfully, and said with a sneer, "It's absolutely against the law. If he is caught, I will definitely punish him severely."

Zhang Fei looked down at the copy with a guilty conscience, then raised his head and asked: "As far as I know, the government ordered to revise this law, and it has clearly stated that the policy of taxing anywhere, and many people know it and don't know it. Do you?"

Sima Guang nodded.

Zhang Fei said again: "Since it is known to everyone, there is no such thing as a secret. There is no such thing as a leak."

Sima Guang seemed to have entered a state, stroked his beard and said: "First of all, although it has been clarified that taxes are everywhere, this matter is of great importance, and the law of our ancestors, to prevent things, and to control them, is also in place. Warn us that any new law must be carefully considered.

And what we are considering is to prevent bad situations from happening. If we deliberately leak our discussion in advance, it will naturally cause turmoil, which can be regarded as a crime of leaking secrets. "

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Scholar Sima explained very clearly. It just so happened that Grand Scholar Sima also participated in the meeting in the third year of junior high school. Did you determine the specific content of prohibiting tabloids from discussing current affairs?"

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "No."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Does it need to be discussed in the middle before we can determine how to implement it."

Sima Guang nodded.

Zhang Fei said: "Comparing the two, can I say that the two decrees are actually in a state of discussion and deliberation on the specific content. In other words, there are still uncertainties in them, and there is no Reached written status.”

Sima Guang thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right."

"Then Sima University believes that the actions of Su Shi, Song Minqiu and others are leaks."

Fan Chunren stood up before he finished speaking.

But Zhang Fei didn't give him a chance to object, saying: "I'm done asking."

He also smiled apologetically at Fan Chunren.

Su Zhe couldn't help lowering his eyebrows and muttering: "This person is really cunning, if he is not careful, he will take advantage of his loopholes."

He has seen this trick before, but he was a bystander at the time, and this matter was related to Su Shi, which was a hostile relationship. Naturally, he hated Zhang Fei's behavior of stealing chickens very much.

He whispered to Fan Chunren again: "His questioning skills are really brilliant, he is obviously cheating, but Bachelor Sima didn't realize it."

"I know."

Fan Chunren stood up and said, "Dare to ask Grand Master Sima, at the meeting discussing the Tenancy Contract Law, did you tell the officials attending the meeting not to disclose half a word."

Sima Guang shook his head.

Fan Chunren said: "If one of the officials asks for help from his friends or teachers, is that considered a leak?"

Sima Guang thought for a while, "This should not be counted."

Fan Chunren said again: "If this kind of thing really happens, will Grand Master Sima punish this person?"

Zhang Fei immediately stood up, but Sima Guang had already shook his head and said, "No."

There is no need to think about it. If Xu Zhongtu goes home to discuss with Zhang Fei, he will definitely not be punished. After all, this is not a high-level secret, and even his family members cannot disclose it.

Zhang Fei sat down depressed, "The progress is really not small!"

Xu Zhiqian asked: "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei explained: "It should not be counted. The tone is not firm. In other words, it may be counted. The presiding officer will definitely be affected by this, and he must ask an affirmative answer. Otherwise, this question It’s just a reduction of points.”

Xu Zhiqian nodded her head lightly, and turned her head to look at Fan Chunren, feeling a little depressed in her heart.

It stands to reason that she has more experience, and Zhang Fei is there to teach her, but she still didn't think of these details.

Talent is something that needs to be recognized.

Fan Chunren continued to ask: "If that's the case, then why did the Sima University scholar say that the leaker violated the law."

Sima Guang was taken aback for a moment, yes, if you just say it casually, it can't be said to be illegal. It's all the fault of Zhang San, who led me astray just now.

But Wang Anshi who was on the side was so happy, he thought, this old man is not as good as me to testify in court!

Sima Guang immediately explained: "I'm referring to the remarks in the tabloid, which were taken out of context, fabricated facts, and intentionally created confusion. Therefore, those who publish the tabloid are definitely breaking the law."

When he spoke, his face was red.

Xu Zhiqian was delighted to hear this, and excitedly said: "It seems that his problem of admonishing officials has not been completely corrected!"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "It can only be said that he is inexperienced. There are too many unknowns about this case, and there are no rules to speak of. Therefore, no one knows what the witness will answer."

Xu Zhiqian nodded half-understanding, "You mean, Uncle Sima doesn't know the exact answer either?"

Zhang Fei nodded: "Smart."

Su Zhe couldn't help but look happy.

"I'm done asking."

Fan Chunren sat down and said angrily: "Oops! It's easy to ask at this time."

But Su Zhe chuckled and said, "It's good to keep one."

Fan Chunren said: "How can it be done?"

Zhang Fei immediately got up and asked: "Just now, the Sima University scholar said that if it is said that the officials attending the meeting discuss this matter with their teachers and friends, it is not illegal."

Sima Guang shook his head in confusion.

Zhang Fei said: "If the officials at the meeting are dissatisfied with Xu Si's words and complain to teachers and friends, is this illegal?"

"I object."

Fan Chunren immediately stood up.

Zhang Fei immediately explained to Zhao Yan: "I'm just perfecting Fan Sijian's previous problems."

Zhao Yan thought for a while, and said: "You continue to ask."

Fan Chunren sat down depressed.

Sima Guang became nervous, thought for a while, and said, "That shouldn't be counted."

Zhang Fei said: "I can understand it. In fact, the reason why Bachelor Sima thinks this is illegal is that the other party uses tabloids to spread a wrong statement, which arouses widespread heated discussions and causes social unrest. phenomenon.

If the official who attended the meeting just said it casually, even if he is suspected of exaggerating the facts, it would not cause turmoil at the time, and it would not be illegal. "

After Fan Chunren heard this, he was about to get up when Su Zhe immediately said, "Wait."

Fan Chunren turned his head to look at him.

Su Zhe said: "If you object, this is not bringing my brother into it again."

Fan Chunren said anxiously: "It's not your brother's business alone."

Su Zhe said: "But the other party has obviously given up targeting my brother, and you can concentrate on defending Song Minqiu and others later."

When the two were still arguing, Sima Guang had already begun to answer: "The tabloid is indeed different from word of mouth. I think it can be said that because the tabloid is in black and white, the judicial judgment on the two is also different. difference."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Master Sima, I'm done asking."

Su Shi next to him was ashen-faced, thinking in his heart, it's over, it's over, it's all over, and he said that Song Cidao and the others will do bad things.

Fan Chunren glared at Su Zhe angrily, then stood up and said, "Scholar Sima, can you explain exactly whether the tabloid is breaking the law, or the content on the tabloid is not true, or both are breaking the law."

Sima Guang thought about it for a while, "I didn't stipulate that publishing tabloids is illegal. To me, it should be the use of tabloids to spread false statements and cause social unrest, which is an illegal act."

"I'm done asking."

Fan Chunren said.

Zhang Fei stood up suddenly, and asked, "If you dare to ask Master Sima, if the words in the tabloid are true, but at the same time cause turmoil, is it illegal?"

Their questions are more tricky than the last. Sima Guang was dumbfounded when asked.

Not to mention him, even Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and other experienced prime ministers are seriously thinking about this question, and they don't seem to have a definite answer.

Because the law really does not have very precise regulations on these issues, it is generally based on results.

If there is no accident, it is not illegal, and if there is an accident, it is illegal.

But you can't say that in a lawsuit.

Wang Anshi looked at Sima Guang gloatingly, old boy, you must feel my pain.

Sima Guang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't dare to speak easily, and suddenly said to Zhao Bian: "Chief interrogator, I, Sima Guang, came here today to testify in my personal capacity, and my views only represent my own."

Zhao Yan nodded and said: "Scholar Sima, don't worry, I judge the case according to the law."

The implication is that your words are only your opinions and cannot represent the law.

Sima Guang then replied: "If the statement is true and causes social turmoil, then there are usually only two situations, or this matter is indeed a court secret and cannot be leaked.

Either there is a problem with the law itself, which caused turmoil, and this situation is the fault of the court. "

Xu Zhiqian whispered: "Uncle Sima obviously favors them."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It's impossible to talk about it, he's just talking about it."
