Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 109: Officials and civilians

For the imperial court, this lawsuit came out of the blue without warning.

After all, this was initiated by the people, and unlike last year, this time the target is the court.

But the master who has been in the officialdom all the year round, which one is not a human being, they quickly realized.

Suddenly found that once this lawsuit starts, it will be very important.

Because this lawsuit has almost concentrated all the contradictions in the current court, and it also involves the main problems currently facing the country.

It is related to the vital interests of each yamen.

As a result, all forces participated in it one after another.

Officials such as the Yushitai, Dali Temple, the Court of Justice, and the Ministry of Punishment immediately became popular in the eyes of everyone.

Officials of various divisions and ministries put forward their demands to these jurors, either expressly or implicitly, in short, hoping to lead this lawsuit in a direction that is beneficial to them.

For example, the officials of the Third Division approached the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and the Trial Court, hoping not only to let Zhang Fei lose the lawsuit, but also to take the opportunity to convict Zhang Fei of a serious crime so that he would not stand up.

This is actually the appeal of many officials.

In view of the fact that Zhang Fei's purpose of filing this lawsuit is likely to be linked to Wang Anshi's reform, which is what they are opposed to, the best result is naturally to catch them all.

Of course, there are also some officials who hate the law of servants. They hope that it can be dealt with fairly, and they can use this lawsuit to completely change this evil law.

This is what Chen Shengzhi and Lu Gong wrote.

As long as you are not in Kaifeng Mansion, Lu Gong's works are more biased towards Zhang Fei.

Although they were not happy about Zhang Fei's high-profile, but compared to the two evils, it is obvious that the labor law is more harmful.

These jurors hoped to be well prepared, so they suggested that the trial should be held one month later.

Unfortunately, the presiding judges, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, demanded that the trial start seven days later. They knew about it in advance, so they were very well prepared.

Of course, their reason was that the case involved the common people, and it had already been widely spread, and it would be detrimental to the imperial court if it dragged on.

Representatives were soon elected from the various ministries and divisions. Dali Temple was naturally Xu Zun, Yushitai was also the boss Lu Huo, the Judgment Court was sent by Qi Hui, and the Ministry of Punishment was Liu Shu.

It is not one of them to mention the Department of Prisons. After all, this department is in charge of prisons. If it is to fight corruption, they will definitely participate.

Hanlin Academy.

Sima Guang handed the list to Wang Anshi, and said: "This is very different from the previous joint trial. The people in the hall are the ones who write the words, not the criminals. I don't know how you plan to try it?"

Wang Anshi took a look and found that his guess was about the same as his own. After putting down the list, he looked at Sima Guang: "It's not the first day we met. If you have any thoughts, just say it."

Sima Guang stroked his beard, "You should be more aware of the situation in the court than I am. To be fair, why not let those jurors entangle with Zhang San, and we can win immediately."

"The God Comes Down"

They all know in their hearts that those jurors have purpose and tendencies, if they are not allowed to give full play to the results of the trial, no one will be convinced by the results of the trial.

Wang Anshi knew this, but he couldn't help teasing: "Are you afraid of losing last time?"

"...?"

......

Today is the day of trial.

Early morning hours.

Zhang Fei was dressed in white pajamas, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, closing his eyes and meditating.

A beautiful woman behind him is combing his hair carefully. This beautiful woman is Gao Wenyin.

She was dressed neatly and meticulously, so it could be seen that she just rushed over to help Zhang Fei take care of it.

But I have to say that these days, she really does her best to serve Zhang Fei's food and daily life. Except for sleeping, she is really meticulous and impeccable in the rest.

As for sleeping....

In fact, it can be regarded as helping Zhang Fei to recharge his energy, so as not to make Zhang Fei overtired.

While helping Zhang Fei comb her hair, Gao Wenyin secretly glanced at Zhang Fei in the bronze mirror, and opened her lips several times, but she still held back.

"What do you want to say, madam?" Zhang Fei asked suddenly.

Also frightened Gao Wenyin, she almost couldn't hold the comb firmly in her hand, obviously her eyes were closed? Looking into the bronze mirror again, Zhang Fei had opened his eyes and was looking at her with a smile.

She panicked, and mumbled: "Husband... Husband is going here, but... is there any danger?"

This woman is not stupid. She obviously wants to ask about success or failure, but she pretends to care about me. Zhang Fei said with a smile: "There is always danger. If you are in class, anything can happen."

After hearing this, Gao Wenyin's eyes were filled with worry.

Zhang Fei originally wanted to persuade her to rest assured, but the atmosphere was very similar to the parting between life and death in an idol drama, so he followed the atmosphere and said, "I happen to have something to ask my wife to agree to."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "Husband, please tell me, if Wen Yin can do it, Wen Yin will definitely agree to it."

Zhang Fei suppressed his smile, and said with his lines: "No matter the outcome of this trip, I hope Madam will stop thinking about suicide."

"Huh?"

Gao Wenyin never thought that Zhang Fei would make such a request.

Zhang Fei said: "For this lawsuit, many people have taken risks and exhausted their energy, just to save your lives and clear up your grievances.

If the wife wants to commit suicide, I think it will be unfair to many people, and it will also make everyone feel frustrated and make this lawsuit meaningless. "

Gao Wenyin frowned, her almond eyes gradually shed tears, after a while, she nodded lightly and said: "Okay, I...I promise my husband, no matter what, I will not seek death again .”

Idol dramas are still reliable! Zhang Fei nodded, "That's right."

Gao Wenyin silently helped Zhang Fei comb up.

"Husband, it's time to get dressed."

After combing the bun, Gao Wenyin shouted softly again.

"Take my shirt."

Zhang Fei stood up again.

"Oh."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly took out a green robe from the closet.

"It's not this one." Zhang Fei pointed to the closet over there, "It's the new ones hanging in it."

"Oh."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly went to the long wardrobe again, and when the wardrobe opened, she couldn't help being taken aback, "This...why are they all the same?"

I saw a row of turquoise robes hanging inside, about seven or eight pieces.

Zhang Fei said: "It's different! Those are new ones, you can just pick one up."

"Ah... oh, yes!"

Gao Wenyin took off the new dress, came to Zhang Fei, and asked cautiously: "Every time my husband goes to court, do you always wear new clothes?"

Zhang Fei nodded, "Although they all look the same, I hope each one has its own story."

Gao Wenyin nodded dully.

It can only be said that the person with the ear pen is really rich.

Under Gao Wenyin's considerate service, he soon helped Zhang Fei take care of every detail.

"How is it?"

Zhang Fei turned around and asked Gao Wenyin.

Gao Wenyin is also that kind of very simple woman, just like Zhang Fei, she is even more coquettish than she was standing in the alum building that day, she nodded and said in a different way: "Very... very beautiful."

"Oh, it's almost there."

Zhang Fei went to the closet again, took out a very exquisite small wooden box from it, opened the wooden box, and saw more than ten brand new short pens inside.

Although they are exactly the same, but Zhang Fei still chooses, "It's just you."

Get one and stick it on the brim of your hat.

Gao Wenyin felt even weirder.

After some care, the "couple" came to the hall.

Xu Zhiqian had been waiting here a long time ago, she was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night.

This is the first time for her to go to court. Although she is only assisting Zhang Fei, it is a dream come true for her.

Today, she is also dressed as a boy, and it is more retro. She is wearing a black robe with a red edge, which fully shows her tall and exquisite figure. The wooden hairpin on her hair has also been changed to red silk. The black hair was combed meticulously, and the fair and delicate melon-seeded face was fully exposed, showing a heroic spirit.

"Why are you dressed like this?"

Looking at Zhang Fei's fancy dress, Xu Zhiqian couldn't help rolling her eyes slightly.

As a girl, I dress so solemnly, but as a man, you dress so coquettishly.

"What do you know?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is called leading the fashion. Just wait and see. It won't be long before everyone in the world will learn from me. And after hundreds of years, when people see this outfit, they will still miss me." .”

Hundreds of years later? Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips in disdain.

Trust me.

"If you don't believe it, forget it!"

Zhang Fei raised his head towards the door, "Let's go!"

As soon as the door was opened, there was a vast expanse of darkness outside the door.

"Wow! What's going on!"

Zhang Fei bounced back quickly, and said in horror: "Are we under siege?"

Xu Zhiqian was annoyed and said with a smile: "They are here to cheer you up, besiege? This is the capital, what are you thinking."

"Cheer?"

Zhang Fei didn't react for a while.

Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "This lawsuit concerns the people of the world."

Only then did Zhang Fei come to his senses, he tidied up quickly, and asked Gao Wenyin, "Ma'am, is there anything else that needs to be tidied up?"

Gao Wenyin looked carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Very good."

Zhang Fei walked out with confidence.

He is so dazzling that he can be seen from far away, and when he stands at the door, he is definitely the focus of the audience.

"Zhang San!"

"Zhang San!"

.....

The people in front of the gate all raised their arms and cheered, making deafening shouts.

A closer look revealed that even Ma Tianhao, Chen Maoqian and others were among them.

Zhang Fei has also filed many lawsuits, but this has never happened.

I still remember that when I helped Li Si fight the lawsuit, many people even took pleasure in other people's misfortune and sang against it.

It can be seen how much the people hate this servant law.

To put it bluntly, you don't have to borrow usury.

The scariest thing in the world is that you can't refuse.

However, this time almost all non-privileged people spontaneously came to cheer for Zhang Fei.

They really hope this time, that Zhang Fei can recreate the magic.

Every sound is from the heart, filled with expectations.

Zhang Fei was also deeply affected, and involuntarily pulled up the smooth, delicate, weak and boneless hand beside him.

"What are you doing?"

Xu Zhiqian retracted her hand like lightning.

Zhang Fei was shocked, turned his head to look, and said depressedly: "I said Mrs. Xu, why do you always stand in the position of my wife. Get up! Get up!"

"I'll settle the score with you later." Xu Zhiqian glared at him and stepped aside.

Zhang Fei tilted his head and looked back.

Gao Wenyin blushed and stepped forward.

Zhang Fei took her hand and waved to the people in front, showing a confident smile.

The people were even more excited, and there was another burst of louder voices.

"Ear Pen Zhang San!"

"Ear Pen Zhang San!"

...!

Zhang Fei pulled his face, and put down his hands in embarrassment, you...you did it on purpose, right?

Getting into the carriage, the common people consciously made way.

I saw people standing on both sides of the road, and wherever the carriage passed, there was a burst of cheering, giving Zhang Fei the feeling that the carriage had never been moved.

"Miss Xu, why are you sweating?"

Zhang Fei turned around, and suddenly found that Xu Zhiqian, who was sitting opposite, had dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

"No...no!" Xu Zhiqian anxiously wiped his sweat with a silk handkerchief.

Zhang Fei said: "If you feel uncomfortable, just say it quickly, I can't take care of you all the time in the hall later."

"I'm fine. I just...!"

"Just what?"

"It's just seeing them expecting so much, I...I'm afraid I'll disappoint them." Xu Zhiqian said in a sarcasm.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't think too much, we are not their saviors, the decision is not in our hands."
