Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 110: Sit on an equal footing (Third watch! Thank you “Cai Shu Ning” leader)
Compared to the high-profile Zhang Fei, the two presiding judges, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, were relatively low-key, and they kept their things in their heads.
As usual, they came to the imperial city early as usual, met by chance in front of the gate as usual, and fought each other as usual...
"Good! Good!"
Sima Guang just nodded.
Wang Anshi asked curiously, "What's good?"
Sima Guang said: "Didn't you keep laughing that I lost to that kid last time? This time I want to see how capable you are. This time there are many helpers. If you can't beat that kid, But stop laughing at me."
Wang Anshi stroked his beard and laughed, with a trace of disdain in his peripheral vision.
Sima Guang frowned and said, "What are you laughing at?"
Wang Anshi hehe said: "When did I laugh at you for losing to that kid? I just laughed at you for not admitting you lost. This is not a real man. If what he said today makes sense, I agree. The lawsuit is based on reason, not victory or defeat, if justice can be found, it doesn't matter if I, Wang Anshi, concede defeat."
Sima Guang blushed, but nodded with a smile on his lips: "Okay, okay! I admit that I, Sima Guang, have a small belly and refuse to admit defeat, but Wang Jiefu may not be a real man."
Wang Anshi said: "Whether it is true or not is up to posterity."
"No!"
Sima Guang raised his hand, "You don't need to wait for future generations to talk about it. Before long, you will admit that you are smaller than me."
"Really?" Wang Anshi chuckled, "Then let's wait and see."
Sima Guang smiled and said nothing.
The two did not communicate with each other about the case.
In this lawsuit, Zhang Fei is not their enemy, but a treasure house. They all want to dig out the treasure they want from Zhang Fei.
On the contrary, the two of them have a competitive relationship, so naturally there is nothing to communicate with, since they each rely on their own abilities.
The two came to Dali Temple while fighting each other.
I saw a lot of people sitting inside, not only the jurors, but even those who watched the trial had already arrived.
The judges are all at the prime minister level.
In addition to Chen Shengzhi and Tang Jie, there are also old courtiers like Han Qi and Fu Bi who are already in the third rank. They are really shining stars, but they are all very low-key, sitting in that inconspicuous corner.
After all, this is the first time they have encountered it, and they also want to experience it. How should this kind of lawsuit be fought?
After saluting, Gemini sat on the chair of the presiding judge without hesitation.
Sima Guang said: "Colleagues, the other party is just a small pen, but we are such a big battle, others will complain about it when they see it. We must abide by the rules later on Don't be laughed at."
The implication is to warn the officials watching the trial, don't interrupt, although your status is very high, the rules cannot be broken.
That kid's mouth is very powerful, if he grabs the sore spot by him, he will beat to death.
You've all seen this before.
I will not save you at that time, lest I be dragged into the water myself.
Everyone understood and nodded.
Like Chen Shengzhi and the others, they are all gentlemen. If Sima Guang doesn't say anything, they won't talk too much.
Wang Anshi saw that the time was almost up, so he asked, "Is Zhang Fei here?"
Lu Gong said: "I guess we have to wait a while."
Wang Anshi asked: "How many of us are here waiting for him?"
Lu Gong said: "Just now I got the news that there were many citizens from Zhang Fei's side to see them off, so it was delayed for some time."
Wang Anshi sighed: "The people's will, this lawsuit is not easy to fight!"
Qi Hui said: "Scholar Wang, as the presiding officer, you should put justice first. Now that the lawsuit has not even started, if you say this, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction with others."
Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "Sorry! Sorry! I made a slip of the tongue, but please rest assured, I will treat it fairly."
Speaking of the latter, he suddenly glanced at Sima Guang and raised his eyebrows.
What is this little old man doing? Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this guy was hinting to him, look, look, brother is a real man, he must admit his mistakes. Immediately, he looked down on him, you are clearly acting like a good boy because of the cheapness.
......
At this time, a young man and a middle-aged man quietly came to the side door.
It was Emperor Shenzong Zhao Xu and his family member Liu Zhao.
"Hasn't Zhang San arrived yet?" Zhao Xu looked inside and saw that all the judges had arrived, but they were drinking tea and chatting there.
Liu Zhao then told the emperor about the people sending Zhang Fei off.
Zhao Xu sighed and asked: "The sage said, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. Why does everyone know that this is what the people want, but it can't be changed?"
Liu Zhao remained silent.
Zhao Xu waited for a while, glanced at him, and said firmly, "No matter what, I must change this evil law."
He was the only one who could say that. If Liu Zhao said it, he would not be beaten to death.
To put it bluntly, go transport the grain!
After a while, an official quickly walked into the hall and whispered a few words to Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.
The two looked at each other in surprise.
Wang Anshi shook his head.
Sima Guang glared at him and coughed lightly, "Zhang San has arrived, but he also brought an assistant, uh..."
Lu Gong said: "This is not a small lawsuit. There are many of us, so it is no problem for him to bring an assistant."
The rest of the officials also nodded.
Sima Guang said: "This assistant is the daughter of Xu Sishi, Xu Zhiqian."
"Woman?"
"...!"
All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay.
Liu Shu turned to Xu Zun and said, "Xu Sishi, your family education is really impressive!"
Xu Zun said neither humble nor overbearing: "I'm really sorry! I really can't stop the little girl from pursuing justice."
Wang Anshi couldn't wait any longer, and said carelessly: "Everyone from Erbi can come, so why not a woman."
As soon as this remark came out, it was surprisingly recognized all the time.
This reduced Zhang Fei's status to that of a woman.
Qi Hui teased: "As long as Xu Si has no opinion, we have no opinion either."
Xu Zun replied seriously: "I have no objection."
Wang Anshi said: "Then let's start quickly! Pass Zhang San."
I saw a guard carrying Zhang Fei into the hall, followed by Xu Zhiqian, and two guards behind were carrying a large box.
What are they here for?
Moving?
Wang Anshi said nervously: "Zhang San, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "When you go back to Master Wang, the citizens are too enthusiastic just now, and the people can't walk through the crowd. I didn't pay attention for a while, and sprained my foot."
Xu Zhiqian bit her lower lip tightly, expressionless.
Mr. Lu is stupid, this is not a success.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Wang Anshi glanced at Sima Guang, Sima Guang didn't move his lips, and muttered in a low voice: "Last time someone said I was partial to that kid, this time it's your turn."
Wang Anshi waved his hand and said, "Give him a chair."
"Hey! I don't dare to sit on a chair, a bench is fine." Zhang Fei hurriedly said.
Wang Anshi glanced at Xu Zhiqian who was next to him, and smiled secretly, you are so affectionate! He nodded at the guard.
Zhang Fei suddenly turned his head to look at the big box, "Scholar Wang, Xiaomin has prepared a lot of copywriting here, this...!"
Wang Anshi said: "Give him another long table."
"Yes."
"Thank you, Master Wang, thank you, Master Wang."
Liu Shu and other officials have already realized before, what a sprain, this kid just wants to be equal to us.
They all looked at Wang Anshi unhappily.
You are covering up too much.
Wang Anshi Quan pretended not to see it, and muttered: "If that kid wants to drink tea later, it will be your turn."
Sima Guang said: "Aren't you a real man? You should do such benevolent things."
Wang Anshi said: "But what the class emphasizes is fairness and justice, and we are only fair once each of us."
Sima Guang said helplessly: "Okay! Okay! It's really tiring to cooperate with you."
"Each each other!"
While muttering, the guards over there have moved the long tables and benches into the hall.
"Oops!"
When sitting down, Zhang Fei groaned, then looked at Xu Zhiqian and said, "Miss Xu, sit down, it's inconvenient for me to get up, I have to rely on you for many things."
Although Xu Zhiqian was very sassy, on this occasion, she was a little hypocritical, and even glanced at everyone.
All officials look away.
Shame on you!
Only Xu Zun nodded, still despising those people in his heart, you guys are really small.
Xu Zhiqian just sat down and muttered: "I really asked you for a seat."
"What are you asking for? I'm teaching them etiquette." Zhang Fei said again: "I have to ask for a cup of tea later."
Xu Zhiqian didn't laugh or cry, so she simply got to work and took out the copywriting from the box.
The officials panicked after seeing it.
They thought they had prepared enough, but when they saw that the other party had prepared so many copies, they suddenly felt that they were not working hard enough!
Still underestimating the enemy!
No, it's because this kid doesn't talk about martial arts, every routine is different!
Sima Guang said: "Can we start?"
"Wait, wait!"
Zhang Fei said with trepidation: "I haven't saluted the presiding judges yet."
Sima Guang hurriedly said: "You have an injury on your foot, so get rid of it!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately said to Wang Anshi: "Next time it's your turn."
Wang Anshi immediately glared at Sima Guang angrily, as if to say, I have never seen such a brazen person like you.
How did the officials below know that the two presiding judges supported Zhang Fei.
Zhao Xu outside the side door smiled and said, "I bet he never sprained his ankle."
Liu Zhao smiled and said nothing.
The **** next to him said: "Your Majesty, if you want a servant, please help Your Majesty move a chair."
Zhao Xu thought about it, Zhang Fei wanted a chair, it must be a protracted battle, so he nodded, "Give Liu Sheren one too."
Liu Zhao hurriedly said: "How dare I sit with your majesty."
Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "There is no need to worry so much on this occasion."
With a sprained foot, all etiquette is gone.
Wang Anshi said: "You are old rivals, I will give you a chance for revenge."
Sima Guang snorted, and then asked Zhang Fei: "Zhang San."
"Xiaomin is here!"
"Are you using the law of your ancestors to sue the imperial court for violating the law of servants?"
"Yes."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Sima Guang said: "Of course the laws of the ancestors must be followed. If this law violates the laws of the ancestors, it is naturally wrong. But the laws of the ancestors are not laws after all, and what you wrote in the pleadings is Taizong A sentence in the imperial edict, so in your opinion, is it the edict of the great ancestor and the great ancestor, all of which are the laws of the ancestors?"
