Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 18: Gone

In life, Sima Guang is definitely a very, very humble and generous gentleman, but like Wang Anshi, he is also very stubborn on some principled issues and will never give in easily.

So everyone jokingly called Wang Anshi "Yu Xianggong" and Sima Guang "Sima Niu" at the same time.

No one can hold back this bullish temper!

If their ruling ideas are completely consistent, in fact, whether they go to the left or to the right, it is definitely a blessing for Da Song.

Perhaps what happened later will not happen.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

After retiring, Sima Guang blamed himself very much and was very angry. He never thought that it would end like this. At the beginning, he had a certain chance of winning, but in the end he was defeated by his opponent in a daze.

Immediately ask someone to bring the court trial record just now, and while I was watching it, I studied it, why, such a simple murder case, it is really possible to label it as an over-defense.

It's really off the charts.

At this time, Lu Gongzhu, Wang Shiyuan, Qi Hui, Liu Shu and other professional judges also rushed over, and none of them came to their senses, how could this happen.

Seeing that Sima Guang was sitting on a chair with a sullen face, looking at the trial record, it was not easy to make a sound, so he sat quietly and waited.

After a long while, Sima Guang slapped the transcript on the table, and sighed angrily: "It's really careless!"

When he first left the class, his head was dizzy, but when he read the transcript with the attitude of a bystander, he suddenly discovered that since he interrogated Wei Ada, he has been dragged by Zhang Fei. Go nose to nose.

The key is that Zhang Fei uses the disparity in status between the two of them to compare him with the emperor.

He knew that this was definitely not the other party's brainwashing, the other party was clearly prepared and was waiting for him to jump into the pit.

You can ask yourself, if you give him another chance, will he choose to do something else?

Wang Shiyuan was also a little puzzled by this, and immediately said: "Scholar Sima was too gentle with that kid just now. He is so arrogant and despises the court. Why don't you punish him for the next crime?"

He made a very professional opinion.

If he was to be replaced, Zhang Fei would have been beaten so long ago that he could only interrogate on his stomach.

You are so cowardly, how can you interrogate!

He doubted whether Sima Guang was deliberately releasing water.

Sima Guang is really suffering. If he really hit Zhang Fei in the court at that time, I believe no one would dare to stop him, including Wang Anshi, Xu Zun and others. If such arrogant people of Erbi do not teach him a lesson Well, then who will take these masters seriously in the future.

But if the fight continues, their conservatives will lose the future, and it doesn't matter whether the lawsuit is fought or not.

In the future, as long as they reject the emperor's opinion, Wang Anshi will definitely use it as an argument, so you are allowed to argue with the emperor, Sima Guang, and no one else is allowed to argue with you.

Speaking from the side, is the emperor inferior to you?

Zhang Fei's ingenious argument directly brought in the dispute between prime minister and imperial power, which was actually the turning point of the trial.

Because this made Sima Guang completely lose his dominant position.

This point is also very important, because it directly led to the change of the entire trial process. Even the stern and selfless Bao Zheng couldn't handle the case so gently.

Zhang Fei is like a fish in water, because he is used to the atmosphere, while Sima Guang is at a loss.

It's a matter of course.

Lu Gong understood Sima Guang's difficulties. He had to think about the overall situation, so he really couldn't fight. He said, "I can't blame Sima University for this matter. Now that things are up, we should discuss how to judge this case." ?”

Qi Hui immediately said: "That kid is clearly playing tricks to confuse the public, so it's impossible to be overly defensive. If he wants to be sentenced like this, it's not encouraging the people to commit crimes."

Wang Shiyuan nodded and said: "It makes sense, there is no reason to go to other people's house for self-defense, and that kid has not produced hard evidence. If he is sentenced like this, it will cause endless harm!"

This is really a slap in the face.

As the highest judges of the Song Dynasty, they refused to surrender even if they surrendered their crimes. on this one.

Sima Guang said: "If we still want to uphold the original sentence, we must find evidence to refute the other party's inference that the woman had no intention of killing. You immediately send people to Dengzhou to investigate the details of the woman."

Due to the fact that there are all witnesses and material evidence in this case, which is an iron-clad fact, he didn't know enough about Ayun's past and family affairs, so he didn't investigate that part.

He thinks this is the main reason why he is at a disadvantage, so if he wants to dismiss Zhang Fei's appeal, he must start from the details.

Over there, when Xu Zun and Zhang Fei returned to the mansion, they saw that Zhang Fei had a complacent expression on his face, as if everything was over. Cleverly argued that this lawsuit still has to be fought, so he warned: "Don't be careless, Sima University didn't pronounce a sentence in the hall, but said that he would continue to investigate. It can be seen that he is not convinced, and he will definitely find a way to refute you. reason, and Bachelor Sima is one of the smartest people in Song Dynasty."

Zhang Fei smiled confidently: "Within ten days, Bachelor Sima will definitely give a verdict."

Hearing that his tone was so loud, Xu Zun immediately sneered and said, "You are too arrogant."

Zhang Fei said: "If your benefactor doesn't believe it, why don't you bet on something?"

Xu Zun is also a very individual person, and asked: "How do you say you gamble?"

Zhang Fei said: "If I lose, I will be entrusted by Engong for free for one year, but if I win, Engong will not only cancel my debts, but also give me thirty pennies."

"It's a deal!"

Xu Zun still doesn't believe in this evil, ten days? Hmph, you have too much faith in my Da Song's efficiency.

Zhang Fei said: "It's a deal."

Xu Zun suddenly thought of something, and said: "Wait a minute! The verdict will be given within ten days, but they didn't say how they will judge it?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's not how they want to be sentenced, but how we should try to get them to be sentenced."

Gone!

It's really floating!

Xu Zun glanced at Zhang Fei, and said earnestly: "Although you boy was very famous in the hall just now, don't get carried away. You are just a commoner after all. This secret rivalry is beyond your power." /

Zhang Feiyun said calmly: "There is no secret rivalry, because the opponent has already lost."

Xu Zun was quite drunk, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it! Forget it! I'm too lazy to argue with you. Then how do you judge this case?"

"Release immediately." Zhang Fei said.

Xu Zun was taken aback for a moment, and said, "How is this possible? Even if you are convicted of excessive defense, it is still a crime and you must be punished."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Do you still remember the reasons why the Sima University scholar opposed surrendering himself and commuting his crime?"

Xu Zun subconsciously said: "They consider this case to be malicious, so even if they surrender themselves, they will not be able to get a reduction in crime."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Although I acted on the defensive, it does not mean that I have given up surrendering and reducing the crime. If the case is judged to be on the defensive, it is of course not a malicious case, so it can be cited Surrendering herself to reduce the crime, Sima University scholar can hardly refute it any longer, and if she is too defensive, she will be reduced to a second class, and Ayun has been in prison for nearly half a year, which is enough for her to be released immediately."

"Yes! If the sentence is excessive self-defense, it will fully comply with the regulations for self-surrender and commutation."

Xu Zun suddenly realized, and suddenly looked at Zhang Fei with a hint of shock, and said, "Have you also taken the official family and the Grand Master Wang into consideration?"

Zhang Fei said: "I didn't consider them, I only considered benefactor, no matter what their purpose is, but after all they gave Engong great support, benefactor should also give back to them, so benefactor can also Get more support."

Xu Zun only felt that this son was really unfathomable!

If Zhang Fei is only proficient in the law and can speak eloquently, then he can understand it, but now this issue has more political significance. Heavy.

However, Zhang Fei still wants to get a more lenient sentence by surrendering himself to reduce the crime.

Sounds a little aggressive, but very political.

Because Wang Anshi and Sima Guang are arguing whether it is applicable to self-surrender and commutation, but this lawsuit is too defensive. Even if Zhang Fei wins the lawsuit, it is not easy to say whether Wang Anshi won on behalf of Wang Anshi.

There is a political difference between adding surrender and reducing crime and not adding surrender to reduce crime.

The more I think about it, the more incredible it becomes. This can't help arousing Xu Zun's love for talents, and he thought, this kind of talent can't be let go easily! Do I have to find a way to delay it for ten days?

"Engong doesn't want to get in the way, delay it for ten days, right?"

"What did you say? Ahem!"

Xu Zun suddenly opened his eyes and said, "You bastard, would I be that kind of shameless villain?"

"That's fine."

Zhang Fei said: "Tomorrow Engong will fight for the immediate release of Ah Yun."

Xu Zun was stunned for a moment, and said, "This is still pending!"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "But at least Mr. Benedict can express his attitude!"

Xu Zun saw that the kid didn't seem to be acting kindly, so he said, "What kind of trick do you want to play?"

Zhang Fei wanted to cry but said without tears: "This case has already been tried, shouldn't Dali Temple give its own opinion?"

Xu Zun always felt that this kid was playing tricks again, but he couldn't tell what it was.

"It's bad! It's bad!"

At this moment, a maidservant suddenly ran in in a panic, panting: "Master, something is wrong, Miss Qian'er is on a hunger strike."

Xu Zundao: "Tell her, if you starve for another ten days, you will let her out."

"Huh?"

The maidservant opened her small mouth slightly, staring at Xu Zun blankly.

Zhang Fei also looked at Xu Zun in disbelief, thinking, is this really his own?

Xu Zun gave him a vague look, it was all caused by you kid.
