Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 189: Clash again

Wang Hong's lungs exploded with anger, and his character is also very fierce, so when he grabbed those ear pens, he just gave him a slap in the face, let's talk about it after hitting.

Of course he knows the whole story of that incident, but in his opinion, Zhang Fei is a troublemaker who wants to take advantage of the tax loophole to make profits for himself, so he can't be too lenient towards such troublemakers, and must be dealt with severely. Only in this way can it be managed well.

If Zhang Fei didn't bring the imperial plaque that day, he might really hit it.

He even believed that Zhang Fei's arrogance was all indulged by Kaifeng Mansion.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

This kid is really ruthless, and he was definitely not connived by the Kaifeng Mansion.

Not only did he plan to take revenge on him, but he also insulted him face to face, this man almost fainted from anger.

This trickster is going to heaven!

But at the same time, there was a trace of uneasiness in my heart.

It feels a little bad.

"Don't get angry, Wang Zhixian, he just wants to provoke you on purpose and make you mess up in the court."

Fan Chunren saw Wang Hong standing there motionless, with lightning and thunder on his face, and also expected that Zhang Fei hadn't said anything good, so he came back and tried to persuade him.

Wang Hong glanced at Fan Chunren and took a deep breath: "Fan Sijian, don't worry, I've been to this court more than him, and I won't fall for his tricks."

At this point, he paused for a while, "But... but is Fan Sijian confident?"

In the past, when he was trying a case, he would just sit on the sidelines, purely to serve him. As the defendant for the first time, he inevitably felt a little uneasy.

Fan Chunren said confidently: "As long as you follow what I told you, at most you will be convicted of inhumane crime."

Wang Hong just nodded slightly.

Although the crime of inhumane crime will basically not be punished, but it is a crime after all, so can't the other party be convicted?

He couldn't help complaining about Wei Yushan again.

......

Zhao Yan also came to Kaifeng Mansion early to prepare.

"Here we go again."

Zhao Yan raised his eyes and looked around, all kinds of past flashed in his mind.

He used to be the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion before, and he cleared the prison in less than three years. His reputation at that time was really comparable to that of Bao Zheng.

It was a wonderful experience for him.

This is also the reason why Lu Huiqing proposed to let him come for trial.

For Zhang Fei, a fair presiding judge is in his favor.

Li Kai, who was next to him, complained: "Mr. Zhao, this case is getting harder and harder to judge now!"

This time Lu Gong ran away, but he didn't run away, feeling very depressed.

Zhao Yan glanced at Li Kai, smiled and said: "To tell the truth, Li Tongjuan, I was the same as you last time, and I was also worried about Fan Sijian's loss in the lawsuit. The pen is used to influence the officials to review the case."

Li Kai nodded straight, that's all.

With Zhang Fei's court, the protagonist has never been the presiding judge.

Zhao Bian changed the subject: "However, I also reflected on it later. What we pursue in the trial is fairness and justice, not victory or defeat and face. As long as we uphold the attitude of pursuing justice, we will not care so much, and we will not care too much." You will not feel aggrieved and uncomfortable, and the ear pen is assisting us in our trial, not our enemy."

In fact, everyone is a little uncomfortable with Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei is indeed a bit overwhelming, which leads officials to think that I am making decisions based on a pen. Did it go in the stomach? I felt very humiliated.

Although Zhao Yan hadn't tried the trial, he was a bit stubborn last time, thinking that Fan Chunren lost and he would lose face, but the attitudes of Han Qi and Fu Bi at that time made him reflect on himself.

Han Qi and Fu Bi's status was much higher than his, but the two of them never felt ashamed of it, whatever the result was, no one said anything about them afterwards.

A very simple reason, since what Zhang Fei said is more reasonable, why do you disapprove of him.

This is not a fight, but a trial.

......

Lu Gongzhu also came today, but he didn't even wear an official uniform, but it didn't mean he was relaxed, because Lu Jiawen was the litigant.

When we came here, we quickly called Lu Jiawen.

"Grandpa!"

Lu Jiawen glanced at Lu Gong's work with some guilt.

Lu Gong said: "The matter has come to this, you should try to behave better, don't lose face to our Lu family."

After listening to Lu Jia's question, he immediately said excitedly: "Grandpa, please rest assured, grandson will never disgrace our family, and grandson is also very confident in his eloquence."

Grand Lu frowned and said: "I called you here to tell you this. Whether it is Zhang San or Fan Sijian, you are not easy to provoke. Don't be careless and tell the truth about everything." , don’t show off your self-righteous eloquence.”

Lv Jia stopped talking immediately, "Grandson knows."

Gong Lu took a look at him, "I hope you really know."

.....

Gradually, there are more and more people in the Kaifeng mansion, and this lawsuit is also attracting the attention of all the people in the court.

Because it involves two very sensitive topics, one is judiciary and administration, this is a problem that many officials worry about, whether the judiciary will infringe on their rights and interests.

Second, there is the issue of taxation, which almost everyone cares about.

Anyway, it's terrible.

When Sima Guang and Wang Anshi appeared, everyone's eyes were on them. Even Han Qi and Fu Bi did not have such a high degree of attention.

There was so much trouble in the imperial city last time, the two seemed to be in a state of cold war, and they almost never appeared together.

Now that so many people are paying attention, there must be some sense of ceremony.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

When Wang Anshi saw Sima Guang, he hurriedly cupped his hands to congratulate him.

This is clearly the weasel's New Year greetings to the chicken.

Sima Guang said expressionlessly, "Why did you congratulate me?"

Wang Anshi said with a smile: "No matter who wins or loses in this lawsuit, you, Sima Jun, are indeed the biggest winner. It is really gratifying!"

Sima Guang said calmly: "Perhaps in your Wang Jiefu's eyes, this lawsuit is judged by victory or defeat, but in my Sima Guang's eyes, justice is the most important thing."

Wang Anshi laughed and said: "The last time those ear pens were beaten for no reason in Kaifeng County, you were talking about money, not justice."

Sima Guang said: "I remember that you were also supportive at that time."

Su Shi next to him watched the two fight again, and was about to step forward to tease him. Last time he was **** off by the two of them, he was very dissatisfied. He was always looking for opportunities to take revenge, and suddenly felt pain in his feet. With a small sound, he turned his head to look at Su Zhe: "Why are you stepping on me?"

Su Zhe hurriedly said: "Second brother, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention for a while."

Su Shi said in a bad mood: "Third brother, how long have you been in the second government regulations department? Your ability to lie has really improved a lot. The new laws and regulations you enacted are also deceitful in all likelihood. .”

Su Zhe couldn't laugh or cry: "Second brother, don't join in the fun, these two are not easy to mess with."

Su Shi was unconvinced and said: "He can provoke Zhang San, but I, Su Shi, can't?"

In terms of talking, Su Shi has never convinced anyone.

......

At this time, Zhang Fei and Fan Chunren had been called to the inner hall by Zhao Yan.

"What do you think of the trial in the Zhengshitang as last time?"

Zhao Bian asked the two of them.

The last time the dispute was not in a traditional way, but Zhao Yan also felt that now that the ear pens are so powerful, they should be given some status.

Zhang Fei and Fan Chunren nodded at the same time.

Zhao Yan said again: "But this time there are a lot of witnesses, and I can't let them all sit in the hall for trial. What do you think?"

Fan Chunren immediately said: "I made the decision last time, this time it will be up to Zhang San to decide."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Last time I won a big victory. This time the audience is even bigger than last time. In order to increase the viewing experience, it is up to Fan Sijian to decide. I don't care."

Zhao Yan asked: "Are you here to perform?"

Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "After all, Xiaomin is a citizen, and Fan Sijian is an official. If the loss is too ugly, it will be my fault in the end. Xiaomin is really difficult."

The corners of Fan Chunren's mouth twitched.

But there is no way, who made him lose.

Zhao Yan also had some high blood pressure, regretted asking them, and said: "In this way, when the time comes, you will pass a witness one by one, and you will come in turn, and there will be objections."

Both said no.

......

After everything was ready, Zhao Bian was formally promoted.

Compared to the unprofessional judiciary in Zhengshitang, Kaifeng Mansion is full of ritual.

Amidst the mighty sound, Zhao Yan, dressed in an official uniform, came to the presiding judge majestically. After sitting down, he slapped the gavel and passed Zhang Fei and Fan Chunren to the court.

Zhang Fei is still husband and wife, this time Xu Zhiqian did not feel shy or flustered, after all everyone already knew that Xu Zun betrothed her to Zhang Fei.

As for Fan Chunren's old partner, he was with Qian Yi.

Although Fan Chunren came up with the idea this time, the two of them lost together last time, and it wouldn't make sense without Qian Yi.

The four of them bowed to Zhao Bian and sat down.

Looking at this posture, one can tell that the interrogation method of the last political affairs hall has continued.

Han Qi was amused, and said to Fu Bi next to him, "I have to say, this way of judging cases is really very entertaining, even more interesting than going to a restaurant to listen to music and watch dances."

Fu Bi glanced at Han Qi, and couldn't help teasing: "Han Xianggong is really as romantic as before!"

"...?"

Han Qi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Fu Gong doesn't know something, he has quick legs and feet, so he can't stay idle at home!"

Sitting on this cannon battlefield, these people's mouths seem to be a little swollen, and they are eager to try.

They have all seen this scene before, but it is the first time seeing the people onlookers at the door. So professional today.

Many viewers did not understand what this was for.

After Xu Zhiqian sorted out the documents, she glanced at the opposite side curiously, and seeing that there were only a few pages on their desk, she whispered to Zhang San: "Zhang San, look, they still haven't prepared any documents."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's just a matter of habit, but don't worry, there will be more and more in the future."

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

Zhang Fei said: "Professional."

When they were ready, the first witness Zhao Bian announced was Lu Jiawen.

This is not an option for them.

The plaintiff must be a court.

Why are you suing, you have to explain it!

Otherwise, there will be no trial.

Lv Jiawen was really young and frivolous, he was very excited to come to the hall, there was no fear on his face, his expectant eyes seemed to say, ask me, ask me.

Because the opponent was Wang Anshi last time, it was impossible for Wang Anshi to stand, but he was given to sit.

Since they have already sat down, Zhao Bian has also arranged a seat for the witnesses. He thinks that the last time was very good, and there is no need to change it.

After all, they are witnesses, not criminals.

Zhao Yan first asked Lu Jiawen to explain the ins and outs of the whole matter.

In fact, this is really for the audience to hear. After all, this case is also related to people's livelihood, and public opinion must also be taken care of.

Lu Jiawen immediately told the truth about what happened in those few days.

This Zhang Fei has an explanation, let him not start from Geng Ming's complaint, but from the moment he received the pleading paper, he can only explain the process he personally experienced.

After he finished speaking, Fan Chunren stood up first, and said: "According to your confession, the first time Wangzhi County came to you to talk about Geng Ming's case, you had a fierce dispute."

Lu Jia asked and nodded, "Yes."

Fan Chunren said: "I don't know why you are arguing?"

Lu Jia asked and replied: "Because the evidence of Wang Zhixian's questioning Geng Ming is insufficient, so I suggest to settle the matter, but I think Geng Ming's evidence is very sufficient. Wang Zhixian deliberately favors Wei Yushan, so he has a dispute with him."

Fan Chunren asked: "So Wang Zhixian and you are just arguing whether the evidence is sufficient?"

Lu Jiawen immediately said: "Of course not. At that time, Wangzhi County could not compete with me in terms of evidence, so he humiliated me with my family background, saying that if I hadn't relied on my ancestral shadow to be an official, I wouldn't even be a subordinate official. Know how to judge."

Fan Chunren said: "So you hold a grudge, and you don't hesitate to make an exception and sue the county government in the name of the Siliyuan. The purpose is to get revenge on Wang Zhixian."

Zhang Fei stood up, "I object!"

"I'm done asking."

Fan Chunren glanced at Zhang Fei, then sat down.
