Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 23: Give it to him! Give him all!

Perhaps the end of the Ayun case is only the beginning for Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and others, but for Xu Zun, it is the end.

Although this maelstrom was caused by him, he has no intention of getting involved in it.

His mind is still on work.

He came to Dali Temple today with excitement, and now, as a judge of Dali Temple, he has the right to amend and improve the law.

The first thing he needs to improve is the doubts he raised in the Ayun case.

One, to further standardize self-surrender and plea.

Second, the confession applies to those crimes.

Third, how should the imperial court balance civil etiquette and court legal system.

These three points may seem simple, but they are actually very difficult, especially based on the current phenomenon of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty. For the same matter, many yamen can intervene, and the amendment itself is very difficult.

In addition, although the civil etiquette and the court legal system are similar, but the legal system does not allow minor differences, but it cannot be completely to one side, and the folk etiquette must be taken into account.

In the case of Ayun, they obviously completely ignored the civil etiquette and law, but focused on the court law. question.

The whole society will be turned upside down.

Fortunately, today is not a society with a complete legal system, nor is it an era of litigation. If anyone uses the Ayun case as a precedent to sue, the court can make a judgment at its discretion, because there is no precedent!

But it's a bug after all.

But just when Xu Zun was full of energy and ready to do a big job, he was summoned into the palace by the emperor as soon as those hall records were transferred.

When I came to the hall, I saw that apart from Shenzong, there were three big bosses, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and Lu Gongzhu.

"I see Your Majesty."

"Excuse me."

Song Shenzong stretched out his hand slightly to signal, and then said: "I called you here today, because I want to ask you about something."

Xu Zun asked: "I don't know what your majesty is asking?"

Song Shenzong said: "It's about Zhang San, a citizen of Erbi. When he was in Dengzhou, did you give him official documents and allow him to go to court to plead?"

Xu Zun's heart skipped a beat immediately. How could the emperor know about this? That kid's methods are really powerful. He shook his head and said, "I didn't give it to you."

Sima Guang said solemnly: "Xu Si's matter should be known, and the people of Erbi must have official documents from the government before they can file a lawsuit."

Xu Zun hurriedly said: "Scholar Sima is right, this is my negligence. At that time, it was because Zhang Fei was a witness in this case. He also defended himself, and he also provided some new evidence. evidence, so I don't care whether it has the right to sue."

As soon as this remark came out, Song Shenzong, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and Lu Gong had different expressions.

Xu Zun also felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so he asked, "I don't know what happened?"

Lu Gong looked at Xu Zun suspiciously, and said, "Don't you know about Xu Temple?"

Xu Zun shook his head.

Gong Lu asked again: "Isn't that Zhang San a secret guest in your house?"

Xu Zun explained: "To tell the truth, Governor Lu, I once recruited him, but at that time he only wanted to repay his kindness and defend Ayun, so he didn't agree to me. What happened?"

The more you talk about it, the more flustered he is!

It's inconceivable how Zhang Fei, a man of Erbi, could make the emperor discuss him with the three big men in the court.

Lu Gong said: "Just now Zhang San came to Kaifeng Mansion to surrender."

"Surrender yourself?"

Xu Zun asked in surprise, "Why did he surrender himself?"

Lu Gong wrote: "The crime of deceiving the emperor."

"What?"

Xu Zun almost didn't jump up, his whole face was bloodless.

This crime is really a stepping stone to hell!

Lu Gong wrote: "He said he had no right to sue, but he didn't tell His Majesty, and under His Majesty's instruction, he defended A Yun, committing the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"This."

Xu Zunren is stupid.

Worthy of being a professional, he surrendered himself from the capital so clearly that he didn't know how to refute it.

Wang Anshi suddenly asked: "You really don't know anything about Xu Si."

"I really don't know, he didn't mention it to me."

At this point, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be involved, and hurriedly said to Song Shenzong: "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime, and I did not inform Your Majesty in time. I deserve death."

This seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Song Shenzong was at a loss for a while, he didn't even think it was a crime of deceiving the emperor!

This pocket crime is usually used against ministers, and it is almost never used against ordinary people.

Wang Anshi suddenly said to Song Shenzong: "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very suspicious."

Song Shenzong asked: "What do you say?"

Wang Anshi said: "This case is over, and no one in the court has pursued this issue. Why did Zhang Fei suddenly go to the Kaifeng Mansion to surrender? I think someone must be threatening him behind this, and this person has a strong background." So much so that Zhang Fei didn't dare to ask Xu Si for help."

Song Shenzong frowned when he heard that, very upset.

This is too much.

If you lose the lawsuit, you still don't admit it, and engage in such crooked ways.

If you want to play this way, then I can do it too.

You old boy, you are really killing people without blood! Sima Guang immediately stood up and said: "I also agree with the words of Wang Dashi, this matter must be investigated to see who did it?

In addition, I believe that the key to this case is not Zhang Fei's identity, he was recommended by Xu Sishi to come to Dali Temple to plead, which is better than the official document bestowed by the government. "

Song Shenzong glanced at Sima Guang, nodded, and said to Lu Gong: "Qing, can you ask why he suddenly surrendered himself."

Lu Gong said: "I have confirmed to him again and again that Zhang Fei did not mention anyone threatening him. He just felt that if he didn't tell the matter, he would be ashamed of his loyalty to His Majesty."

Wang Anshi said: "This reason is not convincing enough."

Sima Guang frowned, he was indeed dissatisfied, but he would not use such abusive means, to prove his innocence, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I have a suggestion."

Song Shenzong said: "What suggestion do you have?"

Sima Guangdao: "As I said before, Zhang San was recommended by Xu Sishi, and he is absolutely qualified to defend Ayun, but now that someone wants to be serious about this identity issue, why doesn't the court give him another identity to block him?" Shut those people's mouths."

Lu Gong immediately stood up and said: "I also agree."

Wang Anshi looked at Sima Guang suspiciously, thinking, it seems that it is really not him, so what is going on?

"What you said is reasonable." Song Shenzong nodded, and immediately said: "I will give him an identity according to Qing's wishes, and this matter will stop here, don't mention it again."

This case is the first fire since he took the throne, and it cannot be overturned no matter what. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Zhang Fei wanted to die, he couldn't die on this case.

Xu Zun, who had been in a dazed state all this time, suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and saw his swollen cheeks, wishing he could crush his teeth, this brat is real.

"Xu Zhongtu! Zhongtu!"

"Huh?"

Xu Zun was startled suddenly, only to see that Song Shenzong, Sima Guang, and Lu Gong had already left, while Wang Anshi looked at him suspiciously.

"Zhongtu, are you okay?" Wang Anshi asked.

Xu Zun cupped his hands and said, "I'm fine."

Wang Anshi asked again in a low voice: "Are you really ignorant of this matter?"

Xu Zun shook his head and said, "If I had known, this would never have happened."

Wang Anshi asked again: "Do you think someone is obstructing this matter?"

Yes! It's just that brat! Xu Zun is really suffering!

Seeing his expression, Wang Anshi became even more suspicious, and asked, "Zhongtu, do you know something?"

Xu Zun looked at Wang Anshi's face full of doubts. He also knew that Wang Anshi's current situation was really a war of grass and trees, so he weighed it in his heart. It must be towards Zhang Fei, so he pulled Wang Anshi outside and muttered a few words in a low voice.

When Wang Anshi heard this, he was stupefied. After a while, he said, "What are you talking about? He did this just for the official document?"

Xu Zun nodded and said: "That's probably the case, but I also speculate based on the results of this matter. It may also be that he is afraid that someone will use this to attack him, so he wants to make up for this loophole."

Wang Anshi, who made a false alarm, really wanted to cry without tears: "I said Brother Zhongtu, you are too pedantic, he has helped you so much, so what if you give him an official document, it is not illegal .”

Xu Zun sighed: "The matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more."

Wang Anshi suddenly burst out laughing.

Xu Zun wondered, "Jiefu, what are you laughing at?"

Wang Anshi laughed and said: "This brat is really courageous, because of a piece of official document, he almost caused a disturbance in the city again."

If this case were to be overturned, it would be very scary.

Xu Zun snorted, "You're not wrong. This kid's courage is indeed extraordinary. Do you know what the first thing he did when he was released from prison?"

Wang Anshi asked: "What did he do?"

Xu Zundao: "It is to sue me for letting him sit in prison for three months and ask me for compensation."

"Really?"

"It's true."

Wang Anshi laughed and said, "But he succeeded, didn't he?"

Xu Zun nodded reluctantly.

Wang Anshi said: "This shows that this person is not brave or foolhardy. Such a talent, why don't you know how to cherish it, and let him go to be a citizen of Erbi?"

On the contrary, he admired Zhang Fei more and dared to act.

Xu Zun smiled wryly and said, "I have recruited him many times, but it's a pity that he doesn't like my servant."

Wang Anshi said: "Don't you know how to recommend him as an official?"

Xu Zun just smiled.

Wang Anshi knew Xu Zun's character very well, even his own son was unwilling to take care of him, so he stopped talking.

When Lu Gong returned to Kaifeng Mansion, he immediately ordered someone to quickly issue an official document for Zhang Fei, but since Zhang Fei did not have a household registration, according to what he said, this household registration was lost when the ship sank, so this The official documents couldn't be processed, so the Kaifeng government gave him another copy of the capital's household registration by the way.

This is the imperial decree of the emperor, everything can be done quickly, and it will be done in less than an hour.

This back door really doesn't need lubricating oil, and the sense of urgency is full, how cool it is.

"The emperor's grace is mighty! The emperor's grace is mighty!"

Zhang Fei hugged the official document tightly, shouting with tears in his eyes.

Lu Gong said: "It's done! It's done! Now that you have official documents, you can't talk about the crime of deceiving the emperor. You can go quickly."

Zhang Fei looked at Lu Gong again with tears in his eyes, "Xiaomin is causing trouble for the magistrate, Xiaomin!"

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "Come here! Throw this troublemaker out to me."

"Don't, don't, I'll go by myself, can't I go by myself."

Zhang Fei escaped in a very embarrassing situation.

"Finally, the plague **** was driven away."

Lu Gong couldn't help but heaved a long sigh of relief.

Chief Registrar Huang Gui said: "Now that he has official documents, why don't he come here to sue every day?"

Lu Gong's work immediately petrified.

Zhang Fei came out of Kaifeng Mansion, his expression changed, he looked at the official document in his hand, and a smug smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed his wrist.

He turned his head and exclaimed, "Scholar Sima."

"Good boy!"

Sima Guang took his wrist and asked, "What is your intention in doing this?"

He was actually panicked at the time, he was really worried that Wang Anshi would take advantage of this to attack him, he even thought that Wang Anshi instructed Zhang Fei to do this.

Sure enough, when this kid came out, he had a sinister smile on his face.

As expected of someone who smashed tanks, this hand strength is really not small! Zhang Fei's eyes flickered a few times, he raised his hand, and broke free: "For this official document."

Sima Guang asked suspiciously: "For this official document, you are willing to surrender yourself for the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Xiaomin knows that Grand Master Sima has been dissatisfied with that lawsuit, and Xiaomin thinks that lawsuit is almost perfect, except that Xiaomin's identity has objections. Only when this loophole is gambled is it truly perfect, and even a bachelor Sima can't overturn the case."

Sima Guang looked directly at Zhang Fei, and after a while, he smiled slightly: "You must have underestimated the old man, the old man is indeed not convinced, because you did not win with evidence."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "That's why the little people are afraid that the great scholar will treat him in his own way."

Sima Guang glared at each other immediately: "You bastard! How could this old man be like you? Even if this old man wants to overturn the case, he will definitely produce solid evidence to convince everyone."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Then Xiaomin can rest assured."

My heart is full of joy, even if you really go to Hanyang to investigate my identity in the future, you can't use it to attack me. hey-hey!

Sima Guang saw that strange light flashing in the boy's eyes again, and he immediately came to his senses. One of the important reasons why he lost that lawsuit was that the two had equal status in the court from the beginning.

Now that I'm uttering harsh words again, I can't use my identity to deceive others.

Can't help secretly angry, how can I forget to eat but not beat.

I am a majestic scholar, why do I have to compete with a people of Erbi on the law.

But after thinking about it, I am already a bachelor, and I have studied for decades. Is it reasonable to say that a child in his early twenties is not a joke?

In the end, pride overcame reason.

Sima Guangming knew that Zhang Fei was playing tricks, but he didn't point it out. To win, he had to win the opponent's heart.

Sima Niu is so serious.
