Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 241: Why don’t I lose face in Kaifeng Mansion?
"It's really too cheap for them."
After sending Li Guozhong and the others away, Xu Zhiqian's words almost made Fan Li and Qiu Zhengwen fall on the spot.
"Enough! Enough!"
Fan Li said again and again: "This is already very difficult, not to mention our ears, even the imperial court has never recovered the fine of 500,000 guan, this, this, this."
He didn't even know how to describe this intentional settlement contract.
Actually, Zhang Fei has tried this trick before, but the amount he can claim in the end is often very limited.
Not a sky-high price in the monetary sense.
As far as the claim against Wei Yushan is concerned, it is only superficial.
And this time, it is definitely a sky-high claim.
Break all previous records.
The key opponents are all super big landlords in Tokyo, which was unimaginable in the past.
Zhang Fei glanced at Fan Li who couldn't speak clearly, chuckled, and said to Xu Zhiqian: "In the matter of negotiation, we can't just look at how much the other party pays, but also how much we get."
Xu Zhiqian was taken aback, "Isn't what the other party compensated us what we got?"
"Absolutely not."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Our employer's income is far more than half a million coins, and the significance is far-reaching."
Qiu Zhengwen on the side was very curious, "Third brother, what do you say?"
"You will know when the time comes."
Zhang Fei gave a deep smile, and suddenly said: "Actually, it's almost meaningless. At least compared to our neighbors, it's still far behind. We still need to work hard."
Qiu Zhengwen was surprised, "Neighbor? Who is it?"
Zhang Fei said: "Liao Kingdom!"
Fan Li was dazed for a while, before he realized it, his face turned pale with fright, "Hey boy! Saburo, please don't talk nonsense, if people listen to you, we can bear it. "
Zhang Fei smiled and didn't continue talking.
Fan Li quickly changed the subject, "Then do you think Kaifeng Mansion can agree?"
Zhang Fei asked back: "When will it be the turn of the Kaifeng government?"
"?"
And a fruitful negotiation will satisfy both parties, even the one who pays will not feel a loss.
For example this time.
Although Li Guozhong and the others agreed to many "harsh" conditions for Zhang Fei.
But when Li Guozhong and the others brought the news back, the landlords were all ecstatic, and praised Li Guozhong and other tea eaters.
You guys are amazing.
Professional!
These seventy-seven eighty-eight losses, added up and shared equally, each person is less than 10,000 yuan.
Value!
It's so worth it!
Isn't it ten thousand guan?
I can afford it.
Whoa!
As for those scholar-bureaucrats, they all breathed a sigh of relief and were very willing to accept the price, and no one complained.
Because in this game, they lost completely, and they were completely manipulated by the little emperor.
There must be a price to pay.
And Zhang Fei represents the imperial court, and behind him are the little emperor and Wang Anshi.
He is willing to reconcile, which means that the emperor will not go into the matter.
This is the best result.
As for money?
It should be a little money.
But this hanging heart has not been completely let go, because the two parties only signed a letter of intent, and the key depends on whether the Kaifeng government is willing to accept it. ...Although they all expected that the Kaifeng Mansion would definitely agree, as long as the Kaifeng Mansion does not pronounce a sentence, it will be difficult for them to completely relax.
Therefore, they came to Kaifeng Mansion early in the morning of the second day.
Almost no one was sitting, all were standing, but no one was chatting, and the atmosphere was quite weird, so when Su Shi, Su Zhe and others came here, they looked at the empty chairs and looked at the empty chairs. Looking at those pairs of dark circles, I can't help but feel my hairs stand on end.
What is the situation?
But they soon learned that Lai Zhang Fei and Li Guozhong had arrived earlier, and now they were discussing with Lu Gongzhu and others in the hall.
"Plead guilty?"
Lu Gongzhu looked at Li Guozhong and others with a little surprise.
Li Guozhong nodded and said: "If you go back to the magistrate, Xiaomin's employers have realized the mistakes they made, and they are willing to plead guilty to the law and make compensation for the mistakes they made."
It cannot be called a reconciliation with the Kaifeng government. After all, this case is tax evasion, which is an illegal act.
Lu Gongzhu is a little puzzled, if you confess this crime, then according to the penalty, even if the death penalty is exempted, then the living crime is inevitable.
The punishment for tax evasion in the Song Dynasty was actually very serious, the highest being Ling Chi.
At this time, Li Guozhong took out another confession and handed it over.
When Lu Gong read the confession, he immediately understood what was going on.
The above crimes are very light, anyway, they will confess whatever Wang Anshi sued, and the compensation they are willing to pay is far higher than the crimes they have admitted.
I have never seen such a sincere confession.
Lu Gong couldn't help but looked at Zhang Fei, and cursed secretly, this brat is really capable! Shen Mei asked: "Zhang San, are you satisfied with this?"
Zhang Fei said: "We are very satisfied."
Li Kai, Cen Yuanli and the others were a little confused. How could you have the final say on this illegal matter? Could it be that our Kaifeng mansion is really opened by his family?
Lu Gong nodded, and said: "You go out first, we need to discuss it."
"Xiaomin resigns."
After Zhang Fei and Li Guozhong withdrew.
Li Kai immediately complained: "Prefect Lu, what should be the verdict should be up to us, how can we allow them to decide."
Actually, they are all willing to end it early, which is almost enough, but it is very important who decides.
Lu Gong wrote and sighed: "If it is in accordance with the law, we can't decide."
"Huh?"
All the judges are stupid.
Gong Lu showed them the confession.
Li Kai and the others looked at each other after seeing it.
I almost hit the gate of **** yesterday, and after this night, I went straight back to the world.
What's even more outrageous is that if only these crimes are counted, then this punishment should not be too excessive.
It doesn't match at all!
Yu Zaishen wondered: "Prefect, according to yesterday's trial, it's impossible to just charge for this crime, we can't say how they plead guilty, we will sentence them, this will damage the prestige of our Kaifeng Prefecture."
Lu Gong asked: "Then what crime did they commit?" Cen Yuanli said: "What about tax bills and account books?"
Actually, they don't want to take care of this matter, and leave it to the higher-ups, but now they are still competing with Zhang Fei and the others.
Why do you have the final say.
Lu Gong said: "You can see clearly that the above list does not include Zhou Cai. And Du Shaojing and others did not show the tax bills. Although their names are on the account books, as long as they do not show the tax bills , then this is the fault of the imperial court, and there is no evidence to prove that it is related to them."
Li Kai said again: "Yesterday, Du Shaojing already admitted the crime he committed."
Lu Gong said: "That's not what he admitted, but what Zhang San sued, even Bai Qi's tax evasion was added by Zhang San, if Zhang San withdraws these lawsuits, then what do we get? To convict?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Kai and the others were stupefied.
Can you still do this?
If you think about it, they are really helpless.
Leaving aside the background of the imperial court, the initiative is still in the hands of Zhang Fei.
You must know that Wang Anshi's original complaint did not include Bai Qi's tax evasion, which was added in the court by Zhang Fei, and did not include the tax-evading land transferred to temples and Taoist temples, but sued them for some red Deed tax evasion land.
And this part of tax evasion is actually very small.
If the sentence is good, it can't be too severe.
The key is Zhang Fei. If he wants to prosecute these crimes, he has to fight. Zhang Fei has to prove that the judgment is in the hands of the Kaifeng government, but if Zhang Fei does not prosecute, then the other party will not violate the law.
If your Kaifeng government thinks that they violated the law, you can investigate and try it yourself.
We can't force Zhang Fei to sue.
After all, Zhang Fei is not a prosecutor.
It can be seen that if it acts according to the law, Kaifeng Mansion will be bound hands and feet.
Li Kai felt that he was very humble again, "But what kind of words are these, how to judge, whether it is light or heavy, it is all up to Zhang Fei to decide."
Mr. Lu hesitated and said: "We can also continue to review this case after the lawsuit is over. Zhou Cai must have clues."
Because there is no prosecuting party now, Kaifeng Prefecture has all the judicial power in one body, and the other side is already full of loopholes in this case, Kaifeng Prefecture can definitely conduct its own trial and investigation.
But the problem is that Zhang Fei also represents the imperial court. If the imperial court does not support it, it will be very difficult for the Kaifeng government to investigate this matter to the end.
"!"
Li Kai and the others are unwilling again.
In their view, Zhang Fei got into trouble, he took the money away, and we come to wipe our ass, doing this dirty and tiring job that offends others, that's even more unacceptable.
Li Kaidao: "Don't charge them any more."
"Even if this charge is added to the list, their compensation is more than enough." Lu Gong pondered for a while, and said: "The only thing we can do now is to fight for how to use this fine."
Li Kai and the others all looked happy.
If you can win the 500,000 guan fine, it will be tantamount to cutting off!
Of course you can.
Lu Gong wrote and ordered Wang Anshi to be invited to the inner hall.
Grand Lu did not look as good as Wang Anshi, and said directly: "Our Kaifeng government has decided to accept their confession, and use the 500,000 guan fine to offset the taxes of those self-cultivated farmers who have been persecuted by them this year. "...Wang Anshi was stunned, "This is the compensation claimed by the court, why should you Kaifeng government decide?"
Lu Gong said: "If you don't agree, I won't judge."
Wang Anshi excitedly said: "Uncle Hui, you are going too far, you are simply bending the law for personal gain."
Mr. Lu flinched, jumped up, and yelled at Wang Anshi: "It's me who went too far, or you go too far. If you want to sue, you can sue, and if you want to withdraw, you should withdraw. It's really your family that opened Kaifeng mansion." , especially that brat Zhang Fei, who is even more hateful, does he think he can cover the sky with one hand here?"
Wang Anshi still felt a little guilty when faced with the runaway Duke Lu, "Don't get excited, as the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture, you have to act according to the law, and you have no reason not to judge."
Lu Gong said: "Look if I have any."
Wang Anshi hesitated for a while, and said: "Half and half, I still plan to use this money to repair rivers and compensate those servants. You know that I will promulgate a new law on servants soon."
Lu Gong wrote: "This money will be used to build rivers, and nine out of ten it will go into their pockets. How much can those servants get? It is most practical to offset the taxes of the people. This money is still A lot of money goes into the treasury. I don’t care how the court uses it.
Zhang San also made it very clear in court that why Li Sancai and the others became their tenants was because they helped those landlords pay taxes, and the money should be compensated to those self-cultivating farmers who paid taxes for them. "
He is not stupid, the court should spend money to hire people to build river channels, and if you use the money to hire people, the court is purely making a fortune.
Wang Anshi dissatisfied: "You are too domineering."
Lu Gong said: "I want the money from Kaifeng Mansion, and we also want the reputation from Kaifeng Mansion. Don't you know how much you, Wang Jiefu, can get from this case? Once this case is sentenced, those landlords will not all have it." Going to pay taxes, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to suggest that His Majesty reform the tenants, and those tenants don’t all remember you, Wang Anshi, and you are the one who has gained both fame and fortune.”
Wang Anshi saw that he couldn't talk to him, so he stood up directly, "I don't understand the law, so I won't talk to you, I will let my ear pen talk to you."
Lu Gong hummed: "It's the same for anyone who comes."
