Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 479: Bring a small fire first

However, after Zhang Fei agreed, Su Zhe didn't show any joy on his face. Cai Zhifu and the others are dissatisfied."

In fact, Su Zhe is also very entangled in whether he should re-examine the case, even if new evidence is found.

Because he also believes that this case is very, very difficult to judge. In any case, Mrs. Zhang brought Wu's mother to the river and helped Wu's mother to commit suicide. This is definitely against filial piety.

Based on this point, a heavy sentence is not an exaggeration.

But he also thinks that the ten heinous crimes are really unfair, and it may not be what Wu's mother wanted before she was alive, and it will completely destroy the family.

However, they have just come here, is it really good to do this?

He took the initiative to mention this case to Zhang Fei, instead of collecting evidence secretly and then prosecuting directly, in fact, he wanted to consider Zhang Fei's ideas.

He knew very well in his heart that it was not easy for the Public Security Bureau to gain a foothold here.

They need to cooperate now, and this must be carefully considered.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "We have come here from thousands of miles, not to please others. In this kind of criminal case, and it will not endanger the national interest, our imperial court does not need to consider anyone The only thing we have to consider is whether the evidence provided by your procuratorate meets the standard for trial."

Su Zhe couldn't help looking at Zhang Fei with a little surprise, because Zhang Fei was very tactful when he was an ear pen, and he couldn't tell whether he was right or wrong.

This remark made Su Zhe a little ashamed, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Sorry, I have thought too much."

Zhang Fei raised his hand and said: "There is no need to apologize, after all, Mr. Su Xiao is also thinking of me."

This attitude of Zhang Fei also made Su Zhe make up his mind, "Don't worry, I will try my best to find enough evidence."

Zhang Fei nodded, and suddenly asked: "Mr. Su Xiao, have you ever met the prefect Cai?"

Su Zhe hurriedly said: "I visited Cai Zhifu on the third day I arrived here."

Zhang Fei asked again: "I don't know what Cai Zhifu thinks about our public security law?"

Su Zhe pondered for a while, and said: "I don't know Cai Zhifu well. It was just a very ordinary visit at that time. Then Cai Zhifu didn't express too much thought, and his attitude towards me was very flat. But... ...!"

"But what?"

Zhang Fei asked.

Su Zhe said: "However, I think that whether the prefect Cai agrees with or disagrees with the public prosecution law, it is impossible to get too close to us, and it is unlikely to provide us with any help."

"Why?" Zhang Fei asked.

"Because the prefect Cai also has to worry about the ideas of his subordinates. After all, our public prosecutors will still encroach on the power of many officials when they come here."

"Yeah!"

Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "Does Mr. Su Xiao think that I will still visit the prefect of Cai?"

Su Zhe hurriedly said: "You have to go. At present, the judicial power of Hezhong Mansion is still in the hands of the government office. If you don't go, how will you complete the transfer of judicial power."

"That's true."

Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully. He is indeed not very familiar with the etiquette in the officialdom, so he has to ask Su Zhe for clarification.

Su Zhe suddenly said: "That's right! I heard that you were assassinated in Pinglu County?"

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, thinking, you just remembered! It seems that you are not surprised by this.

Su Zhe asked: "Have you found any clues?"

Zhang Fei shook his head, "It may be difficult, but I will definitely keep checking."

"Of course."

Su Zhe nodded, and said again: "But I don't think it is very likely that people from Hezhong Mansion did this."

Zhang Fei shrugged and said with a smile: "Everyone thinks so, but until the investigation results are out, I will retain my suspicion of everyone."

Su Zhe was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that this matter could indeed be used as a preparation to give local officials some fear, because this is a very serious crime. To assassinate a court official is to slap the emperor in the face, and to rebel There is no difference, as long as you find out, you will definitely die, nodded and said: "Of course, everything depends on the evidence."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and said: "Mr. Su Xiao, let's visit Cai Zhifu together tomorrow, oh, and Cao Yamen."

Su Zhe said: "You have to post a post first."

"Post...post?"

"When you visit others in the capital, don't you need to post?"

"Uh...."

Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "I usually rarely visit officials. It seems that we businessmen don't need it."

In fact, when he went to Wang Anshi and Sima Guang's house, he didn't follow the post, and went there when he had something to do. However, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang didn't bother with him, so that he developed this bad habit. , If you want to visit, you must post a post.

Su Zhe nodded in understanding, "Then let me write. When will you be free?"

Zhang Fei said: "The sooner the better, anyway, I have nothing to do recently."

Su Zhe nodded and said, "Okay, I will arrange this matter, and I will let you know when the time comes."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Fei arched his hands.

After talking about this matter, Su Zhe saw that it was not early, so he got up to leave.

Just as Su Zhe was sent away, Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi, Fu Shichun, a gang of gangsters came out from nowhere. They came here half an hour ago and had already visited the palace.

"Zhang San, do we live here too?"

Cao Dongdong asked.

That's not necessary, if you live with them, it will be torture. Although Zhang Fei was unwilling, he couldn't refuse directly, and asked tentatively: "Is the Yamen willing to live here?"

"Of course not!"

Cao Dongdong immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said: "It's nice here, but it's boring. Let's live in the city."

They all have a lot of money, so they don't care about this palace, and they still like the atmosphere of the market very much.

Happy!

Ma Xiaoyi didn't want to live here even more, but felt that he was a little disloyal, and said, "Third brother, I also want to accompany you, but I heard that the police station is located in the city, so I don't feel comfortable living here. Convenient."

Fu Shichun smiled and said: "Little Ma, your third brother may want you to live in the city."

"I didn't say that."

Zhang Fei glanced at Fu Shichun unhappily, and pretending to be helpless, he said to Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi: "You can do whatever you want. However, you have to go to the government office with me and Mr. Su Xiao when the time comes. Visit the prefect of Cai.”

"That's all you guys have to do. The yamen may be very busy and there is no time." Cao Dongdong shook his head and said.

Seeing his old-fashioned expression, Zhang Fei asked angrily, "What are you busy with?"

Cao Dongdong said: "My Uncle Qin sent someone over just now, and asked me to go to his house if I am free tomorrow."

"Uncle Qin?"

Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong curiously.

Fu Shichun said: "It is Qin Zhongshou, the commander of the Mabu Army of the Hezhong Prefecture. His grandfather was the general of the great-grandfather in Yamen."

Zhang Fei frowned slightly, then looked at Fu Shichun and said, "What do you think?"

Fu Shichun said with a smile: "The Qin family and the Zhong family have been staying at the frontier to fight against Xixia, and they seem to have a good relationship. Qin Zhongshou is eager to invite the Yamen to come over. I think it must be to find out what the Yamen has to say."

Some people are paying attention to the power changes brought about by the Public Security Law, but more people are paying attention to the kind of lawsuit, especially the generals here.

Because in the northwest, civil and military disputes are always the main theme. Since Zhao Xu asked Zhang Fei to review the case, it means that the imperial court has the power to involve military affairs. What they are worried about is whether the public security law is biased. Generals, or civil servants.

No wonder they didn't go to Su Zhe before, they were waiting for Cao Dongdong here, that's right, how could their generals trust me and Su Zhe. Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong, "Yanei, if Qin Zhongshou tried to test you, how would you answer?"

Cao Dongdong immediately said: "I don't know, and this matter is out of my control. If I want to ask, I should ask you."

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Then are you going to talk big?"

"Of course...not."

Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei warily.

Zhang Fei just looked at him without saying a word.

Cao Dongdong said with a guilty conscience: "Why do you ask this?"

Zhang Fei said: "If that Qin Zhongshou is testing you, just talk big and let them rest assured."

"Why?"

Cao Dongdong asked curiously.

Zhang Fei sighed: "Because in the public security law, the most difficult thing to build is your police station. I can't give you much support. If you can make them feel at ease, then they will support you. If you have the army Support, everything will get twice the result with half the effort."

Cao Dongdong was very cautious and said: "I have learned some big words from Xiao Ma and Xiao Chun, but you will be judged differently from what I said. Wouldn't it be harming me? Uncle Qin and the others will definitely think that I was lying to them."

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "You are my employer, my big client, I will not harm anyone if I harm you!"

Cao Dongdong's eyes lit up, and he immediately felt relieved, "That's fine, if Uncle Qin asks about it, I'll just say a few big words."

Brother, this matter cannot be done casually, you have to take some credit for yourself! Zhang Fei was still a little uneasy, and said: "When the time comes, you will take Brother Xiaochun and Xiaoma with you."

As he spoke, he glanced at Fu Shichun.

Fu Shichun understood.

Cao Dongdong saw it, but he also enjoyed it, this is the purpose of his fooling Fu Shichun, he said: "If you don't tell me, I will take them there too, and I will definitely drink at that time. I can't drink them alone."

After all, this police station is on the front line, and it is an armed force. Without this armed force, the imperial court and the procuratorate will become harmless to humans and animals, lacking deterrence.

The establishment of the police station is crucial and also the most difficult. For example, the imperial court and the procuratorate are relatively easy to build.

However, the police station has to recruit a large number of royal policemen and train the royal policemen, and they have to face the local forces directly.

Whether it is in Kaifeng Prefecture or a local state capital, important positions in the government, whether it is literary or military, are filled by the children of local gentry, and prefects generally rely on them to stabilize the place.

These people are definitely against the Public Security Law.

Because the public security law will break the tradition that the imperial power cannot be transferred to the county, and will also destroy their local privileges.

If you try to curry favor with them and continue to use them, the public security law will not be able to be established, and the situation is no different from what it is now, because their work for the government is an exchange of interests and has little to do with the judiciary.

But it is impossible to do without local forces at all.

As for the recruitment of the police station, they had already discussed it before they came, and it was still the same routine as the police station in the capital, transforming some local Yaqian officers into the royal police.

Most of these Yaqian soldiers are the children of local rich peasants. Their families have some money and some knowledge reserves. They belong to the middle class and are also the most exploited class.

Zhang Fei wants to use this group of people to build the public security law.

This has been very successful in the capital city. Currently, the team leaders in the capital city are all Yaqian soldiers, that is, the first recruited royal policemen.

From the Yaqian to the Royal Police, they can avoid being exploited, and at the same time they can get a good salary, which makes them cherish this identity very much.

More importantly, they can take their family's wealth to a higher level by virtue of their status as royal policemen.

It's not about taking bribes, but relying on one's own ability.

These exploited yamen are actually very capable. If they have connections and backgrounds, they will not be exploited. They can become rich peasants only by their own ability.

The success in the capital lies in the support of the Sanya, so it can also be followed here, and use the kind of lawsuit to hang these generals in exchange for their support to Cao Dongdong.

......

At this time, Gao Wenyin was leading Xiaotao, Li Si and the others to put away all the pots, pans, clothes, and bedding they brought.

Xu Zhiqian was only in charge of the study room, he took Qingmei to put many papers and books on the bookshelves in the study room.

But the difference is that Gao Wenyin arranged everything according to Zhang Fei's habits, while Xu Zhiqian arranged them according to her own habits, because Zhang Fei seldom looked at these things, and they were all read by her, and Zhang Fei was only responsible for asking her.

A pair of big hands gently hugged her slender waist from behind, "Thank you, lady."

Xu Zhiqian glanced back with her beautiful eyes, and rolled her eyes coquettishly at her husband, "What's the trouble?"

That pretty face didn't feel tired at all, but looked very excited. She came here to work. For a woman like her, this was unimaginable before, but she didn't know that this happiness came so suddenly. Can't wait to start working today.

"Then you have to pay attention to your body, come here, sit down and rest for a while."

"I think you want to rest."

Having said so, Xu Zhiqian and Zhang Fei still came to sit in front of a chair beside them.

"I heard that Mr. Su Xiao is here."

As Xu Zhiqian asked, she brushed Zhang Fei's strands of hair behind her ears.

"Yeah."

"Then did he mention the murder of his mother?" Xu Zhiqian asked again.

Zhang Fei was taken aback, and said, "You seem to be very interested in this matter?"

Xu Zhiqian glanced at no one around, "I don't think this is so simple, there may be something else hidden."

"Maybe."

Zhang Fei nodded, and then told Xu Zhiqian about Su Zhe's findings.

"It really is."

Xu Zhiqian nodded, as if she had thought of it before, and looked up at Zhang Fei, "Then how do you plan?"

Zhang Fei asked instead, "What do you think?"

Xu Zhiqian thought for a while, and said: "Since there is something hidden, it should be tried again."

Zhang Fei said: "Then if it is true what Mr. Su Xiao said, and there is solid evidence, how will you judge?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "I... I will definitely be punished lightly."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "In any case, Mrs. Zhang assisted Wu's mother to commit suicide. Maybe she did it out of various helplessness, but you have to consider the impact this will have on society.

There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time. If Zhang is treated lightly, it is estimated that the number of mother-killing cases will increase day by day. This son and daughter-in-law will force his mother to commit suicide every day, so as to reduce his burden.

But if the sentence is heavier, what is the point of the retrial? Not only will it arouse the dissatisfaction of Cai Zhifu and others, but it will also make many people feel that our imperial court's trial is unfair, because they may sympathize with Zhang. "

Xu Zhiqian frowned slightly, feeling that what Zhang Fei said made sense. This case seemed simple, but it was really difficult to interrogate, so she asked, "In other words, you don't plan to re-examine?"

"No!"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said with a smile: "As long as Mr. Su Xiao finds evidence, I will definitely re-examine this case."

Xu Zhiqian said in surprise, "But you didn't mean..."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "What I said just now is not the reason why I want to reject this case, but the reason why I want to accept this case. It is precisely because this case is relatively complicated, and "Song Xing Tong" contains There is no clear regulation, if we can try it clearly and give a different judgment, it will be able to demonstrate the justice of our imperial court.

This is just one, and second, this case is well known to everyone, and it is a matter of filial piety. If we want to retrial, it will definitely attract widespread attention. There is no better publicity than this. It is also necessary to create an atmosphere to make more people pay attention to this eucalyptus.

The third is to overturn the ruling of Cai Zhifu. There is nothing better than this to explain why we are here. Anyway, General Zhong and the others haven't come yet, so it's better to take this small test. "

He spoke eloquently, but Xu Zhiqian heard the lake in the lake: "But you just said that if you are punished lightly, it will have a bad impact, and what you are worried about is very likely. will happen."

Zhang Fei said: "So we have to find a way to eliminate this negative impact."

"What way?" Xu Zhiqian asked curiously.

"Still thinking about it."

Zhang Fei chuckled, and suddenly asked: "That's right! Did you bring Song Xingtong?"

"Of course I did!" Xu Zhiqian asked, "What do you want to check?"

Zhang Fei said: "Look up the regulations on the crimes of six murders. Mr. Su Xiao may sue for manslaughter or manslaughter."

Xu Zhiqian didn't dare to say it: "You don't even remember the Six Kills Regulations?"

Zhang Fei asked instead: "Do you know why Mr. Su and Mr. Fan lost the lawsuit to me?"

Xu Zhiqian asked, "Why?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's because they trust their own memories too much. For things like regulations, there is a huge difference between one letter and one word. Whether you remember it or not, you have to read it carefully before using it. If this is the case, why should I Remember, just have a general impression."

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly: "You can always find a reason to be lazy."

"Wrong!"

Zhang Fei shook his head and smiled: "This is not a reason, but a fact. Because I am the winner, what I said is right. If I can't win the lawsuit, I'm afraid everyone will scoff at me for saying this."
