Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 480: There is not much time left for them


The purpose of Zhang Fei's coming here is not to plead for the lives of the people, nor to try a few complicated cases.

Isn't it illegal for the powerful to kill people now?

Of course it's illegal.

Zhang Fei wants to build a brand new judicial system here, and even change the previous judicial concepts. This is the most difficult thing.

Therefore, this requires publicity, and it is necessary to show the excellent side of this system in order to gain everyone's approval.

It's like doing business.

Originally, Zhang Fei planned to use Zhong Er to light the first fire, and to frighten both civil and military, but now it seems that Zhong Er may not arrive until later, at least he must first kill this fire. The details of the Public Prosecution Law have been found out, but this is not surprising, after all, generals are very afraid of such things.

It just happened to happen that the Zhang family killed his mother again.

As for this kind of eucalyptus, in fact, later generations often encounter it, and it is often the balance between law and emotion.

This is a very typical case, and it is also closely related to the lives of the people. It can be used for packaging and publicizing the public security law.

......

After taking a nap in the room with Xu Zhiqian, the young couple went out of the study to help Gao Wenyin.

After all, it is not a matter of a day for such a big family to settle down here. In addition to the exhaustion of the boat, everyone's faces are tired. Just tell Qingmei and the others to make up their bedroom.

Everyone just had a hasty dinner, and then went back to their houses to rest.

On the second day, Zhang Fei slept until the sun was high before slowly waking up. There was already nothing around him. Xu Zhiqian's biological clock was quite scary.

Although the place has changed, Gao Wenyin remains the same, standing behind Zhang Fei and combing his hair carefully.

"Ma'am."

"What is it?"

"You don't have to wake up so early for me every day. You are tired after a long day of work. You should rest more."

Seeing Gao Wenyin's haggard face, Zhang Fei couldn't help being very concerned.

Gao Wenyin hurriedly explained: "This has nothing to do with you, it's because I didn't sleep well last night."

Zhang Fei asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No." Gao Wenyin shook her head, "Perhaps I'm not used to it."

Accept the bed? Probably not, when I was in the new house, I never heard that she wasn't used to it! Could it be that she has not come out of the assassination that day.

Zhang Fei suddenly thought, "How about I sleep with you tonight."

Gao Wenyin was taken aback for a moment, then blushed and said coquettishly, "I don't want it."

There is drama!

Although Gao Wenyin said "no", Zhang Fei was overjoyed, because Gao Wenyin always seemed a little flustered when talking about such topics in the past, but she was not as shy as today.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the ambiguous atmosphere immediately disappeared without a trace.

Being able to push open Zhang Fei's bedroom door so directly, she knew it was Xu Zhiqian without even thinking about it.

"You'll be fine when you wake up." Xu Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Fei asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "Just now Mr. Su Xiao sent someone to inform you that he will go to Cai Zhifu to have a banquet later."

"So fast?"

Zhang Fei said: "Then where is the sense of ceremony in this post?"

He expects to live for two or three days.

Xu Zhiqian suddenly glanced at Gao Wenyin, "Sister Gao, why is your face so red?"

"Huh?"

Gao Wenyin seemed to be thinking about something, startled, "No! No!"

As he spoke, his face turned even redder.

Xu Zhiqian seemed to see something, and gave Zhang Fei two encouraging looks.

Zhang Fei's happiness is broken, with such a generous wife, what more can a husband ask for!

Xu Zhiqian saw that Gao Wenyin's cheeks were as red as the sun, but she couldn't bear to tease her, and said, "Sister Gao, help him fix it quickly, so don't be late."

She has a quick temper, so she can't stand Zhang Fei sitting in front of the bronze mirror longer than she is a woman.

"Yeah."

Gao Wenyin immediately combed Zhang Fei's hair neatly.

After breakfast, Zhang Fei was ready to go out. He originally wanted to ask Cao Dongdong to go with him, but he went to his Uncle Qin's house for a banquet early in the morning.

"Sanlang, be careful on the road."

Gao Wenyin stood in front of the door and said worriedly.

"Understood!" Zhang Fei said with a smile, "Ma'am, wait for me to come back."

Gao Wenyin immediately looked at Xiafei's cheeks again, and glanced at Xu Zhiqian next to her, but did not answer.

When they came to the gate of the city, Su Zhe was already waiting there. After picking up Su Zhe, they went to the government office together.

Entering the city, the look and feel of Hezhong Mansion and Bianjing is very different. Bianjing is full of scholar-bureaucrats and foreign relatives. From time to time, you can see five carriages with wheels that may be higher than your head.

Merchants carrying burdens can be seen everywhere in this Hezhong Mansion. There are row upon row of hotels and refreshments on the street, and the commercial atmosphere in the market is very strong.

You must know that before coming here, almost everyone told Zhang Fei that this is Longtan and Tiger's Cave. Although everyone pointed to different things, Zhang Fei was a little surprised by the contrast.

"Hezhong Mansion is not as chaotic as imagined, it is relatively prosperous."

"But none of this came easily!"

"How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei turned around, looked at Su Zhe and asked.

Su Zhe said: "Do you still remember the lawsuit you fought against private salt?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Of course I remember."

Su Zhe said again: "Then do you still remember the reason for the lack of salt in Xuzhou?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's because of the disturbance in Yanhu, Jiezhou."

Su Zhe nodded and said: "At that time, the entire Hezhong Mansion was in great chaos because of this incident. The prefect Cai was ordered in a crisis, but it only took one year to manage the Hezhong Mansion."

Zhang Fei frowned: "This is not a good thing for us!"

Su Zhe nodded with a smile and said, "I know some people here. They are all people of insight, but they don't want to change the status quo. After all, this stability is hard-won."

Speaking of this, he suddenly changed the subject, and said again: "However, the prefect Cai did not fundamentally improve the problems of the Hezhong Mansion. Turn one eye, close one eye, and try to give businessmen as much convenience as possible.”

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It seems that we still have a place to use."

Su Zhe said with a wry smile: "I want to do what Cai Zhifu can't do. It's not easy. If I'm not careful, I may still make Cai Zhifu's previous efforts go to waste."

Before the public security law, he still very much agreed with the policies implemented by Cai Yanqing.

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "This is also an opportunity. If the prefect Cai can do it, then how can we get promoted based on this."

.......

After walking for half an hour, the two came to the government office.

But I saw a middle-aged man in a gray robe standing in front of the door.

This person is Cai Yanqing. After all, he was born in a prime minister's family, and his temperament is still very good.

"Zhang San (Su Zhe) met Cai Zhifu."

Zhang Fei and Su Zhe stepped forward quickly and bowed their hands together.

Cai Yanqing is a fourth-rank official, while Zhang Fei, the chief judge, is designated as a sixth-rank official, which is the same rank as Tongpan.

But based on the law of the ancestors, the level of the rank cannot explain the problem, it depends on the power.

Cai Yanqing can't shut down Zhang Fei, the chief judge.

"Courteous, polite"

Cai Yanqing bowed his hands and returned a salute, and said: "Chairman Zhang's prestige is like a thunderbolt, and seeing him today, his reputation is really well-deserved. In Song Dynasty, there are up-and-coming stars like Chief Judge Zhang and Chief Prosecutor Su, so why not worry about it?"

"How dare you! How dare you!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Prefect Cai is too famous, and the younger generation will need more advice from Prefect Cai."

After exchanging pleasantries, Cai Yanqing invited the two of them into the hall.

After the tea was served, Cai Yanqing first asked: "I heard that Judge Zhang was assassinated while passing through Pinglu County?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Cai Yanqing asked again: "Have you found clues?"

Zhang Fei said: "Thank you, Prefect Cai, for your concern. I haven't found anything yet."

Cai Yanqing sighed: "In any case, this matter happened in my Hezhong Mansion, and Cai can hardly escape the blame."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "This has nothing to do with Cai Zhifu, it is because Zhang San has too many enemies, and this is not the first time I have been attacked."

Cai Yanqing was surprised: "Really?"

But when I think of Zhang Fei's stories, it seems that this is all reasonable.

Su Zhe said: "Perhaps some people also want to use this to provoke the relationship between President Zhang and Cai Zhifu."

Zhang Fei repeatedly nodded and said: "Prosecutor Su is right."

The two sides have to discuss this matter clearly, otherwise, who knows what the other party thinks.

"The two are generous, which makes Cai feel even more guilty." Cai Yanqing sighed, and said: "Actually, Cai should immediately send someone to investigate the matter and find out the truth. Fierce, but... But now this matter should be investigated by the Public Prosecutor's Law, so after thinking about it, Cai thought why not let Chief Judge Zhang investigate it himself."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "It may not be enough for the time being, the police station still needs to recruit people, and this has to be done gradually, not in a hurry."

Cai Yanqing nodded, and said again: "Then I don't know how our government will cooperate with you. Cai heard that the matter of collecting taxes in Kaifeng government is also subject to the public prosecutor's law."

"No."

Zhang Fei said: "Prefect Cai has misunderstood. The matter of collecting taxes in Kaifeng Prefecture is under the control of the tax department, not our public security bureau. But the current imperial court has no plans to establish a tax department in Hezhong Prefecture. We only focus on the judiciary. , or managed by the government office.

As for the judiciary, our imperial court and the procuratorate are almost ready. Now we are waiting for the police station to recruit people. At that time, we need Zhifu Cai to transfer the relevant files to our imperial court. "

In fact, the tax department has already arrived, but it has not been announced. The routine is still the same, and evidence must be collected secretly.

In addition, as long as the judicial files are transferred to the imperial court, it means that the judicial power is also transferred.

Cai Yanqing hurriedly said: "About the dossier, Mrs. Cai has already prepared everything, and I can send it to Judge Zhang today."

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, "If it doesn't take two more days, the imperial court over there will have to undergo some renovations."

Cai Yanqing nodded and said: "Okay! When Chief Judge Zhang needs it, send someone to come over and tell me, and I will send someone over immediately."

Su Zhe on the side sighed secretly.

Cai Yanqing was in a hurry to transfer the files over, apparently because he didn't want to get too involved with them.

This time, an old servant came to the door and said, "My lord, the banquet is ready."

Cai Yanqing tilted his head to look at Zhang Fei, and said with a smile, "I heard that Judge Zhang created his own science called the Law of Legal System. I wonder if Cai will have the honor to ask for it."

Zhang Fei clasped his hands and said, "How dare you! How dare you! Let Zhifu Cai laugh."

Cai Yanqing said: "Then let's drink and chat, please!"

"Please."

During the banquet, Cai Yanqing never mentioned political affairs, only talked about knowledge, the atmosphere was harmonious, but also very dull.

In the afternoon, Zhang Fei and Su Zhe bid farewell to Cai Yanqing, got into the carriage, and left the government office.

"What do you think, Mr. Su Xiao?"

Zhang Fei asked.

Su Zhe said: "As I imagined, the prefect of Cai will not make things difficult for us, but he will not provide us with much help. After all, he needs the assistance of various forces to manage the Hezhong Mansion well."

This must be something that offends people, and Cai Yanqing's main job is not a case review, but finance, and even military administration. His work needs the help of others, so it is reasonable to keep a distance from Zhang Fei and the others.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It seems that we can only rely on ourselves."

Just at this time, someone shouted outside: "Root! Rob!"

The two of them immediately lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, only to see a man shouting and chasing towards an alley.

A passerby next to him said: "What's going on these two days, I didn't see robbery once in half a month before, but today I saw twice in one day, and this morning I heard that someone's home was burglarized last night." /

Humanity beside him said: "I heard that those government servants have no intention of catching thieves recently, so that there are more thieves."

"Why?"

"Didn't you hear that the imperial court sent some royal police to replace these yamen servants, and they will soon have no work to do, so do you have to work hard?"

"Royal Police... Just hearing this name makes people uneasy!"

"Keep your voice down, if people listen to you, it will be terrible."

......

Drop the window shades.

Su Zhe said to Zhang Fei: "When I came here before, this didn't happen."

"It seems that they just regard me as an enemy!"

Zhang Fei smiled wryly, and knew in his heart that those people in the capital must have only mentioned him in their letters. In fact, this is also the case. He is the core of the entire public security system.

Su Zhe comforted: "That's not necessarily true. If I came, the law and order in Hezhong Mansion would have been very chaotic. Don't you want to tell everyone that the government's decision-making is very wise? Wait until you come , and the rebirth of the turmoil, the responsibility can be shifted to the public prosecutor's law."

Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "In any case, we don't have much time left."

Su Zhe said: "But Cao Yanei didn't bring the royal police with him, so he has to recruit people. I'm afraid he will still be subject to them for a while."

Zhang Fei asked: "Are you sure you can find any evidence about the incident in Gui Township?"

Su Zhe said: "Actually, I have found a key witness, but this witness is not here at present, and it may take two or three days."

With his temperament, if he is not sure, he will not take the initiative to bring it up.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "You have to hurry up, I want to use this to make the imperial court operate, we must make some noise, give those people some shock, and at the same time eliminate the common people's misunderstanding of us, maybe the trial After this incident, General Zhong and the others will arrive here as soon as possible."

Su Zhe hurriedly asked: "It seems that you are sure to hear this case well."

Zhang Fei smiled confidently: "This is my job. If this is not handled well, it may not be long before we have to pack up and leave."

After Su Zhe heard this, he couldn't help but look forward to it, "Well, I'll try to find the evidence as soon as possible."
