Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 485: Wonderful combination

Seeing Cai Yanqing approaching, the discussion suddenly became quieter, but at the same time, many people immediately walked to Cai Yanqing's side, fanning the flames with all kinds of yin and yang.

Indeed, the biggest victim of this case must be Cai Yanqing.

Because he was the one who sentenced this case, and it was not long ago, if it was overturned, it would be overturned by the just-arriving public prosecutor's law.

This may really affect his future official career.

Cai Yanqing doesn't know that their careful thinking is nothing more than pushing himself forward to fight the public prosecutor's law, so he won't be fooled. In his heart, since the other party is using this case as an issue, even if If he wants to refute, he should also refute from this case. Therefore, he has to wait for the trial before making plans. He is also perfunctory and prevarication.

Let's have a look.

If it is really a misjudgment, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing.

After a while, everyone looked up at the sky again, what time is it, why hasn't it started yet.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a group of people enter the hall from the lower right door, a total of four people came to the middle of the courtyard and sat down at the long table on the right side, sorting out the papers in their hands.

It was Su Zhe and his assistant.

Another group of people entered the courtyard from the upper right door, and they were also four people. They came to the second seat directly above and sat down. It was Cai Jing and others.

"Is this about to start?"

The distinguished guests in the courtyard took their seats one after another, while the ordinary people standing in front of the door opened their eyes wide and looked forward to it.

"Is anyone else coming?"

Cai Yanqing suddenly saw a row of empty seats in front of the left.

Zhuo Qun shook his head.

The general judge Wei Yingfang said: "Someone asked about it just now, but they just answered that it is not a guest seat, and it is not known who will be seated there."

Cai Yanqing nodded slightly.

But after a while, the two groups of people who came in were still sorting out some papers, during which Su Zhe walked over and communicated with Cai Jing and the others for a while.

There were bursts of discussion outside and inside the court.

The observers outside the court were discussing the layout of the court, which was different from any lawsuit they had seen before, and no government office had such a layout.

How come the yamen are standing outside to maintain law and order, there is not even a yamen on the left and right.

Not at all imposing.

The court complained about why it hadn't started yet, whether Zhang Fei was putting on a show and making them wait here on purpose.

They guessed right!

That's it.

When Zhang Fei was an ear pen, he was used to appearing at the end of the stage. Now that he is the chief judge, he will only get worse.

Both Cai Jing and Su Zhe are used to this point.

Just wait.

At this time Zhang Fei was wearing a dark green official uniform, waving his big sleeves, and walked here slowly with his two wives, Li Si, Xiao Tao, and Qing Mei.

"Can you walk faster." Xu Zhiqian urged, frowning.

"Can't!"

Zhang Fei snorted, "I haven't slept well recently."

Xu Zhiqian saw that he was full of energy, his eyes were clear, and his complexion was ruddy, so he immediately rolled his eyes, "I'm really talking nonsense with my eyes open."

Zhang Fei lowered his eyebrows and looked: "Master Xu, please pay attention to your attitude towards the officer."

The call made by Master Xu made Xu Zhiqian jump for joy, and immediately said in a soft voice: "Chairman Zhang, walk slowly, don't fall."

Hearing her strange mood, Zhang Fei couldn't help but said again: "Also! If others don't know that you have gone so far, they will think you are the president of the court, and I am the chief judge."

Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips, but stopped immediately, and followed Momo Zhang Fei.

Li Si, Xiaotao, and Qingmei who walked at the back couldn't help laughing.

Gao Wenyin's face was full of uneasiness, and she whispered: "Sanlang, how about...or we won't go to see it."

Zhang Fei tilted his head and asked, "Why? Isn't Madam curious to see it?"

Gao Wenyin said: "Listening to the voice, it seems that there are many people coming. It's not good to be seen."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Madam, isn't this self-contradictory? There are so many people here, just to watch the trial. They can watch, but Madam can't watch. You will stand behind and watch later, and you won't pay attention. It's yours. Don't worry."

Gao Wenyin nodded.

She has never seen how Zhang Fei went to court. Hearing what Qingmei and Li Si talked about, she couldn't help but feel a little curious. Forced her to watch.

Do you want rain and dew evenly?

You can't just let Xu Zhiqian see your majesty.

When they came to the back door of the courtyard, they separated. Li Si and Xu Zhiqian followed Zhang Fei to the left, while Gao Wenyin, Qingmei, and Xiao Tao stood at the back door and secretly looked into the courtyard.

"There are so many people here!"

Gao Wenyin was slightly startled.

Qing Mei said: "When the third elder brother went to court in Kaifeng Mansion, there were no fewer people than this."

"Really?"

Gao Wenyin asked curiously: "What's so interesting about this lawsuit?"

Qing Mei said: "Third brother's lawsuit is very interesting, but this time third brother is not an ear pen, but the president of the court. I have never seen it before."

When he spoke, the courtyard suddenly became silent.

Looking sideways, I saw Zhang Fei, Xu Zhiqian, and Li Sirude entered the courtyard through the dedicated passage on the left, and came to the chief judge's platform in the center.

Cai Jing, Cai Bian, Shangguan Jun, and Ye Zuqia immediately stood up.

Su Zhe and his three assistants got up immediately.

But the VIPs on both sides did not move at all, and some of them were even standing VIPs, but they performed a reverse operation and sat down directly.

What are you?

Zhang Fei glanced at both sides, and suddenly said loudly: "The standing up at this time is just to show respect for the imperial court and the "Song Xingtong". Only officials in the world can not stand up."

Shameless!

The officials and doctors cursed secretly, but they could only stand up.

He said so, only officials can not stand up, if you are still sitting, what do you want to do.

"Sit down, everyone!"

Zhang Fei nodded slightly, then sat down.

The rest of the talents sat down one after another. Before the trial started, the VIP seats were full of anger.

It really makes no sense.

Qin Zhongshou asked Cao Dongdong in a low voice, "Donger, is this the imperial court's rule?"

Cao Dongdong blinked a few times, "I don't know, the imperial court in the capital seems to have no such rules."

Qin Zhongshou immediately said angrily: "That's what he made up."

Cao Dongdong arched his fire and said: "Maybe, Zhang San likes to make up nonsense. He tells lies as if they are the truth. Uncle Qin must be careful of him in the future."

A general on the side asked: "Yanei, aren't you on the same side as Zhang San?"

Cao Dongdong opened his eyes angrily and said: "Who made this rumor, our police station and the imperial court do not belong to each other, he is not my chief."

The people around looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking in their hearts, so they are not together, then...!

......

"Why is there another woman?"

A white-haired old man looked at Xu Zhiqian beside Zhang Fei and frowned.

Although Xu Zhiqian is dressed in a man's attire today, anyone can tell at a glance that this is a woman.

"I heard that the woman is the wife of President Zhang and also the head of the imperial court."

"It's unreasonable! How can this woman be an official in the imperial court."

There has been a female official system since ancient times, but 90% of them work in the palace, and women are not allowed to be officials in the outer dynasty.

"It seems that her master record has no rank, and she is self-employed by President Zhang."

"That's shameless too!"

The scholar-bureaucrat just scolded and didn't say much.

The prefect's master register is usually appointed by the imperial court, and there are ranks, ranging from ninth rank to sixth rank, but this imperial court is a new official office, and there is no regulation for the master register of the chief judge.

If you change a man, the court will definitely give you a rank, but Zhang Fei wants Xu Zhiqian, and officials can hire their own staff, and female officials are more common in the Song Dynasty.

Especially in many professional aspects, they are still the kind inherited from the family, but it is said that they rarely show up in public and appear on such solemn occasions.

But since there is no express prohibition, it is possible.

If it was in the capital, no one would be surprised. The husband and wife have always been inseparable, and the lawsuit has been fought from Kaifeng Mansion to Zhengshitang. Everyone is used to it.

Youdao means that experts watch the way, and laymen watch the excitement.

For the audience outside the court, what they see is pleasing to the eye. The five officials sitting on it are at most no more than twenty-five years old, and all of them have extraordinary appearances. Cai Jing is an outstanding figure in history. Needless to say, Zhang Fei is a famous handsome guy.

The only one who is awkward is Li Si, who is not good-looking, but flowers always have green leaves to set off.

"Winter Dongdong!"

Zhang Fei suddenly tapped a few times with a small wooden hammer, "Be quiet!"

He has tried gavels before, but he is not used to them. If he is not careful, he will hit his hands. If it is winter, it will be very sour, so he made this small wooden hammer, and it is easy to strike.

Cai Yanqing looked at the small wooden hammer, and was delighted, this thing works so well! But after thinking about it, I didn't seem to have a chance to knock on the gavel, and I couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Because it was the first time to come to this imperial court, everyone was still in awe, and immediately quieted down.

Zhang Fei suddenly raised his eyes to look at the inspectors outside the gate, it was dark, and asked: "Is it crowded outside?"

Cai Jing and the others couldn't help being taken aback, and looked up, even Su Zhe and other inspectors below looked back.

It's okay!

Ma Xiaoyi, who was standing by the side, said: "If you go back to the chief judge, there are quite a lot of people coming to watch the trial today, so it's a bit crowded."

Zhang Fei nodded, and suddenly pointed to the seat on the upper left side: "It happens that there is still a row of seats here, and this one is also empty. Let some people come in and take a look. Don't be so crowded to avoid accidents."

As soon as these words came out, the court was completely silent.

The people outside the door can’t believe it, and the distinguished guests inside the door can’t believe it even more, especially those officials sitting behind, what is empty is empty, I don’t sit there and watch, it’s because you don’t let it ah!

Know that there is an excellent seat to watch the trial.

Not to mention them, even Cai Jing and Su Zhe were puzzled. They were always curious about what those seats were reserved for. Just now, Su Zhe came forward to negotiate with them and asked this question question.

I never thought that it was prepared for the common people.

Ma Xiaoyi didn't think too much, and immediately stepped forward and let go of the wooden fence.

However, none of the people dared to go in.

Everyone is still full of fear for this government office. Whoever dares to sit in the government office for nothing will lose their skin if they don't die!

I saw a middle-aged lady standing behind and asked: "Can I go in and sit?"

Ma Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Ma'am, please."

The aunt was not afraid, she squeezed through the crowd and walked in.

Zhang Fei smiled and asked, "What's your surname?"

The aunt said: "My surname is Lu."

Zhang Fei asked again: "May I ask you one more question, what does the aunt do?"

The aunt saw that Zhang Fei was handsome and approachable, so she was not afraid, so she replied: "I sell tea on the street, and the neighbors call me Lu Chapo."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand to lead to the seat, "Please sit down, ma'am."

"Thank you, President! Thank you, President!"

The aunt happily went to sit down on the corridor.

"This woman dares to enter, why don't we dare."

Hearing a rough voice, I saw another big man asking to go in.

Zhang Fei asked a few more questions, his surname is Liu, he is a butcher.

There were also some bold audiences who asked to enter the court to watch the trial.

Village man, scholar, martial artist, anyway, almost all of the three religions and nine streams are present. Sitting together, it is really a strange combination, no matter how you look at it, it feels abrupt.

Su Zhe and Cai Jing kept making eye contact and asked each other, do you know why?

But even Xu Zhiqian looked confused.

The VIPs on the side and opposite had the idea of ​​getting up and leaving, let us sit with those people, our position is not as good as theirs, don't you mean to disgust us on purpose?
