Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 501: To make justice cheap

The personalities of Gao Wenyin and Xu Zhiqian are basically diametrically opposed. Fortunately, one is weak and the other is strong, so they can complement each other without conflict.

But there is one thing that the two women are very similar, that is, the biological clock is quite punctual.

No matter how many fierce battles last night, you must open your eyes on time in the morning.

At this time, the sky is still slightly bright.

Gao Wenyin, lying in Zhang Fei's arms, slowly opened her eyes, and secretly glanced up at Ailang who was still sleeping soundly, with two happy dimples raised at the corners of her mouth, she closed her eyes again for the first time , and gently rubbed it into Zhang Fei's arms.

After a while, she opened her eyes again, gently took off Zhang Fei's hand that was on her body, and when she was about to sit up, she suddenly held her in her arms again with one hand.

I heard Zhang Fei muttering again: "Sleep for a while."

Holding Gao Wenyin's beautiful and soft body is undoubtedly a very enjoyable thing, and it always makes people reluctant to get up.

Gao Wenyin took the initiative to hug Zhang Fei, raised her head slightly, and said softly, "But today I have to go to the garden to take care of those flowers."

There is actually a hint of coquettishness.

Zhang Fei was lightly pressed by the two big **** of cotton, and immediately crumbled. He couldn't resist Gao Wenyin's move at all, so he opened his eyes, "Then I'll go with you."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "No need, you are very tired these days, and last night...you should sleep a little longer."

Zhang Fei immediately opened his eyes, and said solemnly: "What happened last night? Hey...but you begged for mercy first, and I'm not tired at all."

I took a mandarin duck bath with Xu Zhiqian at noon yesterday, so I naturally had to accompany Gao Wenyin tonight.

Public opinion must be shared!

Gao Wenyin touched Xiafei's cheeks, and said angrily: "Don't be poor, just sleep a little longer, and I'll go to the garden to have a look."

"Without your bed, it is not worth remembering."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I'll go to the garden with you too."

Of course Gao Wenyin is willing, with joy in her eyes, she said angrily, "Then you don't get up yet."

"Come here! My husband will help you get dressed."

"Ah! What are you doing, aren't you wearing clothes, why are you...!"

"That's right, that's right, it's dressing, why did I think of undressing."

......

Accompanying Gao Wenyin around the garden, after spending a wonderful morning, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian went to the lobby to have a meeting with Cai Jing and others.

The two women, one outside and the other inside, are perfect complements for Zhang Fei, allowing him to concentrate on his career and not need to worry about trivial matters at all.

"Have you eaten all of them?"

Zhang Fei sat down and asked them.

Such a considerate and gentle teacher made Cai Jing and others stunned.

After a while, Cai Jing replied: "Thank you teacher for your concern, we have already eaten...eat."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Where did you eat?"

"Go...to eat in the city."

The four of them were very curious, why the teacher was so interested in this breakfast topic today.

Even Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Are you going to eat, or to show off?"

The four of them had awkward smiles on their faces at the same time.

"It's really impossible to hide anything from the teacher." Ye Zuqi scratched his forehead in embarrassment.

Zhang Fei hehe said: "Why are you ashamed, this is human nature, so what do the people think of it?"

The four cheered up immediately.

You speak, I speak.

In short, in short, there are words of praise for the imperial court and the chief judge everywhere.

After these two lawsuits, the common people have experienced the difference between the trial by the imperial court and the previous trial by the government.

Zhang Fei just smiled slightly at this, "It may not be long before the people will take the initiative to walk into our imperial court, hoping that we can help them uphold justice. Therefore, our imperial court must be built quickly, and this is our meeting today. theme. What are your thoughts on this?"

In fact, the Imperial Court has always been in a state of semi-opening, in a rudimentary state, and has not yet formed a complete body. If a large number of lawsuits suddenly appear, the Imperial Court will not be able to handle it at all. Zhang Fei has to quickly build the Imperial Court. stand up.

The four of them made eye contact first, and Shangguan said: "The students thought that the imperial court could be divided into large, medium and small to deal with eucalyptus of different sizes."

Cai Bian and Ye Zuqia also nodded.

Kaifeng Mansion is set up in this way. There are left and right halls, envoys, mansions, left and right military inspection courtyards, and left and right chambers.

Cai Jing rolled his eyes, and said: "I remember the teacher said in class that the reason why people dare not go to the government to sue is because the government only punishes and lacks protection. Students think that they can be classified by punishment. Penalties are classified into one category, and those that do not involve punishment are classified into one category.”

Zhang Fei immediately gave Cai Jing a look of approval, and said: "It seems that only Cai Jing is seriously studying and thinking seriously."

"...!"

The other three were suddenly embarrassed.

Zhang Fei said: "A person's energy is limited, and so is his talent. In addition, practice makes perfect, that is, experience. If, like Kaifeng Mansion, it is purely divided by size, then for the chief judge The requirements are extremely high, for example, a fight between two people and non-repayment of owed money are both small cases, but the nature is completely different.”

Speaking of this, he wanted to ask the four of them: "Can you deal with different types of eucalyptus? Or, do you think that these eucalyptus can be handled casually."

The four of them remained silent.

Although they are confident, they don't dare to be arrogant after all.

Zhang Fei continued: "It can be seen that dividing the imperial court by the nature of the case is a more professional arrangement, and professionalism will get twice the result with half the effort. The penalty mentioned by Cai Jing just now is very worthy of reference.

We can divide the imperial court into civil and criminal. One advantage of this division is that when the people enter the civil imperial court, they will not feel any fear, because they know that there is no punishment involved. If they are all mixed together, the common people will still feel fear. "

Several people nodded at the same time, and they all felt that such an arrangement could promote the construction of the legal system.

Zhang Fei continued: "In these two categories, we can further divide them by size, but we are currently short of manpower, so we can't divide them so finely, but we can also use different judges to divide them. Hear different types of cases, and try the cases that you are good at hearing. You are newcomers, don’t think about everything, first choose the regulations that you are most interested in and familiar with, and specialize in one.

Knowing everything but not being good at everything is not the kind of talent our imperial court needs, because one case may involve the lives of two or even more people, so you must find the right direction. "

The four nodded.

"Thank you teacher for your guidance, the students understand."

"Master book exception!"

Zhang Fei tilted his head to look at Xu Zhiqian, "The master does not need to be good at everything, but he must be good at everything."

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "Understood, President Zhang."

She is really not good at everything, but she can do everything.

Zhang Fei asked again: "Then here comes the question, regarding the case of General Zhong, do you think it is criminal or civil."

"Criminal."

The four spoke in unison.

Zhang Fei said: "According to the concept of the rule of law, it should be criminal, because it will definitely endanger the interests of the country and the monarch, not the interest relationship between the two."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject and said, "But this is different from ordinary murders. This case will directly involve the core interests of the monarch and the country. Any carelessness may cause serious damage to the country. This is the most important thing, so such cases must be tried more professionally, so a separate imperial court should be set up for this purpose, which can be named the Military Imperial Court, and it will specialize in hearing military-related cases.”

Shangguan Jun said: "However, the regulations on this aspect of the Song Dynasty are very simple. Generally speaking, it is decided by the officials and the Zhengshitang. I am afraid it will not be easy to hear."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I have read the regulations on military law. They are relatively general, but they are also relatively comprehensive. Basically, they are taken care of. We have the right to supplement the details.

Besides that, there are cases of official corruption, which must also be heard by a special imperial court, but this does not happen every day after all, and there is no need for a permanent one. In case of a case, it can be established temporarily. This can also save costs.

By the way, when it comes to cost, what do you think about how the imperial court should charge? "

Xu Zhiqian took the lead and said: "I think the lawsuits of the poor can be charged less, or even not, and the lawsuits of the rich can be charged more."

Cai Jing immediately said: "Mr. Cases, we can collect relevant fees from the fines imposed on the murderers.”

Zhang Fei looked at Shangguan Jun and Ye Zuqia again.

Both of them nodded in agreement.

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "What? You think you can make money with this?"

Cai Jing said awkwardly: "Students dare not, but it is reasonable to charge litigation fees. After all, we need to spend money to open a court, as long as the fees are reasonable."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "No matter how big or small, it's free."

Xu Zhiqian opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Fei.

When did Zhang Fei become more benevolent than himself.

Cai Jing and the others looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

Litigation fees have always been there. Kaifeng Mansion's litigation fees are very high, and there is no specific standard.

Zhang Fei said: "Everyone likes high-quality and cheap things, but if the judiciary becomes expensive, only a few people can afford it, and going to court is not about buying food, but selling it for thousands of catties, and getting a few cents. A few pennies, it’s better to be free, and there is no threshold for the common people to sue.”

Ye Zuqia immediately said: "But in this way, the common people may come to the imperial court to complain about everything, this... this is not appropriate."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Therefore, our royal court has to set up a special mediation court, and some disputes that do not meet the standards for trial will be handled by the mediation court to save costs.

You have to understand that for us, what we lack most are talents and experience, so dealing with a large number of cases is conducive to supplementing experience, cultivating talents, and more conducive to people getting used to solving problems through litigation. "

They are all in the growth stage. At this stage, they have to endure hardships. In fact, judges have no tricks, but experience, which is all free. At this stage, it is very conducive to the development of public security and law.

Cai Bian said: "But it will also create a financial burden."

Zhang Fei said: "A state capital with a fair judiciary will definitely have better finances than a state capital with a corrupt judicial system. The benefits we bring to the country are only invisible on the surface. In fact, the court will soon feel it and is willing Fund us."

Cai Bian nodded and said: "The teacher is right. The exemption tax is based on the income from judicial justice. Compared with the expenditure of the imperial court at that time, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said: "Exactly, if we can make everyone abide by the tax law, the imperial court will definitely not be stingy with us. But there is one thing, the imperial court's expenditure must also have detailed regulations. And it must be reasonable, and it must be able to promote the development of the judiciary, which is the most critical.

For example, there was no fee for witnesses to appear in court before, but this is not appropriate, because it will make witnesses unwilling to appear in court. Why should I delay my livelihood for other people’s affairs, so we must provide witnesses with Some food and accommodation expenses for carriage and horses. "

Everyone feels both excited and Alexander.

It is undoubtedly the most difficult thing to make people pay taxes fairly!

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Do you feel very stressed?"

The four nodded at the same time.

Zhang Fei said: "It's not a skill to let the people pay legal fees. It's a real skill to get the court to allocate funds willingly. Only then can it prove that the public prosecutor's law is absolutely correct."
