Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 510: The tip of the needle is against the wheat awn

As soon as Zhang Fei got up, the discussion outside the court exploded on the spot.

"From this point of view, the imperial court really wants to protect our people, so we don't have to be afraid anymore."

"After that, the government will ask us to pay more taxes, so we can sue the imperial court."

"It should be ok! We will pay as much as the law stipulates, and we will not pay any more."

"It's hard to tell. After all, I still haven't said when to pay for it. If it is delayed, it may not be done."

"Even if we really lose money, let's not learn. Whether it is the emperor's court or Chief Judge Zhang is more powerful. It is still uncertain at the moment. If Chief Judge Zhang is transferred, what should we do? Those people can't Take revenge on us."

"Yes, yes, the official left after working for a few years, but we have been living here. This is still unreliable!"

......

I was bitten by a snake this year, and I was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

What's more, they were bitten by snakes for ten years, which can be imagined.

Although the common people are excited, they are relatively stable. After all, in their view, Zhang Fei is also an official, and they have met good officials before. I can't take care of it.

"Brother Li, this... have we won or not?"

Duan Chaobei waited for a group of salt merchants, but he didn't care so much, so he ran to the corridor and asked Li Min.

Li Min said: "Of course I won, didn't you just listen to Judge Zhang's judgment?"

Duan Chaobei said: "I heard it, but there is no time to make up for it! We can't keep procrastinating, and we can't afford to procrastinate!"

Youdao means that nights are long and dreams are many. If the money is not in hand, I always feel uneasy, especially if the opposite party is the government.

Li Min smiled and said: "Don't worry, the imperial court's judgment is different from the previous government. It must give an answer as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed for too long."

While chatting, I saw officials walking towards the back hall angrily.

Li Min saw it, but was a little worried. If the imperial court couldn't hold on, there would be nothing to play here.

On the contrary, Duan Chaobei and the others were not worried, because they did this because of the secret support of many people. They used them to deal with the imperial court, and they only wanted money. The two sides were hostile on the surface. But in fact, each takes what he needs.

......

Actually, for these officials, it does not mean that they cannot be compensated, but this has to be an order from their superiors, or it must be decided by the officials, and it cannot be you who judge me to compensate.

This is a question of power.

In officialdom, this is the most sensitive.

Because the imperial court made it clear that public security, law and administration are not subordinate to each other.

But your judgment clearly prompts me to change the current decree.

Moreover, this is already the second time, and it is even more serious than the last time.

Really aggressive.

Yuan Jiang, Cai Yanqing, Wei Yingfang, Cao Yi and other officials immediately chased after them.

The back hall!

Yuan Jiang said angrily: "Presiding Judge Zhang, you are clearly acting arbitrarily and abusing your power. This is the power of someone Yuan, but now it has become, if I do well, it is your credit, if I don't , then I have violated the law, but it is really unreasonable."

Cai Yanqing saw Yuan Jiang acting so excessively, and thought, since you have already discussed it, then I have to say a few words. He also frowned and said: "I also think that your imperial court has done too much in this matter. You have taken the limelight, but it has robbed our official authority. Who will obey our government orders then, and how will we manage this Hezhong Mansion."

Wei Yingfang, Cao Yi and other officials couldn't help but feel secretly happy when they saw that the two bosses finally couldn't sit still.

Facing their filial piety, Zhang Fei remained expressionless and said firmly, "First of all, I didn't intend to make the government lose face, but someone came to sue and presented sufficient evidence. Accepted, but I have also discussed with Bachelor Yuan, can you two reconcile privately, it is Bachelor Yuan who refuses to agree, so what can I do?"

Cai Yanqing glanced at Yuan Jiang.

Yuan Jiang did not make a sound.

Zhang Fei looked at Yuan Jiang again, "Scholar Yuan said just now that if you do well, it is my credit. If it is sentenced, then I am guilty of dereliction of duty, my duty is to judge, and everyone performs their duties, so why abuse their power?"

[In view of the general environment, this site may be closed at any time, please move to the permanent source replacement app, huanyuanapp.org as soon as possible]

Speaking, he looked back at Cai Yanqing again, "Cai Zhifu said who would obey the government's decree, the government can also come to sue, if there are businessmen who renege on their debts, or occupy official land, official salt, the government can also come Sue, as long as the evidence is convincing, the imperial court will uphold justice for the government."

There was an imperceptible light in Cai Yanqing's eyes, and he thought, yes! In the future, we will also be able to use the imperial court to handle some difficult matters.

Wei Yingfang's heart skipped a beat, boy, you let us kill each other. Immediately said: "If our government still needs the imperial court to make decisions for us, hehe... In this way, the entire Hezhong Mansion will be your imperial court."

The two bosses above are tearing their faces apart, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I'm only referring to illegal matters, or financial disputes. Of course, our public security law has the final say. I don't know what Wei Tong judge thinks, who has the final say?"

Cai Yanqing said: "But you also have to consider the overall situation. Considering the financial difficulties, your arbitrary judgment will put the government in a dilemma."

Zhang Fei said: "I have considered it very well. First of all, I asked Bachelor Yuan in private, and Wei Tongju in court, but the answer I got was that there is no way to solve the problem of excessive salt money.

Secondly, you all said that excessive issuance of salt money will damage the salt law, and the damage is far greater than compensation to the salt merchants.

In the end, I checked several times whether you want to reform the salt law, and you said no, and I asked again, the difference between the old and new laws, anyone can say that the old laws are not applicable.

Tell me, how should I consider the overall situation? "

After these words, Cai Yanqing was speechless. In fact, he already knew that Zhang Fei asked so many questions in court just to silence them.

Yuan Jiang sneered: "This is military expenses, and the other is compensation. Why don't you do it to the end and teach us how to compensate?"

Zhang Fei said: "If I do this, then I will really abuse my power."

Yuan Jiang immediately said: "Then you are deliberately making things difficult for me."

Zhang Fei laughed angrily and said, "If Scholar Yuan thinks he is making things difficult for himself with a fair judgment, then I can only admit it. In addition, lying, plundering, reneging on debts, if such methods can improve finances , then I can do it myself, why should the imperial court send Bachelor Yuan to come.

The predicament that Fan Tixing faced at the beginning was much more difficult than it should be now, but Fan Tixing didn't use such indecent tactics. "

Yuan Jiang's face was a little uncomfortable, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "The imperial court has no regulations. The government must implement the judgment of the imperial court. If the official does not implement it, what can you do."

Zhang Fei said: "The officials didn't tell me that in our Song Dynasty, which official could not abide by the law."

"You..."

Yuan Jiang glared at him angrily, "Let's wait and see."

As he spoke, he shook his sleeves and left angrily.

Cai Yanqing, Wei Yingfang and other officials also left.

"This time is great!"

Cai Jing scratched his head and said with a headache, "We offended everyone."

Zhang Fei glanced at him, "Cai Jing, do you know what your boss likes to hear the most?"

Cai Jing was taken aback, then shook his head dully.

Zhang Fei said: "It's the kind of constructive words, and the most annoying thing is the kind of nonsense you just said. Tell me how we can maintain judicial justice without offending them."

Cai Jing hurriedly changed his words: "The students are only worried about the teacher."

"This is still like a sentence."

Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "Actually, I don't want to offend them, but I have done everything I can. It is they who have repeatedly made things difficult for us and have not taken us seriously. In this case, That's nothing to talk about, just do what you should do, don't worry too much."

"Yes. The students know."

Cai Bian and Shangguan both bowed their hands in bewilderment.

Cai Jing and Ye Zuqia, the two slickers, were full of worry.

......

Of course Zhang Fei and Yuan Jiang discussed this. Since Yuan Jiang wants to eat two meals, Zhang Fei must have a conflict with the government to create this condition for Yuan Jiang.

It's just that Zhang Fei is facing Sima Guang and Wang Anshi. Both of them are gentlemen, moral models, and they both care about the country.

Yuan Jiang faced not all gentlemen, but people like poisonous snakes and beasts. There was no way to reason with these people, and he could only use benefits, which could only be bright and dark.

Although this is different from Zhang Fei's plan, Zhang Fei believes that it has both advantages and disadvantages for him. Now he does not need to compromise and think too much, and can maintain judicial justice.

Yuan Jiang will not do too much.

......

When Yuan Jiang and other officials over there returned to the official office, their morale was really high. Everyone was united as one and desperately fought in front of Yuan Jiang and Cai Yanqing.

Dry it!

Damn it!

"Bachelor Yuan, let's ignore him at all, he can't do anything to us." He Chunlin said.

Liu Daxing said disdainfully: "We don't believe it, he can still arrest us all, just the people in the police station?"

Wei Yingfang said: "Don't forget that the common people and businessmen all support the imperial court. In terms of reason and law, we have no advantage in this matter. If you want me to tell you, we will compensate you as much as you want. , when the Northwest General will come to urge the military expenditure, then we will say that we have no money and let them go to the imperial court to ask for it."

Cai Yanqing glanced at him, frowned and said: "If we really want to bring in the Northwest Army, if something happens to the border, do you think any of us will be spared? Today, the Holy Majesty attaches great importance to the Northwest War."

Wei Yingfang squeezed out a smile, "Don't blame the prefect Cai, I was also dizzy with anger."

Guo Xiaofa said: "It's better to impeach Zhang San."

After hearing this, Yuan Jiang smiled wryly and said: "Guo Tixing doesn't know something. That kid did more stupid things than this when he was in the capital. The ministers who impeached him in the court can all be ranked from the Kaifeng mansion to the big name." to go to the government, but the final result is just to send him here. If you play impeachment, I am afraid it will be counterproductive. What if the government really orders to support him, what should we do? In addition, I think someone has already Write to the imperial court to impeach Zhang San."

He Chunlin anxiously said: "This will not work, and that will not work, should we still be bullied by the imperial court?"

Yuan Jiang frowned and said: "In terms of justice, we can't beat him. We have to make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. We can't act recklessly anymore, but no matter what, we must first withhold the royal court's funds and not give them Don’t give me any money.”

He Chunlin said: "What about the procuratorate and the police station?"

Yuan Jiang asked back: "Are you planning to offend them all? Su Zhe and Zhang San have fought several times in Kaifeng Mansion, and they are not together. On the contrary, Cao Yanei has a good relationship with him, but Cao The family is also a foreign relative, and they are quite powerful in the northwest, so don't implicate them."

Cai Yanqing suddenly said: "We can talk about this matter later, the key point is how to solve the salt money issue?"

Yuan Jiang looked at them, "Do you have a solution?"

No one said anything.

There is absolutely no other way than to lose money.

Yuan Jiang took a deep breath, "That kid is right. Relying on cheating and cheating is really not a skill. Even if this matter goes to the court, I will lose face. After all, this super hair Salt bills are indeed a problem, and the court has already known about it, and the officials appointed me this time to solve this problem."

Wei Yingfang said: "But this cannot be solved at all. There is only so much money. If compensation is required, other places must reduce expenditures, and how much salt money will be issued in the future? If hundreds of thousands of salt money are not issued every year, it will It’s not easy to make up for it!”

Cai Yanqing couldn't help looking at Yuan Jiang.

Yuan Jiang frowned and said: "This is our authority. If we can't solve it, it will only make Zhang San laugh at us for being incompetent. If we can solve it perfectly, it will also improve our morale and win the support of the people." Approved."
