Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 524: Civil and military and law (9)

It came out of the valley, and the gentlemen suddenly felt a surging heat wave. Some old people were dizzy. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly felt hungry, and his heart was full of greetings to Zhang Fei.

However, the most urgent task is not to punish villains and curse Zhang Fei, but to find a place to eat.

"Wei Tongpan, is there a resting place near here?"

"There doesn't seem to be any around here, I have to go back to the city!"

"Go back to the city?"

"Oh, that brat, it's really tormenting!"

"The old man doesn't believe it, he can't even provide a simple meal."

I heard that I have to go back to the city. My lord has all kinds of angina pectoris. At noon, under the scorching sun, if you take an extra step, it will be torture!

But just after leaving the gate, a scent suddenly hits the face.

It came so suddenly that Cai Yanqing and Wei Yingfang felt that they were hallucinating.

Looking for the fragrance, I saw a few very simple wooden sheds propped up by the small river in front of the door and under the big trees, and the fragrance came from under the wooden sheds.

"Isn't there something to eat here?"

"But when I came here in the morning, I didn't seem to have seen these wooden sheds yet!"

"All right, all you have to do is eat. The old man can't walk. Although this place is relatively close to the city, if you go back and forth, there is no time to rest."

"Yes, yes, let's eat a little here and take a rest inside later. It's still quite cool there."

A group of civil servants and generals flocked immediately.

But seeing that although the wooden sheds are simple, they are very spacious, and there are three or five guys under each shed, as if they were prepared for them.

Seeing them coming, the guys couldn't help but hurried up to greet them and beckon them to sit down.

Wei Yingfang was very curious about when this wooden shed was built, so he couldn't help asking the guy, "Who are you? Why do you dare to set up a stall here?"

The guy said in fear and trepidation: "The villain doesn't know."

Wei Yingfang frowned and said, "Call your stall owners over here."

"Yes."

After the guy left, Cai Yanqing asked, "Wei Tongpan, why are you so angry?"

Wei Yingfang replied: "Prefect Cai, I suspect that this stall belongs to Zhang Sanlong."

As soon as this remark came out, the gentlemen who had just sat down couldn't help but beard and stare when they heard this.

It's really murderous!

"What is the order of this high official?"

A moment later, I saw a man walking over.

Wei Yingfang asked: "Are you the stall owner?"

"Yes."

"Who allowed you to set up a stall here?"

"It's President Zhang."

"Why did President Zhang allow you to set up a stall here?"

"Uh."

"Speak quickly."

"Yes. It's because Judge Zhang owes the villain money, so he used this booth to pay off the debt."

Oops!

This is a shocking gossip!

All the officials pricked up their ears.

"Why does President Zhang owe you money?" Wei Yingfang also asked anxiously.

The man said: "Because President Zhang asked the villains to help him build this imperial court some time ago, and owed us some wages, so he gave us this booth."

"!"

All eyes turned to Wei Yingfang.

It turns out that what Zhang San said is true, you really don't give me a penny!

No wonder he treats us like this.

You are the culprit!

Wei Yingfang also showed embarrassment, coughed, waved his hands and said, "Go and do your work."

Cai Yanqing quickly walked a little farther away, thinking to himself, you are really obsessed, this is all in front of the door, can you still catch it.

The stall owner is none other than Big Dog.

On the surface, it is really a debt repayment, but in fact, it is for the big dog to stay here and provide him with information at any time.

Compared to the happy and harmonious civil and military in the morning, at this time, civil and military began to deliberately keep a distance. The camp is very clear, because they still have to discuss the morning trial in private.

Except Yuan Jiang and the others who were recently transferred from the capital, it was the first time for everyone else to see this kind of trial.

This is the biggest difference from before, which is the typical separation of politics and law.

Regarding this point, Zheng Xie and Xue Xiang are vividly reflected.

This confuses many people.

For the time being, they have no time to estimate which side Zhang Fei is leaning towards. They are more interested in discussing this interrogation system.

In fact, not to mention them, even Cai Bian and the other four assistant judges have many doubts about this.

But at this time, they are much more comfortable than these old men. They are sitting on the corridor next to the valley, enjoying the breeze of the valley, eating delicious food, and their faces are not tired. Vacation!

"Teacher, the student has a question and wants to ask the teacher."

Just after eating, Cai Bian couldn't wait to ask.

Zhang Fei said: "What's the problem?"

Cai Bian asked: "According to the trial in the morning, in any case, Deputy Minister Zhong has disobeyed the imperial edict one after another. Unless the teacher personally fights for him, otherwise, I am afraid that this crime cannot be escaped."

Shangguan Jun and the others also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Are you implying that I have a partial deputy?"

"Students dare not."

That being said, they all feel this way.

"Actually, you are right to feel this way." Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Because I am indeed partial."

"Huh?"

Including Xu Zhiqian, everyone looked at Zhang Fei in shock.

Zhang Fei leaned back slightly, and asked with a smile: "What do you think is the original sin of war?"

Cai Jingdao: "Failed."

"Good."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It is a failure. If the kind of action is not successful, then I must have another trial today."

Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "But you are the chief judge, shouldn't you deal with it fairly?"

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "What is the first point of the law?"

"Defend the interests of the country and the monarch." Ye Zuqia replied quickly.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "You have to remember that when it comes to the country and the monarch, you must put interests first. As long as the country and justice benefit, this is the most fair trial."

Xu Zhiqian was startled, as if she understood something.

Cai Bian nodded again and again, then thoughtfully said: "No wonder the teacher has always emphasized the interests of the country and the monarch in class, and the students have always been confused, but they can't say what it is. This is justice and interest."

Shangguan Jun also nodded slightly, "When the teacher mentioned the people, he always emphasized the legitimate rights and interests, but when it came to the country and the monarch, he didn't talk about the legitimate rights and interests, but only emphasized the pure interests and omitted There is the word "righteousness", so that's how it is."

Several people were suddenly enlightened. What they had learned in the class before flooded into their minds. They all thought that the teacher's legal system is really broad and profound.

They also agree with this.

They also have a tangled point in this case, that is, they think that they should not be guilty of recovering Suizhou, but they still remind themselves all the time to deal with it fairly.

What Zhang Fei said made them feel much more relaxed.

Cai Jing asked: "According to the teacher's intention, are you going to acquit Deputy Zhong?"

Zhang Fei's expression changed, and he said: "Of course not, I just said that his victory will win me a little in favor of him during the trial, but whether he is guilty or not depends on his behavior, whether he is right or not. The interests of the country and the monarch, and that is what this trial is all about.”

Cai Bian wondered: "The recovery of Suizhou by the deputy envoy is naturally beneficial to the country and the monarch."

Zhang Fei said unhappily, "Are you at the hearing?"

Cai Bian said with trepidation: "The students have always been very focused."

"Then you are just listening instead of using your brain."

Zhang Fei shook his head, and said again: "During the trial in the morning, I was most concerned about three issues, first, the decision of the imperial court; second, the state of the two countries at that time; strategic position.”

Several people nodded at the same time, but their eyes were full of doubts.

Indeed!

Except for Lu Shen and Zhong Er's explanation of the process, the rest of the trial was conducted around these three issues.

But they also wondered what these three questions could explain.

Zhang Fei continued to explain: "First of all, the decision of the imperial court is the most critical. If you encounter such cases in the future, you must first confirm this point.

Because it is absolutely impossible to let the generals decide whether to fight or not. It must be decided by the court. But what the country needs to consider is finances, people's livelihood, and the overall situation, not a certain battlefield or a certain enemy.

If the imperial court had rejected the entire task of inducing surrender from the very beginning, there would be no need for a trial of the case, and no matter how big the victory was, it would not be allowed, because it would definitely harm the interests of the monarch, and it might also harm the interests of the country.

But at present, this point is not clear, so it is necessary to introduce the second point, that is, the state of the two countries at that time. This is a relatively objective evidence, because it is difficult to conceal this point Just now, no matter whether it is civil or military, it is believed that there is neither war nor peace. If the two countries are in a state of peace, they must have an absolutely clear decision from the court before they can send troops.

But at present, this is not clear.

As for the strategic position of Suizhou, the main consideration is the interests of this battle. The greater the interests of the country, the final judgment will inevitably be affected. And this is also judging from the side, what is the behavior of this deputy envoy? It is human nature for generals to desire meritorious service, but being greedy for merit obviously means disregarding the overall situation.

Whether Deputy Ambassador Zhong dispatched troops this time, whether he puts meritorious service first or national interests first, this is what we have to verify, and this is also this afternoon, it mainly involves issues. "

After this explanation, Cai Bian and others couldn't help but fell into contemplation. The seemingly scattered interrogation in the morning began to come together in their minds, and their thinking suddenly became extremely clear.

"The students are taught, thank you teacher."

The four excitedly bowed their hands to Zhang Fei.

The heart is surging, because before this, they have no clue about this kind of case, and they don't know how to try it.

I don't know how to judge right and wrong, and what are the key factors in the judgment.

Before they only looked at the case from the perspective of justice, but they always felt that something was wrong.

Now, they understand how to think about this type of case and what key factors should be taken into consideration.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Although you understand the concept of the law of the rule of law, you still don't know how to integrate the concept of the law of the rule of law into specific cases. .”
