Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 548: The first battle of the three redundancies (1)

Actually, there is a hidden dispute in this case, that is, the usury loan borrowed by Chen Guang's wife, but because the Legal Aid Department is seeking to transfer all the debts of Chen Guang's family to the government, it did not emphasize this issue.

Now that the government wants to pursue this issue, Zhang Fei is of course willing to be the middleman.

This was all planned by him a long time ago, otherwise, Yuan Jiang would not have thought so carefully. Sooner or later, the Public Security Bureau will face usurious loans. Why not take this case as an example.

When the rich man Wu Tianfu came to the imperial court, he really felt like he was mourning for his concubine. He was also there that day, and when he learned that the debt was going to be transferred to the transshipment department, he was so depressed that he didn't fall asleep for several days.

Originally he was a strong party, but now he has become a weak party.

A pair of small eyes sometimes glance at Zhang Fei, and sometimes at Li Yongji, the resentful eyes, coupled with the sloppy face, I really feel pity for it!

Afraid that he would laugh out loud, Zhang Fei quickly picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at Wu Tianfu, and asked in a gentle tone: "Mr. Wu, I just asked you to come to the Transit Department for negotiation today. What do you think, you can say it directly, don't worry."

Wu Tianfu is actually more afraid of Zhang Fei, because Li Yongji is also a prison officer. Seeing what Zhang Fei said, he said: "My contract is not illegal, and the people from the Legal Aid Department are simply talking nonsense. More than ten times, there is nothing at all."

Speaking, he took out several contracts and handed them to Zhang Fei, "Mr. Zhang, please have a look. If there is nothing on it, just ask for money. At that time, the Chen Hu family came to my house to borrow food, and they agreed to exchange it for salt and cloth." , tea, I really don’t know where to start with the eighty ones.”

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, the highest annual interest rate cannot exceed 60%, and at most it cannot exceed double. "The routine.

Chen Guang's wife borrowed grain, but agreed to exchange it for cloth, salt, and tea. The interest was calculated on the basis of catties and horse feet. The ordinary people couldn't figure out how much interest they had paid. , it’s right that it’s not clear.

Zhang Fei took over the contract, and instead of rushing to look at it, he looked at Li Yongji.

Li Yongji said: "Mr. Zhang, you don't know that the imperial court expressly stipulates that those who use millet and wheat to return them to millet and wheat will be subject to private contracts, and the officials will ignore them."

Wu Tianfu said: "Chen Hushi came to me for the first time to borrow grain, and the agreement was to pay back the grain, but later she asked for cloth to pay back the interest. She said that the imperial court only gave him cloth, and I agreed to see her pity. After that, it was agreed to return it with cloth, salt and tea.

This is Chen Hu's own request, and I can't help it. I also want food, but she can't get it. The government also handled such cases before, and it was allowed. "

These landlords are very powerful when it comes to borrowing money, and they are all-inclusive.

After carefully reading the first and second contracts, Zhang Fei handed them to Li Yongji.

Li Yongji glanced at it hastily, and then asked Zhang Fei: "Does President Zhang think this is reasonable?"

It's not that he wants to pay, but the transshipment department. If your imperial court stipulates such a compensation, the transshipment department will definitely pay for it.

Zhang Fei said: "Now my opinion is not important, and one party is the transshipment department, and it is inconvenient for me to express any opinions during private discussions. The key is whether the two of you can reach a settlement, so whether Li Yasi thinks this is reasonable or not More important?"

Li Yongji said: "Of course I think it is very unreasonable."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Is Li Yasi willing to accept it?"

Li Yongji said decisively: "I definitely don't want to."

Zhang Fei said: "Since you both insist on your opinions and are unwilling to reconcile, then it is better to hold a trial of this case."

Li Yongji said: "Okay!"

At the door, Wu Tianfu was a little apprehensive. He could imagine what the situation would be under the watchful eyes of everyone. His reputation would be bad. The main opponent was the Transshipment Department. If he got the entire Transshipment Department, would he have a good life? In the future Do you still want to evade taxes? Immediately, his expression changed, and he said with a smile: "Well, that's not the case. Since the transfer department takes on these debts, it's easy to say, easy to say. I wonder how much Li Yasi is willing to pay?"

Li Yongji said: "With the capital and profit, thirty guan or thirty stones of grain, no more."

Wu Tianfu suddenly felt a pain in the flesh, and this time he lost more than 50 strokes, but he could only admit it. After all, he also knew that he and Li Yongji were actually on the same side, nodded and said: "Okay! Thirty It’s only thirty guan, but I want money, not food.”

He is shrewd, if he wants food, God knows what food the government will give him.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "That's it."

The three parties immediately signed a settlement agreement.

After seeing them off, Zhang Fei came to the front hall. As soon as he got to the door, he heard a choked up voice, "Thank you officer, thank you officer for making decisions for us, me!"

Immediately stopped and turned my head to look inside, but saw that Chen Guang and his wife were about to kneel down to Su Zhe, but Su Zhe hurriedly stopped them.

"Hey, hey! What are you doing? I've said it all. You deserve it. You don't need to thank me. Go back with the money and the land deed, and live a good life."

It can be seen that Su Zhe's expression is a bit complicated.

For this case, he will have to pay a heavy price!

After Chen Guang and his wife had left, Zhang Fei came out and said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect your side to be slower than mine."

Su Zhe smiled wryly and said, "The couple are illiterate, so I have to explain everything to them."

After a pause, he said again: "You are done talking."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I struggled for a while. The Transshipment Department proposed 30 rounds. Originally, Wu Tianfu didn't agree to it. He demanded to pay back the full amount. The Transshipment Department definitely refused. Therefore, I suggested that they go to court. In the end Wu Tianfu still agreed."

Su Zhe frowned slightly and said, "This is clearly usury, Wu Tianfu still dares to argue?"

Zhang Fei said: "It is really complicated to pay the grain and millet at the beginning of the agreement, and the payment of cloth at the beginning of the agreement. Chen Hu's debt is composed of tea, salt, and cloth. At this moment, I For a long time, I couldn't figure out how much the interest was."

Su Zhe asked: "If you go to court, how will you judge?"

Zhang Fei smiled and asked, "How would you fight?"

Su Zhe pondered for a while, and said: "The court's conversion standard has been determined in the last lawsuit, so the same standard can be used for calculation."

"If you play like this, you have a good chance of winning."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Because I also plan to use this lawsuit to issue a currency-centered conversion law, which is specially used for lending."

Su Zhe glanced sideways and asked, "Is this what you planned for a long time ago?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I always want to get some benefits!"

Su Zhe smiled and said, "If you want to take advantage of this, I have no objection."

Using this lawsuit as a precedent is absolutely perfect, because one party is the government, and the government leads by example, which is more convincing!

Zhang Fei suddenly raised his head and looked outside, "There seem to be quite a few people outside."

Su Zhe said with a headache: "They are here to see if Chen Guang can get the full amount of compensation."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Your procuratorate will be busy next time, do you want me to ask Cai Jing and the others to help?"

Su Zhe said: "Don't ask for it for now, I have already talked with the Legal Aid Department, and they will come to help me."

"That's it."

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "I wish Mr. Su Xiao good luck."

Su Zhe cupped his hands in return and said, "I hope that President Zhang will not be involved."

Zhang Fei smiled wryly: "I hope!"

The previous lawsuit was just the fuse, and the real battle had just begun.

When Su Zhe returned to the procuratorate, he found that the gate could not be entered.

The gate of the entire government office was crowded by a group of men, and Chen Qi's helpless shout could be faintly heard inside, "Don't squeeze in, come one by one, come one by one, don't squeeze, hear No."

My God! Come so fast. Su Zhe was dizzy.

The soldiers saw that Chen Guang could get such compensation, and the key was that he didn't have to repay the debt, that's it!

Right away!

Immediately!

Change before it is too late.

When Su Zhe saw this scene, at least there were hundreds of people, but they didn't dare to show their faces, so they ran to the police station and called in more than 50 auxiliary police officers to maintain law and order.

With great difficulty, the law and order of the procuratorate was maintained.

Su Zhe just appeared in front of the hall, according to the evidence, our procuratorate will definitely seek justice for you.

You line up first, come one by one, tell the prosecutor your grievances, and your home address, then our procuratorate will evaluate, if the evidence is convincing, we will file a lawsuit with the imperial court, understand? ? "

"Understood."

Called in unison, shaking the roof.

Morale is quite high.

Su Zhe couldn't help wiping off his cold sweat, and nodded slightly, "Just understand."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the hall a little tiredly.

Chen Qi hurriedly followed, and sighed: "This time we really poked a hornet's nest."

Su Zhe looked up at the roof, "If this hornet's nest grows on the roof of your own house, you have to poke it if you don't want to!"

Government.

"Accepted! Accepted!"

He Chunlin excitedly ran into the hall, "The procuratorate picked it up."

Wei Yingfang was pleasantly surprised: "Have you answered all of them?"

He Chunlin said: "Anyway, as long as there is enough evidence, the procuratorate will definitely seek justice for them."

Cao Yi frowned and said, "Do those soldiers have any evidence?"

Wei Yingfang said with a smile: "As long as the military battalion cooperates with those soldiers, there will be no lack of evidence."

Cao Yi's eyes brightened and said: "That's right! The evidence is all in the barracks."

He Chunlin asked: "Will the military camp be willing to cooperate?"

Wei Yingfang laughed and said: "If this matter does not come to a conclusion, hmph, those generals also have a sword hanging over their heads."

Qin Mansion.

"Generals, I can't stop this."

Qin Zhongshou said: "The procuratorate's thorough investigation of military expenses has caused dissatisfaction among many generals. They are now encouraging soldiers to sue. If I don't do this, will the soldiers still obey me?"

Zhe Jizu frowned and said, "Are they all innocent?"

Qin Zhongshou said coyly: "No one is innocent, that's why they are huddling together to keep warm at this time. Now that this matter is so big, the imperial court dare not punish so many civil servants and generals at once. If there is no trouble today, one by one in the future If they investigate, they will have no way to recover. Now they all want to use this matter to curb the public prosecutor's law in one fell swoop.

They even have to provide those soldiers with evidence of arrears in the military treasury and deduction of military pay. All the generals should also know that the real reason for the deduction and arrears of military pay is still because of the lack of finances of the court. "

Zhe Jizu and Zhong Gu looked at Zhong Er, and then shook their heads helplessly.

This cannot be stopped.

Besides, if you stop, you might be sued, the loss outweighs the gain!

Chong Er sighed, and said: "You have to watch carefully, don't cause a mutiny."

Qin Zhongshou nodded again and again and said: "That's why I have to stand by them, so that I can tell them."
