Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 625: Seize the power in the answer
Su Zhe pretended to sort out the copywriting, and asked in a low voice: "You arranged that scholar just now?"
Because the last injunction lawsuit did not solve the issue of the patriarchal clan, but Su Zhe also felt that there was indeed a contradiction between the patriarchal clan and the public prosecutor's law, so he had some doubts about it.
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Of course not, Mr. Su Xiao is too underestimating the understanding of today's scholars on the law. After all, I have taken so many zakats."
Su Zhe just smiled slightly, noncommittal, he has no time to worry about this right now.
You must know that Su Zhe didn't know how to deal with this kind of question-and-answer meeting at the beginning, and he didn't dare to answer it on the spot, because what you say here has legal effect. This is not a debate competition. These questions are all legally aided The department received it early in the morning, and they have also conducted research.
But in public, in front of so many people, explaining one's theory is really different from going to court, which is why Su Zhe asked to open with Zhang Fei, he had to learn first.
However, with Zhang Fei as proof, a genius like Su Zhe naturally learned quickly, so he said directly: "Everyone's concern about the procuratorate lies in the power and procuratorial system of the procuratorate."
Speaking of this, he paused for a while, "In fact, the procuratorate, like the imperial court, is based on the legal system proposed by Judge Zhang, so the main purpose of the procuratorate is to defend the rights and interests of the country, the monarch, and the people."
Talking to the outside world, this banner must be clear, and nothing can be said based on fairness and justice, because it would be unfair for the emperor to sit on it.
It can be seen that the law of the legal system provides a very important theoretical basis for the public security law. Without this theory, many explanations are difficult to express, and many affairs cannot be carried out.
But with this reason, no one dares to refute.
Su Zhe went on to say: "So the power of the procuratorate is to be able to investigate all matters involving the interests of these three parties. If someone thinks that the procuratorate can conduct prosecutions on all matters, Su believes that this is also reasonable. Yes, because all affairs will involve the rights and interests of these three parties.
However, our procuratorate only has the power to investigate, collect evidence, verify evidence, and prosecute, but not to judge. Our procuratorate investigates any matter, but it does not mean that the other party is guilty. Even if our procuratorate finds the other party guilty, it does not mean that the other party is guilty. Whether he is guilty or not depends on the judgment of the imperial court.
So I hope that everyone can clearly understand what the authority of our procuratorate is. We are not investigating guilt, but investigating the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people, so as to avoid harming the interests of these three. Investigating an event or a person is just a matter of routine and does not mean whether it is illegal or not. "
Many people nodded thoughtfully.
This is really something they didn't expect. They think that the procuratorate will definitely investigate the guilty one.
At this time, they realized that the procuratorate's investigation was not based on guilt, but also based on the concept of the rule of law. As long as the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people were involved, they could conduct investigations.
This is not a good thing!
This undoubtedly further expanded the power of the procuratorate.
It's horrible!
Su Zhe is very talented, so naturally he doesn't need to read the manuscript from time to time, he has already familiarized it by heart. Let’s take an example of investigating the cooperation between Xiekupu.
Because many of your questions are also aimed at this matter. I have to explain clearly that the Department of Elevation Changping has the right to cooperate with anyone, and our procuratorate cannot intervene. "
"You have come to investigate, but you can't intervene." An official asked immediately.
"I'm about to explain."
Su Zhe nodded slightly, and then explained: "Our procuratorate is only in charge of the prosecution. Whether there is corruption and bribery in this cooperation, and whether it will harm the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people, we will target the officials involved in this matter." , merchants to inquire about the content of the signed contract, and then according to their answers, we will send the accountant to do calculations to see if it is as they said, but as Su just said, this is just a routine, to ensure There will be no corruption, bribery, or perversion of the law, and we will not investigate because we have any evidence. Even if the government cooperates with the Xu family, the Liu family, and the Li family, our procuratorate will still conduct investigations.”
What the hell?
Without evidence, you can still investigate?
The official immediately asked: "Then who will supervise your procuratorate?"
Su Zhe replied: "The imperial court, the police station, including the government office, and anyone."
"Really? How do we supervise your procuratorate?"
Another official asked.
Just now when Zhang Fei answered the question, it was the common people who were asking, but when it was the procuratorate's turn, it was the officials who were asking. It can be seen that the officials are still more concerned about the procuratorate. After all, the imperial court is relatively passive, while the procuratorate is proactive. greater threat.
"If any prosecutors, including me, the Chief Prosecutor, commit any illegal acts, you can sue the royal court or report to the police station. As long as there is evidence, the police station can arrest anyone in the procuratorate. people."
Cao Dongdong, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly had a look of embarrassment. Now you know how much power my police station has.
"But who can guarantee that you, the public security bureau, the police, and the law will not collude."
One question is more fishy than the other, and the common people are dumbfounded. Can you still ask such a question? Whoops! It was only then that President Zhang was easily let go.
Careless!
Zhang Fei seemed to have noticed that there were unfriendly eyes in the crowd, so he quickly drank a sip of tea, suppressing his shock.
Su Zhegu replied calmly: "As far as I know, if someone wants to report to the public prosecutor at the same time, they can only go to the Imperial Court of the capital, Dali Temple, and Kaifeng Mansion to file a lawsuit. However, the system of our public security law It is very transparent, everything you do is aboveboard, and you have nothing to say to others. With the current investigation, trial and sentencing systems of the Public Procuratorate, it should be very difficult to collude."
The people nodded straight when they heard it, and they agreed with it very much.
What happened now is what Su Zhe said.
This is a person who suddenly asked: "Chief Prosecutor Su, I don't know how you investigated the salt debt and salt money issued by the government."
Zhang Fei looked around and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman, thinking, this guy must be a qualified businessman.
Su Zhe said: "Our procuratorate has no right to interfere with the amount of salt bonds and salt banknotes issued by the government. It is up to the government to decide, because our procuratorate does not know the financial situation, but our procuratorate will follow the amount stipulated by the government. Conduct surprise inspections to ensure that the printed salt bonds and salt banknotes will not exceed the amount stipulated by the government.”
"That is to say, the procuratorate can't control the excessive issuance of salt money and salt debt by the government."
"Yes."
Su Zhe nodded and said: "But if you think that the government is sending out spam, you don't have to buy it."
"But how do we know how much salt money the government will issue?"
"The government has a specific system for the issuance of salt bonds and salt banknotes. It cannot be decided by a certain official. It needs to be approved by official documents. This is why our procuratorate cannot intervene. You will know how much the government will issue, and then you will check against the regulations on the official document. Here, I strongly suggest that the government announce the specific amount.”
Zhang Fei suddenly interrupted Su Zhe's speech, "I don't recommend Chief Prosecutor Su's suggestion. Our public security law cannot interfere with administration. The government has its own system and regulations on whether to announce it to the public."
Su Zhe was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "But if someone comes to ask our procuratorate about the results of the investigation, our procuratorate will tell you the truth."
He is not as coquettish as his brother, but he is relatively strong in his bones.
If the government doesn't announce it, then my procuratorate will.
The officials gritted their teeth with hatred.
Is this what forces them to publish?
Hearing this, the businessman was completely relieved.
An official said: "Could it be that your procuratorate can release the secrets of the government?"
Su Zhe said: "There is a special system for confidential copywriting, and it will be difficult for our procuratorate to know. But if this secret will hurt the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people, then our procuratorate will also Respond in a dedicated way and fulfill our mandate.”
The official wanted to fight again, but the officials next to him hurriedly stopped him, so don't ask, the more you ask, the more power they have.
The interests of the country, the monarch, and the people are simply a bug.
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was a bit strong, Zhang Fei waited for a while and said, "Next, Superintendent Cao will answer the questions for everyone."
Finally it's my turn, but it's a pity that Xiao Ma is not here, so I can't see my brother's good side.
Cao Dongdong hurriedly sat upright, putting on a very serious look.
Zhang Fei almost didn't laugh, and quickly scratched his forehead to cover up the sneaky smile from the corner of his mouth.
"Cough cough cough!"
Cao Dongdong took a hard look at the copywriting, and said: "What everyone cares most about our Royal Police is the authority of our Royal Police. The explanation of this superintendent is that if you have any difficulties, you can find the Royal Police."
Before he finished speaking, someone asked excitedly: "Can you call the Royal Police for any difficulty?"
"Do you understand the rules? You can ask after the superintendent has finished speaking."
Cao Dongdong immediately gave the man a hard look. He has little experience and a long way to cast spells, but you still interrupt him to keep him alive?
"Sorry!"
The man said embarrassingly.
Su Che frowned slightly, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Fei, but seeing that his expression was normal, he didn't say anything.
Compared to the imperial court and the procuratorate, the police station must maintain a certain deterrent force, otherwise, it will become very troublesome when dealing with affairs.
Cao Dongdong didn't care about them at all, and said with all his heart: "Because our royal police are different from the previous government servants, and also different from their imperial court and procuratorate, our royal police are to protect the people of Song Dynasty for the sake of the Holy One.
Therefore, our Royal Police not only detect cases and maintain order, but also provide assistance to the common people. For example, if you just arrived in Hezhong Mansion and don’t know the road conditions, store locations, or rules, you can go to the police station for help. For another example, if the people of Hezhong Prefecture do not know where to pay taxes or where to apply for household registration, they can go to the police station to inquire.
In short, you only need to remember one sentence, no stranger will be more willing to help you than the Royal Police, or if there is a stranger who is willing to help you, it is the Royal Police in all likelihood, because it protects the people , is the mission of our Royal Police. "
"Good!"
"Well said!"
As soon as Cao Dongdong finished speaking, there was thunderous applause, and the applause was endless.
Cao Dongdong's black eyes were shining with pride, and he thought to himself, it really deserves to be written by my special Da Er pen, it fits the temperament of this yamen, and it is many times stronger than Mr. Su Xiao!
The applause fell slightly, Cao Dongdong was about to continue playing, and one of them suddenly said: "But your royal police beat people more fiercely than Yacha!"
Cao Dongdong left with his eyes wide open, "It's their own fault."
The audience fell silent.
It's too soon for you to turn your face!
Cao Dongdong said majesticly: "Our police station has repeatedly emphasized that during the law enforcement of the Royal Police, you must obey the orders of the Royal Police, whether you are a commoner or a child of an official, otherwise, This is at your own risk. The superintendent hereby emphasizes again that in any criminal case, the Royal Police has no right to convict anyone. Even if you go to the police station with the Royal Police, it does not mean that you are guilty or that you will be punished. , there is no need to be afraid, unless you have a guilty conscience.”
A citizen immediately said: "That's not true. A friend of mine went to the police station and swept the streets for three days without being tried by the royal court."
Cao Dongdong said: "Those people belong to the lightest violation of the law. They are not criminal cases and will not be punished. The most serious thing is to dig ditches. This is the right of our police station to decide, but our Royal Police I must also tell them that if they are not satisfied, they can also go to the imperial court to sue.
Our Royal Police will not even ask anyone for any fees. If a fine is involved, we will only issue a fine. You can take the fine to the warehouse next to the Legal Aid Department to pay the fine. If you are not satisfied, You can also take the ticket to the Legal Aid Department for help. It is just next door, which is very convenient. "
"Superintendent Cao, are you telling the truth? Royal police can't ask us for money?"
"Yes."
Cao Dongdong replied affirmatively: "If there is a royal policeman asking you for money, he must be a fake, so ignore it."
The common people were overjoyed at once, the former yamen servants lived by asking them for money!
This is the distress of many people. Based on this alone, this royal policeman is ten thousand times stronger than the previous Yachai!
The man fell silent for a moment.
Zhang Fei suddenly whispered: "Okay! This is the end of free play, and then read to the copy, don't make mistakes."
"Hey! I can save this!"
Cao Dongdong nodded, looked at the copywriting on the table, and said in an officer's tone: "Next, the superintendent will talk about the deployment and tasks of our police station this year. First of all, it is the house number. Now all house numbers have been popularized in the city This is of great benefit to law and order, and this year we will popularize house numbers in all villages.
Secondly, is household registration. "
As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of many officials changed. Although the government government has provided household registration to the police station, the right of household registration is not in the hands of the police station.
Just listen to Cao Dongdong said: "Because in some cases before, we found that the household registration provided by the government office was not perfect. There are many people with hidden household registration in Hezhong Prefecture, and our royal police have also investigated this. Nine times out of ten, those who hide their household registration are doing it for tax evasion or labor evasion.
However, you can’t escape tax by hiding your household registration now, because the tax department will not only collect taxes based on your household registration, but also conduct tax inspections based on all clues such as fields, houses, and shops. Whether you have a household registration or not, you must pay taxes .
And our police station, like the imperial court and the procuratorate, will not settle old accounts. This year, our police station will require all the people in the entire Hezhong prefecture to register at the police station, including businessmen who come to Hezhong prefecture to do business. A set of exclusive police station household registration has been formulated, but this is not to replace the government's household registration, but to facilitate our police station to better maintain law and order and investigate cases.
From next year, our police station, the royal court, the procuratorate, and even the Legal Aid Department will all adopt the household registration of our police station. If you do not have the household registration issued by our police station, then your lawsuit will face many problems .
Besides, the superintendent believes that those Xieku shops will also agree more with the household registration issued by our police station, because if there is a dispute, they also need the assistance of the Royal Police, and our Royal Police investigates cases based on their own household registration.
Therefore, I suggest that all the people in Hezhong Prefecture actively cooperate with our police station and get their household registration at our police station as soon as possible. "
After these words, Wei Yingfang and the others were gasping for breath.
If you do this, the household registration right will be taken away by them.
But it’s not easy to get angry. After all, Cao Dongdong made it very clear that this is not to replace the government’s household registration, but that the police station wants to create a set of household registration of their own. The reason is that the previous household registration was in a mess. endure.
"Finally!"
Cao Dongdong said again: "Our Royal Police will establish a whole new prison system, and we will publish the details of the system on the alert.
The superintendent here proposes several key reform measures. First, our prisons in the police station will allow prisoners to meet their relatives on a regular basis;
Secondly, our police station will allow the prisoner to meet with the pen he hired under certain conditions;
Third, except for the death row prisoners, the rest of the prisoners will be forced to work, and the money they earn can improve their own meals in the prison, and if there is any surplus, they can be sent to their families.
The reason for this adjustment is also to prevent unjust imprisonment and prevent prisoners from being unfairly punished in prison. "
After finishing speaking, Cao Dongdong put down the copywriting and looked up, but saw that the people outside the courtyard were all staring at them blankly.
Can you still do this?
The officials are naturally furious. Isn't your last sentence just mocking us?
Some officials were even ready to refute Cao Dongdong, but before they opened their mouths, warm applause and cheers erupted outside the courtyard.
Many people also realized that today's highlight is not the imperial court, nor the procuratorate, but the police station.
Prior to this, although the police station also took several major actions, they only achieved results in law enforcement, and in terms of system, it was more the imperial court and the procuratorate that showed their advantages.
Today is the first time for the police station to publicize its institutional advantages.
All changes remain true to the original purpose. Those who gain the way will be helped more than those who have lost the way. As the most special department of the public security department, the police department must know how to use both kindness and strength.
Moreover, the system of the police station also reflects the system of checks and balances between the public security bureau and the law. Although the police station has violent means, it must be supervised by the royal court.
When the applause subsided, Zhang Fei said, "Okay, today's Q&A will end here!"
"Is it over?"
One said dejectedly.
"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded, "but you don't have to regret it. From now on, our public security bureau will hold a question-and-answer meeting every month to explain your doubts. See you next month."
As he spoke, he stood up, and Cao Dongdong and Su Zhe also stood up immediately.
"This question and answer meeting is really exciting, I will come next time." Cao Dongdong said hehe.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The performance of Ya Nei is also very good."
"Really?" Cao Dongdong said: "Xiaochun was still very worried before, thinking that this yamen can't handle it well, and he underestimated people."
Su Zhe smiled and shook his head.
Compared to their calm, the officials were like ants on a hot pot, surrounding Han Jiang, complaining in one go.
They are blatantly seizing power!
After half an hour.
In the lobby of the imperial court, officials from the public security bureau and the government were sitting on both sides, and Han Jiang was sitting on the front seat.
"The household registration right has always been managed by the government. What do you mean by your police station doing this?"
Wei Yingfang asked angrily at the opposite side.
Fu Shichun replied: "But you don't manage well. The household registrations given to us are wrong in three or four out of ten cases. This seriously affects the law enforcement of our police station. This household registration is very important for our police station to investigate cases. Yes, we can only establish our own household registration system.”
"What did you say?"
"Fact."
Fu Shichun responded forcefully.
The two sides were suddenly at war with each other.
Han Jiang suddenly said: "President Zhang, remember what I told you, everyone is sharing worries for the king and serving the country. If you encounter problems, you can communicate in private first. There is no need to make such a stiff fight. It is not good for anyone. Good."
Zhang Fei said: "Although I have no right to command the police station, I also truthfully told Superintendent Cao what I said about Han Si, but was scolded by Superintendent Cao."
Han Jiang immediately looked at Cao Dongdong, "Why is Superintendent Cao dissatisfied with this?"
"To be honest, the younger generation is very dissatisfied." Cao Dongdong pursed his lips and looked aggrieved.
Facing the elders, he immediately put on a cute face, which made even Fu Shichun feel sick.
Han Jiang asked: "How do you say that?"
Cao Dongdong said: "This household registration chaos is not something that happened in a day or two. For this matter alone, our police station has reported to the government thirty-four times, but we have not received any response. We can’t wait forever, because if we make a mistake and wrong the common people, it is our responsibility.”
"What happened?" Han Jiang frowned.
Cao Dongdong nodded straightly and said: "We all report to the government in the form of official documents, which is easy to find out."
Han Jiang looked at Wei Yingfang with a depressed face.
Wei Yingfang felt his cheeks burn, and quickly explained: "Firstly, we don't have enough manpower, and secondly, the census of household registration cannot be completed in a short while."
As far as the efficiency of the government is concerned, if you don't prepare for two or three years, don't even think about the household registration census.
Fu Shichun suddenly said: "But in terms of official documents, we just suggest that the government give orders and let our police station do it. It is the same in the capital now, but the official documents handed over are like a stone sinking into the sea. There is no response. Our police The department can only do it by itself, and our census of household registration is only to maintain law and order. Just now Superintendent Cao made it very clear that we have no intention of replacing the government’s household registration system.”
Han Jiang looked at Wei Yingfang and the others mournfully, but the latter bowed their heads in silence.
Of course they ignored the police station at the time. Letting you do it does not mean handing over the power to you, but in fact the police station should also take orders from the government.
Now this has become evidence of the police counterattack.
What an embarrassment!
This is really impossible to wash away even if you jump into the Yellow River.
Everyone knows that household registration is confused. It is common sense that the royal police must have household registration when investigating a case. However, the two reasonable requests are ignored by the government.
However, the police station is much more independent than before. Since you ignore us, then we will do it ourselves.
Han Jiang pondered for a while, and said: "In any case, this system cannot be broken. The government and the police station cannot use two sets of household registrations. How about this? The government should make up a decree to the police station, and the police station will still follow orders. .”
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "We have no objection, we don't want to show off, but we are forced to do nothing."
Han Jiang looked at the government again.
Cai Yanqing nodded and said, "It should be so."
