Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 650: Internal joy and external worries
Actually speaking, the procuratorate is more in line with Zhang Fei's profession, but the work of the procuratorate is to take the initiative to investigate and then file a lawsuit. Any violation of laws and regulations, the procuratorate should intervene. Power, this power is not less than that of Yushitai. The difference between the two is that Yushitai does not need evidence, but the procuratorate still needs evidence, but the procuratorate can target everyone, while Yushitai only targets people. Minister.
This is how Zhang Fei encouraged Su Zhe in Hezhong Mansion.
However, now that it's his turn, he still feels a little guilty. After all, this is the capital, and there are many dignitaries everywhere. It will be more troublesome to deal with.
It is impossible to be as comfortable as the judge.
However, Fu Bi's suggestion is also very correct. It may be more troublesome to be the chief judge, because the procuratorate is active after all. Rarely, if someone comes to your door, it is impossible for you not to judge.
This requires sufficient authority to overwhelm the formation. In the capital, Zhang Fei obviously does not have this kind of authority.
It can be seen that everything has pros and cons, and it depends on how to choose.
Zhang Fei also had to seriously think about this issue.
In the evening, when Xu Zun returned home, Zhang Fei told him Fu Bi's suggestion.
After listening to Xu Zun, he also felt that Fu Bi's suggestion was more appropriate. Although Zhang Fei's city mansion was far superior to his peers, he didn't have much experience in the officialdom. Seeing the great witch, it's not bad to take him for a while.
The next day.
Gao Wenyin's biological clock, which is more punctual than mechanical clocks, woke her up on time when it was getting dark.
As always, she gently removed Airo's arm from her body, but the next second that big hand hugged her tightly.
I heard a whisper in my ear again, "Sleep for a while."
Gao Wenyin pursed her lips depressedly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you busy today? Do you want me to wake you up later?"
Zhang Fei was half asleep and half awake and murmured: "I'm fine these days. I've already told Daniel to close the door to thank guests. You can sleep as long as you want. We'll do morning exercises later."
"No seriousness!"
Gao Wenyin lightly patted the big hand that was trying to make trouble, her eyes fluttered, and there was a bit of shyness between her brows, "Sanlang."
"Huh?"
"I may be inconvenient."
"Is the menstrual event coming?"
Zhang Fei said: "But it doesn't seem to be the time yet."
Don't let him not remember, but he remembers this very clearly.
Gao Wenyin said: "No."
"Then why is it inconvenient?" Zhang Fei asked.
Gao Wenyin blushed and said in a voice like a mosquito: "I might be pregnant."
Zhang Fei was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly opened his eyes, feeling like he was dreaming, and asked, "What did you say?"
Gao Wenyin said shyly, "I might be pregnant."
Zhang Fei said, "Why didn't you tell me when it happened?"
Gao Wenyin said: "Just yesterday, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and Xiao Tao was also there. She suspected that I was pregnant, and then she helped me check my pulse, so... she said that I was pregnant."
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Then why didn't you tell me last night?"
Gao Wenyin said: "You fell asleep when you came back last night, and you don't know if Xiaotao really knows the pulse. I don't want you to be happy for nothing."
Xiaotao still has this skill? Zhang Fei blinked, and suddenly said to Gao Wenyin: "Ma'am, you have to promise me that you will return to life, don't forget about your husband if you have children."
Gao Wenyin said angrily and funnyly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Fei said: "I know your temperament very well, it can happen."
"I won't talk to you anymore."
Gao Wenyin pursed her lips and turned around, but her eyes were full of joy.
Of course Zhang Fei couldn't fall asleep after this happened, so he got up quickly, and pretended to help Gao Wenyin get up, his rough hands and feet made Gao Wenyin roll his eyes, asking him to take care of himself.
After washing up, Zhang Fei hurriedly called Xiao Tao over.
At this moment, Xu Zhiqian also came to the hall, seeing Zhang Fei's seriousness, she asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'll talk to you later." Zhang Fei asked Xiao Tao again: "Xiao Tao, are you still able to check the pulse?"
Xiao Tao was very upset and said: "Third brother, when you hired me, didn't you listen carefully? At that time, the price was paid, but it was low."
She is also very strong. Back then in Baifan Building, the maids of the same period were paid sky-high prices, but she was taken down by Zhang Fei at a low price. She has always been very unhappy about it.
Zhang Fei glared at her: "Didn't you get a raise later?"
Xiaotao hurriedly apologized, those maids back then were not as good as her.
Xu Zhiqian, who just realized it, said with a trace of surprise: "Sister Gao, you are pregnant."
Gao Wenyin was not sure, she lowered her eyelids and said softly, "Xiao Tao is right."
Zhang Fei frowned and said: "But Xiao Tao is not a professional after all, I will find someone to take the pulse later."
Xiaotao excitedly said: "Third brother, how can you question my ability, I came from the Alumni House, and Mrs. Xu's happy pulse was also diagnosed by me, and it has been confirmed now."
"Xiao Tao!"
Xu Zhiqian stomped her feet lightly.
Xiaotao suddenly realized that she had slipped her mouth, so she quickly covered her mouth.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but have big heads, and turned his head to look at Xu Zhiqian, "What's the situation?"
Gao Wenyin also looked at Xu Zhiqian in shock.
Xu Zhiqian's beautiful eyes drifted wildly: "I just want to wait until you finish dealing with the matter at hand before I tell you."
"You."
Zhang Fei pointed at Xu Zhiqian, "Don't fool around here, I don't know you yet, you must want to get a job in the capital first and then tell me, if you are pregnant, I can't let you be the chief bookkeeper .”
Xu Zhiqian quickly denied it: "No, who cares about being the master."
But the confidence is slightly lacking.
"It doesn't matter anymore, anyway, you must be finished." Zhang Fei shook his head.
Xu Zhiqian panicked and said, "What do you want?"
Zhang Fei chuckled, "I'll tell my father-in-law later."
"Sanlang."
Xu Zhiqian immediately faltered, took Zhang Fei's arm, and said coquettishly.
It's useless!
Zhang Fei will never relent when he sues Xu Zhiqian.
After Xu Zun came back at noon, Zhang Fei complained all kinds of things, how ruthless Er Bi's mouth was.
When Xu Zun heard about this, his anger rose immediately. He pointed at Xu Zhiqian for a long time, and finally said, "We'll wait until the baby is born."
I want to scold, but I don't dare.
Xu Zhiqian was already ready to be punished, seeing that there was still such a good thing, she couldn't help but winked at Zhang Fei provocatively.
The corner of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched a few times, pretending he didn't see it.
Actually, Zhang Fei is not naive, he just wants to put some pressure on Xu Zhiqian, don't even care about her body when she is working.
This morning, it was really an inexplicable double happiness, but after thinking about it, it is reasonable, because Zhang Fei was basically on a half-vacation in the last six months of the Hezhong Mansion, and the focus was shifted from the office to the bedroom. A little more violently.
However, Zhang Fei has mixed feelings. The two wives are pregnant at the same time. Who should they sleep with tonight?
You can't find Li Si.
Ah!
Of course, there is no time to think about these things at this time, Zhang Fei immediately found Fan Yong, this woman must be worthy, but he also told Fan Yong, don't reveal this beforehand, he is preparing for homework recently, and he doesn't want to be caught again Congratulations.
Zhang Fei was a little embarrassed to accept this gift.
Fan Yong readily agreed, and of course, he would not help Zhang Fei save money, and directly matched Zhang's family with a Wenpo Tiantuan, and there were fourteen maids and Wenpo.
Xu Zhiqian almost fainted when she saw this lineup, is there still freedom here?
Fortunately, Zhang Fei thanked the guests behind closed doors recently, so he could stay with them at home, and the best comfort for Xu Zhiqian was to discuss with him the issue of going to the Legislative Council to explain.
And Zhang Fei chose to thank the guests behind closed doors at this time, because he didn't want everyone to think that he came back to deal with the Qingzhou matter.
So the reason why he thanked guests behind closed doors was to prepare for his homework and to report to the Legislative Council soon.
Have a look!
But who would believe it!
Everyone was still staring at Zhang Fei, but for several days in a row, Zhang Fei really didn't leave the door, didn't walk through the second door, and didn't see any guests.
This confuses everyone.
Could it be that this kid really came back to make a report?
Impossible!
Why they feel so surprised is because the current situation is getting worse and worse. The reformers and the conservatives blame each other every day, impeach each other, throw black material at each other, and quarrel with each other.
If you don't take action to solve it, it may be too late.
The fierce struggle between the DPRK and China actually reflects that the situation on Jingdong East Road and Qingzhou is very bad. Otherwise, the two factions would not be so crazy.
The fact is also the same. At this time, the stage of tax collection has begun. This is the most terrifying time of the year for the people. It is really not too good to match the current debt problem!
Qingzhou!
After receiving Sima Guang's instructions, the Qingzhou Public Security Bureau began to conduct public trials against all the people's lawsuits, but the result was more and more sentences, and the more complicated the sentences, it seemed that there was no end in sight.
Imperial Court.
"Why are there so many lawsuits?"
Qian Wei saw Sun Gu enter the house with a stack of lawsuits again, he was really numb, this is endless!
Since he came to Qingzhou to take office, he has never had a day off!
Sun Gu said helplessly: "These are the appeals filed by those landlords who refused to accept the previous judgment of our imperial court."
Qian Yi frowned and said, "Why are they not convinced?"
Sun Gu said: "Because they think that the people have money to pay taxes, why can't they pay back their money first."
In the usury lawsuit, they followed Zhang San's precedent, first reducing the interest to the legal range, and then repaying some money every month while ensuring the life of the debtor.
Try to ensure the best interests of both parties.
According to this case, after deducting living expenses, the rest must be repaid. However, many people now have tax money in their hands, so whether to pay the money first or pay the tax first.
This point is controversial.
Those big landlords believed that according to this judgment, the money should be returned to me first, because the case did not state that tax payment is the priority, but only that life should be guaranteed first, and tax payment is not life.
Qian Wei couldn't help frowning, there is no such explanation in the case!
Sun Gu said: "Now those big landlords are stopping the people from paying taxes and asking them to pay back the money first, and the government is also asking us, what should we do about this?"
Qian Yi frowned, "Are they asking, or are they deliberately making things difficult for us?"
No matter how strong the landlord is, it is impossible to be as strong as the government. If the government is not behind the manipulation, those landlords will dare to stop the people from paying taxes!
Procuratorate.
"Transporter Wang, recently many soldiers came to sue the Transshipment Division, saying that the Transshipment Division did not pay them their military salaries. I don't know if this is true or not."
Fan Chunren asked a tall and thin official in his forties.
This person's name is Wang Juqing, who has just been appointed as a transshipment envoy on Jingdong East Road, and was recommended by someone from Wang Anshi's side.
Interestingly, Jingdong East Luzhi is located in Qingzhou, and the headquarters of the transshipment department is also in Qingzhou. In Qingzhou, the two factions can be said to be close to each other.
Wang Juqing sighed and said: "Now that the autumn tax has not been collected, the money and food in this warehouse have all been compensated to those soldiers, government servants, and knife and pen officials. How can there be any money to pay the soldiers."
Fan Chunren asked: "Then why didn't the transshipment envoy explain this situation?"
Wang Juqing immediately said: "Procurator Fan, please don't wrong people. We explained to Chief Prosecutor Fan early in the morning that the reason why we owe those people their military salaries and wages is because of financial difficulties.
However, Prosecutor Fan still has to appeal according to the law, saying that everyone's legitimate rights and interests should be defended, regardless of the situation of our government. "
Fan Chunren said: "This is my responsibility. The fact is that you are indeed in arrears. It is impossible for our procuratorate to ignore the facts, but you can also explain your difficulties in court, and the imperial court will consider it as appropriate."
"Discretionary?"
Wang Juqing laughed and said: "I really didn't see it. Don't talk about Qingzhou, don't you know what the local finances are like in all parts of the country? If you can really consider it according to your own circumstances, you shouldn't file this lawsuit, but It should be agreed with us privately.
In the name of serving the people, your public prosecutors have portrayed our government officials as villains. If we don’t pay for compensation, then won’t we be convicted of this villain, and the people will turn to you , your abacus is really loud. "
"Wang Shouming, don't spit blood here."
Fan Chunren has a bad temper, so he stood up immediately and said angrily: "Take it as if I don't know what kind of tricks you are playing. If you really cooperated with our public prosecution and law enforcement, this matter would not have come to the present situation. You have never You never thought about communicating with us. We said that if the government has difficulties, you can pay in installments, but you said in court that you will perform the compensation obligation immediately.
Then you deliberately embezzled military salaries to compensate those soldiers, in order to get more soldiers to come to sue, intending to mess up Qingzhou, and finally frame our public security law? "
Wang Juqing sneered: "Is your procuratorate just relying on assumptions to decide the case?"
"Thanks for the reminder."
Fan Chunren said: "Our procuratorate will investigate your transshipment department immediately. I also tell you that even if Qingzhou is in chaos, we will bring you to justice. You will never succeed."
Wang Juqing cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Then I will wait for Chief Prosecutor Fan."
After speaking, he flicked his robe sleeves and turned to leave.
Liu Zhi, who was sitting on the side, said: "It seems that they are determined to use finances to force the court to abolish the public security law."
Fan Chunren frowned and said, "This is the end of the matter, and there is no way we can retreat."
Liu Zhi asked: "Then what are you going to do?"
Fan Chunren said: "Originally we didn't plan to settle the old accounts, but they are doing it now, so no wonder we are there. I want to check their accounts and see how the money is used. He said something very Yes, everyone knows what is going on with the local finances, so I don’t believe there is nothing wrong with it.”
Again the same sentence, this freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
What the Northern Song Dynasty suffered from was not a disease, but a chronic disease. Now the body is very weak, and the public prosecution law is undoubtedly a powerful medicine. If it is used well, it is good. If it is not used well, it may aggravate the condition. This is so weak that the body will not be able to bear it.
What's more terrible is that these officials all knew what kind of disease the Northern Song Dynasty had, what symptoms they had, and what problems they had. Therefore, their counterattacks were very precise, hitting the weaknesses of the reformers everywhere.
It can be seen from this that, in fact, Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi's judgments are very accurate. The Hezhong Mansion is only the success of Zhang Fei's personal ability, and does not represent the success of the public security system.
Of course, it does not represent the success of the young crop method.
Wangfu.
"The student is incompetent, let the teacher down."
Lu Huiqing bowed and said in shame.
"Let's not talk about this for now." Wang Anshi asked anxiously: "Is the situation on Jingdong East Road very bad now?"
Lu Huiqing straightened up, but lowered her head again, "It's really very...very bad. According to the information obtained so far, people in many places have refused to return the money for young crops, including self-cultivating farmers, wealthy households, and even For those big landowners.”
Wang Anshi asked: "Why is this happening?"
Lu Huiqing wiped the sweat from his forehead a little, and said: "In the beginning, it was because many ordinary farmers did not pay the money, and they all borrowed from those big landlords and rich households. Now their debts have reached the limit. In the early period, those big landlords and wealthy households tried to force them to pay back the money, but met with resistance, so those big landlords and wealthy households turned to the government for help.
However, due to the large number of people involved, in order to avoid arousing public grievances, the local government did not support those big landlords and wealthy households. Instead, they asked those big landlords and wealthy households to pay back the money first. The households were so angry that they also refused to pay back the Qingmiao money. "
Wang Anshi scolded angrily: "How dare they do this? Could it be that they refuse to pay back, and the government will let them do it?"
There are only a few big landlords and wealthy households. Beating them has nothing to do with the people.
Lu Huiqing suddenly raised her head and said: "This is not likely to happen normally, but the students suspect that many wealthy households and landlords are backed by ministers of the court and China. How to persecute the people. To make matters worse, the local tax collection is currently in progress, and many people are so upset that they even refuse to pay taxes. And.!"
Wang Anshi frowned and said, "What else?"
Lu Huiqing said: "It is said that many local people chose to flee, but some people heard that there is a team of people coming to the capital, probably wanting to sue the imperial court."
"What?"
Wang Anshi slapped the table angrily, "They want to kill the new law!"
"But don't worry, teacher." Lu Huiqing said: "The situation in Qingzhou is even more unoptimistic. The students have already arranged for some people to come to Beijing to sue the imperial court. At worst, we will die with them."
"Burning together?"
Wang Anshi frowned, and sat down slowly, "Isn't the death of jade and stone in their hands, they just hope to use the public prosecutor's law to block my new deal."
Lu Huiqing said: "It's not that the new law and the public prosecutor's law will die together, but us and them."
Wang Anshi was startled and looked up at Lu Huiqing.
Brother, don't let it go!
Lu Huiqing said resolutely: "If it is true that all troubles are coming to the capital, someone must take responsibility. We can only exchange for the possibility of negotiating with them."
It can be seen that this problem on Jingdong East Road, if you don't fight to the death with the other party, you can't survive.
"Negotiation?"
Wang Anshi seemed very hesitant. I have to say that this old Wang's acting skills are really not weaker than Zhang Fei and Zhao Xu.
Lu Huiqing nodded and said: "If the crisis on Jingdong East Road is manipulated by them, we can only resolve the crisis by negotiating with them."
Although he looked at it, he didn't think of one thing, that is, the debt of Qingmiao money is intricate at the bottom. As long as there is a problem with one part of the government's money, it will all explode, involving many, many people, and forces from all walks of life will be involved, and finally there will be such a large-scale debt default incident.
The key point is that it is time for tax collection again, and everyone is under a lot of pressure.
Wang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, for the present, we can only do this, but now that we have broken our faces with each other, we can't just humb down and talk to them."
Lu Huiqing said: "There is someone who can help us."
"Who?"
"Zhang San."
Meng Mansion.
"It's messed up! It's messed up! It's all messed up!"
Pei Wen rushed into the hall dancing and shouting excitedly.
Meng Gansheng, who was talking with Xie Yun about the situation in the DPRK and China, asked, "What's wrong?"
Pei Wendao: "The entire Jingdong East Road is in chaos, including Qingzhou."
Xie Yun stood up suddenly, "What's going on?"
Pei Wendao: "It turns out that Sima Junshi and the others are all telling the truth. The governments of the states on Jingdong East Road are using the Young Crop Law to collect money. After these four rounds, let alone the common people, even many wealthy households can bear it." Can’t stop, it’s just that all the state capitals are collecting taxes now, and according to the regulations, the money for young crops is paid together with the autumn tax. Many people know that after paying the tax, they must not pay the money, and if they pay back the money, they will definitely not pay the tax, anyway. If you die, you will simply not pay.
And those landlords and wealthy households saw that the people did not pay back the money, and they did not pay back the money. Because there were too many defaulters, the government did not dare to force them, for fear of causing disaster. "
Meng Gansheng was not happy to hear that, so he hurriedly asked, "What about Qingzhou?"
Pei Wendao: "The situation in Qingzhou is not much better. The transfer officer's general salary is all used to compensate the previous debts. As a result, more people can't get the military salary, and the local water transportation has stopped. Now it is also a mess. "
Meng Gansheng slapped the table and said excitedly: "It's really hard to find a place to go through the iron shoes. It doesn't take much effort! It's best for them to finish playing together. Haha.!"
Actually, most people neither like the New Deal nor the Public Prosecution Law, but choose to support the New Deal or the Public Prosecution Law out of helplessness.
For most people, it's best if they both die.
But I can only think about it, because before that, they all thought that there would still be a winner, so they turned to the New Deal and used Wang Anshi to kill the public prosecutor first.
I never thought that there would be problems on both sides at the same time, and there would be such a big trouble.
I can't believe it!
This is a dream!
Pei Wendao: "Now we have to quickly add fuel to the flames and strive to make this matter bigger. Let's see how they end up. If they can't accept it, we will play together to force the officials to abolish the New Deal and the Public Prosecution Law."
Meng Gansheng nodded straight, "Hurry up and go to the contact person, let's discuss it."
"Yes."
"Wait!"
Xie Yun suddenly said: "Did we ignore someone?"
Meng Gansheng asked: "Who?"
Xie Yun said: "Zhang San. This kid hasn't shown up yet."
Meng Gansheng stroked his beard, "Accordingly speaking, Fu Gong suggested that the officials transfer Zhang San back. It should be because of this matter. The Legislative Council will explain."
Xie Yun said: "This kid is very cunning, we have to guard against him!"
Meng Gansheng nodded and said: "It is necessary to prevent, but he stays at home and does not go out, so how can we prevent him?"
".!"
Xie Yun didn't know what to say for a while.
Pei Wen excitedly said: "This matter has nothing to do with us, we just need to mess things up, why worry so much."
