Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 778: Lending a helping hand

When it comes to work, Zhang Fei and Fang Yun gradually become familiar with each other, no longer unfamiliar.

Although Zhang Fei has been writing to Fang Yun to help her learn the law, Zhang Fei actually does not know her level very well. During the conversation, he found that Fang Yun was very familiar with the laws and regulations. heart, and also has its own understanding.

Compared with Xu Zhiqian, although Fang Yun may not be as talented as Xu Zhiqian, he is more professional than Xu Zhiqian, because Xu Zhiqian's purpose in practicing law is very strong, which is to **** the strong and help the weak. In her eyes, it is black and white. Obviously, as a judicial official, he serves the law.

Zhang Fei also discussed this issue with Xu Zhiqian, but it was of no use. For Xu Zhiqian, justice is more important and justice is greater than the law.

Relatively speaking, Fang Yun is relatively calm and composed, and has more lawyer principles.

Five days later.

Fang Yun, in the name of the Legal Aid Department, once again sued the Taoist priest Sanshan on behalf of the victim's husband Wu Yong.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted many people. From their discussions, it is not difficult to see that the camp is very clear, almost half supports the Sanshan Taoist priests, and the other half opposes.

People in ancient times were very superstitious, including the emperors.

The judiciary emphasizes evidence. There is a blank between the two. How to get along with each other is also a concern of many judicial officials.

"President Liu, I feel that Lawyer Fang is just messing around. If she is hired by the other party, there is nothing wrong with it. However, the Legal Aid Department gets money from the court or donations from benefactors. She takes it It is inappropriate to use money from the imperial court to entangle good people, and there are still many people outside waiting for Taoist Master Sanshan to treat their illnesses. If it is delayed due to this matter, I wonder if Lawyer Fang can bear this responsibility."

Before the court session, Fang Erbi Yujie complained to Liu Zhi.

Zhang Fei, who was hiding behind the people and watching, couldn't help but think to himself, are the Erbi pens so powerful now?

Liu Zhi seemed to think that what Yu Jie said was very reasonable, so he looked at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun immediately said: "Our Legal Aid Department has found conclusive evidence, enough to prove that Master Sanshan defrauded money and killed people."

Liu Zhi pondered for a while and said: "Lawyer Fang, the president of this court can give you another chance, but I also hope that you can treat it with caution. If you can't produce enough evidence this time, this court will The mayor will no longer accept this case."

Fang Yun nodded and said: "Fang Yun understands."

Liu Zhi looked at Yu Jie again, who nodded reluctantly.

Liu Zhi then dropped the hammer and announced the trial.

"Taoist Priest Sanshan, can you recognize this thing?"

Fang Yun picked up a charm.

Taoist Priest Sanshan glanced at it and said with dissatisfaction: "Of course I know, this is the Thousand Gold Talisman made by Pindao. Didn't you already ask about it last time? Why do you ask again?"

As he spoke, he cursed: "She is such a talkative woman, no wonder no one dares to marry her."

The tone was full of contempt.

Zhang Fei looked at Fang Yun and saw her expression was calm, as if she was used to it.

Indeed!

Nowadays, women have to face this when they go to court.

Liu Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Defendant, you are a practitioner, should you pay attention to your words?"

"Yes."

Taoist Master Sanshan nodded, but his expression was still quite dissatisfied.

Fang Yun asked again: "I wonder where this thousand-gold talisman came from, and how the Taoist master used it to treat the villagers' illnesses."

Taoist Priest Sanshan said: "This thousand-gold talisman was given to me by the Earth God, who ordered me to help the poor people suffering from illness. This talisman is the essence of all things on earth and can cure all diseases. If you need treatment, , you only need to go to the Earth Temple in the western suburbs, practice it by Pindao, take this mantra, and then worship in front of the Earth God for seven days. During this period, you must have no distracting thoughts, and the disease will be cured."

Fang Yun asked: "When the Taoist priest mentioned that all diseases can be cured, does he mean any disease?"

Taoist Master Sanshan said: "Yes, many people have been cured by Pindao's Thousand Gold Talisman."

Many people in front of the door nodded one after another, and even took the initiative to tell Zhang Fei and other onlookers about the power of the Thousand Gold Talisman, which attracted many people.

Zhang Fei thought to himself that if he couldn't sue this magician this time, he would instead help him publicize it.

Fang Yun asked: "Do the people need to give money?"

Taoist Master Sanshan said: "The poor Taoist is under the orders of the Earth God to hang a pot to help the world. How can he ask for money? The patient only needs to ensure that the incense of the Earth Temple continues for seven days."

Fang Yun nodded and asked: "Is it effective for anyone?"

Taoist Master Sanshan said: "Yes."

Fang Yun said: "Is it effective for the Taoist priest?"

Taoist Master Sanshan said: "Of course it works, but Pindao is protected by the God of Earth and will not get sick. All the folks sitting here can testify for me that they have never seen Pindao get sick."

The believers nodded frequently and began to promote it again.

Cao Dongdong was suspicious when he heard this, and whispered: "Zhang San, this doesn't sound like a lie."

Zhang Fei said calmly: "Let's talk about it after reading it, okay."

Fang Yun looked down at the copy, then raised his head and asked: "According to our investigation, the Taoist priest nearby advised the people to believe in the earth **** and not to visit those doctors."

Taoist Priest Sanshan said: "Why the earth **** gave orders to Pindao is because those quack doctors have no knowledge of pharmacology and medical skills. They only want to make profits, prescribe medicines to patients indiscriminately, and kill many people."

As soon as these words came out, more people came forward to help, but Liu Zhi knocked his gavel to order them to be silent.

Cao Dongdong became more and more evil the more he listened, and said: "Zhang San, you see, everyone thinks so."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "This doctor is not a god. How can he cure all diseases? Almost everyone has a relative who died due to ineffective treatment. When he said this, he definitely did not say that this kind of trick, Can't you tell the difference?"

Cao Dongdong curled his lips and hummed: "Only you can tell the difference, others can't."

Zhang Fei didn't bother to argue with him. He had seen this kind of thinking and behavior before in that era, let alone now when science is underdeveloped.

See Fang Yun again: "So the Taoist priest believes that when people are sick, they should go to Tuguan to seek talismans to cure their illnesses, instead of asking for help from doctors."

Taoist Master Sanshan nodded and said: "Yes, those quack doctors can only kill people. The medicine they prescribe cannot be drunk at all."

The tone is very firm. With so many people watching, he has a firm belief!

"Thank you, Taoist Master, for your answer."

Fang Yun nodded slightly and said to Liu Zhi: "To the president, Fang Yun kindly asks the ancient chief of Legend Peak Village to appear in court to testify."

Liu Zhidao: "Pass."

I saw an old man with white hair coming to the court.

Yu Jie glanced at the white-haired old man, his eyes full of confusion, and then looked at Taoist Master Sanshan, who also shook his head slightly.

Fang Yundao: "Mr. Gu, what do you do?"

Gu Changming replied: "I am a doctor from Qifeng Village."

Fang Yundao: "I wonder what diseases Mr. Gu is good at treating?"

Gu Changming said: "The pain of broken bones."

Fang Yundao: "Mr. Gu, did you cure any patients on September 15th last year?"

Gu Changming thought for a while and sighed: "I am already very old. How can I remember what happened more than half a year ago? However, I will write down all the patient's conditions and the prescriptions prescribed by me for future patients." If it is not cured, come for follow-up and there will be no misdiagnosis."

As he spoke, he took out a broken book and flipped through it, "I found it. I found it. A man with a broken right arm did come to seek treatment that day."

Fang Yun asked: "What is this person's name?"

Gu Changming said: "This patient is called He Chao."

Fang Yun asked the Sanshan Taoist priest again: "Does the Taoist priest know He Chao?"

Taoist Priest Sanshan frowned and said nothing, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.

Liu Zhi reminded him: "The defendant."

Taoist Master Sanshan nodded and said: "I know you."

Fang Yun asked: "Dare to ask, what is the relationship between He Chao and the Taoist Priest?"

Taoist Master Sanshan stuttered a little, "He is. He is Pindao's younger brother."

The people at the door suddenly looked at Taoist Master Sanshan in disbelief.

No matter how ignorant you are, you can still hear something wrong here.

Hearing the discussion outside, Taoist Master Sanshan immediately defended himself: "But since Pindao became a monk, I have had very little contact with him."

Fang Yun smiled and asked, "Does the Taoist priest know what your younger brother does?"

".!"

Taoist Priest Sanshan remained silent.

Fang Yun then said to Liu Zhi: "The president may not know something, but He Chao is a vendor who specializes in making incense, and the incense in Tuguan all comes from his brother's workshop."

Liu Zhi glanced at Taoist Priest Sanshan with a deep eyebrow, and seemed to understand the trick.

Fang Erbi Yujie was so anxious that he stood up directly and said to Gu Changming: "Mr. Gu, at that time He Chao went to Guipu to see a doctor. Was it urgent?"

Gu Changming nodded and said: "Yes, for this broken bone injury, the sooner he was treated, the better. According to Lao Cheng's records, he came to Lao Cheng's house for treatment on the day he was injured."

Fang Yun asked Taoist Master Sanshan: "After my brother was cured by Gu Langzhong, will he go to the Taoist Master again to ask for the Thousand Gold Talisman?"

Taoist Priest Sanshan opened his mouth several times, but glanced at Liu Zhi guiltily, and then shook his head.

Fang Yun asked: "Yes or no?"

Taoist Master Sanshan then said: "No."

Yu Jie frowned and sat down with worry on his face.

Fang Yun then asked Taoist Priest Sanshan: "Taoist Priest, is your mother still alive?"

Taoist Master Sanshan said: "He passed away two years ago."

Fang Yundao: "Why did you die?"

"Died of illness."

"Will your mother come to earth to seek the Thousand Gold Talisman?"

"My mother. My mother had difficulty moving at the time, so...that's why she didn't come?"

"Can your mother ask a doctor to treat you?"

"My mother has been living with Pindao's younger brother, Pindao doesn't know much about Pindao."

"Taoist priest, do you still remember Liu Han from Xiagou Village?"

"I don't remember."

"In March last year, he took his mother to the earth to pray for the Thousand Gold Talisman to cure her illness."

"That seems to be the case." Taoist Priest Sanshan felt guilty and did not dare to look directly at Fang Yun.

Fang Yun said: "Liu's mother, like your mother-in-law, was bedridden for three years, and the distance between Xiagou Village and Tuguan is further than the distance between your brother's home and Tuguan. I don't know what happened when I was growing up. How can I tell Liu Han?"

"I don't remember the poor Taoist priest." Taoist priest Sanshan said.

Fang Yun said: "But Liu Han remembered that according to his confession, the Taoist priest suggested that Liu Han carry Liu's mother on his back and go to Tu Temple to impress the Tu God with his filial piety."

Taoist Priest Sanshan remained silent.

Fang Yun added: "It's a pity that Liu's mother passed away a month after seeking treatment in Tuguan. Her mother was bedridden for three whole years. She saw several doctors and took medicine every year to survive, but the Taoist priest I never let my mother go to Tuguan for treatment."

Taoist Master Sanshan said excitedly: "My mother was cured to death by those quack doctors."

Fang Yun said calmly: "But after your mother passed away, my brother's family still went to see the doctor for all kinds of illnesses, and they never went to Tuguan to ask for the Thousand Gold Talisman."

As he said that, Fang Yun took out more than ten prescriptions and said, "Judge President, these are the evidence that the defendant's brother He Chao and his family were treated by doctors."

"Submit."

After Liu Zhi looked at them one by one, he asked Taoist Sanshan: "Does Taoist Sanshan have anything to say?"

Taoist Priest Sanshan was already sweating profusely, and he quickly looked at Yu Jie asking for help.

Yu Jie was also helpless at this time.

Fang Yun said loudly: "We really can't prove whether the Thousand Gold Talisman is effective, nor can we prove whether gods exist. But judging from the behavior of Taoist Priest Sanshan, he himself doesn't believe that the Thousand Gold Talisman can cure diseases. His family all chose to see a doctor instead of going to Tu Guan to ask for the Thousand Gold Talisman, but he went around claiming that all the doctors in the world were quacks, and only the Thousand Gold Talisman could save people.

Although he does not ask for money from patients, the incense in his Taoist temple is expensive and shoddy. His incense candles burn faster than those in ordinary temples, and the cost is only half. If he burns seven consecutive incense candles, Day, at least two coins are needed. ”

Taoist Master Sanshan said excitedly: "You are talking nonsense."

Yu Jie also stood up and said: "Please ask Lawyer Fang to bring out evidence."

Fang Yun actually picked up a piece of evidence, "This is the evidence provided to us by the Taxation Department, and the reason is precisely because He Chao lied about tax items and concealed the true cost of making incense candles. He is now under investigation by the Taxation Department. ”

When Taoist Priest Sanshan heard this, he immediately collapsed on his chair.

On Jingdong East Road, the Taxation Department is far scarier than the police station.

Fang Yun added: "Taoist Master Sanshan took a charm that he didn't even believe in and told others that this charm can cure all diseases. This is obviously a fraud, and he is taking advantage of the people's illness. He has the mentality of seeking medical treatment to gain the trust of the people, and then conspires with his brother He Chao to obtain money from it.

But judging from his attitude towards his mother's illness, he definitely knew that only medicine could cure the illness, but he stopped people from going to the doctor to see a doctor. It was precisely because of his behavior that Wu Yong of that time His wife did not receive timely medical treatment and died of illness. Although there is no evidence to prove that Taoist Sanshan committed murder deliberately, this is definitely manslaughter.

Therefore, on behalf of the Legal Aid Department, I urge Judge Liu to convict the defendant of money fraud and manslaughter. And compensate my client. ”

Suddenly I heard a cry, "Dog Taoist."

Before he finished speaking, another rotten egg flew towards Taoist Master Sanshan and hit him on the head accurately.

Suddenly, there was a loud yell of curses at the door, and countless rotten roots and rotten eggs flew towards Taoist Master Sanshan.

"Who dares to act arrogant here."

This was the first time Liu Zhi saw this situation. He was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He shouted angrily and more than a dozen court police officers rushed out.

The people suddenly woke up and looked at the rotten vegetable roots in their hands, panicking.

Who handed this to me.

Who harmed me?

But Fang Yunke heard the sound of "Dog Taoist" and couldn't help but pursed his lower lip.

Afternoon.

The back hall of the imperial court.

"Let me tell you, how did Lawyer Fang become so powerful in a blink of an eye? The reason is that the founder of Erbi is here."

Liu Zhi glanced at Zhang Fei and said with a faint smile.

Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "The president of the court is overly praised. Lawyer Fang has always performed well. He has won hundreds of lawsuits and has a record of twelve consecutive victories."

Liu Zhidao: "I dare to ask Prosecutor Zhang if, as a judicial official, he commits chaos in court, should his crime be increased by one level?"

Zhang Fei nodded: "Absolutely."

Liu Zhidao: "Why did prosecutor Zhang throw eggs to disrupt the trial?"

"I don't have one."

Zhang Fei said: "President Liu has no proof and no evidence, so you can't accuse people unjustly."

Liu Zhi hummed: "Don't worry, the president of this court will send someone to investigate."

Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "Of course Chief Liu should investigate. This kind of thing cannot be tolerated, but I think it was a good idea to throw the egg!"

Liu Zhidao: "How?"

Zhang Fei said: "Once word of this scene spreads, those ignorant believers may wake up."

Liu Zhi nodded slightly, "Yes! Even if the imperial court finds him guilty, some ignorant people will still believe it. Moreover, it is really difficult to judge this kind of case."

Zhang Fei said: "However, in cases like this, nine out of ten cases are for the purpose of seeking money, and the judiciary can only start from this aspect, investigating whether these magicians are consistent on the outside and set an example. If Taoist Master Sanshan, There is really no way to put his mother to death, or to have his brother amputate his arm. But if there are too many believers and endanger the public order, the national security law can also be used for trial."

Liu Zhi nodded.

Zhang Fei asked again: "President Liu, how is the situation of the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate in Dengzhou?"

Liu Zhi was startled and replied: "At first, the public security on Jingdong East Road was the worst in the country. There were bandits everywhere. However, after the tax department and the police station cracked down, and the opening of the new port in the north, So the security here has improved a lot."

Zhang Fei asked curiously: "What does Xingang have to do with this grass bandit thing?"

Liu Zhidao: "As far as I know, many grassroots bandits have gone to Xingang to make a living."

Zhang Fei nodded.

Outskirts.

Zhang Fei and Fang Yun came to a small river, where Fang Yun rescued him.

Recalling everything, everything seems to have happened yesterday.

After a while, Zhang Fei turned around and asked, "Are you really not willing to go to the capital with me?"

Fang Yun lowered his head slightly and shook his head.

Zhang Fei said: "You are engaged in judicial work now, and you should understand that as long as the president of the court finds you not guilty, you are innocent."

Fang Yundao: "But the law also tells me that I am guilty."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If you don't want to go, I won't force you, but you are not young now, haven't you thought about getting married and having children?"

Fang Yundao: "I have decided not to marry again in this life. If possible, I hope to stay in the Legal Aid Department."

Zhang Fei nodded, "Okay."

Fang Yun glanced at Zhang Fei secretly and said timidly: "Third brother, am I very disappointing to you?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I will not be disappointed, I will only be happy. Your life should be your own decision. I will always support you."

"Thank you."

Fang Yun nodded lightly.

Zhang Fei joked: "No need to thank me, you cut this with one knife."

Zhang Fei stayed in the prefecture city for more than half a month. On the one hand, he inspected the public prosecutor's office and on the other hand, he taught Fang Yun some skills on some of the lawsuits he had fought. During this period, he also visited Wei Ada's family.

One person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

Due to Zhang Fei's rising status in the court, no one in Dengzhou dared to bully their family, and Zhang Fei also gave them a lot of money.

In the end, the person Zhang Fei felt most sorry for in that lawsuit was Wei Ada. Their family lived a very happy life.

After bidding farewell to Fang Yun, Zhang Fei went to Xingang again.

This new port is an investment by a charitable foundation. When he tricked Ma Tianhao and the others into investing here, he wanted to lure them with maritime trade.

When I came to Xingang, I saw that under the green water and green mountains, it was really a smog.

Everywhere you looked, it was either a brothel or a football stadium, full of bare-breasted women and some drunkards.

Zhang Fei felt his head was big!

But Cao Dongdong was very excited, this place is really a wonderland!

"Ouch! It's Saburo here!"

But I saw a man older than Zhang Fei coming to Zhang Fei excitedly.

This person is Chen Maoqian's second son, Chen Shoucheng.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Brother Chen, the foundation is here for you to do business, not for you to play with women. What did you do...?"

Chen Shoucheng immediately said: "Sanlang, you can't blame us. The only way to go to sea from here is to Japan or Korea. They all want our goods, but they have nothing to buy there, mainly wood. , coal, and sulfur from the Japanese country. They can only trade women with us. Then if we buy women back, can't we just open a brothel?

In addition, the Tax Department suppressed the bandits and drove all the grass bandits to our place. If we don't get some women, wine, and football fields to stabilize them, it will be difficult to control here. ”

For those grassroots bandits who are accustomed to being lawless, they can no longer just keep their peace and find a job. Going to sea to make a living is the most suitable for them. The main thing is to go to port, and the world belongs to them.

"That's it!"

Zhang Fei reluctantly accepted the reality and asked: "How about the profit?"

Chen Shoucheng said: "The profits are really good. The main reason is that the recent prices of wood and coal are very good, and there is also sulfur. The imperial court has been buying sulfur on a large scale recently. It should be used to make gunpowder. The Japanese sulfur is very good. , we also made a lot of money. Now, 50% of the taxes in Dengzhou are related to our new city.

One more thing, Saburo may not know, we also killed many Beijiners. When those Imperial Guards saw the Beijiners, they were so scared that they peed their pants, but they let us take care of them. hey-hey.! ”

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "What's going on?"

Chen Shoucheng said: "Many northerners saw that our business was doing well and wanted to rob our ships. But at sea, they are no match for us. With their small broken ships, we saw a I have only done one ship, and I have never lost. But now many northern businessmen also want to do business with us and smuggle it into their country."

"Really?"

Zhang Fei frowned.

Chen Shoucheng nodded and said: "The business in the northern forecourt is monopolized by the powerful in the north, but they can't control it on the sea. However, the commander-in-chief has told us that any raw materials for producing gunpowder must not be sold. Our country has legal provisions for giving it to them. But those businessmen have never thought of buying gunpowder. They still like our silk and pottery."

Zhang Fei asked: "Do our goods need to be wrapped in something?"

Chen Shoucheng thought for a while, "I still want some, Sanlang, why do you ask this?"

Zhang Fei said: "We have some old newspapers that we can use to package your goods."

Chen Shoucheng blinked and said: "We all use cloth to wrap, not paper. Besides, using newspapers to wrap is not cost-effective."

Zhang Fei said: "This is for free. Don't worry about the cost. Don't those pottery and porcelain have to be padded with straw, just use newspapers, but these can only be sent to Liao Kingdom."

Chen Shoucheng nodded dullly.
