Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 79: Cross the street Zhang San


Actually, Tang Jie’s suggestion was based on Sima Guang’s lesson. He believed that Sima Guang lost at the time because he was the presiding judge. Gentle questions, lack of aggressiveness, because the presiding officer must maintain a fair attitude after all.

Then the government can send a person to contend with Er Bi, and the officials can be more calm.

This is obviously not good for Zhang Fei, and the scene is at least two against one.

Therefore, when Xu Zun returned home after the meeting, he asked Xu Zhiqian to call Zhang Fei from the next door, and then told Zhang Fei the suggestion of the Imperial Academy.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Fei learned about it, he was overjoyed.

"This is a good thing!"

"Good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing, at least it's fair." Zhang Fei laughed.

Xu Zun frowned, "To tell you the truth, I also think this is a good suggestion, but it is obviously not good for you."

Xu Zhiqian snorted: "This is not bad, after all, this method can be regarded as aboveboard, and it is much better than last time when they used their power to encircle and suppress Zhang San."

"Xu Niangzi is very right."

Zhang Fei gave Xu Zhiqian a look of approval for the first time: "And in the long run, it will be more beneficial to me, because doing so will encourage litigation, and my bookstore can also help the government to defend Ah!"

Xu Zun was startled, yes! Zhang Fei will also be able to work for the government at that time.

Zhang Fei added: "But since both sides have defenders, a defense system should be established, otherwise, the court may be turned into a market, with endless quarrels."

Xu Zun nodded and said, "What do you think?"

Opinions?

Not really!

Because there are ready-made ones.

Zhang Fei then informed Xu Zun of the defense system of later generations.

Xu Zhiqian nodded again and again, "This defense is quite fair."

Xu Zundao: "Although this method is good, it is definitely not necessary this time, because the imperial court hopes to solve it quickly, and it is not appropriate to delay it for too long."

While they were chatting, Li Si ran in in a panic, "Third Brother, there is someone from the Fan Family Bookstore."

Zhang Fei was surprised and said: "If anyone comes, he will come. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Li Sidao: "The man said that someone poured a bucket of excrement on the gate of Fan's bookstore just now."

"What?"

Zhang Fei stood up, "Did you catch the thief?"

Li Si shook his head and said: "It is said that the thief was riding a horse. After a while, he ran away and disappeared. It was just nightfall, and there were no people on the street. No one saw the thief."

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian immediately left for the Fan family bookstore.

Fan Li was scolding his father and mother, but the main one was Li Guozhong.

It was determined that Li Guozhong did it.

Zhang Fei comforted Fan Li for a while, and then went back with Xu Zhiqian.

On the way.

"What do you think?"

Zhang Fei asked Xu Zhiqian.

Xu Zhiqian pondered a little, and said: "Whether Li Guozhong did it, it's hard to say, but this move must be aimed at you."

"For me?"

"Didn't you forget why you let Li Si throw himself into the river?"

Zhang Fei nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

Xu Zhiqian said: "You were able to gain an advantage in the court at the beginning, and the people's hearts also gave you great help, but this time the people's hearts may not be on your side. I'm afraid they did this because they wanted to retaliate in their own way. As a person, taking the lead in arousing public anger may be very detrimental to you."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "This is exactly what I want."

Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that the most difficult part of this lawsuit is not the outcome in court, but the fact that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will not punish Cao Yanei."

Xu Zhiqian was still puzzled and said, "In this situation, I'm afraid the two empress dowagers will be even more angry."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It's right to be angry, the more angry the better."

......

Indeed!

Before this case, the citizens of Bianjing had a very good impression of Zhang Fei. They all thought that he was different from ordinary tea eaters.

But when it was learned that Zhang Fei defended Cao Dongdong, word of mouth instantly dropped to negative.

Citizens don't like these royal relatives. Their vast land did not fall from the sky. The largest shareholder of Xiangguo Temple is just them.

In addition, there were people blowing the wind, creating public opinion, and throwing dung, making it seem like Zhang Fei is a big villain who is angry with everyone. The effect is not bad. Now the public opinion is one-sided, and almost all support Lin Fei.

He criticized Zhang Fei verbally and in writing.

Fortunately, the imperial court did not intend to procrastinate, otherwise, if the fermentation is too long, I am afraid that the white will really turn into black, which is actually quite normal.

If there is a truth, what people say is awesome.

......

Today is the day of trial.

Although it was cold and windy, the gate of Kaifeng Mansion was still crowded with people.

After these days of fermentation, this case has alarmed almost all the citizens of Kaifeng Prefecture.

And when Zhang Fei came to Kaifeng Mansion, he was really blinded and ridiculed.

"Hey! Isn't this Da Er pen Zhang San?"

"Hey! Yes."

Looking at the scholar, Zhang Fei thought to himself, forget about Er Bi, you still need to be bigger, you are not a bully.

The scholar said: "I remember you once said that the reason why you study the law is to sue all the injustices in the world, and only to help the poor."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Your academic performance must be bad, right?"

The scholar said angrily: "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "Just this one sentence, you can forget it, how can your grades be good? My original words are, I complained about all the injustices in the world, so I helped the poor to file a lawsuit without charging a penny."

The scholar said: "That's what I mean."

Zhang Fei just rolled his eyes and said, "I don't charge you a penny for filing lawsuits for the poor. Doesn't it mean that you only file lawsuits for the poor? Is this really hard to understand?"

"What about complaining about all the injustices in the world?"

"The yamen suffered unfair injustice, and I should stand up and argue for it." Zhang Fei said righteously.

"Ridiculous!"

Another scholar stood up and said: "The evidence in this case is solid, don't you want to confuse right and wrong here!"

There are still many people behind him who are just around the corner.

When Zhang Fei saw it, he repeated his old tricks and said: "I still say that, if you have the ability, go to the hall to argue with me. You don't have to be responsible for shouting here."

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Third brother, we support you!"

"Zhang San, I'd better teach that short-sighted instructor a lesson later."

.....

Zhang Fei raised his eyes and saw a group of dudes standing in the far corner, including Ma Xiaoyi. They hid far away and yelled fiercely.

Anyway, it's Zhang Fei who roasted so much!

My God!

Facing this group of scholars, Zhang Fei is still able to handle it with ease. It can be seen that the group of dandies are really panicked. That's right! I'm here to defend the yamen, if you block me, you will be obstructing justice."

Shut up!

A trail gives way.

"Bah!"

"The hypocrite."

"A dog of a feather!"

"Shameless!"

......

Wherever Zhang Fei walked, there was a lot of abuse left behind.

The only good thing is that no one spit.

Lucky!

Lucky!

Zhang Fei was thinking, how much money should I charge from Ya Nei?

He hadn't talked about the compensation with Cao Dongdong yet, because at that time he was focused on dealing with Wang Wenshan.

It was not easy to come to the front of the government office.

"Let's go!"

The yacha gave Zhang Fei a push.

"Ouch!"

Almost pushed Zhang Fei to the ground.

Angry!

Zhang Fei turned around and glared at the yamen servant angrily, "As officials, you dare to abuse lynching, be careful and I will sue you."

The Yacha said: "If you are not careful, who can blame you."

"So many people are watching, you...!"

"We didn't see anything."

"I see that you are not careful."

"...!"

The eyes of the masses are discerning.

Zhang Fei had no choice but to swallow this boring loss, and leaned on the wall to enter the house, for fear of being "accidental again".

Come along the corridor to the yard in front of the lobby, but there are still many people standing here.

Tang Jie, Chen Shengzhi, Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Liu Shu...!

Don't they have to go to work? Zhang Fei was a little puzzled.

As everyone knows, at this stage, they really don't have to go to work, and they have entered the New Year's Eve stage, but they will still be on duty in rotation.

If there is no such case, Kaifeng Mansion would actually be closed.

You said how much the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion hated Zhang Fei, but it was really kind to just push him.

Mr. Lu, dressed in a thick official uniform, came to his seat and sat down.

"Ascension!"

"Ascension!"

"Mighty..."

The chant sounded.

Silence, avoidance, stand on both sides.

The first pass is Zhang Fei.

"Xiaomin Zhang Fei met Lu Zhifu."

"Free gift!"

Lu Gong said: "Since the suspect Cao Dongdong asked you to defend him, but Lin Fei over there has no money to hire someone who writes the pen. In order to be fair, the official intends to let the chief book Huang Gui to sue on his behalf. I don't know what you think. How about next?"

He is still very fair and strict, and he has to make it clear to Zhang Fei. After all, this suggestion is still under review and has not become a legal provision.

Zhang Fei said: "Xiaomin has no opinion, but Xiaomin also has a small suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

"Both parties take turns to question the parties and related witnesses. When one side is asking, the other side must not interrupt, so that meaningless quarrels can be avoided. After all, we are all providing evidence to the magistrate, and we are fair in the world, not arguing. Compete."

Lu Gong thought for a while, and said: "It's reasonable, just according to your words."

Zhang Fei said again: "Then let Master Huang ask first."

Lv Gong is very careful, "Why?"

Zhang Fei explained: "I am the plaintiff, and Mr. Huang is the accuser. If Mr. Huang does not sue, how can Xiaomin plead?"

Lu Gong nodded, "Master Huang, please ask first!"

Zhang Fei said again: "Can the magistrate give Xiaomin a chair? Xiaomin's foot injury a few days ago has not healed yet."

Lu Gong said: "In the courtroom, I can only give you a punishment."

"Board? The magistrate just pretended to be a commoner and accidentally farted."
