Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 8: Because
Cao Yan didn't delay either. After all, the case was too simple and there was nothing worth preparing for.
He immediately announced to the public that the prison department will bring the case to trial three days later.
Zhang Fei was also notified immediately, so he was still a little worried about it.
The reason why he was so arrogant before was entirely because he had a thorough understanding of Xu Zun.
Even in later generations, if the lawyers and judges have the same moral and values, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, let alone in today's feudal society.
Success depends more on the judge's decision than the lawyer's argument.
Now not only the judge has changed, but even the yamen for trial has changed. This is of course very bad news for Zhang Fei.
This will definitely be a tough battle.
Fortunately, the other party also informed Zhang Fei that the trial will be held in the government office, not in the official office of the Criminal and Prison Department.
This is because many of the official documents in this case are in the government office, including Ayun, who is also imprisoned here, not in the Criminal and Prison Department. There are many procedures to go through when official documents are handed over.
This made Zhang Fei a little more at ease.
In his view, the government office is his home field!
But the Wei brothers are now on pins and needles. Their previous words of gratitude were just words of gratitude, and Zhang Fei never thought that Zhang Fei would accept them all at once.
This!
"Brother Zhang, how can we help you?"
Wei Aer said anxiously: "You won't let us lie?"
Wei Ada was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything, so he shrank to the side and listened attentively.
Their brothers are completely dumbfounded this time. They are the victims, and they want to testify for the perpetrator. Are you sure this is not playing black humor?
It's outrageous!
Zhang Fei smiled and comforted: "Of course not. It is illegal to make a false statement. You just need to tell the truth about the situation that night. What you said at the beginning, you will say what you said then. The rest Just leave it to me, don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”
Weaer nodded dully.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Zhang Sanlang is in the house."
Zhang Sanlang? Although Zhang Fei recognized the voice of the shop owner, he was a little puzzled because he was always called Zhang San.
"At."
Zhang Fei opened the door and saw the owner standing in front of the door, so he asked, "Is the owner doing anything?"
The shopkeeper said: "It's like this, someone booked the left wing room for you just now."
This wing room is a suite.
Zhang Fei was surprised and said, "I don't know who ordered it for me?"
The shopkeeper said: "That person has not registered, he just hopes that Zhang Sanlang can better recharge his energy and recharge his batteries, and he can clear up his grievances for Ayun tomorrow."
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei stared at the shopkeeper dumbfounded.
At this time, another young man came forward, bowed his hands and said, "May I ask you, is this Zhang Sanlang's residence?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I am."
The young man immediately presented two sets of brand new clothes with both hands, and said: "My young man ordered me to come here and give it to Zhang Sanlang."
Zhang Fei asked: "Who is your Shaolang?"
The young man said: "My young man heard that Zhang Sanlang wanted to defend Ayun, so he gave this clothes as a token of support."
Zhang Fei was dumbfounded again.
He also started to mutter in his heart, what kind of character is this Ah Yun? It's strange, there is no record in the history books about the profound background of this Ayun.
The shopkeeper seemed to see Zhang Fei's doubts, glanced at the Wei brothers in his eyes, then pulled Zhang Fei and said in a low voice: "San Lang, you don't know, in fact, many people are complaining about A Yun."
Zhang Fei asked: "Really?"
The shopkeeper said: "Of course, Ayun is a famous beauty in the county, and Wei Ada is also a famous ugly man. No one would want to marry Wei Ada. This is all about Fang Datian. To interfere with it, to fine him fifty acres of land is too little."
Zhang Fei suddenly realized.
Looking good!
It seems that since ancient times, beauty is justice!
It turned out that after the case broke out, many people were aggrieved, because Ayun was a famous beauty in the local area, and Wei Ada was a famous ugly man in the local area, and he was also an old bachelor.
It's like flowers on cow dung.
A man supports Ah Yun in his heart.
In addition to the case of Fang Datian before, everyone's sympathy for A Yun has increased a lot.
I have to say, this is a great help to Zhang Fei.
Wherever the people want, the truth will come.
"Ahem!"
Zhang Fei suddenly whispered to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, if there are any more enthusiastic people who give me support and I happen to be away, you can accept them for me one by one. We must carry forward this kind of justice." Sound."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled: "Save it! Save it!"
Zhang Fei asked again: "Where is the wing room?"
Who would refuse to live in a wing room? Zhang Fei, who is still in debt, needs this kind of support very, very much.
He is also willing to refuse.
What makes him strange is that there are many people who support him, but no one has ever sent him a maid to take care of a man's most basic needs. Isn't that what it should be.
This is really disappointing!
.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. Zhang Fei, who was at the end of his life, with the help of many righteous people, really enjoyed eating and drinking spicy food every day, and his condition improved day by day.
Today is the day of trial.
"I didn't expect such a simple case to cause a lot of trouble in the city, alas!"
Cao Yan, dressed in official uniform, walked along the corridor to the court, and said to Xu Zun beside him with emotion.
Xu Zun was only wearing ordinary clothes today, obviously showing his attitude of staying out of the matter, and gave up the home court to Cao Yan. He also heard that Cao Yan had something to say, implying that he was here to make trouble and make everyone feel uneasy. .
As far as the matter is concerned, without his support, this matter would definitely not be possible.
Xu Zun sighed, and said: "After all, human life is at stake. If you and I deprive a person of his life just because of our words, isn't it too hasty? Isn't Taizong sentencing the prison officer back then to avoid neglecting human life?" "
"Xu Zhizhou is right!" Cao Yan nodded awkwardly.
Xu Zun's words are really too poisonous. If I can judge any case, then why do you need the prison secretary? Isn't it just those "superfluous" things you mentioned to the criminal officer?
If you deny this, then you can directly disband the Prison Division.
Just at this time, there was a burst of cheers outside the courtyard, and the name "Zhang Sanlang" was faintly heard.
Cao Yan frowned and said: "No wonder that guy is confident, it turns out that he has already bewitched the hearts of the people."
Xu Zun immediately said: "Cao Tixing is right, that guy is so arrogant, he should think that this mansion is run by his family, I have nothing to do with him, I hope Cao Tixing will be able to kill him prestige."
Cao Yan really intended to give Zhang San a bad start. He wanted to test the relationship between Xu Zun and Zhang San. He was relieved when he heard what Xu Zun said.
At this moment, Xu Yuan suddenly caught up with him from behind and said, "I have just sent a letter from Tokyo to promote Zhizhou to judge Dali Temple, and I will immediately return to Beijing to take up my post."
Xu Zun asked in surprise, "Why?"
Xu Yuan glanced at Cao Yan slightly.
Suddenly, another person came forward and whispered in Cao Yan's ear.
When Cao Yan heard the words, his expression changed, and he said to Xu Zun, "I'm afraid I won't be allowed to try this case."
