Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 96: This law is illegal
Actually, Feng Nanxi did not completely trust Zhang Fei. After all, they had known each other for less than an hour, but because of what Zhang Fei had done before, he had a good impression of Zhang Fei. He chose to believe in Zhang Fei.
So he didn't mean to let the brothers all run to live in Zhang Fei's house, but he asked Long Shan to send Zhang Fei and Gao Wenyin back first, so as not to reveal his flaws, and after two days, he went to see the situation by himself.
As for Shi Tingxiu and Niu Beiqing, they are outside support.
It is said to be support, but in fact it is to guard against Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei is very clear in his heart, but he doesn't care because he has already decided to take over the lawsuit.
After leaving the ruined temple, Zhang Fei realized that he was in Hexi, the outer city.
......
"Brother Zhang!"
"Brother Zhang!"
.....
As soon as I returned to Bianhe Street, I heard shouts everywhere.
"I'm here."
"Is it Brother Zhang?"
"Yes."
"Brother Zhang is here."
"I found Brother Zhang."
.....
After a while, I saw a galloping horse galloping towards him. It was the idle man beside Cao Dongdong, Taozi.
"Brother Zhang San, where are you going, but it's easy for us to find!"
"I went to the outer city for a walk to get rid of the alcohol." After speaking, Zhang Fei asked again: "What happened?"
Taozi immediately told Zhang Fei the reason.
It turned out that it was Xu Zhiqian who saw that Zhang Fei hadn't returned, so she sent someone to the Baifan Building to inquire. Only after this questioning did she find out that Zhang Fei had left long ago.
Xu Zhiqian panicked immediately.
That kid has too many enemies, and he was plotted against last time.
Fan Zheng, Cao Dongdong, and Ma Xiaoyi were also afraid of Zhang Fei's accident, so they also sent people to look around.
Zhang Fei asked Taozi to go back and inform Cao Dongdong, and he went back to his home in a carriage.
As soon as I got off the carriage, I saw Xu Zhiqian walking quickly.
When he saw Zhang Fei, he was so angry that his brows stood on end.
"Stop it!"
Zhang Fei hurriedly raised his hand, and said solemnly: "From now on, I will listen to you. If you point to the east, I will never go west. Today I finally proved that you are really a witch." , I am completely convinced."
Xu Zhiqian was confused when she heard that, when her red lips were slightly parted, she suddenly saw another beautiful young woman walking out of the carriage, she couldn't help being taken aback, "Who is she?"
Zhang Fei looked back at Gao Wenyin, then said to Xu Zhiqian: "Let's go back to the house and talk about it!"
Xu Zhiqian glanced at the young woman, knowing what might have happened, and said: "Why don't you go to my house and tell my father that you are safe."
Zhang Fei said: "Have you disturbed En Gong?"
Xu Zhiqian was furious: "It's a shame that you still have the face to say, I sent someone to the Baifan Building to inquire, and Fan Dalang said that you have been away for more than an hour. Look, it's almost dawn today. Can I not tell my dad?"
The fifth watch has passed long ago, but it is the time of the cold winter, so the genius is dim.
"Thank you, Mrs. Xu, for your concern." Zhang Fei said sincerely.
It was so late that Xu Zhiqian sent someone to inquire, which proved that she hadn't slept and was waiting to come back.
Xu Zhiqian snorted, "Who cares about you?"
"I'm very sorry anyway."
Zhang Fei said again: "Okay! Let's go to your house first! I happen to have something to discuss with En Gong, uh...but wait a minute, I'll take a shower and change clothes."
Xu Zhiqian realized that Zhang Fei was dirty, so she nodded, "Then I'll go and tell my father first."
After Xu Zhiqian left, Zhang Fei first asked Li Si to settle down with Gao Wenyin, then he took a hasty bath, changed his clothes, and then went to Xu's residence.
When he came to Xu's mansion, he told Xu Zun and Xu Zhiqian truthfully about what happened tonight. In terms of official business, he usually would not hide the Xu family's father and daughter, because the Xu family's father and daughter were the ones who lived in the Northern Song Dynasty. The only one you can trust completely.
Xu Zhiqian's envious temperament began to flare up again, "I never thought that the transshipment company has become so corrupt. To get a few thousand taels, to sacrifice a few innocent lives, this is simply devoid of conscience."
Xu Zun also frowned, his face sullen, and he nodded straightly: "Qian'er is right. This is no longer corruption, but murder for money. This must be strictly investigated."
Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "Grandfather, can this be found out?"
Xu Zun was stunned, "If the investigation has not started yet, how will we know the result?"
Zhang Fei said: "I heard from them that this incident is not uncommon in our court, and it must have happened before. I wonder if it is better to investigate?"
Xu Zun didn't make a sound.
Xu Zhiqian said bluntly: "In the beginning, the imperial court asked the rich households to **** the official bank. The purpose was to prevent the guards from stealing themselves. However, due to accidents on the way, the confiscation of the property of the rich households did happen from time to time. But like this It is very rare for an official to steal his own money and kill himself.”
Zhang Fei said: "If I hadn't been kidnapped by them today, I'm afraid this would be what Mrs. Xu said often happens."
Xu Zhiqian nodded lightly, "That's true, there must be a lot of grievances hidden in it."
Speaking of the latter, she couldn't help but sighed.
It's a well-known fact.
Xu Zundao: "Since this matter has been exposed, the sky net has been restored, and it is not leaking. As long as the government seriously investigates, it should be able to find some clues."
Zhang Fei asked: "Grandfather, is this sure to be found?"
Xu Zun was taken aback for a moment: "No one can guarantee this."
This is not a simple civil criminal case. It also involves the government and the Transshipment Department. This department is really complicated and involves many interests. It has become a cancer in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Then once an investigation is launched, it is not a simple case investigation, but a power game.
It takes wisdom.
Zhang Fei asked again: "What if you can't find it?"
Xu Zun frowned and remained silent.
If you can't find it, then you can still do this.
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Zhang San, do you have other plans?"
Xu Zun also looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously.
Zhang Fei said: "This matter involves the transshipment department, and it happens frequently. If we follow the vine, a large number of people may be caught. Then these people must do their best to prevent the investigation, and they are already the villains who first complained and occupied First opportunity. I am worried that if no evidence is found, everything will be irreparable, not only they may go to jail, but I may also be tired by them."
It is said that this kind of thing often happens, so one can imagine how dark it is, and the court itself is one of the culprits. to sell.
The left hand checks the right hand, can Zhang Fei believe it?
And Zhang Fei is really very afraid of this.
Because he was arrested and imprisoned for a few months when he first came here, and he almost died inside. Others really can't feel that kind of despair.
Xu Zhiqian knew what Zhang Fei was worried about, so she frowned and said, "But there is no other way."
Zhang Fei said: "Investigating cases is not something we are good at. The key is that it is out of our control. Once we start investigating the case, it means that our lives will be dragged by them, and then we can only resign ourselves to fate. This is the last The best way is to go to court."
Xu Zun did not have the power to investigate the case, and Kaifeng County and the state capitals along the way were the ones to investigate.
And when Xu Zun faced a huge bureaucracy, he was also insignificant.
Zhang Fei can only wait for the result.
But in Zhang Fei's view, this is a very dangerous thing.
Xu Zun was puzzled and said: "This is a case of corruption and murder. Even if you want to sue, you must first find out the evidence. There is no way."
"Not necessarily."
Zhang Fei said: "If we can avoid this corruption case and sue the imperial court directly, then there is no need to investigate."
"What?"
The father and daughter of the Xu family were all shocked.
Good guy!
It's really shocking and endless!
Are you crazy?
Xu Zun asked cutely: "What are you suing the court for?"
Zhang Fei said: "Let's assume that this is really a shipwreck, so can the court really confiscate the other party's property directly, and even use the other party's wife as an official servant?"
Xu Zun sighed: "There are provisions in this regard in the Service Law."
Zhang Fei said: "But is this regulation legal?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "This is determined by the imperial court, so it is naturally legal!"
"Not necessarily." Zhang Fei shook his head.
Xu Zhiqian was surprised and said, "Not necessarily?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while, "I already have some ideas about this, but I still need to check it out. But if you want to avoid investigation, you can only call this law illegal. Since you are suing this law, you can only sue The imperial court, because this law is determined by the imperial court."
The logic is very careful, but the law is illegal?
Xu Zhiqian was at a loss, "How do I sue?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "You just have to remember, as Erbi, there is nothing you cannot sue, and of course you can sue the law."
Xu Zun was also confused when he heard it, and said: "But no one has ever sued the court, so I don't know whether this is allowed or not."
Although there is no legal requirement for people to sue officials, there are precedents. There is no precedent for suing the court.
"Since there is no rule that it is not allowed, then it is allowed by default." Zhang Fei said: "The key point is that I heard that some people in the imperial court have always pointed out that there are many shortcomings in the current labor law and need to be improved."
It was only then that Xu Zun realized that this kid was not aimless, but wanted to repeat the same old tricks. Taking advantage of Wang Anshi's shareholder style, this is not impossible. He nodded and said: "I know what you mean, but the reform is the reform. They may allow you to make such a fuss, but most likely they will not judge the court to lose, after all, this is not an isolated case, they have to take care of the overall situation."
Zhang Fei said: "I don't want the court to admit defeat, I want to force the court to find out the real culprit."
Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up, "It turns out that you are going to ask for a lot of money, and pay back the money on the spot!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Exactly."
Xu Zun couldn't turn his head around, so he had to calm down and think about it carefully, so he said: "This matter must be cautious, anyway, the government is currently on vacation, and you can't sue, so think about it carefully. "
"Yes."
Zhang Fei nodded.
"Also, please write me a letter of warrant first, so as not to be accused of harboring criminals."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Benefactor is still considerate, I will write later."
After the talk, Xu Zun went back to his room to rest, and he was kept up all night by the trouble. Fortunately, he is on vacation now, and he doesn't need to work tomorrow.
"Hoo...."
Zhang Fei collapsed on the chair and suddenly looked at Xu Zhiqian: "Do I want to serve too?"
Xu Zhiqian was taken aback for a moment, "Usually you need it, but you can also hire someone to serve on your behalf."
Zhang Fei said: "If something happens, will my property still be confiscated?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded.
Of course, with Xu Zun around, this probably wouldn't happen.
However, Xu Zhiqian is not easy to say clearly.
Zhang Fei sighed, "You are right!"
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously.
Zhang Fei sighed: "In the court, I am not afraid of anyone, but if they want to punish me, they really have too many means. If I am not careful, I may be like that Shi Dalang, and the whole family will suffer. Alas. ..You still have to gain power and status, if you can't even save your life, what's the deal."
Compared to the case of Li Siyi, this case had a greater impact on him, because Li Si took the initiative to borrow usury, but Chen Yuteng was a little too ruthless, and you can't hide from this matter. Unless you are privileged.
Xu Zhiqian said angrily: "My father wanted to recommend you before, but you refused."
"Now I will too! But..." Zhang Fei frowned and said, "It's just that I have to seriously consider this path, maybe this case is an opportunity."
"Third brother!"
Li Si ran in suddenly, "Third Brother, Cao Yanei and the others are here to congratulate you."
Zhang Fei was puzzled and said, "What kind of joy do you want?"
"Happy newlyweds."
"Huh?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help but look at Xu Zhiqian in embarrassment.
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips, and when she saw him, she smiled and said, "Look at me." She said, "But for the time being, you have to deal with it, don't startle the snake."
"Yes?"
Zhang Fei was very angry and said: "I bought her, why should she be fake. Yes, they should congratulate them. How many gifts did they bring?"
"I don't seem to have one."
"...!"
