Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 638

This is really a wave of ups and downs!

The officials of the Hezhong Mansion have not yet come out of the shadow of the tax department, but the neighbors have made such a move, which makes many officials of the Hezhong Mansion feel that since the arrival of the Public Prosecution Law, this official has become more and more tired. , lived with trepidation, not as unrestrained and unruly as before.

After leaving the imperial court, Yuan Jiang and the others did not go back to their respective homes, but went to the government office again to discuss countermeasures.

Cao Yidao: "If this matter has to be judged, it must be the fault of the Jingzhao Prefecture government, but once the imperial court makes such a sentence, it will definitely attract more people to appeal to Hezhong Prefecture, and officials from other prefectures will definitely hold grudges against us in Hezhong. government."

Wei Yingfang nodded repeatedly, "It's a pity that the prefect Lu is unwilling to bring those people back to Jingzhao Mansion."

In fact, he still hopes to limit the development of the public security law, at least until the court comes out with results.

Han Jiang naturally knew what they meant, but he actually hoped that the public prosecutor's law would be enforced, because he knew very well that the public prosecutor's law contributed to the success of Hezhong Mansion, but the conservatives in the DPRK and China were aggressive and thought it was all the public prosecutor's law. If they are allowed to succeed, the New Deal may fall short.

Therefore, Han Jiang and the others planned to take all the credit for themselves first, and felt a little guilty in their hearts, so they wanted to help Zhang Fei secretly, saying: "If the people are still in Jingzhao Mansion, Lu Zhifu may send them back again. , and give them justice, but those people have already set foot in the Hezhong Mansion and are protected by the Royal Police. The procuratorate there also knows about it. Even if Zhang San is willing, Lu Zhifu will not dare. Prefect, this matter is big or small!"

Cai Yanqing nodded frequently.

If it was him, he would not dare to do this. Although this kind of thing is very normal, everyone knows it well, but after all, the law does not allow this to happen. Bringing people back is extremely risky.

Han Jiang looked at Yuan Jiang again, "Brother Hou, what do you think?"

Yuan Jiang stroked his beard and said, "Prefect Lu doesn't want to get into this muddy water now, so why should we take the initiative to intervene, it's just causing us trouble."

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Wei Yingfang and the others, "You are all mud bodhisattvas crossing the river now, you can't protect yourself, and you still have the mood to worry about others."

Wei Yingfang's heart shuddered, "What does Bachelor Yuan say?"

Yuan Jiang said: "Have you forgotten that for those illegal tax evasion activities, the procuratorate only said that they will not pursue them for the time being, and did not say that they will never be investigated, unless the government improves the system to prevent such phenomena from happening again."

Ouch!Almost forgot about it.

Wei Yingfang and the others immediately realized it, but they had no idea about it, so they couldn't help but look at Yuan Jiang.

Cai Yanqing also asked: "Does Bachelor Yuan have any countermeasures?"

After pretending to think for a while, Yuan Jiang said, "If you want to prevent this kind of phenomenon, you have to let go of the wine system."

"what?"

Everyone was taken aback.

If you let go, will the wine tax still be collected?

Han Jiang asked: "Could it be that brother Hou used the tax department to tax this wine from the total income?"

"This is just a part of the charge."

"Part of it."

"Ah."

Yuan Jiang nodded: "I plan to use the new policy to replace the rush-buying system. Simply put, it is to promote the Changping Division to cooperate with several major wine merchants in Hezhong Prefecture, and invest the excess young crop money in wine making to earn more money. Much profit."

Having said that, he asked them again: "What do you think?"

The officials agreed without hesitation for too long.

This method, in their opinion, is to transfer the liquor tax revenue to the New Deal. In the past, no one would have agreed to this, but now it is different. Now the Public Security Bureau and the Taxation Department are the number one enemies. They all hope to use the New Deal It is in everyone's interest to get rid of the public security law and add achievements to the New Deal.

The key point is to make it clear that the government will cooperate with several big wine merchants, and of course these big wine merchants also have some of their interests, and they also think that this will not hinder their actual interests.

Of course, they never imagined that this was Zhang Fei and Yuan Jiang's plan again, because in everyone's eyes, Zhang Fei is simply the spokesperson of the public security law, and he must be confronting the new policy. How could it be possible to make suggestions for the new policy everywhere? There is no reason to see through Zhang Fei and Yuan Jiang's activities.

Even start over from scratch for them.

But this also makes them really have no time to take care of the people of Jingzhao Mansion. In fact, what Yuan Jiang said is quite right. Lu Gongru himself is not willing to take this responsibility. What are they doing here? clean.

Over there, Ma Xiaoyi had already escorted the people of Jingzhao Mansion to the outside of Hezhong Mansion, just in order not to affect the public security in the city, so he placed them in a very interesting place.

This place is the new prison.

At present, it is still under construction, but many houses have been built.

The people of Jingzhao Mansion never imagined that they would live in prison as soon as they came here. The key point is that the newly built prison is quite different from the prison they know.

It's safe to live.

After learning about this, Fan Zhen rushed here with law students to provide them with legal aid. At almost the same time, Su Zhe also brought a group of law students here.

"Send people here in such a hurry, doesn't it mean that Ziyou doesn't trust Lao Zhuo?" Fan Zhen said with feigned dissatisfaction when he met Su Che not long after he arrived.

"How dare! How dare!" Su Zhe hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't blame the old man, this is Su Zhe's responsibility."

"Ha ha!"

Fan Zhen Fuxu smiled and said: "Of course this old man knows it, but judging from the current situation, this is not a big case. I have asked many people just now, and most of them came because of the extinction of the household tax. Our legal aid The department can arrange it, and your procuratorate doesn't need to spend too much energy on it."

If it's that simple, then that's fine. If our procuratorate doesn't show up, then why would they feel scared.Su Zhe said with a smile: "Although that is the case, the legal aid department is not able to deal with the forces involved behind it. Only when the procuratorate is in charge can we be able to justify our name and bring those murderers to justice."

Fan Zhen thinks about it too. If he really wants to sue, he must summon the relevant officials of the Jingzhao Mansion, but their Legal Aid Department is a bit powerless in this regard, and the Procuratorate has the absolute right to do so, and it is even more famous.Suddenly looked at Su Zhe, "Bring to the law?"

Su Zhe frowned slightly, "What do you think, Mr. Fan?"

Fan Zhen shook his head and sighed: "Frozen three feet is not a day's cold, this matter is difficult!"

At this point, he changed the subject, "But the responsibility lies, so you shouldn't think too much about it, just ask for a clear conscience."

Su Zhe cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Fan, for your guidance."

Fan Zhen said with a smile: "The green is better than the blue because of the blue, I'm afraid you kid already have a countermeasure."

Su Zhe just shook his head with a wry smile, thinking, I'm just playing by ear.

"Drive."

I saw a carriage galloping to the junction of Hezhong Mansion and Huayin County.

"Shut up!"

The groom stopped the carriage slowly, and an attendant drove forward, dismounted immediately, and came to the door of the carriage, "Master! We have arrived at the ferry."

But when the old man got off the car, it wasn't Lu Gongru who it was.

If such a big incident happened, he must rush back to Jingzhao Mansion immediately to preside over the overall situation.

"Is the boat arranged?" Lu Gongru asked as he walked.

"Everything has been arranged!"

"Ah."

Knowing that everything was ready, Lu Gongru immediately quickened his pace and came to the river. Just as he was about to board the boat, he stopped suddenly and recalled one thing in his mind, that is a book written by his elder brother Lu Gong. Letter after letter.

"No! No!"

Lu Gongru suddenly muttered to himself.

The entourage at the side saw it, and couldn't help saying: "Master, you."

As soon as the words came out, Lu Gongru raised his hand to interrupt him, "I've been fooled, I've been fooled, with his behavior, how could he allow me to take those people back? Let the people of Hezhong Mansion question the public prosecutor's law. Therefore, he knows that under such circumstances, I will never take those people back, so that's why he said that. In other words, he has already thought about how to deal with this matter. Then he How will he deal with it? Will he openly hear the case as usual, and then use the method of compensation to return justice to those people? If so, why should he play this show with me?"

He blinked, stood there blankly for a long while, and suddenly laughed, "Well, you brat, you are just playing a game of retreating with the old man, damn it, the old man almost fell in love with you Dang. What brother said is really accurate. This kid is more cunning than a fox. He can always seek self-interest under the banner of fairness and justice, and even make people suffer. I should have thought a long time ago, how could this kid not I would like to see the public prosecutor go to Jingzhao Mansion. But... But how should I deal with it? Should I pretend not to know, or...!"

After a while, he suddenly turned around and walked towards the carriage, "I won't go back."

"what?"

The attendant was taken aback, and immediately followed, "Master, where shall we go first?"

Lu Gongru said: "Temporarily stay at the nearby post."

"Master, this inn is messy, why not...!"

"No, just stay at the station."

After Lu Gongru said, he got into the carriage, sat in the carriage, and said with a smile: "Although this boy is hateful, what he does is also what I want. Why don't I help him. Brother is right. Dealing with this boy is not easy. A thing that should be worth being happy will also become very uncomfortable. It is exactly the same as what was written in the letter. In the future, when the public prosecutor goes to Jingzhao Mansion, I have to learn from that prefect Cai, and I don’t ask about things outside the window. .”

"what?"

Zhang Fei looked sideways at Dagou, "You said that Lu Zhifu stayed at the post near the ferry and did not return to Jingzhao Mansion."

Big Dog nodded, "Yes."

Zhang Fei couldn't help thinking, it seems that he has noticed my intention, but which side will he stand on?No, he has no choice. There is no shortage of witnesses and evidence. Our public prosecutors have absolute initiative. If he wants to calm down, he will only get himself into it. If he wants to fight against me, no, he is supporting Bachelor Sima. It will still focus on the overall situation.

At this moment, Li Si came to the door, "Third Brother, Mr. Su Xiao and Mr. Fan are here."

"I'll be right back."

Zhang Fei stood up and ordered the dog in a low voice, "Send someone to monitor Lu Zhifu closely."

The big dog hehe said: "He lives in the post station, it's hard for us not to monitor him."

Zhang Fei chuckled, and said, "Don't get carried away."

After saying that, he went back to the imperial court.

Fan Zhen and Su Zhe came here today, of course they came here for the refugees in Jingzhao Mansion, and they have obtained evidence from those people.

"Wow, I didn't expect their evidence to be quite complete! There are tax bills and land deeds."

Zhang Fei couldn't help looking at Fan Zhen and Su Zhe again, "Isn't this what you two asked them to prepare?"

According to the law, the land tax should be paid as much as the land deed, but the land tax stated in the tax bill is twice the tax on the land on the land deed.

Based on this alone, this lawsuit must have an advantage.

Su Zhe didn't make a sound, but there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and he thought, didn't he arrange it?

"Of course not. It's only a few days. Even if we think about it, it's still not enough time." Fan Zhen shook his head and said, "To tell the truth, Chief Judge Zhang, I was also curious about this point. They seemed to be prepared. , So I also asked those people, according to what they said, someone from Hezhong Mansion told them, which is reasonable, after all, the two places are separated by a river. "

"I see."

Zhang Fei nodded, and said: "These evidences alone are enough to file a lawsuit, but after all, this is just a one-sided statement, and the other side is the government. Our imperial court must be cautious. It should be in the investigation stage at present. How about it, Prosecutor Su Sir, you first summon the relevant officials in the name of the procuratorate to come here for investigation, and after confirming the confessions of both parties, the imperial court will decide whether to hold a trial."

Su Zhe nodded, "It should be so."

As far as the procedure is concerned, now that the procuratorate has taken over the case, it should be that the procuratorate should first send those officials to accept the investigation, and then formally file a lawsuit.

Fan Zhen suddenly asked, "What if they don't come?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Old Mr. Fan, you forgot that if you don't come, you can be judged directly. It's them who lose, not us."

Fan Zhen was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and said, "Yes! Yes! I almost forgot about this method."

This method is very ruthless. The officials could have used the official business as an excuse to drag it on. If there is no sentence, then the imperial court will not be able to arrest people, but if it is sentenced, it will be another matter. Then You are not a suspect, but a criminal, this is terrible!

Last time I went back to the Hezhong government office, I suffered this loss.

However, the procuratorate's subpoena has just been sent out, and someone from Jingzhao Mansion has already come, and the two places are adjacent. For such a big event, Jingzhao Mansion soon received news that the person who came was the county magistrate of Lantian County. Guo Gang, but he came to Hezhong Mansion in disguise, because the government has to follow procedures when passing through the border.

Just after crossing the river, he knew that Lu Gongru was at the post station nearby, so Guo Gang rushed over immediately.

"Prefect Lu, why are you here?"

After saluting, Guo Gang asked curiously again.

Lu Gongru said: "I wanted to go back, but when I got here, I knew that you had rushed over, so I am waiting for you here."

Guo Gang immediately called Qu: "Prefect Lu, we have been wronged!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Gongru said, "I know, so I have no intention of blaming you."

After Guo Gang heard this, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but his eyes flashed with confusion, so he asked in a low voice: "I heard that the imperial court also planned to return those people to Lu Zhifu?"

Lu Gongru nodded, thinking, it seems that he has already met the officials of Hezhong Mansion.

Guo Gang said: "Why doesn't the prefect of Lu...?"

Lu Gongru said: "Because this is not allowed by the rules. If I take them back, I may be impeached. The current situation in the court and China is unclear, and I don't know if this is a trap. So don't blame me for being selfish."

"Don't dare! I don't intend to offend you. If there is any offence, I hope that Lu Zhifu will forgive me." Guo Gang hastily clasped his fists and said, "Then what should we do now?"

Lu Gongru said: "Currently, the Legal Aid Administration and the Procuratorate have launched an investigation on this case. Half an hour ago, I heard that the Procuratorate had sent summons to the relevant officials, asking them to come to the Procuratorate for investigation."

Guo Gang said indignantly, "Why does the Public Procuratorate of Hezhong Prefecture issue a subpoena to our Jingzhao Prefecture officials?"

Lu Gongru said: "The imperial court is the imperial court of Hezhong Mansion, but the chief judge is the chief judge of Shaanxi Road, and the same is true for the procuratorate, so they have the right to do so."

How could Guo Gang not know, he was deliberately testing Lu Gongru, and asked cautiously: "If we ignore them, what can they do?"

Lu Gongru said: "I have also considered this point, and the officials of the Hezhong Mansion have tried it. Although there is no problem if they ignore the imperial court, as long as the evidence is sufficient, the imperial court can still issue a verdict. One party is not present.

I also said just now that the imperial court has the right to judge any case on Shaanxi Road. Once the imperial court makes a verdict, for the imperial court, the other party is guilty and must be punished. We will suffer only from ourselves! "

Guo Gang asked a little anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

Lu Gongru said: "Just let them rest assured. If it's just because of the extinct household tax, I can guarantee that they will be fine. Because of this kind of thing, everyone is helpless. Be fair, but you will never punish those officials for this."

Logically speaking, Guo Gang was very happy for Lu Gongru to give such a guarantee, but he was a little hesitant.

Lu Gongru sized him up, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't have other things to hide from me, do you?"

"Ah? No, no. How dare I be an official." Guo Gang hurriedly said.

"Really do not have?"

"No no."

Guo Gang shook his head.

"It's better not to." Lu Gongru said: "If there are other things, then I can't protect you."

"Yes."

Guo Gang nodded, "Then I'll go back first."

Lu Gongru nodded, "Let them come to Hezhong Mansion for investigation as soon as possible, and don't do stupid things, lest they regret it too late."

"The next official understands, and the next official says goodbye."

"Go ahead."

After Guo Gang exited the house, Lu Gongru smiled and shook his head, muttering to himself: "The water at the source is turbid, and the river itself is hard to be clear."

Tokyo Bianliang.

Wangfu.

"Ugh."

Wang Anshi put down the secret letter in his hand, he couldn't help feeling remorse, sighed a long time, and said with emotion: "I, Wang Anshi, really learned the way of a sage in vain!"

Lu Huiqing who was beside her was taken aback when she heard it, and said, "Where did your mentor say that?"

Wang Anshi shook his head and sighed: "I, Wang Anshi, have tried to treat a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain over and over again. Isn't it a waste of learning the way of a saint?"

Lu Huiqing asked suspiciously: "Men, what did Han Xueshi write in his letter?"

"Look for yourself." Wang Anshi handed the letter to Lu Huiqing.

Lu Huiqing took it and saw that it was a letter written by Han Jiang, telling about the financial situation of Hezhong Prefecture and the decisive role of the New Deal in it. Although it looked like a simple work report, it was actually telling Wang Anshi that they would never fail.

However, Han Jiang also specifically wrote about Zhang Fei, saying that Zhang Fei fully supported this, and also made suggestions to transfer this part of the credit to the New Deal.

After Lu Huiqing read it, she also guessed what Wang Anshi was referring to, "The teacher refers to Zhang San?"

Wang Anshi nodded, and he was very puzzled and said: "Actually, as a teacher, you can use people without suspicion, but you don't need to use people with suspicion, but I don't know why, I always have some doubts about Zhang San's behavior."

At the beginning, when the public security and the law showed their power, the government praised the New Deal and stole the limelight of the New Deal. This made Wang Anshi very unhappy, and this created the confrontation between Hezhong Mansion and Jingdong East Road.

The key point was that Zhang Fei sent him a letter at that time, persuading him to wait for the public prosecutor to go to Jingdong East Road together. , the success of the Public Security Bureau is due to Zhang Fei's contribution.

He hasn't written a letter to Zhang Fei recently, and at the same time secretly asked Han Jiang to keep an eye on him.

Lu Huiqing immediately said: "Actually, this is no wonder to my teacher. The law of public prosecution was completely established by Zhang San, and he maintained a close relationship with Bachelor Sima. Now that the situation in the court has changed, and his behavior is full of weirdness, my teacher has something to do with him." It is natural to be skeptical."

Wang Anshi said: "But the facts have proved that Zhang San is only thinking about me, I am really ashamed of him!"

Lu Huiqing didn't know what to say, so she just said, "Then we can't disappoint Zhang San's kindness."

"Don't worry, I won't be soft-hearted because of this." Wang Anshi nodded, and said: "You go and prepare, I will have to jump up and down in Sima Guang's anger, he must have never thought that what I want is not just a Competing, but killing."

"The student will take his leave first."

Lu Huiqing nodded.

"Go!"

Wang Anshi nodded.

After Lu Huiqing left, Wang Anshi couldn't help holding his forehead, "It's really strange, Zhang San has helped me many times, why can't I trust him like I trust Jifu."

Within two days, Zhang Fei's secret letter arrived.

This time Wang Anshi really opened the letter with excitement.

The first half of the letter is about the same thing as Han Jiang, and it is also about how much growth the New Deal has brought to the finances, but it is more detailed and more reasonable than what Han Jiang said. After all, it was Zhang Fei's design to promote Changping. , he is naturally the clearest.

So dedicated, I almost didn't see Wang Anshi's tears.

Moving!

So impressed!

But when he saw the second half, Wang Anshi's expression gradually became solemn, and he was even a little nervous. His hands holding the letter began to tremble, "Conspiracy? Is this the conspiracy of that Sima kid?"
