Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 159 Limit 1 for 1

Chapter 159

It's no wonder that Xu Zhiqian was nervous. Although at the beginning of the year, she followed Zhang Fei to seek justice for historians through the law of her ancestors.

But that was just a criminal proceeding, and it ended up being a criminal case.

At that time, there was no direct conflict with the courtiers.

No one said threatening historians, or what, because after all, the ancestral law was just a reason to restrain the emperor, or an excuse. The courtiers used this excuse to restrict the emperor, but often it was the game of power that played a decisive role.

Moreover, Wang Anshi did not start to reform at that time.

The structure of power has not changed in the slightest.

This time is different, this time Zhang Fei is facing courtiers directly, this lawsuit is also related to the interests of the world, and it may also herald a reshuffle of power.

As long as it involves the increase or decrease of power, this is very fatal.

They even did not hesitate to kidnap Fang Yun to threaten Zhang Fei, which is evident.

No one in this lawsuit can easily view everything from the perspective of a bystander, and everyone is a person in the painting.

Since all the young officials wanted to watch the trial, Fu Bi and Han Qi were forced to have the trial in the open space in front of the Political Affairs Hall.

Although the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty was the smallest in all dynasties, the Zhengshitang was the country's highest administrative institution after all, and the open space in front was still very large.

It is enough to accommodate thousands of people.

This is really hard work for the servants of the Zhengshitang. They have already moved all night just to move the tables and chairs.

At this moment, the seats are already full, and there are even many young officials standing in the corner.

It was already full of voices and quarrels.

Apparently, this lawsuit has made the contradiction between reformers and conservatives public.

Before, everyone was fighting secretly, but now everyone is fighting openly.

You must know that this is just the beginning, and the new law has not yet been issued.

Wang Anshi, who arrived late, met Sima Guang just as he arrived at the door, but he really didn't have friends who didn't get together, so he couldn't help frowning, "I said Sima Junshi, did you send someone to follow me? Delayed for a while, came late, and I can meet you here, what a ghost."

Sima Guang snorted, "I was afraid of meeting you, so I came late, and you didn't look in the mirror. How many people hate you to the bone now, who wants to walk with you."

Wang Anshi smiled disdainfully: "Yes! Those corrupt officials all hate me."

While speaking, he pointed at Sima Guang.

"you."

Sima Guang snorted angrily: "Everyone is drunk, but you are alone, that's why you are hated."

Wang Anshi retorted: "This just proves that the path I am on is correct."

Sima Guang laughed and said: "The result of everyone hating you is that you are right. You stay with Zhang San every day, so you haven't learned superficial deduction skills?"

Wang Anshi said with a smile: "Those people inside can represent the majority? Let's go to the folks and ask."

Sima Guang said: "After your new law comes out, let's ask about it."

"You wait."

"I am waiting."

Just at this time, I suddenly heard a laugh, "You two great scholars, it's still early, why don't you go ahead and play a game first, so that I can wait for the younger generation to learn."

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi looked back, only to see Su Shi looking at them with a smile, while Su Zhe next to him was desperately suppressing his laughter.

Sima Guang lowered his brows and said: "You should also be taught to learn, but you are so open-minded. If you don't get a lesson in the court, sooner or later you will cause a big disaster."

Wang Anshi said: "Stop going to brothels, and save more money at ordinary times. If something goes wrong, you can go to Zhang San to help you file a lawsuit."

Sima Guang said: "If you don't save money, you have to go less. Look at you, you are so young that your steps are vain, and your walking is not as good as the two of us."

The smile on Su Shi's face gradually became stiff.

Su Zhe saw that his elder brother was fighting two against one, and he was a little bit helpless, so he hurried up and saluted respectfully and helped his elder brother out of trouble.

Wang Anshi glanced at Su Zhe, and said, "It is said that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, Su Zhe, why are you not crooked?"

"Official..."

Su Zhe looked at Wang Anshi awkwardly.

Sima Guang said earnestly, "Look at your brother well."

After all, the two entered the courtyard.

Su Zhe still kept the gesture of cupping his hands.

Su Shi stepped forward, "Third brother, I'm sorry, I've troubled you again for my brother."

Su Zhe turned his head to look at Su Shi, and said embarrassingly, "It's okay, I'm used to it."

Ok?

When Wang Anshi and Sima Guang appeared in the courtyard, the discussion lessened slightly, and countless eyes were cast on them.

The two of them walked side by side with a tacit understanding.

The situation of rivalry among courts has become increasingly clear.

Seeing that Wang Anshi was coming, Lu Huiqing immediately got up and bowed her hands, and asked again: "Why did your mentor come with the Sima University?"

Wang Anshi whispered: "Go and check for me to see if anyone is following me."

Lu Huiqing looked at Wang Anshi in confusion.

"I suspect that old man Sima sent someone to follow me."

After speaking, Wang Anshi sat down.

Wen Yanbo over there also asked Sima Guang curiously, "Why did you come here with Wang Jiefu?"

Sima Guang let out a long sigh: "Unfortunately, I met you at the door."

The brothers of the Su family who came in afterwards were all stunned when they saw the scene.

Such a grand event is better than a court meeting, and it can only be seen at the emperor's birthday or enthronement hall.

"So many people!"

Su Zhe said with emotion.

Su Shi nodded and said enviously: "Yes! I never thought that I could be so popular in a lawsuit. Back then when we were Jinshi in high school, we didn't have such a reputation. It's really unfair."

After a while, I saw Han Qi and Fu Bi walking out of the hall.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent.

It was silent.

Seeing Mr. Lu's writing, I feel so wronged in my heart, how could I not be so conscious as a trial judge.

Han Qi and Fu Bi walked slowly, chatting while walking.

"Fu Gong, should we teach that kid a lesson later, so that he won't be arrogant." Han Qi whispered.

Fu Bi asked, "What is Mr. Han planning to do?"

Han Qi said harshly, "Don't let him sit."

Fu Bi thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I gave it before, if we don't give it, I'm afraid it will be a shame!"

Han Qi doesn't care, can't this lawsuit stand up?But seeing Fu Bi said so, he didn't force it.

The two came to the presiding judge's seat and sat down.

Han Qi slightly led his hand towards the gavel.

Fu Bi shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Come on, I've passed the addiction last time."

Han Qi picked up the gavel, glanced at it, but no one spoke, so he put it down again, and ordered to the left and right: "Call them up."

A shout.

Fan Chunren and Qian Yi came first.

After all, they are officials, how could the little Erbi walk side by side with them in the imperial city.

Then came Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian.

Holding the documents, Xu Zhiqian had just entered the gate of the courtyard. When she saw the scene, the legendary Fu Bi and Han Qi were still sitting on it. She immediately felt her scalp go numb, her legs went limp, and she sat down.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei beside her had quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately supported her, with a disgusted look on his face: "You are too worthless, this is not the first time."

"me.."

Xu Zhiqian blushed, really suffering.

This scene was much more terrifying than she had imagined. Last time in the trial court, there were at most dozens of people at most, but this time there were thousands of people, and they were all relatives of the emperor, ministers, or ministers. There are many elders such as uncles and uncles, but she is a girl after all, and she is not afraid of going to court under the gaze of so many people.

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and snorted softly: "You will also be domineering in front of me. If you are really on the stage, you are as weak as a chicken, so hurry up and go."

At this moment, Xu Zhiqian didn't feel like arguing with Zhang Fei, she said in a low voice, "Zhang San, I can't move my foot."

Zhang Fei opened his eyes, and turned pale with shock, "Hey, hey, you can't be the big aunt coming, right? What should I do?"

"What big aunt?" Xu Zhiqian asked in astonishment.

"That's right. It's your women's menstruation."

Xu Zhiqian blushed immediately, and spat: "What are you talking about, I am just a little nervous, and my feet are a little weak."

"you."

Zhang Fei was so angry that his hair stood on end, "The fight hasn't even started yet, you just do it like this, and your morale is completely lost."

Even so, he still supported Xu Zhiqian to walk forward slowly.

What momentum?

They are simply old and weak women and children.

Fortunately, he was still thinking about whether to get a super luxurious carriage, and then hired dozens of bodyguards to run around.

But this move immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

what are they doing?

Flirting and cursing in the political affairs hall, like glue?

Does it fit?

Liu Zhao turned to Xu Zun beside him and said, "Brother Zhongtu, when will you drink Qian'er's wedding wine?"

Xu Zun has been paying attention to his daughter, very anxious in his heart, froze for a moment, and asked: "What wedding wine?"

Liu Zhaodao: "It's Qian'er and Zhang San's wedding banquet!"

Xu Zun's face pulled: "Don't talk nonsense, Qian'er is just helping, not what you think."

How could Liu Zhao believe it, "Really?"

Han Qi is also a flirtatious person, looking at this pair of Bi people, the talent and beauty of the man and woman, is actually pleasing to the eye, and he doesn't care that much.

But Fu Bi looked uncomfortable, and when they approached, he asked, "What are you doing?"

Many people laughed at this question.

Xu Zun blushed.

Xu Zhiqian almost bent her slender snow-white jade neck into a U shape.

Zhang Fei said embarrassingly: "If you go back to Fu Gong, Mrs. Xu sprained her ankle."

Han Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will give you tables and chairs, so you don't need to play these little tricks."

Zhang Fei wanted to cry but said without tears: "This time it's true."

Han Qi immediately asked: "Listen to what you said, was it a lie last time?"

"Uh."

Zhang Fei said embarrassingly: "It was true last time, but with a different person."

Fu Bi saw that Zhang Fei didn't seem to be lying, so he said, "You help Miss Xu to sit down first!"

"Thank you, Mr. Fu."

Zhang Fei quickly helped Xu Zhiqian to the side seat and sat down.

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly moved the copy forward to block herself, the more she was afraid of embarrassment, the more embarrassing she would be.

Xu Zun next to him immediately said to Liu Zhao, "Look, I'm telling you that it's not what you think, it's Qian'er who sprained her ankle."

Liu Zhao shook his head and said, "If so, it would be even worse."

Xu Zun asked anxiously, "How do you say that?"

Liu Zhao whispered: "There were many rumors before that Qian'er and Zhang San had an unusual relationship, and now they are hugging each other in full view, and all colleagues have seen it, and you plan to betroth Qian'er to Zhang San who?"

Xu Zun was dumbfounded immediately.

No wonder there hasn't even been a marriage proposal recently.

After this small episode, the majesty of the hall was completely gone.

Han Qi slapped the gavel, creating a majestic atmosphere, and said loudly: "Fan Sijian, Qian Yushi."

"The subordinate is here."

The two bowed their hands together.

Han Qi asked: "Do you have evidence to sue the Department of Regulations of the Second Mansion for violating the law of the ancestors?"

Fan Chunren said: "In answer to Mr. Han, I hope that a key witness in this case can be called to testify in court."

"witness?"

Han Qi was taken aback, there is no such link!

When Xu Zhiqian heard this, she immediately ignored her embarrassment, raised her head, and asked in a low voice, "Are there any witnesses?"

Zhang Fei looked confused and said, "I don't know either."

Han Qi also asked puzzledly, "What witness?"

Fan Chunren immediately said, "It's the Grand Scholar Wang Jiefu."

Wang Anshi was immediately dumbfounded. I had to go to court to testify. Fortunately, I was not late.

Zhang Fei got up immediately and questioned: "It was not stated in advance that the Grand Scholar Wang should be passed on as a confession."

Han Qi and Fu Bi met each other's eyes, as if they couldn't make up their minds.

Didn't say anything beforehand.

Fan Chunren smiled and said: "As Erbi, don't you know that witnesses are required to ask for confession in a lawsuit? By the way, when you helped Cao Dongdong in the lawsuit last time, you also passed in witnesses for confession. If this kind of thing is still used Have you been informed in advance?"

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Of course this kind of thing is necessary, I'm not prepared for it."

Fan Chunren asked with a smile: "Did someone tell you that no witnesses will be called in today's trial?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No."

Fan Chunren stopped talking to him, and said to Han Qi and Fu Bi: "Two presiding officers, if Master Wang doesn't come out to testify, there are some issues that we can't get a definite statement on. I hereby implore the two presiding officers to pass on the evidence to Wang. The grand maester testified in court."

Han Qi looked at Fu Bi, Fu Bi rolled his eyes, as if to say, you can make the decision.

Han Qi pondered for a while, then suddenly looked at Wang Anshi who was sitting next to him, and asked, "Will Xueshi Wang be willing to testify in court?"

Lu Huiqing immediately whispered: "Master, be careful of fraud."

Wang Anshi first glanced at Zhang Fei, saw that he was hesitant, and didn't think too much, so he nodded to Han Qi and said, "If necessary, I can testify in court."

In this case, if he refuses to agree, isn't that self-proving guilty conscience?

Besides, he, Wang Anshi, was also born for big occasions, how could he be afraid of this little Fan Chunren, even if his father came.

"and many more!"

Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Fan Chunren and Qian Wei and said, "Both of you are suing persons, so they belong to the plaintiff. Since you can interrogate University Fellow Wang, then I can also interrogate you. That's only fair."

In the courtroom, there is a huge difference between witnesses and Erbi.

Qian Wei said, "I wrote the pleadings."

Fan Chunren said: "I'm just here to fight for Qian Yushi."

Qian Wei smiled and said, "Of course you can also interrogate me."

Good guy!Play extreme one-for-one with me.Although Zhang Fei still kept a smile on his face, his heart was already filled with ten thousand muddy horses running past.
