Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 147

Chapter 147

Wang Anshi had calculated thousands of times, but he didn't realize that the start of his new law actually started with a lawsuit.

When he said it, he didn't believe it himself.

But it can also be seen from this that Fu Bi's words are actually very reasonable.

Some things, once you set a precedent, others will inevitably follow.

When Zhang Fei sued the court, you, Wang Anshi, also had plausible arguments, so now you must also accept this request.

In the same way, if you Wang Anshi is for the country and the people, the censor can't oppose you, then in the future, whoever forms a party for personal gain, the censor can't object.

Everything has two sides, and the two sides of politics are highly sensitive, and side effects are bound to appear. Even if one side can bring you many benefits, you must consider how many disadvantages the other side will bring.

Unless it is at the time of survival, otherwise, most politicians would rather have less benefits and minimize the side effects on the other side, because the key to politics is still stability.

Because from the perspective of the people, this good policy is a matter of course, but at the same time they refuse to accept the side effects.

But any policy has advantages and disadvantages. There is no perfect policy in the world. As a result, when many decisions are made, people do not understand. This problem is so simple, I can solve it, why don’t you do it, it’s them I don't think about it very much. Solving this problem may cause more serious problems.

The issue of redundant officials is as simple as laying off people, but who can guarantee that Li Zicheng will not be fired as well.

In fact, "prevent things for them, and control them for music" refers to this point.

The core is the "policy of preventing fraud", rather than saying that you are aggressive, bold and bold, and ride the wind and waves.

The matter has come to this point, Wang Anshi can only accept it, so after leaving the hall, he immediately ran to Zhang Fei with Lu Huiqing.

Zhang Fei, a pawn, suddenly became very important.

After Xu Zhiqian saluted Wang Anshi, she tactfully withdrew.

"Stinky boy, I have been harmed by you this time!"

After sitting down, Wang Anshi sighed bitterly.

Really good at talking, everyone was working together for a win-win situation before, if something goes wrong, just help me?Zhang Fei muttered something in his heart, but at the same time he felt very surprised. He also had a complaining tone: "Scholar Wang, no. No, can you allow them to go to court?"

Wang Anshi was embarrassed and remained silent.

Lu Huiqing explained: "They took your lawsuit and kept attacking their mentor, and even brought in the officials, implying that if the imperial court does not give Qian Yi a chance to go to court, then the officials will be based on your lawsuit. The law of the ancestors will also be questioned."

Zhang Fei frowned upon hearing this, thinking to himself, it seems that I have decided to take the blame.

Seeing that he seemed not very confident, Wang Anshi immediately asked, "Are you sure of victory?"

"Me." Zhang Fei sighed: "I made it very clear to Lu Xiaokan at the time that this courtroom is like a battlefield, and anything can happen. Grand Maester's promise."

Wang Anshi asked, "Then do you have the certainty of victory?"

Zhang Fei pondered for a while, "This lawsuit is actually very beneficial to Master Wang, because today's ancestral law can be interpreted in any way, and they are the offensive side, and we are the defensive side. As far as we are concerned, as long as you don’t lose, you win. In a fair environment, I don’t think I will lose this lawsuit. Of course, this also has to consider who will hear the case? If they protect each other, then I will also There is no way."

"Not sure yet."

Wang Anshi thought for a while, "But it is impossible for me to try this case."

Zhang Fei asked: "Could it be Sima University?"

"his words!"

Before Wang Anshi could come to a conclusion, Lu Huiqing suddenly said, "I don't think it's very likely."

Zhang Fei asked: "Why?"

Lu Huiqing said: "Because if you lose, it will affect the prestige of Bachelor Sima in the court."

"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded slightly.

Sima Guang is currently the only one in the court who can compete with Wang Anshi. Whether it is age, prestige, or seniority, the key is that Sima Guang also has the ability to reform.

However, Sima Guang had already lost to Zhang Fei once before, and if he lost again, it would be a big blow to Sima Guang's status in the court.

But litigation is not what Sima Guang is good at.

Then, out of protection for him, he probably won't be allowed to show up.

"Who would that be?"

Zhang Fei asked again.

Lu Huiqing said: "I still think Fu Gong has the best chance."

Wang Anshi also nodded, "If the case hadn't been for Fu Gong and Zhao Xiang, it wouldn't have gone to court, but Zhao Xiang is in charge of the admonishment court, and many admonishers are also involved in it, so it shouldn't be allowed to come to trial. It would be relatively fair for Fu Gong to judge."

Lu Huiqing warned: "Zhang San, Mr. Fu is old and strong. His eloquence is no less than that of his mentor and Bachelor Sima. You have to be careful."

"Anyone who faces Fu Gong would dare not be careless." Zhang Fei smiled wryly, and asked again: "Will the other party invite someone to plead?"

Lu Huiqing shook her head and said: "Probably not. In terms of eloquence and intelligence, among Erbi's people, except you, who can compare to them and these censors."

"Censor?"

Zhang Fei just smiled dismissively.

Wang Anshi asked with a smile: "What? You still don't like their censors?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "In the courtroom, I really look down on it. I will not allow my major to lose to other people's hobbies."

Wang Anshi hehe said: "With your words, I feel relieved."

Although Zhang Fei didn't give him a guarantee of victory, he also saw that Zhang Fei just didn't want to take responsibility, but he still had a lot of confidence.

Then they talked about the details of the whole case, especially about Yushi's court defense habits. In Zhang Fei's view, court defense is different from litigation, so how to make good use of this point is also very important .

The three of them discussed for over an hour before Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing went back.

As soon as they left, Xu Zhiqian slipped back.

"Is it really going to court?"

Xu Zhiqian also found this incredible!

"Ah."

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian was a little nervous and said, "Then are you sure you can win?"

Zhang Fei asked, "Why are you so nervous?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "I also support Bachelor Wang's reform."

Woman, you are still too young!Compared with the problems to be faced later, this problem is now at the kindergarten level.Zhang Fei smiled lightly and said, "Actually, in this kind of lawsuit, the public says the public is right, and the mother-in-law says the woman is right. I am on the defensive side, and I have an advantage. It is impossible for me to lose."

With Xu Zhiqian, there is no need to hide it.

Xu Zhiqian said: "Then we have to be careful, let's go back and get ready."

Zhang Fei originally wanted to say that this lawsuit was just a continuation of the previous one, and the law of his ancestors was that he could set the tone, so there was no need to prepare as before, but when he saw the weather, he thought that Xu Zun was going home soon, and he I still have to find Xu Zun to find out more about the specific boundaries of the imperial system and laws.

So the two immediately set off home.

Just as she got off the carriage, she saw Feng Nanxi coming out in a hurry.

"It's great that Engong is back. I'm going to find you."

"Why do you want me?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Now he is on the cusp of the storm, he is also afraid of the wind and the grass!

Feng Nanxi said: "Just now a person came and said he wanted to ask you to file a lawsuit."

That Niu Beiqing squeezed forward, winking and said: "Grandfather, that guy is also carrying a big box, which seems to be money."

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian looked at each other tacitly.

"Go in and have a look."

When I came to the courtyard, I saw a man in his thirties, dressed in brocade clothes, sitting in the hall.

Seeing them coming in, the man stood up, looked at Zhang Fei again, and then walked out quickly.

"This must be Zhang Sanlang."

"Uh yes."

Zhang Fei looked at this person very strangely.

"I'm next, Chen Shen."

"I don't know if your Excellency will come to the door, what advice do you have?" Zhang Fei asked, clasping his hands.

Chen Shen excitedly said: "I take the liberty of visiting today, in order to ask Zhang Sanlang to save my father's life."

Zhang Fei asked: "Save your father's life?"

Chen Shen nodded, and then told Zhang Fei what happened.

It turned out that he was from Dengzhou, and his family was in the business of silk and satin. One day his father went to a restaurant to drink, and met a drunk man, who had some quarrels and then pushed and shoved him. As a result, his father accidentally pushed the man away. He fell down the stairs and died.

He was sentenced to death by the government.

When he finished speaking, two big men came to Zhang Fei carrying a big wooden box.

As soon as the box was opened, it was full of bright white silver, which made Niu Beiqing and Feng Nanxi gasp.

"Here is 5000 taels of silver. Since I am in a hurry, it is inconvenient to bring too much silver, but as long as Zhang Sanlang can rescue my father, it is 1 taels, and I am willing."

1 million taels?

Niu Beiqing's mouth was wide enough to stuff an old hen in.

Can a lawsuit make money like this?

Why haven't I heard of it before!

Zhang Fei glanced at the silver, 5000 taels is so dazzling, wouldn't the 1 taels be even more spectacular? I have to find a way to get this money, and then put them together.

Xu Zhiqian beside her whispered, "You don't really want to accept it, do you?"

have to!It's definitely over!Zhang Fei pointed at Xu Zhiqian, and said with a lack of interest: "You can handle it!"

With that said, he walked inside.

Xu Zhiqian glanced at Chen Shen, and said: "Your Excellency, don't panic, just wait in Beijing with peace of mind, the state government has no power to impose the death penalty, and it has to be handed over to the capital for review by Dali Temple, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Court of Justice. The lawsuit can be fought in the capital."

Chen Shen hurriedly said: "But my father is very old!"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhiqian said: "I'm old, can I still push others downstairs? It shows that my father is in good health, so you don't need to worry too much. Also, my father is judging Dali Temple. My father is back, and I will take you to see him."

A flash of panic flashed in Chen Shen's eyes, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me."

So he took his servants and left in a hurry carrying the silver.

Zhang Fei, who was sitting in the living room, had just taken a sip of tea when Xu Zhiqian walked in, "Wow! It was resolved so quickly, didn't they want to increase the price?"

Xu Zhiqian asked: "How much will you take?"

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "One hundred thousand guan."

Xu Zhiqian said: "You don't want to die!"

Zhang Fei spread his hands: "It doesn't have to be a good job to get money! It's just a mere 1 taels, and it's not worth my thinking."

Xu Zhiqian snorted: "You are so self-righteous, you will be harmed sooner or later."

"With you watching over me, I don't need to think about this at all." Zhang Fei laughed.

Xu Zhiqian gave her a hard gouged look, then frowned slightly and said, "I didn't expect them to make a move so soon."

No need to think about it, the other party must have come to bribe him, telling him to go to Dengzhou immediately, then he would definitely not be able to help Wang Anshi.For a person with Erbi, the price is 1 taels. You must know that even if Zhang Fei does not accept it, Wang Anshi will not necessarily lose if he goes up by himself. It is conceivable how many interests are involved in this.

Zhang Fei couldn't help but sighed: "This is just the beginning. With the implementation of the new law, they will do everything they can. This is the most terrifying thing!"

He had always been very cautious about whether to enter the game before, because he knew what would happen.

After Xu Zun came back, they told Xu Zun about it.

Xu Zun was not surprised by this, but he couldn't tell who was planning it, because too many people tried to stop Wang Anshi's reform, including most of the royal relatives, but what is certain is that this is the same as Wen Yanbo, Sima They definitely have nothing to do with each other.

They don't bother to use this method.

On the same day, Wang Anshi also knew about this, and immediately sent people over to protect Zhang Fei's house and Bianjing Law Firm.

It can be seen how terrible this lawsuit is.

And Qian Yi over there was finally released by the Kaifeng Mansion.

However, the Kaifeng government still sternly rejected his prosecution.

It is impossible to set a precedent for ordinary people to directly sue the imperial court's major policies, otherwise, there will be endless troubles.

However, the case will be heard in court at that time.

The affairs of the ruling class are still digested internally.

Liu House.

"Thank you for your help."

Qian Wei bowed his hands to his colleagues.

Liu Shu immediately said: "Brother Qian gave up his life for righteousness, how can we wait until we die."

As he spoke, he sighed again, "It's just that if this lawsuit is lost, it may be difficult for Brother Qian to return to court."

Qian Wei said: "Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good. As long as the trial is fair, I don't believe that I will lose to Wang Jiefu."

Qi Hui frowned and said, "According to what we know, Wang Jiefu is very likely to invite Zhang San to file this lawsuit."

After Qian Wei heard this, he even laughed loudly and said, "He doesn't even dare to argue in court, it only proves that he has a ghost in his heart."

Qi Hui and Liu Shu looked at each other with worry in their eyes.

If it is said that evil prevails over righteousness, isn't Zhang San always in a state of justice?

Liu Shu, who had suffered so much, said: "Brother Qian, don't be careless. That Zhang San is eloquent and eloquent, and his tricks are endless. He won the previous few times. It is by no means a fluke. This time we have to be fully prepared. "

The rest of the people also nodded one after another.

Qian Wei knew it too, but he didn't believe it. He snorted, "He, Wang Anshi, used the name of political reform to subvert the ancestral system and monopolize power. This is conclusive evidence. How can you allow those young people to argue."

If everyone is reasonable and presents the facts, then there is nothing to worry about.

Just at this time, Sima Guang came in suddenly and said, "There is a difference between a lawsuit and a court debate. I suggest you read the records of Zhang Fei's lawsuit first. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win a hundred battles."

Liu Shu hurriedly said: "Scholar Sima is right, we still have to prepare well, so as not to let him get his way again."

Seeing that Sima Guang had said that, Qian Wei nodded.
