Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 510

As soon as Zhang Fei got up, the discussion outside the court exploded on the spot.

"From this point of view, the imperial court really wants to protect our people, and we don't have to be afraid anymore."

"Then the government will ask us to pay more taxes, can we also sue the imperial court?"

"It should be possible! We will pay as much as the law stipulates, and we will not pay any more."

"It's hard to tell. After all, we still haven't said when the compensation will be paid. If it is delayed, it may be nothing."

"Even if we really lose, let's not learn. Whether it is the emperor's court or Chief Judge Zhang is the most powerful, we can't say for sure. If Chief Judge Zhang is transferred, what should we do? Those people are not allowed to take revenge on us. "

"Yes, yes, the official left after working for a few years, but we have always lived here. This is still unreliable!"

This year I was bitten by a snake, and I was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

What's more, they were bitten by snakes for ten years, which can be imagined.

Although the common people were excited, they were still relatively stable. After all, in their view, Zhang Fei was also an official, and they had met good officials before, but this person was out of office, and Zhang Fei didn't have superpowers, so he couldn't take care of him. .

"Brother Li, did we win this?"

Duan Chaobei waited for a group of salt merchants, he didn't care so much, he ran directly to the corridor and asked Li Min.

Li Min said: "Of course I won, didn't you just listen to Judge Zhang's judgment?"

Duan Chaobei said: "I heard it, but there is no time to make up for it! We can't delay it all the time, and we can't afford it!"

There is a saying that nights are long and dreams are many. If the money is not in hand, I always feel uneasy, especially when the opposite party is the government.

Li Min smiled and said: "Don't worry, the imperial court's judgment is different from the previous government. It must give an answer as soon as possible, and it cannot be delayed for too long."

While chatting, I saw officials walking towards the back hall angrily.

After Li Min saw it, he was a little worried, if the imperial court couldn't hold on, there would be no fun here.

On the contrary, Duan Chaobei and the others were not worried, because they did so because of the secret support of many people. They were borrowing them to deal with the imperial court, and they only wanted money. The two sides were hostile on the surface, but in fact they were Take what you need.

In fact, for these officials, it does not mean that they cannot be compensated, but this has to be an order from a superior, or the officials decide, and it cannot be you who judge me to compensate.

This involves a question of power.

In officialdom, this is the most sensitive.

Because the imperial court has made it clear that public security, law and administration are not subordinate to each other.

But your judgment clearly prompts me to change the current decree.

Moreover, this is already the second time, and it is even more serious than the last time.

Really aggressive.

Yuan Jiang, Cai Yanqing, Wei Yingfang, Cao Yi and other officials immediately chased after him.

back hall!

Yuan Jiang said angrily: "Mr. Zhang, you are clearly arbitrarily arbitrarily abusing your power. This is the power of someone Yuan, but now it has become. If I do well, it is your credit. If I don't do it, then I will do it." It’s also against the law, but it really doesn’t make sense.”

Cai Yanqing saw Yuan Jiang acting so excessively, and thought, since you have already discussed it, then I have to say a few words.He also frowned and said: "I also think that your imperial court has done too much in this matter. You have taken the limelight, but it has robbed our official authority. Who will obey our government orders then, and how will we manage this Hezhong Mansion."

Wei Yingfang, Cao Yi and other officials couldn't help but feel secretly happy when they saw that the two bosses finally couldn't sit still.

Faced with their roaring, Zhang Fei remained expressionless and said firmly: "First of all, I didn't intend to make the government lose face, but someone came to sue and presented sufficient evidence. The imperial court must accept it, but I I have also discussed with Bachelor Yuan, can the two of you reconcile privately, it is Bachelor Yuan who refuses to agree, so what can I do?"

Cai Yanqing glanced at Yuan Jiang.

Yuan Jiang didn't make a sound.

Zhang Fei looked at Yuan Jiang again, "Scholar Yuan said just now that if you do well, it is my credit. If you do not do well, you are still breaking the law. Then I can also say that I have offended people. Then I am guilty of dereliction of duty, my duty is to judge, and everyone performs their duties, so why abuse their power?"

As he said that, he looked back at Cai Yanqing again, "Cai Zhifu said that anyone who will obey the government's decree, the government can also sue, if there is a businessman who repudiates, or invades the official land, the official salt, the government can also sue, as long as The evidence is solid, and the imperial court will uphold justice for the government."

An imperceptible light flashed in Cai Yanqing's eyes, and he thought, yes!In the future, we will also be able to use the imperial court to handle some difficult matters.

Wei Yingfang's heart skipped a beat, boy, you let us kill each other.Immediately said: "If our government still needs the imperial court to make decisions for us, hehe, then the entire Hezhong Mansion will be decided by your imperial court."

The two bosses above are tearing their faces apart, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I'm only referring to illegal matters, or financial disputes. Of course, our public security bureau has the final say. I don't know what Wei Tong judge thinks, but who has the final say?"

Cai Yanqing said: "But you also have to consider the overall situation. Considering the financial difficulties, your arbitrary judgment will put the government in a dilemma."

Zhang Fei said: "I have considered it very well. First of all, I asked Bachelor Yuan in private and Wei Tongju in court, but the answer I got was that there was no way to solve the problem of excessive salt money.

Secondly, you all said that excessive issuance of salt money will damage the salt law, and the damage is far greater than compensation to the salt merchants.

In the end, I checked several times, whether you want to reform the salt law, and you said no, and I asked again, the difference between the old and new laws, no one can say that the old laws are not applicable.

Tell me, how should I consider the overall situation? "

After these words, Cai Yanqing was speechless. In fact, he already knew that Zhang Fei asked so many questions in court just to silence them.

Yuan Jiang sneered: "This is military expenses, and the other is compensation. Why don't you do it to the end and teach us how to compensate?"

Zhang Fei said: "If I do this, then I will really abuse my power."

Yuan Jiang immediately said: "Then you are deliberately making things difficult for me."

Zhang Fei laughed angrily and said: "If Bachelor Yuan thinks that he is making things difficult for himself with a fair judgment, then I can only admit it. In addition, lying, plundering, reneging on debts, if such methods can improve finances, then I will It's okay to come to me, why should the imperial court send Bachelor Yuan to come.

The predicament that Fan Tixing faced back then should have been much more difficult than it should be now, but Fan Tixing didn't use such indiscriminate tricks either. "

Yuan Jiang's face was a little uneasy, but she still gritted her teeth and said: "There is no rule in the imperial court. The government must implement the judgment of the imperial court. If the official does not implement it, what can you do?"

Zhang Fei said: "The officials didn't tell me that in our Great Song Dynasty, any official could not abide by the law."

"you."

Yuan Jiang glared at him angrily, "Let's just wait and see."

As he spoke, he shook the sleeves of his robe and left angrily.

Cai Yanqing, Wei Yingfang and other officials also left.

"It's good this time!"

Cai Jing scratched his head and said with a headache, "We offended everyone."

Zhang Fei glanced at him, "Cai Jing, do you know what your boss likes to hear the most?"

Cai Jing was startled, and shook his head dully.

Zhang Fei said: "It's the kind of constructive words, and the most annoying thing is the kind of nonsense you just said. Tell me, how can we not offend them while maintaining judicial justice."

Cai Jing quickly changed his words: "The students are only worried about the teacher."

"It's still like a sentence."

Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "Actually, I don't want to offend them, but I have done everything I can. It is they who have repeatedly made things difficult for us, and they have never taken us seriously. If this is the case, then it's okay." What can be discussed, what should be done, just do it, don't worry too much."

"Yes. The students know."

Cai Bian and Shangguan both bowed their hands in a daze.

Cai Jing and Ye Zuqia, the two slickers, were full of worry.

Of course, Zhang Fei and Yuan Jiang discussed this. Since Yuan Jiang wants to eat two meals, Zhang Fei must have conflicts with the government to create this condition for Yuan Jiang.

It's just that Zhang Fei is facing Sima Guang and Wang Anshi. Both of them are gentlemen, moral models, and they both care about the country.

But what Yuan Jiang faced were not gentlemen, but people like poisonous snakes and beasts. There was no way to reason with these people, and he could only use benefits, which could only be bright and dark.

Although this is not the same as Zhang Fei's plan, Zhang Fei believes that it has both advantages and disadvantages for him. Now he does not need to compromise and think too much, and can maintain judicial justice.

Yuan Jiang will not do too much.

On the other hand, after Yuan Jiang and other officials returned to the official office, their morale was really high. Everyone was united as one, desperately fighting in front of Yuan Jiang and Cai Yanqing.

Dry!

Fuck it!

"Bachelor Yuan, let's ignore him at all, and he can't do anything to us," He Chunlin said.

Liu Daxing said disdainfully: "We don't believe it, he can still arrest us all, just the few people in the police station?"

Wei Yingfang said, "Don't forget that the common people and businessmen support the imperial court. In terms of reason and law, we have no advantage in this matter. If you want me to tell you, we will compensate you in full. When the time comes General Northwest came to urge military expenses, so let’s say we don’t have any money and let them go to the imperial court to ask for it.”

Cai Yanqing glanced at him, frowned and said: "If we really want to bring in the Northwest Army, if something happens to the border, do you think any of us will be spared? The current Holy Majesty attaches great importance to the Northwest War."

Wei Yingfang squeezed out a smile, "Prefect Cai, don't blame me, I was also dizzy with anger."

Guo Xiaofa said: "It's better to impeach Zhang San."

After hearing this, Yuan Jiang smiled wryly and said: "Guo Tixing doesn't know something. When that kid was in the capital, he did more stupid things than this. The ministers who impeached him were able to go from Kaifeng Mansion to Daming Mansion. But the final result is just to send him here. If you impeach him, it may backfire. What if the officials really order to support him, what should we do? In addition, I think someone has already written to the court, Impeach Zhang San."

He Chunlin anxiously said: "This is not okay, and that is not okay, should we still be bullied by the imperial court?"

Yuan Jiang frowned and said: "In terms of justice, we can't beat him. We must make use of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses. We must think long-term, and we can't act recklessly. But no matter what, we must first withhold the royal court's funds and not give them money. Don't give me any money."

He Chunlin asked, "What about the procuratorate and the police station?"

Yuan Jiang asked back: "Are you planning to offend them all? Su Zhe and Zhang San have fought several times in Kaifeng Mansion, and they are not on the same side. On the contrary, Cao Yanei has a good relationship with him, but the Cao family is also Foreign relatives are quite powerful in the Northwest, so don't implicate them."

Cai Yanqing suddenly said: "We can talk about this matter later, but the key issue is how to solve the salt money issue?"

Yuan Jiang raised her eyes to look at them, "Do you have a solution?"

No one said anything.

There is absolutely no other way than to lose money.

Yuan Jiang took a deep breath, "That kid is right. Relying on cheating and cheating is really not a skill. Even if this matter goes to the court, I will lose face. After all, this is too much money. It is indeed a problem, and the court has already known about it, and the officials appointed me this time to solve this problem."

Wei Yingfang said: "But this cannot be solved at all. There is only so much money. If compensation is required, other places must reduce expenditures, and how much salt money will be issued in the future? If hundreds of thousands of salt money are not issued every year, it is not good. Go make up for it!"

Cai Yanqing couldn't help looking at Yuan Jiang.

Yuan Jiang frowned and said: "This is our authority. If we can't solve it, it will only make Zhang San laugh at us for being incompetent. If we can solve it perfectly, it will also improve our morale and win the recognition of the people."
