Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 190

Chapter 190

"You've finished asking, but I haven't answered yet. You're deliberately wronging me!"

Lu Jiawen, who was in a lawsuit for the first time, was inexperienced, so he got up anxiously and argued with Fan Chunren.

Do you make sense?

If you can’t finish speaking, don’t let me speak.

How is this different from framing.

Fan Chunren seemed to have seen his original self. He did not laugh at Lu Jiawen, but as an elder, he gave him a calm look.

The official recorder glanced at Zhao Bian.

Zhao Yan was experienced, and shook his head, indicating that there is no need to write down the words Lu Jia asked, and then patted the gavel, "Silence!"

"I!"

Lu Jiawen glanced at Zhao Bian, then looked at Zhang Fei with aggrieved expression.

"Sit, sit, sit!"

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

Lu Jiawen sat back, his youthful face flushed red.

The key is that he is not stupid, he knows the importance of this issue.

Although the court has already opened, whether this lawsuit can be fought or not is still inconclusive. Zhao Xu didn't hold a meeting to discuss this issue in detail, but only approved their request.

Zhao Xu obviously left a step for himself.

If he was found to be motivated by revenge, the court would certainly not allow such a thing to happen again.

Because this will become a means for subordinates to retaliate against their superiors.

This effect is very bad.

For this reason, it is possible to acquit the crime of manslaughter.

Lu Gong kept shaking his head, he could only comfort himself, let this kid suffer a little bit.

"Fan Sijian has improved a lot!"

Xu Zhiqian turned sideways and whispered.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "He learned this trick last time, but he used it more proficiently this time."

Seeing that the boy was still chatting with women, Zhao Bian raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhang San."

"exist."

Zhang Fei stood up, first said to Xu Zhiqian in a low voice: "No. [-] copywriter." Then he looked at Lu Jia and asked, seeing how this kid was as arrogant as before, like a resentful woman.

The smile subsided, and he asked seriously: "Lu Fafa, before this case, did you know Geng Ming?"

"do not know!"

Lu Jiawen shook his head.

Zhang Fei asked again: "Then do you know this person?"

Lu Jia asked shaking his head, "I don't know."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Then, as a subordinate of Wangzhi County, do you know how Wang Zhixian usually disciplines his subordinates?"

Lu Jia asked and answered: "Very strict."

Zhang Fei said: "For a commoner whom you have never masked, go against your boss, and this boss usually disciplines his subordinates very strictly, do you think it's worth it?"

Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up, and she glanced triumphantly at Fan Chunren, who was facing him, and saw that Fan Chunren was thoughtful, and thought, "You learn while fighting here, how to win."

Han Qi whispered: "It seems that Chunren is still a bit inferior!"

Fu Bi nodded slightly.

A comparison, superiority and inferiority.

Fan Chunren is taking advantage of the rules, Zhang Fei's question is more logical.

Lu Jiawen also seemed to be holding back his breath: "My duty is not to curry favor with my superiors, but to decide the sentence according to the case that the manager has finished hearing."

Zhang Fei nodded and continued to ask: "But have you reviewed Wang Zhixian's judgment, whether there is any reason for him, or are you just dissatisfied with his denial of your judgment?"

Lu Jiawen immediately replied: "Of course I have examined it, but Wang Zhixian even said that the tax notes provided by Geng Ming are not enough evidence, but in the opinion of our Siliyuan, that is very important evidence, and those tax notes are enough to prove Geng Ming's Ming was forced to pay a lot of tax money.”

The people outside the door nodded frequently.

Although they still don't know the specific circumstances of the case, this kind of thing is already commonplace.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Usually, when this happens, what do you usually do?"

Lu Jia asked: "Either follow Wang Zhixian's wishes, or appeal to the Kaifeng government, or report to the punishment department."

Zhang Fei said: "But you didn't choose to appeal to the Kaifeng Mansion, nor did you choose to report to the Criminal Criminal Division, but went to the left hall to sue, why?"

Lu Jia asked: "Originally, I planned to sue the Kaifeng government, but what Wang Zhixian said made me decide to go to the left hall to sue."

Zhang Fei asked, "Which words?"

Lu Jia asked and replied: "That's what I just said. Wang Zhixian said that I can't even be a subordinate official because of my family background, so I questioned my judgment. It just so happens that my third grandfather is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture. If I appeal to Kaifeng Prefecture, I'm afraid Wang Zhixian will not accept it, so I want to use my ability to report Wang Zhixian."

"I see."

Zhang Fei nodded, and at the same time stretched his hand down, Xu Zhiqian immediately handed him a copy.

Zhang Fei raised the copy in his hand, "This copy is Lu Jiawen's several judgments in the Sili Yuan."

Fan Chunren immediately questioned, "What does this have to do with this case?"

Zhang Fei replied: "Whether Lu Jiawen is competent for this position is crucial to the trial of this case, because Wang Zhixian once questioned Lu Jiawen's ability, so I need to prove this point."

Zhao Bian nodded slightly and said, "That's right. If Lu Jia's ability to ask questions is insufficient and he often makes mistakes, causing Wangzhi County to distrust him, this is very important for the trial of this case."

Zhang Fei continued: "The duty of the judiciary to join the army is to discuss the law and judge the sentence. This requires extremely professional knowledge. If many ministers in the court and the central government have not carefully studied the criminal law, they will not be able to do this. I believe that the chief judge should Knows better than I do."

Zhao Yan nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei continued: "As for Lu Jiawen, he is still young and seems to have little experience, but his previous judgments and sentencing are enough to prove that Lu Jiawen is absolutely capable of this position. And every case he judges is The approval of Wangzhi County shows that Wangzhi County is very aware of Lu Jiawen's ability."

Zhao Bian said: "Submit the evidence."

Immediately, a clerk came over and took the copy.

The experience and expertise of judging the case, Zhao Bian really didn't target anyone, so he took it and looked at it seriously.

"Have a sip of tea first!"

After Zhang Fei sat down, Xu Zhiqian immediately poured her a cup of tea.

Zhang Fei took it over and said with a smile: "This Prime Minister Zhao looked so rigid, he never expected to be so careful, and he prepared tea for us without our asking."

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly said: "Ms. Zhao was famous for being stern and selfless before."

"is it?"

Zhang Fei said: "Last time, he was the one who opposed it the most."

Xu Zhiqian whispered: "Last time it was a dispute over the new law, not a criminal case."

Zhang Fei nodded: "That's true."

Over there, Fan Chunren and Qian Wei also took advantage of this opportunity to discuss in a low voice.

"That kid always thinks a few steps ahead of us, it won't work if we go on like this!"

This was the first question, and Qian Wei realized that there was still a gap between Fan Chunren and Zhang Fei.

Fan Chunren said: "We can only learn and sell now."

Qian Wei worried: "Is it okay to do this? If you don't learn well, you might as well ask according to the plan."

Fan Chunren said to himself: "This is the advantage of us admonishing officials and censors."

They never follow the script and generally adapt to the situation.

Qian Wei nodded slightly, and said again: "It's a pity that we only have to prepare some judgment cases in Wangzhi County, otherwise, it will be more convincing."

Fan Chunren sighed: "Yes! Next time we have a chance, we have to prepare some copywriting."

Lu Huiqing glanced at Wang Anshi and saw that his eyes had been staring at Lu Jiawen, so she said, "Master, don't worry, Lu Jiawen...!"

In the middle of talking, I heard Wang Anshi say: "That seat is not available."

"what?"

Lu Huiqing said in astonishment.

Wang Anshi said: "Look at the boy, how confident and excited he was when he first sat on it. After this question, he became depressed. Next time I would rather be a pen than sit on it. It's too scary."

Lu Huiqing nodded with a sneer and fell silent.

After a while, Zhao Yan put the copy aside and said, "Lu Jiawen is absolutely capable of serving as a judicial officer in the army."

Sitting next to him was Mr. Lu, whose mouth could not stop rising.

It is also possible to win back a city with hard power.

Fan Chunren stood up again, and asked Lu Jia: "Lu Jufa, just now you mentioned that Wangzhi County is a strict official, but I don't know what you think Wang Zhixian's ability is in solving cases?"

Xu Zhiqian laughed and said, "He is learning and selling now!"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Then at least he will have to fight a hundred lawsuits with me."

Lu Jia asked and replied: "In my opinion, Wangzhi County is relatively mediocre in solving cases."

This stupid boy.Lu Gong felt a headache for a while, you kid said that, who would dare to be your boss!

Fan Chunren said: "That's why Wang Zhi County fully agreed with your previous judgments."

Lu Jia asked loudly, "That's only because I was right."

Zhao Yan shook his head when he heard that.

Zhang Fei looked at Fan Chunren in surprise, holding back a smile desperately.

Xu Zhiqian frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you tell him?"

Zhang Fei said: "Why didn't you explain, but he didn't listen."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Why?"

Zhang Fei smiled wryly: "He said he can't lie in court."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's because he looks down on Wang Hong's judicial knowledge from the bottom of his heart."

"How about that?"

Xu Zhiqian was a little worried and said: "If the magistrate of Wang county is really incompetent, how can he be the magistrate of Chi county? It is easy for people to find out the flaws."

Zhang Fei snickered and said, "This loophole is selling well!"

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "If it were me, I would try my best to emphasize Wang Hong's methods of governance, and deliberately lower his methods of judging the case. In this way, I can move forward and retreat freely on this issue."

Xu Zhiqian blinked, suddenly realized, "I understand."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I originally asked Lu Jiawen to try to emphasize Wang Hong's skills, but I didn't know that this kid was unwilling to live or die. Fortunately, this question can't affect the overall situation, so I didn't force him. I never thought that Fan Sijian would assist me. Haha. It seems that Fan Sijian has learned from the ditch."

Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips and smiled, then looked at Fan Chunren again.

Fan Chunren didn't seem to realize that he was still in a state of attacking Lu Jiawen, and asked, "But why did he overrule your judgment this time?"

Lu Jia asked and replied: "That's because he wanted to protect Wei Yushan."

Fan Chunren said: "According to what you just said, Wei Yushan also handed Kaifeng County a pleading paper to sue Geng Ming."

Lu Jia asked and nodded.

Fan Chunren asked: "How did Wangzhi County decide?"

Lu Jia asked and hummed: "Wei Yushan's pleadings are simply...!"

Fan Chunren interrupted him, "You just need to answer me, how did the magistrate judge at that time?"

Lu Jia asked: "Wang Zhixian dismissed it because of insufficient evidence."

"I'm done asking."

Fan Chunren sat down.

"The warm-up exercise is over."

Zhang Fei stood up: "I implore the presiding judge to choose the defendant Wang Hong and Wang Zhixian to testify in court."

Zhao Yan nodded and said: "Lu Jufa, you go down and rest first, if there is a problem, I will announce you to the court again."

"The subordinate retire."

Lu Jia asked to stand up and salute, and when passing by Zhang Fei, he complained: "It's really boring."

Zhang Fei glanced at him indifferently, thinking, you are just a tool person, not a protagonist, so you are not a bit tricky.
