Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 154 Qingli 2 Jun

Chapter 154

Outer city, Hexi, inside a mansion.

"Zhi Niang, those helpless bastards, a small pen made them helpless, revealing their true colors. Fortunately, I worked so hard to force that Zhang San to admit defeat at such a big risk. It’s all for the third division, and the second division is here again, I’m really pissed off.”

But I saw a middle-aged man with a big arm and a round waist, pacing back and forth in the hall, cursing non-stop.

This person's name is Cao Han, who was born as a military general. He is currently serving as a transit envoy, and can be said to be the head of the Ministry of Transportation.

This career can be served by both civil and military officials.

Sitting next to him was a man dressed as a literati, who was Liu Qing, the transit judge. He persuaded: "Brother Cao, don't be anxious, and blame Zhang San for being cunning. It is hard to guard against. Who would have thought that they would use such a method. However, There is no conclusion on this matter, we will wait and see.”

Cao Han snorted, "This iron case can be overthrown, how can you tell me to trust them again?"

Liu Qing sighed, "If you don't believe it, there is nothing you can do. We have done our best, and now the other party has taken precautions. If we want to repeat the old tricks, we are afraid that we will burn ourselves, so why not watch the fire from the other side."

"This group of useless trash." Cao Han sat back, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, then slammed the wine glass on the table, with a bang, the wine glass shattered into several pieces.

It turned out that Fang Yun's incident was the work of their transshipment department behind the scenes.

Only their transshipment department can easily commit crimes across borders.

And the reason why they did this was to avenge the previous historian case.

The transshipment department is in charge of national transportation, including military rations and salt. It is conceivable how many benefits are hidden in it. However, the case of the historian caused their transshipment department to suffer heavy losses. , A lot of oil and water are afraid to fish.

Because they have already learned that the emperor secretly sent several supervisors to supervise their transshipment department.

All this is thanks to Zhang Fei.

Secondly, they had also received rumors that Wang Anshi was definitely going to touch their piece of cake, so they took the risk and kidnapped Fang Yun to force Zhang Fei to lose the lawsuit.

How do you know that the three divisions are gone, and a second government has come.

Only then did they realize that they had been tricked by Zhang Fei, which really pissed them off.

Busy busy.

It can also be seen from this incident that in the face of Wang Anshi's reform, those with vested interests and the conservatives in the court have reached a tacit consensus, which is a potential alliance.

One is bright, one is dark.

However, following the establishment of the Second Government Regulations Division, a sudden contradiction arose between the two factions.

Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and the others thought that the last round was unwarranted, so it is better to fight again. If the emperor repents, then we will have a reason, and we will have more confidence in fighting the emperor.

However, a considerable number of officials, including officials from the Third Division, the Transshipment Division, and several other very important departments, are resolutely unwilling, saying that the emperor is playing tricks, it is simply shameless, and we must not compromise.

Otherwise, the lawsuit would be endless.

But Sima Guang and the others believe that we oppose the establishment of the Three Divisions and Regulations Division on the grounds of violating the law of the ancestors, which of course is also a judicial issue.

Disputes began within the opposition.

Wang Anshi, Chen Shengzhi and others were also stunned, why did they start fighting by themselves.

That's a good relationship. They are devoting themselves to formulating new laws and regulations.

As the representative of the Department of Regulations and Regulations of the Second Mansion, Erbi Zhang Fei also had a leisurely time.

In this case, he was completely on the defensive. If he won't fight the lawsuit, he would have to sue the other party. Now that the other party is too busy to take care of himself, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to come forward and shout arrogantly, "Come and beat me!" ! Hit me!"

His surname is Zhang, not Fang.

Xu family.

"Oh, I'm afraid this matter won't come to fruition for a while."

Xu Zun shook his head and sighed.

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "Could it be that Mr. Wen and Grand Master Sima can't hold back?"

"But the problem is that this case was judged by Mr. Fu. Their status is not as high as Mr. Fu's! And Mr. Fu closed his door to thank guests. He didn't say a word about it. Many officials concluded that Mr. Fu supported them. Neither should Fu Gong’s judgment be overturned.”

Xu Zun said with a wry smile: "They also need the support of the prime minister and the political adviser before they can change the official's decision. Both sides insist on their own opinions, and no one can persuade the other."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The snipe and the clam fight each other, and the fisherman benefits from it. Grand Master Wang must be laughing now."

Xu Zun said with a chuckle: "I don't know if you are laughing or not, I only know that they are pushing everything to you now, and they don't even give the other party a chance to argue."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "This is what it should be, after all, take people's money to eliminate disasters for people."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "Then how do you plan to deal with it?"

"What to deal with?"

Zhang Fei said: "I am only responsible for dealing with legal issues. They have to come to me so that I can deal with them. Otherwise, I have nothing to do."

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Xu Zhiqian and said, "It's you, you have been fishing for three days and drying the net for two days, but it's not worth it."

Xu Zhiqian was stunned and said, "What are you fishing for three days and drying the net for two days?"

"Of course it's about going to the countryside to promote tax calculation!" Zhang Fei said, "I asked Fan Li, but you haven't made any achievements so far."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Didn't I tell you about this, you have to take your time, you can't rush."

Zhang Fei said: "You can't take your time, I will send all the people to your side, we have to start this business quickly."

Xu Zhiqian was surprised and said, "Send all the people to me?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "Why?"

Zhang Fei sighed: "You can find out by going to the office, there is not even a single customer."

Xu Zhiqian said: "This matter is such a big mess, before the results come out, who would dare to go there."

Zhang Fei said: "But it's absolutely impossible to go on like this. Once I file a lawsuit, the business will stop, and our customers will start to fidget and become paranoid again."

Xu Zhiqian thought it made sense.

No need to think about it, the rich businessman who cooperated with Zhang Fei before must be panicked again now, this jumping from side to side is really terrible!

If this is always the case, others will definitely not associate with Zhang Fei again, no matter how much protection you give.

You yourself are an unstable bomb, and the guarantee you give is useless.

Xu Zhiqian asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Zhang Fei said: "I plan to adjust the strategy, concentrate the manpower, and open up the countryside. The farmers are different from the citizens. They don't understand the affairs of the court, and they will not be affected by it."

Xu Zhiqian frowned and said: "But you said before that this business is not profitable, you have to develop the city first, earn money, and then supplement this business."

Zhang Fei smiled wryly and said: "The problem is that we can't make money in the city now, but if we can get the support of the majority of farmers and have such a solid foundation, then if we encounter this situation again, our shops will not be able to make money." As for the lack of community, this will give the public confidence, so that we can completely get rid of this phenomenon."

Those citizens are all well-informed and very shrewd. If there is any trouble, they will immediately respond, and there will be a chain reaction immediately.

However, farmers are blocked by information and do not understand these things. They will not be affected, and this can give citizens confidence.

Farmers are not afraid, what are we afraid of.

Xu Zun immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Zhang San! Your business methods are no less than your lawsuit methods."

Zhang Fei said with a sneer: "The benefactor has won the award. In fact, for me, a lawsuit is also a business. I always believe that it is the responsibility of the government to maintain justice and fairness."

Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "You can't say that!"

"I was wrong!"

Zhang Fei quickly admitted his mistake, "Business can also be divided into justice and evil."

"It's good that you know!" Xu Zhiqian asked again: "But even if you send more people over, it won't be an overnight success!"

Zhang Fei said unhappily: "You have made this business a chivalrous one. Naturally, it will not be fast. This business has to be settled by means of business."

Xu Zhiqian looked at him suspiciously, "What trick are you planning to use?"

Zhang Fei said: "I have to think about it, but I definitely can't go on like this, we can't let justice be late."

"be late?"

Xu Zhiqian snorted, "It's not bad if you can get there."

Zhang Fei said again: "But it's better to be early than late."

rich mansion.

"Fu Gong, you were the one who decided this case. If you don't come forward, it will be difficult for us to convince the officials below."

Wen Yanbo said to Fu Bi helplessly.

In the past few days, he has also been quarreled so much that he has become dizzy. The key to this case is that the Prime Minister Fu Bi judged it. Whether he admits it or not, Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo have nothing to say, but Fu Bi is avoiding it. He didn't even say a word, does it mean that Fu Bi also supports those villains to fight to the end?

Even Fu Bi's students said that the original judgment must be upheld.

Fu Bi repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Last time I intended to solve this matter, but they used that despicable trick, which is what I hate the most in my life, I will not mess with them again, you better ask someone else to be smart! "

He had already learned the specific reason from Sima Guang, and he really hated it because he was also forced to leave Beijing by this despicable trick.

Although we still don't know who the real culprit is, it must have been done by some people in the opposition. How could he join forces with them?

Wen Yanbo tried to persuade him earnestly: "I also hope that Fu Gong will put the country and the country as the most important thing. If this continues, the court will only be torn apart, and no one will be able to live in peace."

Fu Bi glanced at Wen Yanbo, pondered for a while, and said, "I heard that Han Qi is still in the capital."

Wen Yanbo nodded subconsciously.

Han Qi is currently in Daming Mansion, serving as the pacifier of Hebei Fourth Road, but when he returns to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, he usually rests for several months, even half a year, because he is old after all.

Fu Bi said: "You ask Sima Junshi to find Han Qi, he is better at handling this kind of thing than me."

Wen Yanbo wondered: "But last time it was Fu Gong, you got the sentence!"

Before he could finish speaking, Fu Bi said: "Han Qi's status is higher than mine, and his disciples are widely spread in the government and the public. If he stands up, no one will dare to speak up."

Seeing that Fu Bi really didn't want to interfere with this matter, Wen Yanbo sighed, "Okay! I'll let Junshi try it, but if it doesn't work..."

Having said that, he looked at Fu Bi, but Fu Bi remained silent.

Having no other choice, Wen Yanbo asked Sima Guang to find Han Qi.

"The last time the lawsuit was decided by Mr. Fu, you should go to Mr. Fu!"

Han Qi looked at Sima Guang in surprise.

He has kept his distance from the case and has never made any comment.

In fact, he and Sima Guang thought the same thing. The emperor was right to reform the law. The key is how to change. Although he didn't like Wang Anshi's way, he had to wait for the new law to come out.

Sima Guang explained: "The rich man suffers from a foot illness and is unable to do what he wants. At present, only Han Xianggong can solve this dispute."

"Foot problems."

Han Qi smiled slightly, and said: "This old man knows Fu Gong better than you. He has a leg problem, he just doesn't bother to get along with him."

Sima Guang remained silent, apparently acquiescing.

Han Qi's expression changed suddenly, and he said sullenly, "He didn't bother to be with him, so he came to invite me. Didn't he allude to me being in this mud?"

When Sima Guang heard this, he suddenly complained, how could he forget this.

Fu Bi and Han Qi's disputes over many key issues such as the establishment of the reserve and the competition were all won by Han Qi. At that time, Fu Bi thought that Han Qi was playing tricks behind his back, but Han Qi thought that he was aboveboard, so the two of them also Slowly alienate.

Therefore, Han Qi is particularly sensitive to this kind of thing, and is also very angry. If you, Fu Bi, don't want to do this tricky thing, let the old man do it, then you are just mocking the old man.

After figuring it out, Sima Guang suddenly had an idea, and he said, "Don't blame Mr. Han, I didn't express clearly enough to make Mr. Han misunderstand. In fact, Mr. Fu meant to invite Mr. Han to try this case together. After all, Mr. Han Back to that lawsuit, Mr. Fu won the judgment, if something unexpected happens in this lawsuit, Mr. Fu will not be able to make a judgment!"

The Department of Regulations of the Third Division and the Division of the Regulations of the Second Government are clearly the same thing, and if they want to fight, they can only violate the law of the ancestors. The same lawsuit, the same judge, gave two diametrically opposed judgments , Isn't this slapping yourself in the face?

Han Qi scrutinized Sima Guang for a while, and asked doubtfully, "Is this really true?"

Sima Guang's acting skills were unquestionable, and he swore: "How dare I lie to Mr. Han about this matter."

Although Han Qi was very angry just now, he always wanted to get rid of the past with Fu Bi and turn the feud into friendship. After all, he was a close friend for many years, and he has nothing to compete with at his age. He felt that if Fu Bi invited him to interrogate him, he would If he refuses, the relationship will not be eased anymore, but out of face, he still said: "Let the old man consider this matter."

It can't be said that as soon as you Fubi shouted, I would go, and I, Han Qi, would lose face.

As soon as Sima Guang heard that there was something going on, he hurried to find Wen Yanbo after he left.

When Wen Yanbo heard this, he was stunned, "Junshi, you are lying, Fu Gong has no such intention."

Sima Guang immediately informed Wen Yanbo of Han Qi's attitude just now, and said, "That's all I can say about the situation at that time!"

Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and sighed: "It's really because I didn't think carefully!"

After speaking, he said to Sima Guang: "But Mr. Fu's attitude is very firm. It is impossible to agree. If it doesn't work out, the two of us will be different inside and out."

Sima Guang said: "You just go and tell Fu Gong that if he doesn't show up, Han Xianggong is impossible to come forward. If he loses this lawsuit in the end, it means that Han Xianggong overturned Fu Gong's verdict. Cause unnecessary disputes, the two of them have many students in the court. If Fu Gong and Han Xianggong are interrogated, no matter what the result is, no one will dare to say anything, including the officials. ah!"
