Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 132

Chapter 132

"Mr. Su?"

When Zhang Fei saw Su Shi coming to his home angrily, he couldn't help but feel very surprised.

"Zhang San, you..."

"Mr. Su!"

Su Shi pointed to Zhang Fei and just said two words when he suddenly heard an excited cry, and it was a woman's voice. He hurriedly turned his head to look, but saw that it was a young girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. It is also rare to see her in Bianjing, her expression suddenly changed, she smiled, and said politely: "Little lady knows Su?"

Xu Zhiqian gave a salute, "Returning to Mr. Su, the little girl's surname is Xu and her name is Zhiqian. I once asked Mr. about the "On Punishment, Reward and Loyalty" written by Mr. Su. Has Mr. Su forgotten?"

Zhang Fei looked at the shy Xu Zhiqian, with a look of disdain immediately, she is obviously a female man, what kind of lady are you pretending to be, what a shame!

"Xu Zhiqian?"

Su Shi thought for a while, then suddenly pointed at her and said excitedly, "Xu Zhongtu's daughter?"

Xu Zhiqian nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

In fact, Xu Zhiqian was the first to know Su Shi not because of his poems, but because Su Shi once wrote an article "On Punishment, Reward and Loyalty", which Xu Zhiqian especially liked and regarded as a treasure.

About seven or eight years ago, she had a relationship with Su Shi once, and she also asked Su Shi about this article. At that time, Su Shi was really romantic and handsome.

Xu Zhiqian was so fascinated that she didn't want to.

Su Shi looked at her carefully again, and said with a chuckle: "I remember you were just a little girl at that time, and you would have grown into a graceful figure in a blink of an eye."

Do you want to give me a hug?You bad sorghum!Zhang Fei coughed.

Only then did Su Shi turn his gaze to Zhang Fei, and immediately remembered the purpose of his trip, and immediately pointed at Zhang Fei angrily, "Zhang San, I asked you to file a lawsuit, why did you want to kill me?"

Zhang Fei said in astonishment: "I didn't harm Mr.!"

"You said no?"

Su Shi said angrily: "We said it was good before. You sued Juxian for stealing my poems and articles, but you sued him for the crime of 'writing in a jacket'. In this case, I am the only one who may commit this crime. Are you a victim What am I?"

Zhang Fei said with a look of injustice: "I am suing Ji Juxian for this crime, not Mr. Su."

Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "Yes! Mr. Su, did you make a mistake? I wrote the pleading paper."

Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Could it be the Kaifeng government who sowed discord?"

Su Shi waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with the Kaifeng government. The prefect of Lu just asked me to ask the reason, but I must ask clearly, what is the relationship between this matter and the crime of talking in a jacket and a jacket?"

In fact, it was really the Kaifeng government that was making trouble, and the culprit was Li Kai who was sentenced. He told Su Shi that Zhang San was unpredictable, and he sued for this crime.

Su Shi is also stupid, how could he sue for this crime?

So he rushed to Zhang's house and asked Zhang Fei clearly.

Zhang Fei said: "If such a serious crime is not crowned, how can we prevent such incidents from happening again."

Su Shi's expression softened a little when he heard the words, and he pondered for a moment, saying: "Although that is the case, how can you arbitrarily arrange crimes in matters of the law."

Can't arrange it randomly?Hehe, after a few years, you will know that you were wrong, this is just a warm-up.Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I also ask Mr. Su to believe in my professionalism. Sometimes I see higher and farther. It doesn't mean that I arrange it randomly."

"Higher and farther."

Su Shi couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei suspiciously.

Saying this in front of me, Su, is it because I have not yet recited the ancient saying "Old man talking about youth madness"?

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "If Mr. Su doesn't believe me, I can withdraw the lawsuit."

Su Shi raised his hand, "That's not necessary, I want to see how far and how high you can see?"

As talented as he is, he has never convinced anyone.

Originally, this lawsuit had already caused great shock in the literary world.

Because today's public opinion is controlled in the hands of literati, and this lawsuit is closely related to literati, and the parties are still romantic talents like Su Shi.

Gimmick.

As a result, the entire literary world is discussing this matter.

And when the charge of "making jackets, books and jackets" broke out, it directly detonated the entire public opinion.

In an instant, rumors were flying everywhere.

Even his younger brother Su Che persuaded Su Shi to abandon the lawsuit.

This crime is too terrible.

Enemy of the literati.

No culture can't commit this crime!

Xiangguo Temple!

"It's water! It's water!"

I saw one person yelling in horror.

"Where did the water go?"

"Can't you see that there, and there, are all smoking."

"Look clearly, where are those places."

"Where?"

"Bookstore! They are burning books about Su Zizhan."

".?"

It is no exaggeration to say that at this very moment, booksellers all over the city are burning books about him, Su Zizhan.

Smoke billowed everywhere.

The proprietor of Jijuxian is even worse. When he heard about this, he dragged his wife and children and ran away without saying a word. He didn't want anything.

This crime is not terrible, it is Zhang San who is terrible.

Zhang San said it was the crime, isn't it?

If this crime is dealt with with the highest penalty, it would be hanging!

If you don't run away at this time, when will you wait.

Fortunately, the people from Kaifeng Mansion arrived in time, stopped them, took them back for interrogation, and comforted him.

The Kaifeng government believes that it is impossible to commit this crime if the sages are gathered together.

Wang Anshi was glad that he followed Lu Huiqing's suggestion, otherwise, Zhang Fei might have taken the limelight away.

This charge is definitely adding fuel to the fire.

One is the thing that literati hate the most, and the other is the crime that literati fear most.

Both in one.

Simply a freak.

He himself was very curious and hurried to reserve a seat.

Lu Gong, who originally wanted to throw this lawsuit to the Si Liyuan, had no such idea at this time, because all the hearing seats had already been reserved, and even the tunnel was included in the hearing seats.

All of them are big names in the literary world.

The small courtyard of the Siliyuan, how can it fit in it!

The point is, with so many bosses, it would be embarrassing if the interrogation was not good!

Lu Gong suddenly felt Alexander, but this matter has caused many phenomena among the people, and he had to try it quickly, so he directly arranged for the trial to start tomorrow.

Dali Temple.

"This kid is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic!"

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "Any matter, if it falls into his hands, it will become a great event. If everyone in Erbi is like him, then it will be fine!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Xu Zun who was opposite him, "It's really a famous teacher who produces a high-quality apprentice, and the blue is better than the blue."

Xu Zhongtu was originally the number one strange flower, compared with Zhang Fei, it was too normal.

Xu Zun was very ashamed and said: "Scholar Sima may not believe it, I just gave him some help, I really didn't teach him anything, if I did, I would be proud."

As he said that, he quickly changed the subject and said, "That's right! I heard that the prefect Lu is going to try the case again in the government court. Why doesn't Master Sima use this case to test the new law?"

Sima Guang waved his hand and said: "Everything has to be done by a famous teacher. Now I haven't invited the officials to intervene rashly in the trial of the Kaifeng government. It will only make people feel worse. If this judicial reform starts from violating the rules, so what able to succeed."

Xu Zun nodded slightly and said, "That's true."

In terms of acting style, Xu Zun is actually more similar to Wang Anshi. He who achieves great things does not stick to small details.

Mr. Lu's book was forced to be tried in the court. You can intervene a little bit and use this lawsuit as an experiment. Why not, this will not affect fairness and justice, but just change the process.

Sima Guang is different. He takes it step by step and pays attention to planning before acting.

For this judicial reform, Zhang Fei provided them with ready-made ones, but Sima Guang was thinking about cultivating talents first.

This has to go in the Year of the Monkey.

The next day!

This early in the morning, the courtyard of Kaifeng Mansion was already overcrowded.

At a glance, they were all old men.

It is really a gathering of literary giants, a rare event.

Although this matter is not big, it is closely related to them.

As for Lu Gong, who is also an old man, he almost became a junior, and when he went out to say hello, his waist almost couldn't straighten up.

Pulling old friends Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to complain, who am I provoking?

Why do you torture me like this.

Although they all came to the trial, due to their fame and status, this put a lot of pressure on the presiding judge.

Last time in the court of justice, at any rate, the twin stars of the Northern Song Dynasty were in charge, but this time he was the only one under the leadership of Mr. Lu.

Sima Guang stroked his beard and sighed: "I also think this is really inappropriate!"

Wang Anshi immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

Of course he was facing Zhang Fei, but he didn't expect that Sima Guang was actually facing Zhang Fei.

Sima Guang said: "The prefect's main duty is still to govern the state capital, which concerns the livelihood of the people in the prefecture. Now that there are more and more lawsuits, it consumes a lot of manpower and material resources of the prefecture. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse."

Lu Gong nodded frequently.

Long live the understanding!

Wang Anshi said: "Isn't there still a Sili Yuan down here? The magistrate can't try a few cases."

Sima Guang said: "But in the end, I learned that the government came to make a judgment."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Wang Anshi asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Sima Guang said: "It would be better if the two were separated. The magistrate doesn't have to try cases anymore, and only focuses on governing the state government. As for the judiciary, it is handed over to the Yamen for handling. The two are not affiliated with each other."

Lu Gong nodded, "Such an arrangement is indeed more reasonable!"

Although this arrangement was obviously intended to weaken the prefect's power, most of the positions in the Northern Song Dynasty were changed every three years. Lu Gong would definitely not continue to be the prefect when his work expired, either Yushitai or the third division.

The change of authority has nothing to do with the interests of officials.

Wang Anshi said hehe: "It seems that the rumors outside are true, you really want to carry out judicial reform."

Sima Guang snorted, "Is it possible that you, Wang Jiefu, are allowed to reform, but I, Sima Guang, are not allowed to reform?"

Wang Anshi thought about it, it would be good to find something to settle the old man, so that the old man would not be idle and always confronting himself, hehe said: "I'm not so overbearing, but I don't care about this matter, you have to convince the officials Home."

His changes were mainly aimed at finance, but also related to military affairs and administration, except that there was almost no judicial reform, because there was no bad governance in the judicial sector, and reform was not urgently needed.

If Sima Guang wants to carry out judicial reform, it is tantamount to shying away from him. If you don't do it, I will do it again.

If this is not allowed, it is really a bit deceptive.

"Fu Gong is here too!"

Seeing Fu Bi, Han Qi walked over and said hello.

Fu Bi just cupped his hands slightly: "I didn't expect Mr. Han to be so elegant."

Han Qi said with a chuckle: "It's not about elegance, it's pure curiosity! Although it's really shameful to steal other people's poems and sell them for money, but it's a bit too much to charge for it."

Fu Bi nodded and said, "I think the same as Mr. Han. It's a bit of a fuss to make a fuss over a molehill, and to sue for such a serious crime."

Han Qi smiled and said, "This is what makes people curious. How will Zhang San's lawsuit be fought in order to be convincing. I don't know what Fu Gong's opinion is?"

Fu Bi shook his head and said, "I haven't figured it out either."

If he had figured it out, he wouldn't have come here. His foot disease was still unhealed, and it was inconvenient for him to walk around.

Han Qi suddenly glanced to the side and shouted, "Su Erlang."

Su Shi had an elder brother who died young, so everyone still called him Erlang, but in fact he was the elder brother.

Su Shi, who was in the courtyard, saw Han Qi calling him, and Fu Bi was beside him, so he hurried to the corridor, "Su Shi, the junior, has met Mr. Han and Mr. Fu."

Han Qi asked: "You were quite magnanimous before, why did you become so preoccupied when you came back this time? They just stole a few poems from you, and you will kill the whole family."

Fu Bi also frowned quite dissatisfied.

Su Shi was really distressed, and hurriedly explained: "Han Xianggong misunderstood, and this junior has absolutely no intention of it. At first, this junior just heard that Zhang San's lawsuit was serious, and wanted to see it. It happened that the junior didn't like the poems that Jijuxian copied the younger generation, so I just want to use this incident to see Zhang San's methods, the junior just asks to stop others from stealing the junior's poems, I never thought that there would be such a big trouble."

Fu Bi asked, "How can this kind of thing be prevented?"

Su Shi replied: "The younger generation doesn't know, but Zhang San said yes, and the younger generation also wants to know how he will stop it."

Han Qi and Fu Bi looked at each other with confused faces.

Text is something that everyone can use, how to put an end to it.

Han Qi warned: "If Zhang San wins the lawsuit at that time, you can only claim some money at most, and you must not convict too serious a crime."

Although he is extremely extravagant in life, he is still very kind and generous in dealing with the people.

Su Shi hurriedly said: "Even if Mr. Han didn't say it, the younger generation wouldn't do it."

Suddenly someone outside the courtyard shouted, "Here we come! We come!"

I saw a carriage passing through the crowded road and slowly coming to the gate of the mansion.

Unlike the last time, there was no cheering, no cheering, because the people standing outside the door today were almost all literati, only Cao Dongdong, Ma Xiaoyi and other yamen and childe parties were mixed in, and there were no ordinary people.

The people also want to watch the excitement, but how dare they approach this scene.

When Zhang Fei got out of the carriage, only one person shouted: "I said Er Bi Zhang San, can't you change your clothes? You always wear this one."

"Pfft!"

Xu Zhiqian, who came out later, couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

Zhang Fei was not embarrassed, and argued with reason: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, I wear new ones every time."

"What's new, you do this every time, do you think we are blind?"

"Can't I make every suit exactly the same?"

".?"

Is there such a wonderful thing in the world?

Fortunately, with Xu Zhiqian, it is more pleasing to see this handsome man and beautiful woman standing forward.

As soon as Zhang Fei arrived, Lu Gongzhu was promoted immediately, he didn't want to wait for a moment, this hadn't even started, his lips were split when he greeted him.

After the majesty, the courtyard gradually quieted down.

After saluting, Mr. Lu couldn't help looking at Xu Zhiqian, and said rather dissatisfied: "You also need an assistant in this lawsuit?"

Although there is no express regulation on whether to bring an assistant, but no one has ever brought an assistant to the court, let alone a woman.Last time, it was because Gemini supported Zhang Fei, and the lawsuit was very important, so he made an exception.

You can't do this all the time!

Zhang Fei said with trepidation: "Reporting to the magistrate, this is not a small crime. Xiaomin also prepared a lot of papers. In addition, Xiaomin did not expect to open the class so soon, and the preparation is a little insufficient. I need the assistance of Mrs. Xu."

Having said that, the materials prepared this time are far less than last time, because there are not many cases, but there is also a small burden.

Lu Gong thought to himself, this charge is really not a small crime, anyway, the court has already opened this end, and I can't laugh at the old man.So he nodded and said: "Okay! I have granted permission for Mrs. Xu to come to court to assist you."

After a pause, he asked again: "Regarding this case, I also investigated clearly that Ji Juxian did pirate and print Su Shi's poems, but what does this have to do with the crime of making jackets, books and jackets?"

"Please wait a moment, magistrate."

".?"

Lu Gong was stunned for a moment, and saw Xu Zhiqian strenuously carrying the bag, while Zhang Fei was bending over, searching for something inside the bag.

"Oh! Hold on tight! It's loose, how can I find it!"

"Are you stupid? Or if you carry it, I'll look for it."

What is this doing?

Flirting?

Listening to the interrogation of Han Qi, Fu Bi and others, they all felt that it was a bit too much. Letting you go to court as a woman is already extraordinarily merciful, and it is so dishonest.

Many people just shook their heads.

Sima Guang said with a chuckle: "He's repeating his old tricks! But without your secret help, he would not have succeeded. It is impossible for the prefect of Lu to let him sit in the lawsuit."

Just now Mr. Lu complained so much, how could he let him sit down.

Wang Anshi said: "He will prove later that I did not help him secretly."

"is it?"

Sima Guang said: "Then let's wait and see."

Come again?

I'm afraid you are really addicted to sitting.

Lu Gong looked at this posture and knew that this kid was asking for a seat again.

Impossible to give!

Originally, you came every three to five times, and you were asked to sit down, so you can't come every day!

I can't get by.

you act!

You keep playing!

Sit for you, count me as loser.

Xu Zhiqian took a sneak peek at Lu Gong's work, seeing that he was indifferent, she said in a low voice: "Forget it, Kaifeng Mansion can't give us a seat."

Zhang Fei glanced at her, threw the copy in his hand into the bag, and hummed: "The treatment for a literati in a lawsuit is not as good as that for a yamen officer, and I will never accept a lawsuit by this literati again. gone."

"Ahem! Come here! Give him a table and chairs, and let him place the copy."

Lu Gong said with a wave of his hand.
