Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 106 Madman Zhang 3

Chapter 106

"Miss Xu! Madame!"

Li Si, who hurried back to Zhang's house, staggered in.

"How about it?"

Xu Zhiqian walked out of the hall immediately.

Li Si breathed heavily and said: "Xu Niangzi, third brother and Shi Erlang were arrested by Kaifeng Mansion."

Gao Wenyin, who came out later, just heard this, and couldn't help feeling dizzy and almost fell down. Fortunately, Xu Zhiqian had quick eyes and quick hands, and supported Gao Wenyin. She calmly smiled at Gao Wenyin: "Madam, don't panic, this matter is also within our expectations. Don't worry, Zhang San will be fine, I will go find my father now."

Xu Zun had predicted before that it was very likely that he would be imprisoned by the Kaifeng government.

It's a felony to say the least.

Gao Wenyin tightly grabbed Xu Zhiqian's sleeves with both hands, and said with tears in her eyes, "I'll leave everything to Mrs. Xu."

"Ma'am, there is no need to thank you." Xu Zhiqian hastily interrupted her, "I'm going to find my father right now."

"Oh, okay, Mrs. Xu, be careful on the road." Gao Wenyin let go of her hand quickly.

At this moment, Lu Gongzhuo is in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, cleaning up the chicken feathers left over from last year with a group of judges, including Xu Zun naturally.

The main debate among them is to let go of litigation, to tighten up litigation, or to regulate litigation.

The appearance of Zhang Fei last year attracted great attention from the imperial court, especially the Supreme Court and the Supreme Judiciary such as the Trial Court and the Ministry of Punishment.

We need to negotiate a result quickly.

Because every time Zhang Fei went to sue, they were caught off guard.

But as far as the matter is concerned, Zhang Fei did not violate the rules, but said it was particularly glaring, but he subtly saw that he broke through the class.

Although people could sue officials in the past, the key to success or failure lies in the game within the court, and the judiciary is only second. If you encounter Bao Zheng, you may win the lawsuit. If you encounter corrupt officials, you may involve yourself.

But Zhang Fei forced them to punish Wang Wenshan.

This makes them very afraid.

Therefore, most officials in the DPRK and China believed that the control in this area must be strengthened, there were too many loopholes, God knows what Zhang Fei would do again.

In fact, God didn't need to know, because they had already heard that Zhang Fei was about to introduce tax calculation business, and the third department was very nervous about it, and all the departments were also putting pressure on the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

This business endangers the interests of too many people.

There are currently three main arguments.

One is still the traditional point of view, which is to further restrict litigation. For example, the Ministry of Criminal Justice reviews the official documents of the bookstore once a year.

The meaning is obvious, if you are not obedient, I will not give you the official document.

This is what most people support.

This is also traditional means.

The second is the point of view put forward by Jixiang Tang Jie, to regulate, the government and the bookstore cooperate, and the Er pen is against the Er pen, and the officials use the technique of balance to control the judicial power.

This is a test of the ability to be an official and the efficiency of the government.

The third is to completely let go of litigation, but the government has to charge a certain fee.The economic acumen of the officials in the Northern Song Dynasty was quite strong. Last year, the government officials in Kaifeng complained every day. If they were given a generous bonus, it would not matter. This would also help build judicial finances.

All three arguments have their pros and cons.

Everyone is arguing about it.

After arguing for a long time, there was no result.

The key point is that Xu Zun, a weirdo, is making trouble inside. He is firmly opposed to continuing to restrain the dispute, and he controls the Dali Temple. His suggestion is also very important.

Suddenly, Huang Gui, the master of the Kaifeng Mansion, walked into the hall quickly, bowed to the people sitting there, and then came behind Lu Gongzhuo, bent down and whispered something in his ear.

"what?"

Lu Gong stood up in shock.

It also scared many people.

Yushi Zhongcheng Lu Hui couldn't help asking: "Prefect Lu, what happened?"

Lu Gong slowly turned his head to look at Lu Hui, but he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Xu Yuan, the director of Dali Temple, also ran in and whispered something in Xu Zun's ear.

Lu Gongzhu immediately looked at Xu Zun angrily.

Xu Zun's reaction was not that big, he just asked Lu Gongzhu: "Prefect Lu, the people have grievances, how can Kaifeng government arrest those who complained at will?"

Seeing that he still had the face to say it, Mr. Lu couldn't help becoming angry and said: "Why arrest people, I think Xu Si knows better than me."

Xu Zundao: "I only know that Kaifeng Mansion is doing this, which is against the rules."

"Wait a minute!"

Seeing the two of them quarreling suddenly, Lu Hei asked, "What are you talking about?"

Liu Shu, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice, asked, "Yes! What happened?"

Lu Gong snorted angrily: "Just now that Zhang San ran to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint."

"what?"

Almost everyone present was crazy about it.

They held this meeting on the first day of work, and the purpose was to prevent Zhang San's phenomenon from happening again, but that kid moved faster and didn't give them any time.

Everyone is full of bad words.

Liu Shu asked, "Who is he suing?"

Lu Gong said: "The imperial court."

"The imperial court?" Liu Shu didn't know why, "What do you mean?"

Lu Gong said: "The object of Zhang Fei's complaint this time is the imperial court."

"what?"

Except for Xu Zun, all the people sitting here turned pale with fright.

Xu Zun said calmly: "There is no law in our court that does not allow people to sue the court. Why should the Kaifeng government arrest people?"

"It doesn't make sense."

Liu Shu couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately stood up and angrily reprimanded Xu Zundao: "Now that things have happened, Xu Sishi still wants to cover up that kid, and there is no law that prohibits suing the government. Does that mean that ordinary people can also sue the government?"

Xu Zun immediately reasoned and argued: "If the officials make mistakes, why can't they sue? It's not that Yushitai has never impeached officials. It's not surprising."

Lu Hui, who was about to speak, immediately closed his mouth again.

The Yushitai led by him has always contradicted Shenzong. Last time in the case of Ayun, Yushitai directly rejected the emperor's sanction.

Also taught Shenzong a good lesson.

Liu Shudao: "That's Yushitai's authority."

Xu Zundao: "Then how did Yushitai learn about the grievance? Didn't it come from the common people? Zhang Fei went to Kaifeng Mansion to sue, and Kaifeng Mansion arrested the person who was wronged without trial. What will the people of the world think? Who will dare to go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint. I will definitely impeach you Kaifeng Mansion to the officials for abusing power and bending the law for personal gain."

Qi Hui snorted, "Who is bending the law for personal gain? Maybe the person behind this matter is you, Xu Zhongtu."

Xu Zun replied directly: "So what? Isn't it our duty to avenge the people?"

Qi Hui sneered and said, "Whether it's a grievance or not, I haven't found out yet."

"So can we arrest people directly?" Xu Zun asked.

Qi Hui said: "That kid is suing the imperial court."

Xu Zundao: "But there is no regulation in our court, so we can't sue the court."

Lu He stood up and said, "Don't quarrel now. In my opinion, this is the first time Kaifeng Mansion has encountered such a situation. It's not a case of favoritism. Let's check it out before we talk about it!"

Xu Zun glanced at Lu Gongzhu, "If the Kaifeng government dares to abuse the lynching, I will never let it go."

Not to mention, Dali Temple really has this power.

Mr. Lu didn't bother to pay attention to Xu Zun, whether you want to tell him or not, he cupped his hands and said, "Sorry! I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Then hurried back to Kaifeng Mansion.

"Is that all?"

After Lu Gong read the pleadings, he couldn't recover for a long time.

Li Kai nodded.

Lu Gong was furious and said, "Is this kid crazy?"

He thought it was some big case, it was suing the imperial court, and it was the law of the ancestors, and the result... the result?

Really are.!

Li Kai said: "At first I thought so too, but when I calmed down, I found that it seemed reasonable for him to do so."

Mr. Lu was in a fit of anger, he was very upset and said: "What's the reason?"

Li Kaidao: "Such things like this are not uncommon in our dynasty. The court regulations stipulate that if a yamen servant loses or damages public property, he should compensate the court. If he wants to sue, he can only sue the court."

Lu Gong couldn't help frowning.

Li Kai said again: "I just found out that the concubine that Zhang San bought back years ago is Shi Dalang's wife in this case."

"I see."

Lu Gong nodded his head and said: "But... But this is not the reason for him to sue the court. By the way, where is he now?"

Li Kaidao: "I have already been imprisoned by me. No matter what his purpose is, I think he should be taught a lesson."

Lu Gong said: "You didn't torture him, did you?"

Li Kaidao: "To tell you the truth, I really want to torture him, but look at the reason he sued, it is to sue the current imperial court for violating the law of the ancestors. I don't understand this clearly, so how dare I torture him."

Lu Gong wrote: "Release him from the prison first, and choose another place to take him in, so as not to give people a hard time."

"What about Shijiro?"

"The same."

Lu Gongzhu sighed, "We have to see how the court reacts to this matter."

Kaifeng government prison.

I saw Zhang Fei tied to a wooden cross, with various braziers and instruments of torture in front of him.

"Our brothers are in a good mood today, it's still up to you to choose, which one do you want to try?"

Holding a whip in his hand, the cell boss grinned at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei glanced at him, "I choose iron nails."

"Nails?"

"do not have it?"

Zhang Fei said: "First take me off until only a pair of white shorts are left, then nail my two palms to a wooden frame with iron nails, tie my arms with hemp rope, and put them under the scorching sun for public display until I bleed to death. Death."

The jailer blinked, "Why did you choose this way of death?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Because he's handsome."

Snapped!

The prison chief slapped Zhang Fei beside him with a whip, "You are teasing me."

A jailer said: "Now that you are in our hands, you still dare to be arrogant."

Zhang Fei sighed, "Who gave my surname Zhang?"

"you!"

The head of the cell had never seen such an arrogant prisoner. He wanted to whip his whip immediately, but was stopped by the two guards next to him.

"Let go of me! I have to teach this ignorant Erbi person a lesson today."

"You don't want to be fooled by him. It is said that this guy was beaten last time and he claimed hundreds of dollars in compensation."

".?"

The picture seemed to freeze.

At this moment, the prison door opened, Huang Gui walked in, and said with a blank expression: "Put him down."
