Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 106: The madman Zhang San
“Miss Xu! Ma’am!”
Li Si who hurried back to Zhang’s house staggered in.
“How is it?”
Xu Zhiqian immediately walked from the hall.
Li Si breathed heavily and said: “Miss Xu, the 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 smiled calmly at Gao Wenyin: “Madam, don’t panic, this matter It’s also within our expectations, don’t worry, Zhang San will be fine, I’ll go find my dad now.”
Xu Zun had predicted before that this would most likely be imprisoned by the Kaifeng government.
This kind of thing is a felony.
Gao Wenyin tightly grabbed Xu Zhiqian’s sleeves with both hands, choked with tears and said: “I’ll leave everything to Mrs. Xu…”
“Ma’am, you don’t need to thank me.” 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 justices, including Xu Zun.
And the main debate is whether to let go of litigation, tighten up litigation, or regulate litigation.
The appearance of Zhang Fei last year attracted the attention of 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 can sue officials in the past, the key to success or failure lies in the game within the imperial court. Judiciary is only second. If you encounter Bao Zheng, you may win the lawsuit. go in.
But Zhang Fei forced them to punish Wang Wenshan.
This makes them very afraid.
Therefore, most officials in the DPRK and China believe that the control in this area must be strengthened, there are too many loopholes, God knows what Zhang Fei will do again.
Actually, God doesn’t need to know, because they have already heard that Zhang Fei is going to introduce tax calculation business soon, and the third department is very nervous about it, and all the departments are 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 the traditional view, which is to further restrain disputes. 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 the traditional method.
Second, it is the point of view put forward by Jixiang Tang Jie, to regulate, and the government and the bookstore cooperate to use ear pens to ear pens, and officials use the technique of balance to control 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 will 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.
Three kinds of arguments have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Everyone is arguing about this.
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 chief secretary of the Kaifeng Mansion, walked into the hall quickly, bowed to the people sitting there, and then came behind Lu Gongzhuo, bent down and murmured something in his ear.
“What?”
Mr. Lu stood up in shock.
It also scared a lot of people.
Censor 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 time, Xu Yuan, the director of Dali Temple, also ran in and murmured 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?”
When Lu Gong saw that he still had the face to say it, he couldn’t help becoming angry from embarrassment: “Why arrest people, I think Xu Si knows better than me.”
Xu Zundao: “I only know that Kaifeng Mansion did this, which is against the rules.”
“Wait a minute!”
Seeing the two of them quarreling suddenly, Lu Hui 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, the purpose of which 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 understand, so “what do you mean?”
Lu Gong said: “The object of Zhang Fei’s lawsuit is the imperial court.”
“What?”
Except for Xu Zun, all the people sitting here turned pale with fright.
Xu Zundan said: “There is no law in our court that does not allow people to sue the court. Why should the Kaifeng government arrest people?”
“The Point Guard Is Here”
“It’s unreasonable.”
Liu Shu couldn’t bear it anymore, and immediately got 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 argued with reason: “If the officials make mistakes, why can’t they sue them? 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 when Ayun was involved, Yushitai directly rejected the emperor’s sanction.
He 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. If the news spreads, what will the people of the world think? Who would dare to go to Kaifeng Mansion to sue. I will impeach you Kaifeng Mansion to the officials for abusing power and bending the law for personal gain.”
Qi Hui hummed: “Who is bending the law for personal gain? Maybe the person behind this matter is you, Xu Zhongtu.”
Xu Zun went back directly: “So what? Isn’t it our duty to avenge the people?”
Qi Hui sneered and said, “Whether it is a grievance or not, it has not been found out yet.”
“So we can arrest people directly?” Xu Zun said.
Qi Hui said: “That kid is suing the imperial court.”
Xu Zundao: “But there is no regulation in my court, so I can’t sue the court.”
Lu Hui stood up and said, “Stop arguing. From my point of view, this is the first time Kaifeng Mansion has encountered such a situation. It’s not a case of favoritism, so let’s find out before we talk about it!”
Xu Zun glanced at Lu Gong’s work, “If the Kaifeng government dares to abuse the lynching, I will never let it go.”
Not to mention, Dali Temple really has this authority.
Lu Gong is too lazy to pay attention to Xu Zun, whether you want to tell him or not, he cupped his hands and said, “I’m sorry! I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”
He rushed back to Kaifeng Mansion in a hurry.
…….
“Is that… that’s all?”
After Lu Gong read the pleadings, he couldn’t get back to his senses for a long time.
Li Kai nodded.
Lu Gong was furious and said: “Is this kid crazy?”
He thought it was some big eucalyptus, and it was suing the court, and it was the law of the ancestors, but it turned out… that’s the end result?
Really…!
Li Kai said: “At first I thought so too, but when I calmed down, I found that what he did seemed reasonable.”
Grand Lu was in a fit of anger, he was very upset and said, “What’s the point?”
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 Zhang San bought back years ago is the wife of Shi Dalang in this case.”
“I see.”
Gong Lu 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 wrote: “You didn’t torture him, did you?”
Li Kaidao: “To tell you the truth, I really want to torture him, but you can see that the reason he sued is to sue the current 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 Shi Erlang?”
“Same too.”
Gong Lu sighed, “We have to see how the court reacts to this.”
……
Kaifeng Mansion 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 up to you to choose, which one do you want to try?”
The prison boss was holding a whip and grinning at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei glanced at him, “I choose iron nails.”
“Nails?”
“No?”
Zhang Fei said: “First take me off until only a pair of white shorts are left, then use iron nails to nail my two palms to a wooden frame, tie my arms with hemp rope, and put them under the scorching sun for public display. Until she bleeds to death.”
The jailer blinked, “Why did you choose to die like this?”
Zhang Fei smiled and said, “Because he is handsome.”
Crack!
The head of the cell beat Zhang Fei with a whip, “You are teasing me.”
A jailer said: “Now that you are in our hands, how dare you be arrogant.”
Zhang Fei sighed: “Who made 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 person a lesson today.”
“You don’t want to be fooled by him. It is said that this guy was beaten last time and claimed hundreds of dollars.”
“…?”
The screen seems to freeze.
At this moment, the cell door opened, Huang Gui walked in, and said with a blank expression: “Put him down.”
