Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 119: Layout


This lawsuit is really thunderous, rainy, and anticlimactic. At first, the tone was so high, but in the end it turned out to be just a case of corruption.

Those ministers wished they could tell Zhang Fei directly that your trick of charging skyrocketing prices and repaying the money on the spot is really good, don’t use it next time.

Everything is easy to discuss.

However, they still don’t understand Zhang Fei. For Zhang Fei, a lawsuit is never about winning or losing, but about rights and interests.

As long as he can get the best interests for the parties involved, Zhang Fei doesn’t care if he wins or loses.

Of course, when going to court in the Northern Song Dynasty, one more consideration was one’s own safety.

He may not win this lawsuit, but he must not lose it. If he loses, he may face serious consequences.

The person with the ear pen is a very dangerous profession.

…….

So after Zhang Fei communicated, the Kaifeng government released Niu Beiqing, Feng Nanxi, and Longshan on the spot, and immediately returned the house and land of the historian. Zhang Pu’s sale contract is invalid.

As for the return of the historian’s money, as well as the 1,500 guan, they will be returned immediately. With the usual efficiency of the Song court, this matter cannot be done every year and a half. Of course, this is a shortcut .

And when Zhang Fei took Feng Nanxi and the other three, as well as the official document home, Gao Wenyin, who had been in fear for many days, couldn’t help crying with joy.

It can be regarded as looking forward to seeing the moon when the clouds open.

The heart that had been hanging all this time finally fell down.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: “I hope Mrs. Gao will stop frowning in the future.”

Gao Wenyin was stunned, her tears stopped, and she was relieved to hear that he changed her address, and said guiltily: “I have caused a lot of trouble to my benefactor these days, Wen Yin would like to thank you Grace’s forgiveness and care.”

A pair of watery almond eyes gathered tears again, but this time I was grateful for the tears.

Zhang Fei just smiled and said, “This is my job. I save 180 people like you every year.”

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes, this person can really brag.

But it didn’t expose him.

It’s harmless after all!

At this time, that Niu Beiqing suddenly squeezed forward, cupped his fists and saluted, “Back then, I was too blind to see Mount Tai and offended my benefactor. Niu is here to make amends to benefactor. If benefactor has anything to do in the future, even if you tell me, Da Niu, even if you go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, I will never frown.”

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: “There is no need to go up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire. I just hope that I will be able to let me survive when I encounter you blocking the road and robbing me in the future.”

Niu Beiqing scratched his head in embarrassment, “I… let me tell you, how…how can I be a robber.”

Zhang Fei said with a smile: “If you don’t become a robber, you are really burying talents.”

When Shi Tingxiu heard this, he burst out laughing.

Zhang Fei glanced at Feng Nanxi suddenly, seeing that she had been silent all this time, he suddenly asked, “By the way! What are your plans now?”

They looked at Feng Nanxi in unison.

Just now, Feng Nanxi kept silent, as if she was preoccupied. Seeing Zhang Fei’s eyes, she opened her mouth and asked instead, “Dare to ask your benefactor, is Judge Liu really the culprit?”

This sentence made their hearts lift up.

“About this question…!”

Zhang Fei frowned: “Actually, I have also asked the prefect Lu, but the clues have been cut off here, and the prefect Lu also believes that there is not much official money, so it is unlikely that more people will be involved, or Say a bigger official.”

Feng Nanxi still expresses doubts: “I have been in the government office before, and I am very clear about this. Even if Judge Liu is really the culprit behind the scenes, we have offended many people because of this. Will we suffer retaliation in the future. “

As Gao Wenyin listened, she became nervous again, “Seventh brother, this… this shouldn’t be possible?”

Feng Nanxi frowned and said, “Even if they don’t dare to act rashly for the time being, who can guarantee that they won’t retaliate against us after this turmoil is over?

Xu Zhiqian at the side glanced at Zhang Fei secretly, and suddenly said: “Zhang San, I think Brother Feng Qi is right, can you find a way to protect them?”

Zhang Fei said dejectedly: “How can I protect this? I’m just an ear-splitting person. The only thing I can do is to help them win this lawsuit. It’s not easy to do this.”

Feng Nanxi hurriedly said: “Engong, I am definitely not blaming Engong. We have nothing to repay Engong for our great kindness. I am just worried about it.”

Xu Zhiqian said again: “I have an idea, I wonder if it works?”

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said, “What’s your idea, Mrs. Xu?”

Xu Zhiqian suddenly looked at Feng Nanxi, “Brother Feng Qi, what are your plans for the future?”

Feng Nanxi shook her head and said, “I don’t have any plans for the time being, but I hope Mrs. Xu can point out a way for us?”

Xu Zhiqian said to Zhang Fei again: “Zhang San, don’t you need helpers right now? Why don’t you just keep them, with you here, the government will not dare to take revenge on them easily.”

Feng Nanxi and Shi Tingxiu couldn’t help looking at Zhang Fei expectantly.

After this incident, they cast all their hearts on Zhang Fei, and they really used Kaifeng Mansion as a toilet.

It would be best to stay by his side.

Zhang Fei hesitated for a while and asked, “Would you like to…!”

Before he finished speaking, Feng Nanxi and Shi Tingxiu clasped their fists together and said, “Our brothers are willing to be driven by the benefactor and repay the benefactor for saving his life.”

Niu Beiqing, who was belatedly aware of it, also clasped his fists quickly.

Only Longshan remained silent.

“Okay then! You stay here.”

Speaking, Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Gao Wenyin again.

“I…”

Gao Wenyin seemed a little hesitant.

She originally wanted to go with her deceased husband, but later she promised Zhang Fei that she would not seek death again, but she didn’t think about the future, and she didn’t know what to do.

But after thinking about it, Zhang Fei has great kindness to her, and now he is willing to take in Shi Tingxiu and the others. He is also very grateful in his heart. He only feels that he owes Zhang Fei too much, and hopes to pay back some, so he bowed: “Wen Yin is also willing to be a servant of the benefactor, to repay the kindness of the benefactor.”

Zhang Fei said: “Actually, I really want to keep Mrs. Gao. Since Mrs. Gao came, my house has been taken care of in an orderly manner. If Mrs. Gao is willing to stay, I am also very happy. I am a slave, Mrs. Gao You can figure it out yourself, but on the surface, whether you can continue to maintain the relationship between husband and wife.”

“Huh?”

Gao Wenyin blushed, looking a little uneasy.

Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: “It’s also my fault. At the beginning, those people came to congratulate me, saying that it was a good story for me to embrace a beautiful woman in quatrains. I also…followed their words and said a few big words. If I let them know the truth, I’m afraid they will laugh at me all day long.”

Gao Wenyin was very conflicted, and secretly took a look at Shi Tingxiu.

Shi Tingxiu didn’t know what to do.

Xu Zhiqian suddenly said: “Sister Gao, I have something to say, I don’t know if I should say it or not?”

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: “Madam Xu, please tell me?”

Xu Zhiqian said: “I just think that in the eyes of others, you are already Madam Zhang, and as far as they know, Zhang San is also seeking justice for Madam, if Madam suddenly reveals that all this is false.

I’m afraid that someone will slander Madam with bad words, saying that Madam is just using Zhang San, which will be more troublesome. Now that Madam has decided to stay in the Zhang family, instead of letting go of this identity, it is better to put it aside first, so as not to cause complications. “

However, Gao Wenyin’s heart is still in the historian, according to etiquette, this matter should be decided by Shi Tingxiu.

Shi Tingxiu had no idea, it was really difficult for him in this matter, so he looked at Feng Nanxi.

Feng Nanxi agrees with Xu Zhiqian’s point of view very much. No matter what the facts are, in the eyes of everyone, Gao Wenyin is already Mrs. Zhang, and if she goes back, it will damage Gao Wenyin’s reputation and cause a lot of trouble.

Shi Tingxiu nodded slightly.

Gao Wenyin then said: “Okay! Just… just what Yi Engong said.”

After they went out, Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Xu Zhiqian and said, “I really thank Mrs. Xu just now.”

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly: “Even if I don’t make a sound, they don’t dare to leave you, just like Li Si back then. The key point I think is that they stay by your side, which is good for you and them .And it can also make you owe me a favor, Zhang Sanlang is not so good now.”

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: “I owe you Xu’s family favors, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it in this lifetime, so why bother Mrs. Xu.”

“It’s owed to my father, not to me.” Xu Zhiqian said.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, “Okay! Just treat it as if I owe you a favor.”

Xu Zhiqian’s guess was right. Zhang Fei had already thought about keeping these people by his side, but he knew that these people couldn’t do without him. Feng Nanxi’s worries were not unreasonable. Many of the commanders suffered heavy losses, and if given the chance, the government would definitely retaliate against them.

There is no way to take Zhang San, but I am afraid it is you, Shi Er.

So he was very generous at the beginning.

……

Three days later, the Kaifeng government finally announced the results of the case.

Avoid the important and ignore the minor, don’t talk about the law of the ancestors, but inform the citizens of the original case, and announce the punishment for Liu Jing and others, and they will be punished even if they die.

At the same time, he stated that he would immediately return all the property of the historian, and inform the people that, according to the emperor’s decree, the imperial court will reform the labor law this year, so as to prevent such evils from happening again.

The people in Kaifeng Mansion wept with joy and rushed to tell each other.

On that day, Wang Anshi surpassed Zhang Fei and became the number one on the hot list.

Few mention Zhang Fei.

After all, the **** decides the head, and the people know that Zhang Fei can only save his family at most, and the one who can really avenge the world has to be the real man Wang Anshi!

In the previous debate, everyone knew that Wang Anshi was going to reform.

The people are looking forward to it.

Wang Anshi won the lawsuit.

It has laid a very, very wonderful start for his reform.

The key point is that this also indicates that the reform is irreversible.

If it does not change, the people will lose their trust.

It can be seen that Shenzong is determined to break the boat.

Changing Arch Hall.

The person standing here today is not Wang Anshi, but Sima Guang.

“I have decided to use Wang Jiefu’s reform.”

Zhao Xu said with a little guilt.

Both Sima Guang and Wang Anshi proposed reform strategies, and for Shenzong, it was one of the two.

Now he has chosen Wang Anshi.

Sima Guang sighed secretly in his heart, but said on his mouth: “Your Majesty has the heart to strive for governance, which is the blessing of my people in the Great Song Dynasty.”

Actually, he is not opposed to Wang Anshi’s reform now, he is just worried because he understands Wang Anshi’s temperament, now that the matter is over, let’s try it.

I don’t know if it’s a mule or a horse.

Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: “Your talent is also what I need, and I also hope that you can try my best to assist me in governing the country well. Then Lu Zhongcheng was ill, and he also took the initiative to play and said that it would be difficult to lead Yushitai again , I plan to promote Qing as a political advisor and lead the Yushitai.”

Although nominally, the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty were under Tong Zhongshu’s family, but since Renzong, Shenzhi Zhengshi has gradually become the real prime minister, and Tong Zhongshu’s peace has become an honorary title.

You don’t need to think about it, you know, Wang Anshi will also be promoted to be a political adviser at that time.

This is the emperor’s mind.

Zhao Xu’s trust in Wang Anshi is unquestionable, but as an emperor, he still has to balance the situation between the court and China.

That Lu Hui is too straightforward, he directly launched a personal attack on Wang Anshi before, and he has shown his personal dislike for Wang Anshi to the fullest.

Everyone in the court knew that Lu Hui hated Wang Anshi very much.

And Yushitai is scolding.

It is impossible for Zhao Xu to let Lu Hui continue to serve as Yushi Zhongcheng. Although Lu Hui is indeed ill, he did not take the initiative to resign, but Zhao Xu gave him a hint that if you don’t leave by yourself, I will also rush. you go.

On the contrary, Sima Guang has never publicly expressed his opposition to Wang Anshi’s reform, and it is reasonable for him to compete with Wang Anshi.

Shenzong hoped that Sima Guang would come to power and appease the conservatives.

Let’s not make trouble first, and put the national interest first.

Sima Guang pondered a little, and said: “Your Majesty Long En, I am very grateful, and I also hope to continue to assist the Holy King, but I have other ideas.”

Zhao Xu hurriedly asked: “What do you think?”

Sima Guangdao: “Recently, I have been inspired by these few lawsuits, and found that whether the country’s policies are good or bad, they are ultimately reflected in the people. If there are bad policies, they will eventually be put into lawsuits. The Trial Court, starting from the smallest details, assists His Majesty in governing the country.”

At present, among the judicial and legislative departments, the Trial Court has the greatest power. The power of the Trial Court comes from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and it has both legislative and judicial powers.

Zhao Xu’s eyes lit up, Wang Anshi was in charge of the overall situation, and Sima Guang was in charge of the subtleties. The big and small ones are appropriate and in line with their personalities, so he said: “I am deeply moved by your good intentions.” .”

At this point, he paused for a while, “It’s just the position of Yushi Zhongcheng?”

As for the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, he will definitely arrange for conservatives to take over. As an emperor, if he trusts a courtier, he will still keep a few hands.

If the Yushitai is controlled by Wang Anshi’s people, then who will monitor Wang Anshi?

Sima Guang had expected it a long time ago, but he originally planned to let Lu Heo continue to serve, but he never thought that Lu Heo’s upright temper would not be kept.

However, he has already thought of another candidate, “I suggest that Duke Wen take the position.”

The Duke Wen he was referring to was naturally Wen Yanbo. Now Wen Yanbo is at home half-timed, and once emperor and courtier, Shenzong came to the throne, so he stepped down and was replaced by Chen Shengzhi.

Chen Shengzhi was recommended by Wang Anshi.

I also listened to Sima Guangdao: “Mr. Wen is very wise and brave, considers Zhou Zao’s secrets, knows the law, and understands human relationships. He once served as a censor. He is more suitable to be a censor than a minister.”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

After all, Wen Yanbo’s status is higher than Wang Anshi’s. He has already been a prime minister. If he leads the Yushitai, it will be self-defeating.

The key point is that there is another chess piece that is uncertain.
