Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 196: Who is Min

Zhao Pin was also taken aback, he was also fascinated by what he heard, Zhang Fei's sentence "I'm done asking", also made him a little at a loss.

Wei Yushan's crime is a certainty.

But the problem is that this lawsuit does not accuse Wei Yushan, Wei Yushan is present as a witness, not a prisoner, it is Wang Hong who is suing!

Could it be that you just want to use Wang Hong to convict Wei Yushan?

Hmm.

It is possible.

After all, Wei Yushan's confession is very beneficial to Wang Hong.

It is honest and honest.

But you did too much just now, you almost drove Wang Hong crazy.

If Wang Hong is innocent, he must take revenge on you.

Only Xu Zhiqian knew about it. This is not using Wang Hong to convict Wei Yushan. The blind person can see that the release of water is so obvious. So after Zhang Fei sat down, Xu Zhiqian asked very unhappily: "You are too unfair. You are so kind to Wei Yushan, why can't you ask a few more questions?"

She really hates people like Wei Yushan so much that she just wanted to kick Zhang Fei twice. Because she knew Zhang Fei very well, with Zhang Fei's words, she could even ask about capital crimes.

Even if you want to release water, you have released it too much.

There was no pressure at all, Wei Yushan did it all by himself.

Zhang Fei explained helplessly: "I also want to ask a few more questions, but our goal is not to let Wei Yushan die. Judging from the current situation, we have already achieved our goal. Here comes the problem. Look at Fan Sijian, who just sat here without making a sound. If he completely abandons Wei Yushan, he will really be unstoppable."

Xu Zhiqian snorted, but did not make a sound.

As Xu Zun's daughter, she also knows that some things are so helpless, but even if her sister is upset, she can't hide it. Zhang Fei is alone by her side, so she can only talk about Zhang Fei to relieve her anger.

Fan Chunren was already ready to admit defeat, but when he saw the turn of the road and the bright future, he stood up immediately and said, "Presiding officer, the facts have proved that Wangzhi County did not accept any bribes from Wei Yushan, and Being an upright official, organizing rich gentry from the villagers, building water conservancy projects, and building roads, although in the case of Geng Ming, the magistrate of Wang County was indeed negligent, but it was definitely not to cover up Wei Yushan. sin."

Zhang Fei hurriedly stood up and said, "Fan Sijian, with such serious corruption and bribery, you still say that he is an upright official, or that your judgment standards for admonishing officials are different from common sense."

Different from common sense? If you say I'm fine, you'll ridicule our admonisher as well.

Fan Chunren raised his eyebrows and said, "I hope you can show some respect."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I'm sorry! I'm just talking about the facts, nothing else."

Fan Chunren didn't care about these things with him, and asked: "Wei Yushan just explained that he never bribed the magistrate Wang, and you can't produce any evidence. How can you talk about this serious corruption and bribery?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "There is no regulation in the law. You have to pay money, which is called corruption and bribery."

Zhao Pin was in a hurry, so he asked: "Zhang San, don't play tricks, show it if you have evidence."

…Zhang Fei said: "Actually, Wei Yushan has made it very clear just now that he did not take money to bribe Wang Hong, at least I can't find any evidence, but every time Wangzhi County needs money to build water conservancy projects and roads, he They will take the initiative to donate money, and it is quite a lot.”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was stunned.

This is a good thing!

Building water conservancy and building roads are all things that benefit the people of the country.

Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding what was wrong with it.

Hearing wealth from the people refers to this point. Although the 'people' is almost meaningless, there is nothing wrong with the officials' approach.

Zhao Pin even said directly: "This is good for the country's construction, and it is a good thing. How come there is corruption and bribery."

Zhang Fei asked: "The presiding judge has ever thought about why Wei Yushan is willing to donate money to Wangzhi County."

Zhao Pindao: "Didn't Wei Yushan just say that, he appreciates Wang Zhixian's work style."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Maybe there are reasons for this, but if Wang Zhixian is like Geng Ming, I think it is impossible for Wei Yushan to donate money to him."

Wang Anshi was the first to react, Fu Xu laughed and said: "This kid promised me, but he really didn't miss a single thing."

Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "It's even overfulfilled."

Wang Anshi smiled and nodded.

Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and the others frowned, and they gradually realized the problem.

Zhao Pin is the chief interrogator, he has to ask clearly, he can't just guess: "What do you want to explain?"

Zhang Fei said: "If the magistrate of Wang County simply asks big landlords like Wei Yushan to donate money, whether it's to scare them or cheat them, it's a manifestation of their ability, even if they don't urge them to pay their taxes, it's still a good performance.

There are some facts that everyone knows in their hearts. Many big landlords evade taxes. If they can donate money at a critical moment, it is indeed very good.

However, if you take a closer look at the agricultural tax revenue of Kaifeng County, you will find that the magistrate of Wang County also performed very well in terms of taxation, which is also the main reason why he was quickly promoted to the county magistrate of Kaifeng County. "

Zhao Pin wondered: "Isn't this better?"

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Did the presiding judge carefully read Geng Ming's pleadings."

Zhao Pin nodded.

Zhang Fei said: "It shouldn't be hard to find out that Wei Yushan's fields for tax evasion are increasing every year."

Zhao Pin looked again, nodded and said: "It is indeed increasing every year."

Zhang Fei said: "I believe that the situation of many big landlords is also the same, that is to say, in the case of constant cultivated land, although the tax-free land is increasing every year, the total tax revenue remains unchanged or is still increasing. These taxes come from Where did it come from?"

Fan Chunren immediately said: "You can't speculate on other big landlords based on Wei Yushan's family."

"I have proof."

Zhang Fei turned his hands to the side, and put a document in his hand, "This is Wang Hong's tax revenue for the two years since he became the magistrate of Kaifeng County, as well as the tax and bank accounts that I secretly investigated."

Fan Chunren asked: "Where did you get your tax account?"

Zhang Fei said: "Provided by the Sili Yuan."

Fan Chunren suddenly remembered that he represented the Si Li Yuan.

…There are bad guys within the bureaucracy.

Although the Executive Yuan doesn't care about finances, it works within a system after all. If you want to get these books, there must be a way.

But it was actually provided by Lu Huiqing.

Lu Jiawen doesn't have this ability yet.

Zhao Pindao: "Present."

Zhang Fei said: "We secretly sent people to random checks. There are 150 households in the second, third and fourth grades in total. It can be clearly found that the taxes they pay every year are increasing, and all of them are in the same area. , and reduced.

The accounting situation provided by the Siliyuan is completely consistent with what I have checked.

Why is this happening? It is because Wangzhi County has distributed almost all the land mu tax of those big landlords to ordinary farmers, and the second-class households like Geng Ming have the highest increase.

Because the second-class households have money, but no power and status, and everyone shares some equally, they can still bear it and will not cause trouble.

The means used, both Liu Dong and Geng Ming have made it very clear just now, I don't understand why no one has questioned until now, what is the extra money they paid? "

Fan Chunren said: "Wei Yushan did all this, what does it have to do with Wangzhi County?"

"Fan Sijian, don't worry."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I have another document here, oh, it was also provided by the Si Liyuan, and it is about the land tax lawsuit handled by Kaifeng County in the past two years."

Xu Zhiqian handed it over to him immediately.

Zhang Fei took the document and raised it, "The land tax disputes handled by Wang Zhi County are three times that of the previous county magistrate, and the severity of punishment is far more than that of his predecessor. The word "iron face" is well-deserved.

But what about selflessness? But not necessarily. All of them punish second-, third- and fourth-class households, and there are very few cases involving first-class households. Even if there are, the judgments are all in favor of first-class households, without exception. "

Speaking of which, he handed the documents to the civil servants who came over, and continued: "The secret of Wang Zhi County's promotion is very simple, that is, he gives great tolerance to big landlords and big gentry, allowing them to annex land. At the same time, very strict judicial supervision is given to second-, third-, and fourth-class households.

He uses the so-called strict law enforcement, which is to force the second, third and fourth class households to share the tax evasion of the big landlords, and then use gentle tricks to win the favor of those big landlords. When he needs money to build water conservancy, the big landlords are willing to donate Money, everyone is tacit.

Therefore, Wangzhi County's political achievements can only be described in two words, 'excellent', he has done things without spending money from the court, and if the court does not promote him, he will be promoted. But he is really a one-off man.

I also believe that Wang Hong may have never received money from others.

But I would like to ask everyone, how much can you buy the position of magistrate in Kaifeng County? "

The courtyard was completely silent.

So it is! Only then did Fan Chunren suddenly realize, but he immediately questioned: "At best, this can only be regarded as evidence that Wangzhi County is a corrupt official, not evidence of Wangzhi County's corruption and bribery."

Everyone understands the truth, but in the courtroom, what is said is still the law. Based on this alone, you cannot sue for corruption and bribery. It can only be regarded as supporting evidence at most.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "So I am not suing for corruption and bribery, but for committing human crime."

…Fan Chunren was at a loss for words.

Generally speaking, the crime of committing a crime is accompanied by corruption and bribery, which is given and received privately.

However, judging from the interpretation of "Song Xingtong", this is not a necessary condition.

Common sense is no substitute for law.

Zhang Fei looked around, and said loudly: "There is no doubt about it, Wang Hong Wang Zhixian is definitely an official with outstanding ability and rich experience in handling cases.

Besides, he has also judged many tax lawsuits during the tax payment period. It is impossible for him to ignore Geng Ming's grievances because of the tax payment.

Then there is only one reason, that is, Wang Zhixian tried to cover Wei Yushan. From the case of Bianjing Law Firm's ear pen and Liu Dong's experience, it is not difficult to see that he is actually a recidivist. The people's lawsuit shows that the refusal is just a habit of Wang Hong, which is even more terrible than special care.

He is benevolent and loves the people. He loves big landlords, rich gentry, and big country gentry.

His love and hatred are so contradictory, which also caused contradictions everywhere during the interrogation just now, making it difficult for people to tell whether he is a good official or a corrupt official. But as long as this 'people' is distinguished, then everything can be explained clearly and clearly.

Wei Yushan definitely appreciates him from the bottom of his heart, but his appreciation is just the evidence of Wang Hong's evil.

Unless the imperial court wrote "benevolent government and loving the people" and "storing wealth from the people" into "Song Xingtong", and stated that the "people" only refers to rich gentry, big landlords, and squires, otherwise, Wang Hong would definitely commit a crime. It's a crime. "

"Kill this gouge!"

"Guardian!"

"If you don't judge this gouguan for committing a crime, what is the law of heaven!"

The citizens at the door suddenly went crazy, raising their arms and shouting, hysterical, gnashing their teeth.

The resentment is overwhelming.

It's still the same sentence, the people don't worry about scarcity but inequality.

If you really want political achievements, you can be more ruthless. If you treat everyone equally and impose excessive taxes on everyone, even if you are more ruthless, the people will not be so angry.

As a result, you let the low-level households share the taxes of the high-level households.

This is worse than corrupt officials.

There was a dead silence in the courtyard.

Only Wang Anshi stared at Sima Guang, who was opposite, and kept his mouth shape "Tibet the wealth from the people, the wealth from the people, the wealth from the people, the wealth from the people".

Sima Guang was so angry that he turned his face away.

It's a pity that Wang Anshi could only hold back his laughter, he was too embarrassed to laugh out loud with such high emotions outside.

But after reviewing the case, he was very happy.

Zhao Pin looked at Fan Chunren.

Fan Chunren is not a professional earbuster after all, he is also an official, shouting so loudly outside, if he wants to argue, it may ruin his father's reputation, the key is that he is powerless to refute the accusation, he can only justify it, It doesn't make a lot of sense.

He just shook his head and sat back.

Zhao Pin slapped the gavel and immediately pronounced that Wang Hong committed the crime of manslaughter.
