Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 261: I am a pen
Chapter 261 I am a pen
Kaifeng Prefecture.
“Forget it, forget it.”
Li Kai waved his hand, and said: “If we continue to investigate the current situation, I’m afraid it will cause trouble to the upper body.”
Although the scholars outside have not yet pointed the finger at Kaifeng Mansion, their spontaneous behavior is clearly to protect the tabloid. If Kaifeng Mansion continues to investigate, Li Kai is also worried that these scholars will be angered.
You must know that a large part of these scholars are Jinshi and young officials, and their strength is also very strong.
Huang Gui said: “The lower officials think that we still have to continue the investigation.”
Li Kai looked at Huang Gui, “How do you say that?”
Huang Guidao: “If we give up the investigation, the other party may become even more unscrupulous. Now that the situation is turbulent, if another tabloid comes out, it may further get out of control and cause a catastrophe.
Anyway, our Kaifeng Mansion is following orders, they blame us, we have reasons to shirk, but if there is another tabloid, it is our responsibility! “
Li Kai nodded slightly when he heard this, “What the master said is reasonable, then according to what the master said, continue to send people to investigate this matter, and at the same time send more people to ensure that there will be no more tabloids.”
Just as he was talking, a yamen servant stood in front of the door, “The report has been passed, and someone is suing.”
Li Kai subconsciously asked: “Could it be Zhang San?”
Because the provincial government rarely hears cases, only Zhang Santian comes here.
The yamen servant nodded awkwardly: “It’s Zhang San.”
Li Kai clenched his fist and thumped the table heavily, “Isn’t this kid messy enough?”
Huang Gui said: “Maybe Zhang San came here for this.”
Li Kai frowned, “Yes, the tabloid matter has a lot to do with him. He didn’t come here to sue Wang Xueshi, did he?”
Huang Gui dare not speak in vain.
Li Kai immediately asked someone to bring Zhang Fei in.
But when he saw Zhang Fei, Li Kai’s eyebrows twitched and the corners of his mouth twitched, as if he had already entered a state of stroke, he gritted his teeth and said mockingly: “Your business is good!”
Zhang Fei almost didn’t laugh out loud, cupped his hands and said: “Thank you for your concern, I can still make ends meet.”
Li Kai asked again: “Who do you want to sue this time?”
Zhang Fei said: “On behalf of Wang Anshi, a bachelor, I am suing Su Shi for leaking major events, making jackets and writings, and denouncing Chengyu for three serious crimes. This is the pleading paper of Xiaomin.”
Speaking, he presented the paper with both hands.
As soon as these words came out, Li Kai and Huang Gui were shocked and looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Huang Gui went straight over and brought the pleading paper, and after seeing it, he looked even more confused, and handed it to Li Kai.
Li Kai looked puzzled and said, “Zhang San, did you make a mistake?”
Zhang Fei was puzzled and said, “How does the general judge say this?”
Li opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and then said: “Aside from my status as a judge, let’s discuss the matter. It was Wang Xueshi who closed your bookstore, and Su Shi’s words were for you. If you don’t agree, you are suing Su Shi for Wang Xueshi, isn’t this an act of revenge?”
Zhang Fei replied: “I am a pen.”
Li Kai looked at him suspiciously.
Zhang Fei said again: “Scholar Wang hired me to fight the lawsuit. As a professional Erbi, there is no reason to refuse, no matter whether it is beneficial to me or not.”
Huang Gui asked: “So you also know that Su Shi is complaining for you.”
Zhang Fei said: “I don’t think so, they are for themselves, and I am the victim of the tabloids, not the beneficiary. My father-in-law was once victimized by the tabloids.”
Li Kai and Huang Gui looked at each other again, showing some hesitation.
Zhang Fei said: “I know that this matter has brought a lot of troubles to the Kaifeng Mansion. Instead of being so panicked and uneasy, it is better to resolve this matter openly, and I think that once the Kaifeng Mansion accepts the case, the imperial court will probably send another person Come for trial.”
As soon as these words came out, Li Kai’s eyes lit up. This kid is really clever, but he didn’t show his face. “You go back first. The Kaifeng Mansion will carefully consider this case, and we will notify you when there is news.”
“Xiaomin resigns.”
After Zhang Fei left, Li Kai said to Huang Gui, “This kid has some truths.”
Huang Gui nodded and said: “Yes! Whether to investigate this matter, whether to arrest or not depends on whether Su Shi violated the law, and whether the tabloid was illegal. It is really difficult to judge. Litigation is indeed the most important thing. A good solution.”
Speaking of this, he paused for a while, “I just don’t know if the higher-ups will agree to hold a trial for this case.”
Li Kaidao: “Don’t forget, Wang Jiefu hired Zhang San. If Wang Jiefu is not sure, can he sue?”
Huang Gui nodded: “That’s true.”
Li Kai hardly hesitated, and hurriedly reported to the court.
Because he knows in his heart that if it can be done, it must not be him who came here. Send someone else, or he’ll have to clean up the mess.
It happened that Zhao Yan, Lu Gongzhu, Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and Chen Shengzhi were all discussing how to solve this matter in the Zhengshitang.
Seeing this paper, everyone was dumbfounded.
Moreover, Wang Anshi wrote the pleading paper himself. At that time, Wang Anshi disliked Xu Zhiqian’s writing skills, so he asked Zhang Fei to dictate, and he wrote the pleading paper himself.
“Wang Jiefu, what do you want to do?”
Sima Guang shook the paper and asked Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi said: “I, Wang Anshi, have been upright and upright all my life. I am worthy of the heaven and the earth. Although those people slandered me badly, I will not rely on my status and power to deal with them. Therefore, I decided to use legal means to defend my reputation. “
Sima Guang said: “Don’t tell me these things, I don’t know you Wang Jiefu yet. You will only make things more complicated.”
Grand Lu secretly rejoiced that we left, the lawsuit really got more and more complicated, but he persuaded him: “Jiefu, we were all there when we discussed the matter, and we knew your worries. This is nothing at all. There are many misunderstandings in the middle of the big event, and it should be made small.”
“No.”
Wang Anshi said: “If everything is big and small, then everything can’t be solved. I hate this kind of muddy way the most in my life. Under the bright and bright world, right and wrong are black and white, and they can be seen at a glance.
I am dignified to participate in political affairs, and now I am willing to go to court with a little Jinshi, what do you want from me? “
Wen Yanbo said: “As a political adviser, you don’t care about the overall situation, and you are still making strong arguments here, which is really unreasonable.”
Wang Anshi said: “As a political adviser, I have been so humble that I have been slandered by people. Don’t I even have the right to sue now?”
Wen Yanbo said: “But you are not the only one who has the final say on the Zhengshitang.”
Wang Anshi asked: “What does Duke Wen mean?”
Wen Yanbo glanced at him and asked, “Do you think the court should accept this dispute?”
Sima Guang immediately said: “I object.”
Chen Shengzhi said: “I support.”
Grand Lu glanced at Sima Guang, then at Wang Anshi, and said, “I abstain.”
All eyes are on Zhao Yan.
Zhao Bian said: “Appealing to the court is an upright method, and there is nothing wrong with it.”
Wang Anshi looked at Wen Yanbo with a smile: “Do you want to invite Mr. Fu and Mr. Zeng to come over and ask?”
“When the time comes, clean it up yourself.”
After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, he left angrily.
We are here to find a way to help you calm down this matter, but you have to add fuel to the fire.
Sima Guang also got up and left.
But after Sima Guang left, he went straight to Zhang’s house.
As a result, Zhang Fei was found at the Xu family next door.
At this time, Zhang Fei was sitting in the house talking with Xu’s father and daughter, and a copy of “Song Xingtong” was placed on the table.
Sima Guang looked at Xu Zhiqian, and said with an unfriendly expression: “Qian’er, you go back to the house first, I have something to discuss with your father and Zhang San.”
“Yes, Qian’er is leaving.”
After Xu Zhiqian left, Sima Guang asked Zhang Fei, “Zhang San, what do you want?”
Speaking of this matter, the three of them are the culprits, why Zhang Fei ran to join Wang Anshi to fight the lawsuit.
Sima Guang believed that Zhang Fei should discuss this matter with him.
After all, he also has a part in this matter.
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: “Scholar Sima, please listen to my explanation.”
Where can Sima Guang sit down, said: “You explain first.”
“Yes.”
Zhang Fei nodded and asked: “Bachelor Sima thinks that the person who leaked the secrets of the Criminal Court back then broke the law?”
Sima Guang was taken aback for a moment, and couldn’t help looking at Xu Zun.
What do you mean by that?
Accuse your father-in-law of breaking the law?
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: “I’m just assuming.”
Sima Guang said: “Of course it’s against the law. The law clearly stipulates that if you leak a major event, you can be sentenced to death by hanging.”
Zhang Fei said: “Then the person who prints the tabloid and publishes this secret is breaking the law?”
Sima Guang glanced at him again, isn’t that what you did. After thinking about it, he said, “It’s also illegal.”
Zhang Fei asked: “What crime should be dealt with?”
Sima Guang said: “It should be treated as the same crime.”
Zhang Fei asked again: “Is it illegal to print tabloids?”
Sima Guang said: “There is no such regulation.”
Zhang Fei said: “If it is said that printing tabloids is not illegal, but at the same time, those who print tabloids do not know that the content they publish is a secret of the imperial court. Is it inappropriate to say that it is the same crime?”
Sima Guang stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said: “I am not here to discuss the law with you.”
Zhang Fei asked again: “Does Master Sima think that Mr. Su broke the law?”
Sima Guangdao: “I am guilty of speech in North Korea. Besides, Su Shi’s words can only be regarded as inappropriate words at best, but they must not be regarded as illegal. If this precedent is set, there will be endless troubles.”
Zhang Fei said again: “Then Sima University thinks that Wang Xueshi’s worries are justified?”
Sima Guang nodded slightly and said, “What Wang Jiefu said has his reasons, and I agree with that.”
Zhang Fei said: “If it is said that Mr. Su is not punished today, and something that Wang Xueshi is worried about happens again, how should the court treat Mr. Su’s words?”
Sima Guang stroked his beard, “Because there were very few tabloids before, most of the things discussed were anecdotes, and the imperial court did not have legislative supervision on this aspect.”
“This is the problem.”
Zhang Fei said: “These two questions both illustrate one point. In this matter, there are actually no specific laws to follow. The only ones that can be related are mainly three laws. crime, and the crime of denouncing public opinion.
But relying on these three laws, it is almost impossible to try this case fairly. As a result, it has become like this, where the public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law has suffering. The final result is that whoever has the most power has the final say.
Isn’t this what Sima University is worried about? “
Sima Guang’s expression softened slightly, “Do you want to use this lawsuit to perfect the law in this regard?”
Zhang Fei said: “I will only defend the interests of the employer. As for the final judgment, that is the presiding officer’s business.”
Sima Guang nodded slightly: “The final judgment is still in the hands of the court.”
