Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 542: Take it easy

At the beginning when Su Zhe stopped the lawsuit, he hoped to assert the power of the procuratorate and avoid being suppressed by the imperial court. At that time, the imperial court was too popular and the procuratorate was under a lot of pressure.

It was supposed to be prosecuted.

But later during the investigation, it was discovered that the government did not cooperate. Apart from being angry, Su Zhe was not impulsive.

When he went to discuss with Zhang Fei, he also went for the worst result.

Therefore, he actually understood Zhang Fei's doubts. In the end, he tried his best to settle the matter, but the other party still refused, which on the contrary pushed him to the edge of a cliff.

If he takes a step back, no one will take the procuratorate seriously in the future, and he must be prosecuted.

It can be seen that no matter whether Zhang Fei agrees or not, he will initiate a lawsuit, but he thinks that he should discuss it with Zhang Fei, and it is best to be able to understand each other.

It may cause you some trouble, but there is nothing I can do about it.

After receiving Zhang Fei's reply, Su Zhe returned to the procuratorate, and immediately filed an indictment to the imperial court for the crime of arrears and withholding of military pay, and the target was the Transshipment Department.

After the news broke, the officials in Hezhong Mansion were all taken aback.

With regard to Chen Guang's complaint, everyone knew about it after so long, but no one could have imagined that the procuratorate would directly sue the Transshipment Department.

This transshipment department is really not an ordinary government office.

This route of finance, transportation, salt and iron and other strategic materials are all under the management of the transshipment department. In fact, they even managed the judiciary before.

This transfer envoy is actually equivalent to a high-ranking official, but they are all temporary, have no term of office, and can be replaced at any time.

Just say those generals, who offend anyone, dare not offend the transshipment department, do you still want food and grass.

The key point is that this is also related to military pay. Military pay has always been a very sensitive issue in the Song Dynasty.

Whether it is a civil official or a military commander, they all think that this is far more terrifying than the Suizhou incident before.

In the face of interests, the dispute between civil and military is nothing!

Civil and military officials often cooperate with each other in their interests.

"Is this true?"

Zong Gu looked at Qin Zhongshou in shock and asked.

Qin Zhongshou nodded: "It's absolutely true."

Chang Er was also dumbfounded and said: "Could it be that the imperial court is still above the transfer department?"

Qin Zhongshou said: "I got the information from Police Superintendent Cao. This matter has nothing to do with the imperial court, but the procuratorate."

Chang Er immediately asked: "Isn't the imperial court the leader?"

Qin Zhongshou said: "It's really not true. Anyway, Superintendent Cao said that the public security, the procuratorate, and the law do not belong to each other. If the procuratorate wants to prosecute, the imperial court can only judge based on the evidence. If the court does not act, the procuratorate can directly sue the imperial court."

"Sue the imperial court?"

Zhe Jizu was also stunned, "Is the imperial court going to judge himself?"

Qin Zhongshou shook his head and said: "If you want to sue the Imperial Court of Hezhong Mansion, you must either go to Dali Temple or the Criminal Court. The current situation is that the procuratorate has filed a lawsuit with the Imperial Court, but the Imperial Court has not yet decided whether to hold a trial .”

A few people looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the past, they believed that the public security, procuratorate, and law were one, and they were one big villain. If they were not one, they would be three big villains.

Just building a good relationship with the imperial court is not enough.

We have to establish a good relationship with the procuratorate.

This....

It's so difficult!

......

"This is really a wave of ups and downs!"

Guo Kui couldn't help sighing with emotion, and then looked at his friend Lu Gongru, seeing that he was stunned and silent, so he joked: "Why is Zhiqing silent, maybe he was frightened."

Lv Gongru was stunned, stroked his beard and said, "On the contrary."

"Oh?" Guo Kui asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

Lu Gongru laughed and said, "The reason why Brother Guo said that is because he thinks that the Public Procuratorate will come to Jingzhao Mansion in the future, which will make me very anxious."

Guo Kui nodded.

Lu Gongru said: "The interest entanglement of the Hezhong Mansion is really more complicated than that of my Jingzhao Mansion. If the Hezhong Mansion has to be controlled by the public prosecutor's law in the end, then why am I struggling?"

If the public prosecutor can't stop me, I won't go to Jingzhao Mansion. Therefore, for me, this lawsuit has everything to gain and no harm to me. "

Guo Kui smiled and said, "Don't you all want to go?"

"Aren't you too?"

"Haha...!"

.....

Forwarding Division.

Bang!

"It's unreasonable!"

Yuan Jiang slammed a teacup on the ground and scolded: "The old man has not settled the account with him about the salt money last time. How long has it passed? He came to find trouble again. Zhang San, you are really deceiving." Too much."

Cao Yi hurriedly said: "It seems that this is the idea of ​​the procuratorate, and the imperial court has not yet decided to accept it...!"

"That is to say, they bully us in turn, which is even more hateful." He Chunlin interrupted him.

When the officials of the other transshipment departments heard this, they also shouted.

"Why should our transshipment department obey their public prosecutor's law."

"Yes! Let them go to the trial, let's not go."

"That's right! Let's not go, let them entertain themselves."

......

Wei Yingfang suddenly realized, yes, we don't have to cooperate, so he asked Yuan Jiang: "Scholar Yuan, you know the public security law best, what will happen if we don't cooperate?"

Yuan Jiang sighed: "You have to know that this judicial reform was presided over by Bachelor Sima. He is thoughtful, how could he not have thought of this? The imperial court only looks at the evidence. The evidence is sufficient. No matter whether the witnesses are present or not, a judgment can be made.

This has also led to the fact that most of the defendants are willing to testify in court, otherwise, the only one who suffers will be themselves. "

He Chunlin excitedly said: "We can deny the verdict!"

Yuan Jiang sighed again: "It's okay to deny it, but you have to appeal to Dali Temple and the Criminal Court. You can't say that we are not under the jurisdiction of the court."

Cao Yidao: "Everyone listen to me first. I just said that this matter was provoked by the procuratorate. The imperial court has not yet decided. Why don't we use this to provoke the relationship between the procuratorate and the imperial court, and now take the initiative to discuss it with the imperial court. , to see if we can reconcile.

As a result, the procuratorate will definitely be very dissatisfied. "

Yuan Jiang couldn't help but glance at him, thinking, this guy really has some tricks!

He Chunlin hummed: "Wouldn't that promote the prestige of the imperial court, then I would rather reconcile with the procuratorate, and the imperial court is the culprit."

"Ahem!"

Yuan Jiang gave him a warning look, "You can scold Zhang San, but you can't scold the imperial court. Pay attention to your own strict words."

He Chunlin's body trembled, "Yes, yes, yes! The lower officials are all overwhelmed by the lake of qi."

When Cao Yi saw it, he knew that everyone hated the imperial court even more, so he had no choice but to give up.

Wei Yingfang said with a smile: "If the procuratorate prosecutes, we may not necessarily lose. Even if we lose, it may attract more people to sue, and then let them end in the imperial court."

"That's right! What are we worried about, let them sue. When the finances are ruined by them, and the court blames them, let the court ask the imperial court for money."

"That's right! We did this for the sake of finance after all. The imperial court even sent the procuratorate to sue us, which is really unreasonable. Who will dare to work for the imperial court in the future."

......

This Hezhong Mansion is the logistics of all armies in the northwest. There are a large number of troops stationed here. The soldiers are more concerned about this matter than the officials, because it is directly related to their vital interests.

At this time, the streets and alleys are all discussing this matter.

Under a tea shed on the side of the street.

"Then Chen Guang is ruthless enough to directly sue the transshipment department, does he not want to live?"

"If you don't get the money, he's dead!"

"This time is different from the past. With the imperial court here, if you dare to avenge your private revenge publicly, you can go to the imperial court to file a complaint."

"Hmph! You are too naive. If the government wants to punish you, why not give you a chance to sue?"

"Then we don't care. If the transshipment company really loses money, then let's sue together. We also took those moldy pickles and rags."

......

A young man at the next table heard everyone's discussion, and he was frowning and sighed, "Nowadays, everyone is talking about the imperial court and the procuratorate, as if our police station doesn't exist. It's really unreasonable."

It is Cao Dongdong.

Lost!

Pretty disappointed!

Since they came to Hezhong Mansion, their police station has no sense of existence.

In the capital city, before the tax department came out, the presence of the police station was far greater than that of the imperial court and the procuratorate.

Fu Shichun smiled and said: "Ya Nei, you are content, this is a great thing for our police station!"

Cao Dongdong looked at him with contempt: "You are a coward, you are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, we are vying to come here, don't we just want to do something? In the capital, our father is on top, affecting the performance of this yamen."

Ma Xiaoyi nodded straightly: "Yes, yes, I support brother."

"You are a coward!"

Fu Shichun glared at him, "In the public security system, the most troublesome thing is our police station. We specialize in managing people. Those officials and government officials, who wants to be under our control? We will issue them door numbers at that time. They all have to say a few words.

And you, Cao Dongdong, don't you have to worry about the relationship between Commander Qin and them.

It's all right now, the imperial court and the procuratorate are suing the Salt Division and the Transshipment Division, stealing the limelight, then we will do something, and everyone will not care, we will take the credit, and we will not If you offend people, you can kill two birds with one stone. The one who will be praised by the court at that time must be our police station. "

Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes and said, "That's right! Then they will rush to impeach the imperial court and the procuratorate. If no one impeaches us, then we will be the best."

Fu Shichun nodded and said: "That's the reason. Let's hold back for now and let them make trouble. When the time is right, we will take action again. Safekeeping will be smooth sailing."

"Justified!"

Cao Dongdong suddenly turned from worry to joy, "Let's wait and see, hehe..."

......

Compared to the previous two rounds, this time the imperial court can be regarded as light-packed.

"Teacher, how did the outside world know so quickly that this matter has nothing to do with our imperial court, it is their procuratorate who wants to sue the transshipment department?"

Cai Jing whispered.

Zhang Fei glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Then needless to say, it must be the news released by the procuratorate, telling everyone, don't just look at our imperial court, but also their procuratorate."

Cai Jing smiled awkwardly.

Su Zhe is not stupid either. It is impossible for me to bear the responsibility. The credit is yours. Since I am responsible, if it succeeds, the credit should also belong to the procuratorate.

These news were released by the procuratorate, creating a posture that the procuratorate will definitely seek justice for Chen Guang.

Try to keep the imperial court out.

"That's not the point."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "What we need to pay attention to now is whether the lawsuit brought by the procuratorate can meet the standard for the trial."

Cai Biandao: "Currently the procuratorate mainly accuses two points, one...!"

He picked up a roll of cloth on the table, "It's this cloth. Indeed, this cloth is worth less than silk thread, and it can't be exchanged for anything at all. However, according to the conversion system of my dynasty, it is not clearly stated that this It is illegal.

The second is the pension. The government did not give it to Chen Guang, nor did it say no to it. It just said that the current financial difficulties should give priority to the dead, which makes sense. "

Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "In other words, did not meet the prosecution standard?"

Shangguan Jun said: "That's not true, after all, there is no pension, and Chen Guang is facing bankruptcy, selling his wife and children, and at the same time, the government is unwilling to reconcile, so we have to complain, how can our imperial court ignore it. "

Cai Bian nodded and said, "I think so too, but I don't think the procuratorate can win."

Ye Zuqia said: "I think the procuratorate must have hidden evidence, otherwise, Chief Prosecutor Su would not be able to prosecute so decisively."

Cai Bian said: "I have thought about this too, but it is not easy to prove. The fact is that the Hezhong government's finances have always been insufficient. It is easy for the transshipment department to prove that they really have no money. The priority is not for the dead. Wrong, the key is that the accounts required by the procuratorate are also provided by them, and there may be no flaws. As for the cloth, it is even more difficult to prove whether it is reasonable."

Shangguan Jun asked: "Teacher, you are a big ear pen, you should be able to guess it?"

Cai Bian and the others also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "We don't have any evidence in our hands, why should we imagine it out of thin air!"

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, "But I would like to ask you a question, the cloth is not counted in advance, let's just talk about the pension, assuming that the finances are really difficult, how should the sentence be judged?"

Shangguan Jun said: "Chen Guang is so pitiful, and even if the government has no money, it is impossible that this money will not be available."

Ye Zuqia said: "You can't say that. The legal system is based on national interests. We must also consider that this may cause more people to file a lawsuit. At that time, we will not be right. "

Zhang Fei sighed.

Shangguan Jun asked: "Why is the teacher sighing?"

Zhang Fei said unhappily: "I taught you, and you all gave me back. Try to set up rules when paying back the money. You are all right, so what should I do?

We must first ensure the finances and at the same time ensure the safety of Chen Guang. It is not impossible to have the best of both worlds. The court owed money to Chen Guang, and Chen Guang owed money to the landlord, so he had to talk to them three ways to see how to pay back the money and minimize the losses of the three parties. "

The four of them started scratching their heads, and they really forgot about it all at once.

Zhang Fei shook his head mournfully, and said: "Okay, since the prosecution standard is met, then the trial will be held, and the relevant witnesses will be issued a subpoena first. I think most of them are officials, and the court will be held during a holiday."

Cai Jing said with a smile: "Teacher, I'm afraid that it will make them dissatisfied if we choose to hold the court during the holidays."

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "National interests come first. When it's time to work, let them do it."
