Chapter 515 Madman Zhang San
Look at the west building.
The two bartenders bent over and supported the door, panting slightly, listening to the voices of people inside.
One of the bartenders looked back and looked at the scene of all the seats, and couldn't help turning his head again, "What day is it today? Why are there so many guests all of a sudden?"
"Didn't you hear just now, they are all talking about the imperial court."
"What did the royal court do?"
"It seems to be about some big case."
While chatting, I saw a middle-aged man with a thick back and a simple dress, walking into the building in a busy manner.
A bartender immediately stepped forward, "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the restaurant is full today."
Before he finished speaking, someone slapped the back of his head heavily. The bartender turned his head abruptly, but when he saw that it was the shopkeeper, he immediately faltered and bowed his head to the side.
But the shopkeeper ignored the two bartenders, but cupped his hands at the middle-aged man and said, "Please, please, please, General Zhe, they are all on the second floor."
"Thank you!" The middle-aged man nodded and went straight up to the second floor.
After asking the middle-aged man to go up to the second floor, the shopkeeper returned to the door, pulled the two bartenders into the corner outside the door, and reprimanded him: "You are blind, you don't even know the bartender."
It turns out that the middle-aged man's name is Zhong Gu, the eldest son of the famous general Zhong Shiheng, and the elder brother of Zhong Er. He is currently in charge of Jingyuan Road and knows Yuanzhou.
The two bartenders were very wronged, they really didn't know each other!
The shopkeeper said again: "Remember, no matter who is here today, regardless of whether there is a seat inside, they must go inside first."
"Yes, the villain remembers."
As he spoke, the bartender asked cautiously, "Boss, what happened today?"
The shopkeeper said: "Didn't you hear that the case about General Xiaozhong will be heard in the imperial court of our Hezhong Mansion. These generals are all here for this case."
"I see. No wonder they are talking about lawsuits."
"I have to cheer me up these few days. All the guests here are distinguished guests."
"I know, I know."
Zhong Gu went up to the second floor, and immediately saw a person standing up and shouting: "Brother Zhong, this way."
Zhong Gu immediately walked over, cupped his hands at the head of the two people in front of the wine table and said: "Brother Zhe Shi, Brother Yao Xian."
The older one is called Zhe Jizu, he is the magistrate of the prefecture and the current head of the Zhe family army.
The younger one was Yao Xi, whose father Yao Bao died in the battle of Dingchuan during the reign of Renzong, and is currently serving as the governor of Huanqing Road.
There were several people standing behind the two of them, and they were also generals from the Northwest, including Qin Zhongshou.
After exchanging pleasantries, several people sat down, Zhong Gu raised his glass first and said, "Thank you for coming here to support my third brother in spite of your busy schedule."
Zhe Jizu waved his hand and said: "Don't be a big one, this case is not just a matter of Zhong Sanlang alone, it is also closely related to each of us. I heard that this is not a special case. From now on, most cases of our military generals will be the same. They will be handed over to the Public Prosecutor’s Office for trial.”
"I've heard that too."
Zhong Gu nodded, and said again: "But what's going on with this public prosecutor's law?"
Several people looked at Qin Zhongshou one after another.
Qin Zhongshou hurriedly told Zhong Gu what happened during this period.
Zhong Gu nodded slightly, "From this point of view, the trial by the imperial court is fair."
Zhe Jizu said: "If it is only about justice, regardless of success or failure, the case of Lingdi will not be good."
In any case, Zhong Er did not obey the order and sent troops without authorization, but he won.
Justice is not necessarily a good thing!
Lu Shen is also very upright as an official.
This kind of reasoning is frowning again.
Qin Zhongshou also nodded again and again, and said: "At present, it is not clear which side the imperial court is leaning towards. Although he is currently fighting with the civil servants, he has not considered the matter of compensating the salt merchants at all. When it comes to our military expenditure, in the end it was Yuan Xueshi who came up with a way to pay the salt debt, which prevented the military expenditure from being reduced.”
Yao Xi said: "I heard that the trial period has not been fixed yet, and it is also because the imperial court is dissatisfied with the government's failure to allocate funds to them."
Qin Zhongshou nodded and said, "Exactly."
After listening to Zhong Gu, he hurriedly asked, "What's going on here?"
Qin Zhongshou explained the matter again.
Hearing this kind of reasoning, his heart was suspended, "This is simply treating the emperor's order as a child's play, and these two things have nothing to do with each other."
Qin Zhongshou said: "I also specifically inquired about the friend of the president of the judge, that is, Cao Dongdong, the current Hezhong Prefecture Police Superintendent. According to Cao Dongdong, this three-hearted man is very small-minded, and he must retaliate. This is his usual style."
Hearing this, Zhong Gu couldn't help but sweat profusely on his face, and his heart felt cold.
royal court.
"Chairman Zhang, is it a little too much for you to do this?"
Su Zhe spoke to Zhang Fei in a state of desperation.
"Overfire?"
Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "How do you say that?"
Su Zhe said: "This matter is one thing. The government did not allocate funds to you. It is the government's fault. We can report this matter to the court, but you can't use this case to threaten the government! You are here to hear the matter under the emperor's order." case."
Xu Zhiqian on the side also looked at Zhang Fei very worriedly.
Zhang Fei immediately said: "The Chief Prosecutor must speak with evidence. When did I threaten the government? There is no money, and the witnesses are not present. What can I do?"
That's a good excuse.
Su Zhe couldn't help but said earnestly: "But if you continue to make trouble like this, there is no way out. At present, all the civil servants and generals of the Hezhong Mansion have come here, and they have already expressed their dissatisfaction. Some even came to my procuratorate, expressing that they want to sue your imperial court. .”
Zhang Fei said: "If you have evidence, you can sue, but you can't sue me. This is against the rules. You should first submit it to the procuratorate in the capital, and the procuratorate there will file a lawsuit against Dali Temple."
Su Zhe was immediately dumbfounded, and said in confusion, "But if you do this, it will also affect the authority of the imperial court."
"What authority?"
Zhang Fei said: "The president of the court has been here for so long, and the two parties are late. Now that they are here, I want to start the trial immediately. My imperial court doesn't want to lose face."
Seeing that Zhang Fei didn't eat oil and salt, Su Zhe also had a severe headache, so he couldn't help but look at Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian whispered: "Mr. Zhang!"
"To shut up!"
Zhang Fei reprimanded her immediately, and then said to Su Zhe: "Mr. Su Xiao, there are no outsiders here, so I will tell you clearly, even if the official comes, if I don't allocate money, I will not try it, and the procuratorate will not try it." You can sue us, this is your duty, if it were me, I might also choose to sue, this is really suspected of dereliction of duty."
"I understand."
Su Zhe nodded and stood up, "Su is leaving."
It's useless if the officials come, so there's nothing to persuade them.
Zhang Fei said: "I will send Mr. Su Xiao."
"No need!"
Su Zhe bowed his hands and went out.
Zhang Fei still sent him to the door, but when he turned around, he saw Xu Zhiqian's cold gaze, and immediately said: "In this room, you are the master, and I am the chief judge, can't I reprimand you? It's very unprofessional for you to look at your boss like that."
Xu Zhiqian's expression changed slightly, and she said wronged again: "But you have to be reasonable, after all, Mr. Su is thinking of you, if you go on like this, you will offend both civil and military. Here we come, if we offend them, we will be unable to move an inch here!"
Originally, she didn't object to Zhang Fei doing this, but she was just worried, but the situation is completely different now. Civil officials from all walks of life in the Hezhong Mansion and people from the major families in the Northwest have all come. These people are very important in the Song Dynasty. Seeing this thing getting bigger and bigger, it is really very scary.
Not to mention his father, Wang Anshi didn't dare to play like this!
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I am the president of the judge, and I pay attention to convincing people with the law. Now I try to please them in every possible way. Once the judgment is unfair, it is meaningless at this time, but if I judge well, I will now Just leave them alone, and then everything will be nice and respectful to me."
Xu Zhiqian said: "How can you speak so lightly, don't forget, you have many enemies, and those officials will definitely impeach you."
Zhang Fei hehe said: "Impeach me for what? Paid money to work overtime? If those officials are like me, I, Da Song, don't need reform at all."
Fuya!
"What did you say?"
Wei Yingfang looked at Zhuo Qun in shock, "The procuratorate plans to sue the imperial court in the capital?"
Zhuo Qun nodded and said: "Yes, it seems that Su Ziyou also went to the imperial court to persuade Zhang San, but Zhang San is still unwilling to start a trial, and the procuratorate can only prosecute."
"madman!"
Wei Yingfang immediately cursed: "This is a lunatic!"
For this little money, what are you doing?
This is simply to burn jade and stone together!
Cai Yanqing glanced at him, "You're not bad either!"
"I!"
Wei Yingfang glanced at Cai Yanqing anxiously.
Cai Yanqing didn't even bother to open his mouth, you continue to waste it, and then we'll die together.
After Yuan Jiang got away, he didn't want to continue to make trouble, but Wei Yingfang and the others strongly demanded that they must fight back, otherwise, the government would lose face too much.
Xue Zhi, magistrate of Hedong County, said: "If this goes on like this, it won't work. People outside have said that our government has seized the funds of the imperial court in order to interfere with the imperial court's trial."
Because this matter doesn't seem very political, why would Zhang Fei disregard the emperor's order for this little money, but any normal person would not do such a thing, there may be tricks in it.
Ever since, some people speculated that the government withholding funds may be trying to threaten the imperial court and influence the imperial court's judgment, but Zhang Fei is upright and resolutely refuses to follow, so he does not want to hold a trial.
This conspiracy theory immediately won the support of the people, because in the eyes of the people, the imperial court is very fair.
"Bullshit."
Wei Yingfang excitedly said: "It is that kid who is unkind first, and we are unrighteous."
Xue Zhidao: "But if the trouble goes to the capital, we can hardly absolve ourselves of the blame."
He Chunlin and Liu Daxing, who hated Zhang Fei the most, couldn't help nodding their heads. Now they are all terrified.
They all felt that they were already standing on the edge of the cliff, or it was because the civil servants and generals of the Hezhong Mansion seemed to have all come, and they all knew about it. If they made trouble together, the court would definitely pay attention to it.
But there is no oil and salt in the imperial court.
If they really go to the capital, no matter what Zhang Fei's crime is, they will not pay the funds.
This is something they never imagined, no matter how upright an official is, he would not be so ruthless. For this little money, he would even give up his life.
This can only be described as "crazy".
Wei Yingfang was so depressed that he stomped his feet fiercely, "All right, all right, I'll call them, can't I call them?"
After speaking, he left angrily.
Anger is all about anger, but more of it is fear. This matter seems to be going nowhere, and he is the culprit, and he ordered everything.
So he quickly called Cai Jing over.
When seeing Cai Jing, Wei Yingfang pretended to be calm, took a cup, blew on it, and asked casually, "How much money do you need to try this case?"
After all, take a sip of the tea.
"Ten thousand guan." Cai Jing wrote lightly.
"puff!"
Wei Yingfang couldn't calm down anymore, he wiped his mouth and looked at Cai Jing in surprise, "How much?"
Cai Jing also replied casually: "Ten thousand guan."
He has been dealing with this matter all the time, and he has a very clear judgment on the current situation. He knows that he is the one with the upper hand, and if you have the ability, you will not give it to him!
Let's spend it.
See who dies first.
Wei Yingfang was furious: "Is your imperial court insulting us? It costs [-] yuan to hear a case. You are extorting money. I want to impeach you to the imperial court."
Cai Jing replied unhurriedly: "If we go back to Wei Tong's judgment, this is the rule of our imperial court. Because the case is complicated, it has been separated by several years, and there are many witnesses involved, it requires a lot of funds.
Not enough, our chief judge didn't want to bother the government, so he planned to build some shops to supplement these funds, but unfortunately the shop construction plan has not been approved by the government so far. "
Wei Yingfang understood immediately, and thought to himself, so you want to build a shop, but I am not as good as you want.Said: "I will give you ten thousand guan, but I will tell the court."
Cai Jing cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Wei Tongpan. In addition, there is also our salary, as well as the previous reconstruction costs, for [-] guan."
Wei Yingfang was dumbfounded again, and asked, "Doesn't this ten thousand yuan include salary?"
Cai Jingdao: "Just now, Wei Tong's judgment was only for the trial fee of this case."
Okay!Okay!It's unreasonable for me to teach you a lesson after this case is over.Wei Yingfang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I will order someone to allocate a piece to you when the time comes."
"Thank you, Wei Tongjue."
Cai Jing bowed his hands again, "If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
Wei Yingfang nodded, but when he saw that Cai Jing was really going to leave, he was really unsure whether they wanted money or a store, so he quickly stopped him, "Wait a minute, you come back first."
Cai Jing turned around again and asked, "Is there anything else Wei Tong ordered?"
"Don't dare!"
Wei Yingfang snorted, and said again: "In this way, the government will not be able to come up with so much money for a while, and I don't know how much money you need for the trial. In order not to delay the trial of the case, the government will allow the construction of shops there. , I will have someone allocate the funds for the first two months to you."
Cai Jing said with a blank expression, "Thank you, Wei Tongjuan."
