Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 205

Under Xu Zhiqian's strong dissuasion, Uncle Huang hired Li Guozhong to file a lawsuit with the Department of Records after his threats failed.

This case is not a criminal case, and it is generally not to go to the left and right patrol courts to fight, but the problems and property involved are not small, and the left and right officials are not high enough.

The Department of Records is specialized in hearing such civil disputes.

At the same time, Xu Zhiqian also immediately handed in the statement of defense. Everyone knew that it was Xu Zhiqian, not Zhang Fei, who made the move this time.

This immediately caused quite a heated discussion.

This woman can also sue?
Even the chief of the Silu Division, Liang Dong, who joined the army, was a little confused, so he immediately responded to the above.

Can this work?

Kaifeng House.

"This one is not too much trouble, and it's really unreasonable for the husband and wife to fight together."

When Li Kai heard this, he became irritable.

Lu Gong asked calmly, "Then what do you think?"

Li Kai immediately said: "Of course not, how decent it is for this woman to go to court to file a lawsuit."

For Zhang Fei, he had to take a rest in a lawsuit. The husband and wife took turns to fight, it was really scary to think about it!

Lu Gong said: "But Xu Zhiqian has gone to court with Zhang San several times before."

Li Kai said unhappily: "Sima Junshi and Wang Jiefu made a good start, but Xu Zhiqian was only helping Zhang Fei and didn't even say a word. This cannot be confused."

Lu Gong pondered for a while, and said: "If we don't allow it, what if Zhang San uses this as an excuse to sue us in Kaifeng Mansion?"

Li Kai's expression froze, and he said: "Prefect Lu probably won't let this happen, right?"

Lu Gong said with a wry smile: "He will definitely not sue our Kaifeng mansion against our Kaifeng mansion, how can I control this."

Li Kai asked: "Then why did he sue?"

Lu Gong said: "How do I know this, but there is no law that forbids women to go to court to argue, but women can go to court to testify."

Li Kai weighed it again and again, and sighed: "Forget it, forget it, let them do it, it's better to have one less thing than one more thing."

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered!

Department of Records.

"Li Yushi?"

"Brother Liang, please stay safe."

"Be polite! Be polite!"

Liang Dong couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Yushi Li Zhan's sudden visit. After bowing his hands and returning a salute, he asked again: "I don't know if Li Yushi came to visit, what advice do you have?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Li Zhan said hastily: "I just passed by just now, and I stopped by to see Brother Liang. Seriously, everyone is talking about your recording department now."

Liang Dong sighed: "Isn't it because of Zhang San and Xu Zhiqian, but I really don't worry about it, I don't want to be in the limelight."

Li Zhan asked: "Can this woman go to court to fight for someone?"

Liang Dong shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the higher-ups allowed it."

Li Zhan snorted and said: "This Zhang San is really bullying too much. We officials have already shunned him, but he still wants to push his wife out. Why, is he trying to bully us in turn? If we don't want to stop it, use Before long, he'll have to pee on top of us."

Liang Dong also understood the purpose of his trip, and said awkwardly: "Li Yushi, you have seen what happened to Wang Hong, and I dare not mess around."

Li Zhan said: "I have learned about this case. It is difficult for an upright official to resolve family affairs. Liang Silu only needs to try it impartially."

Liang Dong pondered for a while, but said with some reservations: "We'll see how they perform then."

Li Zhan didn't say anything more.

He just hoped that Liang Dong would be a little bit off.

Because he knew that in this lawsuit, as long as the presiding judge was a little bit biased, it would be very beneficial to Uncle Huang.

Now Zhang Fei is already a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and they are trying their best to create difficulties for Zhang Fei.

Xu Zhiqian naturally doesn't know how to play these outside tricks, she is still working hard to prepare.

In the evening, after the afterglow fell on the small courtyard of the Zhang family, a rough courtroom was built in the courtyard, but the presiding judge sitting on the main seat was a veritable judge of Dali Temple—Xu Zhongtu.

On the left and right are his daughter and son-in-law.

This is definitely the most difficult lawsuit he has ever tried in his life. Sitting there, he was constantly wiping his sweat.

It is simply torment!
"I'm done asking."

Xu Zhiqian sat down and glanced provocatively at Zhang Fei opposite.

"Uncle Huang."

Zhang Fei stood up.

Feng Nanxi, who was sitting on the witness chair, looked at Zhang Fei tremblingly, "Here!"

Zhang Fei asked, "I heard that you have two sons."

Feng Nanxi glanced at the script, then nodded.

Zhang Fei asked again: "How old are they?"

Feng Nanxi read according to the script: "The youngest is seven years old, and the oldest is 11 years old."

Zhang Fei continued to ask: "How is their relationship with grandma?"

Feng Nanxi said: "The feeling. The feeling is very. Very good. He... They all cried very sadly after learning that grandma passed away. Now they are still kneeling in the mourning hall, accompanying grandma. "

Niu Beiqing, who was on the sidelines, laughed and said, "Old Qi, you are stammering, I can see that you are lying."

Feng Nanxi glared at him: "Go away, you didn't stutter just now, but nine out of ten sentences are wrong."

Li Si and Xiao Tao, who also acted as extras, laughed happily.

Gao Wenyin and Qingmei stood aside, also fascinated by watching.

It turns out that litigation is so interesting.

Xu Zun patted the "gavel" and said, "Quiet."

Zhang Fei was not affected, and said to Xu Zun: "Presiding officer, according to my investigation, Granny Huang loves her grandson very much. Even though Granny Huang and her son have some misunderstandings, she will not forget her two grandsons." Grandson, if Granny Huang is awake, she will definitely not easily transfer the ownership of the house to Aunt Liu, this is unnatural."

Xu Zun nodded slightly, then looked at Xu Zhiqian again.

Xu Zhiqian flipped through the copywriting on the table, a little dumbfounded: "Why did it involve grandson again?"

Xu Zun was in a hurry, and said sadly: "You still said that you are ready. This ancestral house does not necessarily have to be passed on to your son, but it can also be passed on to your grandson directly. In terms of inheritance rights, the two actually have considerable status. If the presiding judge notices that this Granny Huang has two grandchildren, then it is very likely that the house will not be awarded to Aunt Liu."

Xu Zhiqian glanced at Xu Zun anxiously, and muttered, "Is Li Guozhong so powerful? Will he consider these details?"

Xu Zun became even more angry when he heard this, and reprimanded loudly, "You can't expect others not to think about it. You have to be fully prepared. Besides, many pens in the capital have good debate skills. It’s just that compared to Zhang San, he pays too much attention to ingenuity rather than empirical evidence.”

Xu Zhiqian's face was flushed by the training, she looked at Zhang Fei again, and asked for advice: "Zhang San, how to solve this point? Granny Huang's two grandsons are still so young, and they don't know what filial piety is."

Gao Wenyin and the others also looked at Zhang Fei, obviously they have already entered the drama.

Zhang Fei patiently explained: "First of all, you have to think about the consequences of this point. Just like what my father-in-law said, the other party raised this point not to use the two grandsons to prove that Uncle Huang is a dutiful son, but to let the presiding judge Considering that even though Second Uncle Huang is not a dutiful son, there are still two ignorant little grandsons who are innocent, and every grandma would hope that her grandson will live a good life, which may change the opinion of the chief judge.

After knowing their purpose, we can prescribe the right medicine. First of all, we need to prove that Uncle Huang's family is very good. With or without this sum of money, his two sons can live comfortably.

Secondly, it proves how much Aunt Liu has paid to take care of Granny Huang, and how hard her life is.

This contrast can reverse the mind of the presiding judge.You must remember that the focus of this lawsuit is family affection, and the legal basis is only secondary. Therefore, usually in this kind of lawsuit, the attitude of the presiding judge becomes very critical. He can decide whatever he wants, so your question must be Move the presiding officer and all the people present, so that the presiding judge will favor you. "

Xu Zunzhi nodded: "What Zhang San said is very good. Feelings are the key to this case. Usually, when officials try such cases, most of them follow two principles. When the situation is equal to the law, the law will be enforced according to the situation; When the law is in place, bend the law and follow the situation.

If this lawsuit follows the law of relatives and neighbors, it will probably be awarded to Uncle Huang. Therefore, your plea must make the presiding judge think that the case is a matter of merit, and the presiding judge will not follow the law of relatives and neighbors, but according to the law of relatives and neighbors. Judging by the actual situation, this will be in favor of Aunt Liu. "

Xu Zhiqian nodded and said timidly, "Daughter remembers."

Seeing her being trained like walking on thin ice and not daring to breathe, Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing, teasingly said: "Go back and change your question, first write yourself crying and then bring it up. You haven't even started to play, you can't hold it anymore."

Xu Zhiqian said: "I saw you went to court, but you didn't say you made yourself cry."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes: "I rely on acting skills. Even if I help Second Uncle Huang to sue, I can still speak touchingly. Don't shame your acting skills. Showing your true feelings is your advantage."

Xu Zhiqian said contemptuously: "So you were pretending before?"

Zhang Fei hummed: "This is not called pretending, this is called professionalism."

"Don't be complacent." Xu Zhiqian twitched the corner of her mouth, "I'll change it later, you won't be so relaxed next time."

I took the copy and went back to the room to revise.

"call."

Xu Zun breathed a sigh of relief, drank a sip of tea quickly, and said to Zhang Fei who came over: "It's really strange to say that when she was in class with you, I didn't feel nervous at all, but when she was practicing just now, she As long as I hesitate for a moment, my heart will jump out, it's really terrible."

Seeing that Xu Zun was sweating profusely, Zhang Fei couldn't help laughing to himself, but said: "This is because my father-in-law cares too much about Zhiqian."

Xu Zun asked, "Why don't you seem nervous at all?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback, and quickly explained: "Of course I also care, but I have experienced it before, and Zhiqian's performance is better than mine before."

Xu Zun didn't seem to believe it, "Really?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Actually, the most difficult thing is to be afraid of the court, and Zhiqian has even been to the political affairs hall before, she is not afraid of the court, so if you do your homework, there will be no major problems. Unless the chief judge The official is my father-in-law, otherwise, I still have confidence in Zhiqian."

Xu Zun hummed: "If the old man is the presiding judge, then you may have to worry about the old man."

Zhang Fei laughed happily.

Xu Zun shook his head with a smile, suddenly remembered something, and said: "That's right! There is something I forgot to tell you, and many officials in the court recommended you to be an official in the court."

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "This is almost a cliché."

There were a group of ministers in the court who thought very thoroughly, and when they competed with Zhang Fei, he was only a piece of broken tile. If he won, he would get nothing, but if he lost, he would be miserable. Wang Hong once again proved this point. The best way is to Still Zhao'an.

Every time Zhang Fei made a fuss, someone in the court would play and recommend Zhang Fei to Shenzong. How could such a talent be allowed to be a pen in the folk? He had to be recruited into the court. It happened that the court wanted judicial reform and was in short supply. Talents.

Xu Zun asked, "Then what are your plans?"

Zhang Fei pondered for a while, and said, "I still don't have this idea for the time being."

Xu Zun asked, "Why?"

Zhang Fei didn't answer and asked instead: "What kind of official position does my father-in-law think they will give me?"

Xu Zun hummed and nodded: "Actually, I also think that if you become an official, what you can do is far worse than what you can do now."
