Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 230
There have been several scenes of people waiting in front of Zhang's house.

Zhang Fei is already used to it.

But the previous few times were really full of positive energy. Everyone cheered for Zhang Fei together, and the scene made tears flow.

This time everyone was even more enthusiastic, following Zhang Fei and shouting all the way.

Just hope he can lose the lawsuit.

What about the sense of justice?
It can only be said that gambling ruins everything.

Money can distort all values.

And on the way Zhang Fei rushed to Kaifeng Mansion, Li Guozhong and others were already waiting in Kaifeng Mansion, they were so obedient!

"Li Tongjue!"

"The villain has seen Li Tongjue."

Seeing Li Kailai, Li Guozhong and others stood up one after another and bowed in salute.

Respectfully.

At this moment, Li Kai suddenly felt that he actually didn't hate these Er pens, he just hated Zhang Fei.

Look at these pens, how cute, how well-behaved, and inviting to touch.

The same Erbi, why the gap is so big.

Li Kai couldn't help sighing secretly, and said to Li Guozhong with a smile on his face: "Li Xingshou."

"The little guy is here."

Li Guozhong bowed his hand again.

Li Kaidao: "Prefect Lu thinks that the new interrogation method is more fair. I wonder if you can adapt to it."

In the past, there was no such thing as a confrontation. This was brought by Zhang Fei, but it has not been determined. What kind of interrogation method should be used and what kind of rules should be followed.

Before, all parties discussed it first, but it was an unwritten rule.

Li Guozhong and the others looked at each other.

For them, of course it is more appropriate to be old, so Zhou Cai, who was standing next to him as a defendant, suddenly stood up and said, "Li Tongjue, this is not fair to us! After all, Zhang San used this method. Played several times."

Li Kai waved.

Li Guozhong and Zhou Cai immediately went to the corner with him.

Li Kai whispered: "In fact, this interrogation method is more beneficial to you."

Zhou Cai asked, "How do you say that?"

Li Kaidao: "Did you guys forget that the new interrogation method was changed just to deal with Zhang San? If you use the old method, Zhang San can talk wildly, and that kid dares to say anything, I'm afraid They didn’t even dare to speak.”

That method was brought by Zhang Fei, not Zhang Fei's design. In Lin Fei's lawsuit, Huang Gui came out to help fight the lawsuit. Later, Fan Chunren appeared and asked Wang Anshi to take the witness stand.

This is all to deal with Zhang Fei, not to help Zhang Fei.

Li Guozhong nodded slightly: "Li Tong's verdict is reasonable. In fact, we have studied that new interrogation method for several days. We are fully prepared and are not afraid of him."

"That's good."

Li Kai nodded: "This case may take many days to be tried, and you have time to get familiar with it. Don't be too nervous. If there is any problem, I will give you winks."

"Oh! Thank you so much Li Tongpan."

"Winning that kid is the best thanks to me."

Li opened the door and arranged for these pens, witnesses, and guests who came to watch the trial.

And Huang Gui is in charge, responsible for preparing the copywriting that will be used later.

For this lawsuit, the Kaifeng government had to prepare a lot of documents. After all, it was related to the taxation of [-] people, and the third division had transported two large truckloads of documents.

Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County also sent two or three cars of copywriters.

Huang Gui flipped through the crumpled account book that had just been dried, and took another sneak peek at Lu Gong's book, "Prefect, don't you want to take a look?"

Lu Gong put down the teacup, "No need, just prepare what you will use later, and show it to me when they mention it later."

"Yes."

Huang Gui nodded.

Gouyuan's account books were delivered yesterday, but Mr. Lu didn't read them for fear of dirtying his eyes.

And when they were preparing, the front door was already overcrowded, so the officials who came to watch the trial could only go to the side door.

"What do you think of Fan Sijian?"

Qian Wei asked Fan Chunren beside him.

Fan Chunren shook his head: "It's hard to say, the most important thing in this lawsuit is the evidence, and at present they are all hiding it, and have not completely handed it over to the Kaifeng government. Whoever wins depends on what evidence they can produce in court Come."

Qian Wei nodded and sighed: "A few days ago, the water leak in Gouyuan was definitely not an accident. I'm afraid this time Zhang San is in danger!"

Fan Chunren said: "I heard that Qian Yushi is still suing the officials on this matter?"

Qian Wei nodded: "But there is no evidence, so I dare not talk nonsense. I just suggested that the government send people to protect the evidence. It seems that the government also sent people to investigate, but nothing was found."

Suddenly, someone reached out and shouted, "Fan Sijian."

Fan Chunren looked back, "Su Zizhan."

It was the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe who came.

Su Shi came forward, first bowed his hands to the two, and then asked with a smile, "Why didn't they ask Fan Sijian to come out this time?"

Su Zhe at the side was about to go crazy.

Are we really brothers?
Fan Chunren's expression changed slightly, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Maybe they have seen me lose to Zhang San several times in a row, so they don't have confidence in me."

He didn't want to defend those landlords, but when Su Shi asked this question and he answered it like this, it seemed that he was making excuses, so he simply said it.

Su Shi laughed and said, "Fan Sijian's words are wrong."

Su Zhe quietly pulled down Su Shi's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, please don't say a few words."

Su Shiquan pretended not to hear.

Fan Chunren asked, "I don't know what insight Zizhan has?"

Su Shi said: "Actually, Fan Sijian did not fail to win opportunities a few times before. It's just that Fan Sijian paid too much attention to morality and gave up many opportunities on his own initiative."

Qian Wei frowned and said, "Why not pay attention to morality?"

Su Shi said with a smile: "A lawsuit is the same as a war. The key point is to defeat the opponent. As long as the means do not violate the rules, there is no need to talk about any morality. After all, the final judgment is not Er Bi, but the presiding judge above."

Fan Chunren pondered for a while, nodded and said, "You are not unreasonable." After a pause, he said again: "I heard that you want to enter the procuratorate."

Su Shi smiled and nodded: "That's what I mean."

Fan Chunren said hehe: "I hope to see Zizhan's demeanor in court then."

Su Shi cupped his hands and said: "Cheng Si remonstrated auspiciously, I hope I have this opportunity, I would have already tried a few tricks with Zhang San."

Fan Chunren said with a smile: "If Zhang San can still win this lawsuit, I think he should have a chance."

Su Shi smiled slightly and said: "This lawsuit, Zhang San will definitely win. I have already bet [-] pennies, but it is a pity that the compensation is a bit small."

Su Zhe suddenly said, "Second Brother, where did you get the money?"

"Me." Su Shi was stunned immediately.

Su Zhe looked at Su Shi, "Second brother didn't take it from under the bed, did he?"

Su Shi hurriedly said: "Ouch! Third brother, why did you tell us where we hid the money?"

Fan Chunren and Qian Wei looked at each other, they couldn't laugh or cry, said "Farewell", and went in first.

Su Shi wanted to follow suit, but Su Zhe grabbed him, "Second Brother, that's our rent money for next month, how can you gamble with it?"

Su Shi said: "Don't worry, third brother, brother will definitely win."

Su Zhe immediately said: "Nine times out of ten bets, there is no reason to win."

Su Shi also knew the character of this brother, "Oh! At worst, my brother will go to the brothel and sell a few poems in exchange for some money. Our brothers have studied books for these years, and we still starve to death."

Su Zhe had a severe headache, "Next time, I will hide the money at the home of Sima University."

"what?"

Not long after the brothers entered, they saw two old men walking slowly in the green shade.

It was Wang Anshi and Sima Guang who were enemies.

This time they did not meet at the door, but had an encounter at the intersection ahead.

Apart from running on each other, it seems that the two have nothing in common. After all, their common hobbies are so boring.

"Junshi, have you been reflecting at home recently?"

"Reflect?"

Sima Guang looked at Wang Anshi wonderingly, "What should I reflect on?"

Wang Anshi said: "This is the result of hiding wealth among the people."

Sima Guang snorted: "Have you ever checked yourself at home? If you file a lawsuit, the roof of Gouyuan will leak. If you change the law, the Yellow River will not be flooded!"

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, I have really reflected on it."

"Is that so?" Sima Guang asked, "You should come and listen."

Wang Anshi said: "I just want to use this lawsuit to see what methods they have. When I reform, I will know how to deal with them."

Sima Guang heheed twice: "What you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg!"

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers coming from the front door.

Sima Guang said: "That boy Zhang San must be here."

Wang Anshi hehe said: "Have you heard that, those who have attained the Tao will help."

Fortunately, he couldn't hear clearly, otherwise, Wang Anshi would be severely slapped in the face by Sima Guang.

It was indeed Zhang Fei who came, but the cheers made people dumbfounded.

Seeing Zhang Fei get out of the carriage, he raised his hand, "Stop yelling, stop yelling, I'll try my best to lose."

"Thank you very much!"

"Sanlang, can you lose faster, it's best to lose in the morning, I'm still waiting for the bet to be revealed at noon today!"

"Damn! How about showing some face, it's really unreasonable."

After scolding, Zhang Fei jumped out of the carriage helplessly, and gently helped Xu Zhiqian get off the carriage.

Xu Zhiqian tightly pursed her lips, holding back a smile.

Zhang Fei warned in a low voice: "Hold it, you smile, they may misunderstand that we are confident, how many people will jump off the building, no, jump into the river."

Xu Zhiqian gave him a gouged look, but she really suppressed her smile abruptly, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.

When I came to the gate of the mansion, I saw Li Kai standing in front of the gate.

Zhang Fei hurried forward, cupped his hands and saluted, "Oh! How can you be so kind, you dare to trouble Li Tongpan to go out to greet you in person."

Li Kai hehe said: "Your Zhang Daerbi is so majestic, if I don't go out to greet you, I'm afraid I will be scolded by the people! Please, Daerbi. Lawyer Xu."

It’s fine if your name is Da Erbi, and I also add that Lawyer Xu, you must be deliberately disturbing my mentality.

Zhang Fei felt depressed for a while, but there was nothing he could do about it. Now Er Bi has almost become his special term.

When I came to the courtyard, I saw two very simple wooden sheds in the courtyard, just a roof and four pillars, but connecting the corridors on the left and right sides, and there were two rows of long tables under the sheds.

If so, Zhang Fei couldn't help but wowed, "Li Tongpan, the provincial government really took care of us this time, and even got two such luxurious sheds, Xiaomin is really grateful."

When Xu Zhiqian heard the word "luxury", she couldn't help it anymore, and burst out laughing.

Li Kai didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong, "Don't thank me in a hurry, this money is all paid by you."

"We're out?" Zhang Fei blinked.

Li Kai nodded and said: "You each pay five hundred guan, a total of one thousand guan."

"that.."

Zhang Fei coughed twice: "I said luxury just now, it's just polite words!"

Li Kaidao: "The shed is a trivial matter. The key is that every time you come back, you will add a lot of trouble to our Kaifeng Mansion. Look, how many chairs are placed on the corridor, and how much tea is prepared. This manpower and material resources, don't you need money?
The key point is that the litigation fee for this time has reached [-] guan, so if you ask for [-] guan, it is really cheap for you. "

I was relying on my ability, you are purely using the public for personal gain!Zhang Fei said embarrassingly: "Money is a trivial matter, but if this precedent is set, I am afraid that someone will deliberately raise the legal fee and exploit the people."

Li Kai immediately said: "Don't worry, this is only for you, Zhang San, and the rest will not change."

Zhang Fei complained: "It's not bullying."

"It's bullying you." Li Kai said: "You don't come here!"

Zhang Fei said: "If you don't come, how can you earn the [-] guan?"

"Stop talking nonsense, go there and stay."

Li Kai pointed to the shed on the left.

Zhang Fei pursed his lips and shook his head, "Zhiqian, let's go."

Coming to the shed, Zhang Fei looked at Qiu Zhengwen who was holding a rag, "Zhengwen, what are you doing?"

Qiu Zhengwen said: "I saw that the table was dirty, so I wiped it."

"what?"

Zhang Fei said depressedly: "The treatment of five hundred guan is really the worst than the government. It is illegal for others to rob money, and it is illegal for the government to rob money. We have to bring our own donkey cart to facilitate their transportation of dirt. It is really deceiving."

Xu Zhiqian said in a low voice: "Just say a few words, there are all officials here."

Zhang Fei glanced sideways: "What are you afraid of, my father-in-law is too."
