Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 263
The emperor Jinkou saw it, and the lawsuit immediately entered the trial process.

However, opposition from inside and outside the ruling and opposition parties has also been louder and louder.

They hoped that the emperor would take back his order.

Now in the courtroom, facing Zhang Fei, no matter whether it is an official or a scholar, they have completely lost confidence.

When I heard that a lawsuit was really going to happen, my first reaction was that it was over.

Completely disregarding Fan Chunren's feelings.

But it is a pity that even the defendant headed by Su Shi is willing to go to court to argue with Zhang Fei.

This one is willing to fight and suffer.

Everyone has no choice.

I can only ask Buddha to bless me.

Xiangguo Temple.

I saw a row of pious scholars kneeling in front of the statue of Buddha in the main hall.

"Buddha, that Zhang San is a monster, I beg Buddha to accept that monster!"

"I beseech Buddha to bless and protect Fan Sijian and they must win this time! Evil cannot prevail against good, and evil cannot prevail against good."

Cloud Taoist Temple.

I saw a Taoist priest holding a wooden sword in his right hand and a talisman in his left hand, stepping on a magic circle, and chanting: "Heaven and Earth Xuanzong, order the monster to destroy its form. Urgently like a law."

A circle of scholars stood aside with clenched fists and tears in their eyes.

Thunder from the sky, strike that evildoer!
Zhang family.

"Sanlang, just now someone rode a horse and threw a letter in front of the door, and then ran away. I didn't catch up."

Angrily, Niu Beiqing came to the hall holding a letter, and said to Zhang Fei: "Why don't we set up a rope in front of the door, so that none of them can escape."

"no need."

Zhang Fei smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand again, "Give me the letter."

Niu Beiqing handed the letter to Zhang Fei, and said embarrassingly: "Sanlang, they didn't come when I was watching carefully. I just deserted for a while, and they came. I guess they have been sending People are watching us."

"okay."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's not your fault. Your responsibility is to ensure that they don't throw in the torches. Just let them throw letters."

Niu Beiqing patted his chest and said, "I promise, this is the last letter, and I will never let them succeed."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

After Niu Beiqing withdrew, Zhang Fei opened the letter, and Xu Zhiqian, who was beside her, turned her head and asked, "What is written on it?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "What else can it be, isn't it just calling me despicable and shameless?"

Xu Zhiqian sighed quietly: "It's already the fourth letter before the morning has passed. It seems that we really caused public anger this time."

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "But it also shows that they don't have much confidence, and they can only use this kind of outside trick to disturb our minds. This is a recognition of my strength."

"Woooooo!"

Suddenly hearing a burst of crying, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian turned their heads to look, and saw Xiao Tao came in crying, holding a vegetable basket in one hand and wiping tears with the other.

"Xiao Tao, what's wrong?"

Gao Wenyin walked out quickly.

Xiaotao sobbed, "Ma'am, I didn't betray Third Brother."

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian also walked out of the hall.

"Xiao Tao, what's the matter?"

"Third brother, just now when I was selling vegetables, some people suddenly surrounded me and gave me a piece of silver, asking me to steal the copywriting prepared by third brother. I was very scared at the time, so I agreed to them, but I... I won't do that."

"It really makes no sense."

Xu Zhiqian was furious and said, "They actually did such indecent things."

Gao Wenyin also said anxiously: "Sanlang, what should we do now?"

Zhang Fei smiled wryly and said, "What else can I do, please stay away for now."

This time Zhang Fei is really on the opposite side of all the scholars. Regardless of the reputation of Song Minqiu and Su Shi, if he wants to win, maybe everyone will not be able to discuss current affairs happily as before.

This concerns the rights and interests of every reader.

But no one believed that Fan Chunren and the others could win.

They could only do everything possible to harass Zhang Fei.

During the day, he threw letters and scolded Zhang Fei, and at night, he secretly went to the vicinity of Zhang's house to beat gongs and drums.

This really made Zhang Fei complain.

I can only catch up on sleep at noon.

at last!

Finally, the trial day came.

As usual, the front of Zhang's house was crowded with people.

They are not here to cheer, but to curse.

But after waiting for a long time, the door was still not open, which made the scholars who were full of emotions really panic.

Kaifeng House.

In Zhao Yan's lounge, there were bursts of shouts.

I saw Zhang Fei lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. It turned out that Wang Anshi had received the news that thousands of scholars would block Zhang Fei at the door today. He was also worried that the situation would get out of control. Come to Kaifeng to rest.

There was a creak, and the door opened.

Zhang Fei opened his eyes slightly, and saw a graceful figure came into view, "Ma'am."

It was Gao Wenyin who came, Zhang Fei really couldn't do without Gao Wenyin in terms of life.

Gao Wenyin came to the window and said softly, "Sanlang, it's time to get up."

"Ah."

Zhang Fei sat up and rubbed his eyes, "It seems like I haven't slept so peacefully for a long time."

After Gao Wenyin saw it, she couldn't help sighing: "Sanlang, why are you bothering?"

Zhang Fei glanced at her and said with a smile, "Life is all about suffering first and then sweetness."

Under Gao Wenyin's service, Zhang Fei changed into the battle robe embroidered with eagles after washing, and went out.

And Wang Anshi had already been sitting in the side room waiting for him.

"In good spirits."

When Wang Anshi saw Zhang Fei, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Fei smiled wryly, "I'm really risking my life to fight a lawsuit this time!"

Wang Anshi jokingly said, "Isn't it before?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "So I'm used to it too."

Wang Anshi suddenly sighed: "I also have to admit that I really thought about this too simply, and it almost caused a catastrophe!"

The behavior of those people made him really terrified.

If he really stepped on it, then he might really fall into it.

Judging from the facts, almost no one supports him.

It can be seen how much everyone takes this statement seriously.

Zhang Fei glanced at Wang Anshi, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Scholar Wang, this is just a lawsuit, and you will have a new law when the time comes."

As soon as the new law was mentioned, Wang Anshi's eyes became firm immediately, "If the reform is so simple, it's not my turn to do it, Wang Anshi."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said no more.

Wang Anshi continued: "It is said that Su Ziyou is Fan Chunren's assistant this time. None of the brothers from the Su family are mediocre, so you have to be careful."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I can't lose."

Wang Anshi likes this kind of confident people.

At this time, Xu Zhiqian also arrived.

After all, she is a woman, so she did not come to Kaifeng Mansion to rest with Zhang Fei.

The young couple came to the front yard together, and saw that the front yard was already crowded with people, but it was very quiet. Everyone looked numb and their eyes were dull, as if they were about to go to the execution ground. Unlike before, everyone was still talking about it. A few words.

This has all been lost.

Many people even think that Kaifeng Mansion is an ominous place.

Fan Chunren looked relaxed. Seeing Zhang Fei coming, he walked over, "Zhang San, what they did was definitely not what we wanted. I hope they don't affect you."

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly, "How could it not be affected?"

When Fan Chunren heard this, he couldn't help showing guilt, "Actually, I'm already stopping them, but."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Fan Sijian doesn't need to feel guilty, in fact, I am very worried about Fan Sijian."

Fan Chunren said in astonishment: "What are you worried about me?"

Zhang Fei said: "If Fan Sijian can't win like this, wouldn't it be very hopeless?"

Fan Chunren was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "First of all, I am absolutely sure that I can win you this time. Second, take a step back and say, even if I lose, I will not feel hopeless. You can't keep winning. "

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "Then I can rest assured."

Fan Chunren smiled and said, "Now I feel relieved."

After chatting for a while, both parties went to the side, ready to go to court.

After a while, the gate of Kaifeng Mansion opened slowly, and it was immediately crowded with scholars.

The common people don't care about this lawsuit at all, and it doesn't really have much direct relationship with them. Those who want to join in the fun will give up after seeing so many scholars.

Dressed in an official uniform, Zhao Bian came to the stage and sat down energetically, slapping the gavel majestically.

Immediately, both sides raised their heads to evade and be silent.

The voice of "mighty" is strong and powerful.

And when Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian came out from the corridor on the right, there were boos all over the sky, deafening.

Zhao Yan didn't stop them either. After all, they haven't asked any questions yet, so it's good to let them vent a bit, so as not to interrupt them when they ask questions.

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian had already anticipated this situation, so they came to their seats and sat down calmly, and began to prepare the copywriting.

And when Fan Chunren and Su Zhe came out over there, there were bursts of cheers again.

If the judgment is judged by public opinion, it is impossible for Zhang Fei to win.

When the time came, Zhao Bian patted the gavel and shouted: "Quiet."

The door gradually fell silent.

Immediately, Zhao Yan sent the defendant Su Shi to court.

"Su Zizhan, we support you."

"Zizhan, teach those young people a lesson."

And when Su Shi came to the hall, there were bursts of cheering and cheering at the door.

This Su Shi is also a man of temperament, and he bowed his hands towards the door gracefully, "Don't panic, everyone, I will not lose to that kid Zhang San."

This sentence boosted the morale in front of the door.

But Fan Chunren and Su Zhe felt a headache.

Brother, you are the defendant now, you are not allowed to perform on stage, why are you talking to those people outside the door.

Zhao Yan was also stunned. This was the first time he saw such an arrogant defendant, and he said, "Su Shi, what are you doing? Don't blame me for contempt of court if you want to mess around like this."

"Huh? Sorry, sorry."

Su Shi bowed his hands again and again, and quickly went to sit down in the dock. Since the defendant this time has a lot of background, the treatment is also very good.

Zhang Fei stood up, "Mr. Su, do you still remember where you were on the night of the third day of this month?"

There was a provocative smile on the corner of Su Shi's mouth, "I remember, I was drinking with some friends in Panlou that night."

Zhang Fei said again: "Do you still remember what you said at that time?"

Su Shi said: "I said a lot that night, how can I remember them all."

Zhang Fei looked down at the copy, read a passage, which was the one published in the tabloid, and then asked Su Shi, "Did you say that at the time?"

Su Shi nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhang Fei said: "I don't know where you learned that Master Wang asked tabloids to be banned from discussing current affairs?"

Su Shi said: "I also listened to what my colleagues said."

"Colleague." Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Then I can think that if you were not an official, you would not have known about this at the time."

"I object."

Fan Chunren immediately got up and said: "Zhang San's words are obviously partial and general, to induce..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Fei said, "I'm done asking."

Then sat down.

Xu Zhiqian whispered: "It seems that Fan Sijian has indeed improved a lot!"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I can't see it yet."

Fan Chunren stood up and said, "I hope that Bachelor Wang will testify in court."

Zhao Bian immediately sent Wang Anshi to the hall.

Su Shi got up and sat aside to rest.

Wang Anshi once swore that he would never sit on the witness stand again, it was too painful, but this time he didn't have a trace of resentment, because he believed that it was his own mistake and he had to bear the consequences.

Fan Chunren asked: "Scholar Wang, do you still remember what you were doing this morning in the third year of junior high school?"

Wang Anshi said: "I discuss matters with the officials in the Chui Gong Hall."

"What are you talking about?"

"About whether to ban tabloids from discussing current affairs."

"Where did Grand Master Wang go after the meeting?" Fan Chunren asked again.

Hearing this, Zhang Fei whispered, "He has indeed improved."

Wang Anshi said: "I went to the genuine bookstore."

Fan Chunren asked: "I don't know why Wang Xueshi went to the genuine bookstore?"

Wang Anshi said: "I'll go and inform Zhang San of the court's decision to stop publishing tabloids."

Fan Chunren said: "Is it about prohibiting tabloids from discussing current affairs?"

Wang Anshi nodded.

Fan Chunren said: "Can Xueshi Wang ensure that Zhang San didn't reveal anything to the outside world after he learned about this?"

Wang Anshi shook his head: "No."

Fan Chunren said: "If Zhang San leaked this matter to the outside world, would it be considered a leak of court secrets?"

Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "Of course not."

Fan Chunren said, "I'm done asking."
