Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 296
Now the onlookers suddenly realized that they finally understood why Zhang Fei used the painting as a testimony, why he made it so mysterious, and found so many witnesses to prove how the carriage broke into the shed.

In fact, he did so many things to prove that the carriage rolled into the shed because the right wheel got stuck in the ditch.

That alone was enough to win the case.

Su Shi, who has always been confident, can't help but feel a little bit frustrated.

Let him come, he will definitely not fight like this, he is advocating talk, but in this lawsuit, Zhang Fei is completely relying on evidence, without too much debate.

"Master, how should we deal with it?"

Li Lei looked at Li Guozhong blankly.

Having experienced many battles, he rarely showed such a bewildered expression in the classroom.

Li Guozhong sighed: "Forget it! We have tried our best."

Completely disarm.

This is out of the question.

They used to think that there was a need to fight because there were no laws and regulations to specifically regulate street violations and the determination of responsibility for traffic accidents caused by them.

However, there are clear regulations to regulate the liability determination of traffic accidents caused by digging ditches and wells.

This invasion of the street is a violation of the regulations, but you also changed the route of the ditch planned by the court without authorization, removed the guardrails, and did not install new ones.

It is true that the carriage rolled over because the wheels got stuck in the ditch.

They have nothing to fight back.

No matter how much you can argue, you can't change this fact.

The old faces of the onlookers were like frost-beaten eggplants.

It's completely wilted!
Was it just an accident that Fan Chunren defeated Zhang Fei last time?

Since the opponent had no way to fight back, they didn't expect that Zhang Fei would play tricks on this ditch, so they went directly to the closing statement.

Li Lei stood up first, "The street where the incident happened is in a busy city, with cars coming and going every day, and the ditches the other party emphasized have existed for a long time, not just a few days or a few months ago. Yes, but two or three years.

According to the testimonies of all eyewitnesses, we can clearly know that although there were occasional collisions at that intersection, such a major accident had never occurred.

The few witnesses just now believed that it was caused by the frightened horse, because they heard the neighing sound of the horse, but based on this alone, they could not guarantee that it was not caused by improper driving.

At the same time, everyone should not ignore the fact that just before this, Patrolman Xie Hui had been busy for more than half a month, exhausted physically and mentally.

Although there is no way to prove this point, whether it is a frightened horse or improper driving, there are specific penalty standards in our dynasty.According to the law of our court, even if the accident is caused by the horse, the horse owner should bear the compensation for all losses, but in the punishment, the crime can be reduced by two degrees.

In any case, Spring Breeze Ten Miles suffered a huge loss because of this accident, even to the point of being unbearable.

And the other party is a patrolman. His job is to maintain traffic. He should pay more attention to this aspect of safety than ordinary people. He should give the people safety instead of fear. Patrol officers may also become more unscrupulous.

Therefore, I urge the Department of Records to judge that Xie Hui, the patrol officer, bears full responsibility and compensates for all the losses of Chunfeng Shili. "

After these words, Gu Ji and the others, who had been listless just now, cheered up again, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts.

One is the common people, the other is the police.

Once this issue is made public, the government will have to be scruples.

After Li Lei sat down, Zhang Fei stood up, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on Zhang Fei.

And most of them looked very nervous.

In fact, they don't care about the issue of compensation. Anyway, it's not the first time they lost to Zhang Fei. They care about whether Zhang Fei will magnify the problem.

Focus on Invasion Street.

This is the key!
Zhang Fei swept his eyes, as if seeing through their thoughts, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a relaxed expression, "I don't know if everyone present knows, but Lu Silu must be very clear. They all expressed their willingness to settle and pay reasonable compensation.”

As he spoke, he looked at Lu Jia and asked.

Lu Jiawen nodded slightly, indicating that Zhang Fei was not lying.

Only then did Zhang Fei continue to say: "At that time, some people speculated that the General Police Department believed that the responsibility was on their side, so they hoped to calm the matter and protect their own face, but it was not the case.

The reason why the General Police Department was willing to reconcile before was because the General Police Department believed that this traffic accident was completely caused by Chunfeng Shili's intrusion into the street. "

In the last half of the sentence, he spoke loudly and forcefully, as if he was afraid that everyone could not hear clearly.

All the officials onlookers gritted their teeth and looked fierce.

I knew it, I knew it, this kid wouldn't let us go so easily.

as predicted.

Emphasize this at the outset.

He also heard Zhang Fei say: "Then the question is, why has the Spring Breeze Ten Miles continued to occupy the streets in the past ten years, but the previous inspection department did not do anything about it?

This is the only reason why the General Police Department is willing to settle.Because the General Police Department believes that the inspection department's negligence in enforcing the law caused everything, and it must bear some responsibility. The inspection department has a close relationship with the General Police Department, and the General Police Department is willing to bear everything for the inspection department.

But it never occurred to me that Chunfeng Shili was greedy by nature, not only did not repent, but also demanded several times the compensation from the General Police Department. I really don't know who gave them the courage. "

Speaking of this, he looked directly at Gu Ji, and you are the culprit.

Everyone's eyes also turned to Gu Ji.

Gu Ji panicked suddenly, the hatred for Zhang Fei in his heart was already unforgettable.

This is completely unnecessary, you just deliberately embarrass me!

Having said that, it is impossible for Zhang Fei, who is bound to take revenge, to let him go.

Zhang Fei smiled slightly, looked down at the copy again, and continued: "It is precisely because of Chunfeng Shili's aggressiveness that the General Police Department changed its view on this accident. The General Police Department believes that this kind of conniving behavior will actually make Chunfeng Shili has become more unscrupulous and greedy, so he decided to hire our Bianjing Law Firm to fight the lawsuit. As for this lawsuit?"

Zhang Fei shrugged and smiled contemptuously: "There is no piece of evidence that can prove that Xie Hui, the patrolman, committed any illegal behavior while driving, but the illegal ditch is there, and I don't think there is any controversy in it .

By the way, what the other party said just now made me feel very ridiculous. He seemed to be suggesting to the recording department, why not wait for the next major accident to determine whether the illegal ditch is obstructing traffic. "

"I object."

Li Lei immediately stood up, "Zhang San's words are purely slanderous and groundless."

"I take back what I just said, I'm done."

Zhang Fei hurriedly raised his hand to apologize, and then sat down.

"You brat." Wang Anshi smiled and shook his head, "Based on this last sentence alone, it is impossible for the Secretary to judge Spring Breeze Ten Miles and the others to win!"

If the judge waits until the next accident, then the secretary will take full responsibility.

These words are too harsh.

Wen Yanbo caressed his beard and said, "Now it depends on how the Secretary of Records will judge."

Lu Gongzhu on the side was not as calm and calm as they were, because he knew that Lu Jiawen would face a lot of pressure when the lawsuit came to this point.

Sure enough, Lu Jiawen discussed with a group of managers and judicial inspectors for a while, but did not give a verdict immediately. Instead, he chose to temporarily suspend the meeting, and entered the room to discuss with a group of interrogators.

But the officials present had already expected what they were arguing about.

The General Police Department must have won, and Spring Breeze Ten Miles must be responsible, but the question is whether the Department of Records will give an explanation for this street invasion.

"Lu Silu, the street invasion is of great importance and involves many people. Even if there is a change, it should be a government order issued by the imperial court. We do not have this power."

"If we decide that Chunfeng Shili invaded the street illegally and demand rectification, it will cause great turmoil. I dare say that even the Kaifeng government would not dare to make a judgment lightly."

"The best way is to judge that Chunfeng Shili bears full responsibility and pay compensation to the General Police Department. As for whether to rectify or not, it is still up to the court to decide."

These experienced managers and judges knew the pros and cons of it, so they persuaded Lu Jiawen not to get too involved in this street violation, but to focus on the division of responsibilities.

Lu Jiawen is young and vigorous, and a very thoughtful official. He just wanted this highlight moment. He was looking forward to a classic case from the very beginning.

If it does not involve street violations, it is purely an ordinary traffic accident.

Lu Jiawen nodded and said: "I understand everyone's concerns, but our judgment must be fair and just. Now the reason why the General Police Department is suing Chunfeng Shili is because of Chunfeng Shili's street invasion. If we decide that the General Police Department wins, and Ignoring this street trespassing behavior, this is an incomplete judgment, which will definitely be convincing. Maybe Zhang San will continue to appeal. He mentioned this point more than once in the lawsuit.

We have no right to judge that all street violations are illegal, but we have the right to ask Chunfeng Shili to make rectifications. If we don't make this request, who will be responsible if accidents happen again in the future?
As for your worries, I think there is no need to worry about it at all, because they sued them, and we did not take the initiative to punish them, and we also asked Chunfeng Shili to accept the conditions of the General Police Department, but Chunfeng Shili was unwilling , now we can only judge based on facts, and we can't blame us. "

Those managers and judges looked at each other in blank dismay.

Yes!

If you don't ask for rectification, if there is an accident next time, they will definitely be responsible for it.

In the final analysis, it was Chunfeng Shili who committed his own death. If he had listened to persuasion back then, what would have happened today.

If something goes wrong, why let them wipe their ass.

If only the Spring Breeze Shili family was judged to carry out rectification, the harm would not be too great. As for other street intrusions, it would still be decided by the court.

After half an hour, Lu Jiawen returned to his seat with a group of managers and judges.

The hearts of those officials jumped to their throats.

Lu Jiawen looked around, and said loudly: "After our deliberation, this traffic accident was completely caused by Chunfeng Shili changing the ditch without authorization, and there was no warning and guardrail. Therefore, this officer hereby pronounces that Chunfeng Shili will bear all the responsibility. responsibility.

However, due to the lack of sufficient evidence to support the claim of the General Police Department, Chunfeng Shili only needs to compensate for the loss of carriages and horses, the medical expenses of Patrolman Xie Hui, and the cost of painting, with 87 pieces and 430 pennies.As for the reputation compensation, this has nothing to do with Spring Breeze Ten Miles, and Spring Breeze Ten Miles does not need to make any compensation for it.

Since Chunfeng Shili's intrusion into the street has already caused serious traffic hazards, the official ordered him to carry out rectification immediately. During the rectification period, fences should also be set up around the perimeter. If any accident occurs during the period, the official will definitely punish him severely . "
