Northern Song Dynasty Justice

In fact, Zhang Fei didn't want to read books because he was lazy. Song Xingtong also read books a lot, but his talent in this area was indeed not as good as that of Sima Guang and Su Zhe, so it was impossible for him to memorize everything backwards.

That being the case, he only focused on the key points, and as for those complicated tasks, he handed them over to those with higher talents.

Since he became the president of the court, he has paid the most attention to one of the key points of "Song Xingtong", which is this pocket crime.

Therefore, he remembers very clearly what he said about the "sin of not deserved", and there is no need to read it accordingly.

It can be seen that he has studied it.

Although based on the legal knowledge and legal thoughts he has learned, he definitely does not approve of pocket crimes, but he also has to admit that the current pocket crimes are an important basis for his construction of the legal system.

What is a pocket crime means that any behavior of yours can be thrown into it, and then it will become a crime and be punished.

Of course, it is impossible for you to break the law even if you eat a meal. Usually pocket crimes are still applied. You do have some misconducts, but the scary thing is that the punishment brought by your misconducts is uncertain. You Still can't refute.

That is, felony with light sentence, misdemeanor with heavy sentence.

Su Zhe's worries also refer to this point. This crime is vague, and the punishment is up to you, so how will our procuratorate supervise.

Everything you say is right.

However, shaping pocket crimes is Zhang Fei's goal.

Substantializing pocket crimes and turning them into specific regulations will make it easier to achieve your goals.

This is like turning a lump of mud into a cup, which is obviously much easier than changing the shape of a cup.

Zhang Fei seldom changes the existing provisions. In the military law, he adds guiding principles.

In civil law, he just looked for pocket crimes, filled them, shaped them into the shape he wanted, and canceled the pocket crimes by the way.

Today's penalty is to turn this pocket crime in miscellaneous laws into a regulation on punishment for public security management.

And such regulations were precisely what the Song Dynasty lacked.

In fact, Song Xingtong also had very detailed regulations on this aspect, but they were all for the death penalty, and the lightest sentence was imprisonment, because the pursuit of ancient times was not development, but stability.

For this, the punishment is very severe.

Of course, officials will often give light sentences according to the severity of the circumstances, but light sentences are often hit with dozens of boards.

But as far as the legal profession is concerned, there is a big gap in it.

Obviously not conducive to the development of the legal system.

As Su Zhe said, for the same behavior, some people will be arrested, and some will not. If this situation exists in a large number, there will be no law in the hearts of the people, only class.

This is extremely detrimental to the promotion of the rule of law.

Today's trial is just an introduction, the purpose is to lead to the Public Security Management Regulations and Punishment Law, but the process is far more thrilling than Zhang Fei imagined.

As soon as Su Zhe left, the culprit hooked up with Ma Xiaoyi, humming Liu Sanbian's ditty, and came to the lake.

A few of them came here, rarely reported, and went straight inside.

"You two still dare to come here?"

Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi angrily.

Xu Zhiqian, who was on the side, also gave the two of them an extremely displeased look.

Just now they really frightened their husband and wife.

This Cao Dongdong can't afford to make mistakes. You must know that Zhang Fei has done a lot of things before, attracting all the troubles to himself, just to make the police station rich.

"Why don't you dare to come?"

Cao Dongdong sat down, poured wine for himself, and had a nice drink.

If he could beat him, Zhang Fei would definitely knock his wine glass away.

Ma Xiaoyi came closer and said in surprise: "Third brother, you really didn't see that we were all acting just now?"

"no!"

Zhang Fei roared.

Ma Xiaoyi scratched his head, "This shouldn't be!"

Cao Dongdong hehe said: "What shouldn't be, this yamen's acting skills are so superb, it's normal for him not to see it?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "But this trick was taught by the third brother. Third brother, there is no reason for you not to see it!"

Xu Zhiqian immediately looked at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei immediately said with a look of grievance: "Little Ma! Don't talk nonsense, when did I teach you such a dirty trick?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Didn't the third brother use this method in the lawsuit between my elder brother and Teacher Lin? First, he portrayed my elder brother as a heinous villain, and then reversed it in court, which made both the queen mother and Uncle Cao feel sorry for my elder brother." Guilty, we're just doing it all over again."

The atmosphere instantly froze.

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.

Xu Zhiqian said lightly: "You really taught me."

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Fei scratched his neck, sat down, snatched the flagon from Cao Dongdong's hand, poured himself a glass, held back for a long time before saying: "But I didn't teach you, you want to publicize that you have a lot of wives and concubines, and you are unrestrained. You are the superintendent, not the yamen, you have to pay attention to your own image, don't you see that not all the people support you.

Do you still remember that when I used this trick, I hid something from you, so that you would show a feeling of grievance, anger, and wronged in class, this is the subtlety of this trick place. "

Cao Dongdong immediately said: "How could I not know this, I have studied this move of yours for a long time, in fact, I also showed anger just now, but Xiaochun made me show a kind of unruliness again."

"It's all because of your inherent nature."

I saw Fu Shichun walking over.

Xu Zhiqian muttered, "Okay! All the suspects have arrived."

Zhang Fei asked: "Brother Xiaochun, what is going on?"

Fu Shichun sat down and explained the whole thing roughly.

It turned out that the disarmament caused those soldiers to make troubles everywhere in those few days, but Ma Xiaoyi was so excited that he arrested people everywhere. Cao Dongdong, who was sitting in the office, looked very itchy, so he also went out to look for work.

In fact, he didn't go to South Street to seek pleasure because of letting the government go, but he went to South Street specifically to see if he could save the beauty, because he knew that the chance of accidents in that kind of fireworks place was very high.

Moreover, he also borrowed the idea of ​​the plainclothes police in Bianjing and deliberately went there in plain clothes.

In the end, it really gave him a chance.

The purpose of Fu Shichun's coming here was to keep an eye on Cao Dongdong. He was extra careful about the prisoners Cao Dongdong brought.

Sure enough, when Fu Shichun contacted Han Dongniang secretly, he found that Han Dongniang had been threatened by someone, so he took advantage of Han Dongniang's desire to leave Wanhualou, and pulled Han Dongniang to his side, asking her to testify truthfully.

That's how today's scene came about.

Xu Zhiqian immediately asked: "Since you know that Han Dongniang is being threatened, why don't you let her speak out in court?"

Fu Shichun said: "That's because the other party is just using the mouth of the Wanhualou old bustard to threaten Han Dongniang. If the old bustard refuses to admit it in court, we have no evidence to punish them. Then I thought, why not take advantage of this point, To force the bustard to terminate the contract with Han Dongniang."

Xu Zhiqian frowned and asked, "Then do you know who the real culprit is?"

Fu Shichun shook his head and said, "That old bustard refuses to reveal who is behind the scenes."

Zhang Fei sighed, "Presumably they also discovered this problem because of this. In fact, the law can be used to deal with the public prosecutor's law, and now they are hiding, we are in the open, you have to be very careful in the future."

Fu Shichun said: "This is also the reason why I asked the Yamen to say that in court. This guy's nature is hard to change. I think that instead of covering up his preferences, it is better to use this case to speak out. After all, this case is right. He's very beneficial."

When this guy was working on Fengyue News, he was already very skilled in setting up various personas for singing girls, making these Fengyue news full of fun.

Zhang Fei nodded, glanced secretly at Cao Dongdong, but seeing this guy shaking his head and drinking, he didn't care at all, and smiled secretly, yes!This guy never cared what the people would think of him, what he cared most about was the opinion of Empress Dowager Cao.He also said: "At present, it is only limited to the city, and it is easy to control, but the next autumn tax will cover the entire Hezhong Mansion, and now that the other side has discovered this attack point, you must be extremely careful about the autumn tax.

Remember, the Royal Police is only responsible for passive tax calculation, and not to take the initiative to interrogate the people. All problems should wait until after the event, and then make plans. "

In ancient times, tax collection was always the source of contradictions, and it involved too many areas.

Cao Dongdong grinned and said: "You can rest assured, we have done it once, we know how to do it, and there will be no mistakes."

Ma Xiaoyi leaned on the table with his chin in one hand, "Third brother, you haven't even commented on how I performed today. Those answers were all figured out by myself."

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Very good. In the future, Sergeant Ma can represent the police station to testify in court for a long time, and assist the imperial court to hear the case."

Ma Xiaoyi was immediately refreshed, and sat up straight, "Really?"

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and said, "I will help you build that seat well."

Ma Xiaoyi excitedly said: "Thank you third brother."

Zhang Fei looked at Fu Shichun again and said, "Brother Xiaochun, you may be busy recently."

Fu Shichun immediately said: "I'm already very busy."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Cao Dongdong.

Zhang Fei said: "But there is no way. Our imperial court is going to cooperate with the procuratorate and the police station to formulate regulations on punishment for public security management. Your police station is on the front line and has sufficient experience!"

"I don't have much experience." Fu Shichun shook his head.

Zhang Fei said: "You are just a representative, you can discuss the details with Xiao Ma and the others, but you must participate, otherwise, if your police station does not know the specific regulations, it will bring a lot of trouble to the police station."

Fu Shichun suddenly had no love in his life.

Zhang Fei didn't care so much about him, he was here to do this work, and then he explained to them in detail what this labor labor meant and how it should be carried out.

This aspect is carried out by Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi.

They like this one.

Although the Regulations on Public Security Management Penalties are still in the preparatory stage, they are actually being implemented.

This is Zhang Fei's power. His legal precedents are a kind of suggestion. He judges first and then revises. This is also to protect the power of the Legislative Council. The president of the judge has no legislative power.

The next day.

Xu Jingtian, Lu Shier and others came to the police station to report early with hoes and brooms on their shoulders.

None of those sentenced yesterday were imprisoned.

The reason is simple, there is no such condition.

The cell of the imperial court is still unknown.

"Come with me!"

After signing, Ma Xiaoyi shook his head, and led a group of them out of the police station with a few royal policemen.

But seeing that the door was crowded with melon-eating people, all of them were sons or soldiers, they also came here specially to see what was going on with the labor.

A large group of people followed them.

Xu Jingtian yelled unhappily: "You people are really strange, why don't you have your own business, why follow us, get out!"

A young man responded: "Only you are allowed to go on this street, not us? We are not breaking the law. Can you control me?"

Xu Jingtian glanced at Ma Xiaoyi resentfully, but Ma Xiaoyi didn't care at all, and led them to the vicinity of the crime scene, which is an alley behind the East Street.

This alley, Xu Jingtian and the others all know that at night, the guests in this restaurant all urinate and even shit here, it is really notorious!
After all, it is not very convenient to go to a hut these days, and the East Street is also a restaurant area. As long as the weather is hot, this place will stink.

They are also one of the regular customers themselves!
Ma Xiaoyi covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, "Your task today is to clean up this place."

"Sergeant Ma, we don't deserve to be guilty of this!" Xu Jingtian said with teary eyes.

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Whoever made you offend Judge Zhang, go in and sweep it, otherwise, the consequences will only be more serious."

There is no way!

Xu Jingtian and the others could only walk in with tears in their eyes.

OMG!

The crowd of onlookers felt palpitations at this time, constantly reminding themselves, don't make trouble, don't make trouble.

this is too scary!

at dusk.

Wanhualou!
"Wow, why are there so many customers today?"

"Yes! They are all full!"

When the two scholars came to Wanhualou, they couldn't help being surprised to see the crowds inside.

Coming to a wine table nearby, a scholar asked: "Your Excellency, why is the business here so good today?"

"Because there's going to be a great show."

"I'm coming!"

There was only a yell, and everyone looked up, but saw a woman coming down from upstairs.

It was Han Dongniang.

I saw two men walking up, it was Kong Tai and Sun Sheng.

It turned out that after Lu Bangxing's twists and turns, Zhang Fei finally gave them a chance. If they were willing to sincerely apologize to Han Dongniang, then they would not be allowed to dump their shit.

After all, the meaning of an apology is far better than letting them dump their shit.

The audience immediately shouted: "Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!"

"Scholars can be killed but not humiliated!"

"Ha ha---!"

We must cheer for them!

Kong Tai and Sun Sheng blushed as if they were a monkey's ass.

But they would rather apologize than take the shit out of it.

"Cough cough!"

Kong Tai coughed twice.

The scene immediately quieted down.

Kong Tai opened his mouth, and then glanced at Ou Jun, the royal policeman beside him.

Ou Jun whispered: "Dear guests."

Kong Tai nodded, and said loudly: "Dear guests!"

This opening made the guests laugh out loud.

Kong Tai lowered his head and continued to read: "I, Kong Tai, used to be a soldier of the Yongxing Army. I used to maintain law and order in Hezhong Mansion and arrest thieves. I should know how to obey the law better than ordinary people!"

As he read, Guan Zhong laughed offstage.

It turned out that Zhang Fei wrote it himself, because he felt that Xu Zhiqian's writing was not deep enough.

After reading eloquently for a long time, Kong Tai and Sun Sheng raised their teacups and handed them to Han Dongniang, "Here, I, Kong Tai (Sun Sheng), beg Han Dongniang to forgive us for our faux pas after drinking, and we promise that we will never do it again. "

"Ha ha!"

When the guests saw this scene, they burst into tears with laughter.

Han Dongniang pursed her lips, desperately suppressed her smile, waved her hands and said, "You can drink this tea by yourself, I forgive you."
