Chapter 495 Scare you to death

Originally, Wei Yingfang and the others hoped to make a fuss about the public prosecutor's law by selling illegal salt from the salt households. Anyway, with a small amount of knowledge, no matter how the public prosecutor's law judges him, he will not lose anything.

But I didn't expect it to be tossed on my own head.

Asking for a confession before made people panic. After all, everyone's buttocks are not clean. I thought it would stop here, but I didn't know that the big stone hanging from the chest hadn't fallen yet, and the summons from the imperial court came again.

Subpoena?

What the hell?

They have never heard of Zhang Fei's lectures, and they don't know much about the concept of the rule of law, and their impression of the judiciary is still at the previous stage.

That's bad.

Because according to the previous judicial system, if you don't go to court, it will be no good.

Not a suspect, rarely testified in court.

In the classroom is the interrogation of the prisoner by the presiding officer.

Don't say let two people go to court to fight.

For a while, there was a lot of panic.

This routine is too familiar, it is to expand the case!

can not go!

Absolutely can't go!

But don't go, okay?

"Prefect Cai, the imperial court is obviously trying to weave injustice. Those officials have tried their best to cooperate with them, but they still received a subpoena from the imperial court. They have nothing to do with this case. What's the reason for this?"

Wei Yingfang immediately went to Cai Yanqing to complain.

At this moment, he felt a little regretful, why did the fire get bigger and bigger.

Isn't this all done by you?Cai Yanqing muttered something in his heart, but he asked, "Did they figure out why they were sent to court?"

Wei Yingfang said: "The imperial court's explanation is just to testify in court."

Cai Yanqing frowned and said, "Since it's a testimony, then it's not about Luo Zhi's injustice."

"But who knows what will happen in court? It is said that Zhang San was born in Er Bi, so he is very capable of wronging people."

After speaking, Wei Yingfang said again: "Besides, if we receive a summons from the imperial court, we officials have to go, so whoever decides this Hezhong Mansion is in charge."

Cai Yanqing pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "All right. I'll ask Director Zhuo to find out what the subpoena really means."

These officials are all administrative. In the past, there was no distinction between politics and law. It was simple and clear, but now that politics and law are separated, it is not clear who is in charge.

As the governor of a government, if his subordinates were passed on, he naturally had to ask for clarification, otherwise, how would he manage the officials below him in the future.

Shuiyun Pavilion.

"Yanei, Mr. Fu, cavalry, how is the delicious food in our Hezhong Mansion?"

Qin Yijie asked Cao Dongdong and the others.

Cao Dongdong said: "Although it's not as good as our Baifan Building's food, it's still pretty good. Today, I would like to thank Brother Qin and everyone for their hospitality. I would like to offer you a toast."

After drinking a cup, Qin Yijie suddenly asked: "That's right! Did the yamen hear that the imperial court issued many summonses?"

As soon as these words came out, the young generals around Qin Yijie immediately put down their chopsticks and looked at Cao Dongdong with a slightly nervous expression.

Fu Shichun saw it all in his eyes and thought, he really came here for this matter.

"I know this."

Cao Dongdong nodded vaguely while eating.

Qin Yijie asked again: "I don't know what the subpoena really means?"

Fu Shichun was about to explain, when Ma Xiaoyi suddenly said first: "It's very simple, it is to go to the court to give a confession. I have always wanted to go, but I have never had a chance. This time I may go to the court to give a confession."

Fu Shichun glanced at Ma Xiaoyi, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, so he quickly drank a glass of wine.

Qin Yijie looked at Ma Xiaoyi in surprise, "Does the horse team really want to testify in court?"

Ma Xiaoyi nodded straightly, "Yes! That's so interesting."

".interesting?"

Qin Yijie began to doubt life.

"Brother Qin, don't listen to Xiao Ma's nonsense."

Cao Dongdong said: "What's the fun? Back then, when Senior Scholars Wang and Senior Scholars Sima went to the hall to make confessions, they all found it boring. I remember one time, Senior Scholars Wang almost fell asleep, and they all closed their eyes and rested there."

"Scholar Wang Wang, Bachelor Sima?"

Qin Yijie didn't dare to answer the question: "But Wang Jiefu and Sima Jun are real."

"Yup!"

"Why do they have to go to court to make confession?"

"What's so strange about this? If it involves a case, of course you have to testify in court." Cao Dongdong looked at them inexplicably.

".?"

Qin Yijie and his companions looked at each other in blank dismay.

This imperial court is really unfathomable!

Fu Shichun looked at these two oily fellows, and thought to himself, are these two fellows really stupid, or fake?

royal court.

"People panic?"

Zhang Fei looked at Zhuo Qun in confusion, "What's so alarming?"

Zhuo Qun hurriedly said: "You don't know something, this is related to the career of officials."

"what?"

Zhang Fei was shocked and said, "What does this have to do with official career?"

Zhuo Qun couldn't help looking at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei seemed to understand his eyes, and said, "Sorry! I really don't know."

Zhuo Qun said: "If this official gets into a lawsuit, it will definitely affect his official career."

"lawsuit?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "No, no, Master Zhuo, you really misunderstood. The reason why our imperial court issued subpoenas to them was to let them testify in court, not to say that they got into a lawsuit. The imperial court provides help, which is beneficial to the official career, Sima and Wang have both testified before the court, it's nothing."

Zhuo Qun was surprised: "Even Bachelor Sima and Bachelor Wang have to testify in court?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Yes, if Master Zhuo doesn't believe it, you can ask an official who was transferred here from Kaifeng Mansion recently. He should know. If there is no legitimate reason, you still have to appear in court, unless you say If there is an urgent business, then you can explain it.”

It seems that this imperial court is much more powerful than the previous prison secretary!Zhuo Qun's heart was a little beating, he glanced at Zhang Fei, he hesitated to speak.

Zhang Fei's heart was like a bright mirror, and he said with a smile: "Master Zhuo, you can rest assured that we are only focusing on this case and do not involve other issues, and the imperial court will never suddenly decide whether the witness is guilty. It is also the procuratorate that prosecutes first, and then we will start the trial.

The entire public, procuratorate, and law are mutually supervised. Just imagine, we will investigate the evidence so meticulously for a suspect who sells illegal salt, so how can we use judicial power at will. "

Zhuo Qun said: "But it will be too complicated to try the case like this."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This is a rule, the purpose is to prevent unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. I also think that if we do this, everyone will feel more at ease instead of panic."

Speaking of this, he said with a chuckle: "Of course, I can also understand. After all, it's the first time, and I will gradually get used to it in the future."

Will you get used to it slowly?

When Zhuo Qun heard this sentence, he really had mixed feelings.

But since both Wang Anshi and Sima Guang had to appear in court, there was no other way.

You can only see what's going on first.

After sending Zhuo Qun away, Zhang Fei came to the courtyard again, and saw more than ten craftsmen were beating inside.

"Chairman Zhang is here."

The big dog came over immediately, bent over, hunched over, with a flattering face, pretending to be a talent.

Zhang Fei asked with a smile, "Can we finish the work before the court hearing the day after tomorrow?"

Big Dog immediately said: "President Zhang, don't worry, we promise to finish the work on time."

"Ok!"

Zhang Fei nodded, came to the corridor, looked at the rows of benches, sat on them, "Not bad, quite comfortable."

Having said that, he looked around and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation outside now?"

The big dog hurriedly said: "It's really panic. They didn't expect that the case would become so big. They all thought that Chief Judge Zhang was going to use this case to thoroughly investigate the salt administration. Recently, those officials have been walking around with each other. Even outside You can't see a grain of private salt."

Zhang Fei asked again: "No one wants to jump over the wall in a hurry."

The big dog said: "That's not true, because I don't know anything about the situation at the moment, so I don't have to jump over the wall in a hurry."

"That's good!"

Zhang Fei nodded and said with a chuckle: "I still want to punish me, let me see if I don't scare you to death. Haha.!"

This really frightened those salt officials enough. They were still very afraid of going to court. He is an official himself, so how could he not know the depth of this, but the problem is that the imperial court said it lightly, so he appeared in court to do it. It's hard to refuse a certificate. Doesn't it prove that you have ghosts in your heart.

It's not easy for Cai Yanqing to say anything more about this, after all, Yanhu is managed by the Yanguan, so there is still a slight relationship.

The imperial court also guaranteed that one case will be brought to justice.

You can only go and see the situation.

But this sleep is definitely impossible to sleep.

This morning is the day of the court session, and the time is set at Chen Shi in the morning.

Before dawn, there was already a huge crowd in front of the gate of the imperial court, even more people than last time.

"Who is squeezing, don't squeeze!"

"Ah! You young man wants to take advantage of my old lady."

"Is it you who squeezed towards me?"

"Lu Chapo, you had a hard time last time, it's our turn this time, you stand back."

"Why, my wife is here first."

The crowd in front of the door was a mess. Based on the last time, everyone was not that afraid of the imperial court. At the same time, everyone wanted to stand in front and have a good time going in later.

"Stop squeezing! Stop squeezing!"

A royal policeman came over and said, "I won't ask anyone to go in this time."

"Why?"

Lu Chapo was surprised: "Could it be that we said the wrong thing last time."

"I don't know about this, but it says so, you just need to stand upright, if you are crowded, then we will expel you all from the imperial court."

As soon as everyone heard that no one was going to go in for the jury, they immediately stood obediently, but no one left. Such things as private salt are really full of attention.

Moreover, everyone is very interested in the imperial court trial.

The courtyard is also full of people.

The number of people who came back this time was double that of last time, which shows that interests are more important than morality.

However, the chairs placed in the upper corridor are all benches this time, which can accommodate them all. It just means that everyone has to sit together, but at this moment, everyone’s mind is on the lawsuit, and it’s not necessary Pay attention to these details.

At this time, there was almost no one sitting comfortably, and they were all gathered in twos and threes, whispering and whispering, and when they were talking, their eyeballs were still wandering around.

"European Police Officer, am I sitting here too?"

He Chunlin came to the corridor and looked at Ou Jun with a little surprise.

Ou Jun nodded and said, "Yes."

He Chunlin asked again: "Am I not a witness? Why don't I sit here."

Ou Jun explained: "According to the rules of the imperial court, only key witnesses in some important cases will go to the witness room to sit there, and this ordinary witness will sit here."

"Ordinary witness?"

He Chunlin said in surprise, "I am an ordinary witness."

"Yes."

Ou Jun hurriedly said: "But this does not mean to humiliate!"

"I know."

He Chunlin hurriedly said, "I don't mind. Hehe."

He liked the ordinary witness, and he was a little relieved.

Ou Jun said again: "The judge may pass He Yanjian to testify in court later, but he may not pass it on. If not, I will look to He Yanjian and don't mind."

"No! No!"

He Chunlin wished you would not pass him on.

Just as he was talking, he saw Su Zhe and Chen Qi entering the hall, two fewer than last time, because for this case, their procuratorate just appeared in court, so they had nothing to say.

Su Zhe also didn't want to waste manpower, and now the procuratorate is preparing to recruit people.

And the four young King Kongs of the royal court over there also entered the hall to sort out their copywriting. They are currently in the internship stage and have to attend every court session.

When everyone saw it, they immediately took their seats.

After a while, Zhang Fei, Xu Zhiqian and Li Si entered the hall from the left.

This time everyone was very interested, seeing the Four Little King Kong and Su Zhe standing up, they also stood up one after another.

Zhang Fei who came to the presiding judge's platform nodded slightly, and said, "Everyone, please sit down."

He sat down by himself.

The rest of the people also sat down one after another, with all kinds of dissatisfaction on their faces, as long as they came here, their status seemed to be half short.

Xu Zhiqian put some paperwork on the table, then retreated to the small table behind and sat down.

Last time she was standing. Normally, the chief clerk stood next to the presiding officer in a case, but how could Zhang Fei have the heart to burden her, and specifically asked the big dog to arrange a small table behind.

After everything was ready, Zhang Fei said to Cai Jing, "Let's get started."

Cai Jing stood up immediately, and said loudly: "Today, this court is hearing the case of Huang Tong, a salt householder in Xuenv Township, selling illegal salt. Now the court is officially open."
