Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Nothing to say

Someone once said: When the profit reaches 10%, some people are ready to move; when the profit reaches 50%, some people dare to take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample on all laws in the world; Not even afraid of going to the gallows.

These words are used to describe capitalists.

But it's actually more applicable to politicians.

In this game, the interests involved are really enough to make them do things that are devoid of conscience and inhumanity.

Zhang Fei came to the Northern Song Dynasty alone, and there were not many people he cared about, but Fang Yun was definitely the most important one. If it wasn't for Fang Yun's lawsuit, Zhang Fei might not have come to the capital.At the beginning of the year, Zhang Fei also asked Xu Zun to find a relationship and sent some money to Fang Yun.

But at this critical juncture, he just ignored Fang Yun, and he never expected that the other party would target a village woman in Dengzhou.

This really caught him off guard.

It really hit him seven inches above.

After Xu Zun learned of this, he hurried home.

"It really makes no sense!"

After Xu Zun read the letter, he was furious immediately: "How could they use such despicable tricks."

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly asked: "Daddy, didn't you have someone to take care of Ayun before, can you?"

Xu Zun glanced at his daughter and sighed: "I just want to help her to watch over her so that she won't be bullied, but I'm afraid this kind of behavior is unstoppable."

Who would have thought that someone would kidnap a village woman like Fang Yun, and the security must not have reached that level of protection.

At most, it is to avoid bullying Fang Yun by the neighbors.

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian looked at each other with despair in their eyes.

This is their last sustenance.

Xu Zun picked up the letter again and looked at it, wondering: "This case only broke out a few days ago, even if they rushed to Dengzhou immediately, it would be very difficult for them to go back and forth. To scare you?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "My daughter and Zhang San have already discussed this point. Fang Yun is just an ordinary village woman. If no one protects Fang Yun at all times, then they only need to send someone to be sure. We It’s too late to send someone there now.”

Maybe they are trying to scare people, but the question is whether you dare to bet, because they are absolutely capable of kidnapping Fang Yun, and it is very easy. Those who want to stop Wang Anshi's political reform are definitely not ordinary officials.

"It's all my fault! I didn't consider Fang Yun, what a fucking fuck."

Zhang Fei thumped the table in extreme annoyance.

Xu Zun glanced at him and said comfortingly, "Don't be in a hurry, since they have something to ask, they won't hurt Fang Yun for the time being."

Zhang Fei sighed: "I'm not worried about this for the time being. After all, Fang Yun is only useful if he is alive. I just hate myself for not thinking of this in advance. Before, the other party was willing to bribe me with 1 taels, but the cost of kidnapping Fang Yun may even cost one dollar." I can’t use Qianguan, I should have thought of this at the time.”

"Could this be the same group of people?" But as he said that, Xu Zun shook his head: "Too many people's interests are involved in this, I'm afraid it's not so easy to check!"

He said anxiously again: "The court will start tomorrow, and according to what this letter says, you are required to lose the lawsuit on purpose, not to mention postponing the trial, even if the verdict is not pronounced tomorrow, Fang Yun may be in danger .”

Xu Zhiqian said dejectedly: "We also talked about this just now. If you want to save Fang Yun, the only way is to hide the truth from Uncle Wang and lose the lawsuit on purpose. But if you do that."

"Yes! This is too unfair to Wang Jiefu."

Xu Zun sighed.

Xu Zhiqian asked: "Father, if this lawsuit is lost, will Uncle Wang never have another chance?"

Xu Zun pondered a little, "You can't say that. After all, this is just a lawsuit, and Wang Jiefu has not committed an intolerable mistake. Even if he loses, the officials must still trust Wang Jiefu. At that time, Wang Jiefu will still be able to make a comeback, but It’s going to be hard to regain control of people’s hearts!”

Zhang Fei was startled, "Yes! If you lose, you lose. It's just a lawsuit, so what does it matter?"

Xu Zun hurriedly said: "You can't say that, the consequences."

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Fei stood up suddenly, "Grandfather, can you arrange for me to meet with Senior Scholar Wang in secret."

Xu Zun asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Fei said: "I'm going to persuade Master Wang to give up this lawsuit."

Xu Zhiqian stood up anxiously: "Didn't we discuss it just now? Uncle Wang would never agree. If we do this, Fang Yun will be harmed instead."

Zhang Fei said: "I have a way to make him agree."

"any solution?"

Xu Zhiqian asked.

Zhang Fei said: "It's more rascal than them."

the next morning.

A lawsuit that is full of civil and military attention in the court is about to kick off in the Zhengshitang.

But I saw that the spacious hall was full of people, not only civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, but even most of the royal relatives and relatives came to watch the trial.

Because this lawsuit is so critical, it is no exaggeration to say that it involves the interests of the people of the world.

If this knife can directly chop Wang Anshi off his horse, then everything will be fine, let the whole world celebrate!

After Zhang Fei entered the lobby, the lobby fell silent for an instant, and then whispered again.

"Strange? Why is Zhang San dressed like this today?"

"Why isn't he wearing a green shirt?"

"Not wearing a hat and pen."

I saw that Zhang Fei was just the same as usual today, with a soft scarf on his head and a plain gray gown, not the same as before, when he went to court, he always wore a coquettish attire.

"Xiaomin met Fu Gong."

When he came to the middle, Zhang Fei bowed to Fu Bi who was sitting in the front seat, and bowed to Qian Yi who was beside him.

Qian Wei just nodded slightly, although he is no longer the censor, but he is an elder after all.

"Free gift!"

Fu Bi saw that Zhang Fei had two panda eyes and his face looked haggard, so he asked, "Zhang San, are you okay?"

Zhang Fei was startled, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Fu Gong for your concern, Xiaomin is fine, but thinking that Fu Gong is coming for trial today, I was nervous and didn't sleep well."

Fu Bi smiled slightly, but he didn't believe it, and said, "I heard that you like to sit and go to court, can you arrange tables and chairs for you?"

In order to be fair, he tried his best to meet Zhang Fei's request. I will make arrangements for you according to your habits.

Zhang Fei said: "Thank you Fu Gong for your kindness, Xiaomin doesn't need it today."

Fu Bi was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Qian Wei again.

Qian Yi also shook his head and said, "I don't need it either."

Sima Guang who was sitting on the side suddenly frowned and said, "This is not right!"

Wen Yanbo beside him nodded slightly and said, "Yes! Why isn't he wearing that green gown today?"

"Not only that."

Sima Guang said: "In the previous few lawsuits, he usually brought Xu Zhiqian with him, but today Xu Zhiqian did not come, and Mr. Fu did not say that he was not allowed to bring Xu Zhiqian with him, and he was empty-handed and brought nothing."

Wen Yanbo glanced at Zhang Fei, and said again: "Could it be that he has the chance to win."

Sima Guang frowned and said: "Even if he has the chance to win, with his personality, he will be well prepared. This lawsuit is so important. If you make more preparations, you will never go wrong."

As he said that, he glanced at Wang Anshi who was facing him, and saw that Wang Anshi was very relaxed. He thought to himself, am I worrying too much?

Fu Bi actually noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Fei, but ask him, he also knows how to flatter, so he didn't care so much, he slapped the gavel and started the trial directly.

bang.

The hall was instantly quiet.

All held their breaths.

No one cared about Zhang Fei's clothes anymore.

Since it was Qian Wei who filed the complaint, Fu Bi naturally asked Qian Wei first.

Qian Wei is also worthy of being a censor, he is catchy and eloquent, citing scriptures and classics, talking about ancient and modern times.

The scholar-bureaucrat next to him shook his head and was immersed in listening.

This is a lawsuit!

How tall.

In comparison, Zhang Feina is simply vulgar, he will read according to it, intermittently, without any skills at all.

This thought is half a stick of incense.

After finishing the reading, Fu Bi suddenly looked at Zhang Fei, and saw that he was resting with his eyes closed, and he didn't dare to neglect him. This kid often won by surprise, and asked, "Zhang San, what can you say?"

Zhang Fei opened his eyes, was silent for a while, and then said: "Xiaomin has nothing to say."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

People like Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others inevitably stood up.

"Nothing to say?"

Everyone in Fu Bi was dumbfounded, and asked: "You are here to defend the system of the Third Division, how can you have nothing to say?"

Zhang Fei replied: "This Mr. Qian's words are so reasonable that Xiaomin doesn't know how to refute them. Maybe the establishment of the Three Divisions really violated the law of the ancestors."

Qian Wei looked at him with a look of astonishment. Although he talked about half of the incense sticks, it was only an opening statement, which was tentative, and he hadn't even thrown out his core arguments yet!

This is unbearable.

Not likely!

Fu Bi first glanced at Wang Anshi, and then said to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, come and talk."

Zhang Fei walked over.

Fu Bi leaned forward and reprimanded in a low voice: "You see clearly, this is the political affairs hall, not your lobby, so don't play tricks here."

Zhang Fei replied: "In the court, Xiaomin never pretends to be mystifying, and Xiaomin is not a person who is good at sophistry. Xiaomin is used to discussing facts. Regarding the law of the ancestors, Xiaomin once debated it specifically. Now What the other party said makes sense, so of course Xiaomin has to admit it."

Fu Bi frowned and said, "If you continue to do this, I will directly judge you to lose."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Xiao Min was convinced after losing."

"you!"

Fu Bi was stunned for a moment.

what happened?

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly called Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, and Wen Yanbo over.

What happened?

Liu Shu and the others were all at a loss, and all of them pricked up their ears.

Sima Guang walked faster than Wang Anshi, came to Fu Bi with a whoosh, and asked Zhang Fei, "Zhang San, what the hell are you doing?"

Zhang Fei remained silent.

At this time, Wang Anshi also came over.

Fu Bi said to Wang Anshi again: "Wang Jiefu, you can ask him yourself."

Wang Anshi asked Zhang Fei, "What's going on?"

Zhang Fei said, "I'm sorry for disappointing Grand Master Wang."

Wang Anshi stared at him for a while, then glanced at Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo suddenly, and then said to Fu Bi: "Mr. Fu, I am willing to admit defeat."

"Wait!"

Sima Guang was humiliated by Wang Anshi's gaze, I didn't play tricks and said: "If this matter is not made clear first, there is absolutely no way to judge, otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the public."

Wen Yanbo also nodded: "The reason why we are fighting this lawsuit is to seek fairness, so it is meaningless."

Zhang Fei said: "Anyway, I don't know how to refute it. Let's discuss the facts. This establishment of three divisions is indeed a violation of the law of the ancestors."

Fu Bi pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Anshi: "Wang Jiefu, I can give you another chance. If you have any difficulties, I can adjourn you for a later trial. Justice comes first."

Wang Anshi said: "No need, if you lose, you lose."

"Fu Gong, you can't judge."

Sima Guang immediately said: "This is not fair at all."

Wang Anshi said: "It's okay not to judge, anyway, if they want to quarrel in the future, they will go to you to quarrel, and don't come to me."

Sima Guang excitedly said, "Wang Jiefu, are you crazy?"

Wang Anshi said, "I'm very sober."

Sima Guang looked at Zhang Fei again and said, "Zhang San, what happened?"

Zhang Fei said: "Thank you, Master Sima, for your concern. I really can't find a reason to refute it."

"you.."

Sima Guang was so anxious that his beard curled up.

He knew something must have happened, and that's exactly why he's fighting this lawsuit, and he wants a fair settlement.

Doing so would make it even worse.

Fu Bi thought so too, but he was helpless, they all said so, it is impossible not to judge, although they care about fairness, but many people only care about victory or defeat, Wang Anshi has already conceded, if he does not judge, then others will You can only trouble them, and there is no reason to trouble Wang Anshi again.

Fu Bi can't bear this responsibility!

He sighed, "Okay! Go back first."

Sima Guang became furious, waved his sleeves, and left angrily.

Fu Bi slapped the gavel and announced in public that the establishment of the three divisions violated the law of the ancestors.
