Chapter 109 Officials and People
For the imperial court, this lawsuit came out of nowhere, without warning.
After all, it was initiated by the people, and unlike last year, this time the target was the imperial court.
But the master who has been in the officialdom all year round is not a human being, and they quickly realized.
Suddenly found that once this lawsuit starts, it will be very important.
Because this lawsuit has almost concentrated all the contradictions in the current court, and it also involves the main problems currently facing the country.
It is related to the vital interests of each yamen.
So all forces have participated in it.
Officials such as Yushitai, Dali Temple, Judgment Court, and Ministry of Punishment immediately became popular in the eyes of everyone.
Officials of various divisions and ministries put forward their demands to these jurors, either expressly or implicitly, in short, hoping to lead the lawsuit in a direction favorable to them.
For example, the officials of the Third Division approached the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and the Trial Court, hoping not only to let Zhang Fei lose the lawsuit, but also to take the opportunity to convict Zhang Fei of a serious crime so that he would not stand up.
In fact, this is also the appeal of many officials.
In view of the fact that Zhang Fei's purpose of filing this lawsuit is likely to be linked to Wang Anshi's reform, which is what they are opposed to, the best result is naturally to catch them all.
Of course, there are also some officials who hate the servant law. They hope that it can be dealt with fairly, and they can use this lawsuit to completely change this evil law.
For example, Chen Shengzhi and Lu Gong think so.
As long as he is not in Kaifeng Mansion, Lu Gong's works are more biased towards Zhang Fei.
Although they were also unhappy about Zhang Fei's high profile, but compared to the two evils, it is obvious that the labor law is more harmful.
These jurors all hoped to be fully prepared, so they suggested that the trial should be held one month later.
It's a pity that Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, the presiding judges, demanded that the trial start seven days later. They knew about it in advance, so they were very well prepared.
Of course, their reason was that the case involved common people, and it had already been widely circulated, and it would be detrimental to the imperial court if it dragged on.
Representatives from various ministries and divisions were soon elected, of course Xu Zun from Dali Temple, Lu Huo from Yushitai, Qi Hui from the Trial Court, and Liu Shu from the Ministry of Punishment.
It's not one of them to mention the prison department. After all, this department is in charge of prisons. If it is a corruption case, they will definitely participate.
Hanlin Academy.
Sima Guang handed the list to Wang Anshi, and said: "This is very different from the previous joint trial. The people in the hall are people from Erbi, not criminals. I wonder how you plan to try it?"
Wang Anshi took a look and found that his guess was about the same as his own. After putting down the list, he looked at Sima Guang: "It's not the first day we met. If you have any thoughts, just tell me."
Sima Guang stroked his beard, "You should be more aware of the situation in the court than I am. To be fair, why not let those jurors tangle with Zhang San, and we can win immediately."
They all knew in their hearts that those jurors had purpose and tendencies. If they were not allowed to give full play, no one would be convinced by the results of the trial.
Wang Anshi knew this, but he still couldn't help teasing: "Are you afraid of losing last time?"
".?"
Today is the day of the trial.
Early morning hours.
Zhang Fei was dressed in white pajamas, sitting in front of the bronze mirror, closing his eyes and meditating.
A beautiful woman behind him is combing his hair carefully. This beautiful woman is Gao Wenyin.
She was dressed neatly and meticulously, so it could be seen that she just rushed over to help Zhang Fei take care of it.
But I have to say that these days, she really does her best to serve Zhang Fei's food and daily life. Except for sleeping, she is really meticulous and impeccable in the rest.
As for sleeping...
In fact, it can be regarded as helping Zhang Fei recharge his energy, so as not to make Zhang Fei overworked.
While helping Zhang Fei comb her hair, Gao Wenyin secretly glanced at Zhang Fei in the bronze mirror, and opened her lips several times, but she still held back.
"What does Madam want to say?" Zhang Fei asked suddenly.
Gao Wenyin was so startled that she almost couldn't hold the comb firmly, her eyes were obviously closed?Looking into the bronze mirror again, Zhang Fei had opened his eyes and was looking at her with a smile.
She panicked, and said in a low voice, "My husband, is it dangerous to go here?"
This woman is not stupid, she obviously wants to ask about success or failure, but she pretends to care about me.Zhang Fei said with a smile: "There is always danger, if you go to court, anything can happen."
After Gao Wenyin heard this, her eyes were full of worry.
Zhang Fei originally wanted to persuade her to rest assured, but it can be seen that the atmosphere is very similar to the parting of life and death in an idol drama, so he followed the atmosphere and said: "I happen to have something to ask my wife to agree to me."
Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "Husband, please tell me, if Wen Yin can do it, Wen Yin will definitely agree to it."
Zhang Fei suppressed his smile and said with his lines on his back: "Regardless of the outcome of this trip, I hope Madam will stop thinking about suicide."
"what?"
Gao Wenyin never thought that Zhang Fei would make such a request.
Zhang Fei said: "For this lawsuit, many people have taken risks and exhausted their energy, just to save your lives and clear up your grievances.
If the wife still wants to die, I think it is unfair to many people, and it will also make everyone feel frustrated and make this lawsuit meaningless. "
Gao Wenyin frowned, and her almond eyes gradually shed tears. After a while, she nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I promise my husband, no matter what, I will never seek death again."
It's still an idol drama!Zhang Fei nodded, "That's right."
Gao Wenyin silently helped Zhang Fei comb up.
"Husband, after combing, it's time to get dressed."
After combing her bun, Gao Wenyin shouted softly again.
"Get my shirt."
Zhang Fei stood up again.
"Oh."
Gao Wenyin hurriedly took out a green robe from the closet.
"It's not this one." Zhang Fei pointed to the closet over there, "It's the new ones hanging inside."
"Oh."
Gao Wenyin hurried to the long wardrobe again. When the wardrobe was opened, she couldn't help being taken aback, "Why are they all the same?"
I saw a row of turquoise robes hanging inside, about seven or eight pieces.
Zhang Fei said: "It's different! Those are new ones, you can just pick one up."
"Ah, yes!"
Gao Wenyin took off the new suit, came to Zhang Fei's side, and asked cautiously: "Every time my husband goes to court, do you always wear new suits?"
Zhang Fei nodded, "Although they all look the same, I hope each one has its own story."
Gao Wenyin nodded dully.
It can only be said that this Erbi guy is really rich.
Under Gao Wenyin's considerate service, he soon helped Zhang Fei take care of every detail.
"How about it?"
Zhang Fei turned around and asked Gao Wenyin.
Gao Wenyin is also that kind of very simple woman, just like Zhang Fei, she is even more coquettish than she was standing in the alum building that day, she nodded and said in a different way: "It's very beautiful."
"Oh, not so much."
Zhang Fei went to the closet again, took out a very exquisite small wooden box from it, opened the wooden box, and saw more than ten brand new short pens inside.
Although they are exactly the same, Zhang Fei still made a choice, "It's just you."
Take one and stick it on the brim of your hat.
Gao Wenyin felt even weirder.
After some care, the "couple" came to the hall.
Xu Zhiqian had been waiting here a long time ago. She was so excited that she didn't sleep well all night.
It was her first time to go to court, and although she was only assisting Zhang Fei, it was a dream come true for her.
Today she is also dressed as a man, and it is more retro. She is wearing a black robe with a red edge, which fully shows her tall and exquisite figure. The wooden hairpin on her hair has also been changed to red silk.The black hair was combed meticulously, and the fair and delicate melon-seeded face was fully exposed, showing a heroic spirit.
"Why are you dressed like this?"
Seeing Zhang Fei's fancy dress, Xu Zhiqian couldn't help rolling her eyes slightly.
As a girl, I dress so solemnly, but as a man, you dress so coquettishly.
"What do you know?"
Zhang Fei said: "This is called leading the fashion. Just wait and see. It won't be long before everyone in the world will learn from me, and hundreds of years later, when people see this outfit, they will still miss me."
Hundreds of years later?Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips in disdain.
Believe in you.
"If you don't believe it, forget it!"
Zhang Fei raised his head towards the door, "Let's go!"
As soon as the door was opened, there was a vast expanse of darkness outside the door.
"Wow! What's going on!"
Zhang Fei bounced back quickly, and said in horror: "Are we under siege?"
Xu Zhiqian said angrily and amusedly: "They are here to cheer you up, siege? This is the capital, what are you thinking."
"Cheer?"
Zhang Fei didn't react for a moment.
Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "This lawsuit concerns the people of the world."
Only then did Zhang Fei come to his senses, tidy up quickly, and then asked Gao Wenyin: "Madam, is there anything else that needs to be tidied up?"
Gao Wenyin looked at it carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Very good."
Only then did Zhang Fei walk out with confidence.
His body was so dazzling that he could be seen from far away. When he stood at the door, he was definitely the focus of the audience.
"Zhang San!"
"Zhang San!"
All the people in front of the gate raised their arms and cheered, making deafening shouts.
Taking a closer look, even Ma Tianhao, Chen Maoqian and others were among them.
Zhang Fei has also fought many lawsuits, but this has never happened.
I still remember that when I helped Li Si fight the lawsuit, many people even took pleasure in other people's misfortune and sang against it.
It can be seen how much the people hate this servant law.
To put it bluntly, you don't have to borrow usury.
The scariest thing in the world is that you can't refuse.
However, this time almost all non-privileged people spontaneously came to cheer for Zhang Fei.
This time they really hope that Zhang Fei can recreate the magic.
Every sound is from the heart, with anticipation.
Zhang Fei was also deeply affected, and involuntarily pulled up the smooth, delicate, weak and boneless hand beside him.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Zhiqian retracted her hand like lightning.
Zhang Fei was startled, turned his head to look, and said depressedly: "I said Mrs. Xu, why do you always stand in my wife's place. Get up! Get up!"
"I'll settle the score with you later." Xu Zhiqian glared at him and stepped aside.
Zhang Fei turned his head and looked back.
Gao Wenyin blushed and stepped forward.
Zhang Fei took her hand, waved to the people in front, and smiled confidently.
The people were even more excited, and there was another louder wave of noise.
"Er Bi Zhang San!"
"Er Bi Zhang San!"
!
Zhang Fei pulled his face, and put down his hands in embarrassment, you guys did it on purpose, right?
After getting into the carriage, the common people consciously gave way.
There were people standing on both sides of the road, and there was a burst of cheering wherever the carriage passed, giving Zhang Fei the feeling that the carriage had never moved.
"Miss Xu, why are you sweating?"
Zhang Fei turned around, and suddenly found that Xu Zhiqian, who was sitting across from her, was dripping with beads of sweat on her forehead.
"No!" Xu Zhiqian anxiously wiped her sweat with a silk handkerchief.
Zhang Fei said: "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me quickly, I can't take care of you all the time in the hall later."
"I'm fine. I'm just!"
"Just what?"
"It's just seeing them expecting so much, I... I'm afraid I'll disappoint them." Xu Zhiqian said sarcastically.
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Don't think too much, we are not their saviors, the decision is not in our hands."
