Xu Zun immediately called Zhang Fei into the house and introduced Liu Zhao to him.
"I, Zhang San, have met Mr. Liu."
Zhang Fei quickly bowed.
"No need to be so polite!"
Liu Zhao waved his hand and asked immediately, "I heard that you want to help Ah Yun overturn the case?"
"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded.
Liu Zhao said: "I wonder how you plan to help Ah Yun overturn the case?"
Zhang Fei seemed a little hesitant and glanced at Xu Zun.
Liu Zhao asked, "Can't I tell you?"
Zhang Fei said: "Please forgive me, Mr. Liu, because in my opinion, a lawsuit is a game. If I expose my witnesses and evidence in advance, I may fail."
"Lawsuit? Gambling?"
Liu Zhao laughed and said, "Your statement is quite novel. Okay, I won't ask any more questions."
He was a simple person by nature, and he came here only to inform his good friend, not for anything else, and he had no interest in political struggles. He chatted with Xu Zun for a while, then stood up and said goodbye.
After he left, Xu Zun called Zhang Fei into the room again and asked him solemnly, "Are you sure you can win?"
Zhang Fei nodded first, then asked, "My benefactor, is there anything else involved in this case?"
Xu Zun said: "You don't have to worry about this."
Zhang Fei said, "If I don't know the whole story, I won't know the stakes involved. I might say something wrong in class, which is also crucial."
Xu Zun felt that what Zhang Fei said made sense, and this was a public matter. However, he thought that there was no need for Zhang San to know it, so he did not hide it and told Zhang Fei the reason.
It is almost the same as recorded in history books.
At first, Song Shenzong submitted the case to the Hanlin Academy for review, which was still limited to the legal system.
Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were also arguing about the legal system.
It’s just that they all discuss the legal system based on etiquette and law.
The reason why Sima Guang agreed with the deliberations of the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice was because he believed that although Ayun and Wei Ada were not husband and wife in law, they were husband and wife in terms of folk etiquette and law.
Ayun, who was not familiar with the law, must have thought that Wei Ada was her husband before committing the crime.
A husband is the leader of his wife. Ayun's crime was full of malicious intent, so his crime cannot be reduced.
Wang Anshi held the same view as Xu Zun. He believed that Ayun was not full of malice, but was forced into it and was worthy of forgiveness.
The ministers of the Song Dynasty were all geniuses. Since they had all served as county magistrates and prefects in various places, they were all top-notch legal experts.
They began to defend their judgment with various laws and regulations.
However, the ministers in the court had different opinions on this case, and many officials took sides.
When there are more people, the nature of the situation changes.
Since Wang Anshi had just returned to Beijing, he was eager to carry out reforms, so he needed to recruit soldiers and horses. He also saw that this case was a great opportunity for him, so he immediately politicized the case.
A landmark event was the transfer of Xu Zun back to take charge of the Dali Temple.
This is definitely a political event.
Of course, Xu Zun did not tell Zhang Fei the reason for politicizing the case. He only stated the professional opinions of officials in the Ming Dynasty on the case.
But Zhang Fei knew it clearly in his mind. He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who will judge this case then?"
Xu Zun said: "Regarding this point, it has not been decided yet. Most likely, I will be the one to judge it. After all, the government has just let me take charge of the Dali Temple."
Zhang Fei said, "But since I'm trying to overturn a case, shouldn't I choose another official to try it?"
This is the rule, but now Xu Zun has changed departments, so he has reason to continue to try this case.
Xu Zun asked curiously, "Don't you want me to interrogate you?"
Zhang Fei said: "If we can't convince the other party directly, I think it will be difficult to get a result after the trial. We are the weaker party, and dragging it out will definitely be disadvantageous to us. It would be best to have a final say. Then if the opposition officials come to the trial, it will be a one-time thing!"
"You are quite confident." Xu Zun smiled and asked, "Then who do you think is the most suitable person to conduct the trial?"
Zhang Fei said without hesitation: "Grand Scholar Sima."
Xu Zun was stunned and said, "This person is not easy to deal with."
Zhang Fei said: "But if we want to win, we must overcome this hurdle. As the saying goes, those in power are confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see clearly. We cannot let him stand by and watch."
This guy is really brave and resourceful! Xu Zun couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei with new eyes again. This was Bianjing, not Dengzhou. At the same time, he also felt that this was fair. He sent one person and the other party sent one person. If they were all his own people, then others would not be convinced. So he nodded and said, "Okay! I will try my best to get Sima Daxueshi to try this case."
Just then, Rong Bo, the housekeeper of the mansion, came to the door and said, "Master, the guest room has been cleaned up."
"I see."
Xu Zun nodded, and then said to Zhang Fei: "You go back to your room and have a good rest first. I still have some official business to deal with."
"yes."
But Zhang Fei was young after all, so for him, this was not a big deal. It was just a trip on public funds. He sat in the house for a while and felt extremely bored. He had neither a mobile phone nor a computer, so he decided to go out for a walk.
To be honest, Dengzhou really didn't arouse his interest in shopping, but Bianliang gave him a completely different feeling. The customs and culture here were very charming.
After leaving the room, he learned from the servant where the back door was and went towards it.
But just as I got to the back door, I suddenly saw the door open from the outside, and first I heard an unclear voice, "It's still early today, why did you bring me back?"
You can tell from the sound that she is drunk, and a woman.
Then a girl lowered her voice and said, "Hey, young girl! Sister Qian'er, please keep your voice down. The master is back."
"Don't scare me with daddy. Daddy is still in Dengzhou."
"It's true, the master is really back."
As he was speaking, a maidservant came in with a beautiful girl. The girl had rosy cheeks and drunken eyes. She leaned on the maidservant, and her purity revealed a charm.
"ah!"
The maid finally helped the girl over the threshold, and suddenly saw a strange living person standing in front of the door. She screamed in fright.
But the girl was still moving forward, and was frightened by the maid's scream, and immediately bumped into Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei subconsciously hugged the girl and wondered, am I so handsome
When the maid saw that the other person was a stranger, she was so scared that she shouted loudly: "Rascal! There is a rapist!"
Zhang Fei was stunned immediately!
A word flashed through my mind - "scam".
The girl half-closed her eyes and looked around, "Pervert! Where is the pervert?"
As he was looking, he suddenly found a strange face in front of him. He woke up immediately and shouted, "Who are you?"
"I am... .!"
Just as Zhang Fei was about to explain, the girl suddenly realized that he was still hugging her. She was immediately ashamed and angry, and started to struggle, "You lecher, let me go quickly."
Not only did Zhang Fei not let go, but he used his arms even harder to hold the girl tightly, "Don't let go! Don't let go! If you let go, you won't be able to explain it clearly."
The girl was already drunk and dizzy, and had no strength to break free.
When the maid saw this, she rushed forward, punching hard with her fists and shouting for help.
But no matter how her little fists hit him like meteors, Zhang Fei just held him tightly and refused to let go.
"No disrespect."
Just at this moment, a shout was heard.
Zhang Fei looked back and saw Xu Zun coming over with a few servants. He hurriedly said, "My benefactor, you came at the right time. Look, I didn't mean to take advantage of your daughter."
Judging from the address just now, this girl must be Xu Zun’s daughter.
Xu Zun came over and saw Zhang Fei hugging his daughter tightly. He wanted to kill Zhang Fei and said through gritted teeth: "Why don't you let go?"
Zhang Fei said, "I will let go after I finish speaking. My benefactor, please see that Miss Ling's calf is behind him. This fully proves that she threw herself at me. I just caught her with good intentions to prevent her from falling. I didn't want to take advantage of her, and I am certainly not a rapist. As for why Miss Ling threw herself at me, I believe Xu Zhizhou should have smelled alcohol."
In one word, professional.
Unfortunately, Xu Zun was in no mood to listen to this. He was just a father now. With so many people watching, you were still talking nonsense here. He bulged his eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Let go."
“Let it go!”
As soon as Zhang Fei loosened his hand, the girl's body softened and she seemed to fall. Zhang Fei quickly hugged her again. He looked down and saw that the girl leaned against his arms with her head tilted and eyes closed. She said to Xu Zun with tears in her eyes, "Your daughter seems... seems to be asleep."
Xu Zun was on the verge of exploding, and he yelled at the maid, "What are you still standing there for? Help the person back into the house."
"Yes, sir."
The maid hurried forward, glared at Zhang Fei fiercely, and then helped the girl away from his arms.
“Ss ...
Zhang Fei suddenly gasped.
Xu Zun suddenly saw Zhang Fei's face turn purple and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Fei was motionless, holding his breath, his lips trembling as he said, "I was... I was suffocated by the smell of alcohol. Oh, young..." Another painful voice said, "This alcohol smells so good."
Xu Zun glanced at his feet and glared at the maid. The maid quickly helped the girl away. He then asked Zhang Fei, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Fei said with tears in his eyes: "I was planning to go out for a walk to see if there is a chance to be a hero and save the beauty, but I never thought that I would complete the task brilliantly before I even went out. I... I'd better go back and rest."
After saying this, he turned around and limped into the house.
“It’s such a headache!”
Xu Zun closed his eyes and sighed, then instructed Rong Bo beside him, "In the next few days, don't let that girl leave the room, otherwise, I will hold you accountable."
"I obey your command."
