What
And give him tea
Didn’t you see that this guy called us pigs again and labeled us as unfilial descendants
Many jurors were deeply dissatisfied with what Wang Anshi did.
This guy is a traitor among the bureaucrats!
Seeing how miserable we are, you actually serve tea to this guy
This is outrageous.
When Wang Anshi encountered the old fox Sima Guang, he had no choice but to quickly take a cup of tea and cover half of his face.
Can't see!
can not hear!
... ...
Tea is served.
Xu Zhiqian actively poured tea for Zhang Fei.
The debate just now was so exciting that she was very excited. At this moment, she was really willing to serve Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei muttered, "Will it be poisonous?"
Xu Zhiqian's hands trembled when she heard this, and a few drops of liquid spilled out. She lowered her voice and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Fei said: "Look at their eyes, they seem to want to eat me alive, what if they poison me?"
The atmosphere was already tense. Xu Zhiqian secretly glanced at Liu Shu and other officials, and was immediately infected by Zhang Fei's conspiracy theory. She whispered again, "Why don't I try it first?"
She was completely immersed in the lawsuit and didn't think about anything else but winning the lawsuit, so Zhang Fei was determined not to fall, just like protecting the commander on the battlefield.
Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian with deep emotion.
Xu Zhiqian also reacted, her pretty face immediately blushed, and she said angrily: "This is all your fault. Why did you want tea? Now that the tea is here, what will they think if you don't drink it?"
"I was just trying to scare you, but you actually believed it."
Zhang Fei laughed, picked up the cup of tea, drank it all in one gulp, and smacked his lips, "I feel better."
Xu Zhiqian stamped her feet lightly and said, "Are you still in the mood to joke at this time?"
Zhang Fei said: "Don't you see that I have already won? The next step is to humiliate them."
Hey! You guys are still chatting.
Wang Anshi's eyes lit up immediately, thinking that this was his chance. But just as he opened his mouth, Sima Guang scolded him, "If you want to chat, go home and chat. This is the Dali Temple, and we won't tolerate your insolence."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Zhang Fei nodded hurriedly.
Wang Anshi glanced at Sima Guang in frustration and whispered, "You want to steal this too?"
He also wanted to show that he was not a traitor!
Sima Guang looked innocent: "Hey, young man! I didn't know what you were going to say. I was just afraid that you couldn't bear it. Don't you see that everyone is very dissatisfied with this? This kind of behavior must be stopped immediately."
Wang Anshi snorted.
"About this case..."
Zhang Fei looked at the process and said, "I have prepared some examples."
Xu Zhiqian immediately stood up and handed each juror a case file.
Zhang Fei said: "What you have now is a case of a cow killing a person in Chuzhou in the fifth year of the Qingli period. The process of this case is very simple. It tells the story of a local tenant farmer who has always been very diligent in plowing the land and herding cattle for his employer. One day, the ox suddenly went crazy and ran to the hillside. The tenant farmer desperately grabbed the ox, and as a result, the man and the ox rolled down the hillside together and both died."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked at the case file in front of him again. "Then the employer sued the tenant farmer for killing his oxen and sought compensation. Initially, the local county government sentenced the tenant farmer to pay compensation, but the tenant farmer's family was dissatisfied and continued to appeal. In the end, the case was brought to the prefecture of Chuzhou. It was personally heard by Mr. Ouyang, who was the prefect of Chuzhou at the time.
As a result, Ouyang Xianggong ordered the employer to pay 30 guan as compensation to the tenant farmer and to provide for his funeral. The reason given by Ouyang Xianggong was that the country should also provide pensions for soldiers who died on the battlefield. The tenant farmer lost his life while working for the employer, so the employer was ordered to pay compensation.
The Mr. Ouyang he mentioned was Ouyang Xiu.
Zhang Fei was very knowledgeable about the ancient work injury system because he had studied it. It originated from the Northern Song Dynasty and was one of the contents of Wang Anshi's reform.
But it hasn't appeared yet.
However, some states have also had precedents on work-related injuries.
It is impossible for Wang Anshi to imagine the new law out of thin air. He must have formulated the new law based on some cases.
Lü Gongzhu was familiar with this case and had studied it before, so he asked, "What does this have to do with this case?"
Zhang Fei did not answer but asked, "I wonder if Magistrate Lu thinks that Mr. Ouyang's judgment is reasonable?"
Lu Gong nodded and said, "It makes perfect sense."
Zhang Fei looked around at everyone again, "Do you think this sentence is wrong?"
Everyone nodded involuntarily, indicating that there was no problem.
Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian again.
Xu Zhiqian stood up again and handed them a case file.
Liu Shu had never seen a lawsuit like this before, and said impatiently: "Just tell me what you want to say, why bother making it so mysterious?"
It's annoying just looking at it.
Zhang Fei replied: "Words are not enough."
"... ... ?"
Liu Shu was speechless. He flipped through the case file and saw that it contained the whole story of Shi Dalang's case.
Zhang Fei coughed and said, "Judges, do you feel a little familiar?"
Sima Guang asked, "What do you want to say?"
Zhang Fei said: "You may want to compare the two files."
Everyone did as he was told and suddenly everything became clear.
Zhang Fei glanced around and said with a smile, "I believe everyone has discovered the problem. The two cases only have the names changed and the farmland replaced with escort. Other than that, there is no difference. However, the results they face are completely opposite."
"You are changing the concept and playing with the words."
Qi Hui said: "The two things cannot be confused."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "The only difference between the two things is that the employer still has to pay the tenant farmers, but the court does not need to pay any compensation to the yamen. It is mandatory, compulsory and free of charge."
Qi Hui said, well...!
Is it really okay to talk about exploitation so bluntly
Zhang Fei added: "It's a pity that Mr. Ouyang is not in the court at the moment, otherwise, I really want to hear Mr. Ouyang's opinion on this case."
Liu Shu said: "According to what the canal official said, it was Shi Dalang who insisted on taking the river route, which led to this disaster."
Zhang Fei said: "Since ancient times, there have been countless incompetent generals, but even they did not push the responsibility of losing the battle to the soldiers below. If the government officials can make the decision, then what is the role of the transport officials
But this is not what we want to argue about today. Investigation is the government's job. We want to see whether this case violates our ancestral laws."
Having said that, he looked at Xu Zhiqian again.
Xu Zhiqian stood up again and handed everyone a case file.
How much did he prepare
drunk!
These gentlemen are really drunk!
They thought they were very thin, but when they compared themselves with Zhang Fei, they found out that theirs were very thick.
After Xu Zhiqian came back and sat beside him, Zhang Fei said, "What you have seen now are the discussions of the ministers since the reign of Emperor Renzong until now.
For example, Han Xianggong, the current three-dynasty veteran. "
Han Qi, who was sitting in the corner, felt extremely surprised. Oh my god, they are actually talking about me.
It's like reading an online article and suddenly seeing yourself playing a minor role in it, and even a positive character. The feeling of surprise is indescribable!
Zhang Fei really didn't know Han Qi was there, but Han Qi had also made some minor adjustments to the corvée law. He read the document and said, "Han Xianggong once said, 'The suffering of the people in the prefectures and counties is no greater than that of the head of the village. Some of them even have their mothers remarry, their relatives live apart, some give up their land to others to avoid being demoted, and some die as single men.' He also said, 'The rich have plenty of rest, while the poor are ruined one after another.'"
Han Qi stroked his beard and tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his mouth.
This kid has a future.
Fu Bi, who was standing aside, glanced at Han Qi secretly and smiled secretly without saying anything.
He knew that Han Qi was more susceptible to tricks.
The jurors all knew that Han Qi was here and could only nod in agreement.
Speaking objectively, Han Qi's words indeed vividly depict the suffering that the yamen runners brought to the people.
It is indeed very, very sad.
Zhang Fei added: "There are also some public security problems caused by the Yaqian Yi. There are countless scattered families and deaths. According to records, there are 32 cases of encirclement and suppression of bandits, all of which are related to the Yaqian Yi. This campaign forced the people to become bandits, which is a great hidden danger to the country."
Sima Guang just glanced at it and didn't look at it anymore.
He could really recite these things by heart; after all, he was the man who wrote Zizhi Tongjian.
Zhang Fei added: "Whether it was during the reign of Emperor Renzong or during the reign of the previous emperor, almost everyone in the government and the public reached a consensus that the Yaqian Yi was a bad policy. I wonder if the judges agree?"
There was silence.
This is not only the consensus during the Renzong period, but also the consensus of the government and the public today. Sima Guang also believes that this is a serious problem.
But there is no way to solve it.
Everyone knew what Zhang Fei was going to say next, but they couldn't stop him and could only watch him perform.
Zhang Fei waited for a while, and seeing no one answering, he said, "Then the question is, this is a bad policy that has existed for decades, but it is still being implemented without any improvement. And the laws of our ancestors require policies to prevent corruption, so does this case violate the laws of our ancestors?"
This ancestral law is to prevent the occurrence of bad policies, but these bad policies have existed for decades. This should be regarded as breaking the law knowingly, which is an even more serious crime.
Lu Hui coughed and said with a weak voice: "You are wrong. You have written it clearly. Many important ministers have written letters on this matter, and the court has also made some corrections."
He also felt a little aggrieved, and we wanted to defend ourselves, but... but we couldn't!
Zhang Fei said: "I am only defending Shi Erlang. As for the Shi family, I don't see any improvement. Let's see how the court handles this case.
A canal official, with a few words, without any investigation, confiscated Shi's family property, and immediately demoted his brother and wife to official slaves. Do you really respect the laws of our ancestors? The laws of our ancestors are to prevent corruption, but you are condoning corruption and doing the opposite. "
If official silver was lost and not replaced, many officials would be held accountable. Therefore, when something happened, they would get the money first to ensure that they did not lose money, and then talk about justice.
Liu Shu was so angry that he said, "This national affair is not as simple as you think."
Zhang Fei said: "For decades, the bad policies have remained the same without any improvement. I am just an ordinary citizen and I dare not speculate whether the ministers in the court are incompetent, but... how should I understand this problem?"
Liu Shu blew his beard and glared, "Who are you calling incompetent?"
This is a personal attack.
Zhang Fei said: "If you have the ability but don't take measures to prevent corruption, then you are committing a crime knowingly. This intention is even more incomprehensible to ordinary people."
What do you mean? If you keep talking like this, I will be plotting to usurp the throne!
Liu Shu could not help but look at Sima Guang with a dejected expression.
Big brother!
We are visible again
Otherwise, let’s retreat first!
Jurors such as Lu Hui and Qi Hui also gradually felt tired.
They are all officials and have many concerns. They have to say some things that are hard to express. At the same time, they have to bear the responsibility for the bad policies because they enjoy high positions and generous salaries.
At this point in the lawsuit, they already felt that they had no chance of winning, and that continuing the fight would only bring humiliation to themselves with nothing to gain.
Fortunately, they can cheat.
This is their disadvantage, but also their advantage.
I can unplug the network cable.
You can’t imagine that!
Sima Guang understood what he meant and couldn't help but look at Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi whispered, "I can continue the trial."
Sima Guang sighed, "You have no shame, but we do! Let's stop here for now!"
The war situation was so tragic that the court had lost all face. Any further argument would be purely humiliating.
“… … !”
Wang Anshi laughed and said, "You want to be a good person, but you want to be a bad person. You are really a mean person."
Sima Guang said generously: "Then you can be the good man."
Wang Anshi said: "I didn't admit defeat."
"Then I'll tell you."
"It's not the first time you've run away anyway."
“… … .!”
Sima Guang was too lazy to argue with him and coughed: "This case is very complicated and it also involves the laws of our ancestors. I am afraid that it will not be clear in one day. I see that you are all tired. I will stop here today. What do you think?"
Zhang Fei suddenly asked Xu Zhiqian: "Madam Xu, do you have anything else to add?"
When these words were spoken, the officials were furious.
This is truly blatant humiliation.
The key point is that Sima Guang was not asking you!
Xu Zhiqian's face turned red, how could she dare to say anything
"Adjourn!"
Sima Guang was too lazy to pay attention to him.
