Chapter 539 Let go and do it

Seeing that Zhang Fei was so confident, Yuan Jiang would not refuse.

Although this is not a small matter, but after all, it is the Public Procuratorate who created the problem, and he is only helping to propose a solution. Even if the court rejects his proposal, he will not be affected in any way.

Instead, he was worried that the public prosecutor would fall into this pit.

After communicating with Yuan Jiang, Zhang Fei asked Dagou Kuaima to send a letter to the emperor. He only wrote two letters, one to Zhao Xu and the other to Wang Anshi.

But both letters were sent to the emperor, who then forwarded the letter to Wang Anshi.

Because he knew that Zhao Xu was very eager to eliminate Xixia. At this time, disarmament is a negative behavior. If he does not accept it, there is no need to write to Wang Anshi.

Of course, this is also to show his loyalty and let Zhao Xu know his overall plan.

But Zhang Fei did not write to Sima Guang, because he knew that Sima Guang was too cautious, otherwise he would not agree to that, so there is no need to guess, but the reason why he did not agree is not feasible. Or not, but consider the risks.

Therefore, there is only one way to deal with Sima Guang, and that is to kill first and then play. After the result comes out, if it is a good result, then Sima Guang will complain.

But Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi are both courageous and willing to take risks.

If you send a letter to them, you will get a clear answer, if you agree, you will agree, if you don't agree, you will not agree, and whether you agree or not, it will not be because of hesitation.

If Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi didn't agree, then he wouldn't take the risk.

On the surface, he looks like a stunned young man, but he is still very cautious in his heart, because he is very clear about the separation of politics and law, but the judiciary is to serve politics, and it also needs to be compromised.

When teaching the law of the rule of law, he often mentioned the interests of the country and the monarch, which is to leave a way out for himself. If he compromises at that time, he can use this principle to speak out.

Based on this, politics must still come first.

Therefore, he still has to wait until he has political support before he can decide how to proceed with the case.

He didn't give an answer, and the procuratorate could only stand still.

But this matter has already spread, and everyone is paying attention. Seeing that there has been no movement for a long time, I started to mutter in my heart.

Hezhong Mansion, Shuiyun Pavilion.

Inside the door of a private room, Li Yongji, the supervisor of Yancang, looked outside through the crack of the door, then closed the door, came to the table and sat down.

Sitting at this table were Wei Yingfang, He Chunlin, Cao Yi, and Dutou Fan Meng.

"Half a month has passed, why is there no movement from the procuratorate."

He Chunlin was puzzled.

Li Yongji also looked puzzled and said: "In the beginning, when Chen Guang went to the procuratorate to file a complaint, the common people were all talking about it, but now the common people don't talk about it anymore."

However, Fan Meng laughed and said, "It's normal if there is no movement. If it's for a small soldier to fight against so many officials, I think Su Ziyou is nothing more than that."

Cao Yi waved his hand and said, "Although that is the case, we still have to be careful. After all, Chen Guang is still staying in the procuratorate. This is enough to show that the procuratorate has not given up on the case."

Wei Yingfang wondered: "This case is just a small one after all. If you want to sue, you will sue. If you don't sue, you won't sue. That's why you procrastinate."

Cao Yi frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "In my opinion, they may not consider this case, but the consequences of this case. If they fail, their procuratorate will lose face.

But if it succeeds, it may trigger more people to complain. There are 30 to 3000 forbidden troops on Shaanxi Road, even if there are only two to [-] people, this movement is not small. "

He Chunlin suddenly had an idea: "If that's the case, why don't we force them to go to trial? At present, the most important thing for the imperial court is finances. If the compensation is large, can the imperial court support this public prosecution law?"

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other in blank dismay, all seemed a little hesitant.

Wei Yingfang coughed suddenly, "Forget it, I promised Cai Zhifu before that this matter has nothing to do with us, if Cai Zhifu and the others know that someone is behind this, I'm afraid it will be blamed on us again. In addition, Wang Jinglue and General Zhong have not left yet, so let's not act rashly."

Fan Meng nodded and said: "Wei Tongjuan is right, this matter is still a little dangerous, if there is any accident that involves us all, then what to do. Commander Qin will not Let me go."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and everyone silenced immediately.

Wei Yingfang asked, "Who?"

"Wei Tongpan, it's me."

"Come in."

With a creak, the door opened, but seeing a subordinate quickly walking into the room, he came to Wei Yingfang's side and whispered something in his ear.

"So fast?"

Wei Yingfang was slightly startled.

Cao Yi asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei Yingfang waved his hand first, and after the subordinate official went out, he said to several people: "The imperial edict has come."

"say what?"

Several people immediately looked at Wei Yingfang nervously.

"The officials personally ordered that Lu Shen be promoted to be a judge of Dali Temple, and at the same time, Zhong Er was promoted to know Suizhou."

After he finished speaking, the expressions of the people sitting there became quite dignified.

Although there is no mention of the imperial court, they all know that the imperial court is very sure of the imperial court's judgment, and the key came so quickly, which can't help but make them Alexander!

Wei Yingfang glanced at several people and sighed: "It seems that we still underestimated this imperial court!"

He Chunlin said: "Why don't you take advantage of this case and give it another go? Anyway, it will be the court that will suffer in the end. It will depend on how the court will support this public prosecutor's law."

Wei Yingfang was still hesitant.

Cao Yi suddenly said: "Why not? Let's see if the procuratorate will take action. If he doesn't take action, then let's wait for a while to create public opinion and criticize the public prosecutor's law. If the procuratorate takes action, it is because they deliberately refused to let him." If we are better off, then we will add fuel to the fire, so it will be hard for Zhifu Cai and the others to say anything."

Wei Yingfang nodded slightly, "It's feasible."

Zhao Xu is young and energetic, since this verdict is so in line with his wishes, he will not be too scruples, and hastened to send two edicts to Hezhong Mansion.

However, many civil servants and military generals are still in Hezhong Mansion now. To see if the procuratorate will file a lawsuit in advance, it is unavoidable to be surprised to learn of this.

Is this the efficiency of my Da Song?

You must know that so many officials filed impeachment, and the result was that the order was issued two or three months earlier than he expected, because this is not an emergency and there is room for debate.

How do you know that in less than a month, the imperial edict will come.

This made many people look at the imperial court with admiration.

They are very fortunate that they chose to trust the imperial court at that time.

But Zheng Xie and other scribes were dumbfounded.

I don't know what to say.

In the end, Lu Shen was promoted and directly entered the central government.

But who brought it?

royal court.

This requires another official to give the same judgment. Even if the court accepts it, it is hard to say that he will be promoted so soon, unless it is a great prime minister like Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, rather than a simple judgment.

The authority of the imperial court has directly risen to another level.

But this also caused great panic in the official circles of Hezhong Prefecture.

If Han Qi and Fu Bi came here to rectify the administration, even if it was more ruthless, they would not feel so panic, because this is relatively common.

But the imperial court is another type of government office, not a family, and this is why everyone feels uneasy.

It's not that the imperial court wants to investigate corruption.

This panic further made them need to hug together to keep warm, and in their eyes, the public security, the prosecution and the law were integrated, and the Chen Guang case, which had been slowly falling silent, was once again taken seriously.

With such a great authority in the imperial court, if it is really investigated, something will happen.

But so far, the imperial court does not seem to have any connection with the case. Chen Guang's family is still in the procuratorate.

The procuratorate is directly on the cusp.

This made Chen Qi and Wang Shen deeply dissatisfied.

The limelight was completely taken away by the imperial court, and all the bad things belonged to him.

It's not fair!

"Procurator Su, you have always said that our procuratorate and the imperial court do not belong to each other, so why wait for the imperial court's reply? Judging from the current evidence, we can sue, or we can justify not suing. This is exhausting, yes Our procuratorate is really unfavorable."

Chen Qi complained.

Wang Shen also said: "Chief Prosecutor, this should be stopped, and we should suffer from it. Now the case is intensifying. If we don't make a decision, we may be in a dilemma by then. It won't be right to sue, and it won't be right if we don't sue."

Facing their complaints, Su Zhe said with a calm face: "It is precisely because of this that we should treat it with more caution. If we act hastily, we will only give others excuses, and the gains will outweigh the losses."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, "Although our procuratorate and the imperial court are not under each other's control, this involves military affairs and should not be acted rashly. This is not because we are controlled by the imperial court, but that we must be responsible to the country and the monarch.

I believe that the imperial court is also carefully weighing this matter, and there is also a decree that stipulates that we must make a decision at this time, and you should not be influenced by others. "

He did understand Zhang Fei's delay in responding, his plan was not a trivial matter, it had to be carefully considered, including himself, he didn't care about waiting for a while.

As everyone knows, Zhang Fei is also waiting, and in the process of waiting, he also asked Cai Jing and others to study the case seriously first.

"What are you arguing about?"

Zhang Fei came to the conference room and found that Cai Bian and the other four were arguing red-faced.

Shangguan Jun immediately said: "Teacher, you came just in time, help us judge and see who is right."

Zhang Fei asked in bewilderment, "What's the matter?"

Cai Jingdao: "That's right. Didn't Chen Guang's case involve usury? My second brother and Shangguan thought that the imperial court should promulgate a decree to prohibit usury. However, the students and Dun Li believed that this could not be prohibited. Since the previous court Since then, there has been a law that strictly prohibits usury, and our dynasty also inherited the laws of the previous dynasty, but this cannot be prohibited at all."

Cai Bian argued: "That was before. The teacher said this in class. The reason why he couldn't control it before was because the government has political laws and the people follow private contracts. People like this kind of thing are not willing to go to the government. Go. But now with our public security law, it can naturally be banned.”

Ye Zucha smiled and said, "Cai Er, you may be thinking too simply. When people borrow money, don't they know it's usury? It's not that those big landlords and rich people trick them into borrowing. Isn't that true?" Is there no way, could it be that we just starve to death, if the court expressly prohibits and everyone refuses to borrow money, wouldn’t it harm those who need to borrow money to survive.”

Cai Bian said: "Borrowing usury will ruin your family. What's the difference between early death and late death?"

Shangguan Jun asked Zhang Fei again: "Teacher, what do you think?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "We think what you said is very reasonable. Forbidden, it must be banned, but it must not be banned. This kind of thing has happened since ancient times. The emperor is aware of the danger of usury. If If it can be solved, it has been solved a long time ago. To reduce this situation, we can only provide more livelihoods for the people, there are not many ways.

And what we have to do is to crack down on those who are deceptive, for example, bullying people who are illiterate, and using contracts to defraud people.

In addition, what Cai Jing said just now is correct. If the people want to survive, they have to borrow even the highest interest rate. In fact, it is very difficult for us to do anything about borrowing money.

Therefore, we have to work hard on the issue of repayment. Under legal circumstances, debt repayment is a matter of course. I will formulate strict laws to force them to repay the money, but we must also ensure that the borrower’s family will not be destroyed. "

These words were really like enlightenment, which made them suddenly enlightened.

They have been thinking about how to prohibit usury in terms of borrowing money, because usury occurs when borrowing money, and repaying the money is only the result of fulfillment.

If you are not stuck in the first procedure, it is tantamount to letting usury.

But the problem also lies here. Most people who borrow money are borrowing money for their lives.

However, the reason why they hate usury is that the usury has ruined the families of the people, and the ruin of the family actually happened in the end. If it is for this purpose, it can make a difference in the process of the end.

The law cannot prohibit the people from borrowing usury, but the law gives the people the minimum life protection.

Of course, the reason for protection must be that you have to pay back the money.

"Students are taught!"

The four of them clasped their hands at the same time.

They always surrender to the teacher's words.

At this moment, Li Si came in suddenly, and whispered in Zhang Fei's ear: "Third Brother, there is a letter from Big Dog."

As he spoke, he handed a secret letter to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei took it, took it apart, and saw that there were four words written on it - let go and do it.

Shangguan asked curiously, "Teacher, what's the matter?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, and gave him a look: "Leave your business alone."

As he spoke, he said to the four of them again: "It's just for the sake of the teacher. You four should discuss it carefully. I have something to deal with."

He hurried out the door, and immediately told Li Si: "Mr. Su Xiao, please come here."

"Yes."
