Chapter 442 Tax War (6)
Chapter 442 Tax War ([-])
As for why Zhang Fei wanted to defend Zhao Wenzheng, there can be one sentence to explain why Zhang Fei gave too much.
One defense, [-] guan!
Even if you lose, you have to pay [-] guan.
This is even more delicious than usury!
Why can Li Guozhong and the others be busy with these powerful people, but Zhang Fei can't?
Don't pick up money on the ground?
People in the market actually understand why Zhang Fei wants to accept this lawsuit.
But almost no one in the DPRK thinks this way. In their eyes, it is a change in the situation. In the eyes of all officials, this is instigated by someone.
And this man is the emperor.
Wang Anshi also thinks so, but the difference is that others think that the emperor sent Zhang Fei to protect the clan, while Wang Anshi thinks that the emperor thinks that the hole is not big enough and needs to dig a little more.
This is not to say that Wang Anshi's wisdom in this area is also very outstanding. In fact, he is not bad. It's not that he can't understand many things, but for him, there is no need to understand too much, because he insists on his own ideas very much. You see, he has to do that too, he doesn't have a choice.
But it doesn't mean that he is stronger than Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others in this respect.
It's just because Zhao Xu had talked to Wang Anshi about the clan issue before, and he wanted to reform it. He knew that the emperor would never add some obstacles to the reform for the sake of the clan. This is completely impossible, so there must be something wrong with it.
Based on this, it is easy to understand why this is the case.
But his old opponent, Sima Guang, didn't think of this at all. It's normal for the emperor to protect his relatives. If the emperor doesn't protect them, then they don't need to pay attention to the case.
Unlike Wang Anshi who was calm and composed, Sima Guang went directly to Zhang Fei.
In his opinion, this is simply outrageous.
They tried their best to fight against you, but in the end, you jumped right back.
You must know that this case is not only about the new law, but also about his public security law.
"You kid is short of this money?"
When Sima Guang saw Zhang Fei, he was like a bastard, and directly slammed Zhang Fei's face.
He still has some requirements for Zhang Fei, you can make money, but this kind of money must never be earned, this is a bit like Xu Zhiqian.
Zhang Fei hurriedly took a step back, "Scholar Sima, this is really a lot of money, I... I am also very short."
Sima Guang said: "That is to say, if someone kills and sets fire, please go and defend him, as long as you give more, you will agree."
"of course."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Sima Guang frowned, "What did you say?"
Without waiting for Zhang Fei to answer, he stomped his feet fiercely, "You are so confused! You have gained a reputation with great difficulty by relying on the rule of law, and your future is boundless. For this mere [-] crowns, you let it all be ruined. Once, it’s really short-sighted.”
But speaking, he didn't think Zhang Fei was a short-sighted person, his expression changed, and he asked again: "Did someone force you to do this?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly shook his head and said, "No."
"I do not believe!"
"Uh."
Facing Sima Luyu, Zhang Fei also had a tight headache, and stretched out his hand, "Scholar Sima, please sit down. Let me explain to you."
Sima Guang believed that this was arranged by the emperor, and Zhang Fei had no choice but to take a look at him, and then sat down.
Zhang Fei also sat down, and said: "The main reason I took this lawsuit is because the other party can afford the price. I have no regrets. On the contrary, Bachelor Sima just said that, which is against the spirit of the law. .”
Sima Guang was dumbfounded when he heard this, do you think I violated the spirit of the law?Immediately blowing his beard and staring, he pointed at Zhang Fei: "You tell me, what's wrong with this old man?"
Zhang Fei said: "Because Bachelor Sima, you didn't treat this matter fairly, you are biased, and the true meaning of the law is to pursue fairness and justice?"
"The old man is prejudiced?"
"of course."
Zhang Fei nodded: "So far, the procuratorate has only prosecuted, and the imperial court has not issued a verdict, so Governor Zhao may be wronged, or even Governor Zhao is a loyal minister.
But according to what Bachelor Sima said just now, it is obvious that Governor Zhao has been regarded as a guilty person. Isn't this prejudice?If Bachelor Sima came to try, I am afraid that there is no need for a trial, and he can be sentenced directly. "
Sima Guang was slightly embarrassed, and coughed: "The procuratorate has solid evidence!"
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Since that's the case, why is Bachelor Sima worried?"
Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, then snorted, "I'm worried that you'll use the trick of turning black and white again to exonerate Governor Zhao. In the case of Ayun, the evidence was solid, but you were the one who exonerated her."
It seems that this hurdle is really impossible to pass.Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima's words are wrong. I'm just defending. The final verdict is for Bachelor Sima. If it's unfair, it's also unfair for Bachelor Sima. In the end, I don't have the right to judge. What I say, the presiding judge doesn't have to say." Listen, if the presiding officer is impartial and accepts my argument, it's not fair."
Regarding Ayun's case, Sima Guang was not convinced, but he was already willing to admit defeat, waved his hand and said, "I didn't come here today to talk to you about that."
"Do not."
Zhang Fei suddenly became more serious, "Let's clarify this matter first."
Sima Guang said: "You didn't know how you won the Ayun case back then? You used filial piety to coerce the old man, but Ayun definitely wanted to kill Wei Ada. It's just you and me here. You can't tell a lie."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about the result, but that I defended Ayun at that time, was there anything wrong?"
Sima Guang frowned.
Zhang Fei continued: "If I, as Erbi, can't defend a suspect, then what is the point of the whole public prosecutor's law? What does the judge say? What does the procuratorate say? Of course, my father-in-law is impartial and clear-cut. , It is impossible for him to wrong people, but if Wang Hong, Wang Wenshan and others are sitting on it, will Bachelor Sima still trust the prosecution of the procuratorate?
Sima Guang remained silent.
Zhang Fei waited for a while, then continued: "If Bachelor Sima doesn't trust him, it means that Bachelor Sima agrees only with individuals, not with the judiciary.
However, facts have proved that it is impossible for Bachelor Sima to make every official's moral character very high, so the public security law is needed to stop or reduce unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.
The concept of the law of the rule of law is to defend the legitimate rights and interests of individuals. Righteousness is only related to rights and interests, and has nothing to do with people. Whether it is a good person or a bad person, his legitimate rights and interests must be protected. "
Sima Guang is ashamed of his accomplishments in law studies, everyone is convinced of this, Zhang Fei has established schools, if you can't do it, don't compete with him.He said directly: "The old man is not the chief judge, why can't he judge subjectively, why can't he be biased? And the duty of the old man is to make the best use of his talents. Of course I see people coming. I am determined to judge this immoral person." Need not."
Anxious!Anxious!This old man is in a hurry!Zhang Fei said embarrassingly, "I mean, I'm not wrong either."
Sima Guang chuckled: "You said this to me, not to yourself. I'm afraid you know better than I do whether Governor Zhao is guilty or not. You are observing the law, and I am Guanren, then do I want to ask clearly?"
Hold!The old man got around it.I have to explain this clearly, but I can't make him aware of the official's intentions.Zhang Fei thought for a while, and said: "It is because I know very well that I accepted this lawsuit."
Sima Guang asked: "Why? Have you ever considered that this will destroy the people's trust in the public security system and the tax exemption, which is very detrimental to the country and the people."
Zhang Fei said: "First of all, I don't think this will destroy the trust of the public prosecutor's law. On the contrary, it will make more people trust the public prosecutor's law. The law is the law, and it is the same for everyone, whether you are rich or poor."
Sima Guang's expression changed slightly.
He knew that Zhang Fei was not referring to ordinary people, but dignitaries.
The public security law can't create a sense of killing the rich and helping the poor for the powerful. After all, the power is in their hands.
I heard Zhang Fei continue to say: "Secondly, although I helped Ayun win the lawsuit, the imperial court has also amended many laws and regulations, making our court laws more perfect, and to a certain extent, we can prevent such situations. If it happens again, it will be more beneficial to the country and the people. Only when we stumble will we learn a lesson.
Finally, the key to why official land is constantly being invaded by people and why private salt is constantly flooding is that the court did not face up to this problem. I think this is a good opportunity. "
Sima Guang's expression softened a little, and he asked again: "What about the exemption tax?"
Zhang Fei said: "Governor Zhao spent [-] yuan to invite me, which has nothing to do with exemption tax."
Sima Guang asked again: "Then you are sure of victory?"
Zhang Fei shook his head, "To be honest with Bachelor Sima, there really isn't one, otherwise, I wouldn't just ask for such a small amount of money, but this lawsuit is definitely worth fighting."
Procuratorate.
"If he and Zhang San can win this lawsuit, then I, Chen Bing, will resign immediately and return to my hometown."
But I saw a young prosecutor speaking loudly.
"I also resigned and went home. In my opinion, that Zhang San must have taken advantage of Governor Zhao's emergency to go to the doctor in order to make a fortune. I heard that even if he loses, he can still earn [-] yuan."
"Don't speak wild words."
But Xu Zun came in.
A group of prosecutors immediately stood up and saluted.
Xu Zun came to the seat and sat down, "Zhang San is my son-in-law, I know him very well, if he is not sure, it is absolutely impossible for him to accept this lawsuit."
He also thought of it, it was very likely that Zhang Fei had planned it long ago, and Zhang Fei half-jokingly said before that he would fight him a few tricks.
Chen Bing, who just swore the oath, asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, since Zhang San is your son-in-law, why does he want to..."
Xu Zundao: "Although he is my son-in-law, the firm is his business. It is not illegal for him to accept this lawsuit. I have no right to interfere."
Speaking of this, he sighed, "Just to avoid suspicion, I can no longer participate in this case. From today onwards, I will hand over full authority to Su's prosecution."
"The subordinate obeys the order."
Su Zhe bowed his hands and said again: "But the evidence in this case is solid, he...he has no possibility of winning at all, unless!"
Xu Zun knew what he wanted to say, and said: "We have just received the government order from above. The officials have adopted the suggestion of Bachelor Sima and the others. It will be handed over to Kaifeng Prefecture for trial, and Zeng Zhifu will be the presiding judge. Based on my opinion of Zeng Zhifu I understand that there is absolutely no way for him to bend the law for personal gain."
Su Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. The imperial court had not held a court session before, which made him suspicious. He was afraid that Lu Jiawen would favor Zhang Fei in court.
Chen Bing said again: "If this is the case, Zhang San cannot have a chance."
"Don't think so."
Xu Zundao: "People who thought this way in the past have all lost to him."
Su Zhe asked: "Based on Xu's understanding of him, how did he fight this lawsuit?"
Although Xu Zun and Zhang Fei are husband-in-law, the people in the procuratorate are still convinced of Xu Zun, and no one would think that Xu Zun would engage in malpractice for personal gain.
Xu Zun thought for a while and said: "I have seen how he prepared it with my own eyes. I think he may attack the lack of official land and salt administration. As we all know, whether it is occupying official land or selling private salt, it is not very serious It is a strange thing, it can be seen that there are problems with these laws, and he may start from this aspect."
Qi Ji said: "Even if there are problems, we rely on express regulations. It is illegal to sell private salt, and it is illegal to invade official land. No matter what problems exist, what Governor Zhao does is illegal. Unless, he Don’t blame the public, come to exonerate Governor Zhao.”
"D?"
Xu Zun shook his head, "I dare not say that there is no possibility, but I don't think it is very likely."
Su Zhe nodded and said: "The imperial court has convicted Xu Yu, Qin Biao and others before. If this law does not blame the public, there is no way to talk about it. I also think it is unlikely. The key is that there is no such illegal act. People dare to do it openly, but they still do it secretly. If there is no tax department, it will be difficult for us to find out the evidence."
Qi Ji wondered, "Then why did he bring this lawsuit?"
Xu Zun shook his head and said, "I haven't thought of this for the time being, but you can't ignore the details of the regulations, as well as the bad governance of the official land and salt, and at the same time, you must also take into account the overall situation, just like the law of the ancestors."
"Your officer will remember."
Su Zhe frowned. Although he lost the previous lawsuit, he didn't care too much about it, but he didn't want to lose this lawsuit. Fei took over this lawsuit, which really brought him a lot of pressure!
However, the emperor suddenly adopted Sima Guang's suggestion and agreed to transfer the case to Kaifeng for trial.
This not only did not quell the anger, but made it even worse.
Why did you go before? Now that Zhao Wenzheng invited Zhang San to come out, you immediately nodded.
You clearly want to protect the clan!
How shameless!
But the problem is, they have no reason to blame the emperor.
On the surface, the emperor did not show favoritism. He did not use his power to influence the case. At that time, the imperial court believed that the case was complicated, so it was too late to open the court.
Afterwards, you said that you would transfer it to Kaifeng Mansion, and I finally agreed!
Can't you agree later?
As for inviting Zhang Fei, that's Zhao Wenzheng's authority.
According to the rules and procedures, this is also allowed.
The officials can only increase their support to the procuratorate and the Kaifeng government. Although the emperor clearly wants to protect the clan, don't be afraid. Not only that, we have to convict Zhao Wenzheng.
It can be seen that they were also flustered. After all, no one dared to question Zhang Fei's ability to fight the lawsuit.
Even the Xu family and the Qin family felt very regretful, we are so stupid, why didn't we think of asking Zhang Fei for help.
Since there are no more invitations, there can be no survivors on this ship, and they must all die, otherwise, it would be too unfair.
The pressure immediately came to Kaifeng Mansion again.
"I knew it, I knew it, once that guy puts on the green robe, it's sure to be a bad thing. Here we go again! Here we go again!"
Li Kai was really mourning his concubine, shaking his head, as if possessed by a demon, talking non-stop.
Zeng Gong couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "Why are you panicking, based on the current evidence from the procuratorate, it is impossible for him to win this case."
"That's it, that's it." Li Kai suddenly danced excitedly.
Zeng Gong wondered, "What is this?"
"That's the scariest thing."
Li Kaidao: "When Lu Xianggong was here, he was deeply disturbed by it. We all thought that this lawsuit could not be won, but in the end, you still had to judge him to win. There is really nothing more useless than this in this world."
Zeng Gong asked, "Why?"
Li Kai sighed: "I don't know how to explain it, so I just went to burn incense and pray for blessings before. I hope that guy won't come to us, but I still haven't escaped this evil relationship!"
"Nie Yuan?"
This became more and more mysterious, and Zeng Gong became confused.
Li Kaisha said: "The prefect Zeng didn't know something. When that guy first arrived in Bianjing, he spent more time in our Kaifeng mansion than in his house!"
Having said that, he suddenly looked at Zeng Gong, "So that's how it is! That's how it is!"
Zeng Gong felt terrified when he saw him, and asked again: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Li Kaidao: "Actually, the first few lawsuits should not have come to our Kaifeng mansion, but Lu Xianggong didn't believe in evil, so he had to go to trial. As a result, the trial would be endless until he left office.
Since you took office, Zhifu Zeng, he hasn't been here again, until Zhifu Zeng said he didn't believe it last time, and wanted to see his methods, and the results immediately worked. "
Zeng Gong was really amused by Li Kai, and said angrily and funnyly: "Okay! Okay! Don't think about it here, it is the responsibility of our Kaifeng mansion to try cases, and he is Erbi. I often meet him, and I don't care about it. Nothing surprising."
Li Kai sighed, "Whether the prefect Zeng believes it or not, anyway, the prefect Zeng will be able to understand why everyone in Kaifeng mansion hates that kid from top to bottom, even the sweepers."
Zeng Gong asked curiously again: "Why do sweepers hate him?"
Li Kaidao: "He will definitely attract a large group of people to watch the trial. Can those who sweep the floor not hate him?"
".!"
Zeng Gong chuckled, and said: "You said that, I really want to see and see. You hurry up and send people to the procuratorate and let them act faster. I can't wait."
