Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 191

Chapter 191

Lu Jiawen, who went down, was very aggrieved, as if a motivated young man had instantly turned into a decadent middle-aged man. Those who heard it were sad, and those who saw him shed tears. The only one who could understand him was Wang Anshi.

However, Wang Hong who came up was actually not much better.

He never dreamed that one day he would sit here and be interrogated by Erbi, whom he hated very much.

What a shame!

He bowed to Zhao Bian expressionlessly.

Although Zhao Bian didn't have a good impression of him, Zhao Bian definitely supported Geng Ming in this case, but Wang Hong is also the magistrate of Chixian County after all, and Zhao Bian could understand Wang Hong's mentality, so he kindly asked him to sit down and let him sit down. Some noodles.

Wang Hong sat on the witness chair in a stable manner, and immediately stared at Zhang Fei with angry eyes.

Facing Wang Hong who was full of momentum, Zhang Fei was not afraid at all, he stood up directly, and rolled up his sleeves by the way, as if he was afraid that others would not know that I was here for revenge.

In fact, his temperament is also very fierce, I will go as you come, and I will repay my kindness, and I will repay my revenge.

Especially in court, you will not be afraid.

Zhang Fei glanced at the copywriting and asked, "As far as I know, Wangzhi County was a Jinshi in the second year of Huangyou (AD 1050)?"

Wang Hong immediately lowered his eyebrows and said: "I am an official, you are a citizen, your attitude is really rude."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shu, Qi Hui, Li Kai and other people who knew Zhang Fei well shook their heads and sighed.

Didn't you just ask for embarrassment by saying this to this kid?

If he knew respect, he wouldn't be standing here.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "In this court, everyone is equal, even if Mr. Han is sitting here, I would ask the same question, so please ask Wang Zhixian to answer my question."

Han Qi on the side directly raised his head, there are so many officials sitting here, you just use the old man to talk about things, are you deceiving the old man for being kind?

Fu Bi on the side glanced secretly at Han Qi, and said in a low voice, "Han Xianggong, please be safe and don't be impatient. What he said just shows Han Xianggong's status in the court."

Han Qi was still upset, and muttered in a low voice, "I don't need a pen to prove my status."

Wang Hong immediately felt Zhang Fei's fierceness firsthand, no matter how ruthless he was, he would not dare to blame Han Qi.

At this time, Zhao Yan suddenly said: "Wangzhi County, please answer Zhang San's question."

You are here to show your authority, so why am I sitting on it?

Wang Hong glanced at Zhao Yan, then nodded reluctantly and said, "Yes."

Zhang Fei said again: "Later, Wang Zhixian went to Hongzhou to be a manager. Because of his good performance, he was transferred to Guangzhou as a judicial officer and joined the army three years later. Sentence, promoted to Kaifeng county magistrate two years ago. I wonder if I made a mistake?"

Wang Hong nodded proudly.

This resume is absolutely remarkable. His Jinshi ranking is not high, so he was transferred far away to work as a manager at the beginning, unlike Su Shi and others, who stayed in the capital to become an official after the exam. The starting point is higher than others. Too much.

Zhang Fei looked around and said: "Many of you are court officials. I believe everyone can know from this resume that Wang Zhixian is definitely a very capable and outstanding magistrate. Otherwise, he would not be so He will soon be promoted to Kaifeng county magistrate. Many officials may not be able to enter Tokyo for the rest of their lives."

They are all knowledgeable people, of course they know what this resume represents, but the question is, didn't you come here for revenge?

Why did you still film it?

The officials present all looked blank.

Even the people at the gate were a little confused.

This and the posture of the needle point facing the wheat awn just now are really shocking!

Qian Yi also asked in a low voice, "What does he want to do?"

Fan Chunren frowned and said uncertainly: "Let's see."

Zhang Fei asked Wang Hong again: "Wang magistrate, from the manager to the judiciary, to the county magistrate, to the judge, you must have very rich experience in solving cases, right?"

Wang Hong nodded.

Zhang Fei said: "I don't know if Wang Zhi County can remember, how many cases have been closed?"

Wang Hong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Maybe you remember? Are there hundreds of cases?"

Wang Hongdao: "It should be more than that."

"Thank you!"

Zhang Fei sat down and said to Zhao Bian, "I'm done asking."

Zhao Yan was stunned.

Is that the end of the question?

Where are you headed?

This series of questions is tantamount to counting Wang Hong's achievements!

The officials present were all stunned.

Even Cao Dongdong at the door said: "Not good! That boy Zhang San must have taken the money from the other side. No, maybe he is a widow."

Ma Xiaoyi scratched his head and asked, "Brother, how do you know?"

Cao Dongdong said: "Are you stupid? You can't even tell. He has been praising Wang Hong all the time!"

Ma Xiaoyi shook his head and said, "I don't believe that third brother is such a person."

Cao Dongdong snorted, "Then let's wait and see."

Qian Wei also saw the trick, and said: "He asked this to prove that Wang Hong has rich experience and is familiar with the judiciary, so there is no possibility of misjudgment. It seems that he has already guessed that we want to sentence Wang Hong to wrong. human crime."

yes!This is also a controversial issue, but I never thought of exonerating Wang Hong from this point. It seems that I am not thoughtful enough for him.Fan Chunren smiled and said, "But we didn't intend to let Wang Hong pretend to be stupid."

As a novice, he didn't know how powerful it was to pretend to be stupid. In the courtroom, it was all about evidence, and the most difficult thing to prove was subjective judgment.

Therefore, Zhang Fei did not hesitate to spend a lot of time to prove that Wang Hong has rich experience in the judicial field, and there is no misjudgment due to lack of ability in facing this kind of case.

He stood up and bowed to Wang Hong first, in fact, he was insinuating Zhang Fei, everyone should be equal in court, but basic etiquette is still required, which has nothing to do with equality.

Wang Hong understood, got up and returned a salute.

Quality!

Xu Zhiqian smiled slyly: "They are mocking you!"

Zhang Fei said disdainfully: "These officials are really narrow-minded."

He also heard Fan Chunren ask: "Excuse me, magistrate Wang, what were you doing when the case happened?"

Wang Hongdao: "I was busy paying taxes at the time."

Fan Chunren pretended to have just reacted, "That's right, now is the time to collect the summer tax. I heard that calling for tax payment is a very cumbersome thing."

Wang Hong nodded: "Yes, especially in Kaifeng County, because Kaifeng County has a large population and is also a place in the capital city. The official duties of urging taxes are very cumbersome. These days, I almost return home in the middle of the night."

Fan Chunren nodded, and asked again: "I wonder if this will affect Wangzhi County's decision?"

Wang Hong nodded and said: "Of course, I usually wait for a while to deal with non-major criminal cases, and in most counties in our country, due to the lack of manpower in the government, civil lawsuits are stopped at this time, and there are usually backlogs. Come and deal with it in winter."

As he spoke, he sighed, "Actually, this lawsuit has already affected Kaifeng County's collection duties. If it is delayed for a few days, I hope the imperial court will understand it."

"Don't worry, Wangzhi County, the imperial court will understand."

Fan Chunren comforted him a bit, and then asked: "With such a busy schedule, has Wang Zhi County seriously examined Geng Ming's pleadings?"

Wang Hong sighed: "No!"

Zhang Fei frowned when he heard that, and said to Xu Zhiqian: "They are going to give up Wei Yushan!"

Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "It seems so."

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Damn it, this really caught me off guard."

Xu Zhiqian said: "It's not that serious."

"Originally no, anyway, I killed together. But..." Zhang Fei said depressedly: "But you forgot, that King Chang came to look for me, and now they all voluntarily give up Wei Yushan, which means I still have to help Wei Yushan's defense, what is this? Hurry up and find me Wei Yushan's copy. I really didn't expect them to be so disrespectful."

"Oh."

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly searched for it.

It can only be said that they did not make sufficient preparations this time, nor did they start with the personalities of Fan Chunren and Qian Yi.

Fan Chunren knew that Geng Ming must have grievances, so he never planned to argue for Wei Yushan, he even planned to step on it.

In fact, helping Wang Hong was already hovering at their bottom line. Fan Chunren also struggled for a long time, whether to help or not, he didn't say anything at first, but it was later when it developed into a judicial and administrative struggle that he found an excuse for himself to stand up .

But he didn't want to help Wang Hong fight for innocence, but he hoped to be convicted of inhumane crime.

For this crime, it depends on how the court will punish it.

It can be light or heavy.

Fan Chunren thought very clearly that he could compete with Zhang Fei again, while retaining the reason to punish Wang Hong.

The people sitting there didn't pay attention to their little movements, they all quietly listened to Fan Chunren's interrogation.

"No?" Fan Chunren was surprised: "This is a crime of dereliction of duty! Wang Zhixian has been an official for many years, how could he make such a hasty mistake, or is there something else hidden in it?"

Wang Hongdao: "It's all because Er Bi of the Bianjing Law Firm used to calculate taxes under the guise of calculating taxes and wanted to benefit the people, so that it caused a lot of trouble for our Kaifeng County and delayed our county government a lot of work.

At that time, I was so busy that I was dizzy, and I saw that this case happened three years ago, and it was very difficult to investigate. If I insisted on investigating this case, I would definitely delay paying taxes, and I might not be able to find out clearly. .As a county magistrate, many things are prioritized, so I overruled the judgment of the Supreme Court that day. "

Many officials present nodded their heads, including Han Qi and Fu Bi.

They all understood Wang Hong's approach.

Of course, the country's grand plans and personal innocence must be prioritized.

Fan Chunren asked again: "I don't know if the magistrate of Wang County has thought that things will happen to this point?"

Wang Hong shook his head and sighed bitterly: "I didn't expect that at all."

Fan Chunren asked: "Give Wang Zhi County another chance, how will Wang Zhi County choose?"

As he said that, he secretly glanced at Zhang Fei, as if he was guarding against the guy shouting "objection", but seeing that Zhang Fei was not listening at all, he was holding a copy and examining it solemnly.

I was overjoyed, it seemed that he was out of order.

How could he have imagined that what Zhang Fei is worrying about now is how to convict Wei Yushan. He is too ignorant of martial arts here, so he just gave up on him. Isn't Wei Yushan the meat on the chopping board? If he is not careful, he may be exiled .

Where did Wang Hong know the art of objection? He didn't pay attention to Zhang Fei at all, and replied firmly: "Although I didn't expect the matter to develop to this point, even if I were given another chance, I would choose to reject it, because I know What's more important."

The words are really righteous and righteous.

"I'm done asking."

Fan Chunren bowed again, then sat down.
