Chapter 107 Breaking the Heavens

Seeing Huang Gui's expression, the cell boss was really glad he didn't beat him down.

Quickly untie this kid and send him away!

If you can't play well next time, don't send it here.

Save everyone embarrassment.

"Xiaomin has met Lu Zhifu, and Li Tong judges."

When he came to the back hall of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhang Fei wrote to Lu Gong respectfully, and Li Kaixing saluted him.

Lu Gong immediately glared at each other, "Zhang San, are you full and have nothing to do, and you intend to use us for entertainment?"

But the tone is full of helplessness.

"Young people don't dare." Zhang Fei said truthfully.

"Don't you dare?"

Lu Gong hesitated, stood up, pointed at Zhang Fei and said, "I know you want to complain about your lovely wife, so you can just discuss the matter, and it's not the first time you have complained. But you just want to be different. , sensationalize the public, and sue the court, even a lunatic can't do such a thing."

Zhang Fei reasoned and said: "I am not only for my wife, I am also for myself, because I may also suffer from this. In addition, does the prefect Lu think that the court is really not at fault in this matter? Or is it that the prefect Lu thinks , even if the imperial court is at fault, it should not be said by the common people. This is the business of the ministers. But the problem is, if your ministers procrastinate for a day, countless people will suffer. Why can't the magistrate be considerate? We little people."

Lu Gong was stunned by Zhang Fei and didn't know how to refute.

indeed!

He really thinks so, and he also opposes the current servant system, but he does also think that this matter belongs to the power of their ministers, and it is not for the common people to discuss.

But having said that, it is not officials like them who hurt, but the people of the world, and the people are also anxious, so the officials are of course not in a hurry.

Li Kai suddenly said: "As a person from Erbi, you should be familiar with the law. Who told you that you can sue the court, and who told you that you can use the law of your ancestors as an excuse?"

Zhang Fei said: "First of all, the imperial court has no express regulations, and it is not allowed to sue the imperial court. Secondly, Taizu Taizong's imperial edict is legally binding, and it is the same for civilians. Failure to obey the imperial edict is a capital offense."

Li Kai was speechless.

You are ruthless!

Mr. Lu sat down and sighed, "I don't know if suing the imperial court violates the imperial court's laws, so I can only take you into custody temporarily.

But I also want to advise you, if you really want to speak a word of justice for the people of the world, then you should work hard and strive to become an official in the court. If you are so unruly and rampant, sooner or later something will happen. "

He also knew that many people in the court recommended Zhang Fei as an official.

It is not a big problem for a small official to be a high official.

Zhang Fei saluted and said: "Thank you, Prefect Lu, for letting me know, and Xiaomin will definitely remember it in my heart."

Lu Gong waved his hand and said, "Take it down!"

After Zhang Fei was taken down, Li Kai complained: "Actually, this mouth grows on him. We don't care whether he sues or not. The key point is that he always comes to our Kaifeng mansion. If this is true , it is not something our Kaifeng government can accept!"

Lu Gong wrote with a sigh: "So now we can only wait for the outcome of the court's discussion on this matter."

Du Zhisi.

"I have already inquired clearly. There should be nothing wrong with this matter. It is really possible that Mr. Zhang San will engage in such tax calculation."

Shen Huai, the judge of Duzhi, said filially.

On his left sat Tang Ji, deputy envoy of the Ministry of Household Affairs, "We must not let that kid succeed. How can we let him, a commoner, get involved in the power of the country's finances, what a shame."

Sitting on the right was Yantie Judge Du Xiu, worried: "But the problem is, how do we stop him? He just proposed to help people calculate taxes, which is neither illegal nor against the system. He can still say yes." For the sake of the people, share the concerns of the government."

The Ministry of Households, Duzhi, and Salt and Iron are collectively called the Three Divisions, which belong to the central financial department and are in charge of the national finances.

But on the first day of work, they talked about a person who was a pen.

It was they who heard that Zhang Fei was going to start a tax calculation business, which made them a little uneasy.

If Zhang Fei really did it, then they have to be careful everywhere, they may be sued if they charge an extra penny.

This is not buying and selling, but power.

That's why they feel terrified.

Shen Huaixiao said thoughtfully: "At the end of last year, many officials in the DPRK recommended Zhang San to be an official in the DPRK, but there is no result yet, why don't we also help to get the boy into the DPRK and give him comfort? An official position, let him not make trouble outside, it is good for everyone! He is just a piece of broken tiles, we don't have to fight with him, then Wang Sinong lost in this."

Tang Ji and Du Xiu looked at each other and nodded.

This kid is really a headache.

Just at this time, an official quickly walked into the hall and whispered something in Shen Huaixiao's ear.

"what?"

Shen Huaixiao stood up in shock.

Tang Ji asked, "What happened?"

Shen Huai Xiao said: "That kid ran to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint."

"This is the first day Kaifeng Mansion opens!" Tang Jiren was stunned.

Du Xiu asked, "Who is he suing?"

"The imperial court."

"what?"

This... this is really a shame!

kill him!

Fan Family Bookstore!

"Whose name is he suing in?"

Fan Li tightly tugged on the sleeve of a person from Erbi, with tears in his eyes, he asked in a trembling voice.

The person from Naerbi replied: "According to the rules, he...he can only sue in the name of our bookstore!"

"Ah!" Fan Li screamed, closed his eyes, and passed out.

The Er pens in the bookstore are also in danger.

I wondered if I should hurry back to pack my bags and run away.

This state is really shocking!

The entire imperial city was shaken.

Sue the court?

Can this be sued?

How do you sue?

Ancestral law?

What ancestral method?

Most officials are dumbfounded.

They don't know if it's against the law or not, and they don't know what the law of the ancestors is.

But they soon realized that regardless of whether they violated the law or not, they must break the law. They immediately asked the Kaifeng government to arrest Zhang Fei for questioning. Some officials even demanded that Zhang Fei be sentenced to death for treason.

This example must not be opened.

Otherwise, people would sue the court every day.

After all, the imperial court did bad things, but ahem.

It's hard to say.

Anyway, all in all, all in all, Zhang Fei must not be allowed to succeed.

The little emperor Zhao Xu was also dumbfounded. As an emperor, he didn't even know that the lawsuit could still be played like this.

But there was a lot of noise down there.

So Zhao Xu hurriedly held a meeting of the highest think tank in the Imperial Academy.

Among them are the privy envoy Chen Shengzhi, Ji Xiang Tang Jie, Yushi Zhongcheng Lu Huo, and Kaifeng prefect Lu Gong, etc.

At the meeting, Mr. Lu first explained the reasons for the case in detail.

It also includes the triangle relationship between Gao Wenyin, Zhang Fei and Shi Dalang.

"If that's the case, Zhang Fei didn't make a mistake!" Wang Anshi said caressing his beard.

Zhao Xu glanced at the idol and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Wang Anshi immediately said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the battle in front of the Yamen has troubled our dynasty for many years, and there are countless cases, indicating that this battle caused countless people to live in dire straits, and their families were ruined at every turn. But the court has not yet made up its mind. solve this problem.

Now it has made the people suffer innocent injustice, which is the fault of the court.Now that the common people are being forced to come to complain, shouldn't the court reflect on itself?The minister suggested that Zhang San should be given a chance to argue. If Zhang San was right, the court should reform himself. "

As soon as these words came out, Lu Hui and others despised Wang Anshi one after another.

I really know how to make use of it!

Zhao Xu also reacted suddenly, with joy in his eyes, this seems to be an assist from God!

Suppressing the joy in his heart, he nodded, but before he could speak, Lu Hui said first: "What is the injustice? I also agree that there were indeed many shortcomings in the Yaqian battle, which should be corrected. But since it is a lawsuit, Then we still have to abide by the laws and regulations of our court, and we can’t mess with the law. The court has a clear rule that if the public property is damaged or lost during the escort, the yamen must be compensated, and it is an exaggeration to say that it is an innocent injustice.”

Many ministers nodded in agreement.

Even if there are problems with this law, it is still a law, regardless of whether it is a good law or a bad law. If you want to sue the person who penned it, you must follow the law.

"Not bad!"

Sima Guang suddenly said: "Lu Zhongcheng's words are right!" After speaking, he asked Lu Gong again: "I don't know what regulations that Zhang San sued the court?"

Lu Gong was stunned for a moment, I just said it, didn't you hear clearly, so he said: "It is against the law of the ancestors to sue the imperial court."

"The law of the ancestors?"

Sima Guang took a deep breath, and couldn't help frowning, and asked again: "But I don't know which ancestor's method?"

Wang Anshi glanced at Sima Guang, and cursed secretly, you old fox, you really can't afford the slightest loss.

Lu Gong wrote truthfully: "He is based on Taizong's decree that the first emperor started his business for 20 years, and things were prevented, and music was made. 'Come and sue the court."

Zhao Xu was confused again, "What does this have to do with this case?"

Lu Gong wrote: "Report to Your Majesty, the minister has not yet tried, and I don't know the reason."

Sima Guang immediately said: "Your Majesty, if Zhang San really sued the court with the law of the ancestors, I think it is not inappropriate and reasonable, and the court must treat it with caution. After all, the law of the ancestors cannot be violated. This is an opportunity for Zhang Fei to argue. If he talks nonsense, then he will be convicted, so that people will be convinced."

Ok?

The rest of the people looked at Sima Guang in surprise.

This... when did these two veterans stand together?

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, then glanced again, "What do you all think?"

The rest looked at each other.

Let these two veterans say the words, what else can they say, they can only nod and agree.

After all, the two of them represent the two camps of the imperial court.

Zhao Xu glanced at Wang Anshi, then at Sima Guang, thought for a while, and finally decided that Wang Anshi and Sima Guang would preside over the case, and officials from Yushitai, Judgment Court, Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Kaifeng Mansion would serve as jurors.

Originally it was planned to be tried in Kaifeng Mansion. After all, Zhang Fei went to Kaifeng Mansion to sue, but Lu Gong refused to agree, saying that the small mansion is shabby and cannot afford to try such a big case.

Last year, Kaifeng Mansion was already full of controversy by Zhang Fei. There were no people inside and outside, and this case was more sensitive, so there had never been a trial of this kind of case. He would never take advantage of it, because he also knew that it was not him who made the decision.

Why should you take the blame.

In the end, Zhao Xu decided to place him in Dali Temple for trial.

In fact, it should also be placed in Dali Temple. After all, Kaifeng Prefecture is a state capital, and it is really not qualified to hear the case. Only the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple are qualified.

The Judgment Court is to review the judgment of Dali Temple. If Dali Temple does not try, the Trial Court is not easy to intervene.
