Chapter 11: Capture the thief first and capture the king first
Xu Zun immediately called Zhang Fei into the room and introduced Liu Zhao to him.
"Zhang San, a small citizen, has met Liu Sheren."
Zhang Fei quickly bowed his hand and bowed.
"No need to be polite!"
Liu Zhao waved his hand and immediately asked: "I heard that you want to help Ayun reverse the case?"
"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded.
Liu Zhaodao: "I wonder how you plan to help Ayun reverse the case?"
Zhang Fei seemed a little hesitant and glanced at Xu Zun.
Liu Zhao asked: "Can't you say it?"
Zhang Fei said: "Please forgive Liu Sheren, because in Xiaomin's view, litigation is a game. If Xiaomin exposes his witnesses and evidence in advance, Xiaomin may fail."
"Litigation? Game?"
Liu Zhao chuckled and said, "What you said is quite novel. Well, I won't ask any more questions."
He was indifferent by nature. He came here just to inform his friends and nothing else. He had no interest in political struggle. He chatted with Xu Zun for a while and then stood up to leave.
After he left, Xu Zun called Zhang Fei into the room again and asked him solemnly: "Are you really sure of winning?"
Zhang Fei nodded first, and then asked: "My benefactor, are there other matters involved in this case?"
Xu Zundao: "You don't have to worry about it."
Zhang Fei said, "If I didn't know the whole story and the stakes, I might have said the wrong thing in class. This is also very important."
Xu Zun felt that what Zhang Fei said was reasonable, and this was an open matter. However, he thought that Zhang San did not need to know, so he did not hide it and informed Zhang Fei of the reason.
It’s almost as recorded in history books.
At first, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty submitted the case to the Hanlin Academy for review, but it was still limited to the legal system.
Sima Guang and Wang Anshi also fought over the legal system.
It’s just that they all discuss the legal system based on etiquette and law.
The reason why Sima Guang agreed with the deliberation of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment was because he believed that although Ayun and Weiada were not considered husband and wife legally, in terms of folk etiquette and law, they were husband and wife.
Ayun, who was not familiar with the law, must have thought that Weiada was her husband before committing the murder.
The husband is the guide for his wife, and Ayun's murderous act is full of malice, so his crime cannot be reduced.
Wang Anshi and Xu Zun have the same view. He believes that Ayun is not malicious, but forced into helplessness, and deserves forgiveness.
The ministers of the Song Dynasty were all geniuses. Because they had been to various places as magistrates of counties and prefectures, they were all top-notch legal experts.
They began to use various laws and regulations to defend their judgment.
However, the ministers of North Korea and China also have different views on this case, and many officials have taken sides.
As soon as there are more people, the nature changes.
Since Wang Anshi had just returned to Beijing, he was eager to change the law, so he needed to recruit troops. He also saw that this case was an excellent opportunity for him, so he immediately politicized the case.
A landmark event was the transfer of Xu Zun back to take charge of Dali Temple.
This is definitely a political incident.
Of course, Xu Zun did not tell Zhang Fei the reason for politicizing the case. He was just explaining the professional opinions of officials in the DPRK and China on the case.
But Zhang Fei knew it clearly. He hesitated for a while and asked: "Who will hear the case then?"
Xu Zundao: "On this point, we haven't decided yet. It's probably up to me to review it. After all, the officials just asked me to be in charge of Dali Temple."
Zhang Fei said: "But I am overturning the case, don't I have to choose another official to try it?"
This is the rule, but now that Xu Zun has changed departments, he has reason to continue hearing the case.
Xu Zun asked curiously: "Don't you want me to come and interrogate you?"
Zhang Fei said: "If we can't convince the other party directly, I think it will be difficult to come up with a result after the trial. We are the weak party, and delaying it will definitely be detrimental to us. It is best to have a final word. Then if the trial is conducted by opposition officials, it will It can be done once and for all!”
"You are quite confident." Xu Zun smiled and asked: "Then who do you think should be the most appropriate judge."
Zhang Fei said without hesitation: "Master Sima."
Xu Zun was stunned and said: "This person is not easy to deal with."
Zhang Fei said: "But if we want to win, we must overcome this hurdle. As the saying goes, the authorities are confused but the bystanders know clearly. We cannot let them stand idly by."
This guy is really brave and resourceful! Xu Zun couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei with admiration again. This was Bianjing, not Dengzhou. At the same time, he also felt that this was fair. He would send one person, and the other party would send one person. If they were all his own people, then Others would not be convinced, so they nodded and said: "Okay! I will try my best to encourage Grand Bachelor Sima to hear the case."
At this moment, Uncle Rong, the housekeeper of the mansion, came to the door and said, "Sir, the guest room has been tidied up."
"I know."
Xu Zun nodded and said to Zhang Fei: "You go back to the house and have a good rest first. I still have some official business to deal with."
"Yes."
But Zhang Fei was young after all. To him, this was nothing more than a long journey. It was purely a public-funded trip. He sat in the room for a while and felt bored to the extreme. There was no mobile phone or computer, so he planned to go out for a walk. .
To be honest, Dengzhou really didn't arouse his interest in shopping, but Bianliang gave him a completely different feeling. The customs and customs here were very charming.
When I got out of the room, I learned from the servant where the back door was, so I went to the back door.
But as soon as he arrived at the back door, he suddenly saw the door open from the outside. First he heard an unclear voice, "It's still early, why did you bring me back?"
It sounded like she was drunk, and she was a woman.
Then I heard a woman say in a low voice: "Oh! Sister Qian'er, please keep your voice down, the master is back."
"Don't scare me with daddy, daddy is still in Dengzhou now."
"It's true, the master is really back."
While talking, I saw a maid carrying a beautiful girl through the door. I saw the girl's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blurry, leaning on the maid, with a hint of charm in her innocence.
"Ah!"
The maid finally helped the girl cross the threshold. Suddenly she saw a strange living person standing in front of the door, and she screamed in fright.
But the girl was still stepping forward, and was startled by the maidservant's scream, and she immediately bumped into Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei subconsciously hugged the girl and wondered, am I so handsome?
When the maid saw that the other party was a stranger, she was so frightened that she shouted: "Thieves! There are thieves!"
Zhang Fei was immediately stunned!
A word also flashed into my head - touch porcelain.
The girl half-squinted her eyes and looked around, "The thief! Where is the thief?"
As he looked around, he suddenly found an unfamiliar face right in front of him. He immediately woke up with a fright and shouted: "Who are you?"
"I am...!"
Zhang Fei was about to explain when the girl suddenly realized that she was still being hugged by him. She was immediately ashamed and angry, and struggled, "You whore, let me go quickly."
Zhang Fei not only refused to let go, but even harder with his arms, hugging the girl tightly, "Can't let go! Can't let go! If you let go, you won't be able to explain clearly."
The girl was so drunk that she was unable to break free.
When the maid saw this, she rushed forward, punching her hard with her fists, and calling for help.
But no matter how hard her little fists came at her like meteors, Zhang Fei just hugged her tightly and refused to let go.
"No rudeness."
Just then, I heard a shout.
Zhang Fei looked back and saw Xu Zun walking over with several servants. He hurriedly said: "My dear friend, you came just in time. Look, I didn't mean to take advantage of Ling's daughter."
Judging from the title just now, this girl must be Xu Zun’s daughter.
Xu Zun came over and saw Zhang Fei hugging his daughter tightly. He really wanted to kill Zhang Fei. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let go yet."
Zhang Fei said: "I let go after I said that. My dear benefactor, please see that Ling Qianjin's calf is behind him. This fully shows that she threw herself over on her own initiative. I just caught her out of kindness to prevent her from falling. I didn't mean to take advantage of her." She is cheap, and she is not a thief. As for why Ling Qianjin pounced on her, I believe Xu Zhizhou must have smelled the smell of alcohol."
One word, professional.
It's a pity that Xu Zun is not in the mood to listen to this now. He is just a father now. With so many people watching, you are still talking nonsense here, bulging his eyes and gritting his teeth and saying: "Let go."
"Let it go, let it go!"
As soon as Zhang Fei let go of his hand, the girl's body went limp and seemed about to fall. Zhang Fei quickly hugged her again. He glanced down and saw the girl tilting her head and closing her eyes, leaning on his arms. She was about to cry and said to Xu Zun: "Order Qianjin seems to... seem to have fallen asleep."
Xu Zun was already on the verge of breaking out and roared at the maidservant: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you help people into the house?"
"Yes, sir."
The maidservant hurriedly came forward, glared at Zhang Fei fiercely, and then helped the girl over from his arms.
"Hiss---!"
Zhang Fei suddenly took a breath of air.
Xu Zun suddenly saw Zhang Fei's face turn purple and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Fei remained motionless, holding his breath, and said with trembling lips: "I am...smelled by the smell of wine. Ouch..." Another painful voice came out, "This wine smells so good."< /p>
Xu Zun glanced at his feet from the corner of his eye and glared at the maid. The maid quickly helped the girl away. He asked Zhang Fei again: "Why are you here?"
Zhang Fei said with tears in his eyes: "I originally planned to go out for a walk to see if there was a chance to save the beauty heroically, but I never thought that I would complete the task brilliantly before I even went out. I... I'd better go back and rest."
After saying this, he turned around and limped toward the house.
"It's really nerve-wracking!"
Xu Zun closed his eyes and sighed, and then ordered Uncle Rong beside him: "In the next few days, that girl is not allowed to step out of the room, otherwise, I will take advantage of you."
