Wang Hongfei was so angry that he had a very strong character, so when he grabbed those ear pens, he just slapped them with a slap in the face.
Of course he knew the whole story, but in his opinion, Zhang Fei was just a cunning person. If he wanted to take advantage of the tax loophole to benefit himself, he should not be too tolerant towards such cunning people. He must be severely punished. Only in this way can he
Manage well.
If Zhang Fei didn't take Yubian with him that day, he might really fight.
He even believed that Zhang Fei's arrogance was all connived by Kaifeng Mansion.
But now it seems that this is not the case.
This kid is really ruthless, and he was definitely not connived by the Kaifeng Mansion.
Not only did he plan to retaliate against him, but he also insulted him in person, which almost made the man faint from anger.
This unruly man wants to go to heaven!
But at the same time, I felt a little uneasy in my heart.
Something feels bad.
"Don't be angry, Magistrate Wang. He just wants to anger you deliberately and make you mess up in court."
Fan Chunren saw Wang Hong standing there motionless with an expression of lightning and thunder on his face. He also expected that Zhang Fei definitely didn't have anything nice to say, so he came back and persuaded.
Wang Hong turned his head and glanced at Fan Chunren, and took a deep breath: "Fan Sijian, please rest assured, I have been to this court more than him, and I will not fall into his trap."
At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "But...but is Fan Sijian confident?"
In the past, he had been sitting on the side of the court during the interrogation, purely to serve him. Now that he was the defendant for the first time, he could not help but feel a little uneasy.
Fan Chunren said confidently: "As long as you follow what I told you, the most you can do is to be found guilty of missing a person."
Wang Hong just nodded slightly.
Although there is basically no punishment for the crime of betrayal, but it is a crime after all, so can’t the other party be found guilty?
I couldn't help but complain about Wei Yushan again.
...
Zhao Pian also came to Kaifeng Mansion early to prepare.
"Back here again."
Zhao Pian raised his eyes and looked around, all the past events flashed through his mind.
He had also served as the powerful magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion before, and he cleared the prison in less than three years. His reputation at that time was really comparable to that of Bao Zheng.
For him, it was a very wonderful experience.
This is why Lu Huiqing proposed to let him come for trial.
For Zhang Fei, a fair judge is beneficial to him.
Li Kai next to him complained: "Prime Minister Zhao, this case is getting really difficult to judge now!"
This time Mr. Lu pretended to run away, but he didn't. He felt very depressed.
Zhao Pian glanced at Li Kai and said with a smile: "To be honest with Li Tongpan, I was just like you last time. I was also worried about Fan Sijian losing the lawsuit. How could I let an ear pen control it?"
Official review."
Li Kai just nodded, that's what happened.
In Zhang Fei's court, the protagonist is never the chief judge.
Zhao Pian changed the topic: "But later I also reflected that what we pursue in the trial is fairness and justice, not victory or defeat and face. As long as we uphold the attitude of pursuing fairness, we won't care so much, and we won't
When we feel aggrieved and uncomfortable, the ear pen is assisting us in our judgment, not our enemy.”
In fact, everyone is a little uncomfortable with Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei is indeed a bit presumptuous. As a result, officials usually think that I am writing based on the idea of an ear pen, so the books I have written over the past few decades have been read into the belly of a dog.
Already? I feel very shameless.
Although Zhao Pian had not been through the trial, he had taken advantage of this situation last time, thinking that Fan Chunren lost and he would lose face. However, the attitudes of Han Qi and Fu Bi at that time made him reflect on himself.
Han Qi and Fu Bi had much higher status than him, but they never felt it was embarrassing. The result was whatever it was, and no one said anything about them afterwards.
A very simple reason, since what Zhang Fei says is more reasonable, why don't you agree with him.
This is not a competition, but a trial.
...
Mr. Lu also came today, but he didn't even wear official uniform, but that didn't mean he was relaxed, because Lu Jiawen was the litigant.
When I got here, I quickly called Lu Jiawen.
"grandfather!"
Lu Jiawen glanced at Mr. Lu with some guilt.
Lu Gong said: "Now that the matter has come to this, you should try to behave better and don't lose the face of our Lu family."
After Lu Jiawen heard this, he suddenly said excitedly: "Grandpa, please rest assured that your grandson will never disgrace our family. He is also very confident in his eloquence."
Lu Gongzhu frowned and said: "I called you here just to remind you that neither Zhang San nor Fan Sijian is easy to offend. Don't be careless. Tell everything truthfully. Never
Show off your self-righteous eloquence."
Lu Jiawen immediately stopped talking, "My grandson knows."
Mr. Lu looked at him and said, "I hope you really know."
.....
Gradually, more and more people gathered in the Kaifeng Mansion, and this lawsuit attracted much attention in the court.
Because this involves two very sensitive topics, one is judiciary and administration. This is an issue that many officials are worried about, whether the judiciary will infringe on their rights and interests.
The second is the tax issue, which almost everyone is concerned about.
Anyway, they are very fatal.
When Sima Guang and Wang Anshi appeared, everyone's attention was focused on them. Even Han Qi and Fu Bi did not receive such high attention as them.
There was such a fuss in the Imperial City last time, and the two of them seemed to have entered a state of cold war, and they almost never appeared together.
Now that so many people are paying attention, it must be given a sense of ceremony.
"congratulations!"
When Wang Anshi saw Sima Guang, he quickly raised his hands to congratulate him.
This is clearly the weasel paying New Year greetings to the rooster.
Sima Guang said expressionlessly: "Why do you wish me good luck?"
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "No matter who loses or wins in this lawsuit, you, Sima Jun, are actually the biggest winner. It's really gratifying!"
Sima Guang said calmly: "Maybe in your eyes, Wang Jiefu, this lawsuit is judged by victory or defeat, but in my eyes, Sima Guang, justice is the most important thing."
Wang Anshi laughed and said: "Last time those ear pens were beaten for no reason in Kaifeng County, you were talking about money instead of justice."
Sima Guang said: "I remember you supported it at that time."
Su Shi, who was standing next to him, watched the two men fighting again, and was about to step forward to joke a few words. He was criticized by the two of them last time, and he felt very dissatisfied. He kept looking for opportunities to take revenge. Suddenly he felt a pain in his feet, and he let out a small voice. He turned his head and looked at Su Che: "Why are you stepping on me?"
Su Che said hurriedly: "Second brother, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention at the moment."
Su Shi said angrily: "Third brother, how long have you been in charge of setting up the Ordinance Department of the Second Government? Your ability to lie has really improved a lot. The new laws and regulations you enact are most likely to be deceptive."
Su Che couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Second brother, don't join in the fun. These two are not easy to mess with."
Su Shi was unconvinced and said: "He, Zhang San, has offended him, but I, Su Shi, can't offend him?"
When it comes to talking nonsense, Su Shi has never convinced anyone.
...
At this time, Zhang Fei and Fan Chunren had been called into the inner hall by Zhao Bian.
"What do you think about the trial being conducted in the political hall as last time?"
Zhao Pian asked the two of them.
The last lawsuit was not a traditional one, but Zhao Pian also felt that since the ear pens are so powerful now, they should be given some status.
Zhang Fei and Fan Chunren nodded at the same time.
Zhao Pian added: "But there are many witnesses this time, and I can't let them all sit in the hall for trial. What do you think we should do?"
Fan Chunren immediately said: "It was me who came up with the idea last time, this time it will be up to Zhang San."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "I won a big victory last time, and this time there are more viewers than last time. In order to increase the viewing pleasure, it is still up to Fan Sijian to decide. I don't care."
Zhao Pian asked: "Are you here to perform?"
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "After all, the common people are the people, and Fan Sijian is the official. If we lose too ugly, it will be my fault in the end, and it will be really difficult for the common people."
The corners of Fan Chunren's mouth twitched.
But there was no way, who made him lose.
Zhao Pian also had some blood pressure, regretted coming to question them, and said: "In this way, you can summon one witness each, and take turns to come, if you have any objections."
Both said no.
...
After everything was prepared, Zhao Pian was officially promoted to court.
Compared with the unprofessional judicial institution of the Government Hall, the Kaifeng Mansion is still full of ceremony.
Amidst the mighty sound, Zhao Pian, dressed in official uniform, majestically came to the presiding seat. After sitting down, he slapped the hall with shock and summoned Zhang Fei and Fan Chunren to come to the court.
Zhang Fei was still a husband and wife team, but Xu Zhiqian was not shy or panicked this time. After all, everyone already knew that Xu Zun had betrothed her to Zhang Fei.
Fan Chunren is also an old partner, he and Qian Yi are together.
Although it was Fan Chunren who came up with the idea this time, the two of them lost together last time, so it would be unreasonable not to bring Qian Ai with him.
The four of them bowed to Zhao Pian and then took their seats.
One look at this posture, and you can tell that the interrogation method from the last time at the Political Hall has been continued.
Han Qi was amused and said to Fu Bi next to him: "I have to say that this way of judging is really entertaining, and it is even more interesting than going to a restaurant to listen to music and dance."
Fu Bi glanced at Han Qi and couldn't help teasing him: "Xianggong Han is really as charming as before!"
"...?"
Han Qi was stunned at first, and then said: "The rich man doesn't know what he is doing. He is so agile and agile that he can't stay idle at home!"
Sitting on this battlefield, these people seem to be a bit talkative and eager to try.
They have all seen this scene before, but the people watching at the door saw it for the first time. Although Lu Gongzhu and Huang Gui helped Lin Fei in the debate, it was very casual, unlike today.
major.
Many viewers didn't understand what this was about.
After Xu Zhiqian sorted out the essay, she glanced at the opposite side curiously. Seeing that there were only a few pages of paper on their desk, she whispered to Zhang San: "Zhang San, look, they still haven't prepared any essay."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This is just a matter of habit, but don't worry, there will be more and more in the future."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "Professional."
After they were ready, the first witness Zhao Pian announced was Lu Jiawen.
This is not a choice for them.
The prosecutor must be a court judge.
Why are you suing? You have to explain it!
Otherwise, there will be no trial.
Lu Jiawen was really young and frivolous. He was very excited when he came to the court. There was no fear on his face. His expectant eyes seemed to say, "Ask me, ask me."
Last time, because the opponent was Wang Anshi, it was impossible to let Wang Anshi stand. At that time, he was given a seat.
Now that he has sat down, Zhao Pian has also arranged a seat specifically for the witness. He feels that it was good last time and there is no need to change it.
After all, they are witnesses, not prisoners.
Zhao Pian first asked Lu Jiawen to explain the ins and outs of the whole matter.
In fact, this is really meant for the audience to hear. After all, this matter is also related to people's livelihood, and public opinion must also be taken care of.
Lu Jiawen immediately told the truth about what happened in those days.
Zhang Fei had told him not to start talking about it from the moment Geng Ming filed the complaint, but from the moment he received the complaint. He could only explain the process that he personally experienced.
After he finished speaking, Fan Chunren stood up first and said: "According to your confession, when Wang Zhixian came to see you for the first time to talk about Geng Mingyi, you had a heated argument."
Lu Jiawen nodded and said, "Yes."
Fan Chunren said: "I wonder if you are arguing about this?"
Lu Jiawen replied: "Because there was insufficient evidence for Wang Zhixian to question Geng Ming, he suggested settling the matter. However, I think Geng Ming's evidence was very sufficient. Wang Zhixian deliberately favored Wei Yushan, so he had a dispute with him."
Fan Chunren asked: "So Wang Zhixian and you are just arguing about whether the evidence is sufficient?"
Lu Jiawen immediately said: "Of course not. At that time, Wang Zhixian couldn't compete with me in terms of evidence, so he used my family background to humiliate me, saying that if I didn't rely on my ancestors to become an official, I wouldn't even be a subordinate, and I didn't know how to judge the law.
.”
Fan Chunren said: "So you hold a grudge and do not hesitate to make an exception and sue the county government in the name of the Si Li Yuan. The purpose is to take revenge on Wang Zhixian."
Zhang Fei stood up and said, "I object!"
"I'm done asking."
Fan Chunren glanced at Zhang Fei and then sat down.
