Although Lu Huiqing claimed to be fair, impartial, and neutral, in fact, in his heart, he had no respect for the law at all. In his heart, he was even more traditional than Na Guji.
The law was nothing more than a weapon in his political struggle.
In his belief, he also advocates cutting the weeds without uprooting them, and they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Things have reached this point, they have an absolute advantage, and the officials are obviously biased in their favor, and this person is greedy, and he hopes to use this to inflict a heavy blow on the conservatives.
This time he has brought in many conservative backbones.
But he also knew Xu Zun's personality. Although he had a good relationship with Wang Anshi, if he told Xu Zun this, he would probably go in.
Relatively speaking, Zhang Fei is obviously more reasonable and knows the pros and cons. The key is that Zhang Fei is Xu Zun's son-in-law.
Therefore, he wanted to achieve this goal through Zhang Fei.
But there is a saying that if you hit a snake, hit it within seven inches.
Your stick only hits the opponent's tail, and it's okay to have a strong momentum, but if you want to cut it off directly, it would be a bit fanciful. After all, Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and other conservative leaders are all fine.
If you don't play well and it bites you in turn, you'll be in trouble.
Especially using the procuratorate to frame charges is indeed a bit risky.
After discussing with Zhang Fei, Lu Huiqing also felt that handling the matter fairly was the best way to avoid losing more than the gain.
What if there is an unexpected surprise?
No one can tell for sure.
"Sanlang, please wipe your face first. I have already told Xiao Tao to boil water."
As soon as Zhang Fei returned home, the virtuous Gao Wenyin immediately handed him a hot handkerchief.
"Thank you ma'am."
Zhang Fei took the handkerchief and put it directly on his face, "It feels so comfortable."
Gao Wenyin asked: "Sanlang went to play Cuju again today."
Zhang Fei nodded: "Those idiots didn't make me mad to death. Look, my voice was muted by the curses."
"Deserve it!"
I saw Xu Zhiqian walking in and snorted: "You are really not doing your job properly."
Now that so many things have happened, this guy is still in the mood to play football, but Xu Zhiqian is not anxious to death.
Zhang Fei took off the handkerchief, and Gao Wenyin on the side took it easily.
Um?
Zhang Fei subconsciously looked back at Gao Wenyin and thought to himself, you have taken such great care of you. Then he said to Xu Zhiqian: "Why don't you do your job properly? Didn't I tell you? This football is related to the future of the charity, and it cannot be tolerated."
main idea."
Xu Zhiqian said worriedly: "But this sounds outrageous!"
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said: "Beauty, I think I need to remind you, do you still remember how you evaluated my article at that time? But what is the result? My article is better than that of Bachelor Wang and Bachelor Sima.
It also needs to be popular and everyone loves to read it. If that’s the case, why can’t everyone love my football?”
Gao Wenyin nodded and said, "It's true. Even Xiao Tao and Daniel like to listen to San Lang's articles."
"Love to hear it?"
Zhang Fei didn't react for a moment. There are no radios these days, right?
Gao Wenyin explained: "They don't know many words, so I can only read them to them."
Zhang Fei was speechless. You must be too humble to be a wife.
Xu Zhiqian also acknowledged the article. It was so popular that it turned into a ballad, saying: "But even if you can succeed, so what, let alone your football, even if the Tokyo 18 Clubs all belong to you, you will still make money."
For less than a small amount of money, it can’t be compared with the Baifanlou, Ma’s and Chen’s families.”
Nowadays, Cuju competitions are not unheard of, and everyone knows how much money can be earned.
The wealthy businessmen in the capital just came out with some money to reward those Cuju players for fun, but no one said they wanted to do this business.
Zhang Fei shook his head helplessly and said feebly: "With your trading methods, don't ask me to make money. Spend your money with peace of mind. This is what you are good at."
Xu Zhiqian's face turned red and she muttered in a low voice: "Aren't I afraid that I won't have any money to spend?"
"you!"
While chatting, Xu Zun suddenly walked in.
"Daddy is back!"
"Father-in-law."
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian immediately stood up.
"Um."
Xu Zun nodded.
Xu Zhiqian saw that Xu Zun had something to discuss with Zhang Fei, so she wisely left with Gao Wenyin.
Xu Zun glanced at Zhang Fei and said hehe: "Perhaps even Wang Jiefu didn't expect that he would be discovered by a boy like you. Not long ago, the government appointed me as the prosecutor to take charge of the prosecutor's office."
Before today, he had doubts about Zhang Fei's prediction.
Because Wang Anshi never came to him during this period.
He judged that Wang Anshi might be directly attacking the Procuratorate and weakening its power, rather than just replacing someone else.
result.
Zhang Fei quickly cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations..."
"Don't be busy congratulating me yet."
Xu Zun raised his hand and sighed: "I don't even know how to be a prosecutor now."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Actually, with my father-in-law's experience, he is more than qualified to be a prosecutor. There is no need to worry."
"You can't say that." Xu Zun waved his hands and said: "This political stance can bring down Su Shi and Fan Chunren. This shows that it is not easy to be an official!"
Having said that, no one has a political stance.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "But my father-in-law is different from them. They are still used to following subjective wishes, but this only applies to Erbi, not to prosecutors. My father-in-law's previous trials have always been based on objective evidence.
and legal regulations.
The difference from previous trials is that prosecutors have to follow objective evidence rather than subjective judgments. No matter how bad the case is, even if you know who the murderer is, as long as the evidence is insufficient, prosecution cannot be initiated.
So what my father-in-law needs to pay attention to in the procuratorate is to ask for it."
"Ask for it?"
"Just ask the police station for more evidence."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "My father-in-law serves as the prosecutor, and his main responsibility is to judge whether the evidence constitutes the conditions for prosecution."
Xu Zundao: "But there is no judgment standard at present. If there is one, it is estimated that Fan Chunren and Su Shi will not have any trouble."
Zhang Fei said: "Therefore, my father-in-law needs to rely on his own experience to formulate a set of judgment standards. This is also the core of the Procuratorate."
Xu Zun stroked his beard and murmured to himself: "Determine whether the evidence constitutes the conditions for prosecution."
Suddenly I felt that this prosecutor was quite interesting.
He really has no interest in litigating cases, but he is still very interested in building a procuratorate system.
"What do you say!"
Xu Zun suddenly remembered something, and asked Zhang Fei: "The officials have handed over to me the case of Fan Chunren and Su Shi forming a clique for personal gain. How should we judge such a case?"
This form of forming cliques for personal gain often means forming cliques for personal gain. It is a very metaphysical thing. If you believe it, you will have it. If you don’t believe it, you will not have it.
After all, the current political parties do not issue party cards.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "My father-in-law only needs to ask them a few questions."
"Is it that simple?" Xu Zun asked in surprise.
Zhang Fei nodded.
Fu Bi did not attend the meeting today because he was very tired of this kind of thing, but he still cared about the son of his old friend. He also told Wen Yanbo that Fan Chunren's life must be protected.
Therefore, after the meeting, Wen Yanbo immediately ran to find Fu Bi.
Fu Bi nodded slightly: "It seems that Wang Jiefu doesn't want to break this rule."
Wen Yanbo said: "But there is no doubt about Wang Jiefu's ambition. Xu Zhongtu controls the procuratorate and will definitely not file a lawsuit against the new law.
But fortunately, Sima Junshi had already seen through it, so he made plans in advance, took advantage of the situation, and used this matter to transfer Fan Chunren and Su Shi to key prefectures and counties, where they established public prosecutors and prosecutors to check and balance Wang Jiefu."
Fu Bi sighed: "But if the capital cannot be defended, there will be no hope in this place. Wang Jiefu can transfer people away at any time."
Wen Yanbo said: "Therefore, the rich man must stay in the court and give Sima Jun real support."
Historically, after Wang Anshi came to power, they left the capital one after another because they were firmly opposed to the Qingmiao Law, but Zhao Xu firmly supported Wang Anshi. In this case, their stay in the court became meaningless, and they might as well
Leave and go do some work somewhere.
But it's different now. Now they have to stay in the court and continue to complete the judicial reform. Even if they don't agree with it, they have to stay in the court.
Fu Bi said nothing about this. After all, his era had passed and his vigor was no longer the same. He asked again: "Fan Chunren, is Su Shi in danger?"
Wen Yanbo said: "Although Xu Zhongtu was quite deviant in handling some things, he generally did not go beyond the bottom line of the law. He was a very fair and strict official. Since Fan Chunren and Su Shi had no intention of forming a party for selfish purposes, I believe Xu Zhongtu would not slander him either.
them."
Fu Bi said: "But you still have to be careful. For crimes like forming a clique for personal gain, there is no standard for punishment. Anything can happen."
The next day, Xu Zun rushed to the procuratorate to take up his post. A large number of officials in the DPRK had already complained about Fan Chunren and Su Shi. The longer this was delayed, the more complicated the situation might become.
It must be resolved quickly.
Fan Chunren and Su Shi, two stiff-necked people, never expected that this would be the result.
Overnight, he went from being the owner to being a suspect.
My lungs are about to explode.
We agreed that we should divide the situation in the hall, but now you are resorting to political tactics.
It's too ungrateful to have martial ethics.
Therefore, when they saw Xu Zun, their anger was vivid on the page.
Xu Zun asked with a smile: "Do you know why you are standing here now?"
Fan Chunren said straightforwardly: "We were victimized by an adulterer."
Su Shi teased: "It seems that what your son-in-law did is something that others cannot imitate."
We just imitated Zhang Fei, but in the end we didn’t even get into the classroom.
Pure double standards!
Xu Zun almost didn't laugh, ignored Su Shi, and continued to say to Fan Chunren: "Fan Chunren, you said that you were victimized by an adulterer, but this evidence shows that Liu Shu, Qi Hui and others have been closely associated with you in recent times.
, and it was a conspiracy to discuss prosecution, I wonder if it is true?”
Fan Chunren said: "We are discussing how to prosecute and how to win this lawsuit. This is not a conspiracy. We are not hiding anything. Many people know about it."
Xu Zun nodded and said, "Then why do they want to help you? Is it out of comradeship or friendship?"
Fan Chunren said truthfully: "Maybe there is a reason for this, but mainly because they are also opposed to the New Deal."
Xu Zun asked: "Then do you know in advance their purpose of helping you?"
They both nodded at the same time.
Xu Zun was curious again: "How did you know?"
Fan Chunren said: "Because we have discussed the New Deal before."
Xu Zundao: "Then are you, like them, also opposed to the New Deal?"
Su Shi was the first to say: "We just oppose some of these regulations."
Fan Chunren nodded.
Xu Zun asked again: "During the investigation, have you consulted officials from the Ordinance Department of the Second Government?"
The two of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, shook their heads at the same time, and their faces gradually became a little embarrassed.
Xu Zun asked again: "Have you only discussed it with officials who opposed the new law?"
The two thought for a while and nodded at the same time.
Xu Zun nodded: "I understand, you go down."
What do you understand?
Su Shi was surprised and said: "Is this the end of the question?"
Fan Chunren also looked at Xu Zun with confusion.
Xu Zun asked: "Is there anything else you want to say?"
"no."
Su Shi shook his head and asked curiously: "Does prosecutor Xu think our prosecution violates the rules?"
Xu Zun said with a smile: "What do you think? How can a prosecutor just discuss with like-minded people and then decide whether to initiate prosecution without investigating or consulting the parties involved? Maybe establish a second government regulations department."
There are other arrangements, or maybe they need to add regulations in the future.
You first consider your opposition to the new law, and then you consider using judicial means to achieve your goals. Your purpose is to correct the mistakes you think are wrong, not to maintain the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty. You are not even right or wrong or illegal.
I can’t tell clearly, I have nothing else to ask.”
After saying these words, Fan Chunren's face turned red and white.
Xu Zunzhen was heartbroken by every sentence, and he also realized what a big mistake he had made.
In this case, he was thinking about political goals and perhaps the people of the country, but he only ignored that he was a prosecutor and was still immersed in his career as an admonitor.
But this prosecutor is actually just like a prosecutor. It is a highly professional official position. Everything must be done according to the rules. It does not mean that you can do whatever you want.
If the judiciary does this, it will be all over.
But they were only thinking about how to litigate, how to force Wang Anshi to make concessions, and regarded Wang Anshi as an enemy. Since he was an enemy, why should they consult him?
Su Shi raised his head and said, "What prosecutor Xu said is wrong!"
Xu Zun looked at him doubtfully.
Su Shi said: "Fan Chunren is not a prosecutor now, he is just a legal aid, and he is not at fault."
Xu Zun was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "It makes sense. I will report this factually."
Fan Chunren said: "But when I participated in this matter, I regarded myself as a prosecutor."
Xu Zun smiled and said: "The law is the law, not what you think."
