The purpose of Zhang Fei's coming here is not to plead for the people, nor to try a few complicated cases. If it were just that, it would basically not be difficult, and no one would target them.
Isn’t it illegal for powerful people to kill people now?
Of course it's illegal.
Zhang Fei wants to build a new judicial system here and even change the previous judicial concepts. This is the most difficult thing.
Therefore, this needs publicity and the excellent side of this system needs to be shown in order to gain everyone's recognition.
It's like doing business.
Originally, Zhang Fei planned to use Zhong'e to light the first fire and intimidate both civil and military officials. But now it seems that Zhong'e will probably arrive later. At least the details of the public prosecutor's office must be revealed first.
I have to find out clearly, but this is not to blame Zhonge, after all, military generals are very afraid of this kind of thing.
I happened to encounter Zhang's mother-killing incident again.
In fact, things like this are often encountered in later generations, and they are often the balance between law and emotion.
This is a very typical case, and it is closely related to people's lives. It can be used to package and promote the Public Security Law.
...
After taking a nap with Xu Zhiqian in the room for a while, the young couple went out of the study to help Gao Wenyin.
After all, it takes a long time for such a big family to settle down here. In addition, after the long journey, everyone's face was tired. Zhang Fei stopped the housework madman Gao Wenyin and ordered Qingmei and the others.
Just lay out your own bedroom.
Everyone just had a hasty dinner and then went back to their houses to rest.
On the second day, Zhang Fei slept until three o'clock in the morning before slowly waking up. There was already nothing around him. Xu Zhiqian's biological clock was quite scary.
Although the place has changed, Gao Wenyin remains the same, standing behind Zhang Fei and carefully combing his hair.
"lady."
"What's up?"
"You don't have to get up so early for me every day. You're tired from the long days of traveling and traveling. You should get more rest."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but express concern when he saw Gao Wenyin's face looking a little haggard.
Gao Wenyin hurriedly explained: "This has nothing to do with you. It's because I didn't sleep well last night."
Zhang Fei asked: "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." Gao Wenyin shook her head, "Maybe I'm not used to it."
Accepting the bed? Probably not. When we first moved into the new house, I didn't hear that she wasn't used to it! Could it be that she hasn't gotten over the assassination that day?
Zhang Fei suddenly thought, "How about I sleep with you tonight."
Gao Wenyin was stunned at first, then her face turned red with embarrassment, and she said coquettishly: "I don't want it."
There's drama!
Although Gao Wenyin said "no", Zhang Fei was happy because in the past, Gao Wenyin always seemed a little panicked when talking about this kind of topic, but she was not as shy as she is today.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the ambiguous atmosphere immediately disappeared without a trace.
Being able to push open Zhang Fei's bedroom door so directly, I knew it was Xu Zhiqian without even thinking.
"It'll be fine when you wake up." Xu Zhiqian breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Fei asked: "Is something wrong?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Mr. Su Xiao just sent someone to inform you that he will go to Magistrate Cai's place for a banquet later."
"So fast?"
Zhang Fei said: "Then what's the sense of ritual behind this post?"
He expected it would take another two or three days.
Xu Zhiqian suddenly glanced at Gao Wenyin, "Sister Gao, why is your face so red?"
"ah?"
Gao Wenyin seemed to be thinking about something and was startled, "No! No!"
But as he said this, his face turned even redder.
Xu Zhiqian seemed to see something and actually gave Zhang Fei two encouraging looks.
Zhang Fei is so happy that he has such a generous wife, what more could he ask for!
Xu Zhiqian saw that Gao Wenyin's cheeks were as red as the morning sun, but she couldn't bear to tease her, and said: "Sister Gao, help him finish it quickly, and don't be late."
She was impatient and couldn't stand Zhang Fei sitting in front of the bronze mirror for longer than she alone.
"Um."
Gao Wenyin immediately helped Zhang Fei comb her hair into a bun.
After breakfast, Zhang Fei was ready to go out. He originally wanted to ask Cao Dongdong to go with him, but he went to his Uncle Qin's house for a banquet early in the morning.
"Sanlang, be careful on the road."
Gao Wenyin stood in front of the door and said worriedly.
"I know!" Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Madam, wait for me to come back."
Gao Wenyin immediately looked at Xiafei's cheeks, glanced at Xu Zhiqian next to him, and did not answer.
When they arrived at the city gate, Su Che was already waiting there. He picked him up and headed to the government office together.
Entering the city, you can see that the look and feel of Hezhong Mansion is very different from that of Bianjing. Bianjing is full of scholar-bureaucrats and relatives. From time to time, you can see five carriages, and the wheels may be higher than your heads.
In Hezhong Prefecture, merchants carrying baggage can be seen everywhere. Street hotels and refreshments are lined up in rows. The commercial atmosphere in the market is very strong.
You must know that before coming here, almost everyone told Zhang Fei that this was the dragon's pond and the tiger's den. Although everyone pointed out different things, Zhang Fei was still a little surprised by this contrast.
"This Hezhong Mansion is not as chaotic as imagined, and is quite prosperous."
“But all this is hard-won!”
"how do I say this?"
Zhang Fei turned around, looked at Su Che and asked.
Su Zhe said: "Do you still remember the lawsuit you fought over the private affair?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Of course I remember."
Su Che asked again: "Then do you still remember why Xuzhou is short of salt?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's because of the trouble in Yanhu, Jiezhou."
Su Che nodded and said: "At that time, the entire Hezhong Prefecture was in great chaos because of this incident. Magistrate Cai was appointed at a critical moment, but it only took him one year to manage the Hezhong Prefecture."
Zhang Fei frowned and said: "This is not a good thing for us!"
Su Che smiled and nodded: "I know some people here. They are all knowledgeable people, but they don't want to change the status quo. After all, this stability is hard-won."
At this point, he suddenly changed the topic and said: "But Magistrate Cai did not fundamentally improve the problem in Hezhong Prefecture. He just adopted a tolerant policy and tried to turn a blind eye to salt farmers selling illegal salt.
Close one eye and try to give the merchants convenience."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It seems that we still have room to use our skills."
Su Che smiled bitterly and said: "I want to do what Magistrate Cai cannot do. This is not easy. If I am not careful, Magistrate Cai's previous efforts may be in vain."
Before the Public Security Bureau, he still very much agreed with the policies implemented by Cai Yanqing.
Zhang Fei chuckled: "This is also an opportunity. If Magistrate Cai can do it, how can we be promoted based on it?"
.......
After walking for half an hour, the two of them arrived at the government office.
But standing in front of the door was a middle-aged man wearing a gray robe, with a dignified appearance and an impressive appearance.
This person is none other than Cai Yanqing. After all, he comes from a prime minister's family, and he has a very good temperament.
"Zhang San (Su Che) has met Magistrate Cai."
Zhang Fei and Su Zhe quickly stepped forward and bowed their hands.
Cai Yanqing is an official of the fourth rank, while Zhang Fei, the chief judge, is a sixth rank official, which is the same rank as the general judge.
But based on ancestral law, rank cannot explain the problem, it also depends on power.
Cai Yanqing can't shut down Zhang Fei, the great president of the court.
"Be polite, be polite"
Cai Yanqing bowed his hand in return and said: "President Zhang's reputation is as thunderous as thunder. Seeing him today, he is truly well-deserved. In the Song Dynasty, we have President Zhang and rising stars like Chief Prosecutor Su, so why worry about being unfavorable!"
"How dare! How dare!"
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Prefect Cai has given you too much praise. From now on, the younger generation will need more guidance from Prefect Cai."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Cai Yanqing invited the two of them into the hall.
After serving tea, Cai Yanqing first asked: "I heard that President Zhang was assassinated when passing through Pinglu County?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Cai Yanqing asked again: "Have you found any clues?"
Zhang Fei said: "Thank you, Magistrate Cai, for your concern. Nothing has been found yet."
Cai Yanqing sighed: "No matter what, this happened in our Hezhong Mansion, and Cai is the one to blame."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "This has nothing to do with Magistrate Cai. It's because Zhang San has too many enemies. This is not the first time I have been attacked."
Cai Yanqing was surprised and said: "Really?"
But when I think of Zhang Fei's stories, it seems that this is all reasonable.
Su Che said: "Maybe someone wants to use this to drive a wedge between President Zhang and Magistrate Cai."
Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly and said, "What Prosecutor Su said makes sense."
Both parties need to talk this matter through clearly, otherwise, who knows what the other party thinks.
"The generosity of the two of them made Cai feel even more guilty." Cai Yanqing sighed and said: "In fact, it stands to reason that Cai should immediately send someone to investigate the matter and find out the real culprit. But
...But now this matter should be investigated by the Public Security Bureau, so after careful consideration, Cai thought why not leave it to President Zhang to personally investigate."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "It may not be possible for the time being. The police station still needs to recruit people. This must be done gradually and cannot be rushed."
Cai Yanqing nodded and said: "Then I don't know how our government office should cooperate with you. Cai heard that tax collection in Kaifeng Prefecture also falls under the jurisdiction of the public prosecutor."
"no."
Zhang Fei said: "Prefect Cai has misunderstood. The tax collection in Kaifeng Prefecture is under the jurisdiction of the Taxation Department and not our Public Security Bureau. However, currently the imperial court has no plans to establish a Taxation Department in Hezhong Prefecture. We are only responsible for the administration of justice. In other aspects, it is still up to us.
Government administration.
As for the judiciary, our Imperial Court and the Procuratorate are almost ready. We are now waiting for the police station to recruit people, and then Prefect Cai will need to transfer the relevant files to our Imperial Court."
The tax department has actually arrived, but it has not been announced. The routine is still the same, and evidence must be collected secretly.
In addition, as long as judicial files are transferred to the imperial court, it means that judicial power is also transferred.
Cai Yanqing hurriedly said: "As for the dossier, Cai has already prepared it and can send it to President Zhang today."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "In another two days, the imperial court over there will have to undergo some renovations."
Cai Yanqing nodded and said: "Okay! When President Zhang needs it, send someone over and tell me, and I will have someone send it over immediately."
Su Zhe on the side sighed secretly.
Cai Yanqing was eager to transfer the files, obviously because he didn't want to involve them too much.
At this time, an old servant came to the door and said: "Master, the banquet has been prepared."
Cai Yanqing turned his head to look at Zhang Fei and said with a smile: "I heard that President Zhang also created a subject of his own, called the law of law. I wonder if Cai will be lucky enough to ask for advice."
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "How dare you! How dare you! Let Magistrate Cai laugh."
Cai Yanqing said: "Then let's talk while drinking, please!"
"please."
During the dinner, Cai Yanqing never mentioned political affairs and only talked about knowledge. The atmosphere was harmonious, but also very dull.
It was not until the afternoon that Zhang Fei and Su Che said goodbye to Cai Yanqing, got on the carriage and left the government office.
"What do you think, Mr. Su Xiao?"
Zhang Fei asked.
Su Zhe said: "As I imagined, Magistrate Cai will not make things difficult for us, but he will not provide us with much help. After all, he needs the assistance of all parties to manage the Hezhong Mansion."
This is bound to offend people, and Cai Yanqing's main duties are not judicial review, but finance, or even military affairs. His work requires help from others, so it is reasonable to keep a distance from Zhang Fei and the others.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It seems we can only rely on ourselves."
At this moment, someone outside suddenly heard shouting: "Robbery! Robbery!"
The two people immediately opened the car curtain and looked outside, only to see a man shouting and chasing towards an alley.
Then I heard a passerby next to me saying: "What's going on these past two days? I used to not see people being robbed once in half a month, but now I see them twice in one day. This morning I heard that someone's house was robbed last night."
The person next to him said: "I heard that the government officials have no intention of catching thieves recently, so the number of thieves has increased."
"Why?"
"Haven't you heard that the imperial court sent some royal police to replace these government officials? They will soon have no work to do. Do they still have to work hard?"
"Royal Police... Just hearing this name makes people uneasy!"
"Keep your voice down, it will be terrible if others hear you."
...
Lower the car curtains.
Su Che said to Zhang Fei: "When I came here before, this didn't happen."
"It seems they just regard me as their enemy!"
Zhang Fei gave a wry smile and knew in his heart that those in the capital must have only mentioned him in their letters. In fact, this was also the case. He was the core of the entire public security bureaucracy.
Su Zhe comforted him: "That's not necessarily true. If the security of Hezhong Mansion is already very chaotic when I come, wouldn't I tell everyone that the official's decision-making is very wise? After you come, there will be another turmoil."
, then the responsibility can be passed on to the public prosecutor and the law.”
Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "In any case, we don't have much time left."
Su Zhe said: "But Cao Yamen does not have the Royal Police, so we still have to recruit people. I'm afraid we will still be under their control for a while."
Zhang Fei asked: "Are you sure you have found evidence about the Guixiang incident?"
Su Zhe said: "Actually, I have found a key witness, but this witness is not here at the moment. It may take two or three days."
With his temperament, he would not take the initiative to bring it up unless he was certain.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "You have to hurry up. I want to use this to make the imperial court operate. I must make some noise to give those people some shock and at the same time eliminate the people's misunderstanding of us. Perhaps after reviewing this
, General Zhong and the others will also arrive here as soon as possible."
Su Che quickly asked: "It seems that you are confident that you can handle this case well."
Zhang Fei smiled confidently: "This is my responsibility. If we can't handle this well, it won't be long before we have to pack up and leave."
After hearing this, Su Zhe couldn't help but look forward to it, "Okay, I'll try to find the evidence as soon as possible."
