Chapter 501 To make justice cheap

 The personalities of Gao Wenyin and Xu Zhiqian are basically completely opposite. Fortunately, one is weak and the other is strong, so they can complement each other without conflict.

But one thing the two women are very similar is that their biological clocks are quite on time.

No matter how many times we fought hard last night, we must open our eyes on time in the morning.

At this time, the sky was still slightly bright.

Gao Wenyin, who was lying in Zhang Fei's arms, slowly opened her eyes, secretly glanced up at Ai Lang, who was still sleeping soundly, and raised two happy dimples at the corners of her mouth. For the first time, she closed her eyes again, still lightly.

He nuzzled into Zhang Fei's arms.

After a while, she opened her eyes again and gently took away Zhang Fei's hand from her body. When she was about to sit up, a hand suddenly pulled her into his arms again.

Then Zhang Fei was heard muttering to himself: "Sleep a little longer."

Holding Gao Wenyin's graceful and soft body is undoubtedly a very enjoyable thing, which always makes people reluctant to get up.

Gao Wenyin raised her hands and took the initiative to hug Zhang Fei, raised her head slightly, and said softly: "But today I have to go to the garden to take care of those flowers."

It actually has a hint of coquettishness.

Zhang Fei was gently pressed by the two big balls of cotton and immediately relaxed. He couldn't resist Gao Wenyin's move at all. He opened his eyes and said, "Then I will go with you."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "No, you are very tired these days. Last night... you just need to sleep a little longer."

Zhang Fei immediately opened his eyes and said seriously: "What happened last night? Hey... But you begged for mercy first, but I'm not tired at all."

Xu Zhiqian and I had a mandarin duck bath at noon yesterday, so naturally we had to spend time with Gao Wenyin in the evening.

We need equal public opinion!

Gao Wenyin's face suddenly turned red, and she said angrily: "Don't be poor, just sleep a little longer, and I'll go to the garden to have a look."

"A bed without you wouldn't be worth remembering."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "Let me go to the garden with you."

Of course Gao Wenyin was willing, her eyes were full of joy, and she said angrily: "Then why don't you get up."

"Come on, come on! Husband, help you get dressed."

"Ah! What are you doing, other than getting dressed? Why are you...!"

"Yes, yes, it's about dressing. Why did I think of taking off my clothes?"

...

After spending a wonderful morning walking around the garden with Gao Wenyin, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian went to the lobby to have a meeting with Cai Jing and others.

The two women, one who works outside and one who works inside, are perfect complements to Zhang Fei, allowing him to concentrate on his career and not have to worry about trivial matters at all.

"Have you eaten everything?"

Zhang Fei sat down and asked them.

Such a considerate and gentle teacher made Cai Jing and others stunned.

After a while, Cai Jing replied: "Thank you very much for your concern, teacher. We have all... eaten."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Where to eat?"

"Go...go to town for something to eat."

The four of them were all very curious as to why the teacher was so interested in this breakfast topic today.

Even Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Are you going to eat or to show off?"

The four of them had awkward smiles on their faces at the same time.

"You really can't hide anything from the teacher." Ye Zuqia scratched his forehead in embarrassment.

Zhang Fei chuckled: "Why are you so shy? This is human nature, so what do the people think of it?"

The four of them immediately cheered up.

You say something, I say something.

All in all, all in all, there are words of praise for the Imperial Court and the Chief Justice everywhere.

After these two lawsuits, the people experienced first-hand the differences between imperial court trials and previous government trials.

Zhang Fei just smiled slightly at this, "Maybe it won't be long before the people will take the initiative to walk into our imperial court, hoping that we can help them get justice. Therefore, our imperial court must be built quickly, and this is the theme of our meeting today."

What are your thoughts on this?"

In fact, the Imperial Court has always been in a semi-open state, in a prototype state, and has not yet formed a complete body. If a large number of lawsuits suddenly appear, the Imperial Court will not be able to cope with it, and Zhang Fei will have to build the Imperial Court quickly.

The four people first communicated with their eyes, and Shangguan Jun said: "The students thought that the imperial court could be divided into large, medium and small to handle eucalyptus of different sizes."

Cai Bian and Ye Zuqia also nodded.

This is how the Kaifeng Mansion was set up, with the left and right halls, the envoy's courtyard, the government courtyard, the left and right military patrol courtyards, and the left and right Xiangong.

Cai Jing rolled his eyes and said: "I remember the teacher once said in class that the reason why people dare not go to the government for litigation is because the government only punishes but lacks protection. Students think that they can be classified by punishment. When it comes to the attribution of punishment,

As a category, if there is no punishment involved, they are classified as one category.”

Zhang Fei immediately gave Cai Jing an approving look and said, "It seems that Cai Jing is the only one who is taking the class seriously and thinking seriously."

“…!”

The other three people suddenly looked embarrassed.

Zhang Fei said: "Human energy is limited, and talent is also limited. In addition, practice makes perfect, that is, experience. If, like the Kaifeng Mansion, it is purely based on size, then the requirements for the president of the court are:

Extremely high, for example, a fight between two people and failure to pay back money are both minor offenses, but the nature is completely different."

At this point, he wanted to ask the four of them: "Can you handle different types of small gums? Or do you think these small gums can be dealt with casually."

All four of them remained silent.

Although they are confident, they are still new to the industry and do not dare to be arrogant.

Zhang Fei continued: "It can be seen that dividing the imperial court according to the nature of the case is a more professional arrangement, and professionalism will get twice the result with half the effort. The punishment Cai Jing just mentioned is very worthy of reference.

We can divide the imperial court into civil and criminal. One advantage of this division is that when people enter the civil imperial court, they will not feel any fear because they know that there is no punishment involved. If they are all mixed together, then

People will still feel afraid."

Several people nodded at the same time, feeling that this arrangement could promote the construction of legal systems.

Zhang Fei continued: "Among these two categories, they can be divided by size. However, we are currently short of manpower and cannot classify them in such detail. However, we can also use different chief judges to hear different categories.

You should try the cases that you are good at trying. Now that you are just starting out, don’t think of everything. First, choose the regulations that you are most interested in and familiar with, and specialize in one.

Those who know everything but are not good at everything are not the talents our imperial court needs, because one case may involve the lives of two or even more people, so you must find the right direction."

The four of them nodded.

"Thank you teacher for your guidance. The students understand."

"Exception from the master!"

Zhang Fei turned his head and looked at Xu Zhiqian, "The chief clerk does not need to be good at everything, but he must be able to do everything."

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "I understand, President Zhang."

She is really not good at anything, but she is good at everything.

Zhang Fei asked again: "Then the question is, regarding General Zhong's case, do you think it is criminal or civil?"

"criminal."

The four of them said in unison.

Zhang Fei said: "According to the concept of legal system, it should be criminal, because it will definitely endanger the interests of the country and the monarch, not the interest relationship between the two."

At this point, he changed the topic and said: "But this is different from ordinary murders. This murder will directly involve the core interests of the monarch and the country. Any carelessness may cause the country to suffer heavy losses. This is a serious matter."

Therefore, such cases must be tried in a more professional manner, so a separate imperial court should be established for this purpose, which can be named the Military Imperial Court, to specifically hear cases related to the military."

Shangguan Jun said: "But the Song Dynasty's regulations on this aspect are very simple. Generally speaking, it is decided by the officials and the political affairs hall. I'm afraid it will not be easy to try."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I have specifically read the regulations on military law. They are relatively general, but also comprehensive. They are basically taken into account. We have the power to supplement the details.

In addition, there is corruption of officials, which must also have a special imperial court to try, but after all, this does not happen every day, and does not need to be permanent. When encountering corruption, it can be temporarily re-established, so it is also possible

cut costs.

By the way, speaking of cost, what do you think about how the Imperial Court should charge?"

Xu Zhiqian was the first to say: "I think the poor can charge less, or even not charge at all, in the lawsuits of the poor, and the rich can charge more in the lawsuits."

Cai Jing immediately said: "Master Xu is right. We can set a minimum charging standard. On this basis, we can charge 10% or 20% according to the money involved. As for murder cases,

We can charge the relevant fees with the fines imposed on the murderers."

Zhang Fei looked at Shangguan Jun and Ye Zuqia again.

Both of them nodded in agreement.

Zhang Fei smiled and asked: "What? Do you think you can make money from this?"

Cai Jing said sarcastically: "Students don't dare, but it is reasonable to charge legal fees. After all, we also need to spend money to hold court, as long as the fees are reasonable."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "No matter how big or small, everything is free."

Xu Zhiqian opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Fei.

When did Zhang Fei become more benevolent and righteous than himself?

Cai Jing and others looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

Litigation fees have always been there, and the litigation fees in Kaifeng Prefecture are very high, and there is no specific standard. In short, it just depends on the collection. This is one of the reasons why people are reluctant to file a lawsuit.

Zhang Fei said: "Everyone likes high-quality and cheap things, but if justice becomes expensive, only a few people can afford it. And going to court is not about buying food. You can sell it for a few kilograms for a few cents."

, it’s better to make it all free and let people complain, there is no threshold.”

Ye Zuqia immediately said: "But if this happens, people may come to the imperial court to complain about anything. This... this is not appropriate."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Therefore, our imperial court has to set up a special mediation tribunal. Some disputes that cannot meet the standards for hearings will be handled by the mediation tribunal to save costs.

You must understand that for us, what we lack most is talent and experience, so handling a large number of cases will help supplement experience, cultivate talents, and help people get used to solving problems through litigation."

They are all in the growth stage, and they have to endure hardships at this stage. In fact, what judges have no knack for is experience, which is all free. At this stage, it is very conducive to the development of the public prosecutor and the judiciary.

Cai Bian said: "But this will also cause a financial burden."

Zhang Fei said: "A state with a fair judiciary will definitely have better finances than a state with a corrupt judiciary. The benefits we bring to the country are invisible on the surface. In fact, the court will soon feel it and is willing to allocate funds to us."

."

Cai Bian nodded and said: "Teacher is right, the tax exemption is the income obtained from fair trials. Compared with the expenditure of the imperial court at that time, it was just a drop in the bucket."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "That's it. If we can make everyone abide by the tax laws, the imperial court will definitely not be stingy with us. But one thing is that the imperial court's expenditures must also have detailed regulations, and they must be

It is reasonable and must be able to promote the development of justice, which is the most critical thing.

For example, there were no fees for witnesses to appear in court before, but this was not appropriate because it would make the witnesses unwilling to appear in court. Why should I delay my own livelihood for other people's affairs? Therefore, we must provide some carriages and horses for witnesses.

Food and accommodation expenses.”

Everyone felt excited and felt like Alexander.

Getting people to pay taxes fairly is undoubtedly the most difficult thing!

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "Do you feel a lot of pressure?"

The four of them nodded at the same time.

Zhang Fei said: "It is not a skill to ask the people to pay the legal fees. The real skill is to make the court willingly allocate funds. Only then can we prove that the public prosecutor's law is absolutely correct."
