(The title is wrong and the author cannot change it. Chapter 511: Political and legal disputes)
The imperial court, which had been noisy all day, ushered in a quiet morning.
Zhang Fei, who had spent the night with Xu Zhiqian, was in high spirits and sat by the lake with his two lovely wives, enjoying the delicious breakfast.
I have to say that it feels really wonderful to have breakfast here. The environment here is very good, much better than Bianliang City.
Although they are both workaholics, compared to Xu Zhiqian, who is accustomed to living a simple life, Zhang Fei still has some requirements for the quality of life, because in his previous thinking, working hard is also for better enjoyment.
, without much lofty ambitions.
You should enjoy it, you still have to enjoy it.
"By the way! There is a question that I have always wanted to ask you."
Xu Zhiqian suddenly put down her kuaizi and looked at Zhang Fei opposite him expectantly.
"what is the problem?"
Zhang Fei asked casually while eating the delicacies Gao Wenyin brought him attentively.
Xu Zhiqian said: "Yesterday's lawsuit, if you were defending the government, would you have won?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Remember what I told you earlier, there is no lawsuit that you can definitely win in this world, but there is also no lawsuit that you can definitely lose."
"How do you fight?" Xu Zhiqian asked curiously.
Zhang Fei didn't think about it carefully and said: "As far as I know, those salt merchants are not law-abiding people. If it can be found that there is something wrong with one of the salt banknotes, they can use this as an excuse to sell all the salt banknotes."
The evidence of salt banknotes is invalid, and salt banknotes are the key evidence of the contract between the two parties. If there is a problem with the certificate itself, naturally you will not be able to claim compensation, which will at least delay it for a long time."
Xu Zhiqian nodded thoughtfully and said, "You seem to have used this trick when defending the clan."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "But it's a pity that you haven't learned it, let alone mastered it."
Xu Zhiqian said quietly: "I have given up on this a long time ago. I will definitely not be able to defeat you in a lawsuit."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "Justice in your heart is always greater than the law, so how can you win me?"
Gao Wenyin suddenly asked: "Aren't law and justice the same thing?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course not. For example, it is obviously unethical to do nothing to save someone. But in most cases it is not illegal. But if you step on him, even if you don't step on him, he will do it."
Death, but you are also a murderer.
On the other hand, when you choose to act bravely, you may also break the law and be punished."
Gao Wenyin asked in surprise: "Why is this?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "For example, if you see someone being kicked to the ground, and you act bravely and accidentally kill the other person, you may be convicted of manslaughter."
Xu Zhiqian immediately questioned: "If everyone is really sentenced like this, then who will dare to act bravely in the future?"
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "I said it's possible, not everything."
Gao Wenyin said: "I think Sanlang is right. When you see others fighting, you should pull them away instead of helping one party fight the other. This will only add fuel to the fire."
"correct!"
Zhang Fei said: "Being brave should not be based on the original intention of harming others, but to protect the victim. The most correct way is to separate the two parties first, and then call the Royal Police. Once you take action, the nature of the entire incident will change."
Of course, in some emergency situations, it is also possible.”
Xu Zhiqian said: "But this will make others afraid. If the situation is urgent, no one will dare to help."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "It is entirely possible, but if it is not stipulated in this way, the consequences may be more serious. This is why justice must be subordinated to the law. In addition, whether you are afraid or not depends mainly on everyone's understanding of it."
Trust in the judiciary.”
"Third brother! Third brother!"
Li Si suddenly ran over, gasping for air, "Third brother is not good, then... the city gate is closed."
Zhang Fei was confused and said: "What city gate is closed? Please explain it clearly."
Li Si took two deep breaths and said, "That's it. I had planned to go to the city with Xiaotao to buy some vegetables before, but I didn't know... I didn't know that when we went to the city gate that leads directly to our imperial court, we found that the gate
It was not open. I immediately went to inquire about it. They were told that the government had ordered that the city gate would not be opened in the future. If you want to come to our imperial court now, you have to make a long detour from the north gate. The distance is quite long.
Many times more."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "It seems they want to take revenge on us."
Wow! This move is too fast. Zhang Fei asked: "Isn't the city gate under the control of the police station?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Of course not. The city gate belongs to the city defense. How could it be under the control of the police station? It is usually managed by the government and the military, but in wartime it is controlled by the commander-in-chief."
Zhang Fei sighed slightly awkwardly and said: "The road to justice is inherently tortuous. This way it can better demonstrate the value of justice. I believe the people will be willing to take these more steps. There was no road before.
.”
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips and smiled, "What you said sounded like you were comforting yourself."
Zhang Fei said: "Otherwise, what can I do?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "But since they have already launched revenge, it cannot be just that. We must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible."
Gao Wenyin whispered: "Sanlang, as a human being, peace should be the most important thing. Fighting and fighting are not good after all."
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, maybe you don't know that from the beginning to now, they are the ones who are making things difficult for me."
"Really?" Gao Wenyin really didn't know. She usually didn't ask about these official matters, but this matter did seem like Zhang Fei was being aggressive and asked, "Why are they doing this?"
Zhang Fei picked up Kuaizi and picked up a piece of pastry from her bowl, "Because I made them miss a piece of pastry in their bowl, can they not hate me?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "So they will try their best to break our fast son."
Zhang Fei said: "So we have to protect the tachyons in our hands."
After breakfast, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian came to the lobby.
"Teacher! Someone came from the government just now."
Cai Bian and Shangguan both came forward to greet him immediately.
Zhang Fei's heart skipped a beat and he asked, "What's the matter?"
"We don't know yet."
Cai Bian said: "It seems to be about our building a shop in front. My brother is negotiating with that person."
Zhang Fei frowned and said: "That's unreasonable. They can just close the city gate. After all, the city gate is really not under our control. That's the territory of our imperial court. Why should they interfere? Where are they?"
Cai Bian said: "Just in the front hall."
"Walk!"
Zhang Fei said: "I want to see what they want to do."
Before leaving the front hall, Cai Jing came back with a depressed look on his face.
Zhang Fei asked: "Cai Jing, what's going on?"
Cai Jingdao: "As for building shops outside, the government requires us to submit an application first. Only after the government approves it can we be allowed to build shops here."
Zhang Fei said: "Why do they have it? Didn't you tell them that those places belong to our imperial court? No, these are all the territories of the official family, but the official family gave us the name of the imperial court. They have nothing to do with it."
If they have no right to interfere, the land deeds are still in the hands of the officials."
Cai Jingdao: "They said that this is a city defense area. If you want to build houses on a large scale, you must get approval from the government and the military."
Zhang Fei blinked and turned his head to look at Xu Zhiqian, "Is there such a way?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded and said: "Of course, especially near the city wall, any house built must be approved by the government. Even if it is an official house, it must be approved by the Government Hall and the Privy Council, not to mention Hezhong
This is especially true since the government is still an important military area."
Cai Jingdao: "I think if this application is submitted, it will probably fall into the dust. As long as the government does not reject it, we will be helpless."
Zhang Fei blinked and coughed slightly: "Then let's leave it for now."
Ye Zuqia said: "Teacher, if they do this, we will also feel uncomfortable, because except for the judiciary, everything is under their control."
Zhang Fei frowned and said: "Remember before I came here, I told you that we are not here to compromise. This is a tough battle. Now it is our turn to defend. We have to hold on first."
At this moment, Li Si came to the door again and said, "Third brother, Li Min and Zhengwen have something urgent to see."
Cai Jing said: "The government must be investigating them as well."
Zhang Fei had a headache.
After a while, Qiu Zhengwen and Li Min entered the hall.
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Third brother, the government wants to investigate our Legal Aid Office. They say that the litigation rules of Hezhong Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture are different. The Legal Aid Office cannot litigate for people without permission from the government."
Li Min also said depressedly: "President Zhang, just now the government also sent someone to see me, saying they want to review my official documents."
Zhang Fei immediately asked: "Don't you have any official documents?"
Li Min said: "Of course I am worthy, but they said that my official documents were issued by Kaifeng County. There is currently no regulation that says that official documents issued by Kaifeng County can be litigated in Hezhong Prefecture. They have to ask the superiors first.
, before that, the government will not allow me to file another lawsuit."
Xu Zhiqian said: "The Legal Aid Department has obtained the permission of the Political Affairs Hall and the Trial Court. There are official documents from the Political Affairs Hall, and the Hezhong Prefecture has no right to block them. But the official documents from Erbi are indeed under the jurisdiction of the local government, although there is no
The regulations say that cross-government litigation is not allowed, but the court has not yet said that it will unify. Not only that, because of the lawsuit between you and Wang Wenshan last time, the court is still tightening the review of official documents."
Zhang Fei asked: "What should we do now?"
He really doesn't know much about the imperial system.
Xu Zhiqian pondered for a while and said: "The only way is to explain this problem to the court and urge the court to formulate unified regulations."
Cai Bian suddenly said: "If Li Min's qualifications are questioned, what about the previous lawsuit...?"
Li Min nodded and said: "People from the government just hinted at this."
Zhang Fei said: "Since there is no system that says it is not allowed, and Li Min has already participated in this project and has become a part of it, they have no right to divest without absolutely legitimate reasons. I can make the decision."
Having said this, he hesitated for a moment, and then said to Li Min: "But you'd better not take the lawsuit for the time being, or join the Legal Aid Agency first. After all, it will take some time to apply to the court."
As the president of the court, you have to abide by the law. Since it is currently under the jurisdiction of the local government and the court has no relevant regulations, of course it is the local government that has the final say.
Li Min nodded and said: "I understand."
Zhang Fei then said to Qiu Zhengwen: "Zhengwen, you immediately take the official document given by the court and go to the procuratorate to sue the government."
"I see."
After the two of them left, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh, "This is really chaotic step by step. I haven't even considered whether the official document system is perfect."
Regarding the construction of the Public Security Bureau, he has certain powers, but he only has executive power. The formulation of the system must belong to the administration, and the judicial reform is formulated by the Political Affairs Hall and the Criminal Court.
The approval of this official document must be administrative.
With that said, Zhang Fei turned around and ordered Cai Jing and others: "We must quickly write to the court and suggest that the court immediately improve the system of official documents."
Shangguan Jun said: "Should we also submit a letter to the imperial court regarding the construction of city gates and shops?"
Cai Jingdao: "I think it's better not to do it, because this matter is related to city defense. In the imperial court, it is also under the jurisdiction of the San Yamen and the Privy Council. Naturally, they will not be willing to make concessions for the convenience of the public security organs. This will inevitably cause controversy in the court and may cause controversy."
It made the whole thing drag on for a long time.”
The efficiency of the Song Dynasty court is known to all dogs. If you bring the city defense into the conversation, they will all be able to talk about the Jin soldiers going south.
Xu Zhiqian nodded and said: "Cai Dalang's words are reasonable, but this will give people a clue."
Zhang Fei said: "Then let's not mention these things for now."
