After saying this, Zhang Fei stood up and left, as chic as ever.
And this time the verdict was pronounced cleanly and without any hesitation.
Some things cannot be taken seriously, but once you take them seriously, you will find that they are so simple.
Another key point is that when Su Zhe talked about the Minister's Court, the officials began to lie down and did not want to struggle too much. You can judge whatever you like.
Because the government's argument is one point: financial difficulties.
This is indeed the case.
However, the military treasury's expenditure on the Legation makes this argument untenable.
If the fight continues, it will only make them more embarrassed and involve more people.
After all, it is still limited to the Transportation Department and does not target any officials.
What was different from the past was that when Zhang Fei stood up, the officials immediately stood up and walked faster than Zhang Fei, and they were very silent. Everyone walked out with a sullen face and without saying a word.
Chen Qi and Wang Shen felt doubly stressed and sighed secretly, wondering whether they would be able to survive in this officialdom in the future!
Su Che just packed up the article silently, because he knew that this was not the end, and this war had just begun.
The interesting thing is that the soldiers watching the trial in front of the door were also unusually quiet, but they did not leave in a hurry, but stood there thoughtfully.
...
"President Zhang!"
Xu Zhiqian, holding a stack of essays, quickly caught up with Zhang Fei and asked, "Do you think they will obey the sentence?"
Zhang Fei raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I will definitely do it! And it will be very fast. It will definitely break your perception of the efficiency of the government."
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lower lip and said, "That's just to get more soldiers to come and complain."
Zhang Fei nodded, "Those soldiers will definitely continue to wait and see to see if the government will implement the judgment. If it is implemented, they will definitely come to sue, and this is exactly what the officials expect. At this moment, we
It’s the same purpose as them.”
Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly and said quickly: "I didn't know that the Procuratorate would start from the Minister's Office, so I didn't prepare any documents in this regard."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Today's protagonist is the Procuratorate. We can just listen and don't need to work too hard. But having said that, how much do you know about the Minister's Office?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "As for the Minister's Court, Bachelor Sima did not provide us with any relevant documents, but I heard my father mention it before. The Minister's Court has indeed engaged in a lot of extravagance and waste in recent years, but the Minister's Court has indeed helped.
There are many honest officials. I remember there was a county magistrate who couldn't even afford the money to bury his mother. In the end, the Minister's Court had to provide the money."
After saying that, she turned her head and looked at Zhang Fei, "What? Do you want to take advantage of the Minister's Court?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "No! I was just calculating how much money the Embassy owes me, but I haven't used a penny!"
Xu Zhiqian immediately rolled her eyes.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Why is everyone seeking justice and crying for justice? It's because things are rare and valuable! Many things sound irritating, but they are inevitable results and cannot be stopped.
, as long as you don’t go too far.
Judging from the attitude of Manager Tang and others, it is not too extreme at the moment, otherwise, they would not have ignored this flaw."
Xu Zhiqian hummed: "Isn't it too much to take a thousand strings to practice?"
Zhang Fei said: "Without this kind of welfare, who would be willing to run around in the sun and rain for the sake of the official family? The official family can calculate this account more clearly than us. But after this incident, they should restrain themselves a little for the time being.
, unless they drive us away from the public security organs."
While he was talking, Cai Jing suddenly came after him, "Teacher! Deputy Ambassador Zhong wants to see you."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "Why are deputy envoys so anxious to see you?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "He is on the same boat as me now. If I have hidden dangers, he is the most worried."
So he returned to the front hall.
"Deputy Ambassador Zhong is eager to see me. I wonder if I can give you any advice?"
"Where! Where!"
Zhong E cupped his fists and saluted, and immediately said: "Zhong came here mainly to remind President Zhang that this judgment may cause great disaster."
Zhang Fei asked: "How do you say this?"
Zhong E said: "I am quite familiar with the situation in the military camp. The money spent by the Ministerial Court is just a drop in the bucket compared to the entire northwest military expenditure.
The real situation is that the finances are insufficient, so that those officials are racking their brains to make up for this financial shortfall.
In other words, phenomena like Chen Guang's are actually common, especially in Xiangbing barracks, where the vast majority of soldiers need to fend for themselves and cannot make a living just on the meager military pay."
Zhang Fei sighed and said, "I won't hide anything from you, Deputy Envoy. In fact, I know a little bit about this."
Zhong E was stunned for a moment, "Since President Zhang knows, why does he still impose this sentence?"
Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "Because I have no right to interfere with the Procuratorate. This case was initiated by the Procuratorate. I also discussed it with the Procuratorate beforehand. It was the Transportation Department that refused to reconcile. And the Procuratorate provided sufficient evidence, so I could only
The trial was held, and the process was witnessed by Vice-Chancellor Zhong, so I had no choice but to make this verdict."
"So that's what happened."
Zhong E frowned and said, "But this may also be a trap. If they incite all the soldiers to complain, how will President Zhang deal with it?"
Zhang Fei said: "If things are like today and the evidence is conclusive, I can only deal with it impartially."
Zhong E was surprised and said: "Isn't President Zhang afraid that the court will blame you? After all, this will make it very difficult for the court to do this."
He was very anxious because currently, he was tied to the Imperial Court to a certain extent. If the Imperial Court was over, those officials might come to liquidate him.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Thank you Deputy Ambassador Zhong for your concern, but having said that, if I don't judge like this, it will be my dereliction of duty, and I will definitely be impeached. But if I judge like this, then the prime ministers and the transfer envoys will be derelict in their duties."
.
Even if the court wants to blame me, it can't be blamed on me."
Zhong E was stunned for a moment after hearing this. It seemed to make sense, but would the court really blame the prime minister and the transfer envoy?
.......
After those officials left the imperial court, they went directly to the lobby of the government office.
When he came to his own territory, Tang Zhongwen was not as decadent as he was in the imperial court. He became arrogant and arrogant, shouting: "They want all our officials to declare war! Who is the procuratorate? Then Su Ziyou
He is just a fledgling, how dare he do this. Let’s not pay attention to those bullshit sentences and let’s see what they can do.”
"Don't we want to give those soldiers enough military pay? The court raises so many soldiers and doesn't give them enough money and food. Our land tax on Shaanxi Road is far less than that on Southeast Sixth Road. We can only try our best to make up for this shortcoming.
It's okay to leave this dirty work to us, but after we are done, we will be punished. Killing a donkey is not a way to kill us. Even if we go to the court, I'm not afraid."
.......
This time they were really angry, and all of them cursed.
If your court doesn't give you enough money, what do you want us to do? I can't treat myself badly, not just those soldiers.
Since you've already been treated badly, what's the harm in being treated a little better?
Wei Yingfang suddenly said: "You are absolutely right. We cannot continue to do such a thankless job. Therefore, we must resolutely obey the imperial court's decision and pay full compensation to Chen Guang."
Tang Zhongwen was surprised and said: "How can Wei Tongpan say this?"
Wei Yingfang just smiled.
Tang Zhongwen was stunned for a moment, and just slapped his forehead, "Hey, you! Look, I have been smeared by Qi Lake. Yes, yes, yes, I should compensate you in full, not even a penny less."
Cai Yanqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Yuan Jiang, "What do you think, Bachelor Yuan?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the two elders.
Yuan Jiang nodded and said: "I think what Wei Tongpan said is very reasonable. Let's discuss the matter. The imperial court also made a judgment according to the law. There is no fault in its judgment. Since we have to follow the law, then we also have to ask the court for sufficient military pay and military pay according to the law.
The amount of troops is determined by the imperial court, and the number of soldiers to be recruited is also determined by the imperial court. Naturally, the military expenditure cannot be spared at all."
Wei Yingfang said excitedly: "What Bachelor Yuan said is absolutely right, not a penny should be missed."
The other officials also nodded.
If we want to get to the root of this problem, we must first ask the imperial court to replenish the money. If the imperial court does not provide the full amount, then we will ignore it.
Let the Public Security Bureau find the money!
Yuan Jiang added: "But having said that, we can't let others bully us."
He Chunlin asked curiously: "How can Bachelor Yuan say this?"
Yuan Jiang said: "According to the imperial court's judgment, Chen Guang's debts must be borne by us, but it did not say how much we should pay, and how the interest of dozens of dollars was calculated. We must send
Go talk to them personally."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
this....
You actually still remember this?
Wei Yingfang said sarcastically: "Bachelor Yuan, this is just a trivial matter."
Yuan Jiang frowned and said: "This is not a trivial matter. More people may ask for compensation in the future, and we want to show the accounts to the court to seek justice for ourselves.
If the imperial court discovers that each person earns dozens of dollars in interest, and the imperial court does not ask for such a large amount of compensation, think about what the imperial court will think then. It will definitely think that we are fishing in troubled waters and misappropriating public property.
If the court uses this to blame us, the gains outweigh the losses!"
Everyone nodded again and again.
"Bachelor Yuan is very considerate, we really have to guard against this!"
"That Zhang San is really insidious. He didn't even mention the specific amount of compensation. Maybe this is a trap."
"The key point is that the interest is indeed illegal. If the court wants to compensate us like this, the court will definitely blame us. The most we can do is bear the legal interest."
"Please rest assured, Bachelor Yuan, I will send someone to talk about this matter, and there will never be any problems."
"There's Lawway."
Cai Yanqing glanced at Yuan Jiang and thought, do they still want to use this to solve the problem of loan sharking? Are they killing two birds with one stone again?
The second day.
Only one night has passed.
The imperial court first sent 30 guan of pension, 10 guan of reward, 5 guan of interest money, 45 guan of payment, and the title deed of six acres of land to the imperial court.
"Li Yasi, there is actually no need to be in such a hurry."
Zhang Fei smiled and said to Li Yongji.
Li Yongji said: "This matter is the negligence of our transshipment department, and our transshipment envoy also hopes to resolve it as soon as possible."
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Then say thank you to Bachelor Yuan for me."
Li Yongji added: "As for Chen Guang's debt problem, we are also willing to bear it, but the other party's interest is obviously illegal. In this case, how does President Zhang think we should solve it?"
Zhang Fei said: "You can file an appeal, or you can invite the other party to the imperial court to discuss a solution."
Li Yongji nodded and said: "We understand, excuse me. Farewell!"
Zhang Fei said: "Cai Jing, send Li Yasi off for me."
“Free delivery!”
Li Yongji bowed his hands and turned around to leave.
Cai Jing didn't intend to give them away. He looked at the coins and said, "Teacher, this looks like poison!"
"But it could also be a cure."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Go to the procuratorate and ask the procuratorate to give the money to Chen Guang. This is their credit, we don't care about it."
