Seeing Su Zhe enter the house, Chen Qi, Wang Shen and others immediately put down what they were doing.
"Prosecutor, how was the discussion?"
"Everything has been settled."
Su Zhe nodded and said: "I have also discussed with President Zhang. From now on, we only need to submit the list and evidence, and the imperial court will ask the transportation department for its opinion. If there are no problems, the judgment will be based on this example without any special exceptions."
If this is the case, there is no need to hold another court hearing.”
Chen Qi said: "But in the future, the government may not provide the soldiers with much evidence."
The reason why those five hundred soldiers went so smoothly before was because the military camp and the military database took the initiative to hand over the evidence to them.
Su Che smiled and said: "In the future, we can just go directly to the military asset bank to investigate."
It's said in a calm way.
Today is different from the past.
The Public Security Bureau has completely stood up. The government will definitely not dare to make things difficult for the Procuratorate for the time being, and it is unlikely that they will tamper with the accounts, because those previous accounts involved corruption to some extent, but the Public Security Bureau did not go there.
Investigate.
Wouldn't it be foolish to still tamper with the accounts?
The imperial court just doesn't settle old accounts, but if you tamper with them, it will be a new account.
Chen Qi, Wang Shen and others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
It can be regarded as getting through this most difficult stage.
Su Che suddenly asked: "That's right! How many people have come to give up the prosecution?"
Chen Qi and Wang Shen looked at each other.
"Prosecutor General, you might as well take a guess." Chen Qi said with a profound smile.
Su Zhe muttered for a moment, "About a thousand people."
Chen Qi smiled bitterly and said: "It will be doubled."
"Two thousand people?"
Su Che said in shock.
At present, they have only harvested 5,000 pieces of paper, which is nearly half.
Wang Shen hurriedly explained: "It's not that there are 2,000 related households among the 5,000 petition papers. There are about a hundred related households with military registration. The rest are those with guilty consciences. They usually only have three days.
Fishing, drying the nets for two days, not doing their job properly, seeing how tense the relationships among the people were, made them all feel scared."
Su Che laughed, "In other words, among the five thousand people, there are more than two thousand black sheep?"
Chen Qi nodded, "Most of those who can really fight are concentrated on the sidelines. The Forbidden Army of Hezhong Mansion is indeed!"
Su Che murmured to himself: "That's right! We did the right thing! If we don't disarm, the country will be in danger."
This is really terrible.
In fact, some forces have already explained this point. During the Qingli period, during the battle between the Song Dynasty and Xixia, the Forbidden Army suffered repeated defeats, and the best record was the militia recruited from the border.
This is why Wang Anshi wants to promote the Baojia Law. The core of the Baojia Law is to use militiamen on a large scale.
at dusk.
Several drunken men staggered out of a tavern.
"Hey, hey! What guests, you haven't paid yet?"
A bartender chased him out.
"What?"
A man with big muscles and a round waist suddenly turned around and glared at the guy, "I'm in a bad mood today. You little bird, don't make me angry, or I might break your hand?"
The bartender was startled, and tears were already welling up in his eyes. He trembled and said, "I just want to remind you, brothers, that this drink money is worth it!"
The man immediately grabbed the bartender and raised his left arm with a fist as big as a casserole.
"Brother, please forgive me!"
The bartender was so frightened that he closed his eyes and screamed.
But after a moment, the fist did not come down. He opened his eyes slightly, and saw a dark-skinned boy holding the big man's wrist, and immediately said in surprise: "Sergeant Ma."
The person who came was none other than Ma Xiaoyi.
"Royal police?"
The big man's hazy drunken eyes were full of disdain.
Ma Xiaoyi enjoyed the excited look in the bartender's eyes and wrote lightly: "Let him go, I'll practice a few moves with you."
Upon hearing this, the big man suddenly pushed the bartender forward and kicked Ma Xiaoyi. Ma Xiaoyi turned sideways and immediately threw the big man over his shoulder, throwing the big man two or three meters away and falling heavily to the ground.
Seeing that something was wrong, the three people around them turned around and tried to escape. They were directly stopped by Zhou Jia and the others, and they were all knocked to the ground with three strikes.
"The Royal Police beat someone!"
"Ouch! My hand is broken."
"Ouch! The Royal Police beat someone."
These drunkards seemed to be experienced drivers. They reacted extremely quickly and immediately started crying at the top of their lungs.
Ma Xiaoyi, Zhou Jia and other five royal policemen all took a step back and watched silently.
The drunkards thought they were scared, so they immediately rolled on the ground and continued shouting.
For a moment, people in the tavern and neighbors gathered around. They didn't know the situation, so they immediately pointed at Ma Xiaoyi and the others and whispered.
This man is so strong and cowardly.
A drunk man suddenly stood up, and Ma Xiaoyi kicked him directly on the knee. With a snap, the drunk man immediately knelt down.
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Squat down and keep shouting for help."
The onlookers immediately looked at the Royal Police in horror.
A scholar stepped forward and said, "How can you Royal Police commit murder?"
But Ma Xiaoyi turned his head and glanced at him, and the scholar was so frightened that he took a step back.
Ma Xiaoyi ignored him, but stared at the drunkards with an expressionless face, and continued shouting, "Let more people come to speak out for you. Do you think I'm afraid or not?"
When those drunkards saw that the Royal Police were completely unafraid of words and were more ruthless than them, they immediately cried out: "Police, please spare your life! Please spare your life!"
"It's worthless!"
Ma Xiaoyi tilted his head and said, "Take them all back."
Several royal police officers immediately stepped forward and pushed them all to the ground. Then they quickly tied them all together with a noose and led them towards the police station.
Let the melon-eating masses follow what others say.
On the second floor diagonally opposite the wine cabinet, there was a window open, and several figures crowded in front of the window, watching the movement on the other side.
It was not until Ma Xiaoyi and the others left that the window was closed.
But I saw three or five people sitting inside. In addition to Wei Yingfang, Cao Yi, He Chunlin, and Fan Meng, there was also a young man wearing an auxiliary police uniform.
This man's name was Li Kun. He was originally a government official and a confidant of Wei Yingfang. Later, he was specially transferred to the police station.
Fan Meng took a sip of wine and cursed: "This group of worthless guys can't even beat a young boy."
Li Kun said hurriedly: "Calm down your anger. In fact, this has nothing to do with them. Those royal policemen are all good soldiers picked from the military camp, and their martial arts are very good."
Cao Yi frowned and said, "We seemed to have ignored this police station before."
Li Kun said: "Judge Cao is right. Now the police station has expanded to 3,000 people. When our Hezhong government office had the most police officers, it was less than one-third."
He Chunlin was surprised: "They recruited so many people?"
Li Kun nodded and said: "There have been seven police stations in the city alone, and now there are at least one branch in each township outside the city."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
They had been keeping an eye on the Procuratorate and the Imperial Court, but they did not expect that the police station had expanded to such a scale.
Fan Meng suddenly said to He Chunlin: "This police station has so many people, does your transportation department have so much money to give them?"
He Chunlin said: "Only the first two or three hundred people were recruited from the government offices, and the rest were all recruited from government offices and military camps. The imperial court stipulated that the police station would recruit as many people as they wanted.
Military pay and salary are transferred to the police station. This is an order from the officials, we dare not disobey it!"
Fan Meng scratched his head and said: "Now that the public security organs, prosecutors, law enforcement, civil and military officials are equipped, it is becoming more and more difficult to deal with them."
Wei Yingfang said worriedly: "It seems that if you want to deal with the public prosecutor, you have to use the struggle in the court to make a fuss."
Cao Yi nodded and said: "Wei Tong's judgment is reasonable. The purpose of Wang Xueshi's new law is to make money for the country. Making money will inevitably compete with the people. We can focus on this and use the imperial court to stop the new law."
Wei Yingfang asked: "How many landowners are willing to lower interest rates to block the Young Crops Law?"
Cao Yi shook his head and said: "Not much yet. They want to see the situation before talking. After all, the Green Crops Law has not been officially implemented yet. In addition, they are more thinking about the autumn tax, so we can also pass the autumn tax."
, to make them feel grudge against the Public Security Bureau, and use this to persuade them to unite to deal with Qingmiao Law."
Wei Yingfang nodded.
He Chunlin said: "Wait a minute, we can't make the same mistake again and completely allow the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law to develop their own power, especially the police station and the thousands of royal police. Aren't you worried?"
Wei Yingfang asked: "Then what are your countermeasures?"
He Chunlin said: "Those drunkards just shouted for help below. Although it didn't work, we can let them go to the imperial court to shout for help. Didn't I say before that the public prosecutor and the law have checks and balances on each other, and those drunkards should also do the same."
You can sue the police department.”
Fan Meng nodded and said: "Old He is right, it is not okay for the Royal Police to be so arrogant."
Over there, Ma Xiaoyi led the drunken men to the police station, where they saw bright lights and cries of mourning.
The drunkards took a closer look and saw only fifty or sixty people tied together and thrown in a corner. Their faces were all red, but their hair was wet.
What's even worse is that they actually recognize most of the fifty or sixty people.
These are all brothers who have just come out of the camp!
As soon as I left the military camp, I entered the police station.
This life situation is simply unparalleled.
"Brother Xiaochun, isn't my brother here?"
Ma Xiaoyi came to the hall, looked at the frowning Fu Shichun and asked.
Fu Shichun glanced at him and said, "Seeing that business is so good today, that guy also went out to look for business."
Ma Xiaoyi sighed: "Actually, it's not that good. These people may seem to be powerful, but they are all a bunch of losers. They can't even survive three moves."
Fu Shichun said: "That's why that guy was able to go out. If there was really any danger, huh, how could he go so fast? But if you arrest so many people, how will I arrange it? Those cells have already been filled up.
, and now there’s almost no room for it in this courtyard.”
Ma Xiaoyi blinked, "What should we do?"
These two idiots only care about their prestige and don't care about the consequences. They really piss me off. However, it seems that our police station can't hide it anymore. Fu Shichun thought for a while and said: "After recording the confession, throw it together to the imperial court
Bar."
The next day.
"Wow, so many papers here again?"
"Teacher, these were sent from the police station this morning."
Ye Zu just said feebly.
They still have a lot of cases that they haven't dealt with, and it's really scary to have so many here!
Zhang Fei was shocked, frowned and asked: "How come the public security has suddenly become so chaotic?"
He was afraid that someone was doing something secretly.
Cai Jing seemed to see the teacher's concern and said hurriedly: "Teacher, it's not what you think. It's just that recently the military camp has laid off many soldiers who were eating and drinking. These soldiers are no different from the rogues. Many of them
After leaving the military camp, I felt depressed and started causing trouble everywhere."
Zhang Fei said: "Are you sure there is no one behind this?"
Cai Jing immediately said: "I specifically asked the police station. The incident process at that time did not seem like someone was instigating them to cause trouble."
"Well done!" Zhang Fei praised Cai Jing, and then took a look at the confession.
Shangguan Jun said: "Teacher, Director Fu has specifically told us that their police station will soon be unable to accommodate the room. We hope that our imperial court will hear the verdict as soon as possible."
Ye Zuqia said: "Actually, such cases are trivial and can be decided by their police stations themselves. They don't need to come to our imperial court for them all."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Although what you said makes sense, it is not feasible for the time being. Only after a public trial can the police department be free to enforce the law, and at the same time, the people will not be too afraid of the Royal Police."
Ye Zuqia said depressedly: "But we already have a lot of thorny lawsuits to deal with, and there are so many here, can we finish them?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's just a lot to look at. It can be done in one day tomorrow. There is no need to prepare anything. You should continue to look at other lawsuits. Shangguan Jun, you first make a schedule for tomorrow's court hearing, and then Cai Jing goes to the police station.
Let them know."
"yes."
"in addition!"
Zhang Fei said: "I will only judge tomorrow. In the future, you will be the judge of such cases. I will give you practice. You cannot rely on me as the chief judge."
Except for Cai Jing, the other three people suddenly looked happy.
