"Third brother! Hold on! Kaifeng Mansion is just ahead, third brother, third brother..."
Li Si supported Zhang Fei, who seemed to be dying, and limped along the street, shouting and tears falling down.
"What happened to these two people?"
"Look at their bruised noses and swollen faces. They must have been robbed."
"Eh? Then... isn't that Erbi Zhang San?"
"Ah! It's really Zhang San and Li Si."
"It seems they are going to Kaifeng Mansion."
"Let's go and see what's going on?"
......
Kaifeng Mansion.
It is now afternoon, and seeing that the office is about to be dismissed, the yamen at the door gradually become a little absent-minded and start chatting, like primary school students looking forward to the end of school.
One of the officials breathed a long sigh of relief: "Alas...it's finally our turn to take a vacation."
Another official said: "I should have let him go a long time ago. It's all because of Zhang San."
"Forget about that Zhang San, I don't want to see him again."
"You can't see him now even if you want to. He can't even go to court now. Why is he here? Why should he go to jail?"
"Zhang...Zhang San?"
"Who are you trying to scare? I won't be fooled by you."
"No. Look, it's really...it's really Zhang San."
The officer pointed forward and trembled his lips.
The other yamen officer then looked back and saw a pig-headed boy walking over with someone on his arm. It was none other than Zhang Fei.
Behind him were more than 20 or 30 people, looking up curiously.
"Quick...quickly inform the prefect that Zhang San is here."
The police officer at the door is really like facing a formidable enemy.
After a while, Li Si helped Zhang Fei to the front door of the government office.
The officer who was left behind pointed at Zhang Fei and said, "Zhang San, why are you here?"
Zhang Fei, who was still dying just now, slowly raised his head and looked at the Yamen Chai with blurred eyes. The arm hanging on Li Si's shoulder swayed left and right, "Hello, Brother Chai!"
The Yamen official said angrily: "I will feel bad when I see you."
"Brother Chao, please forgive me. Actually, I didn't want to come here, but you have also seen that we are seriously injured now...!"
The officer saw that Li Si had a bruised nose and a swollen face. Although Zhang Fei only had a bruise on his cheek, he covered his abdomen with one hand and couldn't even stand. He seemed to be injured more seriously and felt extremely happy!
You deserve it!
Your boy also has today.
Heaven! Earth! Which fairy sister has appeared.
I heard Zhang Fei continue to say: "...why we were seriously injured is because we were beaten up just now. If this kind of thing happened in Kyoto of the Song Dynasty, I believe it was not the fault of Magistrate Lu."
I want to see it, so...!"
While he was telling the story, Li Si secretly moved his steps and was already in front of the Dengwen Drum.
When he picked up the drumstick, the yamen officer realized what he was doing. His face turned pale with fright, and he raised his hands and feet, "Stop...!"
It was too late, Zhang Fei picked up the drumstick and hit the drum hard.
Bang bang bang!
The drums sound.
The crowd behind them suddenly became energetic.
Zhang San came to Kaifeng Mansion again.
There's something good to watch this time.
Inside the house.
At this time, Mr. Lu was busy handling some official duties and was about to go on vacation. Suddenly he heard the sound of drums outside the mansion, and he couldn't help but be surprised, "Who is playing the drums?"
For some reason, the first thing that came to his mind was Zhang Fei, but then he thought that it was impossible for Zhang Fei to play drums now.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw a yamen officer running to the door, cupping his fists and saying: "Report to the prefect, that Zhang San is here again."
"Really Zhang San?"
Lu Gongzhu stood up suddenly. Even for a fair and strict official like him, he couldn't stand this guy.
Come and play the drum at every turn...!
I really treat Kaifeng Mansion as a toilet.
The key point is that Zhang San no longer has the right to litigate.
But when he saw Zhang San and Li Si coming in supporting each other, he couldn't help but be startled, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Fei pulled his belt, revealing the huge shoe print on his abdomen, and said: "Report to the prefect, we were beaten."
Well done!
The thoughts of everyone here.
Including Lu Gong's works.
The head clerk Huang Gui frowned and said: "Who told you that if you are beaten, you can go to Kaifeng Mansion to play drums?"
You really can’t beat the drum in Kaifeng Mansion randomly.
In the case of Li Siyi, Zhang Fei did not play the drum.
Kaifeng Prefecture should correspond to the city government. Mr. Lu is more responsible for the mayor, but he also serves as the president of the Supreme Court of Kaifeng Prefecture.
However, within the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, there are as many as five courts with many judges. Whether it is a civil dispute or a criminal case, they usually go to those five courts.
After they finished the trial and gave the verdict, Lu Gongzhu reviewed it again. If there were no errors or omissions, the verdict was announced.
The process is roughly the same.
Lu Gongzhu's main responsibilities are farmland water conservancy and economic and people's livelihood, not solving cases. Unless it involves officials or major criminal cases, Lu Gongzhu will personally try them.
Li Si's case should not have come to Kaifeng Mansion in the first place, but Mr. Lu also wanted to touch Zhang Fei at that time. In addition, Zhang Fei's many tricks aroused public resentment, so he tried it personally.
Zhang Fei said feebly: "The common people know this, but the Kaifeng Prefecture has something to do with the beating this time, and the prefect is also one of the parties involved, so the common people can only come here to seek redress from the prefect."
Is it related to me? Lu Gongzhu asked curiously: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "Yesterday, Xiaomin had just moved out of the Xu Mansion. As soon as he stepped into his new home, several masked men covered him with sacks and beat him severely."
Lu Gongzhu asked: "What does this have to do with Kaifeng Mansion?"
Zhang Fei said: "Xiaomin first arrived in Bianjing not long ago. He didn't know many people, and he offended only a handful of people. That is, he filed a lawsuit for Li Si. And this lawsuit was fought in Kaifeng Mansion, and in the end it was
Kaifeng Mansion mediated, but the result was that the common people were attacked and retaliated not long after. If this spread, who would dare to come to Kaifeng Mansion to complain."
Lu Gongzhu's expression gradually changed and became solemn, "You mean Chen Yuteng sent someone to beat you?"
Zhang Fei shook his head.
Lu Gong said: "Then what do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "I think Wang Sinong found someone to beat me."
"Wang Sinong?"
Mr. Lu said in surprise.
"Yes."
"What evidence do you have?" Lu Gongzhu asked.
Zhang Fei said: "When Xiaomin was defending Li Si, Wang Sinong came to see Xiaomin and threatened Xiaomin. However, Xiaomin did not agree to him at that time and angrily accused him of breaking the law knowingly."
Lu Gongzhu frowned and said, "Why didn't you say it then?"
If this is the case, then Zhang Fei certainly has the right to come here to beat the drum and complain, which not only involves revenge, but also involves the court ministers.
Zhang Fei sighed: "For ordinary people, it is natural to hope that one thing is worse than one thing less!"
Really? How could Mr. Lu believe it? He asked again: "Do you have any evidence?"
Zhang Fei said: "It was broad daylight, someone must have seen it."
Lu Gongzhu pondered for a moment and said: "But even so, it cannot prove that Wang Sinong has threatened you."
Zhang Fei said: "Yes! Wang Sinong specially came to see me, a man from Erbi who has never been masked before, to drink tea and chat."
Lu Gongzhu hummed: "Stop talking glibly here, I will find out on my own."
Zhang Fei said: "This is exactly what the people expect."
When it comes to Wang Sinong, Lu Gongzhu cannot be ignored.
The judiciary of the Song Dynasty actually tacitly allowed people to sue officials, because there were no legal provisions prohibiting it. There may be differences in local areas, but Kaifeng Prefecture has many precedents, and Kaifeng Prefecture also attaches great importance to such cases.<
/p>
The reason is simple. There are scholar-bureaucrats everywhere in Bianjing. If the Kaifeng Prefecture cannot make decisions for the people, who will take the Kaifeng Prefecture seriously? This also involves a power issue.
As Zhang Fei said, his beating may be a continuation of Li Siyi's case, and Lu Gongzhu, who was the original mediator, is naturally responsible.
So Lu Gongzhu first asked Huang Gui to take Zhang Fei to record the confession.
As soon as Zhang Fei was taken down, General Judge Li Kai came here in a hurry, "Did you hear that Zhang San is here again?"
Lu Gong wrote: "The confession is being recorded."
Li Kai wondered: "Isn't he qualified to go to court to litigate now?"
Lu Gong wrote: "He is here to complain, not to argue."
"Sue? Who?"
"Wang Sinong."
Lu Gongzu told Li Kai the whole story.
Li Kaidao: "I think he is really tired of living. With what he said, why should he accuse Wang Sinong of committing murder and hurting others? If Wang Sinong is angered and no conclusive evidence can be found, they will accuse him of frame-up. This crime
But it’s even bigger.”
Lu Gongzhu sighed: "It is precisely because it involves Wang Sinong and is related to Li Siyi's case that I decided to accept the case. As for the outcome, it depends on whether we can find evidence. We just need to deal with it impartially." Li Kai smiled bitterly and said: "How can we check this? That kid didn't even see clearly who hit him."
Lu Gongzhu pondered for a while and said: "You first go to Wang Sinong's house and ask him whether he went to see Zhang San during the trial of Li Siyi's case."
......
"Ms. Xu!"
Zhang Fei and Li Si finished recording their confessions, and as soon as they left the house, they saw Xu Zhiqian rushing over.
"You...how did you become like this?"
When Xu Zhiqian saw the pig-headed Li Si, she couldn't help but be shocked.
It only took a blink of an eye.
When Zhang Fei saw this woman, he was so angry that he said, "You have such a crow's mouth."
Crow's mouth?
Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, then thought of what she said in the morning, and couldn't help but smile.
"You're still laughing, ouch!"
Zhang Fei was so angry that he didn't pay attention for a while and pulled the wound again.
Xu Zhiqian hummed softly: "If I had this ability, you wouldn't know how many times you would die."
"Wow... What a woman has the most poisonous heart!"
"Okay! You are so injured and still talk nonsense. Let's go to my house and stay."
......
Xu Mansion.
How happy I was when I left this morning, how embarrassing it is to come back now.
Xu Zun didn't care about this, and just said: "You are so impulsive this time. It is not wrong for you to go to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint, but you cannot file a lawsuit against a court minister without any evidence. Do you know the consequences?
?"
Zhang Fei frowned and said: "I know this, but this is just a small case. People are beaten every day. If I don't sue Wang Sinong, the Kaifeng government will not pay attention to it, and it is very likely that it will be left alone. If this is the case,
, then they can send people to beat me every now and then, and I have to resist."
Xu Zun frowned, "Having said that, you have no evidence. You should discuss it with me first. I will urge the court to investigate the case. If Wang Sinong counter-sues you, the consequences will be huge or small.
!"
Zhang Fei asked: "Does my benefactor think he will bite me back?"
Xu Zun frowned and said, "I think it's very possible."
Zhang Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, "That's good! I'm just afraid he won't tell me."
Xu Zhiqian said in surprise: "Are you confused?"
Zhang Fei glanced at her angrily: "I'm very sober. It's just an investigation now. This is not under my control. I don't think the Kaifeng Mansion can find the person who can beat me. But if Wang Sinong bites me back, then this
The case becomes a lawsuit, and as long as it becomes a lawsuit, then I can do my best."
Xu Zhiqian wondered: "You don't even have evidence, how can you fight him?"
Zhang Fei said: "Mouth! I will bite him and won't let him go. I want this lawsuit to make his whole family uneasy. Just wait, I want them to understand how this gangster should be treated."
Rogue?
Something's wrong!
What do you want to do?
Xu Zun couldn't help but look at him.
Zhang Fei also noticed it and said hurriedly: "My benefactor, I was forced to do nothing, and I am much better than them. At least I used fair and aboveboard means."
Xu Zun pondered for a while and asked, "Can I help you in any way?"
Zhang Fei said: "I only ask my benefactor to help me get a fair trial."
Without Xu Zun's support, he really wouldn't be able to act like a gangster.
