It has to be said that Zhang Fei's acting skills are quite superb. Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing were not sure whether he was involved or not.

After all, the head of the Taxation Department is not Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei may not dare to cause such a big disturbance.

If you don't know the specific situation, it's really hard to make a judgment.

You have to find out first.

And when Lu Huiqing received the news, it meant that all ministers had received news from Jingdong East Road.

This is really one wave after another.

Previously, everyone's attention was diverted to the Liuyun Temple adultery case, forgetting that the main battleground this year is actually Jingdong East Road, where there is a lot of shit that has not been wiped clean.

Therefore, once the news came, it is no exaggeration to say that it really shocked the government and the public.

rebellion.

This is a capital crime, and it's the kind that kills everyone.

But it doesn't really matter if it's just a rebellion, because this happens often there, and as long as it's not a large-scale rebellion, the ministers in the DPRK will not panic, and it won't be a big deal for Zhao'an.

But the problem is that it also involves many local tycoons.

So they quickly sent people to inquire about the news, but there was no need to inquire. One after another, waves of news came to the capital.

The wealthy gentry were also panicked. They also wanted to ask for support from the capital and quickly sent a message to the officials in the capital.

It turns out that this is the work of the Tax Department again.

This is life-threatening!

Jingdong East Road resisted the Taxation Department, and the powerful people in the capital also secretly supported it. For the powerful people, it was everyone's responsibility to resist the Taxation Department!

Judging from the past behavior of the Taxation Department, it relies on violence. Qizhou is a very suitable place to attack the Taxation Department, as there are many ruthless people there.

But who would have thought that the Taxation Department would directly open the door and slap such a fatal label on it.

Moreover, they also included some meritorious deeds. Although they were only marginal and not major descendants, this was rarely seen in the Northern Song Dynasty.

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin said that a cup of wine would release his military power, but in fact, it was wealth and honor that would release his military power, and he promised to give them wealth from generation to generation.

When this group of people encountered this situation, it was really... so exciting.

Trial Court.

"Conspiracy! This is definitely a conspiracy of the Department of Taxation!"

Meng Qiansheng said angrily: "What kind of rebellion? Those people just resisted the tax department's violent tax collection."

Zhao Wenzheng was very anxious and said: "I didn't expect that the Taxation Department would use this method to organize unjust imprisonment in the name of rebellion. We must not let the Taxation Department succeed this time, otherwise, we will be the next ones to suffer.

.”

Even Xie Jun, who has a gentle personality, nodded and said: "Yes, we must stop it this time. They actually do this. This is really terrible."

The crime of rebellion was the most terrifying crime in ancient times. Even if you were a scholar-official, if you dared to rebel, the emperor would definitely let you die.

This is not a question of money, but a question of your whole family dying.

It is absolutely impossible to set such a precedent.

Pei Wendao: "We have to be the first to impeach the Taxation Department for wasting lives on Jingdong East Road and causing unjust imprisonment."

Meng Qiansheng nodded and said, "That's right! We have to strike first."

"Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Deng Wan said suddenly from the side.

Several people immediately looked at Deng Wan.

Deng Wan said: "The people in charge of the judiciary in Qizhou are the public prosecutors and the procuratorate. If the tax department dares to make such a big fuss, they must have some evidence in their hands. If you rush to report again, you will only repeat the same mistakes, and the gains will not be worth the losses."

Meng Qiansheng hurriedly asked: "According to Deng Yushi's words, how should we respond?"

Deng Wandao: "In my opinion, apart from the public prosecutor and the law, if this case is really determined to be treason, it will be detrimental to all the ministers. So as long as the public prosecutor and the law can be avoided, the matter can at least be reduced to a minor matter. It won’t hurt too many people.”

Zhao Wenzheng wondered: "How to avoid the public prosecutor?"

Deng Wan said: "Rebellion is not a small crime. Who would judge it in the past?"

Meng Qiansheng stroked his beard and said: "Such a major case will most likely be tried by the Criminal Court, Dali Temple, Yushitai, and the Ministry of Punishment, or even by these government offices together."

Deng Wan added: "Nowadays, the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate are subordinate to the Criminal Tribunal, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment. As long as we put the case in these offices for trial, we can influence the trial, and whether it is Wen Gong , or Sima Bachelor, they will also take into account those meritorious achievements, and the most they can do is to kill a few bandit leaders to scare the monkeys."

Meng Qiansheng and others were convinced by these words.

indeed!

In the past, they always wanted to be tough, but in the end they were always slapped in the face. The reason why the public prosecutor and the procuratorate were able to win repeatedly was because the public prosecutor, procuratorate and law always relied on evidence. They could not quibble in the face of irrefutable evidence.

Conspiracy is not an ordinary charge. You can directly file a petition to clear your name. Once the evidence is found, they may also be implicated.

The best way is not to discuss right or wrong, nor to choose a side, but to find a way to avoid the nasty public prosecutors, and then affect the trial.

...

Political Hall.

"Isn't Jun really here?"

Wen Yanbo came to the political hall, looked around, and found that Fu Bi was the only one sitting there, checking official documents.

Fu Bi put down his copy and said, "Guess where he is?"

"Zhang San."

Wen Yanbo sat down and said, "According to the information we have learned so far, the Taxation Department was ambushed in Qizhou before and suffered considerable losses. This case is most likely the revenge of the Taxation Department."

Fu Bi was also worried about this and asked: "What is the situation outside now?"

Wen Yanbo said: "Who wouldn't be afraid of things like this when there is a rumbling wind?"

Fu Bi frowned slightly.

Wen Yanbo sighed: "I also think that the Taxation Department has gone too far this time. Even if they want to retaliate, they should not retaliate with the crime of rebellion, and implicating so many people, including some who have made great contributions to the founding of the country, is not an attempt to do so." It forces them to jump over the wall. If it is not handled properly, Qizhou will no longer have stability."

Fu Bi nodded and said: "I believe that the official documents from the local government will be sent to the capital soon. Let's wait and see. Don't make a hasty decision yet."

Procuratorate.

"This really has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Fei said to Sima Guang with an aggrieved look on his face: "I have been busy with the Liuyun Temple adultery case recently. I haven't been paying attention to the matters over there at all."

Sima Guang frowned and said, "It's best if it has nothing to do with you, otherwise, your life may be in danger. This is just playing with fire."

Playing with fire? I never play with fire, I only set fire. Zhang Fei nodded and said: "I will bear in mind the advice of Bachelor Sima."

Sima Guang nodded and asked, "Can you handle this case well?"

"Me? Ahem!"

Zhang Fei said anxiously: "Will this case be handed over to us for trial?"

Sima Guang said: "A case of rebellion like this will inevitably be appealed to the court. It is impossible for the Qizhou and Qingzhou Public Security Bureau to try it."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "But regarding this matter, I just asked my father-in-law. For this kind of case, even if it is appealed to the court, it should not be tried by our public prosecutors, but should be handed over to Dali Temple, Yushitai or the trial court.

Trial before the Criminal Court.”

Sima Guang said: "That was before, but it is different now. Now the public prosecutor and the procuratorate are in charge of justice."

Zhang Fei said: "Even according to the current system, the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate are under the Criminal Court and Dali Temple. Cases like this should be tried by the Criminal Court and Dali Temple."

Sima Guang frowned and asked, "Can't you come to trial?"

Zhang Fei said nonchalantly: "This is not a question of whether a trial can be done, but there are many issues involved, and I am not sure.

For example, if a businessman provides wine, meat, and food to the rebels, but only for the purpose of making money, the public prosecutor may not convict him of rebellion, but it may cause dissatisfaction among the officials or some ministers. On the contrary, the people

You may be dissatisfied with the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate.

To put it simply, even the most fair and just result may make many people dissatisfied because it involves too many political issues and cannot be judged solely on the basis of justice."

Isn't it really his fault? Sima Guang murmured in his heart that the question he just asked was actually a test of Zhang Fei. After all, he had been fooled several times before, and he couldn't always be fooled. He added: "Then what if the official

I must ask you to come and judge?"

Zhang Fei smiled bitterly and said: "If the officials give an order, I can only obey it. But if Master Sima really cares about the Public Security Bureau, he should try not to let the Public Security Bureau hear this case. After all, the Public Security Law has just been established a few years ago, and there is no way to do it."

Hou, it is really difficult for us to try this kind of case because we don’t have any experience.”

Sima Guang sighed: "Let's look at the situation first. I don't think the officials will let the case be handed over to the public prosecutors and the judiciary for trial."

After a pause, he asked again: "What do you think of this behavior of the Taxation Department?"

Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "Sister Sima, the specific process is not clear yet, and it is difficult for me to judge."

Sima Guang said: "Just think this is a conspiracy of the Taxation Department."

Zhang Fei said: "It also depends on whether it is illegal. If it is illegal, then it is illegal. If it is not illegal, then... then I don't know what to say. After all, the duty of the tax department is to collect taxes legally. We, the public prosecutor and the law

It must also be judged in accordance with the law.”
