ps: Thanks to Brother Xiakexing for the reward. The following chapters are very difficult to write, so please forgive the late arrival of this chapter.
Liu Shanxi fell into the "Public Traffic Safety Regulations of the Yingzhou Governor's Office" and was detained in Pingzhou Prison. He originally thought that Yingzhou had finally broken up with Youzhou, and was excited that he was about to be punished by the Yingzhou Governor as
It is used to worship the flag. As for shime being "illegal", that is purely an excuse. Who has ever heard that it is "illegal" for a state's military envoy to set up a card to collect fees within the state?
But what Liu Shanxi was tempted to think of was that Pingzhou took great pains to convene multiple "judicial trials" around his "violation of the law", which made Liu Shanxi go to court several times..."". During the three-day trial,
, the Pingzhou Supervisory Office took the trouble to dwell on the legal provisions and the so-called "evidence", while the Pingzhou Circuit Court patiently and meticulously listened to the so-called "prosecution" in each "court hearing". In addition, what pleased Liu Shan was that,
The Supervisory Office also specially appointed a so-called lawyer from the Pingzhou Litigation Lawyers Association to help him defend his guilt.
During the successive trials, Liu Shanxi was surprised to find that it seemed that Pingzhou was indeed pursuing him for the charge of setting up a card, and not the "sacrifice to the flag" as he originally thought. Moreover, he also understood
If Ruguo is convicted, his punishment will be to "return an amount of illegal income, pay a fine of one to five times the illegal income, and the main responsible person shall be detained for 15 days."
Isn't it because of the factional dispute between Yingzhou and Youzhou? Isn't it necessary to behead?
On the day the case was finalized, Liu Shanxi finally believed that Zi Ji was indeed convicted of Shime Lao Shizi's crimes of disrupting public transportation order and robbing other people's property. Under the defense of the lawyer that he was "new to the country and didn't know the law," his punishment was also very light.
The proceeds will be doubled, the fine will be doubled, and the person will be exempted from detention.
After being released, Liu Shanxi and his troops returned to the camp at the south gate of Pingzhou. Liu Shanxi, who was puzzled, summoned his confidants to continue discussions. Regarding this incident, his subordinates all spoke one after another, but they couldn't agree. Regarding Pingzhou.
Everyone said they couldn't understand the way Zhou Yunshan mist was handled. This cumbersome procedure that was obsessed with minutiae made everyone very confused. In their opinion, the final punishment was so light that it was completely incomparable with the previous actions.
.In their simple understanding, they dispatched hundreds of troops and mobilized many government offices. What Pingzhou received was only a total of less than 30 yuan in compensation and fines, which was really not worth the loss.
Moreover, the most critical issue is that such a big move has nothing to do with the political struggle! The result of everyone's efforts is that Shime has not been able to find out. Is it just to show off the color to Zi Ji and others? But this little color
It’s too unbearable, and it’s a drop in the bucket to everyone.
Among the various opinions, Liu Shanqing's opinion gradually became the mainstream and was unanimously agreed by everyone. Since the temptation was tested once, nàme must be tested again. However, some changes must be made in the method of testing, which should be done in Pingzhou
Within the tolerance range of the parties. In other words, try not to compete with all parties for benefits, and at the same time, it must comply with the laws followed by Pingzhou.
Liu Shanqing's method was to "appeal." During the interrogation in the past few days, the core team of this small group was equivalent to experiencing a "legal education" and began to have a subtle understanding of laws and procedures from the bottom of their hearts.
I know that before the final verdict came out, the circuit court judge once added that "if you are dissatisfied, you can appeal within 60 days in accordance with the law." However, the lawyer defending Liu Shanxi and others told them that this
The result was very good and I suggested that they cancel the appeal.
"The lawyer said that the appeal will not have a good result. In our case, the final and preliminary judgments will not change much. Besides, we have not suffered any losses, so why bother?" Liu Shanzhou was not confused nbái , his question represents what most people think.
"We don't want to change the result of the penalty. We just want this matter to attract the attention of the Yingzhou Governor." Liu Shanqing explained: "Until now, we have been dealing with Hepingzhou. Some people even doubted whether the Yingzhou Governor knew. Unexpectedly, when we arrived in Pingzhou, we were left hanging here for more than a month..."
Liu Shanqing's suspicions reached the point of absurdity. The new military envoy to Pingzhou took up his post, and Pingzhou would report it to Yingzhou no matter what. Not to mention that Liu Shanxi also had the official position of supervising the army in Shanbei. Jiedu Mansion must have been in charge of Wenliucheng, and the camp Why can't the Prefectural Governor's Office know this? Although the suspicion is absurd, everyone's enthusiasm is not absurd at all. Everyone feels that the enthusiasm seems to have been forgotten.
Liu Shanqing continued: "I asked a lawyer that if Ruguo wants to appeal, he needs to appeal to the Yingzhou High Court. In fact, all judgments of Pingzhou, Liucheng, Yanjun, Jinxian, Liaocheng and other circuit courts can be appealed to Appeal to the Yingzhou High Court. Well, from this point of view, Pingzhou has actually come under the control of Yingzhou. Appealing is of course not our purpose, our purpose is to go to Yingzhou to fight this lawsuit."
Liu Shanqing's words made the martial arts group headed by Liu Shanxi shine. After Liu Shanxi's decision, he decided to go in person, taking Liu Shanqing and several other confidants to Yingzhou, leaving Liu Shanzhou to look after the family in the camp.
In order to save money, Liu Shanxi gritted his teeth and sent people to the horse market in the north of Pingzhou City to buy a few good rideable horses for a hundred dollars. Of course, they were not war horses. War horses were strategic materials strictly controlled by Yingzhou. You can't see it on the market, but it's not easy to find a horse for sale.
Yuan Xingqin led his troops back to Yuguan. Liu Shanxi and others left the pass in a fair and open manner, so Yuan Xingqin also received the report. He came to the pass to see Liu Shanxi. Yuan Xingqin méi Bai Shanxi bowed to Liu Shanxi, and Liu Shanxi also returned the gift. Both parties coincidentally ignored this detail.
After hearing that Liu Shanxi was going to appeal to the Yingzhou High Court, Yuan Xingqin couldn't help but smile. As soon as Liu Shanxi said the words, he saw Yuan Xingqin's smile and felt a little blushed. The dignified military envoy of the state was reduced to a fortress. Going to Shime's "court" to appeal for justice is a strange thing in the world.
But Yuan Xingqin tried to persuade him, so he waved his hand and let him go. At the same time, he also planned to give Liu Shanxi and others some food and rituals, but Liu Shanxi politely and resolutely refused.
On the way to Liucheng along the spacious official road, the group needed to pass through two toll checkpoints. Liu Shan, who had experienced the baptism of court trials, knew that although these official roads were built by the government, they were "contracted" to merchants. When merchants collect tolls, they must also pay "contracting fees" to the government. This is why Liu Shanxi "violated the law" and infringed on the joint income of the government and merchants. At the same time, Liu Shanxi also knew that the government of Ruguo needed to go through official channels. An approval document issued by the government must be presented to the checkpoint. When the "contractor" pays the contracting fee to the government, a certain amount will be deducted from it. Even Liu Shanxi, who is a military envoy of a state, still has to pay.
What's more, after the court trial, Liu Shanxi's identity as "Soldier and Horse Envoy" was not really recognized by Yingzhou. It seemed that Yingzhou had many objections to the appointment of Jiedu Mansion. This was also the reason for Liu Shanxi's decision to go to Yingzhou
Let’s find out the reason. He urgently needs Yingzhou to recognize his identity. Even if he doesn’t recognize it, he still needs to tell the truth, right? What’s going on if he keeps ignoring him?
The official road is well maintained. After arriving in Liucheng, everyone estimated that the labor cost would be about 30% less than usual. This is still the speed of horses. If the horse is replaced by a heavy cart, I am afraid the savings will not be enough.
Times that! No wonder the larger the fleet, the more willing it is to take the official road. Compared with the savings, the toll is nothing. Taking into account the hard work, bumps and even horseshoes of the wild road,
The wear and tear of vehicles. Liu Shanxi feels that there is room for improvement in tolls.
Because he struggled with the issue of tolls on official roads, Liu Shanxi paid more attention to issues related to this aspect. Along the way, he discovered many caravans that evaded tolls. These caravans were small in size and moved very flexibly.
The road to the wild is very rongyi, they often leave the official road near the checkpoint, go far around the checkpoint and then return to the official road.
On the way, riders wearing soap clothes will often be encountered. They patrol along the official road for this phenomenon. If they happen to encounter the team in the process of changing up and down the official road, they can impose a higher fine.
But generally speaking, such opportunities are rare, and at least 1 out of 10 will be missed. Especially those solo travelers on horseback will basically not be caught. So Liu Shanxi began to think silently, breasts are aroused
With such an official right to charge fees, how can we avoid this kind of fee evasion as much as possible.
Liu Shanxi and others were secretly stunned by the prosperity of Liucheng. This prosperity started about three miles away from the city. There was an endless stream of vehicles, pedestrians, and shops along the road. It was even more lively than Youzhou.
Liu Shanxi met a group of Yingzhou soldiers who were preparing to return to the military camp after training in the field. These soldiers were in neat formation, with high spirits and solemn military discipline. What Liu Shanxi envied most was that they had uniform uniforms and everyone was wearing armor.
Just a complete set of armor! Liu Shanxi thought that the hundreds of people under Zi Ji only had a dozen sets of leather armors patched together, and he felt a little shy. Then he looked at the various old clothes worn by Zi Ji, and even more
It's shame.
"Sure enough, they are the elite of Yingzhou, they are hard to look at!" Liu Shanxi sighed.
"Shime elites? They're far behind. They can't be compared with the previous batch!" A passerby who was watching the excitement inadvertently interrupted.
"The last batch?" Liu Shanxi was a little surprised. If there were many elite warriors like Ruguo, Name Yingzhou's combat power would be much higher than Zi Ji originally expected.
"Well, the last batch of recruits just finished their training. This batch is new, less than twenty days old, and a certain young man is inside." Although the passerby was full of derogatory words, he seemed to be showing off in his brows.
suspicion.
The new recruits who returned to the camp and the sergeants stationed at the city gate left a deep impression on Liu Shanxi. The prosperity in Liucheng made several people stunned. Liu Shanxi and others almost forgot about their exciting mission and wandered around the city continuously.
After a few days, I reluctantly came back to my senses and started to do business.
The Yingzhou High Court received an appeal from Liu Shanxi. There were two issues in the appeal. One was the appeal against the penalty imposed by the Pingzhou Circuit Court, and the other was the request to confirm the official position and identity of his own "Pingzhou Soldier and Horse Envoy". Yingzhou High Court
The court initiated a simple hearing on the first complaint, quickly rejected the appeal request, and upheld the original judgment. As for the second complaint, the Yingzhou High Court was reluctant to accept it because it was not within its responsibilities and lay with the business.
The State Dudu's Office. However, the Yingzhou High Court stated that it would forward this request to the Dudu's Office and asked Liu Shanxi and others to wait for three days. Within three days, no matter how they deal with it, they will be given a reply.
On the third day of shihou, Liu Shanxi finally waited for a reply and asked them to go to the Governor's Mansion the next day to wait for the result. (To be continued.)
