Chapter 524: Civil, Military and Law (9)(1/2)
When they came out of the valley, the old men suddenly felt a surging heat wave coming over them. Some old men were dizzy. They had come here very early in the morning and had just listened to the trial with all their concentration. They didn't feel anything. At this time, they came back.
When I came to my senses, I suddenly felt hungry, and my heart was filled with greetings to Zhang Fei.
But the top priority is not to stab the villain or curse Zhang Fei, but to find a place to eat.
"Wei Tongpan, is there a proper place to stay near here?"
"There doesn't seem to be any around here. We have to go back to the city!"
"Do you still have to go back to the city?"
"Oh, that brat, you are really tormenting me!"
"I don't believe it. He can't even provide a simple meal."
I heard that I have to go back to the city. I have all kinds of angina pectoris. At noon, under the scorching sun, taking one more step would be torture!
But as soon as I walked out of the door, I suddenly smelled a scent of fragrance.
This happened so suddenly that Cai Yanqing and Wei Yingfang felt that they were hallucinating.
Looking for the fragrance, I saw several very simple large wooden sheds supported by the small river in front of the door and under the big trees. The fragrance came from under the wooden sheds.
"Isn't there food here?"
“But when I came here in the morning, I didn’t seem to see these wooden sheds yet!”
"Okay, okay, as long as you have something to eat, I can't walk. Although it is relatively close to the city, there is no time to rest after going back and forth."
"Yes, yes, let's just eat something here and take a rest inside later. It's quite cool there."
A group of civil servants and military generals immediately swarmed over.
But I saw that although the wooden sheds were simple, they were very spacious, and there were three or five guys under each shed, which seemed to be prepared for them.
Seeing them coming, the guys couldn't help but hurried up to greet them and asked them to sit down.
Wei Yingfang was very curious as to when this wooden shed was built, and couldn't help asking the guy: "Who are you? Why do you dare to set up a stall here?"
The guy said with sincerity and fear: "I don't know."
Wei Yingfang frowned and said, "Call your stall owner over."
"yes."
After the guy left, Cai Yanqing asked, "Wei Tongpan, why are you so angry?"
Wei Yingfang replied: "Prefect Cai, I suspect that this stall is owned by Zhang San."
As soon as these words came out, the gentlemen who had just sat down couldn't help but glared when they heard this. They didn't prepare a simple meal for us and wanted to make money from us.
It’s really heartbreaking!
"What orders does this high official have?"
After a while, I saw a man walking over.
Wei Yingfang asked: "Are you the owner of this stall?"
"yes."
"Who gave you permission to set up a stall here?"
"It's President Zhang."
"Why does President Zhang allow you to set up a stall here?"
"Well."
"Say it."
"Yes. It's because President Zhang owes the villain money, so he uses this stall to pay off the debt."
Ouch!
This is a shocking piece of gossip!
All the officials pricked up their ears.
"Why does President Zhang owe you money?" Wei Yingfang also asked anxiously.
The man said: "Because President Zhang asked young people to help him build this imperial court some time ago, and he owes us some wages, so he gave this stall to us."
"!"
Suddenly everyone's eyes turned to Wei Yingfang.
It turns out that what that guy Zhang San said is true, you really didn’t give me a penny!
No wonder he treated us like this.
You are the culprit!
Wei Yingfang also looked embarrassed, coughed, waved his hands and said, "Go and do your work."
Cai Yanqing hurriedly walked away, thinking to himself, you are really possessed. With all these things before the door, can you still get a handle on it?
This stall owner is none other than Big Dog.
On the surface, it is really to pay off debts, but in fact, it is to allow Big Dog to stay here and provide him with information at any time.
Compared with the civil and military affairs that were enjoying themselves in the morning, at this time the civil and military forces began to deliberately keep a distance, and their camps were very clear, because they had to discuss the morning trial in private.
Except for Yuan Jiang and others who were recently transferred from the capital, this was the first time for everyone to see this kind of trial.
The biggest difference from the previous one is the typical separation of politics and law.
This point is vividly reflected in Zheng Xie and Xue Xiang.
This is something that many people don't understand.
For the time being, they had no time to estimate which side Zhang Fei was leaning towards. They were more interested in discussing this interrogation system.
In fact, let alone them, even Cai Bian and the other four assistant judges had many doubts about this.
But at this time, they were much more comfortable than these gentlemen. They were sitting on the corridor next to the valley, enjoying the breeze of the valley, eating delicious food, and their faces were not tired at all. This is not work, it is simply a vacation!
"Teacher, the student has a question and wants to ask the teacher."
Just after eating, Cai Bian couldn't wait to ask.
Zhang Fei said: "What's the problem?"
Cai Bian asked: "According to the trial in the morning, in any case, deputy envoy Zhong has been disobeying the edicts one after another. Unless the teacher personally fights for him, otherwise, I am afraid he will not be able to escape this crime."
Shangguanjun and the others also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Are you implying that I am partial to the deputy envoy?"
"Students dare not."
Having said that, in fact they all feel this way.
"Actually, you are right to feel this way." Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Because I am indeed biased."
"ah?"
Everyone, including Xu Zhiqian, looked at Zhang Fei in shock.
Zhang Fei leaned back slightly and asked with a smile: "What do you think is the original sin of war?"
Cai Jingdao: "Failure."
"good."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It is a failure. If the seeding operation is not successful, then I will definitely be a different kind of trial today."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "But you are the president of the court, shouldn't you handle it fairly?"
Zhang Fei smiled and asked: "What is the first point of the legal system?"
"Defend the interests of the country and the monarch." Ye Zuqia replied quickly.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "You must remember that when it comes to the country and the monarch, interests must come first. As long as the country and justice benefit, this is the most just trial."
Xu Zhiqian was startled and seemed to understand something.
Cai Bian nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and said thoughtfully: "No wonder in the classroom before, the teacher always emphasized the interests of the country and the monarch. The students always had confusion, but they couldn't tell what it was specifically. It's this justice.
and interests.”
Shangguan Jun also nodded slightly, "When the teacher mentioned the people, he always emphasized legitimate rights and interests, but when it came to the country and the monarch, he did not talk about legitimate rights and interests, but only emphasized pure interests, and omitted the two legitimate rights and interests.
Words, that’s how it is.”
Several people suddenly became enlightened, and what they had learned in class before came into their minds. They all thought that the teacher's legal methods are really profound and profound.
They all agreed with this.
They also have a tangled point in this case, that is, they believe that they should not be guilty of recovering Suizhou, but they always remind themselves that they must deal with it fairly.
Zhang Fei's words made them feel much more relaxed.
Cai Jing asked: "According to the teacher's intention, is it necessary to acquit deputy envoy Zhong?"
To be continued...
