Chapter 539: Let it go(1/2)
When Yuan Jiang saw that Zhang Fei was confident, he would naturally not refuse.
Although this is not a trivial matter, after all, it is the Public Security Bureau that creates the problem. He is only helping to propose solutions. Even if the court vetoes his proposal, he will not be affected in any way.
Previously, he was worried that the public security organs would fall into this trap.
After communicating with Yuan Jiang, Zhang Fei asked Big Dog to send a letter to the emperor quickly. He only wrote two letters, one to Zhao Xu and one to Wang Anshi.
However, both letters were sent to the emperor, who then forwarded the letters to Wang Anshi.
Because he knew that Zhao Xu was very eager to eliminate Xixia. Disarmament at this time was a negative act. If he did not accept it, there would be no need to write to Wang Anshi.
Of course, this was also to show loyalty and let Zhao Xu know his overall plan.
But Zhang Fei did not write to Sima Guang because he knew that Sima Guang was too cautious. Otherwise, he would not be able to agree to the job without forcing him to do that. There is no need to guess, but the reason for his not agreeing is not feasible.
Or not, but consider the risks.
Therefore, there is only one way to deal with Sima Guang, and that is to kill first and then report. After the result comes out, if it is a good result, then Sima Guang will complain.
But Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi are both courageous and willing to take risks.
If you send a message to them, you will get a clear answer. If you agree, you will agree. If you don't agree, you will not agree. And whether you agree or not will not be due to hesitation.
If Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi didn't agree, then he wouldn't take the risk.
On the surface, he looks like a fool, but in his heart he is still very cautious, because he knows very well that although there is a separation of politics and law, the judiciary must serve politics and must compromise.
When teaching the legal system, he often mentioned the interests of the country and the monarch, which was to leave a way out for himself, and when the time came to compromise, he could use this principle to argue the matter.
Based on this, politics must still come first.
Therefore, he still has to wait until he obtains political support before he can decide how to try the case.
He didn't give an answer, so the procuratorate had no choice but to stand still.
But this matter had been spread out for a long time, and everyone was paying attention. Seeing that there was still no movement, I started to feel guilty.
Hezhong Mansion, Shuiyun Pavilion.
Inside the door of a private room, Li Yongji, the superintendent of the salt warehouse, glanced outside through the crack in the door, then closed the door, came to the table and sat down.
Also sitting at this table were Wei Yingfang, He Chunlin, Cao Yi, and Dutou Fan Meng.
"Half a month has passed, but why is there no movement at all from the Procuratorate?"
He Chunlin said doubtfully.
Li Yongji also looked puzzled and said: "At first, Chen Guang went to the procuratorate to file a complaint, and the people talked about it a lot, but now people no longer talk about it."
Fan Meng chuckled and said, "It's normal for there to be no movement. If he makes enemies with so many government offices just for the sake of a small soldier, I think Su Ziyou can't do anything more than that."
Cao Yi waved his hand and said: "Having said that, we still have to be careful. After all, Chen Guang is still staying in the Procuratorate. This is enough to show that the Procuratorate has not given up on this case."
Wei Yingfang wondered: "This case is just a small case after all. If you want to sue, you will sue. If you don't, you will not sue. That's why you are procrastinating."
Cao Yi frowned and pondered for a while, then said: "In my opinion, they may not be considering this case, but the consequences it will cause. If it fails, their procuratorate will lose face.
But if it succeeds, it may trigger more people to complain. There are two to three hundred thousand forbidden troops in the entire Shaanxi Road, so even if there are only two or three thousand people, the movement is not small."
He Chunlin suddenly had an idea: "If that's the case, then why don't we force them to go to trial? At present, the most nervous thing for the court is finance. If the compensation is too large, can the court still support the public prosecutor?"
As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other and seemed a little hesitant.
Wei Yingfang coughed suddenly, "Forget it. I have promised Magistrate Cai before that this matter has nothing to do with us. If Magistrate Cai and the others know that someone is behind this, I'm afraid they will blame us again.
In addition, Wang Jinglue, General Zhong and the others have not left yet, so we should not act rashly."
Fan Meng nodded and said: "Wei Tongpan is right. This matter is still somewhat dangerous. If there is an accident and all of us are involved, what should we do? Commander Qin doesn't know how to do it."
Let me go."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and everyone immediately stopped talking.
Wei Yingfang asked: "Who?"
"Wei Tongpan, it's me."
"Come in."
With a creak, the door opened, and a subordinate clerk quickly walked into the room. He walked directly to Wei Yingfang and whispered in his ear.
"So fast?"
Wei Yingfang was slightly surprised.
Cao Yi asked: "What's the matter?"
Wei Yingfang waved his hand first, and after the subordinate went out, he said to several people: "The imperial edict has arrived."
"say what?"
Several people immediately looked at Wei Yingfang nervously.
"The officials personally ordered Lu Shen to be promoted to judge Dali temple affairs, and at the same time Zhong'e was promoted to know Suizhou."
After he finished speaking, the faces of those sitting there became quite solemn.
Although there was no mention of the imperial court in it, they all knew that the imperial court was very sure of the imperial court's judgment, and the key came so quickly, which made them involuntarily ask Alexander!
Wei Yingfang glanced at a few people and sighed: "It seems we have underestimated the imperial court!"
He Chunlin said: "Why don't we take advantage of this and give it another try? Anyway, in the end, it will be the court that suffers. We will see how the court supports the public security law."
Wei Yingfang was still hesitant.
Cao Yi suddenly said: "Why not, let's see if the Procuratorate will take action first. If he doesn't take action, then let's wait for some time to create public opinion and criticize the Public Security Bureau. If the Procuratorate takes action, it is because they deliberately refuse to let it go.
If we are better off, then we will add fuel to the fire, and in this case, it will be difficult for Governor Cai and the others to say anything."
Wei Yingfang nodded slightly, "That's feasible."
...
Zhao Xu was young and vigorous. Since this verdict was so in line with his wishes, he did not worry too much. He hurriedly sent the two edicts to Hezhong Mansion.
Nowadays, many civil servants and military officers are still staying in Hezhong Prefecture. To see if the procuratorate will initiate proceedings in advance, I will be surprised to learn about this matter.
Is this the efficiency of my Da Song Dynasty?
It should be known that so many officials filed impeachment petitions, but the edict was issued two or three months earlier than he expected, because this was not an emergency and there was a defence.
Who would have known that in less than a month, the edict would come.
This made many people look at the imperial court with admiration.
Zhong'e and the others were very glad that they chose to believe in the imperial court at that time.
Zheng Xie and other scribes were stunned.
I don't know what to say.
In the end, Lu Shen was promoted and directly entered the central government.
But who brought it?
Imperial Court.
This requires another official to give the same judgment. Even if the court accepts it, it is difficult to say that he will be promoted so soon, unless it is a prime minister like Fan Zhongyan or Han Qi, and it is not a simple judgment.
The authority of the imperial court has directly reached a new level.
But this also caused great panic among the officialdom of Hezhong Prefecture.
If Han Qi and Fu Bi came here to rectify the officialdom, even if it was more severe, they would not feel so panicked, because this is also relatively common. In the end, the door is closed and everyone discusses the matter.
But the imperial court is a different kind of government office, not a family. This is why everyone feels uneasy.
It's not that the imperial court wants to investigate corruption.
This panic further made them need to stick together for warmth, and in their eyes, the public security organs, prosecutors and the law were one, and Chen Guangyi, who had been silent for a long time, was taken seriously again.
The Imperial Court has such a great authority, if we really investigate, something will really happen.
But so far, the imperial court seems to have no connection with this incident, and Chen Guang's family is still in the Procuratorate.
The Procuratorate is directly at the forefront of the storm.
This made Chen Qi and Wang Shen deeply dissatisfied.
The limelight was completely stolen by the imperial court, and all the bad things were his own.
It's not fair!
"Prosecutor Su, you have always said that our procuratorate and the imperial court are not under each other, so why wait for the imperial court's reply? Judging from the current evidence, it is okay for us to prosecute, and it is reasonable not to prosecute. This waste of time will not be good for us."
Our procuratorate is really unfavorable."
Chen Qi complained.
Wang Shen also said: "Prosecutor General, if we continue to make decisions, we will suffer chaos. Now this case is getting more and more serious. If we don't make a decision, we may be in a dilemma. It doesn't matter whether we sue or not."
In the face of their complaints, Su Zhe said calmly: "It is precisely because of this that we should treat it more carefully. Acting hastily will only give others trouble, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and said, "Although our Procuratorate and the Imperial Court are not under each other, this ultimately involves military and national affairs and should not be acted upon rashly. This is not because we are subject to the Imperial Court, but that we must be responsible to the country and the monarch.
