Bang bang bang!

"good!"

"Well judged!"

The people watching the trial sent Naluo Dawu down to the court with applause and cheers.

Even the gangster didn't show up. It seems that throughout the ages, this kind of old scoundrel has been hated very much.

Luo Dawu was already very depressed. Hearing the cheers, he couldn't help but cursed: "I don't owe you any money for what you did."

"You are still cursing. You won't be able to escape in the future. We will all keep an eye on you."

"Yes, we will all keep an eye on you."

Luo Dawu trembled with fright, immediately did not dare to speak, buried his head and left quickly.

However, the layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the door.

Taking advantage of this gap, the officials were also whispering.

A trainee prosecutor asked Su Che in a low voice: "Chief Prosecutor, it seems that the "Song Xingtong" does not have such punishment regulations?"

Another asked: "Is this president of the court mistaken? According to the Miscellaneous Laws of the "Song Xingtong", those who use property to raise money, whether public or private, will be appointed in accordance with private contracts, officials will ignore it, and those who have exhausted their family resources will be punished.

As a reward, Yitong takes a male from inside the house.

But sacrificing one’s life in this battle is not the same thing as selling one’s labor.”

Su Zhe said: "President Zhang has the power to change the penalties in some regulations, and it is unlikely that he made a mistake, because he is also accompanied by Chief Xu and four assistant judges."

Having said this, he turned back and said to the six interns: "But his power will be supervised by our procuratorate, so you should also think carefully about what is the difference between the two and which punishment is more important."

good?"

The prosecutors looked at each other, seemingly not having much idea at the moment.

Most people who studied law in ancient times still memorized it by rote. That's why Xu Zun became a weirdo in the legal world. He was very flexible and good at thinking in this regard.

“Labor enforcement?”

Lu Shen nodded thoughtfully and said, "This court president really deserves his reputation!"

Zheng Xie, who was beside him, said: "Brother Jiefu, why do you say that?"

A friend on the side also asked: "What is the difference between this and the sacrifice of one's life in service?"

Lu Shen said with a serious face: "This labor service is actually a disguised form of selling debtors into slavery, but they are usually exploited as a result, and the repayment is far more than the debt owed. Even many creditors

He took the opportunity to seize his wife and daughter, but there are also some people, like Luo Dawu, who are rogues who mainly turn against customers and make creditors miserable. Therefore, in recent years, fair and honest officials generally will not sentence them like this.

In comparison, selling labor is obviously a better choice. The two parties still have a contractual relationship, and the person who pays and the person who supervises is not the same person, which also avoids the disadvantages of sacrificing one's life for one's reward."

He has been working as a county magistrate in other places for many years, and he is very clear about this. The sentence will cost the life of the people, and the consequences for the people will be even more painful. Just put it aside and say what you mean, and then you can solve it yourself. Many people will die, and there will be many people with them.

Space for landlords to compete.

This is also an important basis for Sima Guang and others to oppose the Green Crop Law. There is room for competition between the common people and the rich households, but the fate of the government will turn the common people and the rich households into fish.

Zheng Xie stroked his beard and nodded: "That makes sense."

Zhuo Qun said: "If you want to say which one is better between the two, then selling labor is naturally better. But this will also bring more trouble to the imperial court, and it has to be supervised. There is also selling, and the labor is sacrificed, which is better.

It’s simple, and the follow-up has nothing to do with the government. It is still limited to transactions between common people, which is more in line with the people’s private contract and the officials’ actions.”

After all, the service is limited to the creditor and the debtor. The government only makes a judgment, but the government needs to participate in the labor sale.

Cai Yanqing smiled and said: "This is why we need to separate politics and law. In the past, government affairs were too complicated to take care of. Now the imperial court specializes in justice, and they, the public prosecutor and the judiciary, are capable of doing it."

Zhuo Qun nodded as he heard this, "This is indeed a major advantage of the separation of politics and law."

In fact, the laws of the Song Dynasty were very stipulated. Since one could not be forced to sell his wife and children, he could not be forced to sell his land or cattle.

But the problem remains, poor efficiency.

To put it bluntly, it is execution.

After a short rest, the second lawsuit soon began to be heard. For civil lawsuits like this, the imperial court also pursues a little efficiency. If too much energy is spent on this kind of dispute case, it will encounter a major case.

It's simply too busy.

The same is true for debt disputes.

It was a landlord named Wei Fangcheng who sued a farmer named Chen Liugen.

This is a typical loan sharking lawsuit.

As a result, the people watching outside immediately became clear-cut. Ordinary people certainly hope that farmers can be sentenced lightly, because they are also likely to borrow usury.

Liu Changqing and other landlords and gentry were relatively uneasy. Of course they hoped for a heavy sentence, but they no longer trusted Zhang Fei.

As for the officials, they are looking forward to it.

In fact, cases like this are too common, and it is precisely because of this that class conflicts are deepening day by day. This is actually one of the reasons for the emergence of the Youth Law.

In other words, in fact, the government did not handle the situation well, which is why it became more serious. If the judiciary can control it well, there is no reason for Wang Anshi to introduce the Youth Law.

It can be seen from this that the Xining party struggle was the basic face of Song Dynasty society.

Various problems can be seen from Wang Anshi's new laws and regulations, and various problems can also be seen from Sima Guang's rebuttal theory.

Such problems are not necessarily contradictory; they may exist at the same time. Solving one part of the problem may amplify another part of the problem.

After Zhang Fei carefully examined the petition paper again, he raised his head and shouted: "Weifang City."

"exist."

But seeing a middle-aged fat man with a big belly, he responded.

Zhang Fei said: "Based on the pleadings and IOUs you submitted before, if the interest on your IOUs is calculated according to the interest method stipulated by our imperial court, we estimate that it will definitely be more than double, but you also stated in the pleadings,

The interest can be reduced by half, are you still willing to keep it now?"

Wei Fangcheng nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Keep it! I am willing to keep it! This IOU was established before the imperial court legislated on interest, but the common people also respect the imperial court very much, so the common people are willing to take the initiative to reduce the interest to the imperial court.

Within the regulations.”

Licking the dog!

What a licking dog!

Some landowners are very unhappy about this!

Aren't you surrendering voluntarily?

They are simply the scum of the landlord world!

The officials are also very unhappy. You are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong!

Don’t we want to lose face?

Don't fall into our hands in the future.

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "Thank you very much for your support. In fact, our imperial court will not investigate whether the previous contract is in compliance with the law, but interest must not be calculated like this."

As soon as these words came out, many people couldn't help but look happy.

This fully shows that the decrees of the imperial court must be strictly implemented.

In the past, the government also had many restrictions, but they were of no use. Many officials almost ignored the matter and let the people solve it on their own. This does not mean that there was no establishment.

Zhang Fei turned his head and looked at the man on the right who was in his mid-twenties, with his head lowered and worried, "Chen Liugen."

"Xiao Xiaomin is here."

Chen Liugen's whole body shook violently.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, our imperial court does not play tricks."

Chen Liugen nodded dullly.

The officials looked at Zhang Fei unhappily, "Who are you implying?"

Zhang Fei asked: "According to the IOU, there is a guarantor named Wu Ji in the middle. Why didn't he come today?"

Chen Liugen said hurriedly: "I didn't let him come. This doesn't care about Brother Wu. At that time, Brother Wu also wanted to help me. Now he still has a lot of work to do at home. I don't want to trouble Brother Wu anymore. I will bear the responsibility."

All of this."

This debtor still has a natural fear of the government, and going to the government is definitely not a good thing.

This imperial court won't be able to change for a while.

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This imperial court summons cannot be decided by you. Those who receive the summons, unless there are special circumstances, should try their best to attend. But forget it this time. If necessary, we will send another summons.

"

"Thank you very much, President, thank you very much, President." Chen Liugen thanked him repeatedly.

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and asked: "According to the IOU, you borrowed a total of three sums of money from Wei Fangcheng for fifteen guan. What the president of the court is curious about is, why did you borrow such money?"

Chen Liugen said: "It's to treat children."

"Really?" Zhang Fei asked with concern, "I wonder if your son's illness can be cured?"
