He didn't believe it was a coincidence.

Liu Qing did not deny it and said: "Don't be surprised if I ask Zhang to prosecute. The main reason is that I have appealed to the imperial court of Xiangfu County several times, but all failed. The world is so big, but no one can help me. Later I heard that Zhang

When Prosecutor Zhang returned to Beijing, I also heard that Prosecutor Zhang was willing to help others and often helped people clear their grievances. So at the end of last year, I also went to your house to see Prosecutor Zhang, but Prosecutor Zhang closed the door to thank the guests and never saw him. Recently, I visited again

I heard that Prosecutor Zhang would come to the Procuratorate to take up his post, so I came here today to seek help from Prosecutor Zhang.”

"I see."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Please sit down first, and we'll sit down and talk."

"Thank you!"

Liu Qing bowed her hands and waited until Zhang Fei sat down before he sat down.

Zhang Fei said: "Tell me about your situation first. I can't say whether I can help you specifically. Since your appeal to the imperial court failed, it's definitely not good."

He is not an Erbi now, but a prosecutor, and there are many restrictions on him. He can no longer say that there is no lawsuit that cannot be fought in the world.

Liu Qing said angrily: "The reason why my appeal in Xiangfu County failed is because the chief judge in Xiangfu County doesn't understand the law at all, or he ignores the law."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Fei was slightly curious and said: "Let's talk about your situation first."

He knew the chief judge of Xiangfu County. He was originally Qian Yi. Later, after Qian Yi was transferred away, Sima Guang arranged for Qi Hui to serve as the chief judge of Xiangfu County. It was impossible for him to not understand the law or to ignore the law.

Liu Qingdao: "I am from Xiangfu County. In April last year, someone accused my wife of committing adultery with a monk, so my wife and the monk were sued to the imperial court. As a result, my wife and the monk were found guilty of adultery.

, my wife was sentenced to two years in prison, and the monk was sentenced to three years in prison."

Zhang Fei asked: "In other words, your wife did not commit adultery with that monk. Someone deliberately falsely accused her?"

Liu Qing was stunned for a moment, "Didn't Prosecutor Zhang realize the problem?"

Zhang Fei recalled it carefully, shook his head and said, "Did I overlook anything?"

Liu Qing couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei, and then said: "The key to this case is not adultery."

"ah?"

Zhang Fei asked in surprise: "What's that about?"

Liu Qing said excitedly: "According to our adultery laws, if you are not an official, you must abide by the principle of being caught by your husband if you commit adultery. If the husband does not report it, the officials will ignore it. I am the husband. If I do not take the initiative to sue the officials, they cannot sue."

My wife committed adultery, which is obviously a wrongful conviction."

There seems to be such a principle. When Zhang Fei helped Cao Dongdong in his lawsuit, he checked the relevant laws and regulations. For example, the neighbors knew that Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian were having an affair, but no one went to report it. The reason was that only Wu Dalang

With the right to appeal, he said: "I don't see that you understand the law quite well, but...but did your wife commit adultery with that monk?"

Liu Qing shook her head and said, "That's not the key."

Zhang Fei saw that he was deliberately concealing it, so he said: "In an adultery case, no matter what the legal principles are, whether it is adultery or not, this is definitely the key, and principles are principles, but how do I know if there are other hidden things in it? You have to

Frankly tell me and I will decide whether to help you, otherwise, you can only hire someone else."

Liu Qing struggled for a while before saying: "Maybe... maybe there is."

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You can't say 'maybe' in a lawsuit. If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. You have to tell me truthfully, whether it is yes or no, or you don't know at all."

Liu Qing hesitated for a while, nodded and said, "Yes."

Wow... It seems that you are really broad-minded. Zhang Fei said slightly curiously: "So you don't hate your wife at all, and you are still trying to find ways to save her and her adulterer."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I muttered to myself, could this be his hobby?

Liu Qing immediately said: "Of course I don't want to save the monk, but if I want to save my wife, I must rescue the monk together."

Zhang Fei asked again: "So you don't mind your wife at all...!"

Liu Qing asked cautiously: "What does this have to do with this case?"

Zhang Fei said: "Of course it does matter. If you don't explain all this clearly, I may be silenced by questions in court."

"I...but of course I mind."

Liu Qing's voice became deeper and deeper, and tears gradually filled the corners of her eyes, "But it was because of me that my wife... committed adultery with that monk."

Zhang Fei became more and more confused as he listened, and said, "What on earth is going on?"

Liu Qing glanced at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei said with certainty: "If you have a grievance, I will definitely help you redress it."

Liu Qing received Zhang Fei's affirmative reply, and then told Zhang Fei the whole story.

It turned out that Liu Qing was originally from a wealthy family. He had loved reading since he was a child and was obsessed with gaining fame. His parents also supported him. Unfortunately, his father was forced to death because of his yamen service.

Jin was taken away by the government, and not long after, his mother also died of illness.

Only his wife never left him and encouraged him to study hard.

But someone had to take care of the money, rice, oil and salt, so Liu Qing studied and taught people to study here and there to earn some meager living expenses. But this was Bianliang, Tokyo, and students who failed were everywhere. He was not even qualified to take the scientific examination.

Scholars are difficult to hire.

Just when he was at a loss what to do, his wife suddenly told him that there was a large family in Ruixiang Township that was looking for tutors for young children, and asked Liu Qing to give it a try. As soon as Liu Qing went there, she was hired immediately, and the family also provided accommodation and food for him and his wife.

.

This made Liu Qing extremely happy.

During that period, there was a monk who was also a frequent visitor to the wealthy family. It was said that he was benevolent to that member of the family. Liu Qing had met him several times, so he was considered acquaintance.

It wasn't until one day that he overheard a conversation between his wife and the monk, and he learned that the two of them had an affair, and that he was able to come to teach at this foreigner's family only because of the monk's introduction.

The price may have been paid by his wife's sacrifice of her body.

Later, several scholars who knew him went to the temple to worship Buddha and discovered that his wife was having a tryst with the monk. They rushed directly to the room, caught the monk and his wife on the spot, and sent them to the imperial court.

Zhang Fei asked: "Didn't you expose them from the time you knew about this to the time when the adultery was discovered?"

Liu Qing shook her head.

Zhang Fei said: "Your wife doesn't know either. In fact, you already know about their adultery."

Liu Qing nodded.

Zhang Fei asked: "Why?"

Liu Qing choked up and said: "Because...because at that time I...I didn't know what to do? Several times, I really wanted to kill the adulterer and the adulterer, and then commit suicide, but every time I thought of My wife made such a sacrifice for me, and I feel very guilty. If I hadn't wanted to get a reputation and not find a job, how could I have fallen to this point? I wouldn't even I dare to mention this to my wife, I'm afraid it will hurt her, I...I can only pretend that I don't know."

After speaking, he covered his face with his hands and began to sob.

Why do all the cases that come to my hands are this kind of cases, and there is no such thing as a happy grudge? Zhang Fei sighed secretly in his heart, but did not disturb him, but sat aside and waited quietly, seeing that his mood calmed down a little. , then continued to ask: "Actually, what you said before is very reasonable. The husband will not sue and the officials will ignore it. Then I wonder what reason the imperial court used to reject your appeal?"

Liu Qingdao: "The imperial court believes that the husband will not complain and the officials will ignore it. This principle is to protect the wife and daughter from being framed by others and causing unjust imprisonment. However, this case happened in a temple, and it was an adultery with a monk. This is an obstacle to the rule." , it is a violation of ethics and moral customs. It is not inappropriate for others to arrest him. Moreover, he caught the adulterer in bed, so it no longer conforms to this principle."

Zhang Fei frowned and asked: "Suppose...suppose I help you rescue your wife, how...how would you face her?"

Liu Qing immediately raised her head, "I have figured it out these days. Compared to my wife, fame is nothing. I will take her to a place where no one knows us and live again."

Zhang Fei just nodded slightly, "Well, let me ask first to see why the Xiangfu County Imperial Court decided to sentence your wife to adultery. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform you."

"Thank you, Prosecutor Zhang."

Zhang Fei asked him to leave his personal information and went back first.

When I returned to the lobby, I saw Xu Zun, Qi Ji, and Wang Gong still sitting inside.

"What's the matter?" Xu Zun asked.

Zhang Fei said: "That man came to beg me to help him redress his injustice."

Wang Gong was surprised and said: "On the first day Prosecutor Zhang took office, someone came to appeal. Then we really need to reflect on it!"

Qi Ji smiled and nodded.

Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "You two are really complimenting me. In fact, this person should have appealed before, but it was rejected."

"Have you come to appeal?" Xu Zun asked curiously: "What kind of case is it?"

Zhang Fei said: "Have you ever heard of the adultery case at Liuyun Temple in Ruixiang Township, Xiangfu County?"

Xu Zun frowned slightly and stroked his beard, "I've never heard of it."

Qi Ji suddenly said: "I know about this case. It was actually a big fuss at the time. The Attorney General happened to be on sick leave at home at that time, so I may not have heard about it."

Having said this, he looked at Zhang Fei again, "Is it the husband of the raped wife who is here to appeal?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Has he also approached Inspector Qi?"

Qi Ji shook his head and said: "That's not true. He appealed in Xiangfu County, but the case became more famous because of his appeal. It is said that he was also ridiculed, but he still spared no effort to help him The wife seeks justice.”

Zhang Fei said: "I think what he said is reasonable. The imperial court should abide by the principle that adultery should be followed by the husband. Since he did not complain, his wife should not be convicted of adultery."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qi Jidao: "That's true, but this principle is to protect his wife, but his wife was directly caught and raped in bed, and it was still in a temple.

This caused great public opinion throughout Tokyo, and it is said that even Empress Dowager Cao was alarmed."

Zhang Fei was surprised: "Really or not?"

Qi Jidao: "It should be true, because at that time many scholar-bureaucrats and scholars were criticizing his wife and the monk. If the imperial court did not find them guilty, it might cause dissatisfaction among scholars all over the world, because this would lead to the decline of etiquette, law and morality, and would have a negative impact on our public prosecutors and prosecutors.
