Although Bianjing Law Firm reopened today, it was so deserted that it could break the opening record of any store.
There was only one guest, Sima Guang. The key point was that the old man was still laughing.
However.
The number one topic on today’s list is still “Bianjing Law Firm”.
It's because the contrast is so huge.
After Zhang Fei sought justice for the historians, the Fan family bookstore was full for a time.
Everyone is looking forward to the Fan family’s tax calculation business.
Because there are indeed too many tricks in this commercial tax, many government agencies are trying to collect more taxes in different ways.
Especially for small businessmen, they are too insecure. If they are unlucky, they may lose all their money.
As for wealthy businessmen like Fan Yong and Chen Maoqian, they have another way of playing the game. What they consider is not justice, but profit.
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
He opened the door and died on the spot.
As the most powerful official in the Song Dynasty, Sansi has too many tricks to make it impossible for you to continue your business, even if it is not illegal.
Because the imperial court was the largest merchant, the source of all bulk commodities was controlled by the imperial court.
Who dares to disobey?
No solution!
However, this does not mean that the store cannot be opened. If there is any grievance, the first choice will definitely be Zhang Fei.
This position cannot be replaced by anyone.
But for Zhang Fei, it is difficult to become bigger and stronger simply by litigating without the support of other legal services.
Any transaction must be extensive in order to make big money.
Of course, litigation is still the most important thing. If you can't get justice, naturally no one will come to you for legal services.
The two also complement each other.
Su Shi's lawsuit is definitely a piece of cake.
Su Shi is now very famous in Bianjing, and his lawsuit will definitely attract the attention of many people.
Must be treated with caution.
Why Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian wanted to go home to study the situation was not because they had beds at home, but because the law firm's archives had not yet been established, and a large amount of information was still in the Xu family.
When the two returned home, they immediately started studying.
With the experience last time, Xu Zhiqian was even more familiar with it this time.
Know how to research.
However, there are currently no copyright regulations in the Song Dynasty. All cases are controlled cases, and they are all related households. They can be said to be special cases.
Usually it is officials or well-known scholar-bureaucrats who are unhappy with some piracy and complain to the government.
After all, their status is here, and the government will usually send officials to take a look.
Just be polite and advise, don’t print it, don’t print it, don’t flood it with water after printing it, and avoid typos.
He just smashed the printing plate without being polite.
Of course, it's more about taking the opportunity to ask for money.
After leaving, it was impossible for those civil servants and officials to worry about this matter every day.
Su Shi is quite narrow-minded and will definitely complain whenever he sees it.
But this is not even talking about public security control, it is purely to give face.
The two studied for a whole day and came to the conclusion that if they wanted to reach the level of litigation, the theft method was the most suitable.
But this is not what Zhang Fei wants, nor is it what Su Shi wants.
If it is just to kill this Jijuxian Bookstore, this is of course possible, but what Zhang Fei and Su Shi want is copyright law.
There is still a big difference between theft law and copyright law. The two cannot be completely classified into the same category. Doing so will cause many legal problems.
The key point is that the definition of theft law is too narrow, and it is difficult to fill in the content and create a new law.
After the two discussed for a day, there was no result.
The next morning, Xu Zhiqian came to Zhang's house again, and old man Xu Zun, who happened to be at home on vacation, followed him silently.
As a scholar, I am also very interested in this lawsuit.
"I thought of a person last night, and he inspired me a lot."
Seeing the father and daughter, Zhang Fei said excitedly.
Xu Zhiqian asked hurriedly: "Who is it?"
"Song Jiang." Zhang Fei said excitedly.
"Song Jiang?"
The father and daughter looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Yes! Song Jiang may not have even been born yet. Oh my god, I'm so excited.
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "I don't care who this Song Jiang is, the main thing is that I thought of an example. It is that this Song Jiang wrote a poem. This poem quoted some ancient rebellious figures, so the court sentenced him to violate the law."
Xu Zhiqian said: "That should be a crime of treason."
Zhang Fei said: "But he just recited a poem and had no motive for rebellion. Can this be considered a crime of rebellion?"
Xu Zun muttered: "If there is no motive and action, then we cannot be charged with treason, but should be charged with 'making a coat, writing a coat of words'."
(Note: Yao is the same as the demon, and he also wrote, creating a demon book and demon words)
Zhang Fei was startled and asked hurriedly: "My lord, what kind of crime is this?"
Xu Zundao: "This crime belongs to the 'thief law' in the law of thieves and thieves. It has been in existence since the Qin and Han Dynasties. This law in our dynasty is based on the "Tang Code Review". It has not changed a word, but it was changed due to the pardon order. Become different.”
The pardon order is similar to the edict, but most of them refer to the emperor's interpretation of the law. Generally, the emperor gives an explanation to a certain legal text in the form of an imperial edict, which is also regarded as a decree.
It can be seen that from a legislative perspective, the emperor is also higher than the law.
Of course, as far as the Song Dynasty system was concerned, the pardon order had to be discussed with the ministers, and there were very strict procedures. It did not mean that the emperor could do whatever he wanted.
During the previous trial of Ayun, Shenzong's ruling included a pardon for surrendering and commuting his sentence, because the issue at that time was whether Ayun was eligible for the surrender and commutation regulations, and the emperor's pardon expresses one meaning, that it is suitable.
But later, the ministers all rejected it.
Suitable for shit!
Do you, Zhao Xu, know the law?
If you don’t understand, don’t bb.
But usually the emperor's pardon orders are for the increase or decrease of punishment, for example, one hundred rods or fifty rods. There are very few additions and explanations to the text.
It can be seen that Ayun Yiyu has many special places.
Whether the emperor can fight for his own interests through interpretation of the law is yes, but it is difficult.
Zhang Fei quickly picked up a copy of "Song Xingtong" and started to look it up.
Xu Zhiqian also picked up a copy. She was actually not very familiar with this law, because it was rarely used and she had never encountered it.
Even if she encounters it, she is not qualified to intervene. This is a matter that belongs to the emperor.
"found it!"
Just listen to Zhang Fei's words: "The same is true for those who use Chuan to confuse the public; Chuan means rumor. Use means using books. Those who dissatisfy the public will flow for three thousand miles. Those whose words are harmless will be given a hundred sticks. That is, If you have a private Zoroastrian script, even if it is useless, it will only last two years; if your words and reasoning are harmless, you will receive a staff of sixty."
There will be further discussions later.
For example, how to convict people in the book of making a coat and the book of passing on a coat respectively.
Another example is, how many people.
It is written clearly and clearly.
After reading it, Zhang Fei asked: "Can this crime define the crime of anti-poetry?"
Xu Zun nodded and said: "Although this crime is mainly aimed at the words of ghosts and gods, and the book of strange powers, if there are insinuating or fanning words in the poem, it is also classified as misleading the public, and the crime can be investigated.
The biggest difference between this and the crime of treason is whether there is actual action. If there is, it is treason. If not, it is this crime. However, this crime can also be punished by hanging. "
In fact, the literary prison stems from this crime.
Zhang Fei asked: "Why is it classified as a crime to confuse people with words?"
Xu Zundao: "Of course it's because this crime will endanger the country and the country."
Zhang Fei asked again: "From a legal perspective, are the two causally related?"
Xu Zun nodded and said, "Of course."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "That's it."
Xu Zhiqian suddenly said: "Zhang San, do you want to harm Mr. Su?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "How do you say this?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Didn't you talk about piracy before? Why did you mention the crime of Yao Yan again? If you are punished for this crime, wouldn't the defendant be Mr. Su?"
Although the collection of poems was printed by Jijuxian, if one were to judge Aoyan as a crime, the content would definitely be punished rather than being a pirated copy.
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this: "This is a good idea. With Mr. Su's reputation, if we bring him in, there will be enough gimmicks."
I was thinking about whether I should let Su Shi experience this literary prison in advance, so as to teach him a lesson and not to be blind in the future.
Xu Zun frowned when he heard this, "What are you talking about?"
Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "Don't blame me, I'm just joking. I'm not trying to harm anyone, I'm trying to legislate, so the government and the opposition must pay enough attention to it."
Xu Zun said in surprise: "Legislation? Why do you legislate?"
Silly!
You, a person with a sharp ear, actually want to legislate?
This is even more outrageous than the ancestral law that sets the tone. After all, it is just a fight for the right to interpret, and legislation must follow formal procedures.
Zhang Fei said hey, "I have my own way."
Xu Zhiqian said: "If you want to sue Mr. Su, then I won't help you."
Zhang Fei said: "Don't worry, I will never do this..."
At this moment, I suddenly heard Li Si outside the door shouting: "Third brother, third brother, madam, they are back."
"They came back faster than I thought!"
Zhang Fei looked happy and said to Xu Zhiqian, "We'll talk about it later."
After saying that, Zhang Fei went out immediately.
But except for Shi Tingxiu, everyone else came back.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Zhang Fei asked with a smile.
The black servant Niu Beiqing crowded forward and said, "We heard that our benefactor was in trouble, so we rushed back immediately. Erlang has to keep his filial piety for his brother, so he is not allowed to come for the time being."
"Trouble?"
Zhang Fei was dumbfounded and wondered, why didn't I know I was in trouble?
Feng Nanxi said: "We heard that our benefactor opened a new shop and was ostracized by the court and his peers."
Originally they planned to stay for three months, but when they heard about the tax calculation, they rushed back to help.
"So it's because of this!"
Only then did Zhang Fei react, and suddenly glanced at Gao Wenyin, but saw that the young woman was much haggard, her eyes were still a little red and swollen, and she was thinking a little, so he said: "You may as well come back, I am short of manpower."
Niu Beiqing immediately said: "If you need anything, my benefactor, just ask me."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "We are still planning, you go and take a rest first."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Gao Wenyin, "Madam."
Gao Wenyin hurriedly saluted as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Wen Yin has met...husband...jun."
The word "Jun" is almost inaudible.
Zhang Fei didn't care and said, "I see Madam is quite tired. Let's go back to the house and rest first."
"yes."
Gao Wenyin nodded slightly and walked to the backyard with a dull expression.
After she left, Zhang Fei complained to Feng Nancy: "Is this how you take care of people?"
Feng Nanxi sighed: "To be honest with my benefactor, we are also very sad to see my sister-in-law like this. We were thinking about asking her to come back early, but no matter how much we tried to persuade her, it was in vain. After hearing about this, my sister-in-law took the initiative to ask her to come back. .”
Zhang Fei nodded slightly, thinking that he had to take some time to chat with her.
