Summer afternoons are always drowsy.

"ah.....!"

Fan Li, who was sitting at the counter, held his head, squinted and yawned.

Once upon a time, he was also a struggling middle-aged man.

But since Zhang Fei came, he has completely lost his fighting spirit. He only wants peace and security, not a position at the top of the industry, nor a fortune.

In just one spring, he understood a profound truth.

Stay alive!

Living is the most important thing.

Now he is living a very relaxed and comfortable life.

He didn't want to wake up.

but....

Winter winter winter!

A crisp knock on the table woke him up from his drowsiness.

Fan Li looked up and was shocked.

"San...Saburo!"

Zhang Fei touched his face, "I haven't seen you for a few days, have I become so scary?"

"No...no."

Fan Li shook his head and said, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Fei glanced back from the corner of his eye and replied shyly: "Someone wants to sue me?"

"What? Is there anyone else who wants to file a lawsuit against you?" Fan Li said in surprise.

Lu Jiawen, who was following Zhang Fei, couldn't help laughing.

Fan Li glanced at the young man behind Zhang Fei. Since Lu Jiawen took office not long ago, he didn't know him. He just realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his face was full of embarrassment.

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Should we still do business?"

"Do...of course I do."

Fan Li asked in a low voice: "What lawsuit?"

"A small... small lawsuit, a business dispute." Zhang Fei said with a simple and honest look.

Fan Li didn't believe it, but he saw that Lu Jiawen was very young, and thought that this young man looked quite elegant, so it shouldn't be a fatal lawsuit. Then he warned in a low voice: "Don't make it too difficult."

"Won't!"

Zhang Fei patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, we'll make it smaller this time."

"Then...then I will believe you again." Fan Li nodded.

An hour later.

"We can't accept it! Saburo, just listen to me! This lawsuit is really unacceptable. Once you accept it, it will be over!"

Fan Li was lying on the table, shaking his head towards Zhang Fei with tears streaming down his face.

Zhang Fei looked at Lu Jia who was standing aside and asked, "Lu Jia, you also saw that my partner wouldn't let me pick him up, so I...!"

Lu Jia asked if he was not as kind as before. He frowned and looked at Fan Li, "Exceptor Fan, why don't you accept my lawsuit?"

"I.....!"

Fan Li was at a loss for words. He suddenly remembered that this Lu Jiawen was a member of the judicial army in Kaifeng County, not an ordinary citizen. "Lu Jiawen, you... aren't you an official who has been killed?"

You, a judge, want to bring a lawsuit against me, a tea-eater?

That's outrageous.

Lu Jiawen straightened his back, showing off his official authority, and asked with a deep eyebrow, "What is my identity, and what does it have to do with this lawsuit?"

Fan Li slowly turned his head and looked at Zhang Fei aggrievedly.

Zhang Fei shrugged, "You decide."

Snapped!

"Zhang Sanlang!"

Fan Li slammed the table and jumped up, "Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think you don't know that you are going to take revenge on that Wang Zhixian? Unfortunately, I thought you were reflecting at home, but it turns out that you... you are going to get worse."

Zhang Fei asked: "Sign or not?"

….

Fan Li snorted: "You sign! If you can, just sign! If you want to die, I can't hold you back."

"Okay, I'll sign it!"

"Saburo!"

Fan Li knelt down again and said with tears in his eyes: "If you don't think about it anymore, this... this is really not a joke. There is no reason for the Court of Governors to sue the county government!"

Zhang Fei said: "We don't need to worry about this. We are just responsible for the appeal. Whether we accept it or not is a matter for the government."

Fan Li was startled and thought, yes! Kaifeng Mansion should not have such an outrageous lawsuit. If he didn't answer, he wouldn't sue. Then he said: "The government won't accept it, so why are you suing me?"

"Isn't this forced?" Zhang Fei asked, glancing at Lu Jia who looked fierce.

Fan Li snorted and whispered: "Don't lie to me. I know what happened. How could it be such a coincidence? That happened just now, and in the blink of an eye you will sue Kaifeng County."

Zhang Fei stopped pretending and asked, "Do you still want to get slapped?"

Fan Li shook his head.

Zhang Fei said: "Then you have to sue us. Otherwise, why don't they beat you? Even if you close the door, you can't escape."

Fan Li was silent for a while and sighed: "How could I be so stupid to think that you would really reflect at home?"

After saying that, he also stood up.

Zhang Fei signed the contract with Lu Jiawen. Later, Lu Jiawen stamped the official seal of the Siliyuan, while Zhang Fei stamped the seal of the firm.

...

Kaifeng Mansion has two halls on the left and right, each with a judge. Major criminal cases are generally heard here.

In fact, for many cases, even if you take them to the provincial government, Mr. Lu will most likely hand them over to the left and right departments, with the exception of Zhang Fei.

This time Zhang Fei took the conventional route and went directly to the left hall to appeal without any special privileges.

After the papers were handed over, almost half an hour passed before the doorman took them in.

When I came to the hall, I saw two people sitting in the hall, wearing the same official clothes and about the same age, about forty years old.

Lu Jiawen bowed his hands to the man on the left, "Your Majesty, Lu Jiawen, has met Judge Cen. He has met Judge Yu."

Zhang Fei also bowed accordingly.

The man on the left is the judge of the left hall, Cen Yuanli, and the man on the right is the judge of the right hall, Yu Zaishen.

The judges of the two halls often meet to discuss, because if some criminal cases are inappropriate, Mr. Lu will put them in another hall for trial. This mutual trial mechanism actually allows them to supervise each other, but the relationship between the two is good. In order to avoid Awkward, the two often discuss things secretly.

In some cases of sentencing, they will prepare two plans. If one does not work, they will give another one.

Cen Yuanli looked at Lu Jia and asked, "Lu Jia, are you just sitting around with nothing to do? Or do you think we are sitting around with nothing to do?"

Lu Jiawen cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare, the lower official."

Cen Yuanli picked up the paper on the table and raised it in front of Lu Jiawen, "Then what do you mean by this?"

Yu Zaishen happened to be there, and the two judges looked at it for a long time, but they didn't understand what the paper meant.

The Siyuan Yuan under the jurisdiction of the county government actually sued the county government.

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "Don't blame Judge Cen, please listen to me...!"

Cen Yuanli glared at Zhang Fei, "I haven't talked about you yet, why did you come to my place today? Don't you like..."

….

He originally wanted to say, go to the provincial government and file a lawsuit, that is your home.

Suddenly realizing that these words should not be said nonsense, Li Kaiji would beat them up. Without waiting for Zhang Fei's answer, he waved his hand: "Don't speak for now. I'll ask you, and you can speak later."

After warning Zhang Fei, he asked Lu Jia: "What on earth is going on?"

He knew Zhang Fei very well. He was young but definitely a cunning old man. He let him talk, and as he talked, he got sucked into it.

[By the way, currently the best one for reading and listening to books, @

"Do you want to try my plate?"

"...!"

Zhang Fei looked depressed and thought to himself, I know that if I don't fight hard this time, I will be beaten first wherever I go from now on. I want to break it in the front, but I can't break it. I don't want to break it in the back, but there are people who want to give me something every day. Damn, this is such a bully!

Fortunately, Lu Jiawen was not an idiot, and said to Cen Yuanli: "Replying to Judge Cen, the reason why I did this is because I felt that this was not an error in the judgment of Wangzhi County, but an error in the judgment of Kaifeng County."

Cen Yuanli wondered: "Isn't this the same thing? What you said above is what Wangzhi County sentenced."

Lu Jia asked: "Wangzhi County is a county chief. He is in charge of administration, and justice is only second. Therefore, when Wangzhi County tried this case, he first considered administration, not justice.

Wei Yushan has a great reputation in Kaifeng County. He has also paid for the construction of water conservancy and roads in the township. This is related to the political performance of Wangzhi County, and this incident happened three years ago. It is relatively complicated to investigate, and it may take a long time. After spending a lot of manpower and material resources, the official believed that Wang Zhixian chose to settle the matter out of political performance considerations.

This kind of phenomenon can be found in many states and counties, and the lower officials also understand the difficulties of Wang Zhixian.

However, the official was a member of the judicial army, and his duty was to resolve the case. Such injustice could not be tolerated. Therefore, the official appealed to the county government in the name of the Siliyuan. The official just wanted to seek justice for Geng Ming, but had no intention of offending the king. County magistrate. "

His tone was sincere and sincere, but in Cen Yuanli's view, this was pure nonsense and hypocrisy. If you sue the county government, then Magistrate Wang will stay out of the matter. Do you think we are stupid?

Just as he was about to reprimand Lu Jia, Yu Zaishen next to him suddenly asked Zhang Fei, "Did you instigate this?"

Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Judge Yu Mingjian, it was Justice Lu who came to see me on his own initiative."

"Yeah?"

Yu Zaishen smiled slightly.

Cen Yuanli also reacted, yes! This guy had a problem with Wang Hong, and it was just over half a month ago. This is clearly revenge!

"I don't dare to deceive you two."

Zhang Fei raised his hand and said: "But the people admire Lu Juji's integrity and courage very much. If Lu Juji writes to the court, this may become a political issue and even lead to mutual impeachment among officials, destroying the harmony of the court. But in the end, this case is only a judicial issue, not an administrative issue, and it should be resolved through judicial means. This is why ordinary people choose to come here to file a complaint."

….

Yu Zaishen asked again: "But the imperial court does not have such regulations, allowing government agencies to sue government agencies."

Zhang Fei said: "So this is tacit approval."

"You kid...!"

"Brother Cen, please be patient."

Yu Zaishen first stopped Cen Yuanli with one hand, and then asked Lu Jiawen and Zhang Fei, "You guys go back first, we still have to discuss this matter."

"I excuse myself."

"Xiaomin, please retire."

As soon as they left, Cen Yuanli said, "Do we still need to discuss this? This is simply nonsense. If we really accept it, we might even be punished by the court."

Yu Zaishen turned around and said, "Brother Cen, do you still remember that the Judicial Bachelor has proposed judicial reform to the government and obtained the government's approval?"

Cen Yuanli said: "How could I not know this, but what does this have to do with this matter?"

Yu Zaishen smiled bitterly and said, "Aren't Lu Jiawen and Zhang San implying that this is a judicial issue, not an administrative issue? This is the reason for them to accuse the Kaifeng County Government."

Cen Yuanli frowned: "You mean, the Siliyuan wants to use this lawsuit to control judicial power."

Yu Zaishen nodded.

Cen Yuanli whispered: "Isn't this a bit impatient?"

Yu Zaishen said: "This is not a matter of urgency or lack of urgency, but a matter of whether politics and law can really be separated with a single decree from the imperial court? Think about it, how many officials are Wang Hong and how many officials are Lu Jiawen and Wang Hong really want to intervene?" Judiciary, Lu Jia asked, can you not listen? But if we can win this lawsuit, that's another matter."

Cen Yuanli seemed a little

hesitate.

The only ones above them are Lu Gongzhu and Li Kai. If they have more than one level, they are incomparable.

If Lu Jia's question can be successful, then we...

The lure of power.

Cen Yuanli's eyes flickered, but he said anxiously: "I'm just afraid of getting into trouble!"

Yu Zaishen said: "After Lu Jiawen found out about this, let's spread the news first and see what happens. But I think Bachelor Sima will definitely come out to support us. And we can also use this to unite the judicial officials. This can be said from top to bottom. Tong, maybe this thing can really work out, but even if it doesn’t work out, it has nothing to do with us.”

Cen Yuanli thought about it and said, "But have you considered Zhang San? He obviously wants to use us to take revenge on Wang Hong."

Yu Zaishen said: "So he also knows that he wants to give us benefits. This is because Wang Hong's penalty is unfair. Coupled with Zhang San's ability, as long as he can go to court, the chance of winning is not small!"

Cen Yuanli was very moved, "Okay! Let's release the news first and see what happens before we make a decision."

Justice of the Northern Song Dynasty.
