In fact, it's not because Zhang Fei is lazy and doesn't want to read. He also often reads Song Xingtong. It's just that his talent in this area is indeed not as good as that of Sima Guang and Su Che, so it is impossible for him to memorize everything.
In this case, he only focused on the key points, and left all the complicated tasks to those with higher talents.
Since he became the president of the court, one of the key points in "Song Xingtong" that he paid most attention to was the pocket crime.
Therefore, he remembered very clearly the discussion about “doing something undeserved” and did not need to read it accordingly.
It shows that he has done some research.
Although based on the legal knowledge and legal thoughts he has learned, he definitely disapproves of pocket crimes, but he also has to admit that the current pocket crimes are an important basis for him to build a legal system.
What is a pocket crime? Whatever you do can be thrown into it, and then it becomes a crime and punished.
Of course, it is impossible for you to break the law even if you just have a meal. Usually pocket crimes are still applied. You do have some inappropriate behavior, but the scary thing is that the punishment for your inappropriate behavior is uncertain. Still can't refute.
That is to say, serious crimes are punished with light sentences and misdemeanors are punished with heavy sentences.
Su Zhe's concern also refers to this point. This crime is inherently vague and the punishment is up to you, so how can our procuratorate supervise it?
Everything you say is right.
However, shaping pocket crimes is Zhang Fei's purpose.
By substantiating pocket crimes and turning them into specific regulations, it will be easier to achieve your goals.
This is like turning a lump of mud into a cup, which is obviously much easier than changing the shape of a cup.
Zhang Fei rarely changes existing provisions. In military law, he adds guiding principles.
In civil law, he looks for pocket crimes, fills them up, shapes them into the shape he wants, and cancels the pocket crimes by the way.
The purpose of today's penalty is to turn this pocket crime in miscellaneous laws into a public security management penalty regulation.
This type of regulations was precisely what the Song Dynasty lacked.
In fact, Song Xingtong also had very detailed regulations in this regard, but they were all aimed at the death penalty, and the lightest sentence was a prison sentence, because what ancient times pursued was not development, but stability.
In this regard, the punishment is very severe.
Of course, officials often give lenient sentences based on the severity of the circumstances, but lenient sentences are usually slapped with dozens of boards.
But as far as the legal profession is concerned, there is a big gap.
Obviously it is not conducive to the development of the legal system.
As Su Zhe said, for the same behavior, some people will be caught and some will not. If this happens in large numbers, there will be no law in the hearts of the people, only class.
This is extremely detrimental to the promotion of the legal system.
Today's trial is just an introduction, the purpose is to introduce the Public Security Management Regulations and Punishment Law, but the process is far more thrilling than Zhang Fei imagined.
As soon as Su Che walked away, the culprit and Ma Xiaoyi walked shoulder to shoulder, humming Liu Sanbian's ditty, and came to the lake.
A few of them came here, rarely informed, and just rushed inside.
"How dare you two come here?"
Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi with great anger.
Xu Zhiqian on the side also glared at the two of them with great displeasure.
They were really frightened just now.
This Cao Dongdong cannot afford to lose anything. You must know that Zhang Fei has done a lot of things before, attracting trouble to himself, just so that the police station can make a fortune silently.
"Why don't you dare to come?"
Cao Dongdong sat down, poured himself wine, and had a nice drink.
If he could beat him, Zhang Fei would definitely knock his wine glass away.
Ma Xiaoyi came up and said in surprise: "Third brother, did you really not see that we were all acting just now?"
"No!"
Zhang Fei roared.
Ma Xiaoyi scratched his head, "This shouldn't be the case!"
Cao Dongdong chuckled, "What's wrong with this? My acting skills are so superb. Is it normal that he can't tell?"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "But this trick was taught by Third Brother. Third Brother, you have no reason and can't see it!"
Xu Zhiqian immediately looked at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei immediately said with an innocent look on his face: "Xiao Ma! Don't talk nonsense. When did I teach you such dirty tricks?"
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Didn't the third brother use this trick in the lawsuit between my brother and Coach Lin? First, he made his brother a heinous bad guy, and then reversed it in court, making both the Queen Mother and Uncle Cao have feelings for him. Feeling guilty, we are just doing it again."
The atmosphere solidified instantly.
Zhang Fei was stunned.
Xu Zhiqian said lightly: "You really taught me."
"Ahem!"
Zhang Fei scratched his neck, sat down, took the jug from Cao Dongdong's hand, poured himself a glass, and after holding it for a long time, he said: "But I didn't teach you to brag about how you have a group of wives and concubines, and you are uninhibited. You are the superintendent, not the office. You must pay attention to your image. Haven't you seen that not all people support you?
Do you still remember that when I used this trick, I hid it from you, so that you would show a sense of grievance, anger, and injustice in the hall. This is the subtlety of this trick. at. "
Cao Dongdong immediately said: "How could I not know this? I have been studying this move of yours for a long time. In fact, I also showed anger just now, but Xiaochun asked me to show a kind of bohemianness again."
"This is all because of your own inherent nature."
I saw Fu Shichun walking over.
Xu Zhiqian muttered: "Okay! All the suspects have arrived."
Zhang Fei asked: "Brother Xiaochun, what on earth is going on?"
Fu Shichun sat down and explained the whole thing in general.
It turned out that the disarmament issue in those days caused those soldiers to make trouble everywhere, but Ma Xiaoyi was so excited that he arrested people everywhere. Cao Dongdong, who was sitting in the office, felt itchy when he saw it, so he went out to look for work.
In fact, he didn't go to South Street to have fun because he was out of office, but he went to South Street specifically to see if he could be a hero and save the beauty, because he knew that in a place like that where fireworks were happening, the probability of an accident was very high.
Moreover, he also borrowed the idea of Bianjing's plainclothes policemen and deliberately wore civilian clothes.
In the end, he really got a chance.
The purpose of Fu Shichun's coming here was to keep an eye on Cao Dongdong. He was extremely careful about the prisoners brought by Cao Dongdong. At that time, Fu Shichun was on guard, fearing that others would use this to deal with Cao Dongdong.
Sure enough, when Fu Shichun secretly contacted Han Dongniang, he found that Han Dongniang had been threatened, so he took advantage of Han Dongniang's desire to leave Wanhua Tower and drew Han Dongniang to his side, asking her to give a truthful confession.
That's why today's scene happened.
Xu Zhiqian immediately asked: "Since you knew that Han Dongniang was threatened, why didn't you let her tell the matter in court."
Fu Shichun said: "That's because the other party just used the words of the Wanhualou Madam to threaten Han Dongniang. If the Madam doesn't admit it in court, we won't have evidence to convict them. Then I thought, it's better to take advantage of this, Go force the Madam to terminate her contract with Han Dongniang."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and asked, "Then do you know who the real murderer is?"
Fu Shichun shook his head and said: "The old bustard will never tell the person behind the scenes."
Zhang Fei sighed, "They must have discovered this problem because of this. In fact, the law can be used to deal with the public prosecutors. And now they are hiding it and we are revealing it. You must be extremely careful in the future."
Fu Shichun said: "This is why I asked Yanei to say that in court. This guy's nature is hard to change. I think that instead of covering up his preferences, it is better to use this case to speak out openly. After all, this case is about He’s very advantageous.”
When this guy was tinkering with the romance news, he was already very skilled in helping the geisha set up various characters to make these romance news full of interest.
Zhang Fei nodded and glanced at Cao Dongdong secretly, but when he saw this guy shaking his head and drinking, he didn't care at all, so he smiled secretly, "Yeah!" This guy never cared about what the people would think of him. What he cared about most was what Queen Mother Cao thought. He added: "Currently it is only limited to the city for convenience and control, but the next autumn tax will cover the entire Hezhong Mansion, and now that the other party has discovered this attack point, you must be extremely careful about the autumn tax.
Remember, the royal police are only responsible for passively calculating taxes, and are not to take the initiative to interrogate people. All issues should be waited until afterwards to make plans. "
In ancient times, tax collection was always the source of conflicts and involved too many areas.
Cao Dongdong said carelessly: "Don't worry, we've done it once, we know how to do it, and we won't make mistakes."
Ma Xiaoyi rested his chin on his hand and lay on the table, "Third brother, you haven't commented on my performance today. Those answers were all figured out by myself."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Very good. From now on, Chief Ma can represent the police station to testify in court on a long-term basis and assist the Royal Court in the trial."
Ma Xiaoyi suddenly became energetic and sat upright, "Really?"
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said, "I will help you build that seat."
Ma Xiaoyi said excitedly: "Thank you, third brother."
Zhang Fei looked at Fu Shichun again and said, "Brother Xiaochun, you may be busy recently."
Fu Shichun immediately said: "I'm very busy now."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Cao Dongdong.
Zhang Fei said: "But there is no other way. Our imperial court is ready to cooperate with the procuratorate and the police department to formulate public security management and punishment regulations. Your police department is on the front line and has sufficient experience!"
"I don't have much experience." Fu Shichun shook his head.
Zhang Fei said: "You are just a representative. You can discuss the details with Xiao Ma and the others, but you must participate. Otherwise, if your police station does not know the specific regulations, it will bring a lot of trouble to the police station."
Fu Shichun suddenly felt hopeless.
Zhang Fei didn't care about him, he was just here to do this work, and then explained to them in detail what this labor service meant and how it should be performed.
This aspect will be implemented by Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi.
They like this.
Although the regulations on public security management penalties are still in the preparatory stage, they are actually being implemented.
This is Zhang Fei's power. His jurisprudence is just a suggestion. He decides first and then changes it. This is also to protect the power of the Legislative Council. The president of the court has no legislative power.
The next day.
Xu Jingtian, Lu Twelve and others came to the police station early to report with hoes and brooms.
None of those sentenced yesterday were imprisoned.
The reason is simple, there is no such condition.
I don’t even know where the prison cell in the imperial court is yet.
"Come with me!"
After signing, Ma Xiaoyi shook his head and led a group of several royal police officers out of the police station.
But I saw that the door was crowded with people eating melons, all of them were young men or soldiers. They also came specially to see what this labor was about.
A large group of people followed them.
Xu Jingtian shouted unhappily: "You people are really weird. Why don't you have your own business to do? Why are you following us? Get lost!"
A young man responded: "Only you are allowed to walk on this street. You are not allowed to leave. We are not breaking the law. How can you control me?"
Xu Jingtian glanced at Ma Xiaoyi resentfully, but Ma Xiaoyi didn't care at all and led them to the vicinity of the crime scene, which was an alley behind East Street.
Xu Jingtian and the others all knew this alley. It was a notorious place for all the guests in the restaurant to urinate or even defecate at night!
After all, latrines are not very convenient these days, and East Street is a restaurant district. As long as the weather is hot, the place will smell bad.
They themselves are also one of the regular customers!
Ma Xiaoyi covered his mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief, "Your task today is to clean up this place."
"Chief Ma, we can't do this!" Xu Jingtian said with tears in his eyes.
Ma Xiaoyi said: "Who made you offend President Zhang? Go in and clean up. Otherwise, the consequences will only be more serious."
There is no way!
Xu Jingtian and the others could only walk in with tears in their eyes.
Oh my God!
The onlookers felt palpitations at this time, constantly reminding themselves, never make trouble, never make trouble.
this is too scary!
at dusk.
Wanhua Tower!
"Wow, why are there so many guests today?"
"Yes! It's all full!"
When the two scholars came to Wanhua Tower, they were surprised to see that there was a lot of people inside.
Coming to a nearby wine table, a scholar asked: "Sir, why is the business here so good today?"
"Because there will be a wonderful show later."
"I'm coming!"
A shout was heard, and everyone looked up, only to see a woman walking down the stairs.
It was Han Dongniang.
Two more men were seen walking up, it was Kong Tai and Sun Sheng.
It turned out that after some dealings with Lu Bangxing, Zhang Fei finally gave them a chance. If they were willing to sincerely apologize to Han Dongniang, then they would not be allowed to dump the shit.
After all, the meaning of an apology is far greater than asking them to dump their shit.
The audience immediately shouted: "A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
"A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!"
"Ha ha---!"
We must cheer them up!
Kong Tai and Sun Sheng's faces were as red as a monkey's butt.
But they would rather apologize than dump shit.
"Ahem!"
Kong Tai coughed twice.
The scene immediately became quiet.
Kong Tai opened his mouth and glanced at Royal Policeman Ou Jun beside him.
Ou Jun whispered: "Dear guests."
Kong Tai nodded and said loudly: "Dear guests!"
This opening made the guests burst into laughter.
Kong Tai lowered his head and continued to read: "I, Kong Tai, was once a soldier of the Yongxing Army. I also maintained public security in Hezhong Mansion and arrested thieves. I should know how to abide by the law better than ordinary people!"
As he read, Guanzhong laughed in the audience.
It turns out that Zhang Fei wrote this himself because he thought Xu Zhiqian's writing was not profound enough.
After reciting eloquently for a long time, Kong Tai and Sun Sheng raised their teacups and handed them to Han Dongniang, "Here, I, Kong Tai (Sun Sheng), would like to ask Han Dongniang to forgive us for our drunken rudeness. We promise that we will never do it again next time. "
"Ha ha!"
When the guests saw this scene, they laughed until tears came out.
Han Dongniang pursed her lips, tried her best to hold back her smile, waved her hands and said, "You can drink your tea by yourselves. I forgive you."
