This Xue Xiang must have stayed in the Procuratorate, because as long as he goes out, he will definitely be arrested by Yushitai. Once he enters Taiwan Prison, even if the Procuratorate files charges, he may not be able to get him out, and Yushitai can ignore it. Procuratorate.
So now it depends on the procuratorate's decision whether to accept Xue Xiang's prosecution.
First of all, of course, we need to review the evidence submitted by Xue Xiang. If the evidence is not enough, then there is nothing to say.
"What do you think?"
After reviewing Xue Xiang's evidence, Xu Zun looked at Zhang Fei, Wang Gong, and Qi Ji.
Qi Ji took the lead and said: "Based on the evidence provided by Xue Xiang, it seems that someone is behind this case. However, his evidence cannot overturn the confessions of those people. Then we cannot overturn the judgment of Yushitai. We This unnecessary move will only offend a lot of people.”
Wang Gong shook his head and said: "You can't say that. The key is that Xue Xiang provided corresponding evidence to prove that he was not involved in the case. However, the Yushitai judged Xue Xiang guilty. According to our public prosecutor's system, Look, this is enough to meet the standard for prosecution, because our public prosecutors and prosecutors are based on the rule of law and defend the legitimate rights and interests of individuals."
"That's true."
Qi Ji couldn't help but rub his forehead with a headache. This really made him feel a little at a loss. Suddenly, he looked at Zhang Fei and said, "Prosecutor Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang Fei pretended to ponder, and after a while, he said: "I think this should be regarded as two cases. The Shipping Department is mainly targeted by Yushitai, but Xue Xiang is the shipping envoy, so he is counted as the first offender, and Xue Xiang is the shipping department. Xiang is suing Yushitai in his own name, and although the two are intertwined, we should focus more on Xue Xiang personally, then the evidence he provides will be enough to prosecute."
The Yushitai uses the old system to conduct trials, but the Public Security Bureau is a new system. The two have contradictory understandings of justice, and they cannot accommodate each other. If the Public Security Bureau accommodates the Yushitai, then the Public Security Bureau system will be completely destroyed. ah!
Qi Ji and Wang Gong looked at each other.
Of course, this evidence is enough for prosecution, but if he prosecutes Yushitai, it may trigger a battle for judicial power, or even a fight between the public prosecutor and the conservatives.
Is it worth it?
Xu Zun saw what they were thinking, so he said: "You don't have to think too much, we just need to discuss the matter. As long as we do this, no matter what happens, I will bear the responsibility."
When he said this, Qi Ji and Wang Gong immediately understood.
But Qi Ji said more conservatively: "I think with this evidence, at least our procuratorate should investigate the case and wait until more evidence is obtained before deciding whether to prosecute."
Zhang Fei and Wang Gong also nodded to express their support.
The prosecution will directly enter the judicial process, and the imperial court will intervene, and there will be no turning back. The key point is that this situation has never been encountered before!
No one knows what kind of conflicts will arise.
Soon, the matter spread, because Xue Xiang entered the procuratorate in full view of the public and could not hide it. Moreover, the procuratorate had no intention of concealing anything to avoid disclosing the truth.
This suddenly made the whole thing dramatic.
The conservatives who were still reveling before were immediately dumbfounded.
Aren’t the Public Security Bureau on our side?
How could they stab us in the back.
Is the message wrong?
Or did something unknown happen?
The reformists who had been mourning their concubines before were immediately dumbfounded.
Aren’t the public prosecutors and prosecutors the enemy?
How could they help us with the lawsuit?
If the police, procuratorate, and law do not take action at this time, their defeat is certain!
This. What exactly is this operation?
Incredible!
Faced with the intervention of the Procuratorate, no matter which faction they belong to, they find it incredible!
As a result, everyone's eyes were focused on Sima Guang. After all, he was the leader of judicial reform.
You are not unaware of this, are you?
However, Sima Guang was even more confused than them, but he quickly realized that he was directly in front of Zhang Fei, not caring about avoiding suspicion.
"Do you know what you are doing?"
Anxious!
He was really anxious this time. Seeing that he had a chance to win, and seeing that the other party wanted to kill the enemy, he even sacrificed a small part of the interests of the Public Security Bureau, but the Public Security Bureau stabbed him in the face.
this.!
Zhang Fei was about to cry again but said without tears: "Master Sima Mingjian, I am really wronged!"
"Stop it!"
When Sima Guang heard this, he almost jumped up and stared, "I don't understand you yet, tell me, what do you want?"
Zhang Fei's words really made his ears tingle, but this kid was never wronged, every time he was the one who was responsible.
Zhang Fei said: "It's not what I think, but Xue Xiangzhen produced some evidence to prove that he was wrongly accused."
"Nonsense."
Sima Guang said: "There is a mountain of ironclad evidence at the Yushitai. What evidence can he produce?"
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Originally, this was a secret of our procuratorate, but since Bachelor Sima asked about it, I can only tell the truth."
"Stop it!"
Sima Guang immediately rolled his sleeves and said, "I don't want to inquire about the secrets of your procuratorate."
If you really had the nerve to ask, I wouldn't have said that. The corner of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost stopped laughing. He spread his hands and said, "Then what does Bachelor Sima want me to do?"
Sima Guang said: "It's not what I told you to do, but what exactly do you want to do? Zhang San, this is not the first time. This appointment is a bad idea you came up with. You wanted to protect Wang Jiefu. Those officials at the time, I won’t let you come to the trial, but I’m just trying to prevent you from doing this. Who knows, but you still got in.”
"This really has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Fei explained with a depressed look: "When they suppressed our public prosecutors so much, I didn't even fart. Moreover, Bachelor Sima also came to see me before. I also thought that it should not be handed over to the procuratorate. This would cause misunderstandings.
As for the shipping agent who came to sue, our procuratorate was also very confused. Should we accept it? But if we don't accept it, then Bachelor Wang will definitely ask us for help. At that time, the public prosecutor's office may be destroyed, and my father-in-law may also be punished.
But even so, we have not yet decided whether to prosecute, but we need to investigate first. "
Sima Guang couldn't help but frowned. The system of the Procuratorate was there. If there were grievances and no prosecution was carried out, other officials would definitely not let the Procuratorate go. There were countless officials who hated the Procuratorate in the DPRK. He said: "The Emperor Shi Tai has interrogated Yu Shi Tai for so long, and there are absolutely no mistakes or omissions. Why does Xue Xiang sue Yu Shi Tai?"
Zhang Fei collapsed immediately, "I want to tell you the evidence, but you don't want to listen."
Sima Guang said: "Since this is the secret of your procuratorate, can I listen to it?"
He has always cherished his reputation very much. If Wang Anshi knew that he intervened in the procuratorate's investigation in order to deal with Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi would definitely hold on to this.
Zhang Fei was completely speechless, "Then how do you want me to explain, Bachelor Sima?"
Sima Guang asked: "Let me ask you, did you interfere with this?"
"Absolutely not."
Zhang Fei said: "As for the evidence, my father-in-law, Inspector Qi, and Inspector Wang have reviewed it one by one. They also think so. Even if you don't believe me, Bachelor Sima, you should believe in the rules of our procuratorate. I It’s not Erbi before, everything is decided by me.
Inspector Qi, Inspector Wang and others are not stupid. They followed me to offend Yushitai and protect Xue Xiang. Do they want their lives?
Moreover, why didn’t Academician Sima doubt Academician Wang, but came to doubt me? "
Sima Guang snorted: "You are a habitual offender."
".!"
Zhang Fei immediately became depressed.
Sima Guang sighed, "But this will put me in a dilemma!"
Zhang Fei immediately said: "I have put myself in Bachelor Sima's shoes and I don't think this will embarrass him."
Sima Guang smiled bitterly and said, "Why won't I be in trouble?"
Zhang Fei said: "Because Academician Sima has always been selfless and abides by the law when serving as an official, I am willing to inform Academician Sima of the evidence provided by Xue Xiang, but Academician Sima is unwilling to listen, which is obvious.
So what if our procuratorate prosecutes us? No matter what the result is, we just want justice. Isn't this the purpose of Sima's judicial reform? "
Sima Guang smiled coldly: "Without you, your statement would be true."
Zhang Fei asked: "Why?"
Sima Guang said: "Because your mouth can confuse right and wrong."
Zhang Fei asked seriously: "For example?"
".!"
The Ordinance Department of the Second Government was established.
"Of course I asked him to go."
Wang Anshi glanced at Deng Wan with a smile, and then nodded.
Deng Wan was overjoyed and asked again: "Has Mr. Wang asked Chief Prosecutor Zhang Xu first?"
The implication is to ask whether there is any behind-the-scenes operation.
Wang Anshi smiled and shook his head: "Why ask first? Do you think the Yushitai's verdict is fair?"
"No!"
Deng Wan immediately said: "Of course it's unfair."
"That's it."
Wang Anshi said with a smile: "We have enough evidence to win this lawsuit. They always used the public prosecutor's office to target me before, but this time I'm just treating them the way they want.
Otherwise, why do you think Yushitai could judge it? "
Deng Wan was shocked, "It turns out. It turns out."
Wang Anshi smiled and nodded, obviously acquiescing.
He had to explain this way, because the Yushitai's verdict had already made the reformists very unstable. Many people speculated that Wang Anshi had lost the emperor's trust and that the situation was over.
Only this explanation can stabilize the morale of the army.
This is all my plan, which explains from the side why Yushitai was able to pass the verdict, and also proves that he has not lost the emperor's trust.
Deng Wan's eyes flickered a few times, "Xueshi Wang's plan is very clever. It can also alienate their relationship with the public prosecutor and the law."
Wang Anshi smiled and nodded, "That's right."
But I was also panicking. If I had to go to court, I could only decide whether to live or die. After all, it was not Zhang Fei who had the final say. The judge was the chief judge, and Zhao Pian was a conservative person.
The most irritating among them is the Yushitai. In their view, the Procuratorate is trying to ride on their shoulders and slap them in the face.
The key is that Yushitai has always believed that he, like Dali Temple, is the immediate superior of the Public Security Bureau.
This is disobedience to superior orders.
So they immediately called Xu Zun to the censor's desk. Although they all guessed that this was most likely the idea of that brat Zhang San, Xu Zun was the prosecutor after all!
As a veteran of three dynasties, Wen Yanbo still suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Xu Zun: "Can Prosecutor Xu give me an explanation?"
Jiang Zhiqi and the other censors also looked at each other angrily.
You must know that Xu Zun is not a conservative, but prefers Wang Anshi. Conservatives have always disliked Xu Zun, but Zhang Fei's appearance has eased this hostile relationship.
Xu Zun explained in a calm tone: "The process of the matter is that Xue Xiang came to the Procuratorate to sue and submitted relevant evidence to prove that he was innocent. Our Procuratorate just acted according to the rules."
"You are just making excuses."
Jiang Zhiqi said angrily: "If there is a problem, why didn't your procuratorate raise it before? Our Yushitai did not hide anything.
After the verdict of our Yushitai, your procuratorate immediately jumped out. I think you are deliberately targeting our Yushitai and trying to suppress us. This is your wishful thinking. "
Xu Zundao: "I'm not that naive."
Peng Siyan sneered and said, "Who dares to say that you, Xu Zhongtu, are naive? You son-in-law must have seen that our Yushitai had stolen the limelight from your public prosecutors, so you colluded with Wang Jiefu and Xue Xiang in order to ruin the reputation of our Yushitai."
Wen Yanbo also fully agrees with this.
The benefit is too obvious.
Before, they had prevented the public prosecutor from intervening, which had aroused many people's speculations. The reformists also seized on this and attacked the conservatives. You just want to organize unjust imprisonment and falsely accuse Zhongliang. Later, as evidence continued to come out, slowly Change public opinion.
But if the Public Security Bureau intervenes at this time and eventually overturns the case, it will not be a confirmation of the arguments of the reformists, and the Yushitai will suffer a big blow. Their last move is too vicious.
Wen Yanbo warned with a deep eyebrow: "Prosecutor Xu, according to the laws of the imperial court, our Yushitai is above your public prosecutor's office, and what the Yushitai makes is almost the final judgment, and only the trial court can intervene. Your procuratorate is so Doing so would be akin to overstepping the mark.”
"First of all, according to the regulations of the imperial court, our public prosecutor's office is Dali Temple and the Court of Justice, not the Yushitai. The court has not explicitly explained the relationship between the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Yushitai."
Xu Zun explained calmly: "Secondly, I have already said that these are two cases. Our procuratorate is only investigating whether Xue Xiang broke the law, not to overturn Yushitai's judgment. I personally believe that those people It’s all true.”
Wen Yanbo frowned. Although the Yushitai was on the same level as Dali Temple and the Criminal Court, the court did stipulate that the highest trial of the Public Prosecution and Procuratorate was in the Criminal Court and was not included in the Yushitai. He said again: "You guys If you want to prosecute, that's your business, but Xue Xiang has been convicted by the Yushitai, no matter what your procuratorate wants to do, Xue Xiang should be handed over to our Yushitai first."
Xu Zundao: "This is against the rules, because Xue Xiang believes that he has been wronged and provides relevant evidence. If we hand over Xue Xiang to the Yushitai before investigating clearly, this will obviously be unfair to Xue Xiang and also It is inconsistent with our public security and judicial system.”
Jiang Zhiqi said angrily: "Then you will never leave the Yushitai today."
"Why!"
Wen Yanbo was shocked by these words and quickly stopped Jiang Zhiqi. If Xu Zun was detained, the problem would become very serious. And if you do this, Wang Anshi will definitely attack their Yushitai on this point. , now the reformists must fully support the procuratorate, and said to Xu Zun: "Our Yushitai will investigate your procuratorate."
Xu Zun nodded and said: "Our procuratorate has always been law-abiding and is not afraid of anyone's investigation."
"In that case, there is nothing to say. Please come back first. We will send someone to your procuratorate to investigate soon."
Wen Yanbo said lightly.
"I am resigning."
After Xu Zun left, Jiang Zhiqi immediately said: "Mr. Wen, why did you let him go?"
Wen Yanbo said: "Because we still don't know what evidence Xue Xiang provided to the procuratorate. What if this is a trap?"
Jiang Zhiqi said: "If they really succeed in suing, then how can our Yushitai gain a foothold in the government?"
Wen Yanbo said: "Of course we must do our best to stop the Procuratorate. They have to perform their duties, and so can we. Our Yushitai's duty is to supervise the officials of the DPRK and China. You should immediately send someone to the Procuratorate to investigate."
"yes."
This time the prosecutor's office really stung a hornet's nest.
Yushitai doesn't care about innovation or conservatism. If the procuratorate really reverses the case, will Yushitai still be alive?
For Yushitai, this is almost a life and death battle.
The Yushitai immediately sent people to the procuratorate to investigate. From the chief prosecutor to the prosecutor, no one was spared.
At the same time, officials in Taiwan remonstrated and impeached the procuratorate for colluding with the criminal Xue Xiang, bending the law for personal gain, and conspiring against evil intentions.
Conservative officials also spoke out in support of Yushitai.
At the end of the day, your procuratorate intervenes, and the conservatives are so angry that they are furious!
The reformists quickly united around the Public Security Bureau and tried their best to defend the Public Security Bureau. At the same time, they said that we had already said that they avoided the Public Security Bureau in order to frame Zhongliang.
Look, as we said, there is indeed grievance in it, and it is such a huge grievance that even Sima Guang can't stand it anymore.
Because Sima Guang presides over judicial reform, in terms of common sense, without his nod, can the procuratorate intervene?
Sima Guang was really suffering and couldn't tell.
Although he led judicial reform, he rarely interfered with the operation of the public prosecutors and the judiciary.
But the reformists said this deliberately to cause them to be divided internally.
What’s funny is that before this case, it was clear that the reformists hated the public prosecutors and the law, while the conservatives supported the public prosecutors and the law. Now, it’s completely reversed.
Those neutral ministers were confused.
But this has indeed had a very bad impact on conservatives.
Sima Guang's position as the leader is also in danger.
The conservatives hope that Sima Guang will put pressure on the procuratorate, but Sima Guang is relatively old-fashioned. He only said that if the trial by the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and court is unfair, the trial court will definitely intervene, because it is still in the investigation stage and has not entered the judicial process. Even if the results come out, the Trial Court will not be able to intervene.
This made many people very disappointed with Sima Guang.
As long as you give us a kick now, the reformists will be completely finished. If you are talking about principles to us at this time, are you sick in the head?
I almost need to pee.
Political Hall.
"Master Wen, please calm down!"
Zhao Bian said: "I think the Procuratorate also has its own difficulties. If someone appeals and presents evidence, the Procuratorate cannot turn a blind eye. In this case, Yushitai will impeach the Procuratorate for neglecting its duties, right?"
Wen Yanbo said: "What Mr. Zhao said is wrong. This country has national laws and families have family rules. If the procuratorate can easily intervene in Yushitai's trial and overturn Yushitai's judgment, will Yushitai be able to do anything in the future? ?
From now on, all cases, large and small, will be handed over to the Procuratorate, and no other government agencies will be able to try them. No matter how they are tried, they can be prosecuted from the Procuratorate. If the procuratorate believes that there is injustice involved, it can assist the Yushitai, or transfer the case to the Yushitai, and should not appeal separately.
This will make the country's judiciary chaotic and disorderly. "
He is also an old debater. I will not stop the procuratorate from performing its duties, but everything has its own ups and downs. You can help our Yushitai!
If you do this, all hell will break loose.
Sima Guang nodded and said: "Yes, we can ask the procuratorate to assist Yushitai in hearing the case."
"Why didn't Yushitai assist the procuratorate in its investigation?"
I saw Wang Anshi walking in.
Wen Yanbo glanced at Wang Anshi and asked coldly: "I wonder what Jie Fu has to say?"
"Don't dare! Duke Wen is polite."
Wang Anshi bowed his hands and said again: "It's just that the Procuratorate has made it very clear that these are two cases. How can the Procuratorate assist Yushitai."
Wen Yanbo said: "This is clearly a case. Our Yushitai convicted Xue Xiang, but the procuratorate wanted to appeal for Xue Xiang."
Wang Anshi said: "Although the Yushitai convicted Xue Xiang, the people who accused him were not Xue Xiang, and this case is not about Xue Xiang personally.
For another example, even if the procuratorate succeeds in prosecuting the case, it will only prove that Xue Xiang is not guilty personally, rather than overturning the Yushitai's judgment. Others will still be convicted.
Of course, I still don’t understand why the Yushitai convicted Xue Xiang. I believe that the public prosecutor and the procuratorate are fair and impartial and will definitely find the answer for me. Therefore, I will never agree to combine the two cases into one, and Let the procuratorate assist Yushitai. "
Fu Bi suddenly said: "But what Kuanfu said is not unreasonable. The intervention of the procuratorate will make the country's judicial system chaotic and disorderly. After the imperial court's verdict, the Yushitai will have to retry it. Why? It’s the same time!”
When things have evolved to this point, no matter what Fu Bi thinks, he must stand on Wen Yanbo's side.
The key point is that what Wen Yanbo said is indeed reasonable. As for the design of the national system, appeals must be made level by level. The top has the final say. If the lower level can easily overturn the upper level's judgment, there will be no end.
Wang Anshi said: "If the Yushitai can produce this evidence, I will not object to the Yushitai continuing the retrial. I only care about fairness and justice.
Let me tell you frankly today, I just don’t believe in the clandestine and secretive trial system of the Yushitai, which is not enough to convince the public.
Only the trial system of the Public Security Bureau can convince me, because the system of the Public Security Bureau is open, fair, and just, and can make everyone understand the whole story, and the final decision is made by the imperial court.
Xianggong Zhao is known as the iron-faced censor. If the procuratorate can convince Xianggong Zhao, then Xue Xiang will be wronged. Do you really think what I said makes sense? "
Sima Guang immediately glared at him, as if to say, get out of here.
Wang Anshi is also an excellent debater. What Wen Yanbo said does make sense, so he directly attacked the trial system of the Yushitai. I think there are problems with the system of the Yushitai. The key point is that everyone with a discerning eye knows that the trial system of the Public Security Bureau is obviously Better.
Even Fu Bi couldn't refute this.
