When it comes to work, Zhang Fei and Fang Yun gradually become familiar with each other, no longer unfamiliar.
Although Zhang Fei has been writing to Fang Yun to help her learn the law, Zhang Fei actually does not know her level very well. During the conversation, he found that Fang Yun is very familiar with the laws and regulations, and He also has his own understanding.
Compared with Xu Zhiqian, although Fang Yun may not be as talented as Xu Zhiqian, he is more professional than Xu Zhiqian, because Xu Zhiqian's purpose in practicing law is very strong, that is, to hoe the strong and help the weak. In her eyes, it is black and white, but To be a judicial officer is to serve the law.
Zhang Fei also discussed this issue with Xu Zhiqian, but it was of no use. For Xu Zhiqian, justice is more important, and justice is greater than the law.
Relatively speaking, Fang Yun is calmer and calmer, and has more lawyer principles.
Five days later.
Fang Yun, in the name of the Legal Aid Department, once again sued the Taoist priest Sanshan on behalf of the victim's husband Wu Yong.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted many people. From their discussions, it was not difficult to see that the camp was very clear. Almost half supported the Sanshan Taoist Priest and the other half opposed it.
People in ancient times were very superstitious, including the emperors.
The judiciary emphasizes evidence. There is a blank between the two. How to get along with each other is also a concern of many judicial officials.
"President Liu, I think Lawyer Fang is just messing around. If she is hired by the other party, there is nothing wrong with her. But the Legal Aid Department gets the money from the court, or the beneficiary donates it. She takes the money from the court. , it is really inappropriate to pester good people, and there are many people outside waiting for Taoist Master Sanshan to treat their illnesses. If it is delayed due to this matter, I don’t know whether Lawyer Fang can bear this responsibility."
Before the court session, Fang Erbi Yujie complained to Liu Zhi.
Zhang Fei, who was hiding behind the people and watching, couldn't help but think to himself, are the Erbi pens so powerful now?
Liu Zhi seemed to think that what Yu Jie said was very reasonable, so he looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun immediately said: "Our Legal Aid Department has found conclusive evidence, enough to prove that Master Sanshan defrauded money and killed people."
Liu Zhi pondered for a while and said: "Lawyer Fang, the president of the court can give you another chance, but the president of the court also hopes that you can treat it with caution. If you can't produce enough evidence this time, the president of the court will not The case will be accepted again.”
Fang Yun nodded and said: "Fang Yun understands."
Liu Zhi looked at Yu Jie again, who nodded reluctantly.
Only then did Liu Zhi drop the hammer and announce the opening of the trial.
"Taoist Priest Sanshan, do you recognize this thing?"
Fang Yun picked up a charm.
Taoist Priest Sanshan glanced at it and said rather dissatisfied: "Of course I know it. This is the Thousand Gold Talisman made by Pindao. Didn't you already ask about it last time? Why do you ask again?"
As he spoke, he cursed: "She is such a talkative woman. No wonder no one dares to marry her."
The tone was full of contempt.
Zhang Fei looked at Fang Yun and saw her expression was calm, as if she was used to it.
really!
Nowadays, women have to face this when they go to court.
Liu Zhi frowned slightly and said, "Defendant, you are a practitioner, should you pay attention to your words?"
"yes."
Taoist priest Sanshan nodded, but his expression was still quite dissatisfied.
Fang Yun asked again: "I wonder where this Thousand Gold Talisman came from, and how the Taoist Master used this Thousand Gold Talisman to treat the villagers' illnesses."
Taoist Priest Sanshan said: "This thousand-gold talisman was given to me by the Earth God, in order to save the poor people who are suffering from illness. This talisman is the essence of all things on the earth and can cure all diseases. If you need treatment, you only need to Go to the earth temple in the western suburbs, practice it with a poor Taoist, take this mantra, and then worship in front of the earth god for seven days. During this period, you must have no distracting thoughts, and the disease will be cured."
Fang Yun asked: "When the Taoist priest mentioned that all diseases can be cured, does he mean any disease?"
Taoist Priest Sanshan said: "Yes, many people have been cured by Pindao's Thousand Gold Talisman."
Many people in front of the door nodded, and even took the initiative to tell Zhang Fei and other onlookers about the power of the Thousand Gold Talisman, which attracted many people.
Zhang Fei thought to himself that if he couldn't sue this magician this time, he would instead help him publicize it.
Fang Yun asked: "Do the people need to give money?"
Taoist priest Sanshan said: "The poor Taoist is under the command of the Earth God to hang a pot to help the world. How can he ask for money? The patient only needs to ensure that the incense of the Earth Temple continues for seven days."
Fang Yun nodded and asked: "Is it effective for anyone?"
Taoist Master Sanshan said: "Yes."
Fang Yun said: "Is it effective for the Taoist priest?"
Taoist priest Sanshan said: "Of course it works, but Pindao is protected by the God of Earth and will not get sick. All the folks sitting here can testify for me that they have never seen Pindao get sick."
The believers nodded frequently and began to spread the word again.
Cao Dongdong was suspicious when he heard it, and whispered: "Zhang San, this doesn't sound like a lie."
Zhang Fei said calmly: "Let's talk about it after reading it, okay."
Fang Yun lowered his head and glanced at the copy, then raised his head and asked: "According to our investigation, the Taoist priest nearby advised the people to believe in the earth god and not to visit those doctors."
Taoist Priest Sanshan said: "Why did the Earth God give orders to Pindao? It's because those quack doctors have no knowledge of pharmacology and medical skills. They only want to make profits. They prescribe medicines to patients indiscriminately and kill many people."
As soon as these words came out, more people came forward to help, but Liu Zhi still knocked his gavel to order them to be silent.
Cao Dongdong became more and more evil the more he listened, and said: "Zhang San, you see, everyone thinks so."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "This doctor is not a god. How can he cure all diseases? Almost everyone has a relative who died due to ineffective treatment. When he said this, he must not have said it. You can tell the difference between this kind of little trick." Why don’t you come out?”
Cao Dongdong curled his lips and hummed: "Only you can tell the difference, others can't."
Zhang Fei didn't bother to argue with him. He had seen this kind of thinking and behavior before in that era, let alone now when science is underdeveloped.
Seeing Fang Yun again, he said: "So the Taoist priest believes that when people are sick, they should go to Tu Guan to seek talismans to cure their illnesses, instead of seeking help from doctors."
Taoist Master Sanshan nodded and said: "Yes, those quack doctors can only kill people. The medicine they prescribe cannot be drunk at all."
His tone was very firm. With so many people watching, he had a firm belief!
"Thank you, Taoist Master, for your answer."
Fang Yun nodded slightly and said to Liu Zhi: "To the president of the court, Fang Yun kindly requests the ancient chief minister of Legend Peak Village to appear in court to testify."
Liu Zhi said: "Pass it."
I saw an old man with white hair coming to the court.
Yu Jie glanced at the white-haired old man, his eyes full of confusion, and then looked at Taoist Master Sanshan, who also shook his head slightly.
Fang Yun said: "Mr. Gu, what do you do?"
Gu Changming replied: "I am a doctor from Qifeng Village."
Fang Yun said: "I wonder what diseases Mr. Gu is good at treating?"
Gu Changming said: "The pain of broken bones."
Fang Yun said: "Mr. Gu, did you cure any patients on September 15th last year?"
Gu Changming thought for a while and sighed: "I am already very old. How can I remember what happened more than half a year ago? However, I will write down all the patient's conditions and the prescriptions prescribed by me, so that if the patient is not cured in the future, , come for follow-up consultation and there will be no misdiagnosis.”
As he said that, he took out a broken book and flipped through it, "I found it. I found it. A man with a broken right arm did come to seek treatment that day."
Fang Yun asked: "What is this person's name?"
Gu Changming said: "This patient is called He Chao."
Fang Yun asked the Sanshan Taoist Priest again: "Does the Taoist Priest know He Chao?"
Taoist Priest Sanshan frowned and said nothing, beads of sweat already forming on his forehead.
Liu Zhi reminded him loudly: "The defendant."
Taoist Master Sanshan nodded and said, "I know you."
Fang Yun asked: "Dare to ask, what is the relationship between He Chao and the Taoist Priest?"
Taoist Priest Sanshan stuttered a little, "He is. He is Pindao's younger brother."
The people at the door suddenly looked at Taoist Master Sanshan in disbelief.
No matter how ignorant you are, you can still hear something wrong here.
Hearing the discussion outside, Taoist Master Sanshan immediately defended himself: "But since Pindao became a monk, I have had very little contact with him."
Fang Yun smiled and asked, "Does the Taoist priest know what your younger brother does?"
".!"
Taoist Master Sanshan remained silent.
Fang Yun then said to Liu Zhi: "The president of the court may not know something, but He Chao is a vendor who specializes in making incense, and the incense in Tuguan all comes from his brother's workshop."
Liu Zhi glanced at Taoist Priest Sanshan with a deep eyebrow, and seemed to understand the trick.
Fang Erbi Yujie was so anxious that he stood up and said to Gu Changming: "Mr. Gu, at that time He Chao went to Guipu to see a doctor. Was it urgent?"
Gu Changming nodded and said: "Yes, for this broken bone injury, the sooner he was treated, the better. According to Lao Cheng's records, he came to Lao Cheng's house for treatment on the day he was injured."
Fang Yun asked Taoist Master Sanshan again: "After my brother was cured by Gu Langzhong, will he go to the Taoist Master again to ask for the Thousand Gold Talisman?"
Taoist Priest Sanshan opened his mouth several times, but glanced at Liu Zhi guiltily, and then shook his head.
Fang Yun asked: "Yes or no?"
Taoist Priest Sanshan finally said: "No."
Yu Jie frowned and sat down with worry on his face.
Fang Yun then asked Taoist Priest Sanshan, "Taoist Priest, is your mother still alive?"
Taoist priest Sanshan said: "He passed away two years ago."
Fang Yun said: "Why did you die?"
"Died of illness."
"Will your mother come to Tutu to ask for the Thousand Gold Talisman?"
"My mother...my mother had difficulty moving at the time, so...that's why she didn't come?"
"Has your mother asked the doctor to treat her?"
"My mother has been living with Pindao's younger brother. Pindao doesn't know much about it."
"Taoist Priest still remembers Liu Han from Xiagou Village."
"Can not remember."
"In March last year, he took his mother to the earth to pray for the Thousand Gold Talisman to cure her illness."
"That seems to be the case." Taoist Master Sanshan felt guilty and did not dare to look directly at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun said: "Liu's mother, like your mother-in-law, was bedridden for three years, and the distance between Xiagou Village and Tuguan is further than the distance between your brother's home and Tuguan. I don't know how the elder Liu was related to her at that time. Can Han say that?"
"I don't remember the poor Taoist priest," Taoist Master Sanshan said.
Fang Yun said: "But Liu Han remembered that according to his confession, the Taoist priest suggested that Liu Han carry Liu's mother on his back and go to Tu Temple to impress the Tu God with his filial piety."
Taoist Priest Sanshan was silent.
Fang Yun added: "It's a pity that Liu's mother passed away a month after seeking treatment in Tuguan. Her mother was bedridden for three whole years. She saw several doctors and took medicine every year to survive, but the Taoist priest never let her go." My mother went to Tu Guan to seek treatment."
Taoist Master Sanshan said excitedly: "My mother was cured to death by those quack doctors."
Fang Yun said calmly: "But after your mother passed away, my brother's family still went to see the doctor for all kinds of illnesses, and they never went to Tuguan to ask for the Thousand Gold Talisman."
As he spoke, Fang Yun took out more than ten prescriptions and said, "Judge President, these are the evidence for the medical treatment of the defendant's brother He Chao and his family."
"Submit."
After Liu Zhi looked at them one by one, he asked Taoist Sanshan: "Does Taoist Sanshan have anything to say?"
Taoist Priest Sanshan was already sweating profusely, and he quickly looked at Yu Jie asking for help.
Yu Jie was also helpless at this time.
Fang Yun said loudly: "We really can't prove whether the Thousand Gold Talisman is effective, nor can we prove whether gods exist. But judging from the behavior of Taoist Sanshan, he himself doesn't believe that the Thousand Gold Talisman can cure diseases, and his family members don't believe that the Thousand Gold Talisman can cure diseases." He chose to see a doctor instead of going to Tu Guan to ask for the Thousand Gold Talisman, but he went around claiming that all the doctors in the world were quacks, and only the Thousand Gold Talisman could save people.
Although he does not ask for money from patients, the incense in his Taoist temple is expensive and shoddy. His incense candles burn faster than those in other temples, and the cost is only half. If they are burned for seven days, at least Requires two pieces of money. "
Taoist Master Sanshan said excitedly: "You are talking nonsense."
Yu Jie also stood up and said, "Please also ask Lawyer Fang to present evidence."
Fang Yun actually picked up a piece of evidence, "This is the evidence provided to us by the Taxation Department, and the reason is precisely because He Chao lied about tax items and concealed the true cost of making incense candles. He is now under investigation by the Taxation Department."
When Taoist Priest Sanshan heard this, he immediately collapsed on his chair.
On Jingdong East Road, the Taxation Department is far scarier than the police station.
Fang Yun added: "Taoist Master Sanshan took a charm that he didn't even believe in and told others that this charm can cure all diseases. This is obviously a fraud, and he is taking advantage of the people's mentality of rushing to seek medical treatment. , to gain the trust of the people, and then conspired with his brother He Chao to obtain money from it.
But judging from his attitude towards his mother's illness, he definitely knew that only medicine could cure the illness, yet he stopped people from going to the doctor for medical treatment. It was precisely because of his behavior that my then wife of Wu Yong, He did not receive timely medical treatment and died of illness. Although there is no evidence to prove that Taoist Sanshan committed intentional murder, this is definitely manslaughter.
Therefore, on behalf of the Legal Aid Department, I urge Judge Liu to convict the defendant of money fraud and manslaughter. And compensate my client. "
Suddenly I heard a cry, "Dog Taoist."
Before he finished speaking, another rotten egg flew towards Taoist Master Sanshan and hit him accurately on the head.
Suddenly, there was a loud yell of curses at the door, and countless rotten roots and rotten eggs flew towards Taoist Master Sanshan.
"Who dares to be so presumptuous here?"
Liu Zhi saw this situation for the first time. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately shouted angrily and more than ten court police officers rushed out.
The people suddenly woke up and looked at the rotten vegetable roots in their hands, panicking.
Who handed this to me.
Who harmed me?
But Fang Yunke heard the sound of "Dog Taoist" and couldn't help but pursed his lower lip.
afternoon.
The back hall of the imperial court.
"Let me tell you, how did Lawyer Fang become so powerful in such a short time? The reason is that the founder of Erbi is here."
Liu Zhi glanced at Zhang Fei and said with a half-smile.
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "The president of the court is overly praised. Lawyer Fang has always performed well. He has won hundreds of lawsuits and has a record of twelve consecutive victories."
Liu Zhidao: "I dare to ask Prosecutor Zhang if, as a judicial official, he makes trouble in court, should he be punished by an additional level?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Absolutely."
Liu Zhidao: "Why did prosecutor Zhang throw eggs to disrupt the trial?"
"I don't."
Zhang Fei said: "President Liu has no proof and no evidence, so you can't accuse people unjustly."
Liu Zhi hummed: "Don't worry, the president of this court will send someone to investigate."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said: "Of course Chief Liu should investigate. This kind of thing cannot be tolerated, but I thought it was a good idea to throw the egg!"
Liu Zhidao: "How?"
Zhang Fei said: "Once word of this scene spreads, those ignorant believers may wake up."
Liu Zhi nodded slightly, "Yes! Even if the imperial court finds him guilty, some ignorant people will still believe it. Moreover, it is really difficult to judge this kind of case."
Zhang Fei said: "However, nine cases out of ten cases like this are all for the sake of making money. The judiciary can only start from this aspect and investigate whether these magicians are consistent on the outside and set an example. If Sanshan Taoist Priest, his mother, There is really no way to put him to death or to have his brother’s arm amputated. But if there are too many believers and endanger the public order, the national security law can also be used for trial.”
Liu Zhi nodded.
Zhang Fei asked again: "President Liu, how is the situation of the public prosecutor, procuratorate, and law in Dengzhou?"
Liu Zhi was startled and replied: "At first, the public security on Jingdong East Road was the worst in the country. There were bandits everywhere. However, after the taxation department and police station cracked down, and the opening of Xingang to the north, the situation here has improved." Public security has improved a lot.”
Zhang Fei asked curiously: "What does Xingang have to do with this grass bandit thing?"
Liu Zhidao: "As far as I know, many grass bandits have gone to Xingang to make a living."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Suburbs.
Zhang Fei and Fang Yun came to a small river, where Fang Yun rescued him.
Thinking back on everything, it was like everything happened yesterday.
After a while, Zhang Fei turned around and asked, "Are you really not willing to go to the capital with me?"
Fang Yun lowered his head slightly and shook his head.
Zhang Fei said: "You are engaged in judicial work now, so you should understand that as long as the president of the court acquits you, you are innocent."
Fang Yun said: "But the law also tells me that I am guilty."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If you don't want to go, I won't force you, but you are not young now, haven't you thought about getting married and having children?"
Fang Yun said: "I have decided not to marry again in this life. If possible, I hope to stay in the Legal Aid Department."
Zhang Fei nodded, "Okay."
Fang Yun secretly glanced at Zhang Fei and said timidly: "Third brother, am I very disappointing to you?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I will not be disappointed, I will only be happy. Your life should be your own decision. I will always support you."
"Thanks."
Fang Yun nodded lightly.
Zhang Fei joked: "No need to thank me, you cut this with one knife."
Zhang Fei stayed in the city for more than half a month. On the one hand, he inspected the public prosecutor's office and on the other hand, he taught Fang Yun some skills on some of the lawsuits he had fought. During this period, he also visited Weada's family.
One person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.
Due to Zhang Fei's rising status in the court, no one in Dengzhou dared to bully their family, and Zhang Fei also gave them a lot of money.
After all, in that lawsuit, the person Zhang Fei felt most sorry for was Wei Ada. Their family lived a very happy life.
After bidding farewell to Fang Yun, Zhang Fei went to Xingang again.
This new port is an investment by a charitable foundation. When he tricked Ma Tianhao and the others into investing here, he was trying to lure them with maritime trade.
When I came to Xingang, I saw that under the green water and green mountains, it was really a smog.
Looking around, it was either a brothel or a football stadium, full of bare-breasted women and some drunkards.
Zhang Fei felt his head was big!
But Cao Dongdong was very excited. This place is really a fairyland!
"Ouch! It's Saburo here!"
But a man older than Zhang Fei came to Zhang Fei excitedly.
This person is Chen Maoqian's second son, Chen Shoucheng.
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Brother Chen, the foundation is here for you to do business, not for you to play with women. What did you do...?"
Chen Shoucheng immediately said: "Sanlang, you can't blame us. The only way to go to sea from here is to Japan or Korea. They all want our goods, but they have nothing to buy there, mainly wood and coal. There is also sulfur from Japan. They can only trade women with us. Then when we buy women, we can not only open a brothel.
In addition, the Tax Department suppressed the bandits and drove all the grass bandits to our place. If we don't get some women, wine, and football fields to stabilize them, it will be difficult to control here. "
Those grassroots bandits who are used to being lawless can no longer keep their peace and find a job. Going to sea to make a living is most suitable for them. The main thing is to go to port. The world belongs to them.
"That's it!"
Zhang Fei reluctantly accepted the reality and asked: "How about the profit?"
Chen Shoucheng said: "The profits are really good. The main reason is that the recent prices of wood and coal are very good, and there is also sulfur. The imperial court has been buying sulfur on a large scale recently. It should be used to make gunpowder. The Japanese sulfur is very good. We also I made a lot of money. Nowadays, 50% of the taxes in Dengzhou are related to our new city.
Another point, Saburo may not know, is that we also killed many Beiren. When the Imperial Guards saw the Beiren, they were so frightened that they pissed their pants, but they let us take care of them. hey-hey.! "
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Chen Shoucheng said: "Many people from the north want to rob our ships when they see that our business is doing well. But at sea, they are no match for us. With their small broken ships, we will rob every ship we see." I have never lost the ship. But now many northern businessmen also want to do business with us and smuggle it into their country."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Fei frowned.
Chen Shoucheng nodded and said: "The business in the forecourt in the north is monopolized by the powerful people in the north, but they have no control over the sea. However, the commander-in-chief has told us that we must not sell any raw materials for gunpowder production to them. , Our country has legal provisions. But those merchants have never thought of buying gunpowder, they still like our silk and pottery."
Zhang Fei asked: "Do our goods need to be wrapped in something?"
Chen Shoucheng thought for a while, "I still want some more, Sanlang, why do you ask this?"
Zhang Fei said: "We have some old newspapers that we can use to package your goods."
Chen Shoucheng blinked and said, "We all wrap things with cloth, not paper. Besides, it's not cost-effective to wrap things with newspapers."
Zhang Fei said: "This is for free. Don't worry about the cost. Don't those pottery and porcelain have to be padded with straw, just use newspapers, but these can only be sent to Liao Kingdom."
Chen Shoucheng nodded dullly.
