Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 625

Su Zhe pretended to sort out the copywriting, and asked in a low voice, "You arranged the scholar just now, right?"

Because the last injunction lawsuit did not solve the issue of the patriarchal clan, but Su Zhe also felt that there was indeed a contradiction between the patriarchal clan and the public prosecutor's law, so he had some doubts about it.

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "Of course not, Mr. Su Xiao is too underestimating the understanding of the law of today's scholars. After all, I have taken so many zakats."

Su Zhe just smiled slightly, noncommittal, he had no time to worry about this right now.

You must know that Su Zhe didn't know how to deal with this kind of question and answer meeting at the beginning, and he didn't dare to answer it on the spot, because what you say here has legal effect. This is not a debate competition. Received, they also conducted research.

But in public, in front of so many people, explaining one's theory is really different from going to court, which is why Su Zhe asked to open with Zhang Fei, he had to learn first.

But with Zhang Fei as proof, a genius like Su Zhe naturally learned quickly, so he said directly: "Everyone's concern about the procuratorate lies in the power of the procuratorate and the procuratorial system."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, "In fact, the procuratorate, like the imperial court, is based on the legal system proposed by Judge Zhang, so the main purpose of the procuratorate is to defend the rights and interests of the country, the monarch, and the people."

Speaking to the outside world, this banner must be clear, and nothing can be said based on fairness and justice, because it would be unfair for the emperor to sit on it.

It can be seen that the law of the legal system provides a very important theoretical basis for the public security law. Without this theory, many explanations are difficult to express, and many affairs cannot be carried out.

But with this reason, no one dared to refute.

Su Zhe went on to say: "So the power of the procuratorate is to be able to investigate all matters involving the interests of these three parties. If someone thinks that the procuratorate can conduct prosecutions on all matters, Su believes that this is also reasonable, because All affairs will involve the rights and interests of these three parties.

However, our procuratorate only has the power to investigate, collect evidence, investigate, and prosecute, but has no power to judge. When our procuratorate investigates any matter, it does not mean that the other party is guilty. Even if our procuratorate finds that the other party is guilty, it does not mean that the other party is guilty. Guilty, all of this needs to be judged by the royal court.

So I hope that everyone can clearly understand what the powers of our procuratorate are. We are not investigating guilt, but investigating the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people, so as to avoid harming the interests of these three.Investigating an event or a person is just a matter of routine and does not mean whether it is illegal or not. "

Many people nodded thoughtfully.

This is really something they didn't expect. They think that the procuratorate will definitely investigate the guilty, and if the person is not guilty, you should investigate too. How idle are you!

At this time, they realized that the procuratorate's investigation was not based on guilt, but also based on the concept of the rule of law. As long as the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people were involved, they could conduct investigations.

This is not a good thing!

This undoubtedly further expanded the power of the procuratorate.

so horrible!

Su Zhe is very talented, so naturally he doesn't need to read the manuscript from time to time, he has already familiarized it by heart. Let’s take an investigation into cooperation as an example.

Because many of your questions are also aimed at this matter.I have to explain clearly that the Department of Elevation Changping has the right to cooperate with anyone, and our procuratorate cannot intervene. "

"You have come to investigate, but you can't intervene." An official asked immediately.

"I was about to explain."

Su Zhe nodded slightly, and then explained: "Our procuratorate is only in charge of the prosecution. Whether there is corruption and bribery in this cooperation, and whether it will harm the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people, we will conduct investigations against the officials and businessmen involved in this matter. Inquiry, and inquire about the content of the signed contract, and then according to their answers, we will send the accountant to calculate to see if it is as they said, but as Su just said, this is just a routine, to ensure that there is no There will be corruption, bribery, and perverting the law, not because we have any evidence, so we investigate. Even if the government cooperates with the Xu family, the Liu family, and the Li family, our procuratorate will investigate."

What the hell?

You can investigate without evidence?

The official immediately asked: "Then who will supervise your procuratorate?"

Su Zhe replied: "The imperial court, the police station, including the government office, and anyone."

"Really? How do we supervise your procuratorate?"

another official asked.

Just now when Zhang Fei answered the question, it was the common people who were asking, but when it was the procuratorate's turn, it was the officials who were asking. It can be seen that the officials are still more concerned about the procuratorate. big.

"If any prosecutors, including me, the Chief Prosecutor, commit any illegal acts, you can sue the royal court or report to the police station. As long as there is evidence, the police station can arrest anyone in the procuratorate."

Cao Dongdong, who was sitting on the other side, suddenly looked embarrassed. Now you know how much power our police station has.

"But who can guarantee that you, the public security bureau, and the law will not act in collusion?"

One question is more spicy than the other, and the common people are dumbfounded. Can you still ask such a question?Whoops!It was only then that President Zhang was easily let go.

Great!

Zhang Fei seemed to have sensed unfriendly eyes from the crowd, so he quickly drank some tea, suppressing his shock.

Su Zhegu replied calmly: "As far as I know, if someone wants to report to the public prosecutor at the same time, they can only go to the Imperial Court of the capital, Dali Temple, and Kaifeng Mansion to file a lawsuit. However, our public security system is very transparent. Yes, everything you do is aboveboard, and you have nothing to say to others. With the current investigation, trial, and sentencing systems of the Public Procuratorate, it should be difficult to collude."

The people nodded straight when they heard it, and they agreed with it very much.

Isn't everything that happened now is what Su Zhe said.

It was a person who suddenly asked: "Chief Prosecutor Su, I don't know how you investigated the salt bonds and salt money issued by the government."

Zhang Fei looked around and saw a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman, thinking, this guy must be a qualified businessman.

Su Zhe said: "Our procuratorate has no right to interfere with the amount of salt bonds and salt banknotes issued by the government. It is up to the government to decide, because our procuratorate does not know the financial situation, but our procuratorate will carry out surprise inspections according to the amount stipulated by the government. , to ensure that the printed salt bonds and salt banknotes will not exceed the amount stipulated by the government.”

"That is to say, the procuratorate can't control the excessive issuance of salt notes and salt debts by the government."

"Yes."

Su Zhe nodded and said, "But if you think the government is spamming, you don't have to buy it."

"But how do we know how many salt notes the government will issue?"

"The government has a specific system for the issuance of salt bonds and salt banknotes. It cannot be decided by a certain official. It needs to be approved by official documents. This is why our procuratorate cannot intervene, but the procuratorate will know the government in advance. How much will be issued, and then it will be inspected according to the regulations on the official document. Here, I strongly suggest that the government announce the specific amount.”

Zhang Fei suddenly interrupted Su Zhe's speech, "I don't recommend Chief Prosecutor Su's suggestion. Our public security law cannot interfere with administration. The government has its own system and regulations on whether to announce it to the public."

Su Zhe was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "But if someone comes to ask our procuratorate about the results of the investigation, our procuratorate will tell the truth."

He is not as coquettish as his brother, but he is relatively strong in his bones.

If the government doesn't make it public, then my procuratorate will make it public.

Officials gritted their teeth with hatred.

Is this what forces them to announce it?

Hearing this, the businessman was completely relieved.

An official said: "Could it be that your procuratorate can release the government's secrets to the outside world?"

Su Zhe said: "There is a special system for confidential copywriting, and it will be difficult for our procuratorate to know. But if this secret will hurt the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people, then our procuratorate will also use a special system. ways to respond and carry out our mandate.”

The official wanted to fight again, but the officials next to him hurriedly stopped him, so don't ask, the more you ask, the more power they have.

The interests of the country, the monarch, and the people are simply a bug.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was a bit strong, Zhang Fei waited for a while and said, "Next, Superintendent Cao will answer the questions for everyone."

Finally it was the turn of the yamen, but it was a pity that Xiao Ma was not there, so he couldn't see the good side of his brother.

Cao Dongdong hurriedly sat upright, putting on a very serious look.

Zhang Fei almost didn't laugh, and quickly scratched his forehead to cover up the sneaky smile from the corner of his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Cao Dongdong took a hard look at the copywriting, and said, "What everyone cares most about our Royal Police is the powers of our Royal Police. The superintendent's explanation for this is that if you have any difficulties, you can find the Royal Police."

Before he could finish speaking, someone asked excitedly, "Can you call the Royal Police for any difficulty?"

"Whether you understand the rules or not, you can ask after the superintendent has finished speaking."

Cao Dongdong glared at the man immediately. He has little experience and a long way to cast spells, but you still interrupt him to keep him alive?

"Sorry!"

The man said embarrassingly.

Su Zhe frowned slightly, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Fei, but seeing that his expression was normal, he didn't say anything.

Compared with the imperial court and the procuratorate, the police station must maintain a certain deterrent force, otherwise, it will become very troublesome when handling affairs.

Cao Dongdong didn't care about them at all, and said with all his heart: "Because our royal police are different from the previous government servants, and also different from their imperial court and procuratorate, our royal police is to protect the people of Song Dynasty for the Holy One.

Therefore, our Royal Police not only detect cases and maintain order, but we also provide assistance to the people. For example, if you just arrived in Hezhong Mansion and don’t know the road conditions, store locations, or rules, you can go to the police station for help.For another example, if the people of Hezhong Prefecture do not know where to pay taxes or where to apply for household registration, they can go to the police station to inquire.

All in all, you only need to remember one sentence, no stranger will be more willing to help you than the Royal Police, or if there is a stranger who is willing to help you, it is the Royal Police in all likelihood, because it is us who protect the people Mission of the Royal Police. "

"it is good!"

"well said!"

As soon as Cao Dongdong finished speaking, there was thunderous applause, and the applause was endless.

Cao Dongdong's black eyes shone with pride, and he said in his heart, it really deserves to be written with my special Daer pen, it fits the temperament of this yamen, and it is many times stronger than Mr. Su Xiao!

After the applause fell, Cao Dongdong was about to continue to play, when one of them suddenly said: "But your royal police beat people more fiercely than Yacha!"

Cao Dongdong left with his eyes wide open, "It's their own fault."

The audience suddenly fell silent.

It's too soon for you to turn your face!

Cao Dongdong said majesticly: "Our police station has repeatedly emphasized that during the law enforcement of the Royal Police, you must obey the orders of the Royal Police, whether you are a commoner or a child of an official, otherwise, you will bear the consequences. The superintendent here emphasizes again that in any criminal case, the Royal Police has no right to convict anyone. Even if you go to the police station with the Royal Police, it does not mean that you are guilty or that you will be punished. It is not necessary Be afraid, unless you have a guilty conscience."

A citizen immediately said: "That's not true. A friend of mine went to the police station and swept the streets for three days without being tried by the royal court."

Cao Dongdong said: "Those people belong to the lightest violations. They are not criminal cases, and they will not be punished. The most serious thing is to dig ditches. This is the right of our police department to decide, but our Royal Police must follow suit. They said that if they are not satisfied, they can also go to the royal court to sue.

Our Royal Police will not even ask anyone for any fees. If a fine is involved, it will only issue a fine. You can take the fine to the warehouse next to the Legal Aid Department to pay the fine. If you are not satisfied, you can also take It is very convenient to go to the Legal Aid Department with the ticket and ask for help. It is just next door. "

"Superintendent Cao, are you telling the truth? Royal police can't ask us for money?"

"Yes."

Cao Dongdong replied affirmatively: "If a royal policeman asks you for money, he must be a fake one, so ignore it."

The common people were overjoyed immediately, the former Yachai lived by asking them for money!

This is the distress of many people. Based on this alone, the Royal Police is ten thousand times stronger than the previous Yachai!

The man fell silent for a moment.

Zhang Fei suddenly whispered: "Okay! This is the end of free play, and then read to the copy, don't make mistakes."

"Hey! I can save this!"

Cao Dongdong nodded, looked at the copywriting on the table, and said in an officer's tone: "Next, the superintendent will talk about the deployment and tasks of our police station this year. First of all, it is the house number. Now all the house numbers have been popularized in the city. It is of great benefit to law and order. This year we will popularize house numbers in all villages.

Second, is household registration. "

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of many officials changed. Although the government government has provided household registration to the police station, the household registration right is not in the hands of the police station.

Just listen to Cao Dongdong said: "Because in some cases before, we found that the household registration provided by the government office was not perfect. There are many people with hidden household registration in Hezhong Prefecture, and our royal police have also investigated this. People with household registration, nine out of ten are tax evaders or military evaders.

But now you can’t escape taxes by hiding your household registration, because the tax department will not only collect taxes based on your household registration, but also conduct tax inspections based on all clues such as fields, houses, and shops. Whether you have a household registration or not, you must pay taxes.

And our police station, like the imperial court and the procuratorate, will not settle old accounts. This year, our police station will require all the people in the entire Hezhong Prefecture to come to the police station to register, including businessmen who come to Hezhong Prefecture to do business. A set of exclusive police station household registration, but this is not to replace the government's household registration, but to facilitate our police station to better maintain law and order and investigate cases.

From next year, our police station, the imperial court, the procuratorate, and even the Legal Aid Department will all adopt the household registration of our police station. If you do not have the household registration issued by our police station, then your lawsuits will face many problems.

Moreover, I believe that those Jieku shops will agree more with the household registration issued by our police station, because if there is a dispute, they also need the assistance of the Royal Police, and our Royal Police investigates cases based on their own household registration.

Therefore, I suggest that all the people in Hezhong Prefecture actively cooperate with our police station and get their household registration at our police station as soon as possible. "

After these words, Wei Yingfang and the others were gasping for breath.

If you do this, the household registration right will be taken away by them.

But it’s not easy to get angry. After all, Cao Dongdong made it very clear that this is not to replace the government’s household registration, but that the police station wants to set up their own household registration.

"at last!"

Cao Dongdong added: "Our Royal Police will establish a whole new prison system, and we will publish the details of the system on the alert.

The superintendent here proposes several key reform measures. First, our prisons in the police station will allow prisoners to meet their relatives on a regular basis;

Second, our police station will allow the prisoner to meet with the pen he hired under certain conditions;

Third, except for the death row prisoners, the rest of the prisoners will be forced to work. The money they earn can improve their own meals in the prison. If there is any surplus, they can be sent to their families.

The reason for this adjustment is also to prevent unjust prisons and prevent prisoners from being unfairly punished in prisons. "

After finishing speaking, Cao Dongdong put down the copywriting and looked up, but saw that the people outside the courtyard were all staring at them blankly.

Can you still do this?

The officials are naturally furious. Isn't your last sentence just mocking us?

Some officials were even ready to refute Cao Dongdong, but before they opened their mouths, warm applause and cheers erupted outside the courtyard.

Many people also realized that today's highlight is not the imperial court, nor the procuratorate, but the police station.

Prior to this, although the police station had made several major actions, they were only achieving results in law enforcement, and in terms of the system, it was more the imperial court and the procuratorate that showed their advantages.

Today is the first time that the Police Department has publicized its institutional advantages to the outside world.

All changes remain the same, those who gain the Tao will help more, and those who lose the Way will not help much.As the most special department of the public security department, the police department must know how to use both kindness and strength.

Moreover, the system of the police station also reflects the system of checks and balances between the public security bureau and the law. Although the police station has violent means, it must be supervised by the royal court.

After the applause subsided, Zhang Fei said, "Okay, today's Q&A will end here!"

"Is it over?"

One said dejectedly.

"Yes." Zhang Fei nodded, "But you don't have to regret it. From now on, our Public Security Bureau will hold a question-and-answer meeting every month to explain your doubts. See you next month."

After speaking, he stood up, and Cao Dongdong and Su Zhe also stood up immediately.

"This question and answer meeting is really exciting, I will come again next time." Cao Dongdong said hehe.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The performance of Ya Nei is also very good."

"Really?" Cao Dongdong said: "Xiaochun was very worried before, thinking that this yamen can't handle it, and he underestimated people."

Su Zhe on the side smiled and shook his head.

Compared with their calm, the officials were like ants on a hot pot, surrounding Han Jiang, complaining in one go.

They public prosecutors are blatantly seizing power!

After half an hour.

In the lobby of the imperial court, officials from the public security bureau and the government were sitting on both sides, and Han Jiang was sitting on the front seat.

"The household registration right has always been managed by the government. What does your police station mean by doing this?"

Wei Yingfang asked angrily at the opposite side.

Fu Shichun replied: "But you don't manage well. The household registrations given to us are wrong in three or four out of ten cases. This seriously affects the law enforcement of our police station. This household registration is very important for our police station to investigate cases. We You can only establish your own household registration system."

"What did you say?"

"fact."

Fu Shichun strongly responded.

The two sides were instantly tense.

Han Jiang suddenly said: "Presiding Judge Zhang, remember what I told you, everyone is sharing worries for the king and serving the country. When encountering problems, you can communicate in private first. There is no need to make this stiff. It is not good for anyone."

Zhang Fei said: "Although I don't have the right to command the police station, I also truthfully told Superintendent Cao what I said about Han Sishi, but was severely reprimanded by Superintendent Cao."

Han Jiang immediately looked at Cao Dongdong, "Why is Superintendent Cao dissatisfied with this?"

"To be honest, the younger generation is very dissatisfied." Cao Dongdong pursed his lips and looked aggrieved.

Facing the elders, he immediately put on a cute face, which made Fu Shichun feel sick.

Han Jiang asked, "How do you say that?"

Cao Dongdong said: "This household registration confusion is not something that happens in a day or two. For this matter alone, our police station has reported to the government 34 times, but we have not received any response. We can't wait any longer. Because if something goes wrong and the people are wronged, it is our responsibility."

"There is such a thing?" Han Jiang frowned.

Cao Dongdong nodded straightly and said: "We all report to the government in the form of official documents, which is easy to find out."

Han Jiang looked at Wei Yingfang with a depressed face.

Wei Yingfang felt his cheeks burning hot, and hurriedly explained: "Firstly, we don't have enough manpower, and secondly, the census of household registration cannot be completed in a short period of time."

As far as the efficiency of the government is concerned, if you don't prepare for two or three years, you can't even think about the household registration census.

Fu Shichun suddenly said: "But in terms of official documents, we just suggest that the government give orders and let our police station do it. It is the same in the capital now, but the official documents handed over are like disappearing into the sea. There is no response. Our police station can only Do it yourself, and our household registration census is only to maintain law and order, just now Superintendent Cao made it very clear that we have no intention of replacing the government's household registration system."

Han Jiang looked at Wei Yingfang and the others mournfully, but the latter bowed their heads in silence.

At that time, of course they ignored the police station. Letting you do it does not mean that the power is handed over to you, but in fact the police station should also take orders from the government.

Now this has become evidence of the police counterattack.

How embarrassing!

This is really impossible to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River.

Everyone knows that the household registration is chaotic. It is common sense that the royal police must have household registration to investigate cases. However, the two reasonable requests were directly ignored by the government, and they had to give a plan even if they did not do good or bad.

However, the police station is much more independent than before. Since you ignore us, then we will do it ourselves.

Han Jiang pondered a little, and said: "In any case, this system cannot be broken. The government and the police station cannot use two sets of household registrations. How about this? The government should make up a decree to the police station, and the police station will still follow orders."

Cao Dongdong immediately said: "We have no objection, we don't want to show off, but we are forced to do nothing."

Han Jiang looked at the government again.

Cai Yanqing nodded and said, "It should be so."
