Chapter 376 Elderly Activity Center

Yushitai is dedicated to interrogating officials, and under normal circumstances, they will not be punished. After all, there is an unwritten rule.

Scholar-bureaucrats cannot be punished.

But Zhang Fei is not a scholar-bureaucrat, and under normal circumstances, he can be tortured.

However, Jiang Zhiqi and others didn't want Zhang Fei to bear it alone, at least they had to bring Xu Zun in. If Zhang Fei was loyal and wanted to bear it all, then they would probably give Zhang Fei a set meal.

Because if this is the case, there are many doubts, and Zhang Fei's age is the biggest doubt.

You are so young, and what books you have read, how can you understand this.

There is no way to prove this.

is sufficient reason for punishment.

But the interrogation process was a bit different from what they had imagined. This kid Zhang Fei didn't show affection at all. He just blamed him everywhere, even his own father-in-law.

It is worthy of being the founder of the law of the rule of law.

If you say that this kid understands the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, that would be a hell of a thing.

With Zhang Fei's confession, Jiang Zhiqi and the others have basically achieved all their goals.

It depends on whether the net is spread larger or smaller.

After taking Zhang Fei down, Jiang Zhiqi said to Lan Yuanzhen, "According to Zhang San's confession, I'm afraid I'll have to ask Sima Junshi and Xu Zhongtu for questioning."

Even if they don't have selfish intentions, these two people must be found.

There are too many doubts about these two people.

Why did Sima Guang force Zhang Fei to go to class?

As for Xu Zun, who would believe that Zhang Fei was able to create an original idea at his age, and it would be more convincing to say that it was guided by Xu Zun.

Lan Yuanzhen said: "Our family was only ordered to come here to inspect, how to investigate, you can decide by yourself, I just advise you, now that there is such a big commotion outside, everyone is watching, don't let people catch you, Don't let go of a clue!"

Jiang Zhiqi was shocked when he heard that, yes!This has to be dealt with impartially, otherwise, you may be involved in it.Nodding again and again, he said, "Please also ask the nobleman to go back and inform the officials, and I will definitely deal with it fairly."

"Row."

Court of Justice.

"how is the situation?"

Seeing Wen Yanbo coming, Sima Guang immediately walked over and asked.

Wen Yanbo shook his head and said: "They are interrogating in secret. I have inquired everywhere, but there is no news at all. Even the prison side can't tell the situation clearly."

Sima Guang frowned and said: "As I expected, there are many people who hate Zhang San in the court. They will definitely not let this opportunity go. This time, it seems that Zhang San is really in danger."

This anger is all about anger, but the old man still hoped to rescue Zhang Fei. After all, he was the one who recommended Zhang Fei to the Imperial College.

Moreover, he had been listening to it all the time, and felt that Zhang Fei's proposal of the legal system did not intend to disturb Gang Chang, so he asked Wen Yanbo to inquire.

But according to the rules of Yushitai, Yushi is interrogated alone, and there is no need to inform the chief, and he can even hide it from the chief.

They wanted to kill Zhang Fei this time, so naturally they didn't want Wen Yanbo to intervene. After Wen Yanbo inquired, he didn't get any news. In fact, there was no way to hide it from the prison. The key point was that Zhang Fei was not locked up in the prison. , Taiwan Prison is really not clear.

Wen Yanbo said: "Don't worry about Zhang San now, don't forget that you recommended Zhang San to enter the Imperial Academy, and now it's very tight, I'm worried that they will expand the case."

Sima Guang sighed: "I've already prepared for this. It's true that I recommended Zhang San to go. If they..."

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door.

"Scholar Sima, someone came from Yushitai and asked you to help solve the case."

"It came so fast!"

Sima Guang couldn't help being a little surprised.

Wen Yanbo also said worriedly: "Junshi, this matter may be big or small, you must be very careful when you go here, don't say the wrong thing."

Sima Guang snorted, "I have a clear conscience, why should I be afraid?"

I remember when Xu Zun first came to work in the procuratorate, it was so beautiful. Everyone wanted to have a good relationship with him. After all, no one wanted to be prosecuted. It's a pity that Xu Zun is not very gregarious, and there are still so few friends around him.

But in a blink of an eye, now everyone can't avoid him, and there are still only a few friends around him.

"These people are really villains."

When Liu Zhao saw that the officials met him and Xu Zun, almost all of them hid their faces and ran away, for fear that Xu Zun would greet them, so he couldn't help but sneer.

Xu Zun said with a chuckle: "It's not wrong for them to do this. If Zhang San is really convicted, it will be a death penalty, and I will not escape."

For example, the pocket crime of making a jacket, a book and a jacket to prevent speech will definitely implicate the family members.

Liu Zhaodao: "At that time, you really should persuade your son-in-law."

Xu Zundao: "Let's not say that I think what he said is reasonable. It's not just nonsense. At that time, the officials, Fu Gong, Wen Gong, Wang Xueshi, and Sima Bachelor were all there, and they didn't refute. Why should I persuade?"

"That's true."

Liu Zhao sighed, and asked again: "Then what is Brother Zhongtu going to do?"

Xu Zun didn't dare to reveal the relationship between the emperor and Zhang Fei, but said: "Zhang San is well versed in the art of litigation, so he must have a countermeasure. Besides thinking about things like this, it's hard to argue. If they want to beat them into a trick , I will never let them mess around."

If they impose the death penalty, the procuratorate can prosecute them. Now in the officialdom, the Yushitai family is not the only one.

Suddenly, two officials walked up to them.

"The next official has seen Liu Sheren, and Xu will be in charge."

The two saluted first, and then one of them said: "We are ordered by the Yushitai to ask Chief Inspector Xu to go to the platform to assist in the investigation of Zhang Sanyi's case."

Liu Zhao couldn't help asking, "I don't know how this case has anything to do with Chief Prosecutor Xu?"

"Sorry, this case is still under investigation, and we can't disclose anything to the outside world."

"It's okay!"

Xu Zun reached out his hand to stop Liu Zhao, and said, "I should also go to assist in the investigation, but please Mouyuan, please go and tell my little girl not to worry."

Liu Zhao nodded: "Brother Zhongtu, don't worry, I will definitely pass this on to Qian'er."

Censorship Desk.

"Scholar Sima is here, please sit down, please sit down."

When Jiang Zhiqi saw Sima Guang, he was very polite, bowed his hands and asked Sima Guang to sit down.

It didn't say that opening the hall gave Sima Guang a blow.

"Polite!"

Sima Guang returned a salute and sat down.

Jiang Zhiqi asked: "The main purpose of inviting Bachelor Sima to come here today is to inquire about the situation of Zhang Sanyi's case. According to our investigation, it was Sima Bachelor who recommended Zhang San to the Imperial College as a teaching assistant."

Sima Guang nodded: "Exactly."

Jiang Zhiqi said: "But as far as I know, Zhang San is just a writer, and his knowledge and talent are nothing more than that. Why did Bachelor Sima recommend him to enter the Imperial College?"

Sima Guang said: "Because I plan to set up a litigation department in the law school, and Zhang San's ability to fight lawsuits is obvious to all."

Jiang Zhiqi said curiously: "But what Zhang San said is not about litigation."

Sima Guang hesitated for a moment, then said: "This is indeed something I did not expect, and about this matter, he himself explained it in class, the reason why he doesn't teach litigation is because he knows that he has no fame. , I am still young, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public, so I came up with this legal method to suppress those students."

Jiang Zhiqi stroking his beard and said with a smile: "That sounds um. Quite weird."

Create a new idea to convince the public?

This sounds outrageous!

Is this a waste of genius?

Sima Guang said: "I thought so too at the beginning, but that's what Zhang San said."

Jiang Zhiqi said: "But Zhang San said that he didn't want to go to the Imperial Academy to teach at first, and it was Bachelor Sima who insisted on letting him go."

Sima Guang nodded, "That's right."

Jiang Zhiqi asked again: "Besides, after Zhang San finished his first class, he didn't want to go anymore, or Bachelor Sima, you must let him continue to talk about the law of the rule of law."

Sima Guang nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

Jiang Zhiqi asked, "Why?"

Sima Guang explained: "I have just explained why I asked him to hire Guozijian to teach. As for the first class, it was because he left many questions unclear. I was worried that it would cause ambiguity, so I asked him to teach." Go and finish this lesson."

Jiang Zhiqi continued to ask: "Does Bachelor Sima think he has explained it clearly now?"

Sima Guang sighed: "At first I thought he explained it clearly, but now it seems that he still hasn't!"

Jiang Zhiqi asked again: "I wonder if Bachelor Sima agrees with this legal system?"

Sima Guang was startled, and thought for a while, "I haven't understood it clearly yet, so I can't say I agree with it."

Jiang Zhiqi said: "But I heard that Mr. Fu agrees with this legal system very much, and also wants to revise the "Song Xing Tong" based on the legal system. I wonder if there is such a thing?"

Sima Guang's heart shuddered, and he immediately said, "The situation is not what you imagined."

Jiang Zhiqi immediately asked: "Then what happened at that time? Did Mr. Fu give any advice?"

Sima Guang frowned.

At the same time, Peng Siyan was also interrogating Xu Zun.

"Mr. Xu's attainments in the law have always been deeply admired by Mr. Peng. It is said that Mr. Xu was the first to put forward the public prosecutor's law."

Peng Siyan asked with a smile.

Xu Zun nodded slightly. In fact, Zhang Fei proposed this law, but it is inconvenient for him to change his words now.

Peng Siyan said again: "Your son-in-law is recognized as the first pen in the Song Dynasty. This lawsuit has been fought all the way from the Dengzhou government office to the Zhengshitang, and there is only one defeat. It must be the true biography of the chief prosecutor."

It is I who have won his true biography.Although he thought so, but no one believed him when he said it, Xu Zun said: "Actually, Zhang San's talent in this area is far better than mine. I discuss the law."

Peng Siyan said: "Then Chief Prosecutor Xu must have known about this legal system a long time ago, and even, this legal system was taught by Chief Prosecutor Xu to your son-in-law."

Xu Zun talked about the matter: "The law of the legal system is definitely not taught to him by me, and I have no such ability."

"is it?"

Peng Siyan immediately said: "It is said that the procuratorate in the Public Prosecution Law is tailor-made for the legal system and can implement the legal system very well. Since the Public Procuratorate Law was proposed by Chief Prosecutor Xu, it is impossible for Chief Procurator Xu not to know the legal system. Bar?"

This time I really stopped Xu Zun.

The procuratorate does have a strong connection with the legal system, but the problem is that Xu Zun did not come up with the public security law!

"Where are you taking me?"

After Sima Guang came out from Yushitai, he couldn't help feeling suspicious when he looked at the unlikely way out of the palace.

An official behind him immediately said: "Scholar Sima, please forgive me. Since the case is still under trial, in order not to leak the news, I can only wronged Bachelor Sima to stay here for a few days."

Sima Guang was surprised: "What? Are you going to arrest this old man?"

I am a dignified adviser to political affairs, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, the head of the Judiciary, and the curator of the Law School. How dare you move the Yushitai?

The official immediately said: "Don't dare! Don't dare! The subordinate officials are only following orders."

Just as he was talking, he suddenly saw three people walking towards him, the leader of whom was Xu Zun.

The two old men looked at each other.

"Junshi, I'm really sorry, we are the ones who have troubled you."

Xu Zun said very remorsefully.

Although he was also implicated, he believed that Zhang Fei was his son-in-law, he and Zhang Fei were together, and Sima Guang was an outsider.

Sima Guang glanced coldly left and right, "I don't blame your son-in-law, it's because of villains."

When he saw the situation, he knew that something was wrong.

Xu Zun couldn't help frowning.

Sima Guang didn't know the relationship between the emperor and Zhang Fei, but he knew that he was also a bit confused now.

Suddenly there was a burst of fragrance.

"This scent is so familiar!"

Xu Zun couldn't help but speak.

Sima Guang sniffed it, "Is this scent quite strange?"

Xu Zun took a deep sniff, "Looks like the hot pot made by Zhang San?"

Sima Guang was surprised: "You said that Zhang San cooks hot pot here?"

Xu Zun hurriedly said: "No! No! Maybe I got it wrong."

In fact, he didn't smell it wrong, it's just that the scene was not suitable for him to see, otherwise, he would have to cancel this marriage.

In a small courtyard not far away, thick water vapor came out of the windows.

Zhang Fei, Ma Xiaoyi, and Cao Dongdong are sitting at the poker table and fighting bloody battles. They drank a lot of wine yesterday and haven't tasted the taste of mahjong. Today, they can be regarded as deeply understanding the charm of mahjong.

There is a small hot pot next to everyone, and three maidservants are sitting aside, watching them play cards, while helping them warm their wine, they are very considerate, serving here, the money is always paid for an hour, devotion has to be calculated separately, this job Where can I find it!

Zhang Fei put down his wine glass, glanced at Cao Dongdong, and deliberately asked: "Yanei, why hasn't the Chief Superintendent come to rescue us yet?"

"How do I know that?" Cao Dongdong looked at the cards in his hand intently, and said casually: "Maybe my father wants me to learn a lesson here, wait for two more days, and come to pick us up as soon as it is sure."

With that said, he played a card.

Ma Xiaoyi touched a card and wondered, "Brother, are we learning a lesson?"

This day is like a god!

Cao Dongdong snorted and said, "Brother's lesson is not comparable to ordinary people. Zhang San, it's your turn, hurry up."

"Oh! You're in such a hurry, big name!"

"No no!"

Cao Dongdong shook his head.

"Little sister, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Fei suddenly asked the maid beside him.

The maid pointed to Nan Feng, "This seems useless."

"Listen to you."

The corner of Zhang Fei's mouth raised, blowing the south wind.

Gollum!

Suddenly heard an unknown voice.

Zhang Fei turned his head and saw Cao Dongdong staring at Nanfeng drooling, "Yanei, what are you doing?"

"I'm crazy."

"If you're fooling around, you're fooling around."

With a snap, the cards fell down.

Ma Xiaoyi exclaimed: "Could this not be the legendary fourth happiness?"

"Huh? Big Four?"

"Hahaha, big four, I'm crazy about big four, wow ha ha ha!"

Cao Dongdong jumped onto the chair excitedly, dancing with excitement.

"It's over! It's over! If you won yesterday, you will lose this hand." Zhang Fei couldn't help looking at the maid beside him.

The maidservant buried her head in the middle of Nenfeng.

"Let me calculate first, how much I have won!"

Cao Dongdong sat down again, and began to count in front of the manual. This was the happiest moment.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and a guard from the Imperial City Division walked in.

But no one was afraid.

Only servants!

"Zhang San, come out for a moment, I have something to explain to you."

"Ok."

Zhang Fei stood up and said to the maidservant: "You fight for me, if you can't win back, you can sleep with me tonight."

"what?"

The maidservant blushed instantly.

Zhang Fei ignored him and went straight outside.

Ma Xiaoyi waved his hand and said carelessly: "Lian'er, don't be afraid, my third brother is just trying to scare you, my third brother must have the guts, but he doesn't have the guts, then Mrs. Xu is a famous tigress in our capital."

Before he could finish speaking, he heard "Ouch" coming from the door.

"Sanlang, are you okay?"

When he came outside, the guard quickly supported Zhang Fei.

"I'm fine!"

Zhang Fei turned his head and stared inside, brat, you're here to expose my faults.He asked the guard again, "What's the matter?"

The guard said: "Scholar Sima and Master Xu have already moved in."

"Wow! Then we have to keep our voices down. If you hear this, you can't kill me." Zhang Fei asked again: "Just the two of them? That's so boring, it's not easy for two people to play mahjong!"

The guard said: "Yushitai has sent people to find Fu Gong, and it is estimated that he will live in here today."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Then I can rest assured."

Back in the house, Cao Dongdong asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's nothing, just tell me that we owe 360 ​​yuan of service fees here."

Ma Xiaoyi said: "I don't even say it, the consumption here is really expensive."

Zhang Fei snorted, "Then needless to say, who else can live in this place except us?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Why don't you bring one more person in, and you can share a little service fee."

Cao Dongdong said: "Xiaochun."

Ma Xiaoyi nodded straightly and said, "Okay! Okay! Let's say later that Brother Chun is with us."

Zhang Fei was terrified when he heard that, and said, "Little Ma, aren't you very righteous?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Share the blessings, share the troubles!"

As he spoke, he scratched his head again and said, "I don't know if we are a blessing or a hardship?"

Zhang Fei was speechless.

Rich mansion!

"Bastard!"

I saw a young man reprimanding several officials towards a door: "Don't open your dog eyes wide to see where this is. This is the prime minister's mansion. You birds are not allowed to be presumptuous. Call you Jiang Yushi to come here!" , I still don’t believe it, but he dared to arrest my grandfather.”

Fu Bi's grandson, Fu Bi, is straightforward, but he doesn't have Fu Bi's gentle and refined temperament, who is polite to everyone.

The few officials in front of the door really didn't dare to be presumptuous, but they couldn't help it.

"What is it?"

Hearing an old voice, I saw Fu Bi walking out with a cane.

The leading official hurriedly bowed, "I have seen Fu Gong, and I am under the order of Yushitai. I ask Fu Gong to go to Yushitai to assist in the investigation of Zhang Sanyi's case."

Fu Bi was not surprised, but just sighed, "Okay! Wait a minute."
