Chapter 356: The Legalist Who Changed the Law
With the passage of the court, the strategy of the Great Roundabout came to a different direction, from the northward strategy to the southward roundabout, and the materials and resources required were astronomical, enough for the court to be busy for a while.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Fan Zheng, his task is only to open up evil prescriptions, and the specific steps are carried out by the hundred officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
"Evil Doctor Fan Zheng!"
The hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but secretly hate, Fan Zheng opened the evil party lightly, and added a lot of heavy responsibilities to the hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty out of thin air.
However, Fan Zhengke didn't care about the opinions of the hundred officials, in his opinion, it was far less important than solving the troubles of his brother Su Dun.
In the Sentencing Division,
Forensic doctor Su Dun is famous, many iron cases that have been firmly established, in the hands of Su Dun, the iron case will be overturned with only clues, find the real culprit, wash away the grievances for the wronged, and let the lawbreaker be punished.
Su Dun alone has contributed one-third of his performance to Kaifeng Imperial Prison, which makes Su Dun almost a hated existence.
"Lankao County Commander Liu Wendong, you are suspected of perverting the law for bribes, bending the law into tricks, and disregarding people's lives, and now the evidence is conclusive, what do you have to say?" Su Dun was furious.
Lankao County Ling Liu Wendong is simply a scum among officials, and he will do everything to get promoted, and the whole Lankao is full of complaints, and even more for his political achievements, he was beaten into a trick and killed many people.
Lankao County made Liu Wendong's face pale, if he was found to be corrupt before, he would be fearless, it was a big deal to send Lingnan, and there would be no chance of a comeback in the future.
However, since Fan Zheng proposed the evil edict, all the criminal officials have been no longer exiled, but have been imprisoned in the edict prison, and have since lost their personal freedom, and there is no chance of a comeback.
"Evil doctor Fan Zheng, forensic doctor Su Dun!" Liu Wendong hated a lot in his heart, if there were no two of them, how could he fall to this fate, the two of them were embarrassed, one found evidence of his crime, and the other built an edict prison with an evil party, and also said in a beautiful name, not to kill the doctor, to give preferential treatment to the doctor, according to his crime, it is enough to sit in the edict prison until old death!
"Su Dun Xiao'er, do you think that if you catch the handle of the old man, you will be able to return the world to a prosperous world? There are more officials in the world who are more corrupt than the old man, don't think that just by relying on your Su Dun, you can clarify Yuyu and settle the world's wrongs, not to mention that you have a Su Dun, that is, ten or eight, and don't want to make this turbid world clear. Liu Wendong laughed wildly.
Fan Zheng frowned and looked coldly at the rampant Liu Wendong.
"And your forensic doctor Su Dun is just the father of the world-famous Su scholar, and Fan Zheng, a popular evil doctor around the official family, is a brother, otherwise you are a child, how can you take advantage of the old man." Liu Wendong said coldly.
A child who has just been weakly crowned, if it is ordinary, how can he be placed in Liu Wendong's eyes, but Su Dun's identity behind him is extremely special, so he can't make a trick behind his back, otherwise when Su Dun just appeared in Lankao County, he will be sure to make Su Dun go home in embarrassment.
"Take it down!"
Su Dun waved his hand and asked people to take Liu Wendong back, I believe that it won't be long before Liu Wendong will have a place in the single room of Kaifeng Imperial Prison.
However, after Liu Wendong's words, Su Dun at this moment no longer had the excitement of solving the case before, but was full of sorrow.
The longer he served as a criminal officer, the more disappointed he was in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were rampant, and every case made people gnash their teeth, as Liu Wendong said, he alone was powerless to reverse the pattern of the Great Song Dynasty.
Even without the background of his father and Fan Zheng, he would have lost his official position many times, and he couldn't even save his life, in a murder case he solved, the deceased was a young county magistrate full of enthusiasm, but unfortunately there was no background behind him, and he was designed to die unjustly.
When Fan Zheng and Yang Jie found Su Dun, they saw that Su Dun, a young man who had just been weak and high-spirited, was already in the twilight.
"Fan originally thought that Brother Su was reluctant to marry because he didn't meet the person he liked, but he didn't expect that Brother Su was already old." Fan Zheng sighed.
"Old! Brother Fan is not hysterical, Brother Su is twenty years old this year, who dares to say that he is old. Yang Jie said in surprise.
With his medical skills, it can be seen at a glance that although Su Dun is not strong now, he is also a normal person's body, and there is no serious illness or disaster.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "What I am talking about below is not Brother Su's body, but Brother Su's psychology, and now Brother Su is under too much pressure in his heart." ”
Su Dun turned around and said with a tired face: "Sometimes I really envy the two of you, you can treat patients without distractions, you can repeatedly come up with evil prescriptions, and everyone's affairs can be solved." However, the younger brother's forensic doctor is not, he is used to seeing the greatest evil in the world, and the evil deeds that have been repeatedly banned will even be repeated in the future. ”
Yang Jie couldn't help sighing, he practiced medicine all day long, and there was the joy of bringing people back to life, and Su Dun dealt with corpses all day long, behind every corpse was a tragedy, and over time, Su Dun, who was already suffering from heart disease, was naturally affected.
Fan Zheng said in his heart: "It's rare for my brothers to meet today, why don't you have a drink!" ”
"As it should be!" Yang Jie said knowingly.
Su Dun was also greatly moved, he was determined to emulate Bao Qingtian and kill the evil officials in the world, but the reality gave him a heavy blow, it can be said that he was tired, and now that the two best brothers are here, he naturally has to completely indulge.
At that moment, the three of them found a remote restaurant and asked for a private room to avoid all disturbances.
After three rounds of drinking, Su Dun became drunk, his face was slightly red, and he finally let go of his heart and said: "Liu Wendong's words are good, if there is no background of Brother Fan and his father, Su is afraid that he will be as wronged as Meng Zhixian, who is blind to death." ”
"At least Brother Su won, and finally bring Liu Wendong to justice, this matter has been reported in the court, everyone applauded, and the official family is ready to let Brother Su be promoted to a higher level and sentence more cases." Yang Jie comforted.
Even if he was in the doctor's house, he heard the deeds of the forensic doctor Su Dun.
Su Dun shook his head and said: "Brother Yang doesn't know that Su was able to beat Liu Wendong because of his father's relationship and strong support from the DPRK and China, so he was lucky enough to find evidence of Liu Wendong's crime, and in fact, there is a lot of evidence of unjust cases that have long been lost, even if Su tried his best, he still couldn't overturn the case." ”
Su Dun raised his wine glass and drank it all, feeling depressed in his heart.
"You have done your best, and now you have sent many officials to prison, and you have alerted many officials." Fan Zheng sighed.
The Great Song Dynasty does not kill scholars and doctors, and the protection of officials and officials is extremely serious, and now there is a forensic doctor Su Dun who solves cases like a god, and he has repeatedly cracked major cases, and many officials' crimes have been exposed and sent to the Imperial Prison, and the threat of the Imperial Prison and Su Dun has greatly restrained the behavior of officials.
"Edict!"
Su Dun snorted coldly and said, "Su can't wait to be like Lord Bao Zhengbao and kill all the criminals under the tiger's head." ”
He has experienced too many official cases, and once an official is evil, the evil consequences caused by him are a thousand times greater than that of ordinary people, and it can be said that it is difficult to write a lot.
Just losing their official position and entering the edict of a single room is simply too cheap for them.
Fan Zheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, the Great Song Dynasty did not kill the doctors, and even the doctors who could not be punished were strictly enforced, and the edict he proposed a workaround had already made the ministers angry, and they united to fight back against the doctor, in a vain attempt to make him submit.
"It's a pity that the tiger head and the dragon head are just in the play, and it is impossible for them to appear in the yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, and even Bao Zheng has not killed officials, at most he will send them to Lingnan." Fan Zheng shook his head.
Su Dun was stunned, raised his wine glass and drank it all, wanting to extinguish the resentment in his heart.
"Now it is the best situation, with Brother Fan's edict and Brother Su's forensic skills, it is enough for corrupt officials to be punished." Yang Jie raised his glass and said.
Su Dun shook his head and said: "At the beginning, Lord Bao Zhengbao's reputation was known to the whole world, but he still couldn't let the world's criminal officials ban it, let alone Su!" With the strength of one person, you will never be able to fight against the darkness of the world. ”
Su Dun was a little discouraged, he was talented and intelligent, how could he not know that what Liu Wendong said was true, there were endless corrupt officials in the world, and it was impossible for him Su Dun to fight against the entire Great Song Dynasty bureaucracy.
Fan Zheng's eyes flashed and said, "I don't know if Brother Su is willing to change the law!" ”
"Legalist!" Su Dun was taken aback, and the wine that had just sprung up suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Fan Zheng in disbelief.
"Legalists can also change the law?" Even Yang Jie exclaimed.
For a long time, there has been a constant controversy about the change of the law in the court, and the new party and the old party have taken turns to govern, but all the focus is on financial management, and there has never been any legal involvement.
Fan Zheng said lightly: "The doctor can change the law, the court can change the law, and the legalist can naturally change the law!" Since Bao Zheng has not let the corrupt officials in the world be banned, not to mention us, all the crimes of corruption and perversion of the law in the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid there is only one way, that is, to change the law. ”
Su Dun's eyes lit up suddenly, he had personally experienced the changes of the doctors, and he was extremely familiar with the changes of the court, so he naturally knew that if he wanted to break the current deadlock, I am afraid that there was only one way to change the law.
"The reason why the officials in the world are blatantly corrupt and pervert the law is because the presiding official decides the case with one word, and absolute power will lead to absolute corruption, so the first step to change the law is to break the official's word!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"Please also ask Brother Fan to teach me!" Su Dun bowed solemnly to Fan Zheng.
"The matter is simple, and that is to allow an appeal!" Fan Zhenglang said.
"Appeal?" Su Dun and Yang Jie were very dissatisfied.
Fan Zheng explained: "In the past unjust cases, it was up to Brother Su to find the wronged cases from the dossier, whether they were wronged or not, don't the bitter lords know, but they have suffering, if they are not discovered by Brother Su, they may not be able to redress their grievances for the rest of their lives, if the case gives the bitter lord the opportunity to appeal, and the judgment in the county government is unfair, you can appeal in the government and make a second-instance judgment." ”
"The verdict of the second instance?" Su Dun's heart moved, the prefect is the top boss of the county order, and he controls the promotion and future of the county order, how can the county order hand over the handle of corruption to the boss.
In addition, if the second-instance judgment is implemented, as long as one person in the county order and the prefect is upright, he will not sit idly by and watch the occurrence of an unjust case.
"That's a great deal!" Su Dun shook his fist excitedly.
A county order is simply a local emperor, controlling the life and death of the people in a county, it can be said that the county order is not a lie, it really has such power.
The second-instance system directly broke the county order's one-word hall in the judgment of the case, so that the county order no longer dared to bend the law unscrupulously, and the prefect is the closest official to the county order, if a problem is found, it can be redressed as quickly as possible.
"What if the prefect and the prefect order are in the same stream?" Yang Jie suddenly interjected.
In an instant, Su Dun's face froze, if the county order and the prefect were in the same stream, I am afraid that the wronged people would have no chance to turn over.
Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Then we have to talk about the cost of sinking, it may only take 100 yuan to buy a county order, but if you want to buy a prefect, I'm afraid it will cost as much as 500 yuan, how can an ordinary family come up with so much money, this article alone greatly reduces the possibility of the two colluding together." ”
"Sunk costs!"
Su Dun nodded, from the cost point of view, the price of buying a county order and buying a county order and the prefect at the same time is simply a world of difference, ordinary people simply can't afford such a high price, this alone can reduce the occurrence of unjust cases.
Yang Jie was unconvinced and said: "Reducing the possibility of collusion does not mean that it will not appear." ”
Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "This matter is indeed possible, and the Criminal Division where Brother Su is located is where it comes in." ”
Su Dun nodded slightly, in fact, the existence of the Criminal Division is already similar to the second-instance system, supervising cases in the world, and Fan Zheng proposed to let the people involved in the case appeal, let the prefect have a second trial, and let the Criminal Division supervise, which is enough to greatly reduce the blatant corruption of officials.
At the moment, Fan Zheng explained the trial system and Su Dun in later generations.
"In the second-instance system, arrest and trial are not subordinate to each other, and the criminal department takes the initiative to intervene in vicious cases." With Fan Zheng bringing the systems of later generations one by one, Su Dun suddenly drank like a rain, according to Fan Zheng's strategy, changing the forensic doctor will definitely make the justice of the Great Song Dynasty more fair, so that countless Liu Wendong have nowhere to hide.
"Wait, this is going to poke a hole in the court!" Yang Jie smiled bitterly.
Whether it is the Qingli New Deal or Wang Anshi's change of law, either involving the rule of officials or financial management, and not involving the Legalists, as soon as this policy comes out, the Great Song Dynasty will set off a new round of changes, and the situation in the court will be more turbulent.
Su Dun's eyes are firm, he is known as the forensic doctor Su Dun, this time he will create a precedent for legalists.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Since ancient times, those who change the law have been in great difficulty, and the ancestors Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi have become famous for changing the law, but the two have been squeezed out by hundreds of officials. The career is bleak. If you want to change the Fa family, Fan and Uncle Su alone may not be able to protect you, so I am ready to find a third backer for you! ”
"The third backer? What kind of backers in the world can resist the siege of hundreds of officials. Su Dun smiled bitterly.
"Royal?"
Fan Zheng said word by word.
Su Dun smiled bitterly: "How can the royal family stand up for Su for no reason." ”
"Of course it won't be for no reason, I heard that Princess Xu Guo is fifteen years old and is choosing a husband everywhere, if you are still a concubine, naturally no one will dare to target you in the future." Fan Zheng said amazingly.
