Noon time.

Liang Dong came to his lounge looking a little tired, and saw only one person sitting inside.

It was the Imperial Censor Li Zhan.

"Liang Silu, how is your discussion going?"

Li Zhan asked.

Liang Dong sat down, shook his head and sighed, "I have tried my best, but they all think that the house should be awarded to Liu Wu."

Although the power of judgment is in his hands, he still has the final say on how to judge.

After the judgment is made, it must be handed over to the judicial department to consult the laws and regulations and to determine the sentence.

The laws of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty were made to be flexible and to prevent problems. They might not be suitable for expanding territory, but they were definitely suitable for judicial administration.

The judicial system requires careful design, careful consideration, and checks and balances. It must never be decided by one person.

...

...

The Silusi Department is not decided by one person, but by a team of judges.

"Why?" Li Zhan asked with a puzzled look, "I was also at the trial just now. Xu Zhiqian didn't produce any hard evidence. Her doubts were refuted by the other party. It is very difficult to make a judgment on such cases."

Liang Dong sighed, "But we have to consider the impact of this case on the public. The fact is that Huang Yongli never asked a doctor to treat his mother, and he did not assume the responsibility of supporting his son. He also admitted that he coveted the house and had a dispute with his mother over it. After his mother passed away, he immediately sought litigation with Erbi.

This is enough to prove that his previous dispute with his mother was not because of filial piety and wanting his mother to live in his own home, but because of the house. If Xu Zhiqian can produce hard evidence, Huang Yongli may even be sentenced to death according to the law. "

Li Zhan said: "But have you considered the clan law? This ancestral house cannot be passed on to outsiders. This punishment will affect the inheritance of the clan."

Liang Dong nodded and said, "Of course I have considered it, but the prison officials and the court officials all think that what Huang's mother did can be regarded as a punishment for Huang Yongli. According to the conditions of this case, this is the only way Huang's mother can punish Huang Yongli. If the elders are unable to punish their unfilial descendants, it will affect the maintenance of the clan."

Li Zhan was speechless.

After all, he is the Censor, and those judges and prison officials are all very professional. They cannot just look at the inheritance rights, but also have to look at the actual situation. This is what is called bending the law to suit human feelings.

Liang Dong added: "If Zhang San hadn't suddenly come out, the result might have been completely different."

The implication is that I still helped, but there was nothing I could do.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Silusi made a judgment, awarding the house directly to Liu Wu, and ordered Huang Yongli to take his mother back to his home and bear the cost of her funeral. The government would also send officials to supervise the process.

At the same time, Huang Yongli was warned that if it were not for your two young sons, you would still have to bear certain criminal responsibilities.

This verdict is truly gratifying.

In fact, most people are like Xu Zhiqian, who just hope that good people will be rewarded and bad people will be severely punished.

The joy of revenge.

But they don't know that the result of taking revenge will inevitably be that the weak will be preyed upon by the strong, and that the injustice will only increase, not decrease.

Everything has two sides, and going to extremes is not advisable.

It is better to follow the Confucian doctrine of the mean.

In fact, the Confucian doctrine of the mean also denies the idea of ​​Confucianism as the only doctrine.

It can be seen that the promotion of Confucianism as the only doctrine is just a political need and has nothing to do with Confucianism.

In the evening.

"Zhang San!"

Xu Zun hurried to Zhang's house, found Zhang Fei, and asked, "Didn't you win the lawsuit?"

Zhang Fei nodded: "Yes, we won! It was perfect."

Xu Zun said, "Then why is Qian'er so depressed and locks herself in her room?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Maybe she was scared."

"Are you scared?"

Xu Zun looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

He knew his daughter's personality very well.

Be scared.

Zhang Fei then informed Xu Zun of the course of the lawsuit, and added: "Before, Zhiqian went to help those poor people, either by giving them money or teaching them the law. Such help was very pure and would not bring any negative effects.

Therefore, Zhiqian also believes that helping good people in lawsuits is the same, doing your best and having no regrets. But lawsuits are not that simple. At that time, Aunt Liu was almost sued by someone else, which was different from what she had thought before. "

"I see."

Xu Zun breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time secretly thanked himself for not going to see it, otherwise he would have been anxious to death. Suddenly, he glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "To be honest, this is all your fault."

"Blame me?"

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.

Xu Zun snorted, "How could she think that if you could win every time?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, not really knowing how to refute. He just nodded with a wry smile: "Blame me! Blame me!"

Xu Zun laughed and said, "Actually, this is a good idea. Let her know that this is not an easy task."

Zhang Fei nodded: "I think so too."

For Xu Zhiqian, this lawsuit may always affect her, and it also shows that she is not professional enough now. She emphasizes good and evil too much instead of the law.

But for Zhang Fei, this is just a lawsuit, and it’s over. He has a lot of things to do now.

The next morning, Zhang Fei went out and prepared to go to the law firm. As soon as he got on the carriage, he saw a graceful beauty sitting inside. It must be Xu Zhiqian.

Zhang Fei opened his eyes, "You?"

"Are you surprised to see me?" Xu Zhiqian snorted.

"A little bit!"

Zhang Fei sat next to Xu Zhiqian, "Wow, you figured it out so quickly?"

Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips and said, "Is this hard to figure out?"

"Haha. You are worthy of being my woman."

Zhang Fei gently hugged Xu Zhiqian.

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at Zhang Fei shyly, and then said sincerely: "But I really have to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I might have harmed Aunt Liu."

"That's it?" Zhang Fei curled his lips, "No sincerity at all."

Xu Zhiqian raised her head and glared, "What else do you want?"

Zhang Fei chuckled, "What do you think?"

Seeing this guy's evil smile, Xu Zhiqian hurriedly said, "I suddenly remembered that I had an appointment with Aunt Liu. You can go by yourself."

He pretended to stand up and escape.

Still want to escape? Zhang Fei put his arm around her slender waist and pulled her back.

Xu Zhiqian gasped and fell into Zhang Fei's arms. She immediately put her hands on Zhang Fei's chest, her face flushed with shame, and said in a negotiating tone: "Just kiss me once."

Speaking of the latter part, the sound is like the hum of a mosquito.

A moment? Shopping for groceries.

"Third brother, Madam Xu, we are here."

Li Si outside the car shouted.

Zhang Fei in the car said, "Zhiqian has an appointment with Aunt Liu, let's go to Aunt Liu first."

Before he finished speaking, Xu Zhiqian in the car said, "Don't listen to him."

Then Xu Zhiqian came out hurriedly.

Qingmei asked, "Sister Qian'er, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

"Shut up!"

Xu Zhiqian shouted and got off the carriage quickly.

Qingmei looked aggrieved after being scolded.

After a while, Li Si saw that Zhang Fei had not come out yet, so he called out again, "Third Brother."

"Wait a minute!"

"oh."

After a while, Zhang Fei finally came out, muttering, "If I had known this would happen, I would have worn my ancestral bra today. It's too revealing. I'll have to ask Wen Yin to make me some bra that can hide my strength when I get home."

As soon as I got off the carriage, I heard someone shouting, "Lawyer Xu is here."

"Lawyer Xu!"

Zhang Fei looked up and saw more than a dozen people running towards Xu Zhiqian. He quickly pulled Xu Zhiqian back with one hand and protected her.

In front of him, "What are you doing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure flashed in front of him.

It was Long Wu.

Zhang Fei glanced at Long Wu. He was indeed fast, but remembering the last time he had a close fight with that scoundrel, he didn't trust him very much.

Li Si and Qingmei also hurried over and stood in front of him to protect him.

An old man said, "We are here to ask Lawyer Xu to help us with our lawsuit."

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian looked at each other.

They immediately realized what was going on. This situation had happened before in the Xu family.

Nothing is more attractive than free.

Zhang Fei suddenly shouted into the store, "Calling for essays. Calling for essays."

"Here I come!"

I saw Qiu Zhengwen walking out from inside.

Zhang Fei added: "Take them to register first."

Qiu Zhengwen let out a cry and looked at Zhang Fei in embarrassment.

Zhang Fei said, "Ask about the situation first."

"Yes." Qiu Zhengwen immediately said to those people, "Everyone, please come in. Please come in."

It was difficult to invite those people into the store.

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian entered the back hall through the side door.

"This morning, quite a few people were waiting at the door. We couldn't get them to leave. If we take them all, we won't be able to do anything."

Fan Li complained.

Xu Zhiqian asked, "Do they really have a grievance?"

Fan Li cried out, "Madam Xu, there are so many people in Tokyo, and countless disputes occur every day. Even if there is a grievance, we can't help that much. The key is that you don't know whether they really don't have the money to give or are unwilling to give it. After all, we are doing business, not running a charity!"

In the past, Xu Zhiqian would not care so much. She would help as much as she could and do her best. This was her usual style. However, after yesterday's lesson, she felt a little uneasy.

There are side effects to litigation. You can’t just do your best, you also have to do it within your means.

She definitely can't do it alone.

Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but look at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian and said, "Zhiqian, I think what Mr. said makes a lot of sense. Helping people without rules won't last long, and it's easy for people to take advantage of the situation. Besides, our abilities are limited, so we should try our best to help those who really need help."

Xu Zhiqian asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Fei pondered for a moment and said, "This may still require cooperation with the government."

Xu Zhiqian was surprised and asked, "Cooperate with the government?"

Fan Li chuckled twice: "Sanlang, you are just daydreaming. If the government is willing to help those people, then it won't be our turn."

Zhang Fei said: "That's not necessarily true."

Suddenly, someone in the courtyard laughed and said, "Business is good!"

Zhang Fei looked up and said in surprise, "Grand Scholar Sima."

The person who came was Sima Guang.

Several people immediately stood up to greet him.

"Grand Secretary Sima has been here for a long time. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you will forgive me." Fan Li said with a flattering look on his face.

"I just stopped by to take a look."

Sima Guang waved his hands. He hated this kind of thing the most. He then said to Xu Zhiqian, "Qian'er, congratulations on winning the lawsuit yesterday."

Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly and said awkwardly, "Qian'er won yesterday by luck, and it was all thanks to Zhang San's help."

Sima Guang glanced at Zhang Fei and said with a chuckle, "That's not entirely true. In fact, it was your last words that really prompted Liu Wu, the judge of the Silu Si, to win the house."

Xu Zhiqian said shyly, "Uncle Sima, you are too kind. Qian'er still has many shortcomings."

Sima Guang chuckled and said, "You still need to learn a lot from your husband!"

Zhang Fei said, "Master Sima, I have something I want to discuss with you."

"Yeah?"

Sima Guang said: "I also have

The point is to talk to you."

"Let's talk inside, please."

When he arrived at the hall, Fan Li tactfully left.

After Sima Guang sat down, he asked, "What do you want to discuss with me?"

Zhang Fei said: "I hope that our shop can provide legal assistance to the government."
