Zhang Fei originally wanted to go over there to take a look, because he expected that this matter would definitely alarm Cao Ping, and Gu Ji would definitely send people over, so he was a little worried.

But before he could go out, he was blocked by Su Shi.

Ever since Su Shi lost last time, he became more and more excited about the lawsuit. Instead of becoming discouraged, he became more and more courageous and looked forward to going to court every day.

"You said before that the main responsibility of this procuratorate is to prosecute. Now that the General Police Department wants to prosecute Chunfeng Shili, this should be under the jurisdiction of our procuratorate."

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian helplessly, and then said to Su Shi: "Mr. Su, I was just reminding you at that time. I am just a yamen servant. It is useless for you to come to me for this matter. You have to go to the police station."

Su Shi snorted, "Don't think I'm ignorant. This matter is most likely your decision. You just don't trust me."

Zhang Fei simply nodded and said, "Personally, I really don't trust Mr. Su, because Mr. Su may not be able to control this lawsuit."

Su Shi was arrogant to his core, and upon hearing this, he became even more reluctant, "The other party violated the rules first, this is an ironclad fact, how difficult can this be?"

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, if a peddler was resting on the side of the road and a horse-drawn carriage knocked over his goods, who would be held responsible?"

“This is different.”

...

...

“It’s actually the same thing.”

Zhang Fei said: "Although the land does not belong to him, the house on it is definitely private property. The court has the right to confiscate and demolish it according to law, but this is public power, which does not mean that you can destroy other people's private property at will.

For example, take fugitives. Officers and soldiers have the right to hunt down fugitives and even shoot them on the spot, but if you murder a fugitive, you are also breaking the law, but the sentence may be lighter when it comes to sentencing.

In this case, one is the Homestead Law and the other is the Traffic Regulations Law. The two are actually parallel. Can the Traffic Regulations Law be used to solve the Homestead Law problem? This is a very complicated issue and must be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

A very basic legal principle is that breaking the law is never an excuse for you to commit a crime.

We must never say that we can kill him just because he breaks the law. If that’s the case, what is the role of public officials?

Of course, assisting the police or protecting oneself is another matter.

Nothing is absolute.

That's why it has to be tried.

After hearing this, Su Shi was even more ecstatic: "You are right. This lawsuit is indeed more difficult than I thought. Don't worry, I will study it carefully and will do my best."

He is not interested in cases that are too simple.

Be challenging.

"......?"

Zhang Fei almost swore, "Boss, I'm not trying to provoke you, I'm serious, please stop messing around." He said helplessly, "Mr. Su, I know you are well versed in the law, but you don't have the skills required for this lawsuit."

Su Shi asked: "What technique?"

"You'll know then."

Zhang Fei said earnestly, "Let's talk about the facts. This case is just a very common traffic accident. It is not within the jurisdiction of the procuratorate. I will not transfer this case to the procuratorate, and the General Police Headquarters will not agree to it either."

Seeing Zhang Fei's firm tone, Su Shi knew that he had no hope and couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

Zhang Fei smiled secretly and said, why are you in such a hurry? You will be busy when the time comes.

After finally seeing Su Shi off, Zhang Fei looked at the sky and said, "Forget it! Let's ask Li Si to go and ask about the situation later."

He turned his head to look at Xu Zhiqian again, "Zhiqian, let's start getting ready. Zhiqian?"

Xu Zhiqian seemed to be thinking about something, "Ah? What did you say?"

Zhang Fei asked: "What are you thinking about?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "As you just said, this lawsuit is indeed more difficult than you imagined. Just because a house is illegal doesn't mean you can burn it down."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "So this lawsuit requires a skill."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "What technique?"

"That is..." Zhang Fei asked, "Can you draw?"

Xu Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, "I...my paintings are just average."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's OK in general."

......

At the same time, Fang Rui also conveyed Cao Ping's intention to Gu Ji.

There is no way the General Police Department would give in even a little on this matter. After all, the General Police Department has been criticized a lot in recent days and its reputation has been seriously damaged.

Unless you are willing to apologize and admit your mistake.

But how is this possible?

If I were to apologize, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that I had violated the rules and was guilty? It would be better for me to go to court and fight the case.

However, Gu Ji and his men could not use the power of the court to stop the General Police Office, because they were the ones who instigated the incident, and the General Police Office has been backing off again and again, and they only accepted the challenge because you insisted on suing them.

Even if this matter was brought to the Council of State, or even to the Chuigong Palace, Cao Ping would certainly not be blamed.

You brought this upon yourselves.

The good news is that Li Guozhong and others believe that this lawsuit can definitely be won, and it will be difficult for Zhang Fei to avoid being charged by the patrol police by trespassing.

So Gu Ji immediately spent a large sum of money to hire other tea eaters such as Fei Ming to defend him.

......

However, this sudden turn of events also caused confusion in public opinion.

Some people support Gu Ji, while others support the General Police Department.

After all, it's the butt that determines the head.

Those who have street-invasion behavior at home will definitely support Gu Ji, and those who do not have street-invasion behavior at home will definitely support the General Police Department.

This has nothing to do with justice. Even those who support the Chief Police Department believe that the benefits of public areas should be shared equally by everyone. Why should you occupy them while we get no benefit at all? It would be better for no one to occupy them.

......

For Sima Guang, Wang Anshi and other vice-chancellors, what they saw was a social phenomenon, namely the act of invading the streets.

This kind of behavior is actually very serious. Every few years, a minister would report this matter to the emperor. The court has tried to rectify it, but it often ends in failure and nothing is done.

This has become common.

Therefore, when the General Police Office prosecuted Chun Feng Shili for this crime, it also attracted the attention of the prime ministers.

Although this is a small lawsuit that could happen every day, it becomes different because of the crime.

The Silusi also showed enough respect and did not say that the trial would begin the next day. According to convention, the trial could have begun on the same day, but Lu Jiawen still postponed the trial for seven days to give them enough time to prepare.

Moreover, he deliberately chose to conduct the trial on a court holiday.

In fact, Lu Jiawen also hopes that everyone can pay more attention to this lawsuit. After all, the bigger the better. This is his highlight moment to show his talent.

He also enjoys the challenge.

.......

Today is the trial day.

Zhang family.

As usual, Zhang Fei sat in front of the bronze mirror with his eyes closed, letting Gao Wenyin fiddle with it.

"alright!"

Gao Wenyin smoothed out the wrinkles on her collar, then stepped back and looked at it carefully.

Zhang Fei suddenly reached out and put his arm around Gao Wenyin's waist, and then pulled her closer to him. He asked with a smile, "Madam, do you think I look more handsome in this outfit or in the uniform of the Yaqianyi?"

Although Gao Wenyin was already used to Zhang Fei's hug, she still leaned back shyly, pursed her lips, and revealed two dimples on both sides of her mouth, "Look, this one looks better."

Having said this, she suddenly raised her eyes to look at Zhang Fei, bit her lips lightly, and whispered: "In the past, whenever Sanlang wanted to sue, I always felt uneasy, but now it seems that suing is more reassuring."

Zhang Fei asked, "Is Madam's uneasiness becoming more and more intense?"

Gao Wenyin nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, "How did Sanlang know?"

Zhang Fei just smiled and didn't answer. "Let's go out, Zhiqian will get angry later."

"oh."

Gao Wenyin nodded, but there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. She glanced at Zhang Fei secretly, frowned and thought, and gradually, a blush spread from her neck to her face.

When they arrived at the lobby, as expected, Xu Zhiqian grabbed Zhang Fei and started nagging him.

A man loves beauty more than a woman.

It's really incomprehensible.

As usual, with Xu Zhiqian's nagging, the two got on the carriage and rushed to the Silusi.

......

At this time, the Silu Division was already overcrowded, and every time Zhang Fei had a lawsuit, he would be the center of public attention.

But it doesn’t mean that everyone likes to watch Zhang Fei argue lawsuits. It’s just that every time this guy fights a lawsuit, he hits their sensitive spots, making them itchy and restless.

But the Silusi did not have the same conditions as Kaifeng Prefecture. Although some of the visitors were high-ranking officials from the court, there were very few places to sit and they could only sit in the corridor. Fortunately, the weather was good and the autumn sunshine was very warm.

The ministers just stood on the sandy ground, basking in the sun and chatting.

Censor Li Zhan suddenly came to Sima Guang and the others and asked, "Grand Secretaries, do you think this lawsuit is another conspiracy of the General Police Department?"

Sima Guang's heart skipped a beat, and he asked calmly, "What do you mean, Censor Li?"

Li Zhan said, "Didn't they use feces to get the license plate last time? This time, will they use this accident to collect street trespassing tax again?"

Feeling guilty, Sima Guang stroked his beard and looked at others.

Lu Gong said, "This is unlikely. I heard that the General Police Department had repeatedly asked for reconciliation with Chunfeng Shili and was willing to pay compensation. It was Chunfeng Shili who refused, so they went to court. This doesn't seem to be a deliberate plan."

Li Zhan said: "But they might also take advantage of this issue to make a fuss?"

Wang Anshi laughed and said, "I can sense a guilty conscience in your words."

Li Zhan glanced at Wang Anshi and snorted, "I have always rented a house like Wang Xueshi. This street invasion has nothing to do with me. Why should I feel guilty? But I think many street invasions are justifiable. In Bianliang, land is very expensive and it is difficult for the people to live. There is no other way to move an inch of land. Our Song Dynasty has always been a country of benevolence. We should consider the reasons behind the street invasions instead of just focusing on making money."

Wang Anshi looked at Li Zhan with contempt, "I didn't say anything to you, why are you so anxious?"

How could he not know that Li Zhan was here to test whether the Political Affairs Hall had any intention of rectifying the street intrusions?

If not, then it doesn't matter.

I’m afraid they might have this idea.

Sima Guang was not in a position to express his attitude, because he knew that the next step was to rectify the street-invading behavior.

Just at this moment, a shout was heard.

"Go to court."

"here we go!"

Sima Guang hurriedly said, "Please come in, everyone."

"please."

The Silu Division is not as particular as the Kaifeng Prefecture, and this is just a small lawsuit after all, and it cannot make a big fuss just because there are many guests.

After Lu Jiawen and a group of managers and judges sat down, the envoys from both sides came up to the hall, exchanged greetings, and took their seats without any extra formalities.

Wang Anshi laughed and said, "You know what, I used to think Zhang Fei looked awkward in this outfit, but now it seems that this outfit suits him better!"

This statement really resonated with many people.

Zhang Fei has rarely been in class recently, so when everyone saw Zhang Fei wearing a green robe, they felt a little touched.

Compared to Zhang Fei, the Silu Division is Li Lei's main battlefield, and he has a very good chance of winning here. He stood up first and said, "First of all, I want to make it clear that the other party's prosecution is purely a trick to confuse the public and mislead the Silu Division's trial.

Regardless of whether Chunfeng Shili violated the rules, even if it did, it does not reduce the responsibility of patrolman Xie Hui. According to our country's traffic laws, patrolman Xie Hui should bear all the responsibility. "

As he spoke, he looked at the documents and said, "In the fourth year of Jiayou, Bao Gong, the then acting governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, tried a case of a horse trampling crops. During the trial, Bao Gong found out that the land was occupied by the government and there were violations. However, Bao Gong still ruled that the person who trampled the crops was breaking the law. The horse rider not only had to compensate the landowner in full, but also received fifty years of punishment.

There are countless cases like this. I have prepared ten of them here, please have a look, Mr. Lu."

The ministers who were watching all nodded slightly.

These are two different things.

You can't say he violated the rules and you haven't violated the law.

That doesn't make sense.

Su Shi whispered to Fan Chunren beside him, "What do you think, Mr. Fan?"

Fan Chunren stroked his beard and sighed, "I also think that they can't be confused."

Su Shi frowned.

Zhang Fei had mentioned this issue to him before, and he thought about it seriously when he went back, but he couldn't find a reasonable reason to file a complaint.

He gradually realized that this dispute was very complicated and not as simple as he had imagined.

Lu Jia asked, "Present it."

After seeing this, Xu Zhiqian whispered, "They have made great progress! They actually thought of using this to avoid violating the rules and have prepared so many cases."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "This is the truth. Breaking the law is never a reason to commit a crime. Unfortunately, this traffic accident was a case of reality, not legal principles."

After reading it, Lu Jiawen nodded and looked at Zhang Fei again.

Zhang Fei stood up and said with a calm smile: "Similar cases can only be used as corroborative evidence and cannot be generalized. Although the cases may be similar, the law does not allow for minor differences. We have to judge based on the course of this case. I hope to subpoena the certified eyewitness Liu Tong to testify in court."

After hearing this, Li Lei couldn't help but frown and said, "It seems that he doesn't want to get entangled with us on this issue."

"impossible."

Li Guozhong shook his head and said, "If we put aside the violation of street trespassing, it must be their fault."
