The personalities of Gao Wenyin and Xu Zhiqian are basically opposite, but fortunately, one is weak and the other is strong, so they can complement each other without conflict.

But there is one thing that the two girls are very similar in, which is that their biological clocks are very punctual.

No matter how many fierce battles you had last night, you must open your eyes on time in the morning.

At this time, the sky was still slightly bright.

Gao Wenyin, lying in Zhang Fei's arms, slowly opened her eyes, secretly glanced up at her lover who was still sleeping, two happy dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, and she closed her eyes again for the first time in her life, and gently rubbed against Zhang Fei's arms.

After a while, she opened her eyes again, gently took Zhang Fei's hand off her body, and when she was about to sit up, suddenly a hand held her in his arms again.

Zhang Fei was heard mumbling to himself again: "Sleep a little longer."

Holding Gao Wenyin's beautiful and soft body is undoubtedly a very enjoyable thing, which always makes people reluctant to get up.

Gao Wenyin raised her hand and took the initiative to hug Zhang Fei, raised her head slightly, and said softly: "But I have to go to the garden to take care of the flowers today."

There was actually a hint of coquettishness in it.

...

...

Zhang Fei was gently pressed by the two balls of cotton and immediately became numb. He was completely unable to resist Gao Wenyin's move and opened his eyes. "Then I'll go with you."

Gao Wenyin said hurriedly: "No, you are very tired these days, and last night...just sleep a little longer."

Zhang Fei immediately opened his eyes and said seriously: "What happened last night? Hey...but you begged for mercy first, I'm not tired at all."

I took a bath together with Xu Zhiqian yesterday at noon, so naturally I have to accompany Gao Wenyin in the evening.

We need to equally share public opinion!

Gao Wenyin's cheeks immediately flushed, and she said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, sleep a little longer, I'll go to the garden to take a look."

"A bed without you is not worth remembering."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I'll go to the garden with you."

Gao Wenyin was of course willing, her eyes full of joy, she said angrily: "Then why don't you get up."

"Come, come, come! Your husband will help you get dressed."

"Ah! What are you doing? Aren't you getting dressed? Why are you...!"

"Yes, yes, it's about getting dressed. Why did I think of taking off my clothes?"

......

After spending a wonderful morning with Gao Wenyin in the garden, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian went to the lobby to meet with Cai Jing and others.

These two women, one in charge of outside affairs and the other in charge of inside affairs, are the perfect complement for Zhang Fei, allowing him to concentrate on his career without having to worry about trivial matters.

"Have you eaten everything?"

Zhang Fei sat down and asked them.

Such a considerate and gentle teacher made Cai Jing and others stunned.

After a while, Cai Jing replied: "Thank you for your concern, teacher. We have already eaten...we have eaten."

Zhang Fei asked again: "Where did you eat?"

"Go...go to the city to eat."

The four of them were very curious as to why the teacher was so interested in the topic of breakfast today.

Even Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Are you going there to eat or to show off?"

The four of them showed awkward smiles on their faces at the same time.

"I really can't hide anything from the teacher." Ye Zuqia said awkwardly, scratching his forehead.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Why are you so shy? This is human nature. So what do the people think?"

The four of them immediately perked up.

You say one thing, I say another.

In short, all in all, praises for the Imperial Court and the Grand Chancellor were everywhere.

After these two lawsuits, the people personally experienced the difference between the imperial court trials and the previous government trials.

Zhang Fei just smiled and said, "It may not be long before the people will take the initiative to come to our imperial court, hoping that we can help them get justice. Therefore, our imperial court must be built quickly, and this is the theme of our meeting today. What do you think about this?"

In fact, the Imperial Court has always been in a semi-open state and in a embryonic stage. It has not yet formed a complete body. If a large number of lawsuits suddenly arise, the Imperial Court will not be able to cope with it at all. Zhang Fei also has to quickly build the Imperial Court.

The four of them exchanged glances for a while, and Shangguan Jun said, "I think the imperial court can be divided into large, medium and small to handle cases of different sizes."

Cai Bian and Ye Zuqia also nodded.

This is how Kaifeng Prefecture was set up, with left and right halls, the envoy's court, the prefectural court, the left and right military patrol courts, and the left and right wing officials.

Cai Jing rolled his eyes and said, "I remember the teacher once said in class that the reason why the people dare not sue the government is because the government only punishes but lacks protection. Students think that they can be classified according to the punishment, and those involving punishment are classified into one category, and those not involving punishment are classified into another category."

Zhang Fei immediately gave Cai Jing an approving look and said, "It seems that Cai Jing is the only one who is taking the class seriously and thinking seriously."

“…!”

The other three people were suddenly embarrassed.

Zhang Fei said: "Human energy is limited, and talent is also limited. In addition, practice makes perfect, that is, experience. If it is divided purely by size like Kaifeng Prefecture, then the requirements for the court president are extremely high. For example, a fight between two people and not paying back a debt are both minor cases, but their natures are completely different."

At this point, he wanted to ask the four people: "Can you handle different types of small eucalyptus? Or do you think these small eucalyptus can be handled casually?"

All four of them remained silent.

Although they are confident, they are still newcomers and do not dare to act arrogantly.

Zhang Fei continued, "It can be seen that dividing the imperial court according to the nature of the case is a more professional arrangement, and professionalism will achieve twice the result with half the effort. The punishment that Cai Jing just mentioned is very worthy of reference.

We can divide the imperial court into civil and criminal. One advantage of this division is that when the people enter the civil imperial court, they will not feel any fear, because they know that there is no punishment involved here. If they are mixed together, then the people will still feel fear. "

Several people nodded at the same time, and they all felt that such an arrangement would be able to promote the construction of the rule of law.

Zhang Fei continued, "In these two categories, we can further divide them by size. However, we are currently short of manpower and cannot divide them so finely. However, we can also use different court presidents to hear different types of cases and hear cases that we are good at hearing. You are just starting out now, so don't think about taking on too much. First, choose the regulations that you are most interested in and most familiar with, and specialize in one.

Being good at everything but not good at anything is not the kind of talent our court needs, because a case may involve the lives of two or even more people, so you must find the right direction."

The four of them nodded.

"Thank you for your guidance, teacher. I understand."

"The chief clerk is an exception!"

Zhang Fei tilted his head to look at Xu Zhiqian, "The chief clerk does not need to be good at everything, but he must be able to do everything."

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "I understand, Judge Zhang."

She is really not good at everything, but she can do everything.

Zhang Fei asked again: "Then the question is, regarding the case of General Zhong, do you think this is a criminal case or a civil case?"

"criminal."

The four of them said in unison.

Zhang Fei said: "According to the concept of the rule of law, it should be a criminal offense, because it will definitely endanger the interests of the country and the monarch, not the interests between the two."

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But this is different from an ordinary murder case. This case will directly involve the core interests of the monarch and the country. Any carelessness may cause serious damage to the country. This is of utmost importance. Therefore, such cases must be tried more professionally. Therefore, a separate imperial court must be established for this purpose. It can be named the Military Imperial Court, which specializes in trying cases related to the military."

Shangguan Jun said: "But the regulations in the Song Dynasty's Criminal Code are very simple. Generally speaking, they are all decided by the government and the Political Affairs Hall. I'm afraid it will be difficult to judge."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I have specifically read the relevant military law regulations. They are relatively general, but also relatively comprehensive. Basically, they have been taken into account. We have the power to supplement the details.

In addition, there are cases of corruption among officials, which also require a special court to try them. However, this does not happen every day, so it does not need to be permanent. When a case occurs, it can be set up temporarily, which can also save costs.

By the way, speaking of costs, what do you think about how the Royal Court should charge?"

Xu Zhiqian took the lead and said, "I think we can charge less for poor people's lawsuits, or even nothing for them, and charge more for rich people's lawsuits."

Cai Jing immediately said, "What Xu Zhubu said makes sense. We can set a minimum fee standard, and then charge 10% or 20% of the money involved. As for murder cases, we can charge the relevant fees based on the fines imposed on the murderer."

Zhang Fei looked at Shangguan Jun and Ye Zuqia again.

They both nodded in agreement.

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Why? Do you think you can make money from this?"

Cai Jing said embarrassedly: "I don't dare, but it is reasonable to charge litigation fees. After all, we need to spend money to open a court. As long as the fees are reasonable, it's fine."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "No matter how big or small the case is, it's all free."

Xu Zhiqian opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhang Fei.

When did Zhang Fei become more righteous than himself?

Cai Jing and others looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

There have always been litigation fees. The litigation fees in Kaifeng Prefecture are very high, and there is no specific standard. In short, you just have to pay as you see fit. This is also one of the reasons why people are reluctant to file a lawsuit.

Zhang Fei said: "Everyone likes things that are good and cheap, but if justice becomes expensive, only a few people can afford it. And going to court is not like buying food, but selling thousands of kilograms for a few cents. It is better to make it free and let the people file a lawsuit without any barriers."

Ye Zuqia immediately said, "But if this happens, the people may come to the imperial court to complain about everything. This... this is not appropriate."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Therefore, our imperial court has to set up a special mediation court. Some disputes that do not meet the standards for opening a court session will be handled by the mediation court to save costs.

You have to understand that what we lack most is talent and experience, so handling a large number of cases will help us gain experience, cultivate talent, and help the people get used to solving problems through litigation.”

They are all in the growth stage, and they have to endure hardships at this stage. Judges don't actually have any tricks, just experience, and it's all free. At this stage, it is very beneficial to the development of public security, procuratorial and judicial departments.

Cai Bian said: "But this will also put a burden on the finances."

Zhang Fei said: "A prefecture with fair justice will definitely have better finances than a prefecture with corrupt justice. The benefits we bring to the country are only invisible on the surface. In fact, the court will soon be able to feel it and be willing to allocate funds to us."

Cai Bian nodded and said, "Teacher is right. The exemption tax is earned through fair judicial trials. Compared to the expenditure of the imperial court at that time, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "That's right. If we can get everyone to abide by the tax law, the court will definitely not be stingy with us. But there is one thing, the royal court's expenditures must also have detailed regulations and must be reasonable. It must be able to promote the development of justice. This is the most critical thing.

For example, there was no fee for witnesses to appear in court before, but this is not appropriate because it will make witnesses unwilling to appear in court. Why should I delay my livelihood for other people's affairs? Therefore, we must provide some travel, food and accommodation expenses for witnesses. "

Everyone felt excited and at the same time embarrassed.

Making people pay taxes fairly is undoubtedly the most difficult thing!

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Do you feel very stressed?"

The four of them nodded at the same time.

Zhang Fei said: "It is not a great skill to ask the people to pay the litigation fees. It is a real skill to make the court willingly allocate funds. It can prove that the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs are absolutely correct."
