major!
It’s still T’s major!
It is undeniable that people like Fan Chunren and Su Shi were well versed in law, and could even be considered professionals in this field. However, being well versed in law and arguing in court are two different fields.
There is a world of difference between us.
The advantage of geniuses is simply that they can quickly discover the mystery, but this is only limited to paper talk, actual combat is another matter.
Fan Chunren has fought so many lawsuits, and his winning rate in the Silu Division is very impressive.
As the son of a prime minister, he still doesn't understand the affairs of the market clearly enough!
Fortunately, the Prosecution Department generally focuses on criminal cases, which allows them to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
However, the significance of this lawsuit does not lie in victory or defeat. What does it matter if you win? It depends on influence, not identity, status and power.
The General Police Headquarters had no intention of taking care of them at all and had already started working in full swing.
...
...
Warning signs are being put up in many alleys.
And it’s not just within the city.
It was the time of autumn when the weather was clear and cool, and many young men liked to go out hunting and galloping at this time.
But at the edge of the field, I saw four or five riders chasing each other, and thick dust rolled up wherever they passed.
Suddenly, a guardrail blocked the way.
“Oh…”
The dandies stopped and one of them asked a patrolman beside the guardrail, "Why is there a guardrail here?"
The patrolman pointed to the warning sign next to him and said, "You can only drive slowly on this stretch of road."
"Why?" A young man rode forward.
The patrolman replied, "Because this is the only way for farmers to go home, you can only drive slowly. In the future, whenever there is a warning sign like this on the roadside, please drive slowly. Otherwise, it will be considered a violation of traffic regulations."
Several dandies looked at each other in bewilderment. Considering what happened to Wang Qun, they did not dare to shout. They just said dissatisfiedly: "But you have a guardrail here, and we can't get through."
The patrolman immediately explained: "This is only temporary. We are practicing how to chase people who violate traffic rules on this road."
As he was speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves.
A few playboys looked up and saw two horses chasing each other on the road in the distance. One horse was ridden by a real person, while the other horse was ridden by a wooden dummy.
Why make a dummy?
They soon understood what was going on, for they saw the patrolman suddenly brandish a lasso.
Several of the playboys were horrified.
"You...Is this how you hunt down people who violate the rules?"
"We will sound the warning bell first. This is how we deal with it if the other party does not heed the warning."
As he spoke, the lasso had already flown out and accurately caught the dummy.
With a loud bang, the wooden dummy was dragged to the ground and broke into pieces.
Several playboys trembled at the same time, their faces turned pale, as if they were the ones who fell.
The youngest dude immediately complained to the patrolman, "You need to make the warning sign bigger, otherwise no one will be able to see it."
......
The Chief Police Officer came up with a mace in one hand and a mountain axe in the other, showing his fangs and claws, and using both kindness and force. We are not used to that.
The powerful also realized that if they continued to act recklessly, they might become cannon fodder, so they had to find another way.
Now that the General Police Office is under the jurisdiction of the Political Affairs Hall, we can start from this aspect.
So they began to complain to Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others.
Fifty numbers a day.
Priority is also given to those who transport goods.
Even if we want to respect the law, we don’t have the opportunity to do so.
Secondly, most people who ride in sedan chairs are women, and women do not want to show their faces in public, which is a virtue. Such harsh restrictions on sedan chairs are contrary to Confucian morality.
Thirdly, the cost of the carriage is doubled according to the number of people, but why don’t you take the registered population into account? There are more than a dozen people in my family, and I only need three carriages, which is not a lot, but I have to pay several times the money.
This law is too rough and unreasonable.
I have to admit that when these people use their brains, each one is smarter than the other.
Every point hits the point.
Now that the Council of Political Affairs had the power to intervene, Sima Guang could no longer shirk responsibility and sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor. So he went to consult Zhang Fei, and the matter came to a successful conclusion.
Although Cao Ping was the chief superintendent of police, Sima Guang knew that this was all caused by Zhang Fei, so he had to get Zhang Fei to stop first.
"Okay! Okay! Now they are all willing to put up license plates, so just stop there." Sima Guang waved his hand and said with a smile.
He is very satisfied now. After all, everyone is willing to abide by this law, but they just hope to optimize it to address its shortcomings.
This is definitely negotiable.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Sima Xueshi, please don't worry. After a while, they will be too lazy to mention this matter."
Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What else do you want?"
Zhang Fei chuckled, "A license plate is only worth a few strings of cash a year. How can it reflect the upkeep of justice? Therefore, my next step is to rectify those street-invading behaviors. I guarantee that once this happens, they will not care about license plates at all."
"......?"
Sima Guang was stunned for a while, then asked, "Suppress the intrusion?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Sima Guang never dreamed that Zhang Fei had a big trick up his sleeve, and hurriedly said, "Don't mess around, kid. This matter is of great importance. At the beginning, Mr. Fan and Mr. Bao wanted to rectify the street invasion, but they failed due to too much resistance. Now that we have gained something and the situation is in our favor, we should take a step back and talk about it later, so as not to lose more than we gain."
He absolutely supports the crackdown on street trespassing, but he also knows the interests involved. Now that they have won a great victory in the license plate issue, they should definitely stop while they are ahead. If they continue to be aggressive, others will do something desperate.
You have to proceed step by step and not try to do everything at once.
That's what Wang Anshi did, not my Sima Guang's style!
Zhang Fei said: "Master Sima, the fire about the license plate was started by the military patrol shop. The establishment of the General Police Office also requires a fire, otherwise it will not convince the public."
Sima Guang waved his hand and said, "That will take some time. You are forcing people to breathe. Besides, this involves many citizens. It is not as simple as you think."
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, coughed, and said, "But Superintendent Cao asked the government, and the court did not allocate much funds to the General Police Department, so...so the police department must be self-reliant."
"Asshole!"
Sima Guang stood up anxiously and said, "So this is what you are planning. I support judicial reform for the sake of justice, but you are trying to make a profit right away. This is absolutely unacceptable."
If you say that this is illegal and encroaching on the street and that all of it should be demolished, although he doesn't agree with being so hasty, he won't get so angry.
As a result, you are trying to make a profit by doing illegal things, which he cannot tolerate.
Wang Anshi’s idea is exactly the same.
Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Master Sima, please be patient and listen to my explanation."
"If this is what you think, no matter how much you explain, I won't listen, and you will never succeed." Sima Guang waved his hand and said very firmly.
The law must never be enforced for money, which, in his opinion, is too terrible.
Zhang Fei suddenly asked, "Has Scholar Sima ever seen those patrolmen enforcing the law?"
Sima Guang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly, "I've seen him once or twice."
Zhang Fei asked: "What do you think has changed compared to before?"
Sima Guang frowned slightly, "In terms of behavioral norms, it is indeed much better than before. This is one of the reasons why I support you."
Zhang Fei asked again: "Can Scholar Sima go to Baifan Tower?"
Sima Guang thought for a moment and said, "I've been there once."
Zhang Fei asked in surprise: "Once?"
Sima Guang said: "The food and wine at Baifanlou are so expensive, why should I spend this money in vain?"
Don't you want to save some money to buy books?
Zhang Fei gossiped, "That time it must have been someone else's treat?"
Sima Guang said, "Mr. Bao invited me."
It turns out Bao Zheng is so rich, Zhang Fei muttered to himself.
Sima Guang asked: "Why are you asking these questions?"
This gets more and more outrageous the more you ask.
"Please answer me first, Mr. Sima, and I will explain it clearly later." Zhang Fei asked again, "Has Mr. Sima ever been to the tavern on Ma Xing Street?"
Sima Guang said: "I often go to the tavern on Ma Xing Street."
Zhang Fei asked, "May I ask Scholar Sima if there is any difference in the services they provide?"
Sima Guang didn't even think about it and said, "Is there any need to ask? Of course the one in Baifan Tower is better."
"Why?"
"The Baifan Building is so expensive..."
As soon as the words came out, Sima Guang suddenly realized, "These are two different things and cannot be confused."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's the same thing. You get what you pay for. Many patrol officers do not get paid a penny, but have to pay for it. If you ask them to enforce the law, will they be so polite? In fact, if they don't blackmail the people, they are very kind. Without sufficient funds, it is impossible to train a police force that enforces the law strictly. This is the most basic thing."
After a pause, he continued, "Speaking of the street invasion, Sima Xueshi should also know that the street invasion in Bianjing City has become very serious. Many places are completely blocked. If a fire occurs, the firefighters have to bend over and walk in slowly. As for the fire-fighting tools, they can't get in at all. This is very dangerous.
Some people directly occupy the ditches, causing blockages. These must be rectified.
I am not saying that as long as you pay, you are allowed to intrude on the street. Some intrusions that hinder traffic and firefighting must be removed and are not negotiable.
However, for some harmless street-invasion behaviors, we will still give them the opportunity to retain their rights, but at the same time they must pay certain taxes.
A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. We took this money with a clear conscience. There are so many laws and regulations in the court, all of which involve paying fines. Is this all robbery?"
Sima Guang sat down and sighed: "In fact, how could I not know that the key to law enforcement is to make all decisions according to the law regardless of whether you are close to me or not, or whether you are noble or humble.
But have you ever thought that many people chose to expand because they had difficulty living there? You are also aware of the housing prices in Bianjing. If you make a decision according to the law, it will inevitably cause resentment among the people, and the dignitaries in the court will inevitably use this as an excuse to oppose it. How will you end up then? "
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "What Sima Xueshi said also applies to license plates."
Sima Guang snorted, "How much does a license plate cost? It's only a few hundred coins a year, but the housing prices in Bianjing are extremely high. How can we generalize?"
Zhang Fei said: "Since I can get the license plate without causing public resentment, why doesn't Sima Xueshi believe that I can also do this beautifully."
Sima Guang asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Fei smiled naively and said, "Master Sima, don't you know me? I just use one move to fight back and forth."
Sima Guang asked, "A lawsuit?"
