Procuratorate.

"These evidences are flawless and are irrefutable. How can Zhang San turn his back on the case?"

Su Che sat in front of the eucalyptus with a sad face, muttering to himself.

The papers on the table were piled up like a mountain. These days, he had spent all his sleep and food, tirelessly reviewing all the evidence.

But it seems that there is indeed no problem.

At this time, Qi Ji came into the house and said, "Prosecutor Su, a letter has just been sent from Kaifeng Mansion. They have requested the imperial court to transfer the indictment to Kaifeng Mansion. They hope that the case can be heard as soon as possible."

Su Che was startled and seemed hesitant. After a moment, he said: "Now that we have to face Zhang San, should we make more preparations? I want to go to the places written on these evidences to see in person.

To make sure nothing goes wrong.”

"But we have sent people to investigate this evidence, and there is absolutely no problem."

Qi Ji added: "Prosecuting Su, we have been preparing for this for a long time and the evidence is sufficient. However, Zhang San only took on this lawsuit recently. If it continues to be delayed, won't it be more beneficial to Zhang San?"

At least those ministers in the DPRK and China will think so, and maybe the Kaifeng government will think so too. If we postpone it for some time, if there is a problem in court, we may be impeached."

It will take at least half a month to complete this tour.

Su Che was still a little hesitant.

Qi Ji added: "The main reason is that we have no reasonable reason to postpone it. This will definitely attract criticism."

Su Zhe wanted to go and see for himself, not because he had any thoughts, but mainly because he felt uneasy and wanted to try his luck. However, the prosecutors had already investigated before. If the prosecution was postponed for this reason, then what if

If there is no harvest, and the case is lost by then, the entire procuratorate will be at the forefront.

"All right!"

Su Che nodded and said, "But add Wang Hongjin's previous tax evasion charges, just in case."

Qi Ji's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea, it can catch the opponent off guard again."

When they prosecuted Xu Yu and Qin Biao before, they did not launch an investigation into whether they had engaged in tax evasion before. Because there was a tacit understanding between the Procuratorate and the Taxation Department at that time, the Taxation Department only provided evidence on income and deliberately avoided the previous

tax situation.

After all, this is a trial of a new law. If you use the new law to calculate old taxes, it will be meaningless. Not to mention whether Sima Guang and others will agree, Wang Anshi will not agree. If this is done, who will support the new law.

The new laws enacted by the Legislative Council were also intended to set the tone for this purpose.

But after all, the Taxation Department has provided a very comprehensive income evidence. If the Procuratorate investigates carefully, it can still find evidence of tax evasion.

Now the procuratorate actually has evidence of tax evasion by Wang Hongjin, but the previous indictment did not involve this crime.

But now that Zhang Fei suddenly intervened, public opinion in the DPRK and China began to reverse, from opposing the Procuratorate to supporting the Procuratorate. Now if we prosecute this crime, everyone will support it.

...

Since you want to fight quickly, then just hurry up and don't give Zhang Fei too much time to prepare.

The Procuratorate immediately wrote another indictment and formally filed a lawsuit with Kaifeng Prefecture.

As for the Kaifeng Prefecture, they have been under pressure from all parties, urging them to open court as soon as possible and try the case as soon as possible.

The reason why the incident has reached this stage is not because the imperial court has been delaying, causing them to worry that Kaifeng Mansion will not be pressured by the emperor to use such dirty tricks.

However, they were obviously overly worried.

Zeng Gong was impatient. This evidence alone was enough to convict Zhao Wenzheng. He did not waste a moment. After receiving the indictment from the procuratorate, he immediately announced that the trial would begin in a day.

...

After a whole year, Kaifeng Mansion once again ushered in its own highlight moment. This early in the morning, it was already full of guests and friends.

Fortunately, everyone in the Kaifeng Mansion has rich experience in dealing with this. Under the arrangements of Li Kai and Huang Gui, they have been well prepared.

The weather was also kind, the sun was shining brightly outside, and the distinguished guests stood in the courtyard to communicate.

"I can't think of it either."

Fu Bi shook his head, "In my opinion, this case is irrefutable and there is absolutely no possibility of it being reversed."

Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and nodded: "I think so too."

Sima Guang said: "But I talked to Zhang San and he said that although he is not sure of winning, he can definitely win this lawsuit."

"Yeah?"

Fu Bi asked incredulously.

Sima Guang nodded.

Fu Bi was puzzled, "How can we win?"

Sima Guang shook his head: "Then he didn't tell me."

...

"Everyone, we have to keep a closer eye."

Meng Qiansheng said: "If Zhang San wants to win this lawsuit, he will definitely play tricks."

Xie Yun frowned and said: "How can he play tricks in this public trial?"

Meng Qiansheng said: "Have you forgotten how the imperial court protected Governor Zhao before?"

"But Governor Zeng..."

"Zeng Zhifu has never tried anyone from the clan. Can you guarantee that Zeng Zhifu can still be impartial and impartial?"

"That's true."

...

At this time, Zeng Gong was sitting in the hall with his friend Wang Anshi.

"well...!"

Zeng Gong sighed: "Now I gradually understand why Li Tongpan is so afraid of Zhang San. Even before the trial has started, I can feel a lot of pressure."

Wang Anshi nodded and said: "If we can get a verdict, it won't cause any controversy. I'm afraid that brat can really turn the tables. In that case, Brother Zigu will inevitably be criticized."

Zeng Gong said: "But as long as the evidence submitted by the procuratorate is correct, there is absolutely no chance that this case will be overturned."

Wang Anshi said: "Brother Zigu still has to be careful. Although there are rumors that Zhang San did this just to defraud money, but based on my understanding of that kid, if there is really no hope at all, he is unlikely to take this lawsuit.

of."

At this moment, Huang Gui suddenly walked in and said, "Report to the magistrate Zeng that the officials are here."

Zeng Gong and Wang Anshi looked at each other, immediately stood up and walked out.

Zhao Xu's sudden arrival was both reasonable and unexpected!

But one thing is for sure, that is, the ministers are very unhappy with the emperor's arrival. This is a trial for the clan. If you, the emperor, sit here, it is clear that you want to put pressure on the Kaifeng government!

After this ceremony, Pei Wen, the imperial censor, asked, "Why are the officials here?"

Zhao Xu said, "I have nothing to do today. Can't I come over and take a look?"

Pei Wen said in a respectful tone: "Guan family, this case involves the clan. If the officials sit here, I'm afraid it will put pressure on Kaifeng Mansion."

Fu Bi and the others remained silent, obviously supporting Pei Wen's statement.

Want to drive me away? Zhao Xu immediately became angry and said angrily: "You can come, but I can't come?"

The implication is that if you sit here, won't you put pressure on Zhang San?

Pei Wen bowed his hands and said, "The official forgives me, I...I am just afraid that it will affect judicial justice."

This is obviously an insinuation.

Zhao Xu was too lazy to argue with these censors, and turned to look at Zeng Gong, "Prefect Zeng, if I am here, will it affect your review?"

Zeng Gong cupped his hands and said: "Please rest assured, officials, I will deal with it impartially. Even if the other party is a clan member, I will never tolerate it as long as it breaks the law."

Zhao Xu nodded awkwardly.

Are there no friendly forces here?

The ministers felt relieved when they heard Zeng Gong's words.

By criticizing the emperor like this, they are actually trying to cheer Zeng Gong up. Don't panic, we are here to support you, and the emperor cannot act arbitrarily.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

Wang Anshi quickly came out to smooth things over and asked, "When will the court begin?"

Zeng Gong glanced at the sky and said, "It should be soon."

Huang Gui next to him said: "Zhang San hasn't arrived yet?"

Zeng Gong frowned and said, "Not here yet?"

Li Kai sighed: "Zeng Zhifu didn't know something. Zhang San is always the last one to arrive."

Not to mention he was used to it, even Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo said they were used to it.

But Zeng Gong was not used to it. You little ear pen asked me to wait for you. What were you thinking? He waved his hand and said: "I won't wait for him anymore. Get ready to start the class."
