According to government rules, litigating a lawsuit requires a lot of procedures.
The first procedure is to issue an announcement.
The so-called "releasing notices" means that the government stipulates the time for collecting writ papers every month, such as collecting writ papers on the fifth or tenth day of each month, instead of collecting them every day. Otherwise, officials will not have to do anything every day.
Just wait to receive the petition and file a lawsuit.
Of course, there are exceptions. Some vicious criminal cases, such as murder and arson, are not subject to the restriction on prosecution and can be filed at any time.
The second procedure is called registration.
The so-called "registration" means that the government has accepted the petitions from the people. What needs to be made clear is that the government does not accept everyone's petitions. For example, cases such as brothers dividing property, couples getting divorced, conflicts between neighbors, etc.
The government basically doesn't accept it, and most of it is left to the clan leader or Li Zheng to handle it.
Firstly, most of these cases involve wrangling, and the government does not have so much energy to deal with these cases. Secondly, the government also uses this method to suppress people from filing complaints, because there are more cases in a place, which means that the folk customs in that place are poor.
, as the chief officer of Mu Shou, it is natural that he cannot escape the blame!
As long as the government accepts the petition, it will be considered successful.
Next, is the third procedure: dispatch.
The so-called "mission" means that the government sends agents to arrest and summon plaintiffs, defendants, relevant persons, etc., and to collect relevant evidence.
The fourth procedure is called sales difference.
The so-called "cancellation" means that the police officer must collect the relevant witnesses and physical evidence within the time limit specified by the government and cancel the job.
The two procedures of "delivery" and "distribution" are a "good opportunity" for the servants to use their hands to eat the defendant and the plaintiff. They are also their main source of gray income. In order to make more money, they will naturally not do it in a short period of time.
They finish the job within the time limit instead of delaying it deliberately. Only in this way can they maximize their benefits!
The fifth procedure is the interrogation, that is, the relevant persons in the case are called to the lobby for interrogation, and the officials make a judgment.
Generally speaking, these five processes, from filing a petition to going to court, can take as little as a month or as long as a few months. There are some special cases that can drag on for a year or two without going to court. It is possible!
However, this time a miracle happened!
After Xu Shouchun, the prefect of Suzhou, accepted the complaint, he immediately asked the police to bring the summons to the head of the Ax Gang and bring the suspect to the lobby for interrogation!
There are three main reasons why it can be so fast!
First, Uncle Sun was beaten to death in the street by members of the Ax Gang. This was a vicious criminal case and was not subject to the restriction of prosecution!
Secondly, Xu Shouchun himself was a man of integrity and abhorrence of evil. After reading the complaint, he was furious!
Thirdly, this Zhuangzi was written by Yang Dingyuan, and Yang Dingyuan was famous. Even Xu Shouchun would give some face to the Zhuangzi he personally submitted!
...
Ziyuan Tea House.
"Captain Cheng, why are you in such a hurry? Let's take a rest and have a cup of tea. It won't be too late for us to go back!"
Although Ye Rongsheng, the leader of the Ax Gang, was mentally prepared for a lawsuit, he was still surprised when he heard that the head catcher wanted to take him to court!
Because this is too fast!
Speaking of which, he was an old acquaintance with Cheng Captou, so he enthusiastically stayed with Cheng Captou to drink tea, mainly because he wanted to test his personality.
"I'm sorry, Gang Leader Ye, Master Xu is in such a hurry that I don't have time to drink tea today."
Chief Cheng gestured to the summons in his hand: "Gang Leader Ye, look, this is an urgent summons!" This chapter has been completed!
