In fact, Su Che had anticipated this day ever since the gentry decided to unite to boycott the Green Crops Law.
As Cai Jing said, if there were no public prosecutors, those squires would not dare to be so reckless, because no matter how you talk about your benevolence and justice, everyone knows that what you do is aimed at the Green Seeding Law.
The Green Seed Method is to amass money and cut off people's financial paths, which is like killing their parents!
The key point is that the Green Crops Law was enacted because the reformists gained power!
Does Wang Anshi not want face?
Does Zhao Xu not want face?
In the past, this would definitely not have worked.
But now that the Public Security Bureau is here, if we look at this matter from a judicial perspective, it is very beneficial to the squire.
After all, they still stand on the moral high ground.
In addition, conservatives have always boasted that judicial reform can limit the New Deal.
It's a mule or a horse, so it has to be pulled out for a ride.
See if this is true.
In any case, as long as they go to court, the conservatives will definitely support them fully.
However, Su Zhe was firmly opposed to the Youth Law. It was because of this law that he had a complete breakup with Lu Huiqing and was forced to apply for transfer to the Procuratorate. One can imagine what he came to see Zhang Fei for.
We need to file a lawsuit against the government's ban.
Therefore, when Su Zhe saw Zhang Fei, he immediately asked him if he knew about the ban.
"I heard about it not long ago."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Su Che looked at the changes in Zhang Fei's expression and asked, "What does President Zhang think?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "I don't have much opinion. This is their administrative matter. We can only watch the excitement."
Are you watching the fun? Su Zhe asked in disbelief: "President Zhang thinks the government has this power?"
Zhang Fei pondered for a while, "I am dissatisfied with Mr. Su Xiao. I really don't know much about this, but from a judicial point of view, the patriarchal clan is just a civil contract. The court did not expressly give the clan clan too much power, so of course the government has the power."
To constrain this kind of civil contract."
Su Che didn't seem to agree, "Patriarchal law involves the system of etiquette and law, which is like a government decree that cannot arbitrarily deprive any father-son relationship. There are laws to follow."
Zhang Fei shrugged and said casually: "Maybe."
"Maybe?"
Su Che asked in surprise: "Did President Zhang allow this to happen?"
Seeing Su Zhe being so entangled, Zhang Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Although what Mr. Su Xiao said is reasonable, it is not an obvious violation of law. It can only be said to be controversial, so it is not within the direct jurisdiction of our imperial court."
, the imperial court directly issued an order saying that the government violated the law."
Su Zhe said: "But our procuratorate can file a lawsuit. I think it is absolutely unreasonable for the government to do this."
Zhang Fei hesitated a little, "According to the system, if your procuratorate has sufficient evidence, our imperial court will definitely accept it, no matter what you want to prosecute. But as far as personal relations are concerned, I actually do not recommend that Mr. Su Xiao do this
Do."
Su Che asked suspiciously: "Why?"
He knew the relationship between Zhang Fei and Wang Anshi, and he also wanted to test whether Zhang Fei's views on this matter were in favor of the New Deal.
The imperial court’s opinion on this matter is very important!
Zhang Fei coughed slightly and said: "Let's put it this way, if the government hires me to litigate, I may only have a 50% chance of winning against anyone, but if I meet Mr. Su Xiao, I basically have a 90% chance of winning.
"
Su Zhe was dumbfounded when he heard this. You are so insulting, "Does President Zhang look down on Su so much?"
"Mr. Su Xiao misunderstood." Zhang Fei shook his head, and then said: "I heard that Mr. Su Xiao was transferred to the Procuratorate because of the Youth Law, and on many occasions, he made remarks against the Law, and even
article."
Su Che nodded and said, "That's true, but what does this have to do with it?"
Zhang Fei did not answer but asked: "I personally think that the squire's move is against the Youth Law. Does Mr. Su Xiao agree?"
Su Che nodded.
"This is it."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If the procuratorate initiates a lawsuit unilaterally, what Mr. Su Xiao did before will definitely be a point of attack for me. I will link the two things together and accuse Mr. Su Xiao of falsely seeking public benefit for personal gain and using the power of the procuratorate.
, to target one’s political opponents.”
Su Che said excitedly: "I didn't think so."
Zhang Fei said: "But who knows? The right way is to know people, their faces, but not their hearts."
Su Che was stunned and speechless for a moment.
"That's why I must accuse you."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Besides, whether the government has the power to do this may be controversial, but it is also a theoretical dispute. We can only discuss the matter at that time. As long as I can find the controversial point and not be suppressed by you on the scene, then
I can link the motives of the squires with Mr. Su Xiao's previous attitude towards the Qingmiao Law, so as to impress the presiding officer and make the presiding officer believe that your procuratorate is suspected of seeking public benefit for personal gain, and the procuratorate is a government agency.
He represents the court, not the ear pen, and must treat both parties fairly, which is enough for the presiding officer to dismiss the prosecution's lawsuit."
Su Che frowned and pondered for a while, "Perhaps on top of the Qingmiao Law, my proposition will make people doubt whether I am impartial, but if I do nothing, wouldn't it be dereliction of duty? The government has absolutely no right to do so."
Zhang Fei said: "I can't stop Mr. Su Xiao from prosecuting, but I suggest that the procuratorate should be neutral on this matter, because there is no obvious illegal behavior in this matter.
As the parties involved, the squires can certainly litigate, and it is understandable that they want to defend their rights and interests, but the procuratorate still has to follow the system and not be subject to their own subjective interference.
If Mr. Su Xiao must prosecute, he should at least conduct an investigation. Your brother was transferred out of the capital because of lack of evidence collection and investigation. Because the main responsibility of the procuratorate is prosecution, not litigation."
When Su Shi was mentioned, Su Che's expression changed slightly and he thought, yes! My brother was careless and failed to perform his duties, so he filed a lawsuit and failed. I can't make the same mistake.
Thinking of this, he knew that Zhang Fei was not trying to scare him. If he argued with Zhang Fei on this matter, he might really lose, because he had no idea that Zhang Fei would use his previous claims to attack him.
After thinking for a while, he raised his hands with sincerity and said: "Thank you very much, President Zhang, for informing me. Su is very grateful."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I know that Mr. Su Xiao must be thinking about my attitude towards the Qingmiao Law. No matter what my attitude is, it has nothing to do with what I said to Mr. Su Xiao.
Because I know that the squires will definitely file a lawsuit, I just don’t want the procuratorate to be hit by this.”
Su Che asked: "What is President Zhang's attitude towards the Qingmiao Law?"
Zhang Fei chuckled: "I have forced myself to forget my own opinions, because I am now the president of the court, and my authority requires me to be in a neutral position."
Su Che was startled, thought for a while, and suddenly raised his hands and said, "Su is so embarrassed."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Mr. Su Xiao is just not skilled."
Su Che smiled sarcastically.
Su Che finally adopted Zhang Fei's suggestion and did not file a lawsuit rashly. Instead, he went to the government to investigate the matter in person.
However, what Yuan Jiang did also completely angered those squires and landlords.
They began to launch a public opinion offensive.
At present, public opinion is completely in the hands of scholar-officials. They can use articles, debates, and then use young scholars and students to promote them.
For a time, there was an overwhelming amount of negative talk about Qingmiao Law.
Most of these scholar-bureaucrats are conservatives. They originally believed that the purpose of the New Deal was to make money for the country, rather than for the sake of the people. They used this as an excuse to criticize the Qingmiao Law to prove the conservative point of view.
.
Soon, the people sided with the squire.
The common people don't know anything about patriarchal laws, laws, or administrative laws. They only know one thing, that is, the government does not allow low-interest loans to the private sector.
No matter how many explanations there are, that's what it's all about.
Coupled with the official inquiry system of the Song Dynasty, people naturally thought that the government would monopolize interest again.
Good guy!
Is it shameless for your government to amass wealth?
The public opinion was one-sided, especially the villagers, who were very angry about this. Originally, the patriarchal law stipulated this, and they thought that good times were coming, but the government came to do this.
Are sweet dreams about to be shattered?
The government is also trying its best to explain that it does not prohibit low-interest lending, but only prohibits patriarchal regulations on interest. These are two different things.
But the government only spoke a few words.
According to the old system, the government had to rely on the gentry to promote policies. As a result, the gentry now turned against them, and the government was completely crushed in terms of public opinion.
Fuya!
"Bachelor Yuan, what should we do now? Now people are questioning the Qingmiao Law?"
Wei Yingfang pretended to be scared.
My heart is filled with joy, let’s fight! Let’s fight! It’s best if you all die.
Yuan Jiang sneered: "This was all within my expectation, and I also have ways to disgust them."
"What method?"
He Chunlin asked curiously.
At this moment, Zhuo Qun entered the house and "reported to the magistrate, Superintendent Cao and Master Fu asked for an audience."
"What are they doing here?" Wei Yingfang asked in surprise.
Yuan Jiang said: "I invited them here."
After a while, Cao Dongdong and Fu Shichun entered the hall.
"so many people?"
Cao Dongdong was startled when he saw that Cai Yanqing, Wei Yingfang, Cao Yi, He Chunlin, Liu Daxing and others were there.
Fu Shichun bowed his hands.
Only then did Cao Dongdong react, and he quickly raised his fists and saluted.
Yuan Jiang first asked them to sit down, and then asked: "Superintendent Cao, does Master Fu know about the government's order prohibiting interest stipulated in the clan law?"
Cao Dongdong and Fu Shichun nodded at the same time.
Yuan Jiang said: "I hope the police department can assist the government in executing this order."
Cao Dongdong asked in astonishment: "How to execute it?"
Yuan Jiang said: "Deploy additional manpower to the sub-offices near each village and tell them that anyone, even in their own village, who lends money at an interest rate of less than five cents will not be dealt with by any clan. Otherwise, they will be treated as abusers." Arrest them for lynching."
Wei Yingfang and others looked shocked.
They never expected that Yuan Jiang would join forces with the police station.
Cao Dongdong said sarcastically: "Of course our police station has the obligation to assist the transfer department, but if we send more manpower, alas... that wooden shed can't accommodate a few people, and the weather is very cold now."
Yuan Jiang said: "We will allocate funds to you."
"As commanded."
Cao Dongdong immediately cupped his fists and said.
Cai Yanqing looked at Yuan Jiang and then at Cao Dongdong, thinking, you guys still know how to play!
