"Then, are you just watching my brother go to jail?"

Wang Ruofeng couldn't accept this fact.

Ling Fei complained: "Not really. As you know, the public has always been lenient when it comes to litigation, not only by setting up a separate court body, but also by allowing suspects to hire lawyers to argue for themselves. If you have the heart, why don't you hire a lawyer or two for him?"

"Lawyer, is this okay?" asked Wang Ruofeng.

Ling Fei smiled: "Of course you can." Otherwise, why did the lord make the court independent? Isn't it so that the people of the world can have a place to appeal?"

The parliament is responsible for supervising the officials, the Executive Yuan is responsible for managing local affairs, and the courts are responsible for supervising the implementation of legal provisions.

The three major institutions are not subordinate to each other, nor are they allowed to concurrently serve each other, which is the technique of differentiation and checks and balances adopted by Xiao Feng to absorb the excessive power of the bureaucracy in the past.

Although there were also problems such as procrastination and inefficiency of policies, at least they were able to maintain local tranquility, unlike the Mongols and Song dynasties, which were always mired in large-scale peasant uprisings.

"Well, hopefully it will work out. ”

Wang Ruofeng felt a little relaxed, and he was not very clear about whether the court could handle it impartially.

Ling Fei said again: "Of course, if you don't have a way, I can introduce you to one." ”

"Then please Rep. Ling. Wang Ruofeng pleaded.

No matter how hard Wang Ruofeng tried to save his colleagues, it was finally time for the trial to open the paver murder.

As for how to judge, naturally there is no need to go into detail, and when the results came out, Wang Ruofeng and Luo Min were dumbfounded.

"Why is this different from what you said?" Wang Ruofeng glared at the person in front of him, feeling displeased.

During the trial of this case, he was also watching from the sidelines, and the lawyer in front of him was indeed excellent, but unfortunately, Zhou Peiling and Jose were still found guilty, which made Wang Ruofeng difficult to accept.

Qian Ling shook his head and replied: "You have also seen that the evidence they said all points to the two of them, how can I be good? Although I am a lawyer, I can't change the facts." What's more, the opponent is Song Eun, how can I fight it?"

"Song En, looking at your appearance, it seems that you are quite jealous of this person, who is he?" Luo Min asked.

Qian Ling replied: "Maybe for you, he is just an ordinary person, but among our lawyers, this person is a legend!"

"Oh, tell me about it?"

Both of them were surprised and looked at Qian Ling together.

"Do you know about the Pucheng murder case?" Qian Ling said.

"The Pucheng Murder Case?" What you said, isn't it the Pucheng Murder Case, which promoted the independence of the court?"

Wang Ruofeng and Luo Min nodded in unison and replied.

This Pucheng murder case was a public case that occurred 20 years ago, and it was also a sensation at the time.

Speaking of this matter, when the local magistrate was trying the case, because he accepted bribes from the local Pu family, in order to rob the other party's wife, he beat the other party to death in the county office.

In a fit of rage, the family members of the parties ran to Chang'an and sued Nazhi County to the court, and what happened after that is well known.

The magistrate of Pucheng was directly dismissed from his official position and sentenced to life imprisonment, and the Pu clan who used to cover the sky in Pucheng was also uprooted, and since then it has decayed and has not recovered.

It is also because of this incident that Xiao Feng separated the criminal law from the government, and forbade any local magistrate or prefecture to interfere in it, so as not to lead to the recurrence of unjust, false and wrongful cases.

Since then, the Red Phoenix Army has completely formed a system of checks and balances among the parliament, the government, and the courts.

Qian Ling nodded and replied, "That's right, that's it." And the one who was willing to help that little scholar was our opponent Song En this time. ”

"Is it him? That's bad. ”

Wang Ruofeng and Luo Min were all shocked, and they were a little afraid.

About these things, they have also learned in the classroom, at the beginning, it was not as good as now, although the Chifeng Army had just entered the Guanzhong, because of the unstable foundation, they still did not dare to do anything to those gentry, and Chang'an City was still in the hands of those big families, otherwise why did the Pu clan dare to do such a thing knowing that the Chifeng Army was still there?

At that time, Song Eun was just a poor student, the kind who ate the last meal but did not have the next.

It was also because he saw the opportunity for change that Song En made a dangerous move, and with the support of Xiao Feng, he completely defeated those gentry and became an opportunity for judicial independence.

Since then, Song has also made a name for himself, becoming the most famous lawyer in Chang'an, and often targeting bureaucrats on the pretext of helping the common people.

Qian Ling replied in annoyance: "That's right. It was also my negligence, I didn't expect this person to intervene in it. ”

With Song En's temperament, it is obvious that this case will be on the side of the weaker, that is, those farmers, as for Zhou Peiling, He Sai and others, they are naturally also classified among the usual gentry, since they have not done anything wrong.

"But we can't just sit back and watch each other succeed. You must know that my two division commanders are innocent, and it is absolutely impossible for them to do such a thing. It must have been the other party who lied and deliberately framed the division commander. Luo Min shouted.

Qian Ling said helplessly: "Maybe what you said is right, but above the court, you can only rely on evidence to speak." According to the explanations of those parties, they also pointed to Zhou Peiling and He Sai, and this cannot be changed. You guys, understand?"

"Could it be that they are lying?"

Luo Min defended: "You must know that it is impossible for the master to lie, it must be those farmers who did it themselves, how can we be blamed?"

"You can just say it in private, but if you are above the court, you can't say that. Qian Ling replied helplessly, taking people's money to help people do things, and he had to do his best for this matter.

On this side, the two were worried about Zhou Peiling's affairs, but on the other side, Zhang Feng, who was Chunhua, looked proud.

"Hmph, can they fight with me like that?" Zhang Feng said with disdain.

Zhang Mo smiled: "That's nature. At the end, he said with a little disgust: "These guys, they know what to say about building roads, and they don't look at how many catties they have, so they say that they want to repair Qin Zhidao." What is the matter of gathering a large number of displaced people into the barren mountains and mountains? In my opinion, it is better to let these guys go to farming. At least we can produce some food. ”

"That's right. ”

Zhang Feng scolded: "Just because these guys messed around, most of the tenants in the clan fled, and a large number of farmland was abandoned, what is the matter?"

That's right, the reason why Zhang Feng designed Zhou Peiling is because Zhou Peiling absorbed too much labor in order to build roads, which led to a lot of reduction in the grain harvest in the fields under his name, where can he bear it?

"By the way, didn't you tell your lord about it, if you continue to let these people do nonsense, then we will be completely finished. Zhang Feng asked.

At the end of the chapter, he replied: "Of course I said it, but it's a pity that the lord didn't say anything, which is really annoying." He sneered a few times, and even came with a bit of mockery, and complained: "In my opinion, the lord is only afraid that he has been lost by the railway, haven't you thought about what it will be like if you continue like this?"

Regarding the construction of railways and roads, there is no one in the DPRK and China, but they are forcibly suppressed by Xiao Feng every time.

After years of accumulation of resentment, many people are also disappointed in Xiao Feng, thinking that it is not a Ming Jun and needs to be replaced by another person.

But Xiao Feng has been in control of the Red Phoenix Army for many years, and with the support of the Kuomintang, he is also immovable.

This gave them a lot of headaches.

"Oh, are you just going to watch it happen?"

Zhang Feng asked, over the years, he has not completely ignored the changes in the outside world, he has always paid attention to Chang'an, and naturally knows the rivalry between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang.

"Of course not. But those railways and roads are all supported by the lord, what do you think is the matter?" Zhang Mo shook his head, and then replied with a little joy: "But it's also thanks to you that this kind of thing happened here, but it gave us a chance to fight back." ”

"Huh, how do you say that?"

"Huh. After this incident, we intend to establish a law that prohibits the use of asphalt. If there is no asphalt, do you think they would still be able to build roads?"

"This, is it feasible?" Zhang Feng asked in a low voice.

He loved and hated this road.

On the one hand, he was angry that he had absorbed too much labor, which caused his tenants to go too much and the harvest to be reduced a lot.

On the other hand, when the road is built, the grain produced in the fields can also be sent to Chang'an faster, which is undoubtedly much more convenient.

Of course, you can't just stop your movements, you should continue to incite the masses and let them attack those road construction teams under the command of the Kuomintang, you know?"

"Well, do you really want to do this?"

Zhang Feng was a little scared, he was not afraid of dealing with Zhou Peiling, but if he faced the entire government, it would be another matter.

At the end of the chapter, he replied: "That's nature. Otherwise, how can you stop the other party? And you have been in Chunhua for a long time, and you may not know the changes in Chang'an City. Do you know that just recently, that Ling Fei actually proposed to abolish the tenant system, don't you say that he wants to directly ask for our lives?"

"Abolish the tenant system?" Ling Fei, how dare he propose this plan?" Zhang Feng was also shocked.

As a large landowner with thousands of acres of fertile land, Zhang Feng certainly couldn't go to the field to cultivate himself, so he had to hire many farmers, otherwise he would not be able to maintain such a large field production.

In order to ensure that there was an adequate labor force, this tenant system was created to restrict the migration and rebellion of farmers.

Legally speaking, once they become tenants, not only do they have no personal freedom, they directly exist like goods, but they also have to serve the landlord all their lives, otherwise where did they get such a huge family business?

"Why not?"

At the end of the chapter, he replied: "Just because of the way the Kuomintang builds bridges and roads, if you don't start with us, that's a strange thing." ”

There was no way, because of the beginning of railway construction and road construction, the number of workers in Chang'an City began to rise explosively, and soon fell into a bottleneck.

Many newly opened factories were even faced with the dilemma of having factories but no workers, and had no choice but to start with the tenant system.

In the final analysis, the battle between the Kuomintang and the Kuomintang is still a competition for labor.

"Don't worry, I'll do it naturally. ”

Zhang Feng hurriedly replied, his former kind-hearted nephew had become like this, which really scared him.

Zhang Mo smiled: "That's good." His expression suddenly became hideous, and he shouted: "As for this national party, sooner or later it will pay the price for their arrogance." ”
