Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 73: See you later

"Shrimp and pork heart?"

Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang dumbfoundedly, "Scholar Sima, this... is this the name of a dish?"

Sima Guang walked over, although he was smiling, but his sharp eyes seemed to say, you kid, don't pretend to be tender in front of the old man, it's not like we haven't fought before.

Zhang Fei coughed in embarrassment: "Perhaps...maybe Grand Master Sima said he wanted to kill people, that's true, they have already restricted my eligibility for litigation, and they still want to beat me and kill me. It's really murderous!"

Sima Guang said with a chuckle: "He's not calling murder, but committing crimes on his own, so he can't live. Sigh... I have worked with him for so many years, only to realize that his mind is so narrow."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "It's all because of my humble status. If I were a little taller, maybe I wouldn't be like this."

"Haha!"

Sima Guang laughed a few times, noncommittal: "Since you see it so thoroughly, why did you reject Wang Jiefu's kindness?"

Zhang Fei said in astonishment: "Why do you reject the door?"

Sima Guang said: "The old man heard that Wang Jiefu planned to recommend you to be an official, but you rejected him. How many people want to be an official but can't do so. Why don't you cherish such a great opportunity?"

Zhang Fei looked stunned, and sighed half-truthfully: "I have neither fame nor family background. Even if I become an official, I'm afraid I can only run errands for others. It's better to stay in the market and be at ease."

"Free and easy?"

Sima Guang shook his head and said, "You have offended so many people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be at ease!"

Zhang Fei said: "If you enter the officialdom, I'm afraid you will die even worse. Although the stone on the side of the hut is smelly and hard, and you will stumble from time to time, no one will touch it. On the table Even though the porcelain cups are delicate and expensive, they cannot escape the fate of being broken, such as the porcelain cups in Wang Si Nong’s house.”

Sima Guang laughed and nodded again: "Actually, I have the same opinion as you. I also think that the identity of the people of Erbi is more suitable for you now. If you enter the officialdom, it will restrain you instead." Talent is not conducive to your future."

Zhang Fei was a little puzzled and said, "When did Grand Master Sima care about me so much?"

Sima Guang glanced at him, "What? Do you think the old man is the unreasonable person? Or the one with a small belly?"

"Don't dare." Zhang Fei turned around and asked again: "Scholar Sima finally agrees with the verdict of A Yun's case?"

He knew that in history, Sima Guang was deeply concerned about this case.

This is also the grievance between him and Sima Guang.

Sima Guang snorted: "Don't even think about it. In the case of Ah Yun, the old man just lost, but he was not wrong. You also just won, not right."

Zhang Fei clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Master Sima, for your understanding. In fact, I don't want to prove that I am right. I just want to repay the kindness of saving my life."

Sima Guang nodded with a smile, "This old man knows, in fact, after a few recent incidents, this old man also discovered that you are not a bad-hearted kid, and at such a young age, you are able to defy the powerful and dare to serve you well." It's really valuable to fight fairly, and it's no wonder that Xu Zhongtu values ​​you so much."

Is this old fox giving me ecstasy soup? Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I'm really flattered that Master Sima praised me so suddenly!"

Sima Guang said with a chuckle: "It's not wrong to scold you, it's not good to praise you, what do you really want?"

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "That's still a good compliment."

Sima Guang said again: "Actually, regarding Li Siyi's case, and the right to restrict litigation, as well as Wang Wenshan's case, I support you. At the same time, I also hope that you can use your talents to serve more people." Wronged people redress their grievances.”

A look of doubt flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, but he sighed heavily: "I think so too, but I can't even go to class now, so how can I complain for the people."

Sima Guang squinted at him.

Zhang Fei felt a little guilty when he looked at him, "Why is Grand Master Sima looking at me like this?"

Sima Guang said with a chuckle: "Wang Wenshan has already been expelled from the capital, and you still refuse to give up. You came here early in the morning to kick him. Back then, he only restricted your right to litigate, but you got a mortgage , Keeping him awake at night, you would be willing to be so useless, I am afraid that you have already obtained the qualifications for litigation, even if you have not, it is estimated that it will be soon."

Wow... how long has this old fox been watching me. Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Scholar Sima thinks highly of me, I do it for survival, not for fighting spirit."

Sima Guang said: "Okay! This old man will help you fight for the eligibility for this lawsuit. It's just a matter of little effort."

"Ah? Well, you don't get paid for nothing, and I don't dare to bother Sima University with such trivial matters." Zhang Fei laughed.

He wants to vent his anger on his own. If Sima Guang helps, then he will be unhappy. The key point is that he has already obtained the right to sue, so it depends on when he surprises them.

Sima Guang pointed at Zhang Fei, "You boy...!"

He is obviously trying to win me over. What exactly does he want from me? Forget about it, I have nothing to lose anyway, since he wants to win me over, I'll get the benefits first.

Zhang Fei doesn't care about being used by others, because it just proves that he is worth using. He glanced at Sima Guang and sighed: "Even if I want to get back the right to sue, what can I do?" , is also very limited, and may not even be enough to support the family.”

Sima Guang asked: "Then what do you want?"

Zhang Fei said: "In fact, I have always had a bold idea, but I don't dare to do it. If there is the support of Sima University, then Xiaomin will not be afraid."

Sima Guang said: "What do you think?"

Zhang Fei said: "Calculation of taxes."

Sima Guang looked at him suspiciously, "Tax calculation?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Actually, there are only a few criminal cases throughout the year, and they are not likely to endanger national stability. The real cause of disputes is money, and the most important thing is taxes.

I just want to use my understanding of tax laws to help people calculate taxes and give legal guarantees, so that the burden on the people can be reduced. "

He said it very cryptically, but Sima Guang understood it as soon as he heard it. If this plan works, it will reduce the phenomenon of arbitrary tax collection to a certain extent.

It is equivalent to building a wall among the people.

This is wonderful!

It is also in line with Sima Guang's political philosophy.

After thinking for a while, Sima Guang looked up at Zhang Fei in surprise, "Is this what you thought of?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Sima Guang asked again: "How did you think of it?"

To put it into a big way, it is to have the world in your heart, which is better than complaining about the injustices in the world.

Zhang Fei said embarrassingly: "I told you, Sima University, don't laugh at me!"

"Say!"

"The big rich businessmen in this world are basically big landlords. The reason is very simple, because the land can grow food and mulberry trees, and food and cloth are indispensable for everyone's life. In addition , and taxes are also indispensable.”

"I see!"

It was only then that Sima Guang suddenly realized that everyone has to pay taxes. If there is one person who comes out as a guarantee and can succeed, he must be making money like crazy. He suddenly had no doubts, hehe smiled and said: "I don't see that you are pretty good." He has a talent for business."

"Where! Where!" Zhang Fei said with a simple and honest smile, "It's just that Sima University scholar also knows that it's not easy, if...!"

Before he finished speaking, Sima Guang said: "I will definitely support you, I hope this matter can be completed as soon as possible."

The tone is very firm.

Zhang Fei hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you! Thank you!"

But I was muttering in my heart, it seems that he really wants to win me over, is it because of my talent, or my appearance...?

Sima Guang glanced at him, and suddenly asked: "By the way, I have always wanted to ask you about something, but I just didn't find the opportunity."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Scholar Sima has something to say, just tell him."

The tone sounds different.

Sima Guang asked: "How did you convince Wang Jiefu to agree to guarantee the mortgage?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, but he didn't expect Sima Guang to ask this question, and said: "Of course, it is based on emotion and reason. In the case of housing loans, officials benefit, businessmen benefit, and the court also benefits. , Master Wang is for the country and the people, so how can he refuse the door."

Sima Guang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I don't mean pros and cons."

"Who is Sima Grand Master?"

"According to what I know about Wang Jiefu, the first thing he should think of is that the court should do it himself instead of handing over the mortgage to the merchant."

It seems that there is not only naked hatred between colleagues, but also a knowledge that is better than that of a husband and wife.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Scholar Wang has indeed mentioned this matter."

Sima Guang hurriedly asked: "How did you convince him?"

Zhang Fei said truthfully: "I came up with this idea. My request is for businessmen. Although Master Wang is stubborn, he is also reasonable. If he takes my suggestion and refuses to agree to it Conditions, this is not what a gentleman does.”

Sima Guang slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "So that's how it is!"

Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang in surprise, what's so exciting about it.

As everyone knows, Sima Guang has been thinking about this issue all those days. At that time, he thought that Wang Anshi had changed his nature, but after looking at it later, it was not the case. Therefore, he guessed that this idea should not be Wang Anshi himself, it must be Zhang Fei. He was also very curious about how Zhang Fei persuaded Wang Anshi.

He rarely persuaded, after all.

Sima Guang did not notice Zhang Fei's gaze, and asked again: "If you promise Wang Jiefu, maybe he will give you a richer reward?"

Zhang Fei's eyes flashed, and he said: "The reason why I am here today is that I have never done anything that endangered the country or the people. If this matter is handed over to the imperial court, it will be tantamount to competing with the people for their own interests. The interests of the people are the interests of the imperial court, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize it.”

"Well said!"

Sima Guang suddenly became excited, "Wang Jiefu couldn't understand such a simple truth."

Zhang Fei pretended to be ignorant and asked: "How do you say that?"

"He...."

Sima Guang waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with you." Then, he looked at Zhang Fei again, his eyes were full of admiration, and felt that it was too late to see each other, so he raised his hand and patted Zhang Fei's arm lightly, " As long as you remember what you said today, I will definitely support you."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Thank you Sima University."
