Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 174: Changes

Because the ear pens of the firm have to go to the suburbs to distribute small business cards, the store is severely understaffed, so Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian have been working in the law firm from nine to five these days.

Zhang Fei finished the work at hand, stretched his waist, thought to himself, I feel like I used to be a junior in the company, doing all the trivial things, really boring. Then she turned her head to look at Xu Zhiqian who was sitting on the side, writing the paper briskly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and softly called: "Zhiqian."

"Huh?"

Xu Zhiqian just responded softly without raising her head.

She has gotten used to the title.

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "I seem to be very happy these few days."

Xu Zhiqian then looked up at him, pursed her lower lip, "No!"

"Really not?"

Zhang Fei picked up the chair under his buttocks and sat next to Xu Zhiqian.

"There was none."

Xu Zhiqian glanced at him vigilantly, "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Fei rested his chin on one hand, leaned sideways on the eucalyptus, and said with a smile: "Do you think being my wife is so happy, you can do what you like without any burden."

Xu Zhiqian seemed to be thinking about it, her cheeks were dizzy, and she spat: "Who is your wife, don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Fei snorted, "If you dare to talk to your husband like that, be careful, I'll divorce you."

"How dare you!"

As soon as the words came out, Xu Zhiqian immediately realized, "Do you have a marriage contract?"

Zhang Fei said: "According to the law of our dynasty, the dowry can be used as evidence."

He glanced at the jade hairpin on Xu Zhiqian's head.

Xu Zhiqian glanced at him shyly, then turned her eyes suddenly, and said: "But according to the etiquette of my dynasty, marriage is a major event, and the words of the matchmaker are required, and the order of the parents is the order. The dowry must be accepted by the parents to prove it." , the children take it, but it doesn’t count.”

"Really?" Zhang Fei asked suspiciously, "I've never been married, so don't lie to me."

"Of course it's true, I'm..." Xu Zhiqian glared at him, "I've never been married, but folk etiquette is like this."

"Etiquette?" Zhang Fei snorted, "For those of us with ear pens, we should put the law first."

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "Do you still remember why you won the lawsuit for Fang Yun?"

"Filial piety!"

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Fei realized it.

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "You can't win this lawsuit."

Zhang Fei snorted and said, "Is there still a need for a lawsuit? My benefactor is determined not to refuse my dowry. All right, this jade hairpin will be a token of love between the two of us. We will make another dowry."

Thinking of Xu Zun, Xu Zhiqian lost all confidence, "I won't talk to you anymore, just sit over and don't disturb my work."

"Don't!"

Zhang Fei said: "Those trivial things really bore me to death."

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "Who asked you to send them all out." Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something, "That's right! You said last time that you would recruit a group of talents to help the office, and why not?" If you don't give money, who the **** are they?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "I don't think he is an official, but a Jinshi."

Xu Zhiqian rolled his eyes at him: "I'm asking you seriously."

Zhang Fei said with a look of injustice: "Am I not serious? But I haven't even touched your little hand yet."

"You... go away!"

Xu Zhiqian was so anxious that she stretched out her hand to push.

Zhang Fei grabbed her little hand and said with a smile: "Okay! The evidence of my dishonesty is in your hands, so hurry up."

"Bah! You apprentice, let go!" Xu Zhiqian said shyly.

Suddenly heard Fan Li said outside the door: "Scholar Sima, please come inside, please come inside."

The two turned their heads to look, and saw Fan Li leading Sima Guang in.

Sima Guang looked at them holding hands, he couldn't help being taken aback, "What are you two doing?"

Xu Zhiqian was taken aback suddenly, and quickly withdrew her hand.

Zhang Fei smiled generously and said, "Scholar Sima, don't get me wrong, Zhiqian and I are already engaged."

Xu Zhiqian blushed and was speechless.

Sima Guang thought so before, and said: "Under the public, even the relationship between husband and wife must be paid attention to."

"Huh?" Zhang Fei looked around subconsciously, "This...is this considered a public?"

Sima Guang also raised his eyes and looked around, "This is not a big audience, is it still a leak in a dark room?"

Xu Zhiqian could not wait to find a crack in the ground to sneak in. Seeing that Zhang Fei was still arguing with Sima Guang, she was so angry that she whispered angrily, "You still talk."

As she spoke, she stepped forward, "My junior, Xu Zhiqian, has seen Uncle Sima."

Sima Guang said: "Qian'er, you come from a scholarly family, so you have to take good care of him."

"Yes." Xu Zhiqian nodded subconsciously, suddenly felt that this was an admission, then lowered her head and said: "Uncle Sima, please sit down, I'll order someone to pour tea."

Speaking of which, it will be a blessing in disguise.

Zhang Fei hurriedly got up and asked Sima Guang to sit down, Fan Li also left very tactfully.

"When will you get married?" Sima Guang asked with a smile.

Zhang Fei said hilariously: "I just got the dowry just now, and the date has not yet been set."

"No wonder Xu Zhongtu has never mentioned it before." Sima Guang said with a chuckle.

Zhang Fei asked: "The Sima University scholar is here, what advice do you have?"

Sima Guang said sternly: "Do you still remember that I told you that we should cultivate talents about the law."

Why don't I remember, I have been thinking about it for a long time. Zhang Fei nodded straightly: "Remember! Remember."

Sima Guangdao: "Now I have invited the officials to expand the enrollment of the Guozijian School of Litigation, and I plan to invite you to be their teacher."

Zhang Fei giggled, "Scholar Sima looks down on me so much!"

Sima Guang laughed and said, "Who dares to look down on you!"

"Where! Where!" Zhang Fei asked modestly: "That's right. Who are those students?"

Sima Guang said: "Some young officials and some Jinshi."

Zhang Fei said: "I don't mind if I don't lie to the Sima University, but the question is, can they convince me? I'm just a person with no fame."

Sima Guang laughed and asked, "Can't your mouth convince them?"

Before chatting for a few words, Fan Li, who had just left, stumbled in again, glanced at Sima Guang, and was a little at a loss.

When Zhang Fei saw it, he said to Sima Guang, "Scholar Sima, I'm sorry."

Sima Guang nodded.

Zhang Fei got up and walked over, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Sanlang, something is wrong!"

Fan Li was trembling all over, and trembling with his mouth, "Just now there was news from the southern suburbs. Early this morning, Kaifeng County suddenly dispatched government officers to arrest all of us."

"What?"

Zhang Fei exclaimed.

It made Sima Guang look back.

Zhang Fei also noticed Sima Guang's gaze, so he asked in a low voice: "What's going on? Why are they arresting people?"

Fan Li said: "They mean that our people hinder the government from calling for taxes."

"That's it?"

"Yeah."

Fan Li nodded, "That's what the person who sent the news said."

Gritting his teeth, Zhang Fei said, "They are simply lawless. Let's go and have a look at the county government."

"Wait a minute, Grand Master Sima is still here." Fan Li hastily stopped him.

Zhang Fei turned his head and glanced at Sima Guang, pondered for a while, and then said to Fan Li: "You should ask the county government first."

Fan Li's heart trembled, and he said anxiously: "What if I get caught too?"

Zhang Fei said unhappily: "The government wants to arrest you, can you hide? We didn't break the law in this matter, what are you afraid of, if you are afraid, take the imperial plaque away."

"Then...that's not necessary." Fan Li suddenly thought that we have the imperial plaque, nodded and said: "Okay. Then... then I will go and have a look first."

"Let's go!"

After Fan Li left, Zhang Fei returned to the hall.

Seeing his expression, Sima Guang asked, "It seems that you are in trouble again."

Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "Does Master Sima know about my firm's tax calculation business?"

Sima Guang nodded and said, "Of course I know."

Zhang Fei said: "Isn't this the imperial court urging the tax payment? I sent people to the suburbs to promote this tax calculation business. As a result, the news just came that Kaifeng County arrested all my people."

Sima Guang asked in surprise, "How is this possible?"

Zhang Fei said: "This should not be fake."

Sima Guang stroked his beard and said, "Tell me carefully."

Zhang Fei hurriedly took out a small business card and handed it to Sima Guang, "It's actually very simple. I just asked them to distribute this small business card. If you need to calculate taxes, you can come to us."

Sima Guang glanced at the small business card, shook his head and said, "If that's the case, Kaifeng County won't arrest people!"

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima, this tax-calculated transaction is something that many people do not want to see."

Sima Guang glanced at him, "I don't know, but based on this alone, Kaifeng County will not arrest people. There must be something unknown."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "It's absolutely impossible. Those people are as cowardly as mice. What can they do? The key is that they have also reported in the past few days. I haven't heard of any special circumstances."

"Really? Then this is strange." Sima Guang stroked his beard, and suddenly opened his eyes, "Could it be..."

Zhang Fei asked: "Could it be what?"

Sima Guang glanced at Zhang Fei and said, "Hurry up to Kaifeng County, maybe they will suffer a lot."

Zhang Fei looked shocked and said: "This is impossible! They are not breaking the law."

Sima Guang said: "A lot of things are not as simple as you think, you should hurry up."

He said that, Zhang Fei can't believe it, he stood up immediately.

"Wait a minute!" Sima Guang stopped him again, "You take the plaque given to you by the official, it's safer."

This made Zhang Fei frightened, and asked, "Scholar Sima, why are you sitting here for such a lawless thing?"

Sima Guang also seemed to have something hard to say, and sighed: "You can rest assured, they will suffer a little flesh and blood at most."

"Not...."

"It's not a big deal, but I may not be able to help you." Sima Guang interrupted him.

You can't even help, isn't that a big deal?

"Grass!" Zhang Fei cursed so much that Sima Guang couldn't understand, and then walked outside quickly.

As soon as he left the hall, Xu Zhiqian walked in: "How could this happen?"

Zhang Fei said: "You look at the shop here, I'll go to the county government." Then he said to Li Si: "Li Si, help me take down the imperial plaque."

"Hey!"

When Xu Zhiqian heard this, she became even more worried, and said, "No, I want to go with you."

Zhang Fei didn't know what was going on, and didn't want her to be in danger, so he said, "You go to your father."

Yes! I can't help much even if I go, I can only ask my father for help in this matter. Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll look for it now."

After Li Si took down the imperial plaque, Zhang Fei immediately drove to the Kaifeng County Government in a carriage.
