Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 177: Reform

"Scholar Sima, that kid is abominable, why not punish him for ruining his entire family."

After coming out of the hall, Shen Huaixiao quietly suggested to Sima Guang.

The emperor just asked Sima Guang to deal with it, but he didn't say clearly how much he would be fined.

As for Sima Guang's treatment of Zhang Fei, he was in line with his personality, relatively calm, without too much overreaction, and more conservative, unlike Wang Anshi, who spared no effort to publicly support Zhang Fei.

Sima Guang glanced at Shen Huaixiao, and said with a chuckle, "Even if he is punished for ruining his entire family, that plaque cannot be taken away! As long as he has that plaque in his hand, he can appeal. Why do you have to do this to the extreme, and let the officials lose face."

The last part of the sentence is the key point, Shen Huaixiao nodded awkwardly, "Scholar Sima thought carefully."

Actually, he just wanted to drive Zhang Fei into a panic, and it would be best to involve Wang Anshi. Just now Wang Anshi took the initiative to punish Zhang Fei, which made him very disappointed.

However, he really underestimated Wang Anshi, and he still has some concentration.

After he left, Wang Anshi came up quietly, "How much is the fine?"

Sima Guang said: "One thousand guan will always be punished."

Wang Anshi nodded slightly.

Sima Guang glanced at him, "Are you scared?"

Wang Anshi snorted, "What am I afraid of?"

Sima Guang would not let go of such an opportunity to amuse Wang Anshi, "If you are not afraid, why didn't you just say a few words for Zhang San."

Wang Anshi said: "I told you, you are the one who made trouble!"

"You are such a rascal! I won't tell you anymore, I have something to do, let's go first."

Sima Guang gave Wang Anshi a deep look of contempt, and then left.

Wang Anshi sighed for a long time, with a look of worry on his face, he muttered to himself: "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down."

This matter will not scare him, and it is not that he has not seen this method before, but it can be regarded as a warning to him, this matter is by no means so easy!

We still have to take it step by step, we can't act too hastily, because his influence in the court is not strong enough.

......

Sima Guang first ordered Kaifeng County to release the people, and then ordered Bianjing Law Firm to stop all tax calculations and sales except copyright, because the tax calculation of copyright is the cooperation between the municipal tax department and the firm, which is to serve the court. That is of course possible, and the attitude is very clear. It is okay to plan, but it must be to serve the court. You cannot use the premise of harming the interests of the court to seek benefits for yourself, and you will be fined a thousand guan.

This is really a slap, directly slapping Zhang Fei from heaven back to the mortal world.

However, this incident also showed them Zhang Fei's weakness. No matter how eloquent he is, he is still a troublemaker. As long as he finds a way to stop Wang Anshi's mouth, Xu Zhongtu can't support himself alone.

If you hit it, you hit it, so what?

This punishment is undoubtedly a boost to the morale of the imperial court, because in the previous several consecutive lawsuits, the court tried its best, but they were still unable to defeat Zhang Fei in court, which also made their officials lose face , morale was very low.

This time can be regarded as a serious education for Zhang Fei, and it also made them understand that litigation is Zhang Fei's specialty after all, and there is no need to compete with Zhang Fei in court.

Board!

To deal with troublemakers, you should use a board.

There is only one yamen, feel ashamed.

This Yamen is Kaifeng Mansion.

"Prefect Lu, we are really ashamed this time." Li Kai shook his head and sighed.

While looking at the official document, Mr. Lu asked, "How do you say that?"

Li Kaidao: "Look at the magistrate Wang. Let's talk about it after hitting him. What can he do with Zhang San? He can only be punished obediently. We are too kind to him, so he doesn't take us seriously at all. If he dares to file a complaint again, let's call him first."

Mr. Lu glanced at him slightly, "Don't rush to make a judgment, just wait and see. At the beginning, Wang Sinong also beat him, but what happened?"

Li Kai was slightly taken aback: "Does he still dare to make trouble?"

Lu Gong said: "Who knows, at least the officials did not take back the plaque, which proves that they still support him."

Li Kai shook his head and said: "This time I don't believe that he dares to make trouble again. Although the officials did not take back the plaque, they have already ordered him to stop the tax calculation business. It can be seen that the officials are not against him. If you don't believe him, you won't be afraid of death, if this matter continues, the consequences will be something he can afford."

Lu Gong lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.

Indeed!

No matter what, the imperial court issued a decree to punish Bianjing Law Firm. Although it is not fatal, it is also a warning to let Zhang Fei not get entangled in this matter.

After all, this is related to the national plan.

......

Bianjing Law Firm.

This person was released, but he was completely lifeless.

"Is everyone okay?"

Looking at the group of defeated soldiers who could only stand, Zhang Fei asked with guilt.

"No... nothing."

Only Qiu Zhengwen answered.

The rest are silent.

Can they not blame Zhang Fei in their hearts? At the beginning, a lot of words persuaded Zhang Fei that doing so would anger the court, but Zhang Fei said it firmly, and in the end he was not only arrested, but also beaten. Fortunately, it also shifted all the responsibility to us.

Zhang Fei said: "This time I didn't think carefully, and the responsibility is all on me, so I will give each of you 100 yuan for medical expenses, and you will be able to rest at home for a month with pay."

A dry ear pen made my eyes flicker, a... one hundred pens, and a month's paid vacation, then... then I will fight.

Qiu Zhengwen was a little embarrassed, "But third brother, won't the court have to fine us a thousand guan? Do we have so much money?"

Huang Mang and others looked at Qiu Zhengwen nervously, you kid is a traitor, do we runners have to worry about our boss?

We deserve it.

"This amount of money is nothing."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "And I will add this compensation law to your contract. If this kind of thing happens again in the future, we will also compensate you according to the contract."

As soon as Fan Li heard this, he stopped doing it, and said tremblingly: "Sanlang, why do we still do this?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone became nervous.

This money is of course very important, but if you spend it desperately, it will be a waste of money!

Zhang Fei also saw everyone's nervousness, so he said with a smile: "I did this just in case, with this compensation method, maybe everyone can feel at ease."

Fan Li nodded slightly, it turns out that it is okay to appease people's hearts.

Others have no opinion even more, this is a guarantee after all!

Just as he was talking, Li Si came to the back hall, "Third Brother, Grand Master Wang is here."

When everyone heard that Wang Anshi was coming, they felt a little more at ease. Yes, yes, there are people who support us in the court.

Zhang Fei stood up and said, "Go back and rest for a while, and forget about those unpleasant things."

"Yes, then we will go back."

A group of ear pens, supporting each other, limped out of the back hall.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Fei felt nothing but anger.

He can't stop there.

After they left, Zhang Fei invited Wang Anshi to the private room in the backyard.

"You are so reckless this time, and I can't give you much support."

Seeing Zhang Fei, Wang Anshi said with a little guilt.

Actually, he must also target the land reform, but he is completely unprepared now, and it is impossible for him to take this political risk for Zhang Fei.

But he felt a little sorry for Zhang Fei, and at the same time worried that this kid would be impulsive and bad, so after thinking about it, he still decided to talk to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei said with a look of grievance: "If I was really too reckless, Master Wang might not have said these words to me. I just went to provide some help to some farmers, and many officials also I've done this before, and I'm not going to check the taxes of those landlords..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned.

Wang Anshi sighed: "That's true, but the timing you chose is very bad. No one dares to make a fuss about this matter. If something happens, no one can bear the responsibility! So you just Don't make up your mind about this matter, and live a peaceful life for a while."

He also understands Zhang Fei's character, he will repay kindness and revenge, and he is also afraid that Zhang Fei will be impulsive.

There is no way to make sense of this matter, and even the court will not give you, so your methods will not be used.

But after finishing speaking, Wang Anshi saw that Zhang Fei didn't even respond, so he turned his head and saw Zhang Fei frowning, as if his mind was wandering, so he called out, "Zhang San?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Fei woke up with a start, and casually replied: "What does Master Wang say?"

Wang Anshi asked: "What are you thinking?"

Zhang Fei hesitated a little, and said: "I am reflecting on why the imperial court punished me this time?"

Wang Anshi said unhappily: "Don't you understand this? Calling for tax payment is the country's major plan. This is something that cannot be missed. If there is a lawsuit again and tax collection is delayed, no one can afford it."

"No no no!"

Zhang Fei shook his head, "Scholar Wang didn't get the point."

It's such a simple thing, I still can't figure it out? Wang Anshi was angry and funny: "Then you should talk about it."

"Money!"

Zhang Fei said, "Isn't it money after all?"

Wang Anshi wondered, "Isn't that what I meant?"

"But Master Wang didn't get to the point." Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "The most critical mistake I made in this matter was that I helped those farmers calculate taxes, which would cause those government officials not to dare to pay taxes. Collecting taxes, if they dare not collect taxes, the imperial court will not get tax money, and the imperial court’s income will be reduced. If it is serious, it will affect the operation of the entire country, so no one dares to support me.”

Wang Anshi nodded, "That's what happened!"

"Then I can turn over a new leaf!"

Zhang Fei suddenly became excited and said: "I can help the court to collect taxes. I will go with the court and collect money for the court. Isn't that all right?"

Wang Anshi was dumbfounded, "How can you help me with an ear pen?"

Zhang Fei said: "I can sue those big landlords for tax evasion and let them make up the tax. This can generate tax revenue for the court. They can't say that I delay the court's tax collection!"
