Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 227: Show your skills

Since he came to the throne, Zhao Xu has been emphasizing his determination to work hard.

But how determined this determination is, he has not yet shown it.

In fact, he also experienced a period when a newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.

It is Ayun Yian.

At that time, the minister asked him for a holy order, but after he was given the holy order, he was rejected by the minister again.

This is not very harmful to the emperor, but it is extremely insulting.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty also wanted face!

After that, he knew that as the emperor, he should either not make a move, as long as he made a move, no matter how much the price was, he must win it.

Otherwise, the loss outweighs the gain.

Therefore, in many controversies, he hid behind. It was Wang Anshi, Lu Huiqing and others who were charging forward.

Especially after Zhang Fei brought the lawsuit, he handled it with ease.

But it's not enough for the emperor to always hide behind, and he has to stand up.

He hasn't accomplished anything to stand out.

Zhao Xu decided to use this case to establish his prestige, just opposite to the largest interest group in Song Dynasty.

Competition.

Whether it's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out for a walk.

And the other party also understood Zhao Xu's idea, that he wanted to **** them, because the meaning of so many ministers' performances before was already obvious, but you still want to do this.

Idiots know what you want to do.

Today is the fifteenth day, the day of burning incense and worshiping Buddha, many dignitaries came to Xiangguo Temple.

In a relatively remote side room in the temple, there are seven or eight people sitting, all of them are dressed in brocade clothes.

They are all well-known big landlords in Tokyo, the top 50 donors of Xiangguo Temple, and they all have the background of scholar-bureaucrats. If there is no one in the court, it is difficult to get to this level in Tokyo.

"Although the government has issued an order, don't panic, there are still many ministers in the court who support us."

The white-haired old man sitting on the front seat said calmly.

This person's name is Pang Huai, and he is from the mother's side of Empress Liu E of Song Zhenzong.

The Pang family was not actually included among the 100 people Wang Anshi sued, but this is not a matter of 108 people, but a matter of the entire class. , they are very active participants.

They understand very well that if they don't help at this time, it will be their turn next time.

"So what should we do?"

A person on the left asked.

The name of this person is Zhang Zhen, and his grandfather was the commander of the Dianqian Sidu during the Zhenzong period.

"Find a way to win this lawsuit." Pang Huai said: "This is the best response."

The man sitting at the end on the left said: "We are already preparing evidence. In fact, we have always prepared tax bills every year, just in case, but the most important thing is the accounts of the third division. We will definitely ask the Kaifeng government to transfer the accounts of the third department, no matter how well prepared we are, it will not help, because our names are not on the accounts."

The name of this person is Zhou Cai, and he is the only one on the list.

Pang Huai said: "As far as I know, the third department is currently strictly guarding those accounts."

Speaking of this, he whispered again: "What do you think?"

"Can you change those accounts?" Zhang Zhen asked Pang Huai.

Pang Huai caressed his beard and said: "Wang Anshi sued the taxes of the previous two years. We can change them. If you are the prefect of Lu, they can't see it. Are these all newly written?"

"Prefect Lu may not be able to see it."

"Don't think about it too much, don't you know about Lu Zhifu's character?"

"Just set it on fire, there is no proof of death."

"Are you crazy, how many members of your family can fill the fire in the imperial city?"

"That's right, if you set the fire at this time, don't even think about it, we will be found out, and the matter has not reached this point yet!"

Just then, the light suddenly dimmed.

Following that, two more bolts of electric light shot in.

Boom boom.

A burst of thunder sounded.

Zhou Cai's eyes lit up, "Since fire attack is not enough, then we can attack with water."

"Water attack?"

"The new account book can be seen at a glance, but the account book that has been soaked and dried is not so easy to see."

In front of the Buddhist hall.

"It's going to rain!"

Just after incense, Cao Ping, who came out of the lobby, looked up at the cloudy sky, and said to Ma Tianhao beside him: "Fourth brother, let's go sit down first, and go back after the rain stops. "

Ma Tianhao nodded.

The two went to a wing room.

As soon as the front foot entered the door, there was a burst of intensive ticking sound outside.

"It's really dangerous."

Cao Ping let out a sigh of relief.

A young novice made a pot of tea for them, and then they went out of the room.

Cao Ping said to Ma Tianhao: "There seems to be a lot of people here today!"

Ma Tianhao hehe said: "They will never be caught without a fight."

Cao commented: "But I always feel that this is not a good thing. We can't completely rely on them, we still have to find a way out."

When the Cao family held a dowry for the Empress Dowager Cao, they were heavily in debt, and Renzong didn't give rewards, so they had repaid the debt for many years.

It wasn't until Yingzong ascended the throne that the Cao family began to turn losses into profits, and they quickly accumulated wealth during the years when Empress Dowager Cao was in power.

I am afraid to pay off my debts.

And those officials and censors are strictly guarding against foreign relatives.

So Cao Ping secretly put many fields under the name of the Ma family, and then transferred them to Xiangguo Temple.

Ma Tianhao asked: "Brother Cao, what do you think?"

Cao commented: "Dong'er and Xiaoyi went to the law firm that day, you should know about it?"

Ma Tianhao nodded and asked again: "Brother Cao wants to borrow Zhang San to avoid taxes?"

Cao Ping sighed: "Actually, I don't want to do this either, but the attitude of the officials now worries me a lot. It is life and death, we must guard against this move. Since Zhang San said this, he must have a way. After this lawsuit is over, if those people lose, you should go and find out."

Ma Tianhao said: "That kid must have a way, he hinted at this before, but I ignored him."

Cao Ping asked: "Why?"

Ma Tianhao said: "Brother Cao, you haven't dealt with him before, so you don't know what kind of person he is. That kid is harmless to humans and animals, but he is also a cannibal. I earned thousands of dollars here."

Cao commented: "But you also earned a lot with the mortgage."

"That's true." Ma Tianhao chuckled a few times: "I mean, we can ask him for help, but we must also guard against him, especially his backhands. Back then, the mortgage was a one-shot deal." Afterwards, he got a contract on the left and a contract on the right. We don’t want it, but the contract is too expensive. One copy costs hundreds of guan, and in the end he earned thousands of guan from us. "

Cao commented: "In general, you still made money."

Ma Tianhao nodded: "That is, all his promises at the beginning have been fulfilled now, and our Ma's **** shop has indeed improved to a higher level."

"That's it."

Bianjing Law Firm.

"I have found all the evidence you want, including those of the tenant farmers. Don't lose to me."

Wang Anshi pointed to the text gums in those large boxes, and told Zhang Fei.

Actually, Zhang Fei made two-handed preparations. Wang Anshi sent people to investigate the superficial information. As for the shady information, it was the Imperial City Secretary who investigated.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Scholar Wang, there are winners and losers in the lawsuit!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Anshi interrupted him, "This lawsuit is determined not to be lost."

Zhang Fei asked: "If you lose, you, University Scholar Wang!"

Wang Anshi said: "I'm fine. I said at the beginning that the Kaifeng government can grant tax exemption to those tenant farmers. If I lose, I will have a step down."

Zhang Fei asked suspiciously: "If that's the case, why is the Grand Master Wang?"

Wang Anshi said with concern: "I'm worried about you. If they lose, they will definitely fight back. They have nothing to do with me, and they will definitely go to you."

I believe you are evil, worry about me, think I am stupid, if you lose, you will definitely lose more than me. Zhang Fei gave Wang Anshi a look of contempt in his heart, but said: "Scholar Wang, that's not what you said at the time."

Wang Anshi said: "Who knew it would become like this."

"Me."

Zhang Fei scratched his cheeks depressedly, and sighed: "I know, I will definitely do my best and never lose."

Wang Anshi nodded: "You must be careful."

Actually, Wang Anshi didn't mean to scare Zhang Fei, he and Sima Guang meant the same thing, this lawsuit looks simple, but inside it is extremely dangerous.

Because the opponent is really capable of counterattacking, if he is caught by the opponent, he will definitely beat him to death, and he will definitely make an example of others.

Zhang Fei must be that chicken.

Zhang Fei wondered in his heart, I am a professional, and I don't know if it is dangerous or not. The hole has already been dug, so I don't know who will be buried by then.

Wang Anshi is a busy man after all, he hurried away before the rain stopped, and took a bath by the way.

Not long after he left, Fan Li ran in from the outside and patted the water droplets on his body.

Zhang Fei walked over, "Mr. Fan, I will leave the matters in this store to you for now. I have to go back and prepare."

Fan Li groaned: "You should have gone back to prepare a long time ago. At this time, there is no business in the store. I really don't know what you are doing here."

I'm not going to act, you know a hammer! Zhang Fei said unhappily: "This evidence has not been sent, what am I doing at home, wasting energy to have a baby?"

Fan Li smiled awkwardly, and suddenly said: "By the way, I just found out about something outside."

Zhang Fei asked: "What's the matter?"

Fan Li said: "Those people have hired the other seven major bookstores to fight this lawsuit for them."

"Really?"

Zhang Fei was surprised: "Didn't they ask the court officials for help?"

"No!"

Fan Li said: "Fan Sijian and the others have been defeated repeatedly, who would dare to ask them for help, so those people chose to hire the seven major bookstores this time."

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said: "It should be like this. Although those officials are talented and have amazing memory, litigation is a very professional thing. Experience is very important, so you should ask us for ear pens."

As he spoke, he thought again: "Tell me, do I have to tell them to let everyone know that it is better to find an ear pen than an official?"

When Fan Li heard this, he immediately started to go crazy, "I said Saburo, let's talk about winning first, don't play those who have or don't play, they have nothing to do with us, if we lose, they I will definitely come up and step on it."

Zhang Fei pointed to Fan Li, "How many times have I told you that there must be a big chrysanthemum view. It's useless for me to be popular alone. We need to be prosperous in our business."

Fan Li really has the heart to strangle Zhang Fei to death, "I don't care about the big picture, I just know that for us, survival is the most important thing."

"I won't tell you anymore. I'm really playing the piano with the cow. When the rain stops, I'll go back and leave the store to you."

After the rain stopped, Zhang Fei went back with the materials sent by Wang Anshi.

Zhang family, in front of the hut.

Zhang Fei looked at Li Bao speechlessly, "Brother Leopard, can't you send these evidences in another way, but hide them in the dung bucket, how can I do this!"

Li Bao said awkwardly: "Don't blame Sanlang, this is the safest way, because this dung bucket has to be changed every day, and we will not arouse suspicion when we go in and out. After all, there are so many eyeliners in front of your house now. By.

But don't worry Saburo, those buckets containing evidence are all clean, I just put a few buckets of feces beside it to cover up people's eyes and ears. "

"Forget it, next time you have to do it better, don't tarnish the reputation of the Imperial City Division."

"Yes. Next time I will try to find another way."

Not long after the evidence was unloaded, Xu Zhiqian rushed over. Seeing Zhang Fei sitting under a big tree to rest in the cool, she immediately walked over.

"I heard that the evidence has been sent."

"Yeah."

Zhang Fei nodded.

Xu Zhiqian said: "Then you are still sitting here drinking tea, we don't have much time left, so we have to prepare quickly."

Zhang Fei said: "Just wait a day or two."

"Still waiting?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "I'll go and have a look first."

After a while, Xu Zhiqian exclaimed, "Wow, why is it so stinky."

Zhang Fei chuckled, "They told you to wait a day or two, but you didn't listen."

Night.

Imperial City.

Two Imperial Guard soldiers were chatting in front of Duzhi Gate.

"Hey! Who are you betting on?"

"Li Baoguo and the others."

"You don't bet on Zhang San?"

"It's okay for others to bet on Zhang San, but we are really stupid to bet on Zhang San."

"How do you say that?"

"Do we usually stand in front of Du Zhisi's gate?"

"You mean they will!"

"I didn't say anything, but I know that Judge Shen and the others requested this."

"Hey boy! If you didn't tell me earlier, I bet all my spare money on Zhang San."

"Are you all in?"

"A few times before, they said that Zhang San would lose. I believed them, but I lost several times in a row. This time I plan to pay back."

As he was talking, there were a few meows from the roof.

One of them looked back, "These cats are really strange, they go wherever people go."

Suddenly, a line of soldiers came over.

"You two go back and rest, this place is left to us."

The two soldiers looked at each other, thinking in their hearts, does it take so many people to guard the gate?

But they didn't dare to ask more questions, so they left quickly.

After they left, two soldiers were holding their hands in front of the door, and the other four soldiers entered the door immediately.
