Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 248: Operation

As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm, and the success of Baifan Building is inseparable from the efforts of the Fan family and his son.

Although Fan Yong was ready to hand over the power, he couldn't change it. He got up early and went to the restaurant to inspect it, to see how the cleaning was going, to see if the bartender was dressed neatly, and so on.

"Last night, Yanei and Xiaoyi came to look for Hai'er, saying that they were planning to do charity with Zhang Sanlang."

Fan Zheng said as he followed Fan Yong upstairs.

"For charity?" Fan Yong almost stepped on the ground, stopped, looked at his son, and said with a smile: "The two of them do charity?"

Fan Zheng nodded.

Fan Yong smiled, and asked casually: "Are they looking for you to donate some money?"

Fan Zheng nodded first, then said, "More than a little money."

Fan Yong asked: "How much?"

Fan Zhengdao: "They donated 20,000 Guan together with Zhang San."

Fan Yong exclaimed: "Is there so much? Are they rich?"

Fan Zheng said in a low voice: "It is said that in the last lawsuit, they were sitting in the dark and made a lot of money."

Fan Yong nodded, and said again: "We can't donate so much, so you can donate 50 guan, just to make sense of it."

Fan Zhengdao: "They donated more than that."

Fan Yong was shocked again, "More than that? How much is that?"

Fan Zhengdao: "The Ma family and the Cao family will each donate 20 hectares of land."

Fan Yong tilted his head and looked at Fan Zheng in shock.

It is reasonable to donate money to charity, donating land, this sounds tricky!

Fan Zheng said again: "It is said that there is no need to pay taxes."

Fan Yong raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when the shopkeeper suddenly ran up and gasped, "Master, master, just now someone sent a batch of tabloids outside the door, asking if we want it?"

How could Fan Yong be in the mood to talk about these things at this time, he turned his head and stared: "You also come to ask me about such trivial matters?"

The shopkeeper said: "But the content of the tabloid."

Fan Zheng listened, and immediately said: "Bring it to me."

The shopkeeper immediately handed over the tabloid.

After watching it, Fan Zheng looked shocked, "This."

Fan Yong hurriedly asked: "What did you say?"

Fan Zhengdao: "Xu Sishi proposed to take back the privileges of situation households at the Criminal Court."

"Huh?"

Fan Yong couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Early this morning, a group of unknown tabloids suddenly appeared in various tea shops, wine shops, and bun stalls in Bianliang City.

The explosive content quickly aroused heated discussions.

It turned out that the contents of the tabloid actually disclosed the contents of a secret meeting of the Court of Justice.

The content is about how to revise the tenancy contract law, which is actually quite normal, but there is one point that is particularly sensitive, that is, Xu Zun strongly recommends linking local governance with the privileges of status households.

If they dare to use tenants to threaten the court again, they will directly take back their privileges.

And at the meeting, there were heated discussions.

This instantly ignited public opinion.

If you do this, it's tantamount to digging out the roots of civil servants and generals.

Except for monks and Taoists, most of the privileged households are either generals or retired officials, and they are all retired from the imperial court, and many of them are even meritorious for the founding of the country. It can almost be said that the court can take it back at will.

This kind of thing can only be given, not taken back.

Today, Zhang Fei was the same as before, going out with Xu Zhiqian early in the morning to Bianjing Law Firm.

In the carriage, Lawyer Xu asked Zhang Daerbi very "modestly" what to do with this charity.

She also has a rather twisted temper. She has been thinking hard at home for two days, but she can't figure it out. This charity is still divided into operations?

How can it be done?

Today, I have to pester Zhang Fei to find out.

"Donate to R&D?"

Xu Zhiqian said with a look of astonishment.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "A perfect law is better than a thousand lawsuits. A good medicine is better than curing a thousand patients. A well-designed agricultural tool can also help farmers all over the world." .This is the way of perfection.”

Xu Zhiqian thought for a while, "Although what you said is reasonable, it is rare to find good medicine blindly. Maybe you have been busy for a long time and spent a lot of money, but it has no effect. suspicion."

Zhang Fei said: "You are right, so my donation will be divided into two parts. The first is to help those people who are in crisis. Anyway, it is a principle that the emergency is not the poor.

And the second is to donate to some yamen of the imperial court involved in the research and development of weapons, medicine, and agricultural tools. The money is spent on the imperial court. Can the imperial court doubt me? "

Xu Zhiqian was surprised and said, "You still donate to the imperial court?"

Zhang Fei said: "If I don't donate to the imperial court, what can I do to persuade Wang Dashi."

Xu Zhiqian murmured: "The money donated to the imperial court may not be used for research and development as you said, and it may be spent on officials' drinking tables."

Zhang Fei said: "Of course we must try our best to avoid this, the money will not pass through their hands, and will be used directly on those craftsmen."

Xu Zhiqian said: "How is this possible?"

Zhang Fei said: "This is what we need to discuss with the imperial court. This matter is not as simple as you imagine."

Xu Zhiqian fell silent.

This is something she hadn't thought about at all, and she even wondered, is this doing charity?

The key point is that she is not very interested in this kind of donation.

Her charity is the kind that helps the weak.

When I came to Bianjing Law Firm, as soon as I got off the carriage, Fan Li came out in a hurry, "Sanlang, Mrs. Xu, you are here, something is wrong."

Everyone in Zhang Fei was dumbfounded, "What's wrong?"

Fan Li shook out a tabloid, "Look quickly, this is the tabloid I wanted to come from the tea shop next door."

Zhang Fei took a look, and exclaimed: "Father-in-law."

When Xu Zhiqian heard it, she stretched out her hand to grab it, and after seeing it, she couldn't help but turned pale with fright.

Fan Li asked: "Is this true?"

Zhang Fei scolded angrily: "Of course this is false. This is a meeting of the Criminal Court. How could it be revealed? Is there no one to control this tabloid? It really makes no sense."

Sweat dripped from Xu Zhiqian's forehead, and she asked in panic, "What if it's true?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, "Impossible! Do you think this is like what my father-in-law said?"

Xu Zhiqian remained silent.

Zhang Fei asked Fan Li again: "How many people have read this tabloid so far?"

Fan Li said: "The whole city has spread the word."

Zhang Fei said: "Then what do you think?"

Fan Li said in a low voice: "Does it need to be said, those common people don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, of course they applaud it, but anyone with some status will curse and be very angry."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Zhang San, we have to go back immediately."

I was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, so I am quite clear about this kind of thing.

Zhang Fei nodded, and then said to Fan Li: "Look at the shop first, I'll go back and deal with something."

Fan Li nodded and said, "Hurry up and go."

The court of justice.

"Xu Zhongtu, Xu Zhongtu!"

I saw Gu Ji and a group of old ministers rushing to the trial court aggressively.

Sima Guang, who was having a meeting with everyone, couldn't help being "surprised" when he saw them coming.

"What are you doing?" Sima Guang asked with deep eyebrows.

"You are all here, that would be the best."

Gu Ji patted a tabloid on the table, "Is this what you said?"

Sima Guang picked it up and took a look, surprised: "Who spread this."

Gu Ji immediately said: "It seems that Xu Zhongtu really said that."

Xu Zun's acting skills are naturally unquestionable by his mother, so he asked in a daze, "What is it?"

Liu Shu, Qi Hui and others also stood up one after another, came to Sima Guang's side, turned their heads to look, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.

Xu Zun also hurriedly got up and came over, "Scholar Sima, can you let me have a look."

Sima Guang handed the tabloid to Xu Zun.

After Xu Zun finished reading it, his face was full of anger, and he glared at Liu Shu, Qi Hui and others, "You are so despicable, you actually hurt me like this."

Liu Shu said with an innocent face: "It's not what I said."

"Who would have said that." Xu Zun said angrily, "We were the only ones there at the time, so I couldn't have said it myself."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, all of them looked wronged.

Gu Ji rushed forward, "Xu Zhongtu, do you admit that you said that?"

Xu Zundao: "That's not what I said. It's obviously embellishment. Bachelor Sima, you have to say something fair for me."

Sima Guang hurriedly stood up, and said to Gu Ji and others: "Everyone, please be calm and listen to my explanation. At that time, we were having a meeting to discuss the amendment of the tenancy contract law. Liu Langzhong considered that it would be harmful to those big landlords It is not fair, if they dismiss the tenants because of this, it may cause turmoil, so Xu Sishi casually suggested that local security and the privileges of the big landlords should be discussed together.”

Gu Ji said excitedly: "That's what I said."

Xu Zun wanted to cry without tears and said: "At that time, there was a meeting to discuss what to do. I just said that casually. Later, everyone objected, so I didn't say anything else."

Liu Shu and Qi Hui both nodded.

This is really too much, and the key point is that it has a nose and eyes, but Xu Zun really just mentioned one thing.

Sima Guang nodded and said: "Xu Si's matter was really just mentioned casually, and he didn't insist at all. We didn't discuss it very intensely, and we didn't even discuss it much. This tabloid is pure nonsense."

My heart is also guilty, is this really what Zhang San did? That kid is too cruel, to treat his father-in-law like this.

An old doctor sneered and said: "Who knows what you are planning, you wait, I must go to the official's place and read a book for you."

After finishing speaking, he waved his big sleeves and left angrily.

Gu Ji and the others also turned and left one after another.

In their view, this is simply adding insult to injury and is extremely shameless.

Xu Zun also excitedly said: "You guys are doing this, okay, don't look for me in future meetings."

He also left angrily.

Sima Guang glanced over, "I must find out who did this."

"Despicable!"

Wang Anshi squeezed the tabloid into a ball, "I never thought they would use this method to deal with Xu Zhongtu."

Lu Huiqing said: "Teacher, this is an excellent opportunity for us. The trial court must be in chaos now. If we stand up to support Xu Zhongtu's statement, then everyone will pay for it." At the same time, Xu Zhongtu's statement is also what the mentor thinks."

Wang Anshi shook his head and said, "No, this will harm Xu Zhongtu, and the officials will not agree."

Lu Huiqing sighed secretly, and did not continue to persuade.

Kaifeng Prefecture.

"I'll tell you the truth, some time ago, I was thinking about when to transfer, but now I really want to leave, I really don't want to part with it!"

Lu Gong sat on the courtroom, gently touching the table with his hands, looking around, with a little bit of reluctance in his eyes.

Before the words were finished, Huang Gui hurried into the hall, "Prefect Lu, something happened, something happened."

Lu Gong wrote and asked: "What's the big deal?"

Huang Gui hurriedly passed a tabloid, "This is the tabloid that was uploaded this morning."

Grand Lu took it over and took a look, his face was startled, and he looked up, suddenly, it seemed that there was a boy in a green coat and a cap with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks standing in the hall, and he was about to put the tabloid on the table, "Boss Huang, please trouble me." Help me clean up, I have to rush to the third division to take up my post."
