Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 181 Do it!

Chapter 181 Do it!

Zhang family.

"King Chang?"

Zhang Fei raised his head slowly, and his eyes shifted from the copy in his hand to Lu Huiqing who was opposite, with a trace of vigilance.

Lu Huiqing nodded calmly and said, "King Chang is a brother of the official family."

"is it?"

Zhang Fei heheed twice, and said very tactfully: "I heard that many people evade taxes nowadays, there should be more than one of them."

He thought to himself that he was already capable of tossing around, but he never thought that this Lu Huiqing would be more vigorous, and he would be a relative of the emperor.

Is it really like the show in the TV series? In the Song Dynasty, whoever didn't hate a relative of the emperor felt ashamed to say that he came from a clean official.

Lu Huiqing said: "You should also know that many relatives of the emperor are also involved in this kind of thing. If someone in the court uses the relatives of the emperor to speak out when the lawsuit is burning, or even create another In the lawsuit, you will become very passive, and maybe it will be nothing in the end, so instead of that, we might as well take the initiative."

Zhang Fei frowned.

Lu Huiqing said again: "And the Wei family is not a famous family after all, but his daughter is the concubine of King Chang, and it's just a bit of a side. It's impossible for the royal family to intervene for such a family. It can arouse the dissatisfaction of ministers, and at the same time, it can block other people's mouths."

Having said that, he paused for a while, and then said: "Furthermore, that Geng Ming is very determined, and he is unlikely to change his mind temporarily."

Zhang Fei groaned to himself and remained silent.

Lu Huiqing glanced at Zhang Fei and said: "Don't panic, my teacher just asked me to come over and discuss with you. If you think it's not possible, I will send someone to inquire again. After all, you are the one who is suing."

Zhang Fei said: "I need to think about this matter."

Lu Huiqing nodded with a smile.

Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "Lv Xiaokan seems to think that I will probably agree?"

Lu Huiqing smiled and said, "Then I didn't think about it that way, I just thought you would be very interested in this lawsuit."

Zhang Fei asked: "How do you say that?"

Lu Huiqing said: "I chose this lawsuit because I was worried that the lawsuit would be too simple to arouse your interest."

Zhang Fei smiled wryly: "Lv Xiaokan really flattered me."

Lu Huiqing chuckled, and said again: "That's fine, after you think about it, tell me again."

Zhang Fei nodded: "Okay."

After sending Lu Huiqing away, Zhang Fei's complexion gradually became serious, and he picked up the documents and looked at them again, "As expected of Lu Huiqing, you have figured out my thoughts."

indeed!

This lawsuit aroused his great interest. Although he also helped Li Si and the Shijia to get ahead, it was all in a roundabout way, and he did not confront those people head-on.

This lawsuit is to confront them directly.

And Zhang Fei has a strong interest in taking this step.

After being outside for so long, I have to go in and try the depth.

If he wanted to help Wang Anshi wholeheartedly, he wouldn't hesitate too long, but he also wanted the support of Zhao Xu and Sima Guang.

This makes him have to be cautious.

In fact, Lu Huiqing also thought carefully, that is, he had always guarded against Zhang Fei.

With our support, you can fight them with a lawsuit, and you can turn around and the same is true.

No one wants to be checked and balanced.

Lu Huiqing hopes to use this lawsuit to make Zhang Fei's position more clear.

It is to fight against those landlords and scholar-bureaucrats.

Because Wang Anshi's new law is mainly to transfer the wealth of these rich people to the national treasury.

In the evening, Zhang Fei took the lawsuit and went to discuss it with Xu Zun and Xu Zhiqian.

"King Chang?"

Xu Zun frowned and said, "It's said that the queen mother's favorite prince is this Prince Chang."

But Xu Zhiqian said: "If the father of King Chang's concubine can be lawless, then what's the use of this law."

Although the relationship between her and Zhang Fei has been confirmed, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. When she saw this, she couldn't stand it.

Xu Zun glanced at Xu Zhiqian, smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Fei: "You still have to decide this matter yourself. If you ask our father and daughter, we will definitely hope to seek justice for Geng Ming."

Xu Zhiqian nodded straightly, and said: "This Wei Yushan is really abominable. It is his fault for not paying taxes, but not only is he not afraid, but he also caused an upright person like Geng Ming to separate his wife and children. .”

Their father and daughter have a virtue, if they don't know, then it's fine, if they know, then they can't bear it, if this lawsuit falls into Xu Zun's hands, he will definitely sue the court.

Of course, they have the confidence to be officials, and at worst they will be demoted.

Everything has two sides. This punishment is not for the scholar-bureaucrats. It has its bad side, but it also has its good side. It all depends on personal morality. Many civil servants with high morals, such as ministers like Bao Zheng, dare to be tough with the royal family. At most, he was demoted to other places to become an official.

Of course, officials like Wang Wenshan, who have done bad things, will be demoted, and may come back in a few years.

It can be seen that the system of the Song Dynasty is inseparable from Confucianism. It is necessary to use morality to restrain ministers and to establish values ​​in order to push this system to the good side.

However, judging from the results, this road is difficult to walk.

In the Renzong Dynasty, a group of civil servants who are as old as the past and the present, such as Fan Zhongyan, who is as white as a jade, is as selfless as Bao Longtu, as decisive as Liu Fubi, and so on.

The generation of Shenzong Dynasty is not bad.

Ran and egg.

Did not toss out a prosperous world.

Of course, Xu Zun's suggestion was purely from the perspective of this case, but he knew that Zhang Fei had another purpose, so he let Zhang Fei make his own decision.

Zhang Fei thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Grandfather, Empress Dowager Gao's favorite prince is Prince Chang, isn't he an official?"

Xu Zun was taken aback for a moment, "It's rumored to be so, but don't make wild guesses about such things. The old man suggests that you focus on the case, which is what you are best at."

Zhang Fei said with a sneer: "I'm just asking casually, I'll think about it myself."

In fact, the main reason why he discussed with Xu Zun's father and daughter was that if something happened to him, Xu Zun would definitely be implicated, and he had to make a deal with their father and daughter. If they all objected, Zhang Fei would definitely have to think about it.

But the attitude of Xu Zun's father and daughter is of course beneficial to Zhang Fei.

They are willing for Zhang Fei to fight this lawsuit, not afraid of getting involved.

So whether to fight or not to fight depends entirely on Zhang Fei.

Three hours.

Zhang Fei sat in the hall, staring at the copywriting on the table, in a daze.

What he mainly considers now is the influence on Zhao Xu and Sima Guang.

But Lu Huiqing is quite right. If this kind of tax evasion is systemic corruption, everyone knows it. Even if it is illegal from a purely legal point of view, it has to be said separately, because the law does not blame the public. Then if an ordinary big landlord is used as a target, many people will not accept it. If they directly target King Chang, the problem will actually be more serious.

Taking Chang Wang's concubine's father as a target obviously leaves more room for relaxation.

It can be seen that Lu Huiqing thought very clearly.

At first glance, it sounds cruel, but when you think about it carefully, this is actually a very safe plan.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed in front of him.

Zhang Fei looked up and saw Gao Wenyin walking in with a porcelain bowl.

"Husband, it's already late at night, you should have something to eat before you get busy."

Gao Wenyin put down the fish soup that night, and said to Zhang Fei in a soft voice.

Her voice was very gentle, as if there was a magical power, it was hard to refuse.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Thank you Ma'am."

Gao Wenyin handed over the fish soup with both hands.

"Xiaotao's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Zhang Fei praised after taking a sip.

Gao Wenyin said with a smile: "Since your last time husband, Xiaotao has been working hard to study cooking skills."

"is it?"

"Ah."

Gao Wenyin nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "I didn't expect that."

While eating, he said to Gao Wenyin: "Madam doesn't need to wait for me to fall asleep every day before going to rest. If you are sleepy, go to rest earlier."

Although the two did not share the same bed, but Zhang Fei did not sleep, Gao Wenyin was determined not to sleep, and was always on standby.

"Then how can it be done? If my husband is hungry, or needs to change the pen and ink, and cannot find someone, it will delay the business." Gao Wenyin said again: "Anyway, I have nothing to do every day, so I can take a rest at noon. , so husband, don't worry about me."

Hearing that her tone was very firm, Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.

Gao Wenyin asked again: "My husband has received another big case?"

Zhang Fei nodded: "It's also the case of Yaqian, but this time the other party has a lot of background."

Gao Wenyin nodded slightly.

Zhang Fei asked: "Madam doesn't seem to be afraid at all?"

Gao Wenyin was stunned for a moment, "It's not my husband, you said it's useless to be afraid?"

Zhang Fei blinked and asked with a smile, "So you're not afraid anymore?"

Gao Wenyin nodded slightly, "I think what your husband said is very reasonable. There are many things that you can't hide if you want to. I have seen many and experienced it myself."

Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly slapped the copywriting, "Madam said so, then do it."

Gao Wenyin looked shocked, "Husband, I..."

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Just kidding, I have already decided before."

"That's fine."

Gao Wenyin patted her chest slightly.

Zhang Fei subconsciously glanced at her, and even shook her head. She couldn't help feeling that she was very familiar with her, and said, "Ma'am, why don't you go back to your room to rest earlier."

Gao Wenyin said: "It's okay, me."

"I mean, you're going to interfere with my work if you're sitting here."

"Oh well."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly left with an empty bowl.

Two days later, Zhang Fei invited Lu Huiqing here.

"Have you decided?"

Lu Huiqing asked with a smile.

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and handed another piece of paper to Lu Huiqing, "I need the evidence on it."

Lu Huiqing took it over, looked at it, and said, "After three years, such detailed accounts are very difficult to obtain!"

Zhang Fei said: "But this kind of property dispute lawsuit is useless to rely on words alone, it needs sufficient evidence."

Lu Huiqing looked again and said, "I'll try my best to find out for you, but I may not be able to find all of them."

"I'm sorry!" Zhang Fei cupped his hands, and said again: "Also, I won't come forward at first, and Geng Ming will sue directly."

Lu Huiqing asked, "Why?"

Zhang Fei said: "If I came forward at the beginning, then Wang Hong would know that I was here for revenge, and they would definitely be prepared, and they might not achieve the effect I wanted. Anyway, there are people on our side, so let's go first." Let them fight among the officials."

Lu Huiqing pondered for a while and said, "Then when do you plan to intervene?"

Zhang Fei said: "When the Sili Yuan sued the Kaifeng County Government."

Lu Huiqing had a question mark on her face, "How does the Si Li Yuan sue the Kaifeng County Government?"

Zhang Fei asked back: "Can't you sue?"

Lu Huiqing shook her head: "It's not that I can't, but if there is a conflict between the yamen, it should be an appeal to the superior, not a lawsuit."

Zhang Fei said: "Since you didn't say you can't, then you can!"

Lu Huiqing was immediately dumbfounded.

Can this be done?

It's true that there is no rule, but no one has ever done it like this!
