Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 148

After learning that the emperor let go, they, the censors and admonishers, were really ecstatic.

This is really a blessing in disguise.

Now it can be done in one battle.

As long as he wins this lawsuit, Wang Anshi's reform will die immediately.

Could there be a better situation than this?

It is precisely because of the huge benefits in it that they feel nervous again.

Because they had already received the news, Wang Anshi must have asked Zhang Fei to help him with the lawsuit.

This is a lesson in wisdom.

Besides, this is no longer a two-for-one situation.

Therefore, this time Liu Shu and the others dared not be careless, nor did they dare to underestimate Zhang Fei. They sent the highest legal think tank in the court to help Qian Yi make suggestions.

They even put down their faces and asked to learn from Zhang Fei and prepare the copywriting for the class.

But Qian Yi is firmly opposed to doing so.

It's all in the head.

Their censors can't play Zhang Fei's tricks.

Who would argue in court and copy books!
He is really not used to this rhythm.

Many censors also felt that if they imitated Zhang Fei, they might also be self-defeating, and they should use what they are good at.

It's really interesting to say that Zhang Fei is also studying their court defense records over there, and these records were all quietly provided to him by Wang Anshi.

At Xu Zun's level, he can only get some criminal cases, many of which cannot be obtained. Only Shenzhi Zhengshi can be transferred from Zhengshitang.

"That's it?"

Zhang Fei threw a copy on the table, pinched the bridge of his nose, "What a waste of time!"

Xu Zhiqian was at a loss and said: "I think what's said above makes sense, if there's something wrong, you can talk about it."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes: "This is unreasonable, you can explain it better than them."

Xu Zhiqian said with shame: "I don't have this ability."

"Don't be humble."

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "Back then when you said 'for my own good', I was speechless, but they didn't have the ability."

Xu Zhiqian's pretty face flushed, and she snorted softly, "Then it's my fault, okay? Of course you are speechless. Hmph!"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Then let me ask you, what if I used the poor to solicit business from the rich, help the rich annex land, and exploit the people? You can find 1 reasons to scold me. I'm mean and shameless, that's all right. But as long as I have a thick skin, none of these ten thousand reasons can constitute evidence that I broke the law, and that's the difference.

Anyone can tell the truth, and I may speak more profoundly than them, but a lawsuit is not about reasoning, but about evidence. If they maintain this level, I can win them in my sleep.

That's fine, don't read it, reading too much of it will only paralyze me and make me complacent, I'd better study the contract of my firm, I still have to earn money to support my family. "

".?"

After discussing with Wang Anshi over there, Zhao Xu decided to appoint Fu Bi as the presiding judge without any surprises.

First of all, they all believed that Fu Bi would have a fair trial and would not favor any side, and both parties would agree.

Secondly, it is also implying Fu Bi, this is what you asked for, so if the other party loses, you have to admit it, otherwise, you, Fu Bi, have to be responsible for it.

In fact, Fu Bi didn't want to mix it up. He was just trying his best to take care of the emotions of all parties and avoid party disputes, but now he has no choice but to agree.

This time the case was also scheduled to be heard in the Political Affairs Hall.

The reason for this arrangement is to emphasize again that this is not a criminal or civil case, but a political event, and the people must not interfere with the imperial court's policies.

"Is that your idea?"

After leaving the main hall, Wang Anshi said to Sima Guang coldly.

Sima Guang smiled and said: "At least my methods are upright, unlike you, who use domineering techniques to deal with those who oppose you. Do you think this can scare anyone, and it will only attract more people. against you."

Wang Anshi said proudly: "Although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go."

Sima Guang looked contemptuously: "Are you going to me? You are killing me. How can you be a sage?"

Wang Anshi also excitedly said: "They make rumors and make troubles and slander me. Can I just bear with it and let them bully me? Is this the way of a saint again?"

Sima Guang said: "You are really a villain who sued first. You asked the government to set up a third division. Have you discussed it with us?"

Wang Anshi asked, "Will you agree?"

Sima Guang said: "This means that you cannot convince the public."

Wang Anshi asked back: "Fan Gong has been flawless all his life, he can't convince the public, how can you and I convince the public?"

Fan Zhongyan and the others are simply the super moderates among the reformists since ancient times.

Ran and egg.

It's not the same as being scolded bloody.

There is no use of kingly eggs, only domineering.

Sima Guang couldn't deny it either, and said: "Nowadays when you compete in the courtroom, you have to obey if you don't accept it, why do you have any complaints?"

Wang Anshi said: "I didn't complain, but I also have something to say first. This is only one time. If you lose, you have to admit it. If you are still entangled, then don't blame me for not being sympathetic."

Sima Guang said: "I still say the same thing. If there is any problem with your new law, I will definitely point it out. But I can also guarantee that I will discuss the matter according to the facts, but I will never use the law of my ancestors. Make a reason."

Wang Anshi wondered: "Why do you think my new law has problems?"

Sima Guang said unhappily: "Based on your Wang Jiefu's arrogant personality, this matter is also a wake-up call for you. Reform is not as easy as you imagined. If you don't think carefully, you will fail."

Wang Anshi didn't take it seriously: "I never thought about how easy the reform is, but... although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go."

That is, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Original bookstore.

"Saburo?"

When Hou Donglai saw Zhang Fei suddenly appearing in the genuine bookstore, it was like seeing a ghost.

"Why are you so surprised?" Zhang Fei asked in surprise.

Hou Donglai hurriedly said: "Listen, I heard...!"

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes: "Let's talk after you smooth out your tongue."

Hou Donglai said: "I, I heard that you have a very important lawsuit to file tomorrow."

Although the imperial court intends to control the criticism, it has all gone to the Kaifeng mansion. Who can hide this matter, it has already spread throughout the capital.

Hou Donglai is from a mixed bookstore, so he is naturally well-informed.

"That's why I'm here today, and I'm sure I won't be free tomorrow."

Zhang Fei responded lightly, and then asked: "How are you preparing?"

"what?"

Hou Donglai seemed to have not recovered, nodded and said: "I am preparing, but the movable type can't be done in a short while."

Zhang Fei said: "I know this, so we recruited more craftsmen, how is the recruitment now?"

Hou Donglai said: "Recruiting people is not so fast, so far we have recruited four."

"Four?"

"That's a lot."

".!"

Zhang Fei said: "Go and find out how much the craftsmen in those small workshops earn in a month, no matter how much, give them double the salary."

"Twice as many?" Hou Donglai asked in surprise.

Zhang Fei said: "I can't wait so long."

Hou Donglai said: "But... But this is a lot of money!"

Zhang Fei said: "As long as the craftsmanship is good, money is not a problem."

Money is not a problem, so Hou Donglai will have no problem.

Zhang Fei took out some contract templates and handed them to Hou Donglai, "Let Master Hong and the others immediately make engravings based on these texts."

In the past, those tea eaters were doing a single business, but the business brought by the tax calculation business was open to everyone. It was impossible to write the contract by hand, and everything had to be regulated.

In the past few days, Zhang Fei talked about the lawsuit after Xu Zun came back at night, and the rest of the time, he was working on the contract text.

Hou Donglai took it over and took a look, and was immediately confused, "What are the dots on it?"

"What dots, dots, it's called punctuation."

Zhang Fei said: "It's used to break sentences, to mark them."

But Hou Donglai said: "It's really necessary to break a sentence, just click it. Why do you click so many? Is your contract calculated according to the number of words? And what are these water marks for?"

"Watermark?"

Zhang Fei was also confused, "What water pattern?"

"Isn't this water pattern?" Hou Donglai pointed at the contract.

Zhang Fei turned his head and looked, "This is called the title of the book. It's a good thing you can figure it out. Let them carve according to it first. If something is wrong, I will deduct their usual money."

"Usual money?"

"Do you know that I may lose thousands of guan with this one word mistake, do you always have a lot?"

"All right. I'll just watch it closely then."

Hou Donglai wiped his sweat and said.

Afterwards, Zhang Fei went to inspect the workshop again, but the problem was still that there was not enough manpower. They had to carve some printing plates for books while making movable type.

Because genuine bookstores have already obtained the copyrights of Su Shi, Yan Jia, and Wang Anshi, they can't wait for movable type to be printed before printing.

Zhang Fei is also very generous, saying that he will give them processing money.

The production industry is different from the service industry. If you want to pursue efficiency and quality, you have to spend a lot of money in it.

If you are willing to pay ten times the salary, 996 will definitely be a blessing, and no one will complain about it, and you will gain as much as you work.

Disregarding the salary and talking about 996, it is really more shameless than hooligans.

Now that the firm has started to make a profit, Zhang Fei is not short of this money for the time being, and he is more pursuing efficiency.

After staying inside for more than an hour, Zhang Fei left in a carriage after arranging the tasks for the next stage.

"Shut up!"

Halfway through the journey, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Only a childish voice was heard, "Are you Zhang San?"

Zhang Fei opened the curtain of the car, and saw a little boy about ten years old standing beside the carriage, asking Li Si.

"I'm Zhang San."

"Oh, an uncle asked me to give it to you."

The little boy handed Zhang Fei a letter.

Zhang Fei took it.

The little boy left.

Zhang Fei took a look at it, his pupils constricted suddenly, and he suddenly cursed: "I'm calling him Ma Le Gobi! These bastards actually used this method."

Seeing that Li Si was full of elegant talk, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart: "Third brother, what happened?"

Zhang Fei raised his head and glanced at Li Si, his brows frowned, "Go to Wang Dashi's mansion."

Long Wu didn't ask any more questions, and directly drove the carriage, and then changed his way to Wang Dashi's mansion.

It was feasible to go halfway, Zhang Fei said again: "Don't go, let's go home first."

Back home, Zhang Fei went directly to Xu's house.

"Didn't you go to the bookstore?"

Seeing Zhang Fei's sudden arrival, Xu Zhiqian couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

Zhang Fei said: "Something happened."

"What's the matter?" Xu Zhiqian said.

Zhang Fei clenched his fists tightly: "They may have kidnapped Fang Yun."
