Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 179
Back at the Xu Mansion, Zhang Fei informed Xu Zun and his daughter of his plan.

"Ugh."

Xu Zunfu sighed, and said with a sad face: "I can't help you much with this matter!"

He is really not very good at playing this kind of political conspiracy, and he actually doesn't want Zhang Fei to do this in his heart.

Xu Zhiqian knew what Xu Zun was worried about, so she took the initiative to say to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, this is not a case that has already happened, but you are required to plan it. There must be loopholes. If there is a flaw, then it will be dangerous."

Xu Zun nodded calmly.

It is not illegal to win the lawsuit. Xu Zun can save Zhang Fei's life without any worries, but with this method, once the other party catches him, Xu Zun will not be able to save Zhang Fei's life either.

Zhang Fei explained: "I didn't plan it, and I don't have the ability. It was Master Wang who planned it. I was only responsible for providing ideas, and the case must have already happened. There is no need to make it up, because now tax evasion This phenomenon can be seen everywhere, but no one has investigated it, as long as it is brought to court, that is what I am good at."

Xu Zundao: "But what you get is pure revenge. I still hope that you can use the law to seek justice. Once you use conspiracy and tricks, the other party will not argue with you in court."

He also agreed with the means. For example, Zhang Fei took revenge on Wang Wenshan. He also supported it at the time, because Zhang Fei achieved his goal through continuous appeals.

Zhang Fei said confidently, "I'm here for justice."

"is it?"

Xu Zun looked at him suspiciously.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "This case must not end with a slap in the face, because it will be difficult for me to go to court to fight the lawsuit, and they will use the slap to deal with me. At that time, they will think, hit me So what about a meal, is it possible that the imperial court will punish officials for a pen?"

Xu Zhiqian nodded lightly, then secretly glanced at Xu Zun.

Zhang Fei added: "From the perspective of this case, the administration is completely above the judiciary, and the magistrates and magistrates are trying to achieve political achievements. That is to say, their political careers will be above the judiciary, and the judiciary cannot play a supervisory role.

If the judiciary and the administration can check and balance each other, in many matters, the prefects and counties will not be able to act arbitrarily for the sake of political achievements.I provoked a struggle between the judiciary and the administration, but this is a struggle that the judiciary urgently needs. If the final end of this struggle is a fair trial, I believe this will give great assistance to the judiciary. "

Xu Zhiqian whispered: "Father, my daughter thinks what Zhang San said is quite reasonable. If the judiciary wants to check and balance the administration, there will inevitably be a struggle."

Xu Zun glanced at Xu Zhiqian, pondered for a while, and finally was moved by Zhang Fei's words, and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

Zhang Fei said: "I hope Engong can provide me with some cases about their tax evasion."

"I'm still nothing."

Xu Zunfu smiled and looked at Xu Zhiqian, "Qian'er can help you solve this matter, and their methods are not very clever."

Xu Zhiqian winked at Zhang Fei triumphantly.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Please help me prepare, I still have to deal with the aftermath."

Xu Zhiqian asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Fei said: "Pay the fine given by the government."

Over there, Wang Anshi also consulted with his confidant general Lu Huiqing.

After hearing this, Lu Huiqing couldn't help being deeply shocked: "This kid is really cruel. The board didn't hit him after all, but he came up with such a vicious revenge plan."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "This plan is just to persuade me to support him, but his ultimate goal is to rely on litigation to get revenge on Wang Hong."

Lu Huiqing nodded slightly.

Wang Anshi asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Huiqing thought for a while, and said: "This will indeed make Sima Junshi feel in a dilemma, but if it succeeds in the end, it will also cause the Supreme Court to intervene in the finances, and when Sima Junshi controls the judiciary, it may also be very difficult for him. We pose a threat."

They are taking the administrative route. The final result of this lawsuit may be that the judiciary plunders administrative power.

Wang Anshi pondered for a while, "You don't agree with this?"

Lu Huiqing thought about it seriously for a long while, but she was really uncertain, the pros and cons are too close, she shook her head and said: "That's not true, although there are disadvantages far away, but the benefits are close at hand, I don't know if my mentor is How did you plan?"

Wang Anshi said: "Sima Junshi's reform of the judiciary must be aimed at targeting my new law. Even if we don't do this, he will still achieve the separation of politics and law. At that time, he can also use the judiciary to restrict my new law. At that time Local landlords and squires will also support him. In this case, why not stumbling him first, at least to make those squires and landlords have a grudge against Sima Guang’s judicial reform.”

Lu Huiqing nodded: "Master thinks more long-term."

Wang Anshi said: "I will leave this matter to you."

"Yes."

Lu Huiqing suddenly remembered something, and said, "That's right! Teacher, that Deng Wan came to me recently and offered me a plan."

Wang Anshi asked, "What is the strategy?"

Lu Huiqing said: "He suggested extending the land deed tax to all contracts. Anyone who wants to obtain protection from the court must purchase the contract from the Municipal Taxation Department, and at the same time stamp the official seal of the Municipal Taxation Department and pay the deed tax."

Wang Anshi nodded slightly: "As for the deed tax, when I discussed the housing loan with Zhang San last time, I thought about it. one time."

Today, Bianjing Law Firm was once again surrounded by onlookers.

Everyone poked their heads one after another and looked inside, only to see some guards guarding the door, and at the same time, many auditors were counting copper coins, and Fan Li nodded and bowed beside him.

How beautiful it was when the government gave the plaque back then, but how embarrassing it is now.

Because today the government came here to collect the fine.

That's it?

Is this the imperial plaque?

I thought how powerful it was.

result.

This time Zhang Fei was really embarrassing by dragging Shenzong along.

Inside the private room.

"Is it worth such a big battle?"

Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang with a depressed face.

Sima Guang smiled wryly and said again and again: "You think I do, but the third division said that it would send people to audit, and many officials in the court are watching this matter, so no matter when they come, they will attract attention."

Zhang Fei smiled coldly.

Sima Guang took a look, "Are you still not convinced?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's not that I can't. I want them to understand that the board doesn't work well for me."

Sima Guang sighed, "It's okay if you refuse to accept this matter, and you can't continue to make trouble, otherwise, no one will be able to protect you."

Zhang Fei smiled smugly, his eyes seemed to be dodging a little.

Sima Guang felt something was wrong and asked directly, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Fei struggled for a while, and then told Sima Guang of his plan.

But he did not mention Wang Anshi.

"Are you crazy?"

After hearing this, Sima Guang was furious, and looked nervously at the door, then quickly walked to the door, opened the door, and ordered to his guard: "No one is allowed to come in."

"As ordered."

After closing the door, Sima Guang came to Zhang Fei and asked, "Are you taking revenge on Wang Hong, or Sima Guang on me?"

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima, please calm down and listen to my explanation!"

But before he finished speaking, Sima Guang said: "This matter must not be done like this."

Zhang Fei glanced at him awkwardly, "I've already made up my mind, and I won't give in just now."

"I do not know either.!"

Sima wanted to say that he would not let Zhang Fei succeed, but in the middle of speaking, he suddenly thought of something, "Why do you provoke the relationship between the Si Li Yuan and the county government?"

Zhang Fei remained silent.

Sima Guang said again: "How could the Si Liyuan trust your pen? Wang Jiefu. This is Wang Jiefu's idea."

Thinking of Wang Anshi, he was even more furious. This stumbling block made him so fucking insidious.

This will make him very difficult.

Zhang Fei glanced at Sima Guang and thought, this is not what I said, but what you said.

Now that Wang Anshi is involved, the nature is completely different, and Zhang Fei is just a pawn.Sima Guang sat down and said in a persuasive tone, "It's not worth it."

Zhang Fei pondered for a while, and asked, "Why is Master Sima so excited?"

Sima Guang frowned, "What do you think?"

Zhang Fei said: "Scholar Sima believes that doing so will cause more obstacles to judicial reform, and the reason is that it will offend many people."

Sima Guang said: "So you know it!"

Zhang Fei said: "But these people are all illegal."

Sima Guang's expression changed, and he sighed, "It's not as simple as you think."

Zhang Fei said: "I know what Master Sima is worried about. The judicial reform of Master Sima was able to get the approval of the officials and the support of the ministers so quickly. A group of illegal people are kidnapped, so what is the point of judicial reform? Is it just to check and balance the new law?"

Sima Guang frowned and remained silent.

Zhang Fei said: "I decided to do this precisely because of the concerns of Sima University. On the one hand, Sima University depends on them, but on the other hand, their actions conflict with the judiciary. This requires a villain.

And Grand Scholar Wang is the best villain. If they can succeed, then Grand Scholars Sima will be able to sit back and enjoy the benefits. It is because they have not fought against Grand Scholar Wang that they have to pay the taxes they should pay.

If Bachelor Sima did not force them to pay taxes in the future, they would be impeached, so everything would be logical.In addition, Sima University can also use this to supervise financial power, which is the core power of Wang University's new law. "

Sima Guang was silent for a long time, and asked: "Since it is so beneficial to me, why did Wang Jiefu do this?"

Zhang Fei said: "Because the purpose of Grand Master Wang is to make those people pay taxes and fill the national treasury."

Sima Guang snorted: "That is to say, you think that Wang Jiefu is for the country and the people, but I, Sima Guang, are just a little bitch?"

Zhang Fei said: "I don't think that Sima University will refuse."

"You really talk, kid!" Sima Guang heheed twice.

Zhang Fei chuckled, and flickered again in a serious manner, no, he explained: "When the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. It is impossible for the country to blindly collect wealth, but it is also impossible to blindly hide wealth for the people. It takes money to make it work.”

Having said that, he secretly glanced at Sima Guang, seeing that his face was expressionless and silent, so he could only continue talking.

"The world is bustling, and it's all about profit. This is human nature. Of course, the court wants to collect more taxes, and the people naturally want to pay less taxes. This is understandable, but if any party is out of balance, it will cause many problems. , but it is impossible for them to realize themselves.

And this is the meaning of the law. The law can check and balance the two, so that both have gains and losses, so as to achieve a relatively balanced result, in order to truly hide wealth from the people.I have always firmly believed that it is difficult for a wise man to use his wisdom to benefit the world without passing the law.
