Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 85
Lin Fei left, but he left Bianjing with a feather!
The Kaifeng Mansion didn't care about that much, it just closed its doors and went out of business. Originally, half a month ago, the lawsuit should have stopped, and it was all due to Zhang Fei's blessing that it was delayed until today.

Fortunately, a heavy snowfall covered the chicken feathers.

on vacation!
Let's talk about it next year!
However, the young little emperor still took advantage of the eunuch's mouth to complain about the imperial censor.

Take a look at what you guys did?
I didn't know anything, so I was shocked.

I am embarrassed for you.

But in the face of the emperor's complaints, the censors said that we will do this again next time.

Although Kaifeng Mansion was closed at this time, Zhang Fei went to work.

He will formally take over the Fan Family Bookstore today.

In fact, this timing is just right, the government office is on holiday, there is not much work to do, and it is just time to tidy up the interior.

In the morning, Zhang Fei came to Xu's mansion wearing a thick cloak, and happened to meet Xu Zun who was at home on vacation.

"Is there something wrong with you coming so early?" Xu Zun asked curiously.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I'm here to wait for Mrs. Xu to go to Fan's Bookstore together."

Xu Zun also knew about Xu Zhiqian's joining Fan's Bookstore, but he was actually a little unwilling, because now he was more worried about Xu Zhiqian's marriage.

But he didn't object, and he didn't like interfering in the lives of his children. As long as he didn't make mistakes in principle, he was very relieved about the children, because he had established their awareness of right and wrong since he was a child, and waved to Zhang Fei: "Don't go in a hurry, I happen to have something to talk to you about."

"Yes." Zhang Fei entered the room, sat down, and asked, "What do you want to order?"

Xu Zundao: "Recently, many ministers have presented to the imperial court, praising you for your proficiency in the law and outstanding intelligence. They hope that the imperial court will recruit you as an official."

"what?"

Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "Really?"

Xu Zundao: "The old man will still lie to you."

Compared with Li Si's case, the situation this time is quite different. Not only did the officials not stumbling and shouting at Zhang Fei secretly, but they also praised Zhang Fei's outstanding ability, and even invited the emperor to recruit him. Zhang Fei entered the court as an official.

Zhang Fei wondered: "Why?"

If Xu Zun recommended him, then he would understand, but he said that other ministers recommended him...

This can only be a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken!

Xu Zun smiled wryly and said, "They didn't succeed in besieging you like that. Instead, they made you go to a higher level, so..."

Although he didn't finish it, it was self-evident.

They just regarded Zhang Fei as the Song Jiang of the legal and political circles.

This is Zhao'an!

In the Song Dynasty, there was an awesome way to become an official, and that was rebellion.

As long as you can repel the imperial court's encirclement several times like Song Jiang, the imperial court will choose Zhao'an.

The ministers of the Song Dynasty all had extremely high financial thinking. Once the siege, the expenditure spent by the court was enough to support them for several lifetimes. Why not directly issue an order to save money and effort, and less deaths.

Besides, they can repel the imperial court's siege, which proves that these people are capable!
The situation of Zhang Fei is also the same. After this lawsuit, the two empress dowagers can say that they owe him a favor.

However, Zhang Fei also obtained the Fan Family Bookstore, which gave them greater litigation rights, and they were also afraid of being entangled by Zhang Fei.

After much deliberation, he simply used this case to praise Zhang Fei to death, and took the opportunity to call him into the court, so our family would naturally be able to talk!
At least at least there is no need to go to court.

Coincidentally, the emperor had this idea for a long time, and has been procrastinating on it. It just so happens that the political reform will start next year, and there is a shortage of talents, so he hurriedly asked Xu Zun to talk to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei said with a sneer: "Actually, it's thanks to benefactor behind me. If it wasn't for that, I would...!"

Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "That depends on your own ability! In fact, I also had this intention a long time ago. If you are willing, I will recommend you to be an official in the court. It should not be a big problem."

Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Zun and hesitated.

He had already thought about this question before, but he thought that the timing of becoming an official was too bad. Wang Anshi's reform was imminent, and the court would be split. At present, Wang Anshi is very popular. If you mix with Wang Anshi, you win in the present and lose in the future. If you mix with Sima Guang, although you can win in the future, whether you can survive the present is also a question.

He has no way to turn the tide now.

Before he made a good plan, he didn't want to be an official.

"It's such a good thing, why are you still hesitating?"

Hearing an anxious voice, Xu Zhiqian walked in wearing a green cloak.

Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Zhiqian, and said, "I'm about to go to the bookstore to flex my muscles."

Xu Zhiqian was speechless for a while: "I told you before that those people in the bookstore are all clerks who have no chance to become officials. If they could become officials, how could they go to the bookstore?"

These two professions are really incomparable. In the Song Dynasty, one could become an official without a scientific examination. It was really smoking from the ancestral grave. Besides, with the support of the emperor, after entering, it must not be a idle job, so Xu Zhiqian really didn't know Zhang Fei still hesitated.

Xu Zun felt very curious, "Aren't you willing to be an official?"

Zhang Fei was startled, and hurriedly said: "Of course I am willing, who would not want to be an official!"

Xu Zun asked again: "Then why are you hesitant?"

Zhang Fei was silent for a while, and suddenly asked: "Grandfather, after the Ayun case, aren't you going to amend the loopholes in the law?"

Xu Zun nodded, but he was even more curious about what happened.

Zhang Fei said: "Is there any result?"

Xu Zun stroked his beard in embarrassment, "Amendment of the law is not a small matter, it can be done overnight!"

As he spoke, he asked curiously, "What does this have to do with this matter?"

Xu Zhiqian also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.

Zhang Fei said: "Because I know that it is very difficult to do something in the government. If the benefactor is like this, I don't need to talk about it. I don't think I can do anything now that I am an official. Inaction will kill me." My ambition. In comparison, I can do what I want in a bookstore.”

Xu Zhiqian said: "But if you do a hundred things in the bookstore, it is not as good as you do one thing for the people in the court."

"who said it!"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I can also do things for the court and the people in the bookstore, and I can gain both fame and fortune."

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Fei pretended to be profound and said: "You will know when you go to the bookstore later."

Xu Zun pondered a little, and said: "You have no fame, this is a rare opportunity for you, once you miss it, you may not have it again."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I know, but I've thought it through very clearly."

"Okay then! Just think about it yourself."

"Thank you for your understanding."

on the carriage.

"You really shouldn't refuse immediately, this is a very rare opportunity."

Xu Zhiqian still didn't seem to understand this.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If I can create the first opportunity, I can create the second one. At present, my mind is on the bookstore."

Xu Zhiqian said: "The bookstore is just a lawsuit, so what can you think about it?"

Zhang Fei said: "You will know later."

The two arrived at the Fan Family Bookstore in a carriage, and as soon as they got off the carriage, Fan Li came out to welcome him, "Sanlang, you are here, the horsemen, Fan Yuanwai, and Chen Yuanwai have been waiting for a long time."

Zhang Fei said: "What are they doing here?"

Fan Li said: "I'm here to congratulate you, they know that you will officially host the bookstore today."

After this case, Fan Li really admired Zhang Fei, and his tone was quite respectful.

Zhang Fei nodded, and said again: "Please tell the staff not to leave the store. After I entertain them, let's hold a meeting to discuss what to do next year."

"I have already ordered it." Fan Li said excitedly.

When I came to the back hall, I saw three rich men, Ma Tianhao, Fan Yong, and Chen Maoqian sitting in the hall. There was a big brazier in the middle with fine wine on the side. Drinking fine wine.

"Huh? Aren't you here to congratulate me?"

Zhang Fei looked at them and said.

Ma Tianhao said: "What are you congratulating, we are here to send money, let's quickly draw up our contract."

As he spoke, he pointed his thumb back.

I saw ten large boxes behind him.

Fan Li's eyes glowed.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei chose himself.

Chen Maoqian and Fan Yong were silent.

In fact, they came to congratulate, but the three of them thought about it, Zhang Fei was too bad, but there was no way, this kind of cooperation had never happened before, so they could only find Zhang Fei.

But Zhang Fei's prestige must be suppressed, otherwise, this kid will not be able to go to heaven, and he will always be in his hands from now on.

Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Everyone seems to be a little dissatisfied with this?"

Chen Maoqian shook his head and said, "It's really too expensive, and I won't dare to come to you next time."

This made Fan Li feel uncomfortable. Although he was happy, he felt that this was a bit too cruel. An ordinary business cooperation contract was worth hundreds of coins.

"I do not believe."

Zhang Fei said hehe: "Next time you have to come to me, because it's worth the money."

Fan Yong said: "No matter how valuable it is, it can't be worth so much money."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you, let's talk about the facts!"

Zhang Fei stretched his hand to the side, and Li Si hurriedly handed over a copy, but Zhang Fei didn't show any courtesy to them. Now that he is also a boss, he directly threw the copy beside Ma Tianhao.

"See for yourself!"

After speaking, he, Xu Zhiqian and Fan Li came to the front seat and sat down.

Isn't it just a cooperation contract, no matter how well drafted it is, what can it do, and without the imperial court's endorsement, what is there to be arrogant about?

Ma Tianhao glanced at Zhang Fei, picked up the copy, and read: "Share system?"
