Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 143

Chapter 143

The planner Tang Jie was not in good health, after all, he was about to reach the age of Ershun, and he went to have a fight with Wang Anshi all day, and when he came home, he was so angry that he was sick in bed.

However, Tang Jie is a well-known direct minister in the court, and some people even praised him as the contemporary Bao Zheng. His character is also impeccable, and he is really highly respected.

He couldn't afford this illness, which aroused the anger of conservatives even more.

The censors and admonishers headed by Liu Qi and Qian Wei frantically impeached Wang Anshi as a traitor.

This is a serious crime.

Zhao Xu didn't expect that Tang Jie would fall ill with anger, but he felt aggrieved, I didn't do anything, the tax law still takes care of you literati, and you are here shouting and killing.

Also really bullying.

Wang Anshi also thought the same way. It was Tang Jie who came to scold me and I argued with him. Can this be my fault?

He was not to be outdone, and he couldn't show weakness, because this was just the beginning, and he had to be strong, so he secretly asked people to play, impeaching Qian Yi for forming a party for selfish purposes, and wanted to kill chickens and monkeys.

Zhao Xu also knew what was going on in his heart, and he couldn't let them be so arrogant, so he immediately decreed that Qian Yi should be demoted from the capital, and go to Jiangzhou to become a small official to accompany Wang Si Nong.

This angered conservatives even more.

The duty of the censor is to speak. Your emperor can't demote people from the capital just because the censor performed his duties. Does it mean that you can only say what you like to hear from now on.

This led to more censors getting involved.

On the one hand, he interceded for Qian Yi, and on the other hand, he continued to impeach Wang Anshi.

But if you look back and think about it, the emperor actually just set up a new department to preside over the new law, but he didn't initiate the reform from Zhongshu in accordance with the usual practice.

But in the end there was also the participation of the Privy Council.

This is actually not a big treason.

However, after a year of probing, many ministers were very opposed to some of Wang Anshi's ideas, even disgusted, causing everyone's brain nerves to be tense all the time, thinking that Wang Anshi would definitely mess up.

Now that the establishment of the Three Divisions and Regulations has been implemented, the conservatives seem to have been poked by a needle. Although the skin has not been broken, they have reacted violently.

This is actually a neurological reflex.

But this also directly led to the rapid intensification of contradictions.

As the new head of Yushitai, Wen Yanbo was in a hurry. He should have stood up and led Yushi, but he also felt that at least he would wait for the new law to come out. It is not reasonable to make trouble now!

But people can't help themselves in the court!

Wen Yanbo hurried to find Sima Guang.

"Junshi, it's impossible to go on like this!"

Wen Yanbo said anxiously.

"I know too."

Sima Guang wanted to cry without tears: "But they did this wrongly. Although the law on royalties has not been published in the Chinese Communist Party, it has been discussed. Your Majesty knows it, and it is for the sake of literati. Not only that, the common people They are all still hoping that Wang Jiefu can reform Yaqian, but Han Xianggong and Fugong are silent!"

"Of course I know that."

Wen Yanbo said: "But we have to find a way to appease them. If this quarrel continues, I'm afraid they will all be demoted to the capital in a short time. If Wang Jiefu's new law is really inappropriate, no one will stand up to oppose it."

It's too hurtful to have already lost soldiers and generals before it even started.

At the same time, it is also hinting at Sima Guang, no matter what, you have to stand up, otherwise, who will support you in the future.

Although Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo are higher than Sima Guang in terms of status and qualifications, they are old and have been idle for a while, and Sima Guang is undoubtedly the next head.

Wen Yanbo also intends to help Sima Guang to the top, after all, Sima Guang shares the same political philosophy as them.

Sima Guang pondered for a while, then sighed: "Then let's compete in the courtroom."

Wen Yanbo asked: "How to compete in court?"

Sima Guang said: "Obviously the officials and Wang Jiefu want to use Qian Yi to scare the chickens and monkeys. It is impossible to keep Qian Yi. If the trouble continues, it will only involve more people. Then Qian Yi is a straight-tempered person, and he refuses to let go of some things." Even if he said it, he couldn’t do it. It’s better to let him resign himself, and then go to Kaifeng Mansion as a commoner to sue Wang Anshi for violating the law of the ancestors.”

Wen Yanbo frowned and said, "Is this possible?"

Sima Guang said: "Zhang San can do it, and of course Qian Yi can do it too. If the court refuses to accept it, then the reason is on our side."

Wen Yanbo asked again: "Can you win?"

Sima Guang shook his head and sighed: "Who can say for sure, but it's better than leaving the capital feeling aggrieved, or continuing to make such a noise."

Wen Yanbo nodded. In the courtroom, no matter what, he was arguing for an argument, so that the court would not be divided. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "How about we ask Zhang San to file this lawsuit?"

Sima Guang frowned, "Zhang San has just received Wang Jiefu's favor, so he may not agree to help us, or I will look for him in person."

Wen Yanbo suddenly remembered that Zhang San was responsible for tax calculation according to the royalty law, how could he help Qian Yi, so he shook his head and said: "Don't go looking for it, Qian Yi's eloquence may not be inferior to Zhang San, but he lacks Litigation experience, but this litigation is about the same as court defense, and Qian Yi himself would probably not be willing to let Zhang San take his place in the lawsuit."

Sima Guang said: "If Duke Wen has no objection, I will ask Liu Shu to talk to Qian Yi and see if he is willing."

Wen Yanbo nodded slightly, "Whether you can win or not is another matter. Even if you lose, it can be regarded as an explanation for everyone, and you can also try your method to see if it works."

Record Lane.

The Bianjing Law Firm, which reopened a few days ago, was so quiet at that time, but at this moment, it is so lively.

Fan Li, who was guarding the counter, saw the crowds of guests in the room, and finally understood Zhang Fei's design concept.

Why change the storefront to be the same as a restaurant.

If it weren't for such a design, how could so many people be seated.

And most of the people sitting here are literati, or sons and buddies of scholar-official families.

They are all here to talk about copyright.

The imperial court takes such good care of us literati, so we can't live up to the imperial court's kindness.

Gentlemen love fortune, in a proper way.

In addition, those big booksellers also smell business opportunities, this is the best time to monopolize, because in this way, small booksellers will definitely not be able to survive.

Especially when they learned that the Yan family had signed an authorization contract with Zhang Fei's bookstore, they also started to act, and they were very experienced. They knew which articles and poems sold well, and they knew how much to spend, so they could persuade The other party, while maximizing their own interests, also took the initiative to ask for authorization.

The two sides hit it off.

But I am not very familiar with this new law, and I don’t know how to make a deed. I have no choice but to come to Bianjing Law Firm to experience the one-stop service of deed making and tax calculation.

At that time, they only need to take the tax bill of Bianjing Law Firm and go to the Municipal Taxation Department to pay the money.

In fact, it’s okay not to pay.

It's just that the imperial court does not give any protection.

Fan Li didn't even bother to greet the guests now, so he just stood on the counter, counting the real money, how cool it was.

Of course, with so much money, he didn't feel at ease handing it over to others.

And Zhang Fei was not idle either, at this time he was entertaining big customers such as Ma Tianhao and Fan Zheng in the backyard.

"Ugh."

Chen Maoqian sighed, and then looked at Ma Tianhao beside him, "Fourth brother, I never imagined that our brothers would also be slaughtered on the chopping block."

Ma Tianhao glanced at Fan Zheng who was at the side, and hummed: "Brother Fan is smarter, let his son be slaughtered."

Fan Zheng sneered and remained silent.

"Hey Hey hey!"

Zhang Fei was speechless: "Don't be like this, it makes me seem to really kill you."

Ma Tianhao said angrily: "Five hundred guan a year? You really can do it! Li Guozhong is still the leader of the line, but their shop is only ten guan for the deed and one yuan."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Outsiders, the money goes to the money, but don't insult me, can you compare Li Guozhong to me?"

Chen Maoqian complained: "But yours is too expensive!"

Zhang Fei said: "This is not a contract fee, but a service fee. As long as you hire our law firm for a long time, we will cover all your contracts, tax calculations, and all legal issues. Five hundred guan is really The price of conscience."

Ma Tianhao snorted, "Then if we don't file a lawsuit, wouldn't it be a loss?"

Zhang Fei said: "Member, please see clearly that the lawsuit is an additional fee, not included in the service fee."

". Another. Another count?"

"Yup!"

"Then what are we spending the money on?"

"Make sure there is no lawsuit."

".?"

Zhang Fei explained: "If you really go to the court, then you can't say anything. My service is to ensure that you will not go to court, so when you are not sure whether it is illegal, you must come to the court first. I."

black!

It's not just black.

Chen Maoqian felt that he was really a kind and gentle little sheep, born to be slaughtered.

They quickly picked up the contract and took a closer look.

Zhang Fei continued: "The current situation is turbulent and unpredictable. God knows what will happen. This person walks by the river, how can he not get his shoes wet, maybe if he is not careful, he may go bankrupt, and spend five hundred guan to buy peace of mind. Is there a more profitable business than this? Besides, the five hundred guan is just a drop in the bucket for you."

The annual fixed expenditure is [-] guan.

As long as you open your mouth, there is nothing.

Hair pulling hurts too!

Ma Tianhao and Chen Maoqian were depressed and silent.

It's really sent to the door to be slaughtered!

Zhang Fei glanced at them and coughed lightly: "Of course, this is just a suggestion. When we do business, what matters is what you like and what you want. You can also ask us to calculate the tax separately. We will calculate the price according to the scale of your business. At most, it will be one hundred per year."

Ma Tianhao snorted, "Doesn't my house have an accountant?"

Zhang Fei smiled disdainfully: "Can your accountant guarantee that you pay taxes to satisfy the government?"

Ma Tianhao died immediately.

Fan Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Uncles, the younger generation thinks that Brother Zhang's asking price is very fair. In today's world, we really need the protection of the law."

Zhang Fei immediately praised: "It's true that blue is better than blue!"

After speaking, he said to Ma Tianhao again: "I said Brother Hao, you should also come here as a pony."

Ma Tianhao snorted and said: "Let that Nizi come, I'm afraid he will sign all five thousand coins. Sign it! Sign it! When I came here, I knew I would be slaughtered by you, but I didn't expect you to be slaughtered so ruthlessly."

Zhang Fei said: "When the price increases in the future, you will know how merciful I am now."

".?"

It was almost evening, but the sky was still bright.

An old man in his fifties walked slowly to the gate of Kaifeng Mansion. Although he was dressed in common clothes, his waist was straight and he was upright.

The yamen servant in front of the gate, upon seeing this person, immediately came forward, clasped his fists and said, "I have seen Qian Yushi."

This old man is Yu Shi Qian Yi.

Qian Wei said: "I have resigned from the position of censor, now I am only a commoner, you don't need to salute me."

The buddies looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to take it seriously.

Don't offend the censor if you offend anyone!

Qian Wei ignored them and went straight to Dengwengu.

What does he want to do?

Before they could react, Qian Yi had already picked up the drumstick and vigorously beat the Dengwen Drum of Kaifeng Mansion.
