"Shrimp and pig heart?"
Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang with a cute look on his face, "Grand Bachelor Sima, this...is this the name of a dish?"
Sima Guang walked over, with a smile on his face, but his sharp eyes seemed to say, "Don't pretend to be soft in front of me, we have never fought before."
Zhang Fei coughed in embarrassment: "Maybe...maybe Grand Scholar Sima meant killing people to kill the heart, but that's true. They have already restricted my qualifications to sue, and they still want to beat me and kill me. It's really murderous." It’s heartbreaking!”
Sima Guang chuckled and said: "This is not called killing people and killing people's hearts, but it is his own evil that makes him unlucky. Alas... I have worked with him for so many years, and only then did I realize how narrow-minded he is."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's all because of my humble status. If I were a little higher, maybe it wouldn't be like this."
"Ha ha!"
Sima Guang laughed a few times and said noncommittally: "Since you see so clearly, why do you reject Wang Jiefu's kindness?"
Zhang Fei asked in astonishment: "Why are you being turned away?"
Sima Guang said: "I heard that Wang Jiefu planned to recommend you to become an official, but you rejected it. How many people want to be officials but can't. Why don't you cherish such a great opportunity?"
Zhang Fei looked stunned, and sighed half-seriously: "I have no fame and no family background. Even if I become an official, I can only help others run errands. Instead of going to the court and asking for grievances, it is better to stay here." The market is free and easy.”
"Carefree?"
Sima Guang shook his head and said: "You have offended so many people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to feel free and easy!"
Zhang Fei said: "But if you enter the officialdom, you will probably die a worse death. Although the stone next to the latrine is smelly and hard, and you will stumble from time to time, no one will touch it. The porcelain cup on the table , although they are exquisite and expensive, they cannot escape the fate of being broken, such as the porcelain cups in Wang Sinong’s house.”
Sima Guang laughed and nodded: "Actually, I have the same view as you. I also believe that the identity of the people of Erbi is more suitable for you now. Entering the officialdom will restrict your talents. No, It’s good for your future.”
Zhang Fei looked a little confused and said: "When did Grand Bachelor Sima care about me so much?"
Sima Guang glanced at him, "What? Do you think I am the unreasonable person? Or the petty person?"
"I dare not." Zhang Fei turned around and asked, "Doctor Sima finally agree with the verdict of Ayun's case?"
He knew that historically, Sima Guang was deeply worried about this case.
This is also the grudge between him and Sima Guang.
Sima Guang snorted: "Don't even think about it. In Ayun's case, I just lost, but not wrong. You just won, not right."
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your understanding, Grand Bachelor Sima. Actually, I don't want to prove that I am right. I just want to repay the kindness of saving my life."
Sima Guang smiled and nodded, "I know this. In fact, after several recent events, I also discovered that your kid is not bad-hearted, and at a young age, you are not afraid of the powerful and dare to fight for fairness. , It’s really valuable, no wonder Xu Zhongtuhen values you so much.”
Is this old fox filling me with ecstasy soup? Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Grandmaster Sima suddenly praised me like this, I am really flattered!"
Sima Guang chuckled: "It's neither scolding you nor complimenting you. What do you want?"
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "It's better to praise him."
Sima Guang added: "Actually, regarding the case of Li Siyi, the restriction of litigation rights, and the case of Wang Wenshan, I support you. At the same time, I also hope that you can use your talents to avenge more people who have been wronged. .”
A flash of doubt flashed in Zhang Fei's eyes, but he sighed heavily: "I think so too, but I can't even go to court now, so how can I complain for the people."
Sima Guang looked at him sideways.
Zhang Fei felt a little guilty when he looked at him, "Why is Grand Bachelor Sima looking at me like this?"
Sima Guang chuckled: "Wang Wenshan has been expelled from the capital, but you still refuse to give up. You came here early in the morning and kicked him in the face. At first, he only restricted your right to litigate, but you made a mortgage to make him I can't sleep at night, you are willing to suffer this cowardice, just because you have already obtained the qualification to litigate, and even if you haven't, it will probably be soon."
Wow...how long has this old fox been watching me. Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Grandmaster Sima thinks highly of me. I do it for survival, not for fighting spirit."
Sima Guang said: "Okay! I'm going to help you fight for the right to file a lawsuit. It's just a piece of cake."
"Ah? Well, no merit will be rewarded, and besides, I don't dare to bother Grand Scholar Sima with such a trivial matter." Zhang Fei chuckled.
He wanted to vent his anger on his own, but if Sima Guang helped him, it would be unpleasant. The key was that he had already obtained the right to sue, so it was up to him to give them a surprise.
Sima Guang pointed at Zhang Fei, "You kid...!"
He was obviously trying to win over me. What did he want from me? Forget it for now, I have nothing to lose anyway. Since he wants to win me over, I'll get the benefits first.
Zhang Fei didn't care about being used by others at all, because this just proved that he was valuable. He glanced at Sima Guang and sighed: "Even if I want to regain my right to litigate, there is nothing I can do." It’s limited and may not even be enough to support the family.”
Sima Guang asked: "What do you want?"
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, I have always had a bold idea, but I didn't dare to do it. If I have the support of Grand Master Sima, then the common people will not be afraid."
Sima Guang asked: "What do you think?"
Zhang Fei said: "Calculate taxes."
Sima Guang looked at him doubtfully, "Tax calculation?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Actually, there are only a few criminal cases throughout the year, and they are unlikely to endanger the stability of the country. What really causes disputes is money, and the most important one is taxes.
I just want to use my understanding of tax laws to help people calculate taxes and provide legal guarantees, so as to reduce the burden on people. "
He said it very cryptically, but Sima Guang understood it as soon as he heard it. If this plan can be successful, the phenomenon of arbitrary tax collection will be reduced to a certain extent.
It is equivalent to building a wall among the people.
This is wonderful!
It is also in line with Sima Guang's political philosophy.
After thinking for a while, Sima Guang looked up at Zhang Fei in surprise, "Did you think of this?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Sima Guang asked again: "How did you think of it?"
To put it more seriously, it means having the world in mind is better than complaining about the injustices in the world.
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "I told you, Bachelor of Sima, not to laugh at me!"
"explain!"
"The rich businessmen in this world are basically big landowners. The reason is very simple, because the land can grow food and mulberry trees, and food and cloth are indispensable for everyone's life. In addition, there are Even taxes are indispensable."
"I see!"
Sima Guang suddenly realized that everyone has to pay taxes. If one person comes out to guarantee it and it can still succeed, he will make crazy money. Suddenly he no longer has any doubts. He laughed and said: "I don't see that you are quite good at doing business." talent."
"Where! Where!" Zhang Fei smiled honestly: "But Grand Bachelor Sima also knows that this is not easy. What if...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Sima Guang said: "I will definitely support you. I hope this matter can be completed as soon as possible."
The tone was very firm.
Zhang Fei hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you! Thank you very much!"
But I was muttering in my heart, it seems that he really wants to win me over, is it because of my talent or my appearance...?
Sima Guang glanced at him and suddenly asked: "By the way, I have always wanted to ask you something, but I just haven't found the opportunity."
"I don't dare! I don't dare!" Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "If you have anything to say, Grand Master Sima, just give me your orders."
The tone sounded different.
Sima Guang asked: "How did you convince Wang Jiefu to agree to guarantee the mortgage?"
Zhang Fei was stunned, but he did not expect that Sima Guang would ask this question, and said: "Of course it is based on emotion and understanding. In the matter of housing loans, officials benefit, businessmen benefit, and the court also benefits. Wang Daxue Scholars serve the country and the people, so how can they be turned away?"
Sima Guang stroked his beard and smiled: "I am not pointing out the pros and cons."
"What does Sima Grand Master mean?"
"Based on my understanding of Wang Jiefu, the first thing he should think of is that the court itself should take care of the matter instead of handing over the mortgage to businessmen."
It seems that there is not only naked hatred between colleagues, but also a mutual understanding that is better than that of a couple.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Grand Scholar Wang did mention this matter."
Sima Guang asked hurriedly: "How did you convince him?"
Zhang Fei said truthfully: "I came up with this idea, and my request is to do it for businessmen. Although Academician Wang is stubborn, he is also reasonable. If he takes my suggestion and does not agree to my conditions, then It’s not something a gentleman would do.”
Sima Guang slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "That's it!"
Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang in surprise, what's so exciting about this.
Little did he know that Sima Guang had been thinking about this issue in those days. At that time, he thought that Wang Anshi had changed his gender, but later he saw that this was not the case. Therefore, he guessed that this idea was not Wang Anshi's own idea, but it must have been Zhang Fei. He was very fond of it. I’m curious how Zhang Fei persuaded Wang Anshi.
After all, he rarely convinced.
Sima Guang didn't notice Zhang Fei's gaze and asked again: "If you agree to Wang Jiefu, maybe he will give you a more generous reward?"
Zhang Fei's eyes flashed and he said: "The reason why I am here today is that I have never done anything that harmed the country or the people. If this matter is left to the court, it would be tantamount to competing with the people for profit, and the interests of the people are not the same. It is the interests of the imperial court. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
"well said!"
Sima Guang suddenly became excited, "Why can't Wang Jiefu understand such a simple truth?"
Zhang Fei pretended not to know and asked, "How do you say this?"
"he...."
Sima Guang waved his hand, "This has nothing to do with you." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Fei again, his eyes full of admiration, and felt that it was too late to meet him. He raised his hand and patted Zhang Fei's arm gently, "As long as you are sincere Remember what you said today, I will definitely support you."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Thank you, Grand Bachelor Sima."
