When Sima Guang returned to the Yushitai, he heard the roar of filial piety from hell inside before he even entered the gate.
Sima Guang couldn't help but silently shed a cold sweat for Wen Yanbo.
When he entered the house, he saw Liu Shu, Fan Chunren, Qian Yi and others immediately swarming up and surrounding Sima Guang, firing guns and cannons non-stop.
Between the words, I was really aggrieved and angry.
We were all willing to take a step back and accompany him in the lawsuit with a small ear pen, but we were rejected by the ear pen. This is simply a shame and a great humiliation!
If you don’t fight, don’t fight.
There shouldn't be any lawsuits in the first place. Aren't court policies all resolved internally?
Wen Yanbo's ears were already ringing from what he heard just now. He took this opportunity to quickly drink tea. He had already finished talking about it.
Sima Guang looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, then walked slowly to his seat and sat down.
The servant quickly poured a cup of tea.
Sima Guang took a sip, put down the tea cup, and then waved his hand and said: "Okay! Okay! I know you are aggrieved."
Liu Shu immediately said: "We are not aggrieved, but angry. That Erbi Zhang San is really going too far. If this continues, who will take us seriously?"
Sima Guang nodded and asked in a calm tone: "Would you like to hear a few words from me?"
They gradually became quiet.
Sima Guang said: "You are so angry because the other party is just a little ear-pen, why should he be picky?"
Everyone nodded.
Sima Guang said: "For the same reason, the officials are willing to review their own edicts in the most fair way. Why are you dissatisfied?"
Fan Chunren said: "How can this be called justice? This is clearly...!"
"Sapo" was not said out loud after all.
Sima Guang explained: "In court, everything must abide by the rules. It is not about court defense, morality, and pros and cons. Otherwise, problems will indeed arise. Zhang Fei's worries are by no means unreasonable, but It's because we didn't think carefully. If we can use examples to break the law, it will leave many problems. This is why Mr. Fu and Mr. Han dismissed your complaint. If you can follow the law and find better reasons to accuse, then Zhang Fei naturally did not dare to say anything."
Qi Hui, Liu Shu and other judges looked at each other in confusion.
It was not Zhang Fei who really dismissed their accusations, but Fu Bi and Han Qi.
This is enough to prove that they are indeed unreasonable.
But the justice they mentioned was justice in the arena. The losing side would have to pay a price, not legal justice.
This is the reason for their anger.
But then I thought about it, we also grew up reading the books of saints and sages, and we are still afraid that we will not be able to reason.
However, they have never tried this kind of policy to be judged judicially.
For a moment, I had no clue.
Liu Shu then asked: "How should we respond to the suggestion from Grand Master Isma?"
Sima Guang pretended to think, and repeated the same old tune: "I will still say the same thing, wait until the new law comes out, and then talk about it. In the end, the officials just want to create advantages and eliminate disadvantages."
"no!"
Qian Yi, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up and said, "If an official wants to make profits and eliminate disadvantages, he must abide by the court's laws. How can he set up another department? Who will supervise this department in the future? Although this is allowed, this further proves that they There is something wrong in my heart.
We will sue this company for violating the laws of our ancestors. As long as we can win the lawsuit, even if the official name is changed and another company is established in the future, this justice will remain in the hearts of the people. Whether the two companies are the same, who knows, they will not be afraid of people laughing at them. It's up to them to continue to hide their lies. "
The others nodded.
That's what happened.
As long as they can win the lawsuit, they will at least have the legal high ground.
After seeing this, Sima Guang thought to himself, the authorities are really obsessed with it, and bystanders know better. I should have thought that even so, they would still agree to fight this lawsuit. But...that guy Zhang San is also in authority!
Fan Chunren also nodded and said: "Brother Qian is right. As long as he can win this lawsuit, I won't believe Wang Jiefu. I won't even lose my face."
Sima Guang nodded with a smile and said: "That's okay. It's not easy to invite Han Xianggong and Fu Gong to come forward, and we won't let them work in vain."
Liu Shu said worriedly: "But Zhang San's methods of fighting lawsuits are endless, and now he is in an invincible position. I'm afraid it will be difficult to win this lawsuit."
Fan Chunren pondered for a while and said: "Therefore, we must avoid his sharp edge this time. Instead of entangled with Zhang San, we should face Wang Jiefu directly."
Sima Guang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are your plans?"
.....
Over there, Zhang Fei returned home, and Xu Zun and his daughter prepared a small bench to listen to the story.
For this reason, Xu Zun returned home early for the first time in his life.
Nowadays, the officials of Dali Temple are not interested in working. They are all talking about this matter. Listening to their discussion, it is better to go home and listen to the inside story.
How cool this is!
"hehe...."
Xu Zunfusu smiled and said: "I know that if you don't offend Xianggong Han and Mr. Fu, you will feel uncomfortable with your words."
Zhang Fei asked sarcastically: "What do you think my benefactor said?"
Xu Zundao: "The first thing you do when you get out of prison is to sue me. Now that your family is a little richer, you can't offend the officials!"
This "we" is really fatal!
Xu Zhiqian hummed softly: "It's just this time, next time I will have to offend the officials."
Zhang Fei glared at him and said, "Thanks to you, I have already offended him."
Xu Zhiqian's face turned red, "I've said this so many times, but you can't blame me."
Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said: "Actually, it's not about offending or offending. They are the presiding judges and should be fair and impartial. I'm not targeting them, I'm targeting the charges against them. If I don't seek to fight for myself, Why is it so important for our interests?”
If he was lying flat, there would be no need for him to be so fussy.
"That's true."
Xu Zun nodded.
Xu Zhiqian said: "In this case, this lawsuit will not need to be fought."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "You can't escape."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Why?"
Zhang Fei said: "They just can't use examples to break the law to fight this lawsuit, but if they want to sue for violating the ancestral laws, they can still find a basis. Besides, I accepted the case the first time and didn't accept it the second time. That doesn't make sense! "
Xu Zhiqian said: "But even if they sue, nothing will change."
"not necessarily."
Xu Zun waved his hand and said: "If they can win, then he will have the upper hand in terms of the law. Although they cannot be stopped, they will also be detrimental to the public opinion of the new law."
"What my benefactor said is absolutely true."
Zhang Fei nodded and said confidently: "But it is impossible for them to win."
.......
In fact, there is no need to think about it at all. This lawsuit will undoubtedly be fought.
After all, the arena has been set up and even the referee is in place.
Both sides were very angry, and everyone was talking loudly.
If we don't have a fight, this matter will definitely not get through!
Although Zhang Fei was playing tricks and trying to ensure that Wang Anshi was invincible, whether he was truly invincible or not, he had to take the first step.
As long as they can win, they can still take the initiative.
Of course, many middle-level officials hope to uphold the first verdict when they see that the other party is still playing tricks.
The problem is that the cited examples and broken laws can no longer be used. If you maintain it, it will be of no use.
They have only one choice.
beat!
Qian Yi wrote another petition and handed it over.
This time Zhang Fei took it.
It doesn't matter if you don't accept it. The edict is also a pocket law and can be interpreted. The decision-making power lies not with the ear pen but with the presiding judge.
Since this lawsuit is just a continuation of the previous one, both parties have been fully prepared.
Fu Bi and Han Qi did not give them much time to prepare, saying that the trial would begin in three days.
...
Today was the day of the ceremony, so it was still dark, so Gao Wenyin got up early and told Xiao Tao to quickly prepare breakfast. She waited in front of Zhang Fei's door. After Zhang Fei got up, Gao Wenyin immediately entered the room and served him. Zhang Fei washes up.
Regarding the process of getting up, Zhang Fei basically didn't have to think about it, and Gao Wenyin's soft, boneless hands made him enjoy it extremely. He was fascinated by the lake and was already sitting in front of the bronze mirror.
Gao Wenyin stood behind him, gently helping him comb his hair.
After a while, Zhang Fei slowly opened his eyes and looked at Gao Wenyin's graceful and plump figure in the mirror, especially the roundness that could not be covered by the robe. He couldn't help but swallow, clenched his fists, and thought to himself, this woman The service has reached the extreme and is impeccable. Isn’t it time to take a step further...
Gao Wenyin, who was helping Zhang Fei take care of him, suddenly felt that his body bones were gradually hardening. He secretly peeked into the bronze mirror and saw that Zhang Fei had opened his eyes, his eyes were straight, he seemed a little nervous, and he couldn't help but feel worried. He whispered softly: "Husband."
"ah?"
Zhang Fei was startled and asked guiltily: "What's the matter?"
Gao Wenyin didn't know that Zhang Fei could still be cheerful at this moment, so she thought he was anxious, so she asked, "Are you going to go to court with the Prime Minister this time?"
Zhang Fei thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Absolutely."
Gao Wenyin frowned slightly, but hesitated to speak. His pair of big, bright almond-shaped eyes showed concern.
Zhang Fei asked: "Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"I...."
Gao Wenyin murmured twice before saying softly: "I just think that the people... the people should not fight with the officials."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Did Shi Dalang fight with the officials?"
"Ah?" Gao Wen's delicate body trembled slightly, and the comb in his hand almost dropped. He looked lonely, shook his head slightly, and whispered: "No... no."
As an ear pen, Zhang Fei will not care about what has become a fact. He smiled slightly and said: "So, if you don't solve the difficulties, the difficulties will definitely come to you. You can't hide from them. The people There is a certain truth to the saying "Don't fight with officials, but who will score."
Gao Wenyin nodded slightly and said, "I just saw that my husband was a little anxious, so..."
"anxiety?"
Zhang Fei felt confused. Suddenly, he realized, yes, the blood in his brain has been drained. How can he not be anxious? But he asked with a smile: "Are you worried about this, madam?"
Gao Wenyin nodded.
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "This is a good thing."
Gao Wenyin looked at Zhang Fei in the bronze mirror in astonishment.
She didn't realize at all that before, she was only busy with her duties and never cared about other things, but now she gradually cares about all the big and small things at home.
...
After taking care of her hair, Gao Wenyin skillfully brought a brand new turquoise robe and put it on Zhang Fei.
Then he brought the exquisite small wooden box, Zhang Fei picked out a short pen from it, inserted it on the brim of his hat, and then went out of the room.
When they came to the front yard, they saw Xu Zhiqian pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Good morning, Madam Xu."
Zhang Fei stepped forward.
Xu Zhiqian lightly stomped her feet, "How can you, a grown man, repay your mother-in-law and mother-in-law? It took longer than a woman like me to prepare."
"What do you, a single woman, know? You are not allowed to talk between husband and wife." Zhang Fei said with an arrogant look on his face.
"Between husband and wife?" Xu Zhiqian curled her lips disdainfully.
Gao Wenyin on the side was blushing and speechless.
Zhang Fei coughed, looked at Xu Zhiqian, and saw the red-edged black robe again, and couldn't help but said: "Why is it this one again? Why don't you change it?"
Xu Zhiqianfeng's eyes widened: "Isn't it the same for you?"
Zhang Fei snorted: "This is brand new for me, but it's already worn out by you."
Xu Zhiqian's beautiful face suddenly turned red and she spat, "I'm not as wasteful as you."
Zhang Fei snorted: "What a waste, this is called respect for the court."
Gao Wenyin suddenly said: "Husband, Madam Xu, it's getting late, so don't be late."
Xu Zhiqian, who was dizzy with anger, was full of enemies: "Madam, I didn't know how to stop chatting with him just now."
"I...."
Gao Wenyin almost bit her tongue.
Zhang Fei instead gave Xu Zhiqian an appreciative look.
When Xu Zhiqian saw her friend accidentally injured, she lightly stamped her foot and said, "Hurry up and leave."
Zhang Fei laughed and said to Gao Wenyin: "Madam, please warm up the wine and come back as soon as you go for your husband."
Gao Wenyin nodded dully, then suddenly glanced at the sky and thought, Do you need to warm the wine on such a hot day?
Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian walked outside the hospital.
Li Si followed behind, carrying a bamboo box on his back, but he was only responsible for taking them to the gate of the imperial city, but they could not get inside.
Arriving at the door, Niu Beiqing and Feng Nancy, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward to greet them.
"Wish En Gong a successful victory."
"No need to wish, just prepare the food and wine."
"Don't worry, benefactor, this matter will be taken care of by me, Daniel."
.....
After Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian got on the carriage, Niu Beiqing said: "Old Qi, my benefactor and Madam Xu are such a perfect match!"
Feng Nanxi immediately scolded: "You are talking nonsense again."
Niu Beiqing nodded and said: "Yes, yes, my father-in-law and my sister-in-law are a couple."
Sister-in-law?
As soon as he said this, he felt that it was not right, and he couldn't help but look at Feng Nancy, as if asking, what should he say.
Suddenly I heard a shout from behind: "Daniu, what are you talking about?"
The two looked back and saw Gao Wenyin glaring at them with a red face.
"I went to chop the meat."
"I...I went to buy some wine too."
...
Inside the carriage.
"I heard from dad that this court hearing will be held in the courtyard in front of the Political Hall, and almost all the court officials will come to watch the trial."
Xu Zhiqian, who was shaking slightly, said uneasily.
Zhang Fei looked at her and saw that her snow-white forehead was slightly sweating. He couldn't help but smile and asked, "Are you nervous?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Of course I'm nervous. Aren't you nervous?"
"Of course I'm not nervous."
Zhang Fei pulled the hem of his clothes: "My outfit was designed for the big stage. I can shine when there are many people, but it doesn't look good when there are few. I don't know when I will be able to go to the main hall to litigate a lawsuit."
"...?"
Look at the Northern Song Dynasty Justice.8.2...m. :
