Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 228 Maybe This Is Life
Lee's bookstore.

"Li Xingshou, why didn't they ask the officials of the DPRK and China to help this time? Could it be that there is a mystery in it, so those officials are unwilling to take action."

Fei Ming, one of the seven great tea eaters, said to Li Guozhong a little nervously.

The rest of the tea eaters also looked at Li Guozhong.

No one looked down on their seven major bookstores before, and it was those officials who were fighting against Zhang Fei. This time they were hired suddenly, which made them a little flustered.

Don't let the fox not catch it, and make a mess.

Li Guozhong smiled and said: "Don't think about it, there is no mystery in it, the reason why they hired us this time is that Fan Sijian didn't defend Wei Yushan last time, so they didn't trust Fan Sijian very much. "

"That's true."

Tang Zi nodded and said, "I also went to see that lawsuit. Fan Sijian obviously had his own plans. This is really incomparable to us. We will do our best after we get the money."

Li Guozhong nodded: "That's what happened."

The rest of the tea eaters also reacted.

Fan Chunren is an admonisher, and this lawsuit is tricky. If you ask Fan Chunren to file a lawsuit, you must not tell him all the tricks. If there is still a lawsuit, Fan Chunren will go directly to participate in a copy of it.

Fan Chunren does not have the professional ethics of Er Bi, he is a professional official.

Of course, Fan Chunren lost several times in a row, and those people didn't have much confidence in him, so he had to ask Erbi to do this kind of thing.

Fei Ming immediately turned his worries into joy, "Then this is a good opportunity for us. Now the Erbi is almost used exclusively by Zhang San. When it comes to the Erbi, they only recognize Zhang San. If we can win, then We can suppress Bianjing Law Firm."

Li Guozhong nodded: "Yes, I think so too, so this time we must go all out."

Tang Zi said again: "But the key to this case is the evidence. If the other party has solid evidence in hand, it will be difficult for us to do anything!"

Li Guozhong said: "As for the evidence, I will talk to you in detail later, this lawsuit is definitely worth fighting."

Mahang Street, which is also one of the busiest streets in Bianliang, Tokyo, is as lively as Bianhe Street, especially at night.

Another torrential rain had just passed, and all the shops hung up lanterns, and people went out of their homes one after another to visit the night market.

This is the exclusive benefit of the people of the Song Dynasty, which cannot be experienced in other dynasties.

"What happened in front, why is it so noisy?"

"It seems to be Hong's small shop."

"The Hong family? Isn't that the owner of a gambling shop? The gambling money has come to the door."

"Go! Let's go and have a look."

I saw that in an alley, it was full of people. When I got closer, there was a small shop inside. The door of the small shop was full of people. Take the prince's office.

Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for the two to squeeze into the same room.

Since ancient times, only gambling can break all classes.

"What? Seven big tea eaters, one pays two, Zhang Sanyi pays one?"

I saw a handsome boy standing in front of the bunk, glanced at the wooden board above, and said to the boy behind the table.

Seeing the young man's unkind expression, the young man hurriedly apologized with a smile, "Forgive me, Mr. Han, because that Zhang San has never lost, so the compensation is naturally less."

That son is really Han Qi's grandson, Han Pan.

"is it?"

Han Pan said: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to afford it if you lose!"

The young man looked at Han Pan with a guilty conscience, and said, "I don't know how much Mr. Han intends to bet?"

Han Pan pointed at each other: "Five hundred guan."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the crowd.

As expected of Han Pan, the shot is different.

The young man glanced at Han Pan, his brows were furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "The boy opened the door to do business, there is nothing he dare not accept, at worst, he will sell my ancestral shop."

Just at this moment, a more arrogant voice was heard, "Wubaiguan, do you have the nerve to scare people?"

Another person said: "Xiaoqi, don't be afraid, my brother and I support you."

I saw two youngsters getting in.

It was Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi.

Cao Dongdong put one hand on the young man's shoulder, "Xiao Qi, Zhang Sanyi's compensation is a bit too much, so he will pay half. The seven big tea eaters will pay five for each."

"what?"

The young man looked at Cao Dongdong in surprise, "Yanei, this... this is not allowed!"

Cao Dongdong said: "What are you afraid of? I'm here, and I won't let you sell the shop. If you lose, I'll win. If you win, I'll pay [-]%. How about taking [-]%?"

After hearing that, the young man nodded happily. If he still refuses to agree to this guaranteed business, then he might as well go pick a shit.

Han Pan looked at Cao Dongdong sullenly, "Yanei, are you really paying five?"

Cao Dongdong shook his head, "Taozi, change it!"

"Hey!"

Taozi immediately took down the wooden board and wrote on the other side "one pays two for one, one pays five".

Ma Xiaoyi provocatively said: "Mr. Han, do you dare to bet?"

The corner of Han Pan's mouth raised, "Okay, since the yamen is in the manor, the [-] guan is indeed a little less. I will bet [-] guan and the seven big tea eaters. Make a written statement first, and I will order someone to send the money later."

Cao Dongdong waved his hand: "The paperwork will be free, and you won't be reckless with this little money."

Five for one?

If you don't want to fight, when will you wait?

The people behind immediately rushed forward.

"I'll bet on the seven major tea cannibals."

"I bet five cents."

"Five papers, no charge."

Cao Dongdong's face darkened.

"what?"

"Take it, take it."

The young man turned to Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi, "Ya Nei, Brother Xiaoyi, I'd better leave this kind of rough work to my younger brother. You two go in and have a cup of tea and sit down for a while."

Thanks to these casinos, this lawsuit has become a national concern.

In fact, there were people who used this matter to sit in the bank before, and these gamblers are not stupid. Zhang Fei is so capable of attracting hatred, and opening the bank will definitely attract people. I dare not sit in the manor openly, I just do it secretly.

But this time it's different, this time it's all Erbi and tea eaters.

Then there is nothing to worry about.

With a sense of participation, the attention will naturally increase.

But Zhang Fei didn't know much about it. These days, he stayed at home and sorted out the evidence with Xu Zhiqian, Gao Wenyin, and Feng Nanxi.

It was a little too much.

"It's really shocking!"

Xu Zhiqian put down another account, "Based on the accounts we have reviewed so far, this tax evasion has already exceeded [-] yuan. If everyone pays taxes, the court will not be short of money, and it will not force those people to pay more. Tax."

Zhang Fei glanced at her: "You're overthinking this. If you have less money, you can live with less money. If you have more money, you can live with more money. Only the lack of money is eternal. And those officials at the bottom, they can They are all hungry, and the people still have to pay what they should pay, and there will not be much improvement."

Xu Zhiqian said dejectedly: "Hearing what you said, what's the point of us filing this lawsuit?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The point is to let this hungry wolf turn its attention to those fat and big pigs first, don't always stare at those skinny monkeys, what's the point of gnawing bones, isn't it good to eat. "

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly: "What pigs, those people are real wolves, the imperial court can only be regarded as a fierce tiger, but even a tiger can't hold back a pack of wolves, so they all choose to eat sheep."

Speaking of the latter, she pursed her mouth aggrievedly.

Zhang Fei nodded with a smile: "Your analogy is indeed more appropriate, that's what it is."

Xu Zhiqian said depressedly: "But it seems that there is no way to solve it, not even the law can stop it."

Zhang Fei said: "That can't be said like that."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei asked without answering, "What if the sheep have finished eating?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "Then they can only fight each other."

Zhang Fei said: "The meaning of the law is to let them eat slowly and regularly. When giving birth to sheep and grazing grass, don't finish eating all at once. Then everyone will be over."

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes: "You're right, I don't even want to be this lawyer anymore."

Zhang Fei shrugged: "But this is life!"

"Forget it, don't talk about it, the more you talk about it, the more angry you get."

Xu Zhiqian shook her head, and then asked Zhang Fei: "How do you think Li Guozhong and the others will fight this lawsuit? Last time I fought against that Li Lei, they are not good enemies, they are not so easy to deal with."

Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "I can't say for sure, it depends on how the people above operate. The only thing I can be sure of is that they will definitely stick to the tenants and try to push the responsibility to the tenants." , and then use the tenant farmers to win the sympathy of the government, so as to avoid taxes.”

Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "This is also the most difficult part of this lawsuit."

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "This point is indeed difficult, but it is only on the surface, as long as we approach from different angles, we can turn these unfavorable factors into our advantage.

We can even use this lawsuit to make the imperial court attach importance to the survival of the tenant farmers, so as to legislate to give some support to the tenant farmers.Today's law is completely biased towards the landlord. If the tenant farmers go to court with the landlord, it is almost impossible to win unless the landlord kills the tenant. "

Xu Zhiqian's eyes lit up, "Can we do this?"

Zhang Fei said: "It depends on the opponent's performance. The better they perform, the more likely they are."

Kaifeng House.

"Why did you come back empty-handed, where is the account book of the third division?"

Lu Gong looked at Li Kai who came in empty-handed, and his heart skipped a beat.

Li Kai glanced anxiously at Mr. Lu, then lowered his head slightly: "There was an accident at Gouyuan."

After listening to Mr. Lu, he frowned, "What accident?"

Li Kaidao: "Isn't it raining all the time these days?"

Lu Gong listened with a puzzled expression on his face, "Don't tell me that the imperial city is flooded, bypassing all the ministries, and just washed away the Gouyuan."

"The magistrate was just joking." Li Kai said awkwardly: "The flood is going to rush, and it will hit our Kaifeng mansion first, and we are closer to the river."

Lu Gong said: "What does that have to do with this matter?"

Li Kai sighed: "The roof of the Gouyuan has been in disrepair for a long time. It is said that there have been many cats running on the roof recently, causing the room where the accounts are stored in the Gouyuan to be infiltrated by rain, and many accounts have been soaked. In the process of sorting out, it will take a few days to deliver."

Lu Gong was delighted to hear it, "This cat can trample on the roof, what an anecdote! Maybe they misread it, and it is actually a pig running on it."

Li Kai sighed helplessly: "That's what Gouyuan said, and I can't help it."

Lu Gong said: "Didn't you go in and have a look?"

Li Kaidao: "Look, it's really serious. The house is full of water. It is said that after the third division learned that Wang Jiefu came to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint, he asked the Sanya to send someone to strictly guard the accounts to avoid any omissions. No one has entered in the past few days, and it has not been found.”

Sanya, Sansi, it's all here!Lu Gong closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, and asked again: "Then the accounts related to this case are still there?"

Li Kaidao: "They should all be there. I just found one or two copies. There are quite a few pages. The words have become blurred, but I can still read them clearly."

"It will be open in a few days."

Lu Gong sighed: "You go to Gouyuan again and let them clean it up slowly. Don't worry. I'll send it on the day the class opens. I don't even bother to read it."
