Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 229 Must share joys and sorrows
On the same day, Lu Gong went to find Wang Anshi, and then informed Wang Anshi of the leak in the roof of the Sanbu Gouyuan.

After Wang Anshi learned about it, he took a sip of tea with a determined expression, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Hui, are you talking about water leakage or tax evasion?"

Lu Gong saw that Wang Anshi was still in the mood to joke, so he asked, "Did you already know it, or did you already know it?"

Wang Anshi didn't answer and asked instead: "As the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, why didn't you find out and then tell me."

Mr. Lu sighed: "An experienced police officer will not push criminals into a corner."

Wang Anshi looked at Lu Gong and said, "If I planned to play tricks with them, I wouldn't choose to resort to the court, let them go."

Lu Gong nodded, got up and said, "I'll take my leave first."

Wang Anshi stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Anyway, thank you Uncle Hui for coming to inform me."

"There's only so much I can do." Lu Gong cupped his hands, smiled apologetically, and left.

He faintly felt that the other party might have tampered with the accounts, but if this matter was pursued, it might be a dead end for the other party, and God knows what the other party would do.

This thing could get out of hand.

There are many people involved in the key party, and all of them are key departments of the imperial court. If you want to investigate, you may not be able to find evidence.

After thinking about it, Lu Gongzhu decided to tell Wang Anshi first to see what Wang Anshi's plan was. After all, the biggest victim of this matter was Wang Anshi.

Wang Anshi's attitude also reassured him a little.

As soon as Mr. Lu left, Lu Huiqing arrived on his back.

It is also about tax evasion on the roof of Sanbu Gouyuan.

"Master, this is no coincidence, they must have tampered with the accounts."

Lu Huiqing said very worriedly.

Wang Anshi said calmly, "Uncle Lu Hui told me about this just now."

Lu Huiqing said: "I don't know what the Kaifeng Mansion is going to do?"

Wang Anshi said: "Pretend you don't know."

"what?"

Lu Huiqing was surprised, "How can this work, it's not fair to us!"

Wang Anshi fell silent.

After Lu Huiqing saw it, she asked again: "Has my mentor already prepared any countermeasures?"

Wang Anshi said: "Wait."

"Wait?"

"Ah."

Royal Palace.

"The villain sees His Majesty."

Lan Yuanzhen came to the house to salute.

Zhao Xu said: "I heard that the roof of Gouyuan leaked, which damaged many account books."

Lan Yuanzhen hurriedly explained: "The villain just learned about this."

Zhao Xu said: "Regarding the case of tax evasion, the Gouyuan has important evidence. I don't want any mistakes to be made. You will go and inquire immediately. In addition, send someone to watch and don't make any omissions."

"Little man obeys."

Wang Anshi has been sitting in the Department of Regulations of the Second Mansion and waiting. No one knows what he is waiting for. He didn't get out of the room until he was released from the government.

Lu Huiqing saw Wang Anshi's relaxed expression, although he was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, Wang Anshi had been waiting for Zhao Xu's summoning.

Because he knows the importance of this lawsuit to Zhao Xu, if Zhao Xu summons him, then think of countermeasures, if not, there is only one possibility, that is, Zhao Xu has been prepared, after all, this is the imperial city, Zhao Xu is The biggest master here is not an official of the third division.

Wen Yanbo came to the Political Affairs Hall and asked Sima Guang, "Do you know about the water leak in Gouyuan?"

Sima Guang nodded, and asked Wen Yanbo, "What do you think, Duke Wen?"

"As expected."

Wen Yanbo shook his head and sighed: "This is actually not the first time this has happened."

Sima Guang smiled wryly and said, "Since it's within everyone's expectations, then it's normal. It depends on how Wang Jiefu and the others see their tricks."

Wen Yanbo nodded slightly, and said: "Fortunately, Kaifeng Mansion is relatively calm this time, and did not send people to investigate the matter immediately. If Kaifeng Mansion intervenes in this matter immediately, this lawsuit will definitely fail, and things will become worse and worse. It’s complicated, and anything can happen.”

Sima Guang sighed, "It's not a day's cold to freeze three feet!"

Zhang family.

"Why are you two here?"

Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong who was squatting on a chair and eating oranges, and Ma Xiaoyi who was loveless with his chin in one hand, and asked.

"Ask him."

Cao Dongdong glanced at Ma Xiaoyi, then continued to eat.

Ma Xiaoyi raised his head and said guiltily: "Third Brother, I'm sorry, I...I can't go to court with you this time."

Zhang Fei was stunned and said, "When did I cough why? Xiao Ma, I really need your help this time."

Cao Dongdong turned his head and looked at Zhang Fei with disdain.

Zhang Fei said with a guilty conscience, "Why is the yamen looking at me like this?"

"It's nothing."

Cao Dongdong continued to peel the oranges and started to eat them.

Ma Xiaoyi sighed: "Why else, my father won't let me go to court with you, he also said that if I want to go, he will send someone to arrest me, and he won't even let me watch the lawsuit."

Zhang Fei was silent for a long time, and after a while, he sighed: "In this case, then... let's cooperate next time."

As he spoke, he patted Ma Xiaoyi on the shoulder.

Seeing that they had finished speaking, Cao Dongdong suddenly said: "Zhang San, although Xiaoma can't go to court with you, we still have other ways to support you."

Zhang Fei subconsciously asked: "What way?"

Cao Dongdong said: "You don't know, a few days ago, many people were not optimistic about you, so let's sit with Xiao Ma, reduce your multiple to [-], and then raise the other party to five times at most, we believe you will be able to won."

Ma Xiaoyi nodded straightly and said: "However, more and more people bet on the opponent recently, we have collected more than 8000 guan now."

Zhang Fei blinked, you two brats, you don't want me for such a lucrative business, I don't want to do it, I'm really short of money now!

He rolled his eyes, and couldn't help saying with a moved face: "Ya Nei, Xiao Ma, you guys...I never thought you would be so loyal. How can I, Zhang San, be able to strengthen the two of you."

Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes, "Then you have to win this lawsuit, otherwise, we will have to pay tens of thousands of guan."

He came here today to test Zhang Fei's tone.

At the beginning, he was just talking quickly, but he didn't know that more and more people came to place bets.

Zhang Fei asked in surprise, "So many?"

Cao Dongdong jumped off the chair and said nervously, "You won't be defeated, right?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, you are not even afraid of Fan Sijian, but you are afraid of that mere little Erbi?"

What are you talking about? I'm also Erbi, okay?Zhang Fei sighed: "The outcome of a lawsuit is in the hands of the judge. I can't guarantee it. I can only do my best."

After Cao Dongdong heard this, his heart trembled.

"But don't worry."

Zhang Fei patted Cao Dongdong's shoulder with one hand, and Ma Xiaoyi's with the other hand, saying: "We three brothers, share the blessings and share the difficulties, I will bear it together with you."

Ma Xiaoyi nodded with tears in his eyes.

Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "What's the use of loyalty, the key is you have to win this lawsuit!"

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Of course I am sure of winning, but I may also lose. You have adjusted the multiplier so high, the risk is too high."

Cao Dongdong panicked: "Then what should we do?"

Zhang Fei said: "Close your village first, the three of us will open another one, increase my multiplier, and then lower the opponent's multiplier, the difference is almost two or three times."

"What's the use of this?" Cao Dongdong asked in confusion.

Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "Don't you understand this? It may make more people oppress me, so that it can be balanced, and the loss will not be too much."

Ma Xiaoyi scratched his head and said, "Shouldn't you increase your multiplier and lower the opponent's?"

Zhang Fei said: "Then what if I win?"

Ma Xiaoyi nodded thoughtfully, moving his ten fingers, as if doing arithmetic.

"It's not safe, we have collected thousands of guan."

Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes and said: "If not, you can give me some guarantees, and we will bring in more people, Brother Xiaochun, Fan Dalang, if it is evenly shared, there will not be much money, but you have to say a few words ruthlessly." If so, we can lie to them."

Wow. From now on, we must guard against this kid, he won't even bat an eye when poking his brother.Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong in surprise.

Ma Xiaoyi said: "But it can't, that would be disrespectful."

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly, and said: "Xiao Ma is right, we three brothers will do this, if we win, we will go crazy together, if we lose, we will carry it together, what are we afraid of?"

Cao Dongdong was still a little hesitant.

I just want to be crazy, I don't want to carry it.

Ma Xiaoyi said to Cao Dongdong again: "Brother, you are very afraid. If you lose, with the third brother around, we can also renege on the debt."

Zhang Fei was startled, "Xiao Ma, where did you say that?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, if you can't pay the compensation, you can only go to court, you must have a solution?"

"I."

Zhang Fei scratched his head and said, "Maybe there is a way."

Cao Dongdong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a happy smile: "You should have said it earlier, okay, let's do it. The multiple will not change, just this multiple."

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, if you don't change, I won't be able to share weal and woe with you, close that village, and the three of us will open another one."

Ma Xiaoyi grinned and said: "Just listen to the third brother, we three brothers open another village."

Cao Dongdong hehe said: "As long as you can renege on the debt, then I don't care."

These two boys listened to Zhang Fei's persuasion, opened another dealer, and lowered the odds of both parties a little closer. Bet on the seven big tea cannibals.

In less than three days, it was close to ten thousand.

Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi were completely dumbfounded.

How is this going?

Doesn't it mean that it will be more balanced?

It turned out that there was a water leak in the Gouyuan, and it was rumored that the dudes in the capital overheard some news.

In addition, Cao Dongdong quietly opened another bank and adjusted the odds, making the two even closer.

This kind of technical adjustment makes people think that Zhang Fei may be in trouble.

Not to mention dandies, even many gambling houses come here to bet.

This kind of fanatical gambling behavior has also made this lawsuit a concern of the whole people, no, it should be the participation of the whole people.

at last!

With everyone's eager anticipation, the day of the trial came.

Before dawn, Xu Zhiqian stood in the hall of the Zhang family as usual, complaining and waiting.

As usual, Zhang Fei sat calmly in front of the bronze mirror, enjoying Gao Wenyin's service.

After finishing her hair, Gao Wenyin took out another shirt from the closet.

"what?"

Zhang Fei looked at the green robe embroidered with white eagles, "What's the matter with this eagle?"

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "I made the decision and embroidered it on my own. If Saburo doesn't like it, I'll go and change it."

"No no no!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly took it over and made gestures on his body, "This is really more handsome, Madam is really ingenious, I like this design very much."

"San Lang likes it." Gao Wenyin's cheeks flushed slightly, her beautiful eyes flicked, and she hesitated to speak: "It's just."

Zhang Fei asked: "Just what?"

Gao Wenyin said: "It's just that it takes a lot of time to embroider this eagle. I don't know if I can embroider another one before the next lawsuit."

"It's okay, it's okay, such a beautiful dress, it doesn't hurt to wear it a few more times." Zhang Fei gestured, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

A look of joy flashed in Gao Wenyin's eyes, and she said, "Then I... I'll embroider another one as soon as possible."

"You don't need to hurry, how tired you are!" As he spoke, Zhang Fei happened to catch the joy on Gao Wenyin's face from the bronze mirror, and thought to himself, whoops!I was fooled!Unexpectedly, this woman's tricks are so powerful that even I fell for her tricks.

It turned out that Gao Wenyin replaced Zhang Fei with a new one when she saw that Zhang Fei was in a lawsuit, but those robes that had been worn once were just as good as new ones.

But she didn't dare to say it clearly, so she thought of this trick.

Zhang Fei didn't hurt her, he put on a new shirt, a hat and a short pen, and went out.

"Why are you always hey, your robe?"

Xu Zhiqian, who was just about to complain, was taken aback when she saw a white eagle embroidered on Zhang Fei's left shoulder to left chest.

Zhang Fei proudly said: "This is my new shirt, handsome or not?"

Xu Zhiqian said unhappily: "We are here for a lawsuit, not for a banquet, why are you dressed like this?"

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "Miss Xu, don't blame Saburo, this... This is actually embroidered on my own initiative."

"Ma'am, don't explain to her. She doesn't understand at all."

Zhang Fei raised her hand to stop her, and argued to Xu Zhiqian: "I am not the same as others when going to court. I am an art. A beautiful robe is very necessary. But you, it is still this old one. Later I'll ask someone to make another one for you, it's almost not good enough for me."

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes: "Don't do this, I wouldn't wear it if I did it, it's a waste of money."

She is the complete opposite of Zhang Fei, she needs a low profile, not a high profile.

As usual, after some bickering, the two got out of the house.

It was pitch black outside.

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian in embarrassment, "You know why I wear this new jersey! Because I have to take into account the attention of everyone."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Don't be verbose, let's go quickly."

When he was about to get into the carriage, only one person shouted: "Zhang San, San Lang, third brother, you must lose this time! I bet all my belongings on you to lose."

"Ouch!"

Hearing this, Zhang Fei was distracted for a moment, and almost fell off the carriage again, but thanks to Long Wuyan's quick hands, he hugged him behind his back and pushed him into the carriage.

This accident caused another discussion among the crowd.

"Look, Zhang San is out of shape, he almost didn't even get on the carriage."

"It seems that Zhang San also knows that his going is bad or bad!"

"Ouch! That's really nice."

　Some readers complained about my odds in the previous chapter. What I want to say about this is that if you have the ability, you should come up with reasonable odds and let me see it.
