Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 24

Xu Zun went to work today full of enthusiasm. He planned to show his strengths in Dali Temple from today. He even prepared to work overtime so as to set an example for the officials of Dali Temple. Also leave early.

After coming out of the palace, Xu Zun went home directly. He was still in shock and had no intention of working at all.

Compared with Zhang Fei, a foreigner, Xu Zun, a local, knows better what "crime of deceiving the emperor" is!
He just wanted to kill Zhang Fei now.

"Father, why are you back?"

Recently, Xu Zhiqian, who has been relatively well-behaved, is trimming potted plants in the front yard and being a lady, she is very surprised to find that her father, who has always been diligent in work, came home an hour earlier.

As soon as Xu Zun saw Xu Zhiqian, he suppressed his anger for a long time, rushed up after a while, pointed at Xu Zhiqian and said, "It's all your fault, you stinky girl. If it wasn't for you, why would Daddy be so frightened today?"

Xu Zhiqian was so scolded that her face was covered, and she was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses, and she was very aggrieved and said: "Daughter has not done anything to make father unhappy recently."

"No?"

Xu Zun blew his beard and stared and said: "Yesterday when Zhang San asked Dad for help, why is a girl so talkative? Dad approved an official document for him. You meddle in your own business, I really do."

When it comes to the back, I'm really gnashing my teeth!

Xu Zhiqian is really not a gentle and gentle lady, and her personality is just like his father's, so she immediately argued: "Although this is not illegal, but after all, Dad is taking advantage of his position to seek benefits for Zhang San, which will harm Dad reputation."

Xu Zun hummed: "So today the official took advantage of his position to approve a piece of official document for Zhang San, and also called his father to inquire about it."

The more Xu Zhiqian listened, the more confused she became, and said, "Father, what are you talking about? Why did Zhang San ask the official to personally issue official documents to him."

Xu Zun covered his forehead, let out a long sigh, and said with lingering fear: "That kid is really cruel! He ran to Kaifeng Mansion today to surrender himself, saying that he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

"what?"

Xu Zhiqian was taken aback.

Xu Zun glanced at his daughter and said, "You didn't think of it, did you?"

As he said that, he told Xu Zhiqian the general process of the whole thing.

After Xu Zhiqian finished listening, she was dumbfounded.

OMG!

Can you still do this?

For a piece of official document, what are you doing?

If she had known this, she would not have dissuaded Xu Zun.

Give it to him quickly!

It's really terrible.

"Father, this person has his own way of doing things, has a surly personality, and has evil intentions. If he continues to stay in our house, something will happen sooner or later!" Xu Zhiqian said.

Xu Zun frowned and fell silent.

I have to say that this incident really scared him. No one would make fun of the "crime of deceiving the emperor", but he admired Zhang Fei's talent very much, and wanted to ask Zhang Fei to help him perfect the law, and he He always thought that he brought Zhang Fei to the capital, and he was obliged to take care of him, and he began to feel a little tangled in his heart.

Suddenly, a singing sound came from behind.

"The back view is real, the person is fake, there is no attachment, a hundred years ago, you were not you, and I was not me."

There is joy in the singing.

But the father and daughter were furious when they heard it.

Looking back, I saw Zhang Fei shaking his head and singing a little song to get in.

"Stinky boy, you are back."

Xu Zun immediately roared.

The singing stopped.

Seeing the father and daughter standing in the courtyard, Zhang Fei hurried over, without waiting for Xu Zun to open his mouth to scold him, he took the initiative to hand over to Xu Zun and said, "If today's matter brings trouble to benefactor, Zhang San is here Very sorry."

Xu Zun said excitedly: "Are you crazy, kid? Gambling with your life just for a piece of official document?"

Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Although Xiaomin's life is worthless, it is worth more than this paper, so it is not a gamble."

"That's not gambling?" Xu Zun pointed at Zhang Fei and said, "Don't you think the crime of deceiving the emperor can be used as a joke?"

Zhang Fei said seriously: "Although I haven't read any books, I also know the stakes of the crime of deceiving the emperor, but I believe even more that no one will tear down the whole house just to catch a mouse. It just looks serious, but it's actually very safe."

If he has a problem, it will directly affect the case of A Yun. Neither Song Shenzong nor Wang Anshi will allow this case to change again. They must defend Zhang Fei.

In fact, Xu Zun had already thought about this very clearly on the way back, but Zhang Fei's calmness at this time made him feel that his self-esteem was slightly hurt, and he couldn't help asking himself, could he be inferior to a kid?
And then again, this is not the first time Zhang Fei has played like this. He is actually a repeat offender. If he didn't have the guts, it would be difficult for him to win that lawsuit.It's just that the previous few times he had no choice but to fight head-on, so he chose to take a slanted sword. He could have expected it, but this time Zhang Fei took the initiative to attack, so he was so surprised and angry.

"mouse?"

Xu Zhiqian snorted softly: "You can be regarded as self-aware."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Xu, for your compliment."

Am I complimenting you?

Xu Zhiqian glared at Zhang Fei angrily.

Xu Zun coughed, stopped Xu Zhiqian from continuing, and said to Zhang Fei: "You have to remember that you were brought to Bianjing by me, and I recommended you to fight that lawsuit. Anything you do, It will implicate me, so I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, and you must discuss with me first if it involves matters in the DPRK and China, and you must not act without authorization. If it is reasonable, I will definitely support you."

Zhang Fei said solemnly: "Yes, I remember."

Xu Zun nodded and said, "Go back to the house first."

Zhang Fei bowed his hands and walked towards his residence.

Seeing that Xu Zun was still unwilling to let Zhang Fei move out, Xu Zhiqian felt dissatisfied, and suddenly turned her eyes, and said, "Daddy, I'm going back to the house too."

Xu Zun waved his hand and said, "Go."

Xu Zhiqian passed a corner of the corridor, and out of Xu Zun's sight, she immediately exited the corridor and walked towards Zhang Fei's residence.

After walking for a while, I heard that strange singing again.

"Sorrow is real, tears are fake, there is no cause and effect in the first place, and 100 years later, there will be no you and no me."

Listening to the cheerful singing, Xu Zhiqian slightly frowned, thinking to herself, how could he have any intention of repenting.

After catching up, she shouted: "Zhang San."

Zhang Fei turned around and said in surprise, "Mistress Xu."

Xu Zhiqian came to Zhang Fei, hesitated a little, and then said: "I have something to talk to you about."

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Ms. Xu probably wants me to move out of the Xu residence."

Xu Zhiqian was taken aback, "How do you know?"

Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "Besides, there is nothing to talk about between us."

"Yes!" Xu Zhiqian nodded in agreement.

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, Mrs. Xu, in fact, I don't want to depend on others, and the reason why I am eager to get this official document is because I want to earn a living as soon as possible so that I can move out of Xu's residence."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Now you have obtained the official documents."

Zhang Fei said: "Then I have to find out about the litigation situation so that I can find a living. It's just that I'm new to Bianjing and I'm not familiar with everything here, even the road conditions. If Mrs. Xu can help , I believe it will get twice the result with half the effort.”

Xu Zhiqian didn't dare to say it: "You want me to help you?"

There was a burst of frustration in her heart, can't you feel my hostility?

Zhang Fei tilted his head slightly and said, "Miss Xu can also think that this is to drive me out of here as soon as possible."

Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "I will take you there tomorrow."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Thank you."

In fact, Zhang Fei didn't want to continue living in Xu Zun's house. Although he couldn't leave Xu Zun for the time being, it didn't mean he had to live in Xu Zun's house, especially because the mistress didn't like him.

But he didn't just go out to find a job. He wanted to start his own business. Although the official documents were settled, he still had to learn about the market, what the rules were, how much the rent was, and so on.

So this is a process, and it will take some time. Zhang Fei was worried that Xu Zhiqian thought he was deliberately delaying the time and would not leave, so he simply asked her to go with him.

Anyway, Xu Zhiqian wished that he would leave early, the demands of both parties were completely consistent, and this cooperation was a matter of course!
There is an acquaintance with it, and it will get twice the result with half the effort!

Kill two birds with one stone.

The next day.

In front of Xu Mansion.

Zhang Fei looked up at Xu Zhiqian who was riding on the horse, and saw that she was wearing a purple men's suit with black trim and narrow sleeves, and a white veiled hat covering half of her face, she looked so heroic.

Looking down at the cute little donkey in front of him, he suddenly put his arm on the donkey's back, raised his head and said to Xu Zhiqian: "Miss Xu, do you know that in the eyes of men, women should not ride horses, but ride horses?" donkey."

Xu Zhiqian glanced at him and said, "Why?"

Zhang Fei gestured with both hands and said, "Because the horse's back is wider."

Xu Zhiqian smiled contemptuously: "I heard from my father that you are eloquent, even if the Sima University was defeated by you, I thought you would say some profound remarks, so that I would give the horse to you willingly, now I see , that's all!"

After saying that, she clamped her slender legs and walked forward slowly.

Very stable!

The maid Qingmei and a follower followed closely behind.

"I've seen your long legs a long time ago, so there's no need to show off. Besides, I don't want to ride your horse or drive a Ferrari in the downtown area. I'm either pretending to be aggressive or stupid. Doesn't the little donkey smell good? No Listen to what the handsome guy said, the disadvantage is after marriage."

Zhang Fei pursed his lips relentlessly, rode on that cute little donkey, and followed.

Relatively speaking, the Northern Song Dynasty inherited the Tang system. Although the social atmosphere was not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty, it was still relatively open. On the road, many women were seen riding horses or donkeys. Boats shuttled in the river, and women could be heard faintly. Laughter.

In many stalls on the street, many women rolled up their sleeves, showing their white arms, greeting customers.

After walking for about half an hour, Xu Zhiqian brought Zhang Fei to the east gate of Xiangguo Temple.

It's really crowded and lively here.

Even forcing Xu Zhiqian to get off the horse, Zhang Fei quickly got off the donkey quilt. After all, he came here from Dengzhou and learned the second riding skill in his life, so he is not very skilled yet.

In case of a savage collision, wow. This lawsuit will have to be fought.

Suddenly hearing the sound of piano and laughter coming from the east, Zhang Fei looked around and couldn't help being refreshed, but saw that on the attic at the entrance of the alley, there were faintly a lot of women dancing and flirting, and some women were even sitting by the window with men. Laughing.!

"Could this be Momosong from the Song Dynasty, tsk tsk. The entrance of this monastery is Momosong. Our monks in the Song Dynasty are really happy! No wonder the only Song Dynasty monk I know is called Monk Hua."

Zhang Fei couldn't help feeling an urge to shave or become a monk, and when he saw Xu Zhiqian walking towards the street, he was taken aback for a moment, and hurried to catch up two steps, "Where are you going?"

Xu Zhiqian raised her head towards the street entrance and said, "The bookstores are all concentrated in that street."

Do you think I'm blind? That's obviously the place of fireworks, not to mention the daytime, I can recognize it even if it turns to ashes!This is a man's sixth sense.Zhang Fei expressed doubts: "Are those places bookstores?"

"The book shop is inside." After finishing speaking, Xu Zhiqian continued to walk forward.

What the hell?temple?Bookstore?brothel?Is there really such a wonderful combination?She didn't think I was handsome, brought me here, and then sold me to be a male prostitute?Zhang Fei's heart was beating a bit, he struggled for a moment, but still followed.

That is not a kind of livelihood!
