Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 270 send sheep into the tiger's mouth

The common people in the Northern Song Dynasty really changed their colors when they talked about service, and although Zhang Fei had filed several lawsuits about Yaqian service, he never thought that he would receive a notice of service one day.

What is my identity, Zhang San?
As the name suggests, the person who eats three meals has a father-in-law from Dali Temple.

Let me serve?

How can it be?

Zhang Fei came back to his senses, he didn't take it seriously at all, and slept very peacefully.

However.!

At noon the next day, Fan Li hurried to Zhang's house and told Zhang Fei a very bad news.

"no?"

Zhang Fei looked at Fan Li in surprise, "Why?"

Fan Li also looked at Zhang Fei with a confused face, shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Zhang Fei excitedly said, "Did you go?"

"I just came from Kaifeng Mansion." Fan Li spread his hands: "They just said no."

Zhang Fei pulled him, and said in a low voice: "Aren't you stuffing enough?"

Fan Li groaned: "This is your business. I don't dare to be careless. I gave him a piece of silver, but they took the money and told me that it still can't be done."

"Didn't you say before that this is a trivial matter?"

"It's a small matter."

Fan Li nodded: "My family has always done this. I have never served in the military, and neither has the dog. I don't know why, but they just won't let you pay for exemption."

Zhang Fei said: "Then I will hire someone to serve on my behalf."

"It doesn't work either." Fan Li said: "After the people in Kaifeng Mansion took my money, they made it very clear that there was an order from above, you must go to serve in person."

"I see."

Zhang Fei couldn't help being angry, "I see, they are taking revenge, and they are taking revenge on me."

Fan Li nodded and said: "I think so too, Saburo, this Yaqian is terrible, they are going to punish you to death."

Zhang Fei panicked, "No, I have to go to them for an explanation."

He rushed out of the door, got into the carriage, and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion.

This time, the messengers at the gate of Kaifeng Mansion didn't stop Zhang Fei, they all greeted him with smiles.

"Zhang Daer pen, please come inside."

"Wait a minute."

Seeing how polite they were, Zhang Fei immediately felt like a grand banquet, "Everyone, don't you stop me?"

The poor brother smiled and said: "What to stop, we will be walking together soon."

The four poor brothers all showed sinister smiles.

I cao!Falling into your hands, do I still have a way out?Zhang Fei quickly entered the door.

"Hey! Zhang Daer's pen is here."

Li Kai was also uncharacteristically, when he saw Zhang Fei, he seemed extremely happy, and when he saw Zhang Fei, he wanted to salute, so he hurriedly said: "No need to be too polite! No need to be too polite!"

The corners of Zhang Fei's mouth twitched, he lowered his hands and asked, "Li Tongpan, everyone can spend money to be exempted from military service, why can't I?"

Li Kai snorted and said: "Who told you that everyone can spend money to be exempted from military service, you find this person, I will ask, those who can spend money to be exempted from military service, either have difficulties in their families, or their talents are not competent, Therefore, hiring someone to do it will help the government even more. If you can help the Kaifeng government hire a Zhang Daer pen, I will allow you to spend money to exempt from military service."

The corners of Zhang Fei's eyebrows twitched, and he lowered his eyebrows and said: "Li Tongpan, don't say these polite words between us, you are a public revenge."

Li Kai laughed and said: "Then you go and sue me! Aren't you very good at suing officials?"

".!"

How to sue?

Although the imperial court has regulations in this regard, in some cases, it is possible to spend money to exempt from military service. This is not considered bribery, but in the end it depends on whether the government agrees or not.

Many people want to spend money to be exempted from military service, but the government still doesn't allow it.

This will not form a system until after Wang Anshi's reform.

Huang Gui on the side couldn't help but joked: "Zhang San! We belong to the same family, we don't enter the same family! Haha! You like our Kaifeng mansion so much, and now that your wish is fulfilled, you shouldn't be happy ?"

Li Kai nodded straightly and said: "Master Huang is right."

Zhang Fei saw that the two were working hand in hand, and knew that it would be useless to beg them.

Not much to say, and leave immediately.

After leaving Kaifeng Mansion, he immediately went to find Wang Anshi.

"Scholar Wang Da, you have to be the master for me! If it weren't for the sake of Grand Scholar Wang, I wouldn't have offended the Kaifeng Mansion, and now he uses the Yaqian Gonggong to avenge his personal revenge, I, I...!"

Zhang Fei cried miserably with tears and snot in his nose.

What are you talking about, I just filed a few lawsuits, and you have offended people a long time ago.Wang Anshi disagreed: "It's unreasonable, how dare they do this, don't worry, I will help you, you go back and wait for the news."

"Thank you, Senior Scholar Wang, thank you Senior Scholar Wang."

After getting out of the palace, Zhang Fei thought, there are more people who hate me in this court than in Kaifeng. After all, Wang Anshi is only the leader of the reformist faction, and the opposition will definitely kill me. No, I have to go to Sima University scholar.

MD!

I eat three meals, if you want to mess with me, just dream.

To be on the safe side, Zhang Fei ran to look for Sima Guang again.

"service?"

Sima Guang stroked his beard and said, "Everyone here needs to serve, you."

Have you served it?
Zhang Fei immediately glanced at Sima Guang.

Sima Guang said again: "Of course, Jinshi is not required."

".!"

All right!You are ruthless!Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Scholar Sima, I'm so busy, I don't have the time to serve in the military, but it's not that I don't intend to fulfill this obligation, I'm willing to hire someone to go for me, I'll hire two, no, I'll hire five people for the head office.

But the Kaifeng Mansion appointed me to go there in person, which is clearly aimed at me, public revenge! "

Sima Guang nodded: "Okay, I'll go and ask for you, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Zhang Fei repeatedly cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Sima University, thank you, Sima University."

With the Gemini BUFF bonus, Zhang Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't intend to ask Xu Zun for help in this matter, just discuss the matter, this is indeed his obligation, and it is not considered unfair treatment at present, if Xu Zun helps him, it may be using the public to seek personal gain.

But when he got home, he still told Xu Zun.

It's really inconvenient for Xu Zun to say anything more, he just comforted Zhang Fei, if the Kaifeng Mansion wanted to avenge their private revenge publicly, then he would never let the Kaifeng Mansion succeed.

The implication is that if the Kaifeng Mansion is a matter of justice, then it is really difficult for him to say anything.

On the second day, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang actually went to work and helped Zhang Fei to ask why Zhang Fei was not allowed to spend money to be exempted from military service, or hire someone to serve on his behalf. You Kaifeng Mansion has to give an explanation.

But the result is a raging public opinion.

It's okay if they don't ask, all the officials know about this question.

It is dancing happily.

Whoops!

Oh my god!O earth!
What kind of genius came up with this idea.

It was wonderful.

Zhang Fei must serve in this battle.

No matter how much money he spends, he is not allowed to escape from the army.

It's not a day or two since they hated Zhang San.

After finally catching him once, we must never let him go!
The admonisher Yushi yelled, saying that whoever dares to exempt Zhang Fei from military service will definitely impeach him until he dies.

Many officials and scholar-bureaucrats even ran to Kaifeng Mansion and told Li Kai, don't be afraid, Wang Anshi will be stopped by us, and you can just fix it.

Dali Temple.

"Xu Si, you have also seen it, I have tried my best, but."

Wang Anshi said to Xu Zun with a face of shame.

Sima Guang who was on the side also stroked his beard and sighed: "This is a trivial matter, but after all, the Kaifeng Mansion is following the rules. Those people will not let go, and we are helpless!"

How could Xu Zun not know that the commotion was so fierce, and it was indeed no wonder the two of them, those admonishers and censors really treated Zhang Fei like a prime minister.

Usually only when the prime minister is impeached, they will be so crazy.

Xu Zun suggested in a low voice: "Can you recommend Zhang San to be an official, so as to avoid it."

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang looked at each other.

Wang Anshi said: "Even if the two of us recommend it and the officials agree, it may be too late. They will definitely find a way to delay it. Now in the court, but only the two of us support Zhang San, including Lu Huiqing. Three."

Xu Zun sighed, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you serve in the military, I'm afraid they will avenge themselves publicly."

Sima Guang immediately said: "Then I don't think they dare. After all, Zhang San is your Xu Zhongtu's son-in-law. Having said that, if Zhang San is really wronged, he won't have the temperament to swallow his anger."

Xu Zun said again: "Zhang San is thin and weak, and has never done much work, but he can't do any hard labor."

Wang Anshi couldn't help frowning.

Sima Guang immediately said: "I have inquired very clearly that the reason for the Kaifeng government's refusal is that Zhang Fei has a special talent, which is lacking in the government, so he cannot be let go. If this is the case, he must be asked to do work related to the law. .”

"Yes, yes, you are right." Wang Anshi nodded straightly, and said: "If the Kaifeng government dares to let Zhang Fei do things outside the law, we must impeach the Kaifeng government."

Xu Zun thought to himself, it is not impossible to do legal work.He asked again, "How long has this been in service?"

Wang Anshi immediately said: "It won't be long. As soon as my new law comes out, I can spend money to be exempted from military service. It will only be an autumn at most."

Sima Guang glanced at Wang Anshi without hesitation, and murmured in his heart, saying that it's all about Zhang Fei, why did you bring up the new law again?

Although Xu Zun was not an honest person, he never expected that Sima Guang would work hand in hand with Wang Anshi to trick Zhang Fei together.

This is impossible.

He can only blame his son-in-law for being too arrogant in court and accumulating too many enemies.

Back home, Xu Zun told Zhang Fei about it.

After Zhang Fei heard this, he felt inconceivable: "Scholar Wang and Sima couldn't help me get rid of this yamen servant?"

Xu Zun sighed: "Inside and outside the court, except for the two of them, all the ministers support the Kaifeng government, and they are alone!"

Zhang Fei felt dizzy when he heard this, "Father-in-law, if I fall into their hands, then I am finished!"

Xu Zhiqian also realized that something was wrong, and said: "Yes! Daddy, from top to bottom in Kaifeng Mansion, there is no one who does not hate Zhang San."

Xu Zundao: "That's not the case. I discussed with Wang Jiefu and Sima Junshi to ensure that you will not be wronged, and you are also engaged in some legal work, and the time limit is only one season."

Zhang Fei was still a little reluctant, this must be sending a sheep to a tiger's mouth, and said: "How about I go talk to the officials."

Xu Zun thought for a while, "If the officials intervene in such a small matter, I'm afraid it will arouse everyone's suspicion and reveal your relationship with the officials."

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly.

His relationship with Zhao Xu is a very crucial card, which cannot be easily exposed.

Xu Zun said again: "As a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, you should do something for the country. In fact, I have always hoped that you can use your talents to serve the country. Although what this Yaqian officer can do is limited, But I believe you can do better, too."

After Zhang Fei heard this, he knew that this matter would definitely not get away, and said: "If you are engaged in legal work, I can help a little bit, but I am afraid they will let me pick up shit, then...!"

Xu Zundao: "Don't worry, it's absolutely impossible. The reason they refused to spend money on your exemption is that you have special talents. The work they asked you to do must be related to the law. I guess it was some clerical work in the Department of Records. .”

Zhang Fei sighed, and said to himself, you are ruthless, this time I will admit defeat, after I finish my service, if I don't turn your Kaifeng mansion upside down, I will not believe Zhang.
