This lawsuit is really thunderous, rainy, and anticlimactic. At first, the tone was so high, but in the end it turned out to be just a corruption case.
Those ministers wished they could tell Zhang Fei directly that your trick of asking for a lot of money and repaying the money on the spot is really good, don't use it next time.
Everything is negotiable.
However, they still don't understand Zhang Fei. For Zhang Fei, a lawsuit is never about victory or defeat, but about rights and interests.
Zhang Fei doesn't really care if he wins or loses as long as he can get the best interests for the parties involved.
Of course, when filing a lawsuit in the Northern Song Dynasty, one more consideration was one's own safety.
He may not win this lawsuit, but he must not lose it. If he loses, he may face very serious consequences.
Erbi is a very dangerous profession.
So after Zhang Fei communicated, the Kaifeng government released Niu Beiqing, Feng Nanxi, and Longshan on the spot, and immediately returned the house and land of the historian. The contract is void.
As for the return of the historian's money and the [-] guan, they will also be returned immediately. With the usual efficiency of the Song court, this matter cannot be done every year and a half. Of course, this is a shortcut.
And when Zhang Fei took Feng Nanxi and the other three, as well as the official document home, Gao Wenyin, who had been terrified for many days, couldn't help crying with joy.
It can be regarded as looking forward to seeing the moon when the clouds open.
The heart that had been hanging all this time finally fell.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I hope Mrs. Gao will stop frowning in the future."
Gao Wenyin was startled, her tears stopped, and she was relieved to hear that he had changed her name, and said guiltily: "I have caused a lot of trouble to my benefactor these days, Wen Yin hereby thank you benefactor for your kindness." Forgiving and caring."
A pair of watery almond eyes gathered tears again, but this time I was grateful for the tears.
Zhang Fei just smiled and said, "This is my job. I save [-] people like you every year."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes, this person can really brag.
But it didn't break him.
After all, it's harmless!
At this time, that Niu Beiqing suddenly squeezed forward, cupped his fists and saluted, "Back then, I, Da Niu, couldn't see Mount Tai and offended my benefactor, but fortunately, my benefactor ignored the previous suspicions and helped us get rid of our grievances. My Da Niu is here Make an apology to benefactor. If benefactor has anything to do in the future, even if you tell me, Da Niu, even if you go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of fire, I will never frown."
Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "There is no need to go up the mountain of knives or down into the sea of fire. I just hope that I will be able to save my life when I encounter you blocking the road and robbing me in the future."
Niu Beiqing scratched his head in embarrassment, "I'll just tell you, how...how can I be a robber."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If you don't become a robber, you will really bury your talent."
Shi Tingxiu laughed out loud.
Zhang Fei glanced at Feng Nanxi suddenly, seeing that she had been silent all this time, and suddenly asked, "That's right! What are your plans now?"
They all looked at Feng Nanxi in unison.
Just now, Feng Nanxi kept silent, as if she was preoccupied. Seeing Zhang Fei's eyes, she opened her mouth and asked instead: "Dare to ask your benefactor, is Judge Liu really the culprit?"
This sentence made their hearts lift up.
"about this issue.!"
Zhang Fei frowned: "Actually, I also asked the prefect of Lu, but the clues have been cut off here, and the prefect of Lu also believes that this official bank is not much, and it is unlikely that more people will be involved, or more people will be involved. official."
Feng Nanxi still expressed doubts: "I have been in the government office before, and I am very clear about this. Even if Mrs. Liu is really the culprit behind the scenes, we have offended many people because of this. Will we suffer retaliation in the future?"
As Gao Wenyin listened, she became nervous again, "Seventh brother, this... this shouldn't be possible, right?"
Feng Nanxi frowned and said, "Even if they don't dare to act rashly for the time being, who can guarantee that they won't retaliate against us after this turmoil is over. After all, we are just ordinary people, and we can't beat them."
Xu Zhiqian at the side glanced at Zhang Fei secretly, and suddenly said: "Zhang San, I think Brother Feng Qi is right, can you find a way to protect them?"
Zhang Fei said depressedly: "How can I protect this? I'm just a person with a pen. The only thing I can do is to help them win this lawsuit. It's not easy to be able to do this."
Feng Nanxi hurriedly said: "Engong, I'm definitely not blaming Engong. I have nothing to repay Engong for our great kindness. I'm just worried about it."
Xu Zhiqian said again: "I have an idea, I wonder if it works?"
Gao Wenyin hurriedly said, "What is Mrs. Xu's idea?"
Xu Zhiqian suddenly looked at Feng Nanxi, "Brother Feng Qi, what are your plans for the future?"
Feng Nanxi shook her head and said, "I don't have any plans for now, but I hope Mrs. Xu can point out a clear way for us?"
Xu Zhiqian said to Zhang Fei again: "Zhang San, don't you need helpers right now? Why don't you just keep them, with you here, the government will not dare to take revenge on them easily."
Feng Nanxi and Shi Tingxiu couldn't help looking at Zhang Fei expectantly.
After this case, they cast all their hearts on Zhang Fei, and they really used the toilet of Kaifeng Mansion.
It would be best to stay by his side.
Zhang Fei hesitated for a while and asked, "Would you like to...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Feng Nanxi and Shi Tingxiu clasped their fists and said, "Our brothers are willing to be driven by benefactor and repay benefactor for saving his life."
Niu Beiqing, who was belatedly aware of it, also clasped his fists together.
Only Longshan remained silent.
"Okay then! You stay here."
As he spoke, Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Gao Wenyin again.
"I."
Gao Wenyin seemed a little hesitant.
She originally wanted to go with her deceased husband, but later she promised Zhang Fei that she would not seek death again, but she didn't think about the future, and she didn't know what to do.
But after thinking about it, Zhang Fei has great kindness to her, and now he is willing to take in Shi Tingxiu and the others. He is also very grateful in his heart. He only feels that he owes Zhang Fei too much, and hopes to pay back some, so he bows: "Wen Yin I would also like to be a servant of my benefactor, to repay my benefactor's kindness."
Zhang Fei said: "Actually, I really want to keep Mrs. Gao. Since Mrs. Gao came, my house has been taken care of in an orderly manner. If Mrs. Gao is willing to stay, I am also very happy. I am a slave and a handmaid. You can do it yourself, Mrs. Gao. It can be done, but on the surface, can we continue to maintain the relationship between husband and wife?"
"what?"
Gao Wenyin blushed, looking a little uneasy.
Zhang Fei hurriedly explained: "It's my fault too. Back then those people came to congratulate me and said that it was a good story for me to embrace a beautiful woman in quatrains. I also followed their words and said a few outrageous words. Knowing the truth, I'm afraid they will laugh at me all day long."
Gao Wenyin was very conflicted, and secretly took a look at Shi Tingxiu.
Shi Tingxiu didn't know what to do.
Xu Zhiqian suddenly said: "Sister Gao, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Gao Wenyin hurriedly said, "Madam Xu, please tell me?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "I just think that in the eyes of others, you are already Madam Zhang, and as far as they know, Zhang San is also seeking justice for Madam, if Madam suddenly reveals that all this is false.
I'm afraid that someone will slander Madam with bad words, saying that Madam is just using Zhang San, which will be more troublesome.Now that Madam has decided to stay in the Zhang family, instead of letting go of this identity, it is better to put it aside first, so as not to cause complications. "
However, Gao Wenyin's heart is still in the historian's house. According to etiquette, this matter should be decided by Shi Tingxiu.
Shi Tingxiu had no idea, it was really difficult for him in this matter, so he looked at Feng Nanxi.
Feng Nanxi very much agrees with Xu Zhiqian's point of view, no matter what the facts are, in the eyes of everyone, Gao Wenyin is already Mrs. Zhang, and if she goes back, it will damage Gao Wenyin's reputation and cause a lot of trouble.
Shi Tingxiu nodded slightly.
Only then did Gao Wenyin say: "Okay! Just... just as En Gong said."
After they went out, Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Xu Zhiqian and said, "I really thank Mrs. Xu just now."
Xu Zhiqian snorted softly: "Even if I don't make a sound, they don't dare to leave you, just like Li Si back then. The key point I think is that they stay by your side, which is good for both you and them. And it can also let you You owe me a favor, Zhang Sanlang is not so easy to get now."
Zhang Fei hehe said: "I owe you Xu's family favors, I'm afraid I won't be able to pay in this life, so why bother Mrs. Xu?"
"It's owed to my father, not to me." Xu Zhiqian said.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Okay! Just treat it as if I owe you a favor."
Xu Zhiqian's guess was right. Zhang Fei had already thought about keeping these people by his side, but he knew that these people couldn't do without him. Feng Nanxi's worries were not unreasonable. Many people in this command had suffered heavy losses. , if there is a chance, the government will definitely retaliate against them.
There is no way to take Zhang San, I am afraid it is you Shi Er.
So he was very magnanimous at the beginning.
Three days later, the Kaifeng government finally announced the result of the case.
Avoid the serious and ignore the minor, don't talk about the law of the ancestors, but inform the citizens of the case, and announce the punishment of Liu Jing and others, and they will be punished even if they die.
At the same time, he said that he would immediately return all the property of the historian, and inform the people that the emperor's decree that this year the court will reform the labor law, so as to prevent such evils from happening again.
The people in Kaifeng Mansion wept with joy and rushed to tell each other.
On that day, Wang Anshi surpassed Zhang Fei and became the number one on the hot list.
Almost no one mentioned Zhang Fei.
After all, the ass decides the head, and the people also know that Zhang Fei can only save his family at most, and the one who can really avenge the world has to be the real man Wang Anshi!
In the previous debate, everyone knew that Wang Anshi was going to reform.
The people are looking forward to it.
In this lawsuit, Wang Anshi won a complete victory.
It laid a very, very wonderful start for his reform.
The point is that this also indicates that the reform is irreversible.
If it does not change, the people will lose their trust.
It can be seen that Shenzong's determination to break the boat.
Hanging Palace.
It is not Wang Anshi who stands here today, but Sima Guang.
"I have decided to use Wang Jiefu's reform."
Zhao Xu said with a little guilt.
Sima Guang and Wang Anshi both proposed reform strategies, and for Shenzong, it was one of the two.
Now he has chosen Wang Anshi.
Sima Guang sighed secretly in his heart, but said: "Your Majesty has the heart to strive for governance, which is the blessing of my people in the Great Song Dynasty."
In fact, he is not opposed to Wang Anshi's reform now, he is just worried, because he understands Wang Anshi's temperament, now that the matter is over, let's give it a try.
It is not known whether it is a mule or a horse.
Zhao Xu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Your talent is also what I need, and I also hope that you can try my best to help me govern the country well. Then Lu Zhongcheng was ill, and he also took the initiative to play and said that it would be difficult to receive Yushitai again. I plan to Jia Shengqing is in charge of political affairs and leads the Yushitai."
Although nominally, the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty were under Tong Zhongshu's sect, but since Renzong, Shen Zhizhengshi has gradually become the real prime minister, and Tong Zhongshu's peace has become an honorary title.
No need to think about it, Wang Anshi will also be promoted to be a political adviser at that time.
This is the emperor's mind.
Zhao Xu's trust in Wang Anshi is beyond doubt, but as an emperor, he still has to balance the situation in the court.
Then Lu Hui was too straightforward. He launched a personal attack on Wang Anshi before, and he had already shown his personal dislike for Wang Anshi to the fullest.
Everyone in the court knew that Lu He hated Wang Anshi very much.
And Yushitai is cursing.
It is impossible for Zhao Xu to let Lu Hui continue to serve as Yushi Zhongcheng. Although Lu Hui is indeed ill, he did not resign on his own initiative, but Zhao Xu gave him a hint that if you don't leave by yourself, I will also drive you away .
On the contrary, Sima Guang never publicly expressed his opposition to Wang Anshi's reform, and it was reasonable for him to compete with Wang Anshi.
Shenzong hoped to put Sima Guang in power and appease the conservatives.
Let's not make trouble first, and put the national interest first.
Sima Guang pondered a little, and said: "Your Majesty Long En, I am very grateful, and I also hope to continue to assist the Holy King, but I have other ideas."
Zhao Xu hurriedly asked, "What do you think?"
Sima Guangdao: "Recently, I was inspired by these few lawsuits and found that whether the country's policies are good or bad, they are ultimately reflected in the people. If there are bad policies, they will eventually be put into lawsuits. Therefore, I hope to be tried by the Criminal Court." , start from the smallest details, and assist His Majesty in governing the country."
At present, among the judicial and legislative departments, the Trial Court has the greatest power. The power of the Trial Court comes from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and it has both legislative and judicial powers.
Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, Wang Anshi was in charge of the overall situation, and Sima Guang was in charge of the subtleties. The big and small ones were appropriate and in line with their personalities, so he said, "I am deeply moved by Qing's hard work."
At this point, he paused for a while, "It's just the position of the imperial censor Zhongcheng?"
Regarding the position of Censor Zhongcheng, he will definitely arrange for conservatives to take over. As the emperor, no matter how much he trusts a courtier, he will still keep a few hands.
If Yushitai is controlled by Wang Anshi's people, then who will monitor Wang Anshi?
Sima Guang had expected it a long time ago, but he originally planned to let Lu Heo continue to serve, but he never thought that Lu Heo's upright temper was not guarded.
However, he has already thought of another candidate, "I suggest that Duke Wen be the candidate."
The Duke Wen he was referring to was naturally Wen Yanbo. Now Wen Yanbo is at home half-idle, one emperor and one courtier. When Shenzong came to the throne, he stepped back and was replaced by Chen Shengzhi.
And Chen Shengzhi was recommended by Wang Anshi.
He also heard Sima Guang say: "Mr. Wen is very wise and brave. He is considerate of Zhou Zao. He is familiar with the law and understands human relationships. He once served as a censor. He is more suitable than a minister to be the censor Zhongcheng."
Zhao Xu nodded slightly, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
After all, Wen Yanbo's status is higher than Wang Anshi's, and he has already been a prime minister. If he leads the Yushitai, it will be self-defeating.
The key point is that there is still a chess piece that is uncertain.
