Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 228: Maybe this is life
Li Family 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 those officials 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 fuss all over.
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 did not defend Wei Yushan last time, so they were not right about Fan Sijian. Very trustworthy."
"That's true."
Tang Zi nodded and said: "I also went to see that lawsuit, Fan Sijian obviously had his own plans, which really can't be compared with us, we will definitely do our best after taking 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, don't tell him all the tricks. If there is still a lawsuit, Fan Chunren will just go and join them.
Fan Chunren does not have the professional ethics of an ear pen, 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 find an ear pen to do this kind of thing.
Fei Ming immediately turned his worries into joy, "Then this is a good opportunity for us. Now the ear pens are almost exclusively used by Zhang San. When it comes to ear pens, they only recognize Zhang San. If we can win If so, 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."
Maxing Street, which is also one of the busiest streets in Bianliang, Tokyo, is as lively as Bianhe Street, especially at night.
Just after another torrential rain passed, all shops hung up lanterns, and people came out of their houses 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."
"Let's go! Let's go and have a look."
I saw an alley full of people. When I got closer, there was a small shop inside. There were people crowded in front of the small shop. Dressed in Chinese clothes, the prince's yamen.
Under normal circumstances, it is almost impossible for the two to be squeezed into the same room.
Since ancient times, only gambling can break down all classes.
"What? The seven big tea eaters, one pays two, and Zhang Sanyi pays one?"
I saw a handsome boy standing in front of the shop, 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 and said, "Mr. Han, forgive me, because Zhang San has never lost, so the compensation is naturally less."
That son is really Han Qi's grandson, Han Pan.
"Really?"
Han Pan said: "I'm afraid 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 said with five fingers: "Five hundred guan."
As soon as the 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 tightly furrowed, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "You guys open the door to do business, there is nothing you dare not accept, at worst, you 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, brother and I support you."
I saw two youngsters getting in.
It is Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi.
Cao Dongdong put one hand on the young man's shoulder, "Xiaoqi, Zhang Sanyi pays one too much, so he will pay half. The seven big tea eaters, one pays five."
"Huh?"
The boy looked at Cao Dongdong in surprise, "Yanei, this is not allowed!"
Cao Dongdong said: "What are you afraid of? I am here, and I won't let you sell the shop. If you lose, I will win. If you win, I will pay 80%. How about you take 20%?"
The young man nodded happily after hearing this, 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 for one?"
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 five hundred guan is indeed a little less. I will bet one thousand 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 able to renege on this amount of money."
5 for 1?
If you don't want to fight, when will you wait.
The people behind rushed forward immediately.
"I'll bet on the seven major tea cannibals."
"I bet five coins."
"Five articles, no acceptance."
Cao Dongdong's face darkened.
"Huh?"
"Take it, take it."
The young man turned to Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi, "Ya Nei, brother Xiaoyi, let me do this kind of rough work, 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.
Actually, some people used this matter to sit in the bank before, and these gamblers are not stupid. Zhang Fei can attract hatred so much, and opening the bank will definitely attract people, but because of the previous few times, the opponent is Fan Chunren. They don't dare to sit in the manor openly, they just do it secretly.
But this time it's different, this time it's all ear pens and tea eaters.
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 all the time, sorting out the evidence with Xu Zhiqian, Gao Wenyin, and Feng Nanxi.
That's a little too much.
"It's shocking!"
Xu Zhiqian put down another account, "Based on the accounts we have reviewed so far, this tax evasion has already exceeded ten thousand yuan. If everyone pays taxes, the court will not be short of money, and it will not be forced Let those people pay more taxes."
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 are all hungry, and the people still have to pay what they should pay, and there won't be much improvement."
Xu Zhiqian said dejectedly: "After hearing what you said, what's the point of us filing this lawsuit?"
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The meaning is that let this hungry wolf turn its attention to those fat and big pigs first, and don't always stare at those skinny monkeys. What's the point of gnawing bones? Is it fragrant?"
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: "Then you can't say that."
Xu Zhiqian asked, "How do you say that?"
Zhang Fei didn't answer and asked instead: "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 finished."
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, let's not talk about it, the more I talk about it, the more angry I 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 were not good at dealing with them. "
Zhang Fei thought for a while, and said: "I can't say for sure, it depends on how those people above operate. The only thing I can be sure of is that they will definitely stick to the tenants and try to take all responsibilities away. Push it to the tenant farmers, 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: "It 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. The current law is completely biased towards the landlord. If the tenant farmers sue 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 Prefecture.
"Why did you come back empty-handed, where is the account book of the third division?"
Lv 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?"
Mr. Lu was confused when he heard this, "Don't tell me that the imperial city is flooded, bypassing all the ministries, and just washed away the Gouyuan."
"The magistrate was joking." Li Kai said awkwardly: "The flood is going to hit us first, Kaifeng Mansion, we are closer to the river."
Lu Gong wrote: "What does that have to do with this matter?"
Li Kai sighed: "The roof of 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 Gouyuan stores accounts to be infiltrated by rain, and many accounts have been soaked. Now that The sides are still being sorted out, and it will take a few days to deliver."
Mr. Lu was delighted to hear that, "This cat can trample on the roof, what an anecdote! Could it be that they misunderstood that it was 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 it is because after the third department learned that Wang Jiefu came to Kaifeng Mansion to file a complaint, he asked the Sanya to send people to strictly guard these accounts, so as not to There is an omission, no one has gone in these few days, and it has not been discovered."
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: "It should be there. I just found one or two books. There are quite a few pages. The words have become blurred, but I can still read them clearly."
"The class will be opened in a few days."
Lu Gong wrote and sighed: "You go to Gouyuan again and let them tidy up slowly. Don't worry. I'll send it on the day the hall opens. I don't bother to read it."
