That day, Lu Gong went to find Wang Anshi and informed him about the leaking roof of Sanbu Gouyuan.

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

Seeing that Wang Anshi was still in the mood to joke, Lu Gong asked, "Do you already know this, or have you known this for a long time?"

Wang Anshi did not answer but asked: "As the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, why don't you find out the truth and then tell me?"

Lu Gongzhe sighed: "An experienced detective will not force a criminal into a desperate situation."

Wang Anshi looked at Lu Gong and said, "If I were going to play tricks on them, I would not choose to take it to court. Let them do whatever they want."

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

Wang Anshi stood up and bowed, saying, "Anyway, thank you Uncle Hui for coming to tell me."

"This is all I can do." Lu Gong bowed, smiled apologetically, and left.

He had a vague feeling that the other party might have tampered with the accounts, but if he pursued the matter, it might be a fight to the death for the other party, and God knew what the other party would do.

...

...

This could get out of hand.

The key point is that there are quite a few people involved, and they are all from key departments of the court. If we investigate, we may not be able to find evidence.

After thinking it over, Lu Gong decided to inform Wang Anshi first to see what Wang Anshi's plan was. After all, Wang Anshi was the biggest victim in this matter.

Wang Anshi's attitude also made him feel a little relieved.

As soon as Lu Gong left, Lu Huiqing arrived.

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

"Master, this is definitely not a coincidence. They must have tampered with the accounts."

Lu Huiqing said worriedly.

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

Lu Huiqing asked, "I wonder what Kaifeng Prefecture is going to do?"

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

"ah?"

Lu Huiqing was shocked. "How can this be possible? This is not fair to us!"

Wang Anshi pondered in silence.

After seeing this, Lu Huiqing asked again, "Master, do you have a solution?"

Wang Anshi said, "Wait."

"wait?"

"Um."

The Imperial Palace.

"I am here to see Your Majesty."

Lan Yuanzhen came into the house and bowed.

Zhao Xu said: "I heard that the roof of Gouyuan was leaking, causing many account books to be damaged."

Lan Yuanzhen hurriedly explained: "I just learned about this as well."

Zhao Xu said, "Regarding the tax evasion case, the Gouyuan has important evidence. I don't want anything to go wrong. You go and ask about it immediately. Also, send someone to keep an eye on it to make sure there are no more omissions."

"I obey your command."

Wang Anshi had been sitting in the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures waiting. No one knew what he was waiting for until the office was dismissed, when he left the room.

Seeing that Wang Anshi looked relaxed, Lu Huiqing was confused but did not ask any more questions.

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

Because he knew the importance of this lawsuit to Zhao Xu. If Zhao Xu summoned him, he would think of a countermeasure. If not, there was only one possibility, that is, Zhao Xu had already prepared. After all, this was the imperial city, and Zhao Xu was the biggest master here, not the officials of the Three Departments.

Wen Yanbo came to the government hall and asked Sima Guang, "Do you know about the water leakage in the Gouyuan?"

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

“As expected.”

Wen Yanbo shook his head and sighed, "This isn't the first time this has happened."

Sima Guang smiled bitterly and said, "Since this is all within everyone's expectations, it is normal. It all depends on how Wang Jiefu and the others respond."

Wen Yanbo nodded slightly and said, "Fortunately, Kaifeng Prefecture was relatively calm this time and did not immediately send anyone to investigate the matter. If Kaifeng Prefecture intervened immediately, the lawsuit would definitely not be won, and the matter would become more complicated, and anything could happen."

Sima Guang sighed: "It takes a long time for the ice to freeze three feet thick!"

Zhang family.

"Why are you two here?"

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

"Just ask him."

Cao Dongdong glanced at Ma Xiaoyi and continued eating.

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

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

Cao Dongdong turned around and looked at Zhang Fei with disdain.

Zhang Fei asked with a guilty conscience: "Why is Yanei looking at me like this?"

"Nothing."

Cao Dongdong continued to peel the orange and started eating.

Ma Xiaoyi sighed, "Why else? My father said he would not let me go to court with you. He also said that if I wanted to go, he would send someone to arrest me and would not even let me watch the lawsuit."

Zhang Fei remained silent for a long time. After a while, he sighed and said, "If that's the case, let's work together next time."

As he said this, he patted Ma Xiaoyi on the shoulder.

Seeing that they had finished talking, Cao Dongdong suddenly said, "Zhang San, although Xiao Ma cannot go to class with you, we still have other ways to support you."

Zhang Fei subconsciously asked: "What method?"

Cao Dongdong said, "You don't know that a few days ago, many people didn't think highly of you. Let's be the banker with Xiao Ma and lower your odds to 21, and then raise the odds of the other party by up to five times. We believe you will win."

Ma Xiaoyi nodded and said, "But recently, more and more people are betting on the other side. We have collected more than 8,000 strings of cash now."

Zhang Fei blinked his eyes. You two little brats, why didn’t you involve me in this lucrative business? I won’t do this. I’m really short of money now!

His eyes turned, and he couldn't help but said with a moved face: "Yanei, Xiao Ma, you guys are so loyal. How can I, Zhang San, be able to befriend you two?"

Cao Dongdong's eyes rolled, "Then you have to win this lawsuit, otherwise we will have to pay tens of thousands of strings of cash."

He came here today just to test Zhang Fei's attitude.

At first he was just speaking out of impulse, but he didn't expect more and more people to come and place bets.

Zhang Fei was surprised: "So many?"

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

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Third brother, you are not even afraid of Fan Sijian, so how can you be afraid of that little ear pen?"

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

After hearing this, Cao Dongdong felt a chill in his heart.

"But don't worry."

Zhang Fei patted Cao Dongdong's shoulder with one hand and Ma Xiaoyi's shoulder with the other, and said, "We three brothers share happiness and difficulties together. I will shoulder them with you."

Ma Xiaoyi, a man of great righteousness, nodded with tears in his eyes.

Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "What's the point of talking about loyalty? The key is that you have to win this lawsuit!"

Zhang Fei immediately said: "Of course I am sure to win, but I may also lose. You set the multiplier so high, the risk is too high."

Cao Dongdong panicked: "What should I do?"

Zhang Fei said, "Close your bank first, and the three of us will open another bank. I will raise my bet a little higher, and lower the other party's bet a little lower. A difference of two or three times will be enough."

"What's the use of this?" Cao Dongdong asked with a confused look on his face.

Zhang Fei sighed: "Don't you understand this? This may cause more people to suppress me, so that it can be balanced and the loss will not be too big."

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

Zhang Fei asked: "What if I win?"

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

"This is not safe either. We have already collected several thousand strings of cash."

Cao Dongdong's eyes turned and he said, "How about this, you give some guarantees, and we'll get more people in, Xiaochun, Fan Dalang, then if we spread it out evenly, there won't be much money, but you have to say a few harsh words so that we can cheat them."

Wow, I have to be careful of this kid from now on. He stabbed my brothers without blinking an eye. Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong in surprise.

Ma Xiaoyi said: "But no, that would be so disloyal."

Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly and said, "Xiao Ma is right. Let's do this three brothers. If we win, we will celebrate together. If we lose, we will bear the consequences together. There is nothing to be afraid of."

Cao Dongdong was still a little hesitant.

I just want to be crazy, I don’t want to bear any responsibility.

Ma Xiaoyi said to Cao Dongdong again: "Brother, what are you afraid of? If we lose, we can deny the debt with our third brother here."

Zhang Fei was shocked. "Xiao Ma, where did you get this from?"

Ma Xiaoyi said, "Third brother, if we can't pay the compensation, we can only sue. You must have a solution, right?"

"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 smile: "You should have said it earlier. Okay, let's do it. Don't change the multiple, just this multiple.

number. "

Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "No, no, no, if you don't change, I won't be able to share the joys and sorrows with you. Close that farm and the three of us will open another one."

Ma Xiaoyi said casually: "Just listen to Third Brother, the three of us will open a new village."

Cao Dongdong chuckled and said, "As long as I can default on my debt, I don't care."

The two guys listened to Zhang Fei's advice and opened another casino, lowering the odds of both sides a little closer. Their original intention was to get fewer people to buy, but the result was that more people came to buy from them, and almost all of them bet on the seven big tea eaters.

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

The two idiots, Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi, were completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Wouldn't it be more balanced?

It turned out that the news of the brothel leaked out, and the playboys in the capital overheard some of the news.

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

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

Not to mention the playboys, even many gambling houses come here to place bets.

This frenzied gambling behavior also made this lawsuit a focus of national attention, no, it should be said that it attracted the participation of the entire nation.

finally!

After everyone’s long anticipation, the day of the trial finally arrived.

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

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

After tying her hair, Gao Wenyin took out a battle robe from the closet.

"Huh?"

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

Gao Wenyin said hurriedly, "I embroidered it on my own initiative. If Sanlang doesn't like it, I'll go get another one."

“No, no, no!”

Zhang Fei quickly took it and tried it on himself. "This is even more handsome. Madam is really clever and skillful. I like this design very much."

"It's fine as long as Sanlang likes it." Gao Wenyin's cheeks flushed slightly, her beautiful eyes flickered, and she hesitated to say, "But."

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 finish embroidering another one before the next lawsuit."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's worth wearing such a beautiful dress a few more times." Zhang Fei gestured and liked it more and more the more he looked at it.

Gao Wenyin's eyes flashed with joy, and she said, "Then I will embroider another one as soon as possible."

"No need to rush, it's so tiring!" As he said this, Zhang Fei just caught the smug look on Gao Wenyin's face through the bronze mirror, thinking, Oh my! I've been fooled! I didn't expect this woman's methods to be so powerful that even I fell for her.

It turned out that Gao Wenyin would change her robes for a new one every time Zhang Fei had a lawsuit, but those robes that had been worn once looked no different from new ones. She was used to being thrifty, so she felt distressed.

But she didn't dare say it out loud, so she came up with this idea.

Zhang Fei did not point it out to her. He changed into a new battle robe, put on a hat, inserted a short pen, and went out.

"Why are you always like this, eh, your robe?"

Xu Zhiqian was about to complain when she saw a white eagle embroidered from Zhang Fei's left shoulder to his left chest, and she was stunned.

Zhang Fei said proudly: "This is my new battle robe. Isn't it handsome?"

Xu Zhiqian said unhappily, "We are going to a lawsuit, not to a banquet, why are you dressed like this?"

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said, "Mrs. Xu, please don't blame Sanlang. I embroidered this on my own initiative."

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

Zhang Fei raised his hand to stop him and argued with Xu Zhiqian: "My lawsuit is different from others. My business is art. A fine robe is very necessary. But you, still wear this old one. I'll have someone make you another one later. This one is no longer worthy of me."

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes and said, "Please don't do this. I won't wear it even if you do it. It's a complete waste of money."

She is completely opposite to Zhang Fei. She needs to be low-key, not high-key.

As usual, after a quarrel, the two left the house.

It was pitch black outside.

Zhang Fei looked at Xu Zhiqian with a smug look on his face, "Now you know why I have to wear this new uniform! Because I have to consider the attention of everyone."

Xu Zhiqian said: "Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

Just as he was about to get on the carriage, he heard someone yelling, "Zhang San, San Lang, San Ge, you must lose this time! I'm betting all my belongings on you losing."

"Hey young!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was distracted for a moment and almost fell off the carriage again. Fortunately, Long Wu was quick-witted and hugged him and pushed him into the carriage.

This accident caused a lot of discussion among the crowd again.

"Look, Zhang San is not in good shape and almost didn't get on the carriage."

"It seems that Zhang San also knows that he is in great danger!"

"Oh, young! This is really great."
