After returning to Xu's house, Zhang Fei told Xu Zun and his daughter about his plan.

"well...."

Xu Zun stroked his beard and sighed, his face showing worry as he said, “There’s not much I can do to help you with this matter!”

He is not very good at this kind of political conspiracy, and deep down he doesn't want Zhang Fei to do this.

Xu Zhiqian knew what Xu Zun was worried about, so she took the initiative to say to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, this is not a case that has already happened, but something you have to plan. There will definitely be loopholes. The other party has all-powerful hands and eyes, and it is very likely that they will find the flaws. If that happens, it will be dangerous."

Xu Zun nodded calmly.

It is not illegal to lose the lawsuit, and Xu Zun can save Zhang Fei's life. However, if he uses this method and is caught by the other party, Xu Zun will not be able to save him.

Zhang Fei explained: "I didn't plan it. I don't have the ability to do it. It was planned by Wang Daxueshi. I was only responsible for providing ideas. The case must have happened. There is no need to make it up. Because tax evasion is everywhere nowadays, but no one has investigated it. As long as it is brought to court, that's what I am good at."

Xu Zun said: "But what you got was just pure revenge. I still hope you can seek justice through the law. Once you use conspiracy and trickery, the other party will not fight with you in court."

He also agreed with the means, for example, when Zhang Fei took revenge on Wang Wenshan, he supported it because Zhang Fei achieved his goal through continuous appeals.

...

...

Zhang Fei said confidently: "I am doing this for justice."

"Yeah?"

Xu Zun looked at him puzzledly.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "This case cannot end with a beating, because if I do, it will be difficult for me to go to court to argue again, and they will use the beating to deal with me. Then they will think, what's the big deal about beating me, will the court punish officials for a secret?"

Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly and glanced at Xu Zun secretly again.

Zhang Fei added: "Moreover, judging from this case, the administration is completely superior to the judiciary, and the county magistrates and prefects are seeking political achievements. In other words, their political careers will be superior to the judiciary, and the judiciary will not be able to play a supervisory role at all.

If the judiciary and the executive can check and balance each other, the prefects and county magistrates will not be able to act recklessly in pursuit of political achievements in many matters. I have provoked a struggle between the judiciary and the executive, but this is a struggle that the judiciary urgently needs. If a fair trial ends this struggle, I believe it will greatly help the judiciary. "

Xu Zhiqian whispered, "Dad, I think what Zhang San said makes sense. If the judiciary wants to check and balance the executive, there will inevitably be a fight."

Xu Zun glanced at Xu Zhiqian, and pondered for a while. Finally, he was moved by Zhang Fei's words and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"

Zhang Fei said: "I hope you can provide me with some cases of tax evasion."

"I thought it was something else."

Xu Zunfu chuckled and looked at Xu Zhiqian, "Qian'er can help you solve this problem. Their methods are not very sophisticated."

Xu Zhiqian winked at Zhang Fei proudly.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Please help me prepare. I still have some follow-up matters to deal with."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Fei said: "Pay the fine imposed by the government."

......

Wang Anshi also called his trusted general Lu Huiqing to discuss the matter.

After listening to this, Lu Huiqing was deeply shocked: "This kid is really cruel. The stick didn't hit him, but he came up with such a vicious revenge plan."

Wang Anshi shook his head: "This plan is just to persuade me to support him. His ultimate goal is to take revenge on Wang Hong through litigation."

Lu Huiqing nodded slightly.

Wang Anshi asked, "What do you think?"

Lu Huiqing thought for a while and said, "This will indeed make Sima Junshi feel very embarrassed, but if it succeeds in the end, it will also allow the Siliyuan to interfere with the finances. Sima Junshi will then control the judiciary, which may also pose a threat to us."

They are taking the administrative route, and the final result of this lawsuit may be the judicial plunder of administrative power.

Wang Anshi hesitated for a moment, "You don't agree with this?"

Lu Huiqing thought about it seriously for a long time. He was really undecided. The advantages and disadvantages were too close. He shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Although there are disadvantages in the distance, the advantages are right in front of us. I wonder what your plan is, Master?"

Wang Anshi said: "Sima Junshi's judicial reform must be aimed at my new law. Even if we don't do this, he will still separate politics from law. Then he can use the judiciary to restrict my new law, and the local landlords and gentry will support him. In this case, why not trip him up first, at least let those gentry and landlords have some grudges against Sima Guang's judicial reform."

Lu Huiqing nodded: "Master, you think long-term."

Wang Anshi said, "I'll leave this matter to you."

"yes."

Lu Huiqing suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right! Master, Deng Wan came to see me recently and offered me a plan."

Wang Anshi asked, "What's the plan?"

Lu Huiqing said: "He suggested that the deed tax on house land be extended to all contracts. Anyone who wants to be protected by the court must purchase the contract from the Municipal Taxation Bureau, stamp it with the official seal of the Municipal Taxation Bureau, and pay the deed tax."

Wang Anshi nodded slightly: "Regarding the deed tax, I thought about it last time when I discussed the mortgage with Zhang San. This is indeed feasible, but you must be cautious. You should formulate the regulations first, and we will discuss it carefully after this matter is completed."

......

Today, the Bian Jing Law Firm was once again under scrutiny.

Everyone leaned over and looked inside, only to see some officers guarding the door and a number of auditors counting copper coins, with Fan Li nodding and bowing beside them.

It was so glorious when the government bestowed the plaque, but it is so embarrassing now.

Because the government is here today to collect fines.

That’s it?

Is this the imperial plaque?

I thought it was very powerful.

result.......

This time, Zhang Fei really dragged Emperor Shenzong into disgrace.

In the private room.

"Is it necessary to make such a big scene?"

Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang with a depressed expression.

Sima Guang smiled bitterly and said, "You think I want to, but the three departments have said they will send someone to audit. Many officials in the court are keeping an eye on this matter, so no matter when they come, it will attract attention."

Zhang Fei smiled coldly.

Sima Guang saw something and asked, "Are you still not convinced?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's not that I don't accept it, it's not that I can't accept it. I want them to understand that the board doesn't work on me."

Sima Guang sighed, "You have to accept this matter, but you can't make a fuss about it anymore. Otherwise, no one can protect you."

Zhang Fei smiled awkwardly, his eyes seemed a little evasive.

Sima Guang felt something was wrong and asked directly, "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Fei hesitated for a while, then told Sima Guang about his plan.

But he did not mention Wang Anshi.

"Are you crazy?"

Sima Guang was furious after hearing this. He glanced at the door nervously, then quickly walked to the door, opened it, and ordered his guards: "No one is allowed to come in."

"Yes, sir."

After closing the door, Sima Guang came to Zhang Fei and asked, "Are you taking revenge on Wang Hong or on me, Sima Guang?"

Zhang Fei said: "Master Sima, please calm down and listen to my explanation......!"

But before he could finish, Sima Guang said, "We can never do this."

Zhang Fei looked at him awkwardly, "I...I have made up my mind. I will not give in."

“Neither can I…!”

Sima Ben wanted to say that he would not let Zhang Fei succeed, but halfway through his words, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why do you want to sow discord between the Siliyuan and the county government?"

Zhang Fei said nothing.

Sima Guang said again: "How could the Court of Justice trust a secret written by you, Wang Jiefu? This was Wang Jiefu's idea."

Thinking of Wang Anshi, he became even more furious. This tripping thing was really insidious.

This would make it very difficult for him.

Zhang Fei glanced at Sima Guang and thought, this is not what I said, you said it yourself.

Since Wang Anshi was involved, the nature of the matter was completely different. Zhang Fei was just a pawn. Sima Guang sat down and said in a persuasive tone: "It's not worth it."

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why is the Grand Secretary Sima so excited?"

Sima Guang frowned, "What do you think?"

Zhang Fei said: "Grand Secretary Sima believes that if we do this, it will cause more obstacles to judicial reform, and the reason is that it will offend many people."

Sima Guang said: "So you know it!"

Zhang Fei said: "But these people are all lawbreakers."

Sima Guang's expression changed and he sighed, "Things are not as simple as you think."

Zhang Fei said: "I know what Grand Secretary Sima is worried about. Grand Secretary Sima's judicial reform was able to get the approval of the government and the support of the ministers so quickly because it can check and control the two government regulations. But if the entire judiciary is hijacked by a group of lawbreakers, what is the meaning of judicial reform? Is it just to check and control the new law?"

Sima Guang frowned and said nothing.

Zhang Fei said: "I decided to do this precisely because of Sima Daxueshi's concerns. On the one hand, Sima Daxueshi has to rely on them, but on the other hand, their actions conflict with the judiciary, which requires a villain.

And Grand Secretary Wang is the best villain. If he succeeds, then Grand Secretary Sima will just be able to reap the fruits of his labor. It is because they themselves have not been able to defeat Grand Secretary Wang that they have to pay the taxes they should pay.

If the Sima Dashi did not force them to pay taxes, he would be impeached, and everything would be natural. In addition, the Sima Dashi could also use this to supervise the financial power, which was the core power of the new law of the Wang Dashi. "

Sima Guang was silent for a long time, then asked, "Since it is so beneficial to me, why did Wang Jiefu do this?"

Zhang Fei said: "Because the purpose of Wang Daxueshi is to make those people pay taxes and fill the national treasury."

Sima Guang snorted, "You think Wang Jiefu is working for the country and the people, but I, Sima Guang, am petty-minded?"

Zhang Fei said: "I don't think that Grand Secretary Sima will refuse."

"You really know how to talk, kid!" Sima Guang chuckled twice.

Zhang Fei chuckled and tried to fool around seriously. No, he explained, "When the moon is full, it wanes. When the water is full, it overflows. If the country just keeps collecting money, it won't work. But if it just keeps the wealth hidden among the people, it won't work either, because the country needs money to operate."

Having said this, he secretly glanced at Sima Guang, and seeing that he had a blank expression and remained silent, he could only continue speaking.

"The world is bustling with people, all for profit, this is human nature. The court would of course like to collect more taxes, and the people would of course like to pay less taxes, this is understandable, but if either side is out of balance, it will cause many problems, but it is impossible to expect them to be aware of it.

This is the significance of the law. The law can balance the two, so that both can gain and lose, thus achieving a relatively balanced result, in order to truly share the wealth with the people. I always believe that if a wise man does not use the law, it is difficult for him to use his wisdom to benefit the people of the world. "
