After eating and drinking, Gao Wenyin took Xiaotao and the others to start cleaning, while Zhang Fei continued to discuss the lawsuit about Su Shi with the Xu family father and daughter in the corridor.
It has an urban version of the atmosphere of men farming and women weaving.
Regardless of whether their husband-and-wife relationship is real or fake, the feeling is really different with or without Gao Wenyin.
......
They had already found the charge, which was "creating a coat and writing coat words", so the next step was to look for evidence around this charge.
Different from the last ancestral law, that lawsuit was about the right of interpretation, but this time it is not about explaining anything, but about filling it with laws.
Although it sounds like the ancestral method is obviously more difficult, if you are not careful, you may end up with your head and body separated.
But in fact, both are difficult. Although the laws of our ancestors are very sensitive and sound scary, there are sufficient arguments to prove them. The key is that those ministers just use them indiscriminately. Can a law without rules and regulations be a good law?
As for copyright, there is currently no case that can support Zhang Fei. The only thing that can be copyrighted is the control of the rulers over the people's thoughts.
The crime of "making a coat and writing a book" also originated from ideological control.
...
...
Although the two appear similar on the surface, there are actually fundamental contradictions between them.
Because copyright law regulates personal property rights, which is exactly what Zaoaoshuaoyan wants to control.
However, Zhang Fei wants to use this method to defend his personal copyright.
As a result, when they are discussing, they often reach a dead end and cannot get out.
But lawsuits are never about the truth, but about loopholes. There is no guarantee of success or failure. Those with capital can borrow a ladder and climb over, while those without capital can just see if there is a dog hole to crawl into.
Not to mention that the Chinese language is profound and extensive. It is like a mountain that can be seen from different angles and different peaks. It all depends on how you approach it and whether you can find a balance point to convince the government to legislate for this purpose.
For three consecutive days, Zhang and Xu Zhi worked day and night to find evidence, and Xu Zun also rushed home to help after being dismissed from office.
Xu Zun is the judge. The questions he raised are of vital importance to Zhang Fei. Xu helped a lot in the previous lawsuits as to why Fei was able to handle everything perfectly.
In the evening.
"ah!"
Zhang Fei stretched and said, "I think it's almost done."
Xu Zhiqian said: "I still have a lot to learn, and many questions have not been explained thoroughly)"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Due to the lack of precedents, some issues are difficult to explain thoroughly. The law is derived from morality, and these can be compensated by morality. Piracy is morally wrong, and the key is how to legislate and regulate it."
Xu Zun nodded: "That's right, your purpose is not to claim compensation, but to legislate."
Zhang Fei said to Xu Zhiqian again: "Madam Xu, you should come with me to class this time."
Xu Zhiqian's face lit up with joy, and she immediately said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Kaifeng Prefecture will definitely give in."
Zhang Fei said: "As far as the rules and regulations are concerned, the trial court represents the highest level of judgment in our dynasty. The Trial Court has asked you to come to court to assist, so why wouldn't Kaifeng Prefecture allow you to do so?"
Dong Dong Dong!
There was a knock on the door.
"Third brother, Officer Fan is here."
"What is he doing here?"
Zhang Fei was slightly stunned.
Zhiqian hurriedly said, "Go out and have a look quickly. Maybe something happened at the bookstore."
"Oh! Excuse me then!"
"Go!"
Xu also nodded.
Zhang Fei just walked to the door, turned around and said to Xu Zhiqian seriously: "It's a law firm, not a bookstore."
Having said that, he went out.
......
"Saburo!"
When Fan Li saw Zhang Fei, he stood up and walked over, then pulled Zhang Fei aside and whispered, "Someone from the Commercial and Taxation Institute just came. I hope our firm can help them with their taxes."
Zhang Fei was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?"
Fan Li hurriedly explained: "I think they are actively trying to make peace with us, hoping to turn hostility into friendship."

Feiton understood and snorted, "He said to fight, and he said it was okay, what are they doing?"
"......?"
Fan Li really wanted to ask Zhang Fei, who do you think you are?
Zhang Fei added: "Think of an excuse and kill them."
Fan Li was puzzled and asked, "Why? We can't defeat them, so why should we provoke them? The Du Shang Shui Yuan is backed by the Three Departments, we can't afford to offend them!"
Zhang Fei said with disdain: "I can afford to offend the imperial court, but why can't I afford to offend the three officials? You are so arrogant in front of me. I will make this tax calculation deal, and even the Buddha can't stop it."
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Fan Li couldn't help but look a little hesitant.
yes!
He has also sued the court, so why should he be afraid of the Three Courts?
Zhang Fei suddenly seemed to remember something, "By the way, have you told anyone about our lawsuit with Mr. Su?"
Fan Lizhi shook his head: "No! You said to keep it a secret, how dare I tell you."
Fei said: "Then you can use the excuse of rejecting the Commercial and Taxation Institute to spread the news."
Fan Li was a little confused after hearing this, "I can tell it to others, but I don't quite understand how to tell the Commercial and Taxation Institute to tell others.
Zhang Fei sighed, "You don't even know how to do this? Why should we refuse? We need to give an excuse. The reason is that we have a lawsuit in hand, and we can afford to fight it once for a year. We are not afraid of their encirclement and suppression. If Li Guozhong is really capable, he should learn to sue me and sue the court like me! We make money by doing things, not by relying on others' pity."
Fan Lizhi nodded and said, "I understand! I understand!"
......
Shen Mansion.
"How ridiculous! This kid is just not willing to accept my toast and drink the wine for punishment."
Shen Huaixiao couldn't help but get angry and ashamed when he heard that his initiative to show goodwill was rejected by Fan Li.
How shameless!
Tang Ji snorted, "I told you that boy is arrogant and doesn't know what's good for him. We shouldn't show him kindness. If we do, he will think we are afraid of him and will become even more aggressive.
Chen Huaixiao sighed, "I have also explained it to him. Wang Jiefu and Xu Zhongtu are protecting him. We don't have much to do with him. It's better to have less trouble than more."
Tang Ji said: "Although we don't have much to do with him for the time being, I can completely stop merchants from having any dealings with him. If anyone dares to have any dealings with him, we will never let him off easily, including finding a police officer.)
As for the common people, let them be. I don't believe he can maintain his law firm just by fighting these lawsuits."
Chen Xiao nodded, "We have to show some color. You can ask someone to talk to the Ma family, the Chen family, and the Fan family. At present, it is mainly these three families and Zhang Sanhe."
"I'll send someone over later."
Tang Ji nodded and said, "By the way, didn't Zhang San also include the Fan family's house in his shop this time? There are many problems involved, such as deed tax and whether there is any infringement on the street. We should also send someone to check it out. If there is any problem, we can order him to temporarily close the shop."
Shen Huaixiao nodded and smiled: "This is a good idea. Although we can't punish Zhang San, as long as he is doing business, he can't escape from our grasp."
He paused for a moment and said, "In that case, why not check Fan Li as well to see if he has done anything illegal before."
Tang Ji: "Since we have to check, why not check everyone once?"
You, Zhang Fei, are a man of iron teeth and copper jaws, and you are very stubborn and indifferent to anything. But that doesn't mean everyone around you is like that.
As they were chatting, the Salt and Iron Judge Du Xiu suddenly came.
"Have you heard that Zhang San is going to sue again?"
"What lawsuit is it?" Shen Huaixiao asked.
Du Xiu said, "It is said that Su Shizhan asked him to sue a bookseller for stealing his poems and selling them."
"Can you sue for this?"
Tang Ji wondered.
Bang!
Shen Huaixiao suddenly slammed the table, "This is too much!"
Tang Ji and Du Xiu were both stunned.
Xio asked, “Brother Shen, that bookseller can’t be you, right?”
Shen Huaixiao said: "When did I ever open a bookstore?"
"Then why are you angry?"
(This chapter is not yet finished!)

"I was angry because that guy had offended our three divisions, yet he still had the mood to help others with the lawsuit. He didn't even take us seriously.
"......?"
......
Zhang family.
"Ma'am, what are you doing?"
When Zhang Fei walked out of the room, he suddenly found Gao Wenyin standing in the backyard, with her head down, as if looking for something, so he walked over.
"Husband...husband, good morning!"
Gao Wenyin turned around and said, "I just...just..."
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Just what?"
Gao Wenyin said, "I just feel that this place is a little empty. Would it be better if we planted some flowers and plants?"
It seems that she really took his words to heart. Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Actually, there are some trees here. Let me ask Li Si to move to the firewood room."
"Why?"
Gao Wenyin couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't my husband like flowers and plants?"
"no!"
Zhang Fei shook his head. "It's because Li Si and I don't know how to do these things. If we leave them here, they will get muddy. If you want, you can move them back."
Gao Wenyin nodded and said, "I will."
"That's fine..."
"My benefactor! My benefactor!"
Niu Beiqing's thunderous voice came.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but frown.
After a while, Niu Beiqing strode over and suddenly saw Gao Wenyin was there too, "Sister-in-law is here too."
His voice immediately dropped an octave.
Gao Wenyin said, "Niu, this is not the village, keep your voice down."
While speaking, he glanced at Zhang Fei briefly.
"Why!"
Niu Beiqing nodded.
Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "What's wrong with you?"
"I came to see my benefactor just because I had nothing to do." Niu Bei said aggrievedly.
Zhang Fei wondered, "Why are you looking for me if you have nothing to do?"
Niu Beiqing immediately said, "Then the seventh brother is in charge of the account office, and the fifth brother is in charge of the carriages, so what should I be in charge of? I am most afraid of being idle, so please find me something to do."
Are all people who have not experienced 996 so naive? Zhang Fei smiled and said, "You are so strong and powerful, of course you are here to protect the house! This is the most important thing, because I have been attacked twice in my own home, I hope there won't be a third time."
Niu Beiqing felt very comfortable, patted his chest and said: "Please rest assured, benefactor, with me here, it will never happen three times."
"very good!"
Zhang nodded and said, "That's right! Please help Madam move the flower pots from the firewood room here. Madam wants to plant some flowers and plants here."
"OK!"
When Niu Bei heard that it was his sister-in-law's order, he said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'll move it in right away."
Gao Wenyin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No hurry, no hurry, it's okay to move in slowly."
After Niu Beiqing left, Zhang Fei smiled and said, "This black guy looks scary, but he's actually quite cute."
Gao Wen smiled and nodded, "Daniu is a little impulsive, but he has a very good heart. Otherwise, I...!"
Zhang Fei added, "Otherwise, Shi Dalang wouldn't have become his brother?"
Gao Wen blushed and nodded slightly.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Madam, please don't mind these things. Just say whatever you want to say."
Wen nodded shyly.
But it's definitely still awkward.
Zhang Fei asked again: "By the way! Madam, what do you like to do?"
Gao Wenyin said: "I am doing some embroidery at home.
"embroidery?"
Zhang Fei asked again: "I wonder if Madam can sew uniforms?"
Gao Wenyin said, "Yes! Husband, do you want to make new clothes? Actually, you don't have to go out to make them. I can help you make them."
"Forget about the clothes, that would be too tiring." Zhang Fei added, "But I want to make some big shorts and short shirts for the summer."
Gao Wenyin asked: "Large shorts? Short shirt?"
"You come with me)"
He took Gao Wenyin to the front yard, and then took a pen and drew a few sketches on paper, "That is (this chapter is not yet finished!)
Chapter 131 Exclusive Hot List
Warm reminder: To prevent incomplete content and disordered text, please do not use the browser (App) reading mode.
Would you do this?"
Gao Wenyin looked at it carefully for a while and nodded, "It should be possible, but I wonder what material my husband wants to use?"
"This person will take care of it."
"Then... I'll try)"
"good."
"Zhang San!"
I saw Xu Zhiqian coming straight into the house.
"Morning, Madam Xu!"
"Morning, Madam Zhang!"
Xu Zhiqian hummed.
Gao Wenyin blushed slightly and said, "You guys chat first, I'll help Niu with the potted plants in the backyard."
Xu Zhiqian asked, "Madam, do you know how to plant potted plants?"
Gao Wenyin said, "I know a little."
Zhang teased: "You think they are all the same as you. You can't do anything this woman can do."
Xu Zhiqian said unconvincedly: "Don't look down on me. I'm tired of those potted plants and embroidery. What's so great about them?"
"Yeah?
Zhang Fei expressed doubt.
Xu Zhiqian said proudly, "Just don't believe it if you don't want to."
Gao Wen felt a little awkward standing here, and said hurriedly, "Husband, Madam Xu, I'll be leaving first."
"OK."
After Gao Wenyin left, Xu Zhiqian remembered the purpose of this visit and immediately asked, "By the way! Did you let someone spread the news outside?"
Fei nodded and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "It has spread throughout the capital. Now, whether it is a restaurant or a brothel, everyone is talking about it."
Zhang Fei was surprised: "Did it spread so fast?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded and said, "Didn't I tell you before that there have always been people complaining about this kind of thing, but there is nothing they can do about it. However, no one has ever thought of resolving it through a lawsuit, and this matter also involved Mr. Su, who had just returned to Beijing, so it caused a lot of discussion."
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "Do you all support me?"
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "Not many people support you. Most of them support Mr. Su, but there are also quite a few people who think that Mr. Su is making a fuss over nothing. The key is that he hired you as an informant to sue and seek compensation. This is not right. They are arguing about this."
In fact, this incident also reflects the special features of the literati in the Song Dynasty. As far as Confucianism is concerned, writing books and making statements is a pursuit of self-cultivation rather than economic interests. Talking about economic interests is vulgar and will be despised.
This is why, although literature was so prosperous in Chinese history, copyright law has never been introduced. It is related to this idea.
However, the commodity economy of the Song Dynasty was very prosperous. Intellectuals were not ashamed to talk about profits, and nine out of ten key meetings of state officials were about finance and money.
This has led many people to believe that whether Su Shi was asking for fame or profit, it was all right.
But a few people think that you can stop booksellers from infringing on your reputation, but it would be a bit too much to claim compensation, especially if you have hired someone to smear you.
This goes against the way of scholars.
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded, "It's a good thing to have debates."
Xu Qian asked, "When do you plan to go to Kaifeng Prefecture?"
Zhang Fei said, "Wait for two days before going."
......
noon.
Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing chatted as they walked toward the gate of the imperial city.
"What are your plans?"
"Master, everything has been prepared. We are just waiting for His Majesty's order." After saying that, Lu Hui suddenly asked, "Master, have you heard that Zhang Fei has taken on another lawsuit?"
Wang Anshi smiled bitterly: "It's hard not to hear about it. They have been discussing it for the whole morning."
Lu Huiqing said: "It's not just them, almost all the scholars in Bianjing are discussing this matter."
Wang Anshi saw that he looked worried, so he couldn't help asking, "What do you want to say?"
Lu Huiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Looking at the situation, Zhang Fei will go to Kaifeng Prefecture in two days, which will surely attract the attention of the court and the public. Otherwise, Master, please ask for leave and wait until the lawsuit is over before issuing an order."
When Wang Anshi heard this, he immediately became angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? A common official is as powerful as ours (This chapter is not yet finished!)

Is reform important?
Lu Huiqing quickly explained, "The students are worried that Zhang San will steal the limelight from the law, which is not good for the new law!"
In ancient times, political reforms also had to take public opinion into consideration.
Wang Anshi snorted, "Can he snatch it away?"
Lu Huiqing said, "It's better to be prepared for the worst. A few days ago, the court was still discussing the reform of our teacher, but now everyone is talking about the lawsuit. Anyway, His Majesty hasn't issued an order yet, so it doesn't matter if it's delayed for two days."
Wang Anshi thought it was nothing, but he could see that Lu Huiqing was worried, so he nodded and said, "Okay! I'll go ask the emperor first. Emperor Xu doesn't plan to issue an order in the next two days."
......
Seal the mansion.
"well...."
Li Kai came to the back hall and sighed: "It seems that as long as that boy is here, we in Kaifeng Prefecture will never have peace!"
It’s only been a few days!
You kid is coming again.
Aren’t you tired?
Gong Zhu looked up at him and said, "This isn't a big deal. Just hand it over to the Court of Justice for trial."
At first, he took on Li Si's case because he was not convinced and wanted to meet Zhang San. As a result, trouble came and this guy was gone. He had already made a plan before. The next time Zhang San came, he would hand it over to him.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Li Kai Wulian said: "Lu, you don't know that Han Xianggong and his men have already sent people to reserve seats. The Siliyuan is so small that there is no room for them."
Gong was stunned and asked, "What seat?"
Li Kaidao: "It's the seat for the trial!
"ah?"
Lu Gong was stunned at once.
The seats for the trial have already been reserved even though the complainants have not yet arrived.
Are you guys watching this as a play?
After a long while, Lu Gongzhe finally came back to his senses. The curse words on his lips were suppressed by Hanyang. He thought seriously and said, "I have also heard about this matter. If Su Zizhan pursues this matter, it will be the fault of the bookseller. So I think if Zhang San's claim is reasonable, then we should send someone to investigate. After the investigation, he will win directly. There is no need to entangle with him in court."
He had already been convinced by the ancestral law last time.
Don't come.
My Kaifeng Prefecture cannot afford such a limelight.
Li Kai's eyes lit up, "Yes! I can rule in his favor and not give him a chance to sue."
He let it go and decided not to compete with Zhang Fei for victory or defeat.
Just then, a yamen runner came to the door to announce: "Prefect, someone from the Bian Jing Law Firm has handed in a complaint."
Li Kaidao: "Here it comes! Here it comes!"
Lu Gong said, "Present it."
"Yes, sir."
The bailiff immediately handed over the complaint.
When Lu Gong saw the charges, he immediately became depressed. "I think Zhang San is really bored and has nothing to do. Why does he have to make such a big fuss over such a small matter?"
Li Kai standing next to him suddenly became panicked.
Can this become a big deal?
Li Kai hurriedly asked, "Prefect Lu, what crime did that kid accuse you of?"
Lu Gong opened his mouth and handed the petition to Li again, "You should read it yourself."
Then he asked the yamen runner, "Did Zhang San come here in person to hand in the petition?"
The yamen runner said, "No, it was a man named Qiu Zhengwen who worked at the Bian Law Firm."
Zhang Fei is a partner of the firm after all, so why does he have to do such a small matter as submitting the complaint himself?
"You go down!"
"yes."
As the bailiff went down, Li Kai exclaimed, "Shu Ao Yan?"
Then he asked Lu Gongzhe, "Who is he accusing?"
Lu Gong was stunned for a moment, then quickly reached out his hand: "Bring it here and let me see it."
Li Kai handed over the petition again.
After reading it, Lu Gong said, "Strange! He is suing Ji Juxian, but this doesn't make sense. He is suing for the crime of Zao Ao Shu Ao Yan. Ji Juxian is the one who printed Su Shi's poems. If they really committed the crime of Zao Ao Shu Ao Yan, it should be Su Shi, not Ji Juxian!"
