Chapter 169 Undercurrent



Lan Yuan was stunned!

If the government can give you a plaque, you should just cry to Fan Li. Why are you making demands here?

You really don't know what's good for you.

“Or, how about carving it directly on your face? It cannot be washed off or damaged, and you can carry it with you wherever you go. Isn’t that better?” Lan Yuanzhen said with a smile.

Zhang Fei's smile faded, and he apologized: "Please forgive me, eunuch. I...I was just joking."

Lan Yuanzhen snorted, "You can joke about the government's reward. You really don't know what's good for you."

I haven't driven it before, you just don't have any experience. Zhang Fei said awkwardly: "Isn't this my first time recycling? I don't have much experience."

"you...."

Lan Yuanzhen was so angry at Zhang Fei that he laughed, "Forget it, forget it. Which minister in the court has not been irritated by you? Do you want to be irritated?"

"want!"

...

...

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Of course, thank you for the reward, thank you for the reward."

Don't be a fool.

Argue under imperial order?

Wow...!

This time it’s really prosperous!

You should know that last year, Zhang Fei racked his brains for this right to sue and even got a mortgage. However, according to the court system, the right to sue is still controlled by the court. If he wants to renew it, he has to pass the government's assessment.

This is always a hidden danger.

Now that I have this plaque, please don’t let me take the exam. If you let me take the exam, I will hand in a blank paper. If you don’t let me pass, then we’ll see who will be embarrassed.

Zhang Fei was just excited, but Fan Li was sensible. He took out the few silver coins in the store and gave them to Lan Yuanzhen and other eunuchs who were accompanying him.

This is called social skills.

If even Buddha accepts them, why can’t eunuchs accept them?

Anyone who talks about corruption and bribery cannot be said to have low emotional intelligence, they can only be said to have no IQ.

After Lan Yuanzhen left, Zhang Fei looked around and asked, "Mr. Fan, where do you think we should hang this plaque?"

Fan Li cried out, "Sanlang, how can you hang this plaque outside? What if someone steals it?"

"Another piece please."

"......?"

Fan Li quickly pushed this ignorant boy to the backyard, and quickly called on all the spies in the store to help him come up with ideas and see if he could hang it there so that it would be both conspicuous and safe.

Finally I chose to hang behind the counter.

After registering, Fan Li brought a group of earphones and stood in a row, looking at the plaque affectionately. Thinking about the worries and fears he had suffered during these days, he choked up.

As he choked up, the earphone beside him also began to wipe away tears.

It’s really not easy.

Finally, the clouds have cleared and the moon is visible.

"Mr. Fan, congratulations! Congratulations!"

Li Guozhong entered the store and bowed to Fan Li.

Fan Li tilted his head and looked over, his expression changed, he saluted and said, "So it's Li Xingshou, thank you very much, thank you very much."

The two of them were expressing their congratulations and thanks, but the expressions on their faces were truly spectacular, comparable to a big drama.

For a long time, the Bian Jing Law Firm has been a thorn in the eyes of other bookstores, and they will not be happy until it is removed.

But this time...

They knew it was too late to save the situation.

The plaque bestowed by the emperor was something that had never happened before in the tea and snack industry.

But this is not about right or wrong, good or bad, it's human nature.

In a word, why should you be allowed to become bigger and stronger? What are your qualifications?

If you want to do big business, you will inevitably attract attacks from your peers.

Anyone can do this, and it is bound to happen in any industry.

You must never think that I am working hard to pursue a better life, so who am I bothering? Why are you targeting me?

It's not directed at you, but at everyone. Everyone has gone through this, and those who can't make it can't be seen by you.

The only solution is to become stronger.

Just like today.

There was no way to stop this, so everyone just accepted it.

With the appearance of Li Guozhong, other tea and snack eaters and even the owners of brothels came to congratulate him.

After all, this is the light of Lushi Lane!

Zhang Fei gave all the limelight to Fan Li. This was also the promise Zhang Fei made to Fan Li, to make him the bully in Lushi Lane, second only to him.

He stayed alone in the private room in the backyard, thinking about the meaning behind the plaque.

Did the government give him this plaque to support his theory or just to praise him?

He couldn't even ask Xu Zun about this matter.

"To serve the emperor is like serving a tiger. I'd better not guess about the emperor's mind. As long as he doesn't give me a clear indication, I will regard this plaque as a reward. I don't care. I just want to feel good."

After thinking it over, Zhang Fei felt that he should be cautious and not make blind guesses. After all, the emperor was only giving him a plaque, not asking him to be the prime minister.

"Zhang San! Zhang San!"

A burst of arrogant shouting interrupted Zhang Fei's thoughts.

It’s good to be young. Even though I was so drunk yesterday, I can be full of energy so early in the morning.

Zhang Fei stood up and walked out, only to see Cao Dongdong standing in the yard in a very arrogant manner, "Morning, Young Master."

"Zhang San, hey you!"

"Um?"

Zhang Fei suddenly looked at Cao Dongdong's crooked mouth with a bruise on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help asking: "Yanei, what happened to your mouth?"

Cao Dongdong touched the corner of his mouth and said with a grin, "Didn't I get drunk at your house yesterday? I fell down when I got home and got hurt."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Fei looked at it carefully, "Why does it look like it was smoked?"

"What are you looking at? Who dares to hit me?"

Cao Dongdong twisted his mouth and asked again: "Is the plaque outside really given to you by the government?"

"How can this be false!" Zhang Fei said unhappily.

Cao Dongdong asked anxiously: "Does that mean we will win every time we sue?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "It shouldn't be that powerful! I'm not sure, and there's no instruction manual."

Cao Dongdong's eyes turned, and he put his arm around Zhang Fei, "Come on, come on, I want to discuss a big deal with you."

As he said that, he pulled Zhang Fei into the lobby.

"Big deal?"

Zhang Fei asked suspiciously, "What big deal?"

Cao Dongdong said: "I would like you to help me calculate the taxes for my family."

"ah?"

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "Why did your family ask me to calculate the taxes?"

Cao Dongdong rolled his eyes and said, "Can't I find you at my house?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "If I help you calculate the taxes, it will only increase."

Cao Dongdong asked in surprise: "Why?"

Zhang Fei asked, "You're still asking me, has your family paid enough taxes?"

Cao Dongdong scratched his head and muttered quietly, "Do I still need to ask you to calculate the tax after I have paid the full amount?"

Zhang Fei was stunned. "So you asked me to calculate the tax just to pay less tax?"

Cao Dongdong nodded and said, "If you can do it, I will tell my father."

Zhang Fei was very frustrated, thinking, originally I was bound to make this money, but unfortunately, these royal relatives have a lot of privileges, which makes it impossible for them to avoid taxes in a legal sense. They can only make money from those wealthy businessmen. If the court could cancel these privileges, I would make a lot of money.

Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei without saying anything and asked, "Zhang San, can you do it?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, shook his head and said, "My business has nothing to do with your family, and I can't help you."

Cao Dongdong twisted his mouth and said, "Forget it then."

Zhang Fei looked at him suspiciously, "By the way, why did you suddenly ask me to do this business?"

Cao Dongdong snorted, "Isn't it okay for me to come and ask? I spent 500 strings of cash on you, I can't waste it. I can also chat with you if I have nothing to do."

Zhang Fei nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, if Yanei has any legal questions, you can come and consult us. We will definitely provide high-quality service."

As he spoke, he looked around and said, "Where are those people? A big customer came, but they didn't even offer him a cup of tea."

"Forget it. I'm not here for tea." Cao Dongdong waved his hand and stood up again. "I'm leaving."

He left with a swagger.

Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong's back, and was very confused. If this guy came to me to visit a brothel, that was possible. He would never suddenly come to me to talk about such a serious matter. There must be a reason behind it. What was it? His family? Could it be his father? Impossible, I have to abide by the law. The Cao family can ignore the law, and I can only make things worse. No, could it be that the Cao family is afraid of the new law, so they want to leave a way out for themselves. Yes! If the new law can gradually weaken these privileged people, then I will be rich.

......

Cao Dongdong got on the carriage and saw a middle-aged man sitting inside, who was Cao Ping.

"How about it?"

Cao Ping asked.

Cao Dongdong said awkwardly: "I really chose the wrong person this time. Zhang... Zhang San said he can't help us."

Cao Ping asked, "Why?"

Cao Dongdong said: "He said that if we ask him to calculate the tax, the tax will only increase. We can't do this business."

Cao Ping smiled slightly, patted Cao Dongdong's shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "You have a good eye, this Zhang San is really worth associating with!"

Cao Dongdong asked hurriedly, "Did Dad allow me to have a relationship with Zhang San?"

Cao Ping nodded.

"Why?"

Cao Dongdong asked with a curious look on his face.

Cao Ping asked, "Why do you want to associate with Zhang San?"

"hey-hey!"

Cao Dongdong smiled foolishly and said nothing.

Cao Ping laughed, "Didn't you say that Daddy is more afraid of Auntie than you are?"

......

Kaifeng Prefecture.

"Prefect Lu, have you heard about the government bestowing a plaque on the Bian Jing Law Firm?"

Li Kai hurried into the house and said to Lu Gong, panting.

Lu Gong put down the document in his hand and asked, "What is the plaque for?"

Li Kaidao said: "Not long ago, the government gave a plaque to the Bian Jing Law Firm, and the word 'Law' was written on it."

Lu Gong thought for a moment and said, "It must be that Zhang San helped the two government regulations department win the lawsuit, so the government gave him a reward."

Li Kai said depressedly: "Why give him such a plaque when there are so many other things to give him?"

Lu Gong asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Kai said excitedly: "Now that Zhang San has obtained this plaque, who will dare to stop him from suing in the future!"

Lu Gong suddenly stood up and looked at Huang Gui and said, "Huang Zhubu."

"What instructions does the prefect have?" Huang Gui stepped forward immediately.

Lü Gong asked, "How long will it take for me to be transferred?"

Huang Gui said: "Less than half a year."

Lu Gong sat back down and said, "Half a year, it will be over if you just endure it."

Li Kai wanted to cry but couldn't. "But I still have a year and a half!"

......

In the evening.

Chen Huaixiao put his hands into his sleeves and walked out of the imperial city with a worried look on his face.

When he came to the court today, he had already gradually sensed the signs that the power of the three ministries was falling into the hands of others, and many officials had already begun to flatter Wang Anshi.

Legislative power, this thing is really terrifying.

And it is mainly aimed at their three companies.

However, Prime Minister Tang Jie was bedridden, and no one among the three officials could compete with Wang Anshi.

"Brother Shen! Brother Shen!"

Suddenly, he heard someone shouting. Shen Huaixiao turned his head and saw the transport envoy Cao Han walking towards him quickly.

"So it turns out to be Cao Yunshi."

"Brother Shen, have you heard that the government gave a plaque to the ear pen Zhang San today?"

"What plaque?" Shen Huaixiao asked.

Cao Han said: "It is a plaque with the word 'sue' written on it. This way, no one can stop Zhang San from suing."

Shen Huaixiao sighed, “That kid is indeed difficult to deal with, but he is just an ear pen after all, so what if he has more plaques, I am not in the mood to pay attention to him now.”

Cao Han asked, "Brother Chen, are you worried about setting up the two government regulations office?"

Shen Huaixiao sighed: "Who wouldn't be upset!"

Cao Han said: "In this case, we must pay attention to this ear pen."

Shen Huaixiao tilted his head to look, "What do you mean?"

Cao Han said: "The lawsuit clearly stated that the two government regulations will be supervised by the judiciary. Wang Jiefu can pay to hire the spy Zhang San. We can hire the spy Zhang San to deal with Wang Jiefu!"

Shen Huaixiao frowned and said, "Ear Pen Zhang San got his start thanks to Wang Jiefu. Can he help us?"

Cao Han said: "But we can find a way to sow discord between them. This way, we can kill two birds with one stone."

Shen Huaixiao glanced at him, then looked around, "Come to my house and talk."

......

Zhang Fei did not return home until late in the evening. After all, the imperial plaque was just a plaque. If it could not be converted into money, it would become a decoration. Zhang Fei's next plan had already been decided, which was to go to the nearby rural area.

He had a lot of work to do.

Of course, today he just told them to be ready for the long journey. The days of staying in the store drinking tea and chatting are over. Going to the countryside is the right way to make a living.

"Huh? Madam Xu is here too."

Zhang Fei, who had just returned home, saw Xu Zhiqian sitting in the yard chatting with Gao Wenyin.

Xu Zhiqian raised a smug smile and said, "Congratulations on receiving the imperial plaque. From now on, no one will dare to stop you from arguing."

Zhang Fei was surprised and said, "You will know it then."

Xu Zhiqian said: "This matter has spread all over the capital."

Gao Wenyin stood up and said, "Husband, you chat with Madam Xu first. I'll go get you a basin of hot water."

"Oh, here comes Mrs. Lao."

Zhang Fei nodded.

After Gao Wenyin left, Xu Zhiqian said, "How can you treat Sister Gao as a servant?"

"I didn't want to either. This was her own request. However, she is very attentive and nice."

If she doesn't sleep with him, she must make up for it in other ways. If she really just sits at home and eats and does nothing, then Zhang Fei will really love her to death. Suddenly he looked at Xu Zhiqian and said, "You're in a good mood. Have you found your ideal husband so soon?"

Xu Zhiqian smiled gently: "Don't be so mysterious here. I know that you must have thought of a way to make Dad agree to let me come back to the office to help."

A smile flashed across Zhang Fei's eyes, and he asked, "How did you know?"

Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "Because you are the only one who wants me to come back to the office to help!"

"clever!"

Zhang Fei snapped his fingers.

Xu Zhiqian asked hurriedly: "How did you convince my father?"

Zhang Fei said: "The reason why my benefactor wants you to get married is not because he doesn't like you to help out at the law firm, but because you are old enough. If you don't get married now, you may not be able to get married in the future. Is that right?"

Xu Zhiqian nodded.

Zhang Fei said: "It's very simple! I just need to prescribe the right medicine."

Xu Zhiqian asked again: "How to prescribe the right medicine?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's very simple. I promised you that I would cover the bottom for you."

"reveal all the details?"

Xu Zhiqian looked stunned.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I will tell my benefactor that I will ask you to come to the office to help first. If you are not needed by then, I will help you to take in this demon."
