The government sued the government.
It has to be said that Lu Huiqing was shocked by Zhang Fei's ideas again.
In his mouth, it seems that anything can be sued.
When Qian Yi sued the Regulations Office of the Two Prefectures, he also took off his official uniform and went there again. Although he won the first time and was reinstated, the second lawsuit was only held within the court, and he could not sue another government office.
But it's already somewhat close.
Lu Huiqing thought it was a good idea.
It can be seen that Lu Huiqing and Zhang Fei are truly a perfect match.
One is ruthless and decisive, going straight to the point, while the other prefers to take an unconventional approach, often doing things unexpectedly.
Of course, the specific operation method must be based on Zhang Fei's opinion.
After all, Lu Huiqing doesn't know how to sue.
...
...
"Have you decided?"
Xu Zhiqian quietly patted Zhang Fei's shoulder from behind.
Zhang Fei turned around, smiled and nodded, "We will be busy this time."
Xu Zhiqian was stunned and said, "As long as this kind of lawsuit can be brought to court, we will definitely win. There is irrefutable evidence that those people evaded taxes."
Zhang Fei sighed: "This is where the difficulty lies."
Um?
Xu Zhiqian looked at him with confusion.
Zhang Fei said: "From the literati to the common people, everyone has this kind of behavior, which will form a forbidden zone of the law."
"The forbidden zone of the law?" Xu Zhiqian asked doubtfully.
"The law does not hold everyone responsible." Zhang Fei explained: "When a point can involve a whole area, the law is often helpless. Those seemingly ironclad evidences are precisely the biggest loopholes in this case."
When he was in college, the professor spent a whole class specifically talking about the principle of not holding everyone responsible.
As long as any case enters this restricted area, the law will not be able to handle it. Not to mention strict laws, even light law enforcement will not work because it will cause major social problems.
Xu Zhiqian obviously thought too simply about this issue and asked, "Then how do you plan to solve this problem?"
Zhang Fei said: "As far as common sense is concerned, only policies can solve the problem of the law not holding everyone accountable."
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "Since you are going to use the policy, why do you still want to file this lawsuit?"
Zhang Fei said: "We can still fight, but we need to change our thinking. Anyway, we will be busy next."
He first asked Li Si to go to the office and tell Manager Fan that he also wanted to take a long vacation and reflect at home.
When Fan Li learned about this, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "You kid finally knows how to reflect on yourself."
Although this meant that he was the only one working in the entire store, he was happy to have some free time. He had been too busy some time ago and needed some quiet time. Even if he had no business to do, he was happy.
"Hey, you! What wind brings fourth brother here today?" Fan Li, who was dozing off behind the counter, saw Ma Tianhao suddenly stride in, and hurried out to the counter to greet him.
Ma Tianhao slapped a stack of documents on the counter and said, "There are some contract disputes here. Please help me deal with them."
When he spoke, his eyes darted everywhere.
"Hey! Old Fan."
Ma Tianhao suddenly waved.
"What is it?"
Fan Li came over.
Ma Tianhao asked: "Why is there no one in your store? I'm so nervous."
Fan Li sighed, "Aren't they all recuperating at home?"
Ma Tianhao asked with a gossipy look on his face: “Was the beating very severe last time?”
Fan Li said: "It's not that harsh. For the most serious cases, five to seven days of recuperation is enough. But Sanlang felt guilty towards them, so he let them rest for a month and still paid them."
Ma Tianhao asked, "Is Sanlang here?"
"I haven't been here for a few days." Fan Li shook his head.
Seeing that Zhang Fei was not there, Ma Tianhao immediately said, "I'm really not saying anything bad about you. We businessmen can't even handle our own disputes. Why do you want to stir up trouble? You can't be so lucky every time."
Fan Li sighed, "I don't want to either. Wasn't it Sanlang who came up with the idea? He always won before. How can we not listen to him?"
Ma Tianhao said, "We have to hold him down this time. We don't dare to come here when you guys are acting so recklessly. These disputes that need to be dealt with have been piling up for several days."
Fan Li hurriedly said, "Sanlang must have learned his lesson this time. He has been reflecting on it at home these days and is not shouting for revenge like he did in the past few times."
Ma Tianhao nodded: "That's good! Okay, I'll take my leave first."
Fan Li hurriedly said, "I haven't even had a cup of tea."
"No more drinking! No more drinking! There's no need for us to be so formal."
Ma Tianhao waved his hand, "Don't see me off!"
He turned around and went out the door. Just as he walked out of the door, he saw the Salt and Iron Judge Shen Huaixiao and the Transport Envoy Cao Han walking past the door.
Of course Ma Tianhao recognized them both, and hurried forward to pay his respects.
Shen Huaixiao asked casually, "Did Mr. Ma get into trouble?"
"No, no, it's just some contract issues." Ma Tianhao suddenly realized something and explained, "Our shop has already hired their firm for a whole year, so we spent the money anyway, so..."
Shen Huaixiao smiled and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you come, why are you panicking?"
As he spoke, he looked towards the door of the law firm and said, "But this law firm is a lot quieter than before."
Ma Tianhao said: "Old Fan is the only one in there, how can it not be lonely?"
Cao Han asked: "Just one person?"
Ma Tianhao nodded and said, "Didn't the ear pens in their store get beaten up in Kaifeng County last time? They are all recovering at home now."
Shen Huaixiao asked, "Where is Zhang San?"
Ma Tianhao said: "I heard from Lao Fan that he hasn't been here much these past few days. I guess it's because of this incident and he's too embarrassed to show up."
Chen Huaixiao and Cao Han looked at each other, and Chen Huaixiao said to Ma Tianhao: "Go and do your thing."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After Ma Tianhao left, Cao Han said, "It seems that the boy has learned his lesson this time."
Chen Huaixiao laughed and said, "Things in the world are often like this. Before, everyone let Xu Zhongtu do whatever he wanted for his sake and didn't hit him. No one knew what would happen after hitting him. In the end, they hit him. What can Xu Zhongtu do alone? From now on, everyone in the court knows how to deal with him."
"Brother Shen, what you said makes sense!" Cao Han nodded with a smile, and then said: "It's a pity that I had thought of so many ways to deal with this kid before. If I had known this would happen..."
Chen Huaixiao waved his hand: "Your method is not for dealing with Zhang San. If you can let Deng Wan and Lu Di stay with Wang Jiefu, they may be of great use in the future!"
......
During this period, Lu Huiqing was undoubtedly the busiest. On the one hand, he was looking for evidence and sending it to Zhang Fei, and on the other hand, he had to make secret arrangements. Fortunately, this guy was really capable and could handle everything in an orderly manner. The key was that he usually had to go to the Regulations Office of the Second Prefecture to formulate new laws and regulations.
In the evening of that day, after Lu Huiqing finished his business and came out of the imperial city, he took the opportunity to invite Lu Jiawen to a small restaurant.
For middle-level officials like them, it is better to eat in a restaurant than to hire a cook at home.
The people of the Song Dynasty, whether officials or common people, all liked to eat out and generally did not cook at home.
"What?"
Lu Jiawen looked at Lu Huiqing in shock, "Sue Kaifeng County Court in the name of the Court of Justice?"
Lu Huiqing nodded.
Lu Jiawen scratched his head and asked, "How...how do I tell you about this?"
Lu Huiqing said, "Geng Ming will file a complaint at the Siliyuan in a few days, and the judgment of your Siliyuan will eventually be handed over to Kaifeng County Court, where Magistrate Wang will make the final decision. Given the relationship between Magistrate Wang and Wei Yushan, he will definitely reject the case. At this time, you can sue Kaifeng County Court in the name of the Siliyuan in the Zuoyou Hall."
Lü Jiawen said in a taciturn manner: "But according to the court system, I should also submit a letter to the court to expose this case."
Lu Huiqing smiled and nodded, and then said, "But the court system does not prohibit your Siliyuan from suing."
Lu Jia thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems that there is no regulation."
The imperial court could never have imagined that this government office would sue the other government office and even hire an informant to fight the lawsuit. It was impossible for the court to set up regulations in this regard!
Lu Huiqing looked at the young man in his early twenties and asked with a smile, "Do you dare?"
“I dare you!”
Lu Jiawen showed an excited look on his face, "We are in the right, so why should we not dare? To be honest with you, I have had disputes with Magistrate Wang before. He is a higher official than me and I can't do anything to him. My elders don't like me to stir up trouble and always ask me to keep things quiet. If Lu Xiaokan supports me, I will seek justice from him this time."
Lu Huiqing smiled and nodded, then added: "But until the moment of prosecution, you must not reveal it, so as not to make them defensive."
They just want to exploit this loophole in the law. If others knew about it in advance, they might report it to the court and ask for it to be disallowed.
Lu Jiawen nodded and said, "Of course I know that."
Lu Huiqing added: "Besides that, you still have to struggle in the county government office and make the other officials of the Siliyuan feel wronged..."
Without waiting for him to finish, Lu Jiawen bowed and said, "Don't worry, Proofreader Lu, I will take care of this matter."
......
Zhang family.
“Oh my god…!”
Xu Zhiqian held her chin with her jade hand, looked at the pile of documents beside her, and complained: "I didn't expect the documents for this lawsuit to be so difficult to prepare. After so many days, half of them are still not sorted out."
"When it comes to money, you have to be careful. The same applies to lawsuits." Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Zhiqian again, "You didn't get tired so easily before. Are you trying to act like a spoiled child to me? I'm not very good at this, so you have to make it clear."
"Who is acting like a spoiled child with you? You are so shameless." Xu Zhiqian spat, and then said, "It's just that the documents I prepared before were all laws and regulations, as well as past cases, and this time they are mostly accounts. It's really tiring to read too much.
Alas... I never thought that this small wealthy family in Weiyu Mountain actually owns tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Jingdong. This is just the relatively easy to find out. No one knows how much more there is. He has no special privileges, but he doesn't even pay a penny of tax. It's really abominable. "
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Being able to evade taxes is a skill. Who is willing to pay taxes?"
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips: "This court really bullies the good and fears the evil, and only knows how to ask those ordinary people for money."
Zhang Fei smiled but said nothing.
Xu Zhiqian glanced at him and asked, "We still have so much paperwork to prepare, why did you let Geng Ming go and file a complaint?"
Zhang Fei said, "This is not my request, but Lu Xiaokan asked me to do this. They have almost finished formulating the new laws and regulations, so this matter cannot be delayed for too long. But it doesn't matter. It will take some time at the beginning, but the time is enough."
Dong Dong Dong!
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
Zhang Fei stood up and opened the door. Gao Wenyin came in with a tray. "Husband, Madam Xu, you have been working for so long. Take a break and have something to eat."
"It smells so good!" Xu Zhiqian sniffed, "I'm really a little hungry."
Gao Wenyin placed a bowl of porridge in front of Xu Zhiqian and said, "Eat some first. If it's not enough, I'll get more."
"Yes. Thank you, Sister Gao."
"You're welcome."
Gao Wenyin placed another portion in front of Zhang Fei and said, "You guys eat first, I'll collect it later."
Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "This is too much trouble, let's sit down and chat together!"
Gao Wenyin shook her head and said, "There's still something going on in the kitchen. I'll come back later."
After saying that, she walked out.
Gao Wenyin used to chat with them often, but since Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian confirmed their relationship, she tried her best not to disturb them.
“This woman.”
Zhang Fei shook his head helplessly.
Xu Zhiqian called softly, "Zhang San."
Zhang Fei turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Xu Zhiqian stammered, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Do you want to ask Wen Yin what she thinks about our relationship?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Zhang Fei said with emotion: "I think she should feel very relaxed."
"easy?"
"Um!"
Zhang Fei said: "You also know that she stays here and serves me wholeheartedly just to repay my kindness. If I don't marry her, she will definitely feel very guilty. So when she sees me marrying you, she will definitely feel relieved."
Xu Zhiqian immediately felt much more relaxed, but she said, "Don't talk nonsense, you haven't even married yet."
Zhang Fei winked at her and said, "After this lawsuit is over, let's discuss it carefully."
Xu Zhiqian was shy and silent, and turned her pretty face away proudly.
Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "What do you think?"
Xu Zhiqian was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said: "Gao Wenyin."
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I supported you in marrying Sister Gao from the beginning, and I won't regret it now."
Zhang Fei asked: "Aren't you jealous?"
Xu Zhiqian thought about it seriously, "After my mother passed away, my father never remarried, so I also think monogamy is best, but Sister Gao is really hard to make people jealous."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhang Fei with her beautiful eyes, "It's useless even if I'm jealous, you like Sister Gao so much."
Zhang Fei asked subconsciously: "How do you know?"
After saying that, he quickly closed his mouth and thought to himself, a man who has never been married is really inexperienced. He was easily tricked into revealing things. Next time, he will have to ask Cao Dongdong and the others.
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said, "I'm not blind, how can I not see it. Oh, and that Fang Yun, how can I be jealous enough?"
Zhang Fei already smelled a hint of jealousy and said hurriedly, "Don't talk nonsense. Fang Yun and I are truly brothers and sisters."
"Yeah?"
Xu Zhiqian snorted softly, "I don't believe it. But I am warning you, Fang Yun, you have to restrain yourself a little bit."
I'm still a virgin in my whole life, and you want me to be more restrained, do you have any shame? Zhang Fei muttered to himself, and then said: "If Fang Yun and I are really brother and sister, then... can this quota be given to someone else."
"......?"
......
In the early morning, the breeze blows gently, the morning mist quietly leaves, and a beam of golden morning sun shines in the mountains.
A scholar on the hillside raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said to the Taoist priest in front of him who was about 30 years old: "Everything is ready, you can go and sue, I guarantee that you will get what you want."
Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest immediately bowed and said, "Thank you very much for saving me. If I can get my revenge and be reunited with my wife and children in this life, I will be your slave for the rest of my life."
The scholar laughed and said, "What's the point of rescuing you and then making you work like a slave? It's getting late, you should go quickly."
"Geng Ming, goodbye."
The Taoist priest bowed again, then turned and walked down the slope, looking towards the southwest with an angry look.
That is where the Kaifeng County Court is located.
