The scene of people waiting in front of Zhang's door has appeared several times.
Zhang Fei is no longer surprised.
However, the first few times were really full of positive energy. Everyone cheered for Zhang Fei together, and the scene was tear-jerking.
This time everyone was even more enthusiastic and cheered along with Zhang Fei.
I just hope he loses this lawsuit.
Where is the sense of justice?
I can only say that gambling ruins everything.
Money can distort all values.
Just when Zhang Fei was halfway to Kaifeng Prefecture, Li Guozhong and others were already waiting there. They were so well behaved!
"President Li!"
...
...
"I have met Judge Li."
Seeing Li Kailai, Li Guozhong and others stood up and bowed.
Be extremely respectful.
At this moment, Li Kai suddenly felt that he didn't actually hate these ear pens, he just hated Zhang Fei.
Look at these ear pens, how cute, how well behaved, and how inviting they are to touch.
They are both ear pens, why is there such a big difference?
Li Kai couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and said to Li Guozhong with a smile: "Li Xingshou."
"The villain is here."
Li Guozhong bowed again.
Li Kai said: "Prefect Lu believes that the new interrogation method is fairer. I wonder if you can adapt to it."
There was no such thing as ear-to-ear confrontation before. This was brought in by Zhang Fei, but it has not been determined what method of interrogation should be conducted and what the rules are.
All parties had to discuss it beforehand, but those were unwritten rules.
Li Guozhong and others looked at each other.
For them, of course, the older ones were more suitable, so Zhou Cai, who was the defendant, suddenly stood up and said, "President Li, this is unfair to us! After all, Zhang San has been beaten in this way several times."
Li Kai waved his hand.
Li Guozhong and Zhou Cai immediately walked into the corner with him.
Li Kai whispered: "In fact, this interrogation method is more beneficial to you."
Zhou Cai asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Kai said: "Have you forgotten that the new interrogation method was designed to deal with Zhang San? If we use the old method, Zhang San will be able to say anything. Besides, that guy dares to say anything. I'm afraid they won't dare to respond."
That method was brought by Zhang Fei, but it was not designed by Zhang Fei. In the initial lawsuit involving Lin Fei, Huang Gui came out to help with the litigation. Later, Fan Chunren appeared and asked Wang Anshi to take the witness stand.
This is all to deal with Zhang Fei, not to help Zhang Fei.
Li Guozhong nodded slightly: "President Li is right. In fact, we have studied the new interrogation method for several days. We are fully prepared and are not afraid of him."
"That's good."
Li Kai nodded: "This case may take many days to try, you have time to get familiar with it, don't be too nervous, if there are any questions, I will give you a signal."
"Hey, you! Thank you so much, Judge Li."
"Winning against that kid is the best way to thank me."
Li Kai was in charge of arranging the spies, witnesses, and guests who came to watch the trial.
Huang Gui was in charge of preparing the documents to be used later.
...For this lawsuit, Kaifeng Prefecture had to prepare a lot of information. After all, it concerned the taxes of 108 people, so the three departments sent two large carts of documents over.
Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County also sent two or three trucks of documents.
Huang Gui flipped through the wrinkled account book that had just been dried, and secretly glanced at Lu Gong, "Prefect, don't you want to take a look?"
Lu Gong put down the teacup and said, "No need, just prepare what you will need later. When they mention it, show it to me."
"yes."
Huang Gui nodded.
The account book of Gouyuan was delivered just yesterday, but Lu Gong didn't even look at it for fear of dirtying his eyes.
While they were preparing, the door was already crowded with people, forcing the officials who came to watch the trial to go through the side door.
"What does Fan Sijian think?"
Qian Yi asked Fan Chunren beside him.
Fan Chunren shook his head. "It's hard to say. The most important thing in this lawsuit is evidence, and they are hiding all of it now. They haven't handed it over to Kaifeng Prefecture. Who wins and who loses depends on what evidence they can produce in court."
Qian Yi nodded and sighed, "The water leak in the courtyard a few days ago was definitely not an accident. I'm afraid that Zhang San is in great danger this time!"
Fan Chunren asked, "I heard that Censor Qian also reported this matter to the emperor?"
Qian Yi nodded: "But without evidence, I dare not say anything. I just suggested that the government send someone to protect the evidence. It seems that the government also sent people to investigate, but they didn't find anything."
Suddenly, someone reached out and called out, "Fan Sijian."
Fan Chunren looked back and said, "Su Zizhan."
The visitors were none other than the two brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe.
Su Shi came forward, bowed to the two men, and then asked with a smile: "Why didn't they ask Fan Sijian to come out this time?"
Su Che, who was standing by, was about to go crazy.
Are we really brothers?
Fan Chunren's expression changed slightly, and he said with a little embarrassment: "Maybe they saw me lose to Zhang San several times in a row, so they don't have confidence in me."
He didn't want to defend the landlords, but since Su Shi asked this question, if he answered in this way, it would seem like he was making excuses, so he just said it straight.
Su Shi laughed and said, "Fan Sijian is wrong."
Su Zhe quietly pulled Su Shi's sleeve and whispered, "Second brother, please say less."
Su Shi pretended not to hear.
Fan Chunren asked, "I wonder what advice Zizhan has?"
Su Shi said: "In fact, Fan Sijian did win the chance several times before, but Fan Sijian attached too much importance to morality and gave up many opportunities on his own initiative."
Qian Yi frowned and said, "Why not pay attention to morality?"
Su Shi smiled and said, "A lawsuit is like a war. The key is to defeat the other party. As long as the means do not violate the rules, there is no need to talk about any morality. After all, the final judgment is not made by the ear, but by the chief judge."
Fan Chunren hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "You are right." After a pause, he continued, "I heard that you want to join the procuratorate."
Su Shi smiled and nodded: "That's what I meant."
Fan Chunren chuckled and said, "I hope I can see Zizhan in court."
...Su Shi bowed and said, "I appreciate Sijian's advice. If I had the chance, I would have fought Zhang San a long time ago."
Fan Chunren smiled and said, "If Zhang San can still win this lawsuit, I think he should have a chance."
Su Shi smiled and said, "Zhang San will definitely win this lawsuit. I have already bet fifty strings of cash, but it's a pity that the compensation is a little too little."
Su Zhe suddenly asked, "Second brother, where did you get the money?"
"Me." Su Shi was stunned.
Su Zhe looked at Su Shi and asked, "Could it be that Second Brother took it from under the bed?"
Su Shi hurriedly said, "Oh! Third brother, why did you tell me where we hid the money?"
Fan Chunren and Qian Yi looked at each other, both not knowing whether to laugh or cry. They said "goodbye" and went in first.
Su Shi wanted to follow him in, but Su Zhe held him back and said, "Brother, that's our rent for next month, how can you use it to gamble?"
Su Shi said: "Don't worry, third brother, I will definitely win."
Su Che immediately said, "Nine out of ten bets are lost, so there is no way you can be sure of winning."
Su Shi also knew his younger brother's character, "Hey, young man! At worst, I can go to a brothel and sell a few poems to earn some money. We have studied for so many years, how can we starve to death?"
Su Che had a headache and said, "Next time I will hide the money at the home of Sima Daxueshi."
"ah?"
Not long after the brothers went in, they saw two old men walking slowly towards them under the shade of trees.
Wang Anshi and Sima Guang were the two enemies.
This time they did not meet at the door, but had a battle at the intersection ahead.
Apart from teasing each other, it seems that the two have nothing in common. After all, their common hobbies are so boring.
"Jun Shi, have you been reflecting at home recently?"
"Reflect?"
Sima Guang looked at Wang Anshi in confusion, "What should I reflect on?"
Wang Anshi said: "This is the result of keeping wealth among the people."
Sima Guang snorted, "Have you ever reflected on this at home? If you file a lawsuit, the roof of the court will leak. If you reform the law, the Yellow River will flood!"
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "To be honest, I have reflected on this."
"Really?" Sima Guang asked, "Tell me about it."
Wang Anshi said: "I just want to use this lawsuit to see what methods they have. When I reform the law, I will know how to deal with them."
Sima Guang chuckled twice: "What you saw is just the tip of the iceberg!"
Suddenly, cheers were heard coming from the main gate.
Sima Guang said, "It must be that kid Zhang San who has come."
Wang Anshi laughed and said, "Did you hear that? A man of virtue will have many supporters."
Fortunately, he didn't hear clearly, otherwise Wang Anshi would have been severely slapped in the face by Sima Guang.
It was indeed Zhang Fei who came, but the cheers were so funny that one could not help laughing or crying.
Zhang Fei got out of the carriage and raised his hand, "Stop shouting, stop shouting, I'll try my best to lose."
"Thank you very much!"
"Sanlang, can you lose faster? It would be best if you lose in the morning. I'm still waiting for the gambling money to be paid at noon today!"
"Fuck! Please have some shame, this is outrageous."
After cursing, Zhang Fei jumped off the carriage helplessly, and gently helped Xu Zhiqian out of the carriage.
…Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips tightly, trying not to smile.
Zhang Fei whispered, "Hold it back. If you laugh, they might misunderstand that we are confident. Then many people will jump off the building, no, jump into the river."
Xu Zhiqian glared at him, but actually suppressed her smile to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, I saw Li Kai standing in front of the door.
Zhang Fei hurried forward and bowed, "Hey, young boy! How could I dare to trouble Judge Li to come out and greet you in person?"
Li Kai laughed and said, "You are so arrogant, if I don't go out to greet you, I'm afraid I'll be scolded by the people! Please come in, Big Ear Pen. Lawyer Xu."
It would be fine if you called me Big Ear Pen, but you also added "Lawyer Xu". You are deliberately trying to confuse me.
Zhang Fei felt depressed, but there was nothing he could do. Now, ear pen has almost become his special term.
When we arrived at the yard, we saw two very simple wooden sheds with just a roof and four pillars. However, they were connected by corridors on the left and right sides, and there were two rows of long tables under the sheds.
Even so, Zhang Fei couldn't help but exclaim, "President Li, the provincial government really took care of us this time and built two such luxurious sheds for us. I am really grateful."
When Xu Zhiqian heard the word "luxury", she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Kai didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, this money was all paid by you."
"We go out?" Zhang Fei blinked.
Li Kai nodded and said, "You will each pay 500 strings of cash, for a total of 1,000 strings of cash."
"that."
Zhang Fei coughed twice: "When I said luxurious just now, it was just a polite remark!"
Li Kai said: "The shed is a small matter, the key is how much trouble you add to our Kaifeng Prefecture every time you come back. Look, how many chairs are placed on the corridor, and how much tea is prepared. Don't these manpower and material resources cost money?
The key is that your litigation fee has reached 10,000 strings of cash, and asking you for 500 strings of cash is really a bargain for you."
I relied on my ability, but you are just abusing your power for personal gain! Zhang Fei said awkwardly, "Money is a small matter, but if this precedent is set, I'm afraid someone will deliberately raise the litigation fees and exploit the people."
Li Kai immediately said: "Don't worry, this is only for you, Zhang San, the rest of the people will not change."
Zhang Fei said bitterly, "It's not right to bully people."
"It's to bully you." Li Kai said, "Why don't you just come over!"
Zhang Fei said, "How can I earn the 9,500 strings of cash if I don't come?"
"Stop talking nonsense and stay there."
Li Kai pointed to the shed on the left.
Zhang Fei curled his lips and shook his head, "Zhi Qian, let's go."
Coming to the bottom of the shed, Zhang Fei looked at Qiu Zhengwen who was holding a rag, "Zhengwen, what are you doing?"
Qiu Zhengwen said: "I saw that the table was a little dirty, so I wiped it."
"What?"
Zhang Fei said depressedly: "This is the treatment for 500 strings of cash. The government is the worst. It is illegal for others to rob money, and the government robs money. We have to prepare donkey carts to facilitate them to transport the money. This is really too much."
Xu Zhiqian whispered, "Just say less. There are officials everywhere here."
Zhang Fei glanced at him and said, "What are you afraid of? My father-in-law is the same."
