For Sima Guang, who was obsessed with moral purity, this was truly a misstep that would lead to eternal regret.
He originally just wanted to play a prank on Zhang Fei.
But he never expected that Zhang Fei would give him a nightmare in return.
This is really super double.
If these two things are linked together, the nature of the incident changes completely. One is just the "care" of the elders for the younger generation, which is harmless, while the other is a political operation.
Of course Xu Zun and his daughter were also quite surprised by this.
As soon as Sima Guang and Wang Anshi left, they saw Xu Zun and his daughter walking out from the back of the hall.
"I really didn't expect that this was actually done by them."
Xu Zun shook his head.
Who could have thought that Sima Guang and Wang Anshi would put aside their past grudges and work together just to play a prank on Zhang Fei.
...
...
this.......
Thinking of this, Xu Zun added, "If this matter gets out, I'm afraid no one will believe them."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "If the two of them get in the way, it will be hard for me to succeed."
Originally, he planned to follow the old routine and go to Wang Anshi first, because he knew that Wang Anshi would definitely agree. Not only could it fire the first shot for his new law, but it would also make Sima Guang unable to sleep.
γ
But Zhang Fei didn't expect that Cao Dongdong would suddenly appear, so he chose to ask Zhao Xu for help.
Let Zhao Xu give Cao Ping power.
Xu Zhiqian asked: "When did you know?"
Zhang Fei thought for a moment and said, "I guess it was when I met Fan Sijian that I began to have some doubts. Later, combined with what my father-in-law said, I am almost certain that this was definitely done by them."
"I see." Xu Zhiqian nodded and smiled, "You really killed two birds with one stone with this move. Not only did you get your revenge, but you also made those dignitaries pay for their carriages and horses to subsidize those yamen servants."
Xu Zun waved his hand: "This matter is not simple. If this is how we can make them pay, there wouldn't be so many conflicts in the court."
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "My father-in-law is right. Of course it won't be that simple. This little money may not be enough for them to exempt me from the Yaqian service. Therefore, I will set up traffic regulations in the future, and at the same time rectify the situation of street occupation."
The encroachment on the streets in the city of Bianliang had become very serious. It was not that no one had mentioned it before, but since most of the people who did so were high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it caused great obstacles. It was not until the reign of Emperor Huizong that legislation was enacted to levy taxes on it.
Xu Zun was surprised and asked, "How can a mere official like you do this?"
Fan Zhongyan also mentioned this matter, but it was never resolved.
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Father-in-law, you are wrong. I am now the top yamen official in Tokyo."
Xu Zun was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard and smiled, "Then I will have to wait and see."
.......
The next day.
Zhang Fei went out with his heart full of desire, but saw two carriages parked at the door.
Long Wu whispered, "This carriage has been parked here since early morning."
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage behind was suddenly lifted, revealing a pair of eagle eyes staring at him.
"Follow me, don't go too far away, or I'll be chased down at any time."
Zhang Fei gave Long Wu an instruction and went to the carriage at the back.
Next to the car, he first bowed and saluted, "Patrolman Zhang San greets Deputy Commander Bu."
"Get in the car."
"yes."
The owner of this carriage was Cao Ping.
As soon as they got into the carriage, Cao Ping frowned and said, "You are such a troublemaker. Even as a yamen runner, you can still cause so much trouble."
Zhang Fei said, "In reply to the deputy commander, I have fought lawsuits for the Yaqian Yi many times before, but it was only when I really became a Yaqian Yi that I finally realized the hardship. I do dirty and tiring work every day, and even help others clean up their messes. But if there is a problem, we are always responsible for it. This is not fair, so I hope to improve this situation."
Cao Ping smiled wryly and said, "You are quite eloquent."
The Yaqianyi he was talking about were precisely the imperial guards. He then asked, "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Fei said: "I hope to use this incident to build a strict law enforcement force. Only in front of the law can everyone still talk about reason."
Cao Ping hesitated for a moment, "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. No matter what, this is your fault. If you are not careful, you will bear all the responsibility."
"yes."
Zhang Fei nodded: "Although I am just a small yamen servant, I believe I have the ability to bear all of this, because many people can't wait to get rid of me."
Cao Ping laughed at first, then frowned and said, "Get out of the car."
"Zhang San obeys your command."
Zhang Fei clasped his fists and saluted, but before getting off the car, he suddenly turned around and said, "I hope I can see the deputy marshal being the first to apply for a license plate. Otherwise, if he is caught, it will be very embarrassing for everyone."
After saying that, he jumped out of the car.
Cao Ping laughed and scolded, "You little bastard."
But he never forgot that he was also a noble and a relative of the emperor, and he also had to pay the money.
But if Zhang Fei can succeed, the power of the three yamen will certainly be expanded.
This business is a sure win!
......
Inspection Department.
But in the courtyard, which was not big to begin with, there were about a hundred people standing, making it look very crowded.
"Zhang San, these are patrolmen that we carefully selected from the military patrol station. Most of them are former yamen soldiers. Although they are not as good as the fire alarms, but... you can just use them as you like."
Cao Dongdong whispered to Zhang Fei.
Cao Dongdong's job is only to patrol, not to deal with fire alarms. That position is not something that everyone can hold, and one must have rich experience.
"That's about the same."
Zhang Fei nodded, and then said to Ma Xiaoyi: "Xiao Ma, how are the things I asked you to prepare going?"
"Don't worry, Third Brother, everything is ready."
After Ma Xiaoyi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and an idle man came up with a tray. On the tray were many small strips of cloth. At a glance, one could vaguely see some symbols embroidered on the small strips of cloth that were the same as the license plate number.
In fact, it is Arabic numerals.
Zhang Fei picked up the 001 cloth strip and handed it to Cao Dongdong, "You are the boss, so you should use the top card."
Cao Dongdong took it and said, "When we go to a brothel, we also want the top girl."
Zhang Fei looked at him enviously, then picked up the 002 strip of cloth and handed it to Ma Xiaoyi, saying, "Xiao Ma."
"Thank you, Third Brother."
Ma Xiaoyi took it excitedly and asked immediately: "Third brother, what is this for?"
Cao Dongdong also looked at Zhang Fei curiously.
"You will know in a moment."
Zhang Fei said as he took the cloth strip 003 and told the idle man, "Give them one each."
After a while, the patrolmen each held a piece of cloth in their hands, but their eyes were full of confusion.
Zhang Fei stood in front of the team and said loudly: "After you go back, sew this strip of cloth on your left shoulder. The symbol on it is your code name.
The reason I do this is to make it easier for the people to remember you and file a complaint against you. Therefore, when you perform your duties in the future, you must show your code name to the people, and then solemnly tell the people that if they are dissatisfied with the punishment, they can choose to go to the Legal Aid Department to file a complaint against me. My police number is 003. If you do not say this, it will be regarded as dereliction of duty. "
Upon hearing this, Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi quickly covered their hands with the cloth strips, fearing that they would be seen.
Feelings are meant to make it easier for others to complain about you.
This must not be seen by anyone.
Suddenly, someone in the team muttered, "Who would be so stupid as to allow someone to complain about them?"
Zhang Fei immediately asked, "Who was talking just now?"
No one in the team answered.
Zhang Fei waited for a while and said, "In that case, you will be responsible for clearing the canal today."
"he!"
But I saw more than ten people pointing at a young man in his early twenties next to them.
The young man was very depressed and raised his hand and said, "Yes...I said it."
Zhang Fei pointed to the side and said, "Go over there and repeat what I just said with your code name five hundred times."
"ah?"
"A thousand times."
"yes."
The man immediately ran to the corner and shouted loudly.
The rest were all silent.
"Zhang San."
Cao Dongdong came to his senses and asked, "What is the Legal Aid Department? I have never heard of it."
Zhang Fei replied: "This Legal Aid Department has just been established, right......!"
Before he could finish his words, he heard someone shout, "Sorry! Sorry! I'm late."
Cao Dongdong opened his eyes, "Fan Sijian?"
The person who came was Fan Chunren.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Mr. Fan is the boss of the Legal Aid Department."
"Ah?" Cao Dongdong couldn't help but look shocked.
Zhang Fei stepped forward and said, "I'm really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Fan, to make this trip."
Fan Chunren smiled and said, "If you hadn't invited me, I would have had to file a petition to impeach you."
"It seems that Mr. Fan does not have this power now."
"Don't underestimate me. I am quite popular in the court."
βYes, yes, yes!β
Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly and pointed to the side, "Mr. Fan, please."
Fan Chunren stood at the position designated by Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei said to the patrolman in front of him, "This is Mr. Fan Chunren. Remember his appearance, because he will become your natural enemy and specialize in handling cases where the people complain about you. When he is unhappy, he may take you to court."
Fan Chunren quickly said, "Patrolman Zhang, you are joking. I won't do that. I will only deal with the matter at hand."
He was very opposed to this license plate number at first. He believed that Cao Yanei just wanted to make money for the military patrol shop and compete with the people for profits, which would definitely breed a lot of corruption.
This is absolutely not possible.
It was not until Zhang Fei told him the Legal Aid Department's idea that he immediately agreed.
He thought this was a great idea. Complaints could be made and lawsuits could be filed on the spot. The key point was that the Legal Aid Department was not under the jurisdiction of the three yamen, so it could serve as a good check and balance for all parties.
So he agreed with great excitement.
Fan Chunren bowed to the patrolmen and said, "I hope I won't see you in court in the future."
Having said that, the patrolmen all looked as pale as death.
At this moment, they really want to take off the uniforms. Others enforce the law for money, but for us, enforcing the law costs our lives, and they are our own lives!
Zhang Fei added: "Therefore, you will receive some training during your duty in the next month. In simple terms, you will be taught a set of law enforcement procedures. From now on, everyone must enforce the law according to this procedure. Otherwise, you will be the only ones who suffer.
After all, we can't help you with the matter in court.
Of course, our Inspection Department will double your remuneration. In addition, if there are no complaints this year, or if there are complaints but all are unsuccessful, we will give you bonuses at the end of the year, and even promote you to higher positions.β
After these words were spoken, the patrolmen who had looked ashen just now all straightened their backs.
You should have said it earlier!
It's both a pay raise and a promotion.
Then we have nothing to say.
You can't just tell the horse to run without letting it eat grass.
But Cao Dongdong had something to say, and whispered from behind: "Zhang San! Zhang San!"
Zhang Fei turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Cao Dongdong whispered, "Come with me into the house."
Zhang Fei then said to Fan Chunren: "Sir, please introduce yourself to them first. Maybe they don't know your resume."
Fan Chunren hurriedly said, "I'm not here to scare people with my resume. Whether it's illegal or not, it still depends on the law."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Then you can do whatever you want, sir. I'll be leaving for a moment."
As he said this, he and Cao Dongdong went into the house.
"Zhang San, why did you call Fan Sijian here?" Cao Dongdong said excitedly, "Do you know that even my father is afraid of him? If you do this, aren't you sending us to his doorstep to be impeached?"
Zhang Fei said: "I have no choice. Our military patrol station lacks supervision. We only have two eyes and can't keep an eye on them. Especially at this moment, if they commit a crime, the consequences will be very serious."
"That won't work either."
Cao Dongdong shook his head: "If I commit a crime, Fan Sijian will also sue me. He is the son of Lord Fan, he is not afraid of me."
Zhang Fei said: "Yanei, close your eyes first."
"What?"
"Close it first."
Cao Dongdong looked at him suspiciously, then closed his eyes obediently.
Zhang Fei said: "You may want to think about it. Under your leadership, in Bianliang City, no one picks up lost items on the road, doors are not locked at night, the streets are clean, there are many cars and people, and there are laughter and joy everywhere.
This is something that many wise officials have never done. How will the emperor praise you? How will Empress Dowager Cao praise you?
I think the Queen Mother will say that you are unfilial. At such a young age, you have surpassed your father in political achievements, making your father look so mediocre. Before you even reach 30, you have become the youngest infantry commander in the Song Dynasty. Your father was forced to retire and return home to enjoy his old age, and Yanei will become the youngest head of the Cao family.
Thinking about all this, do you still think it's not worth it?"
Cao Dongdong shuddered suddenly, as if Gaocao had descended upon him. He opened his eyes and said excitedly, "It's worth it! It's totally worth it!"
But as he spoke, he became a little worried: "But if I get complained about, then my aunt......!"
Zhang Fei sighed, "You are stupid! As long as you restrain yourself, you will never be complained about. After all, you don't need to be on duty. As the leader, the credit is yours and the fault is others'. Yanei should know this principle better than me."
Cao Dongdong's eyes lit up, "Yes! Let's take the credit. Anyway, everyone will know that this was all your idea, Zhang San. If anyone wants to find someone, they will find trouble with you. You are smart. Okay, let's do it."
"......?"
