Because of Zhang Fei's relationship with the police station and the tax commissioner, these powerful people had a stereotype about Zhang Fei, and they never thought of going to Zhang Fei to defend themselves.
He even guarded against Zhang Fei everywhere.
Lan Yuanzhen's words awakened the dreamer.
The tax commissioner is also hired with money, so why can't you hire one too.
Zhao Mansion.
Zhang Fei looked up at the eight graceful and pretty women in front of him, and suddenly felt like he was in a theme KTV. He then looked down at the ten gold ingots on the table and the precious silk beside them.
After a while, he turned his head and looked at Zhao Wenzheng, "Governor Zhao, please forgive my ignorance. I really don't know what Governor Zhao means by this...what does this mean?"
Zhao Wenzheng stroked his beard and laughed: "Sanlang is extremely smart, he should know this, right?"
Zhang Fei asked uncertainly, "Governor Zhao wants me to defend you?"
Zhao Wenzheng nodded: "As long as Sanlang agrees, these will all belong to Sanlang. After the matter is accomplished, I will also give you a generous reward."
...
...
Zhang Fei smiled slightly and said, "Governor Zhao is the first client who has come to me for defense in the past month."
Zhao Wenzheng first waved his hand to dismiss the women, then said to Zhang Fei: "That's because they are blind. Sanlang's litigation skills have already reached the pinnacle. How can Li Guozhong and others compare? They didn't invite the best, but invited those rotten trees. No wonder they have to suffer."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "I think they are not unaware of my methods."
Zhao Wenzheng asked in return: "Does Sanlang need to be selective about his customers when he opens the door to do business?"
Zhang Fei was startled, then smiled and nodded, saying, "Zhao Zhishi is right. This is not the way to do business."
"That's it."
Zhao Wenzheng said: "This business is all about money. As long as Sanlang is willing to defend me, we can negotiate the price."
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, "But the evidence from the procuratorate is solid, this lawsuit is not easy to win!"
Zhao Wenzheng said: "That's why I came to ask Sanlang to help."
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "To be honest with Governor Zhao, I am not sure of winning."
Zhao Wenzheng was delighted to hear this. If he was not sure of winning, then he could be sure of winning. He was almost in despair before. Li Guozhong and the others all thought that this lawsuit could not be won. He hurriedly asked, "Then I wonder what are Sanlang's chances of winning?"
Zhang Fei said: "If I take action, I will get 70% of the credit, but the exact amount will depend on the evidence."
Zhao Wenzheng was overjoyed. "I wonder if Sanlang is willing to defend me?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "I don't want those women. I will exchange them all for cash. I will pay 20,000 strings of cash first. It can be gold or silver. Even if I lose, I won't get the money back. But if I win, Governor Zhao will have to pay me another 10,000 strings of cash."
Those women are all pretty, but would he dare to accept them since they were given to him by Zhao Wenzhen?
"It's a deal." Zhao Wenzhen didn't even hesitate. He had no choice!
Zhang Fei said: "In addition, I have two more requests."
Zhao Wenzheng immediately said, "Sanlang, please speak."
Zhang Fei said: "First, Governor Zhao must bring money to my office to hire me."
"no problem!"
Zhao Wenzheng nodded, and then asked, "But why?"
Zhang Fei said: "Sincerity!"
Zhao Wenzheng was stunned, and nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, yes, I should have come here in person. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Zhang Fei added: "Secondly, Governor Zhao must fully cooperate with me and provide all the accounts I require."
Zhao Wenzheng nodded repeatedly and said, "These are all small matters, no problem."
Zhang Fei said: "Then let's do this for now."
Zhao Wenzheng cupped his hands and said, "I'll leave all this to Sanlang."
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded.
......
The next day!
Zhao Wenzhen personally brought gold worth ten thousand strings of cash and went to the Bian Jing Law Firm in a blatant manner, and signed an employment contract with Zhang Fei.
The procuratorate has already obtained irrefutable evidence and has filed a lawsuit with the imperial court. How can Zhao Wenzhen still have any shame? I'm just here to ask for help.
This isn't illegal!
"Sanlang, what are you doing?"
Fan Li held the employment contract that had just been signed and looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.
Zhang Fei said: "Let's file a lawsuit!"
Fan Li swallowed, "I know."
"I know, but you still ask."
"but."
Fan Li said: "But Sanlang, what you did is deliberately making things difficult for everyone."
Zhang Fei asked: "What do you mean?"
Fan Li said: "Before, everyone regarded the tax commissioner as a thorn in their side, but you wanted to help the tax commissioner to fight a lawsuit. Now the situation is reversed. Everyone is staring at Governor Zhao, and you want to fight a lawsuit for Governor Zhao. You......"
He was speechless because of this hatred.
Zhang Fei said unhappily, "Mr. Yuanwai, you can't think like that. At first, the tax commissioner invited me, and I fought for him. Now, Governor Zhao invited me, and I fought for him. My standards have never changed."
Fan Li said: "Then why don't you help Qin Biao, Xu Yu and others in the lawsuit."
Zhang Fei said: "Of course it's because they didn't invite me. Is this my fault?"
"......?"
Fan Li's expression froze for a moment, and he continued, "But the evidence from the procuratorate is irrefutable, and this case will be difficult to win."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "It's clearly written in the contract. If you lose the fight, you won't get your money back. What are you worried about?"
Fan thought the same thing, even if he lost, he could still make money.
......
However, everyone in the government and the country is keeping an eye on Zhao Wenzhen, and his every move is under surveillance. Therefore, when everyone learned that Zhao Wenzhen actually went to the Bian Jing Law Firm, they were all shocked.
Not to mention them, even Zhang Fei's partner was shocked by the news.
Xu Zhiqian's eyes widened as she looked at Zhang Fei in disbelief. "You...you want to help Governor Zhao with the lawsuit?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said with a smile: "It's a deal of 20,000 guan. Even if I lose, I can still earn 10,000 guan. I can't refuse it."
“Why…?”
As soon as the words came out, Xu Zhiqian seemed to remember something and couldn't help asking, "Did you plan this in advance?"
Zhang Fei was stunned, "How do you know?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "I remember you told Dad at the beginning that you hoped to compete with Dad at that time."
Zhang Fei said: "But I have fought with the procuratorate before, and they were defeated."
Xu Zhiqian said: "In the lawsuit about the tax commissioner, the procuratorate was only forced to sue the tax commissioner. In fact, Dad didn't want to do it either. It can't be considered a real contest. But this time, the procuratorate must have Governor Zhao."
At work, she is my assistant. If I tell her, I believe the government will understand. Zhang Fei was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, this has been planned for a long time."
"Why?"
Xu Zhiqian was really puzzled this time and was eager to know the answer.
Because she knew that Zhang Fei must have a purpose, but she never expected that Zhang Fei would mention Zhao Wen Zheng to defend him. Wasn't it the Tax Commissioner who forced Zhao Wen Zheng to this point?
If you suddenly slam on the brakes at this point, then what’s the point of everything you did before?
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "If we convict Governor Zhao, what will we gain?"
Xu Zhiqian immediately replied: "First, this can deter the royal family and make them pay the exemption tax. Secondly, Governor Zhao deserves it."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "First, even if I help Governor Zhao win the lawsuit, they will still have to pay the exemption tax, because the tax department and the procuratorate have already intimidated them, and the key is that they will not be willing to spend 20,000 strings of cash to evade 100 strings of tax.
Secondly, punishing Governor Zhao is not very meaningful for the country. Even if he is killed, what will happen? Asking the royal family to pay some taxes, even if they pay the full amount, is just a drop in the bucket. The root of the problem is not here. "
Xu Zhiqian asked, "Then is it meaningful for you to help Governor Zhao win the lawsuit?"
"certainly."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Besides the procuratorate, who else wants to punish Governor Zhao?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Almost all the ministers in the court hope that Governor Zhao will be severely punished."
"Why?"
"Because they had hoped to use the royal family to cover up for themselves, but now Xu Yu and the others have been sentenced, and only Governor Zhao is left. So they think the government is trying to protect the royal family, which they cannot accept."
At this point, Xu Zhiqian was startled, "Do you want to...?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Simply punishing Governor Zhao will only make their alliance stronger. Only by helping Governor Zhao escape punishment will they hate him to the extreme and intensify their efforts to put pressure on the government, and even report to the government and demand reforms of the royal family."
"Zong...Zong clan reform?" Xu Zhiqian couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and suddenly woke up, muttering to herself: "The imperial family is the most ruthless."
Without the emperor's approval, Zhang Fei would never dare to do this.
Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I want to say something fair for the emperor. It's not that the emperor is heartless, but that they are too greedy. The emperor just wants to rule by law and reduce the burden that the royal family brings to the country and the people, not to put them to death."
Xu Zhiqian said: "But...but the evidence from the procuratorate is irrefutable, so there is no point in filing this lawsuit, or is there something wrong with the evidence?"
"There is nothing wrong with the evidence."
"How do you know?"
"Because I arranged for someone to provide them all."
......
Li family.
"It has been confirmed. Zhang San has indeed taken over Zhao Wenzheng's lawsuit."
Li Lei said to Li Guozhong, Fei Ming and others.
Fei Ming couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Why did Zhang San do this?"
Li Guozhong asked, "Why else?"
Fei Ming said: "You said it was the government that came forward."
"Need I say more?" Li Guozhong said.
It is obvious that the emperor wants to save the royal family.
Fei Ming was confused again: "But there is no way to file this lawsuit!"
Li Guozhong couldn't help but look at Li Lei, "Leier, do you think there's a chance of winning this lawsuit?"
Li Lei shook his head, with a hint of frustration on his face.
If there was a little hope, he would try his best to fight for it. He really didn't see any hope, but now Zhang Fei took it, which at least proved that there was hope, which made him very frustrated.
......
Establish regulations offices in the two prefectures.
"What the hell is Zhang San doing?"
Han Jiang came into the house angrily and complained to Wang Anshi.
Everything was going in a good direction at the moment, and the money was about to be collected, but Zhang Fei suddenly did this, which made Han Jiang very puzzled!
He even thought that Zhang Fei did this just to make money for himself.
Wang Anshi waved his hand and said, "Brother Zihua, please be patient."
Han Jiang immediately looked at Wang Jiefu and asked, "Does Jiefu know the reason?"
"I don't know. But..." Wang Anshi chuckled, "But I know Zhang San's character."
Han Jiang asked: "What is a human being?"
"He is a businessman, not a scholar."
Wang Anshi smiled and said, "As long as you can afford the money, he will not refuse you. He helped me a lot, but he also helped Sima Junshi a lot."
Han Jiang said: "This thief has his own code of conduct. On the one hand, he helps the police station with strategies, but on the other hand, he defends Governor Zhao. Even businessmen cannot do this."
Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "Even if he defends Governor Zhao, it will not affect the exemption tax."
Han Jiang said: "Why not? It is this illegal income that forces them to pay taxes. If they cannot be convicted of a crime, they will just feel safe and secure."
Wang Anshi asked, "Does Brother Zihua think that they would rather spend 20,000 strings of cash to hire Zhang San than pay the tax?"
Han Jiang said nothing.
If it was only one thousand strings of cash, it would be fine, but twenty thousand strings of cash was really too much. Even among the big landlords, few could afford this much money.
Wang Anshi added: "Brother Zihua, rest assured, Zhang San will never undermine the exemption tax. He is just hired by someone."
The person he was referring to was not Zhao Wenzhen, but the emperor.
Han Jiang sat down and said with a frown, "It is not convincing that the royal family can escape the crime even though they both violated the law."
Wang Anshi sighed, "The government also has its own difficulties. Moreover, the government did not come forward to protect Zhao Wenzheng. It was Zhao Wenzheng who asked Zhang San to defend him. This cannot be said to be partiality and perversion of the law."
But I thought in my heart, you guys underestimate the government too much. Those who want to accomplish great things will not be bound by this. This is probably a plan by the government to kill two birds with one stone!
