Chapter 472: Calf Lineup



"Deputy Commander!"

Cao Ping came out of the imperial city with a frown on his face. Suddenly he heard a shout and looked up. He saw Ma Tianhao coming over and asked in surprise, "Old Four?"

When Ma Tianhao approached, he asked, "Why are you here?"

Ma Tianhao said nervously, "I heard earlier that the court has decided to send Zhang San to Hezhong Prefecture to build the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs. That guy is very likely to drag Dong'er and Xiaoyi with him, so I came here specially to remind the deputy commander."

A hint of depression flashed across Cao Ping's eyes, but he asked, "Isn't it good to go somewhere else?"

Ma Tianhao groaned, "If you want to go there to do other things, it's not impossible, but if you want to go there to deal with the police, procuratorate or court, you can't do that, because you will definitely offend everyone."

Hezhong Prefecture is really different from Kaifeng Prefecture. Kaifeng Prefecture is very law-abiding. After all, it is under the feet of the emperor. But in Hezhong Prefecture, there are few people who have no integrity. If you really want to enforce the law strictly, you will offend everyone.

He once served in the Imperial Guards, had been there, and knew what the situation was like there.

There are countless shady operations over there, and all of them have strong backgrounds. He thinks it is impossible to clear up this pool of dirty water.

Even Lao Si, a businessman, knew about it. Alas! Cao Ping closed his eyes and sighed, "It's too late!"

...

...

"Too late?"

Ma Tianhao looked at Cao Ping in surprise.

Cao commented: "The emperor summoned me to the palace just now to discuss this matter. The emperor has decided to transfer Dong'er to Hezhong Prefecture to serve as the chief police officer of Hezhong Prefecture."

Ma Tianhao frowned and asked, "Did the deputy commander agree?"

"I."

Cao Ping shook his head. "Let's talk about it after we get in the car."

After getting on the carriage, Cao Ping said solemnly, "The emperor is dedicated to governing the country and reforming the system. He has just expressed his respect for our Cao family. If I refuse, the emperor may think that our Cao family is not on the same page with him. I can't refuse."

Ma Tianhao said worriedly: "Dong'er's character is really hard to be trusted!"

Cao Ping sighed bitterly, "I have mentioned this to the emperor, but he is very optimistic about Dong'er and has praised Dong'er for what he has done recently. What else can I say?"

Ma Tianhao rolled his eyes and said quickly, "Deputy Commander, don't let Xiaoyi go with you. If the two of them are together, they will get into trouble one day and become lawless."

You are a relative by marriage, so you have no choice, but I am not!

Cao Ping glanced at Ma Tianhao, knowing what he was planning, and said, "Do you really think that the emperor values ​​Dong'er so much? Even if he really values ​​him, he wouldn't have summoned me to the palace to discuss this matter."

Ma Tianhao was stunned. "The deputy commander is saying that this was done by Zhang San?"

"That must be the case." Cao Ping snorted, and then said, "Dong'er also got to know Zhang San through Xiaoyi. Do you think Zhang San will let Xiaoyi go? The emperor just specifically mentioned that Dong'er should take Xiaoyi with him."

Ma Tianhao could not help but gnashed his teeth in hatred, "That stinky boy!"

Now that the matter has been implemented, all parties have to reorganize their personnel. At present, only Kaifeng Prefecture has a complete public security, procuratorial and judicial system, so people can only be sent from Kaifeng Prefecture. Zhang Fei cannot be allowed to go there alone to build the public security, procuratorial and judicial system. Zhang Fei is only the president of the court. The essence of the public security, procuratorial and judicial system lies in the checks and balances between them and the lack of control over each other. If the president of the court is responsible for building them, then the president of the court is the boss of the public security, procuratorial and judicial system, which will be meaningless. All relevant departments of the public security, procuratorial and judicial system must send people there.

The procuratorate has also decided to send Su Che over.

When Xu Zun said that the court planned to appoint Su Che to Hezhong Prefecture as chief prosecutor, the other prosecutors present all breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Che, on the other hand, remained calm and said, "I obey your orders."

Xu Zun first glanced at the others, then asked, "Are you willing to go?"

Su Che said: "I am an official appointed by the court. Since the court has given me a task, I will do my best. How can I be picky?"

Xu Zun was stunned and kindly reminded: "But the situation in Hezhong Prefecture is more complicated. It is not easy to be a prosecutor there."

Su Che said: "If law enforcers are afraid of law breakers, how can we protect the country and the people?"

Although his personality is calmer than Su Shi's, he is actually much more radical than Su Shi in politics. He opposed Wang Anshi much more fiercely than Su Shi, but he is a meticulous person and will not let others easily catch him. Su Shi, on the other hand, is a bit careless, nervous, and likes to be competitive, and he always causes trouble that he shouldn't.

This is the most troublesome thing.

Xu Zun smiled and nodded, "Okay, since you have no objection, then it's settled. However, when to go there still needs to wait for the order of the court. You should finish the affairs at hand first."

"As you command."

Imperial College.

"Ah? Let's go to Hezhong Prefecture with the teacher?"

Shangguan Jun and others opened their eyes wide and looked at Sima Guang in shock.

The look of surprise is evident on the paper.

They are different from Cao Ping and other old-timers. As the saying goes, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. They all think this is a rare opportunity.

Even though they haven't participated in the scientific expedition, they can participate in this kind of mission, which will make others envious.

Sima Guang nodded and said, "Are you willing?"

Cai Bian nodded at first, but then asked, "But we still have to take part in the scientific examination this year?"

Sima Guang said: "This is your imperial examination. If you perform well in your local area, the government will grant you the title of Jinshi."

Cai Jing said cautiously: "But we can only do our best to assist the teacher. The success or failure does not depend on us."

Sima Guang glanced at Cai Jing and smiled slightly, "Your performance will be determined by your teacher."

Cai Jing was shocked and thought, this means that whether we can get the place of Jinshi depends entirely on the teacher. It seems that the emperor and Sima Xueshi both value the teacher very much, and the teacher's career will surely be successful.

I have already made up my mind.

Shangguan Jun said, "That's not necessary. Who would recognize a Jinshi degree obtained in this way? We are willing to go with our teacher. We only hope that the court will reserve our place in the imperial examination so that we can take the exam again when we return."

Ye Zuqia said: "Brother Shangguan is right. If I can't beat others in the examination, no one will believe in the title of Jinshi."

Although Fu Bi only proposed Shangguan Jun and Cai Bian, Zhang Fei still added Cai Jing and Ye Zuqia.

Sima Guang smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will convey your ideas to the emperor, I think there will be no problem."

After instructing them, Sima Guang went to the back hall, but saw Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo sitting inside.

Wen Yanbo stroked his beard and said, "I heard that the procuratorate sent Su Che, and the police sent Cao Dongdong. The oldest among them is Su Che, who is thirty years old. This seems to have never happened before."

Whether it was a coincidence or intentional, they suddenly discovered that the people sent by the court this time were all young people. The youngest, Ma Xiaoyi, was only eighteen years old, and the oldest, Su Zhe, was only thirty years old.

This was a very outrageous thing in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty. In fact, the Northern Song Dynasty trusted young people very much, but it would not have such a young lineup. It would often send an older person to support the team.

Sima Guang smiled bitterly and said, "This is exactly what I am most worried about."

Fu Bi waved his hand and said, "That's exactly why we are looking forward to it. In the past, all the officials who were able to hold important positions in Hezhong Prefecture were capable officials. Although some of them had outstanding political achievements, they were only superficial and never managed to sort out the mess in Hezhong Prefecture. Perhaps sending them there can achieve remarkable results."

Sima Guang smiled and nodded, "I hope so."

But if he were asked to arrange it, he would definitely not choose this lineup. This lineup is completely designed to cooperate with Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei cannot control the older players, and now Zhang Fei must be the absolute core. Therefore, when Zhang Fei proposed this lineup, he did not say much.

Bian Jing Law Firm.

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations to Saburo on his promotion to the chief of the Hezhong Court."

"This is also a great encouragement for us tea drinkers and Erbi."

Li Guozhong, Fei Ming and other tea and snack people came to the office and took the initiative to congratulate Zhang Fei.

"Thank you very much! Thank you very much!"

Zhang Fei returned the greeting with a bow, and suddenly changed the subject: "But you are the first group to come to congratulate me. After all, everyone else thinks this is not a good job."

Fan Li glanced at them and thought, this is exactly why they came to congratulate me!

Without Zhang Fei, Li Guozhong and the others are of course very happy!

In Fan Li's opinion, this is just a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, with ulterior motives.

Li Guozhong smiled awkwardly and said, "No matter how difficult it is, it is not as difficult as when Sanlang first came to Bianjing. At that time, Sanlang was able to win the favor of the government with his skills, and he was not as good as the official career. What is this little difficulty?"

"No way! No way! Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Li Xing."

Zhang Fei extended his hand again and said, "Please sit down, everyone."

After they sat down, Zhang Fei asked again: "Do you have any plans to open a branch in Hezhong Prefecture?"

Li Guozhong's expression changed slightly, and he glanced at Fei Ming, who understood and said, "The relationship in Hezhong Prefecture is very complicated. I'm afraid there is no place for us to stand!"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It would be different if I went there. I come from the Erbi family, so I naturally highly respect litigation."

The tea drinkers looked at each other and said nothing.

Zhang Fei continued, "Recently, I have also learned about some of the situations in Hezhong Prefecture. I think there is a lot of room for our Erbi to develop there. Although the business there is not as prosperous as that in Kaifeng Prefecture, the business disputes there are far more serious than those in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the amounts involved are also huge. If the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs can gain a foothold there, they will surely make a lot of money by suing there. Even if we fail, we will not lose too much, and we can just come back."

Li Guozhong asked, "Will your store send someone there?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Zhengwen will open a branch there, but since I am the president of the court, they have to avoid suspicion. Therefore, when our Erbi goes there, we will build a legal aid department there to mainly fight lawsuits for free. Our main focus is on tax calculation and trading."

Li Guozhong smiled and nodded: "We will seriously consider Sanlang's suggestions."

In fact, they came to congratulate just for this matter. They were also aware of the situation in Hezhong Prefecture. It was very complicated. But if the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs could gain a foothold, almost all salt merchants and salt households would need legal services. The profits would be unimaginable, certainly much more than in the capital.

But they first need to know whether Zhang Fei still supports Erbi and Chashiren. If you are Erbi, of course you will support them, but now you are the president of the court, will you still support them?

Zhang Fei's statement also made them feel relieved. They were not too afraid of the complicated network of relationships over there. They were just providing services to those people. If you want to find trouble, you should find Zhang Fei. If Zhang Fei can't stand it, they will just come back.
