After having enough wine and food, Gao Wenyin took Xiao Tao and the others to start cleaning, while Zhang Fei and the Xu family continued to discuss Su Shi's lawsuit in the corridor.
It has an urban version of men farming and women weaving.
Regardless of whether their relationship as husband and wife is true or not, the feeling is really different with or without Gao Wenyin.
...
They had already found the crime before, that is, "making a coat and writing a coat of words", so the next step was to find evidence around this crime.
Different from the previous case of the ancestral law, that lawsuit was about the right of interpretation, but this time it was not about explaining anything, but filling in the regulations.
Although it sounds like the ancestor's method is obviously more difficult, if you are not careful, you may end up with a different body and head.
But in fact, both have their own difficulties. Although the ancestral method is very sensitive and sounds scary, it has sufficient arguments to prove it. The key point is that those ministers use it randomly. There is no rules and regulations. How can a method without rules be a good method?
?
As for copyright, there is currently no case that can support Zhang Fei. The only thing that can be related to copyright is the ruler's control of people's thoughts.
The crime of "making a coat and writing a coat of words" also stems from thought control.
Although the two are somewhat similar on the surface, tracing back to their roots, there are actually fundamental contradictions.
Because copyright law emphasizes personal property rights, this is exactly what Zaoyoshuyanyan wants to control.
Zhang Fei wants to use this method to defend his personal copyright.
As a result, when they discuss, they often reach a dead end and cannot get out.
But litigation is never about the truth, but about loopholes. It doesn't matter if it's a dead end. If you have capital, just borrow a ladder and climb over. If you don't have capital, just look around to see if there is any hole you can drill into.
Not to mention that the Chinese language is vast and profound, and it looks like a ridge from a horizontal perspective or a peak from the side. It depends on how you cut into it and whether you can find a balance point to persuade the court to legislate for this.
For three consecutive days, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian spent all their time looking for arguments, and Xu Zun rushed home to help immediately after being released from office.
Xu Zun is the judge, and the questions he raises are crucial to Zhang Fei. In the past few lawsuits, Zhang Fei was able to count all the omissions, among which Xu Zun helped a lot.
at dusk.
"ah!"
Zhang Fei stretched his waist and said, "I think it's almost done."
Xu Zhiqian said: "I think there is still a lot to be desired, and many issues have not been explained thoroughly."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Because of the lack of cases, some issues are difficult to explain thoroughly. However, the law is born out of morality. These can be compensated with morality. Pirate printing is wrong from a moral perspective. The key is how to legislate and regulate
.”
Xu Zun nodded: "That's true. Your purpose is not to claim compensation, but to legislate."
Zhang Fei said to Xu Zhiqian again: "Ms. Xu, you should go to court with me this time."
Xu Zhiqian looked happy and said immediately: "I'm afraid this won't work. Kaifeng Mansion will definitely not let it go."
Zhang Fei said: "As far as rules and regulations are concerned, the Court of Justice represents the highest court of our court. The Court of Justice has asked you to come to court to assist, so why shouldn't the Kaifeng Mansion?"
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a knock on the door.
"Third brother, Mr. Fan is here."
"What is he here for?"
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment.
Xu Zhiqian said hurriedly: "Go out quickly and take a look. Maybe something happened over there at the bookstore."
"Oh! Excuse me then!"
"go quickly!"
Xu Zun also nodded.
As soon as Zhang Fei walked to the door, he turned around and said to Xu Zhiqian seriously: "This is a law firm, not a bookstore."
After saying that, he went out.
...
"Saburo!"
When Fan Li saw Zhang Fei, he stood up and walked over. He pulled Zhang Fei aside and said in a low voice: "People from the Commercial and Taxation Institute have just arrived. I hope our office can also help them calculate taxes."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"
Fan Li hurriedly explained: "I think they are taking the initiative to show their kindness to us, hoping to turn their hostility into friendship."
Zhang Fei understood immediately and hummed: "If he says to fight, he will fight, if he says yes, it will be fine. Who do they think they are?"
"...?"
Fan Li wanted to ask Zhang Fei, who do you think you are?
Zhang Fei said again: "You want to make excuses to reject them."
Fan Li said in confusion: "Why? We can't fight them, so why bother irritating them? There are three divisions behind Dushang Taxation Institute, we can't afford to offend them!"
Zhang Fei said with disdain: "I can offend the imperial court, but how can I not offend them? They are so arrogant and domineering in front of me. I have made up my mind on this tax calculation, even if the Buddha comes, I can't stop you."
Seeing that he was full of confidence, Fan Li couldn't help but look a little hesitant.
yes!
He also complained to the court, why should he be afraid of the Third Division?
Zhang Fei suddenly thought of something, "By the way, have you told us about our lawsuit with Mr. Su?"
Fan Li shook his head and said: "No! You said it was confidential, how could I dare to tell you?"
Zhang Fei said: "Then you can spread the word about this by rejecting the Commercial and Taxation Institute."
Fan Li was a little confused when he heard this, "I know how to spread the word, but I don't know how to tell it to the Commercial and Taxation Institute."
Zhang Fei clicked his tongue: "You don't know how to do this? Why should we refuse? We have to give a reason. The reason is that we have a lawsuit in hand and can afford to fight it for three years. We are not afraid of them encircling and suppressing them. Then if Li Guozhong is really capable , also learn from me to litigate, and also learn from me to sue the court! We make money based on our ability, not on other people's pity."
Fan Li nodded and said: "I understand! I understand!"
...
Shen Mansion.
"That's unreasonable! This guy really refuses to eat and drink as a penalty."
Hearing that his proactive overture was declined by Fan Li, Shen Huaixiao couldn't help but become angry.
How shameless!
Tang Ji snorted: "I'm just saying that that kid is arrogant and ignorant, so we shouldn't show kindness to him. If this happens, he will definitely think that we are afraid of him, and then he will get worse."
Shen Huaixiao sighed: "I have also explained to you that Wang Jiefu is on top and Xu Zhongtu is protecting him. There is not much we can do against him. One more thing is worse than one less thing."
Tang Jidao: "Although we don't have many ways to deal with him for the time being, we can completely prevent businessmen from interacting with him. If anyone dares to interact with him, we will never make it easy for him, including filing a lawsuit against him.
As for the ordinary people, let them go, I don't believe they can maintain that kind of law firm just by fighting these lawsuits."
Shen Huaixiao nodded, "You have to give him some clues. Then you can ask someone to talk to the Ma family, Chen family, and Fan family. At present, these three families are mainly cooperating with Zhang San."
"I'll send someone there later."
Tang Ji nodded and said: "By the way, didn't Zhang San include the Fan family's residence into his shop this time? There are many issues involved, such as deed tax and whether there is any intrusion on the street. We can also send People go check it out and if there are any problems, they can be ordered to close the store temporarily."
Shen Huaixiao nodded and said with a smile: "This is a good idea. Although we can't punish Zhang San, as long as he is doing business, he can't escape from our hands."
After saying that, he paused for a moment and said, "In that case, why not check with Fan Li to see if he has done anything illegal before."
Tang Ji said: "Since we need to check, why not check it for everyone."
You, Zhang Fei, have iron teeth and bronze teeth, a diamond-protected body, and no oil or salt can enter, but that does not mean that everyone around you is like this.
While they were chatting, Du Xiu, the salt and iron judge, suddenly came.
"Have you heard that Zhang San is going to file a lawsuit again?"
"What lawsuit is it?" Shen Huaixiao asked.
Du Xiu said: "It is said that Su Zizhan asked him to sue a bookseller for misappropriating his poems and selling them."
"Can I sue this too?"
Tang Ji wondered.
boom!
Shen Huaixiao suddenly slammed the table, "It's really too much!"
Tang Ji and Du Xiu were both stunned.
Du Xiu asked: "Brother Shen, is that the bookseller not you?"
Shen Huai said filially: "When did I open a bookstore?"
"Then why are you angry?"
"I'm angry because that kid has clearly offended our three companies, but he still has the mood to help others litigate. It shows that he doesn't take us seriously at all."
"...?"
...
Zhang family.
"Madam, what are you doing?"
When Zhang Fei came out of the room, he suddenly found Gao Wenyin standing in front of the backyard wall, head lowered, as if looking for something, so he walked over.
"Husband...Good morning, husband!"
Gao Wenyin turned around and said: "I just...just..."
Zhang Fei smiled and asked: "Just what?"
Gao Wenyin said: "I just think it's a bit empty here. Would it be better if I planted some flowers and plants?"
It seems that she did listen to what I said. Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Actually, there were some potted plants here originally, but later I asked Li Si to move them to the woodshed."
"Why?"
Gao Wenyin couldn't help but ask: "Don't you like flowers and plants, husband?"
"no!"
Zhang Fei shook his head, "Just because Li Si and I don't know how to do this, it will become mud here. If Madam knows how to do it, she can move it back."
Gao Wenyin nodded and said: "I can."
"That's okay...!"
"My benefactor! My benefactor!"
Niu Beiqing's thunderous voice came.
Zhang Fei couldn't help but frown.
In a moment, Niu Beiqing was seen striding over, and suddenly Gao Wenyin was also there, "Sister-in-law is here too."
His voice immediately dropped an octave.
Gao Wenyin said: "Daniu, this is not a village, please keep your voice down."
While speaking, he glanced at Zhang Fei for a moment.
"Why!"
Niu Beiqing nodded.
Zhang Fei suddenly asked: "Are you okay?"
"I just came to see my benefactor because I had nothing to do." Niu Beiqing said aggrievedly.
Zhang Fei wondered: "It's okay, why are you looking for me?"
Niu Beiqing immediately said: "The seventh one is in charge of the accounting room, and the fifth one is in charge of the carriages, so what do I do? I'm most afraid of being idle. My dear, please find something for me to do."
Are people who have never experienced 996 so innocent? Zhang Fei said with a smile: "You are so majestic and powerful, of course you are looking after homes and nursing homes! This is the most important thing, because I was raped twice in my own home. I hope there won’t be a third attack.”
Niu Beiqing felt very relieved after hearing this. He patted his chest and said, "My dear, please don't worry. As long as I'm here, it will never happen three times."
"very good!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "That's right! You first help Madam move the flower pots from the woodshed here. Madam wants to plant some flowers and plants here."
"OK!"
When Niu Beiqing heard that it was his sister-in-law's order, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will move here right now."
Gao Wenyin couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, it's okay if you move in slowly."
After Niu Beiqing left, Zhang Fei smiled and said: "This black guy looks scary, but he is actually quite cute."
Gao Wenyin smiled and nodded: "Daniu is a little impulsive, but he still has a very good heart. Otherwise, I...!"
Zhang Fei added: "Otherwise, Shi Dalang wouldn't have become a brother with him?"
Gao Wenyin blushed and nodded slightly.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Madam, don't mind this. Just say what you want to say."
Gao Wenyin nodded politely.
But it's definitely still awkward.
Zhang Fei asked again: "By the way! Madam, what do you usually like to do?"
Gao Wenyin said: "I usually do some embroidery at home."
"embroidery?"
Zhang Fei asked again: "I wonder if Madam can sew clothes?"
Gao Wenyin said: "Yes! Husband, do you want to make new clothes? Actually, you don't have to go outside to do it. I can help you do it."
"Forget about clothes, that would be so tiring." Zhang Fei added, "But I want to make some big shorts and shorts for the summer."
Gao Wenyin said: "Big shorts? Short clothes?"
"You come with me."
He took Gao Wenyin to the front yard, then took a pen and drew a few sketches on paper, "That's it, can you?"
Gao Wenyin looked at it carefully for a while and nodded, "It should be possible, but I don't know what materials my husband wants to use?"
"This madam will take care of it."
"Then...then I'll try."
"good."
"Zhang San!"
I saw Xu Zhiqian coming straight to the house.
"Good morning, Mrs. Xu!"
"Good morning, Mrs. Zhang!"
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said.
Gao Wenyin's face was slightly red and she said, "You guys talk first, I'll go back to the backyard and help Daniel get potted plants."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "Madam, can you still plant pots?"
Gao Wenyin said sarcastically: "I know a little bit."
Zhang Fei teased: "You think everyone is the same as you. This woman can do it, but you can't do it."
Xu Zhiqian said unconvinced: "Don't underestimate me. Those potted plants and embroidery are things I'm tired of playing with. What's so big about them."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Fei expressed doubts.
Xu Zhiqian said arrogantly: "Forget it if you don't believe it."
Gao Wenyin felt a little embarrassed standing here, and hurriedly said: "Husband, Madam Xu, I will excuse you now."
"OK."
After Gao Wenyin left, Xu Zhiqian remembered the purpose of coming here and immediately asked: "By the way! Did you let people spread the news outside?"
Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "What's the situation now?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "It has spread throughout the capital, and now everyone is talking about it, whether it's in restaurants or Goulan tile houses."
Zhang Fei said in surprise: "Did it spread so quickly?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded and said: "Didn't I tell you before? There are always people complaining about this kind of thing, but there is nothing they can do about it, but no one has ever thought of resolving it through litigation. In addition to this matter Mr. Su, who has just returned to Beijing, has caused a lot of discussion."
Zhang Fei hurriedly asked: "Do you all support me?"
Xu Zhiqian smiled and said: "Not many people support you, most of them support Mr. Su, but there are also many people who think that Mr. Su is making a fuss out of a molehill. The most important thing is that he hired you, an Erbi person, to file a lawsuit and seek compensation. This It’s not right, and we are still quarreling over it.”
In fact, this incident also reflects the special characteristics of the literati in the Song Dynasty, because as far as Confucianism is concerned, writing books and speaking out is the pursuit of self-cultivation, not economic interests. If you talk about economic interests in a vulgar way, you will be despised.
This is why in Chinese history, literature has been so prosperous but copyright law has never been enacted. It has something to do with this idea.
However, the commodity economy in the Song Dynasty was very prosperous, and literati were not ashamed to talk about profit. Nine out of ten important meetings of the country were about finance and money.
As a result, many people believe that whether Su Shi pursues reputation or profit, it is the right thing to do.
But there are also many people who think that you can stop booksellers from infringing on your reputation, but if you still make claims, it is a bit excessive, especially if you have hired someone from Erbi.
This goes against the morals of scholars.
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "Controversy is a good thing."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "When do you plan to go to Kaifeng Mansion?"
Zhang Fei said: "Let it ferment for two days before going."
...
noon.
Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing were chatting while walking outside the imperial city gate.
"How are you preparing over there?"
"Teacher, please rest assured that everything has been prepared. We are just waiting for His Majesty's decree." After saying that, Lu Huiqing suddenly asked: "Teacher, have you heard that Zhang Fei has taken on another lawsuit?"
Wang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "It's hard not to hear about it. They have been talking about it all morning today."
Lu Huiqing said: "It's not just them, almost all the literati in Bianjing are discussing this matter."
Wang Anshi saw the worried look on his face and couldn't help but ask: "What do you want to say?"
Lu Huiqing hesitated for a moment and said: "It depends on the situation. Zhang Fei will go to Kaifeng Mansion in the next two days, which will definitely attract the attention of the government and the public. Otherwise, my mentor will go to the officials and wait until the lawsuit is finished." Purpose."
When Wang Anshi heard this, he immediately became angry and said, "What are you talking about? Is it important that a lawsuit among the people can be compared with our reform?"
Lu Huiqing hurriedly explained: "The students are worried that Zhang San will steal the limelight of the new law, which is not good for the new law!"
Reforms in ancient times also had to take into account public opinion.
Wang Anshi hummed: "Can he snatch it away?"
Lu Huiqing said: "It's not about ten thousand, it's about what happens. A few days ago, both the court and the government were still talking about my mentor's reform, but today they are all talking about the lawsuit. Anyway, His Majesty hasn't issued an order yet, so it doesn't matter if it's two days late." .”
Wang Anshi thought it was nothing, but it could be seen that Lu Huiqing was worried, so he nodded and said: "Okay! I'll ask the officials first. Maybe the officials don't plan to issue an order in these two days."
...
Kaifeng Mansion.
"well...."
When Li Kai came to the back hall, he sighed: "It seems that as long as that kid is here, our Kaifeng Mansion will not be able to live in peace!"
It’s only been a few days!
Your boy is coming again.
Aren't you tired?
Mr. Lu raised his head and glanced at him: "This is not a big case, just leave it to the Judicial Court for trial."
At first, he took the case of Li Siyi out of dissatisfaction. He wanted to meet Zhang San for a while, but it would lead to trouble. This guy would never be finished. He had already made a plan before, and Zhang San would come back next time. , just leave it to the people below.
Out of sight is pure.
Li Kaisheng said helplessly: "Prefect Lu, you don't know something. Mr. Han and others have already sent people to reserve seats. How big is the Siliyuan, how can it accommodate them?"
Mr. Lu was stunned and said: "What seat?"
Li Kaidao: "It's the hearing seat!"
"ah?"
Lu Gongzhu was immediately stunned.
Even before the complainants came, the seats for the hearing had already been reserved.
Are you watching a show?
After a while, Lu Gongzhu came back to his senses. When the curse words came to his mouth, he suppressed them back. He thought about it seriously and said: "I have also heard about this matter. If that If Su Zizhan wants to pursue this matter, it's the bookseller's fault anyway. So I think if Zhang San's claim is reasonable, then we will send people to investigate directly. After finding out, we will directly rule him as the winner. There is no need to fight with him. Struggle in the hall."
He was already convinced by his ancestor's method last time.
Don't come.
Kaifeng Mansion cannot afford this kind of limelight.
Li Kai's eyes lit up, "Yes! I can rule him to win without giving him a chance to fight the lawsuit."
He looked away and refused to compete with Zhang Fei.
At this moment, an official announced at the door: "To report to the prefect, someone from the Bianjing Law Firm has handed over a piece of paper."
Li Kaidao: "It's coming! It's coming!"
Lu Gong said: "Send it up."
"As commanded."
The yamen officer immediately handed over the paper.
When Lu Gongzhu saw the charges, he immediately became depressed, "I said Zhang San is really full and has nothing to do. For such a trivial matter, does he have to make such a big fuss?"
Li Kai next to him suddenly panicked.
Can this make a big fuss?
Li Kai hurriedly said: "Prefect Lu, what is the crime that this boy is accused of?"
Lu Gongzhu opened his mouth and handed the certificate to Li Kai, "You'd better read it yourself."
Then he asked the officer: "But Zhang San came to hand over the certificate in person?"
The officer said: "No, it's a man named Qiu Zhengwen from the Bianjing Law Firm."
Now that Zhang Fei is also a partner of the firm, he has to do such small things as handing out petition papers himself.
"You go down!"
"yes."
As soon as the yamen officer came down, he heard Li Kai exclaim: "Make a coat and write a coat of words?"
Then he asked Lu Gongzhu: "Who is he suing?"
Mr. Lu was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand: "Bring it over and show me again."
Li Kai handed over the paper again.
After reading Gong Lu's book, he said, "It's strange! He is still suing Ji Juxian, but this doesn't make sense. He is suing Ji Juxian for making a coat of clothing and writing a book, while Ji Juxian only printed Su Shi's poems. If he is really guilty of making a coat of book,
