If Fu Bi and Han Qi come forward, with their prestige and status, it will indeed be enough to calm the quarrel and get everything back on track.
Wen Yanbo could only run to Fu Bi again and inform Fu Bi of Sima Guang's remarks.
Fu Bi thought about it and suddenly felt that it was indeed unfair to leave it to Han Qi. Moreover, Han Qi was worried that if he came to the trial, if his verdict was overturned, it would damage Fu Bi's prestige.
This is still a little touching in my heart.
At this time, Wen Yanbo was advising him again, "If you don't come out, those people are using you as an excuse to impeach Wang Anshi, saying that the previous judgment applied to the Ordinance Department of the Second Government, and your status and prestige are high."
Passed by me and Sima Guang.
It’s not easy for us to oppose you!
This is also true and false.
really!
Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang were caught in the middle and felt very uncomfortable.
After repeated persuasion, Fu Bi finally agreed to review the case with Han Qi.
After this incident, he gradually understood Han Qi. Originally, he planned to use the most fair method to solve this problem, but the result was twists and turns, and it made him feel frustrated. He really didn't plan to care about it anymore.
Noise as much as you want.
But over the years, Han Qi has dealt with these problems with a combination of firmness and softness, kindness and power. He is indeed stronger than him.
After getting Fu Bi's nod, Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang breathed a sigh of relief!
The two began to build momentum in the court, and they united with a group of officials to report to the emperor, expressing their desire to try again, and at the same time suggested that the rich man be invited to serve as the chief judge.
Zhao Xu has long said that if you think you have violated the laws of your ancestors, you can resort to justice.
Of course he would not refuse, so he sent someone to ask Fu Bi if he was willing to serve as the chief judge again.
Fu Bi said that he was not able to do what he wanted, and the last trial was a complete mess. He hoped to invite Han Qi to join the trial.
This caught Zhao Xu off guard!
This Han Qi's status is not ordinary, and when he came to the throne, Han Qi helped a lot, and he respects Han Qi very much.
Who wouldn’t be afraid of Han Qi and Fu Bi?
So Zhao Xu immediately summoned Han Qi to the palace alone.
"I want to follow the example of your father-in-law, reform the law, promote benefits and eliminate disadvantages, but unexpectedly all the courtiers are opposed to it. I really don't know what to do!"
Zhao Xu sighed when he saw Han Qi, more like a junior who was bullied outside and came home to complain to his elders.
Han Qi was very shrewd. When he heard that Zhao Xu was testing him, he immediately said: "I think your majesty handled it very properly."
Zhao Xu perked up and said, "Does Mr. Xin really think so?"
Han Qi nodded and said: "Your Majesty is so open-minded, humbly accepts advice, and is willing to go to court when encountering problems. What else do they have to complain about? In my opinion, they are all messing around and making trouble unreasonably."
Zhao Xu was even more overjoyed, "My husband also supports my reform?"
Han Qi replied: "If the new law is beneficial to the world, then of course I will support it."
This answer is watertight. It’s a mule or a horse. You have to take it out and play with it before I can give you the answer.
That's like saying it but not saying it.
Then Han Qi's attitude is very obvious. This matter is the same. I support taking it to court because it is the most fair and just approach.
...As for the new law, that is another matter. We will wait until the new law comes out.
Zhao Xu smiled awkwardly and nodded. It can be seen that Han Qi still had great reservations about launching Wang Anshi's reform. He asked again: "The rich man wants to invite the prime minister to review this case. I wonder what the prime minister's opinion is?"
Han Qi cupped his hands and said: "If your Majesty needs it, I am willing to help you."
After all, Zhao Xu was still a bit young, so he was no match for Han Qi. He handed over his hands and returned the greeting: "Then I will have Mr. Lao."
As the footsteps of summer are getting closer and closer, the temperature is gradually getting hotter.
After dinner, Gao Wenyin and Xiao Tao were busy cleaning up the aftermath, while Zhang Fei, Feng Nanxi, Niu Beiqing, and Li Si sat in the courtyard to relax and chat.
There really is no master-servant atmosphere in the Zhang family.
Feng Nancy and the others also quickly integrated into it because they were relaxed and comfortable.
"Lao Qi, I always hear that corrupt officials exploit people. How do they usually exploit them?"
Zhang Fei asked Nancy Feng.
Before Feng Nanxi could answer, Niu Beiqing's thunderous voice immediately rang out, "There are so many methods. I couldn't finish them even if I talked about them all day."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Don't stop him." Then he said to Niu Beiqing: "Then you can talk all day long. I still don't believe you have such eloquence."
Niu Beiqing shook his head and said: "If you don't believe it, my benefactor, I can really talk about it all day long. Just say that three years ago, Dalang and I went back to Jiangning Mansion to do business. When passing through the Huai River, we crossed three bridges in three days.
After paying three tolls, we were all still wondering why there were so many rivers here.
When we arrived at Jiangning Mansion, we found out that the three bridges were all built on the same river and were specifically used to bully our foreign businessmen."
Zhang Fei said angrily: "If you don't ask yourself about the road conditions, who can blame you?"
Niu Beiqing immediately said: "My benefactor doesn't know. We can only follow the business routes prescribed by the court. Otherwise, we will be punished. Businessmen who know this will give money to those merchants when they cross the first bridge."
Officials, they will show you another way, otherwise, they will let you cross three rivers, not only delaying your time, but also paying a lot of money."
"This is quite fun." Zhang Fei nodded slightly and said: "Let's not talk about commercial taxes for now. Let's talk about land taxes."
"Tiantian tax!"
Niu Beiqing's tongue suddenly became knotted and he glanced at Feng Nancy.
Zhang Fei saw that they looked a little uncomfortable and asked, "What's going on?"
Niu Beiqing said hey: "Lao Qi, you are familiar with this, please tell me!"
Feng Nanxi glared at him, then looked at Zhang Fei. After hesitating for a while, she said: "My benefactor didn't know something. In terms of land tax, Dalang's family has taken some advantage."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Fei immediately became energetic: "Tell me and listen."
Feng Nanxi said: "Didn't Dalang's family earn some money from doing business before? They also bought some land. However, due to the disorder of our dynasty's cadastral, most of the land was not included in Dalang's family, so the land tax on these lands was
It is borne by the farmers who sold their land. Two of the farmers were hired by Da Lang to help cultivate the land, so Da Lang would still help pay their field taxes. However, most of the farmers sold their land and ran away.
The big man didn’t pay these taxes.”
... Niu Beiqing immediately said: "Actually, Da Lang is quite conscientious. Many landowners pay no tax for the land they buy. I know a small landowner whose family has thousands of acres of land, but does his benefactor know?
How much tax does he pay?"
Zhang Fei asked: "How much?"
"It's just the tax on four acres of land." Niu Beiqing raised four fingers.
"Four acres?"
Zhang Fei exclaimed.
This gap is too exaggerated.
Nancy Feng nodded and said, "Some landowners don't even pay land tax on one acre."
Zhang Fei asked: "Won't the court investigate?"
Feng Nanxi said: "I check it occasionally, but it is just to check the officials. Some officials will check the cadastre when they take office. However, since the terms of office of officials are three years, and a new official comes in every three years, maybe we will not check it."
No wonder Wang Anshi wants to promulgate the Fangtian Average Tax Law. In this situation, without a nationwide census, it will be almost useless. Zhang Fei nodded slightly and asked: "This is a very common phenomenon."
Li Si suddenly interrupted: "That's probably very common."
Zhang Fei turned his head and looked at Li Si, "What should I say?"
Li Sidao: "I know everything."
"That's right!" Zhang Fei nodded.
Niu Beiqing said: "It can't be said that it is common. If a family has hundreds of acres of land, they have hidden a lot of land tax. No matter how honest you are, you should wait until the court comes to check before paying."
Zhang Fei nodded thoughtfully.
Feng Nanxi asked: "Why did my benefactor suddenly ask about this?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I want to stop this situation."
Feng Nanxi wondered: "My benefactor, you are not an official, how can you stop this situation."
Zhang Fei said: "Just because of my name as Zhang San."
At this moment, a sudden knock on the door interrupted their conversation.
"I'll open the door."
Li Si quickly got up and ran over.
Nancy Feng was quite curious and asked: "Who could it be this night?"
Niu Beiqing asked: "Is Mrs. Xu here?"
Zhang Fei said angrily: "Have you ever seen her walking through the main entrance?"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Sidao: "Third brother, this is Collector Lu."
Seeing Lu Huiqing walking in, Zhang Fei couldn't help but frown.
Feng Nanxi, Niu Beiqing and the others left wisely, leaving only Lu Huiqing and Zhang Fei in the courtyard.
"The matter has come to an end." Lu Huiqing said solemnly.
Zhang Fei was surprised and said: "So fast? I heard from my benefactor, but we still have to quarrel for some time."
Lu Huiqing frowned and said: "They invited Mr. Han to come forward and interrogate this case with the rich man."
"Xianggong Han?"
Zhang Fei was slightly startled.
When they discussed it beforehand, they didn't take Han Qi into consideration.
Lu Huiqing nodded: "This is indeed unexpected. No one thought that they would ask Mr. Han to take action, because Mr. Han had always been tight-lipped about the matter beforehand, and I have never heard what he said about it."
Zhang Fei glanced at Lu Huiqing and saw that he was worried, so he couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Colleague Lu doesn't seem to have confidence in me!"
Lu Huiqing sighed and said: "Anyone facing these two will not have confidence."
Fu Bi and Han Qi were no different from the Taishan Beidou of the Song Dynasty. Even Wang Anshi felt Alexander after hearing about this, so he asked Lu Huiqing to inform Zhang Fei quickly.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It depends on what happened. If the two of them carry swords and go into battle to kill the enemy, I'm afraid not even the small soldiers will be afraid of them."
Lu Huiqing said: "This cannot be confused with a lawsuit!"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Fei said: "Lv Xiaokan, litigating a lawsuit is a very professional matter, so it's the same for all of them."
Lu Huiqing was stunned immediately.
For the first time, someone ignored Han Qi and Fu Bi.
After a while, Lu Huiqing asked: "Are you really confident that you can win?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "There is no way I will lose."
