Returning to Xu Mansion, Zhang Fei informed Xu Zun and his daughter of his plan.
"well...."
Xu Zun sighed and said with a sad look on his face: "I can't help you much with this matter!"
He is really not very good at playing this kind of political conspiracy, and he actually doesn't want Zhang Fei to do this.
Xu Zhiqian knew what Xu Zun was worried about, so she took the initiative to say to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, this is not an incident that has already happened, but was planned by you. There must be loopholes in this. The other party's hands and eyes are very good, so it is very possible."
It would be dangerous if they find out the flaws."
Xu Zun nodded calmly.
It is not illegal to fail to win the lawsuit. Xu Zun can save Zhang Fei's life, but with this method, once the other party catches him, Xu Zun cannot save it.
Zhang Fei explained: "It wasn't me who planned it, and I don't have the ability. It was Master Wang who planned it. I was only responsible for providing ideas, and the incident must have happened. There is no need to make it up at all, because nowadays tax evasion
Tax evasion can be seen everywhere, but no one investigates it. As long as it goes to court, that's what I'm good at."
Xu Zundao: "But what you get is pure revenge. I still hope that you can use the law to seek justice. Once you use conspiracy and tricks, the other party will not fight you in court."
He also agreed with the means. For example, when Zhang Fei took revenge on Wang Wenshan, he also supported it because Zhang Fei achieved his goals through constant appeals.
Zhang Fei said confidently: "I am doing this for justice."
"Yeah?"
Xu Zun looked at him doubtfully.
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "This case must not end with a slap in the face, because in this case, it will be difficult for me to go to court to argue, and they will use a slap in the face to deal with me. Then they will all think, fight
So what if I give you a slap in the face? Is it possible that the imperial court will punish officials just for an ear pen?"
Xu Zhiqian nodded slightly and glanced at Xu Zun secretly.
Zhang Fei added: "And from this point of view, the administration is completely above the judiciary, and the county magistrates and prefects are seeking political achievements. In other words, their political careers will be above the judiciary, and the judiciary cannot do anything at all."
Play a supervisory role.
If the judiciary and the administration can check and balance each other, in many matters, the prefects and counties will not be able to act arbitrarily for the sake of political performance. I have provoked a struggle between the judiciary and the administration, but this is a struggle that is urgently needed by the judiciary. If in the end
What ends this struggle is a fair trial, which I believe will greatly help the judiciary."
Xu Zhiqian whispered: "Dad, my daughter thinks what Zhang San said is quite reasonable. If the judiciary wants to check and balance the administration, there will inevitably be a battle."
Xu Zun glanced at Xu Zhiqian and thought for a while. Finally, he was moved by Zhang Fei's words and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"
Zhang Fei said: "I hope my benefactor can provide me with some information about their tax evasion."
"What do I think it is?"
Xu Zunfu smiled and looked at Xu Zhiqian, "Qian'er can help you solve this problem. Their methods are not very clever."
Xu Zhiqian winked at Zhang Fei proudly.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Please help me prepare. I still have some aftermath matters to deal with."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Fei said: "Pay the fine given by the government."
...
Over there, Wang Anshi also asked his confidant General Lu Huiqing to discuss the matter.
After hearing this, Lu Huiqing couldn't help but be deeply shocked: "This kid is really cruel. The sledgehammer didn't hit him, but he came up with such a vicious revenge plan."
Wang Anshi shook his head: "This plan is just to persuade me to support him, and his ultimate goal is to rely on litigation to get revenge on Wang Hong."
Lu Huiqing nodded slightly.
Wang Anshi asked: "What do you think?"
Lu Huiqing thought for a while and said: "This will indeed put Sima Junshi in a dilemma, but if it succeeds in the end, it will also cause the Sili Yuan to intervene in finance. By then, Sima Junshi will control the judiciary and may also have some influence on the finance.
We pose a threat."
They are taking the administrative route, and the final result of this lawsuit may be judicial seizure of administrative power.
Wang Anshi pondered for a while, "You don't agree with this?"
Lu Huiqing thought carefully for a long time. She was really unsure about this. The pros and cons were too similar. She shook her head and said: "That's not true. Although there are disadvantages in the distance, the benefits are close at hand. I don't know who my mentor is."
How did you plan it?"
Wang Anshi said: "Sima Junshi's reform of the judiciary must be to target my new law. Even if we don't do this, he will still separate politics and law. At that time, he can also use the judiciary to restrict my new law. At that time,
The local landowners and squires will also support him. In this case, why not give him a stumbling block first, at least to make those squires and landowners feel resentful of Sima Guang's judicial reform."
Lu Huiqing nodded: "My mentor has a more long-term consideration."
Wang Anshi said: "I'll leave this matter to you."
"yes."
Lu Huiqing suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way! Master, Deng Wan came to see me recently and offered me a plan."
Wang Anshi asked: "What strategy?"
Lu Huiqing said: "He proposed to expand the deed tax on residential land to all contracts. Anyone who wants to get protection from the court must purchase the deed from the Municipal Taxation Department, stamp it with the official seal of the Municipal Taxation Department, and pay the deed tax."
Wang Anshi nodded slightly: "As for the deed tax, I thought about it last time when I was discussing the mortgage with Zhang San. This is indeed feasible, but you have to be cautious. You first make the regulations. After this matter is finished, we will discuss it carefully.
one time."
...
Today, Bianjing Law Firm was once again under scrutiny.
Everyone poked their heads inside and saw some guards guarding the door. At the same time, there were many auditors counting copper coins. Fan Li nodded and bowed beside him.
It was so glorious when the official gave the plaque, but now it is so embarrassing.
Because the government is here today to collect fines.
That's it?
Is this the royal plaque?
I thought it was so powerful.
result.......
This time Zhang Fei really embarrassed Shenzong.
In a private room.
"Do you deserve such a big battle?"
Zhang Fei looked at Sima Guang with a depressed expression.
Sima Guang smiled bitterly and said: "You think I do, but the Third Division has said that they will send people to audit. Many officials in the court are keeping an eye on this matter, so no matter when they come, they will attract attention."
Zhang Fei smiled coldly.
Sima Guang saw something interesting, "Are you still not convinced?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's not that they are dissatisfied, but that they cannot accept it. I want them to understand that the board won't work for me."
Sima Guang sighed, "It's okay if you don't accept this matter. You can't continue to make trouble, otherwise, no one can protect you."
Zhang Fei smiled faintly, his eyes seeming to dodge a little.
Sima Guang felt something was wrong and asked directly: "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Fei struggled for a while, and then informed Sima Guang of his plan.
But he did not mention Wang Anshi.
"Are you crazy?"
After hearing this, Sima Guang became furious. He glanced at the door nervously, then quickly walked to the door, opened the door, and ordered to his guards: "No one is allowed to come in."
"As commanded."
After closing the door, Sima Guang came to Zhang Fei and asked: "Are you taking revenge on Wang Hong, or are you taking revenge on me, Sima Guang?"
Zhang Fei said: "Master Sima, please calm down and listen to my explanation...!"
But before he could finish speaking, Sima Guang said: "This must not be done."
Zhang Fei glanced at him awkwardly, "I...I have decided, I will not give in."
"I do not know either......!"
Sima wanted to say that he would not let Zhang Fei succeed, but mid-sentence, he suddenly thought of something, "Why do you want to sow discord between the Si Li Yuan and the county government?"
Zhang Fei remained silent.
Sima Guang said again: "How could the Siliyuan believe you? Wang Jiefu. This was Wang Jiefu's idea."
Thinking of Wang Anshi, he became even more furious. This stumbling block was really insidious.
This will make it very difficult for him.
Zhang Fei glanced at Sima Guang and thought to himself, it's not me who said it, it was you who said it yourself.
Now that Wang Anshi is involved, the nature is completely different. Zhang Fei is just a chess piece. Sima Guang sat down and said in a persuasive tone: "This is not worth it."
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and asked: "Why is Grand Scholar Sima so excited?"
Sima Guang frowned, "What do you think?"
Zhang Fei said: "Grandmaster Sima believes that doing this will cause more obstacles to judicial reform, and the reason is that it will offend many people."
Sima Guang said: "So you know it!"
Zhang Fei said: "But these people are all illegal people."
Sima Guang's expression changed and he sighed: "Things are not as simple as you think."
Zhang Fei said: "I know what Grand Master Sima is worried about. The reason why Grand Master Sima's judicial reform has been approved by officials and supported by ministers so quickly is that it can check and balance the establishment of the Ordinance Department of the second government. But if the entire judicial system is
A group of illegal people are kidnapping, so what’s the point of judicial reform? Is it just a check and balance on the new law?”
Sima Guang frowned and said nothing.
Zhang Fei said: "I decided to do this just because I considered the concerns of Grand Scholar Sima. On the one hand, Grand Scholar Sima has to rely on them, but on the other hand, what they do conflicts with the judiciary. This requires a villain.
And Academician Wang is the best villain. If it succeeds, then Academician Sima will be able to enjoy the benefits. It is because they have not fought against Academician Wang that they have to pay the taxes they should pay.
If Grand Scholar Sima does not force them to pay taxes in the future, they will definitely be impeached, and then everything will be logical. In addition, Grand Scholar Sima can also use this to supervise the financial power, which is the core power of Grand Scholar Wang’s new law."
Sima Guang was silent for a long time and asked: "If it is so beneficial to me, why does Wang Jiefu do this?"
Zhang Fei said: "Because the purpose of Academician Wang is to make those people pay taxes and fill the national treasury."
Sima Guang snorted: "Do you think that Wang Jiefu is serving the country and the people, while I, Sima Guang, am just a chicken with a small belly?"
Zhang Fei said: "I don't think Grand Scholar Sima will refuse."
"You guys are really talkative!" Sima Guang chuckled.
Zhang Fei chuckled and deceived seriously again, no, he explained: "When the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow. Of course, it will not work if the country blindly accumulates wealth, but blindly hiding wealth among the people will not work, because the country
After all, money is needed to run it.”
Having said this, he secretly glanced at Sima Guang and saw that his face was expressionless and silent, so he could only continue speaking.
"The world is bustling for profit. This is human nature. Of course the court wants to collect more taxes, and the people naturally want to pay less taxes. This is understandable, but if there is an imbalance on either side, it will cause many problems.
, but it is impossible for them to realize themselves.
And this is the meaning of the law. The law can check and balance the two, so that both have gains and losses, so as to achieve a relatively balanced result, so as to truly store wealth for the people. I have always firmly believed that wise people will not pass
The law makes it difficult to use one's own wisdom to benefit the people of the world."
