The scene of people waiting in front of Zhang's house has happened several times.
Zhang Fei is already used to it.
However, the previous few episodes were really full of positive energy. Everyone cheered for Zhang Fei, and the scene brought tears to the eyes.
This time everyone was even more enthusiastic, shouting along with Zhang Fei.
I just hope he can lose this lawsuit.
What about your sense of justice?
It can only be said that gambling ruins everything.
Money can distort all values.
And just as Zhang Fei was on his way to Kaifeng Mansion, Li Guozhong and others were already waiting at Kaifeng Mansion. They were so well-behaved!
"Li Tongpan!"
"I have seen Li Tongpan."
Seeing Li Kailai, Li Guozhong and others stood up and bowed to salute.
Respectfully.
At this moment, Li Kai suddenly felt that he didn't actually hate these ear pens, he just hated Zhang Fei.
Look at these ear pens, how cute, well-behaved, and inviting to caress.
They are both ear pens, so why are there such big differences?
Li Kai couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said to Li Guozhong with a smile: "Li Xingshou."
"The villain is here."
Li Guozhong cupped his hands again.
Li Kaidao: "Prefect Lu thinks that the new interrogation method is more fair. I wonder if you can adapt to it."
There was no such thing as an ear-to-ear confrontation before. This was brought by Zhang Fei, but it has not yet been determined how the interrogation should be carried out and what the rules are.
Before, all parties had to discuss it first, but those were all unwritten rules.
Li Guozhong and others looked at each other.
For them, of course, they are older and more suitable. Therefore, Zhou Cai, who was holding the identity of the defendant next to him, suddenly stood up and said: "Li Tongxuan, this is unfair to us! After all, Zhang San used this method.
I beat him several times."
Li Kai waved.
Li Guozhong and Zhou Cai immediately walked to the corner with him.
Li Kai whispered: "Actually, this interrogation method is more beneficial to you."
Zhou Cai asked: "How do you say this?"
Li Kaidao: "Have you forgotten that the new interrogation method was changed just to deal with Zhang San? If the old method is used, Zhang San will be able to talk nonsense. Moreover, that kid dares to say anything. I'm afraid of them
I didn’t even dare to answer the phone then.”
That method was brought by Zhang Fei, not designed by Zhang Fei. In Lin Fei's lawsuit at first, Huang Gui came out to help with the litigation. Later, Fan Chunren appeared and asked Wang Anshi to take the witness stand.
This is all to deal with Zhang Fei, not to help Zhang Fei.
Li Guozhong nodded slightly: "Li Tong's judgment is reasonable. In fact, we have studied the new interrogation method for several days. We are fully prepared and are not afraid of him."
"That's good."
Li Kai nodded: "This case may take many days to be reviewed. You also have time to get familiar with it. Don't be too nervous. If there are any problems, I will give you a wink."
"Hey, you! Thank you so much Li Tongpan."
"Winning that kid is the best thank you to me."
Li Kai made arrangements for the ear pens, witnesses, and guests who came to watch the trial.
Huang Gui is in charge and is responsible for preparing the text that will be used later.
...For this lawsuit, the Kaifeng Mansion had to prepare a lot of documents. After all, it was related to the taxes of 108 people. The Third Division sent two full trucks of documents over.
Kaifeng County and Xiangfu County also sent two or three cars of documents.
Huang Gui flipped through the wrinkled account book that had just been dried, and then secretly glanced at Mr. Lu, "Prefect, don't you take a look?"
Mr. Lu put down the tea cup and said, "No, just prepare what you will need later. When they mention it later, you can show it to me."
"yes."
Huang Gui nodded.
Gouyuan's account books were only delivered yesterday, but Mr. Lu didn't take a look at them for fear of dirtying his eyes.
While they were preparing, the door was already overcrowded, so the officials who came to observe the trial could only go to the side door.
"What do you think of Fan Sijian?"
Qian Yi asked Fan Chunren beside him.
Fan Chunren shook his head: "It's hard to say, the most important thing in this lawsuit is the evidence, and currently they are all hidden and have not been completely handed over to Kaifeng Mansion. Who loses and who wins depends on what evidence they can produce in court.
Come."
Qian Yi nodded and sighed: "The water leak in the Gouyuan a few days ago is definitely not an accident. I'm afraid Zhang San will be in trouble this time!"
Fan Chunren said: "I heard that Qian Yushi reported this matter to the officials?"
Qian Yi nodded: "But there is no evidence, and I dare not say anything nonsense. I just suggested that the officials send people to protect the evidence. It seems that the officials also sent people to investigate, but nothing was found."
Suddenly I heard someone holding out his hand and shouting: "Fan Sijian."
Fan Chunren looked back, "Su Zizhan."
Those who came were none other than the two brothers Su Shi and Su Che.
Su Shi came forward, first bowed to the two of them, and then asked with a smile: "Why didn't they ask Fan Sijian to come forward this time?"
Su Zhe on the side suddenly went crazy.
Are we really brothers?
Fan Chunren's expression changed slightly, and he said with a slight embarrassment: "Maybe they saw me losing to Zhang San several times in a row, so they don't have confidence in me."
He didn't want to defend those landlords, but when Su Shi asked and answered like this, it seemed that he was making excuses, so he simply said it.
Su Shi laughed and said: "Fan Sijian's words are wrong."
Su Che quietly pulled down Su Shi's sleeve and whispered: "Second brother, please stop saying a few words."
Su Shi Quan pretended not to hear.
Fan Chunren asked: "I wonder what Zizhan has?"
Su Shi said: "Actually, it's not that Fan Sijian didn't win opportunities in the past few times. It's just that Fan Sijian paid too much attention to morality and gave up many opportunities."
Qian Yi frowned and said, "What's wrong with paying attention to morality?"
Su Shi said with a smile: "Litigation is just like fighting. The point is to defeat the opponent. As long as the means do not violate the rules, there is no need to talk about any morality. After all, the final decision is not the ear pen, but the presiding judge above."
Fan Chunren pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What you said makes sense." After a pause, he added, "I heard that you want to join the prosecutor's office."
Su Shi smiled and nodded: "That's what I meant."
Fan Chunren chuckled and said: "I hope to see Zizhan's grace in the court then."
... Su Shi cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your advice. I hope I have this opportunity. I would have done something with Zhang San."
Fan Chunren smiled and said: "If Zhang San can still win this lawsuit, I think there should be a chance."
Su Shi smiled slightly and said: "Zhang San will definitely win this lawsuit. I have already paid fifty thousand dollars, but it's a pity that the compensation is a little small."
Su Che suddenly said: "Second brother, where did you get the money?"
"Me." Su Shi was stunned immediately.
Su Che looked at Su Shi, "Second brother didn't get it from under the bed, right?"
Su Shi hurriedly said: "Ouch! Third brother, how could you tell us where we hide our money?"
Fan Chunren and Qian Yi looked at each other, both of them dumbfounded. They said "goodbye" and went in first.
Su Shi wanted to follow him, but Su Che pulled him back and said, "Second brother, that's our rent money for next month. How can you gamble with it?"
Su Shi said: "Third brother, don't worry, my brother will definitely win."
Su Che immediately said: "Nine out of ten bets will result in losses, so there is no guarantee of winning."
Su Shi also knew this brother's character, "Hey young! At worst, my brother will go to a brothel and sell a few poems to get some money. After reading books for so many years, we two brothers will still starve to death."
Su Che had a headache, "Next time I will hide the money at the home of the great scholar Sima."
"ah?"
Not long after the brothers entered, they saw two old men riding in the shade of green trees, walking slowly this way.
It was Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, a pair of enemies.
This time they did not meet at the door, but had an encounter at the intersection ahead.
Apart from running against each other, it seems that the two of them have nothing in common. After all, their common hobbies are so boring.
"Junshi, have you been reflecting at home recently?"
"Reflection?"
Sima Guang looked at Wang Anshi in confusion, "What should I reflect on?"
Wang Anshi said: "This is the result of hiding wealth among the people."
Sima Guang snorted: "Have you ever reflected at home? If you file a lawsuit, the roof of the hook courtyard will leak. If you change the law, the Yellow River will not rise!"
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, I have really reflected on it."
"Really?" Sima Guang asked, "You should come and listen."
Wang Anshi said: "I just want to use this lawsuit to see what they can do. When I change the law, I will know how to deal with them."
Sima Guang chuckled: "What you saw is just the tip of the iceberg!"
Suddenly I heard a burst of cheers coming from the main entrance.
Sima Guang said: "That boy Zhang San must be here."
Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "Did you hear that? Those who have gained the Tao will help me a lot."
Fortunately, he couldn't hear clearly, otherwise, Wang Anshi would have been severely slapped in the face by Sima Guang.
It was indeed Zhang Fei who came, but the cheers made people dumbfounded.
I saw Zhang Fei getting out of the carriage, raising his hand, "Stop barking, stop barking, I'll try my best to lose."
“Thank you so much!”
"Sanlang, can you lose faster? It's best to lose in the morning. I'm still waiting for the gambling money to be revealed at noon today!"
"Damn! Why don't you save some face? It's really unreasonable."
After scolding, Zhang Fei jumped out of the carriage helplessly, and gently helped Xu Zhiqian get out of the carriage.
...Xu Zhiqian pursed her lips tightly and suppressed her smile.
Zhang Fei warned in a low voice: "Hold it, if you smile, they may misunderstand that we are confident. How many people will jump off the building, no, jump into the river."
Xu Zhiqian glanced at him, but she suppressed her smile forcefully to avoid causing unnecessary panic.
When I arrived at the door of the mansion, I saw Li Kai standing in front of the door.
Zhang Fei hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hands, "Hey, young man! How could you be so virtuous and capable as to dare Li Tongpan to go out to greet you in person?"
Li Kai chuckled and said: "You open your big ear pen and you are so majestic. If I don't go out to greet you, I'm afraid I will be scolded by the people! Please, big ear pen. Lawyer Xu."
Just call me Daerbi, and add "Lawyer Xu, you must be deliberately trying to mess with my state of mind."
Zhang Fei felt depressed for a while, but there was nothing he could do about it. Nowadays, ear pen has almost become his special term.
When we arrived at the courtyard, we saw two very simple wooden sheds set up in the courtyard, with just a roof and four pillars, but connected to the corridors on the left and right sides. There were two rows of long tables under the sheds.
Even so, Zhang Fei couldn't help but exclaimed, "Li Tongpan, the provincial government really took care of us this time and provided us with two such luxurious sheds. We are so grateful."
When Xu Zhiqian heard the word "luxury", she couldn't help it, and burst into laughter.
Li Kai didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, "Don't be too busy thanking me, you all paid for it."
"Shall we go out?" Zhang Fei blinked.
Li Kai nodded and said: "You each pay five hundred guan, for a total of one thousand guan."
"that."
Zhang Fei coughed twice: "I said luxury just now, it was just a polite way of saying it!"
Li Kaidao: "The shed is a trivial matter. The key is how much trouble your kid will cause us in Kaifeng Mansion every time he comes back. Look at how many chairs are placed on the corridor and how much tea is prepared. Doesn't this manpower and material resources cost money?"
The key point is that your kid's legal fees this time have reached 10,000 guan, and asking you to ask for 500 guan is really an advantage for you."
I was relying on my ability, but you are just seeking public benefit for personal gain! Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "Money is a trivial matter, but if this precedent is set, I'm afraid someone will deliberately raise the legal fees and exploit the people."
Li Kai immediately said: "Don't worry, this is only for you Zhang San, the others will not change."
Zhang Fei said resentfully: "Bullying people is not okay."
"I'm bullying you." Li Kaidao said, "You better not come here!"
Zhang Fei said: "If you don't come, how can you earn the nine thousand five hundred guan."
"Stop talking nonsense, go and stay there."
Li Kai pointed to the shed on the left.
Zhang Fei curled his lips and shook his head, "Zhi Qian, let's go."
Arriving under the shed, Zhang Fei looked at Qiu Zhengwen who was holding a rag, "Zhengwen, what are you doing?"
Qiu Zhengwen said: "I saw that the table was a little dirty, so I wiped it."
"What?"
Zhang Fei said depressedly: "Five hundred guan is just a treatment. The most sinister thing is the government. It's illegal for others to steal money. The government steals money, and we have to prepare our own donkey cart for them to transport dirty things. It's really bullying."
Xu Zhiqian said in a low voice: "Just say a few words less, there are all officials here."
Zhang Fei glanced sideways: "What are you afraid of? My father-in-law is too."
