Lu Huiqing has always had reservations about Zhang Fei, because Zhang Fei has never had a clear attitude, and on many things, he is facing Sima Guang.
The most important thing is that this butt determines the head. Without the public prosecutor and law, it would be difficult for Zhang Fei to gain a foothold here.
In Lu Huiqing's mind, she and Zhang Fei were more like a cooperative relationship than a comrade in the trenches.
In other words, he would not be shocked if Zhang Fei betrayed him one day.
Of course, the same is true for Zhang Fei. It is just a cooperative relationship, and he will not obey Lu Huiqing.
But the relationship between Zhang Fei and Wang Anshi is not like the relationship with Lu Huiqing, because Zhang Fei has clearly expressed his support for the new law. In Wang Anshi's view, Zhang Fei certainly belongs to him.
But when it comes to trust, Wang Anshi also trusts Lu Huiqing more. He did not tell Lu Huiqing about this matter. He only said that Zhang Fei explicitly asked in the letter not to tell anyone, which naturally included Lu Huiqing.
The reason is also very simple, because this move by Qingzhou is obviously trying to deceive the public security organs. If word of this gets out, Zhang Fei will face a great crisis.
Wang Anshi's character is similar to that of Sima Guang. Zhang Fei is helping him, but he can't turn around and sell Zhang Fei.
...
Zhang Fei got out of the car at Lushi Alley and immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the street. Everyone came up to say hello to Zhang Fei.
Whether it's the scholars who come here to shop, or the geishas and piaoters upstairs.
This Lushi Alley is definitely Zhang Fei's territory, because before he left Beijing, he was already the soul of Lushi Alley. This street used to be dominated by brothels. It was after he came that the whole alley became a
Erbi Street.
Of course, the most important thing is for Zhang Fei to gain more profits from the business on this street.
But now, Zhang Fei has returned with a gold plate, and he has the title of Chief Justice. Even though he is in Hezhong Mansion, his deeds have long been talked about in Recording Lane. In addition, the legal system has gradually won the respect of many young students.
Favored by Zhang Fei, everyone was more enthusiastic than before to see Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was very happy to see all the familiar faces and took the trouble to greet everyone one by one.
Zhang Fei walked this short half-street for half an hour before arriving at his law firm.
As soon as I arrived in front of the door, I saw Chen Maoqian, Fan Li, Fan Yong, and Ma Tianhao coming out of the store.
"You are all here!"
Zhang Fei said in surprise and joy.
Fan Li hurriedly explained: "We wanted to visit your mansion this morning, but Daniel told us that you went to the palace, so we thought that maybe you would come to the store to have a look, so we are here
I was just chatting, but I never thought that you, Saburo, are here as expected."
Fan Yong, Chen Maoqian, and Ma Tianhao quickly congratulated Zhang Fei and celebrated his great achievements in Hezhong Mansion.
After some greetings, a few people entered the store. The Erbi and tea-eaters also hurried over to say hello to Zhang Fei. For them, Zhang Fei was not just a simple boss, he was at the level of a master, because Zhang Fei was
Fei also changed Erbi and Cha Siren.
After greeting them one by one, several people came to the inner hall and sat down.
Zhang Fei first asked Fan Li: "Exceptor Fan, is the business in this store okay?"
Chen Maoqian said sourly: "Lao Fan has been really full these past few years."
Fan Li said helplessly: "Old Chen, I have told you so many times, but it just looks glamorous, but in fact most of the profits are made by those Erbi and tea eaters below."
"Outside of the staff!"
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "This person is a mediocre person if he is not envied. Let them talk. What do you explain? Tell me later, how much money I have earned in the past few years. I am bored recently and plan to buy a house."
.”
Chen Maoqian's eyes suddenly shone, "Sanlang, leave this matter to me, Mr. Chen, and you won't be disappointed."
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Do I have any other choice?"
Fan Yong suddenly rolled his eyes and coughed, "Sanlang is right. As long as the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate are here, it doesn't matter how much money we make. There is nothing to say. It's just that... I'm just afraid that one day, the Public Procuratorate and Procuratorate will suddenly disappear.
Well, then...then we might just be fat sheep!"
The eyes of these big profiteers began to wander.
Zhang Fei exclaimed: "There is something in what Fan is saying!"
Ma Tianhao said: "Lao Fan, although Sanlang is now the president of the court, he will not betray us. There is nothing to be afraid of."
With that said, he said to Zhang Fei: "Sanlang, we have been hearing rumors from outside recently that something happened to the Public Security Bureau in Qingzhou."
Chen Maoqian and the others also nodded.
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Even if something happens to the public prosecutor, you don't need to be nervous."
"How can I not be nervous?"
Fan Yong said sarcastically: "Since the establishment of the Public Security Bureau, our business has been getting better and better. In fact, even if we make the same amount of money as before, we can still sleep peacefully."
Businessmen are the ones who understand the benefits of public prosecutions and law the most. They don’t have to worry about unnecessary disasters or jealousy, because the concept of the rule of law is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of individuals.
But it is also conceivable how ruthlessly those evil officials will fight back once the police, prosecutors and law are gone.
Zhang Fei glanced at them, pondered for a moment, and said: "It's pointless for you to worry here, you can do something about it!"
Fan Yong said anxiously: "I wonder what we can do to help Sanlang?"
"You're not helping me, you're helping the police, the procuratorate, and the law." Zhang Fei said: "Actually, what you have to do is very simple, just make your business bigger and bigger, make more money, and pay more taxes. That's it."
Several people were stunned when they heard this, and looked at Zhang Fei doubtfully, as if saying---that's it?
You don’t need to tell me, we will do the same thing!
As for paying taxes, we would like not to pay them, but...but we dare not!
The performance of the Taxation Department depends entirely on our tax evasion.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Whether a system is good or not depends first on whether it can improve the court's finances, and secondly on whether the people can live a better life. If you live a good life and pay more taxes, of course the court will not
It will abolish the public security law."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chen Maoqian nodded and said: "It seems to make sense."
Ma Tianhao asked: "Sanlang, aren't you coming back because of Qingzhou's affairs?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "No, I came back this time mainly to explain to the Legislative Council. As for the situation in Qingzhou, I have also heard a little bit about it. As I just said, now it depends on whether they can solve the financial problem.
question."
Ma Tianhao asked: "Can that be solved?"
"how could I know."
Zhang Fei cheered: "Don't worry so much, just do your own business."
Although these people are not officials, none of them are human beings. They are convinced that Zhang Fei came back to solve the problem in Qingzhou. But seeing that he is so calm, we feel relieved a little. He allows us to do business with peace of mind, so let's
Do business with peace of mind.
As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, my greed started to take hold.
Fan Yong asked again: "Sanlang, will our tax laws in Tokyo become the same as those in Hezhong Prefecture?"
Zhang Fei asked back: "Does that member want to change, or does he not want to change?"
Fan Yong smiled honestly and said: "It doesn't matter if it changes or doesn't change."
In fact, he wants to become like Hezhong Mansion. Although the taxes may increase, the money he gives to the officials every year for wine, tea, and salt is much more than the taxes. The key is that it is full of uncertainty.
, this life is always in the hands of others, which of course doesn’t feel good.
"I don't know much about this, I don't care about it."
Zhang Fei shook his head and suddenly looked at Ma Tianhao, "By the way, fourth brother, why are you still here? I heard Fan Da say, aren't you planning to go to Hezhong Mansion?"
Ma Tianhao said: "I originally planned to go there and take a look. The people from Xiangguo Temple and I had already left Bianjing. Later, I heard that you were coming back, so I asked the people from Xiangguo Temple to go take a look first. I came back.
.”
Chen Maoqian said: "I heard that the business in Jiekupu over there is very big."
Zhang Fei looked at this sour man and said with a smile: "It's everyone's business whether it's big or small. The major shareholder's charity foundation belongs to everyone."
Chen Maoqian said: "Today, if we really count, the charity foundation may be the number one store in Tokyo, and it has to donate 10,000 to 20,000 yuan every year."
Zhang Fei asked: "How about your business?"
Ma Tianhao smiled and said: "It's a lot better, but there's also more competition. Anyway, it's much more interesting than before."
Fan Li said: "This is all thanks to the Public Security Bureau. If it is changed to the tax law of Hezhong Prefecture, I believe the competition will be more intense."
Fan Yong couldn't help but said: "Having said that, if we don't change, we will face both the control from above and the impact from below. It is better to let go. We are stronger and have more advantages."
Chen Maoqian snorted: "Your Baifan Tower is only a rival to Pan Tower. With your several-story restaurant, it is difficult to meet your opponents. But we are different. The business competition in our business is already very fierce. If it gets fiercer, our lives will be ruined."
It’s going to be hard.”
Several people soon started arguing.
Since ancient times, the only thing that has not changed is businessmen, because businessmen are naturally profit-seeking and profit-seeking. If the rules change, then businessmen all over the world may react in the same way, because their goals are completely the same.
With the emergence of the Public Security Bureau, everyone is making adjustments according to their own industry, and there is no need to teach them.
Zhang Fei didn't even bother to ask.
He can only bring rules and change them at a macro level, but he cannot teach them how to do business, but this is enough.
If there are no public security organs, even if you teach them how to make more money, they will not dare to learn.
But with the Public Security Bureau, they know how to make more money without being taught.
Zhang Fei originally came here to see how much money he made, but he never thought that since Ma Tianhao and the others were here, the plan would have to be shelved. However, from their argument, he also knew what the current situation in Bianjing was like.
Business competition began to become more and more intense, because the public security organs and the law were able to protect everyone's legitimate rights and interests, which to a certain extent weakened the relationship between small businessmen and small businessmen who dared to attack big businessmen.
Their business is getting bigger and bigger, but the threats they face are also getting bigger and bigger.
Conservative businessmen like Chen Maoqian don't like this kind of competition very much, but businessmen like Ma Tianhao enjoy it more. As for Fan Yong, due to his strong strength and the special industry of the restaurant, the impact he has received is
The youngest one still hopes to let go.
It's noisy, it's time to eat.
At the banquet, everyone did not argue much, and began to ask Zhang Fei about the situation in Hezhong Mansion, because yesterday in Hezhong Mansion may be tomorrow in Bianliang, Tokyo. So who can grasp the changes and who will stand out in the next round of competition?
.
It was already midnight when I got home. I only returned home at midnight last night. I was called by Zhao Xu early this morning. After two more meals of wine, Zhang Fei felt really tired. The moment he fell on the bed, he fell asleep directly.
But the arrival of Fu Bi the next morning broke Zhang Fei's dream of lying in bed.
"Zhang San has met Mr. Fu."
When he saw Fu Bi, Zhang Fei still bowed respectfully. This does not mean that he respected Fu Bi in particular, but because Fu Bi was born a gentleman, set an example, and was polite to everyone, including his servants.
"No need to be polite."
Fu Bi smiled, nodded, and asked kindly: "I didn't disturb your rest, did I?"
This must be disturbing. Zhang Fei said something different: "No! No! I got up early in the morning."
Fu Bi saw that his eyes were slightly swollen. He had obviously just gotten up. He could only smile. He stretched his hand to the side and said, "Don't stand. Sit down. Sit down."
"yes."
After Zhang Fei sat down, Fu Bi said: "In order to try your legal method, I deliberately suggested that the court give you the power of precedent, but you are not polite at all. Basically, you use this power in every lawsuit.
Even an old person has to wonder whether this "Song Xingtong" needs to be written again."
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Mr. Fu made serious remarks, but in fact it is not the case."
Fu Bi asked: "I would like to hear the details."
Zhang Fei said: "I have talked about this before, that is, the difference between legalist law and legalistic law. For the same law, if the legal ideas are different, the judgments given are completely different.
I have not changed any of the laws, I have only given them principles and explanations."
Fu Bi nodded slightly, then smiled and said: "I won't ask you in detail about these issues. You will go to the Legislative Council to explain yourself."
As he said that, he took out a copy and handed it to Zhang Fei, "This is about some of the debates about your jurisprudence in Hezhong Prefecture at the Legislative Council in the past two years. You should take a good look at it first."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu."
Zhang Fei quickly stood up and took it.
Fu Bi asked again: "Then when will you be able to come to the Legislative Council?"
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment, "Everything will be subject to Mr. Fu's arrangements."
Fu Bi pondered for a while and said, "Let's take a rest at home for a few days and take a good look at the issues that everyone is controversial about. I will make arrangements and send someone to notify you then."
Because the Legislative Council is not a fixed organization, if you want to hold a general meeting, you have to wait until the officials are on vacation, which is quite troublesome to organize.
"OK."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Fu Bi asked again: "Then what are your plans when you come back this time?"
Zhang Fei said sarcastically: "It's my turn to make the decision on this kind of thing. I don't just have to wait for the arrangements from above."
Fu Bi just nodded slightly.
Zhang Fei glanced at Fu Bi, reacted immediately, and immediately raised his hand and said: "This junior has only been an official for two or three years and has no experience in this field. If Fu Bi is willing to give you some advice, Zhang San would be really grateful!"
Fu Bi glanced at him and said: "In my humble opinion, with your talent, even if you want to be promoted, it is best to stay in the public prosecutor's office. Other offices may not be suitable for you."
Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly: "The rich man is right, if you let me have other official offices, I will not go there."
This is quite the truth. If he doesn't wait for the public prosecutor, then he would rather resign and let him become a financial official. It will definitely be a mess. He doesn't understand anything. He can only tell them some advanced financial management methods, but he can't end it himself.
The idea and execution are completely two different things.
Since ancient times, there have been few great thinkers who have also performed outstandingly in governance.
Zhang Fei can't even manage the law firm, and Fan Li is still in charge.
In the same way, people like Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others also understand the concept of legal system, but if they are allowed to use this concept to try cases, it will definitely be full of loopholes, and they are far inferior to Cai Bian and others.
You must know that Cai Bian and the others are extremely talented. They took a complete class and went through two years of experience before they went out to do their own thing.
Understanding and doing are two different things.
Fu Bi nodded with a smile and continued: "As for the public prosecutor's office, the police station is not suitable for you. The remaining ones are the procuratorate and the imperial court, but I suggest you go to the procuratorate."
"Procuratorate?"
Zhang Fei was slightly startled. This was quite different from what he thought. I thought I must be going to the imperial court.
Fu Bi glanced at him, understood his concerns, and smiled slightly: "In the procuratorate, it is inconvenient for you to use the concept of legal system to make a judgment, because the procuratorate can only file lawsuits in accordance with the law."
After hearing this, Zhang Fei was even more surprised and asked: "So Mr. Fu doesn't want to use the concept of legal system to make judgments anymore?"
"it's not true."
Fu Bi waved his hand and said: "It's just because you are a dispatch officer in Hezhong Mansion and have great power. No matter how you judge, they must obey. At best, they can only impeach you after your judgment, but they can't use this to impeach you."
Block your judgment.
But the capital city is not as good as Hezhong Prefecture. There are also political affairs ministers, Pingzhang affairs, Dali Temple, the Court of Justice, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai. Believe it or not, any of your legal precedents in Hezhong Prefecture will be released.
In the capital, it is difficult to enforce it, because you are giving new interpretations and principles, and they can use this to interfere with your judgment. Even if the final judgment is made, it will take a long time.
Moreover, Mr. Zhao is currently the president of the big court. Your rank is not high and you are not too old. At most, you can do the same as Lu Jiawen. If you go to the lower court as the president of the small court, you will not be able to obtain the same authority as in Hezhong Mansion.
But the Procuratorate is different. According to Lao Cao’s observation, the Procuratorate is more suitable for you young people. You dare to rush and have no fear. Anyway, whether to sentence or not is the president’s business. You were able to achieve such success in the first place because of your original enthusiasm.
Fearless courage and wisdom?”
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Actually, I prefer the Procuratorate, but my father-in-law is the Chief Procurator, so...!"
"This is one of the reasons why I recommend you go to the prosecutor's office."
Fu Bi further explained: "Because with your qualifications, it is impossible for you to serve as the prosecutor general in the capital, but you can indirectly control the procuratorate through your father-in-law."
Based on the concept of the rule of law, Zhang Fei is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the president of the Grand Tribunal and the Chief Prosecutor. However, last time the imperial court personally appointed Prime Minister Zhao Pin as the president of the Grand Tribunal. Although the purpose was to allow the Kaifeng Prefecture to hand over judicial power, it made this decision
Head, it proves that this position must be held concurrently by participating in political affairs.
Zhang Fei is not qualified.
And if the president of the court and the prosecutor general are nominally equal, then Zhang Fei will definitely not be the prosecutor general.
Xu Zun happens to be the Attorney General, so Zhang Fei can control it through Xu Zun.
Zhang Fei wondered: "Isn't it necessary to avoid suspicion?"
Fu Bi smiled and said: "In my dynasty, there are too many cases where father and son serve as ministers in the same palace. If the Qing Dynasty cleans itself, there is no need to avoid suspicion. Besides, now that there are public prosecutors, if they think that your husband-in-law secretly accepts and approves of each other, it will be a big mistake.
I can sue you, so what are you afraid of?"
Zhang Fei scratched the back of his head and said, "What Mr. Fu said makes sense."
Fu Bi added: "Also, you are not what you used to be. The number of people impeaching you will only become more and more, including those around you. Xu Zhongtu will definitely be implicated. The separation will make you, the father-in-law, and your son-in-law afraid."
If you are in the same official office, you don't have to worry about it."
This is also a solution. Zhang Fei's eyes lit up. If their father-in-law and son-in-law were in the same official office, they would not be afraid of being defeated one by one. He hurriedly said: "My father-in-law also considered this before and even hoped to withdraw from the procuratorate."
Fu Bi smiled and nodded: "I can understand what Zhong Tu is thinking, but you are too young now and still need Zhong Tu's help."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly, then cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fu, for your advice. Zhang San is very grateful."
"There is no need to say thank you for your hard work." Fu Bi said, "But this matter is not urgent for the time being. If you are willing, I will report to the officials when the time comes."
Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and said: "Junior is willing, but...as the rich man said just now, if I go to the procuratorate, I can only file a lawsuit in accordance with the law. In this case, I cannot use the concept of the rule of law."
Fu Bi smiled and said: "This is something I am worried about, but as you just said, the same law, based on different concepts, can lead to different judgments. This does not prevent you from injecting legal principles into litigation.
After talking about the matter, Fu Bi left. Zhang Fei walked to the door in person. Zhang Fei didn't turn around until Fu Bi left in a carriage.
"Ah! Zhiqian, do you make no sound when you walk?"
"You are too timid. You will be scared even at home."
Xu Zhiqian pursed her lower lip and smiled softly.
Zhang Fei said angrily: "It's not like you don't know what happened to me before. The first time I was beaten was at my own home."
With that said, he walked towards the hall.
Xu Zhiqian quickly chased after him, "Zhang San, is Mr. Fu coming here to discuss with you something to explain to the Legislative Council?"
Zhang Fei nodded, casually handed the copy to Xu Zhiqian, and said: "But this should not be the main purpose of his trip."
Xu Zhiqian suddenly asked with a gossipy face: "What happened in Qingzhou?"
"of course not."
Zhang Fei said: "I have already discussed this matter with Bachelor Sima. The rich man does not need to go there in person. Moreover, he will not talk to me about this matter. He is not in his position and does not plan for his own affairs!"
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously: "What is that for?"
Zhang Fei narrowed his eyes and said: "The rich man wants me to join the procuratorate."
"Why is this?" Xu Zhiqian asked in surprise: "Is he dissatisfied with your sentence in Hezhong Mansion?"
She also believed that when Zhang Fei came back, he would definitely be promoted to president of the court.
Zhang Fei shook his head, and then informed Xu Zhiqian of Fu Bi's suggestion.
After hearing this, Xu Zhiqian nodded repeatedly and said: "What Mr. Fu is right is right. The capital city is not Hezhong Prefecture. If your judgment is not in line with the "Song Xingtong", some people will definitely question you, which will make it more troublesome.
, and this trouble is something you can’t handle now.”
Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "I agree with this, but there is one point that Mr. Fu did not explain."
Xu Zhiqian said: "What?"
Zhang Fei said: "I want to take back my judicial power and at the same time uphold the power of the Legislative Council."
Xu Zhiqian said: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "Fu Gong obviously supports the rule of law, but if I am in the procuratorate, then I cannot directly use the power of precedent. I can only file a complaint based on the concept of the rule of law. So how can I change the current thinking of the law?
?
It's very simple. Based on my lawsuit, the Legislative Council will make adjustments based on it. So how to adjust and whether it should be adjusted, the power will be concentrated in the Legislative Council. After all, this ginger is still old and spicy!"
You must know that the Legislative Council does not have this power of precedent. It was specially established for Zhang Fei, because only he understands it. However, with the arrangement of this position, the Legislative Council directly holds this power in its hands, and Zhang Fei becomes
A legislative support staff member.
It can be seen that Fu Bi's skill is still there.
Xu Zhiqian said: "But Mr. Fu is right. If you use your precedent power here, you may encounter great obstacles. It is better to return it to the Legislative Council."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "So I have no objection. It's just...it's just that the procuratorate is too aggressive, unlike the president who is passive, so it's easier to offend people!"
Xu Zhiqian immediately said: "I would rather you serve as the prosecutor general and convict all those who violate the law and commit evil."
Zhang Fei said angrily: "You are really afraid that the world will not be in chaos."
Xu Zhiqian retorted: "How can this be to prevent chaos in the world? If justice is exercised, it will be scary. There may be nothing more terrifying in the world than this."
Zhang Fei blinked, pondered for a while, and nodded with a smile, "What you said makes sense. However, we have to make an agreement in three chapters to reconcile between husband and wife, but don't be too impulsive then, we can
We are not those who enjoy the shade, but those who plant trees, that is, we fight for justice rather than exercise justice."
Xu Zhiqian bowed and said, "I obey, the President of the Court."
"Ahem! Chief Prosecutor." Zhang Fei reminded.
"Pooh!"
Xu Zhiqian said: "My father is the prosecutor general."
"That's true." Zhang Fei scratched his head in embarrassment and thought to himself, what position should I hold in the Procuratorate? This needs to be thought about carefully.
Xu Zhiqian suddenly said: "Have you read this copy?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Don't look at it, there must be an argument about the imperial court asking the government to compensate."
Xu Zhiqian didn't believe it. She opened it and felt a little embarrassed, "How did you know?"
Zhang Fei said: "Most of the Legislative Council is made up of officials. They must be most concerned about this issue, and it must be the most controversial."
Xu Zhiqian asked again: "Then can you convince them?"
