Wang Hong’s answer was resounding and won many officials present who nodded frequently. He really expressed our feelings. Many things are not as simple as you ordinary people imagine, and we also have many difficulties.

Many times, it is not justice, but choice.

When Wang Hong saw it, he was secretly happy.

If this hurdle can be passed, maybe he will become a hero and be promoted again.

This is really a blessing in disguise!

"Compared to last time, Chunren has made great progress!" Han Qi stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Fu Bi nodded lightly and said: "Using the excuse of calling for tax payments will indeed put a lot of pressure on Zhang San."

While speaking, he glanced at Zhang San and saw that he also had a solemn look on his face. He was also thinking about how Zhang San would refute this.

This is actually very difficult.

The truth remains the same.

Taxation is the most important thing. Officials work hard to benefit the court. How can the court be willing to blame officials?

As long as you don't make principled mistakes, even if you encounter someone as selfless as Bao Zheng or Zhao Pin, the court will still reuse him.

The worst case scenario is that I will be demoted to another place, stay there for a year or two, and then be promoted immediately.

This is a very common operation in officialdom, especially in the Song Dynasty.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Fei.

"Zhang San?"

Seeing that Zhang San was still thinking, Xu Zhiqian shouted softly.

"What?"

Zhang Fei turned his head and glanced at Xu Zhiqian.

Xu Zhiqian said: "It's your turn to ask."

"Yeah?"

Zhang Fei was just thinking about Wei Yushan, but he didn't know that Fan Chunren had already finished asking.

Zhao Pin also mistakenly thought that Zhang Fei was in trouble and thinking, so he did not disturb them.

The officials on both sides were even more complacent, as they had stumped this kid.

But Wang Anshi, Sima Guang, Lu Huiqing and others were unusually calm.

Previously, the Kaifeng County Government used taxes to put pressure on the court and forced the Bianjing Law Firm to be punished. How could Zhang Fei be unprepared?

Oh! They may have misunderstood! Zhang Fei saw everyone's faces and understood immediately. He stood up and put his hands together in front of his chest, making a gesture of cupping his hands.

Everyone laughed, this kid finally became sensible.

Just now Fan Chunren used this to mock Zhang Fei.

Wang Hong looked even more disdainful, thinking, you only know how to salute now, it's already too late.

Suddenly there was a sound of "Smash it!" and everyone took a closer look and saw that this guy was drinking tea from a teacup.

Xu Zhiqian didn't even notice. She couldn't help but laugh, rolled her eyes slightly, and said that people are small-minded, but you are not big-minded either. She pursed her red lips and placed a copy of the article in front of Zhang Fei.

Zhao Pindu shook his head speechlessly.

This brat.

"Hi fun!"

After Zhang Fei put the tea cup down, he wiped his mouth and said, "You are not polite. You bite me and use this to ridicule me. I really don't know what to say." Then he asked Wang Hong, who was so angry that he said, "Wang Zhixian just mentioned Bianjing."

law office."

The first round of questioning by the two of them just now was without difficulty. Wang Hong was now full of confidence and felt that he was in the zone.

That's it?

"Yes."

Wang Hong nodded. He was in a relaxed mood and even teased Zhang Fei, "You should know this matter better than anyone else. Isn't it because of this that you designed to retaliate against me?"

...Fan Chunren glanced at Wang Hong worriedly, "Don't get carried away. This kid is very difficult to deal with in court."

Although he had performed well just now, he knew in his heart that Zhang Fei had probably guessed his plan, and he was still a little uneasy.

Zhang Fei was surprised and said: "Is this how Wangzhi County is judged? Everything depends on guesswork. If you use a gentleman's heart to judge the villain's belly, then everyone will be a humble gentleman. If you use a villain's heart to judge the gentleman's belly,

It’s true that everyone is a villain who must retaliate against others.”

Wang Hong said angrily: "How dare you, your little ear pen, dare to ridicule me?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I didn't say that, you admitted it yourself."

"you."

Snapped!

Zhao Pin shook his head and warned: "Try not to talk about anything unrelated to this in court."

"yes."

Zhang Fei's smile faded and he asked again: "Wang Zhixian just said that the tax calculation transaction of Bianjing Law Firm hindered the county government from calling for tax payments."

"I object."

Fan Chunren stood up immediately and said, "Chief Judge, Zhang San's question has nothing to do with this."

Zhang Fei immediately said: "The two pieces of eucalyptus are closely related. I will prove this later."

As soon as these words came out, many people looked surprised.

What is the relationship between these two pieces of eucalyptus?

Zhao Pin pondered for a while and said: "Just now, the county magistrate Wang said that it was precisely because of this that it hindered him from calling for taxes, which affected his attitude towards Geng Mingyi. Therefore, I feel that the tax calculation by Bianjing Law Firm

Eucalyptus also has a certain relationship with this eucalyptus."

Fan Chunren sat down.

Qian Yi whispered: "Does he want to use this to reverse the case for his law firm?"

Fan Chunren nodded and said, "It's possible."

Qian Yi said: "But this is difficult. After all, that sentence is the court's decision."

Fan Chunren frowned. He expected that Zhang Fei would definitely want to take revenge on Wang Hong, but he didn't expect that Zhang Fei would also fight for the scandal.

Zhao Pin said to Zhang Fei again: "You can continue to ask."

Zhang Fei nodded slightly and asked Wang Hong: "Wang Zhixian, can you give an overview of this story?"

Wang Hong hummed: "Don't you know it yourself?"

Zhang Fei frowned and said: "This is not the Kaifeng County Government. What Wangzhi County has to do is to answer every reasonable question I have instead of raising questions."

Okay, okay! Next time you must not fall into my hands. A flash of anger flashed in Wang Hong's eyes. After thinking for a moment, he replied: "At that time, I suddenly learned that many people refused to pay taxes.

. So they sent people to inquire and found out that they were agents of the Bianjing Law Firm, promoting a tax calculation business in the county. They hinted to the people that the court had overcharged their taxes. If they used their firm to calculate taxes,

You can pay a lot less taxes, which leads some people to refuse to pay taxes.

Moreover, they also used Zhang San’s name to intimidate the tax collectors. Because Zhang San was notorious, many government officials did not dare to collect taxes for fear of getting into lawsuits. In desperation, I decided to

I ordered them all to be arrested and punished with moss punishment as a warning. But it seems that it is of little use."

Zhang Fei nodded and asked: "Just now, Magistrate Wang said that the Bianjing Law Firm's ear pens hinted that the people refused to pay taxes. Can Wang Magistrate explain in detail how they hinted?"

...Wang Hong hesitated for a moment before replying: "They told the people that as long as they go to their firm to calculate taxes, they can guarantee that they will not pay a single penny more in taxes."

Zhang Fei asked: "Not paying an extra penny in tax and being able to pay less tax have different meanings."

Wang Hong said with a smile: "This is the method of some profiteers. They spread sensational words to benefit themselves, but at the same time they know how to circumvent the law. If you don't pay an extra penny in tax, it will naturally make the people mistakenly think that as long as they

If you find Bianjing Law Firm, you can pay less tax. According to my investigation, some people do refuse to pay tax, just because they are lucky and hope to pay less tax."

When Wang Hong finished explaining, Fan Chunren immediately stood up and said to Zhao Pin: "Chief judge, regarding the case of the firm, it was ultimately the court that gave the verdict, and Zhang San also admitted his mistake at the time and paid a fine.

, and now he is using this to defend himself, which is obviously unfair."

He obviously wanted to use the court to put pressure on Zhang Fei, because he knew very well that the Bianjing Law Firm's judicial practice was very detrimental to Wang Hong.

Zhang Fei immediately said: "I definitely don't want to vindicate myself. The behavior of Bianjing Law Firm at that time was indeed ill-considered and brought some trouble to the court. Even now, I still admit my mistakes."

Fan Chunren said: "But your current question is obviously meant to defend yourself."

Zhang Fei said: "I was wrong, but that doesn't mean Wang Zhixian is right. These are two different things."

Fan Chunren said: "That person was the one who was tried by Wangzhi County at that time. If he is wrong, you are right."

Zhang Fei asked: "May I ask Fan Sijian, what evidence do you have to prove that Wangzhi County's harsh punishment of the Bianjing Law Firm was for the public good, not for personal gain."

Fan Chunren said: "Since you have admitted that you made a mistake, Wang Zhixian stopped you from making a mistake. This is not for the sake of public service, so why?"

Zhang Fei asked rhetorically: "Many officials used the construction of water conservancy projects to line their own pockets. Yes, he built water conservancy projects and indeed took care of the people, but can we ignore him to enrich his own pockets?"
