Zhang Fei really never expected that the deal between Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi would be so cliche. There was nothing new at all. It was just the most traditional bundle of interests.

Although Wang Anshi did this, it was really possible that he was preparing to attack Xixia in the future. The court was indeed full of doves, including Fu Bi and Han Qi, who did not agree with starting a war in a short period of time because they had experienced wars and knew

How much impact will the war have on the country? At the same time, they believe that the Song Dynasty currently has no qualifications to launch a war.

It is almost impossible to obtain the unanimous consent of the prime ministers. There is nothing wrong with saving some money privately for emergencies.

However, Zhang Fei believes that Wang Anshi must have had some small thoughts and used this kind of interest bundle to make the emperor prefer the New Deal.

But if this kind of thing were to be known, it would be very troublesome. If this matter was confirmed, it would have a huge impact on both the emperor and the New Deal.

Because this phenomenon is very bad.

Even in a feudal society, one cannot arbitrarily transfer all the country's money to the emperor. This is no different from corruption and bribery.

Therefore, at the beginning of the case, Zhao Xu did not even tell Zhang Fei about it, including whether to let the procuratorate take over the case.

Things cannot be hidden.

However, as the Yushitai requested to investigate the internal treasury, Zhao Xu could not calm down. In addition, the struggle between the two factions became more and more intense, and he could not control himself, so he quickly called Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei couldn't help rubbing his forehead with a headache, "Your Majesty, things may not be that simple."

Zhao Xu quickly asked: "Why did you say that?"

Zhang Fei glanced at Zhao Xu and said: "If your Majesty stands with Academician Wang and punishes those censors, I can guarantee that they will use our procuratorate to continue the prosecution, and may raise this issue.

This matter has reached this point, and they have no way out."

If they lose, not to mention the conservatives, the Yushitai will not be able to accept it. They will definitely try every means to stop the emperor. You don't have to guess, they will definitely use the public prosecutor's law.

When Zhao Xu heard this, he immediately frowned and felt a chill on his back, "Yes! They can also prosecute from the procuratorate."

If that's the case, then the public prosecutor's office will really suffer.

Therefore, Zhang Fei is also very anxious now.

If we continue like this, we may lose everything.

Zhao Xu also became anxious. He didn't want to really abandon the public security law for the sake of the New Deal, and asked: "Do you have any way to deal with it?"

Zhang Fei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Your Majesty, what exactly do you think?"

As far as this matter is concerned, he is not clear about Zhao Xu's attitude, because so far, Zhao Xu has not favored Wang Anshi, and there must be a reason for this.

Zhao Xu had a worried look on his face. After a while, he sighed, "To tell you the truth, at first, I wanted to stop Yushitai from investigating the case, but I also believe that this is not groundless, so I also hope that Yushitai will

Taiwan can investigate clearly and find out what is going on.

The results of the subsequent Yushitai investigation also made me very worried. Southeast Sixth Road is the financial center of the country and cannot be tolerated. If Xue Xiang really does evil there and makes the people's livelihood miserable, I will not protect him."

It can be seen that the Yushitai's method was still effective, and it successfully aroused the emperor's inner worry, and he also wanted to know the truth of the matter.

One of the very key reasons is that Zhao Xu did give Xue Xiang great power, including the power to appoint and remove some officials.

Now Yushitai has come up with some evidence to prove that Xue Xiang is nepotistic and rejects dissidents, which of course makes him a little worried.

It's just that he also benefited from it, so he is now in a dilemma.

Zhang Fei didn't have much of a clue at the moment, so he said: "Your Majesty, I want to understand the specific circumstances of the Yushitai interrogation before I can think of a solution."

He is a lawyer by training, and he is not very good at making fantasies. Political struggle is not what he is good at. He must see the information before he can think of a solution.

Zhao Xu said nothing and agreed immediately.

On the same day, he asked someone to copy a copy of the interrogation record of the Yushitai, and then ordered Li Bao to secretly send it to Zhang Fei.

These are all confidential and cannot be leaked.

Third watch time.

Inside Zhang Fei's bedroom, there was a rare bright candlelight.

The couple seemed to have returned to the time when they first met, working tirelessly through the interrogation materials at the Yushitai.

After all, there were more than a hundred witnesses, and the table was full.

Xu Zhiqian was really excited and immersed in it, unable to extricate herself. She had long forgotten about her newborn son.

"If what is written above is true, then... then Wen Gong and the others are right. There are still many problems with this method, especially the tendency to breed corruption. This is really the same as what Mr. Su said at the beginning.

This method sounds reasonable, but when implemented, it is difficult to supervise."

Xu Zhiqian pouted slightly. She had always been very supportive of Wang Anshi and believed in the New Deal. However, these confessions made her have some doubts about the method.

"It shouldn't be fake."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "The uniform transmission method has been implemented on Southeast Sixth Road for so many years without problems. If more than a hundred victims cannot be found, then this policy was thought up by gods. It's just that

How many people do they represent? Only in this way can we determine the success or failure of this policy."

Xu Zhiqian said: "What they experienced was not that they were oppressed by officials because of special things, but because of policies. If what they said is true, then there must be many people who have the same situation as them.

encounter."

Zhang Fei nodded, did not deny this, and suddenly asked: "That's right! Will the interrogation at Yushitai help the witnesses and polish their confessions?"

Xu Zhiqian pondered for a moment, "There will be some changes, but they will only be limited to transcribing some lengthy spoken words into concise sentences, but it will not change the meaning at all, and it will not cause ambiguity."

After that, she looked at Zhang Fei and asked: "What? Do you want to start with the confession? It is impossible for the Yushitai to make such a mistake, especially in the face of this kind of case, let alone Zeng Xianggong and

The Privy Councilor is watching."

"Not really."

Zhang Fei handed a piece of information in his hand to Xu Zhiqian, "Look at this person's identity and confession."

Xu Zhiqian took it and looked at it carefully, "What's the problem?"

Zhang Fei said: "Take a closer look."

Xu Zhiqian read it from the beginning again and shook her head, "I still don't understand what you are talking about."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes, "Are you stupid for giving birth to a child?"

Not only was Xu Zhiqian not annoyed, she burst out laughing, and then gave Zhang Fei a hard look, "If it's true, it's your fault too!"

Zhang Fei hurriedly laughed and said seriously: "This person is a fruit farmer, but if you look at his answers, they are very organized. If Yushitai had not polished and sorted them out, it would not look like he was a fruit farmer at all.

answer."

Xu Zhiqian said: "But not every farmer is honest and honest and doesn't know how to speak. These are just oral confessions, and we don't ask him to write anything."

"What about these people?"

Zhang Fei placed several more documents in front of Xu Zhiqian.

After reading them one by one, Xu Zhiqian said, "Yes! Their answers were all clear and concise, but this is inconsistent with their identities."

At this point, she asked again: "Could it be that they specially selected some smart people to come to the capital to complain?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said: "It's possible, let me teach you some more by the way."

Xu Zhiqian said: "But if these are all facts, it doesn't matter even if someone teaches you."

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "That depends on what our purpose is."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Fei said: "If we want to appeal for those corrupt officials, these really don't matter, but if we want to safeguard the New Deal, we can make a fuss about this."

Xu Zhiqian blinked her beautiful eyes, "You mean to dig out the purpose of those who taught them behind the scenes, so as to question the true purpose of their complaint."

"exactly."

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I believe those people are definitely not out of good intentions."

Xu Zhiqian said: "But first, do you want to think about how to transfer this case to the public prosecutor's office?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said: "I have already thought about this step. The question now is how to fight this lawsuit."

I added in my mind that I also wanted to clean up the emperor's account. Really, I told him tens of thousands of times that he was professional, professional, and even money laundering was not left to professionals, but

It’s really fatal!

...

The Ordinance Department of the Second Government was established.

"Jiefu."

Zeng Gongliang sighed softly: "If those people tell the truth, it will be very detrimental to you, and I can't stop Wen Yanguo."

Although he supported Wang Anshi's reform, he was very cautious and would not easily take sides or let himself get involved.

Then Chen Shengzhi was even more cunning and didn't even come, because he knew that Zeng Gongliang was more cautious than him.

At present, officials from North Korea and China are exerting great pressure on him.

Wang Anshi said very patiently: "Prime Minister Zeng, even if what those people said is all true, I can guarantee that this is by no means the whole story.

Let alone the New Deal, even if we just talk about criminal cases, it would not be difficult to find a hundred corrupt officials in Southeast Sixth Road.

Their purpose is not to enrich the people and strengthen the country, nor to suggest that I reform the New Deal, but to target me, Wang Jiefu, and the New Deal, with the intention of driving me out of the government.

Therefore, they wasted the money and food that the imperial court saved by Gu Yinjun's defeat, and the benefits that Gu Jun's defeat brought to the people of Jiangnan. Is this really fair?"

It has to be said that Wang Anshi's eloquence is also first-rate. He does not deny those words of the people, but he questions the true purpose of Yushitai.

Zeng Gongliang seemed a little hesitant and stroked his beard, "Even so, the difficulty now is how to solve this case. I can't always stop Wen Yanguo."

Wang Anshi said: "But it is impossible to interrogate more than a hundred people for only a few days."

Zeng Gongliang said: "But it can't be delayed for too long."

Wang Anshi nodded, knowing in his heart that Zeng Gongliang would never get himself involved for him.

As soon as Zeng Gongliang left, Deng Wan arrived with his hind legs.

"Ms. Wang, the officials haven't made a decision yet. Do you believe their words?" Deng Wan asked with deep concern.
