morning.
Gao Wenyin was wearing a silk nightgown as usual, with her thick black hair falling vertically to her waist like a waterfall. She stood behind Zhang Fei, holding a wooden comb, and carefully helped him tie his hair.
"Sanlang."
Gao Wenyin suddenly shouted softly.
"Um."
"Did you eat at home this morning?"
"certainly."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Gao Wenyin asked softly again: "Are you tired of the food here?"
Zhang Fei was startled, and could not help but turn around, gently embraced Gao Wenyin in his arms, and asked solemnly: "Why do you ask this, Madam?"
When Yuan Jiang and the others were talking about things, he was not so serious, because he knew that Gao Wenyin cared very much about everything in his life.
This is a very serious matter and must be discussed seriously.
Gao Wenyin whispered, "I just noticed that you've been eating out a lot recently."
Whenever Zhang Fei had nothing to do, he would go to Big Dog's restaurant to eat. Right in front of the door, Gao Wenyin thought that Zhang Fei didn't like the food she prepared for him.
"So that's what it is."
Zhang Fei laughed: "I was just doing official business, and I only ate to chat with some people."
Gao Wenyin nodded as if she understood, and said, "So that's how it is, it's... I was overthinking it, but if Sanlang wants to eat anything, you must tell me."
Zhang Fei's eyes turned, "Now that you mention it, I suddenly want to eat something."
"What is it?"
Gao Wenyin looked at Zhang Fei eagerly, but did not notice that a big hand quietly reached in through the seam of her clothes.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Big white steamed bun!"
"ah!"
Gao Wenyin suddenly held Zhang Fei's mischievous hand with one hand and said angrily: "Stop being naughty! You didn't... I just finished helping you dress up."
Zhang Fei said seriously: "Make sure your hair is not messy."
Gao Wenyin almost laughed out loud at his serious expression.
It has to be said that Gao Wenyin's pure eyes, mature and charming face, and plump and round figure can make Zhang Fei defenseless anytime and anywhere.
Fortunately, he has a strong ability to restrain himself, otherwise, he would not have gotten up so early.
Dong Dong Dong!
There was a sudden knock on the door. "Judge Zhang, are you up?"
Oh my god! This workaholic.
Zhang Fei immediately felt a pain in his balls.
Gao Wenyin also stood up quickly, pulled down her collar slightly, gave Zhang Fei a blank look, then walked forward and opened the door, "Zhiqian, good morning."
"Morning, Sister Gao!"
Xu Zhiqian tilted her head to look at Zhang Fei, who was lying on the dressing table, thinking about life. "Why are you still sitting here? Get ready quickly. The court will start soon."
"In court?"
Zhang Fei was surprised and asked, "What eucalyptus? How come I don't know about it?"
He even suspected that he was dreaming, as he hadn't been drinking to the point of blacking out recently!
Xu Zhiqian said unhappily, "You forgot, today is the first time Shangguan Jun and his team are going to have a trial."
Although many people came to withdraw their lawsuits in the past few days, not all of them did so, and Cai Bian and his colleagues did not lack opportunities for training.
Zhang Fei spread his hands, "What does this have to do with me?"
"... ... ?"
Xu Zhiqian said: "Why don't you go and keep an eye on it?"
"Of course not."
Zhang Fei stood up.
The thoughtful Gao Wenyin immediately took the coat and helped Zhang Fei put it on.
Xu Zhiqian stepped forward and asked, "Why? Do you trust them so much?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Those guys are talented, brave, resourceful, and have strong opinions, but they are afraid of me. If I sit there, they won't be able to perform at all. If I'm not there, nothing will go wrong."
Xu Zhiqian frowned and thought, "What you said seems to make some sense."
"I'm their teacher, how can I be wrong?"
Zhang Fei took Xu Zhiqian in his arms and said, "I have already arranged today's schedule. I will accompany the two ladies to enjoy a delicious breakfast and chat for a while. Then I will make an appointment with Fan Da to take him out for a walk. In the afternoon, we will find some entertainment activities, such as playing Cuju or swinging on the swings. I heard that you women like to swing on the swings in this season."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes at him and said, "With so many things going on outside, you still have the mind to play football."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Now they are targeting the Qingmiao Law, which has nothing to do with our public security, procuratorial and judicial organs. And Zhiqian, you must know how to combine work and rest. When you have nothing to do, you should rest more and accumulate energy. When you encounter a big case, you will have the energy to deal with it."
Xu Zhiqian is not even 20 years old now, but she is full of energy. Her eyes are bright, "What's the big deal?"
"You are truly hopeless!"
Zhang Fei shook his head helplessly.
... ...
While Zhang Fei was still playing with his two wives, Cai Bian and others had already come to the office to prepare.
"How...what's going on? Are you dressed?"
"Help me check if my hair is messy?"
... ..
As single people, they can only help each other to sort out.
"Huh..."
Ye Zuqia said excitedly: "It's finally our turn to play."
Shangguan Jun said: "Remember, whoever conducts the trial has the final say, and the rest of you can only give suggestions but not interfere."
"It's a deal."
Several people nodded at the same time.
Ye Zuqia glanced at the sky and said, "It's almost dark. This first round is mine. You guys go get ready first. I'll be here soon."
Cai Jing laughed and said, "So you are so eager to compete for the first place, just to imitate your teacher and be the last one to appear on stage."
"No... No way, isn't this the rule of the imperial court?"
"What's the imperial court's rule? These are the teacher's rules. Let's go together."
The three of them pulled Ye Zuqia out of the door.
You want to use us to show off? You're overthinking.
However, when they arrived at the courtyard gate, the three of them still gave Ye Zuqia a little face. The three of them went in first, and then Ye Zuqia slowly entered the court and sat directly in the seat of the president of the court.
When he sat down, he immediately attracted the exclamation of an old lady who was buying vegetables outside the yard.
"Hey... Why isn't Judge Zhang presiding over the trial today?"
"Is Judge Zhang ill?"
... ...
For a while, there was all kinds of gossip outside.
Even the prosecutors were curious.
"Isn't Judge Zhang hearing the case today?"
"Um."
Su Che nodded.
Chen Qi said: "If that's the case, why does the Chief Prosecutor need to be there to supervise in person?"
Su Che smiled and said, "Nowadays, our procuratorate lacks experience, so we cannot miss any trial."
At this point, he turned around and said to the trainee prosecutors: "Don't underestimate them. There are few people in this world who understand public security, procuratorial and judicial affairs better than them."
The prosecutors nodded seriously.
... ..
Ye Zuqia and the others were not affected at all. None of them were stage-frightened. Originally, they were fearless and dared to confront anyone, but now the only thing they were afraid of was Zhang Fei.
But as the trial was about to begin, Zhang Fei still did not show up.
Shangguan Jun looked around and asked, "Won't the teacher come?"
Ye Zuqia glanced around: "Is the teacher observing from the dark?"
Cai Jing smiled and said, "I don't think the teacher will come."
The other three immediately looked at Cai Jing.
Cai Jing said: "If the teacher is here, it will affect our performance, and once the trial begins, the teacher will not be able to give us timely advice."
Cai Bian nodded and said, "Brother is right. I don't think the teacher will come."
"Actually, coming here won't affect me."
Ye Zuqia snorted, then grabbed the small wooden gavel in front of him and rubbed it hard with his thumb. Finally, he got the wooden gavel he had dreamed of in his hand.
With a bang.
"The court is in session."
... ...
Just at this moment, two young men passed by outside, they were Fan Zheng and Zhang Fei.
"The court is going to be held today, why did Third Brother invite me here?"
Fan Zheng looked at Zhang Fei curiously.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "The court is going to be in session today, but I have a day off."
Fan Zheng said: "Don't you need to keep an eye on Third Brother?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "This is your first time going out on a long journey to do business. Will your father keep an eye on you?"
Fan Zheng chuckled.
Zhang Fei said: "I am watching, which means I am the one conducting the trial. I have been with them for so long, it is time for them to conduct the trial independently."
Fan Zheng nodded.
Zhang Fei suddenly pointed to an empty lot in front of him and asked, "How about this piece of land?"
Fan Zheng was slightly startled, and looking around, the land nearby was all charming, "near the mountains and by the water, it's a good place to live."
"Leave it to you."
"Leave it to me?"
Fan Zheng looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Didn't Ma Laosi ask you to come to Hezhong Prefecture to check out the market? He wants to open a warehouse store here with our charity foundation."
Fan Zhengdao: "But didn't Third Brother reject me?"
Zhang Fei said: "But you are lucky, someone helped you get started."
Fan Zheng said, "What do you mean by lending money at low interest rates, Third Brother?"
Zhang Fei nodded: "You are not afraid of this, right?"
Fan Zheng hesitated for a moment and said, "If we decide to open a warehouse here, it won't affect us at all. We won't lend money to those self-employed farmers. Uncle Ma's plan is to make a lot of money by flying money, escorting, and lending. I'm just a little worried."
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "So I found a big backer for you to ensure you have nothing to worry about."
Fan Zheng asked curiously, "Big backer?"
Zhang Fei said: "He will be promoted to the Director of the Changping Division."
Fan Zheng was shocked, "Ti Ti..."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "The Ministry of Revenue will secretly cooperate with you, that is, to invest money in your warehouse, and delegate the loan business to you. The Ministry of Revenue is under the Transportation Department, and the Transportation Department is involved in the finances of all routes, which is a perfect match for your plan."
Fan Zheng was thoughtful. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. "The Transportation Bureau hopes to use us to deal with those big landlords?"
"No!"
Zhang Fei said: "The Transportation Department hopes that you will make money through your business means."
Fan Zheng was somewhat tempted, "If it's just for making money, then it's worth considering."
With the support of the Transport Bureau, they can go anywhere on Shaanxi Road. They all have business acumen, what they lack is security.
"It's just about making money." Zhang Fei affirmed again.
Fan Zheng said: "I'll think about it carefully."
Zhang Fei said: "But remember, don't let anyone know, and don't write to Ma Lao Si for the time being, so as to avoid leaking the news. This news must not be leaked out at this moment."
Fan Zheng nodded and said, "I understand."
Zhang Fei suddenly asked again: "As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. We don't ask you to deal with those big landlords, but they may come to deal with you."
Fan Zheng hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "If this business wants to prosper, it must rely on the public security, procuratorial and judicial organs. They have offended the third brother, so why should they compete with us?"
Zhang Fei laughed, "So we don't need to ask you to deal with them. Even if we let things take their own course, we can kill them all. You want to make money after offending the public security, procuratorate and courts? Haha..."
... ...
At this moment, Fan Zheng's future big backer was furious in the yamen.
"How ridiculous! How ridiculous!"
Yuan Jiang slammed the table and said angrily: "They can't defeat the public security, procuratorate and courts, so they take it out on our Transportation Department. I will not let them off."
He Chunlin hastily added fuel to the fire: "Master Yuan, we will have to distribute the seedling money in a few months. If no one comes by then, not only will we not make any money and cannot pay the compensation, but we will also have a hard time explaining to Master Wang."
Yuan Jiang became angrier and angrier as he listened. He suddenly looked at Cai Yanqing and Wei Yingfang, "Prefect Cai, Judge Wei, don't you have anything to say?"
When Cai Yanqing saw that Yuan Jiang was angry again, he knew that he must have discussed it with Zhang Fei, so he said veiledly: "This is not easy to do!"
"It's easy to do."
Yuan Jiang said: "The government can issue an order to forbid them from doing so."
Cai Yanqing was surprised and said, "I'm afraid this won't work? They are providing low-interest loans, which is not illegal!"
Yuan Jiang said: "The Qingmiao Law was just about to be implemented, and they are lending money at an interest rate of 1.5%. Even a fool can see that they are targeting the Qingmiao Law. When the Qingmiao Law is abolished, their high interest rates will come back again. Are we going to use the Qingmiao Law again? This is simply treating the court's policies as a trifle. And what is the difference between their actions and the brokers reselling goods and bullying the market? Why can't we do anything about it?"
In fact, Cai Yanqing had already realized this problem. The clan system can be adjusted at any time and is not restricted, but the new policy cannot be reversed.
If they play like this, the imperial court really can't beat them.
Cai Yanqing glanced at Yuan Jiang and said tentatively: "How about this, I'll go ask first to see if there is any misunderstanding."
Yuan Jiang nodded immediately and said, "Alright, this can be considered as using courtesy before force. But Magistrate Cai must tell them clearly that if they don't listen, the government will definitely forbid them to do so. If they fall out, it will not be good for anyone."
Cai Yanqing nodded.
As soon as he walked out the door, Cai Yanqing immediately said to Wei Yingfang: "President Wei, I'll leave this matter to you."
Wei Yingfang was slightly stunned, then he bowed and said, "I obey your command."
