"How ridiculous! How ridiculous! How do you do things in Kaifeng Prefecture? You believe everything he says. I think you must have benefited from him. I will go to His Majesty to report you."

When Wang Wenshan heard that Zhang Fei had gone to Kaifeng Prefecture again to provide clues, and that they involved Chen Yuteng and the magistrate of Xiangfu County, he couldn't help but get furious.

When the hell is this going to end?!

He now feels a little regretful. He really shouldn't have gone to court to compete with Zhang Fei. Now he is stuck in the quagmire and can't extricate himself!

The key point is that it was Huang Gui who came this time, not the judge Li Kai, so naturally he has a louder voice.

Huang Gui had been prepared for the criticism and patiently explained, "Don't blame Wang Sinong. We in Kaifeng Prefecture are also trying to protect Wang Sinong's reputation. Now that Wang Sinong has accused him of false accusation, Kaifeng Prefecture must naturally investigate the truth and whether it constitutes a false accusation."

Wang Wenshan snorted, "If he goes to Kaifeng Prefecture again tomorrow to provide clues, and Kaifeng Prefecture investigates again, when will this end? He is clearly cheating."

Huang Gui said: "We in Kaifeng Prefecture will certainly not investigate based on his words, but since the magistrate of Xiangfu County did make a somewhat arbitrary judgment on Li Si's case before, and punished Li Si without sufficient evidence, what he said is not completely without basis. If Zhang Fei appeals to the Criminal Justice Department about these doubts, the Criminal Justice Department will also investigate."

Wang Wenshan glanced at Huang Gui, then suddenly sat down, picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said, "Okay! If you Kaifeng Prefecture don't mind the trouble, I don't mind it either, but I hope the case can be closed as soon as possible, and we can't just keep investigating it endlessly."

Huang Gui nodded and said, "I will tell our prefect."

As soon as Huang Gui left, Wang Wenshan threw the teacup in his hand against the wall and cursed, "This is really a mad dog."

He immediately called in another person and ordered him to rush to Xiangfu County to inform Chen Yuteng.

Chen Yuteng has become the richest businessman in Xiangfu County. Could there be no trick involved

... ..

Municipal Taxation Department.

"Haha! I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

"What is the mentor saying?"

Lu Huiqing looked at Wang Anshi curiously.

Wang Anshi said, "Oh!" and looked at Lu Huiqing: "Zhang San has gone to Kaifeng Prefecture to file a complaint again."

Lu Huiqing was surprised and asked, "Who is he suing this time?"

This is really a wonderful flower!

Making a complaint is like having a meal.

Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "It's still the case of Wang Sinong. This time he said that Chen Yuteng was in collusion with the magistrate of Xiangfu County. Haha, I knew that guy would not let it go. If he continues like this, I'm afraid Wang Sinong will really fall into his hands."

Lu Huiqing's eyes suddenly gleamed with light, and he sighed, "If Wang Sinong was as honest and upright as my teacher, Zhang San would not have found an excuse to attack him. This shows that this man is not upright and his behavior is improper. Alas... The Changping Warehouse managed by Sinong Temple is for the relief of the people. How can we feel at ease if it falls into the hands of such a person!"

Changping Warehouse? Wang Anshi was startled, as if thinking about something.

Lu Huiqing glanced secretly at Wang Anshi and said nothing more.

After returning home, Lu Huiqing immediately wrote a secret letter with his left hand, then called the servant and handed him the secret letter, "Hurry up and find a chance to hand this letter to Zhang San. Remember, be careful."

"I obey your command."

... ...

Xu Mansion.

"Although Chen Yuteng is definitely related to the magistrate of Xiangfu County, I'm afraid your blatant accusation will have little effect." Xu Zhiqian said: "Generally, investigating officials have to act in secret."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I'll just continue to sue."

Xu Zhiqian wondered, "What else do you want to sue?"

This really is a case of no limit to complaints!

Zhang Fei said: "Just make it up."

"Edit?"

Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei in surprise.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "The tricks between officials are the same no matter how they change. The only thing we need to think about is how to link those things with this lawsuit."

Xu Zhiqian shook her head and said, "I think you are playing with fire."

"right!"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "I am just playing with fire, but the one on the fire rack now is Wang Sinong, not me. Who do you think will die first? Forget it, you better stop talking, you crow mouth."

"You're the one with the bad mouth!"

Xu Zhiqian glared at him fiercely.

Zhang Fei quickly changed the subject: "By the way! I heard that Xiao Ma came just now."

Xu Zhiqian nodded, looking a little unnatural.

Zhang Fei asked again: "How is the investigation going?"

Xu Zhiqian was silent for a moment, "Then maybe Lin Fei does have some problems."

Zhang Fei said, "What do you mean?"

Xu Zhiqian said, "According to the information sent by Ma Xiaoyi, Lin Fei has been the head coach of the Three Yamen for more than ten years. However, he has made many military achievements with Lord Di and Prime Minister Han, but he has never been promoted. He has not even obtained a position. Many young coaches around him have been promoted. The reason is that those people have connections above them, but he has no connections."

The head coach of the 800,000 imperial guards sounds impressive, but he is actually just a coach and has no official position.

Zhang Fei asked, "Did Lord Di and Han Xianggong refer to Di Qing and Han Qi?"

Xu Zhiqian nodded, "Lin Fei is the soldier led by Di Gong."

Zhang Fei frowned.

Among historical figures, his favorite was Li Qingzhao, but Di Qing and Yue Fei were the people he admired the most. He always sighed when reading their stories.

It’s a pity that he missed three people perfectly. Li Qingzhao and Yue Fei were not born yet, and Di Qing just passed away last year.

This may be his biggest regret since coming to the Northern Song Dynasty!

Xu Zhiqian added: "In addition, his original wife died of dystocia when he followed Han Xianggong to the northern border for the second time. He married this wife from outside at the beginning of this year. It was very sudden and her identity is unknown. I have asked Ma Xiaoyi to investigate the origins of his wife.

Also, Lin Fei is well-known in the army for his drinking capacity, but according to what Yanei said, the three of them drank about the same amount that night. Yanei said he was a little dizzy, but Lin Fei was drunk and fell down, which gave Yanei an opportunity to take advantage of him. Judging from their drinking capacity, this is unlikely. "

Zhang Fei glanced at Xu Zhiqian, "Madam Xu is really thoughtful. She found so many clues so quickly."

Facing his praise, Xu Zhiqian just smiled calmly: "Even if I didn't find out, you would have found out. After all, you asked Ma Xiaoyi to deliver all this information. If it were me, I wouldn't necessarily ask Ma Xiaoyi to not even let go of the bartender who delivered the wine."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Although this is not conclusive evidence, if his wife's identity is really questionable, I am confident that I will win this case."

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly said: "But there is no solid evidence. What if all this is just a coincidence?"

Zhang Fei glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid this will be difficult."

Xu Zhiqian frowned slightly and bit her lips. After a moment, she said, "It's better to find out more clearly so as not to wrongly accuse a good person."

Zhang Fei asked: "Do you have any solution?"

Xu Zhiqian said: "Still thinking about it."

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! But if Cao Yanei can't hold on any longer and you haven't proven this, I will help him win the lawsuit."

Xu Zhiqian nodded.

"Third brother, third brother."

Suddenly, Li Si ran in in a panic, "Third brother, I just sent Xiao Ma away and was about to come back when a man bumped into me and stuffed a letter into me. I called him, but he not only ignored me, but walked faster and faster."

Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian looked at each other.

"Bring the letter."

Li Si hurriedly handed the letter to Zhang Fei.

"What's written in the letter?" Xu Zhiqian asked.

Zhang Fei handed the letter to Xu Zhiqian, "This must have been written by Wang Sinong's enemy. It's really hard to find it without any effort."

Xu Zhiqian took it and looked at it. It turned out that it contained some secrets about Sinong Temple. She frowned and said, "Maybe not! Maybe this is a trap."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "No, this is definitely not a trap."

Xu Zhiqian asked: "Why do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "Because I have to make it up anyway, I don't care whether it's true or not. What I have to do is to let Kaifeng Prefecture continue to investigate. I'll go to Kaifeng Prefecture first."

"Wait a minute!"

Xu Zhiqian hurriedly stopped him, "You go there too often. If you really anger Kaifeng Prefecture, you will suffer the consequences. I think we should wait a few days before talking about it."

Zhang Fei thought about it and said, "Okay! Then we'll go in two days."

Xu Zhiqian's purpose in stopping Zhang Fei was actually to wait for Xu Zun to come back and discuss it. The officialdom was full of crises, and she was afraid that the sudden news was a trap.

During dinner, Xu Zhiqian handed the letter to Xu Zun.

After reading it, Xu Zun said, "The content of the letter doesn't seem fake. The Sinong Temple is in charge of the Changping Warehouse, and there are many tricks in it. The things mentioned in the letter did happen some time ago."

At this point, he changed the subject and said, "But it could also be a trap. We have to investigate to find out the details."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Then let Kaifeng Prefecture investigate!"

Xu Zun worriedly asked, "What if this is a trap?"

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Don't worry, benefactor. It doesn't matter whether it's a trap or not, because as long as one of them is true, he will be the one to die, and I won't be making a false accusation. If you don't continue with this, then there's no need for me to be the spy."

... ..

Two days!

Just two days later, Zhang Fei visited Kaifeng Prefecture again.

"Second brother, calm down and don't be impulsive!"

"Don't stop me! I have to teach this guy a lesson today."

... ..

Zhang Fei had just arrived at the door and hadn't said a word when one of the yamen runners guarding the door couldn't stand it anymore and shouted that he wanted to compete with Zhang Fei.

It’s really not their fault.

Zhang Fei brought more than twice the workload to Kaifeng Prefecture.

The holiday is gone!

It is freezing cold again now.

Yamen runners are also human beings!

Fortunately, another yamen runner stopped him and said, "Zhang San, hurry up and leave. My brother gets angry and no one can stop him."

Zhang Fei shook his head stubbornly: "I won't leave. Anyway, the person who beat me last time also compensated me with 100 strings of cash."

It was quiet in front of the mansion...!

After a while, Huang Guixing came out and led Zhang Fei in.

It happened that Lu Gong was not at home today, and only Li Kai was on duty.

"This is the matter of Sinong Temple. What does it have to do with this case?"

Li Kai was furious.

This kind of matter is usually investigated by the censor.

Zhang Fei said: "To reply to the judge, this evidence is most likely the motive for Wang Sinong to commit the crime."

"What's your motive?"

Li Kai was puzzled.

What are you talking about!

Zhang Fei sighed: "In fact, I have been thinking about one thing before, that is, Wang Sinong has restricted my right to defend in court, which is to save face, so why did he launch such a vicious revenge on me.

Now I have finally found the reason. Please look at the specific crimes above, judge. They are all related to the house tax policy some time ago. This policy has harmed the interests of Wang Sinong. Just counting this account, Wang Sinong has lost more than 500 strings of cash.

However, this policy was made by me. Although it was also closely related to Wang Daxueshi, Wang Sinong would never dare to retaliate against Wang Daxueshi. Therefore, he put all the blame on me. Or maybe he wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkey. This was his motive. If we can find out this, it will be beneficial to my testimony. "

Li Kai was stunned. This was also related to Wang Anshi. He could not help but admire him. "Boy, you are amazing. You can even link everything to yourself."

Zhang Fei pretended to be innocent and said, "Doesn't Judge Li think so?"

Li Kaidao: "What else do you want?"

"Not for now." Zhang Fei shook his head.

Temporarily again? Li Kai didn't hit him, that was only because he was very well-mannered. He took a deep breath and suddenly shouted, "Then why are you still standing here?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll take my leave! I'll take my leave!"

Zhang Fei was so frightened that he ran away quickly.

Li Kai couldn't help but laugh when he saw the evidence, and said to himself: "Wang Wenshan is really unlucky for getting involved with this guy!"
