After dinner, Zhang Fei went back to his room to rest. Although he was still young, he couldn't bear it anymore. Even if there was a stunning beauty sleeping in his bed at this moment, he might still respond like a wise man.
Because so many things happened in the past two days, including the sale, the kidnapping, entertaining guests all day, and thinking all the time about how to fight this lawsuit.
This tense nerve has never relaxed.
The moment he fell on the bed, he fell asleep.
It was not until the afternoon of the next day that he woke up slowly.
"Third brother, the water is ready, do you want to take a bath first?"
Li Si said outside the door.
Zhang Fei suddenly felt sticky all over. He had only washed his crotch hastily yesterday. He couldn't help but praise: "Li Si, you are getting smarter and smarter."
Li Si said: "My wife asked me to prepare this."
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and muttered to himself: "In this age without computers and mobile phones, a woman is really indispensable in this family!"
After taking a hot bath, I felt much more comfortable and immediately felt refreshed.
"Third brother! The food is ready."
At this time, Li Si ran over.
Zhang Fei asked, "Is this arranged by Madam again?"
Li Si nodded.
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "This is really a case of losing something in one place but gaining something in another!"
At first, Zhang Fei was willing to buy Gao Wenyin, but that was only because it was Cao Dongdong who paid, not him. Who wouldn't want to get something for free? Even if her appearance and figure were not as good as Gao Wenyin's, he would still want her. He just wanted her body. However, this little wish was not fulfilled.
It made him very depressed.
But now it seems that although there is no physical pleasure, there is spiritual comfort.
Gao Wenyin's attitude and performance make this house full of homely feeling.
This is very important to Zhang Fei.
After all, when he came here, he was like a rootless duckweed. Although he moved to a new home, it was just like living in a hotel.
Zhang Fei asked again: "Where is Madam now?"
Li Si whispered, "Brother Feng Qi is here, and he is talking to his wife in the side room."
Zhang Fei frowned, "Didn't we agree to come back tomorrow?"
Just after finishing breakfast, Feng Nancy came to the hall.
"Arriving early is also a sign of being unpunctual, and I hate being unpunctual the most, especially when this unpunctuality affects our safety." Zhang Fei said mercilessly.
Feng Nanxi clasped his fists and said, "I'm really sorry! This is my fault, but my two brothers were making a lot of noise, so I had no choice but to come a day earlier."
Zhang Fei frowned and said, "Compared to being unpunctual, I hate making excuses for mistakes even more. Does your brother's making a fuss mean that he can implicate me?"
"Sorry! This is all due to my lack of consideration. I'm really sorry! I hope you can forgive me." What else could Feng Nanxi say? She could only keep apologizing and admitting her mistakes.
People are helping you out of kindness, but you are still causing trouble for them. Aren't you asking for trouble
Zhang Fei said: "Only this time."
"yes!"
Feng Nanxi nodded quickly, "I won't do it again next time."
Zhang Fei looked at Feng Nanxi and thought, although these people have many flaws, they are sentimental, loyal, and have good skills, which is exactly what I lack. He suddenly asked, "Have you met Madam Gao just now?"
Nancy Feng nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "Then she should have told you who lives next door to me."
Feng Nanxi nodded and said excitedly, "If Xu Sishi is willing to lend a hand, then it will be just a matter of time before we brothers can redress our grievances."
For people like them, having the Dali Temple as their backing is really unimaginable!
Zhang Fei asked with a smile: "Then what else do you have to worry about?"
"We have always believed that Your Excellency can redress our grievances."
Feng Nancy paused for a moment and continued, "If you can win this lawsuit and prove that we are innocent, then it would be wrong to confiscate our property. It should be returned to us. Right?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Of course."
Feng Nanxi said: "Then my sister-in-law should not be sold, and the court should return the 1,500 strings of cash to you."
Zhang Fei frowned: "Why? You don't think I would use such a despicable method to force Madam Gao to submit, do you?"
Feng Nanxi hurriedly said, "I have never thought of this."
Zhang Fei asked for no reason: "We have never met before, why do you believe me?"
Feng Nanxi said, "This is because I have heard of your great name and I know that you have helped many people clear their grievances and seek justice."
Zhang Fei asked: "Is that all?"
Nancy Feng nodded.
Zhang Fei smiled and asked, "Really?"
Feng Nanxi hesitated for a moment, "Besides, my sister-in-law was determined to commit suicide at the time, and I also wanted to use this opportunity to interrupt her suicide thoughts."
Zhang Fei said: "This is also my purpose."
Feng Nanxi looked at Zhang Fei in confusion.
Zhang Fei said: "I just want to use her gratitude and guilt to stop her from committing suicide. When I help you clear your name, she can leave at any time. I won't stop her. I don't want her to commit suicide in my house."
After hearing this, Feng Nanxi was touched and ashamed. He felt that he had judged others by his own standards, so he immediately clasped his fists and bowed, "Sir, I will never forget your kindness. If you need me in the future, please let me know."
"Let's not talk about these."
Zhang Fei raised his hand and said, "Okay! You can stay here first and do some work that you can do. I have to go out for something later."
... ...
This time when Zhang Fei went out, he did not bring Li Si with him because he was just going next door.
"They are newlyweds, very much in love, how come you still have time to come to me?"
When Xu Zhiqian saw Zhang Fei, she couldn't help but tease him again.
You little girl is getting more and more presumptuous, it seems that she needs to be taught a lesson. Zhang Fei winked at Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Fei said affectionately: "Mrs. Xu, don't you understand my heart?"
Xu Zhiqian blushed and spat, "Stop talking nonsense, you scoundrel."
Zhang Fei snorted, "You are allowed to set fire, but I am not allowed to light a lamp. If you make trouble again, I will make sure you can't get married."
Xu Zhiqian was really frightened and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Zhang Fei said: "Of course it's work! Do you really think I came here to talk about love?"
"You still say."
Xu Zhiqian glared at him and quickly changed the subject: "Have you decided?"
"not yet!"
Zhang Fei shook his head. "I came here to borrow some documents and case files."
Xu Zhiqian asked: "What case file do you want?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's about Taizu and Taizong."
Xu Zhiqian was shocked. "You... why do you want the case files of Taizu and Taizong? Aren't you going to court?"
Zhang Fei said: "It's for a lawsuit. I can't explain this for now. I have to check it out first."
The lawsuit has been brought against Taizu and Taizong. What do you want to do? Xu Zhiqian was a little panicked, "This... These have to be asked... Ask my father."
The two found Xu Zun again.
Xu Zun first gave him some books about Taizu and Taizong, mainly some policies promulgated by Taizu and Taizong at that time. At the same time, Xu Zun also told Zhang Fei everything he knew.
After talking with Xu Zun, Zhang Fei took the case files back to his home and studied them for a whole day.
morning.
In front of Wang’s house.
"Third brother, we have been standing here for half an hour."
Li Si reminded Zhang Fei carefully.
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "Has it been so long?"
"Um."
Li Si nodded.
Zhang Fei glanced at Li Si, then at the Wang family's gate, and said with emotion: "Once you enter this door, there is no turning back. You must go all the way to the end."
Li Si didn't understand and thought it sounded scary. "Brother San, if it's so scary, then we shouldn't go in."
Zhang Fei sighed: "We have to go in eventually, just a little earlier than I thought. Let's go!"
Dong Dong Dong!
With a creak, the doorman poked half his head out and asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Zhang Fei said, "I am Zhang Fei, and I have come here today to pay a visit to Grand Secretary Wang."
"Wait a moment."
The doorman said this and closed the door.
After a while, the doorman opened the door and welcomed Zhang Fei in.
When I entered the door, the first person I saw was Mrs. Wang. I have to say that Mrs. Wang had a very good impression of Zhang Fei. When she saw Zhang Fei coming, she was quite enthusiastic.
"Sanlang is really a man of hidden talents. His phrase 'people are thinner than yellow flowers' is beyond the reach of our great scholar Wang!"
Everyone in the Tokyo literary world knows about that poem.
Mrs. Wang copied down this poem.
"I dare not! I dare not!"
Zhang Fei said in fear and trepidation: "If Zhang San is compared with Wang Daxueshi, it would be like a firefly competing with the bright moon. He overestimates his own abilities and brings disgrace upon himself."
Wang Anshi, who came out next, coughed twice and asked, "Did you really write that poem?"
He was really embarrassed because his poems were far inferior to his articles and could not be compared with Li Qingzhao's poems.
Li Qingzhao later directly joked that reading Wang Anshi's poems made people laugh so hard that their stomachs hurt.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes."
Wang Anshi said: "This is obviously written by a woman."
Zhang Fei asked: "The question is who did I copy from?"
Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right. I don't think any woman in the world today can write such a quatrain."
She was also a famous talented woman of her time, and she had never found any other woman who could write such a quatrain.
Wang Anshi glanced at his wife and wondered what kind of magic potion this boy had given his wife to make her so loyal to him. He was dissatisfied and snorted, "You have to find someone to write your articles for you, how can you write such a quatrain?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Isn't this true love? It stimulated my inspiration for a while, so I came up with some good sentences and performed beyond my level."
Mrs. Wang pursed her lips and smiled: "I didn't expect Sanlang to be such a passionate and talented man."
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Madam, you are too kind."
Wang Anshi couldn't stand this boy anymore. "You are newly married, why are you coming to my place?"
Wow... Why is the tone the same as Xu Zhiqian's? Zhang Fei's expression changed, and he said slyly, "Big eucalyptus."
"A big case?" Wang Anshi was stunned.
Mrs. Wang was very tactful and said, "My husband, you talk to Sanlang. I will ask the servants to bring up some tea and snacks."
"Thank you, Madam."
After Mrs. Wang left, Wang Anshi asked again, "Did you really do it?"
Zhang Fei was about to cry, "I said no, but no one believed me!"
"sophistry!"
Wang Anshi snorted and added in his mind, "I believe it!" Then he asked, "What's the big deal?"
Zhang Fei then told Wang Anshi the truth about the Shi brothers.
After hearing this, Wang Anshi immediately stood up and said, "It's really outrageous. They actually did such a heartless thing..."
He hated this kind of thing the most in his life and had seen it too many times, so he was determined to reform.
After scolding him, Wang Anshi suddenly looked at Zhang Fei again, "You should go to Kaifeng Prefecture for this matter, or ask Xu Si for help, why did you come to me?"
He has only been back in the government for less than a year, and is not yet a councilor or governor, so this is not within his authority.
The key point is that Zhang Fei used to go directly to Kaifeng Prefecture.
Zhang Fei said, "To be honest with you, Grand Secretary Wang, I have already discussed this matter with you. This case is not that easy to investigate. The key is that this is not something I am good at, nor is it something I can control. Once we start investigating, who knows what the result will be."
Wang Anshi certainly understood the reason behind this. This was as common as usury. He asked again, "What are your plans?"
Zhang Fei said: "I plan to sue the court directly regarding the corvée law."
"Sue the court?"
Wang Anshi couldn't help but be shocked.
He thought he was already quite rebellious, at least that's what others said, but compared to Zhang Fei, he suddenly felt that he was quite well behaved.
Hmm? Wait! Sue according to the Corvée Law? Wang Anshi suddenly got excited and sat down next to Zhang Fei. He asked, "Suing the court is unheard of. What are you going to do?"
Zhang Fei slowly held his breath.
