Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 221 Key Witnesses
At this time, Zhu Pei rolled his eyes and said, "This matter should be widely publicized. No matter whether you win or lose the lawsuit, it will have a huge negative impact on Zhangjiaguan Pudian's reputation."

"Yes!"

Mingren on the side said bitterly: "Since Guanpu shop wants to take our money, we should let people in the capital know about it. Such a person doesn't even have the minimum credibility, so why open a Guanpu shop?"

Fan Ning was still a little hesitant. He fully agreed to hit the Zhang family's reputation, but he didn't want Mingren to be implicated.

Zhu Pei was considerate, and she whispered to Fan Ning: "Let Xu Qing do it. He did this for my third grandfather. The method is very subtle and the effect is very good. Even if the Zhang family finds out, they will find out that it was done by a competitor." , has nothing to do with Akihito."

Fan Ning pondered for a long time, then nodded, Fuguiqiao was sued, and the other two Guanpu stores, Jiuwenzhong and Guanlou, would spare no effort to promote it.

Zhu Pei immediately beckoned, and the tall Jianmeizi walked in, Zhu Pei whispered something in her ear, Jianmeizi nodded, turned and left.

Zhu Pei stopped mentioning this matter and said with a smile: "Let's talk about Tian Huangshi. I got the exact news that Tian Huangshi has been listed as a tribute. Before May this year, the first batch of Tian Huangshi tributes will come to Beijing!"

Speaking of Tian Huangshi, Ming Ren suddenly smiled, "Almost all the shops these days have come to ask me where I bought Tian Huangshi, and I told them that our Tian Huangshi was bought in Dengzhou. I don't know if it is the companion of Nanyang jade. Mine, let them go to Nanyang to toss!"

Zhu Pei asked worriedly: "Then you are not in the shop, will someone steal it?"

Mingren smiled slyly, "I rented another warehouse next to the Daxiangguo Temple. I secretly transferred all the Tianhuang stones there the night before, and then found a lot of pebbles to put on the shelves. I wish they could steal them all!"

Seeing Akihito being so cunning, both Fan Ning and Zhu Pei couldn't help laughing.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Early the next morning, Ming Ren went to the Kaifeng government office to respond to the lawsuit. People in the Song Dynasty were most keen on litigating civil lawsuits. The legal services were extremely complete and convenient. There were special litigators who ran errands for both parties to coordinate, and professional litigators wrote pleadings and came out to respond .

The plaintiff and the defendant only need to have their identities confirmed by the judge in the lobby, and then they basically have nothing to do. After the case is judged, they go home separately, basically unaffected.

For some unknown reason, the news spread quickly that Fuguiqiao Guanpu store was sued by gamblers for reneging on debt.

Early in the morning, hundreds of troublemakers gathered outside the gate of the government office, preparing to attend the lawsuit. A few "good fortune-makers" with particularly enthusiastic backgrounds were spitting and introducing the cause and effect of this incident to both sides.

Zhang Yaocheng came to the Kaifeng government office in a carriage, and he was secretly surprised when he saw hundreds of people gathered outside the gate of the government office. Usually, there are dozens of people who come to see the excitement during a lawsuit. How could there be so many people here today? people?

At this time, shopkeeper Wu hurried to the door of the carriage and said to Zhang Yaocheng in a low voice: "My lord, the situation is not good. I found that many people from Jiuwenzhong and Guanlou were among the crowd, trying to slander our reputation." .”

Zhang Yaocheng suddenly realized that he had forgotten that there were two vicious tigers watching. The competition between the three of them was extremely fierce. Now that Fuguiqiao was sued, how could Jiuwenzhong and Guanlou miss this opportunity to slander their opponents.

Especially Liu's Jiuwen Zhongguanpu store was hacked by him last year, and his reputation was greatly damaged. Can he not take revenge on himself this time?

Zhang Yaocheng became anxious, and hurriedly said, "Is the plaintiff here?"

"I've asked the dentist to look for it."

"Don't wait for the toothpaste, you also go to someone, find the plaintiff, I can pay his bill in full, and let him withdraw the lawsuit immediately."

"I understand, now go to the plaintiff."

Zhang Yaocheng felt a little irritable, yesterday he only thought that the complainant had no background background, and with the power of the Zhang family, he was not afraid of him suing, but he forgot about the competitor.

These two stores will definitely seize this opportunity to share their food. The elder brother Zhang Yaozuo was vague yesterday. Zhang Yaocheng didn't know about Fan Ning's matter. Now he faintly doubts whether this incident is a joint arrangement of Jiuwenzhong and Guanlou.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Ming Ren has already arrived at the government office and is discussing some details with Guo Lianshi. Of course, Guo Lianshi is not entirely out of money. If he can win this lawsuit, his reputation will be greatly improved. He can actually win the Zhang family. His business is not rolling in yet.

In particular, Bao Zheng came to try the case himself, which made him more confident. Most officials are afraid of offending the Zhang family, but Bao Zheng is not. This is a good sign.

"Why didn't your cousin come?" Guo Lianshi asked with concern when he found that Fan Ning was not there.

He found that Fan Ning was the leader of the case. Yesterday Fan Ning actually found Bao Zheng and persuaded him to take over the case. This is not something ordinary people can do.

Mingren smiled and said: "He went to Taixue to find a key witness. He made a bet with us at that time, and he also made a big bet himself."

Master Guo Song was overjoyed immediately, if there were witnesses, then the chance of winning would be even greater.

At this time, Wang Lin'er, the lawyer, hurried over. He was the lawyer Fan Ning and Mingren first sought, and it was he who introduced Guo lawyer to Fan Ning.

Then he opened the court to run errands, to notify witnesses, and to take evidence and other errands.

Wang Lin'er ran up to Mingren and said in a low voice, "The shopkeeper Wu Da from the Fuguiqiao Guanpu shop just found me and wanted to settle the case with the little official. I wonder if the little official is willing?"

Guo Litigation Master frowned, if the reconciliation is reached, then there is no business for him, although he does not agree with the reconciliation, but whether the reconciliation is decided is still in the hands of the plaintiff, he can't just talk about it.

Ming Ren asked, "What conditions did he offer?"

"The other party said that they are willing to redeem the full amount of the reward for the petty officials."

It's a pity that there are no tape recorders in this era. If there is a tape recorder to record the words of the shopkeeper Wu, it will become the best evidence.

Mingren said coldly: "Unless he agrees to pay the full amount and pays the same amount of silver, I can reconcile with him."

Guo Litigation Master felt relieved, this person obviously did not have the sincerity of reconciliation.

Yaren quickly passed Mingren's conditions to shopkeeper Wu, but shopkeeper Wu didn't dare to make a decision, so he hurriedly found Zhang Yaocheng.

Zhang Yaocheng was furious immediately, "Since you are shameless, let's fight the lawsuit to the end. I don't believe he can win the lawsuit?"

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
Taixue is located in the south of the outer city. It is a large university covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres. It is not very large now. It will not be until Wang Anshi reforms and vigorously promotes official schools that Taixue will win a big development.

In the period of Song Huizong, Prime Minister Cai Jing once again expanded the official school, and Taixue won the second major development. Its status was very high, and it was able to compete with the imperial examination.

Although Taixue is not bad, the number of students is not very large. There are only more than [-] formal students, but there are thousands of auditors.

The biggest resource of Taixue is not the school building, but its professors. Taixue is the center of great Confucianism in the capital, and [-]% of the professors have participated in the imperial examination examination.

In a class taught by famous professors like Jiang Wei and Zuo Yunshan, there are only dozens of students from Taixue, but there are at least hundreds of auditors.

It is also relatively easy to enter Taixue as an auditor. You can become an auditor at Taixue by paying 94 yuan, and you can attend lectures in Taixue for three years.

Because of the large number of auditors in Taixue, when Fan Ning asked about Cao Zongshi, the students all thought that he might be an auditor, and there was no such person among the regular students.

It is normal for auditors to call themselves Tai students outside.

After searching a lot in Taixue, Fan Ning couldn't find this person, which really disappointed him.

Time did not allow Fan Ning to continue searching, so he had to leave Taixue and return to the Kaifeng government office.

But it was such a coincidence that when Fan Ning walked to the north gate of Taixue, a large carriage drove towards him, followed by several entourages on horseback.

The carriage stopped abruptly in front of Fan Ning, and the curtain was pulled open, revealing a young man's face.

"Fan Shaolang, it's really you!" the young man asked in surprise.

Fan Ning was both surprised and delighted. There was really nowhere to find it, and it took no effort to get it.
