Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 397 Formal filing
Zhang Shengnian is about forty years old. From the outside, it looks like a piece of dried old bacon, shiny and dry. He is a younger brother of Zhang Yaozuo's clan and a capable general of Zhang Yaozuo's faction. In recent years, Zhang Yaozuo's power in the court has greatly increased. Great achievements.

At this time, Zhang Sheng was reporting two impeachment matters to Zhang Yaozuo.

"Useless idiot!"

Zhang Yaozuo scolded in dissatisfaction: "Who would have no excuses? I don't believe that Bao Heizi is just like that, without any problems?"

"The humble official sent people to check it. Bao Zheng really rented the house, not bought it. The monthly payment of [-] yuan was paid on time."

Zhang Yaozuo's face was very ugly. Someone reported that Bao Zheng had a house outside. This incident made Zhang Yaozuo feel as if he had been beaten with blood. There must be a problem with how Bao Zheng's salary can afford a house in the inner city.

I thought I had caught Bao Zheng, but unexpectedly it turned out that it was a rented house. How could Zhang Yaozuo not be disappointed or extremely annoyed.

At this time, Zhang Sheng said cautiously: "Fan Ning took office yesterday!"

"I know, you didn't go to congratulate!"

"I don't dare, but I sent people to keep an eye on his actions. There is something that I need to report to the head of the country."

"whats the matter?"

"It was the first case he handled. This afternoon, he filed the case of Ouyang Xiu."

"He wants to impeach Ouyang Xiu?" Zhang Yaozuo asked in surprise.

"No! He wants to investigate Xue Zongru's slander against Ouyang Xiu."

"what?"

Zhang Yaozuo was taken aback immediately, and said anxiously, "Then why didn't the court impeach Ouyang Xiu?"

Zhang Sheng was somewhat puzzled: "Jia Ge meant that the time for impeachment is not yet ready. If you wait for a while to make Ouyang Xiu's reputation completely rotten, the effect of impeaching him will be even better."

"Jia Changchao knows what!"

Zhang Yaozuo cursed angrily: "Anyone who kills a chicken knows that he will kill it if he bleeds it. What is he waiting for? Waiting for the matter to settle down?"

Zhang Sheng said cautiously: "Maybe he wants to join forces with the Qian family, but Qian Mingyi has not responded positively yet."

"Who said the Qian family didn't respond? The tabloids are so publicized. Didn't the Qian family respond to this matter?"

"It is estimated that Jia Ge always wants to join forces with Qian Mingyi to impeach Ouyang Xiu, but Qian Mingyi has not agreed for a long time."

"This matter has long nights and dreams, and it can't be delayed any longer. You file a case for impeachment today, and then say hello to Jia Changchao, just say it's my intention, and it will be long nights and dreams if it drags on."

After a pause, Zhang Yaozuo said again: "Tell him about Fan Ning's case."

"Humble job understands, let's make arrangements!"

Zhang Sheng saluted and left. At this moment, Zhang Yaozuo's grandson, Zhang Chun, said beside him, "Grandfather, Fan Ning just took office yesterday, and the case is filed today. I'm afraid it's not accidental."

Zhang Yaozuo snorted, "Could it be that Jia Changchao is a little confused? I dragged Zuo Jianyuan to him for more than a month, but he didn't seize the opportunity and insisted on dragging the Qian family on board. If the Qian family is willing to board the boat, Will you wait until now? I don't know what to say about him."

Zhang Chun said cautiously again: "It's not that my grandfather has always hated Fan Ning deeply. In fact, the next step is to attack him. Didn't my grandfather say that his cousin was mining gold in Kunzhou last time? This can be regarded as using power for personal gain. It should be him!"

Zhang Yaozuo glanced at him, "I know this matter well, don't worry too much about it."

"The grandson knows!"

"and also!"

Zhang Yaozuo said again: "Stop fooling around with those gangsters, you are a person who does great things, you have to control yourself, understand?"

Grandson remembers! "

"Go!" Zhang Yaozuo waved his hand, and Zhang Chun slowly backed away.

Zhang Yaozuo paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back, thinking about this matter carefully.

Although he and Jia Changchao had similar positions, they were not allies. The main reason was that Jia Changchao's asking price was too high, and Zhang Yaozuo could not agree to him.

In the case of Ouyang Xiu, Zhang Yaozuo and Jia Changchao had different purposes. Zhang Yaozuo wanted to attack Zhao Zongshi's faction, and Ouyang Xiu was an important supporter of Zhao Zongshi. Therefore, Zhang Yaozuo advocated ruthless, fast and accurate, and impeached and removed Ouyang Xiu in a stormy manner.

But Jia Changchao wanted to take advantage of Ouyang Xiu's case to gain power and please Ouyang Xiu's enemies, so he wanted to keep exaggerating about this matter, completely stigmatizing Ouyang Xiu, and maximizing his own interests.

From this point of view, although the goals of the two are the same, the goals they want to achieve are slightly different, so the means they want to adopt will also be different.

However, since Fan Ning has already made a move, this matter really cannot be delayed any longer. I believe Jia Changchao also understands this.

…………

In the afternoon, Fan Ning and Zuo Sijian Li Weizhen brought several officials to Ouyang Xiu's mansion. Li Weizhen smiled and said, "Actually, this kind of thing is just a humble job. You don't have to come to the house in person."

Fan Ning smiled and said, "It's the first time to handle a case! Always have a hands-on attitude."

"That's true!"

Not long after, the steward of Ouyang Xiu's mansion rushed out, "May I ask who you are?"

Li Weizhen stepped forward and said: "We belong to the Zuo Jianyuan. Someone from your residence wrote a letter to the Jianyuan, saying that the owner of your residence was framed, so we came to verify some things!"

The housekeeper was overjoyed, this is to avenge the wrongdoing of the master, the sky finally opened his eyes, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, please wait a while, I will report to the master and madam!"

Fan Ning hurriedly said: "The submitter is Ouyang Qian, please come forward!"

"She's here, I'll report it, everyone please come in!"

Everyone walked into the front yard and waited in front of the atrium gate. The butler had already rushed away.

Not long after, the sickly Ouyang Xiu came out from behind with the support of his daughter Ouyang Qian, followed by a young man, probably a nephew or something.

Seeing Fan Ning, Ouyang Qian's pretty eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly lowered her head to hide her inner excitement.

Ouyang Xiu didn't expect that Fan Ning was the person who came from the Zuojian Academy, he was also very excited, and he shouted from afar, "Nephew Fan Xian, are you safe here?"

Fan Ning smiled wryly in his heart, how could this old man call himself a good nephew?Isn't this putting yourself on the fire?

He gave Li Weizhen a wink, Li Weizhen understood, stepped forward to salute and said: "Fan Zhiyuan is our new Zuo Jianyi doctor, and it is the first time to handle a case today, please cooperate with Bachelor Ouyang!"

Ouyang Xiu was taken aback immediately, Fan Ning was actually promoted to Doctor Zuo Jianyi, he seemed to know Zuo Jianyuan, this kid is amazing!

He also immediately realized that now is not the time to reminisce about the old days, and he also hurriedly said: "Welcome Fan Zhiyuan, welcome Li Jiansi, I will fully cooperate with Zuo Jianyuan in handling the case."

Fan Ning smiled slightly and said, "Senior Ouyang, don't be nervous. The Zuo Jianyuan received Ouyang Qian's letter to avenge the grievance of the senior. According to the procedure, we must come to verify."

He said to Ouyang Qian again: "You are Miss Ouyang Qian!"

Ouyang Qian's pretty face blushed slightly, she gave a blessing, and said in a low voice: "The girl is right!"

Fan Ning took out the submission letter, "This is the submission letter!"

"Exactly! I applied to the Drum Academy before, but there was no reply. Someone told me that I can re-apply to the Inspection Academy. I hope I haven't violated the rules."

"Of course there is no violation!"

Fan Ning smiled and said to Ouyang Xiu: "Senior Ouyang should also know the regulations of the Court of Remonstrance. We first need to verify the situation of the applicants. If we find any doubts, we can formally file the case."

In fact, Fan Ning has already filed the case in order to rush to file the case before the Right Admonition Court. Now it is not only a procedure before filing the case, but also a direct investigation.

Ouyang Xiu nodded, "I know!"

Fan Ning winked at Li Weizhen, and Li Weizhen stepped forward and asked Ouyang Qian, "Are you planning to revoke this letter?"

Ouyang Qian shook her head, "I won't undo it!"

"If we find out that the content of your submission is false after we file a case, you need to take responsibility. You can understand this."

Ouyang Qian took a quick look at Fan Ning, seeing Fan Ning's eyes full of encouragement, her heart warmed up, and she said resolutely, "I am willing to take responsibility!"

Li Weizhen nodded, "Then I will inform you now that Zuo Jianyuan has decided to formally file a case regarding the situation of your submission of a letter, and I hope you will cooperate with our investigation."

Ouyang Qian said without hesitation: "I am willing to cooperate!"

Ouyang Xiu hurriedly said: "Then please sit in the living room for a while!"

Fan Ning shook his head, "Senior Ouyang, let's go to rest first! We will ask you some questions later. Now we are going to check around the mansion. Please arrange someone to guide us. We are also going to the inner house. It is best to inform the family members to avoid it."

"Okay!" You can check it at will.

After Ouyang Xiu gave an order, the housekeeper immediately ran to the inner house to inform.

Fan Ning said to Ouyang Qian: "You accompany father, you don't need to accompany us to investigate."

Ouyang Qian nodded silently, turned her head and said to the young man, "Third brother, take them there!"

Ouyang Qian took a deep look at Fan Ning, and helped her father back to the inner hall.

The young man was Ouyang Mingyuan, nephew of Ouyang Xiu, he stepped forward to salute, "I will accompany you into the inner house!"
