Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 473 Don't Shame

Zhang Fei had been hesitant before, so many things could only be arranged secretly, and he couldn't reveal that he was really going to the northwest, because it was actually very sensitive, and it was best not to say it before he had decided.

But now that this matter has been finalized, Zhang Fei has also started to deal with the personnel arrangements for this transaction.

But fortunately, he had already started to delegate power before him. The office has always been managed by Fan Li, and the genuine bookstore has always been managed by Hou Donglai.

Zhang Fei's request to them is very simple, that is, to follow their own ideas.

Because he knew these two people very well, they were very conservative businessmen, and they would rather earn less than take a little risk.

Now that Zhang Fei is going to Hezhong Mansion, will he still follow Zhang Fei's route?

Zhang Fei thinks that their ideas have not changed because of him, so what he does is not suitable for the two of them, and they should be the main ones.

He is now mainly busy dealing with many contractual issues, especially those of charitable foundations.

"Waiyuan, you send someone to send this contract to Fan Da, let him have a look first, and I will discuss it with him personally."

"Okay, I'll send someone there right away."

Just as Fan Li walked to the door, he suddenly saw a middle-aged man with a burly figure and an imposing appearance walking in, "Superintendent Cao?"

Zhang Fei turned his head to look, also surprised: "Chief superintendent?"

Cao Ping ignored Fan Li, looked directly at Zhang Fei, and said with a half-smile: "I didn't expect you to be so surprised by my arrival?"

Zhang Fei was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I heard from the yamen that the Chief Superintendent has been ill recently, but today I saw that the Chief Superintendent is full of energy, full of energy, and has strong steps, not like he has been ill for a long time. "

Cao Ping immediately blushed, coughed, and said vaguely: "It was healed not long ago."

In an instant, there was no momentum.

"That's it! That's good! That's good!" Zhang Fei nodded again and again, and then stretched out his hand to signal: "The chief superintendent please."

By the way, he gave Fan Li a wink and told him to go.

Then he invited Cao Ping to the private room.

Sitting in the private room, Cao Ping looked directly at Zhang Fei without saying a word.

There was no sound in the private room.

Zhang Fei was uncomfortable being stared at by him, a little bit impatient, and simply said: "That's right, I was the one who suggested that the government send Ya Nei to Hezhong Mansion."

I can't hide this sincerity, let the emperor or Sima Guang decide, it is impossible to send Cao Dongdong.

Cao Ping remained silent.

Zhang Fei's eyes fluttered a few times, and he said again: "Chief Superintendent, your Cao family is a generation of heroes, loyal to the emperor and serving the country. The enemies you face are not good, but you have never seen cowards. The Chief Superintendent protects the yamen like this. , not like the style of the Cao family."

Cao Ping said slowly: "I am very clear about Dong'er's character. He can't handle the affairs of the Hezhong Mansion at all. Why did you choose him?"

Zhang Fei was startled, and then he understood the purpose of Cao Ping's coming here, and asked, "I don't know what the Chief Superintendent thinks?"

Cao Ping sneered: "It's nothing more than two points. First, I want to use the name of my Cao family to intimidate me. Second, Dong'er is simple-minded, so I can easily be controlled by you."

Zhang Fei wondered: "The yamen is pure in nature?"

Cao Ping stared: "I mean in the officialdom, but I don't mean. Keke, he is not the opponent of those people at all."

Zhang Fei couldn't help asking: "Who is it?"

Cao Ping asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Fei said: "It's not that the imperial court has never sent people to govern. Those officials are all experienced and capable, but they also treat the symptoms rather than the root cause. Maybe there is nothing wrong with being simple. The more scruples you have to enforce the law in that place Too much, the more restrained you are, the more you lose, the more simple you are, the more people will respect you."

Who is going to fight with a fool!

Cao Ping frowned slightly.

Zhang Fei continued: "I have no intention of looking down on the Cao family, but if the Cao family can be deterred, then the problem of the Hezhong Mansion is not a problem. I suggest that Ya Nei go with me. First of all, of course, because I and Ya Nei The relationship is good, there is a certain tacit understanding.

Secondly, it is because of the ability of Ya Nei. "

Cao Ping asked, "What ability?"

He really didn't realize that Cao Dongdong's ability is worthy of recognition, just those few fists and legs?

What's the use of that?

Zhang Fei said: "The ability to lead."

"lead?"

Cao Ping was immediately dumbfounded, are you talking about my son?

How come I don't know!

"Not bad!"

Zhang Fei nodded, "Could it be that the chief superintendent didn't notice that those royal policemen obeyed the orders of the yamen very much, which is very rare."

Cao Ping pondered for a while, and said: "Dong'er has loved to make friends since he was a child, and he can chat with anyone. This is not leadership."

Zhang Fei said: "I only believe in the results I have seen. Ya Nei is still quite respected in the police station. I think this has something to do with Ya Nei's involvement in the three Ya Nei since he was a child. He actually knows the way of training soldiers very well, but maybe he didn't realize it himself. .”

At the beginning, Cao Dongdong was in charge of training the auxiliary police. Cao Ping had always pretended to be sick at home, but he was very successful. Cao Dongdong also planted a lot of traitors in the tax department. It was at that time that Zhang Fei discovered Cao Dongdong’s ability. The ability to buy people's hearts is really powerful.

Cao Ping didn't bother to argue with him, and asked, "Only because of this?"

Zhang Fei said: "The main point is this, and there is also the courage and fearlessness. If I don't have the courage, I can't go. If I want a superintendent who is completely obedient to go with me, it is not difficult, and I will definitely not choose Ya Nei."

Judge Cao looked at Zhang Fei, and his expression softened a little. He came here mainly to see why Zhang Fei chose Cao Dongdong. He was worried that Zhang Fei asked Cao Dongdong to take the blame for him.Yan said: "You just valued Dong'er's military training ability, that is to say, don't you plan to drop the Royal Police from here?"

Zhang Fei asked, "What does the Chief Superintendent think I should do?"

Cao commented: "If I knew, I would go by myself."

Zhang Fei said: "I plan to recruit people over there."

"Why?"

Cao Ping asked: "If you recruit people locally, you will also be subject to them."

Zhang Fei said: "I've inquired about the situation in the Hezhong Mansion. The officials in the mansion represent the local power, and their families have been prosperous in the local area for a long time, so that later, the local officials are extremely dependent on them."

Cao Ping nodded.

Zhang Fei changed the subject: "But I believe they cannot represent the local forces, because they earn more and others earn less. In addition, if I drop the Royal Police from the capital, it will instead arouse the local forces to form a group keep warm."

If you bring a group of people there, they will think that you are trying to occupy the magpie's nest, and they really want to make an enemy of the entire Hezhong Mansion.

"Use barbarians to control barbarians."

Cao Ping nodded with a smile, and said again: "But it's not a change of medicine. Even if your strategy is successful, the police station will become very dependent on these royal policemen in the end."

Zhang Fei said: "But I don't want them to replace those officials, but to destroy the previous administration of officials. As far as human nature is concerned, inequality is not a concern for scarcity. I believe they will be willing to destroy it."

Cao Ping did not show his expression, and suddenly changed the subject: "I heard that the case of Zhong Er and Lu Shen will also be handed over to you for trial?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Cao commented: "Want to hear my suggestion?"

Zhang Fei hastened to say: "The junior is all ears."

Cao commented: "The ancestors of my Cao family all made great military exploits, but almost all of them were demoted because they didn't obey orders. Get over it, and even if you're more of a dick, you'll have to convict him, or else his troubles will keep on coming and going forever."

Zhang Fei frowned and pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry! I can't do this, and I will judge based on the facts. To tell you the truth, the purpose of my trip is to solve the sloppy things that the chief superintendent said. Usually, because this is unreasonable, those who are good at military power should be punished, but the premise is that he really has good military power.”

"I'm just giving a suggestion, it's up to you to listen or not."

Cao Ping stood up suddenly, "I'm going first."

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, then got up and said, "I'll see the Chief Superintendent."

"Need not!"

Cao Ping raised his hand and stopped him, but when he walked to the door and was about to open it, he stopped again, turned around and said to Zhang Fei: "There are two reasons why I don't agree with Dong'er going. I am worried that he will be used by you; second, I don't think he has the ability to take on this important task, not to be a coward.

My son from the Cao family was born and died for Song Dynasty, but he has never been afraid.At this time, I still think so, but unfortunately I can't stop Dong'er from going. Since you suggested him to go, you'd better ensure that he can successfully complete the task. Our Cao family is very unaccustomed to failure. "

With that said, he opened the door and walked out.

Zhang Fei muttered to himself: "I seem to be used to it."

In fact, whether it is Cao Ping or the Queen Mother Cao, they always put the reputation of the Cao family first, not the safety of Cao Dongdong. After all, the reputation of their Cao family really belongs to them The ancestors paid for it with their lives.

Letting Cao Dongdong go is obviously embarrassing the Cao family!

But he couldn't decide on this matter, and he immediately changed his mind. He wanted to fully support Zhang Fei. He came here today to advise Zhang Fei not to transfer the Royal Police from the capital. Unexpectedly, Zhang Fei had already thought of this, and he had some ideas. Very well prepared.

At the same time, Cao Ping believed that Cao Dongdong had gone, and he had to ask for something in return. He hoped that the general would be treated fairly.

For such a situation, these generals and aristocratic families were very upset, but they didn't dare to say it.

After all, this involves the law of the ancestors.

Their Cao family produced many famous generals, but they were all demoted because of this kind of thing, almost without exception. This was an unavoidable hurdle for generals in the Song Dynasty. If you want to win a battle, you must not listen to the blind orders of the court.

You decide whether to fight or not to fight, but how to fight, you still intervene, which is very outrageous.

Therefore, after learning that Zhang Fei was also going for this, he didn't say much.
