Chapter 428 Tax War (2)

Chapter 428 Tax War ([-])

The tax policemen had just left with Qin Biao, when a car escorted by more than ten people came to Qin's Village.

I saw an old man getting off the carriage, it was Nawei Yushan.

"What about people?"

Wei Yushan looked around.

A clever domestic servant immediately ran to ask the villagers who were gathering together to gossip.

After a while, the servant came to Wei Yushan and told Wei Yushan what he had just learned from the villagers.

Wei Yushan slapped his chest straight when he heard it, "Fortunately! Fortunately I didn't commit this foolishness this time, otherwise...!"

Speaking of this, he laughed and said: "The Qin family deserves it! It's not good to mess with anyone, go mess with Zhang San. Haha!"

This old man is very small-minded. He has paid the full amount of taxes, but he also knows that many people have not paid, and he is unbalanced.

At this moment, he felt very happy.

The actions of the tax police last night are destined to leave a mess in the early morning of this morning.

The first to suffer was Emperor Zhao Xu.

At this time, the genius in the east had just turned around, and his belly was white, but Zhao Xu was already sitting in the Chuigong Hall, watching all the admonishers and censors spouting wildly at one person.

And this person is Li He, the chief tax officer.

The reason is that when they heard the news, the Taxation Department directly used a siege device to break open the gate of Qinzhuang.

This has never happened before.

Even if it is a government servant who committed a capital crime and went to the people's house, he would knock on the door and enter.

When the ministers heard the news, they were all terrified, even Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others were frightened.

They had guessed in advance that the tax secretary was definitely not a kind person, but they didn't expect that the tax secretary would be so ruthless.

Hearing the news, he rushed to the imperial city immediately. As expected, those admonishing officials and censors directly quarreled with Zhao Xu. Among the ministers, except for Wang Anshi who did not express his position, the rest of the political advisers also accused this behavior.

You are so violent.

On the other hand, Li He kept silent about this, did not make any arguments, and let them bombard them indiscriminately.

After a while, when the admonishers and censors were out of breath, Zhao Xu found a chance to interject, "Siwu Li, what's your explanation for this?"

Only then did Li He speak, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Taxation Department has made full preparations for what happened last night, because we learned that the Qin Family Village has many servants and has many weapons. The policeman was injured, so we decided to use a surprise attack, and at that time Qin Biao also came out with a big knife in his hand.

Of course, since we took a surprise attack, Qin Biao's behavior was not too much. We didn't hurt anyone in Qinjiazhuang. We even invited Qin Biao out of Qinjiazhuang without even touching them. "

Censor Fan Yu scolded angrily: "It's nonsense, I heard that you shot arrows at Qin Biao last night."

Li He explained: "That's because Qin Biao wanted to escape at that time, so we gave the warning. Those tax policemen absolutely abide by the rules of the taxation department. First, make sure that the tax police will not be threatened by any means. Second, try to ensure that there are no conflicts. No one was harmed, the operation last night was very successful, no one was harmed in any way."

Seeing Li He, Sima Guang was still confident, and couldn't help asking: "Can your tax department stipulate that people's property can be easily destroyed?"

Li He said: "Our tax department stipulates that all damages caused to people's property during the operation will be compensated. The gate damaged last night has been repaired today."

Sima Guang was taken aback immediately, has it been repaired?

Where did your tax department come from? I don’t know the efficiency of my Dasong government office?

Wen Yanbo said: "Is this a door problem? If you break into a house with bows, arrows and big knives, if you scare people to death, can you afford it?"

Li He replied expressionlessly: "That's why we kept reminding the people before that they must declare truthfully. If there is any problem, they should report to the tax department in time, so as to avoid this kind of situation. Once they are randomly checked, the consequences will be serious." conceited."

"Bastard!"

Peng Siyan jumped out and said, "How dare you talk to Duke Wen like that?"

Li He said: "I just reported the truth."

Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang, and Fu Bi were slightly startled. They had all inquired about this Li He. He was a non-existent official in the Sanbu Gouyuan. It was not easy to see him today!

Zhao Xu suddenly said: "Everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient. Since everyone insists on their own opinions, it is better to leave it to the judiciary. If the other party thinks that the tax department is at fault, they can also sue the tax department."

In this matter, he can't favor the tax department in the slightest, because now the tax department is going to be the enemy of the powerful, and the powerful also know what's going on behind the tax department. Once Zhao Xu favors the tax department, the ministers will immediately Come to him.

His suggestion is that you go to the tax department, I have no objection.

The imperial court and the procuratorate were all made by Sima Guang, and the officials there are not my confidantes.

To this, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo could only agree.

The tax department of the family has repeatedly emphasized that the report must be truthful, otherwise the consequences will be at your own risk, and it is true that no one was hurt last night, and even the door was repaired.

Violence is very violent, but it sounds like it's polite.

In the end, it is left to the judiciary to determine, and there is nothing wrong with it.

But the admonishers and censors are a little upset, and everything is left to the judiciary, so... then, will our impeachment still work?

However, this happened both as expected and unexpectedly, and they couldn't figure out the relationship for a while.

Wen Yanbo couldn't help frowning, "Although I expected the tax department to take action, I didn't expect them to be so ruthless. Such behavior cannot be encouraged."

Lu Gong nodded and said: "Wen Gong is right, it is a private house after all, not a robber's den, how can you be so reckless."

Wang Anshi hehe said: "Sima Junshi, now it's up to you."

Sima Guang said excitedly: "Don't you just gloat here, it's all because of you."

Wang Anshi immediately said: "Junshi, you have to be reasonable. I made the recruitment law, that's right. But I don't agree with it. You think it will corrupt the government and increase the burden on the people. I just handed it over to the police station, and now blame me?"

Han Jiang also said: "The tax department is not under the control of Sinong Temple. You should be very clear about this."

Seeing Han Jiang speak, Sima Guang remained silent.

indeed!

They were also devastated by this matter.

This is what everyone has seen with their own eyes. Not long ago, Han Jiang was so angry.

Fu Bi suddenly said: "I really don't understand why everyone is so worried. Is it unwise to hand it over to the judiciary?"

Cao Mansion!

"You son of a bitch, hurry up and kneel down. Cough cough cough!"

Cao Ping looked as if he was dying of illness, just after a few words of reprimand, he coughed violently.

"Brother Cao, you have to pay attention to your body."

Ma Shuai Wang Chao next to him said hastily.

But the people around Wang Chao were indifferent and just looked at Cao Ping coldly.

play!

You keep playing!

You traitor among the rich and powerful.

These few people are all relatives, dignitaries, including the Fu family.

They also made a false report, and the movement of the tax department also frightened them, and the head of the police station is the Cao family and his son. They rushed to Cao's house immediately to question the teacher.

Everyone's ass is not clean.

"Daddy! What did the child do?"

Cao Dongdong said with an innocent face.

"Kneel down! Cough cough cough!"

Cao Ping stomped his feet violently and coughed violently again.

Cao Dongdong knelt down and looked at Wang Chao aggrievedly, "Uncle Wang, you have to make decisions for your nephew!"

Wang Chao was both angry and funny, and said, "Dong'er, don't be a good boy here, but you ordered someone to go to Qin's Village in Baima Township to arrest Qin Biao yesterday."

Cao Dongdong blinked and shook his head: "My child did not give this order."

A person next to him immediately said: "You are still pretending to be stupid, if there is no order from you, how dare the Royal Police act without authorization."

"I really don't."

Cao Dongdong also became excited, "I really didn't do it."

When Wang Chao saw it, he said, "Aside from you, who else in the police station can make the decision?"

Cao Dongdong thought for a while, and said: "This kind of thing must be approved by my nephew. Uncles, are you making a mistake?"

"This matter has already been brought to His Majesty. There can be falsehoods. Last night, a team of royal tax police used siege equipment to break down the gate of Qin's house and arrested Qin Biao to the tax department."

"That's the Royal Tax Police, it has nothing to do with my nephew." Cao Dongdong said immediately.

Wang Chao wondered, "Isn't the royal tax police under your control?"

"Yup!"

Cao Dongdong said: "At the beginning, the imperial court did not issue an order. Our police station was only responsible for training tax police and court police. A few days ago, my nephew sent [-] tax police to the tax department. Those tax police are no longer under my nephew's control. Otherwise, the tax department and the imperial court will have to listen to our police station."

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Cao Ping frowned and said, "Dong'er, tell me the truth, did you participate?"

"The child really didn't participate."

Cao Dongdong was so wronged that he was about to cry, and he said in disbelief: "They tax police can still use siege equipment? This is really unfair, even our royal police can't use it."

Cao Ping glared at his son, then looked at Wang Chao and the others, "Everyone, could you have made a mistake?"

"I am sorry!"

Wang Chao hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Maybe. Maybe we made a mistake."

It's already noisy outside, but the Zhang family is still harmonious and peaceful.

". Sorrow is real, tears are fake, there is no cause and effect in the first place, and 100 years later, without you, and without me!"

Zhang Fei still slept until he woke up naturally, hugged his wife, hummed a little song, and walked slowly to the front yard.

What a spring breeze.

"Where did you hear this ditty?"

Xu Zhiqian couldn't help asking.

Zhang Fei said: "Of course I created it myself. In the whole world, besides me, who else can write such a bad word."

Xu Zhiqian chuckled: "That's true, your writing is really not even comparable to the slang in the market."

Zhang Fei said arrogantly: "It's like my article, although it's bad, it's still likable."

Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes, "That's not true."

When they came to the front yard, Xu Zhiqian found that Mu Zhen was eating breakfast alone, so she couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, where are dad and elder brother?"

Mu Zhen said: "Someone came from the yamen just now, it seems that something serious happened, Dad left in a hurry, and your brother also went with him."

After Xu Zhiqian heard this, she immediately looked at Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "I don't know." Then he muttered again: "Maybe the tax department has taken action."

It happened that Gao Wenyin came in with breakfast.

Zhang Fei said again: "Madam, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to the new house today."

Gao Wenyin hurriedly said: "If you don't have an appointment, then don't go, you can't help much."

".?"

After breakfast, Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian immediately went out to Lushi Lane.

While on the road, just listening to the gossip of people outside the car, the husband and wife both figured out what happened last night.

Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei in shock.

Zhang Fei explained: "I really don't know when they will do it."

He only knew that he was going to do it, but he didn't know exactly when, and he didn't understand these things. These things had to be done by professionals.

"No, siege equipment?"

Xu Zhiqian was dumbfounded.

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "If you don't want to hurt people, then you have to let people know that this is a very dangerous thing, try to do it as little as possible."

Xu Zhiqian worried: "But if the tax department has such power, then!"

Zhang Fei nodded, "If there were no imperial court, procuratorate, and police station, the tax department would never be given such power, but it is different now, the tax department must also be held accountable for its own actions."

Speaking of this, he sighed, "You also know what the situation is with my taxation. If this method is not used, then no matter how Wang Xueshi reforms, ordinary people will still bear all this in the end, but the problem is, They can't afford it either."

Xu Zhiqian nodded, and asked again: "Then daddy!"

Zhang Fei said hehe: "Father-in-law should enjoy the moment very much."

Xu Zhiqian immediately gave Zhang Fei a shining white eye.

Zhang Fei said, "Don't be like this, maybe you will enjoy it too." I added in my heart, aren't you and your father a virtuous person?

Xu Zhiqian said: "How do you say that?"

Zhang Fei said: "Perhaps our husband and wife are going to come out of the rivers and lakes again."

At this time, Lushi Lane was also extremely lively. I saw Li Guozhong, Fei Ming, Fan Li and others standing in front of the Bianjing Law Firm and chatting.

"Sanlang, do you know what happened last night?" Li Guozhong asked anxiously.

Zhang Fei said: "I just heard on the way here that the tax department sealed off the Qin family in Baima Township last night."

"It's really ruthless!" Fan Li said fearfully.

Zhang Fei asked, "Did you not pay taxes?"

Fan Li was so frightened that he jumped on the spot: "Don't talk nonsense, I have a lot of money."

Zhang Fei looked at Li Guozhong and the others again.

Li Guozhong hurriedly said: "We have all paid, we are tea eaters, how could we make such a mistake, don't we die."

Fei Ming also nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Fei shrugged and said, "That's nothing to be afraid of."

Li Guozhong glanced at Fei Ming suddenly, and Fei Ming immediately said: "According to the decree issued by the imperial court, the taxation department has no right to judge the Qin family. Should it be handed over to the procuratorate, and the procuratorate will file a lawsuit with the imperial court?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Fei Ming asked again: "Since this is the case, the Qin family may file a lawsuit, so if the Qin family asks us to file a lawsuit!"

Zhang Fei hehe said: "I just thought of this, this time we can make money."

Li Guozhong hurriedly said: "No way, no way, the tax department is so ruthless, we can't afford to offend them!"

Zhang Fei said unhappily: "What are you offending? Li Xingshou, what are you thinking? According to what you say, the imperial court can offend? The Kaifeng government can offend? Then let's go to court or not? If they lose the lawsuit and don’t break the law, as long as they can afford the money, why don’t they accept it.”

Fei Ming nodded: "Sanlang's words are also reasonable!"

At this moment, Li Lei ran over and whispered something in Li Guozhong's ear.

Li Guozhong nodded, and said to Zhang Fei: "Sanlang, I have something to do with the shop, so I will take my leave first."

After they left, Fan Li immediately said: "Sanlang, they just talked about you again."

Zhang Fei said: "I know, but my answer is actually not important, because they will definitely take this lawsuit, and whoever wants to take this lawsuit, the powerful and powerful will support it, there is nothing to be afraid of."

Fan Li asked again: "If they find us, shall we take it?"

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "There is a business coming, why don't you accept it?"

Xu Zhiqian frowned slightly, and when she entered the back hall, she whispered: "You want to help the Qin family with a lawsuit?"

Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "They probably won't come to me. After all, they regard me as an enemy now. Maybe we will help the tax department in this first lawsuit."

Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "What are you doing for the tax department? Didn't they sue through the procuratorate?"

Zhang Fei said: "Legalize violence."
