Chapter 369: People are not sages, everyone is wrong
The heavy taxes in foreign trade involve Japan, and it is really hard to explain if you want to explain them.
If you want to make it clear, you will be a sensible person. If you are vague, it will be just a heavy tax on maritime business courses. If you have any mistakes on the left and right, you will naturally choose the light one.
The six cabinet ministries completely opposed the increase in gold, flowers and silver. The inner court had ambiguous attitudes and there were no clear regulations. The Tian family court was doing official business. Since there was no clear statement, there would be no corresponding procedures. The Ministry of Revenue and the Sili Supervisor would naturally not sign the deputy.
Since there are no official procedures, it is naturally unruly and no one supervises it, so it is possible to collude and embezzle... "My sirs, the heavy taxes of those goods are paid by merchants on their own initiative. This explanation is understandable?" Wang Tong did not hesitate and asked with a smile.
The movements of the people in the room had stopped. They all looked at Wang Tong together. Everyone was quite surprised. How could he still laugh when he reached this point? Guo Pingguang looked at Wang Tong a few times and smiled. His tone was quite sarcastic when he spoke, and said:
"Wang Qianhu, you are levying heavy taxes and shave three feet of the ground. What the capital says about you is indeed true. How much profit can these goods be made by trafficking from the west to the east? Tianjin will collect several times the value of the goods at once, and let the people live. Your cruel behavior will be severely punished... Wang Tong waved his hand there and said, "The gold and silver sent to the palace is tacit. Eunuch Shen from the Imperial Horse Supervision, you should know what's going on!" Shen Ce, who was sitting next to him, sneered, shook his head and said with a sharp voice:
"Our family is the chief officer of Wuxiang Right Guard. I also know some things about the various parts of the Imperial Horse Supervision. Whether Wang Qianhu and the storage chief officer have colluded and embezzled, I am afraid that the chief officer will ask the chief officer to search and investigate."
Wang Tong smiled and shook his head. The Jinyiwei Qianhu Ge Li on the opposite side thought that Wang Tong's face would change at least, and even beg for mercy in fear, but Wang Tong was so calm.
Ge Li has also handled many cases in the capital. According to his experience, he just said that these two charges were enough to be punished and even beheaded and killed. Why did Wang Tong still look indifferent? This made him extremely angry. He slapped the table heavily and stood up and shouted: "Wang Tong, the evidence is as good as a mountain. Don't think that you can do it in the official office. If you want everyone to have some affection, just keep your hands honestly..." "Ge Li, have you forgotten your name - the Qinguan beaten? Where is there a place where you speak, sit down honestly!!"
Before Ge Qianhu could finish his majesty, Wang Tong shouted there. Ge Qianhu was so scared that he shivered all over. He sat down subconsciously. He stood up with shame and anger. He just put his hand on the knife. His footsteps outside were ringing, and dozens of people had rushed into the room. The soldiers held weapons and stared at Ge Qianhu there with fierce eyes.
"Wang Tong, don't think that you can do whatever you want after you have privately stored some troops. The two battalions of the general Sun of Tianjin are close to each other, not to mention that General Qi has received more than 100,000 US dollars in gifts to the soldiers. Since you know that your family is illegal, just confess honestly and ask for mercy and mercy. Will this kind of resistance really affect the whole family to pieces?!"
Seeing the Jinyi Guards rushed in, the four of them trembled, but Guo Pingguang, the doctor of the Fangsi Department of the Ministry of War, was still a little brave. He reacted and stood up and shouted. "Go to strike, go out, I want to touch the four of them, and each one will take care of them all with one knife. What do you want to do? Just protect them outside!"
Wang Tong was also quite impatient to drive away the beard. The soldiers bent down and bowed and retreated. Only then did the people in the room relax. Wang Tong stood up and frowned and said, "Several adults insisted on admitting that these two things were serious crimes. They should be investigated in detail as major cases, right?"
The people who were a little more aware of this were quite strange at this time. Wang Tong never had any intention of justifying these two big mistakes, but he looked like Hu Lanman Chan forced himself to give in.
Hearing Wang Tong's question, the four of them sneered and nodded. Wang Tong sighed, walked forward a few steps, glanced at the faces of the four of them twice, and said, "Let's ask Lord Guo to go next door first and have a private chat with Wang."
The four of them looked at each other a few times, and they were all questioning, but they all smiled on their faces. Wang Tong had so many places to make money. Since he had to talk to each other in private, would he have to bribe privately? It is not necessarily possible to get the case done, but it is natural to take this advantage first. Guo Pingguang's face quickly returned to normal. He dusted his robe and said with a sneer: "I am so upright. Are you still afraid that you will not succeed? What tricks do you have to play when you see Wang Qianhu?
I thought Wang Tong had entered the next room, so I turned around and knelt down, crying and begging. Guo Pingguang had seen a lot of such scenes.
Before entering the door, Guo Pingguang was already thinking about how much money the other party would give and how he would increase the price. Unexpectedly, after entering the door, the guards outside closed the door, but Wang Tong walked to the desk in the house and sat down.
The room was empty, with only one desk and a chair. There was a wooden box on the desk. After Wang Tong entered the house, he sat down with a big golden knife and opened the lock of the wooden box there.
The current scene doesn't look like a crying cry. Wang Tong sat down at home, just like Wang Tong was interviewing the case.
Guo Pingguang only felt that the blue veins on his forehead were leaping straight. Things have reached this point. You, Wang Tong, are irrefutable about the questioning, and you are still so rampant. Then wait and see, tomorrow and the next day, you will be ungrateful.
Guo Pingguang, the doctor of the Ministry of War, snorted coldly and was about to leave. Wang Tong found the thing he was looking for, took out a document from the wooden box, and smiled and said, "Mr. Guo stayed-!" "I have nothing to say to you. Wang Dao, today I checked money. You have not touched the matter of privately setting up troops and horses. You have set up soldiers and trained armored soldiers. At that time, you will be convicted of your crime of plotting rebellion... Wang Tong ignored him and just opened the document there. Guo Pingguang turned around and was about to leave. When he walked to the door, he heard Wang Tong speak behind him, "Guo Pingguang, you have a servant named Han Er. It is said that he is handsome and wants to wear girls' clothes, and he can't even tell him." Speaking of this name, Guo Pingguang shook his body and stopped immediately, with a look of horror on his face. Wang Tong ignored him and looked at the document on the lights and said:
"I died of sudden illness in your house a year and a half ago. I heard that Mr. Guo was heartbroken!"
It is said that, but it is never a secret that the scholars in the capital like male style, and they are even regarded as elegance. Guo Pingguangqiang covered up the horror on his face and pretended to be calm and asked back, "What's the matter with Lord Wang?" Before he knew it, the title had been changed to "女" Wang Tong continued:
"It's not about my official affairs, but the coroner who conducted the autopsy took you five hundred taels. Han Er's widow sister got five hundred taels. She concealed that Han Er took the tiger and wolf medicine and was tortured to death by you. This matter must be known to the Ministry of War. What will happen to Lord Guo in the future?"
"Even if there are all kinds of strange things, the government will not investigate it carefully, let alone the real-powered official of the Ministry of War. However, after this incident was in the open, it was a murder case like this. What's the future for Guo Pingguang? Wait until his reputation is ruined and he will be punished and imprisoned.
People in the officialdom, especially those who are so old, Cheng Yuanda, have no more disaster than losing their official position. Guo Pingguang was sweating profusely when he heard it there. Wang Tong put the paper on the table and said:
"Guo Pingguang, someone in the capital is waiting for the results of your investigation. Will you release the news, or encourage the victim to beat the drum, or keep silent? It depends on your own intention?" Guo Pingguang turned around, no longer caring about wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, looking at Wang Tong, who was sitting there with a smile on his face, closed his eyes for a while, squeezed out a smile when he opened his eyes, and said:
"Mr. Wang's work in Tianjin Macao is a move of loyalty to the emperor and benefiting the country. Although the Huwei Army has not been in the Ministry of War, it can guard the Tianjin area. Jizhen is not enough. This is also a move of power and would rather bear personal crimes for the country. How noble is this? After returning to Beijing, Guo must report to the top and report to the emperor to make up for the military system. As for what he said just now, it is just a few laughs. Don't take it to heart." Wang Tong leaned on the back of the chair and said calmly: "Put his words and observe his actions. What Mr. Guo does, how Mr. Wang does it. In the final analysis, he still has to look at Lord Guo's side." Guo Pingguang nodded repeatedly, repeatedly claimed that he was. Wang Tong waved his hand and said, "You go out first and let Qiu Yanhai come in." Guo Pingguang quickly lowered his hands and agreed, looking like a case investigation, clearly a bad person.
"Mr. Qiu, when you were in charge of the Guangxi Department of the Ministry of Revenue, you colluded with the heads of the Huangzhuang Zhuangtou and the Imperial Horse Supervisor to swallow 400,000 taels of silver collected from Taicang and the inner treasury by changing the account pages and modifying the numbers. You got 60,000 taels. The certificate was still in the hands of the Huangzhuang Zhuangtou. You sent someone to silence the silence, but you didn't find anyone. Lord. Qiu, this certificate is in the hands of this official. If this certificate is the case, what will the consequences be if the case is sent to the yamen?"... Please help from Lord. "Your life is your own. How to do this investigation?
You know!?" "Mr. Wang is loyal to the country, but this is like Hai Zhongyi was slandered by the capital. After Qiu returned to Beijing, he would still have to seek innocence for the adults even if he was willing to live a life. "Eunuch Shen, you entered the palace in the second year of Longqing. You owed 200 taels of gambling debt outside the palace, right?" The third person called into the house was Shen Cun, the chief officer of Wuxiang Right Guard of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. When he heard Wang Tong's words, Shen Cun immediately sneered: "Wang Tong, do you take a scare to our family as a scare to the child? In the first year of Wanli, our family paid back the creditor's total of 600 taels!"
