Chapter 239: Trapped in a cocoon(1/2)
So dizzy!
In this extreme pull, if one person gets dizzy, it is really worth a thousand pieces of gold!
It may not be enough to turn the tide of the battle, but it may protect your teammates from retreating and gain valuable defensive opportunities.
At the moment when Lu Gongzhu took the photo, many officials present felt a sense of relief!
Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others looked at them helplessly, and then left Kaifeng Mansion in a low-key manner.
This matter was out of their control. If such a strange thing happened, if the emperor wanted to investigate, who would dare to stop it.
It can be said that this situation is already developing in an unpredictable direction.
This is really a cocoon.
All the judges in Kaifeng Prefecture all thought of Alexander!
It was past noon, but they didn't feel hungry. They sat in the hall and looked at each other.
"Prefect Lu, this matter is not our responsibility, just report it to us."
Li Kai said to Lu Gong anxiously.
Cen Yuanli, Yu Zaishen and other judges also nodded.
Of course they were referring to the matter of seizing the court's account books, which was a really big deal.
The real tax money from two years ago actually matched the account books from a few years ago.
This is really a mess.
In fact, the falsification of the account books is only secondary. The key lies in the tax money.
To the imperial court, tax money was real money.
Therefore, the imperial court has always attached great importance to this. The whole process is supervised by multiple parties. After the tax is collected every year, the tax stamp must be destroyed immediately. As a result, people easily come up with so many real tax bills.
What a blow this will have to the tax law.
The tax law is the foundation of a country.
Lu Gong wrote: "Of course I will report this matter to the officials, who will decide the details, but in this case, if Zhang San raises questions, we have the responsibility to investigate the matter."
Li Kai, Cen Yuanli and the others looked at each other.
There are a hundred more behind this, can you not question it?
How could Zhang San be so merciful and let them go?
Open your mouth and you'll get half a million dollars.
Du Shaojing originally thought that if he pleaded guilty, he would be fined a small amount of money.
The result is 100 million points.
As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three holes.
Now I really don’t know which direction the situation will develop.
Anything can happen.
Shen Mansion.
As soon as he entered the house, Shen Huaixiao opened his eyes and stood up.
Cao Han gasped slightly and said, "I was just lucky that Brother Shen was so clever, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
Just now he was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.
Du Xiu was like an ant on a hot pot, spreading his hands anxiously: "The question is what should we do now? We are certainly to blame for the account book issue!"
Du Shaojing is his relative, and he also has a share in Du Shaojing's land. How can he not be anxious?
Shen Huaixiao gave him a slap in the face, "How on earth did they do things? Can't they tell the accounts from a few years ago?"
Tang Jidao: "The situation was so urgent at the time, who would have thought that the other party had already tampered with the account books. This is a trap waiting for us to exploit. It is impossible to guard against it!"
Du Xiu said in a young voice: "Don't talk about this for now, what should we do now?"...Cao Han pondered: "Now the officials have the handle in their hands, and the government is already in turmoil. If the officials make any moves, I'm afraid that
They will do the same to Wang Wenshan and ask Brother Shen to stand up to you."
After hearing this, Shen Huaixiao raised his eyes and said, "Are you asking me to risk my life?"
This crime is much more terrifying than Wang Hong's. It's either hell or Qiongzhou.
He didn't dare to resist.
Cao Han said: "Other than that, we have only one way to choose."
Shen Huaixiao asked hurriedly: "What is it?"
Cao Han said: "Solve it through litigation."
Tang Ji sighed bitterly: "What's the point of fighting? Those people may not even be able to go to court. The last one will die."
Cao Han said: "Just now in the hall, Zhang San mentioned many times that he reserved the pursuit of criminal liability. It can be seen that he himself believes that so far, this is only a civil lawsuit. Since it is a civil lawsuit, reconciliation is also a method."
Having said this, he paused for a moment and said reluctantly: "Now, we can only ask Zhang San to let us go."
Shen Huaixiao didn't hesitate and said immediately: "If he is willing, it would be okay to kneel down and beg him."
Staying alive is the key.
Bianjing Law Firm.
"Grand Bachelor Wang, why are you looking at me?"
Zhang Fei, who had just returned to the office, had not even taken a sip of tea when Wang Anshi hurried in and stared at him without saying a word.
Wang Anshi said: "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. You opened your mouth and asked for 500,000 guan. I was so scared that I broke out in a sweat."
Zhang Fei chuckled: "Now, Academician Wang should not question that the reward of 10,000 yuan is purely a friendship price."
Wang Anshi chuckled: "If you can really claim 500,000 gu from Du Shaojing, then the reward of 10,000 gu is indeed too little. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Haha."
Zhang Fei raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Since I dare to claim 500,000 yuan, I can't lose a penny."
"really?"
Wang Anshi frowned and said, "But this way, for them, it means death anyway, I'm afraid it will force them to jump over the wall."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "One hundred and eight of them should bear the five hundred thousand guan together. Evenly divided, each person is only 5,000 guan. As far as their wealth is concerned, there is no need to jump over the wall."
"That's it." Wang Anshi chuckled: "Then it's almost in line with my prediction."
But as he said that, he asked again: "But didn't you submit a basketful of claims basis to Lu Gongzhu?"
Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Do you still understand this trick of asking for a high price and paying back the money on the spot? As far as those evidences are concerned, except for the ten thousand guan, which is certain, every other one has loopholes. The other party has
The chance is denied. If we fight to the end, it will probably take a year or two, and there will be more than a hundred more to come. If everyone makes such a claim, it will take at least ten years."
"A lawsuit lasts ten years."
Wang Anshi smiled and shook his head, "Forget it then. What are you going to do next?"
Zhang Fei said: "Now the other party has only one choice, which is to reconcile with me. In this case, they must pay full taxes for those tenant farmers."...Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "That was the previous condition. Now that we have such a huge advantage,
Just paying a little tax is really cheap for them."
Zhang Fei asked: "I wonder what University Scholar Wang has planned?"
Wang Anshi said: "They must be forced to change the contract with the tenant farmers to ensure that the tenant farmers will no longer bear any taxes in the contract."
Once this was changed, he could ask the emperor to legislate that land taxes could no longer be borne by tenant farmers.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I don't think it's a big problem."
Wang Anshi pondered for a while and said, "Didn't you mention just now that you are asking for a high price and you have to pay it back on the spot?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Wang Anshi said: "Then don't ask for 500,000 guan first, ask for 5 million guan."
Zhang Fei looked at him doubtfully.
Wang Anshi said: "The extra 4.5 million yuan will be used to offset the interest of the tenant slaves."
Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "Now they are meat on the chopping board, I think there should be no problem."
Wang Anshi thought again, "Forget it, that's all. If I ask for more, I'm afraid they won't obey my orders."
In fact, he knew very well that he couldn't get everything he wanted with just one lawsuit.
If a landlord compensates 500,000 guan, all landlords in the world will rebel. Asking them for 500,000 guan is no different from killing them. They racked their brains and drew blood from the tenant farmers for ten years, but in the end they were
If you cut off your hair, no one will be able to accept it.
Most of these landowners are relatives of the emperor and scholar-bureaucrats. Their influence, power, and status are not small.
They will definitely go to court and raise objections to this compensation.
The emperor still had to compromise.
Why go to that step? After all, everyone can't see you when you look up.
