, let them go home first, this member Xu is not in good health. I wonder what Prosecutor Su thinks?"

Su Che shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm afraid this won't work. I came here today with orders to take Xu Yu to the procuratorate for investigation."

Li Guozhong was stunned, "Take...to the procuratorate? This...is this for...why?"

Su Che hesitated for a moment and said: "Anyway, the evidence is now conclusive, and I'm not afraid to tell you that when we reviewed Xu Yu's income, we found that they were selling illegal salt."

"ah?"

Li Guozhong couldn't help being shocked, "Selling illegal salt? That's not right! I...I just talked to Secretary Li just now, and they didn't mention it!"

Su Zhe said: "The Taxation Department doesn't know about this, and it has nothing to do with them."

Li Guozhong frowned and said: "In other words, this...is what your procuratorate wants to investigate?"

Su Che nodded.

At this moment, Li He came over and said, "Prosecutor Su is here."

Su Che took out an official document, handed it to Li He, and said, "Siwu Li, we are here under orders to take these people to the procuratorate for trial."

Li He took the official document and looked at it, "Okay, I'll have someone make arrangements right away. But I'd also like to trouble your procuratorate to settle the case of false tax declarations first. Otherwise, our tax department won't be able to accommodate so many people."

Su Che hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will talk to Director Xu about it when I get back."

When Li Guozhong heard this, he knew something was wrong and rushed back immediately.

Almost at the same time.

Na Qiji came to Xiangfu County with several prosecutors and a team of royal police.

The magistrate of Xiangfu County didn't even know Qi Ji, a small character, so he asked, "Who are you?"

Qi Ji bowed his hand and said, "If you go back to Pangzhi County, I am Qi Ji, the prosecutor of the Procuratorate. I was ordered to come here today to investigate a case and need to obtain the official land account books of Xiangfu County."

County Magistrate Pang said: "Why do you have access to the official land account books of this county? Who gave you the power?"

Qi Ji said neither humble nor arrogantly: "Our procuratorate can exercise procuratorial power against government agencies, and we hope that Magistrate Pang can cooperate with us."

"If this county is not worthy...!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw a government official quickly come to Pang Zhixian's side and whispered in his ear: "Zhixian, there are more than a hundred royal policemen outside."

Pang Zhixian's expression changed and he said to Qi Ji: "You are just here to get an account book, you don't want to send so many people here, right? What do you want to do?"

Qi Ji replied: "Because this is an extremely important piece of evidence that cannot be lost, Chief Prosecutor Xu specifically requested the police station to send someone to escort it."

After all, Pang Zhixian is the magistrate of Chi County. How could he be easily frightened by them? He said to himself: "I have never heard that the procuratorate has such power. I have to ask the superiors first."

Qi Ji thought for a while, nodded and said: "Pang Magistrate County can ask the superiors for clarification, but in this process, our people must take good care of the account books. This matter is of great importance. If there is a problem, Pang Magistrate County will probably die."

will be implicated."

"What did you say?" Pang Zhixian frowned.

Qi Ji said: "Sorry!"

Pang Zhixian struggled for a while, thinking that it would not be a good thing to have more than a hundred royal policemen here. The key is that he had just taken office not long ago and did not know the situation. If he was really involved, it would be unjust, so

He said: "I can hand over the account books to you, but I will definitely report the matter to the superiors."

Qi Ji cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Magistrate Pang, for your accommodation."

The implication is, just ask, we are not lying at all.

...

The procuratorate's sudden action caught the high officials in the DPRK by surprise, and chaos reigned for a while.

But they didn't react for a while, thinking that the tax department was up to something, and scolded the tax department for not practicing martial ethics. Why did they start investigating the sale of illegal salt and the encroachment of official land when they had agreed to only check for tax exemptions in the first place?

This can cost your life.

Because when the Legislative Council promulgated the new tax law and lowered penalties, it was mainly for tax exemptions. It was very clear that these illegal acts were not included.

...

Meng Mansion.

Pei Wen, the imperial censor, quickly walked into the hall and said to those sitting here: "I just received news that the procuratorate has sent people to the Xiangfu County Government Office, Kaifeng County County Government Office, and the Third Division to collect evidence. Moreover,

"This is indeed an order from the Procuratorate and has nothing to do with the Taxation Department."

"I don't believe that this has nothing to do with the Department of Taxation. This is clearly a conspiracy. They just want to use this to force us to pay taxes."

Meng Qiansheng said angrily.

Pei Wen hesitated for a moment and said: "This is indeed related to the Taxation Department. This is something we have ignored before. Where did the evidence from the Taxation Department come from? I also went to the Xu family to ask, and those transactions are very hidden.

Yes, not many people knew about it, but it was clearly stated in the income provided by the Taxation Department, and it was precisely because of this that the Procuratorate discovered the problem."

Xie Jun wondered: "Why didn't the Xu family find out at that time?"

Pei Wen sighed: "It was because everyone was focused on the exemption tax at that time, and the tax department reported income this time, instead of just property like the previous government inspection, such as selling private salt. If the income was not checked, it would not be possible at all.

We couldn't find it. In fact, there were problems with the Qin family's income before, but the procuratorate didn't find it and the tax department didn't care about it, so they didn't report it at the time."

Xie Yun stamped his foot in annoyance: "I knew something would go wrong."

The people sitting here suddenly woke up and knew what the problem was. They still seriously underestimated the ability of the tax department.

These incomes are originally invisible, but the tax department was able to find them.

Be aware that it is very difficult to check income these days because of the lack of deeds.

But they never imagined that the Taxation Department had made plans a year in advance, had dirty information on dozens of households, and had clearly investigated it.

At this time, Zhao Wenzheng came to the house again.

Meng Qiansheng hurriedly asked: "Governor Zhao, what is the situation in the DPRK?"

Zhao Wenzheng first slumped down on the chair, held his forehead with one hand, and said feebly: "The Procuratorate has solid evidence, and everyone above supports the Procuratorate. No one dares to speak for Xu Yu."

He is also panicking a lot now. His horseman Wang Hongjin has also been involved. It is still unclear how much evidence the Taxation Department has and whether the Procuratorate will notice it.
