"Wow...what a big project!"

Zhang Fei, who came to the hall, looked at the three large boxes of documents and estimated that they should be more than the memorial to impeach him, although he had never seen them.

Chen Ming, who was sitting aside, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Zhang Fei, and thought to himself, isn't this all thanks to you?

In fact, it can be said that the ghost tax policemen of the Taxation Department were trained by Zhang Fei, and Li Bao can be said to be his disciple.

There is actually a thin line between tax police and robbers. This line is the law. You cannot just find some evidence and then start to make up your mind. The tax department must obtain sufficient evidence so as not to undermine the public security system and make people

Take it heartily.

According to the law, powerful people must be punished if they break the law, and the emperor sometimes cannot protect him.

In order to convince people, the Taxation Department must provide ironclad evidence to leave them speechless.

Qiu Zhengwen first bowed his hand and then said: "President, here is actually only part of the evidence, and the purpose is only to meet the standard of prosecution. Due to the special nature of my employer, the Taxation Department, they need to keep some evidence confidential.

This is to prevent the news from leaking out in advance and allowing those tax evaders to destroy the evidence, causing all previous efforts to be wasted.”

Having said this, he paused for a moment and said with some anxiety: "Therefore, we also hope that the imperial court can keep these evidences confidential to prevent them from being leaked and causing unnecessary losses to our employer."

When I said these words to my boss, I still felt a little guilty.

Zhang Fei gave him an encouraging look, then nodded and said: "I understand, we will keep this confidential. Because there is too much evidence, we have to review it before deciding whether to hold a trial. If there is

If there is a result, we will send someone to notify you immediately."

Chen Ming, who was sitting aside, suddenly stood up and said: "Then please ask President Zhang to deal with it as soon as possible, because this is related to the expenses and bonuses of our Taxation Department. The people in our Taxation Department did not have money to celebrate the New Year last year, and they were always working hard."

Cai Jing and the others turned their heads to look at Chen Ming at the same time, thinking in their hearts, is it so straightforward?

Zhang Fei smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we will do it as soon as possible."

When they left, Zhang Fei suddenly clapped his hands and said, "After a few months of rest, it's time to start working. You have also heard that the tax department needs to keep it secret, so this work can only be done by a few of us for the time being.

.”

"ah?"

"What? I'm used to being the president of the court, and I don't want to do such a trivial job!"

"No...no."

"Better not!"

...

This news came out very quickly, and it immediately surprised many people. In fact, everyone knew that the Taxation Department would definitely launch an operation at the beginning of this year, but they did not expect it to come so quickly. It was only the first day of work!

This even led to a very interesting phenomenon. In the past, on the first day of work, the officials and government officials would open the door and clean up, and then the junior officials would come to check in. The senior officials usually would not come. Who would be so ignorant?

Interested, come and give them work on the first day. If there is any, this work can basically be postponed to next year.

However, the sudden action of the Taxation Department caused all officials, big and small, to go to work.

As soon as Chen Ming returned to the city, the government office sent someone to invite him over.

When they saw Chen Ming, Wei Yingfang and the others first exchanged greetings. After all, it was the first day of work in the new year, so congratulations were unavoidable.

After the greetings, Cai Yanqing asked: "Tax Commissioner Chen, I just heard that this tax evasion situation is very serious. The tax department has filed a lawsuit with the imperial court?"

Chen Mingdao: "Actually, it's not serious. We just follow the rules."

Wei Yingfang pretended to be respectful and said: "Tax Commissioner Chen is so conscientious that he really puts our people to shame. On the first day we opened the door, he worked diligently on his official duties."

At this moment, no one dares to offend the Taxation Department easily.

Chen Ming said: "Our tax department does not take annual leave and has been working until now."

Cai Yanqing was surprised and said: "Really?"

Chen Ming nodded and said: "Because most of our employees in the tax department live on bonuses. How can we celebrate the New Year without money? However, we will not take a holiday until we have completed these lawsuits and received bonuses."

It's so real.

"....!"

Cai Yanqing coughed and said, "Tax Commissioner Chen, there are actually some things you have to say. It doesn't need to be said so straightforwardly. After all, it's a government agency, so you have to pay attention to it."

As an official, you should talk about sharing your worries for the king, not doing things for money.

Chen Ming said: "This is the system of our tax department. Everyone knows it. There is no need to hide it."

Cai Yanqing could only change the subject and said: "So what is the current situation?"

Chen Ming cupped his hands and said: "President Cai, I'm really sorry. This is currently a secret belonging to our tax department. It is inconvenient to disclose it to anyone. After the lawsuit is filed, if the government feels there is a problem, we will give a detailed explanation to Prefect Cai.

.”

"Okay, I won't ask any more questions." Cai Yanqing nodded awkwardly.

Asked about loneliness.

After leaving the government office, Chen Minggang was halfway along the road when he was approached by the Procuratorate again.

This first day of the new year is so busy.

"Why did the Tax Department hire an Erbi to fight this lawsuit? You should cooperate with our Procuratorate. Those Erbi are not trustworthy. If they lose the lawsuit, won't the taxes be waived?"

Su Che said to Chen Ming excitedly.

He thought that the Taxation Department must be looking for them, and he was already prepared to adjust himself to the best condition. Little did he know that Chen Ming directly hired Qiu Zhengwen to fight the lawsuit.

This made Su Zhe very unhappy.

Are you trying to ignore our procuratorate?

Is there anything fishy about this?

Chen Ming said truthfully: "This is because when the Procuratorate was in the capital, it once accused our Taxation Department of abusing force. It can be seen that the Procuratorate has always had its own powers and may conflict with our Taxation Department. The responsibilities of our Taxation Department are

That is to recover every penny of evaded taxes and more fines. At this point, Nerbi will all obey our orders."

All the prosecutors, including Su Che, were furious. Su Che was so anxious because he was actually thinking about the tax department. We are the most professional.

No doubt about it!

Chen Ming has become the number one straight man in the Song Dynasty. He quarrels with everyone he meets. You don't even look at who is standing behind me. Do I need to give you face?

unnecessary.

Not only that, his job is to go against everyone, and he doesn't need to get close to anyone except Zhang Fei, the invisible boss.

But Su Che was also a fierce man. He frowned and said: "Tax evasion is also a criminal case. Our procuratorate has the right to intervene in the investigation. I will go to the imperial court to discuss it. Many things are beyond your control. Moreover, if your tax department

Our procuratorate will also prosecute any abuse of law enforcement power."

This is not a lot of speculation.

Chen Ming cupped his hands and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

"No!"

Su Che waved his sleeves angrily, then turned around.

After Chen Ming left, Su Che immediately rushed to the imperial court. How could you ignore our procuratorate and supervise each other in this kind of case?

When Su Zhe saw Zhang Fei, he asked him a barrage of questions without saying a word.

Because Qiu Zhengwen, hired by the Taxation Department, said that Zhang San had no internal arrangements, Su Zhe really didn't believe it.

"Mr. Su Xiao, please calm down."

After Zhang Fei comforted him, he added: "The Procuratorate absolutely has the right and must intervene in the investigation of this case, because taxation is the core interest of the country, the monarch, and the people, and no one can shut out the Procuratorate."

Su Che shook his hands and asked, "Then what's going on now?"

Zhang Fei explained: "But this is completely different from who the tax department invites to litigate. Chen Tax Envoy will only care about the interests of the tax department. Who they hire to litigate is their right. But there are no regulations. If the government

To proceed with a lawsuit, you must file a lawsuit through the Procuratorate.

But this does not hinder the procuratorate from exercising its power to prosecute, because the procuratorate's power to prosecute is not restricted by anyone, and even the parties cannot prevent the procuratorate from prosecuting. This is a right, not an obligation.

Therefore, the procuratorate can still investigate this case. If the procuratorate believes that the tax department’s lawsuit is not comprehensive enough and that there is bending of the law for personal gain, it can also prosecute anyone involved. Only the procuratorate has the evidence.”

Regarding the prosecution power of the Procuratorate and the prosecution of Erbi, those are two different things. As for Erbi, if the parties do not file a lawsuit, Erbi must withdraw the lawsuit. The two are in an employment relationship, but the Procuratorate is different. He has this power.

As long as criminal regulations are violated, whether the victim files a complaint or not, and whether the procuratorate prosecutes or not, has little to do with it.

The procuratorate protects national interests and national laws. As long as someone breaks the law and the procuratorate has evidence, it must prosecute.

Erbi is between the defendant and the plaintiff, the relationship between people, while the procuratorate mainly focuses on the relationship between the incident and the state.

Of course, the plaintiff can also negotiate with the procuratorate, such as exchanging a prison term for compensation for his losses, but the final decision lies with the procuratorate.

Based on this point, there is no requirement for who must prosecute through the procuratorate, because no matter whether you go to the procuratorate or not, the procuratorate must intervene.

After Zhang Fei's explanation, Su Che calmed down a little and said: "This means that our procuratorate can now intervene in the investigation of this case."

He knows that the power of the Procuratorate is actually very critical. He cannot let go of every detail. Only in this way can he defend the power of the Procuratorate. All face and dignity should be put aside first. It is impossible to ignore it just because he is angry. That would be stupid. Lack of work.

Moreover, he is also very wary of the Taxation Department, because the real boss behind the Taxation Department is the emperor. If this department is not restricted, the consequences will be very terrible.

Zhang Fei pondered for a while and said: "Let's talk about the matter. In fact, at present, the whole matter has not entered the procuratorate's investigation process, because nothing happened, which means no criminal regulations were violated. We at the Imperial Court don't know whether the evidence can support us. When a trial is held, the procuratorate can only intervene in the investigation during the trial or after the verdict."
