The clerk said: "But our tax department has not received your tax return."

Li Fujiang remained silent.

The clerk asked again: "Did you receive your penalty note last month?"

Li Fujiang nodded: "Yes."

The clerk said: "In the penalty note, we asked you to send the taxes and fines to the Taxation Department at the beginning of this month, but you did not do so."

Li Fujiang remained silent.

The clerk said: "You will now face prosecution from our tax department."

...

Imperial Court.

"President Qian, the twelve tax evasion defendants tried yesterday have paid all their taxes, fines, and atonement today."

Fan Chunren handed dozens of documents to Qian Yi, "If there are no problems with the Imperial Court, the Taxation Department and the Police Department will release him."

Qian Yi took it, looked at it carefully, stamped it with the seal of the imperial court, handed it back to Fan Chunren, and sighed: "Sometimes, the actions of the Taxation Department are deeply worrying, but...but it has to be

Admit it, they are really able to raise taxes. So far, including fines and atonements, Qingzhou’s autumn tax revenue last year was already three times that of the year before. This was unimaginable in the past."

This time the tax department finally showed its fangs. If you don't pay taxes, they will use all means, sneak attacks, break-ins, and even directly seize all the property of those big landowners, close the shop door for you, and seize the goods for you.

If you want to buy a piece of salt or a bottle of wine, it may be confiscated.

Both sides tried their best, and both sides suffered casualties. However, the porcelain did not touch the tiles. After fighting for a long time, the wealthy gentry of Qingzhou discovered that the tax department was fighting them desperately. Coupled with the murder in Qizhou, they gradually

I'm scared.

This cowardice and the high fines made them want to die. The autumn tax was three times the usual, all due to their fines.

One is truly worth a thousand.

After hearing this, Fan Chunren felt mixed emotions in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said: "Now that there are corpses everywhere in Qizhou, how can they not be afraid? Who would have thought that the tax department is really so ruthless, even those grass bandits are not spared from taxation.

Back then in the capital, we just caught a wanted criminal."

Having said this, he sighed deeply again, "To tell you the truth, Judge Qian, I really don't like the methods of the Taxation Department, but every accusation made by the Taxation Department is made by us. If they are wrong,

, then aren’t we helping the tyrants do evil?”

Tangled!

Quite confusing!

The key tax department is so good at finding evidence that it never loses a lawsuit.

Qian Yi stroked his beard and said, "It's really strange. Qizhou seems to be full of blood, but there doesn't seem to be much turmoil."

Fan Chunren chuckled and said: "Su Zizhan's letter has already explained this. The tax department is specifically focusing on those big landowners and wealthy people for investigation, and they don't care about ordinary people at all. The people of Qizhou are watching the show every day.

, how can I have the time to follow in the trouble.

Moreover, the tax department’s independent declaration has no conversion or transfer, and the people are more active. Those second and third-class households who want to take advantage of the situation are frightened and rush to pay taxes when they see this situation.”

Qian Yi said: "Now let's see how the Qizhou rebellion case will be judged. Do you have any news?"

"It can't be so fast. The suspects and witnesses have just been sent to the capital."

Fan Chunren shook his head and said: "The officials will definitely support the Taxation Department, but the resistance they face can be imagined!"

...

Fan Chunren was only half right.

There was definitely resistance. The powerful officials and scholar-bureaucrats could not succeed and had no choice but to go back to their old ways. The censors and admonishers began to impeach the tax department for some of their actions.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the same time, some ministers who were close to the emperor tried to persuade the emperor that they had no intention of rebellion. It was only because the tax department was too reckless that they took a counterattack.

This involves many meritorious deeds, and the original edict of Taizu must not be violated.

In any case, he used both soft and hard tactics to put pressure on the emperor.

But Zhao Xu has no pressure at all now. No matter whether you are here to be tough or soft, he just said, you have to send someone to interrogate. You can't commit rebellion and just ignore it!

The Zhengshitang arranged for someone to go to trial!

Why are you telling me this?

I didn’t say what I was going to do!

At this moment, Zhao Xu and Zhang Fei were sitting in the attic, changing cups and cups, how comfortable they were!

"According to the news from the Taxation Department, Qingzhou's autumn tax has been three times that of last year."

Zhao Xu's eyes were shining, he was so happy to have this money.

Zhang Fei quickly reminded: "It is estimated that the court can only get about twice as much. After all, the main part is fines, and the tax police will take more than half of the bonus."

Zhao Xu smiled and said: "This bonus cannot be less, it must be given, they all deserve it, haha...!"

Jingdong East Road is in such a mess, and it’s really frustrating to be able to collect so much tax. He sighed: “But why is that? I used to collect taxes from those wealthy gentry, but I couldn’t collect them anyway.

There was bound to be a problem, but now that the Taxation Department has arrived, it will be immediately successful. I really never thought that the Taxation Department could be so successful."

Zhang Fei said: "It's actually very simple, because this time the Public Security Bureau was established first, and the officials did not reduce their privileges. All the violent acts of the Taxation Department are based on legality. Otherwise, how could they not accept it?"

This case."

"It makes sense."

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "But whether they can be convinced by this case depends entirely on you."

Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "For officials, it depends on the president of the court."

Zhao Xu chuckled and said, "Let me tell you, the best thing about the public prosecutor's law is that we can shirk responsibility from each other!"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "I don't deny this."

They were not in a hurry at all, because the case would definitely be handed over to the public prosecutor, prosecutors, and the judiciary. Without this certainty, the case would not have happened.

However, many people in the court were still resisting. They still targeted Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. They were Zhao Xu's right-hand men. If they came to interrogate, the procuratorate would probably have to weigh them.

The Ordinance Department of the Second Government was established.

"Master Wang, many ministers now hope that you can stand up and preside over this case. This is an excellent opportunity to attack the Public Security Bureau and the Procuratorate, and it can also gain more officials' support for the new law. The Taxation Department has offended the public by doing this."

Meng Qiansheng personally took action to persuade Wang Anshi to take over the case.

Wang Anshi said: "Do you know that this case is most likely a conspiracy of the Department of Taxation?"

Meng Qiansheng nodded and said: "Of course I know this. That's why so many people oppose it. The Taxation Department can use this move to deal with the gentry and powerful people in Qizhou today, and it can also use this move to deal with us in the future. This rebellion

But it’s a capital crime!”

Wang Anshi said: "Since you know this is a trap, can you guarantee that the Taxation Department has no concrete evidence of their rebellion?"

"We have already inquired clearly about this. Absolutely no one in this case has any intention of treason. Then Wu Tian is just a small bandit. The evidence has not been scrutinized, and we will definitely support Bachelor Wang." Meng Qiansheng. road.

Wang Anshi said: "Then can you guarantee that Sima Fu will not interfere with it?"

Meng Qiansheng blinked.

Wang Anshi said: "The reason why I refused at the meeting was because Duke Wen refused to accept the offer and Sima Fu refused to accept the offer. This was most likely a trap set by them to deal with me."

Meng Qiansheng looked shocked. He really had never thought about this.

...

Wenfu.

Wen Yanbo looked at all his old friends and said, "Why don't you go to Sima Junshi about this matter and come to me instead?"

A gray-haired old man said with a smile: "Why haven't we gone to Jun Shi? But after all, he is responsible for the judicial reform. The officials want to transfer the case to the public prosecutor, so it is inconvenient for him!"

In this case, neither the progressives nor the conservatives wanted the tax department to succeed, which jeopardized the interests of all of them.

Wen Yanbo chuckled and said, "This Jun is really getting more and more cunning, and he doesn't even blink when he lies."

"Then I don't know how Brother Kuanfu plans to deceive us."

"I...."

Wen Yanbo smiled bitterly and said: "I won't lie to you. I'll tell you clearly that as long as Wang Jiefu doesn't speak for a day, I will never speak."

"What does this have to do with Wang Jiefu?"

"Because no one knows how much evidence the Taxation Department has in hand. Assuming that one of them is really related to the rebellion, and I take the overall situation into consideration and let him go, Wang Jiefu will definitely attack me. Qi Xiye was one before The best example. If I get involved with the rebellion, then the Wen family will all be defeated by me."

Several old men looked at each other and nodded in understanding.

We really have to guard against this. After all, Wang Anshi didn't say anything. If the conservatives get involved, it will be over.

This is a charge of rebellion.

These people planned to use party strife to seduce Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to take over the case, but there was always a mountain higher.

They also took advantage of party disputes and refused to take the case.

The reason you asked us to interrogate is simply to attack the tax department, or at least to suppress it. But if I do not do well in the interrogation, the other party may connect with the public prosecutors and the judiciary to deal with me.
