Chapter 436 Tax War ([-])
Meng House.
"What's going on here? Why did Fengyuebao send people to ambush there?"
Meng Gansheng shook the newspaper in his hand, saying incredulously.
From their point of view, this occurrence is really unbelievable!
Totally unexpected.
"This is too strange."
Zhao Wenzheng comforted himself: "No one will believe it."
Xie Yun said: "The Fengyue News sent people to ambush Liu's house in advance. This is indeed very strange. Based on this alone, no one would believe it. But the newspaper also revealed that the police station also sent people to follow. Very bad for us."
"Isn't the police station on our side? Not long ago, we all donated money to them."
"I am not sure as well."
"I really shouldn't trust their Cao family."
Fu Shichun's move really caught a lot of attention.
Especially when the public opinion is already boiling, such explosive content suddenly broke out, causing the whole incident to reverse.
The Fengyuebao, which has been hiding in Goulan Washe, has become famous in the capital.
The sales volume of Fengyue Bao directly broke the record set by the news newspaper, within half a day, it sold [-] copies directly.
This at least shows that he frankly printed [-] copies.
To know today's printing process, printing [-] copies is not a small project!
It can be seen that Fu Shichun is quite well prepared.
According to the details disclosed in Feng Yue Bao, the tax police knocked on the door very politely at that time, expressing their intention to come, and repeatedly asked the other party to cooperate.
But the other party kept provoking and insulting, and even attacked the tax police with pebbles, which led to the tax police taking action.
It even disclosed their conversations in detail.
Conspiracy theory and human nature figured it out, and most people immediately believed that this was a conspiracy against the tax department.
The procuratorate also took immediate action to find Fu Shichun and Cao Dongdong.
"Master Fu, why did you send someone to ambush the Liu family in advance?"
Su Zhe asked very confused.
Fu Shichun said: "Because I heard the news that the tax department will take action against Liu Ping, so that night I quietly sent someone to lurk on a big tree near Liu's house to see how the tax police enforce the law. , because I know that people are very interested in this, if I can disclose the details, my Fengyuebao will definitely sell well."
Su Zhe didn't believe it, and asked, "Is Mr. Fu short of this money?"
Fu Shichun smiled and said: "This is not a small amount of money, and it is much more than growing grain."
Su Zhe nodded, and asked again, "Where did you get the news?"
Fu Shichun said: "I can't say this, if I say it, then I won't get this kind of news in the future."
Su Zhe said: "But if you don't explain clearly, how can people believe what you said."
Fu Shichun smiled and said, "Believe it or not, I don't care about it. However, my people also found two royal policemen nearby."
Su Zhe said, "Why didn't you inform our procuratorate in advance?"
Fu Shichun said with a smile: "I spend so much energy not for your procuratorate, but for selling newspapers. If I inform the procuratorate in advance, how can I sell newspapers?"
At the same time, Cao Dongdong is also being interrogated by Qi Jidi.
"Did Deputy Superintendent Cao give the order to let the two royal policemen follow the tax policeman?"
"Is there a need to ask? Who else can give orders besides this yamen." Cao Dongdong was very upset, are you questioning my authority?
Qi Ji said: "For example, Superintendent Cao."
"My father is almost sick and confused, and has long since stopped doing things." Cao Dongdong said carelessly.
What a filial son!Qi Ji sighed in his heart, and asked again: "I don't know why Deputy Superintendent Cao sent the royal police to follow the tax police?"
Cao Dongdong asked back: "Didn't you read the newspaper?"
Qi Ji asked in astonishment, "What reward?"
"It's the Fengyue Bao from a few days ago."
Cao Dongdong said: "That newspaper published the remarks of the yamen. The duty of our royal police is to defend the legitimate rights and interests of the people for the government. We will not let the tax department act recklessly. That's why I sent people to quietly follow the tax police. If If they dare to abuse their power and seek personal gain, our Royal Police will never let them go."
Qi Ji was a little confused. Are you helping the tax police or are you supervising the tax police?
Cao Dongdong sighed again: "It's just that I didn't expect that those domestic servants are so disgusting. When the tax policeman told them in a nice voice, they would even sneer back, even insult them, and even throw pebbles at the end. It's really a shame. It’s no wonder the tax police used force against them.”
Qi Ji asked again: "I don't know how the deputy superintendent knew that the tax department would raid Liu's house? As far as I know, the tax department's actions have always been kept very secret."
Cao Dongdong blinked guiltyly: "This yamen has its own way, but I can't tell you, otherwise, who would dare to report to this yamen."
Qi Ji said: "In that case, before, why didn't the deputy superintendent take the initiative to inform our procuratorate before?"
Cao Dongdong glanced at him and said, "What? Do you think that your procuratorate is above our police station? My police station handles the case without informing your procuratorate. We will come here and let you prosecute after the evidence is conclusive. of.
The Qin Biao case last time was obviously the credit of our police station, and we were investigating it all the time. As a result, your procuratorate took all the limelight. When you went to court for interrogation, you didn't mention our royal family. police.
Also, you didn't come to ask our police station to help with the investigation. It's a pity that you don't have the ability to find evidence, and you blame us in the end, which is really unreasonable. "
torment!
Communicating with this dude is really a torment.
Qi Ji was too lazy to communicate with this guy.
After half an hour.
Cao Dongdong and Fu Shichun came out of the procuratorate.
"Xiaochun, you didn't betray me, did you?" Cao Dongdong asked in a low voice.
Fu Shichun said: "I came up with this idea, can I betray you?"
Cao Dongdong said: "Remember, you must keep it a secret, or my brother in the tax department will be finished."
"I know." Fu Shichun looked around, and said again: "Let's go back and talk about it."
As he said that, he was about to get into the carriage, but Cao Dongdong pulled him away with one hand, "How can you walk in front of me, I am the Royal Police."
Fu Shichun smiled helplessly, stretched out his hand and said, "The Royal Police, please."
"That's about the same." Cao Dongdong jumped into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and immediately said, "Oh! I got into the wrong carriage."
He jumped down hastily again.
Fu Shichun was stunned for a moment, this is your carriage!
Suddenly someone said in the carriage: "Yamei didn't get into the wrong carriage, but I got into the wrong carriage."
Only then did Fu Shichun understand.
Cao Dongdong waved his hand, "Xiaochun, you go first."
Fu Shichun smiled, got into the carriage, saw Zhang Fei sitting in the carriage, and nodded with a smile: "Zhang San, don't come here without any problems."
Zhang Fei glanced at him expressionlessly.
Then Cao Dongdong got on the carriage with his head down.
The carriage slowly drove away from the procuratorate.
There was silence in the carriage.
Cao Dongdong looked around, but he didn't dare to look at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei suddenly laughed and said, "Ya Nei, let's not talk about brotherhood, I'm your Erbi, how dare you keep this kind of thing from me? What if something happens!"
Cao Dongdong immediately pointed to Fu Shichun and said, "Xiaochun didn't let me tell you, he wanted to sell newspapers."
Fu Shichun said depressedly: "It's clearly you who are hesitating, or me!"
Cao Dongdong coughed, rubbed his nose, and whispered, "Do you want to cooperate in the future?"
Fu Shichun was stunned, and then said to Zhang Fei: "Zhang San, this will be more beneficial to you. After all, you are employed by the tax department. How can you be convincing when you say it yourself? It is easier for people to believe what we say. .”
Cao Dongdong nodded straightly and said, "Zhang San, don't get too close to us these days, lest they think we're working together."
"I bother!"
Zhang Fei hummed: "Ya Nei, don't pretend that I don't know what you're thinking, you just want to hide it and not report it, so as to get more donations."
Cao Dongdong hurriedly said: "Don't wrong people, if I hadn't waited for Xiaochun to sell the newspaper, I would have told you already."
Fu Shichun said unhappily: "I remember the yamen is very entangled?"
Cao Dongdong said aggrievedly: "It's thousands of copies, can't you just get entangled? I haven't said anything about you yet, you can print a thousand copies, but you are so greedy, you have printed [-] copies, otherwise, How could it be possible to delay until now, and let Zhang San misunderstand me."
Fu Shichun was also anxious, "If I didn't print [-] copies, how could I donate so much money to your police station? Who is greedy?"
"Ahem. Don't talk nonsense!"
Cao Dongdong kicked Fu Shichun lightly.
These two boys are really better than the other, if you want to use them in the future, you have to be careful!Zhang Fei asked, "How did you learn about the tax department's actions?"
Cao Dongdong immediately said, "It's all Xiaochun's idea."
Fu Shichun said indifferently: "The mountain people have their own tricks."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "I hope you can continue to use this clever plan."
Cao Dongdong and Fu Shichun's eyes showed a hint of complacency.
Don't even think about it, where are those tax police officers trained? In the Tax Department, the Imperial Court, and the Procuratorate, we have a lot of eyeliners.
As everyone knows, all of this was planned by Zhang Fei. Before that, he deliberately made Cao Dongdong realize that the royal police can check and balance the tax police, thus winning the support of the people.
With Cao Dongdong's character, he will be very eager to prove this point.
The tax department only took action after confirming that Cao Dongdong had contacted several tax police officers. Before taking action, it was confirmed that there were indeed royal police lurking, and the purpose was to use the royal police as their own witnesses.
Of course, the original plan was to shill this matter to ferment, and then Zhang Fei borrowed the royal police to deal a fatal blow to the other party in court, but unexpectedly, Fu Shichun actually got involved, and planned to use this matter to sell newspapers.
Having said that, it does have to be more convincing.
They did a really good job too!
As for the procuratorate, after some investigation, it can be confirmed that the two royal policemen and the people sent by the Fu family appeared near Liu's house, because when they left, many witnesses saw them.
At the same time, their confessions were also very consistent, especially the person sent by the Fu family, who even remembered the accent of the Liu family servants, and accurately identified who was swearing and who was throwing stones.
In fact, none of the tax police saw who threw the stone.
The procuratorate immediately withdrew the prosecution against the tax department, and formally prosecuted Liu Ping and his servants.
The change of the procuratorate is almost to confirm the matter.
Everyone is more convinced of this.
Public opinion is almost one-sided.
royal court.
Lu Jiawen and the six judicial officials came out of the house, returned to the chairs and sat down.
"After discussions between the president of the court and six judicial officials, 24 domestic servants headed by Liu Chong obstructed the tax police from enforcing the law. Six of them, including Liu Chong, Tian Ergen, and Fang Dashu, attacked and insulted the tax police. Five years in prison without redemption.
The remaining [-] domestic servants were sentenced to three years in prison, but because they did not do anything, each of them could pay twenty ransoms to compensate for the punishment. "
Having said that, Lu Jiawen looked at Liu Ping in the dock again, "As for the suspect Liu Ping, he falsely reported his property and evaded 180 guan of taxes. He is not at home, so the president of the court will not pursue his criminal responsibility for the time being, but he is also responsible for what his servants did. The president of the court will sentence him to pay three times the fine, together with the back payment of taxes and late fees, a total of 720 nine guan .”
Li Guozhong frowned, this judge really knows how to make money!
The servant Liu Chong took all the responsibility, and at the same time Liu Ping borrowed Li Guozhong to provide proof that he wanted to pay taxes, so Liu Ping escaped, but Liu Ping must go to redeem him, and here he has to pay another 360 guan. Including fines, a total of 89 guan has to be paid.
Lu Jia asked again: "The president of the judge reiterates that no matter you are a domestic servant or whoever you are, you must cooperate with the tax police in law enforcement. If you have any problems, you can appeal to the police station or the procuratorate afterwards. Otherwise, you will be responsible for all the consequences." .”
He looked directly at Su Zhe, "Prosecutor Su, do you understand?"
On the surface, this is a warning to the procuratorate that if the police use violence, you will sue.
But it's actually for everyone's benefit.
This incident made their procuratorate very uncomfortable.
Now let's stipulate that everyone must cooperate with the tax police in law enforcement.
Of course Su Zhe knew it in his heart, but he also pretended to be aggrieved, nodded and said, "We understand."
Wang Anshi, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the trial, whispered to Lu Gong: "Uncle Hui, your grandson's official authority is greater than yours!"
Lu Gong said: "I don't blame him for this. At his age, if he has no prestige, how can he manage this matter?"
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "That's true, and his judgment is also for the sake of the imperial court. If this situation is not stopped, their imperial court will also be under great pressure."
Lu Jiawen said this, which means that as long as you hinder the tax police from enforcing the law, no matter what the reason is, the imperial court will not hold the tax police accountable.
You must know that the imperial court was also under great pressure before, but now things have turned around, and public opinion has all turned towards the tax department. This gave Lu Jiawen an opportunity, and he had to seize it.
Lu Gong sighed: "But this matter is far from over!"
As he spoke, he glanced diagonally across.
Wang Anshi followed his gaze, but saw a group of people around Liu Ping, nodded and said: "More than 1000 guns are nothing to them at all, and they are still in an advantage at present."
Having said that, he suddenly looked to the upper left corner, and saw a man and a woman standing there.
It was Zhang Fei and Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian also expressed regret: "In the end, Liu Ping was not accused."
Speaking of which, she turned her head to look at Zhang Fei beside her, "Zhang San, I'm afraid this will not be effective in deterring them. If those people have too many servants, they will definitely find a way to deal with the tax department. It’s really hard to guard against.”
Zhang Fei asked rhetorically, "But if Liu Ping is sentenced to death for the sake of killing chickens and monkeys, do you think it can serve as a deterrent?"
Xu Zhiqian pondered for a while, "No way."
Zhang Fei nodded with a smile, and said: "They planned it before, so that those landlords should try not to stay at home as much as possible, and go to the bookstore to give evidence that they want to pay taxes, and at the same time let the servants go to the tax police. Zhou Xuan, even if there is any accident, can make people take the blame. In a sense, this is actually a law-abiding performance.
If the imperial court is allowed to forcibly kill chickens and monkeys, it will completely replace justice with violence, and no one will obey justice anymore.It will not be like now, they will obey the judgment of the imperial court and pay all the fines. "
Xu Zhiqian nodded: "That being said, the situation is actually very unfavorable to the tax department. It would take half a month to check one, so how can they make up for the finances of the employees? They won't be in a hurry at all. When will this be the end? .”
Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Don't worry, they will show their flaws before the tax bureaus run out of fuel."
Xu Zhiqian asked curiously, "A flaw?"
Zhang Fei whispered: "Do you know that Qin Biao and Liu Ping's income includes a lot of illegal income, including the occupation of official land and the sale of private salt."
Xu Zhiqian was startled, "Does the tax department have evidence?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Of course."
Xu Zhiqian said: "Then why didn't you inform the procuratorate?"
Zhang Fei laughed and said: "This is to allow everyone to quickly adapt to the process of the public prosecution law, and if it ends too soon, I'm afraid they won't be convinced, and they have to take it step by step to make them feel awe of the judiciary." .Now it’s just an appetizer, and the chicken hasn’t been killed yet.”
