Chapter 5 Terminals (45)
Liu Mowen finally agreed to Miss Fang's going out, but it was actually a forced compromise.
The young talents and beautiful women who gathered together on the cliff saw the eldest lady holding the sick body up the mountain, and first expressed their kind condolences, and the eldest lady smiled one by one, and finally returned the last thank you, which was grateful.
Everyone knew in their hearts that she didn't gather them to ask for warmth, so she didn't spare the balls' straight to the point. Anyway, they are all acquaintances, all of them are extremely smart, and being honest with each other will save a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Han Wen was not in the mood to accompany people to play officially, and after saying politely, he went straight to the point: "I think you all know that my sister is missing, we received a letter yesterday, it seems that someone arrested my sister and asked me to ransom people with money, otherwise I will tear up the ticket." I can't pay attention to it, and I don't know if it's true, but I want you to give me some advice and help, okay?"
The hall was silent, everyone was stunned and shocked, and the eyes looking at her were puzzled, puzzled, and curious...... No one was sure that the truth of her words could be trusted.
After a while, Liu Changnan, who was closest to her, was full of anxiety and said, "Wenwen, you called everyone here to come over to make an idea?"
"That's right. Han Wen's eyes lit up sincerely, "Anan has also read the letter and knows that the hateful kidnapper's asking price is too high, so I have to invite everyone over." β
When Liu Changnan heard this, he looked up to the sky, and he didn't dare to look directly at the dozen pairs of eyes that were cast at him...... She's talking nonsense with her eyes open! The letter clearly asks for books, not money!
Only she and him had read the letter, and most of the rest only learned that Xiaoxue had been arrested today. Therefore, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were on him to learn more from him.
Liu Mowen strode forward to him, hooked his neck and asked urgently, "Really, can you get Xiaoxue back if you give money?"
Liu Changnan wanted to say: Actually, you are all fooled! Yu Guang glanced at Han Wen, and the other party kept looking at him with a serious expression, he knew that she wanted him to cooperate with her acting.
That being the case, there is nothing to worry about.
"Yes, the other party wants money to release people. "He's playing with all his heart. The taste of lying is not your average discomfort.
"How much?"
"Ten million taels of gold. "The Korean language is amazing.
Several members of the Long clan stammered and repeated: "One ...... One, one, ten million taels ..... "Gold!!
Han Wen nodded, "No more, no less, ten million taels." β
"......." Liu Changnan wanted to hit the wall. This play is getting bigger and bigger, what is she going to play!
"So much money, how can I get it together. "Even if the Han family is rich, Xiao Si knows that the Han family can't take out such a huge amount of money. The Golden Empire is rich, but it is not really created with gold, 10 million taels....... Astronomical.
"If it's really money, it's fine. Together, we might make it up. Hanasu looked at her husband with a solemn expression.
Jun Bai shook Huaqi's clenched fist and smiled gently: "It's okay, even if I spend all my belongings, I will redeem her." β
Liu Changnan looked at the unintentional show of affection between the husband and wife, and wanted to say: Big brother and sister, it's really not what you think, she lied to you, who can get 10 million taels!
"Is it true that if you really take out this money, Xiaoxue will come back?" Jun Bai calmed his wife's heart and said to Han Wen squarely.
His eyes were burning, and the cold light of thousands of years of ice floe was under his eyes, and Han Wen's heart tightened when she saw it, but fortunately, her concentration was strong enough, and she replied: "Yes, as long as you have money." β
"Okay, I'll help you. Jun Bai's righteous affection convinced the people in the hall.
Han Wen couldn't hide her surprise - when did the Jun family become so rich? Why didn't she know.
Liu Mowen was the most excited, Jianbai was generous and paid money, and there was a lot less prejudice against him before. Clapped his hands and praised two sentences: "It is worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, this grace, I Liu Mo asked to write it down." As he spoke, he clenched his fists and thanked him.
"I'm ashamed. "Junbai is modest and polite.
"Wenwen, are you really sure that if you pay the money, Xiaoxue will redeem it?" Qi Rin and Nan Nanzi sat in a corner and listened to these young people talking about money, and couldn't help but ask.
Liu Mowen shot at Qi Rin with an unkind gaze, "Old guy, can you hope that our Xiaoxue will get better?"
"I just don't really believe that the kidnappers will keep their promises. Qi Rin touched his beard, and his eyes were shining after seeing the vicissitudes of the world, "In addition, how do you pay money with one hand and ransom people with the other?"
"Yes, is there a place to pay the money on the letter?" Liu Mo asked, turning his head and asking the two people who had read the letter.
Liu Changnan looked at Han Wen silently, and his eyes were saying: "I am crying in a panic and I want to finish it."
"Didn't write. Han Wen's face was not red and his heart was not beating. "The other party asked us to prepare the money today, and then sent a letter to tell us where to pay the money. β
"And when will this second letter be delivered?" said Hanaqi eagerly.
Han Wen looked outside the hall, "If nothing else, let's ...... today."
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of many people suddenly changed.
In the time of one breath, a whistle suddenly descended from the air. Everyone felt tinnitus for one second, and the next second, a feathered arrow shot at the pillar of the hall in the air. The tail of the arrow vibrated several times.
More than a dozen pairs of eyes brushed and stared at the feathered arrow, time stood still at this moment, and the beating of the heart jumped unevenly.
Han Wen stood up straight, and suddenly, three or four sounds piercing the air passed by her ears one after another, and she turned her head to look at Anan, Wan Qian, Bai Fan and Liu Mo asked. The figures of the four leaped like falcons, rushing into the forest with swiftness and unhindered.
He quickly retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at Jun Bai, who was about to follow, and said coldly: "I won't use your money." β
Jun Bai paused on his raised feet and said puzzledly, "What?"
"Ten million taels, our Han family comes out by ourselves, but there is a small favor that needs the help of His Royal Highness the Prince. "She has never given a good face to the people of the Jun family, and today she opened her mouth, and today is a real request for help.
"What do you want me to help?" Jun Bai's mind was as complicated as a cloud, but he didn't really see her at the moment.
She raised her head, there was no expression on her plain face, and said solemnly: "The tax paid by the Han family this year is one year in arrears, and it will be three times higher next year." β
Hearing this, there was a gasp in all directions.
"You're crazy!" Hanaqi was the first to call out, "Thirty million taels!"
"Yes. Her face did not change, and she glanced at everyone seriously, "The concept of paying 30 million taels of gold tax a year." β
Hanasu's eyes widened, her hands touched her chest, and she breathed violently.
Jun Bai was unmoved, staring at her, his eyes black as a bottomless abyss. It's just that the person who is being targeted is worth it, how terrible this kind of look is, a hundred times more terrifying than death staring at himself.
However, she is Hangul, not someone else.
Fearlessly met those eyes, did not flinch, did not evade, and said to him in a laughing tone: "Is it okay?
Thirty million taels is an astronomical amount twice as much as ten million taels.
The tax systems of various countries in the world are different, but the root causes are always the same. The tax system is divided into categories and the management is strict, mainly based on land tax and commercial tax, supplemented by salt, iron, and Ding taxes. Taxes are paid monthly, with no exceptions.
Until five years ago, Yunlai would rise, break the system, and become the only exception in the history of Dayin.
Different from other taxes, the Han family has a small population, no fertile land, and only pays commercial tax, which is twice as high as that of others in terms of monthly taxes. The imperial court naturally attached great importance to the Han family, and the taxation was much stricter than other taxes. It's just that after the Han family became an official in the court, the emperor personally ordered that the monthly tax of the Han family should be changed to an annual tax, not to be confused with others, and to be taxed separately, and the annual tax was 10 million taels of gold, no more than one son, no less than one.
This is a real astronomical amount, looking at the world, only the Han family can give 10 million taels of gold, and others are beyond their reach.
In the past few years, the tax system that has been changed during this period has all been invalid to the Han family, whether it is a tax increase or tax reduction, 10 million taels will not change.
For businessmen, the state levies their business tax, which is the grayest area. All kinds of goods bought and sold are not checked according to specific laws and regulations, and tax evasion and tax evasion are very likely to occur. The Han family is different, its name will be huge and complex, stores are all over the place, and the shipping industry is developing rapidly, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is making money every day. What's more, the imperial court dared to let Yunlai call the annual tax, because every business of the Han family has a ticket, which is well-founded, and he is not afraid of making mistakes in paying taxes. On this basis, both sides are very reassured.
As a future monarch, Junbai attaches great importance to taxation, after all, it is related to the country. The Han family's shop is like a big net, forming a veritable golden empire, and no matter which country's imperial court will not give up this piece of fragrant food, not to mention, the treasury is full because the Han family's money accounts for half of it.
At this time, Han Wen put forward a request to delay one and pay three, and anyone who listens to it will be moved, and a fool will refuse.
But...... Jun Bai faintly felt that something was wrong secretly.
didn't allow Jun Bai to think too much, King Ping couldn't hold back his passion, stood in front of Han Wen, and looked at her in a condescending manner: "You will really give three times?"
Han Wen looked at this man with a smile on his face that could not be concealed without humility or arrogance, and replied: "I will swear by it, so that you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should believe it." β
"Good, good, good. King Ping stroked his palms and laughed, and said to Junbai: "Second brother, the eldest lady is sincere and touching, don't let down a piece of other people's hearts." β
Jun Bai was silent, still looking at her.
The relatives and friends of the Han family have long been on fire.
Da Zhou kept stroking Xiao Si's back and giving her relief, because she stared at the smiling King Ping angrily, and her two hands trembled.
"Thirty million taels, and I'm not afraid of dying. Xiao Si gritted his teeth and whispered, and he couldn't wait to rush up and slap the shameless prince.
Da Zhou also knew that the Jun family was bullying the Han family, but this was also brought up by Han Wen himself, and he couldn't complain about anyone. It's just unexpected, Han Wen actually exchanged 30 million taels of gold for 10 million taels of gold to save her sister, it feels like she had already made this plan, and inviting everyone to come today is just to inform her.
"Don't move, don't move. Child, pay attention to the child. "Da Zhou didn't have the courage to provoke the Jun family, and he couldn't stop Han Wen's decision, all he could do was to appease and constantly appease his angry wife.
The world became quiet, but soon, a commotion came in from outside.
The four people who went out worked together to bring in a tall masked man in black, who was a man and had extraordinary skills, otherwise Liu Changnan and the four of them would have spent a lot of time to arrest them.
Everyone's attention was on the man in black, and what had just happened became less important for a while.
Liu Mowen clapped his hands and sat on the table with his buttocks, vulgar and indecent just did it naturally, and his tone was also rare and feminine. "I'm tired of my mother, this guy can really run, chase to the foot of the mountain and catch it. I don't know what to eat to grow up, and it's too bullying to have such a developed leg force. β
"can make you chase so hard, this person's origin is not simple. Han Wen laboriously pulled the feather arrow on the pillar, and after pulling it for a while, the little strength was pitiful, and the feather arrow was nailed to the top, as if it had taken root and did not move. She slapped her head in frustration. Stupid, wouldn't it be nice to take down the letter at the end of the arrow.
"What's written on it?" Huaqi also wanted to see it, but after reading it, Han crumpled the letter and threw it on the head of the man in black.
"Is he still alive?" Han Wen ignored Hua Qi and walked over to the man in black and asked Liu Changnan.
Liu Changnan was searching his body and found a delicate bow and crossbow from the man in black, "It's not dead, we hurt his ribs, and there is no way to run anymore." It seems that he has been lurking around us secretly. β
Han Wen took the bow and crossbow, looked at the feather arrows that were shot, and sighed: "The other party is really trustworthy, and he said that he would give the news today, but I don't like this method of transmitting the message." β
Everyone rolled their eyes in their hearts: no one liked it.
"This man is a professional killer. Liu Changnan took out a red pill the size of a mung bean from the mouth of the man in black and threw it to Liu Mowen.
"Dove poison, good thing. This thing can't be bought in the ordinary market, and the underground black market only has resources. But it is also an extremely rare poison. Liu Mowen touched the red pill, suddenly became interested, and said with his eyebrows fluttering: "This thing is in the top ten on the poison list, and the price is ridiculously high, and few people can afford it." β
She said it with relish, and others trembled when they heard it.
"Come on, come on, let's see what he really is. She jumped off the table in excitement, walked over and crouched down to tear off the masked face of the man in blackβa sharpened face that was exposed to everyone's eyes.
Seeing the true face, everyone reacted differently, especially Han Wen and Liu Changnan, as well as the concubine Rong. The first two just raised their eyebrows, their expressions were calm, and the latter's expression flashed with horror, and his slender figure trembled imperceptibly, and then regained his composure, but the fingers under the luxurious wide sleeves pinched the palms, and quickly pinched the blood.
Han Wenxin threw the bow and crossbow in his hand and said to Liu Changnan: "Bring in the home remedies, and I will try it for the first time." After a pause, he said to Jun Bai again: "Your Highness doesn't mind if I try it first." β
Jun Bai closed his eyes: "Please take care of yourself." β
That means it's gone, isn't it?
Han Wen smiled, his eyes crooked like a crescent moon, "Don't ask, Anan, let's go, the interrogator will go." She lifted her feet and walked into the side hall, as if she was in a good mood, and walked brightly. At the end, half of his body entered the side hall, but he suddenly turned his head and gave everyone a bright smile: "Please make a corroboration to everyone present, catch the bad guys, and ask something to share with you." Otherwise, someone will cover me with a black pot in the future, and my body and bones that have just recovered from a serious illness will not be able to withstand the blow. β
β.......β
Share?black pot?blow?
The eldest lady was dropped, right? It's not familiar at all!
Everyone thinks that she is probably stupid, stupid for her sister.
