Chongzhen has been worried lately!

My hair is turning white!

The rogues in Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places make him troublesome from time to time, the border guards play rebellion at every turn, and there are countless homeless people waiting to be fed, and the most depressing thing is that the silver is getting less and less!

Others traveled to ancient times, either eating fragrant and drinking spicy food, or meeting beautiful women in private visits every day, and he was worried about silver every day.

Plainly!

Or his various policies have not been fully implemented, and during this time, he relied on raiding his house every day, and the eunuchs violently collected taxes.

Although a lot of money was obtained, relying on these methods to maintain the expenses of a large empire is not a long-term solution after all.

But

What can you rely on if you don't rely on these?

A sound tax system can only be implemented when the country is stable and internal and external troubles are peaceful.

Now Chongzhen is so nostalgic for the electronic tax software of modern society, basically your personal income tax is calculated clearly, a dime is a lot!

Chongzhen has no money now, and the rats in Neiku are dying of hunger, so he can't catch a person and raid his house, right? I can only hope that Zhou Yanru will fight for some anger and get more money back.

By the way, what is Zhou Yanru doing now?

Hangzhou Mansion, Yamen Flower Hall!

It is said to be a flower hall, but this hall is quite simple, it is the original color of wood, and there is no vermilion lacquer carving, it looks like an ordinary ancestral hall.

This is still the official office of the wealthy Hangzhou government, if it is the official office of some poor places, it is really dilapidated and even inferior to the people's houses.

No way!

The local government of the Ming Dynasty was poor!

The local officials of the Ming Dynasty did not like to repair the yamen, and they were better at scooping up the silver in their own private houses.

The flower hall is now silent.

A group of rich and wealthy families are sitting at the table as if they are constipated, holding a pen and writing something

And Zhou Yanru, the mediocre official who is best at patting sycophants and servile in front of Chongzhen every day, has now changed his flattering expression.

He was sitting on the Taishi's chair, with a serious face, and there was still a plain and half-flattering appearance

Minutes and seconds passed.

Zhou Yanru looked around and said coldly, "It's time, you can hand it in if you're done writing or not!" ”

"Yes!" The rich and wealthy families had no choice but to respond.

Then these people were like elementary school students handing in their homework, one by one they took the paper and handed it to Zhou Yanru, and then honestly returned to their seats and waited for the trial.

Zhou Yanru picked them up one by one and looked at them carefully, he looked very slowly, and his expression was quite serious, which made the hearts of these rich families tremble.

"Huh!"

Zhou Yanru finally spoke up, he smiled and said, "What you have done is simply an eye-opener for someone Zhou!" I thought you were just tax evasion, smuggling or something, but it turned out that "

What the result is

The rich and wealthy families are as anxious as a cat's paws, they want to know the result, but they are afraid to know the result, and they are simply entangled.

Zhou Yanru's voice was extremely cold, "For the petty crime of tax evasion, the official will no longer be verbose, anyway, the official has evidence here." Let's talk about something else!"

"Qian Aichang, Wu Zhongyong!"

Zhou Yanru suddenly shouted:

"During the Apocalypse, you fell in love with the Pan family in Changhua County, and the two of you colluded with the Pan family regardless of morality and shame, in order to achieve the goal of long-term possession of the Pan family, the two of you poisoned and killed dozens of people in the Pan family, but there is such a thing."

Qian Aichang and Wu Zhongyong were stunned!

Holy shit, which bastard poked out such a secret thing about us, bastard!

The two men hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the ghost cried wolf:

"My lord is wronged, although we are not scholars, but we have also been to private school for a few years, and we have also been taught by the saints, how can we do such a bad thing and lose our conscience!"

Zhou Yanru snorted coldly, "I didn't wronged you, what the official said doesn't count, Master Ma, you will quickly detain the Pan family, and you will know as soon as you ask!"

"Yes!" Ma Wencai replied respectfully.

Then he didn't look at these two people, so he sent a dozen wolf-like servants to detain Pan.

Zhou Yanru held a piece of paper in his hand and said by name, "Liu Xijin!"

I saw a thin old man with a goat's beard stand up, and he agreed with trepidation, "The villain Liu Xijin has seen Lord Zhou." ”

Zhou Yanru smiled.

However, this smile was seen in Liu Xijin's eyes, just like a weasel's wicked smile, and he didn't feel good.

Zhou Yanru took a sip of the rain before the dragon well, and said slowly, "Liu Xijin, some people accuse you of being old and lustful. The battle has harmed many women from good families. ”

Shanyang's bearded Liu Xijin breathed a sigh of relief, isn't it just lustful? It is instinct for men to be lustful, and besides, those women are all willing to do it, what are you afraid of

Liu Xijin nodded, "Don't hide it from Lord Zhou, Xiao Lao'er has this hobby, but Xiao Lao'er has never persecuted any women from good families, they are all voluntary." ”

"Really?"

Zhou Yanru sneered, "In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a county commander who went to Xincheng County to take office, and the inner family of this county order was as beautiful as a flower, you had a lustful heart, and someone actually assassinated this county order, and then blamed the thief, and the inner family was secretly captured by you and humiliated to death in every way, but there is such a thing."

The old man Liu Ruojin was stunned.

Qian Aichang knows about this alone, he and Qian Aichang are good friends, this thing dares to be treacherous, hateful, hateful!

The old man also pointed out that the surname Qian poisoned dozens of people, and he deserved it!

And Pan is still alive, just a bit of torture, this woman will recruit anything, and the surname Qian will definitely die.

And the old man

Everyone is dead, there is no proof of death, the old man just needs to grit his teeth and hold on, you Zhou Yanru can help the old man

And the old man must not admit to death, murder officials, and insult officials' wives, this crime ...... It's enough to wipe out the family.

Just think about it!

Liu Ruojin simply stood up and said righteously, "The old man is not guilty, and the old man is willing to be tortured to prove his innocence!"

Liu Ruojin's expression and tone really looked like he had been wronged, and then he had no choice but to use torture to prove his innocence.

Zhou Yanru was just about to speak.

Fang Zhenghua's lazy voice came, "Liu Lao is a tough guy, there are dozens of tortures in the West Factory, there are no blood stars in the West Factory, these torture instruments have not been opened for a long time, you will be there for a while today!" ”

Cramps, peeling

I don't see any blood

What kind of punishment is this Liu Xijin only felt that the egg hurt and the chrysanthemum was tight, and in his limited knowledge, didn't the yamen just spank the ass and clamp his fingers? He gritted his teeth and endured.

But now

Liu Ruojin was confused, but soon he was not confused, and he finally experienced the legendary Xichang punishment!
