The camp of iron is beaten by iron, and the official of flowing water.

This camp does not refer to the camp, but to the officials of the camp. When Chongwenmen was transferred to the General Taxation Department and took up his post in the new Taxation Division, several of the tax officials were naturally extremely complimented as in the past.

"Oh, Thirteenth Master, you are an old clan, you are very noble, and the miscellaneous things in this level in the future will be handled by a small one, and you will definitely receive enough money in full, and you will definitely not let your old face fall."

Qin Wenju smiled and complimented.

In the face of his compliment, Qin Wenju smiled and said:

"In this way, there is a clerk of Lao Qin, oh, by the way, the chief tax department wants to ask all the customs to submit last year's account books, I don't know if the account books are ready?"

"The account books are naturally ready, the thirteenth master, please take a look."

Qin Wenju still had a smile on his face.

"Thirteen masters, please see, the quota for our Chongwenmen banknotes was 6.2 million yuan, 54,800 taels of silver, and this year, a total of 3.86 million yuan, 43,800 taels of silver, and 3.12 million ......yuan of money were collected."

Listening to Qin Wenju's report, Zhu Shisan knew that although there was a fixed amount of banknotes, it was still not possible to collect the full amount, which was a normal thing, and even this account book had no effect, because it only needed to record how much tax had been levied, as for the rest...... Can't find anything!

"Why can't we collect enough taxes?"

"Back to the Thirteenth Master, you don't know, there are imperial stores and official stores in Jingshi and Zhangjiawan, which intercept goods from the merchants, although it collects landing taxes, but it still affects the tariff ......"

Without waiting for Qin Wenju to finish speaking, Zhu Shisan threw away the account book in his hand and reprimanded sharply.

"Okay, you Qin Wenju, dare to deceive Zhu like this, do you think you can hide from the world if you are full of private pockets? You only have two taels of official income per month, but you have six houses and one hundred and three shops in Beijing, and there are more than 1,800 acres of fertile land outside the city. ”

"Ahh Thirteenth Master, you, you can't wronged everyone! ”

Qin Wenju immediately shouted excitedly.

"Small, the villain's family is a good official for generations, and he has never been greedy for a penny......"

"Haven't you ever been greedy for ink? So tell me, how did you buy these things? ”

"This, this is the ancestral industry!"

"Fart, don't say that your Qin family is just a tax collector who doesn't enter the stream, even if you are a product of the dynasty, you can't accumulate this family business with your money, if your family is a good official for generations, then I will have no corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty!" Someone is coming, and the punishment is waiting! ”

As soon as his voice fell, a wolf-like attaché over there pounced, knocked Qin Wenju to the ground with a wooden staff, then held him down, waved the wooden staff and pumped it up.

"Smack......

With the sound of the meat canes hitting each other, Qin Wenju's throat let out an extremely miserable scream.

"Thirteen masters, small, villains are wronged......"

"Hit!"

Picking up the teacup, Zhu Shisan said coldly. Ma Pengxi, Li Yue and others on the side were all frightened by the scene in front of them and didn't dare to come out, they were also tax collectors, they were originally just thinking about counting the benefits of this "Thirteen Masters" according to the rules, and they thought that this scene would be staged. This completely turned their perception on its head. Shouldn't the original sedan chair be carried by everyone, and everyone loves it? Why is it that instead of disliking silver, this lord now wants their lives?

No one knows which play is being sung, but everyone knows. The man in front of him is different from the others.

The miserable screams echoed in the closed hall of the banknote gate, and the screams were extremely miserable at first, but slowly the sound became smaller and smaller, looking at Qin Wenju, who had been beaten into rotten meat, the tax collectors in the hall were all frightened and pale.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Yue, who knew that he couldn't hide, pleaded for mercy.

"Ten, thirteen masters, this, this Qin, Qin officials, it's already, it's fast, it's almost gone, also, please ask the thirteenth master to be merciful!"

"Your name is Li Yue! You are your grandfather's generation into the banknote, before and after a total of less than 50 years, tell me, how many things are in your family now? ”

Cold words came out of Zhu Shisan's mouth, and then stared at him and asked.

"You say, this board...... Can you get through it? ”

Before Zhu Shisan's words were finished, as soon as Li Yue's legs weakened, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The thirteenth master spares his life, the thirteenth master spares his life, small, the villain has let the lard blind his heart, go, again, never dare to ...... again"

This will make Li Yue even want to die, he can't keep it, why do he still speak for others?

"Hmph, back ...... What about you? ”

Looking at the people in the hall, Zhu Shisan's eyes swept over them, Ma Pengxi and them all knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy, but there were a few people who were clean.

Seeing that the big guys were all kneeling and begging for mercy, Zhu Shisan just sneered and didn't speak. He sat there with his teacup in hand.

Smack, smack......

Although the sound of the board kept ringing, the screams were long gone, and there was not even the sound of air intake.

No one counted how many boards were played, and even Zhu Shisan didn't say how many he would play.

Is it a hundred, or two hundred?

Finally, the attaché clenched his fists and said.

"Back to the Tax Department, the Qin tax collector can't stand the punishment! He's dead! ”

died, and the faces of the people kneeling on the ground all changed suddenly, and at this moment, they only heard Zhu Shisan say.

"If he is dead, notify his family to collect the body, he is a greedy official, he writes to the court, and asks for a decree to raid the house, and he must not be soft on such a greedy official!"

When they heard this, they immediately prostrated again and begged for mercy.

"Hmph,"

In the face of their pleas for mercy, Zhu Shisan just sneered.

"Your eyelids are quick to see the opportunity, spare you, it's not impossible to ......"

Staring coldly at these tax collectors kneeling in the hall in front of him, Zhu Shisan sneered.

"However, if you can spare it once, you can't spare it twice, and this crime can't be escaped after all, if you want Zhu to let you go, it's not impossible, if you catch your colleagues and accept bribes in the future, you can get rid of the crime, and Zhu will naturally not blame the past! I hope you will do it yourself in the future! ”

Soon, the news that the new tax department of Chongwenmen banknote passed the death of the tax collector spread all over the capital, and it didn't seem to have made any waves, after all, no one would speak to the corrupt officials, and when this kind of thing happened, everyone would do everything possible to get rid of the relationship with him, not to mention just a small official who did not enter the stream, and what was even more annoying was that a small official who did not enter the stream actually accumulated nearly 100,000 taels of family business with two taels of officials, how not to make people frightened, and naturally they were envious, jealous and hateful.
