"What do you want to do?"

Zhu Qizhen started Zhang Ning's thinking, and felt that there were too many ways to deal with impeached officials, and there was not only one way to send them to prison.

Yang Rong also looked at Zhang Ning with anticipation, and he only now understood why Yang Shiqi was full of praise for this fifteen-year-old boy, so many wonderful ideas are rare in the world.

Zhang Ning smiled and said, "Aren't they opening their eyes for businessmen?" Then let the ministers send someone to investigate, find out the shops in their names, and levy ten times the tax. ”

"Ten times more tax?" Yang Rong smiled and said, "That's good." ”

Now he and Zhang Ning are allies, and the two of them are dressed up in black and white, trying to make more money, no, more taxes.

It's a good feeling.

Encountering such a good thing, Yang Rong's lower back, which has been aching faintly recently, doesn't seem to hurt anymore. He thought that he must live a few more years to see how the treasury was full.

Zhu Qizhen squinted and thought about it, and said with a smile: "It must be interesting." ”

The more fierce the courtiers, the more shops they have, this is an obvious thing. He really wanted to see the expressions on their faces when they heard the news.

Zhang Ning got up and saluted: "Minister, let people check." ”

"Go ahead." Zhu Qizhen nodded. I really wish I could find out quickly and increase their taxes as soon as possible. As for what if they refuse to pay the tax after being fined ten times? If it doesn't exist, compared to going to prison, everyone is willing to pay money.

…………

A list was handed to Jiang Wenju, and after reading the names on the list, he said expressionlessly: "Yes, my lord." ”

I didn't ask why I was looking for any property in these people's names.

Zhang Ning still likes Jiang Wenju's character of only doing things and not talking much, and said, "Hand it in three days." ”

"It doesn't take three days. Wait a minute, and then go to check the roster. ”

"What?" Zhang Ning was puzzled at first, and then suddenly, with the degree of control of the Jinyi Guards over the hundred officials, how could he not find out their net worth clearly? He said, "Okay." ”

Jiang Wen held a ceremony and left, and Zhang Ning drank tea leisurely. I said in the Zhaoren Hall just now that my mouth was dry, and I felt better after drinking three teas in a row.

He put down the teacup, Jiang Wenju also came back, handed over another piece of paper, and said, "My lord, this is all the shops and fertile fields under their names." "As for the antiques and treasures of their storerooms, the agents are not fully aware of them.

"Good." It's efficient. Zhang Ning was very satisfied.

Jiang Wenju bowed expressionlessly and did not say a word.

…………

Since reporting to the owner, Xu Youcai has stopped taking the gangsters and officials seriously, and just now a few gangsters came to ask for silver taels as usual, and he was kicked out.

As long as the owner is willing to make a move, what are you afraid of the gangsters doing?

He hummed a little song he heard from the teahouse in the room, thinking that if Zhou Ping came again, he would beat him out, but unfortunately Zhou Ping only collected taxes once a month, and he couldn't beat him this month, so he could only beat him next month. I wonder if they will dare to come next month? Probably didn't dare, the owner made a move, and the little foreigner was exiled if he didn't fill the army, and he had to go to prison, where did he get it?

He has to be able to come.

He hummed two more songs, and then heard the guy outside say, "Lord Zhou, you ...... Why are you here again? ”

Zhou Ping! He first stood on end, and then he was overjoyed, it's good to come, I wish you could come again, if you dare to come, Lao Tzu will dare to let the owner clean you up. Xu Youcai snatched it out, and sure enough, he saw a person standing in front of the door, dressed in a supplement, his face was calm, and he said: "I have an edict, Chen Ji Buzhuang will charge ten times the business tax, if you don't pay, Kong Yu will be sent to prison immediately." ”

Kong Yu is his owner, the majestic middle-aged man.

Xu Youcai's smile froze on his face, and he felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Zhou Ping said to Xu Youcai, who kept his stride but stayed in place: "Do you want to pay the tax silver?" ”

"......" Xu Youcai looked at him with blank eyes.

"Hey." Zhou Ping shouted, and when he saw that Xu Youcai was like a statue, he said to his entourage: "Ask him." ”

The entourage responded and pushed Xu Youcai, pushing him to a stirring spirit, and said, "What did Lord Zhou say just now?" ”

"Lord Zhou said, if you don't pay taxes, if you don't pay taxes, Jinyiwei will go to get people immediately and send Master Kong Yukong to prison."

Sending the owner to prison? Xu Youcai muttered, "How do you know that Buzhuang belongs to Master Kong?" ”

In order to show disdain and be in the company of copper smell, the owner never refused to let him go over during the day, and he could only sneak to the back door to ask for a meeting, how did Zhou Ping know that he was the owner of Chen Ji Buzhuang?

He said: "Don't talk nonsense, do you pay taxes or not?" ”

"I, didn't the little old man pay it a long time ago?" Xu Youping said in a low voice, the household department is not going to let people live, and I have to talk to the owner when I go back.

He said, "Didn't you hear Lord Zhou's message from His Majesty?" The lords who oppose the payment of taxes will be charged ten times the commercial tax for all the shops under their names. Ah, Chen Ji Buzhuang has added so much. ”

As he spoke, he took out the account book and flipped to a certain page, pointing to a number to show him.

Ten times over! More than two thousand taels! If you kill him, you won't be able to get so much cash. Xu Youcai said with a sad face: "Chen Ji Buzhuang has a small business, how can there be so much silver?" ”

Zhou Ping said: "Your landlord's mansion is there, you can go to your landlord to ask for it, and the official is waiting here." ”

I ask for the owner! The proprietor will definitely drive him out of Chen Ji Buzhuang. Xu Youcai only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and he almost fainted.

…………

"What? Ten times the business tax! The dignified middle-aged man, Kong Yu, the servant of the Criminal Department, changed his face greatly, and he didn't care about reprimanding Xu Youcai, so he came over and said, "Zhou Ping really said that? ”

Xu Youcai burst into tears and said: "He is waiting in Buzhuang, if he can't get the silver today, he will let Jinyiwei come to get people." ”

"Nonsense. How can he command the Jinyi Guard? Besides, if you want to take you, can you use the brocade guard? Kong Yu didn't believe it a hundred. If you want to take a businessman like Xu Youcai, two servants are enough, where can you use Jinyiwei?

Xu Youcai said: "It's you who takes the owner." ”

"Take me?" Kong Yu was even more incredulous, and said, "What are you doing with me for no reason?" Go and tell him that he will extort money without money, and then you will go to Heaven and sue him. ”

Xu Youcai wanted to say something, Kong Yu shouted: "Don't go yet!" ”

Xu Youcai's feet were weak, and he didn't dare to say any more, so he climbed out of the door with a roll.

…………

Zhou Ping did not receive the tax money, so he was not angry, and left calmly with a few relatives.

Xu Youcai didn't expect to send him away so easily, his feet were weak, and he sat down on the ground, only to feel like he was falling apart.

However, an hour later, the little guy in the Confucian Mansion who opened the door for him crawled and said, "Quick, prepare the silver quickly, and redeem the master, who was taken away by the Jinyi guard." ”

Jin Yiwei took away the master! The sky fell. Xu Youcai fainted.
