After returning to the courtyard, Xue Rengui and Li Yuanfang, one left and one right, guarded on both sides of Li Su.

Xue Rengui asked excitedly, "Your Highness, do you want to act now?" ”

Li Su shook his head slightly, and then said to Li Yuanfang: "Yuanfang, order them to keep an eye on people. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

After returning to the room, Li Su couldn't help frowning and thinking hard.

Xu Hui quietly walked behind Li Su, stretched out her soft hair and pinched Li Su's shoulder.

"Husband, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Li Su sighed and said, "Before coming, Fujun still underestimated the energy of these families! ”

Xu Hui couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, with the information we have, isn't it enough to convict them?" ”

Li Su smiled bitterly: "Today, I carefully looked through the account book. Although he knew that it was a false account, he was made by them seamlessly. ”

At that time, Sicang joined the army Zhao Yi, and when he saw that Li Su just looked through the account book casually, he threw it aside.

didn't even let the bookkeeper next to him check the accounts at all, which made Zhao Yi puzzled.

What he didn't know was that in fact, Li Su himself was the most powerful audit master in Datang.

Which people around Li Su were trained by him.

And Li Su seems to be just flipping through it, but in fact, the real accounts and fake accounts are clear at a glance.

If there is fraud in the accounts, although it is impossible for Li Su to see the difference in numbers at a glance, he can definitely tell whether the accounts are false or not.

But after a glance, Li Su found that these ledgers were all true.

Of course, these accounts are actually fake.

It may seem contradictory, but it's actually a very simple thing.

Really, it's the numbers on the accounts, and there's not the slightest falsification on them.

Fake, in fact, there are a lot of accounts, and there are no accounts at all.

So if you just audit the ledger, you won't be able to find anything at all.

Of course, in fact, Li Su was laying out as early as after the commercial tax reform.

also sent people early to secretly keep all kinds of information on mobile phones.

Now in Li Su's hands, he has some evidence of tax evasion.

But according to the analysis of the news transmitted back in the past two days, Li Su felt that eighty percent of these evidences had been destroyed by them.

The remaining one or two percent, it really can't be done, and it can be pushed to those businesses.

When the time comes, as long as they break their arms, they can punish the merchants.

They don't really have much to lose.

And if it is really dealt with like this, Li Su can be said to be a complete defeat.

If it is unfavorable, other states and counties can naturally follow suit.

It will be more difficult to find out what in the future.

Reform is really hard step by step!

This is only a small reform in the commercial tax.

If you want to implement the equalization system and spread the land into the mu, the resistance you face will be more than 100 times greater than this.

After hearing Xu Hui's inquiry, Li Su couldn't help but tell her about the current problems.

After Xu Hui heard this, she couldn't help frowning.

This matter is really difficult to deal with!

This is the base camp of the Qinghe Cui clan, and they have turned Qinghe County into an iron bucket.

Here they can eliminate too much evidence and traces.

If Li Su wants to win here, the difficulty is not ordinary.

After thinking for a while, Li Su said in a cold voice: "Qinghe County is the first stop I chose!" This battle must be won! And also to win pretty! ”

"Qinghe Cui's is it? You have a good plan, I have a room ladder! Since you are doing this, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Xu Hui couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Your Highness, if you go on a killing spree, will you be tongue-in-cheek?" ”

Li Su smiled and said, "Hui'er, you can rest assured, you have your own sense of proportion for your husband!" ”

"By the way, which of the shops that they renovated and ruined, can they still be contacted now?"

Xu Hui said: "Of course, a large part of these stores were closed and transferred by them. There are still a small number of people who do not cooperate, and the families that are rectified by them are ruined, but not the whole family is dead. However, there are still people who are still being held in prison. ”

"These people can be contacted now. If you want to see them, we can find them quickly. ”

Li Su then asked, "Hui'er, do you think that if I let these merchants come out to complain, will they show up?" ”

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Huicai said: "Husband, I think, unless those merchants are ruined. The vast majority of other people don't dare to come out and cry out for injustice, right? ”

"As long as they are still living in Qinghe, they have to be afraid of the revenge of the Cui clan in Qinghe!"

Li Su snorted coldly and said: "In Qinghe, the Cui family is more majestic than the imperial power!" Don't they dare? Which king will give them this courage! ”

"Hui'er, among these ruined businesses, you are looking for the one with the worst nature. Then bring their families to me. ”

"Yes, husband, I'll do it."

With that, Xu Huiying got up and walked out.

However, there was a hint of a smile on her face, and she looked a little cunning.

……

That night, a young girl was brought into the study.

"Liu Qin, this is the King of Shu, if you have any grievances, just say it."

"People's daughter Liu Qin, meet the prince! I hope that the prince can do justice, avenge my parents, and rescue my brother from prison! Woooooooooooooooo ”

This woman named Liu Qin, wearing a filial piety dress, knelt on the ground at this time, kowtowing more than once.

seems to have been sad to the extreme, whimpering, like a cuckoo crying blood, people can't help but follow the sadness when they hear it.

Xu Hui, who brought her in, couldn't help wiping her tears.

Li Su sighed, and then said to Xu Hui: "Hui'er, quickly help people up." ”

Xu Hui stepped forward, helped Liu Qin up, and then said to her softly: "Lady, if you don't explain what happened to the prince, how can the prince make the decision for you?" ”

Hearing Xu Hui's consolation, Liu Qin stood up with a sob.

Then Xu Hui personally moved a chair for her to sit down and handed her a handkerchief.

At this time, Li Su saw Liu Qin's appearance clearly.

This little girl is only fourteen or fifteen years old.

It's good looking.

In terms of appearance, it is inferior to Xu Hui.

But the so-called women should be pretty and filial.

Wearing a filial piety dress, his eyes are red, and his eyelashes are full of tears.

But it can be the largest, so that the man can't help but have a desire to protect and care for her.

Li Su asked softly: "Miss Liu Qin, you said that you have a grievance, I don't know what happened, you might as well tell me and listen to it!" ”

Liu Qin nodded and said, "The Minnu's family was originally a family of four. The folk daughter, her parents, and her brother, and the family relied on the tea shop, but they also had no worries about food and clothing. ”

"Just a few months ago, the imperial court launched a reform, and the merchant tax rose to 10 taxes, but at the same time, the status of merchants also improved."

"Grandpa Grandpa was very happy to hear the news. Although the commercial tax has risen, the income of the shop is not bad, but the profit is lower. ”

"However, from now on, our identity will be the same as ordinary people!"

"Grandpa Niang also said that my brother will be able to marry a wife normally from now on, and the people's daughters and daughters can also find a good mother-in-law."

Speaking of this, Liu Qin's voice lowered, and his face flushed slightly.

As for Li Su and Xu Hui, the two couldn't help but glance at each other and nodded slightly.

It turned out that although the commercial tax rose this time, there were still businessmen who were willing to accept it.

Shinong industry and commerce, the status of businessmen is at the end, only above the actors.

However, now the status of the drama has improved.

Which film and television celebrities have a higher status than some readers.

The status of their businessmen is basically the lowest level.

And with this reform, the status of businessmen has been greatly improved, directly like ordinary people.

Many businessmen are grateful to Dade and grateful for this.

As for which taxes are overpaid, for most businessmen, it is acceptable.

I heard Miss Liu Qin continue: "But shortly after that, a big incident happened in my family. ”

Hearing this, Li Su and Xu Hui were shocked, and they also wanted to hear how the four surnamed Liuwang and the officials of Qinghe County were corrupt and disregarded people's lives!

"Splashing Niu Er, I found a beggar who was dying out of nowhere, and threw it into our tea shop. Not long after, the beggar died. ”

Then Niu Er lied to us, insisting that this beggar was his distant cousin. His cousin died in our shop, and he was killed by our family. ”

"People died in my shop, and we can't tell if we have mouths. Grandpa Niang is also afraid that the impact will be bad, and if it is spread out, I am afraid that it will ruin the business of the tea shop. ”

"Therefore, I am willing to pay a sum of money to the pranky Niu Er in private, so that he will not be quiet, and the matter will be private."

"Unexpectedly, the two lions opened their mouths, and they insisted that they wanted our tea shop, and they also wanted the people's daughter to marry him."

Naturally, Grandpa Niang refused to agree, and was only willing to give him a sum of money. But this Niu Er will not let go, and he has to ask for a tea shop and marry me. ”

Brother was angry, so he beat Niu Er, and then Niu Er sued the government directly. Then my brother was arrested as a murderer, and my family's tea shop was also confiscated by the government, and the family property was confiscated. ”

"Auntie and Grandpa, she was angry to death, and only the folk girl was left, lonely and helpless, and there was nowhere to complain. Woooooooooooooooo ”

"If the adult can avenge the hatred of the grandmother and the grandfather, and can rescue the elder brother, the little woman is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the prince's great kindness, and the little woman will follow the prince from now on and serve the prince for the rest of her life!"

"Ahem!"

Liu Qin's words choked Li Zhen and coughed.

In ancient times, there was really nothing wrong with saving one's life and repaying oneself.

But Li Su doesn't like to come to this set.

In particular, the king's wife is by his side.

It is estimated that this Liu Qin thinks that Xu Hui personally brought her in and moved a chair for her, treating her as a maid, right?

Li Su couldn't help but say to Liu Qin: "Miss Liu Qin, if you live in this courtyard, this case will be verified by the king." As long as you verify that what you say is the truth, this king will handle it impartially and give you justice. ”

Liu Qin said faintly: "The folk girl thanked the prince first!" ”

Li Su waved his hand, and his own maid led Liu Qin down.

After Liu Qin went down, Li Su couldn't help but glance at Xu Hui.

Both of them saw a look of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Both of them believed that this matter must have been instructed by Qinghe Cui behind his back.

But they are cunning.

Even if you know that it is extortion, there is not much evidence to prove it.

Even the government's punishment can't find much of a problem.

What makes them even more helpless is that this case, even if it is investigated, has little to do with commercial taxes.

However, they are using these means to make this year's commercial tax greatly reduced through continuous tax evasion and tax evasion.

What a good idea!

Xu Hui couldn't help but sigh and said, "Your Highness, even if this case is investigated, it has nothing to do with the commercial tax case!" ”

Li Su smiled coldly and said: "Hui'er, don't worry, this case will definitely have something to do with commercial taxes!" ”

"In this way, you find all the cases of family destruction and death, and let them all come to me for redress."

"Yes, husband."

Early the next morning, there were survivors of ten broken shops who came to the courtyard where Li Su was staying to cry out for grievances.

was arranged by the Governor of Qinghe, obviously to protect the safety of the patrol envoys, but in fact to monitor the patrol envoys' every move, which officers and soldiers couldn't help but be taken aback.

Hurriedly drove these people away.

But at this time, Li Yuanfang stood up, stopped them, and called all these people who redressed their grievances in.

These officers and soldiers couldn't help but secretly complain.

Isn't there someone watching these damned grievance claimants?

How do you get them out?

And also alarmed the patrol envoys, and called them all in?

They didn't dare to slack off, and promptly told Cui He, the governor of Qinghe, about this matter.

When Cui He learned the news, he was surprised, but he wasn't too scared.

These cases, they have already dealt with the beginning and the end.

Which splashes have long been silenced by them.

As long as they insist on not saying it, all cases are ironclad cases, and there is no possibility of committing a crime at all.

Cui He still has a certain degree of confidence in which cheeky mouths are playful.

Therefore, although I don't know what means this inspector used, he actually found so many people in such a short period of time.

But as long as there is nothing wrong with the case, let him toss it.

……

A piece of news that soon caused a sensation throughout Qinghe County.

The inspection envoy sent by the imperial court, His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, took over eleven cases of killing people.

And after three days, the trial will be open to the public, and at that time, everyone will be able to watch.

This news made the entire Qinghe County begin to boil.

Li Su, the king of Shu, has created countless miracles and is an almost god-like existence.

Up to now, in the hook column, there is still a joke about the trial of the King of Shu!

Unexpectedly, three days later, they would be able to feast their eyes and see the King of Shu trial again.

And the trials are all homicide cases that have already been decided.

This news caught Cui He, the governor of Qinghe County, and others off guard.

These eleven murder cases were actually concocted by them behind their backs.

Of course, they didn't just do 11 cases.

It's just these eleven cases, and the victims' families are ruined.

Of course, they weren't prepared to do this.

But when it comes to implementation, mistakes are inevitable.

Someone killed someone is also a trouble for them, but it is not unsolvable.

And now, the king of Shu not only took over the murder case of these eleven people, but also had to hear it publicly three days later.

This couldn't help but make the entire Qinghe Cui clan gasp.

Did the King of Shu master something? An open trial?

The scoundrels arrested by the King of Shu are, of course, the murderers they are looking for, and they are all local ruffians.

But these people are all hob meat, and their mouths are very tight.

In three days, is the King of Shu really sure that he will be able to pry their mouths open?

And is it still a public trial?

Qinghe Cui's family, for a while, couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in the gourd of King Shu.

But right now, it's hard for them to get started.

And which scoundrels, they know extremely limited things, even if they pry their mouths open, it is just a human life lawsuit.

It can't be involved in business taxes at all, let alone their Qinghe Cui family.

Therefore, although the Cui family is a little worried, they are not very afraid.

……

At this time, the people around Li Su didn't feel anything.

The prince has never been uncertain about the battle.

Since the prince wants to do this, then he must be completely sure.

But Xu Hui was worried.

"Husband, if the trial is open, what if they don't confess after three days? Or did they confess and then repent? ”

"There are so many onlookers outside, and it's not good to torture to extract confessions, once something goes wrong, I'm afraid it won't end well!"

Hearing Xu Hui's words, Li Su couldn't help but smile and said, "Hui'er don't worry, this king is sure that they won't regret it when the time comes." ”

"These eleven people, even if a few of them might make it through. But it's never possible for everyone to make it through! ”

Xu Hui couldn't help but ask curiously, "Husband, what method do you plan to use to make them confess?" ”

Li Su smiled slightly, and then instructed Li Yuanfang beside him: "Yuanfang, you ordered someone to arrange eleven cells, the kind with good sound insulation, and you can't hear the sound outside at all." ”

Then the windows and doors were all sealed, and there was not a single light to be seen or a sound to be heard. After the arrangement is made, each prisoner is thrown into one room. ”

"No matter how they shout inside, don't pay attention to them, don't say a word. Remember, this is a very important matter, and you must keep an eye on it! ”

Li Yuanfang was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, how long will you keep them?" ”

"Three days."

"Three days? Isn't there a trial in three days? In the past three days, we have not tortured or interrogated them? ”

"After three days, will they confess?"

In Li Yuanfang's opinion, the reason why His Royal Highness stayed for three days was to be interrogated publicly.

They will be interrogated over the course of three days, and after everything has been heard, they will be interrogated publicly.

But now, His Highness has only been held for three days.

When the public interrogation was held three days later, they must have gritted their teeth and refused to admit it.

In this case, His Highness will not be able to end at all?

Hearing Li Yuanfang's questioning, Li Su couldn't help laughing and said, "Yuanfang, just do what I say." These eleven people will definitely not be able to endure it. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Although Li Yuanfang didn't believe it, just three days of detention could make people confess honestly.

I don't think it's useful.

But since His Royal Highness made such an arrangement, Li Yuanfang still did not hesitate to strictly implement Li Su's order.

As for whether it can work, Li Su certainly knows in his heart.

In their view, it was just a simple detention for three days.

In fact, only Li Su knows how cruel this punishment is.

At a time when there is no light at all, you can't hear any sound from the outside world, the sound of your heartbeat, the sound of your stomach and intestines moving, are infinitely amplified.

That absolute silence can drive people crazy.

In more than five days, 99.999 percent of the people will have a nervous breakdown.

Three days, it is estimated that it is enough for people to collapse.

This punishment seems to be a punishment created by ** elements during World War II.

In modern times, there is a laboratory that can achieve 99.99% sound insulation.

It is said that no one can stay inside for more than forty-five minutes.

Of course, in Datang, of course, it is impossible to find such a laboratory.

But three days is enough for them.

Not long after, Li Yuanfang arranged eleven cells according to Li Su's instructions.

These cells, which are already underground, are well controlled in terms of light.

As for the soundproofing, since these are places where heavy prisoners are kept, the soundproofing is also quite good.

Li Yuanfang commanded the soldiers again and blocked all the gaps.

Then Li Yuanfang ordered the soldiers to detain the eleven scoundrels in these eleven secret rooms.

These scoundrels, after they were caught, were still very afraid.

Although they claim to be heroes, they will not frown in the face of life and death.

But now they are facing, after all, it is His Royal Highness the King of Shu!

The unpredictable legends of His Royal Highness the King of Shu made them very afraid.

But now, after His Royal Highness the King of Shu arrested them, he actually just imprisoned them?

Hum!

His Royal Highness the King of Shu, is it actually nothing more than that?

Bang Dang!

Soon, the iron door was brought up from the outside, and the room was plunged into darkness.

And as the iron door closed, it seemed that even the sound was cut out.

There was silence in the room, and only the sound of his own heartbeat could be heard.

However, at this time, these eleven scoundrels actually wanted to laugh in their hearts.

What is this King of Shu doing?

He didn't naively think that they, heroes, would be afraid of the dark, right?

Shut them up in this little dark room, and they will be scared and shivering?

This is also whimsical, right?

Hahahaha, what a laughing person!
