Hearing Cui An's words, the head of the Cui family couldn't help frowning and asked unhappily: "You are old in doing things, what is so difficult to do such a simple thing?" ”

Cui An couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Family master, this time, that time!" ”

"The eleven people who are the most reliable in Qinghe County have not resisted anywhere in the King of Shu, and their heads have been cut off today."

"The King of Shu is so brutal, he wants to cut off people's heads at every turn, and under this cusp, I'm afraid I can't find anyone!"

Hearing this, the head of the Cui family also fell silent.

It's good that money can make ghosts grind.

But if you have money, you have to have a life to spend it.

If even a small life is gone, what is the use of more money?

The King of Shu beheaded eleven splashes in public today, presumably this is the plan, right?

Thinking of this, the head of the Cui family couldn't help but say: "In that case, then use the family dead!" ”

"Remember, when they walk out of the Cui family, they are no longer members of the Cui family. I'd rather not be able to do it than implicate the Cui family. ”

"Yes, Master!"

……

Businessman Zhao Liu, some time ago, was also killed and lost his shop.

Today, seeing the King of Shu trying the case in public, and also encouraging those who have been wronged to go and report the case, this made his heart uncontrollable.

With the King of Shu here, maybe he can really redress his grievances and take back his shop?

Zhao Liu moved his mind, couldn't help but wrap a leather jacket, and walked towards the courtyard where the King of Shu stayed.

However, as soon as he walked out of the street and came to the corner, Zhao Liu suddenly saw four people walking towards him.

These four people were dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, but they acted vigorously, and their bodies showed a fierce aura.

Zhao Liu's heart moved, these people could definitely not be ordinary people.

What made Zhao Liu even more shocked was that these four people actually greeted him.

Worst!

This must be someone from the Cui family, who wants to kill people and kill people!

Zhao Liu was terrified, turned around and fled.

But these four people have been planning for a long time, where will Zhao Liu be allowed to escape?

Zhao Liu hadn't escaped ten steps away, and he had already been caught up by the four of them.

The two people on the left and right held Zhao Liu, and a cold dagger had already cut through his leather jacket.

Sen Han's dagger blade was against Zhao Liu's waist.

The slight stinging pain made Zhao Liu's cold hairs stand up in fright.

"If you want to live, don't shout, follow us obediently!"

"Yes, yes, you uncles spare your lives!"

"Shut up!"

“……”

Of these four people, two people were holding Zhao Liu, and the other two, one in front of the other, turned around and walked towards a small alley.

Another place around the corner.

They had just turned around when they suddenly heard a few small sounds of breaking through the air.

Laugh at!

Laugh at! Laugh at!

The four people who kidnapped Zhao Liu were hit by arrows, and the four people couldn't help but fall to the ground together.

However, most of the parts where they were hit by arrows were thighs and arms, which were not fatal.

The shooting of crossbow arrows only makes them incapacitated, not kills.

"Humph! The prince had long expected that someone would make a mistake, so he had already guarded against you! Take them all! ”

As for Zhao Liu, he was naturally brought back.

When it comes to this kind of thing, even if he doesn't want to report the crime, he can't do it.

These people were naturally sent out by Li Su at the behest of Xue Rengui.

In Li Su's hands, there is a list of bankrupt businessmen.

Li Su has long been on guard against the Cui family's troublemakers.

The facts were not unexpected by Li Su, the Cui family really sent someone to stop them, and then he was like a god, and he took them all.

As for those who came to complain, Li Su did not accept it personally.

As a messenger, there is no reason why everything needs to be bowed to in person.

Moreover, there are so many people that he can't keep busy.

It's just that people can record it all.

The rest of the matter is to follow the map, arrest people, and investigate.

On the second day, Li Su began to try these cases in person.

And Li Su was the first to try the cases of those bankrupt businessmen.

And this day's trial made the people around Li Su have a heavier respect for Li Su.

It turns out that the case can still be tried like this!

It turns out that this method can also be used!

This makes them completely have a kind of rush to learn and live to be old!

Of course, in fact, the methods used by Li Su are not complicated.

The first is psychological warfare.

Like yesterday, such a hard skin hob meat, in front of this king, can only be obedient.

Do you think yourselves stronger than they are?

Also, which eleven people are guilty of great sins, but they do not take the initiative to confess.

Therefore they were all beheaded by this king.

Do you think that the sword of steel of this king is not good enough to cut off your heads?

Under this kind of psychological offensive, those whose psychological quality is not high are basically abandoned.

And the King of Shu's mind is very delicate, if he dares to lie in front of him.

With a little bit of a plot, he can deduce whether you are lying or not.

Furthermore, it is to make longitudinal comparisons through the confessions of multiple people.

One thing, as long as it doesn't match the confession, then there must be someone in it who is talking.

Among them, there is also sowing discord.

Deception and inducement, bribery and isolation, all kinds of means, and so on.

On the first day, Li Su easily cracked three major cases.

The three merchants who were forced to transfer their shops not only repossessed their shops as they wished, but also received compensation from the imperial court.

The next day, three large shops that were opening were involved.

Through the interrogation of their accounts and accounts, their tax evasion was discovered.

Even, these three can't be said to have evaded taxes, but they have not paid a word of commercial tax!

This is enough to prove that there is a serious problem of malfeasance in the commercial tax department of Qinghe County.

Therefore, Li Su directly took this as the head of the commercial tax department.

Not only that, Li Su will also publicize all the daily cases.

Let all the people of Qinghe County see it.

At this time, Cui He couldn't help but sigh.

Qinghe County Commercial Tax Department, it's over!

And they don't have the slightest way to do it, because everything is under the control of the king of Shu.

As for the three merchants, because they were involved in the case, they also designed tax evasion, the shops were sealed, and the property was directly confiscated.

Day 3, Day 4, Day 5......

Every day, there will be further progress in the case.

Every day, more serious problems can be discovered.

It took a whole month for the entire Qinghe County problem to be completely over.

And the officials of the entire Qinghe County, from top to bottom, were almost wiped out.

And it is conclusive and irrefutable.

These officials were all escorted to Beijing to wait for the emperor's fate.

The officials who filled their vacancies were also quickly mobilized.

Qinghe Cui's family, because the beginning and end are handled very well.

Which big businessmen, although they were punished, there was no way to blame the Cui family.

On the contrary, those merchants who pay taxes are basically businesses directly linked to the Cui family.

Although they also had a certain degree of tax evasion, Li Su did not severely punish them, but only ordered them to make up the taxes and fines.

But in fact, many businesses that have been investigated and dealt with by Li Su or even directly confiscated are all the secret industries of the Cui family.

This time, the Cui family can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

Especially the officials from top to bottom in Qinghe County, they are either descendants of the Cui family, or they were bought by them.

And now, he was almost cleaned up by the King of Shu at one time.

This time, the officials who came over with the air conditioner had nothing to do with their Cui family.

The Cui family wants to buy them again, and they don't know how much money and time they have to pay.

The problem is that after this incident, the eyes of the imperial court are bound to be attracted here.

Can he, Cui's family, still cover the sky with one hand here as before?

The case of Qinghe County and the results of the handling were reported to the world.

This time, the commercial tax that Qinghe County missed was 260,000 yuan!

That's four or five times more than the taxes they paid!

Almost all the officials of the county were scared out of a cold sweat.

King Shu is really too fierce.

Qinghe County is the base camp of the Qinghe Cui clan.

Will their hands and feet be worse than they do?

However, even they can't escape the palm of the King of Shu!

They, I'm afraid, even worse!

And then, the king of Shu kept going, continued to the next state and county, and showed his skills again.

In this state, the county guard also concealed the report, trying to hide it.

However, their methods are much worse than those of Qinghe County.

Li Su, the king of Shu, directly took the transportation data from the Ministry of Railways and where the freight station was.

Based on this data, it is possible to deduce how much tax they have stolen.

Then, the commercial tax officials in this state are still from top to bottom, all the way to the end.

At this point, the state and county officials of the entire Tang Dynasty are really scared.

This King of Shu is really as wise as a torch.

All the tricks, in front of him, there is nothing to hide.

At this time, the emperor made a will.

All commercial tax officials, as long as they can make up the difference, can not be blamed for the past.

If there is an unjust, false or wrongly decided case, as long as it is truthfully reported, leniency may also be sought.

As long as it is not deliberately harmful, at least there is a grace period for downgrading.

But if you resist to the end, you will be embarrassed, and when the time comes, you can only bother the king of Shu and personally go to their place of governance.

The emperor accepted the proposal of the king of Shu to set up letters and visits offices in various states and counties.

The Letters and Visits Office directly belongs to the Ministry of Letters and Visits, and the Ministry of Letters and Visits is responsible to the emperor alone.

The Ministry of Letters and Visits has no real power, nor does it have the right to interfere in local government affairs.

But he can, and the grievances of the people can be heard directly to heaven.

The Letters and Visits Office can be said to be a department that uses ordinary people to supervise hundreds of officials.

But this department itself has no real power.

It can be said that it is a giant sword chosen on the heads of corrupt officials.

The establishment of the Letters and Visits Office can be said to be a stroke of genius for officials in the court.

The emperor was full of praise for this proposal of the King of Shu.

Of course, in fact, only Li Su himself knows.

No matter how good the policy is, no matter how good the department is, if it belongs to management, there is no supervision and no checks and balances.

In the end, it's just a formality.

But the oversight sector itself is the crux of the problem.

The overseers themselves are a place of detachment, and who will supervise them?

Set up another oversight department?

But the newly established departments are also lacking in oversight.

I haven't found a good solution to this problem in later generations, let alone Datang at this time.

Li Su believes that with a small number of young people, the Letters and Visits Office is afraid that it will be bribed by local officials and reduced to an ornament.

However, in the early days of its establishment, the Letters and Visits Office played a huge role.

The officials of the Letters and Visits Office are directly responsible to their superiors and the emperor, and they claim to be protégés of the Son of Heaven.

What is called an upright one, so that all the magistrates are afraid of them.

It is precisely because of the establishment of the Letters and Visits Office that many officials in charge of commercial taxation have chosen to turn themselves in.

Anyway, the emperor said that those who turn themselves in can get leniency.

Until the end of the year, the supplementary commercial tax was transported to the capital.

After supplementing it, it was found that this year's tax revenue was more than twice that of last year, almost tripling.

And because of the establishment of the Letters and Visits Office, the officials at the bottom have suddenly become much more honest.

The phenomenon of reaching out to eat and taking cards has been reduced by at least ninety percent.

For those merchants, these expenses have been reduced, although the commercial tax has doubled, but their expenses have been reduced a lot, and their profits are higher than in previous years.

And their status has really improved.

This also led to the fact that although the commercial tax was raised, the merchants of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Instead of cursing and resenting the reform of commercial taxes, they became extremely supportive.

So far, the first change carried out by the King of Shu has been a complete success.

……

Before you know it, another year is going to pass.

But this time, they are going to spend the New Year in Chang'an City.

For those little ones who were born in Yizhou and have been growing up in Yizhou, they are really uncomfortable for a while.

However, children are playful.

After Li Su gave them a toy each, they were very happy.

I don't want to go back to Yizhou for the New Year.

What Li Su gave them was an electric toy car per person, the kind that can be controlled remotely.

Then, Li Baoyu, this guy, was playing outside with a small stone.

Li Baoyu held the remote control in his hand and remotely controlled the car to run around, front and back, left and right.

The children who gathered around the side were envious when they saw such a fun toy.

drooling, and asked Li Baoyu where he bought this toy.

Li Baoyu couldn't help but say proudly: "This toy was given to me by my father, so I can't buy it outside!" ”

"Why, can you let us play for a while?"

Li Baoyu parked his chest, looked around proudly, and then saw a cute little girl.

Immediately pointed at her and said, "Oh, this little lady, it's okay." As for you, let's talk about it later! ”

The little girl immediately asked in surprise, "Really?" Can I really play with you? ”

Li Baoyu smiled and said, "Of course it's true!" Come, come, wait for the little rock to come down, and you can sit on it and try it! ”

As a result, at this moment, a passing young man couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this remote-controlled electric car.

Then, taking advantage of the unpreparedness, he ran over and snatched the remote control from Li Baoyu's hand with a whoosh.

Then run in front of the stopped electric remote control car, pick up the small rock, hold the electric remote control car and run.

Xiaoshi and Li Baoyu were both frightened and cried.

The few guards who were responsible for the safety of Li Baoyu when he was a child were also taken aback, and they didn't expect that in Chang'an, there would be someone so bold.

Just now, I was just negligent for a while, and I actually came out of such a big basket.

Fortunately, the two little masters are fine, otherwise, they really don't have a pity to die.

They stopped by Xiaoshi and Li Baoyu, lest someone would be unfavorable to them.

Little Stone is still crying for his toy electric car.

However, those guards, afraid that something would happen to the two little masters, hurriedly sent them to the mansion first.

When Li Su heard this, his nose was about to be crooked.

Who is so bold?

Dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head?

In Datang, if he Shu doesn't bully others, others should be secretly happy.

Unexpectedly, someone actually bullied him!

Li was furious, and hurriedly sent someone to track down the real culprit, and he must arrest him.

The two little sons of the Shu Wangfu almost had an accident, and this incident shocked the entire Chang'an City at once.

In the coming New Year, someone dared to touch the prince of Shu Wangfu, haven't they ever died?

Then, the entire city defense of Chang'an City was alarmed.

They almost hate the murderer now.

If the murderer can't be caught today, I'm afraid that all of them won't have good fruit to eat.

Fortunately, the murderer seemed to be a stupid thief, and he didn't even know to hide the traces.

Soon they followed the map and found the whereabouts of the murderer according to the instructions of passers-by.

That thief ended up going to the scientific research department.

Now that you've found a place, it's much easier to do anything.

However, the Ministry of Scientific Research is an independent department directly under the emperor.

Even if the scientific research department is traced, they will not dare to trespass.

Eventually, they reported the news to Li Su, the king of Shu.

Li Su directly led people to break into the scientific research department, and no one dared to stop him.

In the scientific research department, Li Su quickly found the thief.

That thief, Li Yu still knows, is actually his disciple Di Renjie.

When Li Su arrived, Di Renjie was dismantling the remote control and was conducting curious research.

Ooh!

Co-authoring, this is a weird guy who grabs children's toys!

He's just here for a remote-controlled toy car.

Seeing Di Renjie's frowns, he looked puzzled.

Li Su really wanted to knock him to the ground and rub him hard.

It's a bit of an adult, isn't it?

It's so good that you grab children's toys?

If you really want to see it, can't you ask the master directly?

Li asked with a straight face, "You snatched my son's toy?" Scared them out of their minds? ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Di Renjie discovered Li Su's existence.

Di Renjie couldn't help but say with a face full of shame: "Master, the disciple was all focused on the toy car at that time, and he didn't recognize it for a while, it was the master's son. ”

Li asked with a dark face, "Do you know them?" ”

"Uh, this, ahem, I don't know ......"

Look, is this all human language?

As a disciple of this king, he didn't even know what his son looked like.

It can be seen how many times this disciple usually comes to the door!

In the past few years, Di Renjie has not stayed in Yizhou.

Rather, because of the research on a new type of combat vehicle, he was seconded to the Chang'an side.

And in the past few years, this guy will not come to the door easily.

The more Li Su thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

"Look, look at you, you don't even know the son of the teacher! You're going to grab it? ”

"Besides, even if it's not the son of a teacher, it's not another child?"

"How can anyone rob a child? Can we still have a face? The face of the teacher has been lost by you! ”

As soon as he spoke, Di Renjie's face turned red.

"Master, didn't I see this remote-controlled car and feel very curious? The apprentice still hasn't figured out how such a gadget can complete the remote control! ”

Li Su couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you think that this kind of thing that you haven't even seen and can't understand the principle of, who can take it out?" ”

"Just ask you the whole Datang, who else? If you want to see it, can you ask the teacher directly? As for the robbery? ”

Di Renjie muttered: "Isn't the apprentice afraid that the master won't give it!" ”

Li Yu said even more angrily: "In your mind, is the teacher such a stingy person? An electric remote control car is reluctant to give you? ”

Di Renjie cringed and said, "However, the master's previous camera, and the kind of thing that can be played, the master has never shown it to me!" ”

Ooh!

This guy is still picking on it?

Li Su couldn't help but say angrily: "Do you think the master is hiding his secrets?" That's because at that time, even if you show it, you can't grasp it at all. ”

"Take this remote control, right? Do you think it's easy? You must first master the power of the transistor, which also has a converter, a signal transmitter, and a signal receiver. ”

"Wait, wait, these are some very complicated things, and with your current level of technology, there is no way to make them for the time being."

Hearing Li Su's words, Di Renjie was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Why is the master able to make such an advanced thing?" ”

Li Su was also silent for a moment, and then said, "Because I am your master!" I ask you, don't say it's this electric toy car. It is the train that the master first made, can it be made with your current level of science and technology? ”

Di Renjie couldn't help but shake his head.

That's right, with their ability to build a steam engine locomotive right now.

But it is impossible to make a locomotive that is as exquisite and flawless as Li Su's one and whose speed can reach such a height.

The locomotive, the master is real, he took it out more than ten years ago.

But they still can't make it.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

Then, Di Renjie couldn't help but say to Li Su: "Master, by the way, my research here in Chang'an has ended." ”

"After the Chinese New Year, I will go back to Yizhou. This time, Yizhou's side has already developed a TV set. Moreover, they have already sent samples over and want the master to give some advice. ”
