Chapter 206: You Forced It
Since the last sponsorship fee was given, the Fire Armor Gate of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division has rarely come to the Great Golden Gate to patrol for a long time.
Even if they come, they just stay here for a short time and then leave. It doesn't affect business here at all.
However, today, Mr. Zhou took people and walked back and forth here.
Cheng Erniang of Yuhua Building saw that something was wrong, so she hurried out and found Zhou Zongjia.
A few other heads of families and some girls also followed.
"Mr. Zhou, I'm here to patrol again. Is there any case this time? ”
It's nothing, don't you always hang around here, okay, didn't I give you money last time?
"Oh, there's something you need to be careful. Have you heard about the hanging of two people in the East Fourth Archway yesterday? ”
"I heard that, isn't it because the yamen doesn't give them the money they owe, and they have no way to live?"
"Alas, it's a little pitiful, but no matter how pitiful it is, you shouldn't gather people to make trouble at the Imperial History Yamen of the city. Forcing our commander to collect his debts ....... ”
Zhou Zongjia spoke a lot and sighed.
"Forget it, it's useless to tell you this, remember to discipline your people well, don't gather people to make trouble. Otherwise, stirring up a popular uprising is no joke. ”
"No, no. We only have customers here who are jealous and fighting, and there will be no civil unrest. ”
"Okay, let's go, you should do business."
Just left, no money? What do they mean?
"Erniang, even the national eunuch owes money and doesn't give it? Those prisoners always come to us, and they don't have a lot of money. ”
A girl said strangely.
"You know, the prisoners came here for their own money. Guozijian owes money, which is the money of the yamen, two different things. ”
As the boss and the girls discussed, the yamen owed money, which led to the businessman hanging himself, and it gradually spread.
Through the mouths of the girls, the news spread to the prisoners and some merchants and officials who came here to consume.
Through them, it finally spread to the national eunuch and officialdom.
At the same time, other archers and fire armor of the Dongcheng Terracotta Division carried out autumn fire safety publicity and reminder activities in the entire urban area today.
After talking about fire prevention, I inadvertently mentioned the hanging of two businessmen in the East Fourth Archway yesterday.
People were naturally interested in this news, but many people did not know the details, so they naturally inquired, so the archers and fire armor told the story in a colorful way.
The final result is that people know that because the yamen in the patrol camp are paying their bills, they are forced to hang themselves.
As soon as the people had more information and there was not much entertainment, they were excited.
So he hurried back and spread the word to the more talkers, so as to show that he was well-informed.
"Hmph, those people in the patrol camp don't have any good things."
"Guozijian is still a disciple of a saint, and he is so reliant on his debts, which is simply a sweep."
"Yes, now even the reader is shameless."
"What are they not doing now, when are they going to have their faces? The books of the sages have been read into the dog's belly. ”
Similar discussions are spreading more and more widely. For a while, it became a hot topic on the streets.
The Yamen of the Dongcheng Patrol Camp is actually the Northeast Patrol and Arrest Hall. The common name of ordinary people is called Dongcheng Patrol Camp.
Jia Rui and Ni Er were in front of the Northeast Patrol Hall at this time.
"Uncle Rui, really don't need me to accompany you in? That Lee guerrilla was very irritable. ”
"No, you're just waiting here. I'm asking for money, not fighting with them. ”
"They won't pay it back."
"I know, salute before you soldier. I'll be back in a moment. ”
Jia Rui entered the patrol hall and directly found Li Guerrilla.
Li Guerrilla looked at Jia Rui and rolled his eyelids.
"Sit down and have tea."
"I don't have to serve tea, I'll just say a few words and go. You won't pay it back anyway. ”
Guerrilla Li looked at Jia Rui again and smiled.
"Commander Jia, since you know that I won't pay back, why do you want to come here?"
"I also heard about the hanging yesterday. However, if you think that because of this, I will pay back the money, it is too simple. ”
"I've seen a lot of Diao people, and this little trick can't scare me."
"Guerrilla Li, in fact, I don't want to care about this matter, it's just because the officials confessed, the people persecuted, and I was afraid of provoking a civil uprising, so I had to go out."
"However, repaying debts is the right thing to do, and I think it's better for Li Guerrilla to settle this matter. Otherwise, the matter will be big, and it will not be good for Li's guerrilla. ”
"I just don't pay back, what can you do to me?"
"Hehe, I can't do anything to you, I'm afraid that Wang Fa will do something to you when the time comes. Words do not speculate, farewell. ”
"Okay, Jia Rui, I'll wait for you."
"You'll wait for news."
"Walk slowly, don't send."
You don't need to send it, you better think about it, how to keep your black yarn hat.
Toast without eating and drinking, this is forced by you.
Jia Rui came out, and Ni Er greeted him.
"How?"
"This person is not saved, let's prepare to do it in the next two days."
"Uncle Rui, I've been waiting for your words for a long time, I've already found out all about this kid's dirty things."
"Not necessarily, but with moonshine, it's enough for him to drink a pot."
"Hehe, if you can bring down a guerrilla, it's exciting to think about it, it's best to do it right now."
"This time, let's not come forward directly, let's go, go to the Chongwenmen tax card."
"Uncle Rui, do you mean to ask the Chongwenmen tax card to come forward?"
"They come forward, let's help, let's help them."
"High, really high."
The Chongwenmen tax card is the largest tax card in the entire empire, with the highest number of taxes, and has become one of the important sources of tax revenue for the imperial court.
In addition to the book taxes handed over to the imperial court, they secretly had to give the eunuchs and ministers the ice and charcoal on time.
Therefore, the Chongwenmen tax supervisor has become a hot fat shortage, known as one of the top ten advantages and disadvantages in Beijing. In Shenjing City, he is also a very powerful figure.
It is precisely because it is fat that the competition is fierce, and only the emperor's cronies can serve as it.
The term of office is only one year and must be rotated at that time.
If you want to serve as a tax supervisor again, you need to do it for at least another year.
The liquor tax is an important source of tax revenue for the Chongwenmen tax card.
Jia Rui and Ni Er soon arrived at Chongwenmen.
Chongwen Gate is the terminus of the Grand Canal in the capital.
Once here, the Grand Canal becomes one with the moat. Therefore, it has become a cargo distribution center, and there is an endless stream of merchants, cargo vehicles, and packets.
In the distance, there was a strong smell of wine in the air, which was the smell of wine in the eighteen restaurants.
Some of the wine trucks are marked with the sign of "Eighteen South Road".
This proves that these wine carts have already paid taxes on the tax card outside, and they can pass directly when they get here.
Vehicles without signs are taxed here.
"Let's go inside."
Jia Rui took Ni Er and entered the tax superintendent's office together.
Half an hour later, the left deputy superintendent of the Chongwenmen tax card personally sent the two out.
"Commander Jia, me and the tax supervisor are waiting for your news."
"Don't worry, Lord Zuo, it's within three days."
After bidding farewell to the deputy superintendent left, Jia Rui walked towards the east.
"Uncle Rui, where are we going?"
Ni Er asked.
"Guozijian."
