"Bang!"

In the Chen'an Palace, Zhang Lingyang was furious when he looked at the song.

"Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the Xuan Cabinet, and the six ministries and nine secretaries are here!"

Zhang Lingyang's mood is not so wonderful.

The secret report just submitted by Jinyiwei shows that the officials of Guangzhou City colluded with local businessmen to wantonly smuggle tea, silk, porcelain, and other goods, and evaded taxes as much as more than 3 million taels of silver every year.

When Zheng Yongji and the others arrived, Zhang Lingyang angrily threw this fold on Zheng Yongji, and said with a gloomy face: "This is the good official of Da Zhou, how much tax does Guangzhou Bosi have every year?" Actually evading so many taxes at once, am I blind and deaf? ”

As soon as Zheng Yongji heard Zhang Lingyang's words, he knew that there must have been collusion between officials and businessmen on the side of the Guangzhou Bosi, so he hurriedly opened the song to see.

Seeing that it didn't matter, Zheng Yongji couldn't help but gasp.

Zheng Yongji never expected that the officials of the Guangzhou City Bosi would be so rampant.

In the past year, the total amount of tax and silver paid to the imperial court by the Guangzhou City Bosi was only 2 million taels of silver, and the tax silver that was stolen was as high as 3 million taels.

After reading the twists and turns, Zheng Yongji said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Your Majesty should thoroughly investigate this matter, not only the Guangzhou Bo Division, but also the rest of Quanzhou, Songjiang, and Tianjin Wei should be thoroughly investigated.

Weichen suspects that the city company that is only afraid of tax evasion and tax evasion is not the only one in Guangzhou. ”

"Of course, we have to investigate thoroughly!" Zhang Lingyang didn't have a good breath and said, "This matter will be handed over to Jinyiwei to handle, I want to talk about more than just this matter."

Such a big thing happened in Guangzhou City, didn't the officials in the court notice it at all? What do the officials eat, and what kind of officials are elected every year?

There is also the household department, the tax evasion and tax evasion over there in Guangzhou City is so serious, is it true that the household department is not aware of the problem at all? ”

Chen Yiming, the secretary of the ministry, and Zhu Kaishan, the secretary of the household department, were speechless, and their faces were flushed, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, which was better than being so embarrassed.

As long as the Guangzhou City Department is not blind, the household department will definitely be able to find some clues when counting the tax money.

But what about the household?

I don't know if the officials of the household department really didn't notice it, or if they didn't see it, they just missed it, causing Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household department, to not know at all.

As for the officials, if there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the localities, the officials will certainly not be able to escape their responsibilities.

Such large-scale tax evasion shows that the officials on the side of the Guangzhou City Department have completely rotted.

So the question is, how did such an official get promoted?

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang's reprimand, Chen Yiming could only listen.

Chen Yiming and Zhu Kaishan scolded their subordinates after returning to their respective yamen, not to mention this for the time being.

Alone said that Han Xiao, the commander of Jinyiwei, took hundreds of horses out of Beijing the next day and went straight to Guangzhou.

On the side of the Guangzhou Bo Division, after receiving the news, the chief official Li Ya hurriedly ordered his subordinates to destroy all the evidence of tax evasion and account books.

Even at such a point, Li Ya was still a little uneasy, and called his subordinates and asked, "Have you finished the fake accounts?" ”

"Rest assured, my lord, nothing goes wrong."

"What about the Thirteen Lines? What do they say? ”

"Adults put their hearts in their stomachs, the thirteen lines and we are grasshoppers on a rope, and we will definitely not talk nonsense."

"That's good! That's it! Hearing this, Li Ya was completely relieved.

"My lord, I heard that Han Xiao, the commander of this brocade guard, is a famous smiling tiger. For the sake of political performance, he is likely to do whatever it takes. The subordinate suggested to Li Ya, "Otherwise, you write a letter to Governor Li of Shandong and ask him to ask Han Xiao for a favor, and this matter will pass with one eye and one eye closed." ”

"No way!" Li Ya's head shook like a rattle, "If my uncle knows what I am doing here, he will definitely beat me to death, let alone intercede for me." ”

Li Ya is the nephew of Pharmacist Li, the governor of Shandong, and the cousin of Concubine Li in the palace.

If it weren't for this relationship, he wouldn't be in the position he is in today.

Li Ya didn't dare to tell his uncle what he had done, in addition to being afraid of his uncle, more importantly, Li Ya felt that as long as he blocked everything that should be blocked, with Concubine Li's relationship, Jin Yiwei commanded Han Xiao and would definitely not embarrass himself.

Li Ya is not worried, it does not mean that the officials below are not worried.

With Concubine Li in the palace to take care of, Li Ya will naturally have nothing to do. Even if the matter here really happens, Li Ya can't lose his head.

But they are different, they don't have an uncle who is a governor, and they don't have a sister who is a princess.

Li Ya was not in a hurry, but they were anxious.

But no matter how anxious they were, they had no other way but to try their best to cover everything up and not leave any clues for Jinyiwei.

After Han Xiao came to Guangzhou with Jinyiwei, he did not go directly to the city, but first went to the Guangzhou Wei's guard.

I don't know what I discussed with the Guangzhou Wei Commander that day, and early the next morning, Han Xiao ordered someone to seal the Guangzhou wharf.

At the same time, Han Xiao directly led hundreds of Jinyi guards to surround the entire city.

Li Ya, who was handling official business in the City Shipping Division, suddenly panicked when he heard that Han Xiao led people to surround the Municipal Shipping Division.

Hurriedly walked out of the gate of the City Division, recognized Han Xiao, and Li Ya shouted directly: "Commander Han, what do you mean by this?" Good end, why do you lead troops to surround our city? ”

"What do you mean?" Han Xiao chuckled, "What do I mean, don't you Lord Li know in your heart?" ”

"Come on, put everyone in the city department into prison!"

After speaking, Li Ya ignored Li Ya, and Han Xiao got on the horse and left directly.

Behind, Li Ya jumped angrily, "Who dare to arrest me?" My uncle is Pharmacist Li, the governor of Shandong, and my sister is Concubine Li. You bastards dare to be rude to me, and when I return to Beijing, I will tell Concubine Li Niangniang to rip off all the dog skins of you people! ”

What kind of big battle has Jinyiwei not seen?

As for the important ministers of the imperial court? Relatives of the Imperial Family? Do they have less Jinyiwei in Beijing?

So ignoring Li Ya's threat, the two brocade guards directly blocked Li Ya's mouth with a rag and tied him up with a rope.

On the other side, Han Xiao came to the Guangzhou Mansion Prison, ordered people to clear out dozens of cells, and then sat on the Taishi chair basking in the warm sun, waiting for the official of the City Department to escort him over.

However, the officials of the city department did not wait, and Han Xiao waited for the governor of Guangdong, Taien.

When Tyne saw Han Xiao, his face was a little gloomy, and he asked directly, "Han Xiao, what do you mean?" Why did he lead troops to surround the city and arrest all the people in the city? ”
