Chapter 93: Trade Unions and Peasant Associations (4)
For a while, the situation changed, and it looked like the Fei Mansion was about to collapse. Cheng Qi couldn't help but chant two famous sentences in "Peach Blossom Fan" while he was excited: Look at him up Zhu Lou, see him feast guests, and see his building collapse! This moss and green tile pile, I once slept and slept well, and I saw the rise and fall of fifty years.
This sentence is romantic, Li Xi also applauded when he heard it, and urged Cheng Qi to write out the upper and lower sentences. Teach it to the children in the night school to sing it.
For a time, in the streets and alleys of Shouzhou City, they all sang, "I once saw the warbler crying in the Jinling Jade Palace, and the flowers of the Qinhuai Water Pavilion bloomed early, who knew that it would be easy to freeze!" …… That Wuyi Lane is not surnamed Wang, the ghost of Mochou Lake cries at night, and the phoenix perches on the owl bird. The dream of the remnant mountain is the truest, the old realm is difficult to lose, I don't believe in this map change! A set of "Mourning Jiangnan", singing sadly until old age. ”
The Magistrate's Yuan also took action, although they did not understand the professional things in taxation, but they were able to legally assess how much the Fei Group would have to pay in fine to prevent Fei Jianren from going to jail - tax evasion is a felony, second only to rebellion.
The Fei group did not sit still, and soon they used the train to bring in a carload of lawyers from Xuzhou and Jiangning, most of them wearing gold-wire nose glasses, carrying a small cowhide bag, looking like Sven people, and then they started a verbal battle with the magistrate, saying that the evidence was not obtained legally, and emphasizing that the witness was morally defective. All in all, their nonsense and entanglement, although they can't change the overall situation, but they have caused a lot of trouble to the magistrate's house.
But their efforts are as powerless as spider silk in the face of the force of the tax police. Although the litigants have repeatedly protested that the closure and inspection of the tax police without the permission of the magistrate is illegal and cannot be used as direct evidence. But She Ji doesn't care about this. As long as he finds clues to the law, the rest of the matter is the matter of the Magistrate's Court. Besides, he just has to issue a fine for tax evasion, and prosecuting him for tax evasion is a matter for the prefect's yamen! How to convict is a matter for the Magistrate's House! As long as he can catch the tail of the Fei Group, expose it, and then let those pervasive interviewers and reporters flock to it, She Ji can be considered to be in the limelight enough.
Once he had copied enough evidence, She Ji planned to withdraw the tax police team. As for the affairs between the workers and the capitalists, he didn't care - if Fei Jianren really couldn't produce because of the strike, which would affect the tax problem in the next quarter, She Ji also considered using the tax police to suppress the workers.
In She Ji's world, the tax law is the highest law, and the tax is the root of everything, and whoever destroys the tax is against him and the more than 8,000 tax police officers under his control.
The work of copying the accounts lasted a total of eight days—it took eight days to move the main accounts from several factories and mines to the courtyard outside the city prepared by Sheji—the courtyard was guarded day and night by armed tax police, and all those who entered and exited were to be searched, and Sheji sent his henchmen who had followed him for many years to keep an eye on them, and if they encountered suspicious people, they did not need to ask for instructions to deal with them immediately and decisively—She Ji had heard of the tariff fraud in Liangguang that year, but he had burned to death the Eight Prefecture Inspectors. The smuggling of the Fuzhou shipyard is also half of the Fujian officials. Not to mention the record of the two Huai Road, granary fraud, scared! Fire dragon burns the warehouse! Yin soldiers borrow food! It's all a myth. The two Huai Road transfer envoys have been the successors of the three predecessors, and She Ji doesn't want to be the fourth - just the day before yesterday, he had received an internal notice that his former transfer envoy had been invited to tea by Yushitai. According to the internal report of the Ministry of Households, "the employee is suspected of major corruption and bribery cases, his personal character is seriously corrupted, and he has extremely improper dealings with businessmen......
Merchant? Who is the biggest businessman in Lianghuai Road? Again, this is a self-evident question.
There was also a new guest in Sheji's yamen—the one who brought him the internal report of the Tobu—he was not from the Tobu, but from the Imperial Historical Tower.
Theoretically, the Imperial Observatory is the supreme leadership body of the Criminal Division (Constitutional Division) and is responsible for judicial supervision activities throughout the country, but there are some differences. The main business of the criminal divisions is to prosecute and punish crimes on behalf of the state, and the side business is to supervise the other state organs at the same and lower levels: the executive branch (prefect, prefect), the judiciary (magistrate's court, magistrate) and the legislature (four levels of parliament). Of course, Kuraji and Caoji are also the objects of supervision of the Constitutional Division.
The main business of the Goshidai is reversed from that of the Kenji, and the main business of the Goshidai is to prevent corruption and combat corruption, and the general criminal offense is a side business.
To this end, in addition to supervising the lower-level constitutional departments and criminal affairs, the Imperial Historical Observatory also dispatched a wide range of roving prosecutors. That is, what the common people commonly call patrol and inspection.
Different from the Criminal Division, the patrol and inspection are directly dispatched from the central government, not in one place, the scope of the inspection is often changing, and there will be some overlap between them, through the design of these systems, the patrol officer and the inspection officer are relatively easy to cover some blind spots, and it is also easy to overcome the problem of the corruption of the supervision officer.
After the matter on the Fei Group's side was exposed by the newspaper, Yushitai sent a patrol press to come - in fact, She Ji felt that this was actually prepared for a long time, this patrol press was to convey the news that the former transfer envoy was imprisoned by Yushitai, and on the other hand, to supervise the good things on the side of the transfer envoy.
Of course, due to the special nature of the case, the identity of the inspector still needs to be kept secret for the time being, including the entire transfer envoy Yamen, who only knows that a seven-grade petty official from the household department has come to routinely conduct spring tax inspections.
Except for She Ji, there was no second person who knew the true identity of this Inspector.
"According to the clues gathered so far, the former political envoy may also be involved, at least involving land acquisition, relocation and the forced merger of several factories to strengthen the Fei Group." She Ji handed a small notebook to the patrol: "This records the number and number of gifts given by the Fei Group to the former political envoy and the former transfer envoy. ”
"How did this come about?"
"One of Fei Jianren's confidants, Zhu Ming, surrendered to the Magistrate's Court, and according to the several bribes he confessed to the Magistrate's Court, we found a corresponding record in the account books of the two factories. By analogy, we found more evidence of Fei Jianren's bribery to the officialdom of Lianghuai Road. At present, more than 100 officials, big and small, are involved. Because of the large number of people involved, each transaction needs to be double-checked, so it will take two to three days to get more detailed accounts - however, the details of these two are already conclusive and there is no problem. ”
Zhu Ming's "defection" brought a lot of benefits to the Yamen, and there were not a few people who hated him to death.
On the night of the second day when he ran into the gate of the Tuan Yuan, a group of people came and surrounded the Zhu family's mansion in a menacing manner. Although next door was his brother's yard, but in order to give the government a face, they didn't dare to rush in to set fire, nor did they dare to rush in to kill people, but they just threw a lot of bricks and stones across the wall, knocking down a lot of flowers and plants.
After a night of false alarm, Zhu Qing came over to take his sisters-in-law to his side, but found a big thing: Zhu Ming's baby son and his baby son were gone!
After the panic, all the subordinates and the nurse were locked up and interrogated strictly - Zhu Qing was originally the head of the yamen, and he was even more handy in doing this. The case was solved in less than half a day - a wet nurse confessed, saying that during the chaos last night, the eldest master's favorite chick Jin Cheng took the two children to hide everywhere, and then disappeared.
Zhu Qing also found out that when he passed the house in the morning, Jincheng, a big girl in Shandong, had disappeared at this moment - not to mention how it was gone, even when it was gone. Zhu Qing herself still wondered: Obviously in the morning, she was still crying as if the sky had collapsed, why did such a big living person say that it was gone?
The eldest sister-in-law said that it was bad, she must have run away with the little white face who was good! The second sister-in-law was shrewd and said that I think most of the child was abducted by her. This little vixen is not a good person at first glance. Most of them didn't have any good intentions from the beginning, and I think she abducted the child and left, most likely to be unfavorable to the master!
