It's no wonder that Huang Yan is afraid, if it is just an iron whip and an inno iron, it hurts, but he can definitely live and retain his health, but if he has no hands, then even if he is recruited, he will become a cripple in the future. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Say it."

"Say, I say."

Huang Yan said: "We salt merchants will miss more than 10,000 salt taxes every year, and all of them will be put in.... ”

"You wait."

Luo Yi said: "More than 10,000? Is it gold or silver? ”

Huang Yan said: "It's silver." ”

Luo Yi smiled: "What about you playing with me?" More than 10,000 taels of silver, is it worth it for me to be worthy of me to mobilize people like this? Huainan salt tax, what a big hole, Yangzhou is the Huainan office, the most prosperous place, has always been the gathering center of salt merchants, only 10,000 taels, I'm afraid there is less than a leader, right? ”

Huang Yan changed his words and said, "Master Hou, I only said mine, okay?" I'm going to say, and you're going to let me go? ”

Luo Yi said: "The mistake you made is no longer a simple corruption and perversion of the law, but tax evasion, which has caused serious losses to the country; I can only promise you a good time; Or you can be handed over to the Criminal Department. Two paths, the choice is yours. ”

Huang Yan also knows that for such a big matter, of course, it is impossible to escape responsibility by taking the initiative to explain the problem, the salt tax is the country's main lesson, and the salt tax is stealing the country's money, and the losses caused to the country are immeasurable.

"Okay, I'll explain."

Huang Yan said: "We miss more than 50,000 salt taxes every year, all of which are put in.... ”

Before Huang Yan finished speaking, Luo Yi sighed and said, "Huang Yan, you are really a slippery head, fifty thousand?" Is 50,000 enough for you salt merchants? You still haven't explained your question, do you want to taste the taste of the stick? Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, last year, the drunken immortal house I ran was jealous, and a wine-making master was captured by Qian Jiu, the head snake in Yangzhou, do you know how he forced the wine-making master? Insert a steel needle into the winemaker's finger, inch by inch, until he confesses. As the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, that kind of pain is not something you can imagine, if you can feel that you can hold it, you don't say it, otherwise, I will try it on you and let you know that it is amazing! ”

Zhao Wenxian also knew that plot, he had also seen Liu Laoshi's wound at that time, the swollen one was about to become a zongzi, although he had not seen the tragedy at that time, but that kind of pain, Zhao Wenxian could understand.

Zhao Wenxian said: "Don't worry, Master Hou, the steel needle has already been prepared.... ”

"Come on, bring me the steel needles you have prepared."

As Zhao Wenxian's words fell, a soldier outside the cell walked in with a plate, and more than a dozen large and small steel needles were placed on the plate, seven or eight inches long, as small as a hair.

Zhao Wenxian picked up one casually, shook it in front of Huang Yan's eyes, and said with a smile: "Boy, wait a minute, you will know, what is pain!" ”

"Blah blah blah bla I, I'm honest. ”

Huang Yan said quickly: "Our salt merchants miss more than 80,000 salt taxes every year, only more than 80,000, Master Hou, you have to believe me." ”

"I believe you fart, Wenxian, prick me and let him taste what it is like to have a steel needle."

Luo Yi didn't believe this figure at all, in the huge Yangzhou, the salt tax was at least hundreds of thousands, if only 100,000 was missed, then the imperial court would send a Qin messenger to verify it every year, and how could Li Shimin have the confidence to rely on the Huainan salt tax to fill the hole in the treasury.

Although Yangzhou is only a part of Huainan, the 80,000 mentioned by Huang Yan is too little.

Zhao Wenxian had long wanted to insert the steel needle into Huang Yan's fingertips, and after getting Luo Yi's order, Zhao Wenxian didn't say a word, grabbed Huang Yan's hand, and inserted the steel needle, which suddenly submerged more than two inches. When inserted, the sound of bones shattering could be clearly heard, as well as Huang Yan's miserable screams, even though Huang Yan kept saying that he was willing to confess, Zhao Wenxian still did not let go.

It wasn't until Huangyan couldn't hold it anymore that Zhao Wenxian let go of his hand, but the steel needle was always inserted in his fingertips, like fish bones and hedgehogs, which made people look creepy.

"How about President Huang, it's time to tell the truth, right?"

"I... I'll be honest, eighty thousand... Oh no, it's a hundred thousand, a hundred thousand. ”

Huang Yan's face turned pale and said weakly.

"One hundred thousand... I don't know if what you're saying is true or not... ”

Luo Yi said: "Okay, let's skip this question for the time being, and talk about the Yangzhou officials, besides you salt merchants, who else is involved in the salt tax?" In other words, how did you bribe Yangzhou officials and successfully evade taxes? Who are the officials involved? ”

As soon as he asked this, Huang Yan stopped talking.

Luo Yi simply asked: "Did Shi Wu Shengqing, the governor of Yangzhou Dadu, participate in it?" How much do you receive each year? There are also Huainan Jiedu envoys, as well as other officials in Huainan. ”

Huang Yan didn't speak, as if he had some concerns, or rather, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart; Although Luo Yi is domineering, he always thinks that this is only temporary, and Wu Shengqing has the final say in Yangzhou's affairs, even if Wu Shengqing doesn't work, and there are Huainan Jiedu envoys, they can't all fight Luo Yi, if they all confess these people, it will be all over, and there will be no hope at all.

Luo Yi also saw Huang Yan's thoughts, and said: "Don't expect Wu Shengqing to come to save you, if I didn't see that he had to deal with Yangzhou trivial matters, he would be the one who is on trial now." And I'm telling you that if this case has anything to do with him, I'm going to have to lock him up next. ”

"Big brother, I see that his bones are itching again, do you want me to go up and get two more stitches? Let him know how good I am. Zhao Wenxian whispered beside him.

Huang Yan's face twitched a few times, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know, you just stabbed me to death, and I don't know!" ”

"If you want to pierce it, come on."

Seeing Huang Yan's generosity to death, Luo Yi laughed, got up and said, "Okay, just let you go for the time being, I'll go to other chamber of commerce members to have a look, I don't believe it, all of them can be as tough as you." ”

"Huang Yan, do you want us to make a bet, I can interrogate at most three people, and we can find out the salt tax in Yangzhou."

Not long after, Luo Yi went to the next cell, the member of the Chamber of Commerce on trial was a young man who was less than twenty years old, Luo Yi had investigated his family history, belonged to a family of salt merchants, and had been entrenched in Huainan for several generations, and was the person with the most right to speak except for Huangyan.

Luo Yi estimated that even if he didn't know as much as Huang Yan, he could at least reveal the situation of the Yangzhou government, and this was enough for Luo Yi to collect evidence.

The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and it is tantamount to this person's dream to find out the major cases of tax evasion and tax evasion by relying on dozens of salt merchants, but it can open a gap, and with this gap, it can be used to uproot the big tree of the main class.

"Your name is Sun Yang?"

"Yes, yes, the villain's name is Sun Yang."

Luo Yi was sitting down facing Sun Yang, Sun Yang was hanging, and there were two soldiers standing on either side, one holding an iron whip in his hand and the other holding a nuo iron.

Luo Yi said: "I see that you are also a person who understands current affairs, so you will not be punished, as long as you explain things clearly, I will let you go, what do you think?" ”

"Okay, I'll explain."

Sun Yang didn't hesitate, just like a pug, he replied in a loud voice.

Luo Yi asked: "Let me ask you, does your salt merchant evade taxes every year, does it have anything to do with Wu Shengqing, as well as the Huainan Jiedu envoy, and other officials in Huainan?" ”

As soon as Luo Yi came, he went straight to the topic, and Sun Yang suddenly swallowed as if he was eating, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

The scene at this time, just like asking Huang Yan at the end, Sun Yang also had many concerns.

Luo Yi looked upset, and made a face at Zhao Wenxian, Zhao Wenxian stepped forward, picked up the iron whip and prepared to start pumping.

Luo Yi waved his hand: "Wenxian, what kind of iron whip is it, I am too lazy to waste time with him, just go directly to the steel needle, let him taste the most powerful criminal law!" ”

"Hey, hey... Good. ”

Zhao Wenxian asked the soldier to bring the steel needle, and said with a smile: "Sun Yang, you are so blessed, did you Huangyan taste the steel needle after tasting the iron whip and Nuo Tie, you will use the steel needle directly, how much pain will be reduced." ”

"Don't worry, if it doesn't hurt, just take a break..."

Yes...

As he was saying that, Zhao Wenxian seemed to be afraid that Luo Yi would regret it, and quickly inserted the steel needle into Sun Yang's fingertips with lightning speed, and suddenly, Sun Yang's painful muscles bulged violently, and his face was deformed.

Looking at the steel needles that were still in his fingertips, Sun Yang hurriedly said, "Don't... Don't prick, I'll say everything. ”

Zhao Wenxian stopped moving.

Luo Yi said: "Then you should hurry up, tell the truth, dare to perfunctory me, I will continue to pierce." ”
