When the tax collectors were ready to collect taxes from those who evaded taxes, those people were suddenly in a state of mourning. Because some of them owe less, maybe they don't pay much, and they can be regarded as easily coping with the past. But those who owe a lot of money will have to pay more taxes, and they may have to sell their houses. All of a sudden, all kinds of ordinary people are buying houses, and those housing prices in the capital have suddenly fallen even more. Originally, the foreigners hit Tianjin, and the decline in housing prices was big enough, but after this time, the price fell even more.

Even, but no one will sympathize with them, because they are the result of not paying taxes with the help of foreigners' tiger skins. Not everyone in this world is afraid of foreigners, and everyone is afraid of those foreigners. Therefore, they will not only have to make up for the taxes they have not paid in the past, but they will also have to pay taxes in the future.

However, it is the ordinary people who choose to compromise, and many people choose another path.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the Taiwanese are here, and our good days are over. In the past, because we were parishioners, we only had to pay some of the offerings to the church, and most of us were only one-tenth, while those of us who paid a lot were only seventy percent. But now the Taiwanese are actually asking us to pay back the past taxes and fees, how can we afford such taxes and fees? At that time, I am afraid that we will have to sell the property to be able to afford it. And our industry is also our hard-earned money, can we sell it cheaply? In addition, the Taiwanese people levied as many taxes and miscellaneous taxes, almost no less than the imperial court, but they did not recognize our status as a religious citizen. In other words, in the past, we could still get tax exemption by relying on our status as a religious citizen, but after the Taiwanese came, our tax exemption completely disappeared. So, can we accept this outcome? ”

Each of these merchants relied on their status as parishioners to obtain tax exemptions. But now that the Taiwanese are here, they can't survive anymore. They get a lot of privileges by low cost, and now they don't have that privilege, so they don't do it. Privilege is also a psychotropic drug, once contaminated, it will probably be very fatal. Once one day they lose their privileges, then they also become unacceptable. It's going to get crazy. So now they are all in a state of madness, and they seem to be very unkind. They now want to get privileges and then be able to get enough tax-exempt power to continue to rely on that power to sustain high profits.

"Yes! We can't do that, and if they do, they're digging into our roots. If we admit it like that, then we will lose a lot. So, we can't just be like that! We need to rebel! "We have to resist, we can't go on like this!"

Soon. The secret businessmen also began to connect one after another, hoping to make trouble. In this way, they will be able to gain enough privileges to continue not paying taxes. However, when they were preparing to plan trouble, Hu Ling of the State Security Bureau immediately brought people over.

"I'm Hu Ling of the State Security Bureau, and you are suspected of espionage and treason, so I will arrest you now!"

"What? Why are you arresting me? "Yes! Why are you arresting me? ”……

Hu Ling looked at these people and immediately said, "Give them the means." Then let them involve all the priests. They had to be involved in the so-called priests, and then all kinds of foreign religious personnel. And there are also those who have a certain status in the religion, and they are going to be implicated. Even if you can't label them as treason, you must at least arrest them. I don't believe what else can they do to us? We can borrow this charge of tax evasion and then give them a hard blow. ”

Not only did it take half an hour, but these guys also confessed one after another. Then he was sent to the capital for a public trial. This public trial must be tried and then severely punished. If they are not punished severely, then these parishioners will not be able to know what to fear. In Wang Guorui's eyes, every potential traitor of these parishioners is made. If they are not strictly deterred, then they may really make trouble in the capital. Especially the parishioners of these foreign religions. They have been given a lot of privileges, and now that they have been deprived of them, it is difficult for them to guarantee that they will not do anything out of the ordinary.

"Ladies and gentlemen, these people who are on trial on stage are just like you. However, they actually chose to betray their own country and nation for the sake of the so-called foreigner religion and for the sake of foreigners. So, they should be punished severely. Three hours ago, they had hoped to incite the people of the church to make trouble, and then go so that foreigners could enter our capital, and let foreigners come and kill our compatriots, so that they could be good slaves of foreigners. And they are parishioners, they say that this is God's will, and they think that foreigners should rule our China. ”

And these words made the people below very afraid, although they joined this Western religion, but not many Chinese people are religious. In particular, although Chinese appear to be religious, they actually believe in interests. Worship Guanyin, that is to obtain a son or promotion. And whatever you worship the Buddha is just for the sake of gaining benefits. The so-called religion is nothing more than the expectation of some people in the hope of obtaining certain benefits. There are not many people who are truly religious, they are all a bunch of false believers. Even the parishioners in front of them were no exception, they all joined this religion for the sake of profit and privilege, but they did not think of treason.

Many religious people did not think about treason, so they naturally heard about this treason, and they were very afraid. If Wang Guorui implicates all the parishioners because of this, then it will make them feel scared. Therefore, now they have all seen these parishioners who have been judged, and their hearts are full of mixed feelings, and they don't know what to say.

That is, these people are all foreigners. And now, we have to clean up these guys, and if you still don't want to give up your citizenship, then tell me, I can let him go to their God! I think God will be very welcoming to his people. Hu Ling said.

When those ordinary parishioners heard this, they were immediately frightened, and then many of them threw away their crosses and then some ceremonial utensils of Western religions to show their attitude. Because now the Taiwanese are obviously going to attack these Western religions, telling them that if they are not willing to give up their identity as believers in God, then the Taiwanese people will mind sending them to God.

And in this test of life and death, these "believers" have chosen to give up their faith, China does not have too much religious belief in its bones, and the fragility of this belief is also shown when the time comes to survive at this moment. Now these parishioners have renounced their faith, and then they have trampled under their feet the cross that was once regarded as honor and privilege, so that they also represent a betrayal of the Western religion, and then this means that they will no longer practice this Western religion from now on.

Well, since everyone is so willing to distance themselves from God, I won't say anything more. However, since these people like God so much, then I will send them to see God, so that they can feel God's love! Hu Ling said.

Soon, those parishioners and businessmen who were ready to participate in the disturbance were also dragged and shot, and the crime was treason. As for their property, it was also confiscated. And this gave those parishioners a great shock, because they knew that the foreigners could not protect them, and in the case of the Qing government in the past, the Qing government might be afraid of the foreigners. However, the new Taiwanese government will definitely not be afraid of foreigners. On the contrary, they are still the sworn enemies of foreigners, and anyone who colludes with foreigners is their opponent.

"Now, I order that all the church priests in the capital who have committed bad deeds be punished according to our Chinese laws. If there is no bad record, they will also be deported to avoid leaks! Hu Ling said.

"Why do you arrest me, you heretics? I am a citizen of the British Empire and I have consular jurisdiction! Immediately a priest shouted.

"Consular jurisdiction? It doesn't work with us! Pull to the trial! Anyone who makes trouble with us will be arrested. Any religion must obey the law, and if not, we will not let them go. If you dare to break the law on our Chinese territory, then don't blame us for the laws of China to punish you! Hu Ling said.

No matter what those guys think, they're going to be punished. And these churches are places where there is a lot of drinking and hiding dirt, and these places must be cleaned up vigorously, otherwise the religion will be unstable in the future. Moreover, these missionaries have so many privileges in China, if they don't use these privileges to break the law, then this Hu Ling is willing to cut off his head and kick it as a ball. If nothing else, let's just say that they use their privileges to shield the Chinese people who have committed crimes, which is also a very obvious crime. Anyway, it's just making excuses, and the so-called crimes that you want to add to them are endless, and as long as you look for excuses seriously, you can find them. What's more, these guys' butts are very unclean, and it's impossible for them to hide from them. In the past, they were not punished, and that was because the Qing government did not dare, but now that they have changed to Taiwanese, there is nothing polite. (To be continued......)
