Chapter 154: Another Strategy
Su Yirong listened to him. He smiled." You guessed it."
"Since I know that it is the set of the Nine Emperor Princes. You're still drilling in. When did you become so stupid." Leng Yanxi said teasingly. But the look on her face was trusting her. I believe that even if you really fall into the trap of the Nine Emperors. She can handle it herself.
"I didn't know that at first. Just when it's boring to go out with the eighth princess. Later, after seeing the Nine Emperor Princes, I understood. However, this should be the opportunity that the Nine Emperor Princes have taken a fancy to. before it came out. It's not like it's planned." Su Yirong smiled and then said.
"You. I'm so smart. But don't use it in the right place" Leng Yanxi looked at her and sighed helplessly.
"What is good and what is evil. I just don't want to get involved in your people's business." Su Yirong shook his head and sat down. But when he saw that he was no longer angry. Pick up the snacks and eat them first.
"You are the princess of my Rui Palace. Even if you want to stay out of it anymore. You are also a princess. People don't see you as distinguishing you from me. Just like this time. You have a genuine fellowship with her. But they don't still use you the same." Leng Yanxi did not reject her thoughts. I think it goes on like this. It's not good for herself.
"I believe that this incident must have been the idea of the Nine Emperor Princes alone. It has nothing to do with the Eighth Princess. And that's nothing compared to the previous things. It's just trying to pass on a message through me. It's not a big deal for you or me." Su Yirong shook his head when he heard this, not daring to agree with his words. And when it comes to this. I think of something." In fact, sometimes women are more vicious than men. Compared to the previous incident. It's just a trifle."
Both of them knew what she was thinking when they saw her expression. There was silence for a moment. Especially Leng Yanxi's face is even more ugly. Although that thing is in the past. But it is a knot in their hearts.
"Alright. I'm fine. It's just that I thought about it again. I'm not that vulnerable." Su Yirong found that his words made the faces of the two big men change. Barely squeezed out a smile.
"Now that you've met the Nine Emperors. Then you must know what's going on. Tell me what you think." Leng Yanxi knew that she didn't want to mention it again. He asked directly.
Su Yirong listened but did not answer directly. Rhetorical question. Did you arrest a lot of people this time?"
The Thirteenth Prince nodded. There are dozens of ships that evade taxes alone. Not to mention the person who answers. And there are quite a few officials involved. It's all shut up now. But how to deal with it is a difficult problem. After all, there are too many people involved. If you deal with it heavily, you will offend too many people. But if you deal with it lightly, it won't work."
Su Yirong was silent when he heard this. There is no good solution to tax evasion even in modern times. Originally, everyone was caught by Thirteen now. It's easy to dispose of it. As long as all are resentenced. That would set an example.
But the most important thing now is what Thirteen said, and there are many officials involved in the fact. Even the disciples of the Nine Emperor Princes did not escape. If it is true that all of them will be resentenced. will offend a cadre of officials and the people of the Eighth Prince. When the time comes, they won't be able to do well.
Leng Yanxi doesn't care on the surface. But at this time, I discussed it with the thirteen princes. Apparently there is still some consideration. Su Yirong thought of this. I feel that there is still a way to do both.
So he said with a smile. I've got a solution. It's just that some of them don't conform to the cold and hard methods that our Rui King has always had."
"Tell me about it. If it's really inconvenient for the sixth brother to come forward. Then I'll come forward. Even if I was scolded, I would admit it." The thirteenth prince saw that she really had a way. Immediately laughed." Do you know these days. We are already embarrassed by them. Neither is a heavy sentence. It's not put it either. And a dozen people a day to intercede. The threshold of my navy's yamen is about to be trampled by them. It's a big head."
Su Yirong smiled when he saw his exaggerated appearance. In fact, this time it is impossible for you to recognise it. After all, there is no way to follow. Now all the laws are based on ordinary merchants. There has never been an example of the Navy. Whoever you catch is an outlaw. It's really serious. It's unreasonable.
When the time comes, someone will really grab this point and bite it. There is another help. You've become passive."
The two couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. They all nodded when they looked at each other. This is one of the reasons why they are embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Su Yirong saw through it at a glance. I was looking forward to what she said.
"The sixth sister-in-law means to let them go." The Thirteenth Prince couldn't help but ask.
"I can't let them go. If you let them go. After that, the wind of tax evasion will definitely become more and more rampant. You can't catch it." Su Yirong shook his head without thinking about it.
Seeing the surprised eyes of the two. He chuckled and explained. I mean this group of people is at the disposal of the emperor. You can give your opinion. It's to put a board on all the people you catch. and make up the stolen taxes. Let it go. If the emperor agrees. It can be disposed of in this way. If the emperor does not agree. Want to be heavily penalized. It has nothing to do with you."
"It's that simple. You're not afraid to let them go. Others rushed to follow suit when they saw such a light punishment." The Thirteen Princes were a little surprised. Obviously, I just objected. How is this so now.
"Because there can be a back-up move. It is to ask the emperor to send someone to legislate. Heavy penalties are imposed on those who evade taxes and those who commit crimes at sea. It's even heavier than the previous criminal law." Su Yirong was still a little surprised when she saw the two. He continued. Now these people are considered first-time offenders. Plus there is no corresponding criminal law that can be forgiven. When there is a corresponding criminal law in the future. The sentence can be determined according to this criminal law. There are lessons from the past. If they do it again, you won't be to blame. I'm even more embarrassed to intercede again.
In this way. Even the emperor will definitely think that you have a benevolent heart. The disposal is also reasonable. And you won't feel that you are doing things badly. Among the brothers, it is also possible to sell personal favors. Especially the Eight Princes series. You must know that they are a big faction in the DPRK.
When it's really time for you to live or die, you're not afraid of them. But it's not yet time to fight for life and death. Why slap them off for a small matter."
"It's not a trivial matter. You must know that the people we caught are all the henchmen of Brother Jiu. In addition, almost all of the goods this time are Brother Jiu's money. It accounts for most of his net worth. If it is true that they will be heavily fined. Let the ninth brother hurt his muscles and bones. How can you say that it doesn't matter." The Thirteen Princes listened to her. Speak immediately.
His idea was to take the opportunity to slap them hard. But he didn't expect that Su Yirong hadn't thought about it at all. If it is said to be on the face of the eighth princess. But it can't be so. After all, it's about profit. Su Yirong is not such a person who does not know what is important. He believed that Su Yirong would not be like this because of the Eighth Princess. But if it weren't for that, it would be a bit unreasonable.
"But no matter how much it hurts, it's just money. For you princes. Is money still a problem. As for the henchmen, it is not a problem. These few can be exchanged for a few if they are gone. Human life is even less valuable to you." Su Yirong snorted coldly. In addition to being dissatisfied with what the Nine Emperor Princes did. And the two of them are among them. Although they have always shown the good side in front of themselves. But Su Yirong believes. No one will be so clean.
The thirteenth prince's face changed when he heard this. But he could only nod. After all, everything she said was right. They will be good to their own people. It can deal with the enemy. Which is not ruthless.
Seeing this, Su Yirong also knew that he had gone a little too far. After all, they don't care what they do to others. At least be honest with yourself. And she really didn't have the right to say that about them.
So I didn't mention it anymore." Now if you kill the Nine Emperor Princes. Not only is it impossible to really drive them to death. It may also arouse their hatred. We don't talk about the difficulties everywhere. It even makes the emperor disgusted with you. You will feel that you are ruthless to your brothers. Although he has made meritorious contributions. Collected money for the treasury. In the end, it didn't make a good fuss."
"yes. What my father cares about most is the filial piety of my father and son. If we push the ninth brother hard. The Father knew. Even if it's for the court. He won't be happy either. Instead, they will find an opportunity to cut our power." Leng Yanxi finally spoke. But he still agrees with Su Yirong's opinion.
"Sixth brother, you also think it's better to do this." The Thirteenth Prince didn't expect that the sixth brother, who had always been tough, would also agree with Su Yirong's opinion.
"How I can't agree. I don't agree because it was your sixth sister-in-law who came up with the idea. It's because she's right. We're on the cusp now. If you offend many officials because of this incident, there is also the ninth brother. After that, it won't be easy.
Although now there is a navy. But after all, the foundation is unstable. The eighth brother has many henchmen. If you really want to make a stumbling block for us. That's unguardable. It's better to sell them face now. One that can make them feel grateful. The other can also let them relax their guard against us." Leng Yanxi explained. It makes sense, but only he knows. How much do you trust Su Yirong now?
Su Yirong listened and nodded. Oh, yes. I thought the same thing. Now if you sell the Nine Emperors a face. It is equivalent to selling the eighth prince a face. They owe us a favor. After that at the top of the court. The two of you have a short-lived alliance. In this way, the other princes even look at the power of the navy. It's not so easy to think about anything."
Leng Yanxi had a slight smile on his face. But it wasn't because of what Su Yirong said made him happy. It's her sentence of us. Leng Yanxi was happy to say it.
