Chapter Thirty-Six: Why This County Decree Will Be Rich in Flowing Oil?
"Do you want to go back to your cell?" Zuo Qingfeng held his head and looked at the rising sun outside the window, and the groggy feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"Well, of course. As you said, time is running out. Zhuo Ran felt very uneasy in his heart at the moment. He couldn't help but want to speed up his pace.
The prison was still damp and dark, and only some light could be seen near the window.
With a team of officers and soldiers, Zhuo Ran and Zuo Qingfeng came to a cell, which was originally held for those prison errands, but at this moment these prison errands were gone, and they could only see a man in gorgeous clothes sitting inside.
Command the key to be fetched and the door opened.
"Yo, you must be Lord Zuo, right? Hey, I was thinking that the little people would take some time to pay homage to officials like you another day. didn't think about it, but now we are meeting in this prison. Do you think it's funny? ”
Yang Yuan touched his beard, his demeanor was calm, and he actually spoke first. Seeing this, Zuo Qingfeng felt very strange in his heart, it was the first time he had seen someone arrested, and he was so calm.
Zhuo Ran saw it, and his heart was slightly tight. With such a fearless appearance, he must have heard something from Liu Yishou last night, which gave him the confidence to talk to them like this.
"Yang Yuan, do you know what we are going to do when we arrest you?" Zuo Qingfeng asked tentatively.
"Hehe, what else can I do, look at you This is the Wang Zhuoran of the Wang family who is standing, and now arresting me must be for the case of Su Qian." As he spoke, Yang Yuan just looked at Zhuo Ran. "I heard a rumor earlier, saying that your Lord Zuo received a large amount of benefits from the Wang family and wanted to help this little brother Wang Zhuoran get rid of his crimes."
After speaking, Yang Yuan smiled coldly, "Hehe, I listened to it as a joke at first, how big an official are you, Lord Zuo, who would help a murderer because of money?" But now, hmph, I'm a little bit convinced. ”
After speaking, Yang Yuan raised the shackles in his hand. "It seems that I, Yang, have been taken by the two of us and have been used as scapegoats."
Zuo Qingfeng frowned, listening to Yang Yuan's speech, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart. "This official doesn't just arrest people randomly, if there is no evidence, how can I take you?" Obviously, Zuo Qingfeng is really angry, he never calls himself 'this official', and treats everyone else with such a humble title as 'under him'.
"Evidence, what evidence? Joke, I, Yang Yuanxing, am bright and upright, what evidence can I have to prove that I killed someone? Yang Yuan said that he brought himself a cup of tea and took a sip. Then he looked at the teapot with disgust in his eyes, obviously he was not used to drinking this kind of coarse tea.
Zuo Qingfeng was about to answer, but was stopped by Zhuo Ran. Obviously, Zuo Qingfeng's mouth cannon ability and this Yang are far from being at the same level, and they have fallen to the bottom after a few times.
One of the most commonly used techniques in discourse is to arouse the emotions of the other party, whether it is negative or positive, as long as they are aroused, your opponent will lose his basic reason, and then he can be appropriately seduced to maximize his own interests.
This Yang Yuan can get mixed up today, how can he not understand these methods of bullying honest people?
"Boss Yang is so eloquent." Zhuo Ran stepped forward and looked at Yang Yuan, his eyes were cold.
Yang Yuan looked at Zhuo Ran, but was frightened by Zhuo Ran's eyes. "Young Master Wang, you are really joking, I am just talking about things, don't elevate me."
Although Zhuo Ran has little experience in interrogating suspects, he has listened to the open classes of many other departments of the police academy, and he has some means in his heart.
"Look at Boss Yang like this, are you waiting for that Liu Yishou to reach out and fish you out."
Yang Yuan raised his eyebrows when he heard Zhuo Ran's words, and put the tea bowl in his hand on the table. What do you mean by that? Isn't it normal for this Lord Liu to save an innocent person out of this trouble? ”
"Saving the innocent? Do you know that this Lord Liu is already difficult to protect himself now, where did he have the spare time to help you? ”
When Zhuo Ran said this, his tone was very sarcastic, and Zuo Qingfeng on the side heard it a little unclearly, so he didn't know when Liu Yishou was already difficult to protect.
When Yang Yuan heard Zhuo Ran say this, his expression was obviously flustered, and then he saw Zuo Qingfeng's expression, and his nervous mood suddenly relaxed. In his heart, he decided that Zhuo Ran's words were tricking him.
The change in Yang Yuan's expression was so able to escape Zhuo Ran's eyes. In the face of people like Yang Yuan, the best way is to give priority to defeating his mental support and making him collapse. Otherwise, with such an old fox, it would be impossible for him to confess with a few vague evidence.
"Boss Yang has also lived in this Los Angeles County for decades, and you must know all the things that Liu Yishou has done in this Los Angeles County."
"Hmph, I don't understand what you want to say, I advise you to release me quickly, otherwise I will go when I go out, I just said to sue the emperor, and I will return today's humiliation to you."
Yang Yuan was very ruthless when he spoke, obviously threatening Zuo Qingfeng and telling him not to meddle in his affairs.
"Boss Yang, they all say that the best quality of a businessman should be to be patient. In this way, only by watching the price rise and fall can you make a lot of money. Now that you've heard me finish, it's not too late to complain. Zhuo Ran smiled when he spoke, and he looked like he was the same as Yang Yuan's expression just now.
Hearing Zhuo Ran say this, Yang Yuan turned his head aside, as if he didn't want to hear Zhuo Ran continue. But now that he's in prison, he doesn't want to listen to it.
"In this Los Angeles County, there are countless merchants, and there is a lack of land for farming. The main channel for raising taxes is through the merchants in these counties. But although this Los Angeles County is small, it is really rich, and the commodity transaction volume alone has reached tens of thousands of taels, such a terrifying figure.
According to the Tang law, the government should take at least 30% of the tax rate from the goods that have passed through the accounts, according to the price of the goods. Some are more special, and even take a tax rate of up to 60%. ”
Yang Yuan listened unimpressedly and took a sip. "Cut, you're a dumb boy who has also learned the way of doing business?"
"Hehe, I'm saying all this just to make one thing clear. With such a high tax rate, local merchants will be under tremendous pressure. If the goods can't be sold, even if they are sold at the original price, they will lose money. ”。
"Say whatever you want to say when you fall to the ground, I haven't had a good night's sleep this night." Yang Yuan began to get impatient.
Zhuo Ran snorted coldly, "Then I'll tell you directly why this Liu Yishou is difficult to protect himself, he moved the tax, privately collected the so-called tribute from these merchants, and secretly changed the number of transactions of goods." This helps these merchants get rid of taxes. ”
