Gu Changqing waved his hand and said to the people below, "Bring me another witness." ”

There was silence in the lobby for a moment, and I saw Huang Wu walking over with two people.

Gu Changqing patted his forehead helplessly, one and two, is it so difficult to distinguish?

However, since he had already brought out the two lieutenant chiefs and pavilion chiefs, Gu Changqing simply asked.

"Chief Zhao, Chief Gao Ting, who gave you an account of the poll tax in Anqing County a year ago?"

"Master Fu." The two said in unison.

"When did you confess?"

"I was three years ago."

"I was five years ago."

The two said separately.

"What did Master Fu say?" Gu Changqing said.

After the two looked at each other, Gao Ting said, "Go back to your lord." I took office three years ago. Whenever we changed places, Master Fu would come to us. Explain the matter of the poll tax years ago. He said that this tax is a hard and fast rule, and silver can be used to offset it without food. If you don't have any money, you can do other livestock. Master Fu also said that if we can't collect it, we will pay it on their behalf. ”

"Then Lord Fu can explain to you how to use the head tax?"

Both of them shook their heads, "I haven't explained." But then the people complained, and we also asked. Master Fu said, is it used for disaster relief? ”

"Where to give disaster relief? Can you say that? ”

The two men shook their heads.

"Have you heard of anything like this anywhere else?"

The two men continued to shake their heads, "I haven't heard of it. ”

"Okay." The corners of Gu Changqing's mouth rose slightly, "Then tell me, why are you sure that this behavior of Lord Fu and others is a black tax." This kind of crime can kill the head. ”

"Your Excellency. I took office five years ago. At that time, the previous poll tax had been collected for four years.

I remember that it was the fifth year, and there was a typhoon in Anqing, so we went to intercede, hoping that the poll tax would be waived this year.

But Lord Zhou and Master Fu still have to continue. As a last resort, the people spontaneously organized themselves to resist. I didn't expect to really check the greasy relationship between them and Yongfeng Grain Shop.

At that time, after the land tax was raised after the autumn, most people had little food left. There was no way, many people paid attention to robbing the tax team.

We are also farmers, we also farm, and we also need to pay taxes. I knew how difficult it was to endure this kind of life, so I turned a blind eye, and then those people returned empty-handed, and I knew that something must have happened, so I went to see.

The men told me that all the tax convoys were carrying fakes. There is no food in it at all. And the grain is stored in the Yongfeng grain shop, just waiting for the end of the year, when the goods flow in large quantities. Zhao Li said.

"Then how do you know that all the grain is stored in the Yongfeng grain store?"

"After this typhoon, there are still more than five years of heavy taxes, how much food can the people of Anqing sell. In the middle of the night, Yongfeng Grain Store began to transport things out in many vehicles. And they are all famous dart game escorts. No one is a fool. Of course, you can guess that it is all food.

And the relationship between Master Fu and that Boss Qin is good. Frequent entry and exit, coming and going, this black tax thing will rise. Later, the people could not bear to revolt and resist. ”

Fu Qiang knelt aside. Gao Changmin and Li Chang Pavilionman knelt aside, each living in a corner.

&

nbsp; Li Chang's tirade, Fu Qiang didn't seem to hear it, his expression was not abnormal, and he didn't even refute it.

In fact, the whole thing is completely clear by this point. For so many years, the people have also known this, but because of that uprising, the seeds of fear have been left in their psychology, so they have been holding back.

However, Fu Qiang did not admit this, and the Qin family brothers seemed to believe that someone would come to the rescue, so they didn't say anything.

And what made Gu Changqing feel puzzled in his heart was. That Shang Shuling Liu Yi will not really risk himself for them.

Knowing that this time, as long as you get involved, you won't be able to get rid of it, and it won't come.

………………

At this time, Shangshu ordered Liu Yi's carriage to gallop in Yong'an City. He knew in his heart that if he succeeded this time, everything would be easy to say. If it fails, it is likely that there is no return.

Before the trip, he had already arranged his home. Even if it happens and he is imprisoned, his wife and children must live.

The world is big, and there is always a place to hide.

And the reason why he wants to gamble is not because of how important Fu Qiang and the Qin family brothers are to him, but because he knows a truth, this matter must have been known in the capital, and it will definitely not be simply stopped.

If Fu Qiang was there, he didn't stick to it in the end and confessed himself. The emperor will not let himself go in the end, and if he goes at this time, he can still say that he surrendered himself lightly. If Fu Qiang persevered and didn't say himself, his appearance would also make Fu Qiang and others afraid of talking nonsense.

And what he gambled in the end was that Gu Changqing didn't have his own handle, and he wouldn't do anything to himself.

Yong'an City has a tax revenue of more than 100,000 quintals a year, and Gu Changqing is at most a six-grade official. And himself, Xingtai Shangshu Ling, is the second product. Although it is far away from the capital, it is also blessed by the identity of the imperial prince.

A six-pint is the right two-pin. No matter how you look at it, it's all losing.

But he didn't know. Since Gu Changqing has already started, he is ready to break the boat. Besides, in his hand, there is also a letter of help from Fu Qiang. His reputation has long been in turmoil in the capital.

The carriage entered from Yong'an Gate, passed through Nine Streets and Twelve Roads, and finally stopped at the gate of Yong'an County Ya.

With the neighing of the horse, Liu Yi also got out of the car, didn't say much, only took out his token and showed it to the guard at the door, and strode in.

Gu Changqing was still there preparing how to make Fu Qiang open his mouth to admit that although he hated direct torture, if the two sides were still deadlocked, he had not considered torture.

"Master Fu, do you want to say it. Although this county government is not as good as the Criminal Department, there are more than a dozen tools for people to confess. If you continue like this, I'm going to stop showing mercy? Gu Changqing sat on the chair, he had been fighting psychological warfare with Fu Qiang for more than an hour, and he still had some residual poison on his body, so he only felt very tired.

"Does Master Gu still want to bend into a trick?"

A man's voice like a bell passed through everyone's ears, and Fu Qiang was the first to react.

A person who has spent a long time in the darkness of despair is most sensitive to light.

Although the expression was not too obvious, the body that had been rickety just now slowly straightened up at this time.

Gu Changqing also raised his eyes, and the person who came was a man in his fifties, with a firm posture, a little seriousness in his blazing eyes, and a black brocade shirt slowly walked into the lobby.

The voice is extremely loud, completely different from those civil officials in the capital who can only move words and ink. He exuded a majesty that was unbearable to look at.

This is the precipitation of years and experiences.
