Looking at Zhao Shujiao, who was gradually approaching with the knife, and looking at the steel knife with a drop of blood, no one dared to stop the Gongshun Hou Mansion in front of the silk village.

Looking at these fierce and introverted guys in front of him, Zhao Shujiao smiled coldly, kill and kill anyway, just do it to the end, and completely play the prestige of the tax department, so that no one in Beijing dares to resist!

Anyway, with the emperor's backing behind him, what are you afraid of! Anyway, you will definitely offend people, simply offend to the end, and it is good to realize your loyalty in front of the emperor!

"Come on, arrest all these bastards who dare to resist the tax department, and send them to Dongchang for punishment, those who dare to resist will be killed!" After thinking about everything in an instant, Zhao Shujiao shouted.

"Yes!" More than a dozen pro-soldiers brought by Zhao Shujiao immediately pounced on those guys. These pro-soldiers are all veterans who have been fighting with Zhao Shujiao all the year round, and they are warriors who can fight with Jiannu on the battlefield.

Is it so reckless? The other officials of the tax department were dumbfounded. If you don't agree with each other, you will kill people, and this division of your own family clearly regards this place as a battlefield. However, there are also people who are excited, especially those who have been transferred from the Xiyuan Janissaries to the Tax Department. Tan Xingxian swallowed his anger before, which made them feel very unhappy, but now that someone is taking the lead, they naturally want to follow.

As a result, more than 20 military guards followed Zhao and led his own soldiers to storm the men of the Silk Village.

Most of these guys are the family members of the Gongshun Hou Mansion, and some of them are still soldiers of the Beijing camp, who were transferred by Wu Weixian to work for themselves, but what about the soldiers of the Beijing camp, how can they be the opponents of the battle-hardened warriors? And looking at the corpse that had just fallen, many guys were stupid and didn't dare to resist at all.

In an instant, dozens of fellows were thrown to the ground and tied up with ropes.

Zhao Shujiao had already inserted the steel knife back into the scabbard at his waist and walked into the silk village.

In the lobby, Tan Xingxian held an account book and looked at Zhao Shujiao who walked in dumbfounded. Until now, he can't believe that Zhao Shujiao is so bold and kills people at every turn, you must know that this is the business of the Xungui family. Oh, I seem to have forgotten that Lord Si Zheng in front of me is also a noble......

"What kind of account books do you still see, seal the shop and arrest people, take all the account books back and check them slowly, this silk village dares to violently resist taxes, and all the goods in the store will be confiscated and used as tax silver!" Zhao Shujiao glanced at Tan Xingxian and ordered in a deep voice.

"Ahh Tan Xingxian's mouth suddenly grew, "Uncle, this, I'm afraid this is inappropriate......"

The purpose of coming here is to increase the commercial tax, why did it actually seal the shop and confiscate it, the tax department does not have this power!

"Your Majesty asked you and me to collect taxes, we are the Qincha who received the emperor's order, someone dares to violently resist taxes, how can you not arrest people and seal the shop? If not, who will take my tax department seriously? When will the task given to you and me by His Majesty be completed? Zhao Shujiao said in a deep voice.

Tan Xingxian smiled bitterly, and had to admit that what Zhao Shujiao said made sense, and this was the best way to quickly complete the task assigned by His Majesty. But in this way, I am afraid that the nobles of Beijing City will be offended to death.

At this time, Tan Xingxian had to admire how bold his own top boss was, thinking about his performance just now, Tan Xingxian felt very ashamed. No wonder His Majesty asked Zhao Shu to teach this person who didn't know anything to be this Sizheng, Tan Xingxian didn't understand it at first, but now he finally understands......

Respectfully obeying the Hou Mansion, Wu Weixian was a little uncertain.

Because the mansion and the silk village are very close, when the people from the tax department arrived at his silk village, Wu Weixian received the news as soon as possible, so he instructed the guys in the silk village to block it, trying to delay time to think of a way.

Yesterday, the court decided to collect commercial taxes in Beijing, but I didn't expect that the tax department would be established today, and they would also come to their own stores to collect taxes, which really surprised Wu Weixian.

What does this mean? It shows that His Majesty has premeditated.

Wu Weixian instinctively felt that it was not okay to think of a little silver and not pay it, the emperor, with the respect of the Son of Heaven, put down his face to scrape the silver from the nobles, and did not care about the feelings of the princes, how could he resist?

The question is how much money to pay? I have made a lot of friends, and I am afraid that the emperor will come to this trick after tasting the sweetness. Although the emperor said in the court that this was an expedient measure, who knows if it will become the rule?

In the Ming Dynasty, Xungui has always been exempt from some taxes, and it has been like this for more than 200 years, but I didn't expect that in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the preferential exemption was gone, and he had to pay taxes like ordinary businessmen, which made Wu Weixian how willing?

So he was thinking that he would delay some time to investigate the situation and see if the tax department had only come to collect taxes from his own family, or if he had also gone to the homes of other nobles, and then he would discuss with other nobles how to deal with this matter.

The person who sent to inquire about the news came back, saying that Dingguo Gong and Jiading Bo's silk village also went to the tax department, and just when Wu Weixian was thinking about going to meet Jiading Bo and discuss it, suddenly a house slave ran in like flying.

"Master Hou, it's a big deal, it's a big deal!"

"Panic what, the sky can't fall!" Wu Weixian said unhappily.

"Murder, the tax department killed our people and arrested everyone else." The house slave who reported the news continued.

"What?" Wu Weixian grabbed the front of the house slave and couldn't believe his ears.

How can it be? How is it possible to kill someone? Isn't it just collecting taxes, how did you get into such a situation?

"Let's go, follow me to the Silk Village!" Wu Weixian said angrily.

Gathered dozens of families in the mansion, Wu Weixian rushed towards the silk village, he wanted to have a good fight with the people of the tax department, why did the people who killed me do what the Gongshun Hou Mansion did?

When he arrived at the silk village, he saw that the soldiers of the tax department were carrying the silver box outside, and Wu Weixian's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"Put it down, let it go, can't you rob it in broad daylight?" Without Wu Weixian opening his mouth, his family members rushed over and forced the people from the tax department to put down the silver box.

Wu Weixian didn't start, but looked at the silk village, and looked at Zhao Shujiao through the open door.

"Uncle Dingliao, do you have His Majesty's will to kill people and raid your family?" Wu Weixian asked coldly.

Zhao Shujiao said lazily: "I was in charge of the tax department under the order of His Majesty, and when I encountered violent resistance when collecting taxes, I had to kill them. ”

"You are talking nonsense, we have asked one of us to come in to check the account books, and we are afraid that it will affect the business by not letting others in, when did we violently resist taxes?" At this moment, a silk village steward bravely rushed out and said angrily at Zhao Shujiao.

"Melon noise!" Zhao Shujiao suddenly pulled out the steel knife, threw it away, and stuck it in the heart of the steward, and the steward fell to the ground without saying a word.

"Zhao Shujiao, how dare you do this?" Wu Weixian was furious.

"I'll kill your people, what are you going to do?" Zhao Shujiao sneered, "Either you set up your soldiers and horses and fight with me with real swords and guns, or you watch me copy your silk village." Oh, you can also go into the palace to complain to His Majesty. ”

"Zhao rated!" Wu Weixian roared angrily, he didn't expect the person in front of him to be so bold and reckless, he dared to kill his own person in front of him, and he trembled with anger.

Zhao Shujiao's behavior has exceeded Wu Weixian's imagination, how can there be such a rampant and indiscriminate killing in the officialdom, even Jinyiwei will not be like this!

When he was angry, Wu Weixian found that he had no way to teach Zhao Shujiao. Although he is also a military general, he has been in charge of the Beijing camp, and his subordinates are no less than Zhao Shujiao, but if he wants to fight, he is not someone's opponent at all. Even if he can fight, Wu Weixian doesn't dare to fight, because Zhao Shujiao is collecting taxes for the emperor, and if he beats Zhao Shujiao, how can he explain to the emperor?

But it's so humiliating, if there is no reaction, how do the people in Beijing see themselves and how do they look at the Gongshun Hou Mansion?

"You, you wait for Benhou, sooner or later there will be a day when you are unlucky!" In the end, I could only put down the cruel words and ignore it. As for the silk village, Wu Weixian couldn't care about it, and he couldn't take care of it.

Looking at Wu Weixian's back, Zhao Shujiao just sneered.

"Lord, are you impulsive?" The leader of the pro-soldiers leaned over and asked worriedly.

"It's just killing a few birdmen, it's nothing." Zhao Shujiao shook his head.

It's just a few house slaves, it's not a big deal, but you can test the reactions of all parties through this matter, and test how firm the emperor's heart is to collect commercial taxes. At most, he was driven out of Beijing City, and it was a big deal to return to Shanhaiguan and continue to be his own commander-in-chief, than if he had nothing to do all day in Beijing City.

Commanding his subordinates to seal up the silk village and move the silver out, Zhao Shujiao suddenly thought of the third way tax collector sent out. The third way is to go to Xuanwumen Street in Xicheng, which is more than half of Beijing City, how is it going there, Zhao Shujiao has not received the news yet. Thinking that the third silk village belongs to Jiading Bofu, and Jiading Bo is the current national abbot, Zhao Shujiao is a little worried.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to the Yamen of the Taxation Department, I got the news of the third passer, and the tax money successfully collected from Jiading Bo Silk Village will come back soon.

"How did it go so well?" Zhao Shujiao said incrediblely.

Jiading Bo Zhou Kui Zhao Shujiao naturally heard that this is a very greedy person, relying on his daughter is the current queen, he has done some illegal things, and I heard that the silk village was snatched by him from others. How could such a person be willing to pay taxes?

An hour later, the tax collector came back, and after careful inquiry, Zhao Shujiao understood what was going on, it turned out that the reason why the tax collection was so smooth was thanks to his two knives.

At the beginning, the shopkeeper of the silk village was very tough, and even the door of the shop did not allow the people of the tax department to enter, and the shopkeeper of the silk village directly told Jiao Gang, the head of the foreign affairs house, that this shop was the industry of the national abbot, and the silk and satin operated in the shop were to be sent to the palace to cut clothes for the queen.

Jiao Gang was suddenly frightened, the matter involved the palace, involving the queen, where did he dare to do it. I could only talk to the shopkeeper in good words, telling the shopkeeper that he was ordered by the emperor to collect commercial taxes, and since the emperor and the emperor are a family, they should support the emperor's will.

And the shopkeeper bluntly said that what you said was right, but he was just a shopkeeper, and he didn't dare to be the master, so everything had to be spoken. So Jiao Kui asked him to introduce Guozhang, and the shopkeeper told Jiao Kui that Guozhang would come to the shop every day to take a look around, just wait with peace of mind.

In the face of today's Guozhang industry, how dare Jiao Kui dare to be tough, he can only wait helplessly. Who knew that he didn't wait long, and the shopkeeper suddenly invited him in with a smile on his face to discuss the matter of taxes and silver. Jiao Kui inquired curiously as to why this was the case, and then finally knew that it was Zhao Shujiao who opened the killing ring in Gongshun Hou Silk Village and the news reached Jiadingbo's mansion, which made Jiadingbo very frightened.

Some people are rumored that Zhao Shujiao is a demon who kills people and does not look good, and he once fought with the slave chief Huang Taiji for three days and three nights, in the face of such a ruthless person, even the national zhang felt frightened, afraid that Zhao Shujiao rushed to the silk village, so he temporarily compromised.

Guozhang is willing to pay taxes, but he is unwilling to pay more, only promised to pay five hundred taels of silver, and Jiao Gang is currently negotiating with the shopkeeper of the silk village to force him to pay enough tax silver.

Thinking that the dignified and famous father-in-law was so frightened by himself that he took the initiative to pay taxes, Zhao Shujiao laughed. After laughing, worries arose in my heart. After today's incident, his notoriety has been completely launched, and it is conceivable that it will be much easier for the tax department to collect taxes in the future. But Zhao Shujiao can also imagine that I don't know how many people hate themselves and peep at themselves in secret. However, Zhao Shujiao was not afraid.

In fact, just as Zhao Shujiao guessed, his behavior frightened many people, and even the silk village of the former governor of Beijing was sealed, and several people were killed one after another.

The Dingguo Mansion honestly admitted that the silk village of the Marquis of Gongshun was seized, and even the Guozhang was ready to soften. What's next for the Inland Revenue Division?

No one is willing to pay taxes for the silver that is easy to earn, but if they don't pay, they are afraid of being killed by Zhao Shujiao, and many nobles are unwilling to have a hard time with this two hundred and fifty, so they plan to wait until the tax department comes to the door to cooperate with the tax.

There are also some nobles who are unwilling and are ready to impeach Zhao Shujiao for indiscriminate killing, such as Gongshun Hou Wu Weixian, who is ready to fight Zhao Shu's family in the court.

In the evening of the same day, a number of nobles visited Zhou Kui, the Bo of Jiading, to discuss ways to deal with Zhao Shujiao and the Department of Taxation.

Although Zhou Kuicai is an earl, he is the current ruler of the country, and he is the closest to the emperor. This kind of thing is only the best if Zhou Kui comes out, and it is possible to bring down Zhao Shujiao. No matter how bad it is, Zhou Kui is also the current national father-in-law, the emperor's father-in-law, even if the emperor does not allow it, he will not do anything to Zhou Kui, and it is difficult to say if he is replaced by other nobles.

After receiving the heavy gifts from the nobles, Zhou Kui agreed, patted his chest and told everyone that he would definitely sue in front of the queen, and ask the queen to speak in front of the emperor and cancel the tax department to remove Zhao Shujiao.
