Li Chengcheng is wearing a peach-colored three-collared narrow sleeve today, with an open skirt of two or three inches, and the outer sleeves are inlaid with white fur. The face was slightly red, blown by the cold wind as if coated with rouge, the lips were slightly open, and the teeth were slightly exposed.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the gentle and beautiful, and a little anxious woman, blinked his eyes, suddenly stepped forward, forced to look at Li Chengcheng, and snorted, "Well, you said you didn't find it?" ”

Li Chengcheng was a little panicked, and hurriedly took a step back, wanting to confess his guilt, but found that the emperor had taken another step forward, only half a foot away from her face.

"The emperor forgives the sin." Li Chengcheng had to retreat again, his face was frightened, "If the slave goes to look for it again, it will definitely be found." ”

"Really?" Zhu Youxiao stiffened his face and approached step by step, until the girl had her back against the wall and could not retreat.

Li Chengcheng felt the coolness in his back, and the back of his head was also attached to the wall, like a little white rabbit trapped with nowhere to escape.

Well, in Zhu Youxiao's opinion, he is a helpless little hamster who was forced into a corner by a cat.

Li Chengcheng just wanted to hide to the side, but one of Zhu Youxiao's arms had already been raised and pressed against the wall, blocking her way.

Just when the girl was facing the face of the emperor who was close at hand, panicked, and opened her lips to confess and plead again, the emperor's face suddenly became bigger.

Well, it's close, and there is no gap in it.

The warm pavilion was quiet, Li Chengcheng slowly closed his eyes, his thoughts flew in the hot kiss, and his mind was blank.

For a long time, in the meowing sound, Zhu Youxiao reluctantly moved away slowly, it was so fragrant!

Li Chengcheng opened his eyes, and his expression was still a little confused.

"Well, the cat is back, and I've punished you." Zhu Youxiao showed a wicked smile and said, "Wear more clothes and accompany me to shoot." ”

Li Chengcheng's eyes were rounded, and he regained his senses.

Then the girl's face was flushed, and she lowered her head in shame, not daring to look at the emperor's smiling face, only a mosquito-like voice whispered: "The slave obeys." ”

Hehe, the wall knock is amazing, I finally have a chance to use this trick!

…………………

There is still more than a month to go before the New Year, but the killing in Jiashan County has cast a heavy shadow on the heads of the gentry in Jiangnan, making them tremble, how can they have the heart to celebrate?

This is also normal, killing a group of inferior gentry and exiled thousands of people, but it does not mean that the dust has settled and everything is over.

Wei Guangwei, the newly promoted governor of Jiangsu, quickly took office and publicly declared that "the use of the law is severe, and the intention is to hoe the strong and eliminate violence." The evil tyrants will be cut off. ”

At the same time, the imperial court issued a decree that anyone who was removed from the name of the meritorious and gentry for violating the law would not be allowed to enter the imperial examination for life.

Starting from Jiashan County, the magistrates of various prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River have also hardened one after another, and began to vigorously investigate the leakage of money and grain, and severely punish the tyrants, slaves and evil servants who are rampant and lawless. And the directly damaged groups are naturally the gentry and the students.

Under the deterrence of killing chickens and monkeys, most of the gentry and students who had illegal behaviors such as offering and sending money, tax evasion, etc., took the initiative to clear and make up the payment, and eventually feared the law.

But there are also some greedy people who are lucky, and they do not pay the compensation completely, thinking that they can get away with it.

And these guys who were blinded by money forgot that this was no longer the local government investigating alone, and Dongchang was also involved.

Therefore, just after the one-month pardon period, the local governments that received the information from Dongchang began to severely punish the lawless.

According to the latest order of the imperial court, those who fail to report within the time limit and fail to return the supplementary payment will be removed from all those who have meritorious fame, and those who are exempted from preferential treatment will be cancelled, and half of their property will be confiscated, and they will be given 50 rods and flail for three days.

Is the penalty severe? Historically, it's really not the strictest and most ruthless.

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, anyone who was found to have evaded taxes would be fined for one year in addition to confiscating all his money and property;

In the late Tang Dynasty, in order to prevent the sale of tea and tax evasion, severe punishment regulations were formulated: "The three offenses of smuggling (selling) are all 300 catties, which is death; The long line of group travel, although the tea is scarce, it is ......";

According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, anyone who sells illicit salt to evade taxes will sell more than one or two "fifteen rods"; Dare to violently resist taxes, "steal and sell smuggled salt with a rod, three or more people, carry a rod and a head and put to death". Selling illicit tea "is a hundred canes for one catty, and it is abandoned to sell more than 20 catties, and "five buckets of illicit wine are executed".

In the Yuan Dynasty, the smuggling of salt, tea, wine and other goods was the same crime as tax evaders, and they were all "seventy rods, two years in prison, and half of the property was unofficial".

Even if the neighbor does not report the tax evasion, he will have to pay a hundred rods, "Those who hide (steal) taxes, half of the goods are not official, and half of the goods are not official, and half of the goods are not official."

The Ming Dynasty reduced penalties for evading important taxes such as salt and tea, but the economic penalties remained severe. Even if you evade a small tax, the punishment is unambiguous, and once you evade taxes, you will be fined thousands of dollars.

Whether it is tax evasion by smuggling goods or tax evasion by leaking acres of land, they are all the same in nature, and there is no essential difference.

The eunuchs and students, who were usually dignified and elegant, soon paid a terrible price for their greed.

In addition to fame, confiscation of half of property, spanking, and flail to show the public, this series of harsh punishments and laws from politics, economy, to personal dignity have unceremoniously ripped off the fig leaf of lawless eunuchs and students.

“…… Those who have been responsible for clearing their names, their Huawu gardens, and the south acres of Jiacheng, all of them are famous and famous, and they are even strange; He stands and acts, and he doesn't know how to ...... virtue."

“…… Camp for profit, although there is Tao Zhu Yidun's wealth, do things every day, like a hungry dog begging for mercy ......".

In conjunction with the ruthless and severe punishment, the "Daming Forum" is also intensifying its efforts to criticize and expose all kinds of lawlessness of inferior gentlemen.

Don't look at the five and six ordinary people, also known as the poetry and book family, also known as the family of good deeds, but look at what they do, greedy and shameless, no different from hungry dogs.

This is really harsh, and the punishment is not given the slightest dignity. What kind of Swen students, what two gentry, just want you to sweep the floor and lose face.

Along with the severe crackdown, the officers and men who were transferred from the Beizhili and Nanjing Beijing camps were also stationed in the eight prefectures south of the Yangtze River, and used knives and guns to suppress the noise that was about to rise but not to rise.

At this time, those vicious tyrants and illegal gentry really saw the iron fist of the court and the determination of the emperor.

was severely punished with resentment, but could only be silenced; Fearing and worrying about luck, he hurriedly surrendered to the government and begged for forgiveness, fearing that one step at night would be devastated by the blow.

But at this time, Wei Guangwei, the new governor of Jiangsu, was in Jiashan County, accompanied by the county commander Liu Lishun, and congratulated Zheng Yuanjin and his son, who were flattered and shocked as if in a dream.

In the sound of firecrackers and drums, the plaque of "Completing the National Lesson Diligently, Obeying the Law" inscribed by the royal pen was hung high on the lintel, and the red cloth covered was lifted, highlighting the honor won by the Zheng family.

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" Zheng Yuanjin and Zheng Shaokang knelt on the ground and bowed three times.

Just because he was cautious, he saw the clues from the imperial court's crackdown on the "remnants of the Smelling Fragrance Sect". I didn't dare to be in arrears, let alone make trouble with other inferior gentry and tyrants, and I paid off my taxes and grain early, so I had such glory.
