Since there is so much tax revenue during a great drought, what if it is a good harvest year?

This also shows one thing, the taxes of the two state capitals of Liangzhou and Chaozhou, some people have done something.

Jin Ge was shocked in his heart, who dared to do anything so bold in paying taxes, this is a big crime of the Yi people!

He felt like he had discovered a huge conspiracy......

Although he was not afraid of heaven and earth, he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

He looked at the records of Jingzhou Taxation and "Daqianzhou Mansion Guangzhi" again, and there was not much discrepancy, and he fell into deep thought......

"I don't know if Langzhong Lin Ping asked me to go to Jingzhou to check the taxes.

Is it because he knows that I have a holiday with the Dingguo Mansion, and deliberately gives me the opportunity to retaliate against the Dingguo Mansion for betraying my personal favor?

Or is there really a problem with the Zhidu Yamen?

Even if the Zhidu Yamen is really in trouble, if I don't come to the Zhidu Yamen, what should they do? ”

Jin Ge thought of this, and couldn't help but think.

"I don't know if the imperial history book impeached the Jingzhou Assassin Shi and the Dingguo Mansion for embezzling taxes and silver, did I have it before I came to the Yamen?

Or did they just come to Zhidu Yamen, and they played?

If it's been played a long time ago, it's nothing.

If it was because I had just come to the Zhidu Yamen that they played, what was their purpose?

Did they want me to leave Chang'an, and then take my life by the hand of the Dingguo Mansion, or with the help of a robber!

That's not right!

In fact, even if I don't leave Chang'an City, it's not impossible for them to want my life......

Could it be that they want to borrow my hand to suppress the Dingguo Mansion? ”

Jin Ge shook his head and said secretly: "The current Dingguo Mansion is already a strong foreign powerhouse, and it has lost its previous glory without suppression." ”

Thinking of this, Jin Ge can conclude that these people just want their own lives.

"Who wants my life?

Is it the group of literati, or the remnants of the Liang Dynasty, or the people who are annoyed by the collection of taxes and silver in Dongcheng......

It doesn't matter what their purpose is.

Jingzhou, I'm sure I can't go.

But ......"

Jin Ge thought of another possibility.

"Will they know that I will definitely not go to Jingzhou, so they will deliberately do this, in order to let me stay in Chang'an City all the time......"

"In a few days, the envoys of the Shang Kingdom will arrive in Jingzhou, I don't know who will greet them?"

Jin Ge held his chin and meditated, but still didn't come up with a reason.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it.

Jin Ge picked up the tax forms of the past three years and the "Guangzhi of the Great Qianzhou Prefecture" and carefully compared them.

Let's see if there is such a situation in other state capitals as Liang and Chao Erzhou.

Jin Ge put the form into the "Guangzhi of the Great Qianzhou Mansion" and picked it up, opened the door, took a deep breath, and went straight to the study of the Duke of Protector.

At this moment, the protector of justice sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Jin Ge bowed when he came in and said, "Father-in-law! ”

The Protector opened his eyes.

Jin Ge recounted his findings.

The Protector glanced at Jin Ge in disbelief, and called Meng Lu again.

Verified by many parties.

In the eleventh year of Jingde, the two state capitals of Liang and Chao did suffer from drought, and the imperial court also opened a warehouse for disaster relief.

Although the two state capitals of Liang and Chao suffered from drought, the tax money of these two state capitals in the account books was not reduced at all......

Jin Ge thought for a while and asked, "Father-in-law, I don't know who is responsible for the taxes in these two states?" ”

Huguo Gong thought for a while and said, "If the old man is not mistaken, it should be Liang Kun, the left waiter, who is in charge." ”

"A squire can be greedy for so much tax money?"

Jin Ge was incredulous.

The Protector shook his head and said, "It's impossible for Liang Kun to eat so much silver!" ”

"So where did all the tax money go?"

Jin Ge couldn't figure it out.

The Duke of Protector was surprised at first, and said, "Liang Kun and King Huai are brothers-in-law......

Huaiwang?

Jin Ge's mind immediately appeared with the smiling face of King Huai.

and the sentence that he still can't forget: "The kid is good, but the acting skills are too bad......"

Jin Ge couldn't have imagined that this prince, who was usually very low-key, would actually reach out to the tax money of the state capital.

Jin Ge asked puzzledly, "Is King Huai still short of silver?" What is he doing this for? ”

The Protector looked at Jin Ge's expression and said, "King Huai is His Majesty's third emperor uncle, and King Huai has two sons. ”

"Since His Majesty has never had an heir, it has been proposed that the second son of King Huai be appointed as the prince......"

The Lord Protector said so.

Jin Ge suddenly brightened up and said, "Father-in-law, let's report the matter of the two state capitals of Liang and Chao to the imperial court now." ”

"Just like Jingzhou, send people from the imperial history and the household department to check the accounts of the two states, won't the truth be revealed?"

The Protector shook his head and denied it.

"Even if they were in collusion with people in both states, I don't believe they would be able to do it all," Gingo continued. ”

"As long as you check layer by layer, there will always be a day when you find out."

The Protector pondered for a moment and said, "These accounts can't find out the problem. ”

Jin Ge said: "What if the source of every payment is clear? ”

The Protector waved his hand and said, "As you said, this will be an extremely large task. ”

"That's the accounts of the two state capitals."

"Not only will it take a long time, but there is no guarantee that there will be no variables during the period of clearing the accounts."

"Maybe the court has not yet been deployed, and the other party has already prepared, and it is impossible to say that it will kill people and destroy evidence......"

Jin Ge lowered his head in contemplation when he heard this.

The Lord Protector took his hands, stood up from his chair, and said: "Unless the imperial court does not go to the state capital to investigate, it can be seen from the account books of the household department that someone has done something ......."

Jin Ge's mind flashed, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, I can tell from the account books whether someone has done anything!" ”

The Protector looked surprised and asked, "Ge'er, is it true?" ”

Jin Ge nodded firmly, and said, "Father-in-law, our Guogong Mansion has a lot of properties, as long as you bring a few account books, I can know whether it is a real account or a fake account." ”

The Duke of Protector hurriedly asked the housekeeper Meng Lu to bring the account books of the relevant industries of the Duke of Guo's property.

Jin Ge also asked Meng Lu to call the accounting office he had trained by the way.

Meng Lu turned around and hurried away.

Jin Ge opened his mouth again: "Father-in-law, a few days ago, Lin Ping wanted me to go to Jingzhou to investigate the history of Jingzhou and the embezzlement of taxes and silver by the public and private affairs of Dingguo......"

The Protector frowned and said, "Jingzhou? Jingzhou is the boundary of the Dingguo Mansion......"

Jin Ge interrupted the words of the Protector and asked, "Father-in-law, how far is Jingzhou from the two state capitals of Liang and Chao?" ”

"To go to Jingzhou, you will pass through Liangzhou and Chaozhou!"

The Protector said without thinking.

"Are there waterways and dry roads?"

The Protector nodded.

Jin Ge vaguely seemed to touch the answer.

At this time, Meng Lu ran in with more than a dozen account rooms and account books.

Jin Ge said to the bookkeepers: "A few days ago, I told you the table listed, do you remember? ”

The dozen or so bookkeepers nodded their heads like chickens pecking rice.

Jin Ge smiled and said, "Okay, you do what I say......"
