"Shut up to Hondo!"

Syllable!

Hai Rui suddenly slapped the startled wood and roared with a grim face.

Jia Cunren and Qian Youyu, who rushed here at the same time to complain, were taken aback, and then knelt down together.

Hai Rui still looked at the two gentry with a cold face.

He has been a magistrate for many years, and he knows that he can't show his fear of these big officials and gentry, and he must first stand up for himself at the beginning, and then he can show courtesy, otherwise it will be easy for these big officials and gentry to kick their noses in the face.

After all, literate hooligans are more arrogant than hooligans.

What's more, he is only a person himself, so he has to get enough of it first.

Then, Hai Rui looked at Jia Cunren: "If you hand over the Tian tax and Ding Yin in time, how can these proud soldiers and warriors you said come to your house?" ”

"Moreover, these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals you mentioned are also under the orders of the Church, they represent the Church, and they also represent the Emperor's order of the Son of Heaven, they say that if you rebel, you will rebel!"

"If you are wronged, show empirical evidence to prove that you are wronged!"

After Hai Rui finished speaking, he stared at Jia Cunren with two eyes like the eyes of a mountain tiger.

"Evidence?"

Jia Cunren began to tremble a little and his mouth trembled.

"That's right, the evidence."

Hai Rui said.

Jia Cunren said as if crying: "How can I get evidence." ”

"If there is no evidence, it is a rebellion!"

Hai Rui said in a deep voice, and then instructed Wu Xiumin: "For the time being, for the crime of treason, the Jia family will be imprisoned in the government prison, and reported, and the specific verdict will be waiting for Your Majesty's holy judgment!" ”

Wu Xiumin said yes and put the Jia family in prison.

Jia Cunren was also dragged down.

And because of this, Jia Cunren had to shout excitedly: "Haibutang, you are a good man!" My Jia family is rich, how can I be willing to rebel! ”

"It's just because the dog grandson is a little stubborn and doesn't know the power of the king's law, so he ordered the heavenly soldiers to be beaten out, and the heavenly soldiers mistakenly thought that we were going to rebel."

"That being said, it is even more suspicious of rebellion!"

"You dare to fight the heavenly soldiers?"

Hai Rui directly grasped the loophole in Jia Cunren's anxious words and spoke.

Jia Cunren cried even more aggrieved for a while: "Master Hai, you are kind, everyone is a scholar, why be so serious, the dog grandson is really just stubborn and doesn't understand the king's law!" ”

"If the children of poor families who don't study don't understand the royal law, the parish will still believe it; But the Jia family is a scholarly family for generations, and the children who teach it will be stubborn and don't understand the king's law, even if the church is willing to believe it, is the Son of Heaven willing to believe it?! ”

Hai Rui questioned loudly as he spoke, and then asked someone to drag Jia Cunren down.

At that time, Hai Rui looked at Qian Xingyu: "Who is in the hall, why are you kneeling?" ”

Qian Xingyu said: "Qian Xingyu, the former governor of Henan, knocked on the sea master. ”

Seeing this, Hai Rui hurriedly got up and left the big eucalyptus, walked to the front of the hall, and began to help Qian Xingyu up: "Why is Qian Gong like this, please get up quickly!" ”

Qian Xingyu couldn't stand up on his legs for a while, and smiled at Hai Rui in embarrassment.

"Give Qian Gong a chair and sit down!"

So, Lu Kun gave his chair to Qian Xingyu, and personally came over to help Qian Xingyu to the chair.

And Hai Rui smiled and asked at this time: "What is Gong Qian doing?" ”

Qian Xingyu was frightened by Hai Rui's iron-faced selfless scene, and he was so frightened that he wanted to sue the heavenly soldiers for trespassing on his house and stealing a lot of money and grain, and threw it out of the clouds, and only said with a smile:

"I came to report the tax payment, my Qian family has always been loyal to the king and law-abiding, but after I sent to the official, I have always ignored the housework, and only handed over the family affairs to the house slaves who are in charge of the house, but these evil slaves hide from me and do not pay taxes to the court, but fortunately, after the heavenly soldiers came, I only knew that my Qian family owed Tian tax Ding Yin for so long, so that the heavenly soldiers wanted to come to the door in person!"

"Therefore, I have come to inform the ministry to know that it is not the Qian family who deliberately defaults, but the evil slaves."

"I see! If it weren't for Qian Gong's explanation, I am afraid that this church would really mistakenly think that your government deliberately did not support the new policy. ”

Hai Rui nodded, chose to believe Qian Xingyu's words, and asked: "After the officers and soldiers of the National Taxation Department go to your mansion, can they still abide by the rules, but they are polite and courteous?" If there is a violation of the king's law, please speak out, this church will not tolerate it! ”

】

"There is no unruly."

"It deserves to be the master of kings!"

"It's like a spring breeze, asking about things in a gentle tone, and helping the old man deal with the evil slave of the evil master."

Qian Xingyu said with a smile.

Hai Rui nodded: "This is very good, and the officers and soldiers who went to the Qian Mansion should be rewarded." ”

Qian Xingyu also echoed and smiled: "Yes, the old man has planned to give them a pennant." ”

At this time, Ye Cheng, the grandson of Ye Qi, the head of the household book, and an adult male of the Ye family were escorted.

Seeing this, Hai Rui asked, "What happened?" ”

Chen Ziluan played: "Yubutang, the Ye family is so poor that they haven't copied anything, so they have to be ordered to bring them in charge." ”

Ye Cheng also raised his head and asked Hai Rui: "Hai Butang, I heard that it was your order, we really can't pay the tax silver, you have to interrogate in person, so, may I ask, how do you interrogate?" ”

"Ye Gong is wearing this cloth robe full of patches, is he deliberately proving it to the main hall, so that the main hall and the imperial court know that your mansion is very poor?"

Hai Rui did not answer Ye Cheng's words, but directly took the initiative to ask Ye Cheng.

Ye Cheng smiled coldly and was about to speak.

"Ye Gong thinks about it first and then answers."

Hai Rui suddenly stretched out his palm, faced Ye Cheng with his palm, and then pointed to the flags on both sides of the lobby:

"This hall is the minister of the imperial order, which is equivalent to asking you on behalf of the Son of Heaven at this time, if Ye Gong tells lies to this hall at this time, he will be a bully! How to deal with the deception, the public must understand! So, Ye Gong, please think about it before answering. ”

Ye Cheng couldn't help but change his face after hearing this.

"In the case of Ye Gong, the hall has long taken into account, this official and gentry is extravagant, so that the family eats a lot of food, and there are also cases;"

Hai Rui continued to speak at this time, and as he spoke, he looked at Ye Cheng and said, "But you can't owe the court a field tax and Ding Yin!" ”

Hai Rui said: "For this reason, the parish has also drawn up a script, asking the Son of Heaven for permission, and if you really can't pay taxes, you don't have to kill your head and seize their land and property to confiscate it, so as to show the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, after all, it's not a malicious tax arrears, but you can't help but punish him for the crime of dishonesty and mistrust!" ”

"Therefore, this hall asks the imperial court to set up a credit system, and in the future, those who owe more than 500 taels of silver in taxes and fail to pay them within the time limit should be included in the list of the untrustworthy, and those who are included in the list of the untrustworthy shall not join the army within three generations of the three clans; Those who have relatives in office should also be dismissed; In addition, the masters of the tax arrears should be taken into custody by the imperial court to work to compensate for the tax arrears, and they could not be released home until they made up the amount. ”

"Haigang Peak!"

Ye Cheng immediately shouted, looked at Hai Rui with a purple face, and gritted his teeth and said, "You are so ruthless!" ”

"Now please answer my question just now, why are you wearing this patched cloth clothes, are you really poor or performing?"

Hai Rui ignored Ye Cheng's roar, and only asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, it was deliberately worn for the IRS! Don't dare to bully! ”

As he spoke, Ye Cheng knelt down, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "My Ye family has silver to pay taxes, and I remembered that the Qiankong Temple has deposited 100,000 silver from me, please be gracious, don't count our Ye family into the list of dishonest households!" My Ye family is willing to pay off all the tax arrears immediately! ”

Qian Xingyu also knelt down: "The Qian family doesn't dare to owe taxes, this time they are just deceived by evil slaves, and I also ask the ministry to be gracious, don't count my Qian family into the dishonest family." ”

Hai Rui said: "The imperial approval has not come down yet, you still have a chance." ”

So, next, Ye Cheng and other big officials and gentry who deliberately wanted to pretend to be poor and lose the tax and silver still honestly paid the tax silver.

Hai Rui left Yangzhou next and took a boat to Zhenjiang and Nanjing.

On this day, it is a rainy and humid day in the south of the Yangtze River, and both sides of the bank are lush and dark green smeared in the smoke and rain, and in the hazy smoke and rain, the outline of buildings such as buildings and temples is thus modeled in the lake, looming.

"That's the official ship of the Department of Internal Revenue! Hai Jui is inside! The ship has already come over, ignition of the fire! If you hit it, you will have 200,000 taels of silver! ”

In the thick green jungle on the shore, several cannons at the temple near the river suddenly erupted tongues of fire.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Suddenly, because of the close proximity and the fact that there were several cannons, although most of the shells fell into the river and only made a large splash, the cabin of the official ship with the lantern of the National Tax Department was still blown into a pile of broken wood by a cannonball.

"Hai Jui was hit!"

The life-guard laughed happily, but then his face changed.
