"As far as I know, Fang Xu has opened dozens of grain stores in Fengdu City, he shouldn't pay such a tax in a year, right?" Yao asked.

Zhang Zhiwei explained: "Although Fang Xu has dozens of grain stores, the business in the store is not too good, so he pays these taxes every year. ”

"He told you it was sluggish?"

"It's true that he said it."

"Nonsense!"

After a pause, Ah Yao continued: "Lord Zhang, do you know how many grain stores there are in Fengdu City? ”

"This ......"

Zhang Zhiwei is busy with official business on weekdays, so he naturally has no time to take care of these small things that are not within the scope of his duties.

"There are nearly 30 grain stores in Fengdu City, most of the grain stores are doing some individual business, but Fang Xu's family is doing regular customer business, and there are many large orders from other places every year, he can be said to have made a lot of money in Fengdu, why is the business sluggish?"

"This ......"

Seeing that Zhang Zhiwei didn't know anything about this matter, Ah Yao comforted: "I know that the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce are not under the control of the imperial court, you just need to receive their taxes on time, and you don't blame you for not knowing this." ”

Zhang Zhiwei wiped the sweat from his forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But tax evasion is a big deal after all, and if it is not properly dealt with and learned by other merchants, it will be out of control.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Ah Yao with a worried face, "If Fang Xu doesn't admit it, how should this matter be handled?" ”

"I have a solution, but I don't know if the adults are willing to cooperate."

Zhang Zhiwei nodded immediately, "As long as the girl can help me solve this matter, let me cooperate as much as I want." ”

"Okay, we can ...... it like this"

Ah Yao told Zhang Zhiwei about her plan.

After Zhang Zhiwei listened, the gloom on his face suddenly dissipated, and he gave Ah Yao a thumbs up in admiration.

"It's still Miss A-Yao's wit, so she did what the girl said."

Ah Yao curled the corners of her lips in satisfaction.

In the middle of the night, the official brought Fang Xu to the mansion.

The official didn't tell Fang Xu what had happened, but just asked him to take the account book with him.

But Fang Xu also vaguely guessed something.

After stepping into the mansion and seeing Zhang Zhiwei, Fang Xu respectfully greeted him.

"I wonder what the adults are summoning the grass people early in the morning?"

Zhang Zhiwei had a gloomy face and turned his back to Fang Xu.

According to Ah Yao's plan, Zhang Zhiwei met Fang Xu alone and talked to Fang Xu about tax evasion, while Ah Yao wanted to pretend to check the account book.

When Zhang Zhiwei and Fang Xu were almost finished, she followed the official to check the account book.

Ah Yao had already investigated the situation of several stores under Fang Xu's name in advance, just waiting to look at the account book to find ironclad evidence to convict.

Zhang Zhiwei turned around slowly, always with a gloomy face, "Boss Fang is here." ”

"Yes."

"All the account books that the official wants have been brought?"

Fang Xu pointed to the account books he brought, "The account books of several stores under the name of the grass people, as well as the summary account books, are all here, I don't know if the adults are going to ...... this."

"Someone anonymously reported that Boss Fang evaded taxes."

When Fang Xu heard this, he suddenly raised his hand, "Wronged!" The grass people have always been law-abiding in their business, and they will never do such things that violate the law and discipline. ”

"The official is naturally willing to believe Boss Fang, but everyone has reported to the official, so the official naturally wants to find out about this matter."

"Your Excellency is very right."

Zhang Zhiwei looked at the account book calmly and said, "The official has already found someone to check the accounts, let's talk about it after checking the account books!" ”

"Yes."

Zhang Zhiwei gave the official a look, and the official immediately brought in the disguised A-Yao.

Ah Yao was dressed in a dark blue men's robe, with a small hat on her head, a mustache at the corner of her mouth, and came in with an abacus.

"My lord, here comes the account office."

"Bring Boss Fang's annual tax records and give them to Mr. for careful inspection."

"Yes."

Seeing that the official brought the tax records, Fang Xu suddenly panicked.

"My lord, do you want to check so carefully?"

Zhang Zhiwei held the shelf and said with a smile: "Since it is to be investigated, it is natural to investigate more carefully." ”

"Your Excellency is right."

Seeing that Mr. Bookkeeper opened the account book, Fang Xu was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

Ah Yao carefully checked one by one, carefully compared, the speed of the inspection was very slow, so slow that Fang Xu had no bottom in his heart, and the whole person was anxious.

Half an hour has passed, and A-Yao hasn't finished checking yet.

Looking at Zhang Zhiwei, who was sitting in the hall drinking tea leisurely, Fang Xu couldn't help but step forward.

"My lord, can you take a step to speak?"

Zhang Zhiwei glanced at Ayao and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it here!" ”

"It's a little inconvenient here."

Zhang Zhiwei got up slowly, "Let's go!" Go next door and say. ”

"Thank you, sir."

After Zhang Zhiwei and Fang Xu left, Ah Yao's hand turning the page immediately stopped.

The first time she went to the Chamber of Commerce, Song Yi thoroughly explored the bottom of no one in the Chamber of Commerce, so that she knew the people of the Chamber of Commerce well.

She paid attention to the few people who targeted her in the Chamber of Commerce.

What this Fang Xu does is the most ordinary and the best business to do - grain.

This person is good at opportunism, and naturally he does not do much about tax evasion.

Originally, she could have turned a blind eye, who let him find death moved Li Lin.

Fang Xu, your evil consequences are here!

Zhang Zhiwei and Fang Xu came to the next room, and Fang Xu hurriedly said, "My lord, when will those account books be checked?" ”

"I won't check it after I check it, Boss Fang, don't worry."

"But there's something going on in my store, I can't stay here all the time, can I?"

Fang Xu took out a handful of silver tickets and stuffed them into Zhang Zhiwei's hand, "My lord has worked hard, I am a person who abides by public discipline, and I hope that my lord will be accommodating." ”

Zhang Zhiwei frowned and looked at the silver ticket in his hand, "What does Boss Fang mean by this?" ”

"As long as it is convenient for the adults, I will obediently give as much silver as possible."

"This official doesn't understand what Boss Fang means."

"Looking at the entire Fengdu City, how many people are doing business cleanly? Take Xiao Mu before, didn't he just rely on his own sister in the palace, and no one in Fengdu dared to provoke him?

After Xiao Mu died, we people can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and I hope that adults will give us a way to live, isn't it good for everyone to get rich together? ”

Zhang Zhiwei did not refuse the silver ticket, and asked rhetorically: "Do you admit that you have evaded taxes?" ”

"I still say the same thing, there are few clean people in Fengdu City, so why should adults stick to this?"

There is no one in the world who does not love money, and if there is, it must be that there is not enough money.

Fang Xu took out another stack of silver tickets and stuffed them into Zhang Zhiwei's hand, "As long as the adults are willing to make it convenient, I have earned the silver, and naturally I will not lose the adult's share." ”

Zhang Zhiwei threw the silver ticket on Fang Xu's face, and reprimanded angrily, "Bold! What do you think of this officer? ”

"Adult ......"

"Someone! Mr. Don't need to check, Fang Xu himself has already confessed. ”

Fang Xu's face changed suddenly, "My lord, I, I'm ......"

Looking at the official who pushed the door in, Fang Xu couldn't hold back any longer, "Your Excellency, ......"

"Take him down, immediately bring someone to seal up the shop in his name, and bring back the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper for careful interrogation."

"Yes."

"Your Excellency...... I was wronged! ”

When Fang Xu was taken out by the officials, Ah Yao happened to come out of the main hall.

He glared at Ah Yao viciously, "Who are you?" Why do you want to hurt me like this? ”

If this person hadn't checked his account books, how could he have gone to Zhang Zhiwei to say those words and blew up the crime in front of Zhang Zhiwei.

"Fang Dongjia doesn't recognize me?"

The familiar voice made Fang Xu's eyes widen, "It's you!" ”

"Didn't you expect me to be here?"

"You've not been ......"

Ah Yao interrupted him, "All of your people have been killed by me, and you should be able to help them collect their bodies when you go outside the city now." ”

"You ......"

Ah Yao slowly approached him, lowered her voice and said, "This is all the result of your own evil and you can't blame others." ”

Fang Xu stared at her for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"Do you think that if you bring me down, you will be able to gain a foothold in the Fengdu Chamber of Commerce? You'll never be able to gain a foothold in the Fengdu Chamber of Commerce. ”

"What do you mean?" Yao asked.

"Do you think that if you are the daughter of Soho, you can replicate the glory of Soho? I tell you, impossible!

Just because you are Soho's daughter, countless people regard you as a thorn in the side, and your fate will be the same as mine after all, hahaha......"

Ah Yao's brows furrowed, "Why do they regard me as a thorn in their side?" ”

"Don't play dumb, don't you know why?"

"Fang Xu ......"

The official urged: "Stop talking nonsense! Come on. ”

Fang Xu sneered at Ah Yao, "I'm waiting for you to come and be my companion." ”

After speaking, Fang Xu was taken away by the officials.

What exactly does Fang Xu know?

She wanted to find a chance to meet Fang Xu again.

After Fang Xu left, Zhang Zhiwei walked out of the next room with a grateful face.

"Thank you, Miss A-Yao, for your advice and help me solve a problem."

"Your Excellency is gracious."

Zhang Zhiwei asked suspiciously: "How did the girl learn about Fang Xu's tax evasion?" ”

"I happened to bump into him talking to a vendor from other places, and I happened to listen to it a few times."

"That's exactly what happened."

"The rest will be investigated by the adults, so I'll go first."

"Okay."

Zhang Zhiwei sent Ah Yao out of the mansion and watched her go away before returning to the mansion.

On the way back, Ah Yao kept wondering what Fang Xu knew.

Back in Su Mansion, she immediately came to Li Lin's room and told Li Lin about Fang Xu.

Li Lin still didn't react, Yun Niang said: "You deserve it!" He was finally retributed. ”

"When the specific amount of Fang Xu's tax evasion is verified, he will probably be expelled from Fengdu, and he will no longer be able to do business in Fengdu, and his years of hard work will be in vain, which can be regarded as a punishment for him." Ah Yao said.

Yun Niang clasped her hands together, "It's really evil and evil retribution!" ”

Ah Yao approached Li Lin a little and said, "I have to send you back to the palace today, if you don't go back, the emperor and Concubine Wan should be worried, can you?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then I'll help you freshen up."

A-Yao freshened up and dressed Li Lin, changed her clothes again, and sent Li Lin back to the palace.

After entering the palace, he happened to meet Riemann on the way through the Lanyue Palace.

Li Man has always been at odds with Li Lin, seeing that there was a red mark on Li Lin's neck, he always lowered his head without speaking, and sneered at Li Lin when he opened his mouth.

"Yo! Fourth Princess, what's wrong with today? Someone can't be bullied, right? ”

Li Man's words instantly reminded Li Lin of the events of that day, and Li Lin instinctively shrank and hid behind Ah Yao.
