Chapter 12 Commercial Taxation

Yicang replied in a voice: "Hey, tomorrow the government will come to seal our inn, except for the group who just came today, everyone else heard the news and felt filthy, so they didn't want to stay here, so they all went to Xicheng's 'There is an inn' to stay overnight." ”

The immature child asked again: "Dad, why did you provoke the officers and soldiers? Our shop has always been very responsible for doing business!"

"It's not that damn Wei Zhongxian gelding, breaking the rules left by Taizu and forcibly increasing the taxes of our merchants, and most of the money earned by merchants must be handed over to the government・・・・・・ "The old voice said indignantly: "I thought that with the relationship between your uncle and the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites, even if I pay a little less tax, then Wei Gelding will not dare to do anything to me." But this Wei Zhongxian's power is so huge, it doesn't even matter to your uncle's face. ”

Then the man cried and said, "Our shop is a small business, is it easy for me to make money, and I have to be harsh on so much money." Most of this gelding is abusing his power for personal gain, and I don't know how much money we handed over was embezzled by him. "I sniffed and cried.

"Although this gelding dog is hateful, the emperor is really mediocre today, and he even allowed him to loot the people's fat and ointment!Dad, what should we do now?" the child also said angrily.

"Let's pack up our things and spend the night in the store. Those officers and soldiers should come tomorrow at noon to force me to pay the money, and if we get up early tomorrow and dress up, we should be able to get out of the city. The old voice said.

"Don't we want this shop, this house is money!" the child asked.

The old voice said: "Hehe, the taxes I owe in the past few years are enough to buy two such shops, so we still have a good deal." ”

"Well, Daddy, why don't we run now!" said the child.

The old voice said: "Silly boy, now that the city gates are closed, how can you run?"

・・・・・・

Yue Buqun listened to the conversation between the father and son, and learned that this incident was caused by the owner of this store owing taxes. But since it was a matter of the government, he didn't bother to ask.

Yue Buqun spent all night warming his dantian with "sleeping skills", so he was awake all night. When I arrived, I heard a knock at the door of the inn!

"Knock knock!" the beating was very violent, and there was no guilt that disturbed people's dreams, and it was obvious that the person who came was very justified.

At the same time, a frightened scream came from the west wing: "Ah!"

Yue Buqun listened intently, and only listened to the old voice of the old man in the west wing, and said in a low voice: "Hurry up, son, hurry up, let's go through the back door, the official is here!"

Immediately after that, there was the sound of "kicking" footsteps on the floor, and it rushed all the way to the backyard.

The door opened in the backyard, only to hear another shout from the back door: "You are not small!

Yue Buqun was curious, opened the window facing the backyard, and looked down. I saw three men with thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing red fast clothes, standing at the back door and scolding the shopkeeper of the inn. They carried long swords around their waists, and they were majestic, so imposing.

The shopkeeper trembled all over, and only explained: "The official brother misunderstood, we just went out to buy something and came back in a while, not to escape." ”

"Okay, okay, you don't have to explain!" The official at the head said impatiently: "We won't beat around the bush with you, the taxes you owe, a total of 200,000 taels, will be paid today!"

The shopkeeper said aggrievedly: "Brother Guancha, the little one really doesn't have so much money." You also know that those who do our business are doing small businesses, how can they have so much money to pay taxes, and it would be good to be able to eat together. ”

"Li Zhutou, don't bother with him, if he doesn't pay him, let's arrest him back!" said a slightly shorter official in the back to the leader.

That Li Zhutou smiled, ignored him, but took out a booklet from his arms, opened it and read: "Qian Ketong, on March 20, the second year of the Apocalypse, bought a house in Qiantang County, Hangzhou, with a total price of 300,000 taels of silver. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, his face changed drastically, his face turned red, he held his breath, and he couldn't say a word. Obviously, the money that Li Zhutou said is the same as him.

"On the 13th day of December in the third year of the Apocalypse, a former dynasty garden was purchased in Tiger Hill, Suzhou, with a total value of 1 million taels of silver. Reading this, Li Zhutou couldn't help but mutter: "You have a lot of money, and you still say that you don't have money?" You have money to buy a house, but you have no money to pay taxes, how can you cheat ghosts!"

"Fart! You're framing, I haven't bought a house in another place at all, and the only house I have is in a local town!"

Qian Ketong suddenly shouted loudly, his face was not red and his heart was not beating.

"My father-in-law is right, businessmen are really shameless, it seems that there is really no way to reason today. Li Zhutou yawned and said to the two subordinates behind: "Arrest him, take him back, and torture him slowly." ”

The two officials in the back were about to make a move, and Qian Ketong's son suddenly walked in front of Qian Ketong, protected his father with his meager body, and said loudly to the catchers: "If you want to arrest my father, pass me first!"

The slightly shorter official said: "Go and go, don't interfere with the affairs of adults and children." Ignoring the existence of children, he grabbed Qian Ketong directly with both hands.

Unbeknownst to him, the kid was stubborn by nature, raised his right leg, and kicked the crotch of the short official. The short officer was caught off guard, and was kicked in the lower body at once.

The dwarf screamed, immediately covered his lower body, and rolled to the ground at once, screaming. This place is extremely vulnerable, even if the other party is a child, this kick makes him feel extremely painful when he blows it with all his strength.

"Haha! I know how good I am! I see that you dare to bully my father in the future!" Seeing that the official was so embarrassed, the child smiled proudly.

"Little brute, you are so ruthless! Lao Tzu is going to slaughter you today!" After the official was ridiculed, he felt very humiliated, and immediately endured the severe pain and jumped up. Then, without saying anything, he pulled out the long sword at his waist and waved it angrily at the child.

"Don't!" two voices rang out at the same time. One of them is Li Zhutou standing at the door, and the other is Qian Ketong, the child's father. This money can be with Aiko's heart, and before the mouth of the speaker was closed, the body involuntarily rushed towards the dwarf.

This pounce was very clumsy and had a very unfortunate consequence. Originally, this dwarf didn't intend to kill anyone, but just wanted to scare the child, but Qian Ketong pounced like this, and just hit the tip of his sword. The dwarf wanted to put away his sword, but the sudden sharp pain in his crotch made his hands tremble.

With a "snort", the long sword in the hand of the dwarf catcher was inserted into Qian Ketong's fat body crookedly.
