dizzy!
In this extreme pull, one is so dizzy, it is really worth a thousand gold!
It may not be enough to turn the tide of the battle, but it may be able to protect teammates and get away with valuable defensive opportunities.
At the moment Lu Gong took a picture of the gavel, many officials present felt a sense of relief!
But Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others looked at them helplessly, and then left Kaifeng Mansion in a low-key manner.
This matter has been out of their control. If such a weird thing happened, if the emperor wanted to investigate, who would dare to stop it.
It can be said that the case has been developing in an unpredictable direction.
This is really a cocoon.
All the judges in Kaifeng Mansion think of Alexander!
It was past noon, but they didn't feel hungry, they sat in the hall, looking at each other.
"Prefect Lu, this matter is out of our control, just report it."
Li Kai said anxiously to Lu Gong.
Cen Yuanli, Yu Zaishen and other interrogators also nodded.
Of course they were referring to the account books of the Gouyuan, which is really a big deal.
The genuine tax bills from two years ago were actually matched with the account books from a few years ago.
This is really touching the devil.
In fact, the falsification of the account books is only secondary, and the key lies in the tax bills.
For the imperial court, tax bills are real money.
Therefore, the imperial court has always attached great importance to this. The whole process is multi-party mutual supervision. After the tax is collected every year, the tax stamp must be destroyed immediately. As a result, people have easily produced so many real tax bills.
What a blow to the tax code that would be.
The tax law is the basic disk of a country.
Lu Gong said: "Of course I will report this matter to the officials, and the officials will decide the details, but in this case, if Zhang San raises a question, we have the responsibility to investigate this matter."
Li Kai and Cen Yuanli looked at each other.
There are a hundred more after this, can you not question it?
How could Zhang San be merciful and let them go.
Just open your mouth for 50 guan.
Du Shaojing originally thought that if he pleaded guilty, he would be fined a little money.
The result is billions of points.
There is a saying that there are three caves for the cunning rabbit.
I really don't know where the case will go.
Anything can happen.
Shen House.
As soon as he entered the room, Shen Huaixiao opened his eyes and stood up.
Cao Han panted slightly and said, "It's just thanks to brother Shen's cleverness, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!"
Just now he was so nervous that he forgot to breathe.
Du Xiu was like an ant on a hot pot, shaking his hands in anxiety: "The problem is what should we do now? We are to blame for the account books!"
Du Shaojing is his relative, and he also owns Du Shaojing's land, so can he not be in a hurry.
Shen Huaixiao slapped his feet hard, "How did they manage their affairs? Can't they tell the accounts from a few years ago?"
Tang Ji said: "The situation was so urgent at that time, who would have thought that the other party had already tampered with the account books. This is a trap, waiting for us to dig into it, it is impossible to guard against!"
Du Xiu ouched: "Don't talk about this, what should we do now?"
Cao Han murmured: "Now that the officials have a handle in their hands, there is already a lot of turmoil in the court. If the officials take any action, I'm afraid they will ask you, Brother Shen, to step down as they did to Wang Wenshan."
After hearing this, Shen Huaixiao bulged his eyes and said, "Is this asking me to take my life?"
This crime is much more terrifying than Wang Hong's. It's either hell or Qiongzhou.
He didn't dare to stand up.
Cao Han said: "Other than that, we have only one path to choose."
Shen Huaixiao hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
Cao Han said: "Solve it by going to court."
Tang Ji sighed bitterly: "What's the point of beating? Those people may not even go to the hall. If they go up, they will die."
Cao Han said: "Just now in the class, Zhang San mentioned many times that he reserved criminal responsibility. It can be seen that he himself believes that so far, this is only a civil lawsuit. Since it is a civil lawsuit, reconciliation is also a means."
Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and said reluctantly: "Now, we can only ask Zhang San to let us go."
Without any hesitation, Shen Huaixiao immediately said: "If he is willing, it doesn't matter if he kneels down and begs him."
Being alive is the key.
Bianjing Law Firm.
"Scholar Wang, why are you looking at me?"
Zhang Fei, who had just returned to the office, hadn't even had a sip of tea when Wang Anshi rushed in and stared at him without saying a word.
Wang Anshi said: "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless, you can open your mouth for 50 guan, I was so scared that I broke out in sweat."
Zhang Fei said with a chuckle: "Scholar Wang shouldn't question it now, the [-] Guan remuneration is purely a friendship price."
Wang Anshi said with a chuckle: "If you can really claim 50 guan from Du Shaojing, the reward of [-] guan is indeed too little, and I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Haha."
The corner of Zhang Fei's mouth raised, "Since I dare to claim 50 guan, I can't afford to lose even a penny."
"really?"
Wang Anshi frowned and said: "But this way, for them, they are dead anyway, I'm afraid it will force them to jump over the wall in a hurry."
Zhang Fei said with a smile: "The 50 guan is for [-] of them to bear together. If it is spread out, each person is only [-] guan. As far as their wealth is concerned, there is no need to jump the wall."
"So that's the case." Wang Anshi chuckled, "That's about the same as my prediction."
But as he said that, he asked again: "But didn't you submit a basket of claims to Lu Gongzhu?"
Zhang Fei hehe said: "Don't Master Wang understand the trick of asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the spot? As far as those bases are concerned, except for ten thousand guan, which is a certainty, every other one has loopholes. If the chance is denied, it will probably take a year or two to fight to the end, and there will be more than 100 others in the future, and if everyone makes such a claim, it will be at least ten years."
"One lawsuit lasted ten years."
Wang Anshi smiled and shook his head, "Forget it. What are you going to do next?"
Zhang Fei said: "Now the other party has only one choice, which is to reconcile with me. In this way, they must pay the full tax for those tenant farmers."
Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "That was the previous condition. Now that we have such a big advantage, just paying a little tax is really too cheap for them."
Zhang Fei asked, "I don't know what Master Wang's plan is?"
Wang Anshi said: "They must be forced to change the contract with the tenant farmers to ensure that the tenant farmers no longer bear any taxes in the contract."
Once this is changed, he will ask the emperor to legislate that land taxes can no longer be borne by tenant farmers.
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I don't think it's a big problem."
Wang Anshi pondered for a while, and said, "Didn't you mention just now that you demanded a lot of money and paid back the money on the spot?"
Zhang Fei nodded.
Wang Anshi said: "Then don't ask for 50 guan, but 500 million guan."
Zhang Fei looked at him suspiciously.
Wang Anshi said: "The extra 450 million guan is used to offset the interest of those tenants and slaves."
Zhang Fei pondered a little, and said: "Now they are the meat on the chopping board, I think there should be no problem."
Wang Anshi thought about it again, "Forget it, that's all, if you ask for more, I'm afraid they won't obey orders obediently."
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that it was impossible to get everything he wanted with a single lawsuit.
If a landlord pays 50 guan, all the landlords in the world will be rebellious. Asking them 50 guan is no different from killing them. They racked their brains and drew blood from tenant farmers for ten years, but you cut it off Hu, no one can accept this.
Most of these landlords are relatives of the emperor, literati, and their influence, power, and status are not small.
At that time, they will definitely go up and challenge the compensation.
The emperor still had to compromise.
Why bother to go to that step, after all, everyone does not look up and see down.
Li family.
"what!"
Only a mournful cry was heard.
"50 guan! My 50 guan! My field! My money!"
Du Shaojing suddenly sat up, baring his teeth and claws ferociously, and shouted hysterically.
"Brother Du!"
"Mr. Du!"
Hearing a few shouts, Du Shaojing turned his head to look, and saw Li Guozhong and others standing beside the bed, looking at him with concern, swallowed, and asked, "Where is this?"
Li Guozhong hurriedly said: "This is my home."
But he also thought it was funny in his heart, this dignified member of Du was so frightened like this.
"your home?"
Du Shaojing blinked, and suddenly rushed to Li Guozhong, pulling his sleeve with one hand, "Did we win?"
Li Guozhong frowned slightly and said: "The judgment has not yet been made, but the situation is very unfavorable to us."
Du Shaojing's body softened, he let go of his hand, and suddenly slapped the bed angrily, "Hey! I knew this, we just paid that little tax back then, 50 yuan, it's better to kill me."
A big landlord named Xiong Ming next to him said: "Li Xingshou, is this lawsuit really worthless?"
Although the situation was not good for them, Li Lei and the others won a lot of their trust by arguing with reason in court.
If it were someone else, they might be too scared to run away.
This professionalism is still worthy of praise.
Li Guozhong thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Now the opponent has ironclad evidence, so that we are very passive, and we will definitely not win the fight."
As soon as these words came out, the more than ten landlords in the house all showed despair.
This is really not to blame Li Guozhong and the others. If you want to blame them, you have to blame those trash snacks in the court. The account books can be copied wrong.
Li Guozhong changed the topic, "But fifty guan is absolutely impossible."
When Du Shaojing heard this, hope lit up in his heart, "Can Li Xingshou have a solution?"
Li Guozhong frowned and said, "If we want to recover, there is only one way."
Du Shaojing said: "What method?"
"The fish will die and the net will be broken."
"The fish died and the net broke?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, which sounded scary.
Li Guozhong said: "Everyone, don't worry, what I said is deadly, just to bluff and scare the other party. If it is true about tax evasion, the royal relatives, the high officials in the court, which one is innocent, there are too many to say, just say it." For Xiangguo Temple, not a penny of the profits they get every year is legal."
Du Shaojing nodded again and again and said: "Yes, yes, there are people who pay less tax than me, but there are many people."
Li Guozhong said: "We can use this as an excuse to negotiate with Zhang San. If Zhang San insists on doing so, then we will go all out and bring in Xiangguo Temple, the emperor's relatives, and let him accept Zhang San as well." Not this time."
"Just do it."
Du Shaojing waved his hands, "The big deal is death."
Asking him to take out 50 guan is more uncomfortable than killing him.
But Xiong Ming and the others seemed to be hesitant.
They are not at the top of the food chain. Once they do this, they will offend all the people above. Basically, they will have no way to survive. Maybe the one hundred and eight of them can only go to Liangshan .
Xiong Ming asked: "Is Li Xingshou really sure about forcing the other party to make concessions?"
Li Guozhong nodded, and said again: "But the tenant farmers' tax may still be unavoidable, after all, that is their goal!"
Xiong Ming groaned: "As long as we can negotiate, let alone the tax of the tenant farmers, it is the tax of the tenant slaves. We are willing to help them pay."
Du Shaojing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, compared to that, it's a fart.
Boom boom boom!
A knock on the door interrupted his conversation.
Li Guozhong asked: "What's the matter?"
The person outside the door replied: "Master, Mr. Liu is here."
Li Guozhong hurriedly said: "Please come quickly."
The door opened, and a short, fat middle-aged man came in. This man was named Liu Yu, and he was the head of the warehouse department of the Transshipment Department. People from the third department would not dare to come here now.
Liu Yu asked, "Li Xingshou, what are you going to do?"
Li Guozhong hesitated for a moment, then said: "We plan to negotiate with Zhang San to see if we can seek a settlement?"
Liu Yu looked happy: "The above also means the same, are you sure?"
Li Guozhong nodded.
