Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 223: This is a war

Tax!

In feudal society, this is almost an eternal topic.

It is also the root of all conflicts.

Any reform of the tax system cannot be resolved in a court debate or a meeting.

This is a war.

A war that never stops.

Three divisions.

Because the Minister of Finance, Tang Jie, was still ill in bed, the emperor seemed to have no intention of appointing a new Minister of Finance immediately. After these conflicts, the judges of the third division gradually took control of the financial power.

"A lawsuit again?"

Tang Ji said excitedly: "Just go to court for everything, what do you want the Zhengshitang to do, and what do you want our third division to do."

Shen Huaixiao nodded: "Yes, this time we must not give in."

Du Xiu sighed: "But Zhao Xiang and Wen Gong failed to compete with Wang Anshi. Because Wang Anshi didn't say at the time that this part of the tax must be collected, but he thought that even if the tax was exempt, it should be handed over to the He even said that the court could order Kaifeng Prefecture to exempt this part of the tax, as long as it can give a reasonable explanation.”

"You believe this too?"

Shen Huaixiao hummed: "If you really go to court, God knows what you will ask. Haven't you learned enough lessons from the previous few times?"

Du Xiu said depressedly: "It's useless whether I believe it or not, the key is that Zhao Xiang and Wen Gong believe it."

Tang Ji said: "They agreed, but it doesn't mean that we all agree. This matter is not just about the one hundred and eight landlords. I believe most people in the court will not agree."

Shen Huaixiao nodded: "That's right. Now that things are up, there's no need to hide it. We have to play to stop this lawsuit."

Cao Han, who had been silent by the side, suddenly said: "There is no room for failure, we still have to make two-handed preparations, what if we can't stop it?"

Shen Huaixiao immediately said: "What do you think?"

Cao Han frowned: "Not yet, but if it really goes to court, the evidence is very important, and the most critical evidence is in the Sanbu Gouyuan. Brother Shen should hurry up with Sanya If it falls into the hands of others, it will be troublesome.”

Sanbu Gouyuan is affiliated to Sansi, which is in charge of the cashier account books of the three Jingu Baiwu applied by Gouji Tianxia.

The original intention was to supervise the third department, but gradually, the third department gradually controlled the three Gouyuan.

But the security of the imperial city is still in the hands of Sanya.

Du Xiu said: "This may not be enough. If the Kaifeng government thinks that this lawsuit is done, it is estimated that they will send people to ask for the tax records of recent years. We also have to send people to Kaifeng. Tell them the matter is pending and tell them not to rush the case."

Shen Huaixiao nodded, "I'll contact Sanya, you can find someone to go to Kaifeng Mansion, but try not to go to Lu Zhifu, he has a very close relationship with Wang Anshi, so go to Li Tong for judgment."

"I know that."

Censor Terrace.

"How could Duke Wen easily agree to Wang Jiefu's request?"

Censor Li Zhan said to Wen Yanbo very puzzled.

Wen Yanbo sighed: "Wang Jiefu said that we should follow the law according to the situation, but I can't say that it should be illegal according to the situation."

Gu Ji said: "Mr. Wen should be aware of the situation in Tokyo. If this really goes to court, things may get out of hand.

Those landlords followed the imperial court's decree after all. The imperial court said that they had to pay the deed tax, and they immediately went to pay it.

If they know that the court is still unwilling to let them go, and if they want to sue them in court, they will be forced to jump the wall, and this problem will become more and more serious. "

Wen Yanbo glanced at Gu Ji and showed hesitation.

Tokyo is full of relatives of the imperial family, all scholars and bureaucrats. No one knows that they are evading taxes. Otherwise, it is impossible for Wang Anshi to find out that so many people are evading taxes in such a short period of time.

I want to be an official

According to the law, the penalty for tax evasion is relatively heavy.

They will definitely counterattack with all their strength.

This is also what he is most worried about.

If you don't have diamonds, don't do this porcelain job.

Li Zhan and the others saw that Wen Yanbo was not so resolute, so they immediately stated that they would go up and ask the officials to withdraw their orders.

Wen Yanbo did not make a sound.

In fact, he was very clear in his heart that he couldn't stop such a thing, so he took a tacit attitude towards their request.

Cao Mansion.

"Deputy Marshal Lao is responsible for this matter."

Shen Huaixiao stood in front of the gate of the Cao Mansion, and bowed again.

Cao Ping clasped his fists in return and saluted: "Judge Shen, please rest assured, I will send more people to watch over your three Gouyuan later, and I will never allow anyone to obstruct you."

"Thank you, Deputy Commander. I will take my leave."

The guards of this imperial city are all in the hands of the Sanya Imperial Army, and Cao Jiagui is the number one relative today, and Cao Ping is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Cao. His influence in the Imperial Army cannot be underestimated.

It can be seen from this that Empress Dowager Cao is still very powerful, and Empress Dowager Gao can only stand aside for now.

Although Empress Dowager Cao's family education is very strict, but as a foreign relative, it is impossible for her to not be tricky, and she must be against this matter.

Shen Huaixiao immediately ran to Cao Ping for help.

Cao Ping readily agreed, but after sending Shen Huaixiao away, he immediately told the old man next to him, "You ask Donger to go to Zhang San's place, find out what Zhang San is saying, and look at Wang Jiefu What is the plan?"

Kaifeng Prefecture.

"Isn't this matter already settled?"

Li Kai looked at Du Xiu in surprise.

Du Xiu said: "It's not so easy. At present, many ministers have already filed a petition to ask the officials to stop the Kaifeng government from hearing the case. This is Wang Jiefu's deliberate revenge. This precedent cannot be set. If Li Tong does not believe it, he can wait Wait a minute, after I leave, someone will definitely come to the judge."

Li Kai showed a tangled expression, "But the higher-ups have ordered, and Wang Jiefu is also watching, if we ignore it, how can we make a deal."

Du Xiu hurriedly said: "We just hope that the Kaifeng government can wait a little longer, and don't be in a hurry to hear the trial. In a few days, there will be a turning point in this matter, and then Li Tong will make plans."

Of course Li Kai doesn't want to file this lawsuit, it's too offending, but he also doesn't want to get involved, otherwise he might lose his official position, after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay, I can wait a little longer, But if the government does not withdraw the decree, then our Kaifeng government can only make a fair decision.”

Du Xiu immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Li Tongpan, for your understanding. We will never cause trouble for you, Li Tongpan."

Speaking, Du Xiu asked again: "If the court finally opens, I wonder how your Kaifeng government will judge it?"

Li Kai hesitated for a long time, and said in a low voice: "In fact, the prefect Lu is the same as Wen Gong, and he doesn't want to urge those tenant farmers to pay their taxes. He has dissuaded Wang Jiefu before. As long as there is no too much evidence, he is caught by the other party. It is also a light sentence."

Du Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Li Tong, for telling me."

Li Kaidao: "I can only help you so much. In the end, the prefect of Kaifeng has the final say."

Du Xiu nodded and said, "I know, I know."

In a hut outside the imperial city.

I saw a figure, came to the door, looked around, and then quickly flashed into the house.

But I saw a person standing inside, it was Li Bao.

"Brother Leopard is really good at predicting things."

The man excitedly said to Li Bao: "Just now, Vice Marshal Cao ordered to send more people to guard the three Gouyuan."

Li Bao sneered: "The accounts of the Sanbugouyuan are the most critical evidence in this case, and they will not easily let these accounts fall into the hands of others."

The man hehe said: "But they never thought that if they didn't do this, our people would not be able to enter the Sanbu Gouyuan."

Li Bao asked: "Everything is well arranged inside."

The man nodded and said: "It has been prepared, and we have checked it carefully. Since the cadastre has not been replaced much in recent years, the abandoned accounts a few years ago are similar to the current ones. It is necessary to compare and check carefully. It can be found that as long as our people enter the Sanbu Gouyuan, all the accounts of some people can be exchanged overnight."

Li Bao nodded: "You must be careful, there is plenty of time at this time, they are still playing, asking the officials to withdraw their orders, and they should not make any moves for the time being."

Bianjing Law Firm.

"Huh? Why are you two here? I haven't seen you recently."

Looking at Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi, these two brats, Zhang Fei was very surprised.

Cao Dongdong squatted on a chair, while peeling the oranges, he said carelessly: "It's too hot in the city, I went to the suburbs with Xiao Ma and the others to escape the summer heat."

Zhang Fei asked, "Just the two of you?"

"Of course not." Ma Xiaoyi said, "There are also Brother Chun and the others, oh, brother also invited more than ten singing girls to join in the fun."

Nima! It's nice to have money! I want to go too!

Zhang Fei couldn't help sighing with emotion, sat down and asked, "It's the hottest season now, why did you come back?"

Ma Xiaoyi excitedly said: "Isn't it that I heard that you are going to sue again recently? Last time, Brother San promised me to help me get things."

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, "Don't even mention it, you might really be useful this time."

Ma Xiaoyi nodded excitedly and said: "Third Brother, just tell me."

Cao Dongdong looked down on Ma Xiaoyi: "You worthless guy, you can only do hard work. Hehe!"

Ma Xiaoyi glanced at Cao Dongdong depressedly, "Brother, you promised me not to tell."

Zhang Fei gossiped: "What's the matter?"

Cao Dongdong smiled, "Ask Xiaoma, I promise him not to tell."

Zhang Fei looked at Ma Xiaoyi again.

Ma Xiaoyi blushed, "I also wanted to be a pen, so I bought a copy of Song Xingtong, and it turned out...!"

Cao Dongdong said with a chuckle: "As a result, a month has passed, and he still hasn't read the first page."

Ma Xiaoyi glared at Cao Dongdong angrily.

Zhang Fei asked curiously: "Little Ma, are you illiterate?"

Ma Xiaoyi said: "Of course I can read, but Song Xingtong just looked at it and wanted to fall asleep."

Cao Dongdong laughed happily.

Ma Xiaoyi rolled his eyes, "Brother, don't forget, we have a mission."

Cao Dongdong was taken aback, stretched his feet under the table, sat down, looked at Zhang Fei solemnly and said, "Zhang San, do you still remember why I hired you in the first place?"

Zhang Fei was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Remember! Help you deal with widows or prostitutes."

"Ahem. We haven't found anyone yet, so we won't talk about it first." Cao Dongdong shook his head again and again, "If you say that we have paid less land tax, will you help us?"

Oh. So it was for this matter, it seems that his father asked him to come. Zhang Fei said: "You can rest assured in the Yamen, if anyone sues you, I will definitely try my best to help you get away with it."

Cao Dongdong slapped the table excitedly, "I know that this office is not mistaken."

Ma Xiaoyi asked: "But the third brother is suing those big landlords for tax evasion recently, brother and his family. Uh, uh.!"

Before he finished speaking, Cao Dongdong covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense."

Zhang Fei chuckled: "Don't worry, none of these one hundred and eight people is my client. If it is my client, I will certainly not sue."

Speaking of this, he paused for a while, and said again: "But before I advise you to do such a thing, you still have to discuss it with me. We promise not to go to court as much as possible. If we go to court, anything is possible happen."

Cao Dongdong tilted his neck and leaned in front of Zhang Fei, "That is to say, can you help our family evade taxes?"

Zhang Fei rubbed his eyes depressedly: "Provide legal advice."

I'm very sorry, I have been doing nucleic acid for four consecutive days, and the queue was especially long this afternoon. I came back late and failed to update in time.
