Judge of the Song Dynasty Chapter 634: Golden two hours
In the past, during the intermission, it was Zhang Fei who left a very handsome figure for everyone. In order to be handsome, he would not even wait for Xu Zhiqian, but today is different. He just dropped the hammer and saw both sides A large group of people at the VIP seats stood up and hurriedly walked outside, which made Zhang Fei sigh with emotion: "It seems that they finally know how to make me unhappy.
This **** revenge! "So, this time, he patiently waited for Xu Zhiqian.
Xu Zhiqian quickly packed up the paperwork, then went out with Zhang Fei, glanced at the empty VIP seats from the corner of the eye, "Can they think of a way?" Zhang Fei smiled and said, "What should you ask, they What kind of posture will you admit defeat.
" "Ouch! "The elderly Yuan Jiang put her hands on her knees. When she stood up slowly, she looked left and right. Where is the person? Wei Yingfang and the others had long since disappeared, and only Cai Yanqing and Zhuo Qun were around. "Prefect Cai, let's!" Cai Yanqing laughed and said, "Go to the restaurant outside and eat something casually."
" "Also! please! ""please! "The two walked outside slowly.
"Is it the same in Beijing back then?" Cai Yanqing asked.
Yuan Jiang couldn't help recalling the thrilling tax battle, and said: "It's more terrifying than this!" Cai Yanqing was startled, and asked, "Is it just an appetizer now?" I don't know either, after all, I really don't have any contact with the tax department.
"The more than one hour of the lunch break is really crucial to the officials of Wei Yingfang.
Because the trial in the morning has completely disrupted their plans, and it is the first time they have felt the terror of the tax department, such a large-scale instigation of rebellion, and all kinds of verification methods, who can prevent it? ah! Now they are no longer worried about money, but about official positions and lives.
Because it involves a lot of illegal tax evasion.
This is very fatal.
Li Family Bookstore.
"What the **** were you doing just now? Are you afraid to say what the other party asked you?" Wei Yingfang didn't care so much, and when he saw Li Min and Lu Bangxing, he questioned them.
In the past, both sides could fight back and forth in lawsuits, but today, it was a unilateral massacre, and Li Min and Lu Bangxing didn't even fart.
Li Min was very aggrieved and said: "Wei Tong judged clearly, it's not that we didn't dare to speak, but they didn't tell us anything, and we didn't know anything about the evidence the other party presented. We also need to talk about evidence, but we don’t have anything in our hands, so how can we argue about it!” Lu Bangxing also said: “When they hired us, they made it very clear, just make sure they won’t be wronged, if the other party finds out evidence, they will admit it.
"Because these big rich people have been confused by employees like Batou before, and the evidence in the hands of the employees is given by them, so they are ready to be punished, anyway, it's just this little money.
Unexpectedly, they were betrayed by Batou and the others.
Of course, it is not without reason that they believe in Ba Tou so much. After all, Ba Tou and they are both local snakes in this area. They know each other well and know who the other is. How could it be possible for a villain with money to become loyal to the tax department immediately.
Before, they were really sure about this.
In fact, they are also right. The hired employees of Batou did not betray them, but they don't know that the tax department has an extremely hidden force.
"You guys!" "Wei Tong judge calm down.
" Cao Yi hurriedly pulled Wei Yingfang back, now is not the time to quarrel, there is not much time left for them, and he said to Li Min: "Based on the two of you, how should we deal with it now? "Li Min said truthfully: "At present, the other party has solid evidence and there are some witnesses. According to the other party's statement in court, the tax department has already controlled their warehouse. It is impossible to win this lawsuit.
" Cao Yi asked again: "What about the crime of selling bootleg alcohol? Li Min said: "I have tried my best on this, and I hope to return it to an old account. After all, the Public Security Bureau does not settle old accounts, and judging from the chief judge's tone, it seems that there is room for negotiation in this regard, but the key lies in the procuratorate."
" At this time, a court policeman came over, "Li Erbi, Lu Erbi, Zheng Dawei, Wu Jun and the others want to see you.
" "I see, I'll be right there.
" Li Min looked at Wei Yingfang, Cao Yi and others again.
Cao Yi frowned and said, "They should be planning to plead guilty.
" Li Min nodded and said: "Probably yes.
" Wei Yingfang asked again: "Can't pleading guilty escape the investigation of the procuratorate? "Li Min shook his head and said: "Probably not, but we can use the condition of pleading guilty to negotiate with the tax department. After all, it involves so much evidence and so many people. If we fight with all our strength, it may delay for a while.
" Having said that, he sighed, "If you had told us about these things earlier, then we could have figured out a way, maybe we could find a breakthrough.
" "What are you talking about now.
" Wei Yingfang's intestines were almost crystallized with regret, and he said without much hesitation, "Just do as you say, plead guilty and negotiate with them to ensure that the procuratorate will not pursue their remaining charges.
"He really doesn't care about the money now.
"I see.
" Li Min nodded, and went out with Lu Bangxing and two assistants.
As soon as they left, Wei Yingfang couldn't hold on any longer, and slumped on the chair, muttering to himself: "This tax department is really terrible, terrible.
" Cao Yi also sighed secretly, with a trace of frustration in his eyes.
Although his elder brother Cao Han had repeatedly reminded him and sent letters several times, they were defeated in the end.
"Wei Tongpan, the two Erbis can only negotiate with the tax department, but they can hardly shake the procuratorate, so we have to find a way to put pressure on the procuratorate.
" "Let's talk about it first.
" Wei Yingfang rubbed his forehead, "Don't fall for Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, it's for Pei Gong's trick.
" Cao Yi nodded.
If they came forward to negotiate with the procuratorate now, wouldn't that be sent to their door? If the procuratorate refuses to agree, what should they do? What Li Min and the others had guessed was right, those rich men invited them over to discuss the matter of pleading guilty.
The trial in the morning had completely broken their inner defenses. They didn't dare to take any chances anymore, and now they only hoped to leave alive.
As for money? This life is almost gone, and I need a fart of money! imperial court.
"There are still a lot of things to do in the afternoon, so hurry up and take a rest.
" After lunch, Xu Zhiqian said to Zhang Fei and Cai Jing.
"Yes, Master!" Shangguan Jun cupped his hands.
When they are resting, they are still used to addressing the teacher's wife.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Zhiqian, don't be so anxious, I guess there is nothing to do in the afternoon.
" Xu Zhiqian said in astonishment: "Is there no trial this afternoon? "Zhang Fei laughed and said: "They have been scared out of their wits, and probably don't have the guts to continue the trial. If I'm not wrong, Li Min and the others are now negotiating with Zhengwen.
" Xu Zhiqian frowned and said, "How could they admit defeat so quickly? "Cai Jing said: "But for them, no matter what, they can't continue the trial. Once their illegal income is made public, the procuratorate will face greater pressure from public opinion. Maybe the procuratorate wants to negotiate with them at that time. To be forced by public opinion, things may get out of hand.
" Zhang Fei nodded with a smile and said: "Cai Jing is right, this noon is very important to them.
" At this time, the Hezhong Prefecture Law Firm and Erbi are negotiating.
The defendants have all agreed to plead guilty, and this is the only bargaining chip in Li Min's hands.
Conversely, if those defendants plead not guilty, Li Min and the others can only be beaten passively.
"We have enough evidence to question them one by one, so we don't think you have any qualifications to negotiate terms with us.
" Qiu Zhengwen said domineeringly when he came up.
After all, he has been with Zhang Fei for so long, so he still has some negotiating skills.
Li Min smiled calmly and calmly: "Yes, I admit that we are bound to lose this lawsuit, but with so many people, so much evidence, and so much money involved, even if it is an extra penny, we can do it." Filed an appeal, which made the lawsuit drag on.
Furthermore, your tax department is only asking for money, and if they plead guilty and accept punishment, won't your goal be achieved? And why bother to make things difficult for everyone.
" After hearing this, Qiu Zhengwen couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking, if the other party stalks and asks about the origin of every penny, the lawsuit will indeed drag on for some time.
So, he looked at Chen Ming again.
Win is sure to win, but whether your tax department is willing to procrastinate is up to you to decide.
Chen Ming raised his eyelids, looked at Li Min and said, "The only duty of our tax department is to inspect taxes. If you can plead guilty and accept punishment, our tax department can promise not to pursue it, but we can't control the procuratorate. won't listen to us.
" Seeing that Chen Ming let go, Lu Bangxing immediately said: "Since the tax department's only duty is to inspect taxes, of course it also has the right not to hand over the evidence to the procuratorate for the sake of tax inspections.
This is just one, and the second is that in the last question-and-answer meeting, the procuratorate has always emphasized that what they are defending is the interests of the country, the monarch, and the people.
But what's the benefit to everyone if this lawsuit drags on, more than a hundred people, how long will it take to go to trial, and all the manpower and material resources of the public security bureau will have to be invested in it, I'm afraid it will delay other things, the loss outweighs the gain! Third, there are so many people selling bootleg alcohol and tea outside, why don't they investigate? In fact, this is not a problem with the sale of bootleg liquor at all, but a problem with the imperial court system. Take the sale of bootleg liquor as an example. The right to brew liquor is almost controlled by those rich tycoons. In terms of shipping costs, the price is so high, it is conceivable that those rural households cannot drink it, which is why many rural households are secretly brewing wine.
" After these words, Chen Ming's expression became a little hesitant.
Li Min continued to hit the rails while it was hot: "Chen tax envoy, Xiaomin dare to say that now that the tax law has changed, it is calculated as the total income. Those rural households who sell bootleg alcohol have to pay taxes, so they can't be counted as income." Moonshine.
" Chen Ming glanced at him and asked, "Are all of you Erbis so eloquent? Li Min clapped his hands and said, "Chen Tax Envoy is too good-for-nothing."
" "All right! "Chen Ming nodded: "I can talk to the procuratorate, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful.
And I also have a condition.
" Li Min asked: "Chen tax envoy, please tell me.
" Chen Ming said: "I must ensure the safety of those witnesses, so those defendants must terminate any relationship with my witnesses.
Of course, we will also provide legal compensation for the money they owe.
" Hearing this, Li Min couldn't help thinking, you guys are really calculating! You must have been waiting for us here early in the morning! He nodded and said, "We can agree.
" Now the most important thing is to save your life. As for retaliation, you have to wait until you come out alive.
Now that Chen Ming is willing to talk, it is already very successful for them.
Because in this case, they are not qualified to negotiate with the procuratorate. Why should the procuratorate deal with them? The interests of both parties are completely different.
You must know that the purpose of the procuratorate is to bring these people to justice.
Only the tax department can discuss this kind of matter, because the intervention of the procuratorate will affect the interests of the tax department, and both parties are trying to defend the interests of the country and the monarch.
As the businesses in front of the imperial court are built one after another, the income of the imperial court increases, so there is no need to personally send people to entertain inspectors, royal police and witnesses. The lunch and lunch breaks of the procuratorate are all arranged It's in the backyard of the Big Dog Restaurant, but this is only temporary, because the branch of Ailanlou over there has already specially designed a resting place for them.
Fan is definitely going to **** this deal, because their Baifanlou is taking the high-end route.
This is the "culture" that Zhang Fei first told him.
When Chen Ming came to the rest area of the inspectors, he found many people sitting inside, including Yuan Jiang, Cai Yanqing, Wei Yingfang and others.
Su Zhe looked helpless.
"So many people?" Chen Ming was slightly taken aback.
Wei Yingfang got up and cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations! Congratulations! The tax department became famous in the first battle, which opened our eyes!"
" "With the tax department here, why worry about financial failure.
" When these officials saw Chen Ming's arrival, they were overjoyed, and immediately stood up, gave a rainbow fart, and discussed the matter. On the surface, they must want the tax department to stand aside. Tax collection is the most important task of the government. Even if they proceed from the reality, they have to compromise, because they don't even know how much evidence Chen Ming has for them.
"Everyone is serious. The lawsuit is not over yet, and Chen dare not claim merit.
" Chen Ming still had that paralyzed face, and said to Su Zhe again: "Chief Prosecutor Su, there is something I want to talk to you about.
" Su Zhe nodded, but before the word "good" came out, He Chunlin shyly said, "Chen tax envoy, you have to hide anything from us and talk to Chief Prosecutor Su in private. Support your tax department.
" This is so true, Chen Ming doesn't know how to reply, I don't want to hide anyone from you.
Be funny! Yuan Jiang nodded and said: "Yes! Everyone is very concerned about the taxation. If there is any problem, we can help.
" Wei Yingfang and the others nodded.
In fact, they came to guard Su Zhe. Now that the lawsuit is here, the focus is not on money, but the procuratorate. After all, the tax department is definitely hopeless.
They were worried that Chen Ming would not be able to persuade Su Zhe alone, so they waited here and helped Chen Ming put pressure on the procuratorate.
At the same time, they kidnapped both Yuan Jiang and Cai Yanqing.
Of course Yuan Jiang is willing to sell their favors. After all, the government's policies must be implemented by them.
A smile flashed in Su Zhe's eyes, but he pretended to be helpless and said: "There are no outsiders here, if it's not something confidential, let's talk about it together.
" "I don't care.
" "Chen tax envoy, please sit down quickly.
" As soon as Chen Ming said that, these officials really wanted to stuff the chairs directly under their buttocks.
After sitting down, Chen Ming immediately said: "It's like this, the one hundred and thirty-two defendants are now willing to plead guilty and accept punishment, but they have one condition, that is, they will no longer be held accountable for selling bootleg alcohol and tea. charges.
" After hearing this, Su Zhe frowned, and said quite dissatisfied: "Your tax department is responsible for the tax inspection. Whether to pursue their charges is a matter for our procuratorate, and the tax envoy should not be involved.
" Chen Ming nodded and said: "Prosecutor Su is right, the duty of our tax department is to investigate tax evasion, but if they plead guilty, it can save a lot of manpower and material resources of our tax department, we have to consider these issues.
" Su Zhe frowned and said, "So the tax envoy Chen intends to cover them up? "Chen Mingdao: "If I want to protect them, then why should I come to talk to Chief Prosecutor Su? I just hope that Chief Prosecutor Su can understand the difficulty of our taxation department. The year has started again, and our people need to pay attention to everyone's income every day, and we don't have much energy to spend on it.
" Su Zhe frowned and said: "But they are indeed suspected of breaking the law, and our procuratorate can't turn a blind eye or ignore it. If this is the case, it is our dereliction of duty. Please forgive us. .
" Wei Yingfang is like an ant on a hot pot, fidgeting, and they all know Su Che's character, he is a hard bone.
Yuan Jiang and Cai Yanqing saw it in their eyes and secretly smiled in their hearts. If they knew today, why bother.
Now they still have to rely on the tax department to help them overcome this hurdle.
What an irony! You must know that at this moment, they still hate the tax department! Chen Mingdao: "According to our investigation, apart from them, there are thousands of rural households in the whole Hezhong Prefecture who are secretly brewing wine. Therefore, I think there are many problems in the system of wine tax. If we want to strictly investigate this aspect If not, this will cause a lot of problems, and our tax department will also be forced to get involved, which will make us have no time to take care of this year's taxes.
" As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yingfang and the others couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately began to talk in a hurry. The reason is what Li Min and Lu Bangxing said just now. Of course, they will not attribute the responsibility to Instead, they blame the current system.
This system of distributing wine is indeed a bit too ruthless, and the common people have no choice but to secretly brew some to satisfy their appetite.
If you want to investigate, the attack surface may become very wide, and it may not be able to end at that time! Those people can't stand such a punishment.
Cai Yanqing followed suit and said, "Although this wine is not salt, many people are already used to drinking it. If there is no wine to drink, it will indeed have a very serious impact on the stability of the place.
There are indeed some problems with the current liquor system, which makes it difficult to sell legal liquor in many places, just like the sale of illegal salt. One eye, as long as it's not too much.
" Yuan Jiang also stroked his beard and said: "Nowadays, the tax department calculates taxes according to income, and rural households make wine privately and sell it, but pay taxes on this part of the income. Sure.
" Su Zhe actually agrees with Cai Yanqing's words very much in his heart, and he can't do it if he is asked to sue the people who secretly brew bootleg wine. Although his expression is slightly moved, he said: "But the rules are With such a decision, our procuratorate can understand the difficulties of the tax department and let them go for a while. What will we do next? In the future, everyone will be exonerated on this ground, which will seriously harm the national interest, and our procuratorate must not allow this situation.
" As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent, and they secretly looked at Yuan Jiang.
This involves system reform, and they have no right to make decisions. Only the transshipment envoys from the capital have the power to do so.
Yuan Jiang glanced at her indisputably, and sighed, "Okay! I promise you, this year we will improve the system in these areas to avoid this situation from happening again, and to make the public security and law enforcement more smoothly. Enforcement.
" Su Zhe frowned slightly, as if weighing something.
Wei Yingfang and the others hurriedly followed, offering various guarantees.
Su Zhe took a look at him, and seeing that the heat was almost ready, he sighed, "Okay! I can temporarily promise you that if the government can improve the system in this area as soon as possible, our procuratorate can not pursue it this time. But if the government does not solve this problem, our procuratorate will restart the investigation of this matter.
" Yuan Jiang nodded and said, "It's a deal.
" As soon as these words came out, Wei Yingfang and the others breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The black hat on the head can be regarded as saved.
Su Zhe said again: "If there is nothing else, we want to take a rest.
" The implication is that the matter is over, you don't stay here.
"Sorry to bother you for a long time, let's take our leave first.
" All the officials got up immediately.
Out of the restaurant, Yuan Jiang glanced at them angrily, "We greeted you in advance, don't take chances, but you ignored my words, and the face of my transshipment department was all over the place." You have lost everything, if there is another time, you will fend for yourself.
" After finishing speaking, he waved his sleeves and left.
Wei Yingfang and the others blushed like a monkey's buttocks, and their hearts were full of guilt.
In fact, both Yuan Jiang and Cai Yanqing have reminded them, and now Yuan Jiang is forced to come forward to help them carry everything.
It is not an easy task to improve the system in this area! Cai Yanqing saw it and smiled secretly, you people only know how to be smart, how can you be the opponent of these two foxes, you have to feel ashamed to be played in the palm of your hand.
Hehe.
He immediately chased after him, and said to Yuan Jiang in a low voice: "Scholar Yuan, what a trick! I am very impressed.
" Yuan Jiang glanced at him, "Where did Zhifu Cai say this? Cai Yanqing was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Why?" Isn't this what you discussed with President Zhang? "Yuan Jiang shook her head, "That brat didn't tell me about it before, just like you, I just found out about it.
" Cai Yanqing couldn't help being surprised, Yuan Jiang didn't need to lie to him on this issue, and couldn't help asking: "Then this is it? "Yuan Jiang said hehe: "There are indeed many problems in this regard, aren't there?" Cai Yanqing nodded slightly, and then asked: "Then how do you plan to improve this system?" "Yuan Jiang said: "I don't have a clue yet, but I believe that kid Zhang San must have already thought about it, and we can ask about it then.
" After the golden hour of noon, all parties finally reached a consensus.
Li Min signed a plea agreement with him after getting a guarantee from the tax department, which also included the legal termination of the employment relationship between the defendant and the witness.
Then Qiu Zhengwen took this plea agreement and went to the imperial court. Naturally, Zhang Fei didn't say much, and immediately asked someone to issue a notice. Since all the defendants pleaded guilty and accepted punishment, the following trial was cancelled.
"This is really cheap for them.
" Xu Zhiqian complained while packing up the almost useless evidence.
She still prefers the kind of black and white court trial, rather than this kind of black box operation, private reconciliation, although the goal has been achieved, but she always feels that it is not so fair.
Zhang Fei explained: "There is no way, we have to accept all this.
" Xu Zhiqian glanced at her beautifully, "Why? Zhang Fei said: "First of all, if the fish dies and the net breaks, we will also lose a lot."
Secondly, if the procuratorate intervenes, these crimes are not light according to the law. Once we give them all a heavy sentence, I believe that the wealthy people in Jingzhao Prefecture would rather accept the rebellion and riots of the local people than let the public prosecutor pass the law.
"Frozen three feet, not a day's cold, it is almost impossible to turn things around with this lawsuit, Zhang Fei's bottom line is very simple, it is within the scope of the rules, which is why he said in advance It is announced that the first offender will be exempted from punishment.
If there is no such regulation, it is bound to be dead.
Xu Zhiqian said: "They may not be willing now.
" Zhang Fei said: "As long as they pay taxes legally, their annual income is still very considerable, so they will not risk their lives to fight us. It is to check and balance the existence of the tax department, and they will also weigh it.
" Zhang Fei can't want to occupy the mountain and become king in Hezhong Mansion, but to expand to the outside world. This is also the most important job of their public security law this year, so they can't do things too extreme. If they are dead anyway, then It will greatly hinder the promotion of public security law.
However, the public security law's concession is different from the government's previous ones. The public security law's concession is under the rules.
It was the prosecution and the defense who first reached an agreement before the imperial court canceled the trial. It was not that either party between the prosecution and the defense reached an agreement with the imperial court, and the imperial court then used its authority to cancel the trial.
This is still fundamentally different.
This flexibility is very important.
However, the trial in the morning alone has already had a great impact on the relevant dignitaries and landlords of the Hezhong Mansion. Where have they seen these methods before? This is definitely above their government.
Moreover, they are very clear that there must be more than the one hundred and thirty-two tax evaders in the entire Hezhong Prefecture.
So they're thinking, is this over? Doomed to sleepless tonight!
