Three thousand guan per household, tax-free for one year!
God knows that when Wang Feng heard the second item, his scalp was numb.
An imperial businessman told the people that they would exempt you from taxes for a year. If this is not bragging, then it is what will happen later. He will make a fortune! ! !
Is it nonsense that something like this happened in the capital? Nonsense!
But when I think about the fact that the Dafu Dynasty came from the Northern Song Dynasty, or was a distorted society with the Immortal Sect weighing on its head, I feel, well, it doesn’t seem so unacceptable?
Prosperity is really prosperous, money is really rich, prices are skyrocketing, and taxes are really heavy. What difference does it make even under the rule of Jing County?
The ones who suffer the most will always be those people!
The case is very simple, so simple that there is no need to solve the case, but what is really complicated is beyond the level of Kaifeng County that can wade through such muddy waters.
"Hey, sir, can you have some saliva?" At this time, the fat man Li Huai, who was sitting in the cell, suddenly raised his head, looked at Wang Senlin and said with a smile.
Wang Senlin's face looked a little ugly at the moment.
Hao Meng and Jin Ling on the side also had disgusting expressions on their faces.
The several policemen and jailers on the side were all eager to give this beast to his widow at this moment.
But reason made them choose to remain silent, because Li Huai was an imperial merchant, and not just an ordinary imperial merchant, because his surname was Li!
"Master, what will happen to those villagers in the end?" At this time, Wang Feng looked at his master Wang Senlin and asked.
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Wang Senlin.
"I don't know." Wang Senlin shook his head and said, "One hundred and twenty households. If we count a household of five people, the whole village would have six hundred people!"
"In a large village of 600 people, everyone is guilty. According to the law, the murderer and the accomplice are equally guilty as the murderer..." As he spoke, Wang Senlin paused slightly and said: "Strictly speaking, all of these villagers are guilty. He’s an accomplice!”
After listening to Wang Senlin's words, everyone fell silent.
Kill these 600 people at once? is it possible? impossible!
The punishments in ancient times were severe, but there is also a common saying that the law does not punish the public.
"My lord, my lord, if you have finished speaking, can you give me a sip of water?" At this time, the fat-minded imperial merchant Li Huai in the cell continued to laugh.
It was as if what everyone just said had nothing to do with him.
From being brought in for investigation, to conclusive evidence, and finally to a confession.
This person has always behaved openly and calmly. He seems to have no idea how involved or important this matter is, and how many sins he will commit in the future will be unforgivable. He didn't have anything to rely on, so he yelled and yelled at everyone.
Everything is normal, but it is precisely because of this normality that everyone feels that this is the greatest contempt.
"I am now certain that this is not a plot arranged by the 'Humming Beast' for me, and what is happening now will not appear in the novel, but at the same time it is a story background arranged by the 'Humming Beast'!"
Wang Feng unconsciously thought of the introduction to this book again.
“The imperial power is like an envoy, and the common people are like ants.
In this world, immortal gates, caves, holy lands, great religions, and forbidden lands of ancient tribes are all high up, overlooking the world of mortals. Chu Ci came to the mysterious and broken world, traveled against the mortal world, and watched the rise and fall of dynasties, the changes of spring and autumn..."
"I, Wang Feng, am also a person in this rolling world of mortals."
"But the difference is that when 'she' walked through the mortal world, I jumped out of the water and accompanied her through a different period of time."
"In the end, I will return to the world of mortals!"
"Today's case is just a grain of sand in this rolling world. There is something deeper hidden behind the case, which I need to experience myself!"
"As for the heroine, she only needs to participate a little bit in the middle, and it's enough to get the 'Tao Palace' without anyone noticing!"
"This case, no matter how it happened, will not be presented to readers, and it will not even be mentioned by the author afterwards."
"When the day comes when I, an important supporting character, am burdened by the mortal world and cannot help myself, that will be the time when I "go offline". At that time... the author may mention today's events in an understatement."
Thinking of this, Wang Feng took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"As a handyman, a police officer, and the next trip to the Imperial College, I, a little handyman who originally only worked for a living, will eventually realize the sufferings of the people's livelihood, and finally embark on the road of becoming an official and benefiting the people of the country..."
"In the end, Chu Ci, who only cultivates the great road and enjoys a free world, gradually drifts away!"
Tsk! Hey Beast, Hey Beast, it turns out that I underestimated you, a sinister woman, so this is the foreshadowing you arranged for me to get offline!
If this is the arrangement, then I, as an important supporting role, will definitely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
A peerless talent who works all over the temple.
A heroine who journeys against the world and only pursues the great path!
They each have their own persistence and ideals, but in the end they are destined to have nothing to do with each other, and they forget each other in the long river of time.
Perhaps, when she looks back after her sermon, she will think of the man she fell in love with for the first time?
Wouldn’t it be interesting to talk about such a relationship full of regrets?
"Bah!" Wang Feng spat inwardly, "It is indeed a vulgar female pornographic pornography routine. It is disgusting, obscene, and shameless!"
After slandering a certain shady female author "Hum Chi Beast", Wang Feng suppressed these thoughts for the time being. The foreshadowing was long-term and had been completed. Besides, for him now, there was no need to rush to unravel the foreshadowing. Let's let it go first. Let’s talk about bullets flying.
This case is still going on!
Your own life still has to go on.
"Okay, now let's get back to the case itself." After returning to his identity, Wang Feng began to think seriously about the case.
Li Huai, Huangshang!
The reason why Huang Shang's identity is not simple is that his surname is Li.
Wang Feng didn't know what these meant, he just heard them from a few police officers on the road.
"But what's wrong with the surname Li? Is the surname Li awesome? The Dafu royal family's surname is Zhao!" Wang Feng secretly complained in his heart.
There was no other way. There were really limited useful things in the memory left by his predecessor. Well, all he could think about was how to catch Hao Meng.
"Let's go out and talk!" At this time, Wang Senlin, who really couldn't stand Li Huai's face, was afraid that he could not help but kill this beast, so he had to wave his hand and lead everyone out of the cell and outside.
"Master, what is the background of this Li Huai?" After coming outside, Wang Feng took a deep breath of the slightly cold air and looked at his master, Wang Senlin.
"The queen's surname is Li." At this time, Hao Meng said calmly.
"Wha, what?" Wang Feng turned his head and looked at Hao Meng. This was the first time he talked to Hao Meng since that day.
The queen's surname was Li, so Wang Feng naturally knew that Hao Meng was not just talking. She meant that Li Huai was related to the queen.
"Uncle Guo?" Wang Feng asked.
Hao Meng nodded when he heard this, which was regarded as admission.
Seeing this, Wang Feng suddenly understood. No wonder these villagers believed an imperial merchant who dared to promise tax exemption for one year.
Someone must have given them a hint of Li Huai's identity.
It might not be difficult for an uncle of a country and an imperial businessman to say that he would exempt a certain place from taxes for a year. Besides, it would inevitably take more than just one sentence to avoid it afterwards. A group of unscrupulous scoundrels, even if they give you money, they still want to collect debts?
Don't forget, the great law, the murderer must pay for his life, and the accomplices must be punished with the same crime!
Even if Li Huai doesn't recognize the one-year tax exemption afterwards, what can they do? If we really want to expose the matter, Uncle Guo may not die, but they will definitely be finished.
"The Li family is quite powerful in the court." At this time, Hao Meng said calmly again.
In fact, any government official who likes to inquire about these things and has some channels can know some of these things.
After all, Kaifeng County manages half of Bianjing City, and there will always be a leader who warns them in private to avoid offending powerful people.
Wang Feng looked at his master, Wang Senlin, and finally understood why his master said on the first day that he would take him with him.
He also talked about so many tips on identifying people.
Even today when he was taking action, he even asked him to follow him and act based on his looks.
It turns out that the master already knew who the imperial merchant Li Huai was.
"The whole thing was arranged and planned by the county magistrate. He pretended to be a land lord and asked a middle-aged woman to kidnap Li Huai's daughter, thus leading to this case. Perhaps the county magistrate's purpose is not just the Taoist palace!" Wang Feng thought secretly in his heart: "I'm afraid there is deeper water behind this, such as a dispute in the court."
"Well, okay, let's not talk about deeper things like the court dispute for now. For now, it has nothing to do with me. Let's get back to the case itself!"
"If the 'Dao Palace' is in the hands of the queen, then everything makes sense. Bianjing must be in charge of a powerful person like Xianmen Dongtian."
"In the palace, even if Di Jiang is a big demon, he doesn't dare to mess around."
"People from the Immortal Sect may not care about the secular world, but if it concerns an existence like Di Jiang that does not belong to the secular world, then they will not sit idly by and ignore it."
"Okay, the case is officially closed!"
"Next, it depends on how the role of the county magistrate can be operated so that I, an important supporting role, can get the 'Tao Palace', and then let the heroine intervene naturally, and finally take away the benefits without anyone noticing..."
"Well, now all we have to do is wait!"
"This involves new developments. Well, if the 'Tao Palace' is really in the hands of the queen in the palace, at least for now I don't know in what capacity."
"..."
