"Qin Maocai, what are you doing with a knife? What do you want to do?"
"You are so brave, didn't we just play with you as a concubine?"
"Hey, you still dare to glare at me! You bastard, grandson of a turtle, your father is a grandson of a turtle, and you are a little bastard, haha..."
"puff!"
"Second brother! You killed someone! Qin Maocai, if you dare to kill my second brother, your Tongzhou Palace is finished!"
"No... don't kill me, I will kneel down for you!"
"Pfft~"
Outside the gate of the palace, a direct descendant of the Yuan family crawled out with his face covered in blood and his stomach in his arms.
"He killed someone, come here!"
Qin Maocai pulled his hair from behind and cut his throat with a knife!
Quiet, at this moment, the entire Tongzhou Palace was completely silent, except for the cry of a child.
Qin Maocai walked up to Qin Yun step by step, knelt on one knee, held up the blood-stained sword with both hands, and looked firmly in his eyes.
Qin Yun took it with a smile: "This is the good man of my Qin family!"
"The Qin family has been comfortable for too long!"
"My brother Maocai, are you willing to follow me to rebuild the glory of Taizu?"
"My lord, I am willing!"
They are both princes of the clan, but at this moment Qin Maocai corrected his attitude and regarded himself as a minister.
Qin Yun was very satisfied and waved his hand.
"Come here, take the bodies of these Yuan family members who broke into the palace and insulted women, put them up on a flagpole, and parade them through the streets!"
"promise!"
Yang Yong took a step forward, and Tie Shuan, Tie Futu and others followed and tied the flagpole!
Jiang Yingying's face was expressionless, but Liu Guanguan's eyes were focused on Qin Yun. Only Shen Yue frowned slightly, but she soon felt relieved that she was not her master.
After the previous experience, Shen Yue knew that the struggle was life and death.
She naturally stood on Qin Yun's side.
Soon, the entire people of Tongzhou City saw the soldiers of King Liang leading the direct descendants of the Yuan family to parade through the streets.
Liu Yu, the pastor of Tongzhou, rushed to see him.
"Your Highness Prince Liang, I am really busy with official business, so I am unable to come to see you off. Please forgive me!"
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I still have some things to do, so I won't leave for now!"
Liu Yu thumped: "Your Highness, what crime did these people commit?"
Qin Yun hummed softly and said: "Master Liu, I didn't come to ask you, but you asked me instead? Come here, tell Master Liu what crime these people have committed."
Yang Yong raised his head and said coldly: "These three people, who collided with Wang Jia and raped women in front of His Royal Highness, Prince Liang, should be punished according to law!"
Liu Yu took a deep breath: "May I ask, who did you rape?"
Qin Yun glanced at Tiefutu on the side, and the latter detoured to Liu Yu's side. Several government officials on duty instantly felt that more than half of the sunlight was missing, and they felt full of oppression.
"Master Liu, are you interrogating me? You, a mere third-grade state shepherd, dare to speak to me in such a tone. What, are you trying to rebel?"
Qin Yun's eyes were cold and murderous intent burst out.
This was the first time for Qin Yun's subordinates to see their prince show such power. After all, he is usually pleasant-looking and rarely even calls himself "my king".
Liu Yu felt his legs trembling as Qin Yun stared at him. Of course, this was also due to the pressure from Tiefu Tu's big body.
"I... I don't dare. I am just exercising my responsibilities as a parent official in Tongzhou! Since these three people have violated the laws of Daxia, they deserve what they deserve."
"But the law has its own procedures. His Highness kills people wantonly without interrogation, which may lead to criticism. The reason why I inquired clearly is for the sake of His Highness's reputation!"
Liu Yu is indeed a veteran with traces of officialdom, and he is said to be impeccable. In fact, he didn't want to come at all, but he had collected so much money from the Yuan family over the years.
Some things had to be done. He was betting that Qin Yun was a prince who cherished feathers.
But Liu Yu lost the bet. Qin Yun is a typical pragmatist. He loves fame, but he believes that fame is not gained by cherishing it, but by killing it!
Qin Yun pretended: "Oh, so you are doing it for my own good!"
"Exactly!" Liu Yu cupped his hands.
Qin Yun smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Master Liu, in fact, I also like to try cases. Let's go to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion and move out all the files in recent years. I would like to see what Master Liu has to do. There was no unjust, false or wrongful conviction!”
Liu Yu's heart sank. What on earth did Qin Yun want to do?
Is it possible to target him? This makes no sense!
At this time, a man who looked like a master hurriedly ran over and whispered a few words in Liu Yu's ear. Liu Yu looked horrified and hurriedly raised his hand to Qin Yun.
"Your Highness, my master Zhang Fu will fully cooperate with me in the trial of the case. I still have something to do, please take my leave!"
The reason why Liu Yu left in such a hurry was because he had just received a new tax system promulgated by the court, and Tongzhou was the pilot.
At this moment, he understood why Qin Yun deliberately made things difficult for him.
The Yuan family incident is probably just an introduction.
Qin Yun did not force Liu Yu to stay, but said to Yang Yong who was standing aside: "Yang Yong, take people to visit the various prefectures and counties in Tongzhou to collect land-related cases."
"promise!"
"Qin Maocai!"
"I'm here!"
"You write a memorial asking His Majesty to approve your succession to the throne, and then invite celebrities from Tongzhou to gather at the Tongzhou Palace in three days to hold a succession ceremony for you."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Jiang Yingying smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what are we going to do? We can't just follow you and eat free rice every day!"
Qin Yun scratched Jiang Yingying's nose: "Who said you are freeloaders? You are all refueling stations for my good mood."
Liu Guanguan and Shen Yue's pretty faces turned red.
Jiang Yingying said seriously: "Your Majesty, we are not flower vases. Sister Guan Guan can settle accounts, I can do martial arts, and Sister Shen Yue can write official documents!"
Qin Yun looked at Sanmei next to him and smiled and said, "That's right, let's do this. You and the others will take a look at the tax books of Tongzhou Prefecture over the years."
"Tieshuan, you are responsible for security work!"
"Security?" Tie Shuan paused.
Qin Yun realized that he had said something wrong: "What I mean is that you are responsible for the safety of the ladies! No strangers are allowed within ten steps, and all food and water sources must be strictly controlled!"
"yes!"
"Zuo Sisi!"
"The humble position is here."
"You summon everyone in the Blood Clothes Building and issue a mission to collect evidence about the Yuan family's tax evasion and underpayment over the years. By the way, greet the local snakes in Tongzhou and tell them that I am not here to change anything, but to return Tongzhou to its original state. .”
"I accept my order from my humble position!"
"Wang Muzhi!"
"I'm here."
"You are responsible for visiting the famous celebrities and country squire cousins in Tongzhou to win their support."
Wang Muzhi nodded: "Your Majesty, we have touched the interests of these people this time. It may be difficult to get their support!"
Qin Yun smiled and said: "That's wrong, who in Tongzhou most hopes that the Yuan family will fall? It's them. If a whale falls, everything will survive! As long as they promise corresponding benefits, these people will not give in, but will stand on our side. !”
"I have decided to propose a policy of tiered taxation and proactive backpayment of taxes!"
Wang Mu paused: "What is active repayment?"
Qin Yun: "What is the purpose this time?"
Wang Muzhi: "Collect taxes, reform the tax system, and collect taxes from big landowners."
Qin Yun shook his head: "If we directly tell them to raise taxes, these people may cause trouble. But what if we come to check the taxes?"
"Do you mean to scare me?" Wang Muzhi asked.
Qin Yun smiled: "You have to use some means!"
