"Killing crazy?"
Zhang Fei covered his heart and said, "How many tens of thousands of people were killed?"
".?"
If Li Bao wasn't afraid of being accused, he really wanted to take action. He said with a smile: "Sanlang is joking. There are not tens of thousands of people, so it can't be killed. But there is still something to be gained from hundreds of people."
Zhang Fei said calmly.
Li Bao looked slightly embarrassed and said, "Sanlang, hundreds of lives were found during the tax inspection. This is no small matter."
Zhang Fei shook his head and said: "No matter whether it is a small matter or a big matter, I always say the same thing. As long as you kill people in accordance with the law, then it is fine. If you kill indiscriminately, you will be responsible for it."
Li Bao said hurriedly: "In accordance with the law, it must be in accordance with the law, and this law is not small."
Zhang Fei frowned and asked, "What method?"
Li Bao said: "How to plot rebellion?"
Zhang Fei couldn't help frowning and said: "Are you playing so big?"
Li Bao sighed: "There is no way. Sanlang doesn't know how arrogant the gentry in Qizhou are. The money they spend on dealing with the tax department is much more than the taxes they have to pay! Just tell us , it is impossible to collect taxes in Qizhou."
Zhang Fei asked: "What exactly happened?"
Li Bao said: "Didn't I tell you last time that our tax department encountered an ambush in Qizhou and suffered heavy losses, including dozens of lives."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I also said that they must pay with blood."
Li Bao nodded and said: "The culprit's name is Wu Tian, nicknamed Huahua Taisui. He is a very famous bandit in Qizhou. He has connections with many local gentry and even knows many people in the government. We originally wanted to take him." He came to kill chickens to scare monkeys, but he was betrayed by spies.
Later, Feng Laoqi devised a plan, which was to first look down on the enemy and focus the tax inspection attention on those wealthy gentry. In this way, those wealthy gentry would definitely support Wu Tian in dealing with our tax department. Our tax department can secretly collect this evidence, and at the same time spend a lot of money to bribe Wu Tian's second boss, Xiao Yanluo Luo Erchun.
After everything was arranged, we arrested this old sweetheart, Wu Tian, who was very lustful and profitable.
The key is that her old sweetheart is the biggest madam in Qizhou. Not only is she deeply loved by Wu Tian, but she also helps Wu Tian earn a lot of money.
Once she was caught, Wu Tian would definitely be anxious, so we used Luo Erchun to lure Wu Tian to rescue her, and the location was a secret military camp in the Imperial City Division.
Sure enough, Wu Tian and more than 300 people came to rescue them, but we killed them all. This was no longer an ordinary robbery, but a crime of rebellion.
Then everyone related to it will be implicated, including many wealthy gentry in Qizhou. Our tax department can use this as an excuse to teach those wealthy gentry a lesson. "
Zhang Fei was surprised: "Is Lao Qi so cruel? I never saw it before."
Li Bao said: "Actually, Lao Qi is usually relatively gentle, but this time it may be because he recruited the spy. Although we all know that it has nothing to do with him, maybe he doesn't think so and wants to prove his innocence. , that’s why we set up such a plan.”
"I see."
Zhang Fei nodded and asked, "Did we lose much in this battle?"
Li Bao said: "Don't worry, Sanlang, those people are all rabble, vulnerable."
The armed forces of the Taxation Department are all the best of the best, because their bonuses are so high that it would be unreasonable for them to work hard, and there is also a reward for catching Wu Tian and other murderers.
That battle was truly crushing!
It is true that many people were killed because everyone wanted to fight for their heads.
Li Bao added: "But this case is very big, and the Qizhou Public Procuratorate may not be able to handle it. Moreover, the Public Procuratorate is also threatened by local bandits. It is said that Chief Prosecutor Su was beaten."
Zhang Fei was surprised: "Really or not?"
Li Bao nodded, "It's just a superficial injury."
"Thankfully I didn't go!"
Zhang Fei quickly patted his chest to calm down his shock.
"Um?"
"Ahem. My brother Zizhan is really ill-fated!"
After Zhang Fei sighed with emotion, he said to Li Bao: "I still say the same thing, as long as there is enough evidence, it doesn't matter."
Qizhou.
But around a large farm, hundreds of royal police officers arrived, and the area was completely impenetrable. The police station's seals were posted everywhere, and they wanted to seal the entire farm.
This was actually extremely rare in ancient times. In the past, only a dozen or so government officials came to the door. Unlike today, when hundreds of royal police are dispatched at every turn, it is really not for the sake of ostentation, but for fear of being attacked.
It also shows the current situation of this place. The Royal Police is really not that easy to serve.
This also attracted many people from the surrounding area to come and watch.
"What are you looking at? Go about your business. Stand far away, do you hear me?"
But I saw the Royal Police directly displaying their weapons to intimidate the people who wanted to come forward and take a look.
"What? Isn't it illegal to take a look?"
a rogue said provocatively.
The Royal Police did not pay attention to him, but held weapons and observed the surroundings very carefully.
A biting dog doesn't bark!
After seeing the rogue, he didn't dare to step forward.
Inside the farm, there were bursts of cries, and it was these cries that attracted the surrounding people.
"It's unjust! We're unjust! Where do we have the courage to rebel?"
"Hey, everyone, come and see, the Royal Police has killed someone! They have killed someone!"
"You people are really ignorant. When my uncle goes to complain to the emperor, none of you will be able to escape. Not one of you will be able to escape."
I saw more than 20 people tied up, kneeling in the courtyard, crying and shouting. Royal police and tax police standing around were all talking to each other and talking about something, without paying any attention to them.
I saw two middle-aged men standing in the courtyard talking quietly.
"How about it?"
"We have obtained the evidence, they are dead this time."
"That's good. If you can't get the evidence, then our police station will also be implicated by your tax police."
"Don't worry! If I'm not sure, I won't dare to let you come over."
"You bastards! You bird policemen are really short-sighted, and I dare to stop you."
Suddenly I heard a scolding coming from the door.
A big fat man kneeling on the ground suddenly beamed with joy when he heard the voice, "Uncle, save me! Uncle, save me!"
Immediately, a policeman came over and came to the two middle-aged men, "Chief Liu, there is an old man outside who said he is Luo Hai's uncle."
Before Chief Liu spoke, the man beside him said, "But what about Xu Zhizhong?"
"Yes."
"Let him come in. It just so happens that our tax department also plans to go find him."
"yes."
After a while, a white-haired old man was seen entering the courtyard. Seeing the scene in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be frightened, "What are you doing?"
When the fat man named Luo Hai saw the old man, he wanted to get up. Two royal policemen immediately stepped forward and pushed him directly to the ground to eat dirt. "Ahem! Uncle, save me, uncle...!"
Xu Zhizhong said: "You bird police are so bold. How dare you do anything to the people of my old Xu family? When my great-grandfather and Taizu conquered the world, you were not born yet. Just wait, I'm here." I must go to His Majesty to report you."
At this time, the middle-aged man wearing a uniform different from that of the police walked directly in front of Xu Zhizhong.
"What do you want to do?"
Xu Zhizhong glared at this person angrily.
The middle-aged man said: "I am Li Xin, the chief of the taxation department, and you are Xu Zhizhong."
Xu Zhizhong said angrily: "You, a little tax policeman, dare to call me by my real name."
Li Xin directly took out a tax bill and said, "You are suspected of tax evasion. Wait at home. Our tax police will come to find you then."
"you."
Xu Zhizhong felt unbelievable, as if he was saying, I am blamed for your tax inspection.
At this time, Officer Liu came forward and said, "Mr. Xu, since you are here, please cooperate with our Royal Police to record a statement."
"Why do you have that?" Xu Zhizhong said in shock and anger.
Is the Zhao family’s world gone?
Officer Liu pointed at Luo Hai who was pressed to the ground and said, "Luo Hai is your nephew?"
"Yes."
"Very good! He is now suspected of rebellion, tax evasion, murder, and a series of other crimes."
"Conspiracy?"
Xu Zhizhong opened his mouth and looked at Officer Liu blankly.
Tax Division.
"Are you here to collect taxes, or are you here to confiscate homes and exterminate families?"
"Prosecutor Su, it was the other party who made the first move, and we were forced to kill him. We have evidence for this."
"Don't bring me the evidence now."
Su Shi, with a panda eye on his head, roared: "You tax officials will never think that I, Su Shi, am ignorant and ignorant. All this is your conspiracy. You used the grass bandit Wu Tian to cause chaos and convicted all Qizhou gentry for treason. The intention is to force them to pay taxes, but this is not the fairness and justice that the public prosecutor and the law pursue. You are a government agency, how can you use such despicable means? What is the difference between this and them finding someone to attack the prosecutor general? If you are caught Stay here, your tax department may be destroyed."
Qizhou Tax Commissioner Cao Junchen said aggrievedly: "We only arrest people when we have concrete evidence."
Su Shi, who has always been sarcastic, met his opponent this time and was about to cry, "Can't you just say goodbye?"
Cao Junchen lowered his head and said: "But what was explained above is that when dealing with the public prosecutor and the law, only the evidence is emphasized, and the rest goes without saying."
".?"
"you?"
Su Shi waved his sleeves and said, "I'm too lazy to argue with you."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
But Su Shi did not return to the procuratorate, but went directly to the imperial court.
"Evidence! Evidence! I don't know if evidence is important, but if they keep fighting like this, sooner or later they will use all possible means. What's the use of the public prosecutors and law?"
Seeing Wang Anguo, Su Shi complained.
He believes that the public prosecutor and the law hope that everyone will fight within the rules and mainly use wisdom. But when you are used to holding weapons, the public prosecutor and the law will appear weak.
Wang Anguo asked Su Shi: "Didn't your procuratorate find any clues?"
The Taxation Department is also subject to the supervision of the public prosecutor and the law, as long as they can find relevant evidence.
Su Shi waved his hand and said: "No need to check, I, Su Shi, can see what they are doing at a glance."
Wang Anguo said: "But if you can't find it, it will be difficult for us to do anything."
"If it can be found, do I have to complain here? Now even the murderer who attacked me has not been found." Su Shi said depressedly: "There is evidence for success and there is evidence for failure. If there is no evidence, we can only stare blankly. "
Their Procuratorate has only been here for a short time, and the Taxation Department has secretly developed in Qizhou as early as three years ago. This strength is not symmetrical.
Wang Anguo sighed, "This case is very involved, and involves some descendants of the founding heroes. They have sent people to the capital to complain. We in Qizhou are unable to try the case, so why not transfer it to the capital for trial."
Su Shi glanced at Wang Anguo helplessly, stamped his feet fiercely, raised his head and said sadly: "What evil have I, Su Shi, done! We are both prosecutors, Ziyou is rising rapidly in the northwest, but I, Su Shi, have encountered all ups and downs. Nothing went smoothly.”
Qingzhou.
"President Qian."
Fan Chunren hurriedly entered the house, "Have you heard anything about the Qizhou rebellion case?"
Qian Yi nodded and said, "I just learned that I had already ordered someone to ask the tax envoy to come over."
Fan Chunren said: "Based on the information we know so far, this is most likely a trap set by the Department of Taxation."
Qian Yi said with a worried face: "The tax department's methods are becoming more and more vicious. I'm afraid that if this continues, it will make the entire Jingdong East Road restless!"
While the two were chatting, someone below announced that the Taxation Department Wu Daliang was here.
Qian Yi quickly ordered someone to invite him in.
Seeing Wu Daliang, Fan Chunren asked: "Wu Tax Envoy, have you heard about what happened in Qizhou?"
Wu Daliang said: "I heard a little bit about it."
Qian Yi asked: "Did you just hear a little bit about it?"
Wu Daliang nodded.
Fan Chunren said: "Tax envoy, Judge Qian and I are well aware of the difficulty of collecting taxes. It is inevitable that you will use some violent means legally. However, the Qizhou case is not just about violent means. It also involves To the extent of framing people and scheming, this is not the right way. If this continues, it will bring disrepute to the tax department, and it will be even more difficult to go to other places."
Wu Daliang said: "I don't quite understand what Prosecutor Fan means? First of all, it is the imperial court that makes the final judgment on whether a crime has been committed, not our tax department. If the public prosecutor believes that there is frame-up, , you should investigate instead of asking me.
Secondly, the tax department never cares about their reputation, because the tax department has only one mission, which is to collect taxes legally. As long as the taxes are paid, they can scold them whatever they want.
Finally, our tax department was invited to clean up the mess. If the officials could raise the taxes, the officials would not send our tax department here. "
After saying this, Fan Chunren was speechless.
You say that I framed the crime, but the power of judgment is not in our hands. If you think there is a conspiracy, just don’t judge the case.
As for the promotion of the Taxation Department?
hehe!
It is because of the incompetence of the government that we have the Taxation Department. We are the ones wiping the butt!
Qian Yi said: "We are also thinking about your tax department."
"Thank you!"
".!"
This attitude really made it impossible to continue the conversation. After Wu Daliang left, Qian Yi said to Fan Chunren: "This case involves rebellion. I'm afraid we won't be able to try it. We have to leave it to the court for trial."
Fan Chunren nodded. The local public prosecutor's office would definitely not be able to judge such a major case. The emperor must personally witness it. Even if they judged it, they would definitely have to hand it over to the capital for review.
Fan Chunren added: "We will also discuss with the police station and ask them to be more careful, so that this kind of thing doesn't happen in Qingzhou."
At present, the capital city is not aware of this matter. Everyone is still discussing the Liuyun Temple adultery case, and the final results of the case are being announced one after another.
First, Liu Qin was acquitted, even though she was dead. As for Miaokong, because Liu Qing refused to complain, his adultery charge was also cancelled. However, he committed the crime of testifying to adultery, and his sentence was reduced from three years to six months in prison, but he was still not allowed to break the cane.
The charge of testifying to a romantic relationship is based on the seriousness of the case. After all, this case is not a big case. Six months is already the maximum punishment, and etiquette and law issues are also taken into consideration.
If he were not a monk, he would probably just play a few boards.
Secondly, the imperial court issued a detailed explanation of the trial of this case, which actually told the people that the Xiangfu County imperial court did not make a wrong verdict and Qi Hui will continue to serve as the president of Xiangfu County.
In fact, there are some doubts among the people because some people are provoking it, but the public security organs, prosecutors and law have given Qi Hui their support.
But Qi Hui still wanted to become an official. He did not do it for grudges, but because he felt shameless to sit in the imperial court of Xiangfu County. He had a very good relationship with Sima Guang, and he had no stain in his life, especially during the investigation. On the case.
In the end, Zhao Xu personally came forward to persuade him. If you sit in the imperial court of Xiangfu County for another half a year, the court will transfer you and you will be the president of the court somewhere else. If you are transferred now, it will affect the system of public security, procuratorate, and law.
Coupled with the persuasion of Sima Guang and others, Qi Hui agreed to stay in Xiangfu County.
The Beijing Procuratorate is naturally the biggest beneficiary.
Prior to this, the Procuratorate had been unknown. People were more afraid of the police station, the Imperial Court and the Taxation Department. The Procuratorate's presence was very weak.
But now no one dares to underestimate the procuratorate. If it is such a trivial matter, the procuratorate has to correct it for you. Can the procuratorate let you go for other matters?
Recording Lane.
Two years ago, the largest tavern in Lushi Alley was officially renamed Erbi Tavern, which was specially used to entertain Erbi. Because of Zhang Fei's arrival, Erbi's income greatly increased and it became the main consumer of Lushi Alley.
At this time, there was a sigh in Erbi Tavern.
"Now that Zhang San has gone to the procuratorate, our life in Erbi will be difficult!"
"Who says it's not the case? We are no match for Zhang San. From now on, the government will sue everyone for sure."
"You can't say that. Although we can't beat Zhang San, we can help reduce the sentences of those suspects, so we still have to be invited."
"But having said that, we are all working hard to learn from Zhang San's lawsuit, but we always feel that we are a little behind. What is going on?"
The people at this table were chatting when suddenly I heard someone next to me say: "That's because you haven't read enough."
Several Erbi looked back and immediately stood up, "I've seen Li Xingshou."
Li Guozhong said with a smile: "The reason why Zhang San is able to win many battles lies in his research and understanding of the law. And you are thinking of taking advantage of the law, but you can take advantage of it. In the end, the president of the court still looks at the laws and regulations. Naturally, you have to be different." If you really want to win against Zhang San, you have to study the law!"
"Li Xing's first words make sense. That's really what happened."
Bianjing Law Firm.
"Xueshi Wang, you invited me here, what can I do for you?"
Zhang Fei looked at Wang Anshi doubtfully.
Wang Anshi mysteriously took out a copy and gave it to Zhang Fei, "Please help me take a look."
"oh!"
Zhang Fei picked up the copy and looked at it, and said depressedly: "Scholar Wang, I can't comment on your article. I may not even understand it."
Wang Anshi looked slightly embarrassed and said, "I wrote it in your style."
Zhang Fei understood immediately, and after taking a closer look, it turned out to be about the implementation of the Business Law. After looking at it, he shook his head and said, "It's a little bit embarrassing."
Wang Anshi immediately said: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Fei said: "If Mr. Wang wants to use this case to promote this business method, first of all, you cannot write this article yourself, because if you write it, it will be self-promotion, and others must write it.
Secondly, it cannot be so direct. Otherwise, it will be obvious at a glance that it is promoting the business law. It is too purposeful and will arouse people's disgust.
This needs to be written in several articles. The first one will tell about Liu Qing’s experience. An article about the previous articles that slandered Liu Qing and complained about his injustice.
In these articles, the livelihood issues of scholars are added to attract everyone's attention, and finally the business method is introduced. "
Wang Anshi suddenly became enlightened and nodded hurriedly: "It makes sense! It makes sense! In terms of publicity, you are the best."
Zhang Fei asked: "Scholar Wang seems to be very concerned about this matter."
Wang Anshi was startled and said with a serious expression: "It just so happens that I plan to carry out education and scientific examination reforms. And this business method coincides with my education reform.
After experiencing the setbacks of Qingmiao Fa in Jingdong East Road and the problem of losing Fa in Southeast Sixth Road, I found that many officials only knew how to write articles and talk about the way of saints, such as legal studies, arithmetic, agriculture and other knowledge, but they knew nothing about it.
This has greatly hindered our new law. If we want the new law to continue to be implemented, we must cultivate talents in this field. Otherwise, I am afraid we will not be able to escape the consequences of the death of people and the government! "
If we say that this person is dead and the government is over, it means Zhao Xu, then it is true. In history, after the death of Zhao Xu, the conservatives led by Sima Guang began to counterattack and reckon, vowing to erase all policies related to Wang Anshi, whether external or internal.
However, Wang Anshi is also far-sighted. He has been quietly laying the foundation for his new policy, which is education reform.
He knew very well that his financial management ideas were not recognized by mainstream values today, and everyone still respected Sima Guang's ideas. He who wins people's hearts wins the world, and relying solely on power cannot last long.
How to change mainstream values? Education is the only way.
In fact, he has quietly implemented it in the arithmetic center of the Imperial College, which is to upgrade based on grades.
This seems appropriate, but in fact he deliberately ignored the moral evaluation.
Whoever has good grades can move up.
But this is not enough. He also wants to change the allocation of talents in the DPRK and China. He encourages students to learn a skill, such as arithmetic, law, medicine, etc., to diversify their knowledge and attack the conservative base.
His transformation was known as "Xining New Learning" in history.
This is a very critical step, which can provide a steady stream of talents for the future.
Unfortunately, this method did not last long.
However, Zhang Fei accidentally proposed the Business Law, which coincided with Wang Anshi's strategy and could also solve the burden on the court, which made him extremely excited.
It's just that he didn't say it, because if you said this kind of thing openly, the resistance would be very great, so he wanted to use the business method to build the plank road openly and covertly.
Interestingly, this coincides with Zhang Fei’s idea. He also wants to leverage the current foundation of education to obtain more talents for the judiciary, and at the same time, strive for more talents for all walks of life. The criterion for success also lies in a strong country and a prosperous people. If we fail to do this, we cannot talk about success.
"I see."
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Let's do this. I'll go back to my wife and write a few drafts. Then Academician Wang will find some more people to polish it up and change the style of the article to make it feel like it was not written by one person. Just handwriting.”
Wang Anshi said: "If you can help, that would be great, but there is no need to find a few more people, I can do it alone."
Zhang Fei asked in astonishment: "Can Bachelor Wang write multiple styles by himself?"
Wang Anshi chuckled and said, "If it were your style, I wouldn't be able to do it, but for articles of your level, I can imitate them just by reading other people's articles."
Zhang Fei immediately said: "Scholar Wang's literary attainments are truly admirable."
Wang Anshi laughed and said: "What kind of literary attainment is this? It's just imitating other people's articles, nothing more than familiarity. You're just lazy."
Zhang Fei said: "I'm busy."
Wang Anshi thought for a moment, "That's true. You have a lot to take care of now, but if you write a good article, it won't be of much use. Look at Sima Fu, he is quite knowledgeable, but it's of no use. He's not as good as you."
Zhang Fei smiled dryly and did not answer this question.
Suddenly, he heard a burst of very fast footsteps and saw Lu Huiqing entering the room directly.
Wang Anshi couldn't help frowning and said: "Jifu, when did you become so ignorant of etiquette?"
Lu Huiqing didn't care so much and came directly to Wang Anshi and whispered a few words in his ear.
After saying that, the master and apprentice looked at Zhang Fei in unison.
Zhang Fei touched his face and asked, "Why are you two looking at me like this?"
Wang Anshi asked: "Is what happened in Qizhou related to you?"
Zhang Fei asked in shock: "What's going on?"
"Um?"
Both of them looked unbelieving.
Zhang Fei was confused, "What is going on?"
Wang Anshi said: "There is a rebellion in Qizhou."
"ah?"
Zhang Fei was shocked, "Rebellion? I didn't rebel. Don't accuse me unjustly!"
