Chapter Eighty-Six: A Dark Storm Rises (5)
"Hahahaha!" Hu Jin laughed instead of anger, raised his head and laughed wildly for a while, then shook his head fiercely and spat, "Bah, the law, do you think the law is for you, those of you, I tell you, I have money, I am the law!"
"I tell you, I will put this in this sentence today. The hundred thousand oceans belong to you, and this little beauty belongs to me. Get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise I will let you go without food!"
"Ah!" Yao Zhiyun was so scared by Hu Jin's fierce appearance that she trembled. She took a step back and screamed, not daring to look at Hu Jin.
Song Qinglian gently patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Seeing Hu Jin getting angry, Ma Wei became worried and hurriedly ran to Ming Jingxuan's side and pulled his sleeve: "Jingxuan, what are you doing? Good things have been ruined by you. If you anger Mr. Hu, our entire Minghui Hall will be over!"
"You just accept it and let him take Xiao Jiu as his concubine, what's wrong with it? We all have the benefits. Why are you so mean?"
Seeing his timid and fearful look, Ming Jingxuan's suppressed anger was about to break out and cursed at him: "Shameless people who forget their righteousness when they see profit, wouldn't they have what they are today?"
Seeing that Ming Jingxuan could not persuade him, he could only run to Hu Jin, leaned over and looked up at him, and said with a favor: "Don't get angry, our Jingxuan is a stubborn person, don't..."
"Get out!" Hu Jin was also angry. Seeing that he was even more upset, he sent all his anger on him and kicked him away.
"Ouch!" He was kicked in the chest and fell to the ground, covering his chest with pain, and no one paid attention to him.
Hu Jin still glanced at Ming Jingxuan sideways and gritted his teeth: "How is it, Mr. Xuan, I have already told you what to say. Are you agree or not?"
Ming Jingxuan still looked calm, but just smiled slightly and said to him calmly: "It's not impossible to ask me to agree, but you have to promise me one thing."
Hu Jinhao said angrily: "You said, I, Hu Jin, can afford to pay for the money you want!"
Ming Jingxuan gently raised the corners of his mouth, turned his head, and saw no sign of anger, and said slowly and softly: "I don't want a hundred thousand oceans of betrothal gift money. I just want to give me a few layers of dividends for the money you have embezzled and bribed over the years. How about it, do you agree?"
Hu Jin changed his face in an instant, and his originally arrogant face added a little horror, and even his voice was a little nervous: "What are you... what are you saying?"
He could never have thought that Ming Jingxuan would know about this.
The industry he bought was the Hu family of a famous merchant in the capital. Because of its huge industry, there were many people who wanted to do business with him. Therefore, he accepted a lot of bribes, and these improper bribes were also mostly income.
However, because he has a large number of industries, the officials did not clearly check him, so he has so much money.
No one has found out these years. He thought he was doing things perfectly and no one would ever know about it, but he didn't expect that Ming Jingxuan, a performer, would reveal it. He felt panic.
Seeing his expression, Ming Jingxuan became more convinced. He took two steps forward, but was still slow: "The reason why Mr. Hu has so many property is that in my opinion, most of these are accepted by bribes."
"This money is really not a small amount. If the person above the widow checked and found out the improper income, have you ever thought about the consequences of Mr. Hu?"
"You, you..." Hu Jin's arrogant arrogance suddenly retreated halfway, his momentum was reduced, and his voice became incoherent.
The secret that no one knew was revealed. This time, he was really scared. He didn't know what the consequences of tax evasion were.
He was unwilling to be defeated, pretending to be unafraid and said to Ming Jingxuan: "You... don't talk nonsense, this is nothing at all. Do you have any evidence to prove that I have accepted bribes!"
Although he was showing off his face,
The upper part was so panicked that he changed his color and his voice was unconfident.
But Ming Jingxuan's confidence became more and more sufficient. He raised his head and said loudly: "Is it tax evasion? As long as the tax bureau investigates, it will be found out. Is there any evidence needed?"
"It just so happened that Mr. Chen Daoyuan, the head of the government, is also a spectator of our Minghuitang and has a good relationship with me. If I told him about this, he would definitely send someone to investigate. If the result is found, it would be a merit."
"I believe Mr. Hu knows better than me. If you forcefully rob Xiaojiu, you can try to be quick. But by then, you will be in prison and pay your property, but it will be really not worth the money."
"I don't want to worry about this other people's business, but if you insist on marrying Xiaojiu, then no wonder I'm going to care about this matter too much. Mr. Hu, I can't stop you from accepting Xiaojiu."
"But you are a businessman, you know more about settlement than me. Think carefully, is this transaction cost-effective?"
Although Ming Jingxuan said that the clouds were calm and gentle, every word hit the key point. This time, Hu Jin was really afraid.
If the bribes are found out, he will not only be imprisoned, but even all the industries he has operated over the years will be wasted.
What Ming Jingxuan said was not something he could not do. He could accurately name the official in charge, and probably had some friendship.
Accepting bribes is a major event, and in the laws of the Republic of China, reporting is a meritorious. As long as the government knows it, it will never ignore it.
If he really robbed Yao Zhiyun and Ming Jingxuan really reported him to the tax bureau in anger, the result would be unimaginable. It would be really not worth it to pay for his future for a woman.
Ming Jingxuan grabbed the handle, and in this way, he had to retreat.
"Hmph, you're ruthless!" He shook his arm and shouted, "Okay, I don't want this girl anymore, but you don't want to cause trouble for me. I warn you, if something happens to our Hu family, you won't think about it!"
He turned around and ordered the people behind him: "Let's go, never set foot in this dirty place!"
"Yes." The servants behind him answered.
"Oh, please don't do it!" Seeing that Hu Jin and others were about to leave, Ma Wei was unwilling to accept it and wanted to step forward to stop him.
But Hu Jin and others no longer paid attention to him. They took those people and carried the betrothal gifts and walked out of the Minghui Hall compound.
The farce finally settled, and the disciples present breathed a sigh of relief, while Yao Zhiyun was still sobbing and crying.
Ming Jingxuan walked to Song Qinglian and Yao Zhiyun with great strides, "Okay, don't be afraid, it's all right."
"Sixth Brother!" Seeing Ming Jingxuan coming, Yao Zhiyun immediately broke free from Song Qinglian, ran to Ming Jingxuan's arms, hugged him, and cried.
She moved extremely quickly, and Ming Jingxuan was caught by her in surprise. Seeing her like this, Song Qinglian couldn't help but be stunned.
For some reason, I knew I shouldn't care about these things, but I still felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe if I like someone, I would be afraid of him getting close to others.
Even though the unhappiness in Song Qinglian's eyes flashed, Ming Jingxuan still noticed it. He didn't want Song Qinglian to be too concerned, so he immediately pushed Yao Zhiyun away and walked to Song Qinglian's side, "Let's go into the room and talk."
He walked towards the main hall, and Song Qinglian also followed her steps. Yao Zhiyun saw it and felt anger in her heart, but it was not easy to get angry. She had to snort and follow Ming Jingxuan's footsteps...
"Sixth Brother, why are you so shameless? This time, you dare to come here without any scruples. Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise I might have been sold by the eldest brother!"
In the main hall, Yao Zhiyun sat on a chair and sobbed. Although the incident had subsided, she still did not stop crying.
Ming Jingxuan comforted her: "Okay, don't be afraid. After I said this today, he would give up and probably wouldn't dare to bother you again, and you don't need to worry."
"But you have to be careful about
Oh, Hu Jin believed me today. If he reacted one day, he might come to us for trouble. Don’t take it lightly.”
Thinking of Ming Jingxuan's words just now, Song Qinglian always had a question in her heart: "Brother Xuan, how did you know that Hu Jin accepted bribes? What you said is true?"
Ming Jingxuan shook his head and let out a sigh of relief, "Actually, I'm not sure he really accepted the bribe. I just tried it all at once, but I didn't expect it to be guessed correctly."
"Last time he invited Xiaojiu and I to the concert, I accidentally caught a glimpse of his accounts when I passed by his warehouse. Maybe he thought I was a folk artist who didn't know how to do business, so he was neglected to be on guard, but I still understood all this."
"Although I have been selling my art all year round, I still have some understanding of the accounts. When I saw such a large amount of money, I felt that something was strange. Even if his family's business was big, it would not be possible to have such a big profit."
"I suspected that his gain was ill-gotten gain, but I wasn't sure he had to have accepted bribes. But the matter had nothing to do with me, so I didn't speak to anyone."
"Today he came to propose marriage to Xiaojiu so loudly. I think he would definitely not give up if he couldn't get Xiaojiu. His family has a great career, and our Minghuitang has no other way to compete with him, but I must not let him take Xiaojiu away like this."
"In a hurry, I thought of the bill and used this trick to threaten him. I was trying it out, but I didn't expect that I was really guessing that he had received a large bribe."
