Chapter 67 Become bigger and stronger and create greater glory
Xu Jingchang, the general envoy, led thousands of tax collectors and attacked the Han palace with great momentum... The news spread quickly like a bird with wings.
Everyone knew that the King of Han was evading taxes, and even the Ministry of Punishment was planning to punish him, so everyone knew about it.
After all, there are no secrets in the imperial court, this is a recognized fact.
It's just that the confrontation between Xu Jingchang and Sanfasi happened so quickly that some people who were not very diligent didn't know the specific content...for example, the prince-in-law Wang Ning.
In the past, he was the king of Han's pawn, but because the king of Han quickly fell out of favor, Wang Ning was embarrassed. Later, he robbed the Meiyin land property of his consort, and was made miserable by Xu Jingchang's private residence.
It has been some days since Wang Ning didn't come out.
This time, I suddenly heard that Xu Jingchang was going to the Han Dynasty Palace. He and Zhu Gaoxu lived across the street from each other.
Wang Ning rushed to the gate of the courtyard, looked outside, and saw soldiers with bright armor.
We even saw Wang Zhong, the Marquis of Jing'an, who showed off his power, and Zheng Ci, the Minister of Punishment.
I have no choice but to feel sorry for my friend and turn against him.
Wang Ning suddenly remembered that during the Chinese New Year this year, Zhu Gaoxu gave him many gifts, including gold and silver, silk and fur, all of which were valuable things.
The King of Han completely collapsed.
Yes, what are you happy about?
Qiu Fu saw Zhu Neng not far away and immediately called him over, "I said Cheng Guogong, your boy works as a Qianhu in the General Affairs Department, you can't possibly not know, right?"
The whole team was buzzing with gongs and drums, and some people even set off firecrackers, which exploded from time to time... Those who knew it was that the King of Han was punished and had to parade in Yingtian, but those who didn't know thought it was the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu who wanted to marry a wife and was giving a betrothal gift!
Is this a punishment or a reward?
Wang Ning was confused, "A fine? Xu Tongzheng, aren't you here to arrest the King of Han?"
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Wang Ning thoughtfully and meaningfully, and then said to Xu Jingchang: "Xu Tongzheng, do you think these gifts can be discounted and fined?"
After a while, the family came back and told Qiu Fu, "The King of Han made loans, evaded taxes, and was heavily fined by the court. All of this was taken out of the palace and paraded in the streets as a warning to others. The King of Han suffered heavy losses this time."
Also, what are these Qiangong Babu beds, seats and benches being moved out for?
You said it wasn't a house raid. Isn't that a lie?
Zhu Gaoxu coughed slightly and said, "All my money was used for loans. I didn't have enough cash at home. These furniture were old things left behind in the original mansion, so I gave them to Xu Tongzheng to offset the debt... Prince Consort, are you helping me with a gift?"
Pay off the debt?"
He also thought about coming to report the King of Han, but he didn't know that he had become the best example of promoting the tax law.
Qiu Fu rolled his eyes, "You call this a tragic loss? Look at them, they are beaming with joy. They have never been so happy during the Chinese New Year! By the way... what are they happy about?"
Zheng Ci, starting from today, there is no place for you in Ming Shilin!
Wherever the team passed, there was immediate heated discussion.
"Quickly, bring out all the gifts that King Han gave me!"
If the effect is not good, his second brother can peel off his skin without anyone else.
When they passed the mansion of the nobles, Qiu Fu, Duke of Cheng, Zhu Neng, and other nobles in Beijing, even Li Jinglong came out.
Zhu Gaosui was among the crowd, holding pen and ink in his hand, taking notes from time to time. He had no choice but to do it. The task was assigned, and the private newspaper he was in charge of must intensify its efforts and publicize it vigorously.
No, I want to save myself!
What to do?
It’s over!
Once you have a good reputation, it’s worth a thousand dollars, isn’t it?
He subconsciously looked at Zhu Gaoxu. Could it be that this guy was about to turn over?
He pulled his neck and shouted, separated from the taxman, and rushed inside.
If I continue to stay at home, will it be treated as stolen money?
If Xu Jingchang gets caught, he will be doomed.
After finishing speaking, Xu Jingchang nodded to Wang Zhong, and the Marquis of Jing'an immediately took the tax collectors, pulled the property and furniture from the Han Dynasty Palace, played winds, gongs and drums, first rushed to Jubao Gate, and then detoured The whole of Yingtian was finally transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs and transferred to the national treasury...
Could it be that the drama in Ming Dynasty is going to change from uncle-nephew rivalry to father-son drama?
The more Wang Ning thought about it, the more afraid he became. He was getting involved with the King of Han, and he even went to Xu Jingchang's home. How could that guy let him go?
His eyes returned to Prince Han's Mansion. It took Wang Ning a long time to figure out what happened. He almost wanted to slap himself.
"What the hell is going on?" Qiu Fu cursed.
Even Wang Zhong, the Marquis of Jing'an, and Zheng Ci, the Minister of Punishment, looked friendly, chatting and laughing. Is this the first time I have seen such a harmonious house raiding scene?
Isn’t it necessary to tie Zhu Gaoxu up?
This is a fierce tiger!
While Wang Ning was in a daze, several people's eyes also fell on him.
Something big is going to happen.
Xu Jingchang smiled and nodded, "Okay, just put everything on the carriage, and carry whatever you can carry... Go around Yingtian City, beat the gongs and drums, and tell all the officials and people that the King of Han will pay interest taxes and fines on loans. A total of 160,000 taels. The prince broke the law and was as guilty as the common people. Who dares to ignore the tax law and evade taxes? The national law is ruthless!"
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: "It's nothing. If my cousin hadn't suggested it, I would have lost more. And it's nothing special to come back after all the money is gone. Is it money? You can still make money after it's gone!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "The king of Han made about 200,000 taels. According to the 20% tax, he needs to pay 40,000 taels. In addition, plus a triple fine of 120,000 taels, the total is 160,000 taels. As long as you pay enough, no Something else."
At this moment, the tax collectors from the General Administration Department are moving things out.
Zhu Gaoxu collapsed.
Just when he ran in, the atmosphere was a little strange. Xu Jingchang and Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu were standing side by side, with smiles on their faces and chatting happily.
But those with a little bit of wealth, whether they were civil or military officials or wealthy businessmen and nobles, all felt that dark clouds were hanging over their heads and they were in panic.
Wang Ning is completely stupid. He just wants money?
Why are you so loud?
"Master, these are valuable things. Where are you going to take them?"
Thinking of this, he rushed inside desperately.
There were ten boxes, and Wang Ning asked people to load them into the carriage.
Zhu Neng looked embarrassed and hummed, "Lao Qiu, are our necks as hard as those of King Han?"
The grandson of Xu Jingchang is really ruthless!
The king of Han was defeated so quickly.
A trace of reluctance flashed in Wang Ning's eyes, and he made up his mind: "Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"
Totally confused.
"Your Highness the King of Han, don't you feel bad for losing so much money this time?"
"Evidence? What evidence? You mean the fine? Do you want to help the King of Han pay the fine?" Xu Jingchang frowned.
He just said he would report him, wouldn't he hate him?
If it's broken, just take the money yourself and Baba will send it to you, but it won't be left behind. Isn't this a shame?
He secretly looked at Zhu Gaoxu, only to find that Zhu Gaoxu didn't bother to look at him at all, but was chatting animatedly with Xu Jingchang.
Hearing this, Qiu Fu's face turned dark. If I can't kill Xu Jingchang, I can't kill you, Zheng Ci. We'll see!
Wherever the huge team went, there was a commotion.
Wang Ning was stunned and felt bad all over.
He took his family and Zhu Gaoxu's gifts, walked out of his house in a mighty manner, and went straight to Zhu Gaoxu's mansion.
Qiu Fu was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
The Tian family is also ruthless, brothers turn against each other, and father and son kill each other... But it doesn't matter if you think about it. In the past four years, Zhu Yunwen first defeated several uncles, and then was killed by his fourth uncle Zhu Di.
He couldn't explain why he spent so much money but couldn't produce publicity results.
Zhu Neng hummed: "Brother, don't you know how much you weigh?"
The entire team was extremely huge, stretching back and forth for more than ten miles, really like a parade.
Qiu Fu was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "Could it be Xu Jingchang?"
It's not a house raid, why are you making such a fuss?
As a result, I made a wrong calculation. Wang Ning was stunned for a moment and could only say: "Yes, yes, I am here to help the King of Han repay the debt. It will not be easy for the King of Han. Please take it back."
Completely finished!
The gold and silver silks and satins of the Han Dynasty, various valuables, and even a few Qiangongbabu beds were all moved out... Seeing this scene, Wang Ning's eyes darkened.
Wang Ning was startled for a moment and murmured: "I, I said that the King of Han sent me ten carts of gifts, and I want to submit them to the court as evidence."
"What do you mean? Even the king of Han can't escape, can we be an exception? Take a good look at your house to see if there are any loan lenders, otherwise we will be next!"
At this time, Li Jinglong came over and said with a smile: "Don't accuse Xu Tongzheng unjustly. I just heard that it was Zheng Ci, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, who sentenced him... Tsk, tsk, this is really a loyal minister and a fierce warrior!"
When they heard that the King of Han had paid taxes and fines, the ordinary people naturally couldn't help but be unhappy and shouted that the laws of the country were strict and His Majesty was wise.
The housekeeper saw it and felt very sad.
"Xu Tongzheng, I want to report the King of Han! I have evidence!"
"Ah!" Qiu Fu screamed strangely, his eyes widened in anger, and he gritted his teeth in anger, "Who is it? Who tinkered with it, and if I find out, I will crush his head!"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Prince Consort, why didn't I hear clearly what you just said?"
It’s over!
"Hahaha! You say this like a prince, with the air of a general! Let's do this, I'm going to invest one million, let's make it bigger and stronger, and create greater glory!"
Wang Ning was even more stupid. He took out more than 100,000 yuan, but got one million. It turned out that Zhu Gaoxu didn't even have to lose any money!
"King of Han, I, I also want to do business with you, please allow me to do so."
Zhu Gaoxu said coldly: "No need, my chamber of commerce plans to be called Yixin Chamber of Commerce, and we won't accept half-hearted people."
