Chapter 235: The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind
You don’t believe it?
who do you think You Are?
This is Gouyuan’s account book!
Everyone looked at Zhang Fei with question marks on their faces, especially when they saw Zhang Fei's resolute expression, they really wanted to go up and beat him up.
Why don't you believe it?
Li Kaidao: "Zhang San, these are Gouyuan's account books."
Zhang Fei said firmly: "But I also believe my source. The account books of Gouyuan absolutely do not have tax payment records of Yuanwai Zhou, so I think there is something wrong with that account book."
"The show is coming." Su Shi said excitedly.
Su Zhe frowned and said, "Since the other party dares to bring the account books here, it proves that they are fully confident. Second brother, you'd better not be too happy too early."
In fact, this was also what Lu Gongzhu felt. These account books had been made like this, and it was already difficult to determine their authenticity, so he handed the account books and a tax note to Huang Gui, "You can show it to him."
"yes."
Huang Gui took the account books and tax bills, then went to Zhang Fei's shed and handed the account books and tax bills to Zhang Fei.
Zhou Cai, who had been relaxed just now, was inevitably a little nervous at this moment. He had a guilty conscience and was willful. He couldn't help but glance at the crowd. Many eyes were directed at him, all with the same meaning, hesitant.
We do it perfectly and there is no way we can make mistakes.
Sima Guang secretly glanced at Wang Anshi and saw that his expression was also extremely nervous. He thought to himself, it seems that he did not do anything.
Zhang Fei took the account book and opened it to check. Xu Zhiqian also turned her head and started reading. She suddenly said in surprise: "Ah! There is really Zhou Yuanwai's tax payment record."
After saying that, she looked at Zhang Fei again, "Could it be that we really made a mistake?"
After Huang Gui heard this, he sighed secretly, "You only realize now that it's too late."
Shen Huaixiao and others looked at Zhang Fei with smiles, anticipating their hesitant and confused expressions.
Obviously, he was also fooled by Xu Zhiqian's acting skills, but this is not surprising, after all, Xu Zhiqian used her acting skills to deceive Zhang Fei.
There is no way, how can Xu Zhiqian survive with a father named Xu Zun, as his daughter, without knowing any acting skills?
"Will not."
Zhang Fei frowned and shook his head, turning page by page slowly. Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and stared at a name on the account book. Then he turned his head to look at Mr. Lu and said: "Prefect Lu,
There is something wrong with this account book."
As soon as these words came out, Li Guozhong and others stood up directly.
Is there a problem? Impossible, he can't possibly see it? Shen Huaixiao shivered all over, and big beads of sweat fell down his cheeks.
Everyone in the audience held their breath, as if they could hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground.
Lu Gongzhu asked: "What's the problem?"
Zhang Fei first replied: "This is the account book from two years ago."
Mr. Lu nodded.
Zhang Fei said: "But there is a record of Geng Ming's tax payment on it."
Lu Gongzhu was stunned, "Geng Ming?"
Many people present looked confused and did not react.
Who is Geng Ming?
But the name seems familiar.
Zhang Fei said: "Prefect Lu must have forgotten that I fought a lawsuit for Geng Ming last time."
Mr. Lu nodded dully, as if he hadn't reacted yet.
Zhang Fei said: "At that time, I carefully investigated Geng Ming's information. He was forced by Wei Yushan to sell his land and house in three years, and became a monk. He just wanted to return to his land and house this year. In other words, his
Tax payment records from at least four years ago are unlikely to appear in two years' books."
Zhao Pian, who personally tried Geng Ming's case, felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, "Yes! There is no way that the account books from two years ago would have Geng Ming's tax payment records."
During the investigation of this case, the details of Geng Ming and Wei Yushan were revealed very clearly.
Shen Huaixiao, Du Xiu and others looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
impossible!
How can this be!
We clearly copied the account books from two years ago.
Of course Lu Gongzhu also reacted, secretly happy in his heart, and said: "Bring it to me quickly."
Huang Gui quickly gave the account book to Lu Gong.
Mr. Lu took a closer look at the book, and sure enough, it was written very clearly on it: Geng Ming, Baima Township.
Li Kai also got up and took a look, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Could this be the same person with the same surname?"
Before Lu Gongzhu could speak, Zhang Fei said: "It is possible to have the same name and the same surname, but it is absolutely impossible to have the same name, the same surname, the same village, the same household, and the same name. We also checked at the time. Banpo Village, Baima Township,
There is only one Geng Ming."
Mr. Lu frowned, "What on earth is going on?"
Zhang Fei spread his hands: "I also want to know what is going on. It is very common for the account books to be wrong, but why can Yuan Zhou's two years of tax money be matched with this wrong account book?"
Lu Gongzhu couldn't help but look at Zhou Cai with a frown.
Zhou Cai was not as calm and calm as before, and he panicked and defended: "I don't know, I don't know anything."
Li Guozhong and others on the opposite side were even more dumbfounded.
Didn’t you say everything was done?
Logically speaking, it should be done.
Otherwise, the tax payment record from this week would not be on it, but why is this happening?
They couldn't have made a mistake in their account books, right?
this.
This is so embarrassing.
At this time, deafening whispers could be heard inside and outside the hospital, showing how many people were discussing.
This is really weird.
Lu Gongzhu gave a slap in the face and said, "We will adjourn the court temporarily until I can find out the matter."
Then he got up and turned around with the judges and entered the hall.
After entering the lobby, Lu Gongzhu said to Li Kai: "Li Tongpan."
"exist."
"Go to Gouyuan immediately and find out what is going on."
"yes."
At this time, Li Kai was also sweating profusely.
This problem is really big!
As soon as they entered the hall, there was a huge public outcry outside.
This is really incredible.
Is it haunted?
Wei Yushan, who was observing outside the door, patted his chest several times. It was because he had enough intentions. Fortunately, he did not participate. Otherwise, this time it would be really over.
He was also a well-known big landowner in Kaifeng County, but because he pleaded guilty last time and took the initiative to pay all the taxes, Wang Anshi had no choice but to take him out and torture him again.
Tang Ji looked confused, leaned forward, and whispered: "There can be no problem with that account book. Our people specially checked it again when it was sent to Kaifeng Mansion."
Cao Han frowned and asked, "Could it have been tampered with beforehand?"
"That's impossible, unless!"
Du Xiu was startled suddenly, as if he realized something.
Gouyuan has always been under the control of the three divisions. Except for the emperor, no one can hide it from their eyes and ears and tamper with it.
Shen Huai's filial piety was pricked, "Don't talk so much now, you should quickly send someone to Gouyuan to have a look."
"I'll send someone there right away."
Du Xiu just stood up and suddenly sat back down again, his face pale.
Shen Huaixiao asked: "What are you doing?"
Du Xiu blinked and looked at Shen Huaixiao again, "It's impossible to enter Gouyuan now."
"Why can't I get in?"
Shen Huaixiao couldn't help but look horrified, and his right hand couldn't stop trembling.
It turned out that when there was a water leak in the upper courtyard, the emperor directly sent people to inspect it. Since then, he has been keeping an eye on it and there is no chance to do anything.
Tang Ji suddenly panicked and said, "What should we do now?"
what to do?
Shen Huaixiao and others suddenly felt that they were already lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
Su Shi suddenly nudged Su Che next to him with his elbow, "Third brother, should we consider changing to a big house?"
Su Che looked at the frustrated Su Shi and asked, "How much did second brother win?"
"Two twenty-five strings."
Su Shi blurted out the answer, but as soon as the words came out, he was stunned.
Su Che asked again: "How big of a house does the second brother plan to change?"
"!"
Su Shi gritted his teeth and cursed: "Those profiteers."
Wang Anshi said proudly to Sima Guang: "This is called the Skynet's greatness, sparse but not leaking!"
Sima Guang stroked his beard and nodded, smiling: "Yes! This is really satisfying!"
Wang Anshi's expression froze, "Jun Shi, why are you so happy?"
Sima Guang said: "I, Sima Guang, have always treated things differently. I also deeply hate such illegal and disciplinary matters. If you can find out, of course I will be happy!"
As he said that, he looked at Wang Anshi and said, "Jie Fu! You don't want to implicate me, do you? How can you be so vicious?"
Wang Anshi gave Sima Guang a look of contempt, waved his sleeves and said, "Okay! Stop pretending here. You have no principles at all. It's really boring."
"strangeness!"
Fan Chunren frowned.
Qian Yi on the side said: "What's weird?"
Fan Chunren said: "Since Zhang San has such important evidence, why did he do so much yesterday?"
"yes!"
Qian Yi pondered: "If he had directly presented this evidence yesterday, it would have been enough to establish the victory, so why bother talking so much."
Fan Chunren thought for a moment and said, "Brother Qian, what do you think the purpose of this lawsuit is?"
Qian Yi was startled, "Tax on tenant farmers."
Fan Chunren nodded.
"What are you looking around here for?"
Xu Zhiqian was very curious when she saw Zhang Fei looking left and right.
Zhang Fei looked around and said, "Oh, I'm looking at how many people are involved. I have to be more careful in the future."
Xu Zhiqian rolled her eyes, "Okay, our purpose is not to pursue these matters, we want to help those tenant farmers. We have just begun, and we still have to fight next."
Zhang Fei glanced at Li Guozhong and others opposite him, "Look, they are all like dead dogs. What follows is purely my personal performance moment."
Xu Zhiqian glanced at Li Guozhong and others opposite him, and saw that all of them were ashen-faced and slumped on their chairs. They had lost their fighting ability and almost laughed out loud.
An hour later, Li Kai gasped and returned to Kaifeng Mansion.
"The Gouyuan side said that they made a mistake when sorting out the account books. This is the account book for two years, and that was five years ago."
"ah?"
Cen Yuanli and Yu Zaishen were both dumbfounded.
Can you still play like this?
Mr. Lu took the account book and took a look. There was no record of Zhou Cai's tax payment anywhere.
Li Kai asked: "Prefect Lu, what should we do now?"
This is a big question.
All fools know that there must be someone cheating here, and the background is not trivial.
Lu Gongzhu hummed, "They brought this upon themselves, and they have no one to blame."
I thought to myself, huh, you think you can cover the sky with one hand and hide the sky from the sky, but this time it will be easier for you.
Zhang Fei was already sitting on a chair and yawning. Of course, he was the only one in the audience who was so leisurely and elegant. The others were already sweating and almost dehydrated.
torment!
For many people present, this waiting process is undoubtedly a torture. They don't even dare to get up and leave. Whoever leaves at this time will feel guilty!
finally!
Lu Gongzhu, Li Kai and others walked out of the lobby and returned to their seats.
Everyone looked at Mr. Lu.
Lu Gongzhu looked directly at Zhou Cai, "Zhou Cai."
"The little one is here."
Zhou Cai trembled and almost slid down from the chair.
Mr. Lu picked up the handful of tax bills and asked, "Where did you get these tax bills?"
Zhou Cai was startled and said hurriedly: "Little people, little people get their income by paying taxes."
"Asshole!"
Lu Gongzhu was shocked, "It has just been found out by the Gouyuan officials that when the Gouyuan officials were sorting out the account books, they accidentally bound together the table of contents of the account books from five years ago and the account books from two years ago.
But how could the tax money you got from paying taxes in two years be recorded in the account books from five years ago? Why don’t you collect it from the real thing as soon as possible.”
Every official present knew in their mind that this kind of operational error was impossible, because the tax payment record of each township would have a date written in front of it, so there was only one reason: the account books had been compromised in advance.
So the question is, how come this tax bill is correct?
At this time, Zhou Cai's face was already pale, and he said mechanically: "The villain doesn't know, the villain doesn't know anything."
There were many looks from around him, telling him nakedly to just bear it all.
After you leave, I will take care of your wife!
"I don't know?"
Lu Gongzhu hummed: "I see you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin. Come on, please pull Zhou Cai out and beat him twenty times."
Zhou Cai trembled with fright, and when he was about to shout for mercy, Zhang Fei suddenly stood up and said, "Prefect Lu, regarding the account books, this is not within the scope of Xiaomin's lawsuit. Xiaomin also reserves the right to sue them on behalf of Bachelor Wang.
power, but now, the people hope that this case can continue to be tried, so that it is fair."
Mr. Lu frowned and thought to himself, I am interrogating, but I still use you to command.
But then I thought about it, the account book matter must involve many people. If the investigation continues along this line, the investigation may be delayed, which is indeed unfair.
At the same time, he also knew very well who was behind Zhang Fei, and only that person could adjust the accounting books. Wang Anshi did not have this ability.
Since Zhang Fei said this, it means that the emperor may not want to take the falsification of the account books to the court for trial.
Mr. Lu nodded and said: "Since you ask so, let's continue the trial first."
Zhang Fei added: "The people hope that the defendant Du Shaojing will be summoned."
This return of the carbine killed Mr. Lu so much that he was stunned.
Zhou Cai is already a dead fish. If you don't grab him and beat him, why are you going to tell Du Shaojing?
It was all reviewed yesterday.
But Lu Gongzhu soon understood that Zhou Cai was already a dead fish, and there was no value in interrogating him. He might not be able to tell you anything you asked him, so he could only wait for rescue.
Du Shaojing was so arrogant yesterday that he humiliated the court all morning. Zhang Fei would not be able to explain to his superiors if he did not get back the situation.
Lu Gongzhu nodded, "Let Zhou Cai be escorted down first, and then Du Shaojing can be sent to him."
