Daxianguan

Chapter 471
Chu Xian's face was gloomy at the moment.

The taxes of the Holy Dynasty are not high, especially in Liangzhou, because of its remote location, the tax reduction decree has been implemented for decades, and it is unexpected that there is such a serious tax evasion.

The most staggering thing is that the other party is still so unscrupulous.

"What is this Wacheng government order for?" Chu Xian scolded, no need to ask, if De Ruixiang dared to evade taxes so recklessly, the Wacheng government order must be responsible for ineffective supervision, and may even be involved .

Chu San stood aside, waiting for Chu Xian's order at the moment. If Chu Xian asked him to arrest people, Chu San would do it without hesitation.

But Chu Xian didn't.

Depending on the height of the station, the angle of viewing the problem and the way of dealing with the problem will be different.

Now that Chu Xian was the governor, he had to be cautious in every move he made, and he was the type who would be astonishing if he didn't make a move, so things had to be clarified before he could come up with a countermeasure.

Chu Xian was not only thinking about a small tile city, he was looking at the whole Liangzhou, and carefully recalled the tax returns of various places in Liangzhou in the internal affairs book. Among them, tile city was only ranked in the middle, so other cities, right? Is there a similar situation to Wacheng?
Chu Xian felt that there must be.

Maybe the problem is more serious than Wacheng.

So take it easy.

As for the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, Chu Xian also carefully investigated and understood that Deruixiang also belongs to a large chamber of commerce in Liangzhou. It is a firm composed of several wealthy merchants, each of which holds shares. , There are actually many distant relatives of officials from various places.

Although the Hajj law strictly forbids officials from doing business, it does not prohibit their distant relatives, so this is a loophole.

Chu Xian understood, no wonder the other party was so unscrupulous, it was clearly collusion between government and businessmen.

This kind of thing is definitely not an isolated case. Chu Xian doesn't believe that his predecessor, son-in-law Guo, didn't know about it, and Li Ji, as a long history, doesn't mean he doesn't know about it either?
In the past few days in Wacheng, Chu Xian and Chu San kept investigating and figured out a lot of things.In the process, the two discovered that someone was already following them secretly.

No need to ask, this kind of investigation must have been noticed by others, which is inevitable, not to mention that Chu Xian did not particularly hide the investigation.

As for the tail that has been following behind, Chu San asked if he should take action to warn him, Chu Xian thought about it, shook his head, a small character, there is no need to bother, and the situation in Wacheng is almost the same , because the other party has no fear at all, and they are quite rampant in doing things. Since they came here two days ago, a guy knows how to evade taxes, so he knows how unscrupulous the situation in Wacheng is.

So in order to avoid complications, Chu Xian decided to leave Wacheng temporarily and continue to investigate other cities.

But just after leaving Wacheng, the road ahead was blocked by someone.

There were more than a dozen people blocking the way, and all of them were warriors with unfriendly expressions. Among them was a scribe who was full of smiles and looked unscrupulous.

"Two, stay."

The scribe had a mustache, and at this moment he looked Chu Xian and the two up and down, and then asked the person beside him, "Is it them?"

The man nodded.

Chu Xian took a look at the man, knowing that when he and Chu San were inquiring about the situation these days, this man had been following behind him, no need to ask, the other party had realized that he was leaving, so he chased after him.

After being confirmed, the scribe asked the man to step back, then stepped forward and said, "The two of you are not businessmen."

"How do you know?" Chu Xian asked.

The scribe laughed: "Ms. Zhan is well-informed and has stayed in Wacheng for so long. He can tell merchants at a glance. If it is a merchant, it is impossible for only two people to go together, and he didn't buy anything when he went in and out of Wacheng. If it is not sold, will there be such a businessman?”

Chu Xian also smiled: "What's the name?"

The scribe was proud: "De Ruixiang, Zhan Wende, are you the Bodhisattva in that temple?"

It has to be said that this scribe's questioning has his own characteristics. In simple terms, it is courtesy first and soldiers later.Chu Xian smiled at this time, and did not answer, but asked directly: "What advice do you have?"

Zhan Wende was taken aback for a moment, he probably didn't expect the other party to be so shameless that he didn't even report his family.

Zhan Wende can be regarded as the No. [-] character in Deruixiang. He asked himself that he has seen everyone and experienced all kinds of scenes, so he is pretentious. At this moment, he is not angry, but sneers: "If you don't report your family, you don't give face? But it's okay, I'm a very generous person, and I won't get angry. As for any advice, it's okay to say, Zhan has always liked to make friends, and when he saw the two of them, he wanted to make friends. No, I specially guide people Come and stop the two of you, Wacheng has already prepared a banquet for you, please turn around and show your face, maybe you can really make friends, there is a saying that when you are away from home, there are many friends and many ways. "

Chu Xian laughed, even a ghost couldn't be fooled by this, and it was lucky that Zhan Wende was able to talk nonsense here without blushing.

If he really went back, he would have to be placed under house arrest under control, and asked about his origin and purpose.

Chu Xian knew that the other party could do this. People in Liangzhou were inherently fierce, and it was common for them to fight each other if they didn't agree with each other.

Of course, these people must be jealous.

Because they can't figure out the situation on their side, otherwise, if they figure it out, they will probably do it directly.

Just when Chu San felt that Chu Xian would definitely let him make a move to teach these people a lesson, and then they walked away, he heard Chu Xian turn his head and ask, "Chu San, are you hungry?"

Chu San was stunned.

What is this routine?
I didn't say it before, but to be honest, although Chu San has already cultivated to the realm of Bigu, as a warrior, he can't stop eating a few meals a day, and he really didn't eat anything early this morning, so Chu San is very upset. Honestly.

"hungry!"

Chu Xian nodded: "Since I'm hungry and there are people inviting me to dinner, let's go back and have a meal. It just so happens that I have something to ask this Mr. Zhan."

I actually agreed!
Zhan Wende over there was very surprised. He likes to show off his eloquence and play tricks on people's hearts. He expected that the other party would not dare to go back. He probably wanted to do something, but he was not afraid. He brought more than a dozen experts from the chamber of commerce to deal with two people , It's easy to catch.

But what he never expected was that the other party didn't play the cards according to the routine, but actually agreed.

This made Zhan Wende, who has always been eloquent and pretentious, at a loss as to how to respond.

Chu Xian rubbed his belly and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhan, the two of us can eat, but your banquet should be better, more, and the food is not suitable. First, your business will lose face. Second, we It will also turn your face."

These words were said with a smile, with an approachable face, but in Zhan Wende's eyes, it actually made his heart skip a beat.

Something always feels wrong.

But Zhan Wende, as the master of Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, is also a high-ranking and powerful person. Most importantly, he thinks that he is unparalleled in strategy and is very conceited. How can he be compared in this moment.

Immediately, he came to his senses and laughed: "Since you two are so flattering, let's go. As for the banquet, don't ask, it is definitely the best."

After saying this sentence, he secretly said: "No matter how good the banquet is, you should eat and drink famously. This time, when you return to Wacheng, life and death are up to you."

So the two groups of people, with their own thoughts, walked back to Wacheng peacefully.

There are many restaurants in Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, but at this moment, Zhan Wende took Chu Xian and Chu San to a very remote courtyard.

After entering the door, you can see that the people standing on both sides are all burly men, each of them is full of murderous looks, and some of them are holding machetes in their hands.

Among these big men, there are many powerful half-demons, even monsters.

Standing in the innermost are two bull-headed monsters. They are physically stronger than the human race. Even a strong man like Chu San can only reach his chest when standing in front of the bull-headed monsters. There is simply no way to compare with it.

That's not to mention, there are two tigers, wolves and monsters led by iron chains.

This thing is extremely fierce, bigger than a bull, with a mouth full of fangs, of different lengths, densely packed, with a pair of blood-colored animal pupils, revealing infinite killing intent, no matter who it looks at, it seems to be staring at food.

It was this scene, and most people looked at it, and guessed that they couldn't even walk, but both Chu Xian and Chu San had no fear on their faces, and they walked all the way, even walking in a courtyard.

Jane Wende has been watching.

He has used this battle many times, and it can be said that he is already handy. Whether it is a competitor or a member of the official family, no matter how vigorous or confident he is, he has to show his secrets and be timid.

And no matter what you ask or talk about for a while, if the other party's momentum weakens, no matter what you do, his side will have the upper hand.

But Zhan Wende was a little uncertain about the appearance of these two people.

I thought to myself, are they not afraid?
Impossible, this kind of scene, I would be afraid of this kind of scene. In the past, there were cowhide coaxing people who came to Wacheng to do things. As a result, after walking around here, all the vigor and arrogance were gone, and there was Answer all questions.

"Huh, it's pretty good at pretending. I'd like to see how long you two can pretend." Zhan Wende felt that he had rich experience, and now it was his territory, his home court, he could do whatever he wanted, whether the other party was Whatever the reason, in the territory of Wacheng, you have to obey him obediently.

As for the banquet, of course there are preparations, but every time in the past, no matter who is brought here, the other party is not in the mood to eat and drink, but Zhan Wende himself can eat and drink to watch the show.

Now walking all the way to the living room, there are still a few big men with knives in their hands, watching around the table. Just ask, no matter how big-hearted people are, they don't have the heart to eat and drink.

But obviously, this time Jane Wende miscalculated
