Daxianguan

Chapter 475 Who Are You?

Zhan Wende, he knows very well, he is a narrow-minded master who will take revenge, and by marrying the daughter of the head of the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, he became the son-in-law of his family. It can be said that he is extremely arrogant and arrogant. Facing himself, he was also very arrogant. He had never suffered such a loss.

What's more, even if Zhan Wende is willing to calm things down, Zhan Wende's fat as pig wife might not just let it go. Compared with Zhan Wende, that woman Tu Zhe only met a few times, but she still has a headache.

I'm afraid this matter is going to become a big deal.

Xie Sanhe and Jiang Yan had benefited too much from Zhan Wende, and now seeing Zhan Wende being beaten into a pig's head, they became anxious.

"Bold lunatic, dare to commit murder in broad daylight, and still not let him go?" Xie Sanhe was the first to yell out, he has his own official authority, and now uses his official power to scare the other party first.

After all, Xie Sanhe is the chief secretary of the city mansion. He is seventh grade, and his official position is not low. Now he roars, borrowing his official position, he is really full of momentum.

But obviously, those two inside were not the kind of little thieves he thought.

"Are you two deaf? Do you know what you have done? Tell you, if one is not good, it will be beheaded, and you will be arrested if you don't hold your hands." Jiang Yan also yelled.

But his momentum was much worse than that of Xie Sanhe, Chu Xian didn't even bother to look at it.

"Three, I will release him, but before releasing him, first ask what this shopkeeper Zhan has done. If he violated the law, should you still thank me!" Chu Xian said jokingly.

Jiang Yan over there immediately scolded: "Fart you, what law can shopkeeper Zhan break? Besides, even if you break the law, it's not your turn to meddle in other people's business."

Chu Xian frowned.

"Who are you?" Chu Xian asked.

Jiang Yan sneered over there: "I am the supervisor of Wacheng Bapin Mutual Market, you thief, now there are [-] elite red gold troops in the outer sect, no matter how powerful you are, you can only be captured in the end, unless you You want to resist stubbornly, but in the end, there is only one dead end, you should think clearly."

After listening to this, Chu Xian smiled, with strong contempt and disdain: "I thought you were the magistrate of Wacheng, you speak so loudly, you are just a Bapin Mutual Market Supervisor, you are not worthy of talking to me, go away."

"You, you dare to speak wild words!" Jiang Yan's nose was almost crooked. He had never been said that before. The empress, Jiang Yan, was always high and mighty, but today he was belittled and belittled, so he immediately became angry.

"Come here, take this thief down for me." Jiang Yan gave orders angrily, but obviously, with the presence of the magistrate and the chief secretary, no one obeyed his orders.

Even Tu Zhe and Xie Sanhe both frowned and glanced at Jiang Yan. The other party was so angry that he dared to leapfrog orders. Isn't this just asking for trouble.

Jiang Yan over there also reacted, his face changed, and he whispered: "This, it's a slip of the tongue, but it's because the thief is really hateful, and the officer was careless for a while, so he found his way."

They were all in the same group, so naturally they wouldn't pursue too much, Tu Zhe glanced at Chu Xian at this moment, and spoke.

"Now even if I ask who you are, you won't answer, so I don't ask anymore. No matter who you are, you have caused a big disaster. Now I will give you a way to release shopkeeper Zhan immediately. Maybe I can be lenient to you, otherwise, I'm afraid there is really only a dead end." As a government official, Tu Zhe is naturally much calmer than an official like Jiang Yan, and at this moment he also showed his calm and prestige The posture, a few simple words, is more deterrent than what other people said just now.

If you were an ordinary thief, you must be terrified at this moment, thinking about how to get out, but unfortunately, Chu Xian is not an ordinary thief.

Tu Zhe's official prestige, let alone intimidating Chu Xian, even Chu San, who followed Chu Xian and had a lot of experience, couldn't intimidate him either.

"I think you should first listen to the crimes of Zhan Wende and De Ruixiang." Chu Xian was also too lazy to talk to Tu Zhe. Accepting benefits, but it is also inevitable to let him go. This kind of official is bound to be taken down, so Chu Xian does not need to be polite to him.

The next moment, Chu Xian reached out and picked up the ledger on the table and opened it.

Seeing the ledger, whether it was Zhan Wende or Jiang Yan and Xie Sanhe over there, their expressions changed.

"This is the account of the Deruixiangwa City Chamber of Commerce in the last three months. It can be said that the business is very good. There are thousands of transactions involving the sale of glazed tiles alone, involving 30 taels of silver. Then I would like to ask , just these items, how much tax should be collected according to the law of the Holy Dynasty? By the way, isn’t the inter-market supervisor? This matter is under the control of the inter-market supervisor. You must be clear in your heart, and you don’t need to check it. Just talk about it."

Chu Xian sat there calmly, and actually asked questions in a questioning tone.

The most important thing is that the content of this question is too terrible, and the face of the Mutual Market Superintendent suddenly becomes ugly.

Of course he knew, not only that, he also knew that De Ruixiang had evaded tens of thousands of taxes in the past three months.

After all, Deruixiang's business is not only the specialty glazed tiles here, but also other goods, especially blood stones and spirit stones. The transaction volume recorded in the accounts actually exceeds the glazed tiles, plus other things. The income of the Chamber of Commerce in Wacheng alone is quite astonishing.

Naturally, according to the tax law of the Holy Dynasty, in Wacheng, the tax evaded by De Ruixiang is definitely not a small amount, and how much money De Ruixiang can make by relying on these conveniences, even Jiang Yan, the supervisor of the mutual market It's not clear, but it's definitely enough. The hidden benefits he gets from De Ruixiang every year are tens of thousands of silver.

So when he heard that handsome young man suddenly asked about this matter, Jiang Yan was flustered for a moment.

If this kind of thing cannot be exposed, it is fatal.

But soon, Jiang Yan reacted.

What is the other party, he asked himself to say, should he say it?

Think more.

So Jiang Yan sneered: "What do you mean, the trade of the chamber of commerce, do you have the final say or the official has the final say? I advise you to let people surrender immediately, otherwise, just like what the magistrate said, you will have the final say. It's a dead end."

Chu Xian is still calm and composed, and that calmness makes people feel bad.

Whether it was Tu Zhe, Xie Sanhe or Jiang Yan, they all noticed it.

Seeing that Chu Xian put down the account book in his hand, he suddenly said: "The Mutual Market Superintendent is responsible for supervising and recording local trade, and there are accounts and files. I think you must have records, but there must be a fake account for Lied to the higher-ups, you said, if you go to your office or search in your private house, can you gain anything?"

Jiang Yan's complexion changed wildly when he said this.

But Jiang Yan thought about it again, the other party was bluffing himself. He had indeed hidden some real accounts, but they were all hidden in the secret compartment at home, and the other party could not get them.

What's more, these two people are here, and they are also at a loss.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan's heart beat and calmed down.

"Also, according to the salary system of the holy dynasties, the number of officials and the amount of salary are fixed. Just like your mutual market supervisor, your monthly salary is about a dozen taels of silver, and it does not exceed 200 taels a year. It's quite a lot, and it's not a problem to support a large family. After all, the county government will arrange the residence, but I heard that you, the supervisor of the mutual market, even bought two houses and married three wives and concubines. Just to buy a house, your yearly salary of more than 200 taels is probably not enough, right?"

Chu Xian asked.

Then Jiang Yan immediately became frantic. The fact that he bought the house is actually not a secret. In Wacheng, almost everyone knows it. He is also used to being rampant. He feels that no one will investigate, so he is unscrupulous. Some.

But at the moment when Chu Xian said it in such a way, Jiang Yan still felt a chill.

Immediately, Jiang Yan's face sank, with murderous intent in his eyes, he asked fiercely: "You thief, stop pretending to be mysterious and nonsense, and, who are you?"

When Jiang Yan asked this question, he was obviously rushed.

He clearly knew that almost all the things he did violated the laws of the holy pilgrimage, but no one could touch him these years.

The reason is very simple, in Wacheng, there is also the Chief Scribe of the city mansion as his backer.

The money he gets from De Ruixiang every year is only 2 taels, which is far behind Xie Sanhe, the master secretary, so he is not afraid at all when the master secretary is around.

These years, isn't it also calm.

As for the magistrate, I heard that he also received money from De Ruixiang, but I don’t know the exact amount. It is estimated that he did not collect as much as the master secretary. Relatively speaking, the magistrate is still a little too cautious, but even if it is Be careful, turn a blind eye to the Deruixiang Chamber of Commerce, or in other words, ignore it at all.

Here in Wacheng, everyone is our own from top to bottom, so why be afraid?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan felt that he was worrying in vain again, and his momentum rose again.

Not only Jiang Yan, but Tu Zhe and Xie Sanhe were also numbed by Chu Xian's words at this time. Looking at each other's aura, they had a feeling that this person might have some background.

At the moment, Xie Sanhe was thinking about it, secretly thinking, could it be that the censor secretly investigated?

But he knew all about Liangzhou's censor, and he knew what he looked like. If the censor came, he would have known it from the moment he entered the city gate.

In other words, this person is not a censor.

Is that an official sent by the censor?
Not right either.

If it was an ordinary official, where did he get such a great momentum?You must know that the magistrate and you are both present, and the other party should also come to salute.

In other words, this person is not an official at all.

But no matter who it is, it can't continue like this. Xie Sanhe feels that this matter is not good, and he can't tell what is wrong. In short, he just feels that it is not good.

Therefore, it must be resolved as soon as possible.
