Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 617

He Laowang left the house before Yinshi arrived, and went to sea before dawn.

To catch green leaf fish, you have to chase Choumo Yinchu, use an oil lamp to illuminate a meal, and then cast a net.

From Yinshi to dusk, He Laowang came back with his fishing boat.

This trip to the sea brought in a total of four green leaves, each of which weighed more than a catty and a half. These four fish can be sold for [-] Wen.

In addition to the green leaves, there are six black loach, and the black loach produced in Yuhai City is also valuable, these six fish can sell for five hundred coins.

Coupled with large and small miscellaneous fish, shrimps and crabs, it can be sold for almost two pennies.

Of course, this is the case without paying taxes. He Laowang is an honest person, so naturally he has no guts to avoid taxes.

With a basket of fish, He Laowang went home first, changed his wet clothes, and prepared to go to the market.

The daughter He Qingye hadn't gone out for a long time, she clamored to go with He Laowang, He Laowang agreed, and when she arrived at the market, if she could pay less tax, she might be able to buy some clothes for Qingye.

As for the money Xia Hu gave him before, he would not dare to spend it easily.

But is it possible to pay less tax?

Thousands of countries are not good enough, and the calculation of tax and silver is really unrivaled. Ordinary people have no possibility of tax avoidance at the source, because He Laowang has to sell all these fish to the market, and then resell them to the market. other people.

That's right, it was sold to the market.

The bazaar of Qiancheng Kingdom is different from Daxuan. The bazaar of Qiancheng Kingdom itself is run by someone. The eldest son of the magistrate of Chen County runs the bazaar, and he is still an official.

The person who manages the market is called Anshi. Anshi is an eight-rank official with dozens of servants under him.

He Laowang handed the fish to Fang Bogong, the guard. Fang Bogong took a look at it, weighed it on the scale, and shouted: "Six black loachs are twelve and a half catties in total, and other miscellaneous fish are thirty catties. The total price is one hanging." , pay sea tax 240 coins, fishing tax [-] coins, city tax [-] coins, land tax [-] coins, road tax [-] coins, government donation [-] coins, county donation [-] coins, township donation [-] coins, a total of Get money, [-] Wen."

It is difficult for ordinary people to understand this tax name.

When fishermen go out to sea to fish, the sea of ​​Qiancheng Kingdom belongs to the gods, so they must pay [-]% of the sea tax.

But since the sea tax is collected, why is there a fishing tax?

Because under the protection of Qiancheng God, fishermen can go fishing with peace of mind, so fishing tax must be paid.

What if you meet pirates?
This is because the fishermen did not fully follow the god's will to go fishing, so they lost the blessing of the god, and when they encountered pirates, it had nothing to do with the god.

Not to mention the city tax, you have to pay [-]% tax to sell fish in the market.

If you can fish, why do you have to pay land tax?
Here the knowledge will be greater.

First of all, as a fisherman, you can't eat fish all at once, can you?You have to eat food, right?
Under the protection of the gods, the farmers of Qiancheng can grow grain safely. Since you have eaten the grain, you have enjoyed the protection of the gods. Shouldn’t you pay this tax?
The same goes for road tax.

Fishermen also have to walk, and road tax is definitely indispensable.

As for government donations, county donations, and township donations, these are all determined by the yamen at each level. There are overall considerations and careful calculations in it. Ordinary people don't have to bother with it, just pay for it.

But these are not the point.

The point is that these fish are not black loach and miscellaneous fish. There are four green leaves here, which are not counted.

He Laowang said cautiously: "There are four green leaves here."

"What green leaf?" Fang Baigong lowered his head and said, "Hurry up and give me the fish, take the money and leave!"

"No, no, master, look, this is Aoba..."

"Are you going to sell it or not? If not, go away!" Fang Baigong stepped forward to snatch the fish.

He Laowang refused: "Master, take a look, just take a look, this is a green leaf, this is not a miscellaneous fish!"

"You still don't want to listen, right? Hurry up and give me the fish!" Fang Baigong stepped forward to tear it up, and He Laowang hugged the fish basket tightly. Seeing this, a group of people quickly gathered around to watch.

If this was in Daxuan, the onlookers would definitely be able to say something fair, the fish is still in the hands of He Laowang, and the four green leaf fish are known to all the fish sellers.

But the people of Qiancheng country were silent, they were very careful in what they said in ordinary times, for fear of saying a wrong sentence and causing disaster.

Seeing more and more people gathered around, another guard, Feng Junde, pulled Fang Baigong aside: "What do you mean? Why are you blacking out his green leaves?"

Fang Baigong said in a low voice: "I have played two games too many times in the past few days and owed a lot of gambling debts. His four green leaves are all high-grade, and they can be sold for almost two pennies. Shouldn't I pay off this debt? "

Feng Junde said in a low voice: "Then you can exchange his little money to him. After deducting the tax, you will give him more than 200 Wen."

"If I gave him the money, wouldn't the fish be credited!"

"What are you afraid of? I'm here. Let's just hide it from my brothers, and don't need to enter the account."

Fang Bogong scratched his head and said, "I want to play twice tonight. If I give him the 200-odd Wen, I will have no money."

"Look at your face," Feng Junde snorted, "Don't say I didn't warn you, there are many people watching around, if Master Anshi finds out, let's see how he will deal with you!"

Fang Baigong smacked his lips, and came to He Laowang: "Just now, I was wrong. There are indeed two green leaves, one catty each, and the price is [-] Wen. After deducting the tax, I will give you an extra [-] Wen. Take it. Bar."

He Laowang shook his head and said, "My lord, there are four green leaves, each one weighs a catty and a half!"

"Keep an inch!" Fang Baigong was annoyed, stepped forward and kicked He Laowang down, and snatched the fish.

Qing Ye helped her father up, and whispered: "Father, let's go back."

This is a sensible girl, and she knows that there is no reason to talk to these people.

Mr. He got up, clutched his chest, coughed twice, staggered to Fang Baigong, and took the seventy coins.

Fang Baigong counted out seventy Wen, and He Laowang stretched out his hand to take it.

Fang Baigong raised his foot suddenly, and kicked He Laowang again.

This kick was still kicking in the chest, and it was still kicking in the original place.

Fang Bogong often beats fishermen, farmers and hunters in this market. This is a unique skill he has practiced. He can hit the same position twice, which he said can make them remember the pain.

Today's feet were a little heavier, and only a click sound was heard, and He Laowang's bone was broken.

It didn't hurt to break bones, he used to break other people's bones, and these poor people couldn't do anything to him.

He stepped forward and kicked again, still in the same place.

This foot was so hard that the broken bone directly pierced He Laowang's heart.

He Laowang lay on the ground, convulsed for a while, and died.

Qingye lay beside her father's ear, hissing.

Fang Bogong stood where he was, with a dazed expression on his face.

Feng Junde said in a panic: "You are so indebted, this time you got into trouble!"

Thousands of onlookers continued to watch.

Some of them were afraid, some were angry, and some were sorry.

But there was no expression on their faces, and no words were spoken on their lips.

They continued to watch, silently.

……

In front of the county yamen, He Wang took He Qingye and put He Laowang's body in front of the yamen. The two women were dressed in sackcloth and knelt on the ground, waiting for justice from the county magistrate.

Chen Zhixian really couldn't figure it out, why did they come back after sending He Laowang's family away just now?

Knowing that this family is not easy to provoke, why can't I get rid of them!

Chen Zhixian looked at his eldest son, Chen Renshan, and sighed, "This is your subordinate! You should deal with this matter properly."

Chen Renshan said: "Father, I asked about this matter, and we can't blame our police entirely. Then He Laowang hit two blue and white flowers, and he hit four. He is blackmailing, so he fought with our police. Woke up, our police were forced to do nothing, we couldn't look at him..."

"Fart!" Chen Zhixian slapped Chen Renshan across the face, "Who is He Laowang, you pretend I don't know? You lend him the guts, would he dare to go to the market to blackmail?"

"The matter has already happened," Chen Renshan said, covering his face, "Daddy, what do you think we can do about this matter?"

Chen Zhixian said: "I'll let you do it first, and let your subordinates find a way to get these girls away from the gate of the yamen.
If you can't get rid of it, I'll take care of it. When I come to do it, the people under your command will go to jail. Do you understand? "

Chen Renshan hurried back to the Anshi Yamen, found out Fang Bogong, and kicked him.

Fang Baigong knelt on the ground, and said with aggrieved face: "Master, it was that unruly person who blackmailed me, so I did it with him."

"Fart, how dare you lie to me!" Chen Renshan stepped forward and beat him again. Fang Baigong had never been beaten before, and after receiving these two blows, he burst into tears.

"My lord, it's really not the fault of my humble position."

"I don't care whose fault it is, you first find a way to persuade that girl to leave the yamen gate."

Fang Bogong sobbed and said: "Human life is at stake, this is not a good thing to persuade!"

"How the hell do you know that human life is at stake? Let me tell you, if they don't leave before dawn tomorrow, you can wait to go to prison."

……

In the middle of the night, the cold wind was blowing, and Mrs. Wang was still kneeling at the gate of the yamen with her green leaves, waiting for the county magistrate to give them justice.

Qingye's knees were numb, and her body was frozen, she didn't see the county magistrate at all, and she didn't know if she could see it.

But the mother said that the county magistrate is a good man and would not let his father die injustice like this.

Towards the third watch, Qingye was about to fall asleep, but saw a man quietly walking in front of their mother and daughter.

It was Fang Bogong, the one who killed her father.

Fang Bogong took out two slings of money from his pocket, and stuffed them into Wang's hands: "For this matter, consider it my fault. Hurry up and bury your man, what does it look like hanging here?"

Mrs. Wang didn't know this man, Qing Ye shouted: "He was the one who killed Daddy!"

"Keep your voice down!" Fang Baigong kicked Qingye, "Kids, what do you know? I said that this sister-in-law is not sensible. You should be sensible. In our Qiancheng country, people can't sue officials. You Don’t tell me, come back quickly!”

Wang said with tears in her eyes, "Master, is a human life worth two pennies?"

"Then how much do you want?"

"I don't want your money, I want justice for my man."

"What the hell is fairness? Your man cheated in the market, and you deserve to be beaten to death! Do you want this money or not, and you will leave immediately!"

Mrs. Wang refused to leave. Fang Baigong prepared a carriage in advance, picked up He Laowang's body, and threw it into the carriage.

Wang chased after him, trying to grab He Laowang's body, but Fang Baigong turned around and kicked Wang's chest.

Wang fell to the ground on his back, and Fang Bogong stepped forward to make another kick.

Still in the original place, exactly, Wang didn't come up in one breath, and almost passed out.

Fang Bogong wanted to make another kick, when he suddenly felt something spinning above his head.

what?
It seems to be a thousand cars (gyro).

He saw Qingye holding a whip in his hand, looking at him with blood red eyes.

What kind of sorcery is this, how could she throw Qianqianche on my head?

Fang Baigong wanted to take a picture of the thousand cars on his head.As soon as he reached out to touch it, Qianqian Che immediately flew up.

Fang Baigong waved his hand and missed, Qianqian car fell back on top of Fang Baigong's head, still in the original position, exactly.

Qingye flicked the whip, Qianqian car speeded up, the thing was sharp on the ground, and it sped up as soon as it turned, the top of Fang Baigong's head was worn out in a blink of an eye.

Blood flowed down his forehead, Fang Baigong cried out repeatedly, trying to catch Qianqianche, but failed.

He covered his head with his hand, Qianqian Che suddenly landed on his hand, instantly drilled a hole in his finger.

Fang Baigong couldn't bear the pain, he retracted his hand, Qian Qianche landed on top of his head again, still in the original place.

"You, what demon technique did you use!" Fang Baigong hissed: "You, you demon, you quickly take this thing down, let the county magistrate know that you know the demon technique, and he will definitely kill all of you."

Qingye swiped the whip again, smoke rose from the thousands of chariots spinning.

Fang Baigong tried his best to cover the top of his head, thousands of cars pierced through his palm, and landed on top of his head, in the same place as before, exactly.

Fang Baigong screamed repeatedly, and the bone fragments flew out from the top of his head.

Soon he couldn't scream anymore, Qianqianche drilled through the top of his head and fell into the cranial cavity, brain matter sprayed out in balls along the hole in the top of his head.
