Obtain the divine power at the beginning

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Shi Tianyu.

Yue'er said: "Dai Kun is nothing, my brother is still the general of Longting! Humph! Kill a corrupt official like Jinshi, he comes to eat, we do the work, are we his servants?"

At a young age, he is very domineering.

Shi Tianyu stood up and said angrily: "Pan Dong, Chen Biao, and Song Ziqing, the three of you, immediately go and call the heads of the Tax Department, Tea Inspection Office, Salt Inspection Office, and Iron Smelting Office respectively."

~~
Pan Dong hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir, it's so late at night, is it okay?"

Tang Guan waved his hand and said: "What can't be done? Don't forget, the county magistrate is in charge of the administration of a county, including taxation, yellow registration and accounting." Song Ziqing, Chen Biao, Pan Dong and others quickly turned around to call the tax collectors. .

Shi Tianyu asked Zhang Hui to make a cup of good Longjing tea for everyone.

Tonight, everyone has to stay up late.

Everyone drank fragrant tea and waited in the court for the heads of the tax department, tea batch office, salt batch office, and iron smelting office to come over.

~~
After a while, Zhang Ming, a clerk from the Tax Department, came with a stack of account books and an abacus.

Zhang Ming, sleepy-eyed and disheveled, came to the court, bowed to Shi Tianyu, and said, "Sir, it's so late and you still call this villain over. What's the matter?"

At this time, Pan Dong came back to report and said to Shi Tianyu: "Sir, the heads of the Iron Smelting Institute and the Salt and Tea Laboratory are not at home."

Shi Tianyu waved his hand towards Pan Dong, then turned to ask Zhang Ming: "Zhang Ming, you and the small officials from the Taxation Department, the Iron Metallurgy Department, the Tea Batch Department, and the Salt Batch Department are in the same industry, and they can be regarded as colleagues. There should be some contact between you. Do you know where they are going?"

~~
Zhang Ming quickly bowed and replied: "Master Shi, the head of the Iron Smelting Institute is very happy. He often goes to the Iron Smelting Mountain on the outskirts of the city. He has built a villa there and has many beauties. Salt batching laboratory, tea batching laboratory The head of the office has a good relationship with the wealthy businessmen Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu, and they often go to Shenggelou at night."

Shi Tianyu was furious when he heard this and cursed: "Damn it! Gu Xiang hasn't finished taxing this year yet, but they are doing nothing. Zhang Ming, can Shengge Tower pay the tax in full? From now on, I will check the tax. All agencies within Guxiang must obey my unified orders to act. Otherwise, I will kill them all."

Zhang Ming was frightened and trembling, and quickly bowed and replied: "Master Shi, Shengge Tower never pays taxes."

~~
Tang Guan, Chen Biao and others had angry faces and shouted in unison: "Why?"

Zhang Ming looked mournful, bowed and replied: "Xiang Zhong, the shopkeeper of Shengge Tower, is the nephew of Mr. Xiang Laixiang, a colleague in charge of finance in Fucheng. He approved a note to Mr. Xiang Xiang, a low-ranking official, saying that the world is not good, and Shengge Tower has been losing money all year round. Taxes Most of the fees are waived, and I only pay one tael of silver every year to show off."

~~
Zhu Xiang took over the conversation and said, "It involves Xiang Laixiang. This is not something to be trifled with."

Shi Tianyu knew that Zhu Xiang was using the provoking method, so he said coldly: "It's not easy to provoke, but it must be provoked. Let's listen to Zhang Ming's briefing first. I am now the General of Longting, and many people may not understand it. This identity of mine.

What is Dragon Court? The Dragon Court is the Golden Palace, where civil and military officials gather.

General Longting is responsible for maintaining the safety of the Golden Palace, including the safety of money.

How can you provide salaries to civil and military officials if you don’t have money? How can the palace run without money?

Don’t the Long Live Lord and the Queen need to eat? Do you really think I am just a small county magistrate? "

~~
Everyone's hearts suddenly trembled, and they suddenly understood that Shi Tianyu had the emperor's backing.

All of a sudden, the county government officials were all confident.

Zhu Xiang felt confident, and then he turned sideways and asked Zhang Ming: "How many taels of silver does our Guxiang County have to pay to the court in taxes this year? How many taels of silver are we still short of?"

Of course, I asked this intentionally.

~~
Zhang Ming was an honest man, and he quickly turned sideways and said to Zhu Xiang: "Return to Lord Zhu Bo, which is equivalent to taels of silver. The whole year is 28,000 taels of silver. In view of the fact that the money and food paid by the rich people in the past have been paid by Mr. Shi." It was ordered to be distributed to the 100,000 people who renovated the old city, and the Tax Department also advanced two thousand taels of silver. Therefore, the tax owed to the court by Gu Xiang this year is actually thirty thousand taels of silver."

Shi Tianyu rolled his eyes and said, "What other wealthy people and wealthy businessmen have not paid taxes or paid less taxes?"

~~
Zhang Ming came back one by one with all his family treasures: "Master Shi, the city is headed by two Yin merchants, Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu. They only pay taxes totaling twenty taels of silver every year, just to show off. In addition, there are various inns and gold shops. , the shopkeeper of the hotel did not pay much tax. Outside the city were two wealthy businessmen, Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai, who did not pay any tax. It is said that the real richest man in Sichuan should be Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai. Just The taxes these two people have not paid for more than ten years are enough to cover Yao Luyang's savings."

Tang Guan, Pan Dong and others were very angry and asked in unison: "Why?"

~~
Zhang Ming said in embarrassment: "Before, Han Jin and Wang Cai greeted the two thieves, Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu each paid ten taels of silver as tax. As for the other shopkeepers, they said that the public order was not good. There are always gangsters robbing them, and they also say that the government officials always come to their stores to eat and drink, and they can’t make money for a long time.”

Shi Tianyu said angrily: "Then why don't Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai pay taxes?"

Zhang Mingdan shed tears sadly when he heard this and said with choked sobs: "Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai are iron smelters. They have supported Ambassador Gao Deshuang of the Iron Smelting Institute for a long time. They also supplied weapons to the garrison and were supported by the garrison. One of my humble legs is disabled because of these two."

After that, he lifted up his pants again and showed Tang Guan and others the scars on his thighs.

~~
When everyone came forward to take a look, they all screamed.

Yue'er also came closer to take a look, and exclaimed: "Wow! Isn't it? Are these two profiteers, Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai, so vicious? They dented Uncle Zhang's bones."

~~
Snapped!
Shi Tianyu picked up the gavel and slapped it on the desk.

Everyone was silent and stood still.

Shi Tianyu said angrily: "Zhang Ming, okay, I understand this matter and will give you justice in the future. Can you tell me, how much tax should each of them pay? And those rich people still have to pay back taxes If they make up for it, how much tax will they be able to pay by the end of the year? Will it be enough to meet our Guxiang's mission in the next five years?"

When everyone heard that it was the tax task for the next five years, they all felt shocked.

~~
Zhang Ming picked up the abacus, started calculations, and said, "Sir, Jiang Zaixing has opened three teahouses and a bank in the city. According to the tax, he has to pay one thousand five hundred taels of silver a year. There are two families with more money. According to the tax amount, he should pay five thousand taels of silver a year for a gold shop, a Jiyuan, and five salt villages."

As he spoke, he flipped the compass.

~~
Song Ziqing said angrily: "Aren't Qian Youyu and Jiang Zaixing evading taxes? The two of them alone paid 6,500 taels less in one year. Isn't that 65,000 taels in ten years? ?”

Zhang Ming continued to provide information and said: "Fang Zhiqiang from the south of the city is the nephew of Jiangchuan County Magistrate Fang Shizhong. The two thieves Han Jin and Wang Cai turned a blind eye to him in the past. Therefore, the rent of the wet market, stalls Fang Zhiqiang collects all the fees. Let me estimate that if we take the three big markets back to the county government and manage them, we can collect taxes and fees of 1,700 taels a year."

~~
Shi Tianyu sighed and said with emotion: "Well, I thought that after pacifying the gangsters and killing the six landlords, the common people could live a good life. I didn't expect that there are so many injustices. It seems that I It’s not easy to be the county magistrate. If you want to continue to be the magistrate, you have to risk your life.”

After that, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked back and forth.

~~
Tang Guan bowed angrily and said, "Sir, what are you afraid of if your head falls to the ground? At worst, Tang will help you lose your head."

Song Ziqing said angrily: "Master Shi, we have been officials for a time. Before, we just wandered around in the world with our heads high. What are we afraid of now?"

Chen Biao stared angrily and shouted loudly: "Aren't the six major landowners sent by heaven? Why are the evildoers like Huang Jinshi, Gao Deshuang, and Yan Linshi still alive?"

Pan Dong wanted to say something else, but Shi Tianyu waved his hand towards Pan Dong.

~~
Shi Tianyu immediately said: "Okay, everyone is not afraid, what else am I afraid of? I dare to kill Han Jin and Wang Cai, who else are I afraid of? Zhang Ming, keep talking."

Hearing the excitement among the crowd, I thought that the method of stimulating generals had taken effect, so I sat down again to listen to the report.

Zhang Ming counted for a while, then reported the numbers, and said: "The most difficult ones are of course Yan Linshi and Zhuo Shicai. Judging from the amount of iron they smelt and provide weapons, they have to pay taxes every year. Thirty-three thousand taels.”

~~
As soon as Zhu Xiang calculated it, an idea came to him, and he smiled and said: "If we let them pay it back, wouldn't it be all right? There may be extra taxes? Zhang Ming, what about Shengge Tower?"

Zhang Ming calculated in his mind for a while and then gave the specific number: "Back to Zhu Zhubo, the business of Shengge Tower has been very prosperous. Many wealthy businessmen and wealthy people often patronize Fucheng Tongzhi Xiang Xiangxiang. According to the tax amount, it You have to pay six thousand taels of silver a year."

Shi Tianyu then remembered the evidence of Zhu Xiang's crime when he reported Jin Jin, so he checked with Zhang Ming and asked with a smile: "How many tax collectors are there in the Taxation Department now?"

~~
Zhang Ming bowed and replied: "There are twelve. According to the establishment, three people are enough."

Pan Dongqi asked: "Then why are there so many people in the Tax Department?"

Zhang Ming gritted his teeth and simply said it all. He thought that if I die, Master Shi will redress my grievances anyway, so he said: "Only Mr. Xiang, the Tongzhi in charge of finance in Fucheng, arranged for six people, and Wu Zhengdao arranged One person, Han Jin arranged for two relatives, and only Xiao Xiao and Liang Pin were left alone. "

~~
Chen Biao said angrily: "Grandma, the Tax Department asked them to finish it themselves."

Shi Tianyu asked knowingly: "Zhang Ming, who is in charge of the tax department now?"

Zhang Ming bowed and replied: "It's Jinshi, a relative of Master Dai, the prefect of Fucheng. He, Xiaoren, and Liang Pin are making it up."

After saying it in one breath, my heart suddenly felt relaxed.

If these words are not spoken out, they will be held in the heart for a long time, which will be quite depressing.

~~
Shi Tianyu lightly stretched his arms, stood up, and turned to Zhu Xiang and said: "Zhu Zhubo, it seems that a few of our brothers will go to the Taxation Department, Iron Smelting Institute, Salt Laboratory and Tea Laboratory Be responsible!

Otherwise, how can Guxiang County complete the taxation tasks assigned to us by the court? Those bastards in the golden age actually squandered public funds like this for a long time, eh! We come to do it and they come to eat it. Are we servants of the golden age? "

~~
Su Xing hurriedly reminded Shi Tianyu and said: "Master Shi, these heads of tax bureaus belong to vertical management. The appointment of the heads of tax yamen at the county level must be approved by the Busi Prefecture. The heads of tax yamen above the prefecture level must be approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The Ministry of Finance jointly approved it!”

~~
When Shi Tianyu heard this, he said angrily: "Don't I have the right to employ people? If I can't complete the tax task, won't the court want to hold me accountable? Hehe! I just went against the grain. From now on, everything will be done Wherever I am in charge, all officials are appointed and removed by me, without exception!"

When Su Xing heard that there were still vacancies in the tax bureaus, he was actually very excited.

He stepped forward and bowed his hands and said: "Master Shi, don't be anxious, Su has a way."

Tang Guan said excitedly: "Please let Su Dianshi speak."

~~
Su Xing immediately offered advice and said: "When Mr. Shi submits a proposal for the head of the tax office, if Dai Kun, the prefect of Fucheng, does not agree, the tax departments under the Busi Prefecture will not approve it. However, we can also bear the burden. , the method to prevent the higher-ups from sending people to serve is very simple, that is, if the higher-ups don’t approve it, then our people will continue to be in temporary responsibility.”

Shi Tianyu praised: "What a plan!" He was very happy, and immediately took action and said: "Let's decide on the candidates now. Tang Guan will be in charge of the iron smelting institute, Song Ziqing will be in charge of the salt batching institute, Pan Dong will be in charge of the tea batching institute, and Chen Biao will be the head catcher. "Also a prisoner."

~~
Tang Guan said anxiously: "Sir, I really don't want to leave my humble position."

I really don’t want to be that far away from Zhang Hui, even though the head of the Iron Smelting Institute is a fat guy.

"Hahahaha!"

When Chen Biao, Song Ziqing, Pan Dong and others heard this, they immediately understood what Tang Guan meant and burst into laughter.

~~
Zhang Hui understood, her pretty face turned red, she pointed at Tang Guan and cursed: "You are the only one who is selfish!"

Everyone laughed again.

Shi Tianyu also had a good idea and said: "Tang Guan, okay, I know that you are concerned about Hui'er. If you move the iron smelting factory to the county government to run errands, won't it be a success?"

"Haha!" Everyone roared with laughter again.

~~
Zhang Hui ran away embarrassedly.

Tang Guan blushed and lowered his head, but his heart was sweet.

Shi Tianyu added: "Follow me, don't be afraid of hard work, the future is definitely bright."

Encouraging everyone in this way lifted their spirits.

Su Xing felt sad when he saw that it was not his turn to be the head of the salt tax, tea and iron tax bureau.

~~
Shi Tianyu saw it and said: "Su Dianshi, cheer up. You are a scholar and will be a high official in the future. Although these positions are lucrative, they require force to support them. Don't worry."

He reached out and patted Su Xing's shoulder to encourage him.

~~
When Su Xing heard this, he immediately became energetic and quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, Master Shi, for the compliment."

Thinking that if you follow Shi Tianyu, one day your official position will definitely surpass that of Liu Cong, and you will often slap Liu Cong in the mouth in the future.

right! I must give Liu Cong a slap in the face.

Damn it, I used to be slapped by Liu Cong so much that I have no teeth now.

~~
Zhu Xiang saw that it was already dawn after the discussion, so he said to Shi Tianyu: "Master Shi, please have a rest. I will draft an official document with Su Dianshi immediately. After settling the tax collectors, I will report it to the Fucheng government office and Chengdu cloth." Sifu."

Shi Tianyu smiled and said: "Zhu Zhubo, brothers have been promoted, have power, and are in better spirits than before, so why should we sleep? Get rid of those corrupt officials now, and do as we say."

~~
"Hahahaha!"

Everyone laughed, and their spirits were indeed lifted.

Shi Tianyu immediately divided the work and said: "Chen Biao, call the police immediately and seal the Shengge Tower overnight. Song Ziqing and Pan Dong led people to seal the salt batching laboratory and tea batching laboratory respectively, and bring all their account books. Zhu Zhubo, Zhang Ming organized the tax collectors and prepared carts loaded with silver to come to the county government office. Su Dianshi and Xu Huan did not have to go. They checked the accounts at the county government office and imagined their voices to draft confessions for them. Zhang Ming just provided them. , which are the confessions of Huang Jinshi, Wu Dejin, Wang Sen, Xiang Zhong, Jiang Zaixing, Qian Youyu and others."

After that, he stood up and waved to Zhang Ming to take the lead.

The group then headed to Shengge Tower.

~~
It's almost dawn.

The morning breeze was soft and the streets were deserted.

There are not many guests left in the Shengge Tower at this time. The only guests are Xiang Zhong, the shopkeeper of the Shengge Tower, Jiang Zaixing, a wealthy businessman, Qian Youyu, the ambassador of the Taxation Department, Jin Shi, Wu Dejin, the ambassador of the Salt Laboratory, and Wu Dejin, the ambassador of the Tea Laboratory. Wang Sen and others were drinking and having fun.

While drinking, they watched Jiang Zaixing's performance with a girl on the bed. They clapped and cheered from time to time when they saw that Jiang Zaixing, despite his age, could still perform on that girl.

"It's not good, shopkeeper, Mr. Shi has brought someone to check the ward."

While everyone was watching with great interest, the servant downstairs opened the door in panic and came in to report.

~~
"boom!"

Jiang Zaixing and the girl were so frightened that they fell under the bed.

Xiang Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to help Jiang Zaixing and ordered the servant to go out: "Go to your grandma, why are you panicking? We are doing legal business, why are you afraid of that bastard named Shi?"

Jiang Zaixing covered his lower body with his hands and kept crying out in pain.

boom! At this time, the door of the room was kicked open by Shi Tianyu, and he immediately asked Xiang Zhong: "Shopkeeper Xiang, I didn't offend you, but you cursed me and slandered me. What crime should you do?"

Tang Guan led the people in immediately.

~~
After all, there is still the prestige of being an official.

Xiang Zhong saw Shi Tianyu really coming, but he was frightened to death. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and said tremblingly: "Master Shi, I'm sorry. I drank too much and talked nonsense. I apologize to you."

Jinshi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to please Shi Tianyu, and said, "Master Shi, come here early in the morning, do you also want to have some fun?" I really don't know whether to live or die, and at this time, I still don't understand what Shi Tianyu is here for.

~~
Wu Dejin and Wang Sen's eyes were full of fear, and they both thought to themselves: Shi Tianyu is Gu Xiang's iron-fisted county magistrate. If he falls into his hands, it will not end well, and his backstage is not Dai Kun and Lu Yuan. ! Something bad happened! Grandma, you are so unlucky today!

~~
Shi Tianyu shouted angrily: "Come here, take off the clothes of these bastards and these women. I am doing errands in the lobby on the first floor of Shengge Building today." After saying a few words, he turned around and left with his hands behind his back.

When Xiang Zhong saw his face, he took advantage of Xiang Laixiang's support and yelled: "A dog named Shi!"

Before he could finish his words, Tang Guan held him down with one hand.

The detectives swarmed up, each holding Jin Shi and others down, taking off their clothes, dragging Jin Shi and others down the stairs like dead dogs, and throwing them in front of Shi Tianyu who was sitting in the hall on the first floor.

~~
Shi Tianyu chuckled and said to Chen Biao: "Chen Biao, you ride on horseback to order Zhu Zhubo and the others to come to the Shengge Tower to run errands and mobilize the villagers to watch the show. Aren't there a hundred thousand people participating in the renovation of the old city? Now is the time It’s still early, the construction hasn’t started yet, we’ll mobilize more people to come and watch the show, and we’ll pay them later.”

Chen Biao understood and hurriedly turned around and left.

"Everyone stand still!"

At this time, other detectives followed Shi Tianyu's instructions and escorted more than 20 girls, all naked, downstairs.

~~
Shi Tianyu said to the girls: "Okay, you all take five steps back and don't block the shy look I'm looking at."

He waved his hand and asked the girls to retreat behind Xiang Zhongren who was kneeling on the ground.

Xiangzhong's acupuncture point was tapped and he couldn't get up. He knelt on the ground and cursed loudly: "Shi Tianyu, you are a piece of shit. This is a normal business with a license, Xiang. You have no right to investigate and deal with it."

Qian Youyu also knelt on the ground and yelled at Shi Tianyu: "Guan Guan, you bully the people, please ask the high court lawyer to sue you!"

Jiang Zaixing covered his lower body and screamed "Ouch! Oops" in pain.

~~
Jinshi, Wu Dejin, and Wang Sen were stripped of their clothes and knelt on the ground, but they did not dare to say anything.

For fear of ending up like Han Jin and Wang Cai.

Shi Tianyu was very angry, but he was not in a hurry to execute these people, so he shouted to the shopkeeper Xu Niang, who was also naked: "Shopkeeper, please bring two jars of medicinal wine and a few large bowls."

Several detectives immediately ordered the winking lady shopkeeper to get the medicinal wine.

A group of detectives looked at the many naked Ji Nu and swallowed their saliva. At this time, seeing that Shi Tianyu looked strange, they all quickly stretched out their hands to hold down their pants.

~~
After a while, shopkeeper Xu Niang came to Shi Tianyu with a medicine sprinkler and a big bowl.

Xiang Zhong and Qian Youyu were still kneeling on the ground and yelling at Shi Tianyu.

Shi Tianyu pointed at Xiang Zhong and asked Tang Guan: "How many words has this bastard slandered me?"

Tang Guan understood, picked out a number at random, bowed and said, "Master Shi, this bastard scolded you fifty times."

~~
Shi Tianyu immediately said: "Well, if Xiang Zhong, a bastard, scolds me, I will reward him with a bowl of medicinal wine. Come, give Xiang Zhong fifty bowls of wine." Two detectives stepped forward and one of them squeezed the wine. Open Xiang Zhong's mouth, and one person pinches Xiang Zhong's nose.

The other two detectives immediately poured wine into Zhong's mouth.

Qian Youyu was so frightened that he quickly shut up and broke out in cold sweat. ~~
"Grrrrrr!"

Xiangzhong's nose was pinched and he could only open his mouth to drink.

"One bowl, two bowls, three bowls, four bowls..."

Tang Guan twirled his hands and counted.

Shi Tianyu looked at Tang Guan and said when he counted twenty bowls, "Okay, let's watch Xiang Zhong act and unlock his acupuncture points."

After that, he sat on the chair again.

~~
Tang Guan stepped forward and untied Xiang's acupuncture points.

Twenty bowls of medicated wine were poured into him, his face turned the color of pig liver, and he was confused.

At this time, the acupuncture points were unlocked and he got up, stumbling around and scratching here and there.

I really want to drag a girl to drain the flood, but it is so uncomfortable.

No matter how many there are, don’t be shy anymore, as long as you can find a hole to drill through.

~~
The girls hurriedly dodged here and there, jumping from north to south.

"Hahahaha!"

The police officers and the group of common people who had just been led by Chen Biao burst out laughing when they saw this.

Some people even clapped vigorously.

~~
Xiang Zhong was already unconscious and hazy at this time. Where could he feel any shame?

Just before he caught a female prostitute.

~~
With quick eyes and quick hands, Chen Biao pulled the girl away.

Xiangzhong threw himself on a "wealth" tree behind the girl.

"Crack!"

The thing in the middle broke.

"Ouch!" Xiang Zhong screamed and fell to the ground.

~~
"Hahahaha!"

Countless people and government officials laughed.

Some people laughed and covered their stomachs.

Some people fell down laughing.

Some people laughed until they cried.

No one helped Xiang Zhong, letting him kneel on the ground and wail.

~~
Seeing that the time had come, Shi Tianyu ordered Zhang Ming to report the amount of tax evasion to Xiangzhong in front of countless people, and said: "Zhang Ming, please think about the amount of tax evasion to Xiangzhong in ten years."

Zhang Ming counted according to the account book, crossed his fingers and said: "Xiang Zhong has been running the Shengge Tower in Guxiang County for ten years. In terms of tax, he has to pay 1,700 taels of silver in taxes every year. However, he has been unable to do so because of his backing. He paid taxes and injured the tax collectors in return. In ten years, he evaded taxes totaling 17,000 taels of silver."

~~
"Wow! This damn turtle uses a woman's body as capital to make money and evade taxes. It's so shameful!"

"I didn't expect Xiang Zhong to be so mean!"

"Kill this dead turtle."

When the people watching heard this, they cursed Xiang Zhong angrily.

Many people came forward and spat at Xiang Zhong.

~~
When Shi Tianyu saw that the play was almost over, he stood up and said loudly: "Xiang Zhong has been evading taxes for more than ten years and trampling on women in the street. He has committed a heinous crime. Come, put him in jail, seal up and auction the Shengge Tower, and confiscate all his property." Taxes. All the income from the Shengge House tonight will be distributed to the female shopkeeper and her sisters. In addition, the major inns will be notified to take these sisters as waiters and arrange a job for them so that they can have a meal. Eat, and find a man to marry later."

Immediately ordered the police to seal up the Shengge Tower.

~~
The shopkeeper of Xu Niang quickly led a group of girls to kneel down and thank Shi Tianyu.

I didn't expect that there would be such a good ending. Everyone was extremely excited, with tears in their eyes. They thanked Shi Tianyuqian and expressed their gratitude.

Shi Tianyu waved his hand and told them to get up and quickly go upstairs to get dressed.

~~
Tang Guan was smart and immediately ordered Zhang Ming to continue filing taxes and said: "Zhang Ming, how much tax have Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu evaded? Read it to Mr. Shi quickly!" Jiang Zaixing felt a little more comfortable at this time and hurriedly explained and stood up. He continued to cover his body with his hands, bowed and said to Shi Tianyu: "Sir, the taxes for the two of us were set by the county magistrate Han Jin and the Lord Bo Wangcai during their lifetimes. There is no tax evasion!"

~~
Shi Tianyu turned around to face countless people and asked with a smile: "Jiang Zai is engaged in so many industries and only pays 10 taels of tax every year. Fellow villagers, do you think this is fair?"

A group of common people said in unison: "Unfair!"

After Jiang Zaixing heard this, he broke into a cold sweat and said hurriedly: "Master Shi, that was decided by Han County Cheng. This villain really did not evade taxes!" Shi Tianyu turned around and said coldly to Jiang Zaixing: " Shopkeeper Jiang, do you want to confront Han Jin with Prince Yama?"

~~
Tang Guan cleverly echoed and said loudly: "Otherwise, let Jiang Zaixing drink medicinal wine. Drinking three bowls of medicinal wine can offset one year's tax. Jiang Zaixing has evaded taxes for ten years and only needs to drink thirty bowls of medicinal wine. From now on, Let’s call him Three Bowls of Water, OK?”

"it is good!"

The common people found it very enjoyable and clapped their hands loudly and applauded in unison.

~~
Jiang Zaixing was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly agreed to pay the tax. He knelt in front of Shi Tianyu and said, "Master Shi, please forgive me. I just have to pay the tax." Zhu Xiang said to Qian Youyu, "Where is the shopkeeper Qian?"

How can you dare to fight if you have more money? He quickly said in a trembling voice: "The villain also pays taxes."

Shi Tianyu turned to Zhang Ming and said, "Okay, Zhang Ming, how much tax do you think the two of them have to pay?"

~~
Zhang Ming took out his account book and said: "Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu have been doing business in Guxiang for ten years. Jiang Zaixing opened three tea houses and a bank in the city. According to the tax amount, he has to pay taxes every year. One thousand five hundred taels of silver. Qian Yuyu owns two gold shops, one Jiyuan, and five salt shops. According to the tax amount, he should pay a total of 5,000 taels of silver a year for a total of ten years. The tax amount is sixty-five thousand taels.”

~~
"Wow! These two damn turtles have evaded so much tax and can be sentenced to death."

Suddenly, people started talking again.

"Master Shi, please spare your life!" After hearing this, Qian Youyu and Jiang Zaixing were so frightened that they kowtowed repeatedly, causing blood to bleed from their foreheads.

Shi Tianyu turned sideways and pretended to ask Zhu Xiang: "Zhu Zhubo, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it seems that you can exchange money for your life?"

Zhu Xiang understood, nodded repeatedly, and said, "Yes! Mr. Shi is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. It seems that paying 10,000 taels of silver can redeem one's life!"

~~
Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu kowtowed and said:
"Sir, I am willing to pay an extra ten thousand taels of silver."

"Sir, I am also willing to pay an extra ten thousand taels of silver."

~~
At this time, the shopkeeper Xu Niang led a group of girls downstairs.

They are all dressed, carrying packages, and looking for other things to do.

When Shi Tianyu saw the shopkeeper Xu Niang coming, he said to Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu: "You don't need to kowtow, just write a note and give it to Chen Captou and Zhang Ming to withdraw the money. The money you need to save your life is included. For the interest, each of them must pay an additional 20,000 taels of silver. Among them, 500 taels of silver will be given to these girls, so that each of the more than 20 girls and the shopkeeper will have dozens of taels of silver to keep with them. A thousand taels of silver were deducted and distributed to the fellow villagers in front of me, and the rest was kept in the county government treasury, under the personal control of Zhu Zhubo. "

~~
"Thank you Master Shi!"

Shopkeeper Xu Niang and dozens of girls knelt in front of Shi Tianyu and expressed their gratitude.

Everyone had tears in their eyes.

Some girls cried loudly.

Shopkeeper Xu Niang stood up, raised her sleeves, wiped away her tears, ran upstairs, fetched paper, pen and ink, and handed them to Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu.

The people immediately shouted: "Master Shi, you are really the master of Qingtian!"

Just because you come and watch, you can get money, how great it is!

Chen Biao took the note from Qian Youyu and Jiang Zaixing, took a look at it, and led Zhang Ming and others to collect the money from the houses of Qian Youyu and Jiang Zaixing.

~~
Shi Tianyu said: "Come here, bring the clothes of Mr. Jiang and Mr. Qian. Today the county government invites the two old men to drink."

After that, he helped Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu up with his own hands, and ordered the government servants to get their clothes.

Jiang Zaixing and Qian Youyu were so ashamed that they took their clothes and ran upstairs to get dressed naked.

Jinshi, Wu Dejin, and Wang Sen also stood up.

Shi Tianyu shouted at Huang Jinshi and others: "Who told you to get up?"

~~
During the golden hour, the three of them quickly knelt down again.

At this time, Song Ziqing, Pan Dong and Su Xing came over.

Su Xing bowed and said to Shi Tianyu: "Sir, we have found out."

Shi Tianyu said: "Read it. My fellow villagers are here!"

~~
Su Xing then read loudly: "After investigation, since he was the ambassador of the Taxation Department during the golden period, he embezzled eight thousand taels of tax money, squandered three thousand taels of public funds by eating and drinking, and committed a capital crime. Wu Dejin misappropriated three thousand taels of tax money. Two, luxurious decoration of his own house constitutes a capital crime. Wang Sen raised seven women outside, and all the money used was paid by the tea inspection office, which is also a capital crime. "

This time, Su Xingzhong's energy was very abundant, and he was so majestic for the first time in his life.

~~
After hearing this, the common people were filled with indignation and shouted loudly: "Wow! It turns out that all the hard-earned money of our common people has been embezzled by these corrupt officials. Mr. Shi, execute them."

~~
Jinshi kept kowtowing and said in a trembling voice: "Master Shi, please spare my life!"

Wu Dejin said: "Master Shi, menial positions are appointed and dismissed by the superiors. You have no right to punish them."

Suddenly he stood up and wanted to run naked.

Tang Guan swung his body and blocked Wu Dejin's throat with his five fingers like hooks, and swept his legs across.

Wu Dejin said "Oh" and fell to his knees.

~~
Shi Tianyu shouted angrily: "Come here, the dirty officials will be tortured for fifty cents."

Song Ziqing held Wu Dejin down.

Pan Dong raised the torture stick.

~~
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Sen took the opportunity to seize the loopholes in Shi Tianyu's official duties, and roared at Shi Tianyu: "A dog thief, the punishment is fifty sticks, and you must report it to the prefect. You are abusing the punishment. I will go to Fucheng Prefecture." Go sue you."

He turned around and was about to slip away, but was blocked by a group of people.

Wang Sen is squeezing to the east like a human wall, and rushing to the west is like a police officer. How can he escape?

~~
Shi Tianyu had an idea, laughed loudly, and said: "Then let's beat Wang Sen with the cane first and give him forty-nine sticks. Then we don't have to report him." Hearing this, Pan Dong kicked Wang Sen in the chest and kicked him down. On the ground.

Song Ziqing kicked Wang Sen over again.

~~
Pan Dong took the torture stick and beat Wang Sen hard on the back.

"oops!"

Wang Sen screamed repeatedly.

"Hahahaha!"

When the people saw it, they all laughed, and some even clapped their hands vigorously.

"one two Three……"

Tang Guan counted five sticks.

"Hahahaha!"

The people burst out laughing again.

~~
Some people saw that Shi Tianyu was so fair and dared to fight these vertically managed tax collectors, so they followed Tang Guan's lead.

"Oh!"

How could Wang Sen withstand Pan Dong's severe beating? When Tang Guan counted to ten, Wang Sen screamed miserably and fainted.

Tang Guan counted to ten. In fact, Pan Dong had already beaten Wang Sen fifty times.

Because it is counted once by pressing five sticks.

~~
"Sir, please spare my life!"

Wu Dejin and Huang Jinshi were so frightened that they couldn't help but kowtow, and there was blood on their foreheads.

Shi Tianyu smiled and said: "Okay, get up."

Huang Jinshi and Wu Dejin stood up quickly as if they had been pardoned.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Shi Tianyu ordered the pen and ink waiter and said to Wu Dejin and Huang Jinshi: "Okay, I can spare you your life. You will take the initiative to write a letter of resignation to me and pay back all the taxes and money embezzled by you, plus interest." Three thousand taels of silver, in four copies.”

~~
How dare Huang Jinshi and Wu Dejin disobey their words?

He lay on the ground obediently and wrote his resignation letter.

~~
Later, Shi Tianyu took the resignation letters from Jinshi and Wu Dejin, looked at them carefully, and shouted: "Come here, let Wang Sen sign and sign it!" Song Ziqing pulled Wang Sen, who was unconscious on the ground, and He opened Wang Sen's right thumb and pressed it with blood on the confession drafted by Su Xing.

~~
Shi Tianyu shouted again: "Come here, take Wang Sen into prison and put him in a dungeon. Tang Guan will lead people to search all the properties of Huang Jinshi, Wudejin and Wang Sen and confiscate them."

After saying that, he turned around and left. Without taking two steps, he turned around and ordered Zhu Xiang, saying: "Zhu Xiang, according to the list of merchants who did not pay enough taxes provided by Zhang Ming, organize them to go to the county government dungeon to meet with Wang Sen and Xiang Zhong. Drink and chat.”

~~
The sun rises in the east and the sun shines.

The street became lively and the sound of hawking became loud.

Shi Tianyu said nothing and went back to the county government office.

A group of villagers took the money distributed by the county government agents and servants and hurried to build new houses in the old city.

~~
Zhang Hui chased Shi Tianyu back to the county government hall and said to Shi Tianyu, "Sir, are you too cruel?"

Shi Tianyu smiled and said: "We can't cure them with legitimate methods. Let's make breakfast, I'm hungry."

Zhang Hui thought so and turned around and left.

Yue'er and Helan Minyue came back tired and wanted to make tea for Shi Tianyu again.

Shi Tianyu said lovingly: "Go to bed first, I won't drink tea."

Yue'er and Helan Minyue skipped across the court and ran back to the Shifu behind to sleep.

~~
"Sir, please forgive me! I am willing to pay back my taxes."

At this time, Zhu Xiang came in with a group of "tax arrears".

As soon as they arrived at the court, they all knelt on the ground and begged Shi Tianyu for mercy.

The news that Wang Sen and Xiang Zhong were imprisoned, and that Huang Jinshi and Wu Dejin had resigned voluntarily made these merchants who owed taxes have no choice but to accept Shi Tianyu, and they came to pay the taxes with their money.

~~
Shi Tianyu said: "Okay, you all give all the tax money that should be paid to Zhu Zhubo. Whoever wants to escape will be punished by the whole family after being caught."

Then he turned to Zhu Xiang and said: "Zhu Zhubo, I have ordered you to close the city gate for two days. The city gate will not be opened until the tax money is replenished. You put up a notice saying that thieves are being arrested in the city, and entry and exit are temporarily prohibited for two days." "

~~
"No!" Zhu Xiang bowed and left in response.

In two days, in addition to collecting a year's tax money, there was also an extra 70,000 taels of silver.

The sun is shining and the breeze is refreshing.

Looking at the boxes of silver covered with seals in the court hall, Zhu Xiang, Chen Biao, Zhang Ming and others gathered around Shi Tianyu and asked: "Sir, what should I do with the extra money?"

~~
Shi Tianyu did not answer, but turned sideways and said to Zhang Ming: "Resign at the golden time, Zhang Ming, you can temporarily act as the ambassador of the Taxation Department. You will officially take up the post after the application is approved. Be honest in the future. Otherwise, their today will be your tomorrow." ”
