Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 181 Hot dishes are served
Su Xian said as he spoke.

Below, the common people who thought of the contents of "The Theory of Taxation of the Four Peoples" also reacted and remembered the section about wealthy households.

Yesterday, there were many rumors about Yingtian Mansion's interrogation. The government did not deliberately conceal it, and even intended to make it public.

So everyone quickly understood.

"You acted so fast and caught the dragon crossing the river now?"

"Isn't it said that the latter not only controls many restaurants, cloth shops, and even the water transportation of the Qinhuai River, which is extraordinary? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be caught so quickly, right? To be able to achieve this level, there must be a background behind it Ah, just catch it, is there something fishy about it? "

As soon as someone said this, someone immediately laughed.

"What background? You haven't understood it yet? The biggest background of the entire Ming Dynasty is right behind his back. The Gewuyuan is nominally the emperor's grandson. Are you comparing your background with him?"

"In that case, I seem to have come to my senses. I went to Yingtian Mansion to file a complaint and made the magistrate make up his mind to take action. It seems that it was the group of book boys from Gewuyuan! Hiss, it seems that Gewuyuan has never issued the "Treatise on the Taxation of the Four Peoples" 》After that, it’s just one link after another.”

"I'm not just talking about it in vain, I'm just talking about it on paper. I've been prepared for it..."

Because two figures in black armor had already come to the former and whispered something in his ear. Although they did not hear the whole content, they still heard some words such as "account book, inventory" and so on.

Lin Yide heard the words and didn't know what they meant.

"Including those who reported the case at Yingtianfu Yamen before, all come to see if they can deny the person above."

"After that, he continued to annex other industries, using all possible means, including but not limited to interrogating the government officials before me about the tragic situation of the wealthy households who were harmed!"

They walked all the way there, and not a single person resisted. The other person had long been tied to a chair, waiting for him to pick up his head.

Lin Yide reacted immediately, looked down quickly and said solemnly:

The crowd reacted one after another, secretly thinking that Su Xian would look at the three steps he took.

What he meant by what he said just now is actually very obvious.

"it's him!"

"Lin Andong, and Bai Jue, come up here and recognize me!"

However, before everyone could continue thinking, the voice below came very quickly.

"Guo Jiangjiao, whose real name is Zhang Jiangde, is from Songjiang Prefecture. He is a merchant of Ming Dynasty and one of the merchants who moved from Songjiang Prefecture before."

"it's him!"

But also a big surprise!

"Master Magistrate, why don't you introduce this river dragon?"

You know, rather than saying that he caught someone, it's better to say... Guo Jiangjiao and the others had already stayed there waiting for him to come.

Beside Su Xian, Jia Xian and Huang Ke retreated involuntarily.

Just waving his hand, the pro-military captain's mansion next to him was even ready to take action. Seeing this, Lin Yide could only become more puzzled and asked someone to take them up.

If you put on a smiling face in normal times, you will definitely arouse goodwill and goodwill from many people.

However, Su Xian seemed to be unable to understand the hint in his eyes because of his young age.

Only a childish voice was heard. Bai Jue, who was standing among the groups in Gewuyuan, walked out quickly, his clear eyes staring at a figure behind Guojiang Jiao.

"But he was a small businessman before. However, less than two years after arriving in the capital, he suddenly transformed. It seemed that he suddenly became rich and started to buy brothels. Most of the flower house industries along the Qinhuai River include part of them..."

"The water transport system that you think of is indeed in it. Many coolies from the mixed water transport system have been recruited, and these coolies have begun to act as thugs."

The latter also nodded, "Bring these people up first."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Su Xian.

Lin Yide had obviously understood something, he was shocked!
Su Xian actually wanted him to identify and even interrogate him in public?

He was shocked at the same time.

What Lin Yide said is clearly different from what was previously spread, and it is deeply rooted in the water transportation system.

However, when he arrived, he saw Su Xian and not His Highness the Crown Prince. In addition, at this moment, it was obvious that someone from the pro-military Captain's Mansion was saying something to him...

As soon as these words came out.

At this point, how could he still not understand who was behind it? Finally, he was reminded by some voices. After he immediately caught these people and sent people to stay at their mansion, he rushed towards Tianjiang Tower without stopping.

After Zhang Jiangde and his gang members came up, Su Xian looked down, as if looking for something.

"Now that it's all said and done, the place where the case should be handled is naturally at their Yingtianfu Yamen. You can't try the case here, right?"

The prefect Lin Yide was even more surprised.

While I was filled with gratitude, I also breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Su Xian, who had finished hearing the news, looked at the prefect Lin Yide.

Looking at it like this, I made the right bet this time.

Su Xian looked in the direction of his finger and immediately saw a rich-looking middle-aged man with a panicked expression, as if he hadn't reacted yet.

Lin Yide had conducted a detailed investigation on him on the way here, and now he continued to add: "He started his business in a brothel, because he relied on the Qinhuai River for food, and there was an endless stream of merchants and wealthy people. From then on, he gradually Based on this, we will continue to spread acquisitions..."

And this moment.

"That's all we can say now. As for more details, the interrogation needs to continue."

But when he was called out at this moment, he shuddered suddenly, showing that he was frightened.

"I recognize him. He was the one who came to our house. Then he told my father that he could help us, but in the end he brought someone here, said he would use us to offset the debt, and took us away..."

Bai Jue is still talking...

Lin Andong also looked at one person, "And him!"

At this time, more people came up and began to identify.

When the figures were identified, Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that I really got it right.

And next, there are more words that no longer need to be elaborated by oneself.

What needs to be said has already been said in "On Taxation of the Four Peoples", and the current situation seems to be: facts speak louder than words!
An entire afternoon passed in identification.

In the eyes of the common people, the tragic situation suffered by many wealthy households seems to have been allegorized by the article in Gewu Express.

As for the rich households, as a result, all "landowners" may be included in the list of "rich households", so that people at the grassroots level can bear local expenditures.

As for the real "rich households", they are like these river dragons, becoming bigger and stronger without having to bear...

Just thought of this.

Soon some people came to their senses and said, "There must be someone else here, and there are people from the government who haven't been found out yet!"

"Needless to say, if you can hide it and make it so big in a few years, you must have helpers..."

however.

Su Xian allowed the public to continue fermenting this speculation.

In addition to handing over Jiang Jiao, Zhang Jiangde and the others to Yingtian Mansion, they were asked to continue their investigation and try to find out who was behind it.

On the other side, Su Xian also officially asked Jiang Wei to prepare for action...

After all, the printing plate case continues!

The printing plate that was left behind now appears inexplicably in other places, so it's time to take action.

And at the same time.

opposite.

Li You and others, who had just decided how to counterattack the Gewuyuan, were looking at this scene with serious faces.

"Although I have known for a long time that before Su Xian left the main hall, he talked about the so-called official ending and official explanation." Li Wentai, the Minister of Household Affairs, spoke slowly, "But I still never imagined that this day would come like this. So fast."

"Now that the so-called Jiao crossing the river has been caught, I think it will cause a stir in the government and the public, right? Maybe it is really possible, and the Holy One will take this opportunity to correct the matter of official closure and official explanation."

While saying this, Li Wentai sounded surprised.

But from the bottom of his heart, he himself was not particularly opposed to this matter. On the contrary, he was happy to see it come to fruition.

after all.

Although he had a good background, he came from Shaanzhou. He was definitely not a scholar with a family background. He came to the Liubu Center from the prefect of Xi'an Prefecture in a serious manner.

Now as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, if the transition from Minshu Minjie to Guanshuoguanjie really takes place.

no doubt.

The Ministry of Household Affairs assumes more responsibilities. With more responsibilities, it naturally has more say.

Therefore, seeing this scene now, he could almost imagine His Majesty's anger after hearing this.

Plus... some things today were too bizarre and happened too fast.

The prefect of Yingtian Prefecture was strangely released, and strangely rushed to examine the case. He caught this so-called river-crossing dragon in one day, and brought him here without the government office.

If he hadn't thought of it, there was something fishy about it.

The official career of more than ten years has been wasted.

His Highness must have taken action from behind, but was there anyone behind His Highness? It is even said that from the time Su Xian was in the main hall, through the so-called children's riots, he was reminded time and time again of the disadvantages of civil dissolution.

From a small wealthy family, you can get a glimpse of the leopard.

Even if His Majesty said that he didn't have that intention... he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Just thought of this.

If it were before, while he was as happy to see the results as he is now, he would naturally not think too much about it.

However, "On the Taxation of the Four Peoples" had just been discussed by them.

He is not worried about His Majesty changing the People's Liberation Army to the People's Liberation Army and replacing it with the People's Liberation Army.

What he was afraid of was that if His Majesty continued, the transformation from a seemingly small branch of wealthy households would completely change the entire Ming Dynasty's tax system!
"Opening the windows for ventilation will certainly make the room brighter, but destroying the pillars of the home is absolutely unacceptable!"

I made up my mind.

Li Wentai was not prepared to get into trouble, but that was it!

It must stop here!

While he was thinking about this, other officials had already formed prototypes in their minds. At this moment, their brows were sometimes relaxed and sometimes worried.

"It seems that you all have some ideas."

At this time, Hu Weiyong spoke slowly.

"Prime Minister, the system of rich households is indeed a bit too retro. Let the people pay their own expenses to the local government. It is indeed easy to breed the risk of local expansion, and even the phenomenon of government-business negotiation." Li Wentai thought for a moment and spoke slowly.

Hu Weiyong was obviously mentally prepared.

"How can we not know the truth, but there are reasons why we decided on this policy."

"But what you are saying is true. Your Majesty will definitely change once this case comes out, but no matter how you change, you need to be in control!"

The Prime Minister's words simply spoke to everyone's hearts.

At this moment, everyone nodded and said immediately: "Yes!"

……

late at night!

Jinshen Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been watching for a day, has been sitting there since he came back.

He seemed to be deep in thought, and even the dinner that was delivered was not eaten for a while.

Zhu Biao saw this and naturally knew what his father was thinking.

He knew even better than the officials when exactly his father made the decision.

"Father, this people accept the people's liberation..."

"It's time to stop." Finally, before Zhu Biao could finish asking, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded.

He looked at Zhu Biao, and there was no need to say more.

"Su Xian has said more than once or twice before that he has already had doubts about being a father, but before that, he still needs to think twice and wait for the opportunity."

"But... now that the opportunity has arisen, let's find a chance to discuss it in front of the ministers."

Zhu Biao knew it well.

The discussion that my father mentioned seems to still have room for discussion, but in fact it is just a declaration.

However, urgent matters cannot be followed...

"Father, I'm afraid there are many ministers among the officials who want to object."

"Of course I will object." Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about this matter.

"If I don't object, it won't breed so many pests. But in this matter, it involves too much, and we can't personally govern every place in the Ming Dynasty."

"So, you still need to take your time."

"That's what I think." Zhu Biao said quickly: "Father, why don't you start the trial in Yingtian Mansion..."

"Trial trial?"

Zhu Yuanzhang knew Zhu Biao's thoughts, but he did not answer.

Instead, he asked: "Has Jiang Yu taken action?"

This case is just the beginning. In the final analysis, the printing plate case is the focus!

After the cold dishes have been served, it’s time to serve the hot dishes.

……

Jurong County.

In the unknown deep house compound.

Although the curfew has already been imposed, people here are walking around, coming and going, and they seem to be extremely busy.

And at this moment, a thin, bald old man seemed to have just returned from urinating. His eyes were staring around, not only in anticipation, but also in fear.

Some of the defense and control here, even in the military camp, are very meticulous, and some guards can be seen everywhere.

There were many guards standing in the open, but there seemed to be some eyes prying from hidden places.

But at this time, suddenly, a figure came out quickly, came to the old man, asked a few questions in a low voice, and got an answer.

He quickly waved to the side, and in an instant...

A volley of cold arrows were fired secretly, and several condors were fired overtly and covertly. At the critical moment, they didn't even have time to react and fell to the ground!
"lead the way!"

next moment.

Jiang Yu's cold and solemn voice resounded.

The bald old man shuddered and felt his heart beating wildly, but he still walked quickly forward as soon as possible!
