Chapter 483 Negotiation (please subscribe!)
When she heard that she didn't have to marry Kang Wang's son, Wang Yunshi suddenly relaxed a lot, but her happiness didn't last long, because she thought that when the homeless people came, things would get worse and Wang Chengen's official position would be lost!

So he asked with some concern: "Father, if the homeless tide arrives, why don't you—"

"Don't worry about Yunshi, father has figured it out, even if he doesn't take this official position, he will never let my daughter marry the son of that kind of person!"

Seeing the angry look on Wang Chengen's face when he spoke, it can be seen that he was completely chilled by King Kang this time, and then said: "Besides, this matter has not reached the point of irreversibility, has it, Mr. Zhang?"

When he said the last sentence, he deliberately turned his head to face Zhang Twelve.

On the way to the backyard, he figured it out a bit.

This man named Zhang Sanshu suddenly appeared at their home, and the timing was just right, which prevented Wang Yunshi from marrying into Kang Wang's mansion by mistake. If it was a coincidence, he wouldn't believe it!

In his opinion, this man is here to help him. As for why he wants to help himself, he doesn't know...

So, he decided to ask the previous question first.

Zhang Twelve nodded with a smile, but did not answer.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen also smiled back, looked sideways at Wang Ba and said, "Ba'er, go tell those servants to take off all the lanterns and colored papers that were hung before!"

Wang Ba is a heartless person with a low IQ. Hearing Wang Chengen's confession, he didn't think much at all, and ran to the front yard in a panic, feeling very happy: Dad treats me very well now. Take it seriously!Trust me to do such an important thing...

And Wang Yunshi took the initiative to say to Wang Chengen at this time: "Father, my daughter also goes to the front hall to see if there is any need for help, so I will leave first!"

As he spoke, he bowed to Wang Chengen and Zhang Twelve, and left slowly.

Before leaving, he gave Zhang Twelve a meaningful look, which made Zhang Twelve confused.

Wang Chengen looked at Wang Yunshi's back and felt very relieved, like Wang Ba, he would not leave unless he reminded her, and Wang Yunshi was reasonable and knew right from wrong, it would be great if she was her son!
…………

As soon as Wang Yunshi left, only Zhang Twelve and Wang Chengen were left in the back garden.

Wang Chengen looked at Zhang Twelve, and said seriously: "Just now, Mr. Wang was very inconsiderate of Mr. Zhang, and he hoped Mr. Zhang would be tolerant!"

Zhang Twelve didn't care, and said with a smile, "Prefect Wang is too polite. If it were someone else, he might have kicked out this subordinate long ago! It's a matter of future, and there is nothing wrong with Prefect Wang not to trust strangers casually." !"

These words gave Wang Chengen a step down, and his expression eased a lot, and then he said: "Seeing that what Mr. Zhang said before has been fulfilled, you must have your own views on how to solve this matter! Wang I sincerely hope Mr. Zhang can give Wang some advice!"

Wang Chengen said it seriously, so Zhang Twelve naturally didn't hold back any more, and started talking directly.

What Zhang Twelve said basically started from someone. When Zhang Twelve said that he knew the leaders of those refugees, Wang Chengen was stunned!

In his eyes, those homeless people are now a serious disaster for him. It is no exaggeration to say that they are enemies, but the man in front of him who asked for help turned out to be the brother of the leader of the enemy...

This... is a bit of a fuck!

Wang Chengen suppressed the excitement in his heart, tried his best to keep calm and said: "Master Zhang, your eldest brother is the leader of the homeless people, so you still come to help me, what does this mean?"

Zhang Twelve chuckled and said, "Prefect Wang, just listen to me tell you the story!"

So Zhang Twelve told how Zhao Baiyu instigated a certain person to launch a wave of refugees, and the ultimate goal was to get him to step down, but a certain person didn't want to do that now, so he sent Zhang Twelve to report to Wang Chengen !
When he heard that Zhao Baiyu was indeed instigating those homeless people, Wang Cheng clenched his fists angrily, wishing he could go to Zhaojia Liangzhuang to scold Zhao Baiyu immediately, as if he had no other better way than this.

However, there is no basis for empty talk now, so how can Zhao Baiyu admit it?

So Wang Chengen said again: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know why your elder brother is helping Wang?"

Zhang Twelve also said sternly: "Prefect Wang, although my eldest brother is illiterate and a rough man, he also knows that what he is doing now is against the laws of the Tang Dynasty! Besides, the people in the south are living in dire straits. It was caused by the price increase of the four major grain farms headed by the Zhao family grain farm! But my elder brother is working for such a person, I feel ashamed!"

After a pause, he continued: "That's why my eldest brother decided not to join forces with such unscrupulous traders again, and chose to tell the Wang Zhifu about this, and wait for the Wang Zhifu to make a decision!"

After listening to what Zhang Twelve said, Wang Chengen suddenly gained confidence!
Although there is not enough evidence to prove the relationship between Zhao Baiyu and the homeless tide, what is certain is that there is no need to worry about the homeless tide, and the follow-up matters can be dealt with slowly!

So he said to Zhang Twelve: "Thank you Mr. Zhang and your elder brother! Wang promises that if Mr. Zhang's elder brother wants to find an official position in the magistrate, Wang will never refuse!"

Because what Zhang Twelve said just now meant that his elder brother wanted to be a small official in the magistrate, so Wang Chengen immediately promised, and then said: "If Mr. Zhang goes back and tells your elder brother, will the wave of refugees Will it stop soon?"

This is what he cares most about. As long as the flow of refugees stops, the rest will be easy to talk about!
"This—impossible!"

Zhang Twelve pondered for a moment, then said firmly.

"Why not?"

Wang Chengen also looked puzzled, thinking that those refugees are all under the care of your eldest brother, so if you let him stop now, is it over?

Zhang Twelve smiled wryly and said: "At the beginning, my elder brother just took Zhao Baiyu's money and randomly found refugees, but there are more and more of these refugees, and they come from anywhere. Although they usually listen to my elder brother, but they The ultimate goal is to eat food!"

He glanced at Wang Chengen and said, "So as long as the price of food doesn't drop, even if my elder brother asks them to leave, they won't leave!"

Hearing this, Wang Chengen also frowned. He also admitted that there are too many refugees now, and they come from different places. They have all gone to Jinling. How can one sentence persuade them to leave?
Some helplessly said: "But this food price - it's not easy to drop!"

If the price of food is easy to drop, Wang Chengen will not use the method of making peace to ask Kang Wang to solve the influx of refugees!

Seeing Wang Chengen's anxious appearance, Zhang Twelve comforted him: "Don't worry, Wang Zhifu! Although the tide of refugees will not subside, my elder brother has gradually told them that the cause of this incident is Zhao Baiyu, so even if the tide of refugees Let’s face it, it’s because of Zhao Baiyu! Moreover, we also thought of a way to get Zhao Baiyu to lower the price of food!”

"any solution?"

Seeing Zhang Twelve's confident appearance, Wang Chengen was instantly infected, and asked hurriedly.

"Hehe, Zhao Baiyu's only son is in our hands now. When the time comes, tell Zhao Baiyu that if he doesn't lower the price, he will take care of his son's life!"

"........."

After Zhang Twelve said this, Wang Chengen didn't know how to answer it for a while...

This idea sounds good, but he is the magistrate!This is obviously an incident of kidnapping and extortion. If you agree, wouldn't it be a violation of the law?

"Hehe, this is an idea that my elder brother and I came up with, and it has nothing to do with the prefect Wang! Just pretend that the prefect Wang doesn't know about it!"

Seeing Wang Chengen's embarrassment, Zhang Twelve said directly, Wang Chengen's face softened a little after hearing this, and he just smiled awkwardly.

I thought I hope this method is useful!

The core of this incident is the price of food. Only when the price of food drops can this matter be completely resolved.

The two of them basically reached a consensus. If everything went according to what Zhang Twelve said, whether it was the problem of food prices or the problem of homelessness, it would be solved easily.

However, what Zhang Twelve wants to do is not only these!

"Prefect Wang, I really don't understand why Zhao Baiyu and the others want to drive you off the stage so much?"

This is what Zhang Twelve is very confused about. The increase in food prices and the flow of refugees is not a small matter, and the connection is seamless. It is indeed very labor-intensive to manipulate it artificially, and the purpose of doing so many things is only to Letting Wang Chengen step down is a bit too much...

"Hey!"

Wang Chengen sighed again and said, "To talk about this, we have to start with Wang Mou just coming to Jinling..."

So Wang Chengen started talking, and when Zhang Twelve finished listening, he instantly understood the reason.

It turned out that it was all because of taxes!
Zhang Twelve vaguely remembered that Zhao Qingfeng complained about the tax, saying that Wang Chengen collected too much tax. Now that Zhang Twelve thought about it, everything was right.

It turns out that several big grain farms headed by the Zhao family are dissatisfied that Wang Chengen is not like the original magistrate, who falsifies accounts and collects less taxes for them!
Hearing this, Zhang Twelve smiled unkindly.

Zhao Baiyu didn't violate any serious laws if it was just about raising food prices and manipulating the flow of refugees, but tax evasion is different. This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!Not to mention grabbing it, even if it was chopped off, it would not be surprising!
Zhang Twelve immediately asked: "Prefect Wang, did you keep the account books of Zhao Baiyu's tax evasion a few years ago?"

"There are all these, and they are all placed in the yamen! However, these ledgers are useless!"

It turns out that each merchant needs to prepare two copies of the account book, keep one for himself, and submit the other to the magistrate. If the time comes to pay taxes, the account in the account book shall prevail!

In the past few years, the Zhao family evaded taxes, and the books they sent to the magistrate were naturally fake books. Although a discerning person could tell at a glance that the books on these books were too fake and too low, if they said that the books were correct, yes They really can't help it.

If the books given to the magistrate are all fake, the book on Zhao Jiaming's face must be fake too, which is the same as the one sent to the magistrate!

However, the original ledger must still be there. After all, to do business, you must see the actual revenue. They are all fake accounts, so what happened?

Presumably the real ledger is still in Zhao's house, but it's just hidden!

Thinking of this, the corner of Zhang Twelve's mouth grinned coldly: as long as you are here!I can't believe I can't find it!
The Emperor Tang sent him to deal with the problem of homelessness, but if a big cancer like Zhaojia Liangzhuang is not cured, the officials and businessmen in Jinling may not be healed!

Therefore, Zhang Twelve plans to deal with it to the end and kill all these corrupt officials!
"Prefect Wang, if you believe me, then I will leave the rest to you! Since I can catch Zhao Baiyu's son, I can guarantee to get his family's account book! I just hope that since these people are right Wang Zhifu's attacks are so vicious, if they also know the law and break the law, Wang Zhifu must not be soft!"

"Certainly not!"

As soon as Zhang Twelve finished speaking, Wang Chengen couldn't help but speak.

He regretted it a long time ago. When he first came to Jinling, he wanted to avoid too much trouble with these big merchants, so even if he discovered the falsehood in the account book, he turned a blind eye and warned them that before He didn't pursue their tax evasion, after all, it was something the previous prefect did when he took office, and it had nothing to do with him.

But after he came, no one is allowed to do that again!

I thought that my actions were gentle enough, and everyone should be very grateful, but I didn't expect that they not only didn't know how to be grateful, but even worsened, so don't blame myself for being cruel!

As long as the evidence of their tax evasion can be traced, it will be their death!
Wang Chengen thought viciously.

Zhang Twelve is thinking about how to find a suitable person in the Zhao family to steal the account book. It is okay to sneak in, but the storage of that kind of account book must be extremely private, and only the core members of the Zhao family must know, so he even It's useless to go in.

Suddenly, he thought of the woman who had an affair with Zhao Baiyu that night, so he immediately asked Wang Chengen a few questions, Wang Chengen answered in a low voice, Zhang Twelve listened, and the smile on his face became even stronger!
"My lord, my lord, it's bad! King Kang and his son are here—the young master is blocking the door!"

At this time, a servant ran in panting and said out of breath.

Wang Chengen raised his eyebrows, and then sneered twice: "Hehe, he still has the face? Well, then Wang will see how shameless they really are! Go and tell Ba'er to let them enter the front hall!"

The servant listened, nodded hurriedly, and then ran out quickly. When he went out, he was still in shock: Why did the master even dare to scold King Kang?And looking at that appearance, it looks like he is scolding Kang Wang face to face...

Hey, this world is so crazy!
The servant left, Wang Chengen looked at Zhang Twelve and said, "Master Zhang, I wonder if you are interested in meeting King Kang with me?"

"Hehe, I wish I could!"

Zhang Twelve cupped his hands and smiled, and then the two said "please" to each other, and walked towards the front yard together...
