Chapter 510: A Model of Cheating! (Please subscribe!)
Seeing Zhang Twelve's reaction, Dong Zhaocai realized what was going on, rubbed his head, and smiled embarrassingly.

Zhang Twelve felt that he was thinking too much, and said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Dong think of looking for me today?"

Dong Zhao didn't hide anything, and said straight to the point: "I don't know what Brother Zhang told me a few days ago, can you still count?"

Zhang Twelve raised his eyebrows: "Zhang said what he said naturally, why, Mr. Dong has already got the things?"

Dong Zhao glanced at the servant standing at the door, feeling uneasy, and whispered to Zhang Twelve: "Brother Zhang, can we take a step to talk?"

Zhang Twelve also knew the importance of this matter, nodded, and followed him to a remote dead end next to him.

Dong Zhao took out a three-finger-thick account book from his pocket, handed it to Zhang Twelve and said, "Brother Zhang, take a look, is this the account book you want?"

Zhang Twelve only turned a few pages before he was sure that this was what he wanted.

And the more he scrolled down, the more pleasantly surprised he was. This account book not only recorded all the money received by the Zhao family's grain farm in the past ten years, but also included the accounts of about twenty other grain farms, large and small, in Jinling City!

Although I am curious about how Zhao Baiyu got the accounts of other grain farms, but one thing is certain, based on this account book alone, the top-ranked Da Liang Zhuang in Jinling, Zhang Twelve, will let whoever says it will fall!
Taking these ledgers and comparing them with the tax payments of these grain farms in the past ten years in the magistrate, they will definitely be put in prison!
Zhang Twelve closed the account book with a smile, nodded and said: "It is indeed this one! Mr. Dong is a good planner. I never thought that such a confidential thing could be obtained by you. Mr. Zhang admires it!"

What I think in my heart is that this is a model of strength cheating!

With such a son, Zhao Baiyu is in great misfortune!

Dong Zhao also couldn't hear the sarcasm in Zhang Twelve's words, and thought that Zhang Twelve was praising him, and said modestly: "Where is it, this little thing is very simple!"

Dong Zhao lived in Zhao's house when he was a child. At that time, he was very naughty, he wanted to touch everything, and he wanted to go in and see everywhere. The more people refused to let him, the more he wanted to see it!

As for his own life experience, it was also because he secretly caught Zhao Baiyu having sex with his mother on the bed, and slowly understood.

So when he saw Zhao Baiyu entering the study, he sneaked a look outside, and then discovered the hidden dark room in the study, and then sneaked in a few times, and he was very clear about what was in it!
It's just that he didn't think that the things inside would become bargaining chips for his future life, but in his opinion, all of this is worth it!
Zhang Twelve kept his word, took out a few banknotes from his clothes, handed them to Dong Zhao and said, "Young Master Dong, 1 taels of banknotes, please count!"

Dong Zhao didn't expect Zhang Twelve to be so bold, he took out 1 taels without blinking an eye, and it was the first time he got so many silver notes of 1 taels, his hands were shaking a little!
Hey, people are better than people, it's so pissing off!
After getting the bank note, Dong Zhao carefully wrapped it up.

"When does Mr. Dong plan to leave Jinling?"

"what?"

Dong Zhao didn't react to Zhang Twelve's sudden words. After he did, only one sentence echoed in his mind: How did he know that I was leaving Jinling?A layer of cold sweat broke out behind him, if he hadn't already got the bank ticket, he would really have thought that he was in trouble!
"Don't be nervous, I also guessed. You have offended the Zhao family by stealing the account book of the Zhao family. If you continue to stay in Jinling, I am afraid it will be wrong! So I advise Mr. Dong, it is best to plan in advance and leave Jinling for the sake of peace." wonderful!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was moved by Zhang Twelve's reminder. After thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth, as if he had made some important decision, and said to Zhang Twelve: "Brother Zhang, I still have one This thing, I have to leave Jinling anyway, so it’s useless to keep this thing, so I might as well sell it to Brother Zhang! Brother Zhang, please give me some money!”

Dong Zhao went into the dark room of Zhao Baiyu's study and found that there was a book besides the account book. He opened it and flipped through a few pages. The things recorded in it were shocking and made him feel scared.

He originally wanted to wear this thing as a talisman, but after thinking about it just now, this thing is not only useless for protection, but also a burden!
After thinking about it for a moment, I think it’s better to send it out together!

It doesn't matter if you don't give him money, after all, it's too scary to carry this thing on your body, if he can give money, no matter how much it is, it's still money!
…………

Zhang Twelve took the notebook curiously.

There is nothing on the cover of this book, and the size and thickness are not as good as that of the account book. I don't know what is in this book.

With curiosity, Zhang Twelve opened the book.

After reading the first page, his hands started shaking.

Dong Zhao next to him read it, and felt relieved, because Zhang Twelve's reaction now was exactly the same as when he first read this book, trembling with fear!

But he got it wrong, Zhang Twelve was not trembling with fear, but trembling with excitement!
Compared with the ledger, Zhang Twelve values ​​this more!
Because this book records that in the past few years, many grain farms in Jinling, including the Zhao family grain farm, have given a small part of the tax evasion money to King Kang, and a large part to the prince!
This is also the reason why Jinling has changed several prefects, and every prefect has discovered the problem of tax evasion in Liangzhuang but ignored it: dare not take care of it!

With King Kang and the crown prince on their heads, no wonder Zhao Baiyu and the others dared to be so rampant!Even Wang Chengen, the magistrate, doesn't pay attention!
Zhang Twelve is worried that the prince has behaved well recently, there is no reason to mess with him!
Now that he has this notebook, as long as he uses it a little bit, Zhang Twelve is confident that he will get the prince down!
The money that was originally handed over to the treasury and the Tang emperor ended up in the pocket of the prince. What is the nature of this?

To put it mildly, the prince was blinded by eating lard, and he was a little greedy for money—no wonder he cheated the prince a few times, and every time he had so much money, it turned out to be because of this!

On a bigger scale, why do you want so much money for a prince?Have an opinion on Emperor Tang and want to rebel?
Well, the reason for rebellion is good. Zhang Twelve has already decided that when he returns to Jingzhou, he must put this hat on the crown prince. It is best for the Tang emperor to abolish him!
The prince is too stingy, and he will take revenge. If he becomes the emperor——Zhang Twelve feels uncomfortable just thinking about it...

Just one thing, since the death of King Xiang, among the current princes, except for the crown prince, all others are minors, if the crown prince is deposed, who can take his place?And who can be the next emperor?

Suddenly, a pretty figure appeared in Zhang Twelve's mind!
Yup!

Why can't Princess Yilan?
In the era before him, there was Wu Zetian as the queen in the Tang Dynasty.

In the era he is living in now, why can't Datang make Yilan the Queen?
As soon as this idea appeared, I couldn't get rid of it. Thinking of traveling to this era, I can't become an emperor, but it is also very interesting to be able to train a female emperor with my own hands!
…………

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang..."

Seeing Zhang Twelve go from trembling to giggling alone, Dong Zhao was a little flustered, not knowing what he meant.

Could it be that he was frightened and stupid?
Zhang Twelve's thoughts were pulled back by Dong Zhao, and he said with a smile: "Young master Dong, you have given me such a good thing, you are so kind to me!"

Dong Zhao smiled awkwardly and didn't reply.

Zhang Twelve said this out of feeling, and definitely did not mean to ridicule him, but he just heard the meaning of ridicule.

Because he thought this book was a hot potato, no one dared to accept it, but he just gave it to him, of course he thought he was messing around!
If he wanted to deal with them, he might be able to just take the account book, but after seeing this book, would he still dare to deal with Zhao Baiyu?
After all, what happened to Zhao Baiyu would implicate King Kang and the prince, so who would dare to touch him?
Dong Zhao couldn't help feeling a little regretful, he wouldn't see this book, he didn't dare to mess with Zhao Baiyu, and he didn't want that book, right?

I don't think about it!

Dong Zhao firmly grasped the bank note in his clothes, the bank note has already been in his hands, no one can take it away!
He was just about to say that this book would have been given to him for free, but before he could open his mouth, he saw Zhang Twelve fumbled in his clothes for a while, then took out a few bank notes and handed them to Dong Zhao. Said: "Mr. Dong, this book, I bought it for 5000 taels, do you think it's okay?"

"........."

Happiness came so suddenly that Dong Zhao was completely dumbfounded.

Could it be that this person is a big fool? He spends so much money on such a thing that others can't avoid, don't be too stupid!
But he was not stupid, he tremblingly took the bank note from Zhang Twelve's hand, didn't even hear what he said later, and finally took the bank note and left with a smirk.

The 5000 taels of silver far exceeded his expectations. What he can expect now is to leave Jinling early...

…………

Zhang Twelve is happier now than when the food price dropped.

Just take the two things in your hand, these Liang Zhuang masters will be finished, King Kang will be finished, and the crown prince will be finished too!
Those people he didn't like, as long as he wanted to, let them die!

What could be more exciting than this?

Back in the front hall, Mrs. Wang and Wang Yunshi had finished eating and left the table. Mrs. Wang took Wang Yunshi's hand and walked out. She didn't know what to say, but before she left, Mrs. Wang was always vague and didn't know. Intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Zhang Twelve a few times, making Zhang Twelve wonder if he had been exposed...

They left, and only Zhang Twelve, Wang Chengen and his son were left in the front hall. After drinking a few more drinks with Wang Chengen and Wang Ba, Zhang Twelve asked, "Prefect Wang, do you hope that this time Is this the end of things?"

Wang Chengen was obviously taken aback, and asked, "Master Zhang, shouldn't the matter be over?"

He believed that the drop in food prices and the dispersal of the refugees was already the best outcome, and he was a little puzzled by Zhang Twelve's question.

Zhang Twelve said with a smile: "Prefect Wang, this time it's just treating the symptoms, not the root cause!"

So I analyzed it to Wang Chengen. The dissatisfaction of the owner of Jinling Liang Zhuang against him mainly came from the fact that after Wang Chengen came to power, he was different from the original magistrate. He did not turn a blind eye when collecting taxes.

As long as he still collects taxes according to the public, this group of people will still hate him. After a long time, they will naturally make trouble for him, and they will never stop until he is driven away!

After hearing this, Wang Chengen fell into deep thought.

This is a good point, the source of the matter is the tax.

In fact, when he first came to Jinling, he was very angry when he found out about this kind of thing. He wanted to arrest all these businessmen who evaded taxes, but it was Master Song who stopped him.

If he arrested the merchants in Jinling City as soon as he arrived in Jinling, he would cause public outrage, and even if he wanted to arrest him, what evidence?
In the end, he could only give up and just warn them, but the price of the warning was not small. If it weren't for Zhang Twelve, Wang Chengen would have already been game over. Even with the warning, he dared not think about anything else.

"Father, take this opportunity to punish them severely! It's a lie to say that there is no grain in stock, and that it is bought from Taizhou Liangzhuang for sale!"

Wang Ba was also dissatisfied.

Although they had won a complete victory over the food price issue this time, it was far from satisfying to Wang Ba. What he hoped was to arrest them all, to see if these Jinling people were still proud!
Wang Chengen ignored him.

What he just said is simple, but how can it be so simple to do?Everything must have evidence, without evidence, everything is in vain!
"Mr. Zhang, to be honest, Mr. Wang wanted to rectify the matter of tax evasion from the very beginning, but because there is no evidence, he can only let things go before Mr. Wang took office!"

After hearing Wang Chengen's words, Zhang Twelve smiled and said, "I just want evidence, what's so difficult about it!"

As he said, Zhang Twelve handed over the account book he bought from Dong Zhao just now, and Wang Chengen took it and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and the expression on his face was also mixed!
The good news is that this account book and the tax books in the magistrate alone are more than enough to punish these people. The worry is that there are too many Jinling businessmen involved in this account book!
If we catch them all, not to mention causing social turmoil, even prison cells are not enough!How could they shut down so many people!
Wang Chengen told Zhang Twelve about his worries, and Zhang Twelve said with a smile: "What's so difficult about it? As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public. Those grain owners who involve small amounts of money, as long as they pay the young Taxes, then forget the past! As for those big grain farms, if they also want to pay taxes to avoid prison, it is not impossible, but they must pay double the money! If they are not willing, hehe, they are worth having in Jinling Prison! "

This proposal was good, and immediately got the approval of Wang Chengen and Wang Ba.

Especially Wang Ba, finally felt a little more elated!
When the time comes, let each of them pay the money. If they pay, it's okay to say, but if they can't, they will be taken away and sent to prison-wow, it's exciting to think about it!

After drinking, Zhang Twelve discussed with Wang Chengen for a while, discussed how to proceed this time, and decided on tomorrow's action before the dinner was over.
