Northern Song Dynasty Justice

Chapter 435 Tax War (9)

Chapter 435 Tax War ([-])

In just one day, this overwhelming public opinion swept the entire Kaifeng Mansion.

Its fermentation speed is also jaw-dropping.

But it really doesn't mean that someone is promoting this public opinion behind the scenes, at best, it is only fueling the flames.

Because the tax department's action was too fast, although it won the lawsuit last time, it also caused controversy, but in the past few days, the tax department launched a similar operation, and it was more serious than last time, and injured Many servants.

The key point is that the tax department said loudly last time that his deployment is very meticulous, in order not to harm the people as much as possible.

The result was immediately slapped in the face.

Although the tax department also clarified that it was the domestic servants who did it first.

But the servants of the Liu family accused the tax police of beating them.

Comparing the two, it was obvious that the tax police were stronger, and they also came to the door on their own initiative.

The key point is that Liu Ping is indeed not at home, but came to the city to discuss with Li Guozhong about paying taxes.

As a domestic servant, it is reasonable to have concerns.

In addition, on weekdays, Liu Ping was pretty good to the villagers, had done some good deeds, and had a good reputation in Xiangfu County, which was different from Qin Biao.

In addition, the people don't trust the government very much, and everyone trusts the confessions of those servants even more.

Moreover, the actions of the Taxation Department also gave everyone the impression of "intensifying".

Some people even thought that it was the imperial court's judgment that made the tax police unscrupulous.

We must know that many ordinary people have falsely reported some income more or less, and some of them, like Liu Ping, are trying their best to make up for it. Therefore, this move by the tax department makes them feel scared.

For all these reasons, the voice against the tax department is growing louder.

Not to mention Chaozhong, the roof was scolded directly.

Including the imperial court and the procuratorate are also under a lot of pressure.

Especially Xu Zun, because his relationship with Zhang Fei is too close, and Zhang Fei is now employed by the tax department, he took the initiative to ask for leave and go home, and the procuratorate handed over all to Su Zhe.

Wangfu.

"Alas, being with this group of insects, An Neng can govern the country well."

Wang Anshi, who has always been fearless, suddenly felt a little depressed at this moment.

He knew that this was a trap aimed at the tax department, but in his view, it was obvious that you falsely reported your income first, but you were not guilty at all, and deliberately used this tax evasion to lure the tax department to come to your door.

This is outrageous.

Then one can imagine what he will face in the future.

Lu Huiqing didn't feel depressed, this is something that can be encountered, said: "Men, if necessary, we have to help the tax department, if they win this time, it will definitely make them very united, and then they will be very united." That's what it did to us."

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "What do you think?"

Lu Huiqing said: "At present, the tax department and the Liu family are holding their own opinions, but I believe that Zhang San will not be defeated so easily. Not enough, we also have to prevent Bachelor Sima from fighting back. They are I am most afraid of this kind of thing. I am worried that they will not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion, and in order to seek stability, they may side with the Liu family.

If this is the case, we must support the tax department, otherwise, we will be completely suppressed by them. "

Wang Anshi hummed: "What you are worried about may indeed happen. I know the characters of Sima Junshi and Wen Gong very well. They may indeed be shaken by it. But the current situation is not out of control. We have to prepare in secret. If we don’t move, we can’t act rashly, if we support the tax department first, it may make us very passive, which further proves that the tax department may have a guilty conscience.”

Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "I see."

Wang Anshi sighed: "It's just that they have been attacking the tax department like this, and Zhang San may not be able to withstand it."

The reason why he is frustrated is not that he thinks that Zhang San has lost, but that in this situation, he can't see hope, and the other party keeps fighting with you, how can the tax department survive.

And Lu Huiqing's guess is very accurate. After this incident broke out, the conservatives frantically put pressure on Sima Guang and the others. You are not easy to talk about Qin Biao, so we don't care about it. Now that this matter, don't you come out? sound?

This really made Sima Guang and the others very embarrassed.

political affairs hall.

"What I was worried about happened in the end."

Wen Yanbo sighed: "The tax department wants to raise those taxes by doing this. It is simply whimsical. In my opinion, this will only arouse more fierce resistance."

Sima Guang also shook his head: "At first, I thought Wang Jiefu was radical enough, but I never thought that Zhang San was even more radical, even if his original intention was right, but things can't be done like this, if things continue like this, there will be no peace in this country. "

Wen Yanbo suddenly looked at Fu Bi who had been silent all this time, and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Fu?"

Sima Guang also looked at Fu Bi.

The meaning is very obvious, whether to take action to end this turmoil.

So far, the emperor and the political adviser are still watching the fire from the other side, and they have not ended in person, which is why the judiciary is playing a huge role.

Both parties are relying on judicial means to carry out the game.

Fu Bi thought for a while, "Just wait and see."

Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo looked at Fu Bi suspiciously.

Fu Bi said: "If you put pressure on the tax department, Wang Jiefu will definitely take action, and things may get worse. The situation is not out of control yet, and the imperial court and the procuratorate are still in control of the situation."

Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo glanced at each other.

Yes!

Wang Anshi was almost ignored.

If they want to make a move, Wang Anshi will definitely make a move. Regardless of whether Wang Anshi supports the tax department or not, it is impossible for the conservatives to win this victory, and party disputes will immediately erupt.

There is no sound from above, and the pressure is all concentrated on this group of judicial upstarts.

I really complied with that sentence, when heaven will send a great mission to people, they must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their skin, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions, so they move their hearts and forbearance, Zeng Yi It can't.

The public security law has just been activated, but the journey has been bumpy.

If the Public Security Bureau can pass this hurdle, it will really stand up. If it can't, it will become a joke.

The Liu family must sue the tax department for abusing its power and harming innocent people.

At the same time, both the DPRK and China and the people are putting pressure on the procuratorate.

Liu Ping falsely reported property, you can punish him, but the servants are innocent, how can this be done with such violence from the tax department?

What kind of benevolent government is this? This is simply tyranny.

The procuratorate is under great pressure. Su Zhe has repeatedly sent people to investigate, but there is really no evidence to prove that it was the servants who first acted and provoked the tax police.

On the other hand, the tax department is very strong.

Zuo Ting.

"At present, the two sides are sticking to their own opinions. There is no evidence to prove that the tax police first acted. However, the evidence is so strong that Liu Ping falsely reported property. In this case, instead of prosecuting Liu Ping, the procuratorate will sue the tax department. It's just beyond comprehension."

Zhang Fei said excitedly.

Su Zhe immediately retorted: "We will definitely sue Liu Ping, but one matter is the other. Shouldn't your tax department reflect on it?"

Zhang Fei said: "What are you reflecting on? Should you go after those legal taxes?"

Su Zhe said: "But do we have to use such a radical method? The owner of the other party is not at home, and those servants dare not make decisions without authorization. This is understandable. Shouldn't you consider their situation?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "They didn't even explain that Liu Ping was not at home. This is a trap."

Su Zhe said: "If the tax department's deployment is as meticulous as the tax department said, even if it is a trap, you will not be easily fooled. There is no evidence to prove that it was the servants who started it first, but the fact is that Five domestic servants were injured to varying degrees.

After all, it was your tax police who came to the door on your own initiative, and then you said that the servants provoked you, would anyone believe this? "

Zhang Fei said with a smile: "Your procuratorate looks at the evidence instead of relying on endless speculation. Now you lack evidence to sue the tax department."

Su Zhe said: "If you can't produce evidence that they were the first to do it, then we can sue the tax department. The five injured are still lying down."

"Whether it is possible to sue, shouldn't it be up to the president of the judge?"

Lu Jiawen, who was sitting in the middle, said rather dissatisfied.

Su Zhe asked, "I don't know what Judge Lu thinks?"

Lu Jiawen thought for a moment, and said: "At present, you both hold your own opinions, and it is really difficult to make a conclusion. Therefore, the chief judge will give you seven more days to find as much evidence as possible. If you can't find it, this court will accept the prosecution from the procuratorate. .”

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Fei, "Nowadays, there is a lot of public opinion outside, and your tax department must also explain these issues to everyone, so as to reduce everyone's fear of the tax department. If you continue to make trouble like this, everyone will feel very uncomfortable."

Zhang Fei said: "The Taxation Department has already announced the code of conduct. If you cooperate, you must cooperate. If the servants cooperate, this kind of thing will not happen."

Su Zhe said: "There is a problem with your regulations. Household servants do not have the right to be masters. Their duty is to protect the property of the master."

Zhang Fei said: "Before the judiciary, everyone is treated equally. No matter who they are, it is impossible for our tax department to back down half a step."

Su Zhe said: "Although you are very good at fighting lawsuits, you can't always win. If your tax department doesn't make changes, this kind of thing will keep happening."

In fact, he knew in his heart that this might be a trap. He had been investigating the evidence, but unfortunately he found nothing. Facing the pressure of public opinion, the procuratorate had to take action, at least to fight for a trial to clear the case. The matter is clear, as for how to judge, that is the matter of the imperial court.

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Then let's wait and see."

At this moment, a judicial official quickly entered the house and handed a newspaper to Lu Jiawen.

When Lu Jia asked to read it, he was shocked at first, and after a while, he handed the newspaper to Su Zhe, and said rather dissatisfied: "It seems that your procuratorate's investigation is not detailed enough."

Su Zhe took a look, and everyone was stunned.

Zhang Fei asked in confusion, "What's the situation?"

Lu Jia asked and examined Zhang Fei, "You don't know?"

Zhang Fei shook his head and asked again: "Is it related to me?"

Su Zhe showed doubts on his face, and said, "Feng Yue Bao just disclosed the details of the whole case, and explained that they sent people to ambush near Liu's house and witnessed the whole incident."

Zhang Fei was surprised: "This is impossible. How could their Fengyue Bao know about the actions of the tax department?"

Su Zhe said: "They didn't explain it, but Fengyue Bao also pointed out that there were two royal policemen who followed the tax police all the time, and they should have witnessed the whole incident."

"what?"

Everyone in Zhang Fei was stupid.

Does he really not know.With doubts, Su Zhe handed the newspaper to Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei took it and looked at it immediately.

Su Zhe stood up and said, "Mr. Lu, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Lu Jiawen said old-fashionedly: "Your procuratorate also has to reflect on it."

"Yes."

Su Zhe nodded and left immediately.

After Zhang Fei saw it, he also hurriedly got up and said, "I have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

As soon as I went out, I heard someone shouting: "Zhang Sanlang, what a coincidence!"

Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "It turns out Brother Bao."

It was Li Bao who came.

Zhang Fei said again in a low voice: "How could Fengyue Bao participate in it?"

Li Bao said: "We only confirmed that there were two royal policemen following, but we don't know why Fengyuebao was involved."

Zhang Fei said: "Is someone bought off?"

Li Bao shook his head and said: "It's not very likely. What I know so far is that the three traitors in the tax department are all from Cao Ya'nei, and Cao Ya'nei is the only outsider who knows about our operation. The relationship between Mr. Fu, you see.!"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Cao Dongdong must have informed Fu Shichun, otherwise, Fu Shichun would not have known that there would be two royal policemen following him."

Li Bao said: "But it is a good thing for us."

Zhang Fei said: "But I was supposed to turn the tide in court, but in the end, the Fengyue News took all the limelight. If he did this, I... my news would be suppressed by it. Last time I played mahjong with that Fu Shichun, He always cuts off beards, so we have to guard against this kid from now on."

Li Bao said hehe: "There is nothing I can do to help."

Zhang Fei said: "It's really shameful that you didn't find out."

Li Bao said: "They should have ambushed in advance, it is very difficult for us to find out."
