Protect Our Patriarch - Chapter 484

[Chapter 78 Draw from the bottom of the pot!]

…

Kangjun Wangfu.

At dusk, the sunset is brilliant.

The whole house was bathed in the orange-red sunset, as if coated with a layer of warm red light, adding a bit of magnificence and beauty.

This picture is undoubtedly very beautiful.

In normal times, King Kang might have stopped to appreciate it for a while, but today, he was not in the mood, so he just let the carriage drive into the mansion.

He was in a very bad mood right now.

After the great court meeting, he should have rushed back to the county palace immediately to deal with tax matters.

But he didn’t want to, he was actually entangled by the people from the engineering department, and he had to pull him to ask about the specific plan to conquer the barbarian Gu clan in the southern border, and to ask about the engineering equipment, civil engineering materials and other details that need to be used during the expedition. There is no end to it. The stance that was gone, made him go into a frenzy before he got out.

Although the number of barbarian Gu tribes in the southern border is far lower than before, they still occupy a large area of land south of Tianfu. Even if a plan is finalized, it is from preparing food and grass, determining the list of personnel to go with the army, and so on, to dispatching troops and preparing to set off. , it will take several months at the earliest, where is the need to be so anxious?

This group of people was intentional, and it must have been a delaying strategy by Wang Zhouhui.

What he is most anxious about now is to deal with the tax investigation.

If that is not good, let alone the conquest of the grand marshal, even his prestige as a quasi-emperor will be greatly affected, which will then affect the battle between the emperor and the son.

Wang Shouzhe!

The name that he had heard of the report, but he didn’t care about, was a target worthy of being attracted by intelligence, but he did not take the initiative to attack.

Instead, he put on an aloof attitude, and he didn’t even care about Long Wuji’s efforts to win over the opponent.

He privately believed that even if Wang Shouzhe was indeed a talent and had made some achievements, in the final analysis he was just the patriarch of a small isolated family.

Shouldn’t they have taken the initiative to surrender immediately after hearing that the lineage of Duke Kangjun wanted to recruit him?

If the other party does not come, it is the other party’s lack of vision and the other party’s loss.

result……

Not only did the other party take refuge in Wu Mingyuan, but he also pulled Long Wuji over, and savagely poached him around the corner.

Not only that, but all kinds of coquettish manipulations continued, narrowing the gap between Wu Mingyuan and him, causing him huge damage time and time again.

And this time, Duan Ang not only forced His Majesty to check the tax, but also compared him with Anjun King side by side, which undoubtedly stabbed him hard in the heart.

Damn Wang Shouzhe!

The carriage slowly drove into the courtyard, and King Kang frowned and got off the carriage.

“His Royal Highness.” Princess Zhao Yijing, the princess of the county, was already waiting here, stepped forward to support Prince Kang, and said softly, “My concubine has ordered a small kitchen to prepare His Royal Highness’s favorite Xihai ice oysters, which Tianfu County has just shipped. Fresh phoenix mushroom stewed with snow flying dragon, and Donghai Lingjian swordfish fillet porridge.”

“How can this king have the heart to eat now?” Prince Kang felt agitated for a while, and waved his hand impatiently, “You go back to the house to rest first, I have something important to discuss with the guests.”

“His Royal Highness, the concubine has already heard about what happened at the great court meeting.” Zhao Yijing said softly, “It has already happened, no matter how urgent it is. After a while, eat a few bites of delicious food and calm down, and then arrange complicated matters.”

“This… you’re right.” King Kang calmed down a little, obeyed Zhao Yijing’s arrangement, took a shower, changed clothes, and ate some delicacies that he liked to eat on weekdays. His impetuous heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhao Yijing also helped him arrange everything, and then retired obediently.

She knew that not everything she could be involved in.

In the luxurious study room of King Kangjun, a lot of people have gathered at this moment, all of them are some confidants and aides raised by King Kangjun, the housekeeper in the house, and the general accountant who has been followed for generations in the house, and so on.

One of the staff members was called “Jiang Zhuyi”, who was a descendant of the Jiang family, an inconspicuous fourth-grade family in the Xian Dynasty. It was said that the Jiang family was also a branch of the first-grade Jiang family.

However, the Jiang family is an ancient surname, which is considered a common surname in the Xian Dynasty, and there are not a few families with the surname Jiang in the Xian Dynasty.

In Lian Dagan, there are quite a few families with the surname Jiang, and the current master of the Holy Land in Lian Dagan, “Jiang Zhencang”, is also surnamed Jiang.

However, even if they are both Jiang clans, they are not necessarily of the same clan.

Jiang Zhuyi is handsome and handsome, and he is extremely talented and quick in thinking. He is one of the most trusted staff of King Kangjun.

Over the years, he has helped King Kang handle many things, especially “that matter”, and it is Jiang Zhuyi who is solely responsible for it.

He is also completing the docking with Luo Yuqing of “Dawnbreak”.

After all, with Luo Yuqing’s identity, it is impossible for him to enter and exit the Prince Kang’s mansion often.

“Zhu Yi.” King Kang asked with a slight frown while drinking tea, “Is there any news from Gongyang Xiandi?”

“His Royal Highness.” Jiang Zhuyi cupped her hands, “Miss Yuqing came back with news, saying that Tianque and another new intelligence organization have been obstructing her from inquiring about news, and many sources have been caught by that. The edge was cut off. She had to devote a considerable part of her energy to fighting them, so the news was a little behind.”

After a pause, Jiang Zhuyi said again: “However, Your Highness doesn’t have to worry too much. Mr. Ce is the arrogance of the Holy Land, and he is under the tutelage of the real person of Langya, so he has a special status. Xian Dynasty Yao Shi should give him some face. This time it must be delayed for some reason, no accident, there should be news in these two days. ”

Jiang Zhuyi talked eloquently and was very confident in his gestures.

This is the attitude that Xian Dynasty heroes often have.

Whether it is economy, education level, or overall strength level, Xian Dynasty is far more capable. Xian Dynasty people have more knowledge since childhood, and their mentality tends to be higher.

However, Jiang Zhuyi, as an outstanding person in the family’s second line, also has the ambition to open up branches and leaves, and start a line of his own, and assisting the King of Kang to ascend to the throne of the Great Emperor is undoubtedly the best shortcut.

“Yeah.” Duke Kang frowned slightly, and answered noncommittally, “Xian Gongyang has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he is a bit self-sufficient in his actions. That’s all, he won’t suffer losses with his strength.”

After a pause, he asked again, “What about Mr. Xin, is there any news back?”

If Xin Lao’s side is successful, he can use this to curb Wang Shouzhe privately.

Even, it is not impossible for Wang Shouzhe to use it for himself.

As soon as this statement came out, Jiang Zhuyi’s face became solemn: “There is news, but the situation is very bad.”

“I heard that Mr. Xin and the Wu brothers had bad luck when they were doing business. They met the dean of the Longzuo Zifu Academy, the real person Tianhe, who happened to be a guest in the Wang family… As a result, all three were attacked on the spot as evil thieves. kill!”

“What!? Elder Xin was also killed?” King Kang stood up suddenly, his face changed drastically, “And the old thing of Tianhe, why is it in the Changning Wang family?”

“I have found out from the official residence newspaper, and all three were killed. Fortunately, Mr. Xin chose to ‘self-destruct’ before being captured and killed, and did not reveal his identity.” Jiang Zhuyi lowered his head and said, “I heard that Tianhe Zhenren was hired by the Wang family to use his supernatural powers to help mobilize the spiritual veins and lay the foundation for building a family spirit gathering array.”

“This matter should be a coincidence. Both Wang Shi and Tianhe Zhenren are only three wanted criminals from our dynasty. Otherwise, if they capture ‘Xin Lao’, they will take the opportunity to attack us.”

Jiang Zhuyi’s analysis was “very reasonable”, but unfortunately, he didn’t understand Wang Shouzhe’s true mentality at all.

Whether it’s the old man or the Wu brothers, although they are indeed the people of the King Kang, but even if they are captured, once they have to argue with the King Kang on this matter, it will be unclear in a short period of time. Some of them are way to excuse.

On the contrary, as soon as this matter comes out, it will reveal the true strength of the Wang family, and it is easy to attract more powerful enemies.

It’s better to put the blame on Tianhe Zhenren, and let his old man take the blame, which is the most appropriate.

“Faithful!” King Kang’s eyes were faintly flushed, and anger and hatred rose in his heart, “Wang, Tianhe, the king of this county is incompatible with you!”

Different from other people, Wu Zhongxin was the one who followed Prince Kang very early and protected him along the way.

No matter how ruthless King Kang is, he is still a human being and still has feelings.

“Your Highness, rest your anger.” Jiang Zhuyi cupped her hands and said, “The matter has come to this point, anger has no meaning. What we need to do now is to find a way to get through this tax audit crisis, at least to minimize the losses. Only you win in the end. Only the emperor can avenge the old man.”

“Huh, huh~”

King Kang Jun took a few deep breaths before barely restraining his emotions. His eyes were full of sternness and he looked to the other side, “Mr. Yude, I sent my entourage back earlier to ask you to sort out the accounts. How is the situation?”

Mr. Yude is the general accountant of Kangjun Wangfu, and he is in charge of dozens of accountants.

He was born next to the decline of the royal family. His full name is “Wu Yude”. His ancestors handled the accounts for the line of Dexin.

“Go back to Your Highness.” Mr. Yude said, “The accounts of our Kangjun palace are extremely complicated, and in a short period of time…”

“Forget it, my Highness will ask you, if it is based on the actual tax payable, and we have paid the tax, what is the difference? Is there a difference of 50%…” King Kang has always been in charge of the overall situation. It is not clear how much tax evasion has been evaded.

This kind of thing usually doesn’t need him to take care of it.

“This…” Mr. Yude was sweating on his forehead, gritted his teeth and said, “Your Highness, you are too conservative, yes, at least 80%…”

King Kang Jun was startled, so he didn’t fall head over heels.

He was furious and roared: “How is it possible? You guys are so bold, you really are so bold! Eighty percent, how did you do it?”

“His Royal Highness is wronged.” Mr. Yude’s face was bitter, “It turns out that our Prince Kang’s mansion is about 50% less according to the usual practice. But for nearly a hundred years, His Royal Highness has been working hard for the throne of the emperor, and the funds in the mansion are gradually running short. If you don’t increase tax avoidance, many things may no longer work.”

What’s more, he didn’t have the guts to make an assertion about this kind of thing, so he had already asked His Highness for instructions before the operation, but His Highness probably forgot to agree.

“Can’t you try to smooth out the accounts?” King Kang rubbed his temples with a headache.

Mr. Yude was so suffocated that he almost burst out.

Come, come, let me give you the account, can you compare it to me?

But if he dared to say this, he would most likely be beaten to death.

In desperation, he had no choice but to say dryly: “Your Highness, the financial accounts can affect the whole body. Although we have been very cautious, no matter who is evading tax, as long as the scale is slightly larger, once it is thoroughly Check, check carefully, and you can definitely find the problem.”

“No matter how good the accounting is, the Sancai Division only needs to carefully check the scale of each industry, carefully check the expenditure and income, and then interrogate the relevant people. After all, there is no escape.”

The chief steward of the county king’s mansion frowned and said, “Your Highness, otherwise we will use the old method. Those tax officials who are responsible for tax inspection always have relatives and family members, and there are always things they want. Let’s try to buy a few. During the tax inspection process Do something…”

However, he was interrupted by King Kang before he could finish speaking.

“Stupid!” King Kang gave him a cold look, “Do you know how many pairs of eyes are staring at us now? Besides, King An has already prepared this time, and will definitely send someone to watch us secretly. Waiting to pull my braids at any time. Believe it or not, you only send people out on the front foot, and the person on the back foot will be detained by the people from King An and become my witness to try to bribe the tax officer?”

“Yes, yes, it’s the old slave who didn’t think carefully.” The big housekeeper broke into a cold sweat.

“It’s not just bribes, threats, and assassinations are not enough.” King Kang said coldly, “Wang Shouzhe is a naked conspiracy, that is, he saw that the account of my ancestor’s mansion and I could not withstand the investigation. This knife, but It hit my heart.”

“Your Highness, stay calm.” Jiang Zhuyi offered advice, “On the surface, this matter seems to be quite unfavorable to you. Once you are found to have a large number of tax evasion and tax evasion, it will be a huge blow to the prestige.”

“But if you think about it carefully, this matter may not be really beneficial to King An. His plan is beneficial to the country, but it offends most of the royal family and aristocratic families. Everyone doesn’t say it on the surface, but in the bottom of his heart, it is definitely for King An and others. People hate it to the bone, and no one wants the meat they eat to be forced out of their throats, right?”

“What is the dispute between the emperor and the son? Naturally, it is to represent the interests of the royal family, the interests of the aristocratic family. Although Wang Shouzhe’s plan is good, it will break the popularity of Anjun King in the family.”

King Kang’s expression lifted: “Zhu Yi’s words are reasonable, so what should we do next?”

“On the surface, I actively cooperate with the tax inspection, and I can’t leave a handle on this turbulent situation.” Jiang Zhuyi analyzed, “Second, take the initiative to plead guilty to His Majesty, on the grounds that you don’t know it, and promise to make corrections.”

“Thirdly, secretly report the tax evasion and evasion of various prince’s palaces, county palaces, and major families, and force Sancai Division to investigate, or at least force them to pay taxes, and then Luo Yuqing will spread the word. That’s right. , we are indeed black, but if most people are black, we will not appear so black… At such times, white people are too conspicuous and hateful.”

“Fourth, actively win over allies, implying that once the King of Anjun comes to power, everyone’s life will be difficult in the future. It is better to lift you to the top when voting in the royal family, then the tax revenue of the royal family and the big family can be turned a blind eye.”

“Wonderful! It’s wonderful.” Kangjun Wang said with great joy, “Zhu Yi’s words made the eyes suddenly clear.”

This time, Wu Mingyuan’s servant has offended most of the aristocratic and royal families in the world.

As the so-called “cutting people’s money is like killing one’s parents”, he doesn’t believe it anymore. After Wu Mingyuan’s tossing like this, how many noble families and royal families are willing to support him!

“Big housekeeper.” King Kang was slightly excited.

“His Royal Highness.” The old housekeeper’s eyes lit up, as if he saw a light in the darkness, and he suddenly became excited, “What should the old slave do?”

“So, you go find…”

King Kangjun whispered a few words, and the big butler nodded again and again and went away excitedly.

As a confidant and retainer of King Kang, his honor and disgrace are all tied to King Kang. Once King Kang falls, he will definitely be the first to lose his luck, so he is naturally very active at this moment.

The old housekeeper has followed Kang Junwang for many years, and his ability to do things goes without saying.

…

The tax investigation turmoil quickly unfolded in Guilong City.

There was a lot of chaos and uproar.

Just in the midst of the chaos of the various families, more than half a month passed without knowing it.

The tax inspection operation, which has been raging, seems to have no signs of stopping at all. Instead, it has a kind of intensified trend, like a raging fire, and it is difficult to stop.

Every day, there will be aristocratic families or royal families planted in.

The three talents and the people are so busy that they have already turned around, but it is still too late.

However, no matter how vigorous the uproar is, the people in Guilong City still live their lives as they should.

Except for a small number of stakeholders, most people are not affected much, but eat melons with relish.

West of the city.

Because Guilong City is mainly expanding to the south and east, this area in the west of the city is barely an old city, and its prosperity is much less than that in the east of the city.

Most of the people who live here are members of remote branches of the royal family, as well as some aristocratic families with a long history but not very prosperous. The impact of this tax audit storm is relatively small.

The streets are no different from the usual days.

On this day, Lao Liutou, as usual, set up a herbal tea stall on the street and sold snacks by the way.

At this moment, he was sitting leisurely behind the stall, and there were a few flies driving away the mosquitoes and flies attracted by the smell of the food.

The profit of the herbal tea stall is not high, and a bowl of herbal tea is only sold for two coins, and he does not earn much in one day, which is only enough for his own daily expenses.

However, Lao Liutou did not want to make money.

His children have already married, and his wife has gone a few years ago. Setting up a stall is just to pass the boring time, and by the way, someone can chat with him.

At this moment, several strong men who worked hard in the business were sitting in the pergola, drinking tea and resting their feet, while chatting one after another.

Old Liu head also supported his ears, listening with gusto.

“Have you heard? A few days ago, the Li family in the south of the city was also spot-checked, and many Zhuangzi shops under its name caused a lot of trouble. This time, this time, the south of the city Li family is in bad luck, if the tax payment can’t make it up , maybe the pawn industry will fill the hole.” Zhuang Man No. 1 sighed with emotion.

“That’s what they deserve!” No. 2, the strong man next to him, didn’t care, “They want to pay taxes honestly, just like us, how can they be so embarrassed now? Also, how many noble families have been spot-checked these days, like The Sun clan in the south of the city and the Hang clan in the north of the city have made a lot of money with the protection of the Duke Anguo in the past few years, which one doesn’t deserve it?”

“Hehe~ How can I sympathize with the Li family in the south of the city? I am the eighteenth concubine that the sixth young master of the Li family just married this year.” That is called a water spirit, so beautiful that she is almost catching up with the fairy in the sky~ With such a commotion in the Li family, she must also suffer along with it~”

“Fuck you! It’s as if you’ve seen it before.” Brawny No. 3 scolded him with a laugh.

“Why haven’t I seen it before?” No. 1 Brawny grinned proudly, “That little lady is from my alley. When she was a child, I even bought her candy and pulled her What about Xiaoshou. When she went back to her mother’s house to visit relatives a few days ago, I heard her family complain that the Li family Liulang is not a thing. In order to make up for the tax, she has already given Cuiyun’s things, and she can still lick it. Take your face back.”

Listening to the discussion of the three, the strong man No. 4 on the other side bared his teeth and felt depressed: “I don’t even have a daughter-in-law, so the sixth young master of the Li family can actually marry an eighteen-family concubine, the son of an evil family… ”

“I think you have too much strength and nowhere to use it, you miss a woman…”

A few strong men laughed and laughed, and the atmosphere was very lively.

These strong men are all long-term workers of large commercial firms, and their cultivation bases have the appearance of two or three levels of Qi Refining.

In order to improve the enthusiasm of the long-term workers and enhance their strength, and to improve the safety of transporting supplies on the wilderness road, some large commercial companies will teach the long-term workers some superficial cultivation methods.

Although they are all inexperienced cultivation methods, they will never be able to break through the spiritual stage in a lifetime of cultivation, and there is no corresponding move, so they can only strengthen their body.

But even so, these long-term workers are considered to be Xuanwu cultivators in size, they have a large circle of contacts, their knowledge is better than that of ordinary people, and they are naturally more well-informed.

After a few people chatted, they returned to the original topic.

“Speaking of which, our owner is quite stable. Look at the ‘Furuixing’ next door. Their shopkeeper has been so anxious these days. I heard that their owner was also reported anonymously. It seems that If something went wrong, the whole Furuixing would be unlucky.”

“So, it’s really important to be with the owner. If there’s nothing wrong with the owner, we can chat so leisurely, otherwise, we’ll have to find another home now.” Zhuang Man No. 1 is obviously more well-informed, “I There is a brother who works as a long-term worker in a firm under the name of King Kang Jun. He came to me for a drink a while ago, and he complained to me that their firm was about to run out of business. It is said that the three talents checked and said that they owed a lot of money. Ten years of tax has directly sealed their warehouse, and the golden tickets are transported to Sancai in sacks…their shopkeeper vomited blood on the spot, and now he is still lying in bed and can’t get up…”

“I’ll be darling, this tax evasion must have ‘tens of billions’ worth of money?” Old Liutou couldn’t help but interject when he heard it.

“Hehe~ We don’t know about this, anyway, there are a lot of them.” No. 1 Brawny smiled, “I know that even if we work hard for a lifetime, we won’t be able to earn a fraction of others.”

“If you want me to tell me, it’s time to check them out.” No. 4 Zhuang Han curled his lips, “Those high-level clans like to look at people with their noses, because of their high cultivation and good family background, they are usually crazy. There is no limit, occupying the best resources but not doing human work, none of them are good things!”

“Hey, hey~ I can’t say that.” Hearing what he said, Zhuang Han No. 1 was suddenly unhappy, and said dissatisfied, “Dingguo Gongfu, Deshun Prince’s residence, and Anjun Wangfu, not all of them. Didn’t find any problems? And our boss, isn’t there any problem? This shows that there are good people in the family. Let’s talk about it, and we can’t knock over a boat with one shot, right?”

“That’s right. If nothing else, our boss really has nothing to say to us.” No. 4 Brawny nodded, but he couldn’t say anything to refute.

“Actually, compared to King Kang, I think King An is much more reliable. At least he really has the common people in his heart.” No. 3 Zhuang Han also talked with herbal tea and pointed Jiangshan up, “If King An If I can ascend to the throne, I won’t say anything else in the future. At least our common people will definitely have a much better life, and there will be much less cases of aristocratic families oppressing the common people. But if the King of Kangjun ascends the throne, it’s hard to say.”

As soon as these words came out, the other strong men nodded, and even Lao Liutou couldn’t help nodding.

They couldn’t see it before, but when they checked the tax this time, many aristocratic families were exposed.

Nowadays, who doesn’t know that Prince Daoxin and Prince Kang are very serious about tax evasion and tax evasion?

To put it bluntly, they are the worms of the big country!

Such selfish people, once they ascend to the throne of God, will they really care about the people’s livelihood and the development of the country?

What this kind of person really cares about is how much the power in their hands can bring them, and how many opportunities to enrich their own pockets?

The knowledge of the common people may not be as broad as those of those from aristocratic families, but they have their own set of simple values and standards for looking at people.

In such a stark contrast, the popularity of the Prince Kang family in the public can be said to have fallen to the bottom. On the contrary, it is the Prince An, Prince Deshun and the Wang family who have risen sharply because of this tax audit. A wave of prestige and prestige.

Some people also dug up the fact that King Anjun secretly used his private name to provide disaster relief and donate money.

Even many small details that few people usually pay attention to have been dug up, which has become a proof of the benevolence of the three families and their dedication to the people.

For a time, the people praised them ravely.

The commoners are naturally very supportive of King An.

However, the aristocratic and royal families who were constantly “fighting and fighting” all hated King An so much that their teeth itch.

In particular, some bigwigs with voting rights, in order to vent their anger, secretly let out the wind and said, isn’t the king of Anjun a cow?

Anyway, there is no shortage of our vote!

at the same time.

In the Humble Administrator’s Pavilion.

Emperor Longchang didn’t lie leisurely in the reclining chair as usual and let Lao Yao squeeze his shoulders, but sat upright on the Taishi chair behind the desk.

Lao Yao also respectfully stood behind him with his whisk in hand, lowered his head, looked serious, and tried to reduce his presence as much as possible.

The desk in front of Emperor Longchang was once again filled with memorials.

It stands to reason that these memorials are to be handled by the cabinet.

However, these papers are all papers for impeaching and criticizing the chief minister of the acting cabinet, Ancestor Yin Da, as well as Prince Deshun, King Anjun and others.

There are many others, which are to report tax evasion and evasion by the royal family and some aristocratic families, as well as all kinds of bad things.

The cabinet was not easy to deal with, so it could only hand over the review power to Emperor Longchang.

At the same time, Meng Yuanbai was also sweating profusely standing opposite the Great Emperor’s desk, his eyebrows lowered, and his expression nervously waiting for the next order.

Even the five little wolf cubs, who were noisy on weekdays, huddled in the corner obediently at this moment, instead of making a fuss about Emperor Longchang as usual, acting coquettishly to please him.

There was a tense atmosphere in the entire Humble Administrator’s Pavilion.

“It’s ridiculous, it’s ridiculous.” Emperor Longchang slammed the table and said angrily, “I didn’t expect that there would be so many worms in our royal family. I originally thought that it was the Dexin line that went too far. Others , at least not that bad.”

“However, I didn’t expect that Dexin and King Kang are both role models for paying taxes compared to certain royal families!”

I really don’t know if I don’t check it, I was shocked when I checked it.

The corruption of Dagan’s tax situation has far exceeded Emperor Longchang’s expectations.

Especially within the royal family, those royal family who don’t show the mountains and dew, usually keep a low profile, will actually do the act of concealing the entire manor, as if this kind of thing has become a routine.

More serious, in the end, the taxpayer becomes the small head, and the concealment is the big head.

In addition to tax evasion and tax evasion, many other unsavory and dirty things have also been shaken out one by one.

For example, there was a county king who even imprisoned a large number of civilians, men and women, and let them reproduce continuously. The children born were brainwashed and used as slaves when they grew up.

It was so shocking that Emperor Longchang gave birth to a feeling that “the emperor who has been the emperor for thousands of years has been in vain”.

Could it be that Wang Shouzhe really wanted to say, “His Majesty enjoys wars in his life, and is impatient to build internal affairs, so he is suspected of having great success”?

“Your Majesty, this is a deliberate man behind the scenes, trying to muddy the water.” Lao Yao reminded in a low voice.

“I can see it.” The Great Emperor Longchang said coldly, “Kang Jun first bowed his head to admit his mistake, and then one after another thing broke out, but it seems that he is not too bad. I have to admit that this It is indeed very possible to create an opportunity to survive in a desperate situation.”

“Previously, I underestimated Prince Kang. It’s a pity that the kid Mingyuan didn’t listen to his persuasion. I told him before that I wanted to learn the emperor’s mind, instead of just acting like a fool.”

“It’s better now. Now if the clansmen are asked to choose one of Kang Junwang and An Junwang, most of them will choose Kang Junwang. People’s hearts, people’s hearts!”

“Forget it, let Ming Yuan and Wang Shouzhe eat a big loss and teach them a vivid lesson. Reform is not so easy to change.”

It is really easy to change, he changed it 800 years ago, how could it have been delayed until now?

“Wang Shouzhe is a smart person and has many methods. It’s a pity that his move has the opposite effect, offending too many people. Instead, he helps King Kang ‘win people’s hearts’. When I have time, I can Mention something to him, it’s a trick, you have to consider the word human nature.”

Just when Emperor Longchang commented on Wang Shouzhe and Anjun Wang.

Meng Yuanbai suddenly said: “Your Majesty, regarding the Prince of Kangjun, when the minister was investigating the tax, he found a strange thing. The minister did not dare to arbitrarily decide, so he had to submit it to Yulan for your Majesty’s decision.”

After all, he presented some data reports.

Emperor Longchang took a look, and his face gradually became solemn: “Meng Yuanbai, the key points you outlined with the red pen are very clear. You mean that in addition to tax evasion and tax evasion, the Kangjun Wangfu also has a large amount of mysterious funds coming in and out. I don’t know where to go! Moreover, the sum of its funds, as well as the time of entry and exit, the accounts found in the case of Zhao Zhikun’s smuggling and collusion with the enemy are generally correct…”

“Go back to Your Majesty, that’s true.” Meng Yuanbai said tremblingly, “In order to prevent mistakes, I specially asked people to check it several times. There are indeed so many mysterious funds, which come in and out quietly, and the time does not match at all. The accounts are clear and cannot be faked.”

“Do you know that you are accusing King Kang of being the mastermind behind the [Zhao Zhikun smuggling and collaborating with the enemy]?” Emperor Longchang said with a cold expression, “You are taking refuge with the King of Anjun. Right? The dignified quasi emperor will go smuggling and collaborating with the enemy? Why don’t you say that I am smuggling and collaborating with the enemy?”

Meng Yuanbai was so frightened that he sweated profusely, and his body became weak. He almost couldn’t stand still, but he still said bravely, “This… This minister doesn’t mean that, just say what he finds out.”

at this time.

The commander of the inner guard, Xiao Jizi, hurriedly came to the front of the imperial guard and reported in a low voice, “Report to Your Majesty, Chen Jinglong, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard, and Chen Jinghu, the commander of the Department of Criminal Law, came together to ask to see His Majesty, saying that there is something important to announce.”

“What’s the matter?” The current chaos has made Emperor Longchang quite impatient, “If you don’t make it clear, let them get out.”

“Go back to Your Majesty, the Chen brothers said… They arrested Zhao Zhikun, who fled in fear of crime. In order to atone for his crimes and reduce his guilt, Zhao Zhikun is willing to reveal the mastermind behind the smuggling case.” Xiao Jizi replied tremblingly.

After speaking, he buried his head firmly, his face pale and sweating, and he didn’t dare to look up at Emperor Longchang’s expression.

“what!?”

Emperor Longchang trembled.

In the next moment, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he understood in an instant.

It’s not at all that Wang Shouzhe’s tax investigation is not good enough and the layout is not meticulous, but that he simply played a trick of “sounding the east and attacking the west” and played everyone!
