Chapter 419: A Scene
Chapter 419: A Scene.
The night was getting cooler, and the wind was stronger.
In addition to the sound of the wind in the county office, the rest is the sound of snoring, and on such a night, a figure suddenly appeared outside Ye Xing's curtain, he wanted to reach out and push the door, but after his hand was on the door, he suddenly shrank back.
The man in black withdrew his hand and disappeared into the night.
It all happened so secretly that no one found out.
The next day, Ye Xing woke up as usual, he didn't know that a man in black wanted to break into his room last night, but then left quietly.
After a few of them had breakfast, Huo Qing and Feng Song led the officials to inform the people of the nameless county about the collection of taxes by the yamen, and the entire nameless county was boiling for a while.
Although the boiling is boiling, most of them are opposed, and if they suddenly take out the money in their pockets, how can they be willing?
There were many complaints, but even so, Huo Qing, Feng Song and others still spread the news, and clearly ordered that all those who need to pay taxes must rush to the yamen to pay taxes before noon today, and those who do not go will be punished according to the crime of tax evasion.
This punishment is not light, and those who need to pay taxes are also a little scared in their hearts, but after they deliberate, they decided to go to the yamen first, they don't believe that they don't pay taxes, and the people of the yamen can still copy them all, if this is the case, they will collectively resist, or all leave here, in this way, this nameless county may no longer exist.
After those wealthy merchants made up their minds, they rushed to the county government in groups, but after they arrived at the county office, they did not have the slightest intention of paying taxes.
When Huo Qing and the others saw that these people were coming, they turned to Ye Xing and asked, "Lord Ye, when will we start?" ”
Ye Xing swept around the crowd and didn't see Jiang Tonghai and them, so he said, "Wait for Jiang Tonghai and a few of them to come!" ”
Huo Qing nodded, the three of them were indispensable in today's scene, so even if he hated Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing, he had to wait.
About half an hour later, Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing came swayingly, and after they came, the rest of the rich businessmen hurriedly gave way, because their wealth was nothing compared to Jiang Tonghai.
Ye Xing saw Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing coming, so he nodded slightly, and then said to everyone: "Because the nameless county is located in a remote area, the county government once became a deserted scene, I am the emperor who gave the world to walk Ye Xing, and now I have come here, and when I encounter this matter, I naturally can't ignore it, and when I took over the things here, I found that the tax debt here is serious, and the reason why such a thing happened is because you are too inintuitive, and the tax is originally taken from the people for the people, If you don't pay the taxes, how will the county government come up with money to help the people when there is an emergency in the future? ”
The front of the county government is still very noisy, but there is no more noise just now, and many people have stopped shouting and listening, and some people have loudly agreed, because they are too poor to pay taxes.
After a long time, Ye Xing continued: "Someone must take the lead in this matter, in the entire nameless county, the richest are Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing, so I hope that the three of you can set an example and pay the taxes you owe first." ”
This was what Ye Xing discussed with Jiang Tonghai and the three of them yesterday, and at this time, Jiang Tonghai and the three of them wanted to express themselves and set an example, but they didn't.
I saw Jiang Tonghai come to the front with disdain and shouted, "Do you want us to pay taxes?" Do you have a problem with your brain, why should we give you our money! ”
As soon as Jiang Tonghai's words came out, Ye Xing and the others were taken aback, they turned out to be one on the surface, and another behind them.
Hua Zhimeng was angry, and whispered to Ye Xing: "I'll go down and teach them a lesson." ”
Just as Hua Zhimeng was about to fly down, Ye Xing hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, I have my own plans!" ”
Hua Zhi dreamed that Ye Xing was so sure, and finally dispelled her thoughts, but she didn't know how Ye Xing wanted to deal with these people who went back on her word.
There was still a lot of noise in front of the county yamen, and they all shouted loudly that they would not pay taxes, while Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing showed faint smiles on their faces, they seemed to be laughing at Ye Xing's being deceived, and they seemed to think that Ye Xing was too easy to be deceived.
Just when the situation was out of control, Ye Xing suddenly shouted loudly: "You openly flout the laws of the Ming Dynasty, then don't blame me for being cold-hearted, come here, put Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian, and Yan Zhenqing into custody for me, and then follow me to confiscate their family property, and if these people refuse to pay taxes, they can't let go of any of them, and all their family property will be confiscated." ”
After Ye Xing finished speaking, there were already several officials who went to arrest Jiang Tonghai and the three of them, and the three of them saw that Ye Xing really dared to send someone to arrest them, so they hurriedly retreated, and they also had the intention of resisting, when they came, there were bodyguards around them, and the three of them retreated, but their bodyguards came up.
When those officials saw this, they began to hesitate, although they were officials, they didn't have very powerful martial arts, and Jiang Tonghai's bodyguards seemed to be practicing families, so how could they catch Jiang Tonghai and the others?
Just when those officials hesitated, Ye Xing suddenly flew down, kicked all those bodyguards to the ground, and then said to those officials: "What are you still doing here, hurry up and arrest the three of them!" ”
The officials nodded, and then detained Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian and Yan Zhenqing, after the three of them were detained, they suddenly lost their domineering just now, and just kept begging for mercy.
"Lord Ye, we know that we are wrong, please spare us, we will pay the taxes we owe, and we will pay them immediately."
Jiang Tonghai's begging for mercy made those rich businessmen who had been unwilling to give in fall into their eyes, and when they saw that Jiang Tonghai and the three of them were begging for mercy and willing to pay taxes, where did they dare to resist?
So they all hurriedly said that they were willing to pay the taxes they owed, and they would pay them immediately.
Ye Xing smiled slightly, and glanced at Feng Song and Huo Qing, the two of them understood, so they immediately started collecting taxes, who owed how much they had already cleared before, and at this time, they only needed to collect taxes by name.
When Huo Qing and Feng Song hurriedly collected taxes, Ye Xing instructed those officials: "Put Jiang Tonghai, Tong Sanqian, and Yan Zhenqing into the county government prison and wait for their fate." ”
