In just one day, this overwhelming public opinion swept the entire Kaifeng Mansion.
The fermentation speed is also jaw-dropping.
But it really doesn’t mean that someone is behind this public opinion. At best, it is just adding fuel to the flames.
Because the tax department acted too quickly, although it won the lawsuit last time, it also caused controversy. But just a few days ago, the tax department launched a similar action again, and it was more serious than the last time, and even injured people.
He had many domestic servants.
The most important thing is that the Taxation Department said loudly and clearly last time that its arrangements were very meticulous, in order not to harm the people as much as possible.
The result was an immediate slap in the face.
Although the Department of Taxation also clarified that it was the domestic servants who took action first.
But the Liu family's servants accused the tax police of beating them.
Comparing the two, it is obvious that the tax police are more powerful, and they are the ones who take the initiative to come to the door.
The key point is that Liu Ping is indeed not at home, but came to the city to discuss with Li Guozhong about paying back taxes.
As a domestic servant, it is reasonable to have concerns.
In addition, Liu Ping was pretty good to the villagers on weekdays, had done some good deeds, and had a good reputation in Xiangfu County, which was different from Qin Biao.
In addition, the people did not trust the government very much, so they also believed in the confessions of the servants.
Moreover, this action of the Taxation Department has also given everyone the impression that things are getting worse.
Some people even think that it was the imperial court's ruling that made the tax police so unscrupulous.
You must know that many ordinary people have falsely reported their income to some extent, and some of them, like Liu Ping, are trying their best to make up for it. Therefore, the tax department's actions frightened them.
For these reasons, opposition to the Department of Taxation is growing day by day.
Not to mention the North Korea and China, the roof was blown down by the criticism.
Including the imperial court and the procuratorate, they also came under considerable pressure.
Especially Xu Zun, because his relationship with Zhang Fei was too close, and Zhang Fei was now employed by the Taxation Department, he took the initiative to take a leave of absence and go home to stay, and the Procuratorate was handed over to Su Che.
...
Prince's Mansion.
"Alas... if you stay with this group of insects, you will be able to govern the country well."
Wang Anshi, who had always been fearless, suddenly felt a little frustrated at this moment.
He knew that this was a trap aimed at the tax department, but in his opinion, it was obviously you who had falsely reported your income in the first place, but in the end you were not guilty at all and deliberately used this tax evasion to lure the tax department to visit you.
This is outrageous.
So one can imagine what he will face in the future.
Lu Huiqing did not feel depressed, this was all foreseeable, and said: "Teacher, if necessary, we have to help the tax department. If they win a big victory this time, they will definitely become very united, and they will also
This is how we are treated."
Wang Anshi nodded and said, "What do you think?"
Lu Huiqing said: "Currently, the Taxation Department and the Liu family are holding different opinions, but I believe that boy Zhang San will not be defeated so easily. That's not enough. We also have to prevent Bachelor Sima and others from turning back. They are
This is what I fear the most. I'm worried that they won't be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion and may side with the Liu family in order to seek stability.
If this is the case, we must step in to support the Department of Taxation, otherwise, we will be completely suppressed by them."
Wang Anshi snorted: "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 situation is not out of control yet. We have to prepare secretly. They
If we don't move, we can't act rashly. If we support the Department of Taxation first, it may make us very passive, and it further proves that the Department of Taxation may have a guilty conscience."
Lu Huiqing nodded and said, "I understand."
Wang Anshi sighed: "It's just that they keep attacking the Taxation Department like this, and Zhang San may not be able to withstand it."
The reason why he feels frustrated is not that he thinks Zhang San has lost, but that in this situation, he can't see any hope. The other party will keep fighting with you, and how can the tax department survive?
.......
And Lu Huiqing's guess is very accurate. After this incident broke out, the conservatives put crazy pressure on Sima Guang and the others. If you can't talk about Qin Biao, then we don't care. Now, why don't you come out?
Sound?
This really made Sima Guang and the others very embarrassed.
Political Hall.
"What I was worried about actually happened."
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: "Originally, I thought Wang Jiefu was radical enough, but I never thought that that boy Zhang San was even more radical. Even if his original intention was right, we can't do this. If this continues, this country will never have peace.
"
Wen Yanbo suddenly looked at Fu Bi, who had been silent, and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Fu?"
Sima Guang also looked at Fu Bi.
The meaning is obvious, should we take action to end this turmoil?
So far, the emperor and the governors are still watching the fire from the other side, and they have not personally ended up. This is why the judiciary is playing a huge role.
Both sides are relying on judicial means to play the game.
Fu Bi thought for a while and said, "Let's wait and see."
Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo looked at Fu Bi doubtfully.
Fu Bi said: "If you put pressure on the Department of Taxation, Wang Jiefu will definitely take action, and things may get worse. The situation is not out of control yet. The Imperial Court and the Procuratorate are still in control of the situation."
Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo looked at each other.
yes!
I almost ignored Wang Anshi.
If they want to take action, Wang Anshi will definitely take action. Regardless of whether Wang Anshi supports the Department of Taxation or not, it is impossible for the conservatives to win this victory, and party strife will directly break out.
...
No one from above said anything, and all the pressure was concentrated on this group of judicial upstarts.
It really is true to that sentence. When Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. Therefore, it is beneficial to be tempted and endure.
What it can't do.
The Public Security Bureau has just been activated, but the journey has been bumpy.
If the Public Security Bureau can overcome this hurdle, it will really stand up. If it cannot, it will become a joke.
The Liu family must sue the Department of Taxation for abusing its power and harming innocent people.
At the same time, both the DPRK, China and the people are putting pressure on the procuratorate.
You can punish Liu Ping for falsely reporting his property, but the servant is innocent and the tax department is so violent. How can this be done?
What kind of benevolent government is this? This is simply tyranny.
The procuratorate was under great pressure. Su Che repeatedly sent people to investigate, but there was really no evidence to prove that the domestic servant acted first and provoked the tax police.
On the other hand, the Taxation Department is very strong.
Zuoting.
"Currently, both parties are insisting on their own opinions. There is no evidence to prove that the tax police acted first, but there is irrefutable evidence that Liu Ping falsely reported his property. In this case, instead of prosecuting Liu Ping, the procuratorate will prosecute the tax department.
This is simply incomprehensible.”
Zhang Fei said excitedly.
Su Che immediately retorted: "We will definitely prosecute Liu Ping, but one thing comes to another. 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 other party's master is not at home, and the 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 explain that Liu Ping was not at home at all. This was a trap."
Su Zhe said: "If the arrangement of the Taxation Department is as meticulous as what the Taxation Department said, even if it is a trap, you will not be easily fooled. There is no evidence to prove that it was the domestic servant who made the move first, but the fact is
Five domestic servants suffered varying degrees of injuries.
After all, it was your tax police who came to the door on their own initiative, and then you said that it was the domestic servants who provoked you, will anyone believe this?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Your procuratorate looks at the evidence instead of relying on endless conjectures. You now lack evidence to prosecute the tax department."
Su Zhe said: "If you can't produce evidence to prove that they were the ones who acted first, then we can sue the Taxation Department. The five injured are still lying down."
"Shouldn't it be up to the president of this court to decide whether to prosecute?"
Lu Jiawen, who was sitting in the middle, said rather dissatisfied.
Su Che asked: "I wonder what President Lu thinks?"
Lu Jiawen thought for a moment and said: "At present, both of you are holding different opinions, and it is really difficult to judge. Therefore, the president of this court will give you another seven days to try to find more evidence. If you cannot find it, this court will accept the prosecution from the procuratorate.
.”
Having said this, he looked at Zhang Fei, "Now that public opinion is raging outside, your Taxation Department must also explain these issues to everyone and reduce everyone's fear of the Taxation Department. If you continue to make trouble like this, everyone will feel uncomfortable."
Zhang Fei said: "The Taxation Department has announced a code of conduct. Cooperate, you must cooperate. If those servants cooperate, this kind of thing will not happen."
Su Zhe said: "There is a problem with your regulations. Household servants have no power to make decisions. Their duty is to protect the owner's property."
Zhang Fei said: "In front of the judiciary, everyone is treated equally, no matter who they are, our tax department cannot give in even half a step."
Su Zhe said: "Although your litigation skills are very good, you cannot always win. If your tax department does not 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 try to open a trial to bring this case to trial.
Let's make the matter clear. As for the verdict, that is a matter for the imperial court.
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "Then let's wait and see."
At this moment, a judicial official quickly entered the room and handed a newspaper to Lu Jiawen.
After Lu Jiawen read it, he looked shocked at first. After a while, he handed the newspaper to Su Zhe and said with dissatisfaction: "It seems that your procuratorate's investigation was not detailed enough."
When Su Zhe took it and took a look, everyone was stunned.
Zhang Fei said confusedly: "What's going on?"
Lu Jiawen looked at Zhang Fei, "You don't know?"
Zhang Fei shook his head and asked: "Does it have anything to do with me?"
Su Che looked puzzled and said: "Feng Yue Bao just revealed the details of the entire incident, and explained that they sent people to ambush near Liu's house at that time and witnessed the entire incident."
Zhang Fei said in surprise: "This is impossible. How could Feng Yue Bao know about the actions of the Taxation Department?"
Su Zhe said: "They didn't explain this, but Feng Yue Bao also pointed out that two royal policemen were also following the tax police at that time, and they should have witnessed the entire incident."
"What?"
Everyone in Zhang Fei was dumbfounded.
Did he really not know? Su Che handed the newspaper to Zhang Fei with doubts.
Zhang Fei took it and started reading it immediately.
Su Che stood up and said, "Chief Lu, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
Lu Jiawen said arrogantly: "Your procuratorate also needs to reflect on this."
"yes."
Su Che nodded and left immediately.
After Zhang Fei saw it, he quickly stood up and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
As soon as I got out of the door, I heard someone shouting: "Zhang Sanlang, what a coincidence!"
Zhang Fei cupped his hands and said, "It turns out Brother Bao."
The person who came was none other than Li Bao.
Zhang Fei whispered again: "Why did Fengyue Bao get involved?"
Li Bao said: "We only confirmed that there were two Royal Police officers following us, but we don't know why Feng Yue Bao was involved."
Zhang Fei asked: "Has someone been bribed?"
Li Bao shook his head and said: "It's unlikely. What I know so far is that the three traitors in the Taxation Department are all Cao Yanei's people. Cao Yanei is the only outsider who knows about our operation. Considering Cao Yanei's.
Look at Mr. Fu’s relationship...!"
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Cao Dongdong must have told Fu Shichun, otherwise Fu Shichun wouldn't have known that there would be two royal policemen following him."
Li Bao said: "But this is a good thing for us."
Zhang Fei said: "But I was supposed to be the one to turn the tide in court, but the limelight was completely stolen by Fengyue Newspaper. When he did this, I... my Newspaper was suppressed by it. Last time I fought with Fu Shichun.
In mahjong, he always cuts off the beard, so I have to watch out for this kid from now on."
Li Bao chuckled, "I can't help you with this."
Zhang Fei said: "You didn't realize it. This is really embarrassing."
Li Bao said: "They should have ambushed them in advance, which is difficult for us to discover."
