Chapter nine hundred and ninety-ninth report
Chapter 999 Reporting
Li Wan's words shocked everyone. He was punished a hundred times. This was not a small amount. He might lose his fortune. Not to mention, he was not allowed to do business for ten years. His family had a big business. How could he support them if he didn't do business.
Another aristocratic family said: "This female general, I wonder if we can make up for it now, is it too late?"
"There's enough time. We're here to remind you today. But when we found you, you didn't make up for it, so I'm sorry. The government will definitely handle business." Li Wan said in a deep voice.
"What if we don't have cash? Many of us may have already spent our money on buying goods, and we won't be able to come up with that much money," another aristocratic family said.
Li Wan said: "This is a good question. Just wait a moment and I'll let Marquis Lantian answer you."
Immediately she asked someone to enter the Yamen and called Li Feng out.
After Li Feng learned the reason, he immediately walked out, accompanied by the two brothers Feng Zhidai.
"Who asked the question just now?" Li Feng asked.
A member of a noble family came out and said, "It's me."
Li Feng nodded and said: "Your question is a good one. For those who don't have money to pay taxes, you can write an IOU to the government, and the government can lend you the money and you can pay the taxes.
This money is not lent to you by the tax bureau, but is lent to you by the national treasury for your emergency use, and interest needs to be charged."
“What if we still don’t have money from the national treasury?”
Li Feng smiled and said: "That's even simpler. The government will seize all your property and use it to pay off debts. Don't worry, you will go bankrupt at most.
If you want to do business, you can still do business. But after you make money, you still need to pay off the money you owe the court as soon as possible."
"But what if the business still fails?"
"Do you think anyone would invest in a project that will fail?" Li Feng quipped.
The person from the aristocratic family was not embarrassed and continued: "There is always a chance."
Li Feng said: "If anything happens, you will still be bankrupt. The government will not chase you for money. You should apologize to the people who invested in you, and even make them calm down. Don't take it out on your family."
On the body."
"I understand, Mr. Marquis, I am willing to pay the unpaid taxes now. Please send someone back to my home with me."
Li Feng nodded and said: "No, I believe you. Just send the money to the tax office."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your trust."
Once there is one, there will be a second, a third... until only Hong Zhihai is left at the scene. It's not that he doesn't want to leave, but Li Feng won't let him leave.
"You actually let them all leave. Aren't you worried that they will never come back?"
Li Feng smiled and said: "Do you think they can do the thing of throwing watermelons and picking sesame seeds?"
Hong Zhihai was immediately speechless.
Feng Zhidai on the side spoke again: "Master Hou, can you please stop embarrassing Uncle Hong?"
Li Feng said: "He asked for this on his own. You don't need to plead for him. Li Wan, take him with you. I'm going to take the others to the Duke Geng's Mansion. When you're done, you can go there too."
"Okay, sir."
Later, Li Feng and Li Wanbing split into two groups, one took Hong Zhihai to reconcile the accounts, and the other went to Geng Guogong's Mansion and handed over the account books and evidence to Feng Ang.
Feng Zhiwen was also taken away by Li Feng. He had no choice but to make him the boss of the tax yamen. Without his orders, would the people below dare to act recklessly?
Without feeding him, would the people below dare to eat? So the culprit is actually Feng Zhiwen.
As for Feng Zhidai, he had already gone to Geng Guogong's mansion a step ahead of Li Feng.
At this time, everyone in the Duke's Mansion was enjoying a song and dance performance. Feng Ang was toasting everyone and introducing the customs and customs of Lingnan.
Not long after, the housekeeper winked at Feng Ang from outside.
After Feng An saw it, he directly apologized to Li Er and left for the time being.
After getting permission, Feng Ang came outside. When he saw Feng Zhidai rushing around, he asked, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Dad, something bad has happened. Li Feng has arrested Uncle Hong, and brought Zhiwen and a group of tax officials to come to you." Feng Zhidao said quickly, and told the whole story.
"What? Li Feng actually arrested Lao Hong?" Feng Ang suddenly became furious, "He is so brave. Who gave him the power to arrest people?"
"Isn't it you, dad? Marquis Lantian has your personal token in his hand."
Feng An suddenly woke up. He had just drank a little wine and had forgotten about the bet with Li Feng. Now that he thought about it, he immediately felt regretful.
"Zhi Dai, please quickly send someone to rescue your Uncle Hong. By the way, under what name did he arrest Lao Hong?"
"Refuse to pay taxes."
"Then you go and send the money to the tax office and tell them that the tax has been paid, but the officials have forgotten it. It's all a misunderstanding."
"But all the people from the tax office were brought here by Lan Tianhou, and even Zhiwen came." Feng Zhidai explained.
"Idiot, won't you send it to the people who captured Lao Hong? Tell them that everything is the fault of those Yamen officials and has nothing to do with Lao Hong."
"Yes, Dad."
Feng Ang stopped Feng Zhidai from leaving, and then said to the steward beside him: "Go to the accounting office and ask if our property has paid taxes? If not, ask them to calculate the accounts quickly.
Then prepare the money, and we can pay as much tax as we should, and we must not let Li Feng get a handle on it."
"Yes, sir." said the butler.
After arranging everything, Feng Ang rushed over and was frightened for a while. He didn't expect that Li Feng would investigate clearly so quickly and bring a group of people to find him.
It seems that this matter cannot be resolved.
He turned back to his seat.
Li Er saw that he seemed to have something on his mind, so he asked: "Feng Aiqing, you seem to have something on your mind?"
"No, no." Feng An said awkwardly.
"It's okay if you don't. Keep watching the show. These women dance well," Li Er said.
Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "This Lingnan beauty is indeed different from the best."
Li Xiaogong said: "Yes, Lingnan beauties are not super plump, but their bodies are very soft and can do many difficult tasks."
Feng An stood up at this time, knelt on one knee in front of Li Er, and said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Lantian is right, there is really a problem with Lingnan's taxation, please forgive me."
"Li Feng has investigated clearly so quickly?" Li Er said with some surprise.
Cheng Yaojin said: "Your Majesty, it's not like you don't know that after Li Feng became serious, he would investigate the case very quickly."
Li Er nodded and said: "That's right, he can easily solve cases that even Dali Temple thinks are unsolvable.
Feng Aiqing, you may be bleeding heavily this time."
