Zhu Tianjiang seized the tax office's account keeper, which immediately caused a shock in Shutian Mansion. Not to mention the small sixth-grade tax inspector, even the official imperial envoy arrived in Shutian Mansion, no one dared to be so arrogant.
As the saying goes, you don’t need to look at the monk’s face to see the Buddha’s face, and when you beat a dog, you still need to look at the owner. After all, the special nature of Zhou Dazhong’s identity is there. Even Emperor Chengwu had to give three points of thin noodles. Zhu Tianjiang also knew that he had seized this
Helping this guy is tantamount to slapping Zhou Dazhong in the face. The tax office of Shutian Mansion is equivalent to the finance department and tax bureau of the province in Zhu Tianjiang's previous life. They have impounded these accounts and treasury managers, and even some normal financial plans have to be delayed.
But if he doesn't do this, he may have to run back to the capital in despair like the previous tax inspectors. If Zhu Tianjiang returns empty-handed like this, he will only die.
In the government office, Zhou Dazhong's face was as cold as iron, and Tang Qili was going crazy. Zhang Chunfa was his sworn brother, and all secret accounts were kept by Zhang Chunfa. If Zhang Chunfa spit out his words, his whole family might not be safe.
"Sir, that kid doesn't even have you in his eyes. This time I will punish him severely no matter what he says." Tang Qili said sadly and angrily.
Tang Qili originally wanted Zhang Chunfa to cause trouble. If he was beaten, the arresting government would send someone to come forward. Then they could take advantage of the chaos and scatter the account books into the official post, and they could take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Who would have thought, the fourth prince and Zhu Tianjiang
He actually detained the person directly.
Zhou Dazhong was not impulsive. He understood that as long as he gave the order, there would be almost no room for maneuver. Before receiving the instructions from his father and aunt, Zhou Dazhong did not want to tear his face apart.
"Yiping, you and Qi Li go to the official post office together to see what the fourth prince says. Remember, try not to have any conflicts. The first priority is to bring our people back. As long as the account books are left in the official post office, I will
Just let them walk around without food." Zhou Dazhong said slyly, stroking his beard.
Yao Yiping, Inspector of the Shutian Prefecture's Punishment Department, rolled his eyes. He had discussed it with Tang Qili in advance, and he would send people there as soon as they took action. Then the account books would be scattered in the chaos. In this way, the tax bureau could falsely accuse the loss of a large number of people.
The ledger put Zhu Tianjiang into a desperate situation. But Yao Yiping did not expect that the other party would boldly detain him.
In the government post station, Zhu Tianjiang, Guo Ying and Xuanzhu Li Yuer were sitting in the lobby in the backyard. The four of them followed Zhu Tianjiang's lead and obeyed his arrangements in everything. Especially the fourth prince Xuanzhu, no matter what Zhu Tianjiang said, he
Only three words~"Well said!"
"Brother Tianjiang, we had a quarrel with the tax office people as soon as we arrived. I'm afraid they won't cooperate." Guo Ying said worriedly.
"Not cooperating? Those grandsons have no intention of cooperating at all. If I expect them to hand over the money honestly, there is no way. And even if there is money, I'm afraid~!" Zhu Tianjiang frowned.
Just now, he figured out something. Thinking of the consequences of this matter, Zhu Tianjiang felt a headache. Only now did Zhu Tianjiang realize that he was just a pawn in the hands of the emperor, and this errand was basically a pawn.
Dead end.
"That's good!" The fourth prince nodded seriously.
Li Yu'er looked at the fourth prince strangely. He shouted "yes" to whatever he said. Li Yu'er found that his fourth brother had changed. He had changed too much from before. Could it be that he was drunk and stupid last night.
"Fourth brother, what do you think?" Yu Gege stared at the fourth prince with big eyes.
"My prince's opinion is the same as Lord Zhu's. Brother Tianjiang, if you have any assignments, just give me your instructions." The fourth prince said sincerely.
"Fourth brother, humility makes people progress. You are just a teachable brat." Zhu Tianjiang patted the fourth prince happily and said to him, if you knew that I burned that piece of paper, you would have to sit on the bench to die.
I.
While several people were talking, Zhu Si walked in and said, "Sir, Yao Yiping and Tang Qili, the arresters, came with the arresters and said they wanted to see the fourth prince."
"No! I don't see anyone now." The bruises on the fourth prince's face were not swollen yet, and he was too embarrassed to see anyone.
Zhu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Fourth brother, Yu Gege, you wait in the side hall first, I will come to meet these two guys."
Zhu Tianjiang asked the fourth prince and others to hide in a side hall while he dealt with Yao Yiping and Tang Qili.
The palace guards lined up and stood majestically on both sides. The "Four Zhus" on the sticky pole stood on Zhu Tianjiang's left and right respectively. Zhu Daguan finally found a sense of ancient official power.
An official from the Ministry of Household Affairs led Yao Yiping and Tang Qili in. The officials at the door were all as good as uncles, and the two of them almost got angry. Yao Yiping is in charge of the security of the thirteen towns in the six counties of Shutian Prefecture.
Today, someone actually blocked the door. If Zhou Dazhong hadn't warned in advance not to cause a stalemate, he would have had to rush in with his people.
The two people looked at Zhu Tianjiang angrily, "Master Zhu, we have something to ask the fourth prince to see, and please tell Master Zhu to tell you something." Tang Qili said angrily. That means I don't think highly of you at all, so hurry up and call you.
The master of the house.
"I'm sorry, the fourth prince is not feeling well. If you have anything, just tell me." Zhu Tianjiang said without even standing, crossing his legs.
Yao Yiping snorted coldly, "Huh! A small sixth-grade Zhima official actually put on airs in front of me. Zhu Tianjiang, I want to ask you, according to Dafeng law, when low-level officials see a superior official, what should they do?
How to salute? Didn't your teacher teach you? You are simply a fool."
Zhu Tianjiang's eyes lit up. He was thinking about how to solve this dead situation, and now the opportunity has come. Yao Yiping is a fourth-grade official, and his level is not low. If this kid is 'trapped', Shutian Mansion will probably be very
There can be no chaos.
Thinking of this, Zhu Tianjiang narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Yao, I have never been taught by my teacher. I don't know whether such a teacher is good or bad."
"Hmph! You are worse than a pig or a dog if you mislead others." Yao Yiping became angry when he saw Zhu Tianjiang and said angrily.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at the table in front of him. He originally wanted to find something like a piece of wood and knock it hard to show his authority. But after looking for a long time, there was nothing else except teapots and bowls.
Zhu Tianjiang grabbed a tea bowl and threw it to the ground, "Come here, Yao Yiping insulted the Holy One, let me take it down!"
When Yao Yiping heard this, he was shocked and said, "How dare you to frame me falsely? Let's see who dares!" As he said this, he pulled out his sword with a swish. He belonged to the Ministry of Punishment and usually did not carry a sword. Today, for
To restrain Zhu Tianjiang, he specially brought the official sword with him.
Zhu Er stepped forward and used a small grapple and a back throw to force Yao Yiping to the ground. The guards on both sides rushed forward and tied up Yao Yiping.
Tang Qili opened his mouth in surprise, and it took him a long time to react, "No, Zhu Tianjiang has rebelled~!" As he said that, he was about to run out.
The two guards stood at the door, blocking Tang Qili's way. Tang Qili trembled in fright, and looked back at Zhu Tianjiang in horror.
The three fourth princes in the side hall all had gloating smiles on their faces. Who in the capital doesn't know that Zhu Tianjiang's master is the current His Majesty, and what Yao Yiping just said was indeed an insult to His Majesty.
"Zhu Tianjiang, if you dare to frame Shangguan, I will send you to prison." Yao Yiping was beaten to pieces by Zhu Er, and his face was deformed with anger.
"Come here, Zhang Zui!" Zhu Daguan said calmly.
A guard stepped forward, opened his bow left and right, and slapped a few big mouths, which made the corners of Yao Yiping's mouth bleed.
Tang Qili was just a civil servant. He had been an official for so long, but he had never seen such a posture. He was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.
Zhu Daguan seemed not to have seen him, "Yao Yiping, since you are the inspector of the Shutian Mansion's Criminal Department, I would like to ask you what your crime is for insulting the Holy One." Zhu Tianjiang said, taking out the gold pen and playing with it in his hand.
After being slapped a few times, Yao Yiping didn't dare to go any harder. The police officers he led were all outside the door. If he had known that he would be humiliated today, he would have led his men to break in.
"Insulting His Majesty will be punished with slaps and slaps, while severe punishments will result in being sent to the army and sent to the army." Yao Yiping said in an aggrieved voice.
"Then I will tell you the truth. You just insulted the Holy One. Don't you refuse to accept it? Do you know who my teacher is? He is the current Holy One, His Majesty the Emperor Chengwu, who is loved by all people. Although I am out, I still go out every day.
I will recite the good wishes of the Emperor, and pray before going to bed to bless the Emperor with good health and longevity. When you are here, you actually say that my teacher is a misguided disciple and is worse than a pig or a dog. Say it yourself, is that right?
I want to rebel."
Zhu Tianjiang's words made Tang Qili so frightened that his legs became weak. How did he know that this guy was the emperor's student? Furthermore, from the founding of the country to the present, he had never heard of the emperor accepting a disciple.
"Zhu~Zhu Tianjiang, don't talk nonsense, be careful. I will report it to the court and punish you for deceiving the emperor. We have never heard of this since the founding of the country. Do you want to have the nine tribes exterminated?
." Yao Yiping said through gritted teeth, he didn't believe it at all.
"I can testify that Master Zhu Tianjiang is indeed Uncle Chengwu's only student." Yu Gege said and walked out dignifiedly.
The three people who were listening in the side hall just now knew that Yao Yiping had been caught by Zhu Tianjiang. However, Zhu Tianjiang's status as a 'student' did not have a formal decree. Therefore, Yu Gege had to come forward to testify.
Once she comes forward, even if the lawsuit goes to court, Yao Yiping will lose.
Zhu Daguan blinked at Yu Gege proudly. The meaning was very good and the timing was good. However, in Yu Gege's eyes, this blinking action had the taste of teasing. Yu Gege's face turned red and she glared secretly.
He glanced at Zhu Tianjiang.
Yao Yiping was dumbfounded. Yu Gege represented Prince Jing. She came out to testify that this matter was definitely true. Yao Yiping was so angry that he really wanted to slap himself in the mouth. Even if he cursed Zhu Tianjiang, it didn't matter. It was involved.
What does his teacher do?
Zhu Tianjiang said with a face, "Come here, please inform Mr. Zhou that Yao Yiping, the patrol director of the Shutian Mansion's Criminal Department, insulted the Holy Lord and was temporarily detained in the post station. The matter will be dealt with after reporting to the Criminal Department." Zhu Tianjiang said with a face.
After Tian Sheng finished speaking, one of the guards agreed and walked outside with his head held high.
"Master Zhu, I am wronged. I just acted unintentionally." Yao Yiping softened now and quickly begged for mercy.
Zhu Tianjiang curled his lips and waved for someone to take Yao Yiping away. This era is not like the previous life, where everything is subject to legal procedures. In this era, the emperor and I are the biggest law. No matter how big an official you are, as long as you dare to insult
The emperor can be taken down at any time. Unless you are powerful enough to rebel, the emperor will bow to you.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at Tang Qili who was at a loss and asked, "Tang Tongpan, do you have anything else to do?"
"Uh~I~I'm here to ask Mr. Zhu why the tax office's accountants and treasury managers are imprisoned?" Tang Qili came to his senses. He didn't insult the Holy Lord. What was he afraid of? Besides, this is Shutian Mansion, even if it was insulted,
What can happen if you don't admit it?
"Detention? No. Mr. Tang, you don't know that when those accountants mentioned the seriousness of the account books, I was really shocked. I wanted not to check the account books, but then I thought about it.
I came here for this matter, so I had to investigate it. Therefore, I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. I am not afraid of destroying the original account book, but I can still investigate it. I have no choice but to take care of it and let it go.
They copied the account book again. Of course, in order to prevent false accounts and sabotage, I will compare it with the original at any time. Moreover, no one is allowed to approach while they are copying the account book." Zhu Tianjiang explained to Tang Qili seriously
.
"Master Zhu, are you asking all the yamen in Shutian Mansion to stop working for your sake?"
"Hey, let me tell you, it's none of your business whether the government office does something or not."
"You! You Zhu Tianjiang, those few people are in charge of the financial expenditure of all yamen in the government. If they don't do anything, won't all the other yamen starve to death?" Tang Qili glared at Zhu Tianjiang.
"Good guy, is it possible that you, the general magistrate of the tax bureau, are just doing nothing? If you don't have a few bugs, you won't do anything. Tang Qili, I must report this to the Ministry of Revenue. This is called dereliction of duty. Besides, the taxes are from the treasury.
"Money is more important than money from the yamen. I think you are putting the cart before the horse and you are not worthy of being an official at all." Zhu Tianjiang said directly to Tang Qili's face, fearing that the matter would not cause a big fuss.
Tang Qili's face turned yellow and white, he snorted angrily, turned around and left. He had to go and complain quickly, otherwise Tang Qili would hang himself if he didn't kill this abominable Zhu Tianjiang. This is Shutian Mansion, not the capital, Tang Qili
The heart says that Zhou Dazhong has the final say in everything.
As soon as Tang Qili left, the fourth prince and Guo Ying hurriedly walked out. Although these people had a distinguished status, they felt a little nervous. Since the founding of the Dafeng Dynasty, there have been countless rebellions by government officials. I really want to kill Zhou Dazhong.
They're in a hurry, and I'm afraid they won't even be able to get out of the inn.
"Brother Tianjiang, aren't you a little reckless? A little punishment is fine, but Yao Yiping is a fourth-grade official, so it would be a big deal to imprison him." Yu Gege said worriedly.
Zhu Tianjiang's face became serious, "Listen, everyone, the accountants are asking for trouble today, and I figured out an important link. In fact, we are all pawns on the chessboard, and we have no influence on the overall situation. Originally, I thought I had found
Just take away the money and it will be done. Now it seems that the thinking is too simple. Even if the money is placed in front of us, I guarantee that it will not be transported out of Shutian Mansion. Therefore, the only way is to make the matter bigger and force the big shots behind the scenes to confront each other directly.
.If the emperor wins, everyone will be happy, and we will all take credit. Once the emperor bows his head and admits defeat, sisters, this is where I, Zhu Tianjiang, will be buried. Anyway, I will die if I don’t get the money and go back, so it’s better to bet on him and see.
Let’s see if our treasure is right.”
When everyone heard this, they realized that this was indeed what happened. The fourth prince thought about it and felt a little scared.
"Tianxiang, Yao Yiping is in charge of all the police officers in Shutian Mansion. Aren't you afraid that those people will destroy our post station?" the fourth prince said worriedly.
This is not the capital, and the people below do not care about their identities. They only listen to their immediate superiors. Zhu Tianjiang does not have an imperial edict to arrest Yao Yiping, so they can come in and rob people. As long as the fourth prince and Yu Gege are not hurt,
Others will inevitably be beaten up. Once Yao Yiping is rescued, no one can say whether he will be able to bite him back.
"I have no choice but to do this in order to make the matter bigger. Zhu Yi, inform all the brothers and toughen up, don't lose the face of our capital. Zhu Er, inform all our brothers outside immediately, regardless of them
In what capacity, come to support quickly. Damn it, I don't want to be beaten into a pig's head." Zhu Tianjiang began to arrange the situation, preparing for the first big melee since entering Shutian Mansion.
Zhu Eryi was startled, looked at the Fourth Prince, Yu Gege and others, and said hesitantly, "Sir, this is not good, because then everything will be exposed."
Zhu Tianjiang waved his hand, "Go if you are told. What are you talking about?" He pointed at Zhu Yi and the others and said to the fourth prince, "Fourth, these are all from the sticky pole. From now on, everyone will be yourselves."
Of course, you just know it in your heart and don’t say it out loud."
Zhu Yi and the other four grinned as if they had eaten bitter gourds. Except for Mr. Wei Zhan, whose identity was semi-public, everyone else on the sticky rod was a secret within a secret. This guy was so good that he wished he could carve his face with a knife.
They were afraid that people would not know about it. If Lord Wei hadn't given orders to obey Zhu Tianjiang absolutely, they would have killed Zhu Tianjiang on the spot and cleared the door for the sticky pole.
Guo Ying and Yu Gege were both stunned. The three words "sticking to the pole" were too mysterious for the officials' children in the capital. But the fourth prince smiled slightly. Zhu Tianjiang revealed the secret yesterday.
After that, he had already guessed the identities of these four people, which was unusual.
Zhu Tianjiang had no choice. This errand itself was a "dead job". He had already boasted in front of the emperor. If he couldn't get the money to go back, the emperor could only attack him for the sake of face. Even if he found the secret bank,
I was afraid that Zhou Dazhong would also kill him to prevent him from leaving alive. Therefore, Zhu Tianjiang simply made the matter bigger and let the people hiding behind the scenes come out. He was even prepared to lift the sticky pole out of the water, since he couldn't handle it anyway.
He has to die here, no matter what his secret is. With his identity as Guanzhangzhu, Zhou Dazhong might be able to be frightened and he won't dare to do anything to him for the time being.
As expected, as soon as the arresters heard that their master had been beaten and detained, they immediately summoned all the police officers and city patrol officers. Together with the guards from the prison, five to six hundred people rushed to the official's house.
