I feel so dizzy!

In this extreme tug of war, if one feels dizzy, it would be worth a fortune!

It may not be enough to turn the tide of the battle, but it can protect teammates and gain valuable defensive opportunities.

The moment Lu Gong slammed the gavel, many officials present felt a sense of relief!

Han Qi, Fu Bi, Wen Yanbo and others looked at them helplessly, and then left Kaifeng Prefecture in a low-key manner.

The matter is out of their control. If such a strange thing happens and the emperor wants to investigate, who dares to stop him?

It can be said that this case is already developing in an unpredictable direction.

This is really a self-defeating situation.

All the judges in Kaifeng Prefecture felt like Alexander!

It was past noon, but they did not feel hungry. They sat in the hall, looking at each other.

...

...

"Prefect Lu, this matter is not our responsibility, just report it."

Li Kai said to Lu Gong nervously.

Cen Yuanli, Yu Zaishen and other judges also nodded.

Of course, they were referring to the matter of the account books of the imperial court, which was a really big deal.

The genuine tax bills from two years ago actually matched the account books from a few years ago.

This is really a weird thing.

In fact, the falsification of the account books is secondary. The key lies in the tax bills.

For the imperial court, tax notes were real money.

Therefore, the imperial court has always attached great importance to this. The whole process is subject to mutual supervision by multiple parties. After collecting taxes every year, the tax stamps must be destroyed immediately. As a result, people easily came up with so many real tax banknotes.

What a blow this would be to the tax code.

Tax laws are the foundation of a country.

Lu Gong said: "Of course I will report this matter to the government, and the government will make the final decision. But in this case, if Zhang San raises doubts, we have the responsibility to investigate the matter."

Li Kai and Cen Yuanli looked at each other.

There are a hundred more behind this one, how can you not have doubts?

How could Zhang San be merciful and let them go?

He asked for 500,000 strings of cash just by opening his mouth.

Du Shaojing originally thought that if he pleaded guilty, he would only have to pay a small fine.

The result is billions of points.

As the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

Now I really don’t know which direction the case will develop.

Anything can happen.

Shen Mansion.

As soon as he entered the house, Shen Huaixiao opened his eyes and stood up.

Cao Han panted slightly and said, "It's fortunate that Brother Shen was smart just now, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!"

He was so nervous just now that he forgot to breathe.

Du Xiu was like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously spreading his hands and saying, "The question is what should we do now? We are to blame for the account book issue!"

Du Shaojing is his relative, and he also has a share in Du Shaojing's land. How can he not be anxious?

Shen Huaixiao stamped his feet fiercely, "How on earth do they do things? Can't they even distinguish the accounts from a few years ago?"

Tang Ji said: "The situation was so urgent at the time, who would have thought that the other party had already tampered with the account book? This is a trap waiting for us to fall into. It is impossible to guard against it!"

Du Xiu sighed: "Let's not talk about this for now. What should we do now?"... Cao Han pondered and said: "Now the emperor has the leverage in his hands, and the court is already in a state of panic. If the emperor makes any move, I'm afraid they will do the same as they did to Wang Wenshan and let you, Brother Chen, take the blame."

After hearing this, Shen Huaixiao bulged his eyes and asked, "Are you asking me to risk my life?"

This crime is much more terrifying than Wang Hong's. It is either hell or Qiongzhou.

He didn't dare to resist.

Cao Han said: "Besides this, we only have one way to choose."

Shen Huaixiao asked hurriedly: "What is it?"

Cao Han said: "Let's solve it through litigation."

Tang Ji sighed bitterly, "Why are we still fighting? Those people may not even attend the court. If one goes up, one dies."

Cao Han said, "Just now in the court, Zhang San mentioned several times that he reserved the right to pursue criminal responsibility. This shows that he also believes that, so far, this is just a civil lawsuit. Since it is a civil lawsuit, reconciliation is also a means."

Having said this, he paused for a moment and said very reluctantly: "Now, we can only ask Zhang San to let us go."

Shen Huaixiao said without hesitation: "If he is willing, it would be okay to kneel down and beg him."

Staying alive is the key.

Bian Jing Law Firm.

"Master Wang, why are you looking at me?"

Zhang Fei had just returned to the office and hadn't even had a sip of tea when Wang Anshi rushed in hurriedly, again staring at him without saying a word.

Wang Anshi said, "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. You asked for 500,000 guan right away. I was scared to death by you."

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Now, Grand Secretary Wang should not question that the 10,000 guan reward is purely a friendship price."

Wang Anshi laughed and said, "If you can really claim 500,000 strings of cash from Du Shaojing, then the reward of 10,000 strings of cash is really too little. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life. Haha."

Zhang Fei raised his lips and said, "Since I dare to claim 500,000 strings of cash, I can't pay a penny less."

"really?"

Wang Anshi frowned and said, "But if they do this, they will die anyway. I'm afraid they will be driven to desperate measures."

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "The 500,000 strings of cash are to be borne by the 108 people. If the burden is evenly distributed, each person will only have 5,000 strings of cash. Considering their wealth, there is no need for them to do anything desperate."

"I see." Wang Anshi laughed, "That's pretty much what I predicted."

But then he asked again: "But didn't you submit a bunch of claims to Lu Gongzhe?"

Zhang Fei chuckled and said, "Doesn't Grand Secretary Wang understand this tactic of asking for a sky-high price and paying back on the spot? As for the evidence, except for the 10,000 strings of cash which is set in stone, all the other grounds have loopholes, and the other party has the opportunity to deny it. If we fight to the end, it will probably take one or two years, and there are more than a hundred people behind. If each one demands compensation in this way, it will take at least ten years."

"A lawsuit lasted ten years."

Wang Anshi smiled and shook his head. "Forget it. What are you going to do next?"

Zhang Fei said: "Now the other party has only one choice, which is to reconcile with me. In this case, they must pay the full tax for those tenant farmers." ... Wang Anshi shook his head and said: "That was the condition before. Now we have such a big advantage. Just paying a little tax is too cheap for them."

Zhang Fei asked, "What is the plan of Grand Secretary Wang?"

Wang Anshi said: "We must force them to change the contract with the tenants to ensure that the tenants no longer bear any taxes in the contract."

Once this change was made, he could petition the emperor to pass legislation to ensure that land taxes would no longer be borne by tenant farmers.

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "I don't think it will be a big problem."

Wang Anshi hesitated for a moment and said, "Didn't you just mention that we should ask for a high price and pay it back on the spot?"

Zhang Fei nodded.

Wang Anshi said: "Then don't ask for 500,000 strings of cash first, ask for 5,0 ... strings of cash first."

Zhang Fei looked at him puzzledly.

Wang Anshi said: "The extra 4.5 million strings of cash will be used to offset the interest on the tenants and slaves."

Zhang Fei hesitated for a moment and said, "Now they are just meat on the chopping board. I think there should be no problem."

Wang Anshi thought about it again and said, "Forget it, this is all. If I ask for more, I'm afraid they won't obey me."

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he couldn't get everything he wanted through a lawsuit.

If a landlord is asked to pay 500,000 strings of cash as compensation, all landlords in the world will rebel. Asking them for 500,000 strings of cash is no different from killing them. They racked their brains to extract blood from the tenants for ten years, and in the end, you took it all away from them. No one can accept this.

Most of these landlords were royal relatives and literati, and they had considerable influence, power and status.

At that time, they will definitely submit a petition to object to the compensation.

The emperor still had to compromise.

Why go to that step? After all, we will meet each other sooner or later.

Li family.

"ah!"

All I heard was a shrill scream.

"Five hundred thousand strings of cash! My five hundred thousand strings of cash! My land! My money!"

Du Shaojing suddenly sat up, his face ferocious, his teeth bared, and he shouted hysterically.

"Brother Du!"

"Mr. Du!"

Hearing a few shouts, Du Shaojing turned his head and saw Li Guozhong and others standing by the bed, looking at him with concern. He swallowed and asked, "Where is this?"

Li Guozhong hurriedly said: "This is my home."

But he also found it funny in his heart that this dignified Mr. Du was actually scared like this.

"Your home?"

Du Shaojing blinked, then suddenly rushed towards Li Guozhong, pulling his sleeve with one hand, "Did we win?"

Li Guozhong frowned slightly and said, "The verdict has not yet been made, but the situation is very unfavorable to us."

Du Shaojing's body softened, he loosened his grip, and suddenly slapped the bed in annoyance, "Oh! If we had known this would happen, we would have paid the tax. Five hundred thousand strings of cash, it would be better to just kill me."

A large landowner named Xiong Ming nearby asked, "Captain Li, is this lawsuit really over?"

Although the situation was not favorable to them, Li Lei and his team won a lot of their trust by arguing in court.

If it were someone else, they would probably be so scared that they wouldn't be able to run away.

This professionalism is worthy of praise.

Li Guozhong thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Now the other party has solid evidence, so we are in a passive position. We will definitely not win if we fight."... As soon as these words came out, more than ten landlords in the room all showed despair on their faces.

It is indeed not Li Guozhong and his men's fault. If anyone should be blamed, it should be those useless people in the court. They could even copy the account books incorrectly. This is truly incredible. They even suspected that those officials were colluding to cheat them.

Li Guozhong changed the subject and said, "But fifty strings of cash is absolutely impossible."

When Du Shaojing heard this, hope ignited in his heart, "Does Li Xingshou have any ideas?"

Li Guozhong frowned and said, "If we want to save it, there is only one way."

Du Shaojing asked: "What method?"

"The net is broken and the fish is dead."

"A dead end?"

Everyone looked at each other, this sounded scary.

Li Guozhong said, "Don't worry, I was just bluffing and trying to scare the other side. If we really talk about tax evasion, which of the royal family members and officials in the court are innocent? Let's not talk about the many, just take the Xiangguo Temple for example, the profits they earn every year, not a single penny is legal."

Du Shaojing nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, there are many people who pay less tax than me."

Li Guozhong said: "We can use this as an excuse to negotiate with Zhang San. If Zhang San insists on doing this, then we will go all out and bring in Xiangguo Temple and the royal family, so that Zhang San will not be able to win this battle."

"Just do it."

Du Shaojing waved his hands and said, "At worst, we can die together."

Asking him to pay 500,000 strings of cash would be more painful than killing him.

But Xiong Ming and others still seemed very hesitant.

They are not at the top of the food chain. Once they do this, they will offend everyone above them and basically have no way to survive. Perhaps these 108 people can only join the Liangshan bandits.

Xiong Ming asked, "Does Li Xingshou really have the confidence to force the other party to make concessions?"

Li Guozhong nodded and added: "But the tenant farmers may still be unable to escape the tax. After all, that is their purpose!"

Xiong Ming sighed: "As long as we can reach an agreement, we are willing to help them pay the taxes for not only the tenant farmers but also the tenant slaves."

Du Shaojing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Compared to that, it was nothing.

Dong Dong Dong!

A knock on the door interrupted his conversation.

Li Guozhong asked, "What's the matter?"

The person outside the door replied, "Master, Chief Liu is here."

Li Guozhong hurriedly said, "Please come in quickly."

The door opened and a short and fat middle-aged man walked in. His name was Liu Qiu and he was the head of the warehouse department of the Transportation Department. Now people from the three departments did not dare to come here.

Liu Qi asked, "Li Xingshou, what are you going to do?"

Li Guozhong hesitated for a moment and said, "We plan to negotiate with Zhang San to see if we can achieve a settlement."

Liu Qie's face lit up: "That's what the higher-ups mean, are you sure?"

Li Guozhong nodded.
