On the third day after the imperial court's verdict, Liu Ping paid all the fines to the imperial court and redeemed all the 18 servants. He did not dare not to redeem them, because they were helping him take the blame, and if he did not redeem them, the servants would definitely expose Liu Ping.
But they are not panicking because they believe that time is still on their side.
How much can you check?
This reversal of public opinion also made the Tax Commissioner recognized by more people. Facts have proved that the Tax Commissioner is very rule-abiding. It does not mean that they use siege weapons against every household. As long as you do not resist, they will not resort to violence.
But many people have raised questions. Your tax commissioner said it was a random check, so how come every household was selected from the gentry and landlords? Is this a random check?
Also, aren't you going to collect taxes from the bandits?
I didn't see any movement from you guys!
But soon, the movement came.
......
"Brother, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
...
...
"Don't you know that Chen Xiaoer has been captured?"
"Chen Xiaoer has been wanted for eight years?"
"That's Chen Xiaoer... He's currently being escorted to the Taxation Department."
"Tax Commissioner?"
"It seems that Chen Xiaoer refused to declare and was caught by the tax commissioner for random inspection."
"ah?"
......
That afternoon, a large number of people were seen rushing to Bianhe Street, and their target was a prison van.
"You beast! You damned beast!"
"You bastard, give me back my daughter, give me back my daughter."
"Sir, you must torture the beast to death."
......
But the people on both sides angrily threw stones and dirt at the people in the prison car.
The people in the prison van held their heads and huddled in a corner.
This man's name is Chen Xiaoer, and he is a wanted criminal. He often kidnaps and sells women in the city of Bianjing, and the people of Bianjing hate him to the core.
This made the imperial court very embarrassed. Since Chen Xiaoer was elusive and hid in the interconnected channels, the imperial court's several attempts to capture him were in vain.
But Chen Xiaoer never expected that he would be arrested for tax evasion. I am a death row prisoner and I still have to pay taxes.
What a psycho!
When Chen Xiaoer was arrested, he immediately became depressed when he heard the charge.
I've committed so many evil things, and you actually say that I refused to declare my property.
Who are you looking down on?
When passing by a restaurant, they saw three or five white-haired old men standing there. They were Wen Yanbo, Sima Guang and others.
Lu Gong couldn't help but exclaimed: "This tax commissioner is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. Chen Xiaoer, who has been wanted by the government for eight years, was actually captured by them."
Sima Guang said: "It is said that the tax bureau found out that Chen Xiaoer was hiding in the lower channels to engage in ** business, concealing his income of thousands of guan, and refusing to declare his finances."
Liu Shu said, "Chen Xiaoer owes several lives, so he will definitely not file tax returns."
"But after today, that may not be the case."
Wen Yanbo said: "It seems that the tax commissioner was not exaggerating at the beginning. They really have the ability to collect taxes from those bandits."
......
Under a big willow tree, there were two old men standing. They were Zhao Wenzhen and Xie Yun.
"Governor Zhao, the tax commissioner actually arrested Chen Xiaoer. The people will definitely praise them highly. We have to be more restrained recently."
"Um."
Zhao Wenzheng nodded, "Anyway, if they find out, we'll just accept the punishment. They can't outlast us."
As he spoke, he frowned again, "How come the tax bureau has suddenly become so powerful? They are still checking our taxes here, but they arrested Chen Xiaoer over there. Even the Imperial City Bureau may not have such means."
Xie Yun sighed: "I have a bad feeling now!"
.......
Police station.
"Yanei, why don't you give me any news on such a big matter as arresting Chen Xiaoer?"
Fu Shichun looked at Cao Dongdong very depressedly.
This piece of news is extremely explosive. If the inside story could be known, his erotic newspaper would surely be a big seller again.
You can publish special topics.
Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "I haven't received any news either. Also, don't bother me now. I'm depressed."
Fu Shichun asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Cao Dongdong said depressedly: "A wanted criminal like Chen Xiaoer was not caught by our Royal Police, but by the tax police. How embarrassing for our Royal Police."
At this moment, a police officer entered the house and said, "Deputy Superintendent, everyone is here."
Cao Dongdong said: "I have to go to a meeting, so I won't talk to you anymore."
Fu Shichun asked hurriedly: "What are you going to do?"
Cao Dongdong looked at Fu Shichun suspiciously.
Fu Shichun immediately said, "You don't believe me either, I will keep it a secret."
Cao Dongdong whispered, "I plan to send the Royal Police to capture all the evil people hiding in the lower channels. You should know that Chen Xiaoer has been hiding there all along, but we can never catch him. We, the Royal Police, have to do something, but we can't let the tax police outsmart us."
Fu Shichun hurriedly pulled him and said, "Don't be impulsive. Right now, there is a lot of panic in the channel. If you go to check now, you may not catch anyone. You will only be laughed at. Let's discuss it after Xiao Ma comes back."
.......
As the Commissioner of Taxation arrested Chen Xiaoer, the prestige of the tax police increased greatly, and even ordinary citizens did not dare to harbor any hope.
They even don't let go of the taxes of a super wanted criminal like Chen Xiaoer. They are simply a bunch of perverts. How can they let us go?
Procuratorate.
"Prosecutor Xu, this is Chen Xiaoer's income last year. He did not declare it. This is enough to convict them."
Li He handed a confession to Xu Zun with an expressionless face.
After Xu Zun finished reading, he found that none of the income was legal. He said, "Based on the income sources listed above, it is enough to sentence Chen Xiaoer to death. Is it necessary to sue him for refusing to declare it?"
Li He said: "If we don't sue for this crime, how can we pay the tax?"
"That's true."
Xu Zun smiled and nodded: "Okay."
The tax commissioner arrests people for taxes. If you don't prosecute them, what will happen to the taxes?
All the collected property must be confiscated!
......
Zhang family, new house.
In the garden, Zhang Fei was seen watering the flowers with a watering can.
Li Bao stood aside and said with emotion: "In order to capture Chen Xiaoer, we spent a whole year, spent more than 2,000 strings of cash, and lost a life. Fortunately, it was worth it. Now the reputation of our tax commissioner has greatly increased, and no one dares to underestimate us anymore."
In fact, Li Bao and his group are the real tax commissioners. They had planned for this long ago. Since they called for levying taxes on bandits, they had to prove it with facts, and the wanted criminal Chen Xiaoer was their first target.
“No pain, no gain.”
Zhang Fei stood up and raised the ladle in his hand.
Li Bao coughed, "But...but this threat may be too great."
Zhang Fei asked in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Li Bao chuckled, "You know, we know a lot of outlaws. They basically have illegal income, selling contraband salt and tea. Now they are all scared and want to avoid being tracked down by the tax commissioner, but...but if they come to file taxes, they will be caught in a trap. If you can help me think of a way, we can also get to know more people through this."
Zhang Fei thought for a while, "Go and tell the government to arrange a house for us, and then prepare some land. We can use the method of reselling the land to launder their money into legal income."
Li Bao was startled and said, "This is a good idea."
"But I still need to think about this matter. Should I arrange another bookstore to help them with the application? But it shouldn't be a big problem. It's okay for you to agree to them first."
"OK."
"By the way, has Chen Xiaoer's income statement been submitted to the procuratorate?" Zhang Fei suddenly asked.
"I have already paid."
Li Bao nodded and asked, "I've also seen that income statement. It's very ordinary. What's the secret behind it?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said, “I have observed that the procuratorate is not sensitive to accounts. In fact, I gave a hint in Qin Biao’s accounts, but unfortunately they didn’t care.
Chen Xiaoer's livelihood is shocking and involves many criminal cases. The procuratorate will definitely carefully analyze the income. I want to use this to wake them up."
Li Bao said: "Why don't we just write it down directly."
Zhang Fei said: "That's too targeted. Our tax department just wants money so that those people won't fight us to death. Therefore, we only need to care about their income. As for whether the income is illegal, this is not within the jurisdiction of the tax department. This is the responsibility of the procuratorate. They are not yet proficient, so we have to help them."
Li Bao laughed and said, "The procuratorate is targeting us everywhere, so we have to help them."
Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Brother Bao can also understand that we want the procuratorate to help us share the firepower."
Li Bao laughed and asked, "So what should we do next?"
Zhang Fei asked: "How many households do we have left?"
Li Bao said: "We have only arrested a few households, but we still have 40 to 50 households."
"After these two cases, I believe they will not dare to act rashly again. Let's see how much our maces can hit them on the head."
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Fei said, "First, arrest five households and put Xu Yu in jail to test the reaction of the procuratorate. If they start to notice that there may be problems with the source of income, don't wait for them to investigate it clearly. Arrest five more households immediately and put Wang Hongjin in jail."
Li Bao nodded and said, "I understand."
......
On the seventh day after Chen Xiaoer was arrested, the Commissioner of Taxation suddenly took action again. This time he divided his forces into five groups and seized five large landowners in one fell swoop.
This time there was really no resistance.
When the big landowners saw the tax police coming, they opened the door very politely, invited them in, and actively cooperated with the tax police and the tax commissioner to be interrogated.
After these two incidents, they began to trust the tax commissioner more. He did not hit or scold them. He just asked about the situation and allowed their spies to accompany him, and even helped them deal with the matter directly.
Very easy.
But they all said that this was the first time they had encountered this kind of self-declaration and they were not very familiar with it. Moreover, they had too much wealth and they were not clear about it. They only understood it recently and are preparing to pay the tax.
It is not difficult to find that they are not panicked at all, but rather somewhat excited.
Because before they checked one household at a time, but this time they checked five households in a row, which only proves that the tax commissioner is really anxious.
It will take a long time to find out.
The key is that this has to be prosecuted by the procuratorate and then go to court. Only after the presiding judge makes a ruling will they pay the fine.
This process will take at least a week no matter how fast it is.
It was already dark, and other government offices were closed, but candles were lit in the procuratorate.
"I had nothing to do before, but now I am so busy that I don't even have time to drink a sip of water."
Qi Ji raised his head and complained while moving his neck.
A prosecutor beside him also said: "The tax commissioner has it easy, all he does is arrest people, but they leave all this work to us."
Complaints came one after another.
Everyone knew that they were checking each household one by one, but now they were checking five households at once, and the procuratorate was so busy that it was dizzy.
Xu Zun also noticed that everyone was not in the mood to work. Indeed, they had not rested during this period of time, so he said, "Alright! Let's stop here today and go back and rest first."
Everyone got up and said goodbye as if they had been pardoned, and left faster than anyone else.
Xu Zun was also preparing to pack up and go home to do some more work, when he suddenly discovered that Su Che was still sitting on the chair, concentrating on reading the documents. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Ziyou! Ziyou!"
After calling out twice and getting no response, Xu Zun couldn't help but walk over, "Ziyou!"
"ah?"
Su Zhe was startled, and looking around, he found that there was no one around, "Why did everyone leave?"
Xu Zun smiled and said, "I see everyone is tired, and there is no way these things will be finished today, so I asked them to go back and rest. What are you looking at so intently?"
Su Che hesitated for a moment before saying, "Inspector Xu, I found some problems with these accounts."
Xu Zun said: "What's the problem?"
Su Zhe flipped through the table and took out a document. "This is Xu Yu's income statement. Several of the incomes come from a small shop called Chen Noodles in the west of the city."
"Chen Mian?"
Xu Zun frowned slightly and said, "This name seems familiar."
Su Zhe said, "Does Chief Prosecutor Xu still remember that Chen Xiaoer once borrowed a small shop in the city to sell illegal salt?"
Xu Zun suddenly came to his senses: "Yes! Now I remember, the name of that store is Chen Noodles."
Su Zhe said: "We have been secretly investigating that store. On the surface, that store sells flour, but secretly sells private salt. Based on Xu Yu's income, it doesn't seem like the income comes from flour."
Xu Zun said: "You mean Xu Yu is engaged in the illegal salt trafficking."
Su Zhe nodded and said, "It's very likely."
Xu Zun frowned and asked tentatively: "What are you going to do?"
Su Che said: "The tax department only cares about the exemption tax. They don't care whether the income is legal or not. Therefore, this should be our responsibility, but we seem to have ignored this point before."
They had also been led into a ditch by the tax commissioner before, and they followed the tax commissioner during the tax inspection.
But Chen Xiaoer suddenly made them realize that the tax commissioner didn't care whether Chen Xiaoer broke the law or not, he only cared about tax revenue.
Xu Zun nodded and said, "You are right. We must investigate this. However, Xu Yu's brother seems to be an official in the Third Division and is not someone we can easily mess with. We have to proceed in secret and not alert the enemy."
