Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Speaking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Huangyan's mouth: "Master Liu, you should report to the Provincial Taxation Department, and this officer, also report to my superior!"

After saying this, Liu Hongtao Tong Kong couldn't help but shrink back, and his complacent face suddenly became stiff.

The Taxation Department has vertical jurisdiction, while the Shibo Department...is directly under the Imperial Household Department...

After the deathly silence, Liu Hongtao took a deep look at Zhang Huangyan, and threatened nakedly:

"Master Zhang, are you really like this?"

Zhang Huangyan smiled:

"What, Master Liu, are you trying to obstruct the Department of Shipping?"

"Would you like me to tell you what the tax laws and regulations are for officials who obstruct the investigation?"

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, please. You'd better pray. If you can find out, if you can't find out, let's settle these accounts one by one!"

Liu Hongtao laughed so hard that he pointed to the Fortune Firm in front of him.

Zhang Huangyan was surprised: "Master Liu, don't you check the case?"

Liu Hongtao's voice was obviously gloomy and cold: "Does the Taxation Department handle the case, and the Municipal Shipping Department needs to guide it?"

"Of course not."

Zhang Huangyan shook his head repeatedly, and then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he quickly looked at Liu Hongtao, and stuffed the list in his arms into Liu Hongtao's hands.

"I almost forgot. This is the list, and it's all related to smuggling cases. Master Liu, you can see clearly. If you need to handle the case together, remember to inform me so that I can report directly to the imperial court..."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Huangyan ignored Liu Hongtao's already extremely ugly expression, and with a wave of his hand, the tax inspectors of the Shibo Department rushed into the Fortune Firm.

Liu Hongtao left with his troops angrily. Zhang Huangyan, who had already broken the deadlock and stepped into the Fortune Firm, did not show the slightest hint of joy, and his face was already gloomy.

The tax department was established at the beginning of the year, and the Quanzhou tax department was only established in two or three months.

Under such circumstances, according to his prediction, no matter how great the profit chain of smuggling is, it is impossible to completely corrupt the Quanzhou Taxation Department.

As long as the Taxation Department plays a role, it will be possible to find out the truth by checking this eucalyptus.

But now, the head of the Taxation Department of a majestic place immediately stood in front of him...

Blocking the most critical position, with the huge network of smuggling interests, he found out, I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket.

No matter how much he found in these firms, the tax department obstructed him...

In other words, he has ten thousand ways to turn the huge smuggling case into a simple tax evasion case, and this case, as of the few firms he has found, at most, push a few more Scapegoat out.

After all, no matter how clearly the account books are recorded, no idiot will record the source of the goods as smuggling.

At most, the source of the money and money of the goods is unknown, and without the obstruction of the tax department, he can follow the clues and continue to investigate.

However, with the obstruction of the tax department and the collusion of the tax department, with the huge interests of the smuggling network, it is easy to launch several commercial firms as scapegoats, tamper with the account books, and change the source of goods and money from smuggling by sea trade to Commercial transactions on land are nothing more than tax evasion transactions.

A huge smuggling case was easily turned into a tax evasion case involving several commercial firms.

And the tax department can take over everything he wants to check logically, and cut off anything he wants to check directly from the source.

Everything is reasonable and compliant, and whoever checks it will never find any problems.

This Liu Hongtao, it may be said that due to the achievements brought about by the investigation and handling of this tax evasion case, he will skyrocket and give stronger support to this smuggling network...

At this point in his thoughts, Zhang Huangyan suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Although the upright is invincible, the ghosts in the dark can't stop the majestic trend.

But after all, he is only a fifth-rank Shibosi, and the majestic trend he represents is only within the scope of Shibosi.

He, who was in the market for ghost tricks, had no choice.

But in the face of the ghost tricks outside the Shibosi, he has nothing to do after all.

He wants to report, but there is no evidence to report, who can believe it?

Even if he secretly reported to the emperor, he had no evidence, could it be possible to overthrow the irrefutable evidence of tax evasion and sue the powerful for collusion and smuggling just by relying on speculation?

"My lord, the account books have been sealed."

A soldier reported.

Zhang Huangyan silently picked up an account book, opened it and read it. Just as he thought, the account book was nothing more than data anomalies, but where the source of data anomalies was, there was obviously a lot of room for manipulation.

And these, he can't find out, and can't manage.

"Take the account book back to the Shibo Department and seal it up. Without the order of the official, no one can tamper with it!"

"Bring all the accountants of the commercial firms suspected of smuggling back to the Shibo Department for custody."

Zhang Huang's tone was still calm, and his piercing eyes still showed unyielding determination.

He still has hope.

Although the clues here have been cut off, there are still clues in Shibo Division!

It is impossible for the manager and accountant in charge of the commercial bank not to know the inside story.

The officials of the anti-smuggling department who are in contact with the navy and the anti-smuggling guard are an unavoidable part of smuggling!

And those few officials are still under the custody of the Shibo Department.

As long as the mouths of these two groups of people are pried open, there is still something to be touched!

If you can't pry it open, it means stealing the chicken and losing the rice. This crime will probably have to fall on him.

After all, if he couldn't pry it open, it meant that he had no evidence to prove that those people were involved in smuggling.

Without evidence to prove that he was involved in smuggling, there is no way to prove that his actions were done in a hurry to avoid leaking information...

Even if he has some criminal evidence of those officials, it can be completely explained by corruption.

Corruption is nothing to say about rushing to power. No matter how you look at it, his behavior is unjustifiable.

Just violating the procedures, taking down and imprisoning the officials of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping without reporting, is enough for him to eat a pot.

Not to mention, he has completely torn his face with this smuggling network...

……

Chapter 633 Black

"How are they?"

Zhang Huangyan stopped outside the prison of the Shibo Department.

"Their family members wanted to visit. According to the adults' orders, no one was allowed to go in. The catering staff also checked in person..."

Huang Ke, the commander of the tax inspection battalion, spoke out quickly.

Zhang Huangyan nodded, although the worry in his heart dissipated a lot.

At least, although the ghostly tricks in the dark are powerful, they did not corrupt all of them after all, at most a small number of people were corrupted.

The same is true for the Municipal Shipbuilding Department, so the situation of the Taxation Department should not be too bad.

No matter how reckless Liu Hongtao was, he still had to abide by the basic order, and he didn't dare to be blatant.

In this way, things still have room for turning around.

"Did anything come out of the trial?"

Zhang Huangyan asked again.

"The mouth is too rigid, and I don't want to say anything."

Huang Ke replied, hesitated for a while, and said, "My lord, we can't be locked up for too long, we don't have the right to interrogate..."

Zhang Huang was speechless, not only did he not have the right to interrogate, he didn't even have the right to arrest him!

According to the system of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping, the issues of the internal officials of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping can only be reported to the superior Municipal Bureau of Shipping for review, and the Municipal Bureau of Shipping has no such right at all.

"I have already sent someone to report to the General Department of Shipbuilding. I will close it temporarily. I will take care of other problems!"

Zhang Huangyan shook his head, took a step, and walked into the prison room.

Although the confinement room of the Shibo Division is named for imprisonment, in fact, it is not much different from the prisons in the local prefectures and counties. Even, in terms of security, it is much stricter than the prisons in the local prefectures and counties.

After all, in local prefectures and counties, most of the people's livelihood is trivial throughout the year, and the Municipal Shipping Department, which is in charge of maritime trade tariffs, arrests serious smuggling offenders.

And smuggling, in Daheng, is a serious crime comparable to murder!

Those who dare to participate in it, in addition to powerful and powerful, are left with viciousness and viciousness.

Entering from the gate, there is a post at three steps, and a sentry at five steps. The patrolling soldiers are all armed with long knives and short guns, and are heavily guarded.

Before reaching the dungeon, the sound of wailing and screaming could be heard clearly. Obviously, in this dungeon, some prisoners were being interrogated by torture.

Of all these, Zhang Huangyan is of course clear. He cannot interrogate several officials by torture, but no matter what the final result is for the accountants of those commercial firms, it is impossible to get rid of their crimes!

Whether it is tax evasion or smuggling, it is a felony!

"grown ups!"

Seeing Zhang Huangyan coming, the tortured man stopped quickly and bowed to Zhang Huangyan.

Looking at the bloody scene of torture, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but frowned, but soon, this unbearable feeling was suppressed.

Even if someone is innocent, there is also something hateful about those who help the tyrant and abuse him.

After waving his hand to signal the man to continue the torture, Zhang Huangyan looked at the interrogation statement on the table.

With just one glance, Zhang Huangyan frowned deeply.

As he expected, he really pleaded guilty to tax evasion and false accounts, but insisted that he did not smuggle!

ta ta ta ......

Without even waiting for Zhang Huangyan to think about it, the sound of hurried footsteps came into the dungeon through the stairs of the dungeon, and Huang Ke, the commander of the tax inspection battalion, came in a hurry and whispered in Zhang Huangyan's ear: "My lord, the tax department is here. I'm sorry, they said they found evidence of tax evasion by Hongyun Trading Company and Changhe Trading Company, and they want to take over the criminals we caught..."

Zhang Huangyan clenched his fingers tightly, his eyes filled with unspeakable anger!

Lawless!

This is beyond lawlessness!

He fully believed that if the local government and county had no jurisdiction over the Shibosi, with such lawlessness, the order of release might have come as soon as he arrested him!

Relying on the power of the imperial court, acting recklessly, lawlessly, turning black and white!

Should be caught, should be killed!

Amidst the rage, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but feel a deep sense of powerlessness. His authority was only limited to the Shibo Division, and what he could do was only within the Shibo Division.

In the face of corruption beyond his authority, he has nothing to do!

"You ask the tax department to send the evidence first, and the officer will review it!"

"Try to delay the time first!"

Zhang Huangyan spoke in a low voice, and looked around the scene of the interrogation, as well as the ghosts and prisoners of the Shibo Department held in the cell, his expression seemed so gloomy that he was about to drip.

He knew that even if the trial continued, it was unlikely that anything useful would be found.

After all, no one is a fool.

To confess the crime of smuggling is to be dealt with by the Shibo Department, whether it is to ransack the house and distribute it, or behead it for public display, all in his mind, and there will be no other possibility.

And in this way, the dignitaries behind will be angered, and the blood of their relatives will suffer disaster.

But only confessing the crime of tax evasion, the case must be handed over to the tax department for handling.

The tax department is their own people.

As long as you hold on for a few days, a dead end will become a living end.

How to choose, how to choose, is obviously very clear.

In this way, in just a few days, I am afraid that the hope of finding out what I want is extremely slim.

"Continue the interrogation, pull them all out, interrogate one by one, don't stop without the order of the officer!"

Zhang Huangyan's face was ashen, and his voice was extremely cold and piercing.

Following Zhang Huangyan's order, the punishment became more and more cruel, and the wailing in the dungeon became more piercing, but... the hope became more and more elusive.

Outside the dungeon, just a few days ago, Liu Hongtao, Director of the Taxation Department, was forced to leave, but now sat at the gate of the dungeon in obvious comfort.

It's just that, amidst the comfort, there is a faint gloom that is hard to dissipate, but it is also deeply rooted.

Up to now, he is not worried about how things will end.
