Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Ning seemed to be hesitating, and he suddenly asked: "Is there a tax to be paid? I heard that the imperial court promulgated a tax exemption policy for Hebei?"

"The tax exemption policy of the imperial court is slightly different in different places in Hebei. Julu has to pay taxes, but because Zhao officials are willing to do tea business with us, part of it can be exempted."

Zhao Ning said: "But what I heard in Gyeonggi is that Hebei is completely exempt from taxation. Is it true that Xinde Prefecture is not exempt?"

Liu Wangxun said: "This is nothing but fiction!"

"Xinde Mansion is inevitable?"

"Inevitable."

Wang Mazi smiled and said, "Officer Zhao, now is the time of war, as you have seen, the court must collect taxes to fight wars!"

Zhao Ning said quickly: "Everyone, please forgive me. I am a foreigner and I don't know the rules here. I just have doubts in my heart, so I have to ask."

"It's easy to talk, easy to talk, just ask Officer Zhao if you have any doubts."

"Is the tax really unavoidable?"

Liu Wangxun said: "It's really unavoidable, we have never received such a government order."

Liu Wangxun is Cao Canjun, a scholar of Xinde Prefecture.

What kind of officer is a soldier who joins the army?

He is an official of Liucao in the magistrate's yamen, and an official in charge of lawsuits such as marriage, land, and fights.

He said that he had never received such a government order, and that basically the current search for taxes has nothing to do with the prefect of Sindh Prefecture.

The original governing mansion of Hebei West Road was in Zhending Mansion. In the first year of Jingkang, Zhending Mansion fell, and now the governing mansion happens to be in Xinde Mansion.

The level of the prefect of Sindh Prefecture is basically equivalent to that of a deputy transshipment envoy.

Cao Canjun, a scholar of the Sindh Prefecture, is only half a level lower than the average prefect.

In this way, this is not the case in Julu County.

Zhao Ning said again: "This is a big matter, please think twice."

"What concerns does Officer Zhao have?"

"I had [-] catties of tea, but..."

"Just what?"

"Gingji Road is very strict in field inspection, my servant..."

"How can we dispel Officer Zhao's concerns?"

Zhao Ning suddenly said: "With the help of you and others, I will naturally have no worries in my heart!"

The three of them looked confused, but as soon as Zhao Ning said this, the three people brought in immediately started to fight.

As soon as the servants at the door heard the commotion inside, the first person who had just rushed in was kicked out by Jing Chao.

People outside rushed in when they heard the roar inside.

Wang Rende couldn't react at all. He didn't expect that someone would dare to do something in the yamen. Is this to fight against the court?

Is this to rebel?

While he was in a daze, Zhao Ning picked up the plate on the table and drew it towards Wang Rende.

When the servants outside heard the commotion inside, they rushed in hastily. Before they could make a move, they were knocked down by the imperial guards.

Soon, several people in the house were detained, and the government officials outside were also beaten so that they did not dare to move.

Wang Rende beat and scolded: "You even dare to beat the officials ordered by the court. You are going to rebel. Aren't you afraid of punishing the nine clans!"

Jing Chao moved a chair to Zhao Ning, and Zhao Ning sat down again.

Jing Chao handed over the water, Zhao Ning took a sip, and then slowly said: "Zhu Jiu Clan?"

"Yes! Execute the Nine Clans!" Liu Wangxun didn't expect that the three people brought in by this official Zhao would be so ruthless, let alone that official Zhao dared to beat the court officials.

"My surname is Zhao. I am Cao Canjun, a member of the Xinde Prefecture. I am an official of the imperial court. If you dare to touch me, you are rebelling!"

Zhao Ning was too lazy to talk nonsense, pointed to Wang Rende, the magistrate of Julu County, and said to Jing Chao: "Chop off his head."

Chapter 291 Go to Xingzhou to clean up the pot (first update)

Jing Chao drew his saber and chopped it down.

Wang Rende's pupils contracted, and he was still in astonishment. Suddenly, his head rushed up.

Blood sprayed out, splashing Liu Wangxun's face.

Liu Wangxun could still feel the warmth of the blood, he was frightened silly.

Wang Mazi was also shocked.

Just now they were sitting together having a good meal, but this officer Zhao suddenly violently murdered?

Wang Rende's fat head fell to the ground and rolled around a few times, his hair and beard were covered with blood and stuck together.

You can also vaguely see Wang Rende's eyes widened under the messy hair, as if he was still thinking about why his head fell to the ground.

Dozens of imperial guards outside had already controlled the Yamen and rushed in one after another.

Zhao Ning sat there, dark and gloomy.

Only then did Liu Wangxun come to his senses, and quickly said, "The hero, spare your life! The hero, spare your life!"

Liu Wangxun was brought up in front of Zhao Ning like a chicken.

Zhao Ning said in a cold tone: "Let me ask you, do you know about the ten-year tax exemption in Hebei?"

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Wangxun's forehead, and his whole body was shaking with fright.

"Say!" Zhao Ning slammed his fist on the table. With a bang, the table trembled.

But he didn't feel it at all, the anger in his heart was like a raging sea.

Liu Wangxun was so frightened that he quickly kowtowed, but he still said stubbornly: "Hero, I have never heard of such a ten-year tax exemption! Forgive me, man, I came from Xingzhou. What kind of enmity do you have with Wang Rende? It is between you two." private matter, I..."

"To shut up!"

Liu Wangxun wanted to continue talking, but was forcibly interrupted by Zhao Ning.

He really didn't have the patience to continue talking to these people.

"Hit! Hit until he says so!"

Jing Chao dragged Liu Wangxun aside, then put Liu Wangxun's hand on the table, and took out a small hammer from behind, which was Tie Guduo.

The hammer went down and hit Liu Wangxun's back firmly.

With a click, the back of his hand instantly turned crimson, and Liu Wangxun let out a heart-piercing wail.

He wanted to struggle hard, but his body was held down by several people.

Zhao Ning asked again: "Is there any tax exemption for ten years?"

This time, Liu Wangxun tremblingly said: "Yes! Yes! There is a ten-year tax exemption! Please stop beating me!"

"Then why does Julu County extort so much from the common people who dig three feet of land?"

"This……"

"Say!"

Liu Wangxun said: "This is Wang Rende's idea, it has nothing to do with me, this is his jurisdiction!"

"I asked you before, whether Hebei is exempt from taxes, you said yes, but now you say it is his jurisdiction?"

"This... This is the meaning of the higher authorities." Liu Wangxun quickly threw the pot on the top, "Hero, this is what the magistrate of Sindh Prefecture said, and it has nothing to do with me. I am also following orders, hero, spare me!"

"The magistrate of Sindh prefecture said that there is no tax exemption?"

"Yes, the magistrate said, if you want to find you, you should go to the magistrate!" Liu Wangxun guessed that this group of people is probably the same as Fang La back then, they are rebels, otherwise how dare they even conquer the county government and even kill the county magistrate?

Although Julu County is a small county, and there are at most forty people in the county government of a small county, even the big local gentry, who have raised hundreds of customers, dare not do anything to the county government.

Taking action against the county government means attacking the court, and taking action against His Majesty the current emperor is a rebellion and annihilation of the clan!

But now this group of people not only smashed the county government office, but also chopped off the magistrate's head without hesitation, what if it wasn't a traitor!

Liu Wangxun trembled with pain, he forced himself to calm down: If he wants to survive in the hands of these people, he must hold them back.

"The magistrate of Xinde Prefecture is Zhang Juxian?"

"Yes, it is Zhang Zhifu. If you are dissatisfied, you can go to Zhang Zhifu to reason."

Seemingly afraid that Zhao Ning would not want to go to Zhang Juxian, Liu Wangxun hurriedly said again: "I can take you to Zhang Zhifu. If you have any complaints, you can tell him, and he will deal with it fairly."

"Okay, let's do this, go see Zhang Juxian."

Zhao Ning stood up, pointed at Wang Mazi, and said to Jing Chao, "It's cut off, and the head is hung at the gate of the county government office together."

Wang Mazi kowtowed in fright, and was dragged out by two guards. Before he had time to beg for mercy, his head rolled on the ground, gurgling.

Liu Wangxun was so frightened that he couldn't even stand up.

Zhao Ning said to Liu Wangxun, "Let's go to Xingzhou, and take me to meet Zhang Zhifu."

May 21, Xingzhou.

As usual, Zhang Juxian is handling government affairs in the Yamen.

"Is Liu Wangxun back?"

The judge Qin Wei said: "Prefect Zhang, Liu Shicao has not returned yet."

Zhang Juxian said dissatisfiedly: "Why have you been there for so long? Does Julu need him to spend so long there for such a trivial matter?"

"I don't know." Qin Wei looked a little worried, and he continued, "I heard that the imperial court has made a big rectification in Huaixi, and a large number of people died. The investigation is very strict. Prefect Zhang, should we postpone our tax collection?"

Zhang Juxian put down the teacup in his hand and laughed: "You don't have to worry about this matter, it won't reach the capital."

"The lower official is still a little worried, in case he gets stabbed..."

"You are overthinking. Most of the officials in the Xinde Mansion have taken it. No one wants to have an accident. It is impossible for those untouchables to get out of the Xinde Mansion."

"Besides, the northern line is still severe. Zhaozhou needs food. We are doing this for the court. It's too late for His Majesty to praise us!"

"By the way, what happened to the goods in the north?" Zhang Juxian asked suddenly.

Qin Wei said: "I just transported a hundred sheep, and they should have gone to the Yellow River by now."

"Is the person picked up in Tokyo reliable?"

"It is said that Liu Shangguan sent someone to pick it up, there is no mistake."

Zhang Juxian asked again: "When you were in Zhaozhou, you weren't being targeted?"

Qin Wei thought for a while and said, "It seems that I heard that Hu Quan from Zhaozhou Newspaper asked about it."

"He's just a small official of the newspaper, so it's nothing to worry about. It's good that he can sell it to Tokyo smoothly. If this order goes on, Tokyo will be managed better, and there will be plenty of money to be made in the future."

"Prefect Zhang, don't worry, everyone is following the plan."

At this time, the voice of the yamen came from outside: "Prefect Zhang, some people came outside, saying that they are His Majesty's envoys and want to see you."

His Majesty?

Both Zhang Juxian and Qin Wei were shocked.

Qin Wei panicked, "Your Majesty is coming!"

"Don't panic, go out and have a look."

What the imperial guards took out was a gold medal, which was exclusive to the emperor.

"Ready to go out of the city to welcome you."

"Yes!"

Zhang Juxian hurried back to the government office to prepare, but Qin Wei was a little flustered: "Your Majesty came to Xingzhou, why is there no news in advance, could it be fake? The clothes passed on by the envoys of the Son of Heaven are ordinary clothes."

"I don't know either, I'd rather believe it and get ready to go out of the city to welcome you." Zhang Juxian tidied up, "By the way, go and inform Lu Cao and the others."

"Yes, I'll do it right now."

At this time, several imperial guards arrived in front of the yamen of the Xingzhou commanding officer.

They also took out gold medals, and they met Zhang Jun, commander of the Xingzhou garrison, unimpeded.

Zhang Jun was taken aback: "Your Majesty has come to Xingzhou!"
