Chapter 160 The eunuch also has a face

Now the problem is in front of Chai Chong, what should I do!

In fact, the choice is very simple, there are only two, that is, pay a fine or not. Paying a fine is 110,000 taels. Not only is it painful, but it will not be able to bring out so much money for a while! If you don’t pay, the land will be gone.

The land confiscated by the government used to take some effort to get it back, but now, judging from the position of the tax department, it is impossible to get it back.

Although the Chai family has so many land, they are bought without any money. Some are invested in, while others are robbed by tricks. Some are used to take advantage of the dangers of people in the year of disaster, while others are used to lend usury, so that people can't afford to pay back and can only use the land to pay off their debts.

Various methods have been passed through several generations to save these lands.

If this place was lost in his hands, Chai Chong felt that he had no face to meet the ancestors of the Chai family. Thinking of this, Chai Chong was immediately furious and fell down straight.

Pi Gan frowned, and Xing Shangzhi smiled, reached out and took the penalty notice in his hand.

"I don't care if you really fainted or fake it, in seven days, I will send the penalty silver to the tax department. Otherwise, the hidden land will be confiscated, and let's talk about the ugly words in front."

Xing Shangzhi didn't want to take this trick. He wanted to do something, so he had the chance to make a contribution.

"Let's go, let's go to the next family!" Leaving this sentence, Xing Shangzhi ignored the chaos in the Chai family and took the people away directly.

On this day, Xing Shangzhi and Pigan left sixteen companies, and each company received a ticket. Of course, not every company has as many as the Chai family, but it is only tens of thousands of taels, and the entire Jinan Prefecture suddenly became lively.

Countless gentry rose up in fear and connected with each other, while some simply ran to the government office. Those with high status ran directly to the governor's office.

Wang Zongmu is also a personal talent, so he, the governor, can join in this kind of thing? Since the news of the Kong family came out, Wang Zongmu has understood the confidence and courage of the young emperor today. This is to push this matter no matter what, and no one can stop him.

So Wang Zongmu simply hid and claimed to be sick and bedridden.

There was a turmoil here, and the Taxation Department did not stop and issued a new notice directly. Any gentry in Jinan, whoever hides the land, would go to the Taxation Department to explain within seven days to explain that they could pay a fine of 30%.

As soon as this news came out, many people felt relieved and were very grateful.

Things in the world are not about the amount but about the uneven. If you are directly fined 30%, you will be unhappy. But now with the sixteen gentry headed by the Chai family, many people feel grateful and even gloat about it.

I originally had to pay a fine of 10,000 taels of silver, but now I only need 3,000 taels, so I won’t lose!

The whole of Jinan Prefecture was in chaos, and Qufu was the same, and it even jumped even harder.

The Kong family was very clear about their own reliance. When Kong Shangqian presided over Confucius' birthday sacrifice, the Kong family realized that it was not good. But within two days, things took a turn for the worse again. Someone impeached Kong Shangxian's family and tampered with the family family and pretended to be the family room of the Kong family.

The right and wrong of this matter cannot be said. After so many years, who can tell it clearly?

The hats on them also colluded with the Mongol Yuan, and the unlimited cursing against the Mongol Yuan, and even the statement of sending the Kong family's legitimate daughter to the Mongol Yuan was revealed. Of course, some people can see that someone is pushing, but what can I do? Who dares to say it?

All fools know who is pushing this, and smart people can see that the emperor is targeting Kong Shangxian's lineage, so it doesn't matter.

Qufu, the Kong family mansion.

Kong Shangxian was so anxious that he was like an ant on a hot pan, walking back and forth in the room, with an anxious look on his face. When he saw the butler coming in, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "How is it? Did the eunuch agree?"

The housekeeper hurriedly said, "Master, no. Eunuch Xu said that he felt cold and was unwell and was already in bed."

Kong Shangxian's body was trembling, and he felt the cold and his body was uncomfortable. He was still running around a few days ago and traveled around the Kong family all day long. Now he is here, which shows that he doesn't want to accept his banquet.

"Have you been watching the second room?" Kong Shangxian asked with a cold face.

The second wife in Kong Shangxian's mouth was not his second brother or his second uncle, but Kong Sicheng's lineage. This time, the impeachment was his lineage that had escaped Kong Sicheng's inheritance. Now Kong Shangxian must not let them speak.

Kong Shangxian is sure whether Kong Sicheng's family will cause trouble. Given their chances, they will make trouble 100%.

No matter what the truth is, of course, his ancestor Kong Sihui pulled Kong Sicheng off the title of Yan Shenggong. Over the years, his lineage has always been in control of Yan Shenggong's title, and his lineage is also in its glory.

How can Kong Sicheng's lineage not be jealous? How can he not want to drag himself down?

Now this memorial is just giving them a chance, it would be strange if they don’t make a fuss. Not to mention others, Kong Shangxian felt that he couldn’t help it, so Kong Shangxian asked someone to show them.

"Don't worry, Master, keep an eye on it!" The butler quickly agreed.

Kong Shangxian then breathed a sigh of relief, stood there with a gloomy face and thought, and sighed for a while: "Forget it! The person is under the low eaves, and he has to bow his head and go with me to see the eunuch!"

In fact, Kong Shangxian had already written letters everywhere to mobilize his connections, but Kong Shangxian also knew that the final decision on this matter was with the emperor. If the emperor did not let go, it would be useless for anyone to plead, and his high attitude would be gone.

In Kong Shangxian's heart, he felt that as long as he supported the officials and gentry to pay food together, things would be acceptable.

I have been the Lord Yan Sheng for so many years, and I have been doing it in the early Ming Dynasty. The emperor will not destroy his own life unless he has to. All the scholars in the world support me. As long as I am convinced, the emperor will not say anything.

But this time I was going to be a little bit angry. Kong Shangxian felt so frustrated when he thought of whispering to a eunuch.

But now, I have no other choice but to put my face down. After thinking about it, Kong Shangxian said to the butler: "Let me prepare a generous gift and give it to the eunuch later."

The eunuch loves money and gives enough benefits. Kong Shangxian believes that he must know how to do it.

At the same time, Kong Shangxian secretly hated in his heart that he just paid the tax and it would be over, so why bother such a big deal?

Xu De has been living a good life these days and there is nothing wrong with it every day. As for Kong Shangxian, Xu De is ready to let out a vent of anger this time. After so many years, he has never suffered such anger.

After entering the palace, he served Feng Bao and became Feng Bao as his godfather. Although there were many dirty things in the eunuch, who dared not give him face? Later, when his godfather died, he became the emperor's confidant again.

In recent years, Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng were always polite when they saw him. Kong Shangxian dared to show his face. He dared not see him. This time, if you don’t beat him, Kong Shangxian’s face hurts, and he has let down the eunuch’s reputation of revenge.

What's wrong with eunuchs? Eunuchs are also human beings, with dignity and face. If you really think of anyone, you can never give eunuchs face. What is eunuchs? They are the emperor's slaves. If they slapped the eunuch in the face, they would slapped the emperor in the face.

If you dare to slap the emperor in the face, you must be prepared to lose your life.

"Dad father-in-law, Yan Shenggong is asking for a meeting outside the door!" The little eunuch came in and reported that he had a very serious bit of the word "seeking".

Xu De was sitting on the chair with a big golden knife, his face was rosy, and he didn't look sick at all. He waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "Let him come in!" At this time, Xu De didn't even want to say a word "please".

Not long after, Kong Shangxian walked in from outside, adjusted his smile outside for a long time, and froze on his face when he saw Xu De.

Xu De just sat there, holding a teacup to drink water, without any intention of getting up. Seeing Kong Shangxian, Xu De said lightly: "Isn't this Yan Shenggong? Why are you free today? Do you think our family has occupied the land of your Kong family?"

"It's okay, our family is going to move out today. A eunuch like ours lives in Yanshenggong's Mansion, which will embarrass Yanshenggong."

Xu De was not polite at all. With the unique sarcastic eunuch, combined with his arrogant sitting posture and the expression on his face, it was so annoying that it made people want to cut this guy with one knife.

In my heart, Xu De was scolded by the 18th generation of ancestors, and Kong Shangxian showed a smile that was not much better than crying.

Seeing that Xu De had no intention of letting him sit down, Kong Shangxian didn't care. He found a chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "What are you saying, is the person below not serving you? I turned around and scolded them severely."

Xu De glanced at Kong Shangxian and said with a smile: "Yan Shenggong said this well. People should know their duty. What should they do and what should not be done? Then you have to figure it out. The emperor often says 'people get their duty'. What does Yan Shenggong think?"

This is extremely mean and cannot be considered insulting, but it is just stimulating Kong Shangxian.

Kong Shangxian's face suddenly turned red. He really wanted to leave with a swing of his sleeves and let someone throw the dead eunuch out. But Kong Shangxian also knew that this would not work! He could only nodded awkwardly and said, "The emperor is the wise king, and every word and action is naturally the ultimate truth."

Before Xu De could speak, Kong Shangxian directly winked at the butler behind him.

The housekeeper hurriedly walked up with a tray. Before he could walk forward, the little eunuch beside Xu De had already walked over, reached out to pick up the tray, and then turned around and placed it on the table next to Xu De.

Xu De reached out to pick up the red cloth covered with it, looked inside and smiled.
