Chapter 1052 Terrible Stamp Duty

When Xiaohu arrived at the Bohai Sea, twenty days had passed since the fire-burning tea boats. The pier was still calm, and there were still many merchant ships coming and going, and the patrol was even stricter. A small boat was alert to enter the port and there were also people to check.

Even though Xiao Tong and his friends were in charge of the imperial court's official documents, they still went through three detailed inspections and passed the cross-examination before they successfully set foot on the land of the Bohai Sea.

This time, Tong Guan came with Xiao Tong. This guy is tall and magnificent. After training in the military, he has developed a good martial arts.

His eyes were sharp and he kept surfing, and he could not hide any abnormal movements from him.

Tong Guan could clearly feel the tension in the air.

"Let's go see Shuai Di?" he made his comment.

Xiao Tong shook his head, "If you want to investigate the cause of the case, you must truly go deep into the people and see what you can go to Di Shuai's place! Let's find an inn to stay."

Tong Guan was very worried about Xiao Tong's safety, but he could not object, so he could only follow suit and protect his safety.

After walking for a while, the street was full of people in a hurry. Many shops were half-closed, and I don’t know if it was closed or opened. It took a lot of effort to find an inn.

The little pig stepped in and headed straight to the counter.

"Shopkeeper, we want two rooms!"

The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man. He looked up and gave up two forms, and stuffed them to Xiaoshao. He said indifferently: "Fill it."

Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, is it necessary to live in a store so troublesome?" He glanced at the projects on the form, and there were only a few dozen of them. Even if he went to the yamen to complain, it was not as complicated as this.

The shopkeeper looked at him and sighed, "Young master, maybe you just came here? I'm a little more trouble now, so I can save you from going into trouble in the future. I've captured a lot of them these days!"

"Ah? Catch people?"

The little pig suddenly became curious and wanted to ask, but suddenly the curtain was lifted up and a few more people came in. The shopkeeper was so scared that he quickly closed his mouth and quickly met him, bowed and bent down.

The leader was a young man with a hat on the gown. He looked like a gangster no matter how he looked. He glanced at him and saw two little pigs, and smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, the business is good! What this month means... don't forget!"

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, even if I forget my surname, I can't forget you!"

"What's this? We're talking about like a mountain king!" The guy spat in dissatisfaction, and was about to leave, but turned around and stared at the little pig.

I was far away from me and didn't pay attention. This kid was dressed well!

Especially with jade on my waist, it is mutton fat jade, a good thing!

Looking at the clothes again, the cotton cloth is not worse than silk... This guy's eyes were covered, but he didn't expect that a fat sheep came to the door!

He walked over quickly. Seeing that the situation was not good, the shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Young Master, if you think our inn is not good, leave quickly. Don't waste time here. Our temple is small and we can't keep the great gods..."

His words were obviously a little bitch, so that he could leave so that he would not be unlucky.

But that guy didn't give Xiaopeng a chance to leave at all. He stepped in front of him a few steps, slanted his eyes, looked up and down constantly, and made a sound while watching.

"Oh, this young master, you are dressing really well. Not to mention the jade pendant, just a pocket watch costs more than a few hundred yuan!"

Xiao Tong smiled calmly, "I don't know how much it costs when I gave it to her friend!"

"I don't know? That's OK, I'll do it for you!" He walked forward two steps and reached out to grab it. Tong Guan immediately stood up and stopped him with his hand.

"Friend, our young master is out for the first time, don't scare him!"

The man looked up at Tong Guan. He was not old, but he was strong and didn't look like a good person... He laughed dryly and rubbed his hands and said, "I don't want to scare people either, but the court's orders must strictly investigate tax evasion. Your young master's clothes and wear are worth at least 1,000 yuan. If you sell them, you can earn several thousand..."

"We are not hawkers, and we don't like this little money!" Tong Guan angrily scolded.

The person on the opposite side smiled, "This is not sure. Who knows if you will sell it secretly... I couldn't find it at that time. Do you know His Highness Yan? He has said that there are only two eyes in this world that cannot escape, one is death, and the other is paying taxes... How about it, pay the tax first!"

Tong Guan was angry, but the little pig behind him smiled, "It's time to pay taxes. You can offer a price, how much should we pay?"

"How much?" He looked at it and said with a smile: "How about paying 300 yuan first?"

"become!"

Without hesitation, Xiao Tong took out three bank vouchers that were redeemable as soon as he saw the ticket and gave them to the other party.

The boy took it and looked at it for a long time, his eyes kept turning around. Obviously, he regretted it. The boy gave it so happily, and it seemed that the offer was low!

But I said it again, and it was difficult to take it back.

Let’s do this, let’s continue, and then turn around and tell Lao Xu to come over again. How can such a fat sheep not cut a few pieces of meat? Thinking of this, he smiled, “Young Master, you guys have fun, I’ll say goodbye!”

After saying that, he turned around and left quickly with a few helpers.

They walked for a while before the inn calmed down.

The shopkeeper looked at their backs as they were leaving, glared fiercely, and then sighed at Xiaopeng: "Young man, don't understand. If you give them money, they will not let you go. These grandchildren are all sucking people and not spitting bones. Listen to me, go quickly!"

Xiao Tong smiled faintly, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I gave them money, they won't come again. Prepare two rooms for me and I want to rest."

No matter how much the shopkeeper persuaded him, he could only arrange a room for him. When he paid the money, Xiao Tong realized that the original form would have to pay taxes and stamp duty. Not much, not 20% of the hotel fee!

When I arrived at the room, Xiao Tong's smile disappeared instantly. The second young master of the royal family also had a temper.

"These things are simply hateful!" He said with his teeth: "Go and tell me, arrest that grandson and hand it over to Mr. Di, and let him go to the military camp to feed the horses!"

"Abide by the order!"

Tong Guan went down immediately.

Only Xiao Tong was left. He was silent for a while. Although he had just stepped onto the land of the Bohai Sea, what he saw and heard was shocking enough.

Lao Wen introduced a lot of ways to make money and created a lot of taxes.

During the Song Dynasty, he felt very scary, but when he really saw it, he was even more surprised. For example, the stamp duty was only 3% at most, and when he arrived in the Bohai Sea, it was as much as 20%... Although not all of them were so high, it was also shocking enough!

The upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, Lao Wen is a greedy person, and the person he uses is even more so, even getting worse and doing everything he can.

Xiaopin thought for a while and was tired. He was ready to rest. He went to learn more carefully and see what was even more deadly... It was in the evening when Xiaopin got up, and saw that there was prepared clean water, washed his face and got down from the room.

It was the dinner place at this time, and the inn and restaurants were both famous for their meat patties. Many people would come here to have supper.

I want two cakes and a pot of tea. I eat them while listening to any new news. It feels very comfortable... But there are more and more tax officials sent by the court, and fewer and fewer people come. Even if I am greedy for meat cakes, I will buy them home and never stay for many times.

But today is different. Those who haven't appeared for a long time have actually come.

Everyone whispered and talked a lot.

"I heard that Liu Bapi was finished with that tax revenue?"

"really?"

"Not... he encountered a tough guy!"

Some people don’t believe it, “They were sent by the imperial court, who dares to touch him?”

"Don't say that, this time it was the one that Shuai Di ordered to take... Although Shuai Di is old, his reputation is there, and the court still wants to sell Shuai Di's face."

"So it's Di Shuai... He is kind-hearted. Oh, you tell me, why did Di Shuai just capture Liu Bapi and not arrest all the others? If all these people are killed, the world will be quiet!"

"Who said no, I see, Di Shuai is also afraid."

...

The group of people were talking about it. Xiaopin found a seat to sit down. The shopkeeper's eyes were thief. After he swept it, he took a plate of meat patties and asked for sauce, vinegar and chili peppers. He gave them to Xiaopin.

Xiaopeng happened to be hungry and immediately started eating.

"It tastes good!" He stretched out his thumb, and the shopkeeper was thinking. He suddenly leaned over and lowered his voice, "Young Master, in the morning, the one who collected your taxes was arrested. Do you know?"

The shopkeeper's efforts to observe his expressions and expressions were not sure if it was done by Xiaoshu, but he was unlucky after collecting his taxes. He had to doubt...

Xiao Tiao paused for a moment and showed a big smile, "Is that so? It seems that the court is still wise. Good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil!"

The shopkeeper wanted to find out some flaws, but Xiao Tong just laughed and he couldn't figure it out.

I can only say: "I hope the court can treat people well!"

As soon as the shopkeeper turned around, another person came outside.

The most obvious feature of this person is one eye!

Seeing him come in, many people stood up.

"So it's Guan Guanren!"

"Mr. Zhou is here!"

...Half of the inn stood up and said hello.

The popularity came and sat down. The shopkeeper quickly brewed a pot of ginger tea and brought it to the visitor. While pouring the tea, he laughed, "Why are the great official unhappy? Who dares to mess with you in Suzhou?"

The visitor rolled his eyelids, looked at the shopkeeper, and sneered, "What am I? Just picking out one of them can make you lose your temper. Do you believe it?"

The shopkeeper smiled bitterly, "I believe it, but Master Zhou, you have no temper. How can we live like this!"

Official Zhou Daren shook his head helplessly, "To be honest, I don't know, you guys are all judges. My son is just over 4 years old. I asked my wife to buy him a few books that he had misunderstood. As a result, he encountered a tax check on the way. He said that the book did not pay stamp duty and would be fined 100 yuan if he opened his mouth. Tell me, are there any such unreasonable people?"

He was extremely angry, pointed at his eyes and angrily shouted: "I have fought for the court. Why should the court treat us people like this?" He slapped the table in anger...
