Chapter 110

"What if I don't want to?" The young man lightly tapped the table with his fingers, his expression unclear.

Li Yan still had a confident expression, "My father and daughter are still following my son's way."

Gu Xuan chuckled lightly, "It means I don't agree, so it's okay?"

The corners of Li Yan's lips were lightly raised, and she tugged at the dazed dad beside her, and the two bowed to salute.

"Is there anything I can't do?"

Gu Xuan raised his eyebrows, "But can you believe your words?"

Zhou Bi finally came to his senses, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty can vouch for my little daughter, my father and daughter will definitely obey your orders."

Gu Xuan was silent for a while, but just when Li Yan thought he would make things difficult again, he suddenly spoke.

"I don't need your guarantee, and I don't need someone to order. Since the county magistrate listens to you, let's do this."

"Thank you sir."

It seems that Zhou Bi has such a big face.

Li Yan curled her lips, lowered her head and made a gesture of invitation, "My daughter is sending you off."

Gu Xuan looked at her thoughtfully, with a satisfied smile in the girl's eyes.

So after using it, you are in such a hurry to drive people away, don't you pretend to be?

Li Yan stood still and said in a low voice, "If you want to stay for tea, young master, I will make tea for you."

Gu Xuan snorted coldly and left.

Both father and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, Zhou Bi slumped on the desk chair and asked her, "Why didn't you support me beforehand if you wanted to seek refuge with Gu Er."

A thought flashed through Li Yan's mind, and it was just a matter of seeing a needle.

"As early as Sun Fulin's case, foster father, you have already boarded Gu Er's boat. Do you think he is avoiding you?"

Before noon, I asked Xue Shao to borrow people, including Xue Shao came to the isolation center to meet Gu Xuan, and the two did not avoid suspicion when they met.

Zhou Bi Dou narrowed his eyes and shook his head, "It seems that there really isn't one."

"So instead of waiting, it's better for us to take the initiative and be sincere. Commander Xue is the best example. I just met you, and I suddenly thought of this."

She didn't believe that, with Gu Xuan's temperament, he would do something to actively solicit.

Zhou Bi pinched his cheeks, and Xiaodou's eyes sparkled with surprise, "So now I can be regarded as someone behind me."

Li Yan couldn't get used to his stupidity, so she yawned, "Come on, you can enjoy yourself slowly, I have to find my girl."

It's already midnight, and the little girl hasn't come here yet, so she's probably still working hard.

When Li Yan found the little girl in the decoction shop, she was the only one in the room. The little girl was squatting in the corner, half asleep and decocting the medicine.

When Li Yan came in, the little girl shook her head and woke up immediately, "Miss, is it over?"

"The lady will wait for me, the medicine will take half an hour to be ready."

Li Yan nodded, took off her cloak and covered her body, found a small wooden stool and sat down, "You rest for a while, I will guard the medicine stove."

Kumquat was really exhausted, so she nodded obediently.

Wrapped around the young lady's slender waist, leaning on her body, after a while, he couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep. Later, he didn't know how he got back to the Yaoxiangtang.

After Ma Changdiao came back from Liu Zhifu's residence, his eyelids kept twitching.

The housekeeper got another news that the heads of the family who were drinking together in Qingfeng Building were called to the county government office, and they hadn't returned home in the middle of the night.

This made him even more uneasy, and he always felt that there was no end to this matter.

That night, Ma Changdiao tossed and turned.

On the second day, at dawn, I called the housekeeper and told him to transfer the assets slowly in secret, and then collect the important account books together.

With such a big commotion yesterday, and the suggestion from the housekeeper of Liu Zhifu's house, he keenly felt that something might be wrong.

It's just that all of Ma Changdiao's properties are located in counties and counties, gambling houses, brothels, manors and fields, and these assets cannot be processed in half a day.

The housekeeper watched Ma Changdiao buried his head in counting the assets, and couldn't help but said, "Master Ma, are you planning to leave Hejun County? This is the foundation we have worked hard for many years, and it is hard-won. If we change places, we have to start all over again. The matter is really serious." Has it fallen beyond control?"

The housekeeper's family are all in He County, if Ma Changdiao wants to leave this place, his family must also follow him, the housekeeper is naturally not happy after living in peace for a long time.

After thinking about it, the housekeeper said, "The people who guarded the gate of Qianyan Mansion came back and said that they all went back in the middle of the night. Let it go. Although we said we didn't pay the rations, it was obvious that the rations were secretly eaten by the county government. This should be the end of the matter, otherwise, these people would not be released easily. Master Ma, you Don't worry too much. It's calm outside."

Ma Changdiao said with a sullen face, "When disaster strikes, I won't be able to leave even if I want to."

Ma Changdiao is not a timid person, on the contrary, people who run gambling shops and brothels are super courageous.

And Ma Changdiao can compete for a place in Hejun County, except for his courage.

It is because of his keen intuition, which not only helps him in the business field, but also allows him to avoid many risks.

This time, although Ma Changdiao's intuition was right, it couldn't help him.

When he was discussing with the housekeeper about transferring the property, Li Si led his troops and directly surrounded Ma Changdiao's mansion.

In addition to the people from the yamen, there were also soldiers in guard armor.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Ma Changdiao wanted to destroy the account books secretly.

But in the end it was still a step too late, and he was escorted back to the Yamen with the account book.

Li Si interrogated him, and Ma Chang Diao was stubborn and resolutely pleaded not guilty.

But with the account book in hand, Ma Changdiao's crime of hiding taxes cannot be denied.

And the amount of tax concealed is huge, enough for him to drink a pot.

In addition, the account books also recorded Ma Changdiao's record of selling private tea.

This dynasty severely punished anyone who sold illegal salt, tea, wine and other important taxes.

Anyone who sells more than one tael of private tea is "Fifteen of the Decision Stick".

Dare to violently resist taxation, "steal and sell illicit salt with sticks, more than three people, hold sticks and heads and execute them together".

Selling private tea "one catty is worth 100 sticks, and if it is sold to more than 20 catties, it will be thrown away. (Put it to death and show it to the public)".

"Five fights to death" for smuggling alcohol

The amount of private tea Ma Changdiao sold was enough for him to die thousands of times.

In addition to his criminal evidence of committing crimes, what Li Si searched from Ma Changdiao's mansion was his record of bribing officials.

It records in detail the time and place of his bribery, as well as the officials who accepted the bribes.

Still, Liu Zhifu bribed the longest time and the largest amount.

When Li Yan arrived at the isolation point in the west of the city, these criminal evidences were also handed over to Zhou Bi.

Seeing the numbers in between, he was speechless and speechless for a while.

"Ma Changdiao really committed a heinous crime, death is not a pity."

Not to mention that these people have been bullying the weak and committing crimes for years.

Just the amount of taxes he has hidden over the past few years, the assets of bullying are enough to support the county and county people for a whole year. One can imagine how big this amount is.
