four and a half year old farm family pet

Chapter 2562
Cao Yanming, who had always maintained a kneeling posture, was heartbroken and knew that he had no possibility of defending himself.

Thinking of the consequences waiting for him, his heart trembled and he fainted.

Pei Yu watched the person in the hall fall to the ground. Regardless of whether he was really faint or fake, he directly ordered in a cold voice: "Pour water on him to wake him up."

Several basins of cool well water were poured on Cao Yanming's head.

Cao Yanming woke up with a gasp of air. After a few breaths of confusion, he immediately kowtowed to Pei Yu and begged for mercy with tears streaming down his face.

Pei Yu snorted coldly, "The imperial court is implementing new taxes for the sake of the country and the people. How dare you to privately change the tax laws and profit from it!"

"The lower official knows his mistake, the lower official knows his mistake!" Cao Yanming kowtowed, suddenly remembered something, stood up on his knees and pointed in the direction of the yamen door, "Shang Queyin, Shang Queyin!"

"Master Hou! Your Majesty is completely deceived by that quack doctor Shang Queyin! Your Majesty asked that quack doctor to come to your home to treat your illness, but he accidentally let the quack doctor hear your discussion with others about the implementation of the new imperial tax. One thing."

"When the quack doctor came to the door again, he used slanderous words to confuse the official. The official was confused for a moment... Wuwuwu... The official was confused for a moment..."

At Shang Queyin's suggestion, Cao Yanming divided all the merchants in the city into two categories.

One type is those who are willing to pay him privately to bribe him. They can falsely report their income and control the amount of tax paid to the amount before the court introduced new taxes, but they must also pay [-]% of the underpaid tax to him.

The rest are those merchants who are unwilling to spend money on bribes and directly add taxes on top of the new tax. For example, what should have been 29 tax per yen has become [-] tax per yen.

The extra money naturally went into Cao Yanming's pocket.

Cao Yanming thought that Nankang City was neither south nor north, and the place was small. It had never been taken seriously by the outside world, so he should not make any mistakes by doing this.

Who could have imagined that Princess Protector and Marquis Jingyuan, who were famous throughout the Da'an Dynasty, would suddenly appear in Nankang City!

Pei Yu did not change her opinion of Cao Yanming at all because of Cao Yanming's sophistry, but everyone who was related to this matter could not escape the involvement!
He ordered people to capture Shang Queyin and bring him back for interrogation.A quarter of an hour later, Shi Lu caught Shang Queyin at the gate of the city, who was carrying a baggage and trying to escape from the city.

This Shang Queyin was even more spineless than Cao Yanming. After being brought back to the Yamen, he saw the officials kneeling on the ground and was so frightened that he peed his pants on the spot.

Pei Yu glanced at Shi Lu, who understood and stepped forward to interrogate Shang Queyin.

Facing Cao Yanming's statement repeated by Shi Lu, Shang Queyin was frightened but denied it.

"No! No, Cao Min has never said anything like that to Mr. Cao! Please, Mr. Qingtian, tell the truth and restore Cao Min's innocence!"

When Cao Yanming heard this, he got up anxiously on the spot, "Don't even think about making excuses! The reason why I made such a big mistake was all because of your temptation! You quack! A quack that kills people! Please give me an honest explanation to Mr. Hou! Hurry up!" Explain!"

Cao Yanming rushed in front of Shang Queyin and tried to strangle Shang Queyin's neck with both hands.

But he was weak and weak, so he was no match for the healthy Shang Queyin.

The two were wrestling in the hall, which annoyed Pei Yu even more.

Pei Yu glanced at the sky.

It was almost noon. Instead of wasting time here watching these two losers fighting like market shrews, it would be better to go back and have lunch with my wife.

With this in mind, Pei Yu signaled his men to separate Cao Yanming and Shang Queyin.

"Cao Yanming was corrupt, violated the law, and tampered with the new tax regulations of the imperial court. His crime cannot be forgiven. He ransacked his home first and confiscated all the proceeds. The criminals were taken to the capital on the same day and handed over to Dali Temple for interrogation. The rest of them were all thrown into prison, and... …”
