My name is Ren

Chapter 690 Framing is the least safe method, but using framing to create conflicts is the safest

After the former head of the Taxation Administration was transferred to the Disciplinary and Security Committee, Earl Carter, who was very close to the Caperfield family, took up the post of head of the Taxation Administration. This was definitely the pinnacle moment of his life for him.Everyone knows that the most important department in the empire is the State Administration of Taxation, because this department tightly holds the royal family's money bag.If he is unhappy, he can report less, and the royal family's normal consumption expenses will have to be tightened in the coming year.If the royal family makes him happy, he can also relax a bit and give the royal family a fat year.

This position has always been held by the core members of the royalist faction. Regardless of any political storms or any dirty political transactions, this position is a "non-trade item".This time the Kapperfield family got this position for him, and he must repay it back, so the Kapperfield family's fief was exempted from tax this year, and it will also be exempt from tax next year.

Originally, the correct way to use this kind of thing is to apply to the prime minister and the emperor agrees, and then the head of the General Administration of Taxation can reduce or exempt the tax of a certain area for a certain period of time in a written document.However, Carter felt that the tax in one place was really under-collected, and the tax in other places was more reported, so Ren might not know it.Even if he knew, Carter was backed by the Capperfields, and Ren, who had just ascended the throne, might not have clashed with the Capperfields for such a trivial matter.

This amount of money is actually not much, especially after Renn permanently exempted the population tax, the only thing that can be extracted is the commercial tax, which is about [-] gold coins, which is not an astronomical amount of wealth.Money does not matter how big or small, the key is his attitude, and this kind of political return is the most important.

After successfully becoming the head of the State Administration of Taxation, Carter's life has also undergone tremendous changes. The most important point is that he has more money in his hands and has more contacts, which makes him fall asleep with a smile every day , Waking up with a smile.

"The lord of Mundel sent a lot of things here, hoping to treat you to a meal." Carter's wife scooped corn soup into the deep-bottomed dinner plate in front of Carter, and said casually.A lot of nobles like this suddenly appeared recently, and each noble sold as little as two or three hundred gold coins, and as many as thousands of gold coins.The most exaggerated thing is that the city lord of Alexandria took out [-] gold coins in one breath, hoping that Carter could make a little move and erase some of the tax revenue of Alexandria this year.

Regarding the changes of these people, Carter is actually very clear that His Majesty Rennes will require a restructuring next year, and many old systems will be destroyed and replaced by new ones.Among them, the most far-reaching influence is the planning of fiefs and cities.Nobles will no longer have fiefs and fiefs, meaning they will no longer be able to withhold large sums of money from local tax revenues.The summary at the end of this year will be their last chance to make money, so every nobleman is trying his best to make a fortune.

After begging and begging, they finally reached Carter's door. If he didn't let go, the undersecretary and the people who handled the specific affairs would not dare to mess around, so he was the key person.

Carter curled his lips indifferently, "How much can Mundel send? It's nothing more than three to five hundred gold coins, not necessarily all cash, it may be various things." He picked up the spoon He scooped a spoonful of corn chowder into his mouth, raised his eyebrows, "You are the only one who can make corn chowder that suits my taste, my dear."

Unlike other corn chowders, Carter's wife added some red wine, lots of cheese, and a sprinkling of weed leaves called bittersweet.After cooking, the rich aroma makes people's mouth full of saliva in an instant, and the mellow and rich taste is really irresistible, it is a taste of happiness!

His wife smiled and sat on the opposite side of him, "Although I like to hear these words very much!" She also took a spoonful and tasted it, and nodded with satisfaction, "I heard that His Majesty Rennes and Pa His Majesty Wren's personality and style are all different, if you do this, will it cause His Majesty Wren's displeasure?"

Carter shook his head, put down the spoon, picked up the napkin and wiped his lips, "You don't understand."

"No matter how the empire's system changes, some things will not change, such as the General Administration of Taxation. In the past few days, I have been studying the reform plan proposed by His Majesty Rennes with others. In the new political system , the State Administration of Taxation is still the most important department of the empire, and His Majesty is also very clear that he has pushed this reform forcefully, so it is necessary to leave enough room for everyone to benefit, otherwise some bad things will break out .”

"Do you think His Majesty doesn't know what those guys are doing? Look at the guy in front, he went to the newly established Disciplinary and Security Committee, has been working for so long, has he achieved any results?", talking , Carter became excited, stopped eating, and kept explaining to his wife, "Don't shake your head, in fact, a lot of results have been achieved, and the local nobles have begun to plunder, almost without concealing it. Started to plunder wealth, but why haven't I heard of any practical action by the Disciplinary and Security Committee until today?"

"It's not that I didn't do it, but I did it, but His Majesty refused to issue it. He took away the power of the nobles, and he must compensate these nobles, and the compensation is this year's tax. Even if I only reported one gold coin at the end of the year , Your Majesty will not have any opinions, this is a compromise, it is a transaction. I took your stuff, you took mine, and everyone is evened out."

"Anyway, they'll find a way to get the money away, why not let me get some benefits from it?"

His wife kept nodding, but the expression on her face seemed a little disturbed.

Acquiescence means that there is no evidence that His Majesty agrees with him and their ideas. Once Renn turns his face, they may be in trouble.It's just that Carter's wife knew that even if she said something, Carter would not adopt it. Instead of adding trouble to him, it was better to keep her mouth shut.

"By the way, help me choose some exquisite and expensive things, and put three boxes of gold coins, I will use them tomorrow." Without waiting for his wife to ask, he explained himself, "I heard that guy Spielco is a little tight , as his friend, it is necessary for me to help him."

But Carter didn't know that Spielko didn't need his help anymore, because he never needed money and couldn't use it anymore.

After the guards outside the villa were subdued, the greyhounds broke into the villa. At first, Spielko thought it was someone who handled it, but he just let go of his worries.Before he could turn around, he just stood up when he was kicked on the lower back and fell to the ground in embarrassment.The two greyhounds twisted his arms behind his back with frosty faces, and pulled him up forcefully.

Spielco screamed and struggled crazily, but how could his small arms and legs break free from the hands of these field greyhounds?

"Do you know who I am? Do you know who I am!" He had a ferocious expression on his face, twisting his body and looking at the field personnel walking by, with a violent look on his face, his eyes widened, "I am The next patriarch of the Caperfield family, do you dare to arrest me? You are dead, no one can protect you!", he jumped up and down, faintly feeling that the strength of the two people around him had weakened by three points, he I was overjoyed, but at this moment, I calmed down.

He has always been a calm and rational person. If the scene here hadn't impacted him too much and made his mentality unbalanced, he would not have become irrational.But feeling that his surname and identity played a key role, the hesitation and uneasiness in his heart eased a lot, and he calmed down in an instant.

He realized that he might have been tricked.He stopped struggling and said those threatening words, and the expression on his face gradually softened and became indifferent.He took a deep breath, looked at the person in front of him who lowered his head slightly and looked at him, and said in a low voice: "I don't know what happened here, I was knocked out, and when I woke up, I saw the people here. Everything, I don't know what's going on at all, I was framed." He knew very well that if he was struggling with his identity, it would only be counterproductive.

At this time, it is far more effective to show a personal position than to show the status of a family.There is no benefit in dragging the family into the water, but if the matter only involves one person, the family can also help themselves when necessary.He felt extremely ashamed of his dizzy performance before, and at the same time warned himself that if he couldn't solve the problem by himself, he would take it on himself.

It was nothing more than the death of three commoner girls. With the identity and status of the golden nobleman, he didn't need to bear much consequence for this.

Greyhound's team leader sneered twice, stretched out his callused and rough hands and patted Spielko's delicate little face, "Golden Noble? Capperfield?" He shook his head while saying, " It seems that you still don't know what you did." He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Spielko, and waved his hand, "Take everyone away, let someone come here to deal with it."

When Spielko turned around obediently, he didn't see the crazy smile on the face of the group leader behind him.

It was a kind of...a smile that I had been looking forward to for a long time, ferocious and crazy.

Soon, Spielko of the Caperfield family was arrested by the Imperial Security Department for murdering three girls, and the atmosphere in the entire imperial capital immediately became a little weird.The civilians walked towards the Golden Ring District angrily, and started a huge parade in the Golden Ring District.Others, people of status, sensed that there must be something wrong.Just like Spielko himself thought, even if the golden nobleman killed three girls, so what?

Compared to the crowds outside the Golden Ring area, the inside of the Golden Ring area was eerily calm. Everyone was waiting, waiting for the first person to come forward to unravel the fog.

But before that, life was not easy for Spielko.

"You said you were sent to that villa after being knocked out?" The expert in charge of the interrogation asked his own question.Beside him, there are the leaders of the Ministry of Security, as well as Rennes' butler Feng Kesi, and the elders of Spelko of the Capofel family.

Spielko nodded, "Yes, I don't know what happened, as soon as I woke up, I was in that villa."

The expert nodded in satisfaction, and he continued to ask, "What did you do after you woke up?"

"I didn't do anything, my head hurt, my mind went blank, and then your guys showed up!"

The expert asked again: "Then that pair of bloody pants in the bathroom is yours? Have you ever been to the bathroom?"

"I never left the couch and those pants didn't belong to me!"

The expert then wrote and drew in a notebook on the table for a while, and then asked a question that made it difficult for Spielko to answer, "You may not have noticed that after our investigators searched, in the bathroom, in the hall I have found your footprints, may I ask how do you explain this problem?" A gleam flashed in Spielko's eyes, he forgot about this matter, and before he could find out the reason, the expert Then he continued to ask: "Your guards said that you were escorted by them, but you said that you woke up in the villa after fainting. You said that you woke up and did nothing, but the fact is that you not only took off your Blood-stained trousers, took a shower, and changed into a clean set of clothes."

"Evidence doesn't lie, so you are lying. May I ask Mr. Spielko, what are you hiding?"

"Maybe you don't know it well. In the Imperial Security Department, there is a file room, which also contains information about you. From the information, I found that you have a very serious tendency to abuse and masochism, and some people have also proved this. .”

"Let me make a simple guess. You may have obtained three girls through some means, and then during the execution of the abuse game, you got out of control because of something and killed the first girl. The instant stimulation may have inspired a pleasure you didn't experience before, so you tortured and killed the other two girls. Because the stimulation you received exceeded your limit, you also fainted in the end."

"You don't realize what you've done until you wake up, am I right?"

Spielko actually nodded, but what he said was completely different from what he said, "This is a slander, a frame! I suspect that my guards and some people I don't know are teaming up to frame me , Their testimony cannot be used as a legal and reasonable basis. As for my personal privacy, it is my hobby, and it does not mean that because I have these habits, I will inevitably hurt someone!"

"As for the discrepancy between what I said and the evidence you think, it is also a normal thing. I was a little confused when I woke up. I couldn't be sure what I had done or not. It may have been left behind by others when I was in a coma. If there is no stronger direct evidence to prove that I killed three girls, please stop wasting our mutual time."

The expert shook his head with a smile, and closed the notebook on the table. He looked at the young man with a half-smile, and sighed, "You may not know that those three girls are not ordinary people at all, but noble!"
