Master Ye panicked here, the dozen or so soldiers who claimed to be the Kunshan Debt Clearance Division were not in a hurry, and they didn't pull out their knives to force Master Ye to pay the arrears of taxes immediately, and they just watched coldly.
The chief steward is careful, and wants to remind the master, I haven't heard that there is any debt settlement division in the county, and I can't figure it out, but I just helped the military men to come to Yejiazhuang to fight the autumn wind in the name of paying the debt.
If this is really an autumn wind, then the matter will have to be discussed, and the left and right are just to break the fortune and avoid disasters.
However, compared with the terrifying arrears from the first year of Chongzhen, this broken wealth is a small amount of money.
However, the group of soldiers stared at them so coldly that the big steward's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to come to the old man and whisper a few times.
"This" I have to admire Master Ye, Jiang is still very old, and the chief steward didn't dare to come forward to remind him, but Master Ye came back to his senses.
He coughed lightly, quietly flipped through the account book slightly, and then showed a look of surprise, and said in surprise: "Impossible, absolutely impossible" The chief steward saw the opportunity quickly, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, what is impossible" "My Ye family is a family of cultivators and scholars, and has always been law-abiding, and has never been in arrears for the payment of money and grain, and has never owed the court a penny of tax silver, but this account book says that my Ye family owes the court decades of money and grain taxes, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it is really wronged My Ye family, there must be something wrong with the government, is it not to ask a few military masters to go back and find out" As he spoke, Master Ye handed back the account book to the little flag, and turned back to Song San to wink.
Song San came to his senses, hurriedly trotted forward, and stuffed the silver ingots of ten and five taels that he had just taken from the account room into the hands of the leader Xiaoqi and a few soldiers behind him.
"The military masters are hard, the Ye family is not well entertained, this bit of silver is to invite the military masters to drink, and also ask the military masters to laugh" Song San was smiling all over his face, the chief steward was also smiling, and Master Ye was also smiling, looking very kind.
No, the little flag and his soldiers didn't accept the money, but just stood there straight.
Song San was very embarrassed, he had never met a soldier who had money and did not collect it before, and he didn't know what to do with the silver for a while.
Seeing this, Master Ye thought that these soldiers were too little silver, so he couldn't help coughing lightly and motioned to the chief steward to fetch some more silver.
He also admitted it, and this time he was going to make more money.
At this time, he saw that the small flag pushed Song San away, walked straight to Master Ye, and said loudly: "Ye Tiancheng, I was ordered to come to your house to pay off the taxes, but you didn't pay the taxes, but bribed us with money, if I report it, you will have to go to the prison of my debt payment division."
Ye Tiancheng was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said: "Hey, the military master said that he laughed, how to count the tea money as a bribe, it can't be counted, it's just a little bit of my Ye family's mind, the military masters just have to take it, and they will go to prison for a while." ” Song San listened to the master's words, and hurriedly handed over the silver again, but the small flag changed color, and said angrily to Ye Tiancheng: "If you don't let people take this silver away, and honestly pay taxes according to the meager amount, then don't blame me for taking people" After speaking, he snorted again: "So that you know, in the past few days, I have locked up a lot of guys who want to bribe the silver money to escape from the debt."
Hearing this, Ye Tiancheng was stunned and stood there.
The chief steward is also a rin with a smile, and the smile on his face is still hanging, but it is unnatural to look at it.
Song San, who was holding the money, only felt that the silver ingot in his hand was very hot, and he couldn't throw it, and he didn't throw it away, so he had to look at his master as if he was asking for help.
He didn't want to end up in jail for giving money.
Ye Tiancheng has lived all his life, and he is also an old man, so he naturally saw that the little flag did not seem to be pretending to be blackmailing in the name of intimidation.
Looking at these soldiers again, unlike the Qing soldiers or Ming soldiers he had seen before, he really couldn't figure out the depths, and he didn't know if what the other party said was true or false.
He pondered for a moment, waved his hand slightly to let Song San retreat, then put away his smile, and said to the little flag with a straight face: "This military master, it's not that I, Ye Tiancheng, don't pay taxes, it's just that this account is wrong, how many acres of land does my Ye family have, how much grain should I pay, every house in the county has a book, you can take the book for comparison, my Ye family should pay it, my Ye family has a lot of points."
It shouldn't be handed over by my Ye family, and my Ye family can't get a point. ” Ye Tiancheng said this with full confidence, needless to say, the account books brought by these red-clothed Taiping soldiers are definitely different from the books of households in the county.
The soldiers and men want to do business, and he Ye Tiancheng is also business, and he can pay off his debts, and he can take the Yejiatian deed in the county to make an appointment, instead of taking this inexplicable account book But after hearing this, the little flag waved his hand and said, "No need, just pay according to this book." ” "You" Ye Tiancheng was choked by these words, how could he be from a high background, and he was also angry at the moment, and said coldly: "Well, even if my Ye family really owes taxes to the imperial court, it is categorically impossible to make up for it from the first year of Chongzhen, and there is no reason in the world to pay taxes more than thirty years ago."
"Whether there is such a reason, it's not you Ye Tiancheng who has the final say."
The little flag sneered, raised his hand and arched his hand in the southwest direction: "It's up to my marshal to decide."
Master Ye didn't know what to say this time, he finally understood the taste of Xiucai meeting a soldier.
The small flag oil did not enter, and there was no room for accommodation, so the Ye family immediately prepared the amount of money needed for tax arrears, and if it was insufficient, it would be supplemented with food.
Judging by its posture, if the Ye family refuses to obey, then immediately call the soldiers to come and copy the Ye family.
Master Ye is really in trouble, and it doesn't make sense to be with a bunch of soldiers, if you really provoke more Taiping troops, then the disaster will be big.
But how can he pay the taxes owed for more than 30 years, this is not a plucking of a hair from a cow, but even a few legs of a cow have to be plucked "If the imperial court really wants to pay off the taxes owed in the past, and my Ye family really owes it, then it is understandable to make up the payment, but the matter of money and grain taxes has always been collected by the county households, and my Ye family deals with households in many things, so I have to let the people in the county come over.
The county Wang County Ling and Cui Zhubo both know about my Ye family, so it is inevitable that he will have to ask the two of them to preside over this matter."
Master Ye saw that he couldn't stop it, so he had to euphemistically remind these few soldiers who didn't know what to do, his Ye family's relationship in the county.
Unexpectedly, the little flag said: "Wang Daoling, the magistrate of Kunshan, and the lord Bo Cui Youjiuqing are not in a good position, and they have been dismissed from their official positions, and they are locked to ask the Jingshi for their crimes, I am afraid that they will not be able to come to your Ye family." ” "Ahh Master Ye was frightened, Wang Zhixian and Cui Zhubo were dismissed and asked when it happened, why didn't he know at all He glanced at the big steward, and the chief steward shook his head slightly, obviously he didn't know.
The magistrate and the lord Bo will be locked up by the dismissed officials just because of the unfavorable payment of debts, which is too shocking Master Ye's mind was a little confused, he knew that after the Ming Dynasty flag was planted in Nanjing City, there was a earth-shaking change in Jiangnan, but he never thought that this earth-shaking change had anything to do with his Ye family.
Not long ago, I heard that there was a "crying temple case" in Suzhou, and he only said that it was a group of poor people who made trouble, and called the new dynasty to be a typical legal action, and he didn't think about it deeply.
But now, when the soldiers arrived at the door of the house, they asked his Ye family to pay taxes for more than 30 years, and the parents in the county were also dismissed, which made him a little unable to adapt and at a loss.
In the middle of the sound, Master Ye suddenly had an idea, and said to the little flag: "My son Ye Fangai is a Tanhualang, who once led a horse into the city for His Royal Highness the King of Qi in Yangzhou City, I don't know if you can make it convenient, let my Ye family prepare for a few days, after all, there are too many money and grain taxes payable in this account book, and it is difficult for my Ye family to make it up in a hurry."
"He is going to delay the fight for a few days, send someone to deliver a letter to his son, and find someone to do the activity.
When Xiaoqi first heard about Tanhualang, his expression was not moved at all, but when he heard that Tanhualang had led a horse into the city for his handsome, he couldn't help but hesitate.
After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed to Ye Tiancheng's invitation, giving him three days for the Ye family to prepare.
On the first day of today's update, all aspects of the plot have to be adjusted, so there are not many updates.
In addition, the matter of settling debts is actually a copy of the three major cases of the early Qing Dynasty, and some readers who doubt that this plot shook the rule and that the author wrote it out may wish to learn more about this aspect of history.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty can also pay off the debt, and Xiucai can also do it.
There must be good people in the Jiangnan gentry, but if they kill one by one, they will never kill the wrong one.

Historically, ninety percent of the good gentry died sixteen years ago, and the remaining so-called "anti-Qing gentry" essentially wanted to continue the good times when the Ming Dynasty did not pay taxes. oshow7 t1706231537:
