Chapter 1454

"Lu, that's enough!" Perhaps it was the old man who was exposed and felt ashamed. The prefect's fat face turned red. He yelled at Lu Dutong: "I treat you well, and I've given you many women you like. Why do you sell me so thoroughly when it's the critical moment? What a white eyed wolf! Son of a bitch

Cao Ke was so annoyed that he waved to Sheng Keren and said, "hurry up! Tell him to shut up! What's the strength of shouting? Is it time for him to speak? "

Sheng Keren heard Cao Ke's command. Without saying a word, he came to the prefect. When the prefect didn't respond, he waved his fist and hit the prefect's chin with a standard skygun. He threw the whole person into the air like a ball. First, he hit the ceiling, Then he bounced back to the ground. His face was swollen like a pig's head. He didn't get up for a long time.

"Er..." Cao Ke looked at the serious Sheng Keren, forced out a smile and said: "that, Keren, when did you learn to be like a little fish, you can't figure out the weight? You've beaten him like this. How can I interrogate him later? "

"Well..." Sheng Keren was slightly stunned when he heard that he had done something too much, so he scratched his head and said in embarrassment: "otherwise, you should continue to interrogate the Lu Dutong carefully and give the governor some time to recover. Maybe he will be able to speak at that time!"

"This... OK!" With a helpless smile, Cao Ke turned to Lu Dutong and said, "if you can lead us to the mass grave where so many victims are buried, can you recognize the way?"

Lu Dutong nodded and said, "I know you! One hundred percent! "

"That's good." Cao Ke nodded and said: "this is also a strong evidence of the governor's wrongdoing in Andong city!" In other words, with such parents and officials, you people in Andong city don't know how to reflect to the top? For example, to the Yamen of the state government, or to the East heavenly king? In that case, can we make the Xue brothers commit suicide earlier and do you less harm for a few days? "

"Reaction up?" Lu Dutong turned his lips helplessly and said: "Mr. Cao Ke, to tell you the truth, it's not that we don't want to react to the top, but that we can't do that at all! Don't you know that the Xue brothers have spies all over Andong city! As long as there is something stirring in the city, they will know it immediately! Before you go out of Andong City, you will be escorted back to the prison of the government by a group of heavenly soldiers who have been ordered to come! "

After a pause, Lu Du tongcai glanced at the prefect angrily and said: "in the prison of the government, there are not many criminals. Most of the prisoners are those who want to go to the state capital and the East Prince's residence to complain! As long as these people are locked in, they will never want to go out again! Anti living, can be locked up for a lifetime, not anti living, just a few days to be tortured to death At the beginning, my uncle was caught in prison by the prefect in the name of complaining. It was useless for me to plead with him in every way. Finally, I was able to carry out his body when I was doing a funeral for his old man, so that I could make peace with him.... "

"He killed your uncle, too?" Cao Ke's lips were full of interest and said, "are you still working for him so wholeheartedly? You should hate him to the core

"Of course I hate him!" Lu Du said with an aggrieved face: "I've always been loyal to him and worked for him, but I just let my uncle go. He didn't want to! I think about revenge for my uncle all the time! But the situation forced me, I have no ability to revenge, there is no way, I can only accompany smiley face, continue to work under his hands, after all, in my family, there are old people and children need me to support, if I follow my uncle's footsteps, then our family, can really be finished

"The people of Andong city seem to be living in dire straits because they are oppressed and can't complain." Yang muyao sighed and sighed.

"If that's all, the people will be able to bear it!" Lu Du Tong said: "Lord Cao and your highness, you all know that in our heavenly court, the floating tax system in accordance with local conditions is practiced. As long as the tax related items are involved, except for those parts which are fixed by the court, the rest of the state governments can make specific customizations according to different circumstances. Let's take the most representative industry of ordinary traders in the market as an example. In Zhongtian Prefecture, the tax is 5%, and in Xiyun Prefecture, the tax is 7%. In beibing Prefecture, where it is difficult to collect taxes due to bad weather, the preferential tax rate has been reduced to 2%! But do you know how much Andong will charge? "

"How much?" Yang muyao said: "the economy of Dongmu prefecture has always been very good. Looking at the whole heaven, it is only slightly inferior to that of Zhongtian Prefecture. If we calculate according to this logic, the tax rate of ordinary market vendors should be equal to that of Xiyun Prefecture, that is, 7%, which is more reasonable. At most, it should not exceed 10%, In addition to the unified taxes to be paid on the other side of the heavenly court, the burden of people's life is too heavy! "

"Your Highness, your house is a kind heart!" Lu Dutong sneered and said, "the intentionality order given to us by the East King's mansion, the tax rate of the market vendors is about 7%. But if we only follow this intentionality order, the money that Xue brothers can get will be very limited, and they can't afford their daily expenses. So, After a simple discussion, the governor specially issued an order to announce that the tax rate of Andong city was five to seven percentage points higher than that of dongwangfu! I don't need to say more about what it means, do I? "

"What kind of interest rate is the tax he handed over to the East King's residence implemented according to?" Yang muyao, who has a lot of research on economy, asked with a tight frown.

Lu Dutong put his hands together and said: "the tax paid to the East Prince's residence is naturally paid according to the 7% stipulated by the East Prince's residence! In this way, the Xue brothers can get at least 5% of the profits from the tax revenue of Andong city for their own squandering. Their life is comfortable, but the people's life is more miserable! "

Yang muyao nodded heavily and said: "control the tax revenue, enrich the private purse, rob the women of the people, and force the good into prostitution... Lord Xue, Lord Xue! Do you know that these four alone are enough for me to take the black sand from your head and kill you two back and forth! "

At this point, Yang muyao is going to rush to the prefect and teach him a lesson! However, before she took the first step out, Cao Ke took the lead in holding her hand. Yang muyao was puzzled and asked Cao Ke, "what are you doing with me? Do you still think their brothers should not be killed? "

"To kill is to kill." Cao Ke said with a smile: "however, before killing him, should we make clear everything we want to know? For example, how did the Xue brothers collude with the Xue family? The Xue family has pushed them to the present position. It is impossible without any plot! Since we are going to do it, we should simply uproot the big tree of the Xue family! This is the most responsible account to the whole heaven and the people! "

Listening to Cao Ke's words, Yang muyao immediately nodded her head with deep sympathy and said, "Kelang, you're right. It's the so-called" eliminate evil and do everything possible! Only by uprooting the evil forces can we really fulfill our responsibilities! " With these words, Yang muyao gave up the idea of teaching the Taishou a lesson and returned to Cao Ke's side, waiting for the landing.

However, after hearing the conversation between Cao Ke and Yang muyao, the prefect lying on the ground with a puffy face could not help laughing contemptuously. At the same time, he said vaguely: "I really want to laugh off people's big teeth, but there are still people who dare to uproot the big tree of Xue family in the boundary of Dongmu state?! What if you have the status of a princess? Don't forget that behind the Xue family, there is Huang Qiming, the great judge! "

Cao Ke's words disgusted Cao Ke and waved to Sheng Keren again. Sheng Keren understood, lifted his foot and kicked him on his belly. He pushed him to the ground and glided seven or eight meters away until he hit the wall.

This time, the reaction of the prefect was even worse than that of the last beating. His face was blue, his eyes were full of blood, his neck and forehead were bulging, and he vomited sour water from his stomach one by one. He lay there with only convulsions left, and he couldn't even do the simplest climbing action!

Looking at the way the prefect lived and suffered and died, Lu could not help fighting a cold war! He hastened to tell what he knew: "the Xue brothers used their official power in the heavenly court to collude with the Xue family. They almost seized the huge unicorn and private salt market in Dongmu and made huge profits from it."

"As long as people know something about heaven, unicorn is a more suitable means of transportation than horses, and its specialty is Dongmu! As the most important throat road from Dongmu to Zhongtian, Andong City, though small, undertakes more than 90% of the total export sales of Unicorns in Dongmu! When it comes to monopoly, there must be huge benefits, and the unicorn business is no exception! "

"But no matter how strong the Xue family is, it's just a non-governmental organization after all. It's too difficult to completely control the unicorn market! At this time, the appearance of the Xue brothers just solved the urgent need of the Xue family. Since then, the officials and businessmen of both sides colluded with each other and used each other. They had no shortage of money from merchants who came to buy unicorns from other places in heaven. Even the matters related to the official purchase of Unicorns in heaven were handed over to the Xue brothers because of their superior geographical location, You can imagine how much they can do in it! "
