Chapter 20 Two Tigers Fight Next Update

From the moment King Cheshire opened his mouth, Princess Qin's face was particularly ugly. Qiongzhou's taxation has always been handled according to the rules, but she took another way in order to collect some money.

When it comes to collecting taxes, she will bribe officials at all levels in Qiongzhou and let them use 30% of the extra taxes for their own use. It is called land tax.

Officials of Qiongzhou got her benefits and knew that Princess Qin could not be offended, so they did so.

These were what she secretly did, but now they have been suddenly moved to the court. No matter how Qin Si will deal with them, the return of these courtiers alone has been lost.

"Ting Yu doesn't know about this at all."

"I don't know? So was this co-book written under the impersonation of the King of Cheshire? Qin Si raised his eyebrows and asked.

When Prime Minister Di heard this, he couldn't calm down. During this period, every time the king of Chai and Princess Qin had some disputes, the princess pushed the boat along the water, allowing both of them to lose.

He looked at the upper seat and said, "Your Highness, the old minister thinks that this matter is related to the royal reputation, so it's better to be cautious."

"This is natural, and I will not be convicted of anyone because of a few words of advice."

Seeing that Qin Si was not pressing, Princess Qin's eyes immediately turned red and tears rolled down. With a sad look, she whispered, "Princess, you have to make the decision for me."

"How can I make the decision for you?"

Princes Qin looked at Cheshire King with hatred and complained loudly: "I don't know who Cheshire bought, but he took these things to slander me."

"slander? In front of the princess Ziyu did not dare to lie, the princess bought the officials, forcing the people to be angry and dare not say anything, but when she often walked by the river, there was always time to wet her shoes... The princess was afraid that she still didn't understand, and some means should be stopped, otherwise the rabbit would bite people in a hurry.

King Cheshire's words covered such a crime on Princess Qin.

"You..." Princess Qin naturally could not attack in front of everyone, and her anger surged to her heart, which made her chest fluctuate.

The king of Cheshire glanced as if nothing had happened and asked, "How about Ziyu?"

Qin Si saw that both sides were a little rude and shouted, "Enough, I will definitely find out."

"Princess, Ziyu has brought the witness into the palace. Please check it out." King Cheshire came forward and arched his hand and looked at Qin Si's clear eyes. Strangely, King Chai and Princess Qin always stopped after winning a few points. Today, he is pressing step by step, which is contrary to normal.

Qin Si's eyes were a little surprised, and his head was full of pearls and swayed gently. She looked at Cheshire King and said lightly, "Xuan."

Soon, several people dressed in coarse cloth were brought up, and these people were afraid of the officials, not to mention the high-ranking princess. So when he entered the hall, he trembled and kept leaning over and kowtowing.

"You look up and reply." Qin Si moved his sleeves and got up from the dragon chair.

"Where are you from?"

Several people looked at each other, only looked at Qin Si timidly and lowered their heads.

When Princess Qin saw this, her heart moved and stepped forward and said, "This is your Highness. You have to speak well, otherwise be careful..."

"Presumptuous."

Qin Si interrupted Princess Qin's words, and his eyebrows were burning with anger: "I'm asking questions, just listen to you."

With a cold hum, Qin Si stepped down the jade steps, walked to the coarse cloth people and said warmly, "What I ask, you don't have to be afraid of anyone."

"Xiaomin knows."

With a smile, Qin Siqi's golden thread rubbed past the skirt: "Very good. Where are you from?

"Xiaomin... is from Qiongzhou." The middle-aged man kneeling a step forward replied.

"Qiongzhou, that's a good place. I don't know if the people's harvest is good?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "The harvest is not bad."

"Well, that's fine." Qin Si looked sideways at Qin Tingyu and asked, "How many times a year do you pay taxes in Qiongzhou?"

"To the princess, a total of two times. One is the poll tax, and the other is the land tax.

"Allotment tax?"

"Yes, small people have to pay taxes when they occupy land. This tax is calculated according to a few mu of residential and farming."

Hearing the words, Qin Si looked at Princess Qin beside him and snorted coldly, "The land tax? The court has never received such a ridiculous tax. Can the land in the south change its surname? Then Aiqing stood on the Chang'an Hall and went up. Will the palace also send someone to set up a table and chair at the gate of the palace to collect taxes? Huh?"

"Her Royal Highness is angry."

"Age your anger?" Qin Si smiled coldly. She stood with her hands and continued to ask, "How long have the people of Qiongzhou paid the tax?"

The middle-aged man turned his eyes and calculated carefully and replied, "If Xiaomin is correct, it has been five years."

"Five years... So when did you know that there was a fake in this tax?" Qin Si's mind was clear, and King Cheshire made great efforts this time.

"Xiamin opened a pub. Some time ago, a servant working in Qiongzhou government office came to Xiaomin's pub for a drink. He was drunk for a while. At that time, Xiaomin was shocked, but he did not dare to fight with the government. Who knows that a few days later, the government office posted a notice saying that the eldest princess of Mingjing returned to the dynasty and the palace was going to build a new hall, so the land tax would be increased by 50%... Most of the villagers couldn't stand it and went to make a scene, but they were beaten back.

The man said that all the officials in the court were changed.

This is the first time they have heard of such a thing in the Southern Dynasty, and they didn't expect that Princess Qin would do such a thing with the favor of the emperor.

"Later, you met Cheshire King, and you had this co-branded book that I saw?" Qin Si asked rhetorical.

"Yes."

Qin Si looked sideways and saw that Princess Qin knew that today's guilt could not escape, and also restrained the publicity of the past and knelt on the ground.

"Princess Qin, what else do you have to explain?"

"Princess, this is not what I did. It must have been done by corrupt officials in Qiongzhou. This is a frame..." Princess Qin biting to death and did not recognize it, which was expected by King Cheshire.

He shook his head with a smile, and then came out: "Princess, there is another thing here."

"Come and show it to me."

What was handed to Qin Si was an account book, which detailed the income and expenditure of the occupation tax in recent years. Qin Si clenched his hand holding the account book and fell to Princess Qin.

"Let's have a look at it yourself."

Princess Qin opened her fingertips tremblingly, and her eyes were full of disbelief. She said to herself, "This thing is not already..."

"How has it been? Does the princess think that Qiongzhou officials are all vegetarian? This is a life-saving charm." The sneer of King Chai County could no longer be heard. Qin Tingyu supported his arms and crawled down to the imperial court.

"Princess...Princess forgive me... Ting Yu just wants to enrich more money for the treasury in case of emergency." Princess Qin's words made Prime Minister Di smile: "Isn't this treasury in the princess's mansion?"

Princess Qin gave a fierce look at King Chai, and then kowtowed to Qin Si. The gold ornament in front of his forehead hit the ground hard, and the jade sounded crisply.

"Princess, what I said is true. Those money have not been moved. The princess can order people to count them and hand them over to the state treasury."

At this juncture, the silver is small and the life is big.

Qin Si raised her eyebrows, and the bright color of her eyes became more and more obvious. She looked at Princess Qin and asked indifferently, "Do you think you will accept the silver palace?"

"That's what the people have to return to the people. As for your account, it will naturally be clear with you.

Qingmo stood on the side of the high platform and couldn't help laughing. Qin Si and Ye Yun are somewhat similar. They are both good people. This word, heard by these people, will naturally spread everywhere.

Sure enough, the people in cloth kowtowed to Qin Si and shouted, "Your Highness is a thousand years old."

"King Cheshire, you found these people, and they are settled by you. Don't let people bully them at all."

"Ziyu obeys."
