On the road outside the capital city wall, a shout suddenly broke out, and the pedestrians on the road looked sideways. When they saw a young man dressed as a military officer, they all looked back.

"You are so shocked, don't scare people!"

A short and strong man riding side by side with the boy cursed with a smile. There were more than a dozen large cars behind them, covered with tarpaulins and tied firmly with ropes. There was no way to see the inside of it.

Is it?

If you have eyesight, you can see the wheels pressing against the ground, the ruts are deep, and each car is full of two horses. There are many infantry among the soldiers escorting the big cart, but there are still many horses that don’t carry things and follow the cart.

I'm afraid that the things I was holding were gold and silver, but seeing the more than 200 soldiers escorted and the powerful look, no one dared to make this idea during the New Year.

This is naturally Li Hutou and Sun Dahai and his group. They set off from Tianjin Wei and walked along the way. On the 28th day of the 12th lunar month, they arrived at the capital.

The teams that send gold, flowers and silver can use the station along the way. The station knows that this is something delivered to the palace, and all kinds of supplies are prepared with great care. Moreover, the road surface is hard in winter, and although the things pulled by the cart are heavy, there is no need to worry about falling into the mud, and the walk is smooth. It is urgent, and almost Wang Tong ordered it to gather at once. Several officers who were familiar with the process were not brought out, but the soldiers and servants below were all familiar with it, and they were convenient everywhere along the way.

However, when entering the city, it was a joke. The Tianjin Guards headed towards the capital. It was most convenient to enter the city at Dongzhimen, but what else was the rule, that is, all trucks were going to Chongwenmen in the south.

Li Hutou was all excited. Sun Dahai's family was in Tianjin Wei, but he didn't feel homesick. However, he was quite excited when he saw the familiar capital. The two of them were in a good mood, so naturally they didn't care about the guards of the military guards of the city gate. They just took a few more steps.

There are two days left for the Chinese New Year, and the Chongwenmen who were carrying goods came and went, and merchants took advantage of the end of the year to enter more goods to the city to sell.

The tax collector who was responsible for collecting taxes at Chongwenmen Taxation Customs was busy, and the Guizhou Department of the Ministry of Revenue was in charge of Chongwenmen Taxation Customs. He also sent a chief to watch it here.

Every day, the money flows in like water. Anyone who makes a fortune in it will make money. So in the past, the shifts that were once every seven days have now been changed to one day. Some of the roles in the Ministry of Revenue have come to be tax collectors, make money, and have a fat New Year.

Sun Dahai and the others came here and lined up next to each other. They also arrived at the city gate. The tax collector at the door saw the military uniforms on Sun Dahai and Li Hutou from afar, and was full of reluctance.

In such a convoy with tolerance, there is no cheap money to receive. When I got closer, I found that the grades of these military recommendations were not too high.

The young man was wearing a uniform of a general flag, and the man was wearing a hundred-family family. Although he was dressed as an Jinyiwei, he was the most ordinary Jinyiwei. The soldiers behind him were energetic, but they were wearing coarse robes.

The Jinyiwei did not reach the thousand households, or went to the East Factory to get a blue robe, and it would not count on this acre of three-point land in the capital, and it would also be fun to pay money when passing through the Chongwen Sect.

"What kind of cargo is loaded on the car?"

When he arrived at the city gate, a tax collector came over and asked carelessly. Sun Dahai and Li Hu were both of them higher in grades than this tax collector, so they didn't dismount. Seeing that these two people were not dismounted, the tax collector who came over to ask was a little annoyed.

"Things delivered to the palace."

The transportation of gold and silver is too valuable, so it is absolutely not said that it is gold and silver during the transportation. Even the soldiers escorted are not aware of it. They only clearly stated when they arrived at the destination to hand over the delivery that Li Hutou's answer was also normal.

When he heard that it was something sent to the palace, the tax collector couldn't help but be shocked. He looked up and squinted his eyes. Li Hutou was just a child, and Sun Dahai looked very rustic. How could such a local child deliver things to the palace? He continued to ask:

"Can you have documentary certificates?"

If someone else is changed, you will slap in the face and give things to the palace. You can ask, but Wang Tong's subordinates do things in a rule. Since the other party follows the rules, they will not violate it.

However, the increase in gold, flowers and silver amounts was arguing at the court meeting at that time. The cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue have always refused to recognize it. Without a vote, they naturally have no effective intention.

Moreover, except for Emperor Wanli, the attitudes of others in the palace were reserved, and even the order was not issued.

Wang Tong sent so much money to the palace. At most, he just wanted to send a receipt for the eunuch who had stored it. He really didn't have any documents or evidence.

But then again, any tax cards that the military officers of the garrison escorted goods shall not be checked and intercepted, which is also the rule of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hutou and Sun Dahai looked at each other on the horse. They turned around and asked, and the soldiers who followed also shook their heads and said no. These situations fell into the eyes of the tax collector. Sun Dahai turned his head and said in a deep voice.

"Although there are no documents, these goods were escorted by our thousand households, and the tax card cannot be inspected according to the regular tax card.

Seeing this, the tax collector thought he understood, and immediately sneered and said:

"Two, how much goods are coming in and out in the Chongwen Gate all year round? If every family says that they send things to the palace and send military troops to escort them, then the Ministry of Revenue will collect this tax. We are very bright. If you can't fool them, you can't see that you are also a sacrificial meal. Sell them for convenience, let us inspect the goods, pay the taxes and fees according to the rules and then go there, and we will never need them."

Qianhu, when he heard this official position, the tax collector even sneered in his heart, "The literary and military officials are inferior to the military officers, you, a foreign military officer, are you so openly escorting goods into the capital, thinking that this loophole is so easy to take advantage of?"

If there are more than a dozen big trucks, you can collect a lot of taxes. At that time, the Ministry of Revenue will have a lot of money. Even if the thousand households want to sue, why dare they face the Ministry of Revenue? The military pay choked and made them cry to death.

Thinking of this, the tax collector was even more courageous. He turned around and called a few helpers to go up and untied the rope to inspect the goods.

This is a matter of no need. It is to add three points to the tax rate of the Ming Dynasty law, which is considered the rule of Chongwen Sect, and everyone knows it.

From top to bottom, there are only 15 people in total, and no one can be busy, so there are still ten to twenty people under each person. They are all natives in the capital, most of whom are cunning and vicious.

These gangs know everything about the capital very well. Naturally, they would not take the rustic Jinyiwei in front of them seriously. Instead, they felt that the people coming and going at the city gate were so powerful that they checked the Jinyiwei's goods.

The soldiers who were trying to escort the chariot in front of the river had already pointed at the spear. Looking at the murderous look of the other party, the tax collectors were all trembling in fear, turned their heads and ran backwards.

"Two, there are so many people waiting behind you, don't break the rules,"

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly, his mouth opened but did not close. The tip of the spear was shining with cold light, which was pressed in front of him, only three inches away. I don’t know when Li Hutou took off his spear and took the horse forward. He raised the spear with one hand and stabbed him in front of him.

"Damn it, you can check the things in this car. Believe it or not, I will stab you to death with one shot!"

There was a burst of exclamation around him, and the tax collector's face was pale and his whole body trembled like a sieve. Sun Dahai looked around and frowned and said:

"Tiger head, this is the capital, don't do anything randomly."

Only then did Li Hutou snort and retract his spear. Seeing the sharp blade disappear from his eyes, the tax collector reacted for a long time, and took two steps back tremblingly. He tripped his feet and sat directly on the ground.

There were more and more people watching the fun around him. Seeing the tax collector’s embarrassing appearance, thinking about the arrogant and arrogant person who was just now, he shouted with pleasure, and some people couldn’t bear it and laughed out loud.

One person laughed, and the others followed suit. For a moment, the audience burst into laughter, and it seemed like there was a lot of excitement in front of Chongwen's door.

The tax collector struggled on the ground. He couldn't help but listened to the laughter around him. He gritted his teeth and looked at Li Hu's head who was looking down at him. He took a few steps back and cursed fiercely:

"This is the capital city, this is the foot of the emperor. You are so unruly and have no rules. Do you really think there is nothing to deal with you? It's a big deal. You are going to lose your head one by one."

Seeing Li Hu riding his horse with a cold face and going forward again, the tax collector turned his head and ran into the city gate, and everyone burst into laughter.

The scene was really ridiculous. Sun Dahai shook his head immediately and turned around to greet him. The entire team was about to move forward again.

Who would have thought that the big carts were moving here, and the crowded people in front ran around and looked again. However, the soldiers from the Five City Military Police quickly ran out from all over the place, and there were also teams of people running on the city wall.

There are garrisons at all gates of Jingying and Guards in Jingying, and police can be dispatched. However, Li Hutou and Sun Dahai never expected that it was because of the dispute over tax collection that actually caused the troops to garrison.

Passers-by spread out all over the place, and the soldiers escorting the chariots also picked up their weapons. The two sides confronted each other. A middle-aged man in a sixth-rank civil servant robe walked out with a cold face, pointed at Li Hutou and shouted:

"You are waiting at the feet of the emperor to threaten the court officials and refuse to be prosecuted. Are you trying to rebel? You have not abandoned your weapons and pleaded guilty!!!"

The soldiers and soldiers from the five cities who came out to line up were stationed here for many years. Some people also saw that something was wrong and whispered to the generals around them:

"Boss, isn't that the convoy where Tianjin Wei came to send money to the palace?"

The leader of the military officer who heard this suddenly widened his eyes. Before he could speak, the sound of horse hooves behind him sounded loudly, and a team of knights rushed towards him.

Everyone at the moment was wearing black robes, and the people watching the fun were all strange. When did the people in the capital react so quickly

Thank you everyone
