Chapter 631 Rogue Officials
For a while, there was a lot of discussion.
This amount made these prestigious people unable to pretend any longer, but what surprised them was not that the tax department was able to see clearly, but that they did not expect that Yin Chengxing had evaded so much tax.
You must know that the ancients loved to hide their wealth, and they did not reveal their wealth. Everyone only knows that Yin Chengxing is a rich man, but they don't know how much money he can earn.
You evaded more than 3000 taxes this year, so how much do you have to earn?
In fact, it has been the same throughout the ages, most of the wealth is gathered in the hands of a small number of people.
At least half of the land in Guanghe Zhongfu is controlled by the government, or in the hands of super rich people like them.
"Silence! Silence!"
Zhang Fei knocked the gavel several times in a row, finally suppressing the public opinion outside, and then asked Yin Chengxing solemnly: "Defendant, you said that the other party is talking nonsense. You didn't evade so much tax, so how much did you evade?" Tax?"
Li Min and Lu Bangxing had a headache when they heard it. When these people approached them, they were really confident, but they were so vulnerable. They answered a question for the first time, and they were exposed directly. They really are not afraid of God-like opponents, but Teammates like pigs!
Ugh.!
Yin Chengxing was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, and hurriedly said, "No, he was talking nonsense. I didn't evade taxes at all."
When you speak, you are full of guilt. If this is the previous interrogation system, looking at your expression, it is obvious that you are lying, and you must be tortured to extract a confession. But he is lucky. This is the imperial court, and he can see the evidence. .
Zhang Fei didn't bother with him either, "Defendant! Please control your emotions and don't interrupt the other party's complaint easily."
"Yes."
Yin Chengxing nodded again and again. At this time, he was already sweating profusely, panting heavily, and sat down with difficulty, but he kept mumbling something, and his eyes were full of resentment.
But it's a pity that no one here is afraid of him, Zhang Fei said to Qiu Zhengwen again: "The prosecution can continue to talk."
"Yes."
Qiu Zhengwen nodded and saluted, and continued: "According to last year's tax declaration, the defendant declared a total of 26 hectares of land, that is, 650 mu of land, and paid [-] hectares of land, but in fact, according to the tax department's investigation, he owns a total of For [-] mu of land, [-] yuan and another [-] Wen are required to be paid according to the law.
At the same time, he also has three ranches, a fleet, and is engaged in lending, selling bootleg liquor, leather and other businesses. Converted, his annual income is at least 86 guan. "
After these words, Yin Chengxing went from shock at the beginning, to anger, to grievance, and now he has nothing to love in his life.
I sell bootleg alcohol, you guys know that too?
Wei Yingfang and the others found it even more unbelievable. If this is not just nonsense, then the tax department is going against the sky!
Li Min stood up suddenly, "The other party is talking nonsense and insulting the reputation of my client. On behalf of my client, I demand that the other party provide specific evidence, otherwise, we will sue the other party for this."
After speaking, he sat down.
Lu Bangxing whispered: "Since the other party dared to say that, and said it so specifically, there must be evidence."
Li Min said: "But we have no other choice. Yuanwai Yin only gave us this little evidence, and we can only see what evidence the other party can come up with."
Lu Bangxing nodded slightly.
Zhang Fei looked at Qiu Zhengwen and said, "Does the prosecution have evidence?"
"Yes."
Qiu Zhengwen nodded, suddenly took out a small book, and said: "This is a kind-hearted person who picked up a copy of the Yin family's accounts on the street, and then handed it over to our tax department. It clearly recorded that they sold medicinal materials, Profits from bootlegs and hides."
Yin Chengxing was dumbfounded, how could my family's accounts be dropped on the street, "Fake! That's fake! Chief Judge, that account is fake."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "It has the signatures of their accountant, including Yuanwai Yin's own handwriting, and the seal of their shop. Compare the handwriting and seal, and you will know whether it is true or not."
"Defendant, please control your emotions."
Zhang Fei first warned Yin Chengxing again, and then said to Ou Jun: "Ou Jun, show Yin Yuanwai the account."
At the same time, he gave him a look.
Because Ma Xiaoyi is still fighting in other places, he can only be replaced by Ou Jun.
Ou Jun understood it, and walked up to Yin Chengxing with the account. He didn't hand it to him directly, but opened it in front of him. After a while, he turned a page.
Yin Chengxing watched and watched, his face gradually turned ashen, and he was speechless. He collapsed on the chair as if he was discouraged.
Seeing this, Li Min couldn't help being surprised and said, "How could the Yin family's accounts be in the hands of the tax department?"
Lu Bangxing said: "Don't you know the methods of the tax department?"
Li Min said: "They are stealing."
Lu Bangxing said, "Do you have evidence?"
There were also whispers in the VIP seats.
"Thief! They must have stolen it from the Yin family. How could this kind of ledger be left on the street?" He Chunlin said excitedly.
Cao Yidao: "But Yin Chengxing doesn't know what's going on, so what evidence do you have to sue them?"
Wei Yingfang clenched his fists tightly and said, "What tax department? It turns out that they are a group of thieves. I really thought highly of them back then."
Many officials just shook their heads.
No shame!
This is really disgraceful!
To use such indecent methods, you are still an official!
Zhang Fei didn't care so much, and asked, "Does the defendant know this account book?"
Yin Chengxing woke up suddenly, jumped up again, pointed to Qiu Zhengwen and said, "They stole things, they stole my family's account books."
This is tantamount to admitting that the account book belongs to their family.
Li Min also got up quickly, "We have doubts about how the other party obtained this account, and we hope that the other party will give a detailed explanation."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "As I said just now, a well-meaning person picked up this account on the street and handed it over to our tax department, but since the tax department didn't know what it was at the time, it didn't care, and it didn't matter. The kind-hearted man was not retained, and he has not been found yet."
Li Min smiled and said: "Do you believe this? How could such an important account be dropped on the street, and it happened to be picked up by such a kind person, and then it happened to be sent to the tax department."
Qiu Zhengwen replied sonorously: "I believe."
As soon as this remark came out, everyone around him immediately spurned him.
It's so shameless!
This is clearly a steal.
Li Min suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhang Fei: "I remember that when the chief judge was in court in Beijing, he used a piece of evidence to be contaminated and denied the legal effect of the evidence. Dare to ask whether it is valid here."
Zhang Fei nodded and said: "Of course it is valid. If you can prove that this evidence was stolen by the tax department, then I can reconsider the legal effect of this evidence. It depends on the specific process."
".We will reserve the right to prosecute!"
Leaving those words behind, Li Min sat back, and there was only so much he could do.
Zhang Fei said to Qiu Zhengwen again: "The prosecution can continue."
"Yes."
Qiu Zhengwen went on to say: "As for the land, the other party is throwing himself into the trap. He spent a hundred pennies to bribe the employees of the tax department, and the employees of the tax department pretended to agree on the surface, and then took the opportunity to get them out of their mouths. Taking clues, the people from the taxation department have obtained the exact location of their fields. Not only have they measured them, but they are also monitoring them every day to make sure that the grain in the land is shipped to the Yin family’s granary. Now the grain is still in the granary Inside, but the people from the tax department should control those granaries, there are definitely not only twenty hectares of grain in there."
"Batou!"
Yin Chengxing suddenly went crazy, baring his teeth and waving his claws, while roaring: "Batou betrayed me, that thief joined the army, I want to kill him."
Zhang Fei didn't bother to yell anymore, he just gave Ou Jun a look, and Ou Jun came forward with two court guards, and pressed him on the chair, but he still couldn't stop cursing.
Zhang Fei knocked on the gavel and said, "Defendant, if you can no longer control your emotions, the chief judge will take compulsory measures to quiet you down."
This force plus verbal deterrence finally calmed Yin Chengxing down.
"Conspiracy! It's all a conspiracy!"
That Liang Youyi was dumbfounded, his lips were trembling, and he was muttering to himself.
After the scene was brought under control, Qiu Zhengwen passed the batou from Yin Chengxing's mouth to the court.
As soon as this person appeared on the stage, there was an uproar immediately.
It turned out that he came out wearing a mask.
Qiu Zhengwen immediately explained: "Because the employees of the Taxation Department are risky, it is inconvenient for them to show up in public. I also ask President Zhang to allow them not to show their true colors."
Zhang Fei nodded, "The president of the court gave them permission to testify in court wearing masks."
After Batou sat down, Qiu Zhengwen asked, "May I ask your honorable name?"
"Everyone calls me Batou."
It could be heard that his voice was trembling.
Qiu Zhengwen asked again: "What is your current livelihood?"
Batou said: "I am an employee of the tax department."
Qiu Zhengwen said, "When did you join the tax department?"
Batou said: "Last year."
"Then do you know the accused?"
Qiu Zhengwen pointed to Yin Chengxing who was pressed on the table.
Batou glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes, but I have only met Yin Yuanwai two or three times, and I am relatively familiar with Yin Zhong, the old man of the Yin family."
Qiu Zhengwen asked: "How did you know Yin Zhong?"
Batou said: "I used to help the imperial court collect taxes, and their Yin family often had goods coming and going, many times Yin Zhong would come to pick them up, and over time, I got to know each other."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Have you always kept in touch?"
Batou said: "That's not true. In the past, Yin Zhong would give us some money for tea and wine when their convoy came in and out, and occasionally bought us a drink. Later, I didn't serve as a stopper, and I didn't have much contact with Yin Zhong, but this year In July, Yin Zhong came to look for me."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Why did Yin Zhong find you?"
Batou said: "Because he learned that I recently became an employee of the tax department and investigated the area where their Yin family's field is located, so he hoped to bribe me to help conceal their field."
"you!"
Yin Chengxing sat up straight away, and then was pushed down again. When he came to his mouth, he was blocked back by the court police's cold eyes and the cloth ball in his hand.
Qiu Zhengwen ignored Yin Chengxing at all, and continued to ask: "Isn't Yin Zhong afraid of being denounced by you?"
Batou said: "This is because their family often didn't pay taxes before, and they always spent some money for tea and wine. I often collect some money, so...so he still trusts me."
Qiu Zhengwen asked: "Then how did he tell you?"
Batou said: "He promised to give me two hundred guan as a reward, and he gave me one hundred guan first, and gave me a tax evasion report of ten hectares, so that I can go to the business."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Have you promised him?"
Ba Tou nodded and said, "I accepted the one hundred guan, because our tax department allows us to collect money."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Su Zhe looked at him in surprise.
Qiu Zhengwen pretended to be surprised, "You said your tax department allowed you to collect money?"
"Yes."
Batou said: "My tax department's request is to check taxes. If someone sends money, it will be regarded as an extra bonus for us, as long as we work hard to check taxes."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Can I think that I just ask you to collect money and not do anything?"
Batou said: "I am doing things, but I am continuing to work for the tax department, and according to the analysis of our tax department, if this happens, once I agree to them, they will naturally relax their vigilance, which is more convenient for us to investigate. The reason why the Inland Revenue Department allowed us to collect the money."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "So after you received the money, you are still continuing to investigate them?"
Batou nodded and said, "Yes."
Qiu Zhengwen asked again: "When he evaded taxes before, he also gave you money. Why didn't you report them?"
Batou said: "This is because if I report on them, I won't get any reward, on the contrary it will cause trouble."
"What's the difference now?"
"Now, we can get half of the fine as a bonus, which is much more than the two hundred strings. At the same time, the tax department will protect us. Of course, I will not agree to them."
Many scholar-bureaucrats shook their heads when they heard this. What a rough man, can't they be more tactful.
The court police at the side were very envious.
If you do the math with your fingers, if you catch one, you will have thousands of dollars in income. It's really pissing people off!
I want to change careers!
Lu Bangxing said in a low voice: "It's not okay to go on like this. Now it's not as simple as being beaten, our reputation will be ruined."
Li Min frowned and said: "The chief judge said that there is no lawsuit that cannot be fought."
Lu Bangxing said, "What do you think?"
The two whispered to each other and whispered.
Qiu Zhengwen picked up another piece of evidence and said, "This is the [-] guan salt notes and a piece of specific information about the field that the old Yin family handed over to Batou."
"Submit."
"I'm fine."
After presenting the evidence, Qiu Zhengwen sat down.
After a while, Zhang Fei asked them, "Does the defense have anything to ask?"
"Have!"
Li Min stood up and said to Batou: "Your Excellency mentioned just now that the house elder of the Yin family came to you in July this year and tried to bribe you."
Ba Tou nodded and said, "Yes."
Li Min asked: "Did he express his intention to Your Excellency as soon as he came up, and hoped that Your Excellency would help hide their family's fields?"
Ba Tou shook his head and said, "That's not true. We exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then he inquired about the inside information of the Tax Department."
"Inside information?"
Li Min asked, "Can you tell me more about it?"
"Probably how our employees check their taxes?"
"That is to say, Yin Zhong is not clear about the internal situation of the tax department and the investigation system of the tax department."
"Yes."
"That is to say, Yin Zhong didn't know at the time whether he could evade the tax department's investigation."
"Well, so to speak."
"How did he know afterwards, to evade the investigation of the tax department?"
"I told him."
"If you don't tell him how to evade investigations, will he evade taxes?"
"I object."
Qiu Zhengwen immediately stood up.
"I retract the question."
Li Min seemed to have expected it long ago, and then asked Batou: "Did he give you the money at that time?"
Batou shook his head and said, "No."
Li Min said: "Then when did he give you the money?"
Batou said: "It was the second time we met."
Li Mindao: "That is to say, when we met for the first time, he didn't plan to give you money, because he didn't know that he could evade the investigation of the tax department. You told him that you could help him do it, so he did it." I will give you the money the second time. It is clear that you deliberately led Yin Zhong to evade taxes in order to get a bonus."
Yin Chengxing seemed to see the dawn of victory again, nodded quickly and said: "Yes, yes, yes! This guy was the one who induced me to evade taxes. He said that it only took two hundred guan to solve the problem, and he also said that everyone did this, so I was caught by him. Lied to."
"I do not have."
Batou immediately defended: "It was him first!"
"I'm done asking."
Li Min didn't give him a reason to defend himself, and sat down.
Lu Bangxing immediately rejoiced and said, "Wonderful."
Li Min frowned and said, "But Zhengwen didn't object." Having said that, he glanced at Qiu Zhengwen, who was as stable as Mount Tai.
Qiu Zhengwen stood up slowly and asked, "Batou, can your name be registered in the personnel book of the tax department?"
Batou shook his head and said, "No."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Then what is your relationship with the tax department?"
Batou said: "It's just an employment relationship. I just signed an employment contract with the tax department."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Then what is your authority?"
Batou said: "It's just to check the tax, and then take the evidence to claim the bonus."
"Don't you get the tax secretary's salary?"
"Don't take it."
Batou shook his head, "The tax department only gave us food money for half a year, and then we have to live on bonuses. If we can't find evidence, we won't get a penny."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Then what you said, can it represent the tax department?"
"No."
Batou continued to shake his head and said: "We are just ordinary employees, and our duty is to investigate secretly. Even our life and death, the tax department will not take care of it. This has been stated in our contract."
Qiu Zhengwen asked again: "Will you induce others to evade taxes?"
Batou chuckled.
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Your Excellency, please answer my question."
Batou said: "If the other party takes the initiative to ask, then of course I say yes, so that I can charge a sum of money and get a generous bonus."
Qiu Zhengwen said: "Didn't the tax department prohibit you from doing this?"
"no!"
Batou said: "The tax department just suggested that we should not violate the law. If we are caught breaking the law, we should bear it ourselves. They don't go to the tax department to ask, they come to me to ask, then...then of course I am the money delivered to the door, We can’t let it go, we live by it.”
"I'm done asking!"
Qiu Zhengwen sat down.
Lu Bangxing was dumbfounded when he heard that, and said in a daze, "Can the tax department still do this?"
Li Min said dejectedly: "They came prepared, we sharpened our swords temporarily, so we can only be beaten passively."
There were also discussions in and out of the courtyard.
This is really refreshing their lower limit.
Can you still do this?
Is this law enforcement?
This is clearly cheating!
The tall image of the tax department collapsed in an instant, and was replaced by the image of a rascal.
One inspector asked, "Attorney General, can they do this?"
"I don't know for the time being." Su Zhe said, "Let's see and talk."
"Silence! Silence!"
Zhang Fei even knocked the gavel a few times, and after everyone calmed down, he asked Li Min again: "Does the defense have any witnesses?"
witness?
They don't have any witnesses, he just came to see the scene, but the situation has changed now.
Li Min didn't want to be beaten so passively. He thought for a while, then got up suddenly and said, "We request the tax envoy to testify in court."
Zhang Fei nodded.
After a while, Chen Ming came to the witness stand and sat down.
Boo!
After all, all the people watching today's trial are rich people, and this Chen Ming is a thorn in his flesh, a thorn in his side, and he hates it to the bone.
Li Min asked: "Chen Tax Envoy knows someone from Batou?"
Chen Ming nodded and said, "He is a temporary employee of our tax department."
Li Min said: "Chen Tax Envoy, can you explain in detail what is the relationship between this temporary employee and the Tax Department?"
Chen Mingdao: "It's just a simple employment relationship. We hired him to help our tax bureau inspect taxes, and he took the evidence to receive the bonus."
Li Min asked: "Then can your employees induce others to evade taxes?"
Chen Mingdao: "I suggest not to do this, and I also suggested that everyone pay taxes according to law."
Li Min asked again: "Then if an employee does this, what will your tax department do?"
Chen Mingdao: "I suggest that they don't do this next time."
Li Min asked again: "What if they continue to do this next time?"
Chen Mingdao: "I suggest that they don't do this next time."
Good guy, it's an endless loop, right?
Li Min asked: "So even if they induce others to evade taxes, they will not be punished?"
Chen Mingdao: "We have no right to punish them. They are not tax police, they are just employees. Our contract with them is very simple, that is, if they provide evidence, they will get half of the fine. If they break the law, they have their own laws. To punish them, it is not our turn to punish them."
Li Min said: "Don't the tax envoy Chen feel that this method is encouraging them to use this method to obtain bonuses?"
Chen Mingdao: "It is common sense to pay taxes according to the law. Our tax department has repeatedly stated that we must pay taxes. Otherwise, we will face several times the fine. If you are not the first offender, you will even face criminal punishment. If you ask the tax police, the tax police The police will tell you the same.
But if you want to be lucky and trust others, you can evade taxes, then we have nothing to do about it. "
Li Min asked: "Then the other party is an employee of your tax department. Maybe others think that what he said can represent the tax department."
Chen Mingdao: "Then they should also come to the Taxation Department to ask whether these employees can represent the Taxation Department, instead of asking those employees. Our Taxation Department is a government office, and everyone can come to inquire. Everything depends on the announcement. Lord, in the second announcement we issued, it was mentioned that if you don’t understand the tax law, you should come to the tax department to ask directly, or you can ask the tax police, but don’t believe other people’s rumors. Those employees are They are only in charge of tax inspection, and don’t understand the rest.”
Li Min said: "But Batou just said that they are allowed to collect money."
Chen Ming nodded and said: "Yes. They are allowed to collect money, and I also promised that the money he receives is their bonus. Because if someone sends money to them, it proves that this person is thinking of a way Tax evasion, this is a very critical clue, and for our employees, collecting money is also a strategy."
Li Mindao: "It is allowed to collect money and allow employees to induce others to evade taxes. Doesn't the tax envoy Chen think there is a problem with this?"
Chen Mingdao: "First of all, the tax department never advises them to induce others to evade taxes; secondly, everything is based on the tax department's announcement, don't trust anyone, if everyone follows the legal procedures to pay taxes, then there will be no problem."
What a rogue office!Li Min cursed secretly, and said sarcastically: "I'm really sorry, after today, this strategy may not be effective."
Chen Mingdao: "There is no shortage of greedy fools in this world."
Yin Chengxing turned his head to look at Chen Ming, who are you scolding.
"I'm done asking."
Li Min sat down.
Zhang Fei looked at Qiu Zhengwen and said, "Does the prosecution have a problem?"
Qiu Zhengwen shook his head.
Su Zhe suddenly said: "Our procuratorate also has a problem, and we need to ask the tax envoy Chen for advice."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Su Zhe asked: "Chen tax envoy, if those employees have received money and deliberately concealed it for others, how will the tax department deal with it?"
Chen Mingdao: "Terminate the employment contract."
"Will you not pursue their punishment?"
"will not."
Chen Ming shook his head and said: "Because these things are done by our tax police, we only use employees due to lack of manpower, and we have no right to hold them accountable in this regard."
Su Zhe got up and asked, "Isn't the tax envoy Chen worried that this will reduce the country's tax revenue?"
Chen Ming said: "Don't worry."
Su Zhe asked, "Why?"
Chen Mingdao: "Because they need to bribe all the employees to avoid being traced, but this is almost impossible, and it is impossible for them to know all the employees. In addition, taking this case as an example, the other party only sent two hundred guan , but if the case is convicted of tax evasion, Batou will be able to obtain at least thousands of dollars in profits, which is the only reason why he denounced the other party. Our tax department always advises everyone, no matter who you are or what your status is, you must pay according to the law. Taxes, because you cannot escape."
Su Zhe asked: "What if someone helps others to conceal taxes and cause losses to the country's finances?"
Chen Mingdao: "I will bear all the responsibilities, and this kind of responsibility cannot be pushed to those employees. They can't bear it, and the imperial court and the government will not agree."
