When he walked around the main gate of Teng Mansion, Qin Zhichu saw that Teng Mansion had already been decorated with lanterns and drums. The Teng father and daughter had experienced the most difficult period of their lives these days. The daughter almost married the bastard Hong Yanei, and her family fortune almost became Hong Haoyi's pocket. Fortunately, the sky was pitiful and the hydrangea hit Teng Qing's cousin's head, avoiding the tragedy.

Teng Xiangdong didn't care whether the county magistrate was dead or not. His top priority was to cook the raw rice and quickly marry his daughter, let his nephew turn them into a wedding chamber. In this way, he would have a status. Hong Haoyi could not use forced marriage to seize his property.

As for Hong Haoyi's use of means in the future, Teng Xiangdong also had plans. One was to deal with the moves, soldiers came to block the generals, and the water came to cover the soil. The other was to bypass Hong Haoyi and see if he could contact the prefect of Wusong Mansion. In the past, he had also given gifts to the prefect, and the prefect accepted them. However, the interaction between the two sides was not very deep. It seems that this kind of connection must be deepened.

Perhaps in order to create public opinion, Teng Xiangdong ordered a mat outside the mansion to be placed. No matter men, women, young, poor, rich and powerful, they could eat and drink on the mat. Even beggars could receive a chicken leg and five big meat buns. The door of the Teng Mansion was even more open, and anyone could go in to watch the ceremony.

Qin Zhichu entered the Teng Mansion without any worries and gave ten taels of silver to Si Bo, who registered the gift of money from the guests. Then, Qin Zhichu followed the crowd and walked towards the inner house.

When I got inside, I happened to see Teng Qing wearing a wedding dress and a red veil covering her head, getting married with his cousin at the church. Teng Xiangdong sat on the Nanmu chair and looked at the two newcomers with a smile on his face.

At this moment, two officials came in outside the mansion. Both of them were wearing official uniforms. One was wearing a black gauze hat and a green official robe. The tonic on the official robe was a robe. This was a seventh-rank official, and the other was also wearing a black gauze hat and a green official robe. However, there was no tonic on the official robe. This was an incomparable official.

Neither of the officials brought his entourage, nor even a sedan chair, and was walking. Teng Xiangdong saw them from afar, and was frightened and stood up. He often dealt with the county government. These two officials were Hong Haoyi's confidants. The seventh-rank official was the county magistrate of the county, and the non-rank official was the official of the county's household house. His household registration, levying and paying taxes, and releasing disasters and grain.

Teng Xiangdong is a businessman, and it is certain that he pays taxes, and he is inevitably going to deal with the Dianjie in the household. He didn't mean that the two officials were so he stood up quickly. He didn't even care about his daughter or a chapel. He ran out of the main house and welcomed the county and Dianjie, "Mr. Mei, Lord Ye, are you here?"

The county magistrate's surname is Mei, named Mei Zhenping, and the Dian Li's surname is Ye, named Ye Shengqi. Teng Xiangdong usually respects them a lot. For the sake of Yinzi, when they met Teng Xiangdong, they were both brothers and very intimate. But this time, both of them had stern faces and looked serious.

"Official Teng, this time we are here, first, to congratulate you, congratulations to Lingyuan for finding a good son-in-law, and second, to issue a notice to you. The great master has ordered that given the increasing number of merchants in this county and the serious tax evasion, we must conduct a survey in the whole county. Your business is on the first batch of surveyed lists. Soon, we will send someone to your account to check the account book. Please also ask Mr. Teng to cooperate."

Teng Xiangdong was stunned when he heard this. When doing business in the Great Zhou Dynasty, there were a few people who did not evade business taxes, especially those like him who usually had to spend a lot of money to bribe officials at all levels. Their goals were nothing more than two. One was to allow the government to make a convenience in many cases, and the other was to pay less or not pay commercial taxes. If the government really asked the government to send people to check their accounts, he would have to lose his skin even if he died.

Teng Xiangdong urgently said to Master Mei, Lord Ye, you two are mine. I, Teng Xiangdong, have always been law-abiding and paving roads and bridges in our Qingpu County, opening a porridge farm, and spreading quilts. Is the county magistrate doing it? Do you want to investigate me?"

Mei Zhenping looked at Teng Xiangdong with expressionless expression, "Prince Teng, you are still pretending to be confused. Is the great master still clear about you? Well, that's all, after half an incense stick, our people will come. Get ready for the account book quickly. Lord Ye, let's gather you and prepare for construction."

Mei Zhenping and Ye Shengqi turned around and left. The two of them were able to leave half a stick of incense for Teng Xiangdong because of the silver that Teng Xiangdong usually respected them. Otherwise, they would have been rushing with people and like wolves and tigers.

As soon as the two officials left, Teng Xiangdong suddenly lost his claim. According to the Great Zhou law, evading business tax is a serious crime, fine, jail or even house search. If the county yamen really asked the county yamen to take out the business background, the Teng family would be over. This wealth of wealth might still fall into the hands of the government, but his daughter married Hong Yanei and his family wealth returned to Hong Haoyi. Now, in name, it is nominally included in the county yamen's silver treasury. If Hong Haoyi is defeated, I am afraid that most of it will fall into Hong Haoyi's hands.

Teng and her cousin were also panicked. If they really asked the government to send someone to check their accounts, they would be afraid that they would have to go to jail. "Dad, let's do it?"

"Yes, my father-in-law, let's do it?"

Qin Zhichu took all this into his eyes. He saw that he was stolen about evading business taxes, and there must be a big problem.

The Great Zhou Dynasty divided people into four levels, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Among them, merchants were the last level, and the commercial tax collected was about one tenth. The agricultural tax in the Great Zhou Dynasty was very low, only one fifteenth, and sometimes it was reduced to one twenty. In the event of a famine, agricultural tax was exempted. The commercial tax was paid regardless of the year of disaster or a good harvest.

Although Qin Zhichu's grandfather and father were so-called charity businessmen, they also had to pay taxes. The government did not charge a penny less commercial tax because of the Qin family's charity.

Therefore, Qin Zhichu could generally understand Teng Xiangdong's tax evasion behavior. However, as a court official, Qin Zhichu did not agree with his approach. He also wanted to serve as an official. If the merchants under his rule evaded business tax like Teng Xiangdong, then he would maintain the operation of the county government and pay taxes to the court. He could not let him pay for it, right?

However, Qin Zhichu could not put Teng Xiangdong's experience aside. Since he had intervened, he could only take care of it. Moreover, he had already made enemies with Hong Haoyi and didn't care about sprinkling salt on his wounds.

"Teng, I'm here." Qin Zhichu condensed his voice into a thread and quietly sent a message to Teng Qing. This method was also the first time Qin Zhichu used, which was to fool an ordinary person. At this time, any cultivator could hear what he was saying.

Teng Qing was overjoyed when he heard that it was Qin Zhichu's voice. Qin Zhichu rushed before her and said no. Now you listen to my instructions and immediately enter the bridal chamber with your cousin. I will follow you quietly. We have something to say to you and your cousin's new house. By the way, your cousin is reliable, right? If it is reliable, just blink your left eyelid."

Soon, Teng Qing blinked his left eye twice, "Dad, the good day has come. Should we finish the ceremony first? It's not auspicious."

Teng Xiangdong sighed, "Okay, let's go ahead."

The emcee then shouted that the couple would bow to each other and sent them to the bridal chamber."

Qin Zhichu quietly followed a pair of newcomers and walked towards the back house. Now the people in Teng Mansion are in panic. In addition, Qin Zhichu is quick to act, no one notices Qin Zhichu.

When we arrived at the new house, Qin Zhichu knocked on the door, and the door was opened immediately. As soon as Qin Zhichu entered the house, the couple knelt in front of Qin Zhichu, "Thanks to help today, my cousin and I can get married. Please accept a bow from us."

Teng Qing and her cousin kowtowed to Qin Zhichu, and then said that he had great magical powers, and there must be a way to get us out of this disaster. Please save us."

Qin Zhichu said that it was a bit difficult to save you this time. Hong Haoyi was not using conspiracy this time, but was performing his duties as a county magistrate upright and investigated the situation of evading business taxes. If you have no stain on yourself, you don’t have to be afraid of Hong Haoyi. But you have difficulties in this regard, it is really too difficult."

"There must be a solution. As long as you can help us overcome this difficulty, we are willing to agree to any conditions." Teng Qing's cousin said anxiously.

Qin Zhichu thought about it, "The only way to resolve this situation is to let Hong Haoyi withdraw his official mission and not investigate the bottom line of your Teng family. If you want to solve this problem once and for all, you have to risk confiscating the property and sue the Jiangzhou Governor and others, and ask the governor to investigate Hong Haoyi's corruption and bribery. With these greedy things done by Hong Haoyi, there is a great possibility that he will be defeated, but even if the matter is done, your Teng family will not be able to save it."

", is there any way to have the best of both worlds?" Teng Qing asked.

"Yes, but this method also requires some risk. I have an arrow here. Who dares to take this arrow to meet Hong Haoyi? If Hong Haoyi is willing to meet you, you only need to do this, and there is a great possibility of solving this crisis."

Qin Zhichu took out a rune arrow. He wanted to use the rune arrow to shock Hong Haoyi, making him mistakenly think that it had something to do with the Teng family, so that Hong Haoyi would not dare to act rashly.

Teng Qing and her cousin looked at each other. Now there is no other way to think about it, so they can only treat it as a living person.
