"It's bad luck, I'll lose a lot of money!"

A group of playboys who received the news hurriedly ran to Chen Xu's Qinghe Villa for complaining, and each expressed serious dissatisfaction.

"What's bad luck? This is a good thing!" Chen Xu, wearing big shorts and sunglasses, was lying on the lounge chair by the pool, licking a mung bean popsicle, and was calm.

"Good thing? No, Marquis, the tax paid alone is nearly 80,000 yuan..." A playboy said excitedly with a popsicle.

"Yes, it hurts so much. It's 80,000 yuan. There are four games left in the next game. The amount of bets will be greater in each game. So we have to pay more than 100,000 yuan in taxes for no reason!" Another playboy had no idea of ​​eating popsicles.

"The family has rules, the state has national laws, and the business law stipulates that merchants must pay full taxes. This is the law of the Qin Dynasty. The money handled by gambling companies every day is like a river flowing. Can we be separated from the law? What's more, aren't you afraid of being missed? Once someone reports in the court that the gambling company operates illegally, if it is banned, we will not get anything in the end. At the beginning of preparation, I asked you to go to the Inner History Office or the Ministry of Revenue to pay taxes on time, but you didn't do it well. Moreover, the tax calculation of ten taxes is already very low. At present, the lowest food and cloth in Daqin's commercial tax calculation law is seven taxes one, and the tax rates of other goods such as pottery, wood, bamboo and stone are five taxes one or even four taxes one. Do you want a higher tax rate..." Chen Xu explained angrily.

"That...are you not a marquis or a young master? Do you have to pay taxes when doing business?"

"No, paying taxes is everyone's responsibility and obligation. Farmers must pay taxes if they are not full or warm. Can I take the lead in ignoring the law? And only by paying taxes can the court officially recognize the legitimacy of our gambling companies. Otherwise, one day a big hat for gathering people to gambling is covered up, and you will all wait to eat in prison. I am happy to go to the cell to visit you with my lunch box!"

"Who dares to let me eat in prison? I'm so tender!" A playboy sat up and bit half a popsicle with a vicious bite.

"Okay, Li Si's home is not far from yours, go and kill him!" Chen Xu said lazily.

Uh! The playboy became timid in an instant, licking the popsicle in his mouth and lay down and stopped talking.

The other playboys were all slutty and stopped talking.

Qinghehou was defeated when facing Li Si, and there was no need to mention their group of dandy playboys. Once Li Si really caught this handle, although the possibility of going to jail was not high, he would not be able to escape the final fine of a large sum of money. Moreover, all the income of the gambling company will be confiscated. The most tragic thing is to lose both people and money after working hard and busy.

The tax collection of gambling companies was only a small matter, but it was requested by the right prime minister Feng Quji himself. On the same day, the Ministry of Revenue ordered Gao Teng to remove Cui Lin from the position of the Chief Secretary of the Agriculture and Sect Sect. When the emperor asked who could be competent for this position, the Ministry of Personnel ordered Shen Gongyan to recommend Feng Jing, the eldest son of the right prime minister Feng Quji. After a brief consideration, the emperor agreed immediately.

At this point, the Feng family had a third-rank official, except for the Supreme Court Feng Quji, the Censor Feng Jie, and the Marquis of Wuxin Feng Wuzhe, which made Feng Quji's strength in the court grow stronger.

The people are concerned about news about Cuju competitions and gambling companies, while the civil and military officials in the court are concerned about promotions and appointments of officials.

Feng Jing's most important third-rank office director of the Ministry of Revenue, caused a huge wave among the senior officials, and the person who was most depressed was Li Si.

After the court dispersed, Li Si took the carriage expressionlessly and went home directly without even going to the office of the Secretariat Government Office.

Today's events seem accidental, but he has been immersed in the officialdom for more than 20 years and still smells a crisis and oppression from two seemingly unrelated things.

It seems that a big net specifically targeting him is already forming in the court, and he is slowly trapped.

"Prince, Li Gui suddenly returned from Chu, saying that there was something important to report!" As soon as he entered his prime minister's mansion, the old housekeeper came forward and whispered to report.

"Yeah~" Li Si was stunned for a moment and nodded and said, "Take him to the inner courtyard study room to see me!"

"Yes!" The old housekeeper stepped back, and Li Si had no time to wash and change clothes, so he went to the backyard in court clothes.

Soon, the housekeeper came in with a young man wearing ordinary coarse linen and a straw hat and an arrow.

"My nephew greets uncle!" The young man came in and knelt down to salute.

"Get up, didn't I say that if there is something, I'll arrange for someone to find you? What's the matter? You have to come back to see me in person?" Li Si nodded slightly and looked a little serious.

The Li Gui family was a secret chess he arranged to monitor Chen Xu. Although he had never used it, this chess move was very important. Maybe it was the most important trump card for him to see Chen Xu in the future. Therefore, when Li Gui contacted Chen Xu, he told him that without his own instructions and arrangements, the Li Gui family would not come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see him or contact anyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

However, the person Li Si thought he was doing this without anyone noticing, but he completely underestimated that Chen Xu, the person who traveled through time, focused all his attention on him and Zhao Gao from the beginning.

Killing Zhao Gao and moving Li Si in advance were the two most important steps for Chen Xu to prosper the life of the Qin Dynasty, because once these two figures who forged edicts and made Hu Hai come to power, the Qin Empire would not have the power to kill each other and destroy the foundation. At least, as long as Chen Xu was still alive, he would not allow such a thing to happen.

Therefore, the first thing Chen Xu did when he came to Xianyang was to try every means to kill Zhao Gao and then slowly deal with Li Si.

This task is currently half completed.

At that time, when Li Gui suddenly appeared, Chen Xu first thought that this guy would be Li Si's accomplice, and then arranged for Yu Wuya to investigate. It was basically confirmed that Li Gui's family and Li Si had a close relationship, so he found an opportunity to send Li Gui to the south. Although Li Hun and Li Qing were still responsible for inspecting the fiefdom and farm in the Hou Mansion Villa, they were basically isolated and monitored and could not contact any important things.

If Li Si doesn't move, Chen Xu will naturally not move either. He waits for Li Si to flip the cards in the end. When the flip is done, it is probably the time when Chen Xu and Li Si are really alive and dead.

Li Si naturally didn't know about this, and thought he had done everything he did without anyone noticing.

"Uncle, my nephew is back rashly. There is an extremely important thing to report to you!" Li Gui stood up and said.

"What's the matter?"

"My nephew met two Miao witches from Ba County more than a month ago in the Hunan area. A man they rescued in the mountains and fields of Ba County were beyond recognition, but his accent was from Central Plains, so his nephew interrogated secretly, and his uncle guessed who this person was?"

"Why do you have to keep an eye on it? Who is it?" Li Si didn't care very much.

"Zhao Gao!"

"What?" Li Si suddenly stood up, staring at Li Gui with his eyes curled up. After shaking his beard and eyebrows a few times, he quickly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Are you not wrong?"

"Although this person was beyond recognition and was blind, his nephew carefully interrogated him and he could tell the many major events that had happened in the Xianyang court, and his descriptions of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the court were not bad at all. The most important thing is that this person's accent is indeed very similar to that of Zhao Gao, and his figure is the same... Uncle, I heard that Zhao Gao was moved to Shu County by the emperor, so how could he fall into Ba County and become like this?"

"This matter must be wrong. It must be Zhao Gao. Last winter, the snow in Shu County was severe, and many plank roads leading to Shu County were crushed and collapsed by blizzards. The prefect of Shu County recruited a large number of prisoners to build the plank road. I heard that the three tribes of Zhao Gao were among them. When these prisoners were building the plank road, they were intercepted by prisoners and several attacks and intercepted by local bandits. Hundreds of prisoners died one after another. When Zhao Gao passed through a cable bridge, the bridge cable broke and fell into the river. Dozens of prisoners and soldiers escorted into the water were also recorded in the documents reported by the prefect of Shu County. I have read it and reported to the emperor. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gao was desperate to escape and survive..." Li Si said slowly while twisting his beard.

"Then what to do with Zhao Gao? Please tell me my uncle!" Li Gui said quickly.

"Zhao Gao is useless, and it is meaningless to die or live. Moreover, this person's inappropriate minds are self-defeating. Now he is just a dog that is lost. Keeping it is a disaster. Kill it!" Li Si thought for a moment and gave the order.

"Yes, my nephew will deal with it after he goes back!" Li Gui said respectfully with his fists.

"Well, don't come back rashly without my orders in the future. But you are actually back and you still have to go to the Qinghe Marquis' Mansion. You said you were back to visit your parents. I think you wouldn't be suspicious when you come to Qinghe Marquis!" Li Si nodded.

"Uncle, actually, my nephew has another thing to come back this time, and he is going to go back to Tongbingqinghehou!"

"What's the matter?"

"My nephew went to the land of Sanxiang because the Hou Qinghe, gathered a group of Fangdao sorcerers to secretly develop a potion. This potion is a helping with love, and is very domineering. After more than half a year of development, this potion has been successful. My nephew came back this time and gave the sample of the potion to the Hou Qinghe!"

"Is this actually happening?" Li Si was stunned for a long time.

"yes!"

"Take the potion and take a look!"

Li Si reached out and Li Gui quickly untied a gourd of more than a foot from his waist and handed it over to him respectfully. "Uncle, what is served here is a potion called the Five Poisons Soul-Suppressing Water. Just half a cup can make the man on the bed, and he can control several women without feeling tired. It is simply a elixir..."

Li Si opened the gourd stopper and sniffed it gently, and suddenly felt a strange and pungent smell.

"This potion really has such domineering power?" Li Si asked in great uncertainty.
Chapter completed!
