Chapter 81: It's really dark to start

When Liu Hua ordered someone to detain Mei Ling, the two bodyguards behind Mei Ling wanted to step forward to stop it, but when Mei Ling saw Liu Hua put his hand on the scabbard, her face changed instantly. After waving her hand to stop the bodyguard's actions, she walked out herself.

When she came to Liu Hua, Mei Ling said coldly: "You will regret your decision now. A poor constable dared to search my Jubao Pavilion. Hum... I think you really don't know how the word "death" is written."

When the wealthy businessmen around saw Mei Ling walking outside, they glared at Liu Hua and had to follow Mei Ling out. When Huang Ziqian passed by Liu Hua, he roared angrily: "Tonight, I will let you spend the night in the prison of Yangzhou Prefecture."

After yelling out this scene, Huang Ziqian was worried that Liu Hua would mess with him, so he hurriedly ran out with everyone. When the big bull took these people away, Liu Hua looked at the hundreds of gamblers in the hall:

"According to the provisions of the law, everyone who commits gamblers will be fined 1,000 yuan. I think you are suffering. I will let you go once today. I hope you can quit this bad habit.

Recently, I will search for various casinos in Yangzhou City. If you find that you left here and then went to other casinos to participate in gambling, then you will all stay in the prison.

After saying this, Liu Hua announced the disbandment of the team. Seeing that the constables were retreating in an orderly manner, he rode back to his residence. During this period, Liu Hua had only had time to teach him how to ride a horse. After many days of training, he was able to finally let the horse carry him to walk without being dropped.

After returning to the Liu Mansion, Liu Hua rushed to the main house. Seeing Shen Jiaolin and Sun Shidong and others ordering money, he asked happily: "Did you count it? How much silver is there in these sacks?"

"I haven't counted it yet, but according to my preliminary estimate, the silver taels in these sacks should be about 180,000 taels. The main reason is that the silver notes and gold ingots in these two sacks are of high value. After our counting, the silver notes and gold ingots in these two sacks are as much as 100,000 taels.

Although the remaining sacks are large in quantity, most of them contain copper plates and scattered silver, so the amount is not too much, and it is quite difficult to count them." Shen Jiaolin replied slowly.

Hearing this, Liu Hua ordered: "Don't order, hide these two sacks of silver notes and gold ingots, and then seal the sacks containing copper plates and broken silver. I guess the backstage of Jubao Pavilion will be here soon."

As expected by Liu Hua, they had just hidden the two sacks of money, and dozens of officers and soldiers rushed in outside the door, leading a general about thirty years old and in armor. After seeing Liu Hua, the general said coldly:

"You are Liu Hua, right? I am the general of Yangzhou City Moat Camp, Dongcheng. He is here to assist you in handling the case under the order of the Yangzhou Tongzhi Lord Li Jianling. I will take away the evidence at the scene. In addition, Lord Li and you are discussing matters with the prefect. Lord Li asks you and me to go to his place immediately."

In the office of the Yangzhou magistrate Huang Baishan, in addition to Huang Baishan, four or five people in court uniforms were sitting upright. At this moment, Huang Baishan was looking at Liu Hua with a gloomy face:

"Liu Hua, who asked you to search for Jubao Pavilion? I heard that you not only pretended to be all the property in Jubao Pavilion, but even some wealthy businessmen took it away? And you also put shackles on Huang Ziqian.

Do you know what the consequences of doing this? Those wealthy businessmen are big taxpayers in my Yangzhou Prefecture. You took them all away. If they join forces to resist taxes in the future, who can bear that consequence?

Huang Ziqian is your boss. You are a ninth-rank constable. You dare to capture the seventh-rank official. Tell me, where did you get the courage to do these things?" When he said this, Huang Baishan suddenly slapped the table.

After Huang Baishan's voice fell, he sat down at his head. A man wearing a fourth-rank court uniform and majestic expression said, "Liu Hua, although Jubao Pavilion is a casino, he is also the number one taxpayer in Yangzhou Prefecture. The annual tax amount is 10,000 taels of silver. Now you have checked Jubao Pavilion and captured Boss Mei. What should you do if you have the future tax?"

The person who spoke was Li Jianling, the co-magistrate of Yangzhou. In later generations, he was equivalent to a mayor. When his words fell, the remaining people agreed, agreed with Li Jianling's words, and criticized Liu Hua for being impulsive and reckless.

After hearing the criticism of everyone, Liu Hua did not show a reflection and repentance, but said with a smile: "Don't Jubao Pavilion pay 10,000 taels of silver every year? Hehe, I checked 80,000 taels of silver there today, and I have been paying for eight years of taxes.

As the saying goes, it is hard to say whether you can work for the officials who are in a state of iron and flowing water until eight years later. It is said that there is wine and drunkenness today. In the future, let the future adults worry about taxes and silver."

After hearing this, Huang Baishan's heart moved. After looking at Liu Hua, he picked up the teacup and slowly tasted the tea, and then said nothing.

After seeing Huang Baishan's performance, Li Jianling next to him looked dark, turned his eyes to Liu Hua, and then shouted: "Rareless, how can we officials just care about our immediate interests? If all the officials in the world do what you said, then wouldn't the court be in chaos?"

After saying this, Li Jianling seemed to have thought of something, and then stared at Liu Hua with his eyes tightly: "You just said how much money did you search in Jubao Pavilion? 80,000 taels? No, right? Why did I hear that? Have you searched more than 200,000 taels of gambling funds from Jubao Pavilion?"

Hearing Li Jianling's question, Liu Hua said with a smile: "Bizhi estimated based on the copper plate in the sack. I didn't know how much money I copied. However, all the money I searched was brought here by Ren Dongcheng.

If Lord Li has any questions, he can count it on the spot. However, if the amount of gambling funds is not right, Hu Zhi is irresponsible. After all, the officials and soldiers have defeated these silvers, and no one can guarantee anything."

"Let Ren Dongcheng come in." After hearing Liu Hua's words, Li Jianling immediately shouted to the door.

As soon as Li Jianling finished speaking, Ren Dongcheng walked into the room majestic. After seeing everyone, he knelt on one knee: "Greetings to all sirs, I will wait for the order."

After looking at Ren Dongcheng, Li Jianling asked, "Mr. Ren Qian, I asked you, did you count the silver in the sack when you were carrying at Vice Constable Liu's house?"

"The general did not count the silver, but took it back to the prefect's office. I wonder why the Lord asked this?" Ren Dongcheng asked with a puzzled look.

"It's okay, go down." After sending Ren Dongcheng away with a puzzled face, Li Jianling looked at Liu Hua coldly: "Those who are honest and honest in the army are not as varied as you. If you don't have as many things as you do, let Boss Mei come over and talk about gambling money.

By the way, I have asked the prison before, you have not escorted Boss Mei and the wealthy businessmen into the prison, nor have you detained them in the prison. Where did you lock those people up?"
