Yang Xing and the Embroidered Uniform Guards suddenly launched an attack.
In an instant, even with Li Yuan and the others 'composure, they could not help but fall into panic.
Over here.
Li Yuan stared at Yang Xing and said stubbornly,""The taxes that His Majesty needs are too much. We can't afford it at all!”
Yang Xing looked at Li Yuan coldly and said indifferently,""According to His Majesty's orders, each family will receive 100,000 strings of strings, 100,000 stones of grain, 50,000 bolts of silk, 100,000 pieces of cloth, and 20,000 tons of brocade. Are you really unable to bear the burden?"
Even Yang Xing's tone was extremely cold.
However, these family heads were all people who would not act until they saw the rabbit.
How could he let go?
"Yes, yes, yes. We really can't afford it!”
"This year's harvest is average, and the family business has suffered heavy losses.”
"We've done our best!"
These family heads might not have any other abilities, but their ability to seize opportunities was stronger than the previous one?
However, what they did not expect was…
Yang Xing slowly stood up, his gaze lingering on everyone. Then, he said word by word,"Last year, the Wang family of Taiyuan collected 750,000 strings of money, 900,000 bolts of silk, 1,120,000 pieces of cloth, and 90,000 tons of brocade.”
"The Li family collected 590,000 strings of money last year, 770,000 bolts of silk, 1,090,000 pieces of cloth, and 60,000 tons of brocade.”
"The Zheng family of Xingyang, last year…"
“……”
When Yang Xing said word by word, the annual income of each family was almost exactly the same.
In just an instant, the faces of the various family heads, including Li Yuan, instantly turned ashen.
He stared blankly at Yang Xing, not knowing what to say.
On the other side.
Yang Xing didn't care, he just looked at them coldly and said sternly,"So, it's not that you can't afford it, but that you don't want to!”
As he spoke, Yang Xing's tone became even colder,"According to the laws of the Great Sui Dynasty, anyone who evades taxes for no reason will be killed without mercy!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
"Tsk!"
The sound of metal clashing could be heard.
Behind Yang Xing, all the Embroidered Uniform Guards unsheathed their weapons without hesitation.
Yang Xing continued,""Of course, if you want to avoid the death penalty, you can pay double the tax now!”
"At the same time, you will have to hand over 30% of all the income in Longyou every year.”
After that sentence.
The faces of Li Yuan and the others were already incomparably ugly.
They all looked at Yang Xing fiercely, their eyes filled with unconcealed killing intent.
Double tax?
That was 200,000 strings of money, 200,000 stones of grain, 100,000 bolts of silk, 200,000 pieces of cloth, and 40,000 tons of brocade?
Such an astronomical figure was equivalent to a huge loss even with the financial resources of each family.
Moreover, Yang Xing was asking for an exorbitant price.
30% of their annual income?
Wasn't this equivalent to taking their lives?
"Yang Xing! Don't go too far!"
Li Yuan gritted his teeth and spat out each word.
At this moment.
The heads of the various families could not help but look at each other.
Finally, under everyone's hint.
A small family from Taiyuan stood up.
He calmed himself down and took a deep breath.
He pointed at Yang Xing and shouted,"Yang Xing!" As the Imperial Commander of the Brocade Guard, you abused your power and threatened us! Wasn't he afraid of incurring the wrath of the public by carrying such a burden?？”
"This old man is going to face the Saint immediately and tell you about your countless crimes!”
He reprimanded her.
This person only felt that he was completely satisfied.
The grievance from before was swept away.
It was really satisfying.
Yang Xing, on the other hand, was smiling at him.
No matter how harsh his words were, Yang Xing always laughed it off.
Just as this person finished speaking.
"Are you done?"
Yang Xing chuckled and waved his hand slowly.”
"Where are the Embroidered Uniform Guards?"
A shout!
Ji Gang and his Jinyiwei immediately cupped their hands."Here!"
Yang Xing gently nodded his head in the direction of that person.""Take him down."
In an instant.
Under Ji Gang's lead, the Embroidered Uniform Guards who had risen up immediately pressed the person to the ground.
"What are you doing? I am an official of the imperial court, a man from Longgang County! What right do you have to arrest me?"
Yang Xing was still in his mansion, and he was still capturing people without any restraint.
Li Yuan was filled with anger and could no longer suppress it.""Yang Xing!"
Li Yuan's face was already slightly distorted as he shouted,""This is the Li family mansion! Aren't you Embroidered Uniform Guards being too presumptuous!”
"If you want to capture someone, have you asked this old master?”
Yang Xing raised his head, his face expressionless.
He looked at Yang Xing fearlessly."Our Embroidered Uniform Guards act first and report later.”
"When will the whole world be ruled by the king? Since your Li Residence is in the Great Sui, why can't our Jinyiwei arrest people?”
Yang Xing's tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable majesty!
Even Li Yuan couldn't help but grit his teeth, and his tone unconsciously weakened.""Then you have to give a reason. If you arrest someone for no reason, even if you go to His Majesty, this old man will have something to say!”
"You want a reason? Sure."
Yang Xing smiled and pointed at the family head who was being escorted."Bring up Chai Wu and Chai Wen, the two traitors that he is hiding in his residence!”
Li Yuan's expression changed instantly.
