Chapter 108

Not long after Xiao Baoshan left, several officials suddenly came to Ye Xiaoxian's restaurant and said they would take the restaurant owner to see the officials. For a time, Li Hongmei and ye Xiaoxian were frightened.

Ye Xiaoxian remembers that the constable headed by Zhang Xiaoxian is his father. Does Zhang's father want to settle accounts after autumn?

Not only Constable Zhang came, but also Xun Wenda followed.

Ye Xiaoxian questioned Constable Zhang: "I do business openly and honestly. All the dishes are clean. What have you eaten here? Don't say my dishes are good? If you want to catch people, why? Is there any royal law in broad daylight?"

Constable Zhang put his hands on his chest and looked as if it had nothing to do with himself: "Madam Xiao, you wronged us. You open a restaurant openly, and we arrest people openly. We have a basis. I heard that you didn't pay taxes here. That's why we came to arrest people!"

"Nonsense, we pay taxes every month. I have the official receipt here." Ye Xiaoxian knows that in this era, agriculture is emphasized and commerce is restrained, and taxes are extremely heavy. According to status, it is also divided into scholars, agriculture, industry, commerce and military households. If there is no backstage for business, it will be suppressed.

Constable Zhang sneered, "OK, take out the receipt."

Ye Xiaoxian quickly asked Baozhu to get the tax receipt.

But Constable Zhang looked at it and said with a sneer again: "you paid it, but you paid the lowest tax money. That's the tax money of ordinary small vendors. In a restaurant as big as you, it costs 500 money to sell a jar of wine, but you paid the lowest tax money. Who don't you catch?"

After that, Constable Zhang ordered humanity: "take it away!"

Xun Wenda stood in front of Ye Xiaoxian and said, "Xiao family lady, please!"

Ye Xiaoxian looked at Xun Wenda coldly. Her intuition told her that it might have something to do with Xun wenda.

Last time, this man came to dinner with his uncle and uncle. This man was also there. Did they unite to fuck her secretly?

Li Hongmei saw that ye Xiaoxian was going to be taken away. She was too anxious to stop, but she couldn't stop it. So she quickly asked ah Wu to accompany her. It's better for the two to go together and take care of her.

Then Li Hongmei told ah Liu, "go to the wharf and see if Baoshan is there. If so, let him come back quickly."

……

However, xiaobaoshan has just left the ship. This time it is the provincial capital. It will take two days to come back as soon as possible.

Ye Xiaoxian has been there for most of the day. She hasn't come back yet. The restaurant can't open without Ye Xiaoxian. She is very nervous. In addition to Wang Xiucai, there are Liu Qianqian in her mind.

Thinking about it, Li Hongmei thinks Liu Qianqian has a better relationship with their family. After all, Liu Yuanwai also comes to the restaurant for dinner from time to time.

Li Hongmei asks Xiao Baozhu to have a good look at the store. She runs to see if Liu Yuanwai can help bring out the leaves.

……

Ye Xiaoxian was soon taken to the Yamen. She was examined by a tax official named Fang Shanding. Because ye Xiaoxian was suspected of tax, she didn't need to be tied up. Just sit down and check carefully.

Fang Shanding was very unfriendly to Ye Xiaoxian's tone: "you open a restaurant and only pay two liang of silver a month. Is that unreasonable?"

Ye Xiaoxian said, "when I first declared, my restaurant reported according to the standard of two liang silver."

"But according to the law of this dynasty, you have five hundred and one jars of wine in your shop. A meal costs five hundred dollars. If you have ten tables of guests a day, how many liang of silver can you earn a day? You should pay six liang of silver a month according to the highest standard."

Six Liang a month is tantamount to fooling around!

No wonder it's so difficult to do business in the county now. Many businessmen who can survive can't make much money.

Ye Xiaoxian explained: "Lord Fang, that's not the case. You don't calculate the cost. We don't brew the wine ourselves. We take the wine from the winery in the west of the city. It's equal to selling it on a commission basis. We don't make any money. In addition, we have to hire people to open a shop, rent a house, buy vegetables, and hire workers. We can't make much money a day. We can afford the tax of two liang silver The highest tax money. "

"Nonsense, we yamen people have been to your restaurant for dinner. Don't think we don't know anything."

Ye Xiaoxian sneered, "that means someone reported it? Adults, you should be careful and don't believe everything."

"Joke, I don't believe people in Yamen can still believe you? I heard that your restaurant charges more than others. Since the charges are more expensive than others, the tax is naturally higher than others. It's needless to say. You can either make up the tax money or be closed here for a month or so. You can't open the restaurant!"

Fang Shanding really doesn't give any kindness.

Although Ye Xiaoxian has seen some such things in modern times, modern times are all kinds of clear provisions. As long as you act according to the provisions, others can't make things difficult for you. But in this era, the provisions are, but not clear, and how much should be heard has the final say.

She didn't want to stay in the Yamen or make up the money, so she was frozen here all the time.

If you think about it carefully, Xun Wenda must have stabbed it in the back.

Or uncle and uncle.

……

Outside the yamen, Xun Wenda dug his teeth with a grass root and said "bah" from time to time. He didn't know what to spit out.

Before him were the iron tree and the tung tree.

Xiao Tieshu always said, "I always think it's not good. After all, it's my own family. It seems..."

"Bah" Xun Wenda spit out another thing he didn't know what it was, then angrily scolded Xiao Tieshu and said, "what does it look like? What does it look like? When the woman asked you to pay for dinner and forced you to write an IOU that day, did she ever think you were her family? She deserved it!"

Xiao Tongshu also said ruthlessly, "yes, brother, this is the retribution of the second room. They even take our meal money and make our father so miserable. When they go back, people are not ghosts or ghosts. Good old man, we've lost a circle in their house. Let's give them a little punishment to see if they dare to do this to us in the future."

Xun Wenda said, "yes, you know, tax evasion money is a great crime. If they don't make up for it, they don't open restaurants. If they want to continue to open restaurants, they will have to pay more taxes. If they can carry it earlier, they won't pay so much money."

……

Ye Xiaoxian stayed alone in the Yamen. Fang Shanding said that she was given time to think about it and let her choose whether to continue to open a shop or stay here.

She couldn't make up her mind for a moment, so she was left behind the Yamen.

But she was not afraid at all.

She didn't think she had done anything wrong. Now she was just overcast. In addition, Xiao Baoshan had confessed to her. There was someone behind her, so she was much more stable.
