When the tax collectors were about to collect taxes from those churchgoers who evaded taxes, those churchgoers suddenly mourned. ←, because some of them have little arrears, and maybe they don’t pay much, so it can be regarded as an easy task. But those who are in arrears will pay more taxes, and they may have to sell their houses. All of a sudden, all kinds of ordinary people were buying houses, and those house prices in the capital suddenly dropped even more. Originally, when foreigners came to Tianjin, the price drop was already big enough, but after this time, the price drop was even greater.

Even, but no one will sympathize with them, because they are the result of not paying taxes with the help of foreigners' tiger skins. Not everyone in this world is afraid of foreigners, and everyone is afraid of those foreigners. So they not only have to make up for the taxes owed in the past, but also have to pay taxes in the future.

However, those who choose to compromise are ordinary people, and many people choose another path.

"Everyone, this time the Taiwanese are here, and our good days are coming to an end. In the past, because we were religious people, we only had to pay some offerings to the church. Most people only paid one-tenth of it, while For those of us who pay a lot, only 70% of the tax is enough. But now the Taiwanese actually ask us to pay back the tax in the past. How can we afford such a tax? At that time, I am afraid that we have to sell the property to pay We can afford it. And our properties are all earned by us, so can we sell them at a low price? Also, Taiwanese people pay so much and miscellaneous taxes, almost as much as the imperial court, but they don’t recognize our status as Christians .That is to say, in the past we could still obtain tax exemption by relying on our Christian status, but after the Taiwanese came, our tax exemption disappeared completely. So, can we accept this result?"

Each of these businessmen relied on their status as religious citizens to obtain tax-free privileges. But now that the Taiwanese are here, they can no longer survive. They rely on low cost to obtain a lot of privileges, and now that they don't have this privilege, they naturally quit. Privilege is just a mental drug, once it is contaminated, it may be very fatal. Once the privilege is lost one day, they all become unacceptable. going crazy. So now they are all in a state of madness, which seems very rude. They now want to obtain privileges, and then they can obtain sufficient tax-free powers, and continue to rely on this power to maintain high profits.

"Yeah! We can't do this, they are digging our foundation. If we just admit it, then we will suffer heavy losses. Therefore, we can't just be like this! We must Resist!" "We must resist, we can't go on like this!"

soon. I thought to myself that the businessmen also started to connect with each other, hoping to cause trouble. In this way, they can obtain enough privileges to continue not paying taxes. However, when they were planning to make trouble, Hu Ling from the State Security Bureau immediately rushed over with people.

"I am Hu Ling from the State Security Administration. You are suspected of espionage and treason, so I will arrest you now!"

"What? Why are you arresting me?" "Yeah! Why are you arresting me?"...

Hu Ling looked at these people, and immediately said: "Give them means. Then let them involve those priests. They must involve those so-called priests, and then all kinds of foreign religious personnel. And There are also those who have a certain status in the religion, they must be involved. Even if they cannot be labeled as treason, at least they must be arrested. I don't believe that they can do anything to us ? We can make good use of this charge of tax evasion, and then give them a ruthless one."

Not only for half an hour, these guys also confessed many times. Then he was sent to the capital for a public trial. This public trial must be tried, and then severely punished. If they can't be punished strictly, then these believers won't be able to know fear at all. In Wang Guorui's eyes, each of these believers is a potential traitor. If they are not strictly deterred, they may really make trouble in the capital. Especially the followers of these foreign religions. They have gained a lot of privileges, and now that the privileges are taken away, it is difficult for them to guarantee that they will not do anything out of the ordinary.

"Everyone, the people who are being tried on the stage are just like you. They are also Christians. However, they chose to betray their own country and nation for the sake of the so-called foreign religion and for the sake of foreigners. Therefore, they should be severely punished .Three hours ago, they hoped to incite the religious people to make trouble, and then let the foreigners enter our capital and let the foreigners kill our compatriots, so that they can be slaves of the foreigners. And they are the religious people, they Saying this is God's will, they think foreigners should rule our China."

And these words made the religious people below very scared. Although they joined this Western religion, not many Chinese people believed in it. In particular, although the Chinese seem to believe in religion on the surface, they actually believe in interests. Worshiping Avalokitesvara is to get a child or get promoted. And worshiping Buddha is all for gaining benefits. The so-called religion is nothing but the expectation of some people who hope to obtain certain benefits. There are not many people who really believe in religion, they are all a group of false believers. Even the religious people in front of them are no exception. They all joined this religion for the benefit and privilege, but they never thought of treason.

Many religious people have never thought of treason, so they are naturally very afraid when they hear about the treason of their religious people. If Wang Guorui implicates all the believers in this way, it will make them feel scared. So, now that they all saw these parishioners being judged, they had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say.

"That is to say, they are all foreigners. Now, we must clean up these guys. If you still don't want to give up your status as a church member, then just tell me, and I can let him go and see you." Their God! I think God will welcome his people very much." Hu Ling said.

When the ordinary Christians heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and many of them threw away their crosses and other ritual objects of Western religions to show their attitude. Because now the Taiwanese are obviously going to attack these Western religions, telling them that if they are not willing to give up their identity as believers in God, then the Taiwanese would mind sending them to see God.

And in this kind of test of life and death, these "believers" have chosen to give up their beliefs one after another. There is not much religious belief in China's bones, and the fragility of this belief is also displayed at this moment of survival. . Now these believers have given up their faith one after another, and then they have stepped on the cross that was once regarded as honor and privilege, so that they also represent a betrayal of that Western religion, and these also mean that they will no longer believe in this religion. western religion.

"Okay, since everyone is so willing to draw a line with God, then I won't say much. However, since these people like God so much, then I'll send them to God and let them go Feel God's love!" Hu Ling said.

Soon, those religious businessmen who were about to participate in the trouble were also dragged to be shot, and the charge was treason. As for their properties, they were all confiscated. And this gave those religious people a lot of shock, because they knew that foreigners could no longer protect them. In the case of the Qing government in the past, the Qing government might be afraid of foreigners. But the new Taiwan government will never be afraid of foreigners. On the contrary, they are still the enemies of foreigners, and anyone who colludes with foreigners is their opponent.

"Now, order that all church priests in the capital~lightnovelpub.net~ who have bad deeds will be punished according to our Chinese laws. If there are no bad deeds, they will also be deported to avoid leaking secrets!" Hu Ling said.

"You heretics, why arrest me? I am a citizen of the British Empire, and I have consular jurisdiction!" A priest immediately shouted.

"Consular jurisdiction? It's useless here! Take it to trial! Anyone who makes trouble here will be arrested. Any religion must abide by the law. If not, we will not let them go. Dare If you break the law and discipline on our Chinese territory, then don't blame our Chinese laws for punishing you!" Hu Ling said.

No matter what those guys think, they will be punished too. And these churches are all places where there is a lot of filth, and these places must be cleaned up severely, otherwise religion will not be peaceful in the future. Moreover, these missionaries have so many privileges in China, if they don't use these privileges to break the law, then this Hu Ling is willing to cut off his head and kick it as a ball. Among other things, it is a very obvious crime to say that they use their privileges to cover the criminals in China. Anyway, it's just making excuses, the so-called crimes you want to inflict can never be excused, as long as you look for excuses carefully, you can find them. What's more, these guys' buttocks are very unclean, and it is impossible for them to hide. In the past, they were not punished because the Qing government did not dare to do so. Now that they are replaced by Taiwanese, it is not polite. (To be continued..) u
