"No, of course not!" The tax officer was confused by Meng Han's question, but he soon understood that Meng Han was worried that after they collected the tax, they would have to use a clever name to collect it again, so
Get vaccinated in advance.
With this answer in his mouth, the tax officer was not sure. This time, the city lord actually levied a tax as high as 80%. Even in the entire principality, such a high tax rate has never been seen. Obviously, the city lord
They plan to snatch these benefits from Huangsha Town. Since this is the plan, then maybe the city lord will soon see that they are easy to bully, and will naturally levy another kind of tax and swallow up all the remaining benefits.
Lose.
Of course, this is just the conjecture of the tax collector, and he will not explain this to the young lord in front of him. Does it matter whether Meng Han lives or dies? It is best to be angry to death, and then the city lord can easily take over Huang
Sha Town, then expelled the twins, legitimately took over the quarry as their own, and then successfully grasped this huge profit.
"No?" Meng Han nodded, seeming relieved: "Then I'm relieved. Grace, see you off!"
"Sir, what do you mean by this?" The tax officer was startled and immediately reacted. He immediately changed his face and became tougher. This time he was accompanied by more than a dozen of the city lord's personal guards, and he had arrived early before setting off.
I have learned that Baron Antonio does not have any particularly powerful people under his command. The only feat of repelling the sand pirates was a good deed by the mercenaries who came and went, so it is not worth worrying about.
It’s no wonder that he misjudged Meng Han’s strength. The people sent by the city lord to understand the situation didn’t find any twins to confirm. They all looked for outsiders. Who wants to provoke cursed twins? From these people,
A lot of the news that came to us was hearsay. Especially the mercenaries, those guys who were so obsessed with face, how could they admit that the credit was made by ordinary militiamen who had never received training? Everything was shamelessly attributed to them.
Even if it's not him, it's all thanks to the mercenaries.
The tax official who got such news might still be nice to Yan Yuese when Meng Han cooperated. Once Meng Han resisted, his original thoughts would naturally be exposed. He is the subordinate of the Lord of the City, how could he think so highly of him?
A down-and-out lord who was relegated to Huangsha Town?
"I mean, I have already paid taxes." Meng Han slowly turned around, looked at the tax official who revealed his true colors, and replied calmly: "According to the law, I no longer need to pay taxes."
Any taxes." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Grace next to her also stood up at this time. She extended her hand towards the tax collector and made a gesture of invitation. She didn't say anything, but her meaning was clearly expressed. The lord said that he wanted to see off the guests.
That is to see off guests.
"Impossible!" the tax officer shouted: "I am the tax officer of Stormwind City, and I have never received any tax from Huangsha Town. Baron, if you resist the tax, the city lord has the right to arrest you.
.”
"Oh, I'm sorry, this was my negligence." Meng Han stopped and turned around: "It seems that I didn't explain the matter clearly." After turning around and walking a few steps, Meng Han walked up to the tax officer and stared at him.
With his eyes looking very serious, he said: "Before I came to Huangsha Town, Lord Earl Mars had already collected all the taxes in Huangsha Town for ten years, so according to the law, I don't have to pay additional taxes.
.”
"Lord Earl Mars?" When the tax officer heard this name, he seemed to be startled. The Earl is the immediate boss of the city lord and the lord of the province. Even Stormwind City is also a subsidiary territory of the Earl.
.If Meng Han said that the earl collected his taxes, Stormwind City is indeed no longer qualified to collect taxes from Huangsha Town.
"I don't believe it!" After thinking for a long time, the tax officer suppressed these words and stared at Meng Han as if looking at a liar.
"Show him the tax payment certificate issued by the earl." Meng Han waved his hand, and Qiao took the tax payment certificate that Meng Han got from the earl last time, opened it and held it in front of the tax officer.
The tax officer looked at the signature and seal on it and couldn't help but rub his eyes. Is this true? Looking at Meng Han's smile, the tax officer suddenly felt heartbroken and reached out to grab this thing.
If you tear it up, Huangsha Town's huge profits will fall into the hands of the city lord. By making such a contribution, your status will definitely rise.
Qiao was already prepared, and even as soon as the tax official stretched out his hand, he had already taken back the tax payment certificate. The tax official stretched his hand out in the air and grabbed an empty space, awkwardly assuming a rather embarrassing posture.
Meng Han's expression has changed. What's the difference between this kind of behavior and blatant robbery? Meng Han has been working hard for so long just to be able to openly reject anyone who wants to take advantage of him, but the tax officer just...
Hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Mr. Donald, as a tax officer, openly robbed my tax payment certificate and tried to tear it up. According to the law of the principality, what kind of crime should it be?" Meng Han did not ask the tax officer, but turned to the steward Donald next to him. It was obvious that he had already
I don’t want to deal with the taxman anymore.
"This is a very serious crime, sir." Butler Donald was unusually cooperative. Although he did not say what kind of crime it was, he did tell the handling of the crime: "And he was facing an official from the principality.
A canonized noble can be sentenced to death by hanging, my lord!"
"Really?" Meng Han heard this and turned to the tax collector with a half-smile: "Can it really be sentenced to hanging?"
"Arrest him!" At this moment, the tax officer had no other way out. The only way out was to subdue Meng Han and then forcibly destroy his tax payment certificate. Although he didn't know how he deceived the earl,
But the Earl must be very attracted to this property in Huangsha Town.
The dozen or so soldiers of the city lord brought by the tax officer heard the tax officer's order and rushed forward without any hesitation, attacking Meng Han, Donald, Grace and Qiao respectively.
Zhu had already stood next to Grace under Meng Han's advance instruction. Seeing this, he had already drawn his broad sword and struck at the guy rushing at the front.
Boom, a huge sound was made where the two people's weapons met. Then, the guy who was attacked by Zhu, his sword flew out directly, his arms and shoulders made two terrifying clicking sounds, and his body seemed to be hit by a giant hammer.
He rushed over and flew backwards at twice the speed, rushing into the crowd. With a roar, he directly hit four or five people behind him.
Boom, a bolt of lightning appeared suddenly, burning the tax collector in front of him into a charred black ball. If the char-like thing was not still squirming, no one would believe that he was still alive.
However, the city lord's soldiers no longer had the chance to see this scene. The thin Qiao, who had just held the tax payment certificate, appeared beside everyone like a ghost. Then, those who had originally planned to take advantage of the chaos appeared beside them.
In order for the lords to complete the tasks assigned by their city lords, the guys only had time to see a light on their side and felt a stinging pain coming from their bodies.
It was just a simple sting, but the people who were stabbed felt like deflated balloons. They could no longer gather the strength of their whole bodies and sat down softly on the ground. Their hands had already instinctively thrown
He dropped the weapon in his hand and tightly covered the area where he was stabbed. He wanted to speak, but couldn't say a single word. His eyes were like the bubble eyes of a precious goldfish, protruding from the sockets. He was silent.
Quietly, he felt a warm liquid flowing out from the place he was covering, breaking away from the obstruction of his hands, and slowly flowing to the ground.
The soldiers who were attacked by Joe had only one thing left except falling to the ground and quietly waiting for death. Listen, listen to the sound in the air of their companions falling to the ground one by one.
Sound, listening to the miserable howls coming from the companions, which were also mixed with the strange voice of the lord of Huangsha Town.
"Ground thorn, ground thorn, ground thorn!" Meng Han shouted his "exclusive" magic language mechanically, and sent out one ground thorn after another. Each ground thorn bounced directly from the ground.
It penetrated all the people above, including their armor, and then lifted them high into the air, without exception.
In Meng Han's eyes, he was no longer the gentle and elegant person he was before. He was a cowardly lord who had to be careful when speaking to the elves. At this moment, it seemed that Meng Han, who had been oppressed by the elves for a long time, finally began to break out, and he would suffer from the shame he had received from the elves.
One of them vented his anger through the ground stabbing technique. Facing these guys sent by the city lord, Meng Han didn't even feel a little bit soft-hearted, and he didn't even feel the disgust of killing himself. He only had one thought in his mind, to rob these guys.
The guys in your own industry were cut into pieces!
When Meng Han sent out the fifth ground stab, there was no one standing on the opposite side. There were a bunch of people lying at Zhu's feet, and a few lying next to Qiao. Five were picked up in front of Meng Han's eyes, and even
There was also one lying next to Butler Donald. Meng Han actually didn't see how Donald, the seemingly shrewd butler, took action. The only one who could still move was the tax collector who was reduced to coke by lightning from the beginning.
.
"Mr. Donald, these people were the first to attack me on my territory. Did you see this with your own eyes?" Meng Han didn't seem to care about the dead bodies lying on the ground. He turned to face Donald and asked this question.
