Dudian felt strange but followed into the living room.
In addition to Gray, there were two figures in the living room. One was a fat middle-aged man with a full belly. There were three or four gold rings on his fingers. The other was a thin man wearing a black gentleman's suit. His hair was neatly combed. He looked like an aristocrat.
"Gray, pay attention to your attitude!" Dudian heard the thin man's voice as he came in.
Gray clenched his fists and looked at him angrily. "We bought this house, and the tax has been written clearly in the contract. You want to raise the property tax? That's not legal at all!"
The fat middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Illegal? You are just a small tailor. What do you know about the law? The entire Lin Kang street is my territory. In my territory, my words are the law. Even if you go to the magistrate, you are welcome to go there at any time. "
Gray gritted his teeth: "You are robbing!"
"Well, you are slandering, slandering, and attacking me. I can sue you!" The thin man said in a cold voice.
At this time, Jura looked at Gray's red face. She quickly held his hand and said to Obese middle-aged man: "Give us some time to discuss this matter. We really can't afford such a high tax."
Fat middle-aged man indifferently said: "You are very sensible, but I have already given you a few days, today is the last day, I will come again in the evening, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer." With that said, he stood up, adjusted his collar, slightly raised his head, and walked in front of Gray.
"Wait a minute." At this time, a figure blocked in front of him. It was Dudian.
"Huh?" Fatty bowed his head and looked at Dudian, whose head only reached his chin. He frowned: "Little guy, who are you?"
At this time, Gray also noticed Dudian. He was stunned as he saw Dudian's complete change in appearance: "Dean? You, you are back? "
Dean nodded slightly, then looked up at the obese middle-aged man: "I think it's very hard for you to go back and forth with your figure. It's better to talk about it. Moreover, we don't like to be disturbed by others."
The obese middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "Little guy, you are quite sensible. I heard that Gray has an adopted child. Is that you?"
Dudian didn't answer him, but continued: "First of all, according to the land law, chapter 3, article 6, anyone who buys land and real estate must pay the property tax and rent. It can be seen that aunt and uncle have paid the fees when they bought the house. Otherwise, they wouldn't get the property certificate. So, the problem comes."
"In Chapter 4, Section 7 of the Law, all the ownership rights and taxes of a house belong to the owner of the house. Only the lord of the house has the right to reclaim it."
Dean looked at him: "Did you say that the entire Lin Kang street is your territory? Can I see the proof of your territory? Even if you want to collect taxes, you'll need to go to the Magistrate's Court and show your lord certificate under the witness of the Magistrate. Only then will you be able to obtain the tax contract, right? "
The obese middle-aged man could not help but be stunned.
The thin man who followed him was startled for a moment. His face turned gloomy: "Little guy, what nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you can see the proof of the lord?"
Dean looked up at him and calmly said: "If you can't come up with the proof of the lord, then please leave and don't disturb me again. Otherwise, I will arrest you as a sinner who has disturbed the residents!"
Hearing this, the people present were surprised.
The thin man responded and laughed: "Arrest me? Little guy, I think you are too young to understand. If you continue to talk nonsense, I will directly send you to the guards. "
"I don't need you to send me." Dean took out the medal of the guards and indifferently said: "Based on what you just said, I can sue you for slandering the guards and arrest you! As for the crime, according to the seventh article of the law, maliciously slandering the nobles will be sentenced to three years in prison. Slandering the guards will be sentenced to two years in prison. If you attack the guards, you will be sentenced to death! "
"Which one do you want?" Dean looked up at the two of them.
The obese middle-aged man and the thin man looked at the medal of the guards. Their eyes widened and their faces were full of disbelief. They were speechless.
Jura and her husband were stunned to see the familiar medal. Soon they remembered the purpose of Dean's three years of training. They looked at each other and saw the excitement and surprise in each other's eyes. They did not expect that Dean would succeed!
"You, are you a guard?" The obese middle-aged man still couldn't believe it. It was the first time he had seen such a small guard.
Dean indifferently said: "Are you questioning me?"
The obese middle-aged man quickly shook his head. Although it was inconceivable, but he still recognized the medal. Moreover, pretending to be a guard was a big crime. It was not as simple as being beheaded.
"It is the first time I have seen such a small … such a young and promising guard." The obese middle-aged man dryly laughed.
Dean indifferently said: "This only shows that you are not a real lord. There are many guards like me. Before reaching the age of 16, we will join the aristocratic guard establishment to gain experience. After reaching the age of 16, we will be transferred to guard the 'boundary wall' and the giant wall." The 'boundary wall' referred to the high wall in the middle of each area. In the aristocracy, it was called 'the wall of the rich and the poor'.
The fat middle-aged man looked a bit embarrassed as he said: "I, I really am the lord of this place. My grandfather was once a great knight and was given this territory, but …" Speaking up to here, he felt a bit resentful and didn't continue.
"It's just that this territory was given to your grandpa knight by a noble, and he's no longer around, so the territory lost its legitimacy and was taken back. Of course, maybe that noble forgot to take it back, so you guys continue to call yourselves lords." Dean indifferently said: "But it is illegal. I think if you disappear immediately, I can consider not to pursue it."
The obese middle-aged man and the thin man looked at each other. They immediately bent down and said: "Then we will leave first." Then they moved away from Dean's side.
Not long after, the carriage outside the door roared and left under the pain of the whip.
Dean looked up at Jura and her husband. He hadn't seen them for three years. There were a few wrinkles on the corners of their eyes. They should be in their thirties. In this world, the concept of thirty years old was similar to the concept of fifty years old in the old era.
Jura and her husband recovered and looked at Dean in amazement. They didn't expect that the trouble that had previously troubled them would be solved in just a few words from Dean. Gray was overjoyed. "You graduated smoothly? You're indeed my son. Haha, I didn't expect that my son would become a guard. Tomorrow, I'll go to the factory and tell my fellow workers about it. I'll make them jealous."
Jura glanced at him and smiled as she stroked Dean's hair: "You have been tanned so much. You must have suffered a lot in the past three years."
Dean smiled: "It's nothing. But I can't stay for long. I have to perform a task in a few days. I can't accompany you."
Jura was stunned: "Perform a task? What task? Is it dangerous? "
"It's not dangerous. Don't worry."
"That's good."
Gray laughed: "What danger can there be as a guard? It's nothing more than accompanying the aristocracy to stroll around. Now that we have the protection of the Holy Church, those evil devils won't dare to show up."
Jura snapped: "Just in case!"
Gray smiled and shook his head. He didn't say anything.
That night, Jura prepared a very sumptuous dinner for Dean to celebrate his return and becoming a guard. After dinner, Dean said to both of them: "Auntie, I want to borrow some money. It's a bit much this time."
Jura laughed: "Why do you want to borrow money? How much do you want?"
