"Left Patrol Inspector, how much should my Ling Family pay in taxes this year?! Everyone in the Ling family is a law-abiding citizen. How much should we pay? We won't pay a single cent more! "Ling Yuanshan said sincerely.
However, he emphasized the words' how much should we pay '.
"Eh, I'm getting old. My brain doesn't work anymore!" Zuo Guangda couldn't help but pat his head and laugh bitterly, trying to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.
"5700 low-grade Reiki. That's it!" Zuo Guangda had completely forgotten about the 20,000 mid-grade Reiki that he threatened earlier. Of course, this number was also the last bit of face that Zuo Guangda thought he could save!
Compared to 5700 mid-grade Reiki, 5700 low-grade Reiki was better.
"5700 low-grade Reiki. Alright, Dong-er, hurry up and pay the taxes to the Left Patrol Inspector!" Ling Yuanshan coughed lightly.
Looking at Ling Dong's cold expression, before Ling Dong could say anything, Zuo Guangda hurriedly said, "Of course, if your noble family is in financial difficulties because you're new here, then you can …" Seeing Ling Dong's cold expression, Zuo Guangda hurriedly changed his words, "Or reduce it a little. It's not impossible."
"I hope I didn't hear wrong this time!" Ling Dong was still playing the role of the bad guy, and said something that made Zuo Guangda extremely embarrassed.
However, Ling Dong didn't intend to pay the Reiki. Instead, he pouted at Zuo Guangda's chest and said, "Didn't I just give it to you? The extra is for the Left Patrol Inspector to get over his shock. "
Hearing this, Zuo Guangda's face darkened again! It seemed like Ling Dong was referring to the small gift that he gave him just now, the thousand mid-grade Reiki.
Hearing Ling Dong mention this, Zuo Guangda really had the urge to vomit blood. If one were to think about it carefully, he was really shameless today.
His gift was a thousand mid-grade Reiki. Under normal circumstances, this was considered a generous gift. Usually, after receiving a generous gift, he wouldn't bother with taxes anymore.
But today, it was all because of that person!
"Damn bastard!" Not knowing who he was cursing, Zuo Guangda cursed inside as he took out his interspatial ring containing 1,000 medium-level Reiki and put it on the table with an embarrassed look. He wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
Right now, he was in an awkward situation!
Seeing Zuo Guangda's embarrassed look, Ling Yuanshan stepped forward with a smile and stuffed the Interspatial Ring back to Zuo Guangda, saying, "You are a guest. How can I let Inspector Zuo go back empty-handed?"
After being persuaded by Ling Yuanshan, Zuo Guangda's expression was extremely stiff as he put the Interspatial Ring back into his pocket. When he put it back into his pocket, Zuo Guangda's face instantly turned red.
"Since everything is settled, I won't disturb you any longer. Goodbye. Goodbye! " Although Zuo Guangda said goodbye, he didn't dare to move a single step. Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at Ling Dong's expression.
"I won't see you out!" Ling Dong spat out two words.
As Zuo Guangda was about to leave as if he had been granted amnesty, Ling Dong's voice sounded again, "Inspector Zuo, since you have collected your taxes, shouldn't you leave something behind? Otherwise, there's no proof!"
"Ah … this … Yangkou City has always been like this!" Zuo Guangda's feet stopped. In his heart, he felt like he was going crazy. "Little bastard, don't go too far!"
"Inspector Zuo, I'm a coward!" Ling Dong said indifferently. Ling Yuanshan, who was smiling just now, also hid behind Ling Dong. Obviously, Ling Yuanshan tacitly agreed with Ling Dong's actions.
"But …"
When Zuo Guangda was about to say something, the black capes of the four criminal soldiers standing at the entrance of the courtyard fluttered slightly. Zuo Guangda's eyes widened in shock!
"I'll write!" Zuo Guangda gritted his teeth and took out a jade talisman. Immediately, he wrote down the amount of taxes collected from the Ling family. After he was done, he handed it to Ling Dong.
Ling Dong didn't even take it. He said coldly, "It's not that I doubt the character of the Left Patrol Inspector, but there are all kinds of people in Yuanzhou. Today, the Left Patrol Inspector came to collect taxes. Who knows, there might be a Right Patrol Inspector coming to collect taxes tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, there might be a few more!"
"If we don't have any strong evidence, how can the Ling family reject them? Please write it down in detail, Inspector Zuo. List the details of the taxes. Lastly, stamp it with Inspector Zuo's seal. It's fine even if you don't put a Blood Soul Seal on it!" Ling Dong said word by word.
"You …"
Zuo Guangda, who was driven mad by Ling Dong's harsh demands, suddenly turned around and stared at Ling Dong with hatred. He wanted to swallow Ling Dong whole.
"Inspector Zuo, please calm down, calm down! My son is scared of being bullied. Sigh, it's not easy for outsiders to come here. Please be understanding, Inspector Zuo. "Seeing that the situation was a little tense, Ling Yuanshan tried to smooth things over again.
"Hmph, if today there's a tax on living and working in peace, tomorrow there's a tax on living a good life, and the day after that there's a tax on having a good dream, how can the Ling family survive? This evidence had to be done in detail! Otherwise, I don't mind using it as a sacrifice. Even if the sky falls, there's still the Ancestor to support it! "
As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous aura spread out. A purple flame jumped out of Ling Dong's finger, flashing with a fierce light. The four black-clothed criminal soldiers at the entrance of the courtyard also turned around. A murderous aura rushed into the parlor like a cold wind!
"No, I promise, I definitely won't …"
"I don't believe your promise!"
"You … You …" Looking at the impulsive and ruthless appearance of the Ling family's young master before him, Zuo Guangda was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.
However, the situation was beyond his control. If he didn't cooperate, they would definitely send him on his way. This was especially so when Ling Dong mentioned the Ancestor to Ling Yuanshan. Zuo Guangda was even more terrified.
What kind of powerful existence could teach or bestow such a flame supernatural power? The leader of the sacrificial soldiers was at Constellation Realm Level Eight. He must be a Star Lord, right?
Such a thought flashed through his mind. Zuo Guangda bit his lips so hard that they were about to bleed. Then, he said, "Alright, I'll write it!"
In this situation where his life was hanging by a thread, Zuo Guangda had no choice but to follow Ling Dong's instructions and write down the name of the tax payment document carefully and methodically.
Finally, he flicked a drop of spiritual blood from his forehead and cast a strange spell on it, sealing the jade talisman with the tax payment document. With the Blood Soul Seal, the contents of the jade talisman could only be seen by others. If anyone tried to change it by force, it would explode into jade powder. Moreover, with the Qi Soul Seal, it was completely Zuo Guangda's signature!
"Heh, not bad. Thank you, Inspector Zuo!" Seeing that Zuo Guangda had written down the tax payment document according to his instructions, Ling Dong finally smiled. The four criminal soldiers in black also opened up a path for him!
"You're welcome!" Zuo Guangda spat out these words from the corner of his mouth. With a dark face, he quickly walked out of the Ling family's mansion with his three cat-like bodyguards. If not for Ling Dong's presence, they would have wanted to fly into the air and leave this nightmarish place!
As they walked out, the corner of Zuo Guangda's mouth twitched as he cursed. "B * stard, Ling family, just you wait! I don't care if you have a Patriarch or a loyalist! On my land, I, Zuo Guangda, will definitely torture you until you wish you were dead. Definitely! "
The corner of Zuo Guangda's eyes flashed with unusual hatred. In just a few short steps, he had already thought of many ways to deal with the Ling family. However, at this moment, a voice sounded in Zuo Guangda's ears.
"Dong 'er, you're too reckless!" This was Ling Yuanshan's voice, reprimanding the arrogant Young Clan Leader.
"The Left Inspector is a leading figure in this area. You've offended him today. I'm afraid that the Ling family won't be able to survive here. Sigh! Who knows, in a few days, he might come to deal with the Ling family! "Ling Yuanshan reprimanded Ling Dong.
When he heard this, Zuo Guangda's heart bloomed with joy. He was laughing proudly in his heart as he gritted his teeth. Hmph, it's too late. It's too late for you to regret this!
"Father, don't be afraid. He wouldn't dare. Zuo Guangda is a fat pig. He definitely wouldn't dare!" Ling Dong deliberately lowered his voice, but it still reached Zuo Guangda's ears.
The way he called him a fat pig made Zuo Guangda furious. However, he didn't dare to do anything here. Furthermore, Zuo Guangda was extremely curious. Where did the idiot Young Clan Leader of the Ling family get his confidence from?
"How is that possible?" Just as Zuo Guangda thought, Ling Yuanshan asked the question that was on his mind.
However, after that, Ling Dong's voice disappeared. Instead, Ling Yuanshan's joyful voice sounded. "Oh, so that's how it is! No wonder, Dong 'er, that's what you're planning! "
When he heard this voice, Zuo Guangda couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer. Taking advantage of the turn, he glanced back slightly. The idiot Young Clan Leader of the Ling family was basking in the afternoon sun, holding a jade talisman in his hand.
It was a blood-red tax payment document that Zuo Guangda had personally written with a Blood Soul Seal!
Suddenly, Zuo Guangda's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. The scorching sun hung high in the sky, but Zuo Guangda felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He felt cold from head to toe. His fat face, which had been twisted with excitement just a moment ago, was now devoid of color!
"Father, you're brilliant!" Ling Dong gave Ling Yuanshan a thumbs up.
"From today onwards, I'll send several of my strongest men of sacrifice to the headquarters of the Tenmu Temple in Yuanzhou to live in seclusion. At the same time, they'll investigate the forces of Zuo Guangda's enemies in the Tenmu Temple. If the Ling family has the slightest accident one day, this tax payment document, which has been personally written by Zuo Guangda, will appear in the hands of one of the higher-ups of the Tenmu Temple."
"Father, I've asked around. The normal tax payment for our family should be less than a thousand low-grade Reiki. Zuo Guangda took more than five thousand, so I think the other families' shops should be about the same. God, how much profit does this fat pig make in a year!"
"Yes, this number is simply unimaginable …"
Ling Dong chuckled. "Father, I dare to bet that if the upper echelons of the Sky Martial Palace knew about this, they would be able to squeeze all the fat out of that fat pig with a simple calculation …"
At this point, Ling Dong glanced at Zuo Guangda, who was standing there in a daze, with a threatening smile on his face!
Zuo Guangda instantly shuddered. It seemed that even his Spirit Source was frozen by Ling Dong's smile.
After a short while, Zuo Guangda suddenly let out a miserable shriek as if his father had died, and then ran back to the Ling Family's reception hall, scared witless.
He shouted loudly, "Young Patriarch Ling, I have parents and children to take care of. Please let me go!" Secretly, Zuo Guangda was cursing the cunning and sinister Ling Dong with the most vicious words he could think of. He had used almost all the vicious words in the world.
When he wrote the tax payment document to save his life, he never thought of this!
But he absolutely understood that if the headquarters of the Tenmu Temple received this document, not only would he be squeezed dry, but he would also be squeezed dry!
