Ling Dong shook his head as he looked at Zuo Guangda, who was sobbing like a slug in front of him. If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have acted like a virgin.
He should have just accepted the Ling family's tribute and collected the Ling family's taxes. Then, he would have had a good meal. He would have rather forced Ling Dong to confront him on the battlefield.
Ling Dong didn't expect Zuo Guangda to leave him with such a big weakness. It could be assumed that Zuo Guangda, the marquis, was used to being tyrannical. Coupled with Ling Dong's deliberate guidance, Zuo Guangda had personally left behind such a weakness that Ling Dong could use against him.
"Young Clan Leader Ling, please let me go. I was blinded by greed. From now on, as long as I'm in Yangkou City, the Ling family won't have to pay a single Reiki tax!" Zuo Guangda cried pitifully.
If Ling Yuanshan and Ling Yuefeng hadn't seen this guy's sinister face, they would have been fooled by him.
"Left Patrol Inspector, what are you saying? Get up quickly, get up quickly. Our Ling Family will definitely not refuse to pay these taxes!" Ling Yuanshan once again pretended to be a good person, but in his heart, he was so happy that he wanted to laugh out loud.
"Give it back to you? I wouldn't dare!" However, Ling Dong had a cold smile on his face. "If I return it to you now, I'm afraid that before tomorrow, our Ling Family will be swallowed whole."
"Zuo, you know what I mean. If I'm good, you're good. If I'm bad …" Ling Dong said directly.
Upon hearing these words, Zuo Guangda stopped wailing. His heart sank endlessly. The young clan leader of the Ling family was much more cunning and experienced than he had imagined. He directly pointed out the relationship between the two families.
"But … but the Ling family is new. There will definitely be people with bad intentions. You can't put all this on me!" Zuo Guangda said with a sad face.
"Inspector Zuo, you're a smart man. The Ling family isn't stupid either. You should understand what I mean!" Ling Dong said meaningfully.
After pausing for a moment, a bitter smile appeared on Zuo Guangda's face again. "Understood … Farewell …" After leaving these words, Zuo Guangda walked out of the parlor in a daze. He took his three guards and rushed into the sky from the Ling Family's courtyard without any regard for etiquette, quickly leaving the place.
Now that things had come to this point, any pretense would be useless.
After leaving the Ling family, one of Zuo Guangda's guards stepped forward and said, "My Lord, the Ling family dared to threaten you and attack you. How despicable. Do you want me to send a message to them? Those gangs and families that want to curry favor with you.. they'll definitely bring it on the Ling family!"
"Slap!"
"Bastard, are you trying to get me killed?" Zuo Guangda slapped him without even thinking. This made the Constellation Realm martial artist who said he was beaten feel extremely embarrassed, and even more puzzled.
This was because these guards didn't know about the deeper conflict between Ling Dong and Zuo Guangda regarding the tax payment document. But at this moment, the guard's reminder reminded Zuo Guangda of this point. A fierce light flashed in his eyes as Zuo Guangda landed on the ground. The three guards with cautious expressions also landed on the ground after Zuo Guangda.
"Alright, you've been frightened today. However, you'd better keep your mouths shut about today's matter. If you say anything that will damage my reputation, hmph!" Zuo Guangda snorted coldly. A large amount of green light shot out from his finger, and a pile of medium-grade Reiki fell to the ground.
"These 3,000 medium-grade Reiki are your rewards. You can divide them among the three of you!" Zuo Guangda was a classic example of giving a sweet date after giving a slap.
Hearing this, the three guards were overjoyed. Zuo Guangda had always been stingy. When had he ever been so generous? Rewarding 1,000 medium-grade Reiki at once was simply unprecedented.
Overjoyed, the three guards saluted Zuo Guangda in unison. Then, they bent down and pounced on the pile of medium-grade Reiki, afraid that they would be too slow to pick them up.
At the instant when the three guards bent over, a tiny sword light shot out from Zuo Guangda's hand, and three bloody heads rolled onto the ground. When the three Astral Souls of the three panic-stricken Astral Souls jumped out, a faint scarlet light gushed out, and before they could even let out a scream, the Astral Souls dissipated into the most primitive energy of Heaven and Earth.
"Hmph, if today's matter is spread out by the three of you, I, Zuo Guangda, will become a pushover. How can I raise my head in the future? As for guards, I can hire a lot of Reiki! "
After carefully erasing the traces and destroying the corpses, Zuo Guangda once again soared into the sky and headed straight for Yangkou City.
In Yangkou City, in a luxurious mansion, Zuo Guangda rolled into it like a meatball, crying and yelling. The warrior inside was so shocked that he scolded angrily, "What are you crying for? I'm not dead yet. What are you yelling for?"
"Fifth Lord, Fifth Lord, help me!" While speaking, Zuo Guangda had already thrown himself in front of the warrior with tears and snot.
Before he could get close, he was kicked away by the warrior. "Old Zuo, you're a master of the Constellation Realm. Why are you asking me, a rookie of the Quasi Star Realm, for help?"
"Fifth Lord, I'm doing this for you! Today, I went to deal with the Ling family according to your instructions, but I was cheated by the Ling family! "Zuo Guangda's crying and yelling made the Fifth Lord frown.
"Cheated by the Ling family? What happened? They're not even a third-rate family. How could they be cheated? With the guards you brought, you should be able to wipe them out, right? "Cui Wu frowned." Speak, what happened? "
Following this, Cui Wu told the story with tears and snot. However, the process was extremely exaggerated, including the deaths of the guards being blamed on the Ling family.
"Idiot!" After hearing Zuo Guangda's account, Cui Wu kicked him again. "Your brain is full of fat. Even if a knife is at your neck, you can't write that tax payment document!"
"I … I was scared by them. The Ling family's men of sacrifice are really too terrifying …"
Even if you stretch your neck out, they are just newcomers to this place. How dare they attack you with a knife? Did you grow up eating sh * t?! "Cui Wu kicked him furiously. The strange thing was that even though Zuo Guangda's cultivation was a realm higher than Cui Wu's, Zuo Guangda didn't dare to use his Qi to protect his body and allowed Cui Wu to kick him.
After a round of violent kicks, Cui Wu finally calmed down, as if he had vented his anger.
"Master Wu, you have to help me this time. I didn't expect that kid to be so sinister. He unknowingly got hold of a big piece of evidence against me." At this time, Zuo Guangda said pitifully.
"A big piece of evidence!" Cui Wu's gaze was a bit sinister. However, thinking about this fat pig's filial piety, Cui Wu muttered to himself for a long time before saying, "The tax for these two months hasn't been paid yet, right?"
"No, it's sent to the headquarters once every three months," Zuo Guangda replied.
"Your problem isn't easy to solve, but you're quite lucky. You wrote a proposal to increase the taxes of the newcomers. You don't need me to teach you the things inside, right? "Cui Wu said.
Zuo Guangda's eyes suddenly lit up and he nodded vigorously.
However, Cui Wu continued, "Sign it two months in advance and say that you've already started trying. Once you're done, give it to me. I'll directly ask my brother-in-law to come forward and settle this matter!
Also, when you're paying the tax for these three months, send the tax case you fabricated together with the tax crystals. As long as the Ling family isn't an exception, then even if the tax document reaches the headquarters, it'll be nothing! Who knows, you might even get some benefits! "
Zuo Guangda first thought for a while, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He gave Cui Wu a thumbs up and said, "Master Wu is brilliant!"
"Hmph!" Cui Wu nodded rather complacently. "However, I'll pay my share of the extra tax crystals. You know what to do, right?"
Hearing this, Zuo Guangda's fat face instantly scrunched up like a bitter gourd. "This little one understands!"
"Scram!"
Following Cui Wu's words, Zuo Guangda rolled out of the mansion like a meatball. When he was far away from the mansion, Zuo Guangda fiercely spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, which made a hole in the brick wall beside him!
"Bah, a coward who lives off a woman! Brother-in-law my ass! " Zuo Guangda, who still hadn't had enough, cursed as he walked back to his residence. In his mind, he was already thinking about what Cui Wu told him to do.
To be honest, Cui Wu's method wasn't that great. However, if he had the support of the person above Cui Wu, then the tax document might really be nothing.
At the same time, in the Cui Mansion, Cui Wu's brows were tightly knitted together.
"What's going on? Why hasn't the Ling family moved out? Why isn't this haunted house working? None of the families who have moved in have been able to stay for half a month … "
After thinking for a long time, Cui Wu glanced at the night sky. "This won't do. It's not far from the time Brother-in-law set to come here to investigate the strange situation. The Ling family must move out! If I can't even do such a small thing, then the people around Brother-in-law who already look down on me … "
Cui Wu's cheeks flashed with an inexplicable blush. Some wanton voices were raging in his mind, causing Cui Wu to clench his teeth. "Ling family, since you won't leave on your own accord, then I can only use other means to send you away!"
"Zuo Guangda, that idiot, ruined my plans. I could have easily made the wolves come and force the Ling family to leave. If it wasn't for him …"
In the Ling family's parlor.
"Dong-er, although we have something on Zuo Guangda today, this isn't a long-term plan. Zuo Guangda won't be willing to be threatened by us. I'm worried that in the future …" After Zuo Guangda left, Ling Yuanshan said worriedly.
Although Zuo Guangda's problem was temporarily resolved, it had buried a long-term hidden danger for the Ling family.
"Father, don't worry! Actually, what I need is this little bit of time. As long as we have these few days of precious management, our Ling family won't be able to be controlled by Zuo Guangda anymore. "
At this point, Ling Dong looked at the sky and said to Ling Dong, "Father, it's almost time. The family is waiting for us!"
"Okay, you go first. I have something to discuss with your second grandpa. We'll be there soon!" A strange look flashed in Ling Yuanshan's eyes.
