Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 14: You outsiders, how can you understand our laws?
For a moment, Lu Ping even forgot to complain about how a man over 40 had the nerve to call himself, a 16-year-old adolescent boy, "brother".

Are you also a senior distributor?
"I really can't do anything about you guys, but who can blame me for doing this? Since the client has asked me to do so, I can only do it."

Lu Ping waved his hands helplessly and asked, "As long as we don't use force to force him to hand it over, that's fine, right?"

"Yeah……"

"Okay, you watch."

Lu Ping walked into a first-class inn, and Zheng Yuanwai followed closely behind him.

The First-Class Inn is worthy of being the most famous inn in Anning Prefecture. After a morning of renovation, it has been restored to its original state. Even the tables, chairs, windows, and doorposts that were damaged in the battle last night are now brand new, and there is no sign of bandits passing through.

There was a large group of people crowded in the inn, making a lot of noise and chaos around a table. Lu Ping recognized that the people making the noise were the owners of various shops on Antique Street, and several of them had placed orders with him.

Surrounded by these bosses is a young man with peach blossom eyes, a high ponytail, and a scar on his face running from the corner of his eye to the edge of his mouth.

The man looked about one or two years younger than himself, and with his coarse cloth on, he had the air of a roguish man. At this moment, he was enjoying the delicacies of a first-class inn with relish, and ignored the antique shop owners who had been badly cheated by him.

This was the first time in fourteen years that Xiaoyuer had walked out of the Valley of Evil and seen the outside world.

He didn't expect that the bad guys outside the Valley of Evil would be so easy to deceive.

Compared to those evil guys with bloody hands in the valley, the evilness of these people outside is so stupid that it's cute.

……

The moment he saw Lu Ping, Xiao Yuer put down the roast chicken he was eating, and then wiped his greasy hands with the tablecloth beside him.

Subconsciously, he felt that the person who came was unusual.

This was due to his wild-animal-like keen sense of smell that he had developed from childhood in harsh environments. This sense of smell kept him alert at all times and saved his life several times during hunting by wolves.

Now in his eyes, Lu Ping is a wolf, a smiling wolf who is more resourceful than himself.

I have met someone similar to me...

This is what Xiao Yuer thought in his heart.

What Lu Ping was thinking was...

"What are you looking at, kid?"

Xiao Yuer was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his face became even stronger: "If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"

What a trite and feeble rebuttal!
Lu Ping sat down opposite Xiao Yu'er: "What's your name, brother?"

"My name is Xiaoyuer."

It's him! I was wondering why this deceptive plot is so familiar...

But this seems to be a plot from a certain TV drama version, right?
Lu Ping had read the original novel of "The Twins of Red Dust", and had also watched several adapted film and television dramas, but it was too long ago and he had forgotten a lot of things.

Although I later read a lot of martial arts fan fiction in online novels on various platforms, I can only remember a few characters and important martial arts.

I wonder how much this world has mixed together novels, movies and TV shows?

If you remember the original work too well, it may affect your judgment of the development of the story and the characters in this world. If you think about it this way, maybe forgetting those trivial things is a good thing. "My name is Lu Ping. I heard that you used a penny to cheat everyone in the town?"

"I didn't force them. They said they would let me set the price. They never said anything back!"

Xiao Yu'er was still laughing, "What's going on? Could it be that those old men wanted to go back on their word and ask for the things back, but they couldn't bring themselves to do it, so they came to you, a kid, to help them out?"

Xiao Yuer now understood that Lu Ping must have been sought out by that group of people to seek justice.

However, Lu Ping's method of seeking justice was obviously not to use force or to gain sympathy, but to show off his eloquence and cleverness, so he was very interested.

Since leaving the Valley of Evil, he has never lost to anyone in the battle of wits.

Looking at Lu Ping's current relaxed demeanor and the attitudes of the people around him, one can infer that he must be a young, promising, smart and clever "genius", and because he became famous at a young age, he also has a bit of arrogance.

He, Xiao Yuer, likes nothing more than teasing this kind of pretentious guy!
The businessmen around blushed upon hearing this, and lowered their heads in silence.

"Where is Brother Xiao Yu'er from?"

"You want to know my background? I'm afraid you'll be scared to death if I tell you!"

"Oh? Are you a royal relative?"

Xiao Yuer smiled: "Royal relatives? Are they rare? Xiao Yuer is a fish in the rivers and lakes. I regard the sky as my father and the earth as my mother. I don't know how many times more valuable I am than the royal relatives you are talking about!"

it is as expected!
Lu Ping had vaguely heard some stories about the Evil Valley from Old Man Sun before, and knew that this place belonged to the Southern Martial Arts World, but not to the Suzaku Dynasty.

Since you are not a local, things will be easy!

Lu Ping was certain in his heart and continued to ask: "Then I wonder if you have paid the tax for buying so many things?"

"Pay taxes? What taxes?" Xiao Yuer blinked her peach blossom eyes.

When it comes to cheating and deceiving, he has already learned all kinds of tricks and schemes in the Valley of Evil, but when it comes to the law, that involves his blind spot in knowledge.

Very good! This kid really doesn't know these things, so I can make up the following words.

"The Suzaku Dynasty has a clear rule that any outsider who buys or sells goods within the territory must pay a tax of 10% of the value of the goods they buy or sell."

Xiao Yu'er asked curiously, "I only spent one penny in total, do I have to pay taxes? Besides, one penny is already the cheapest price, I really don't know how to pay 30% of it!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear."

Lu Ping shook his head and explained, "You may have misunderstood this law. I just said the value of the goods, not the price."

"The so-called 'price' is the price offered by the seller when selling goods. In this case, it is the penny you said you paid; and the 'value' is the price uniformly regulated by the court."

"For example, the official 'value' given by the court for this table in front of us is three hundred coins, but its price is negotiated between the buyer and the seller when it is resold."

"However, the price agreed upon by both parties cannot deviate by 10% from the original value. That is, the minimum cannot be lower than 270 wen, and the maximum cannot be higher than 330 wen. Otherwise, you will be severely fined for 'disturbing the market price'."

"The antique calligraphy and paintings you bought today have different ways of determining their value, which need to be determined by professionals in this field, and each one has its corresponding value document."

"Since you are an outsider and you bought these things, no matter how much you spent, you need to pay a fixed amount of tax according to the amount on the value receipt!"
