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

Chapter 15 The whole town is ours, how can you fight us?

From childhood to adulthood, the reason why Xiao Yuer has been able to rely on his cleverness to repeatedly gain benefits and take advantage of others is because he has a thinking logic that "transcends common sense and finds alternative ways".

What he is best at is to first understand the logic of his opponent's behavior, and then take advantage of the loopholes and slap his opponent in the face.

But what he was facing at this moment was a set of laws that countless capitalists, unscrupulous people, high-ranking officials, dignitaries, wealthy people, and politicians had worked hard for many years to customize, which could openly "cheat people".

Such laws may still have loopholes, but they are definitely not something that a young person who is new to the law and has never learned any knowledge in this area can exploit.

The most important thing is that even if someone really takes advantage of a loophole in the end, the law itself has a way to deal with it.

The process is like this: you can tear off the mask of a hypocrite and ruin his reputation, but you cannot use the same method on a real villain.

The so-called "use the normal to defeat the strange, and use force to defeat cleverness" is exactly this principle.

Xiao Yuer was amused: "I spent one penny to buy something, but I had to pay thousands of taels of tax. There is probably nothing more ridiculous than this in the world!"

"Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing would never happen!"

Lu Ping spread his hands, saying that he was powerless: "A normal buyer only needs to pay 10% more; a normal seller only gets 10% less profit."

"Spending one penny and paying thousands of taels of tax does sound absurd, but spending one penny to buy goods worth tens of thousands of taels, isn't that absurd? Who made your business so special?"

Xiao Yuer was a little dumbfounded. He felt that his opponent at this moment was no longer the person in front of him, but a larger organization.

If Lu Ping could understand his psychology, he would tell him: The mountain you are facing now is called 'Suzaku Dynasty'!
"Hehehe...Isn't it just paying taxes? Sure! How much does it cost? Just tell me after you've calculated it. I have plenty of money! Even if I have to pay thousands more in taxes, I'll still make a profit on this business!"

Xiao Yuer just thought that Lu Ping's way of standing up for the greedy merchants was to cheat him out of more money.

Although I feel unhappy, I can't seem to think of any good loophole to exploit at the moment. I can only accept it first and get it back later!
He, Xiao Yuer, is not someone who will give up easily!

When it comes to money, Xiao Yuer is still somewhat confident - he still has a lot of gold leaves on him!

These gold leaves were given to him as travel expenses by several masters in the Valley of Evil when he was leaving the valley. Each leaf was very valuable. It was because of these gold leaves that the greedy merchants before had evil intentions.

Lu Ping smiled slyly and asked, "Oh? How much money do you have?"

Xiao Yu'er generously slapped the gold leaves in his arms on the table and asked proudly, "Is this enough?"

He originally thought that after seeing these gold leaves, Lu Ping would show his true colors like those businessmen, and even think of various ways to greedily take the gold leaves. However, the result disappointed him.

"I didn't see any money! Where's the money you just mentioned?"

It was an extremely plain reply, but Xiaoyuer felt something was wrong.

He was a smart man, so at this moment he had already vaguely realized how Lu Ping was going to deal with him, but he still said with gritted teeth: "Isn't this just money?"

Lu Ping shook his head, took out a few copper coins from his pocket, and said, "This is money!"

Then he turned around and signaled with his eyes to Zheng Yuanwai behind him. Zheng Yuanwai understood immediately and took out a silver note of one hundred taels from his pocket and handed it to him.

Lu Ping took the silver note with satisfaction, slapped it next to his copper coins, and said, "This is money too!"

Then he pointed at the golden leaves in front of Xiao Yuer and said, "But these things are not money!"

Xiao Yu'er began to sweat on his forehead and loudly retorted: "This gold leaf is real gold, isn't it more valuable than this hundred taels of silver notes?" Lu Ping stretched out his index finger and shook it: "According to the official regulations of the Suzaku Dynasty, the only 'money' that can be circulated in public is silver notes, gold, silver and copper coins, not gold leaves, so of course they are not considered money."

"No matter how much gold leaves you used in your previous transactions with the merchants in the town, that was your business and no one had any say in it. But the Suzaku Dynasty is not a primitive tribe that barters. When you pay taxes, the government will not recognize any gold leaves."

Waiting for me here...

Xiao Yuer smiled again: "That's easy. As long as I am willing, there are many people who will exchange money with me!"

"Do you really think so?"

Lu Ping looked at his confident look and felt amused: "You just offended all the rich people in the town this morning. Who do you think is willing to exchange money for you now?"

Xiao Yuer was stunned when he heard this, and the smile on his face froze.

Are you sweating profusely, bro?

Lu Ping continued to hammer his heart: "Besides, your gold leaf cannot be eaten or used. How much money you can get it for depends on how much the other party is willing to pay."

"In other words, if we say it's worth a thousand taels, it's worth a thousand taels; if we say all of these are worth only a penny, they're worth only a penny!"

"Now answer me again, how much money do you have?"

Xiao Yuer naturally couldn't answer.

In fact, he really wanted to point at Lu Ping's nose and curse him, saying that he was just cheating. However, cheating was something he should have done.

If I really did that, wouldn't I be admitting that I lost in cheating? And I would also be the kind of person who gets angry when I can't stand losing!

"By the way, let me remind you that this table of food will cost about three taels of silver. If you plan to eat a free meal... hehe, the punishment for this in Taiping Town is very cruel!"

Xiao Yuer's face changed, he panicked, and then he laughed.

"Your place is not a peaceful town at all. I think it's more appropriate to call it Idiot Town!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly picked up the gold leaves on the table and put them in his arms. At the same time, he jumped over the heads of the merchants who were blocking his way and was behind everyone in the blink of an eye.

"I'll give you the food on that table. Please help me pay the bill. I'm leaving first!"

Everyone around was surprised.

This kid actually knows martial arts? No wonder he dared to offend so many people...

Zheng Yuanwai tugged at Lu Ping's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Xiaolu, why have I never heard of the law you just mentioned?"

"Of course you haven't heard of it, because I made it up. How would I know anything about business law?"

Lu Ping smiled faintly and glanced at the gold leaf left on the table by Xiao Yuer.

Although he cheated the unscrupulous businessman, Xiao Yuer did not cheat the inn when it came to eating. Instead, he left a gold leaf as payment for the meal.
