Gold is Justice

This sudden turn of events made the tax official, who was working hard, panic. He nervously put down the accounts in his hand, and shouted in horror: "President Ai Luo? President Ai Luo, are you all right?! Come on! Is there anyone in the guild who can help me! Come here!"

Under the panic of the tax officer, Airl slowly stretched out his hand.

The corner of his mouth twitched a little, and his whole body trembled constantly.But even so, there was still a smile on his face.

"President Airl? Are you...are you alright? Are you really alright? Your face looks terrifying!"

Ai Luo returned to his seat with difficulty, gave a very difficult dry laugh, and said, "No...it's really nothing...I'm just wondering if I should have something else...Is there any amount of tax reduction? Just enjoying it...haha..."

The tax officer nodded and said, "Originally, you, Mermaid Song, should be able to enjoy more than 10% of the tax reduction in the bustling city. After all, I think your previous guild war was really good. Very good. But then you see, didn’t you welcome a big investor in Pelican Town? The 5000 gold coins were directly invested, and all the contributions made by you Song of the Mermaid were immediately wiped out. I racked my brains to help you find a way to make up for this 5% quota! President Arrow, hehe, shouldn’t you thank me well~~~? Hahaha!”

Thanks?Ah, yes, thank you very much.Thank you big head ghost!

Now Airl understands why there are so many guilds in this world racking their brains to evade all kinds of taxes. The tax is really too big!And this tax is not calculated based on net income, but based on turnover?How could such a terrible thing happen? !

The tax officer looked at Ai Luo up and down, and after hesitating for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Your complexion looks really bad? President Ai Luo, do you have any questions? If there is no problem, can you put The taxes are paid in full, so I don't have to interrupt your work anymore."

Airl really wants to cry right now...

But as a president, he really couldn't just cry like this.After a dry laugh, the chairman regained his spirits, trembling, and slowly pushed the accounts for the next few months to the tax official.

"President Arrow, what is this?"

The tax collector glanced at the month and said—

"This is the account for the next tax year, right? If there is no problem, it should be calculated when I come in October this year. Why are you showing me now?"

Ai Luo stretched out his hand tremblingly, and said with a dry smile like an old man: "Please... just take a look at the last few purchases..."

The tax officer frowned and thought about it, but he still opened it and glanced at it.Soon, he noticed the problems in these accounts, and with a little surprise and horror, he raised his head and looked at Airl——

"President Airl?! You mean... your mermaid song... your mermaid song... already...?!"

"No, I'm not broke."

Airl took a deep breath, tried to calm his expression, and said with a smile——

"I just couldn't pay the taxes on time for this tax year...I applied for an extension of payment...for one year."

The tax officer let out a breath slowly, and he took another look at Song of the Mermaid's current accounts.If taxation is forced under such circumstances, there is no doubt that it is tantamount to letting Mermaid Song go bankrupt.

Thinking of this, the tax official finally closed the account book in his hand, nodded lightly, and said, "I see, I understand. Insolvency is not a big problem in the operation of the guild, as long as the guild can continue to operate You can continue to operate.”

“但是我想要提升您一点，延期缴纳税金是需要加收25%的滞纳金的。如果您确定申请延期的话，那么等到明年的时候，您除了缴纳这次的95金4银2铜5铁的税金之外，还需要额外缴纳23金8银5铜6铁的滞纳金。合计起来就是需要缴纳119金2银8铜1铁的金额。这样一笔钱，您确定在明年的缴税时限前可以足额缴纳吗？另外还请您别忘了，除此之外还有明年的税收额度需要您一并缴纳呢。这综合起来……可不是一笔小数目。”

If you don't want to, then you will be finished now.

Tomorrow, the entire Mermaid Song can be disbanded, and then everyone will go their separate ways, and he must go back and accept his inescapable fate!

Thinking of this, is there any other way Arrow can do now?

Simple, no.

Chapter 450 Two Beggars

At the moment, he could only smile and nodded, and said: "There is indeed a problem with my capital turnover, but please rest assured that there will be absolutely no problems with this year's taxes, and I will definitely pay the full amount by then. This tax."

Seeing the president's resolute eyes, the tax official couldn't help showing a little admiration in his eyes.

But the admiration is all admiration, he still said a little very sincerely: "President Airl, I believe in you. But according to my duties, I still need to include you and your mermaid song in the list of non-performing assets. If you can Before the taxes are paid smoothly, the banks of the entire Blue Bay Empire will not issue any loans to you and your guild. At the same time, the asset assessment of your Mermaid Song will also be listed as D-level. So during this period, you should not Think about using financing, or find someone else to take over your guild to revitalize your funds. If you still fail to repay the tax by this year's settlement year, the empire will officially accept your mermaid guild according to the law. Song Guild. If you do something that violates the laws of the empire..."

With a clatter, the tax officer stood up from his seat, his smiling face was now covered with a layer of absolute frost——

"I, with the help of your guild, once captured a former guild president who ran away after tax evasion. I don't hope that you will be the next one. Then, I will bid farewell."

Arrow held his breath as he watched the icy-faced tax collector slowly walk out of the gate.

Even though it was still winter outside, the moment the tax official completely left the guild without looking back, Airl suddenly felt relaxed, as if he had escaped from hell. Sweaty feeling.

Really, those so-called fears before are all a fart!

Is there anything scarier in this world than being in debt?Is there anything more frightening than the eyes of these tax officials who only think about money when facing them? !

Arrow's mind is full of that horrible thing now, and now he just closes his eyes and feels that the tax collector will appear in front of him again!

"That...President Airl?"

"Wow------!!!" Caught off guard, the tax official stuck his head out and poked inside the guild again.The sudden appearance of this guy's head really startled Airl, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

"You... what are you doing?! Didn't I already say that the application for extension?!"

Evidently, Arrow was terrified by now.

But the tax official had to smile, and re-entered the guild with a little apology: "Ah, of course. I know."

"Then why are you still here? I don't have money to pay taxes now!"

"No, no, it's not about paying taxes. Speaking of which... I'm sorry, just now I was being handsome, and I left the harsh words and walked out. But after walking for a while, I suddenly remembered that there is still something I want to meet with Airl It took me a long time to discuss, that's why I came back now... Oh, look at my brain, once the atmosphere gets up, I don't care about anything! Please don't mind me, the guild leader, for my repeated beating like a bird , forget it easily."

Really, you will be scared to death!

Arrow clutched his heart, his mind full of the urge to call Napa out from behind and kill the tax collector right away.

However, he still tried his best to restrain his emotions, so that Napa inside would not do anything bad to those children now: "Then... May I ask what it is? Is it a commission? Is there any money for it?"

The tax officer came in, sat down in front of Ai Luo again, laughed and said: "President Ai Luo immediately thought of making money? This is a good thing! The empire needs you guild leaders who only think about making money. If there are too many, the tax will be too much! But unfortunately, I really didn’t come to make any commissions, and I don’t have any money to pay you, the president.”

In an instant, Airl spread out on the seat like a deflated ball, and said without energy: "Since there is nothing wrong, please finish it in three sentences, I still have to worry about my body." The 119 gold, 2 silver, 8 copper and 1 iron get tax money."

The tax officer laughed, and after thinking for a while, he stretched out a finger: "Recently, there have been some crazy beggars in Xiehu City."

Then, he held out his second finger: "These beggars say they are all from Pelican Town."

Finally, he held out his third finger: "Then, they said they found a large amount of gold in Pelican Town."

In an instant, Airl's head, which was about to go out of his body, immediately woke up.

He suddenly got up from his paralyzed state, pressed his hands on the table, and leaned his whole body towards the tax official in front of him: "What? What's the situation?! What's going on?!"

The tax officer smiled slightly and spread his hands: "Now, can I say more?"

No matter who the person in front of him is, as long as he has a gold coin in his mouth, he is a good friend of Airl's!At that moment, the chairman quickly poured him another glass of water with a look of graciousness, and said with a smile: "Where is that! Our mermaid song has always been a place where tax officials can talk casually! Please also immediately Explain in detail!"

Seeing Airl's current appearance, the tax official leaned on the chair with his arms folded, looking at him thoughtfully.

Ai Luo couldn't help but thumped in his heart: "Excuse me...do you have any questions?"

Tax officer: "Ah, no problem. I was just thinking, Chairman Arrow is young and promising, although there may be some problems in the management this year... But you are very handsome, you should belong to the The type that will be liked by little girls. I have a daughter who is about the same age as the little magician in your guild. Seeing that the president is so young and handsome, I am still thinking about introducing my daughter to you, the president. Let's get to know each other."

Airl opened her mouth half-open, looking embarrassed.

"But, seeing the chairman's attitude towards money so much... Really, it's really hard for me to convince myself to introduce my daughter to a young man who is 'motivated' like you. Alas, this is really true. Difficult choice. It's as if I'm sitting on the façade of a top-notch restaurant with the most elegant decoration, ordering my favorite seafood tomato noodles and putting it in front of me. But the service staff in the restaurant tells me all the knives The forks are gone, and I need to scoop up these noodles with my own hands to eat. Can President Airl understand this helpless but itchy feeling?"

Ai Luo suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and said seriously: "I would like to ask the tax officer... to tell me more about gold coins as soon as possible, thank you!"

Seeing that Ai Luo's eyes were completely in the color of the eyes of money, the tax official finally shook his head and sighed: "Alas...such a young man, he only lives in the eyes of money all day long...Female Isn't she sweet, my child? I haven't seen any signs of liking little girls..."

"Taxes, officials, big people!"

"Okay, okay, I'll explain it to you now."

After taking a sip of water, the tax official began to speak slowly——

"It was about two months ago, um... that was the time when Song of the Mermaid started to leave Pelican Town. Some strange rumors began to gradually spread in more than a dozen towns in the Border Province. "

"These rumors didn't attract many people's attention at first, but as time went on, the rumors became more and more intense, and they became more and more likely to cause panic among humans."

The author said: found a really great reading site: Lanwen.com

Address: LANWENS.COM

"The number of beggars began to increase, and the closer you get to Pelican Town, the more these beggars become. For example, there are only one or two in a town farther away, but they appear one after another in Lagoon City near you. I found three or four of these beggars. When I came to your town to do tax work last time, I heard from your mayor that there were five or six of these beggars wandering around in your town."

"These beggars are very strange, and everyone's spirit seems abnormal. And they don't know why they are there, let alone where they come from."

"Viscount Norris has investigated those beggars and compared them with the missing persons in the nearest city, but found that none of these beggars can be matched with the missing persons. In other words, these beggars seem to appear here out of thin air. any sign of it."

"Then, these beggars who seem to be insane, in their murmurs that don't know what they are talking about, every once in a while they seem to pop up a sentence or two about 'gold' .And, when others ask what the 'gold' is all about, every beggar will hold out his hand and point you in the direction of Pelican Town."

"But if you ask these beggars where the gold is in your Pelican Town, these beggars point to the southeast, northwest, and all directions. But once they leave the town for about a day or two, they will point to you again The direction of this small town. Do you think this matter is strange?"

gold?Pelican Town?rumor?

Hearing this incident, Ai Luo had a very surprising sense of acquaintance in his ears.

Seeing Ai Luo's sudden stunned appearance, the tax officer couldn't help becoming a little nervous, and asked, "President Ai Luo, what's wrong with you? You didn't think of something terrible, did you? It's a little weird, don't make me any more scary things!"

Chapter 450 Dinner Party

Airl was stunned for a moment, then smiled, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just think this thing is very strange. Then... and then? Have you conducted any investigation?"

The tax officer exhaled, took another sip of water, and said, "Of course we need to conduct an investigation. If we don't investigate, don't we ignore the problem?"

"Viscount Norris also organized some investigations. At the same time, during the rest period of the guild war, all the four participating guilds formed a team to conduct a reconnaissance. On the other hand, he even entered the mountain mine near your town to see Look, but nothing can be seen. However, there was a little danger in that mine, and it is true that some people from the Giant Mountain Guild were injured."

Airl nodded lightly, and asked, "And then? Is this the end?"

The tax officer sighed, and said: "After some investigation, I found that there was nothing abnormal at all. Although these beggars talked about gold all the time, they didn't have any gold at all. So after some exploration, there is nothing unusual. Any discovery can only be done at this point.”

Hearing this, Airl stretched out his fingers and tapped his head lightly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "So... the tax collector told me this matter, what do you want me to do?"

The tax official showed a very kind smile, nodded slowly, and said with a smile: "Well, I think so. Anyway, the four guilds participating in the competition are not local guilds. It is the members of the local guild who are most familiar with it. There is obviously something wrong with so many beggars appearing in this situation, but it is an indisputable fact that Viscount Norris gave up and stopped investigating."

"I... just hope President Airol's Song of the Mermaid can investigate the truth of this matter as soon as possible. If there is really gold, then I can get a lot of rewards if I report it to the higher authorities. If I really can't find what's the problem, these so-called 'gold' are just misheard, or there are some irregular words in the pronunciation of those beggars that are similar to 'gold', so where do these people come from? Those who came here, all of them will help them find their relatives, which is not a small contribution."

Hearing this, Airl's eyeballs rolled slightly, and he suddenly said: "Then... if we, Mermaid Song, find the gold...or find the families of these beggars and send them back to their families... …What kind of reward can we get for Mermaid Song?"

The tax officer smiled slightly, leaned over his head, and showed a very appreciative expression: "If you can really find the buried gold, then you can keep a tenth of it. If not, but you find out the reason for this matter, If you help those beggars return to their families and promote the process of our country's population recovery, I can also help you report to the higher-ups. Congratulations to your guild for your contribution. At that time, there must be a sum of thanks from my higher-ups Did you come down? The amount of this thank you money...hehe, maybe it won’t be in the minority~~!”

Needless to say, Ai Luo immediately stretched out his palm and said righteously: "Needless to say, Mr. Tax Collector, it is the duty of a guild like ours to serve the country! No matter how difficult the task is, I, Song of the Mermaid, will I tried my best to get it done!"

"Hahaha! It's easy to say, easy to say! Then my words will be said here, and the news will be delivered! Now, I really want to say goodbye!"

The tax collector got up and waved his hand at Airl——"I hope to hear a lot of good news about you when I see you next year! Also, don't imitate your mayor's accent, such a young child learns so much!" What the hell are you, old fried dough sticks?"

Arrow chuckled, and sent the tax collector to the door, and then waved his hand, as if he was really sending him away.

After seeing off the tax officer, the expression on Airl's face finally stopped smiling.He returned to his seat, looked at the figures on the account book in front of him, and began to fold his arms and think hard on the seat.

This kind of thinking didn't last too long, and soon, he nodded slightly and continued to sort out his accounts.After calculating that it was almost time, I went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"I'm back!"
