"Why would the mayor do this? And pay the taxes now?"

After listening to the other party's words, the Lie Gang Leader's face began to be a little gloomy again, and then he spoke.

I couldn't help but think about it, could it really be like the spy said, the mayor's mansion is short of money, but why is the mayor's mansion short of money?

"Yes, as for the reason, the junior official is not clear, and the mayor did not tell him. The treasurer explained.

Stared at by the other party's dark eyes, the financial officer, who was only a second-level cultivator, had already begun to moisten the fluff on his forehead.

Drops of cold sweat seeped down the pores and spread all over the treasurer's forehead.

Then wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the treasurer forced himself to compose himself, and continued to speak:

"Gang Leader, can it be convenient for the junior official to check the account books of the Salt Gang from this year to last month. ”

"Yes, yes, but the current capital turnover of the gang is not enough, and the sudden tax increase and tax collection may not be able to take it out for a while. ”

Putting away his momentum, his eyes changed back to his original normal look, and the Lie Gang Master said expressionlessly.

"It's okay, it's okay, check it out first, then talk about it, and then talk about it. Hearing the other party's words and seeing the other party's expression, the treasurer felt that this might not be easy, and then he could only take one step and half the way.

Then the Lie Gang Master waved his hand, and the little brothers who were waiting next to him retreated, and returned with a few ledgers after a while.

Looking at the little brother who only had a few account books in his hand, and then thinking of the pile of account books in Yuhua Pavilion, the financial officer's face was cloudy.

Then he glanced at the Lie Gang Leader who was seated from the corner of his eye, and the other party still had no expression.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked the Lie Gang Leader: "Lie Gang Leader, what the junior official wants to check is the account book of the Salt Gang from this year to last month. ”

"That's right, this is the Salt Gang's ledger from the beginning of this year to last month. Hearing the words of the treasurer, the Lie Gang Leader explained quietly.

Looking at the other party's posture, the financial officer gritted his teeth, put away his politeness, respect, worry, etc., and then stood on his waist, looked directly into the other party's eyes and continued to speak:

"Yanlie Gang Leader, what this official wants to check is all the account books of the Salt Gang for most of the past half a year. ”

"Treasurer!" Seeing the other party's posture and tone, the Lie Gang Leader glared, slapped the table hard, and glared at the other party angrily.

Then his face was gloomy, and his eyes were cold, staring at the financial officer who still had the same attitude, and continued:

"Do you think this gang leader is cheating on you? If you don't believe this gang leader, please take care of yourself. ”

Hearing the words of the Lie Gang Leader, the financial officer waved his sleeves and led the officials to turn around and leave without saying a word.

He didn't pay attention to the somewhat angry Salt Gang leader, and didn't even look through the ledgers.

As for the officials, when the finance officer and the leader of the salt gang were opposed, they were already frightened.

If it weren't for the fact that they knew that the other party didn't dare to blatantly make a move, they would have been scared to their knees.

The other party is a sinister and cunning wolf in Twilight Town, and he is also a level 9 martial artist.

Looking at the financial officer who waved his sleeves away, the leader of the Lie Gang who was seated immediately grabbed the armrest of the chair with his right hand and squeezed it hard, and the handrail that was grabbed suddenly flew in all directions and turned into wood slag.

Then there was a burst of iron blue on his face, and his gloomy eyes became even colder.

Next to the mayor's mansion, inside the Governing House.

"You said the Salt Gang used fake accounts to perfunctory you?"

"Yes, Lord Archon. Although Xia Guan didn't see the contents of the account books, there were only a few, and they were definitely not all the account books of the Salt Gang. ”

"I see, then you can step back first. ”

Sitting on the chair in the office, he heard the treasurer talk about the British consul, and then waved his hand to signal the other party to go down first, and there was no expression on his face.

"Yes, the lower official will retire first. The treasurer replied, and then withdrew.

When the other party walked out of the office, the British consul touched his fat belly, and his eyes stared ahead without any focus.

He didn't doubt what his subordinates said, and as for those account books that were more than half a year old, he didn't believe them at all, and the salt gang showed that they were fooling children.

In the past, he used to fool officials with a bunch of fake account books, but now he doesn't even bother to cover it up, and he just wants to send everyone away with a few books.

The current Salt Gang is getting bolder and more arrogant.

Thinking of this, the British consul squinted his eyes and looked at the pile of letters from other shops complaining about the forced buying and selling of the Salt Gang.

There was still no expression on his face, and no one knew what was going on in his head.

The words are divided into two ends,

Just when the Salt Gang and the Treasurer were arguing with each other.

And outside the door of the black shop, Yang Lingxuan was still happy to continue to tell Wu Shou about his magic version of Journey to the West.

There was a sudden sound of carriages on the road, and then Yang Lingxuan and the others looked up and saw a pure white carriage, driven by an elderly man quickly.

Looking at the other party's eyes, Yang Lingxuan felt that it should be for the store, and then he was overjoyed, the store finally had new customers, and he felt that his small advertising tactics must have succeeded.

As for why he thinks he is a new customer, in fact, the reason is very simple, the current customers of the store are only the people of Wujia Village and the mayor.

Wujia Village was reluctant to hire such a heroic carriage, and the mayor and the two had already entered the mountain, so he felt that he must have been attracted by the advertisement.

But since Wu Shou hadn't posted small advertisements for a long time, he didn't know that the small advertisements in the town had been cleaned up by the mayor.

Knowing the reason, it is unknown whether he will be angry and ask the mayor to compensate for the advertising costs.

"Huh~~"

In just a moment, under the movement of the old man's soft shout, the carriage stopped not far from the two of them.

Later, I saw a beautiful girl wearing a pale pink cloth dress and a pale red ribbon at her waist, who was about fifteen or sixteen years old.

Raised the door curtain of the carriage and walked out, during which the lovely eyes also glared at Wu Shou, and glanced at Yang Lingxuan curiously, then jumped out of the carriage and looked back at the carriage.

Then I saw a beautiful woman wearing a water-blue silk dress, a green silk belt around her waist, and a beautiful jade on her waist.

The other party has long hair, and his skin is like clotted fat that can be broken by blowing, like mutton fat and white jade, which is very good-looking.

Then he walked out of the trunk that had been lifted by the old man, with a graceful posture and a hint of urgency.

Then he slowly got out of the carriage with the little girl's outstretched hand.

"Presumably Childe is the uncle of the store manager in Wu Shou's mouth!"

The woman glanced at Wu Shou, who was a little stunned, and then looked at the black-robed man who seemed to be shocked by her face and whispered.

I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, although the man in black in front of me was handsome and dignified, he looked like a weak scholar in his early 20s.

It's completely inconsistent with the peerless master I imagined, and I can't help but secretly say that I am a little reckless.

Then she looked through the two people who were still surprised, and looked into the store, and then she was stunned, she had never seen the decoration style inside.

"Sister Leng, Sister Leng, why are you here!" Hearing the other party's words, Wu Shou reacted first and yelled excitedly.
