Chapter 56 The Decree of the Strange Woman
Arrow didn't have time to deal with this little girl's emotions, and the president squeezed out a smile again and said, "The members of our guild are not sensible, please don't mind the tax collector." Then again, it's a hassle to enact this law at a time when you're so busy. How could such a law suddenly come out? ”
The tax collector took a sip of water and said as he looked through the account books in his hand, "Although I don't know exactly what happened, I heard that it was due to some adventurer's guild messing around. Originally, the guild was run well, but as a result, some guild presidents began to try their best to evade taxes, and even thought of ways to launder money, and even operated smuggling activities. You say, in the face of such a guild, how could the empire not think of a way to rectify it? ”
Arrow's body twitched involuntarily, it was autumn, and the temperature in the guild was also very pleasant, but he began to sweat on his forehead as if he was in a hot weather.
The tax collector looked up at Arrow and said curiously, "Huh? President Arrow, what's wrong with you? Is it hot? ”
"Ah, it's okay! I'm a person who tends to get hot and sweaty. ”
Airo hurriedly waved his fan and continued: "In this way, this bill is quite interesting, in order to minimize the crime problem of those guilds......"
The tax officer continued to bow his head and check the ledgers: "It is indeed very effective, and as soon as this decree came out, a large number of guilds immediately filed for bankruptcy, which is even faster than the speed at which we went to check!" Many guilds even receive a decree today, dismiss all guild members tomorrow, and close their doors and run away the day after tomorrow. I've heard and known about five or six of them. ”
Speaking of this, the tax officer suddenly raised his head and looked at Arrow in front of him, and his eyes involuntarily became sharp: "Then again...... President Arrow, there shouldn't be a problem with that, right? ”
Arrow twitched again, and quickly shook his head and laughed, "How come?!" How is this possible?! Hahaha, how could I possibly do such a thing? ”
The tax officer also immediately laughed, nodded and said, "Of course, how could a student of the Old Tengshu Academy do such a thing?" I'm totally, absolutely relieved about President Arrow! And my review this time is just a formality, rest assured, I will be done soon! ”
It's really scary!
Facts have proved that as long as there is a criminal offense, then when facing these pickets, they will involuntarily break out in a cold sweat on their palms.
Arrow couldn't help but think, what if he was suddenly found out about the problem this time, and those stolen money and his own money laundering were found out? It's not a simple joke that can end with a few words.
If you don't get it right, your guild career is really going to end here!
Arrow clutched his chest and took two big breaths to quiet himself. I just want to be able to moderate my expressions and movements as much as possible, and not to appear too exaggerated.
"President, are you not feeling well today? Why does it look so stiff? ”
For the tax officer, it is not surprising how Airo, who just met today, behaved. But Brad, who was on the side, walked over very kindly, and looked at his president with a worried face-
"Shall I pour you a glass of water?"
"(whispering) Don't bother me!"
Brad was kind, but Arrow wanted to kick him away.
He turned his head again after blasting Brad away, but when he saw that the tax collector was now looking at him, his movements stiffened again.
"You...... Not feeling well today? ”
The tax collector put down the pen and ledger in his hand and looked at Arrow with a concerned expression.
"No, no, no! No discomfort! Everything was fine! It's very comfortable! ”
Arrow laughed, but suddenly he noticed that his voice began to tremble.
"Oh......" The tax officer lowered his head and looked at the account book in his hand again, but after only a second, he raised his head again and looked at Arrow with a serious face, "President Arrow, are you hiding something from me?" Or is it ...... What's in your ledger? ”
"Hahaha! Your Excellency the Tax Collector, you can really see it. ”
The shortcomings created by the pig teammates, Arrow can only try to make up for it with his acting skills now. He spread out his hand and said helplessly-
"I do have some things that I am anxious about, and you know that."
"I know that too?" The tax collector put down his pen and looked hesitant.
Arrow nodded, "yes, that's the job I just took over as mayor of Round Cheese." As you can imagine, it's a rush to sort out all that many bills in just seven days. But I'm ...... now. Hehe, I'm really sorry, I'm going to accompany you to verify our guild's account books now, and I thought that time was passing and there was less time to work, so I was a little anxious......"
The tax officer was immediately in awe of Airo!
He nodded very seriously: "Oops, I forgot about it!" I didn't expect President Arrow to be such a work-obsessed president. This is really a blessing for our Blue Bay Empire! In this case, you go and get busy, it's okay, you don't have to worry about me at all. I'll just have to wait until I'm done verifying. ”
Being able to leave the tax officer's side, Arrow was also relieved. At least I don't have to sit here, and I don't have to be so nervous. Moreover, he felt that his account books should be perfectly made, as long as he didn't deliberately find faults, there should be no problem.
Thinking so, Arrow straightened up as well......
Tax Collector: "If there's any problem, I'll ask your guild members." They don't seem to have anything to do right now, so I guess it's okay to ask them. ”
Arrow's buttocks, which had just left his seat, immediately pressed down again.
He laughed with a sunny face.
The tax collector was a little strange: "Huh? Can you go about other things? ”
With that big smile, Arrow replied, "It's okay, my guild members are all rough people who haven't even read anything, so I'll answer your questions so as not to add an extra burden to you." ”
The tax officer thought about it and nodded: "That's it...... That's fine. Well, I'll help you talk to the round cheese guy and give him a few days to give you a few days. That way, you'll have plenty of time to settle accounts and answer my questions. ”
Arrow smiled.
But his heart was bitter beyond words.
Suddenly, he felt that instead of facing this tax officer, maybe it would be easier to face the Iron Wolf Guild.
The tax collector hummed a tune and continued to check his opponent's ledger gracefully. This situation made Arrow's throat a little hot, and he just wanted to end this headache right now.
Or...... Let this tax officer go?
No, no, let him take the account book to other places to check if there will be any problems, or it is better to check here.
With the sound of a pen writing on paper, Arrow stayed here in silence, watching the tax collector across from him constantly check every bill from his guild.
It's a bit of a tough and boring process. What's more, he barely speaks, and he brutally turns himself into a mute. Once upon a time, Arrow thought he wasn't a person who liked to chatter, but now this situation is really about to suffocate him.
"I ...... Go pour a glass of water. ”
"Well, go ahead, it's okay!"
Arrow exhaled, finally got up from his seat and walked to his place in the kitchen.
When he entered the kitchen and poured himself a glass of water, Napa flew in slowly: "Hey, I want to ask you something." ”
Arrow took two sips: "Say? ”
"This so-called new decree...... It can't be aimed at you, right? ”
With a pop, the water in Arrow's mouth squirted out.
He coughed twice and looked at Napa in disbelief, "What do you say?" How did this suddenly happen? ”
Napa circled around Arrow and said slowly, "It's really not aimed at you?" You think, you've just started the office meeting, and then this decree pops up all of a sudden. What a coincidence, isn't it? Besides, you still have a three-year deadline, and I think this decree may have been issued specifically to oversee the guild you opened. ”
Arrow shook his head and smiled helplessly, "I said, you really look up to me." That's a royal decree! Do you think I, the daughter of an ordinary peasant, have the ability to have the emperor issue a decree specifically against me? ”
Napa lowered her head and thought, "Hmm...... That's just as well. But this is a bit too coincidental. ”
"It can only be said that no book can be written without coincidence."
After drinking the water, Arrow walked back to sit down in front of the tax collector, and Napa was probably curious, so she slowly floated to Arrow's table and sat down, looking the tax collector up and down.
The tax collector glanced at Napa, then looked at Arrow with a puzzled look.
"Ahh It's called Napa, and it's the vice president of our Mermaid Song Guild! ”
Arrow hurriedly explained.
The tax collector also looked at Napa, and after a while, he picked up the guild's list of personnel again, glanced at it, and said, "Your guild membership list does not register this demonic beast." But forget it, Warcraft is not mandatory to register in the first place. But have you ever had a permit? ”
Ai Luo was stunned for a moment, and his neck couldn't help but shrink back: "What about this...... Not...... I haven't had time to do it yet......"
The tax officer's brows furrowed: "This is not good, President Arrow, although the guild's demonic beasts do not require compulsory registration, but the demonic beasts raised by the guild still need to apply for a license." It is also necessary to have regular check-ups of physical condition, as well as good discipline and restraint. Otherwise, running around after being released is secondary, what if you don't bite people everywhere? ”
