Any steam locomotive station has a "dead-end road" for train repairs or to park carriages. At Doolin's request and the pistol in Dover's hand, the driver of the steam locomotive readily cooperated with the work of the local city hall, and sent the carriages suspected of transporting illegal materials to the stop, and then hung the remaining three carriages and parked outside the station.

Some of the passengers on the platform looked impatient, while others were expressionless, and it was difficult to find the smugglers among the crowd. By this time, the goods had already been detained, and the most important thing they should do was not to rush out. Figure out the situation, if you can buy the people here, then buy it, and if you can't buy it, these people will start to think about where it is better to flee.

A train can fit almost 500 cases of wine, or 6,000 bottles of wine. Even if their ancestors have a good conscience, a bottle sells for twenty yuan, and six thousand bottles is one hundred and twenty thousand. I lost 120,000 at once, and it is estimated that it will be very difficult to die after I go back. These smuggling groups that lick blood on the knife edge to live their lives do not have the shackles of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and those who can bring profits are good brothers, and those who bring losses are enemies.

There are countless ways to deal with the enemy, after all, they run around all over the country, and some even participate in cross-border trade, and there are many ways to torture people at once.

So at this time, the personnel in charge of the escort were not in a hurry, anyway, the matter had already happened, and it was really impossible to find a place to hide, or leave the empire.

Durin's gaze swept over the faces of these people one by one, and finally coughed lightly, "I'm very sorry to move you to the platform, I'm the local mayor, you can call me Mr. Durin." This is my second week in office, and here I need to convey and popularize the most basic imperial laws to you!", he looked at the few guys in the crowd who might be escorted this time, he was so familiar with these people that he could smell them even from several people.

Durin was looking at them, they were also looking at Durin, and Durin slowly spoke: "Tax evasion is a very serious and wrong behavior, and when necessary, it is necessary not only to repay taxes and pay large fines for tax evasion, but also to face the punishment of imprisonment!"

A few people in the crowd were well disguised, but after Durin said this, the natural expressions on their faces were a little distorted, and a trace of confusion flashed in their eyes.

Tax evasion?

Not smuggling?

Pointing to the train cars that had been temporarily detained, Dührin said, "I have just checked a little, and there is no proof of tax payment for these goods, which is illegal, ladies and gentlemen! Tax evasion is shameful and illegal, but if you can make amends for your wrongdoings and pay a fine for tax evasion, I am sure that the local courts and judges will still choose to forgive you." ”

"Everyone makes mistakes, but when you make mistakes, you should be brave enough to stand up and admit your mistakes and bear the consequences, which is what an imperial citizen should do. Escaping is not the act of a warrior, only a coward would choose to escape!", Durin swept his gaze from the faces of the passengers again, "You can choose to evade your responsibilities and leave on the train. But you can also take responsibility and come to the town hall to make up the taxes, and the choice is not mine, but you, and that's all I have to say. ”

"After three days, if no one comes to admit these things and is not willing to pay fines and taxes for them, I will destroy them in public!", he nodded, and left.

Although Durin left, more than a dozen policemen locked the door of the carriage and walked into the station office. There they could see the carriages at a glance, and Durin had let the steam locomotives go, and even if they could take them back, they wouldn't be able to transport them away.

The station was soon empty, and no one was left, as if there were no escorts at all. When the people who stayed at the station told Durin the news, Durin just smiled, he knew that these people were leaving for the time being, but they would definitely not really leave, and it would not be long before they would come back again.

Dührin had guessed one thing wrong, and he thought it might be a day or two or the last day before they came, but that afternoon the men appeared, and they came to Otis on a general steam locomotive, the kind that did not haul goods, on the grounds that they were here for a tourist.

If you don't care about the desolate surroundings and the fact that there is no entertainment in the city, this is not a bad reason. When these tourists came out of the station, they were dumbfounded, and they realized how ridiculous they were using the excuse of travel.

There were seven of them, led by a woman who looked to be in her thirties. There is absolutely no romantic plot in the imagination of outsiders in this business, the woman is not beautiful, it can be said that she is a little vicious and ugly, she has two scars on her face, which ruined what could only be said to be an average face. These two scars were left when she was caught by her opponent and pressed for information, and she was tortured more, but not on her face, but on her body.

She looked at the empty street with some irritation, whenever the wind blew, it would raise a gust of wind and sand, and there was no one outside the entire station!

"How can there be people living in this ghost place?", the woman named Sai Li licked her chapped lips, looked at the street in the distance and pointed and said, "Go to the city and ask what is going on with this ghost place and the mayor, and then consider whether to contact the other party!"

In the morning her men told her that the goods had been seized by Otis and repeated Doolin's remarks, and in the afternoon Seli came from Namirins. She was detained for two carriages of wine, adding up to more than 200,000 yuan, and if this batch of goods was lost here, the person who lost the goods would be unlucky, and she would also be unlucky, so she had to come over and see what to do with it.

Judging from the feedback from those subordinates, there seems to be room for mitigation.

After twenty minutes of walking, they finally entered the center of Otis and looked at the city like the country, and Selie began to wonder if this place was a city or not, or if it was just a town, and she learned all about the city for a dollar from an old man who basked in the sun and knitted a blanket, but not the new mayor.

"I remember they said this guy was called Doolin, and asked them to ask around and see if they could find someone they knew to match us with. Selie rubbed her forehead and ordered, but soon her men returned, and told her with a strange look that in the city only the town hall had a telephone, and it was at the mayor's table. If she wanted to leave by car, a train would pass by.

Someone made a suggestion to stay here and wait two days before contacting the mayor. But Saili's view is different from others, and the longer they wait, the more passive they become. Their weakness has already been caught by the other party, and if they don't honestly admit it, and still think about delaying time or fighting, isn't this forcing the other party to change their minds? She decided to go directly to meet the mayor of this city, and as for whether this is a trap, she doesn't care.

First, she was not afraid of being violated by others, her breasts and one side of her butt flap were cut off during that interrogation, and if someone was willing to violate her, she should probably feel happy, which would make her feel that she was not spending money on a man because she couldn't find a man, but just to relieve her loneliness.

After Dover opened the door for Sally, when Dülin met Sally, he was impressed by this woman, an ugly and masculine woman with a masculine personality. He just glanced up, and there was no follow-up. Now it's not that he's begging others to do things, it's that others are begging him, and Seli isn't in a hurry, why is he in a hurry?

The first time she met a high-ranking government official in the position of mayor, Sally was still a little apprehensive, and she stood in the doorway for about twenty minutes before realizing that she had been neglected. She knocked on the door and asked, "Are you Mayor Doolin?"

Du Lin raised his head at this time and nodded, "It's me, what's the matter?"

Selie walked forward, walked across from Doolin's desk, and found a chair. She sat awkwardly, the soft chair giving her a sense of unease, she was used to the hard benches, or chairs.

"Well, my employee told me that it was because of tax evasion...... So you're holding my goods here?", when Selie said the word tax evasion, she felt even more awkward, when did smuggling turn into tax evasion, but this is a good thing.

Whether it is black gold or black goods, if you want to launder it, you must go through one way, and that is to pay taxes. Only after paying the tax can these things be regarded as real whitewashing, there is a complete flow or process, and there is no need to explain anything when encountering inspections, let alone stuffing money, as long as the tax vouchers are taken out.

As for why something that obviously shouldn't be transported can be transported by rail, and they also get a tax payment certificate, that's not their business.

Durin placed the pen on the table and asked Dover to call the tax collector from Odis. After about five minutes of waiting, the director of the transportation bureau of Otis came, yes, the young man, who was also the tax collector here.

"Mr. Mayor, are you looking for me?"

Durin pointed at Seli, "Please explain to this lady how much fine she has to pay for tax evasion, and how much tax she needs to pay!"
