Chapter 17 Lin Kite was retaliated against
Lin Kite clenched the money bag tightly.
This little money, she is very distressed, she doesn't know how to put it, and she is worried that she will be remembered by the thief again.
But she didn't worry for long, a familiar neighbor with a mysterious thing in his arms, cautiously ran in, he lowered his voice and said: "Boss Lin, I have a treasure to sell you, you will shoot it for me when the time comes...?" β
Lin Yuan said happily: "Okay, let me take a look." β
I didn't expect someone to send the baby on her own, and she didn't have to Taobao one by one. The man sent an inkstone, which was pitch black and of high quality, but it wasn't too big a gimmick to attract the whole city.
Lin Yuan was pleasantly surprised, but couldn't help but be a little disappointed, she had to find a few more treasures by herself.
After the auction, Xiaobai was in a good mood, flipping through Fengyue's novel "Flowers and Things".
She grew up in the court, listened to serious and old-fashioned political articles, learned elegant poetry, books, etiquette and music, and no one told her that love could be written into such a tear-jerking and heart-touching story.
At the age of seventeen, she gradually sprouted her heart, and when she saw the heroine in "Flowers and Things" to save the male protagonist's death, she couldn't help but shed a line of sad pear blossom tears, she also wanted to love vigorously in her life, instead of taking the mission of the royal family, marrying a so-called emperor who had never met, and would circle the square inch for a lifetime.
Suddenly, a pure white handkerchief was handed to him.
She looked up in amazement and crashed into a deep look that seemed to be smiling, and it was the host of the morning auction, Boss Lin called him Luo Gongzi.
"Little white girl, Xiao Sheng broke into your room and was rude, but just now I heard Boss Lin mention that Little White Girl is reading "Flower Affairs", and suddenly I met a confidant, so I can't wait to communicate with Little White Girl."
Luo Xiyin is so smart, when he saw Xiaobai crying for the fictional story, he knew that this woman was pure in heart and her soul was a blank paper that could be painted. He also did what he liked, opening with the topic that Xiaobai cared about, which instantly shortened the distance between the two.
Xiaobai's eyes were hazy with tears, "Have you ever watched "Flowers and Things"? Zhang Sheng was too ruthless and unrighteous, Yingying betrayed the family for him, and even gave her life, who knew that he married the daughter of the prime minister in a blink of an eye. β
Luo Xiyin closed the folding fan with one hand, hit the fan bone heavily on the palm of his left hand, and sighed: "This Zhang Sheng is simply the best scumbag among our men." Yingying is so beautiful and intelligent, how could she fall to death on this crooked neck tree. β
Crooked neck tree?!
Xiao Bai smiled, although the veil dwelled in the arc of her beautiful smile, the exposed eyebrows and eyes were as bright as stars, "It's so strange and interesting for you to speak." β
Luo Xiyin was stunned, even his eyes were so beautiful, he didn't know how seductive this face under this veil was. He suddenly had a conquering impulse from the male instinct to tear open the veil of annoyance and see how beautiful the face really was beneath the veil!
But he knew that he couldn't be too hasty with such a woman.
So he resumed his cynical smile, "Humor is synonymous with me, and it is my honor to make the little white girl happy." Next, allow me to formally introduce myself. β
"My name is Luo Xiyin, I call myself the first handsome in Golden State, but it's actually the same, I'm very unserious when I'm playing, and I'm very reliable when I'm serious, I think the little white girl is new to the city and needs me to be such a guide!" Luo Xiyin gags and makes Xiaobai laugh again and again.
The two chatted happily, and the afternoon passed quickly, during which Lin Yuan was not at ease and worried that Luo Xiyin would bully Xiaobai, so he sent Alai upstairs to deliberately inspect several times.
About to dusk, the Luo family sent someone to call Luo Xiyin home, Luo Xiyin reluctantly left Yunlaiqi, and when he left, he made an appointment to meet next time: "Little white girl, I know a good place, it is very good to watch the sunset, I don't know if you can enjoy the light?" β
The two chatted happily just now, although they let down their guard, but she was a little apprehensive when she went to the appointment alone, she said, "I'll ask Boss Lin first." We'll talk about it then, okay? β
Luo Xiyin smiled, his mind raced, it seemed that this little white trusted Lin Yuan quite a lot, and he had to start with Lin Yuan.
On the way back, he was suddenly full of guilt, he knew that he was a veteran of flowers, if he treated this woman who was as pure as a blank sheet of paper, he was really a little inferior, but why did he have such a strong impulse in his heart at this moment, he wanted to accompany her, wanted to listen to her voice, and wanted to see her smile.
It's like never before.
For Lin Kite, the "huge sum" in her arms was not as used as she imagined, she used it to complete the auction house and buy the treasure, she had already spent 200 silver ingots, and the rest of the money had to be paid for taxes.
The commercial tax in Jinzhou City is not high, and the standard is uniformly levied according to 7 points, that is, if you earn 100 copper coins, you have to hand over 7 copper coins. Lin Kite has 210 silver ingots, and needs to pay about 14 silver ingots.
Usually, the tax collection team on Suzaku Street is easy-going and polite, and after collecting all the tax money due, they leave politely, but today this group of people is menacing, and their words and demeanors carry a strong sense of finding fault, as if they are determined to cure the forest kite.
"Boss Lin, you didn't pay the right taxes last month in this little inn, right? You can't be permeable, you have to be an honest man. The captain of the tax squad flicked his beard and said.
Lin Yuan nodded and took out the account book, "Sir, how dare a good citizen like me do a small business to evade taxes." You see, this is last month's harvest, and at seven points, I should only pay 1 silver ingot. β
The team leader unceremoniously swept the ledger on the ground, and snorted coldly with his nostrils facing the sky: "It's not enough, from today onwards, your Yunlaiqi tax point will be raised to 10 points?" β
Lin Kite was shocked, why? Why the sudden increase in taxes?!
Sister Meimei next to her muttered: "10 points? It's a robbery, right? β
"How to speak, be polite. Believe it or not, I'll go up to 50 points, let you drink the northwest wind! The squad leader glared at Sister Meimei angrily, but the conversation was only aimed at Lin Kite.
"I'm sorry, I can't speak, I'm offending you. Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, sir, why do you suddenly have to impose a heavy tax on Yun Laiqi. Lin Yuan took a deep breath and held back the anger in her heartβshe could see that this group of lackeys wanted to avenge the failure of the auction for Jinxia, the queen of the tax collectors on Vermilion Bird Street! It turns out that businessmen are afraid of officials, and money is afraid of power, which is an unchanging truth in ancient and modern times.
The squad leader squinted at Lin Kite, "The tax policy has always been flexible and changeable, this Boss Lin should know." β
Indeed, the tax system of Jinzhou City itself is stable and orderly, but it is not written, and there is a lot of room for flexible operation to form rules, so when the captain of this squad came out with these words to pressure Lin Kite, Lin Kite was speechless.
She can only choose to save the country with a curve.
