The administrator of the territory may collect taxes on the property within his domain, which is the law of all countries and is not limited to the territory of the principality. Even multinational companies with international surnames like the Mercenary Guild have to comply with such laws. It's just that many times, the nobles in various places will maintain a very good relationship with the mercenary guild, and they will not be too embarrassed.

But Meng Han is different, the Mercenary Guild took a fancy to Meng Han's huge interests this time, so he agreed to the cooperation request of the Stormwind City Lord and took over this quarry with huge interests. I thought that as long as I came over to greet people with a smiling face, and then coupled with the power of clearing the underground mercenaries, the quarry would be at my fingertips. Unexpectedly, Meng Han actually made such a request.

For Meng Han, the law has become the most advantageous tool for him to pit the Mercenary Guild at any time. Everyone calculated that Meng Han was now weak, and Meng Han was now forced to transfer the quarry, and everyone calculated that Meng Han would definitely not be able to fight the Storm City Lord, but everyone only missed one thing, no matter who held the quarry in their hands, the quarry was still on the land of Huangsha Town. And the property on the land of Huangsha Town must pay taxes to the lord of Huangsha Town, which is the law of the principality and the law of the whole world.

As long as Meng Han is willing, the tax rate of the quarry can be set at an exaggerated 99 percent, and no one can say that he is not a word. This is a power given to the lord by law. The reason why Meng Han was willing to let go of the quarry so easily was precisely because there was such a guarantee. This kind of real estate, whoever gets it, can't move it out, so he can only be at the mercy of Meng Han's will.

Mingsuan, Yang Mou, obviously knew what Meng Han thought, but among so many people present, no one could refute Meng Han. The mercenary guild just took advantage of the psychological advantage created by a few people, and in front of this law full of righteousness, it was as ridiculous as a boring clown.

"Your Excellency!" a threatening voice suddenly came out of the mouth of the young man who had just left here, "You'd better know what you're talking about right now!"

"Oh?" Meng Han directly turned his body in the direction of the young man, and seemed to be a little surprised, and then asked with doubts: "What? Do you mean to say, or rather, that your mercenary guild means that I, as the lord of Huangsha Town, have no right to collect taxes on the properties in Huangsha Town, or does your guild already have the privilege of not paying taxes to the local lord?"

Meng Han's words were very insidious, no matter which of the two young people who chose it, they would be misled by Meng Han. The Mercenary Guild questioned the liege's authority to tax the territory? What is the difference between this and rebellion? As for whether the Mercenary Guild has the privilege of not paying taxes, needless to say, even the most respected Wizards' Guild has the obligation to pay taxes. It's just that usually the taxes they pay are far less than the price that countries pay to buy them. Even if the mercenary guild is powerful, and even if they have the strength to subvert a small principality at any time, they can only dare to do so, but they dare not admit that they have the privilege of not paying taxes. That's politics.

"Our Mercenary Guild ......" The young man really didn't seem to know the height of the sky, and as soon as he opened his mouth to say these words, he was brutally interrupted by the middle-aged man beside Meng Han: "Shut up!" This time the middle-aged man's voice was unusually angry, and even the young man was taken aback. Hurriedly closed his mouth, and looked at Meng Han with hatred in his eyes, as if he was staring at his father-killing enemy.

Meng Han didn't care about the young man's gaze, turned to the middle-aged man's side meaningfully, and asked with a smile: "What is your mercenary guild?"

"Of course, our Mercenary Guild will follow the law and pay taxes to your lordship. The middle-aged man's smile deepened, and then he said very casually as if reminding Meng Han: "However, Huangsha Town, as a subsidiary territory of Stormwind City, should also pay taxes to Stormwind City, right?"

"Of course!" Meng Han fully understood the middle-aged man's words, but he still replied with a smile: "However, I have already paid the taxes for the next ten years in advance to Lord Count Mars, so I won't worry about you thinking about this matter for the time being." ”

The middle-aged man didn't expect Meng Han to say this, originally he planned to put pressure on Meng Han through Stormwind City, but Meng Han ignored this stubble at all, and he already had a way to deal with it. It was impossible for him to ask Meng Han to show proof of tax payment, and he didn't know whether what Meng Han said about falling to the ground was true or false, but his momentum had been completely suppressed by Meng Han.

All of this made the head of this mercenary guild branch a little unexpected, and all of his own advantages were completely defeated under Meng Han's upright conspiracy from a legal point of view. Originally, I wanted to hold the quarry firmly in the palm of my hand in front of everyone in a high-profile manner, so that people would know the backstage of the quarry, and retreat in the face of difficulties, but now it seems to be difficult to ride a tiger.

"If you want to collect taxes, you have to have the strength to collect taxes before you can speak. The young man over there immediately uttered a youthful and vigorous word.

"Violent resistance to taxes is to be hanged. Meng Han did not show weakness, and immediately replied-for-tat, but when he spoke, his body did not move, and he simply carried the words of the young man behind his back.

What young people say is basically a wise saying, but there are some things that can be done, but they can't be said, especially not in public. Young people don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, so they make such a mistake. was speechless by Meng Han's words, and in the end, he could only leave a cruel sentence angrily and anxiously: "Hmph, we can pay taxes, but if some people lose their heads in their sleep in the middle of the night, don't blame others!"

"Do you threaten me?" Meng Han turned his head very seriously this time, looked at the young man, and asked very seriously.

"What about threatening you?" This time, not only the young man, but the dozen or so people around him all stood up. Meng Han's series of words had already made these tough guys feel very dissatisfied, if it weren't for the middle-aged man who kept hinting at them to restrain them, they would have turned their faces a long time ago.

"I'm so scared!" Meng Han said these words at a gentle and abnormal speed, and then waved his right hand and directly made a movement pointing at the young man.

The middle-aged man suddenly realized the trouble, and a feeling of extreme danger came to his subconscious, and without thinking about it, he rushed out and went straight to the young man's side. The man was still in the air, and he had already drawn his sword. As soon as his foot hit the ground, a steel shield on the ground against the corner of the table had already been picked up by his kick, blocking the young man. At the same time, the sword in his hand also slashed towards a gray shadow.

Snap, ding, two unusually clear sounds, the middle-aged man's arm holding the sword shook violently, but he firmly blocked the saber in the path of the gray shadow rushing towards the young man. Then, everyone heard a sharp sound of breaking the sky. A group of people stared blankly at the scene in front of them, and no one could speak.

In the front, it was the sound of the gray shadow directly penetrating the steel shield, while in the back, it was the sound of the gray shadow meeting the middle-aged man's sword, and then penetrating the sword spine again. The middle-aged man's sword must not be ordinary, the steel shield was penetrated by the gray shadow and directly turned into fragments, while the middle-aged man's sword still maintained its original shape, but in the original thick sword ridge, it was directly penetrated by the gray shadow, and then stopped on the saber.

It was only then that the gray shadow revealed its original form, but it was a short, lean steel arrow. The tip of the arrow still shimmered, firmly embedded in the middle-aged man's sword. The tip of the arrow was only a few inches away from the young man's heart. The whole time, the young man didn't seem to react, and stood there dumbfounded, watching everything that happened.

Everyone gasped, and even the dozen or so tough guys who had been sitting arrogantly in the tavern and drove away most of the mercenaries were all stunned and incredulous. Anyone who sees such a powerful arrow will probably have the same expression. This is still the result of these people who have been licking blood for many years, and they have already faced an unknown number of life-and-death battles. If you were an ordinary person, it is estimated that you will faint directly from such a fright.

The young man's face was as pale as white paper, and cold sweat trickled down involuntarily. If it weren't for the alertness and skill of the middle-aged man, this arrow would have pierced his chest long ago. Looking at the majesty of the steel short arrow continuously passing through the thick iron shield and the sword spine, even if the young man was wearing heavy cavalry, it was estimated that he would not be spared at this moment.

"Misunderstanding, my lord, this is a misunderstanding!" the middle-aged man shouted, but his body did not dare to move, and his outstretched arm maintained the posture of holding a sword, as if petrified. It wasn't until this time that a member of the Mercenary Guild realized that something was wrong.

Meng Han's body flickered with a few faint lights, and the people of the Mercenary Guild present were basically well-informed people, otherwise they would not have been sent to preside over the branch. At this moment, I can't see anywhere, all of these flashes on Meng Han's body are magic shields.

What's even more shocking is that I don't know when, under the feet of the young man and the middle-aged man, two sharp and abnormal stone pillars silently rose, and at this moment the tip of the stone pillar was on the throat of the two of them, and even entered some flesh, but it didn't pierce the epidermis.

Then, there was an uproar in the crowd, and a large number of guards from Huangsha Town flashed, surrounding these people, and everyone drew their bows and arrows ten steps away, pointing at these guys from the Mercenary Guild. If they make any moves, they will attack immediately.

"Misunderstanding, my lord!" Everyone was silent, only the middle-aged man's voice continued: "There must be a misunderstanding here!
