Chapter 145: When the Conspiracy Continues
Lin Qi described to Long Cheng the 'grand occasion' of No. 1 Shenghui Street!
When Long Cheng heard that there were antiques inherited from the Dark Period in the courtyard of that mansion, everyone saw that his eyes suddenly lit up, and they were exactly the same as the eyes that Lin Qi usually had when he saw the gold coin.
Yu Lian was anxious on the side, there were not only those valuable things in No. 1 Shenghui Street, but also the two beauties that Titian was worried about. Even if Lin Qi ransacked No. 1 Shenghui Street, Yu Lian would not be the slightest worried, anyway, with Lin Qi's character, if the mansion was really ransacked, Yu Lian would definitely be able to get a huge profit.
The question is, if Longcheng, who is obviously not a decent man, hurts Ya and Ling, what will Titian do? If he can't get those two lovely little beauties, won't the Yu Lian family not get those five lovely positions?
Looking at Lin Qi pitifully, Yu Lian blinked her eyes desperately, and the water vapor rose in her beautiful eyes, looking so pitiful.
Lin Qi glanced at Yu Lian and said his plan with a smile.
Long Cheng nodded indifferently, he didn't make any comments on Lin Qi's plan, it was nothing more than rushing into a certain mansion and looting it, which was not difficult for Long Cheng at all. For him, this was just a small action, back then he led tens of thousands of troops to do this kind of looting in a group, on a large scale, Lin Qi had never seen how terrible Dragon City was at that time.
"That's it, it just so happened that yesterday we had an agreement with His Excellency Titian, and I think they are also very uncomfortable now, as long as they go out and ask for help. Then our chance has come!" Lin Qi took a big sip of wine and said with a calm expression: "We only want money, not life, go in as quietly as possible, and don't alarm anyone." After all, this is the imperial capital, and the defense force is still very strong!"
Long Cheng nodded thoughtfully, and he snorted, "After all, it's the capital of your barbarian country, hmm." That Titian has a very high status?"
Yu Lian smiled, he could hear Lin Qi's plan clearly just now, this plan would not hurt those two cute little beauties, so his mood became very good. He smiled and bowed his head to Long Cheng and said, "Yes, His Excellency Titian's father is the current Vice Minister of the Empire. The Hua Li family is the top nobles in the empire except for the royal family, although he does not hold any official position, but his influence in the imperial capital is not small. β
Long Cheng smiled with satisfaction, he touched a few beard slags on his chin, stared at Yu Lian deeply and asked with a smile: "So, he should know the whereabouts of your emperor? is that old guy who refuses to stay at home honestly and goes to the south to escape the cold in the winter?"
Yu Lian was stunned, and his eyes became like dead fish.
The wine glass in Lin Qi's hand was suddenly crumpled by him. He also looked at Long Cheng in shock. What is this guy doing to find out about the whereabouts of the Emperor? The old emperor who is almost seventy years old, the old emperor who made the empire stand tall among the top powers in the Western Continent, what is Dragon City doing to find out about his whereabouts?
"Your Excellency Long Cheng, what are you asking this for?" Lin Qi asked cautiously.
Enzo had straightened his face, his right hand tightly gripping the hilt of his sword. As an excellent cadet of the Imperial Army Academy, Enzo's loyalty to the Empire is impeccable, and Dragon City is likely to threaten the safety of the Emperor, even if he knows that he is not an opponent of Dragon City. But Enzo must launch an attack on Dragon City.
Feeling the strange atmosphere in the private room, Long Cheng spread his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay, what's the fuss? I won't assassinate your emperor, that bad old man has nothing to do with me." I need a voucher, a voucher that I have reached the Western Continent along the way!"
Long Cheng squinted his eyes and said, "I need to borrow his emperor's seal, hmm." A stamped thing!"
The atmosphere in the private room suddenly relaxed, Lin Qi touched the cold sweat on his forehead and shook his head again and again: "God, if you really want to assassinate the emperor, then I will immediately dissociate myself from you." To tell you the truth, I wouldn't dare hang out with thugs like that. I'm a law-abiding and rule-abiding person, and I don't want to have anything to do with thugs like that. β
Long Cheng, Enzo, and Yu Lian rolled their eyes at the same time, obeying the law and following the rules? Who just laid out a whole set of plans to ransack No. 1 Shenghui Street? It must be said that Lin Qi had a similar face to Long Cheng at some point.
After killing a few bottles of spirits in the tavern, Lin Qi and his party left the tavern with a little drunken behavior and went their separate ways.
Enzo went outside the city to pick up Barr, Aunt Lily, and a group of elite thugs from the Black Tiger family, and Yu Lian rushed to Titian's mansion. Lin Qiwei Dinosaur City did something uncontrollable, he helped Dragon City dress up, and he also changed his appearance, the two of them changed their coats, and walked around Shenghui Street.
With No. 1 Shenghui Street as the center of the circle, the two of them circled around and initially figured out the nearby terrain.
By the afternoon, Lin Qi and Long Cheng were already sitting in a luxurious restaurant hundreds of meters away from No. 1 Shenghui Street, looking at the movement from a distance through the floor-to-ceiling windows.
It should be Yu Lian who met Titian in time, and Lin Qi also played a great role in Titian's plans last night, Lin Qi and Long Cheng had just eaten a herb fried fish steak in the restaurant, when they saw several men dressed in black with solemn expressions riding horses to the door of No. 1 Shenghui Street.
The men were draped in half-length black trench coats, and their bodies were simple and neat, which was the usual attire of civilian officials of the Empire. They wore tricorne hats with a thin gold trim on the brim, and a gold badge hung in the center of the hatβone hand holding a small scale, on which were placed three or five coins and a lemon on trays.
This badge shows the identity of these people, they are all officials of the imperial tax department, looking at the gold trim on the brim of their hats, it is obvious that their rank is not low, they should all be very powerful figures in the tax department.
Several people dismounted in front of the door of No. 1 Shenghui Street, and a middle-aged man in the lead raised a gold-covered cane and knocked heavily on the door of the gatehouse.
"In the name of the Imperial Family, please open the door. Tell your lords, you must pay the special cleaning tax and the greening tax of the imperial capital today!In the name of the Imperial Family, open the door, and then, please pay your due taxes. β
Special Cleaning Tax and Greenery Tax?
A group of gentlemen guarding in front of No. 1 Shenghui Avenue were all stunned, does the empire have this tax?
