Chapter 347 Tax Spot Check

Chuan Lin listened to his words and nodded his head at the moment. "Good." You continue to divide. If there is any situation, you should report it to the deputy general manager of Nedel Flying Eagle Company, and I will inform him. For your safety, don't reach out to other officials again, and we'll take action as soon as the time comes

He paused for a moment, and then added: "Knight Liede, you have done a good job, and when the deed is done, I will ask the royal family for credit for you."

Lie was stunned for a moment, and then became ecstatic, Huo stood up, bowed deeply to Lorraine, and touched the top of his head: "The kindness of my lord, our family will never forget." ”

Lorraine said that he had to ask for credit from the royal family, in fact, he would get him an honorary title, and for Lorraine and Catherine, it was worth it to completely remove the slave trade from Ney, sweep away the dirt of officialdom, establish Lorraine's authority, and give away an honorary baron's hat.

But if you want to be hereditary, don't think about it.

This is mainly due to the large number of people in the Senate, the wolves are more and less meaty, and there is simply no way to buy them completely.

As a result, they are still quite strict about hereditary scrutiny. If it were not for the world's military merits or the kind of merit in expanding the territory, it would not be possible to get the hereditary hat.

But because of this, the title is extremely rare, so it is valuable.

It is also a matter of honoring the ancestors to produce an honorary title in a family, just like which family produced a jinshi in the past.

You must know that after the middle jinshi, the benefits are very great. Not to mention anything else, I think back then, after Fan Jin was lifted, it was also a house, and all the silver was automatically sent to the door.

Even the old man Hu Butcher, who used to look down on him, was a hero who went in with a white knife and came out with a red knife, killing people and killing pigs without blinking, and after seeing him, he was also scared

And more importantly, after having a knighthood, there are great concessions in the empire in terms of taxes. Even in the formulation of local taxes, there is a voice.

At that time, you can rely on your power to slap the table with those dog officials in a big way, blow your beard and stare at your eyes. This kind of thing, just thinking about it, is already enough to relieve the anger and worth the ticket price

Seeing off Gretan and Led, Lorraine saw that it was not too early, and hurried all the way back to the house in high spirits, not because she was happy to be able to clean up the group. It's because there are two big white beauties waiting for him at home.

At the family meeting after dinner, Lorraine told Catherine and Adele about the good things they had encountered today, and the family sat around to discuss their next move.

Without waiting for Lorraine to say what he was going to do, Leo jumped up first, and shouted with his chest folded: "I'll go, I'll go, my death squad should have a good fight." ”

Catherine was not allowed to lift her head. Lixuan vetoed it.

Leo snorted angrily and said, "You are brutally suppressing my growth and killing my enthusiasm. When I grow up and become an emperor, I will become a faint monarch, looking for dozens of girls every day. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

But Catherine, accustomed to hearing his threats, glanced up at Leo unhurriedly, and now he was like an angry frog, his stomach bulging with anger, and he chuckled at the moment, and asked, "I wonder what you do with dozens of girls every day?"

Then, thoughtfully, he gave Melina a gentle glance at the next one.

Melina lowered her head and walked behind Leo without saying a word, placing one hand on Leo's waist.

Leo raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "The boss said, the mighty cannot be bent, you will use violence, I will also say, I will find dozens of girls and play with their braids every day." Hahaha, how's it going? If you're afraid, let me go. ”

Lorraine felt that she was choked a little, and she had an urge to vomit blood, and Vera helped her for a long time by the side, and finally eased up.

He looked at the fat man standing in the middle with an arrogant face, shrugged his shoulders at the moment, and said secretly in his heart: Poor baby, I know this is it

Catherine shook her head, sighed, and said, "Okay, if you really have this ability, I'll help you find dozens more when the time comes."

Lorraine couldn't help but lose her voice, "Ah." snorted.

Catherine looked at his face, showed her white teeth at the moment, smiled, and said, "What's the matter, do you also want me to help you find dozens of girls, and then grab their braids to play?"

Lorraine was immediately moved and wanted to agree. But seeing Catherine's smiling smile, and the murderous intent revealed in her beautiful eyes, she couldn't help but shudder, and then shrank her head and obediently hid to the side.

Leo saw it, and couldn't help but let out an "ah", then turned his head, and said to Lorraine with a blank face: Why aren't they afraid? Boss, didn't you say that you want them to be obedient, so you said that you would find dozens of women, and then everyone would play together?

Lorraine was stunned, and after a long time, he pouted, and said secretly in his heart: "I didn't say that I was grabbing braids."

Catherine listened, and couldn't hold back at the moment, so she put her arms around Melina, and then laughed out loud.

She laughed as she gritted her teeth and scolded: "Yes" to you two "two bastards, I,,I can't get angry right now,,hahaha,"

Next to that, Adele's already smiling hands pressed her flat and smooth stomach and slid under the table.

Leo looked at it and couldn't help but be confused. I scratched my head. I wanted to threaten two more sentences, but for a while, I was handsome and had some weighty words, and then I only winked at Lorraine and asked him for help.

Lorraine didn't want to leave him alone. But look at his big shining black eyes, unleashing a starlight attack on himself. It's really hard to resist. In the end, he could only cough dryly twice, and then said: "Don't be busy yet, let's go to the deputy general manager of Feiying Company tomorrow and explain that he is responsible for connecting with that person, and we can't say when we will act." But when the time comes, Leo may really be needed. ”

Catherine stretched her arms and stretched her waist, revealing her infinitely beautiful figure, and then patted her mouth and yawned, and she and Adele had not slept enough for some reason

He asked, "What the hell do you have in mind?"

Lorraine said, "In a few days, I may have to personally supervise the operation, and you and Dale will have to take care of these official duties in my place."

I'm afraid that the armed tax collectors alone are not enough, because they are all locals, and no one can guarantee that there are no moles among them.

In this way, the help of the Praetorian Guards will be needed, and it will be up to Leo to bring hundreds of Praetorian Guards out of Nedel City unobtrusively. ”

Leo shook his head triumphantly and snorted at Catherine.

Catherine bit her lip and said, "Okay, but you have to keep an eye on this ruffian, I know what he can do."

Lorraine dozed off very fakely, pretending to be listless, but in fact, her eyes were shining, and said, "Got it, I'll be optimistic about Leo, it's late, go to bed." ”

Catherine lowered her head and snorted with a blushing face. Adele stood up, stretched her body, and said in a greasy voice: "Yes, tired, tired, go to sleep." ”

As he spoke, he flew over with a wink, and then walked out of the door and upstairs.

Catherine saw it and couldn't help but feel helpless. Then he also picked Lorraine, threw down what he was holding, and followed Adele out.

Leoqi said: "It's still early, why did I go to sleep, it's true, my body is really bad."

The next day, because it is a rest day. Lorraine and the others didn't get up until noon, and after lunch, Lorraine, Leo, and Vera took the Praetorian Guards, dressed as civilians, to the headquarters of the Flying Eagle Corporation's Nayan branch.

This is Vera's paradise, and for Vera, who has the right to reimbursement of expenses, this is naturally her home turf.

Along the way, the employees below were very respectful to Lorraine and Leo, but to Vera, it was filial piety, and in front of Vera, they all nodded and bowed, and they were very courteous.

Vera was so happy that her eyes narrowed, and she greeted people all the way with a very leadership style, and Lorraine faintly saw the majesty of her mother, Queen Anrelias, from Vera.

Lorraine and Leo tell the manager in charge of day-to-day affairs to be aware of a local named Led, who has a message to deliver to Lorraine at any time.

The manager simply accepted the order, and knew the rules very well and didn't ask a word, like this kind of sneaky thing, when they followed Lorraine and Leo before, they didn't do less, and now they do it again, of course, they are familiar with it, and even this manager is looking forward to it, every time Lorraine and Leo Yin are over, the business of the Flying Eagle Company can always be greatly improved.

On the surface, the Governor's Mansion in Nai An is now normal, and even the Governor of Lorraine attended the mid-year summary and commendation meeting of the Ne An Tax Bureau, commending the tax collectors who had done outstanding work in the first half of the year, and also opening the seaside sanatorium for senior officials of Nyder City to these people for vacation as a reward.

And Catherine and Adele have often been in Lorraine recently when they go out to inspect, and they take the place of Lorraine to preside over the government's daily work meetings.

Leo closed the door and stayed honestly in the governor's palace, scraping his own death squad.

Lorraine was afraid that Leo would not be able to bear it, so he pulled people out to practice now, and deliberately got a special forces skill scraping manual from his previous life and threw it to Leo.

Leo trained the Praetorian Guards like dogs every day, and not only that, but also built the backyard of the Governor's Palace into a practice ground, tossing the filthy smoke and miasma.

Leo understands that if he wants to go out and grab land and make a lot of money, he must first be powerful with his own brothers.

For this reason, Leo spared no expense to equip his Praetorian Guards, the heavy armor was inconvenient, and the chain mail defense was not enough, so he bought the kind of scale armor that was expensive and easy to break, but it was convenient and strong.

To engage in special operations, weapons have to be at hand, so each person has a stainless steel hand crossbow, which is built by dwarven craftsmen and assembled by the skillful hands of elves, which can penetrate heavy plate armor within a hundred feet, and a hundred hundred hits.

Not to mention other hooks, swords, daggers, throwing knives and the like.

Now, Leo is ambitious, and wants to take his team to show off his skills, and then come back with a big rush.

A few days later, an unsigned text message was forwarded to Lorraine by the manager of the Flying Eagle Company.

Later, Grandpa Leo was bored in the Governor's Palace, and wanted to go out to have fun, fulfill his duty to come to Naian to investigate and investigate, and took a few hundred entourages out of Nedel City to relax.

At the same time, the tax system clerks who were vacationing at the beach house also had a whimsical idea to play sea fishing, and hundreds of people took their packages and boarded several transport ships to go to sea.

The flat water and wide surface of the Beni River have created the province of Nai An.

As the artery of Nai'an, the Beni River is busy at any given time, with boats constantly shuttling in and out.

Even at night, the lights of the ships are as bright as the stars in the sky. The lights along the river kept flowing

Lorraine and Leo stood on the top floor of a long, wide transport ship, with the stars in the night sky overhead, and the cool night breeze blowing.

Leo poked his head out in a hurry, kept looking at the river, and muttered, "Why haven't you come yet?"

Lorraine looked at the boats shuttling on the river, and said secretly in his heart: "Those slave traders are really shrewd, day and night, like this, it is really difficult to investigate and deal with, especially after buying the guard post for the task of inspecting the ships, they can be said to be smooth all the way on the water."

Moreover, without detailed information, there would be no way to find out so many boats on the river.

The lights on the top of the masts of the two ships below flashed twice, and the Praetorian Guard soldier standing behind Lorraine said, "My lord, the brothers have already shown their goal, and they are coming. ”

Lorraine nodded, Leo put his fingers together, waved forward heroically, made a main theme gesture that the officers had always used, and said, "Okay."

The helmsman immediately changed course, and the five large ships immediately dispersed, slowly approaching the two transports that were heading upstream.

Lorraine's ship remained silent, and the ship of Liangli approached first.

On the ship that was being targeted, someone suddenly shouted: "How did you drive the boat, you don't have long eyes, you're going to crash."

The boats on both sides suddenly lit up. Under the bright light of the fire, the tax collectors in the arms of the ship with shields in their hands and wearing chain mail stood in a row, shouting: "Tax inspection, stop"

There was a sudden chaos on the originally orderly river. As soon as the other ships heard "tax spot checks." A few words, immediately like the hawkers who heard the chengguan coming, turned their heads and ran as far away from them as they could.

The people on the two transport ships were still stunned, and said in their hearts, why are they so unlucky, and they were spot-checked by the tax collectors?

However, these people were also fearless, and the tax collectors generally did not inspect the goods, and they had all the formalities in their hands, and the slaves were hidden in the dark room where the goods were piled up.

By this time, the tax collectors had thrown their grappling hooks onto their ships, pulled the two boats in, and then mounted the gangplanks and quickly stepped onto their transports.

Several high-ranking tax collectors in uniform, seemingly as usual, with dead faces to whom everyone owed him thousands of gold coins, stepped onto the transport ship.

Lorraine and Leo watched them move in the shadows not far away, and Leo said nervously: "Boss, you can't make a mistake, we don't have many opportunities."

Lorraine frowned and looked at the group of people on the deck of the transport ship, and said, "Don't worry, there are our mages on it, and there are people hiding on the ship that can't be detected by the mages." ”

Leo let out an "oh", turned to the Praetorian Guard, and said, "Password, get ready, brothers, we will catch them all, and if you escape, you will be killed."

"Yes, Your Highness

Lorraine saw that the people on the morning board had spoken for a while, and the tax collectors shook their hands and walked into the cabin. And the owner of the ship hurriedly followed.

In less than five minutes, the tax collectors were back on deck, and several people were huddled together and noisy again, and the outermost tax collector made a gesture behind his back, and several of the tax collectors stepped back and made the appearance of preparing to return to the ship.

At this moment, from the sides and the ships below, several magic flares suddenly rose, illuminating the vicinity of the two transport ships as if it were daylight.

A tax collector disguised as a mage suddenly made a move, and a bright power grid covered the shipowner and the others, and with a snort, these people screamed and twitched on the ship. Lorraine ordered to catch as many people alive as possible, but he couldn't let anyone go, so the mage chose an electric shock technique that could temporarily paralyze people.

Lorraine looked at the faint blue arc that flashed in the night, and suddenly remembered Lorina, who should still be in the maple leaf danlin at this time.

Maybe it's a wave, maybe it's a little cheap, Lorraine suddenly feels nostalgic for this kind of tingling and itching.

At this time, the tax collectors shouted, raised their weapons, and heroically rushed onto the transport, and soon surrounded the exit of the cabin and attacked inside.

I saw several black figures come out of the window and jump into the water.

The Praetorian Guards, who were waiting on both sides, shook their hands and pulled the trigger of their crossbows, and there was a sound of Ding Ding aggressively, and not only the people who jumped down were shot into hedgehogs, but even a crossbow bolt was inserted into the hull of the ship.

When Leo saw it, he was extremely distressed. Jumping on the boat and shrugging: "Let you practice more, but you don't listen, the hit rate is so low, how many crossbow arrows will be wasted on me." Do you think you are a soldier of the Unitist country, kill a person with a half-ton bow and arrow, and if this continues, young master, I will let you go bankrupt sooner or later (in World War II, the US army destroyed an enemy and consumed an average of 20,000 bullets, and now, the war in Afghanistan is 250,000. )

The Praetorian Guard soldiers behind Lorraine immediately lowered their heads, looking faceless, these guys are living well under Leo, and they are used to spending a lot of money.

Under the light of the flares, the water in front of the vicinity was unusually clear, and those who jumped had no chance of dodging the Praetorian Guard's fire.

After seeing the tragic situation of his companion, the man who followed the person who came out of the window wisely threw down the guy in his hand, raised his hand and surrendered obediently.

The tax collectors quickly dragged out a group of people from the ship's cabin, some of whom had been hacked to death for resisting, and the others were all wounded, and the blood was pouring from the wounds.

After tying them all up, the tax collectors freed the slaves from under the hold and brought them to the deck. (To be continued)
