Chapter 199: Tax Collector
"This is what we got in the hands of two robbers, in their hands it was swag, and when it comes to us it is the spoils of war." Looking at the guards who had forced him to dismount, he asked, "Shouldn't the treasure from the robbers go to the victors?" ”
"Your situation only happens when the owner has issued a commission to defeat the bandits' lost property, but obviously these two horses are not here," the head of the guard said, looking at the unwiped blood stains on his horses, "Of course, if the city security team has seized the loot, the owner will pay a hardship fee when collecting the lost property. ”
"Oh, then these two horses are your trophies." Hearing this, he dismounted and said, "If you need the corpse of a robber, walk ten miles along the road, and the two headless ones are." ”
"Only commodities and merchants need it, but the market tax still has to be paid, how many rabbit skins have you sold? Make up the tax. ”
"What's the situation? Do you need a license to sell along the street? ”
"Oh? The Leather Guild didn't bother you? Do you have a charter? ”
"Rabbit skin."
"What are you selling?"
"Eighty pieces of silver cutlery." He watched him write his voucher and asked, "I used to sell things on the street and didn't charge taxes again." ”
"Oh, that's not a conflict, I'm charging market tax." The man pulled out the parchment roll and pulled out the quill, "How much is the amount of the toll?" ”
"Yes."
"Toll tax?"
"We've just paid taxes in the city." Hearing the words of the direct curtain.
"That's a good idea, but I think the problem is that they don't have the money when they get sick." The man then looked at the package behind Rust, "Traveling merchant? ”
"If the basic hygiene is not done well, the root cause of the epidemic cannot be eliminated, and the treatment will be recycled." As they entered the block, a middle-aged man wearing a flat hat walked towards them.
"Isn't it the healing potion that has already been delivered to Farlon? Why are there still dead people on the streets, and I don't feel safe at home? Rust looked at him.
Rust carried his lighter luggage and went into the city, dodging the dung spilled by the residents on the rooftop, letting go of the carriage to collect the corpses, bypassing the two whippers who whipped himself, and then looked at the things he didn't care to step on and couldn't help frowning, the environment here was as dirty and messy as the village!
The tax collector gritted his teeth and looked at the leader of the guards who was looking at him coldly, and then at the smiling man who was looking at him, and yelled, "Pay the toll tax!" ”
"But he didn't do anything for me, it was just a friendship between friends." He turned to the tax collector and said, "Are we going to the trial now?" ”
The leader of the guards quietly let go, and the guards behind him put down their weapons and reached out to receive the gifts, and the tax officer on the side looked at this scene with a blue face, gritted his teeth and said, "You are taking bribes!" ”
"Thank you so much, Mr. Sheriff, Farron prospers because of people like you!" Hearing this, he praised the leader of the guards, then bent down and grabbed a handful of cutlery and handed it to the other party.
"It's enough to kill his entire family, but it's a pity that you're not a citizen and don't have these privileges." The head of the guard glanced at the pale-faced tax collector next to him and said, "But if he sues you, your share will be forcibly turned into a defendant, and the defendant and the plaintiff can have a judicial duel, kill each other in the presence of the church, and the compensation will be much less." ”
"Oh." Tusele nodded, then kicked the silver cutlery, "Is that enough?" ”
"It's okay to pay expensive compensation." The head of the guard said.
Hearing this, he sighed and asked the head of the guard, "Isn't there any other alternative punishment?" ”
Seeing that the tax officer was so straightforwardly discussing the cost of killing himself, his high momentum suddenly retracted, and he glared at him angrily, "Son, Farlon's legal system is very sound, unless you want to die!" ”
"Hanging or chopping hands, but the other party is a tax collector and a public official, so the probability of the former punishment will be greater." The leader of the guards said with some surprise.
"No, I'm a devout believer, and I'm the most obedient." Hearing this, he nodded, then looked at the high-spirited tax collector and asked, "What punishment will I receive if I kill him now?" ”
"Of course not, this needs to be arbitrated by the city's jurisdiction." The head of the guard said, "Since someone has reported you, according to the rules of the city, you have to follow me to the Inquisition, I hope you don't resist, I am a high-ranking warrior." ”
The guards who had just walked away immediately ran back when they heard this, and surrounded the two of them again, and Rust was about to go crazy when they saw the arrival of the guards, "Isn't it that Farron has already implemented the governorship?" Whatever he is! ”
"Damn bastard, how dare you insult this tax officer!" The tax officer's face turned red instantly when he heard the words, "Someone! I found a thief stealing nobles' supplies! ”
"Speaking of evidence, Lao Tzu came to Farlong for the first time, why don't you have children in your family who are also my species?" He looked at the tax collector and said, "Do what you have to do honestly, don't die because of greed for a while." ”
Seeing this, the tax officer stepped forward and teased twice, and when he saw that there was nothing to hide, he straightened up and looked at the two of them and said, "With so many silver tableware, I suspect that you have stolen the things of the nobles in the city, and many people have stolen them from their homes recently." ”
The corners of Rust's mouth twitched when he heard this, but he still opened the package, revealing a series of household items inside.
"I'll let you open it!" The tax collector looked at Rust and his voice intensified.
"That's luggage." Rust disgruntled.
"It's in good condition, it's not darkened at all." The tax collector's eyes lit up as he looked at the silver cutlery, then pointed to another package and said, "Open that one too." ”
Laster did as he was told, and immediately a large pile of silver cutlery appeared in front of the tax collector.
"That's good." Tusew nodded, and then saw the flat-hat tax officer come to the front, pointing to Rust's package and saying, "Open." ”
"No, I'll give you no entrance fee." The leader of the guards motioned for his men to lead the horses, and then said to him, "The tax collector will follow you for the rest." ”
He looked at the guy who ran all the way from afar, and asked aloud, "Is it the entrance fee to the city?" ”
"That's true." The head of the guard said, then shouted to a guy in a flat hat at the door, "Come and collect the taxes!" ”
"That's right, but I'm going to stay here after Farron finishes shipping, after all, there are a lot of thieves at this time, and the road to trade is not easy." Masturbation.
"You're good." The leader of the guards was pleased with the way he had risen, and he looked at Rust, who was also dismounted on the other side, unpacking his luggage, and asked, "Are you traveling merchants?" ”
"The goods I sold in the Valentino Kingdom are not asked by their lords to collect taxes from me, and I still use them here to make up for you?"
"Oh, I'm not going to let you take advantage of the chaos in the empire." The tax officer was stunned for a moment, and then handed over the first voucher, "You haven't sold your goods yet, have you, thirty silver cutlery." ”
"You've got a lot of taxes." Rolling his eyes, he motioned for Rust to pay his taxes.
