Chapter 147: Elham's Response
Lin Qi and Fang Cheng pretended to be two idlers, and slowly arrived near the main gate of No. 1 Shenghui Street, leaning against the wall covered with creepers' dead vines. There were also twenty or thirty people like them who seemed to be extremely poor and bored, and everyone looked at the tax collectors with a smile.
These idlers seem to be no different from the ruffians on the streets, but their simple clothes are not simple at all, at least the ruffians cannot afford to wear relics made of long-staple cotton worsted cotton produced in the pagan territory between the East and the West, and a few of them even carry gemstone rings on their hands. Obviously, these people are the eyes and ears of some gentlemen.
And what these tax collectors did fell into their eyes, and everyone knew in their hearts that someone had done something to them against Elham. First, he used his power to tempt, and he threatened Di with small steps, and when Elham and them gave in step by step, and when there was no way to retreat, it was the best time for the two pretty little beauties to be swallowed in one bite.
It's just that there are a lot of servants who can command the officials of the Ministry of Taxation in the imperial capital, and these, idle men, don't know which son made the move. But either way, it's a lot of fun. Special cleaning tax and greening tax? What interesting things, the social circles of the imperial capital will talk about these two groundbreaking new words for at least two or three months.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one said a word. Lin Qi and Long Cheng were also regarded as peers by them, and everyone looked at the few tax officials who stood in front of the door with strange smiles, as if they were the incarnation of the laws of the empire.
"Do you know what the lemons on those tricorne hats mean?" Lin Qi asked Long Cheng in a low voice:
Before Long Cheng could answer, an idler standing next to him had already laughed sullenly: "Hey, brother, which house are you from?" Who doesn't know that this means that the tax collectors will be able to squeeze the last drop of juice out of the shriveled lemon? hehe, I don't know who designed this cockade for the tax department, he must have a grudge against those greedy guys!''
Lin Qi spread out his hands and smiled, and he bowed to the idler's jaw, "Damn tax officer!"
The idler sighed lightly, and said with deep understanding, "I wish them to go to hell and have a carnival with the demons as soon as possible!"
The idlers were giggling and chattering here, and Tollin, who was standing in front of the door, turned around and closed the door with a very difficult face. He quickly went to the main building, and came to the meeting room where Lin Qi and Titian had been last night.
In the spacious living room, Elham's body floated lightly in the air, his feet folded and his hands folded into a strange seal and placed on his knees, and a faint light emanated from his body. The bright light, like the first rays of the morning light of the sun, was smooth and soft, and the whole meeting room was filled with a sacred and solemn atmosphere, and all the dust in the meeting room seemed to be expelled by this light.
Ya and Ling sat behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, each holding a thick ancient magic scroll, and looking gloomily at the winter garden outside the window. Fifty meters from the main building, the flowers are blooming like spring, and fifty meters away is the gray lawn, which is a stark contrast.
A faint red light flickered in Ya Heling's eyebrows, and the two of them breathed together, and the rolling heat wave was accused of not leaking out of the space of three inches near their bodies. The heat emitted from their bodies was so incredible that it was as if they were wrapped in two huge red crystals, and the terrifying heat almost condensed on the surface of their bodies.
Torin walked into the parlor with a gloomy face, and he said in a deep voice, "Elham, it's this damn thing. The tax collectors of the country, they are going to charge us two and inexplicable taxes. The god of ice and snow is above, I have never heard of such a tax and a tax!''
Elham slowly opened his eyes, and his sockets were a blank white light, without the slightest emotion. At this moment, Elham doesn't even have any popularity, it's completely like a projection of a certain and a puppet and a spirit in this world.
"How much money do we have left?"
Torin shrugged his arms as he looked at Ya and Ling. Ya Heling, who was concentrating on controlling the fire around his body, said in unison: "One hundred and twenty gold coins, seven silver coins, and thirteen copper coins, until our family's emergency reinforcements arrive, we only have this money. ,’
Elham let out a deep sigh, "This is a real problem, if in the church, those hateful bugs have already been judged. But this is the Gallic Empire, where we have come to proclaim the splendor of God. This is the first time that we have left the family to act under the protection of the family, and it will be bad for us if we have just left the family and we have lost all the funds for our activities. ’’
Torin sighed deeply, and he shook his head, "It's very bad! But Elham, you and I, hell, you have twelve brothers eyeing each other, and I have nine! Not to mention the bastards who are competing with you and me for our target position, we must not let our predicament be known to outsiders. ’’
Elham's eyes swept across the parlor without the slightest hint of humanity, and he sighed in a low voice: "Any piece of furnishings here is worth a lot of money, but this is a secret stronghold of the church, even a flower is registered, and even if we sell a water cup, we will be sent to the black prison for three years by that stingy old fellow!"
With a wry smile, Torin shook his head and said, "Elham, the Cathedral of the Holy Radiance is in the ......
Elham shook his head, and he said lightly, "My teacher is now the Archbishop of the Scepter of the Holy Radiance Cathedral, but he is not the only student of mine. Between me and my rival, I can't be sure whose position he is on, we can't call him for help, we can't even let him know of our coming!''
Torin let out a low sigh, and Ya and Ling's brows furrowed tightly.
Elham let out a long sigh, and he sneered, "There is no way, we can only use the sins in the souls of these sinners to cope with this period of time." Remember, we are here to proclaim the brilliance of God, so we are bound to deal with these sinners. ’’
The white light in his eyes gradually dissipated, and Elham slowly fell to the ground, he squinted and thought for a while, and the leader said: "Ya, Ling, you come with me to visit Titian, the grandson of the Prime Minister of the Huali clan yesterday. Well, since things have come to this point, let's make a breakthrough from him and let him be the first torch of the Gallic Empire with the light of the gods!''
Ya and Ling responded, and they gathered the fire on their bodies and stood up at the same time.
