Chengxi Branch.

At this time, Adelaide and Beecher had been brought back.

Hopkinson and Richards, on the other hand, were discussing something with David about tomorrow.

"In other words, this trial is only for Beecher and Adelaide, and the others are used as witnesses in court, and no criminal punishment is pursued, right?"

Hopkinson looked at David with an inquiring look.

David nodded and replied, "That's right, but the punishment for these two people must be severe enough to deter the officials of the city hall and the other 17 cities!" ”

"Okay, I'll have a good discussion with Judge Yveli......"

"Giggle."

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the office door, and Hopkinson had to pause the conversation for a while and said, "Come in." ”

"Director, Yates, the deputy mayor over there at the city hall, has come over and said he wants to see you."

"Yates?"

Hopkinson was stunned for a moment, then glanced at David, and saw that David had no objection, so he replied: "Then bring him over!" ”

He also wanted to hear what message the city hall was trying to convey at this time.

Five minutes later, a middle-aged man was brought in, and when he saw Hopkinson and Richards, he behaved normally, but when he saw that David was also there, he showed a strange look.

"Hello Commissioner William and Tax Commissioner Richards."

Yates first shook hands with the two of them, and finally came to David's side, and said with a smile: "This must be our famous tax collector in Nevada!" ”

"Hello Deputy Mayor Yates."

[Name: Yates Hernandi.] 】

[Occupation: Deputy Mayor of Sparks.] 】

[Income: $16,500 per month, $25,000 in illegal income.] 】

[Income details: On January 13, he received a merchant's premium tea worth about $25,000......]

[More details: ......]

[Tax payable: $3,750.] 】

"I didn't expect that this is still a clean official ......"

After examining Yates' information through the golden finger, David was also a little surprised in his heart.

You know, the other party is a deputy mayor.

It is very rare to be honest to this extent.

However, incorruptibility is incorruptible, but there is still a handle to grasp.

When the Black Tax Bill was drafted, the team of drafters had already thought about this.

As for accepting bribes, if they are only collected according to money, then those corrupt officials can choose to accept valuable items such as gold and jewelry in order to avoid being targeted by the IRS.

As a result, a clause has been added to the regulations of the Black Tax Act, which states that even if an item is received, it must be taxed according to its market value.

According to the information on the golden finger, although the deputy mayor did not directly accept bribes, he received a box of tea that was worth a lot of money.

Therefore, according to the regulations of the Black Tax Act, although the deputy mayor is still incorruptible, as long as David wants to engage him, he can still do it.

"Okay, since you're all here, then I'll have something to say!"

After some politeness, Yates went straight to the point and said in front of everyone: "I know that the IRS has some opinions on the crackdown on our city hall, but there is no way, this is an order issued by the state government, and we must also follow it, I don't really want to conflict with your IRS, I hope you can understand......"

This made Hopkinson a little unhappy to hear.

In the United States, the state, state, and city are basically not subordinate to each other, and the state only needs to manage the affairs of the country.

And the state only needs to take care of the state's affairs.

The city is simpler, you just need to manage the affairs of the city.

The three systems are not considered to be subordinate to each other.

As long as your town hall doesn't bird the state government, what can they do to you?

To put it bluntly, it's not that I want to be promoted to the state government in the future!

Although he thought so in his heart, Hopkinson couldn't say it too bluntly, so he could only cast a suggestive look at Richards on the side.

Richards also understood, and immediately spoke: "Deputy Mayor Yates, you don't have to follow the instructions of the state government, and your city hall doesn't have to obey them." ”

"That being said, we are a system after all, and I hope you can understand ......"

Yates also felt a little bitter in his heart.

Although they can not listen to the instructions of the state government, if they want to be promoted to the state government in the future, the relationship naturally cannot be too stiff.

And the IRS and they are completely unsystematic, and there is no relationship between promotions, which is why after the state government's instructions are down, most of the city hall officials know that they will offend the IRS, but most of the officials are still willing to comply.

But what they didn't expect was that the IRS's retaliation came so quickly, and they arrested two of their important officials in a resolute manner.

Richards replied dissatisfiedly: "Deputy Mayor Yates, you let us understand you, but who can understand our IRS, do you know how much we will lose in the tax revenue of our black tax bill?" ”

"Don't worry, I'm here to discuss this matter with you, as long as this conflict is resolved, then our city hall can put aside the strike hard instructions, and as compensation, next, our city hall is willing to fully cooperate with your IRS, so that you can collect the black tax revenue significantly!"

Yates' sincere words moved Richards and Hopkinson a little.

Truth be told, everyone is under the same roof of Sparks, and they don't want to get into too much trouble with City Hall.

Plus, keeping Adelaide and Beecher is really worth it than sending them in!

But then again, if they did it by themselves in the Chengxi Branch, then they would naturally take advantage of the situation.

But this matter was handled by David, without David, let alone let the city hall be so soft, it is estimated that people can't even bird their west branch of the city.

Therefore, Hopkinson and Richards can only surrender their eyes to David, implying that he is in charge.

Of course, there are also some meanings of throwing the pot.

If David refuses, then they can tell the city hall in the future, it's not that I don't want to give you the stairs, it's that the tax collector Davy doesn't want to, it's none of our business.

Seeing the eyes of the two, Yates couldn't see anywhere that only David could call the shots in this matter, and then his mood became nervous.

However, David's next words made him feel a little discouraged.

"Deputy Mayor Yates, you should have come early to get it, now that our applications for trial have been submitted, it's too late!"

Just kidding, David just wanted to use this trial as a way to deter the other 17 city councils, how could he stop now.

If it were stopped now, Sparks would have canceled the crackdown, but it didn't make the other 17 cities completely frightened, and they definitely wouldn't have canceled it so easily.

"This ......"

Yates was bitter and speechless in his heart.

The trial is not in another courtroom, but in your own IRS courtroom.

Applying or not applying, canceling or canceling, that's not a matter of your IRS people's words?

Although he knew that it was David who was prevaricating him, he still didn't give up and asked, "Tax Chief David, this matter ...... Isn't there room for manoeuvre, if Adelaide and Beecher are really sent to court, it will be a big blow to the image of our town hall......"

David replied without any emotion: "That's your business, our IRS is only responsible for taxes!" ”

Hearing this, Yates looked dejected.

He has said this, David and Hopkinson have not yet relented, coupled with such a fast trial, he feels that the other party must have sufficient evidence of tax evasion in Beecher and Adelaide.

"Okay, Deputy Mayor Yates, it's not too early, we still have a court tomorrow, it's almost ......"

Seeing that David had no intention of negotiating peace, Hopkinson felt that there was no need to talk nonsense anymore, so he directly issued an eviction order.

There was no way, the frustrated Yates could only shake his head helplessly, and then turned around and pushed the door away.

After Yates left, Hopkinson discussed with David about tomorrow, and finally asked Richards to take David to the arranged overnight accommodation, ready to rest for the night and wait for tomorrow's trial.

This side of the town hall.

Cecil and other officials of the town hall were still in the conference room, patiently waiting for Yates' return.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and when Yates walked in, everyone's hearts were instantly lifted.

But after seeing Yates's helpless and frustrated expression, everyone's hearts instantly fell to the bottom again.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yates spoke: "Can't talk, they don't mean to let go, it seems that Adelaide and Beecher are going to be sent to be convicted!" ”

Everyone had already expected this result through Yates's expression, so they were not too surprised when they heard this, but their faces became more and more gloomy.

After a long time, Cecil gritted his teeth and said, "This damn IRS, does it have to be so desperate?" ”

"To be precise, that's what David is going to do!"

"Oh?"

Everyone present looked at Yates with some doubts.

Yates explained: "I could see just now that Hopkinson, the director of our city west bureau, was a little moved by our city hall's request for peace talks, but David firmly disagreed!" ”

"In that case, the person who made Beecher and Adelaide is really this David, otherwise since Hopkinson is moved, there is no reason not to borrow the donkey from the slope!"

When David was introduced to the previous media conference, everyone had already guessed that this whole thing might have been planned by David, and now it is completely confirmed.

Yates added: "The reason why the state government issued the strike hard directive is that there are rumors outside that it is David who offended the governor, and I think this is the reason why he firmly disagrees with the peace talks......

As soon as they heard this, the officials at the scene complained in their hearts.

It was supposed to be a matter for the governor and the IRS, but now it's good, it's them who are unlucky.

I really answered that sentence.

'Immortals fight, mortals suffer! ’

The atmosphere was silent for a long time, and Cecil looked at a man sitting at the end on his right, and said, "Now, Smollet, I can only rely on you!" ”

When the man named Smollet heard this, he immediately looked bitter.

He is the legal counsel of the town hall and specializes in resolving all legal disputes for the town hall.

But he is confident in ordinary legal disputes, and even more difficult ones can be bearable, but you must know that he is facing the IRS now.

As things stand, the IRS must have very strong evidence.

And it was tried in the IRS's own courtroom, and even if he read all the federal laws thoroughly, he couldn't fight the IRS's own tax laws.

"Don't be discouraged, there is no 100% lawsuit in this world, and the IRS is no exception, as long as you can find their loopholes, then this time it will be enough for them to drink a pot!"

I don't know if Cecil is cheering for Smollett or comforting everyone at the scene.

But Smollet himself had no confidence, because by now, he had no idea what incriminating evidence the IRS had about Beecher and Adelaide.

It's hard to find each other's loopholes!

But the mayor said so, and he could only reply: "I can only say do my best, mayor......"

……

Greater Sierra Leone Resort & Casino Hotel.

This is a 4 star hotel in Sparks City.

In order to thank David for the millions of taxes generated by the Chengxi Branch, the Chengxi Branch also specially took out a sum of official funds to open three luxury suites for the three of them here.

Although there is a big gap between the Deluxe Suite and the Presidential Suite, it also costs as much as $2,000 a night, which is a lot of value.

The hotel's cafeteria.

The three of Davidne Nicen Bucky sat on one and were enjoying dinner of steak, salmon, lobster, etc.

"I'm sorry for the tax commissioner......"

While eating, Neeson suddenly put down his knife and fork and said to David with a guilty face.

David looked up and asked, "Sorry for what?" ”

"It's in full swing right now, and you've been delayed for so long for me to come here......"

Neeson had already seen that David must be trying to impact the god-making plan.

But because he was transferred from above, he had to come to Sparks to do some articles in person to save his career.

And now he had to waste a night here, which made him feel guilty.

David comforted: "Neeson, we are a team, not to mention that the matter of Marcus is something that I led, and I should be responsible for this, there is nothing to be sorry for!" ”

"Yes, Neeson, since everyone is a team, if something goes wrong, let's carry it together, don't take it to heart!"

Bucky on the side also comforted.

Hearing the comfort of the two, Neeson was both moved and speechless, and could only nod heavily.
