Chapter 143: You still have to go down, right?
"Alright, this trial is over!"
Evely did not give Smollet another chance to defend himself, and directly declared the trial over.
On the side of the auditorium, Yates turned to the two police chiefs in the east and west of the city and shouted angrily: "You two bastards, get out of here!" ”
At this time, the other officials of the city hall also looked at the two with fierce faces.
Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, they can only take their anger out on the two of them, intending to vent their anger.
Surprisingly, though, Randolph and Lancelot came over as instructed, but they looked fearless.
"You two bastards who eat inside and out, hand in a resignation to our city hall immediately!"
As soon as Yates's words came out, the rest of the city hall officials did not mean to object, and they were obviously on his side.
Randolph said unhurriedly: "Deputy Mayor Yates, there is no way for us to cooperate with the IRS, because if we don't cooperate, then we will be standing in the dock now, and I hope the city hall can understand......
"Deputy Mayor Yates, gentlemen at City Hall, Director Randolph's words are what I want to say, but I have to remind you that we have just finished working with the IRS, what will the IRS think, and what will Tax Commissioner David think if we submit our resignation to you?"
Lancelot added.
The reason why they are so fearless is mainly because they have the IRS relationship to rely on, and with the examples of Beecher and Adelaide here, I believe these people will definitely not dare to do anything to them.
Otherwise, who else will dare to testify for the IRS in the future?
And if they are rectified, it will be equivalent to slapping the IRS in the face in public!
Sure enough, after hearing these words, Yates and other city hall officials suddenly reacted.
Oh, yes.
It's easy to clean up Randolph and Lancelot, but they have just cooperated with the IRS, and now if they retaliate immediately, wouldn't it be clear that they will not give the IRS a situation?
Before everyone could say anything more, Cecil turned away first.
And Yates and the others had no choice but to glare at Randolph fiercely, and then left.
……
"Tax Chief David!"
Here, David was walking out of the door of the courtroom with Hopkinson, Richards and others to take the elevator down, when they suddenly heard a shout from behind.
When I turned my head, it was a man with thick eyebrows and a high nose.
Through Goldfinger's scrutiny, David instantly became aware of his identity, and it turned out to be the director of the Chengdong Branch of the Internal Revenue Bureau.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm the director of the Chengdong Branch, just call me Mendes!"
Mendez walked over and held out his right hand.
"Hello Director Mendez."
David also reached out and shook his hand.
"Tax Chief David, this case is handled beautifully, I don't know what to do next...... Is there anything you need help from our Seongdong Branch? We're here to help! ”
This time, the two officials Adelaide and Beecher were sent to prison, which not only made the West Branch of the city gain huge prestige, but also an important point, that is, a huge amount of taxes.
The taxes of the two people added up to more than 700,000 yuan, and yesterday the Chengxi Branch Bureau recorded more than 300,000 yuan, and you don't have to think about it to know that David must have played an important role in it.
All of that adds up, that's millions in taxes.
With such a huge amount of taxes, Mendez must be false when he says he is not envious.
On the contrary, his heart is sour now, and he is not looking for Davy to find them in the east of the city; Instead, he found the Chengxi Branch and beat his chest.
As for his current remarks, he is actually hinting at David.
That's what the Chengxi Branch can do for you, then our Chengdong Branch will definitely be able to, as long as we can get such a tax!
"I'm not talking about Director Mendes, what do you mean, if Tax Chief David needs your Chengdong Branch to do it, he will naturally look for you!"
Before David could reply, Hopkinson and Richards on the side were in a hurry.
First of all, the east and west branches of the city are originally in a competitive relationship.
Secondly, as Mendes thought, with the help of David, their West Branch now not only received a huge amount of taxes, but also a huge reputation, which can be described as making a lot of money.
They also expect that in the future, David can continue to take their Chengxi Branch to fly, and now your Chengdong Branch is good, and you want to come to your face to rob people?
"Don't worry, Director Hopkinson, I'm here to see if there is anything I can do with Tax Chief David, after all, it's all for the sake of our IRS's taxes."
Mendes wasn't in a hurry, because he knew there was no need to argue with Hopkinson about anything, mainly depending on David's statement.
"Director Mendez, who has a chance, let's take a look at the next follow-up."
This time it was David's turn to speak first.
Hearing this, Mendez's expression immediately moved, and Hopkinson and Richards showed a trace of anxiety.
"Commissioner Hopkinson, Tax Commissioner Richards, let's go out first and inform the media about this matter!"
"yes, let's go!"
Hopkinson was also afraid that if David and Mendes would continue to talk, David would be 'abducted' by the other party, so he immediately walked into the elevator with Davy.
At the entrance of the first floor, media reporters and citizens who were watching Sparks were still anxiously waiting for the results of the trial to be announced.
At this time, a sharp-eyed reporter in the field seemed to have discovered something and shouted: "The trial is over, they are out!" ”
When the words fell, the reporters from all walks of life, who were still lazy, immediately picked up the microphone, and the cameramen also pointed their cameras in the direction of the door.
After a while, David and Hopkinson Richards and others walked out.
"Director Hopkinson, is the trial over?"
"Director Hopkinson, what is the outcome of the trial, Director Adelaide and Deputy Mayor Beecher have been successfully convicted?"
"David Tax Collector ......"
In the face of a lot of media gossip questions, Hopkinson made a move to press down with both hands.
After everyone quieted down, he said: "The trial has ended, and after the trial, Adelaide and Beecher were convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to 1,200 years in prison!" ”
"1200 Years !!"
The media and the citizens who watched were shocked enough to hear that the charges were convicted.
But when they heard the latter sentence and were sentenced to 1,200 years in prison, their jaws dropped even more.
Everyone knows that the IRS has always been known for its severe penalties for tax evasion, but this time I really didn't expect it to be so severe, and he was directly sentenced to 1200 years.
"Director Hopkinson, Beecher and Adelaide are just evading taxes, will such a severe punishment be too harsh?"
A reporter who reacted from the shock immediately asked.
Hopkinson replied with a serious face: "Beecher and Adelaide, as highly educated public officials, actually chose to conceal the amount of tax returns when they knew the regulations of the Black Tax Act, and the amount was extremely huge, so this punishment is not harsh at all!" ”
The reporter asked, "Director Hopkinson, since the two officials Beecher and Adelaide have confirmed tax evasion, what about the other officials of the city hall...... Could it be the same? Will your IRS continue to pursue it? ”
"That's a good question, but I think it's better for Tax Commissioner David to answer it for you!"
Hopkinson's words fell, and the cameras and microphones on the scene were all transferred to David.
David organized his language a little and said: "We, the IRS, have always had zero tolerance for tax evaders, especially public officials who know the law and break the law, Adelaide and Beecher are just the beginning, and we will investigate this next......"
At the same time, the town hall, in the conference room.
Cecil and the other city hall officials had all returned to the area, watching the interview with David on television.
When they heard that Adelaide and Beecher were just the beginning and would continue to investigate, a trace of fear flashed on the faces of many officials present.
David and the IRS were able to get evidence of tax evasion by Beecher Adelaide, and even sent them in, so if they want to get them, no one dares to guarantee that they will be safe.
You know, Beecher Adelaide and the two were sentenced to 1,200 years!
And it's a lifetime without parole!
In this life, I can only confess to prison.
Who can not be afraid of this?
"Mayor, I think it's better to cancel the directive to strike hard immediately, there is no need to go on so hard!"
At this time, an official present suggested.
"Yes, mayor, we won't be promoted to the state government in the big deal, but it's better than being put in prison!"
"I agree with ......"
“……”
Along with the official's voice, the other officials present also echoed their words.
As long as they admit it, it is estimated that the matter will be resolved.
After all, David's precinct wasn't here, and he probably didn't have that much energy to clean them up one by one.
And now only Beecher and Adelaide are rectified, and they just want to kill chickens and monkeys to show them.
Cecil's face tossed and turned for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "That's all I can do!" ”
……
City of Carson, the Governor's official residence.
At this time, Stevenson looked at the interview report on the TV screen, and his face was extremely blue.
And Eugene, who was standing on the side, looked no better.
They knew that the IRS would dare to arrest Beecher and Adelaide, and they must have a lot of certainty.
But the IRS cleanly convicted these two people, and even adopted such a severe punishment of 1,200 years.
This made the two feel that they had been slapped hard in the face.
After a long while, Eugene spoke: "Governor, this David is obviously killing chickens and monkeys, those officials in Sparks City will definitely admit it, and the other 17 cities, I guess they are also like frightened birds now." ”
Stevenson gritted his teeth and said: "Call the 17 City City Hall to appease them, and tell them not to panic and stabilize their positions, I don't believe that damn David, you can really do whoever you want!" ”
"Understood!"
……
Henderson City, which is the second largest city in Nevada after Las Vegas.
At this time, an emergency meeting was also being held in the city's city hall.
"I'm sure everyone here has received the news of the 'big earthquake' in Sparks City, what do you think?"
Priestley, the mayor of Henderson, looked at the people present with a solemn face.
"1200 years...... The IRS's revenge is menacing! ”
"This is obviously revenge for our implementation of the state government's instructions to strike hard, and it is estimated that it is also an example to us!"
"It's true, but I have to say that this David is a bit capable, he went to Sparks without making a sound, and got a deputy mayor and a police chief in......"
There was a lot of discussion among the people present.
At this time, Priestley interrupted: "The question now is, are we going to continue to enforce the state bureau's crackdown instructions, and if so, will this David come to Henderson City and take revenge on us?" ”
"It's hard to say......"
"Although he got rid of two officials in Sparks City, as long as all of us here are clean, there is no need to worry so much, right?"
"Clean hands and feet are sometimes not necessarily safe, paying taxes and paying taxes, not to mention the black tax bill, but there are always negligence, as long as they sincerely want to get us, there will always be a handle for them to catch......"
“……”
The crowd was polarized, some were worried about this, and some people didn't care too much, thinking that no matter how powerful David was, he was just a human being, not a god, how could he grab them if he wanted to.
And just then, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and Priestley's secretary walked in and handed over a phone call: "Mr. Mayor, Mr. Eugene, Secretary to the Governor, is calling. ”
Priestley immediately picked it up, and after seven or eight minutes, he seemed to have received some promise, and immediately said resolutely to everyone present: "Regardless of what happened to Sparks, our instructions here to strike hard remain unchanged!" ”
Hearing this, some of the worried factions present frowned, but now that the supreme governor of the city hall had already made up his mind, it was difficult for them to continue to refute it.
Except for the city of Henderson.
At the same time, the city halls of 17 cities in Nevada are also talking about the earthquake in Sparks.
But among them, officials such as the Las Vegas City Hall Saloyan felt extremely lucky.
Fortunately, they did not choose to carry out the state government's crackdown instructions like 18 cities, otherwise, they would have been the first to die.
After all, after David crossed the city to Sparks, he was able to cleanly cause such an officialdom earthquake.
If you really want to mess with these local Las Vegas city hall officials, it is probably even easier!
But it's different from Las Vegas.
In the other 16 cities, many officials in the city hall were also shocked by this incident.
However, after receiving a call from the state government, comforting him and promising various benefits, he chose to continue to carry out the instructions of the strike hard.
Because they really don't believe that David is really so powerful that he can get their heads!
City of Sparks.
"Okay, Tax Collector David, you've made a big splash in Sparks with a quiet sound, and you're sure to keep a lot of people awake right now."
"That's what they want, otherwise, how could they cancel the strike-hard directive."
"Okay, then you just watch the toss, don't worry about the bureau, anyway, there are so many days before the end of the assessment period."
"Understood, Director."
David had returned to the West Branch and briefed William about the incident.
After he put down the phone, Richards came over and said, "I just received the news that the city hall has canceled the crackdown instructions, and our black tax collection work can continue as usual!" ”
To be honest, he was a little sorry that the town hall had come to terms so quickly.
He also fantasized that David would continue to take action, clean up a few more officials, and make more tax achievements for their Chengxi Branch.
But now it's a bubble.
"That's good......"
David wasn't too surprised, if the 1200 years of harsh punishment didn't deter those people in the city hall, then their courage was probably done with a water tank.
Richards asked again, "And ...... next?" ”
David replied, "Investigate the situation in 17 cities for me and see how their town halls react!" ”
"No problem!"
An hour later.
Richards came to Davy again and said: "We have investigated, the incident in Beecher and Adelaide, and the other 17 cities have received the news, and many officials in their town halls, and many people have indeed been shocked, but the result is that none of the 17 cities has any intention of canceling the strike hard directive." ”
"Oh?"
David was slightly surprised.
Isn't the fate of Beecher and Adelaide, and the harsh punishment of 1,200 years enough to deter the town halls of the other 17 cities?
It seems that these people are still holding on to the luck mentality, thinking that they will not be able to get on the heads of these people!
In that case, don't blame him for continuing to 'kill'!
Seeing that David's eyes gradually showed a fierce light, Richards also asked softly: "Tax Chief David, is there anything we need to do next?" ”
"No, I'm going to go to Henderson City next door!"
As soon as he heard this, Richards was instantly disappointed, since David was going to Henderson City, there was nothing to do with their West Branch.
But soon, Richards seemed to think of something, and immediately asked, "Tax Chief David, since you're going to Henderson City, do you have any acquaintances at the IRS over there?" ”
"Not yet."
Richards came to his senses and replied, "If not, I'll recommend you a tax collector, who has been an old friend of mine for many years, and is absolutely safe and reliable, and you should be able to use it over there!" ”
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
David didn't refuse, although he had a big killer like the golden finger, but after all, it was someone's territory, and he had to have the assistance of the local IRS to complete a series of things.
