In the kingdom of thunder, ordinary people without the eyes of God raised such a wind field and came to the atmosphere of their hometown...

After being bullied, people who travel far away often have stronger feelings for the motherland, and they also have a higher respect for the gods who once sheltered them, and they will often miss them in their minds.

In this way, he subconsciously shouted: "Fengshen... You are Lord Barbatos..."

Summer nodded.

Although the name taboo is wrong, Barbatos and other names are just "code names", and the main body of people's beliefs is the **** who "protects the Mondren".

I have never seen a god, but even if I can't believe it, I will deceive myself into believing it. Werner's grievances hidden in his heart can no longer be controlled, and he wants to find someone to talk to.

He smelled the scent of dandelions in the wind, and the arrogance just now disappeared, and the sadness that he missed very much: "Hometown... ah, I really want to go back... a free city-state... Lord Fengshen, are you here to take me back?"

His identity has been locked up by the investigation and enforcement, and he can't get past the barrier of getting on the boat at all... Not long ago, a girl made a raft and broke through a thunderstorm alone. He really wanted to run with him, but he was too timid in the end.

The wind **** is not kind, but a very harsh veto: "You have turned away from those who have helped you, you have abandoned those who are struggling in suffering... Such you, even the soul after death can't be brought back by the wind!"

Twat is not a materialist world, and he treats faith like a religious fanatic. To say that even the soul after death cannot be accepted by Mond is equivalent to the often said that there is no transcendence in eternity.

"No, I... I have no choice but to, and I don't want that either."

Werner was sweating profusely in panic, but he had no way of defending...

Initially, it was indeed he who chose to give up on his own initiative.

Those businessmen are too strong, a group of people who were helpless united and tried to survive... But he didn't dare, he didn't have the courage to fight against power.

Every time I meet someone from the Chamber of Commerce, I only dare to hide my face and leave secretly, or they simply hide their guilt by being domineering...

Over time, he lost his enthusiasm for becoming a businessman, and completely became a tool for making money.

No more coercion.

In order to prevent the weak legs from kneeling down, Werner supported the tree trunk beside him and repented: "I, I... I am too weak, they gave me a little promise, a little favor, I just... I just... Willing to do anything for those guys, I've lost all face of my hometown..."

To cure the symptoms but not the root cause, what Xia Xia wanted was to completely solve the absurdity of "using crystallized bone marrow as tax money". First of all, he had to find the key person behind the scenes.

Putting away the wind field, he hurriedly asked, "Who are the "those guys" you're talking about? "

"I..." Werner hesitated, apparently still a little scared.

Xia Xia assured: "I am here in the name of Fengshen, and I will protect the people of Mond. You can rest assured... Even if you can't solve it temporarily, it will not make your situation difficult."

In Tivat, no one dares to use the name of the gods to make guarantees.

"Okay!" Werner didn't hesitate any more, and took out the tray: "It's Ashaka-Keijiro, who is in charge of tax collection, the devil!"

"They told the merchants that the tax rate itself was raised, and the extra "crystallized marrow" to replace the tax was hoarded, and when the merchants had nowhere to collect, they asked me to sell it back at a high price. merchant. "

The more he said it, the more abhorrent it became. Werner also detested this kind of behavior: "Although I have been their puppet, the part that was given to me is only a drop in the bucket, and it is only enough to barely maintain a living."

Chen Ken pleaded, "I also don't want to embarrass the friends of the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce like this. Please, Lord Fengshen, punish them!"

The facts he said were similar to what Xia Xia thought. They were all determined to pursue private projects and increase taxes without authorization... It also shows that the lower part of Inawife is rotten, but the upper class seems to be saved?

But the problem came again.

As a key area for the management of foreign personnel, the tax revenue of "outlying islands" should be the most important to the country. Is there no place to supervise such reckless actions? Could it be that the battle with the rebels has occupied all of Raiden's daily routines?

In short, Summer's impression of General Raiden is getting worse and worse...

I even thought about joining the resistance army altogether. It is my duty to overthrow the tyranny of Thor. Anyway, Fengshen is a role model, and Thor is a role model. It doesn't matter if there is one more title... It's just a wild idea.

Focusing on the moment, Xia Xia said, "Even a **** can't punish for no reason. I need evidence."

"Also, if there is no conclusive evidence, he will not admit it."

Werner lowered his head and meditated: "Evidence...evidence..."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Speaking of which, every time he finishes docking with me, he will go to a place. I have suspected it for a long time... Maybe it is a place to hoard goods? Maybe there will be something like an account book."

Xia Xia also remembered the shogunate who left before he came over: "The one who just separated from you..."

Werner nodded again and again: "Well, it was him just now! It was Keijiro! We can follow and see where his wife is going!"

So, no longer waiting, taking advantage of the dark cover, the two quickly followed.

Xia Xian was a little worried: "He has been away for a while, will he not be able to keep up?"

"No, every time he collects money, he will go to "Liangzi" to sit first. "Werner's footsteps are firm, and since he has decided to help find evidence and complete redemption, he is more active than anyone else.

When I first arrived in the summer, I was very unfamiliar with any name: "Ryoko?"

While walking, Werner introduced: "It's a stall owner selling specialty snacks, just over the port..."

The tone of voice is very regretful: "I am also a hard worker. My husband is in poor health and left at a young age. Now she is alone supporting the food stall... Keijiro takes good care of her, and the reason is well known."

Actually, there is still such a story, Xia Xia really wanted to meet the widow who made Keijiro's heart.

When I went to the food stall, Keijiro was really there.

It seemed that he was in a hurry. He didn't finish the food he ordered, so he left a large amount of Mora, at least four or five times more.

And the proprietress only accepted the portion that met the price of the snack, and refunded the rest.

It was like this every time, Keijiro didn't say anything, just chatted and asked, "Ryoko, how's business going recently?"

Ryoko was tidying up the table, very gentle: "Thanks to you, come and sit when you have time."

Keijiro was very happy, and he couldn't stop laughing: "Okay, I just made a lot of money recently..."

Ryoko's eyes dimmed when he heard this: "Really? You have been working hard to collect taxes recently, so you don't have to be so busy."

She knew that this Keijiro had a bad reputation and was scolded behind his back, and even many people persuaded Ryoko to stop paying attention to him.

But Ryoko also has her own difficulties.

Keijiro and his deceased husband were friends. The husband was not in good health and could not work to earn money. It was also Keijiro who funded this food stall, and there was no trouble with medical expenses...

After the death of her husband, Keijiro also treated himself well, and he never made any oversteps... If he wanted to say that he would no longer communicate, he really couldn't bear his heart.

In this way, after a long time, she will inevitably be scolded along with her.

If you don't refute it, you deserve it.

Ryoko sent Keijiro away, and when she saw the two guests, she hurriedly stepped forward to entertain them: "You two, do you want something to eat?"

Although there are some vicissitudes of life wrinkles on her face, her skin is fair, her facial features are straight, her hair is neat and generous, and her figure is still charming. She is really a pretty widow, and anyone who sees it will be moved.

In summer, I was hungry, and I was drooling from the smell of the snacks, but I didn't dare to delay for another half a minute.

He asked directly, "Where's Keijiro? I'm a businessman from another place. I'm looking for him. Where did he go?"

Usually, there are very few businessmen who take the initiative to find Kejiro. Ryoko finds it strange, but still points to the coast on the other side enthusiastically: "He...he went there."

"Thanks!"

Going forward in the direction indicated, I finally found Keijiro's figure. Seeing that he was burying something in the sand on the ground, he muttered to himself: "Huh! Those people from the merchants of Wanguo, the delivery is getting more and more lately. The slower it gets, the more you have to hit and hit!"

Probably because he was going to find trouble with the Ten Thousand Nations Chamber of Commerce, and he left aggressively.

When he was far away, Werner was in charge of watching the wind. In summer, he quickly digged a pit and dug a booklet out of the sand.

"Let me see, here is..."

Werner flipped through a few pages, and said with certainty, "Yes, that's it. I remember each one clearly, and every one is evidence of his crime!"

"Okay! It just so happens that he is also going to the Ten Thousand Nations Chamber of Commerce. Let's go back and hand it over to President Jiurisu and let them confront each other!"

When he went to the beach in summer to wash his hands covered in mud and sand, Werner handed back the ledger: "Well, then I won't send you, I'll go back first."

"Huh? Aren't you going with me? If you help me like this, I believe that the people in the World Chamber of Commerce will thank you..." Xia Xia also understood his difficulties, and said thoughtfully: "If you are worried about being noticed by Keijiro, you can stay at a distance first. wait and see..."

Werner shook his head, he was more ashamed of his former business partner than his fear of Keijiro.

"If you want to meet the president, I... I need a little more time, sorry."

Not reluctantly.

In the summer, before Keijiro teaches the Ten Thousand Nations Chamber of Commerce, he will go back with the ledger.

Chapter 652: The decadent man-made world

"There's really no more. If we continue to sell goods like this, we will only lose money, and we can only wait to starve to death..."

"A decree is a decree, and a rule is a rule. The goods that should be paid cannot be less than the penny. Where can there be so many excuses?"

Going to the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Chamber of Commerce, Keijiro was indeed forcing the merchants to hand over the taxes of the past few days.

Not all the merchants were the weaklings who were compromising. Many younger merchants took advantage of the crowd to have a heated argument with Keijiro, but because of the threat of force and the so-called regulations, they did not dare to be too rude.

Xia Xia went to the crowd, handed the ledger to President Kurisu from behind, and whispered in his ear, "This is the ledger kept privately by Keijiro, which records the money earned by resale of goods, how much of it is turned over to the national treasury, how much is Retaining and dividing up... there are details."

The burnt-out Jiulisu seemed to be bathed in divine light, and finally saw hope, and immediately opened the ledger.

He quickly swiped a brush of numbers and combined additions and subtractions in his mind... It was indeed able to match the Chamber of Commerce's own statistics in the past few days.

He didn't make a statement immediately, thinking about how to use these accounts to get the best results, and how to persuade those businessmen who were forced to go bankrupt by high taxes not to get too excited after learning the truth of the accounts.

I didn't pay attention. Harrison, who was beside him, also saw the accounts. He was one of the representatives who was about to be driven crazy by the tax. He couldn't bear it and broke out.

"What? What's the matter? We were calculated!"

Harrison grabbed the ledger and rushed in front of Keijiro, shouting loudly: "We have got your ledger! It clearly records that you have hidden the goods and sold them to make money... It turns out that the tax rate is getting higher and higher. It's you who did it!"

The account books were circulated in turn, which made the merchants angry enough. In the end, Jiuli was still holding the account book in his arms, fearing that it would be robbed, and that the matter would further escalate.

But the riots of the merchants could no longer be stopped, and they all gathered around and pointed at Keijiro to ask for an explanation.

Just by looking at the cover of the protection account book, you know that it is indeed your own...

The content recorded there is not only the actions of a small character like Keijiro, but also a more important big man!

If this is exposed... Keijiro panicked for a while: "This... tax thing... I, I..."

He hesitated, unable to give an explanation.

In order to prevent the trouble, Jiurisu immediately stood up and signaled the merchants not to get too excited and let him negotiate.

"This account matches every tax payment before the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Keijiro, there must be no explanation for this. How should we solve this matter..."

Businessmen must fully consider their interests. If they completely pierce the matter and let the big men with the signatures on the account book end, I am afraid that they will not be able to practice business in the future!

Isn't it worth the loss?

Kyurisu's peace made Keijiro wake up from his panic. He also knew the truth, and everyone didn't want to make things ugly.

The president of the chamber of commerce does not dare to name the name of the person with the big head!

Keijiro instantly regained his confidence and defended: "Hmph, don't, don't really think that this has caught me, I'm just seeking a little profit..."

Jiurisu is also smart, in other words: "I heard that the samurai warriors valued reputation and fame, even if the people in the palace won't blame you, if you spread it out..."

Where does Keijiro have any reputation? The point of his words is the content of "even". If things get serious, no matter whether these businessmen will end well or not, he will definitely not end well anyway. deal!

Relying on his relationship with his superiors, Keijiro has been intimidating for several years. Naturally, he is not a fool. He lowered his voice and said in Jiurisu's ear: "I heard it, you are threatening me!"

He tried to reach out to grab the ledger, but was unsuccessful.

Jiurisu carried the ledger behind his back and complimented, "No, no, I just think it's a pity for a gentleman like you to have any stains..."

"Humph!" Keijiro looked arrogant, but his mouth was soft: "...Then, take it as your reasoning! How do you want to deal with it?"

The negotiation went well, Jiu Lisu smiled slightly and made a request: "The account book says that you should still have a batch of "Crystalline Bone Marrow" in your hand, right? Let those goods be used to offset the recent tax, and give us small traders some breathing time! "

Very smart approach.

If the requirements are too harsh, it will anger the big man above, but it is limited to Keijiro's authority, and there are not many things that can be done. This is the maximum benefit, and it does not tear the face. I believe that Keijiro will be properly restrained in the future. Some.

"Hmph, I've worked so hard to carry those goods and tried my best to hide them..."

Keijiro kept chattering and seemed unwilling in every possible way, but in the end he nodded: "Okay, okay, give you a face, I'll give you away for nothing."

Taking the overall situation into consideration, both of them are satisfied, but those businessmen who are oppressed and bankrupt cannot accept it.

The young businessman was jealous of evil, full of righteous indignation, and was still shouting: "How can it be like this! My shop has been closed for many days, and it is all dependent on friends to help, so these losses will be ignored!"

In this way, a circle of people surrounded Keijiro again and prevented him from leaving.

While Keijiro was embarrassed, the anger on his face became heavier and heavier, and he reached out to touch the handle of the knife.

Xia Xia has been watching from the outside of the crowd, noticing that something is wrong.

But seeing that President Jiurisu was still trying his best to appease everyone's emotions: "This is already very good, don't say it anymore... If things get bigger, it will be troublesome!"
