After getting into trouble at the Shark Tooth Hotel, Lin Qi walked casually along the street with a frown on his face.
He came to Bureleli with his own plan, but Wood's incident was an unexpected incident, so Lin Qi had to focus most of his energy on these things. Following the clues left by Wood's incident, this
Upon further investigation, not only did they not have any clues, but they also aroused the vigilance of the people behind the scenes.
With a wry smile, Lin Qi laughed at himself that he was still too young. When Aboulin beat Wood that day, his most rational choice was to sit back and watch. Anyway, as long as Aboulin didn't beat Wood to death on the spot, Lin Qi would have been able to kill them.
Rescued.
But from the position of the leader of the Iron Fist Brotherhood, how could Lin Qi sit back and watch such a thing happen?
So everything happened naturally. Lin Qi sighed helplessly and stretched hard.
"Okay, no matter who you are, no matter what you want to do! I just do my thing! Sooner or later, I will run into you!"
With a weird smile, Lin Qi put aside the depression in his heart since yesterday and happily slipped into a small alley. When Lin Qi walked out again after a while, he had returned to the appearance of the wine merchant Mr. Wan En.
He wore a neat dark-patterned silk tights and a robe made of silver silk satin. He held an old oak cane inlaid with a ruby tip and walked quickly on the street with pride.
When Lin Qi walked near the Victory Palace, Hua Li's carriage came out of the Victory Palace.
Lin Qi was on the other side of the road. Hua Li only saw the energetic Yu Lian through the car window, but could not see Lin Qi. Lin Qi did not notice Hua Li's carriage, but turned his attention to it.
All the efforts were placed on Yu Lian, who was wearing the uniform of a tax commissioner and holding an eagle-headed cane that represented the imperial tax officer.
"This guy, the tax collector?" Lin Qi looked at Yu Lian in surprise and surprise.
When he was still hanging out at the Fifth University, Yu Lian said that he wanted to be a tax officer in the future, because the tax officer is the easiest position to get in among all the administrative departments in Bureilly. Moreover, tax officers often come and go from businessmen.
Mansion. Discuss monthly or quarterly and annual business tax amounts with them. You can often see the wives or daughters of those businessmen!
For an ambitious young man who has unique interests in money and women, what a fascinating position this is!
Now Yu Lian's dream has indeed come true, and looking at the silver thread inlaid in the tricorn hat he is wearing, this guy is considered a middle-level boss in the tax bureau, right? Ordinary tax collectors wear tricorn hats, and the brim has no inlaid lines;
The triangular hat worn by ordinary tax officials is inlaid with a simple pattern with copper wire; while Yu Lian's triangular hat is inlaid with a row of exquisite lemon flower patterns with silver wire. This represents his taxation
The identity of the commissioner.
In ancient times, some people once said that tax officials were like juicers, capable of squeezing out abundant juice from shriveled lemons! So during the Renaissance period, the pattern of lemon blossoms became a symbol of all tax officials.
"This guy has a blush on his face!" Lin Qi looked at Yu Lian strangely. From Yu Lian's face, he could see that this kid must have done nothing good last night.
Smiling, Lin Qi followed Yu Lian leisurely, walking with him from the front of the Victory Palace, all the way to the dock area where Lin Qi had just left. Yu Lian took long steps and looked straight.
He arrived at the door of a hotel on Mackerel Street in the dock area, kicked open the door of the small hotel with a brutal kick, and then walked in with his head held high.
Knocking on the long cabinet in the hotel lobby majestically with a copper eagle-headed staff, Yu Lian shouted loudly: "In the sacred name of imperial finance and taxation, you still owe seventeen gold coins, fifteen silver coins and two
Thirteen coppers, because you have been in arrears in taxes for half a month, and the fine is twenty gold coins. Please pay the full amount of taxes as soon as possible, otherwise the police department will come to your door tomorrow."
The hotel owner looked at Yu Lian in horror. He shouted: "Twenty gold coins fine? Master Yu Lian, are you kidding me?"
Yu Lian raised an eyebrow and turned around to leave. He sneered, "Then just think I'm joking!"
The rich and powerful hotel owner hurriedly grabbed Yu Lian. He handed the three gold coins into Yu Lian's hands with a smile. Yu Lian smiled with satisfaction and said majestically: "The imperial taxation is sacred and inviolable. I have carefully checked your
For this month's business records, it is enough for you to pay the business tax of twelve gold coins."
Lin Qi stood across the street, relying on his abnormal hearing to hear everything in the hotel clearly.
Damn Yu Lian, is this how he collects taxes? But this is normal. The tax commissioners of the tax bureau have enough power to set the amount of taxes that should be paid to these small shops. As long as Yu Lian is given
Lotus has certain advantages, these stores can take advantage of it to some extent.
Following Yu Lian closely, he watched Yu Lian spend three hours sweeping across eighty-five pubs, bars, hotels, hotels, cargo yards, etc. in Qitiao Street in the dock area.
The private income is a full three hundred and seventy gold coins.
Yu Lian hummed a happy tune, called a two-wheeled carriage, and asked the carriage driver to take him to the busiest street in the business district. When he got off, Yu Lian just threw two copper coins into the carriage.
, but according to the normal fare, traveling from the dock area to the business district, which spans almost the entire city of Berelli, requires at least three silver coins for transportation!
But the coachman did not dare to show any dissatisfaction, but thanked Lord Yu Lian for his generosity and mercy with a smile on his face.
Lin Qi slapped his forehead hard. This Yu Lian was completely depraved.
Following Yu Lian, she watched him walk into a bank. In a short time, Yu Lian exchanged the gold coins on his body for three gold tickets with a denomination of one hundred gold coins and one gold ticket with a denomination of fifty. Then he
He carefully hid the gold ticket and the remaining twenty gold coins in his belt.
And the taxes he collected today were replaced by a thick stack of gold tickets, which he carefully put into a cowhide wallet.
"The harvest is rich! It seems that by next month, I will be able to send another amount of money to Enzo and the others! These damn bastards, they must not come back to see me with less arms and legs. Do they want me?
To support them in their old age?"
Yu Lian murmured in a low voice, and then he suddenly smiled happily: "Of course, if one of their legs is chopped off, then I will be happy to comfort them, what poor boys.
ah!"
The corners of Lin Qi's mouth twitched. He was less than ten meters away from Yu Lian. How could Yu Lian's soft whispers be hidden from his ears? This damn guy, his mouth, still deserves a beating as always.
Ah! But what Yu Lian said made Lin Qi's heart warm. He remembered what Alda had said to him. It was because of Yu Lian's uninterrupted support that Enzo and the others managed to survive in the army.
Although Yu Lian is a little flashy and a bit of a bastard, he is still his brother.
Tossing a copper in his hand, Yu Lian held her head high and walked into a restaurant in the business district that matched his identity very well - the so-called "matching his identity" meant that this was not the kind of place where a glass of wine was enough.
Selling Gold's Nest, which costs thousands of gold coins, is not the kind of small restaurant where a full meal only costs a dozen copper coins, but a warm, clean, good-tasting, and generous restaurant suitable for middle-level officials.
.
Sitting upright on the window seat facing the street, Yu Lian solemnly ordered an aperitif, a fresh fruit and vegetable salad, a small piece of smoked foie gras as a starter, and then ordered a huge pan-fried dish for his main meal.
Lamb chops, and ordered a portion of this restaurant's signature soup. With a few slices of freshly baked white bread, this meal was worthy of Yu Lian's status, not luxurious but not losing face, and it only cost RMB 5 in total.
A silver coin, very cost-effective.
Sitting upright in her seat, enjoying her meal slowly, Lin Qi was already carrying a bottle of top-quality wine and sat heavily on the seat opposite Yu Lian.
Yu Lian rolled her eyes and scolded Lin Qi coldly: "This is my seat. While Uncle Yu Lian is enjoying the food, if you don't want to get beaten, get out of here! If you want to discuss business with me,
Then I have to wait until I finish eating!"
Lin Qi said nothing and just placed the bottle of wine in front of Yu Lian.
This is the most outstanding batch of wine from the Gallic Empire fifty years ago, when the Hundred Years War was still going on. Because of the Hundred Years War, less than 200 barrels of this excellent quality wine have been preserved.
, after fifty years of consumption, probably less than a hundred bottles are still handed down today.
Once upon a time, a dandy from Borelli secretly offered half a million gold coins for a bottle of this wine, but there was no market for it at all!
The bottle in Lin Qi's hand was taken by Alda from Mrs. Lu Fen's mansion and then confiscated by Lin Qi.
"Fanlin Villa!" Yu Lian looked at this bottle of top-quality wine that was several times more expensive than his entire net worth, and said in surprise: "Okay, I admit, I was defeated by you! Put this bottle of wine
Tell me, how much tax do you want to be exempted from? Complete tax exemption is impossible, but I can only charge you 10% of the commercial tax on your goods!"
Lin Qi smiled and flicked the bottle. A soft force pushed the cork out of the bottle, and a fragrant aroma of wine suddenly floated out.
"Yulian, my brother, how have you been doing these years?" Lin Qi looked at Yu Lian deeply, while taking out a crystal decanter and pouring the bottle of fine wine into the decanter.
Yu Lian stared at Lin Qi, the silver-haired and silver-eyed Lin Qi. Yu Lian did not remember knowing such an old man.
"Brother? You must have recognized the wrong person!" Yu Lian's hand was under the table, secretly holding the dagger in the boot tube.
"Ah, how could I have recognized the wrong person? Dear Yu Lian, the dancer you hooked up with our dear Mr. Grand back then, you said that her legs were very charming, and on her left breast, there was a charming
Red mole!" Lin Qi looked at Yu Lian with a smile.
Yu Lian was stunned, and then he grabbed Lin Qi's hand, and his eyes suddenly turned red. {Piaotian Literature www.ptwxz.com thanks all book friends for your support, your support is our greatest motivation}
