Chapter 353 You have been deceived

Zheng Lin was not in a hurry to leave, he had paid the entry fee for three days, it was still early, and he finally met a fellow villager, so he had to have a good talk.It took a full day for this business to be settled, and those immortals bought almost all the valuable immortal artifacts in the shop.

To Zheng Lin's surprise, after the guests had left, Xia Lei took out a bunch of fairy artifacts from the storage ring, just like treating garbage, and threw them on the shelf at will, but the shelf was full. But there are still bursts of smoke and dust, obviously it has not been cleaned for a long time.

This transaction, Zheng Lin watched the whole process, and found that the total of Xia Lei's harvested fairy stones was 100 yuan of top-quality fairy stones, which was converted into a piece of fairy crystal.Of course, the business of Xia Lei's shop is quite good today.

Xia Lei said nonchalantly: "I heard from the old man that the business of this shop was booming before, and the income of Xianshi was even comparable to Tianji Pavilion in the same city. But since the old man left, the business of this shop has become better and better since I took charge of it. It's getting worse and worse, and I'm too lazy to take care of it."

Just as Zheng Lin was going to ask why, a person walked in from outside the door. The person was wearing a standard battle armor like a city guard, and he looked domineering.

After the person came in, he asked in a calm tone, "Who is the shopkeeper? Your store is about to expire, so hurry up and renew."

It turned out that this was an official from the City Lord's Mansion, and he was here to collect rent.All houses in Immortal World City belong to the City Lord's Mansion. To do business in it, not only must you pay taxes on time, but you must also reserve the right to use the house for a certain period of time. There are only a few shops with very strong backgrounds, such as Tianji Pavilion.

"What? So fast? I remember the last time... when was the last time..." Xia Lei said in a daze.

The official immortal said impatiently: "The last time you paid the rent for this shop 2000 years ago, now you need to renew it, or you have to move out."

"Uh..." Xia Lei hadn't been to the Immortal Realm 2000 years ago, so how could he know what happened at that time, but he didn't pay less taxes these years, so it should be a misremembering.

"How many fairy stones in total?" Xia Lei asked in confusion.Before the old man left, he didn't tell him about it.

"At least 500 years of rent must be paid. Of course, you can extend it for a longer period of time. Every 500 years, you need 100 yuan of the best immortal stone." Guanxian explained.

Zheng Lin was a little surprised, the income was pretty good, but the tax plus the rent was also quite a fortune.This also made Zheng Lin feel once again that the fairyland is really not a place where ordinary immortals can hang out, the pressure is too great, and the exploitation of those big and small forces is too harsh.

Xia Lei obviously didn't expect the rent to be so high, and after selling so many fairy artifacts, it was only enough to pay the rent once.However, if he is more diligent, in terms of the income of this shop, the rent and taxes seem to be nothing.

In desperation, Xia Lei had no choice but to put all the fairy stones he had just obtained into a storage bag and hand them over to the official fairy.

After the official immortal received the fairy stone, he left a receipt that looked like a receipt, and then left in a hurry.After all, they are official immortals. There are so many cities in the second-level immortal stars, so it is normal for them to be a little busy.

But less than an hour after the official immortal left, when Xia Lei was continuing to discuss the business of the store with Zheng Lin, another immortal dressed almost the same as the official immortal just now walked in, opening his mouth to collect the rent, and The expression is more domineering.

This is how the same thing?Both Zheng Lin and Xia Lei were dumbfounded.Obviously, the rent has just been paid not long ago, so why do you have to pay it again?

Regarding the question of the two, the official immortal frowned first, and then laughed loudly: "You have been deceived, that person is definitely not the deacon of the city lord's mansion. When he asked you for rent, did he show his identity token to you?" You see? After collecting the rent, what evidence has been left for you?"

Zheng Lin and Xia Lei were shocked at the same time, they didn't even know that they had to look at the identity token, and Xia Lei hurriedly showed the official immortal the written evidence left by the previous immortal.It's okay if you don't read it, but after reading the written evidence, the official fairy smiled even brighter.

After a long while, seeing Zheng Lin and Xia Lei's faces were like pig's liver, the official stopped laughing and said: "Our deacon of the city lord's mansion collects the rent. We always show our identity token first, but after collecting the rent, we don't Instead of setting up a written statement, I will give you a special jade card. Once the time is up, the jade card will be broken, and we will come to ask you to renew the fee. The jade card is placed on the lintel of the store. If you don’t believe me, you can have a look."

Zheng Lin and Xia Lei looked at the lintel of the store at the same time, and they saw a groove, in which there was indeed a broken jade plaque.

Deacon Guanxian took off the broken jade tablet, took out a new jade tablet, and said, "Let's take a look, does it look the same?"

Sure enough, although the jade token was broken, if it was put together correctly, it would be exactly the same as the jade token that the deacon immortal took out.

It can be seen from this that Xia Lei was indeed deceived an hour ago.However, what puzzled Zheng Lin was, how did the immortal know that this shop should be renewed?Moreover, how did he know that Xia Lei was ignorant of how to charge the rent?

Unless the immortal went into the store to look carefully and found that the jade plaque on the lintel was broken, and he must know Xia Lei very well.

Although he was very helpless, the deacon fairy had no time to delay here. Xia Lei had to take another fairy stone from his storage ring, but his income over the years was only able to pay taxes, and there were not many fairy stones at this time. .

Seeing Xia Lei's embarrassed expression, the deacon immortal immediately changed his expression, and said solemnly: "If you can't pay the rent, you can move out now. If new merchants move in, we can charge more Rent." Judging by his appearance, he was not joking at all.

The rent is determined according to the area of ​​the shop, but it is also set by the City Lord's Mansion. Once it is set, it will not be changed, and the price cannot be increased midway.But if the merchant is changed, the city lord's mansion can change the rent, whether it is high or low depends on the words of the deacon.

"Can you give me some time?" Xia Lei realized that he was too lazy before, otherwise he wouldn't worry about it.And the old man must have never thought that Xia Lei would be in the current predicament, because he left Xia Lei with a lot of fairy treasures. As long as Xia Lei can sell one tenth of them, he can also live in the city without any worries. Blessed here.

"It's stupid, why are you dragging? You guys can't do it for two days, you guys know how to make money with your mouth, and you drag each one like two to five to eighty thousand. To put it bluntly, it's just bullshit!"

Zheng Lin really didn't expect that Xia Lei had such a fiery temper after coming to the Immortal Realm for so long, probably because he was deeply influenced by the harmonious society of the people on Earth.

"Seriously injuring the deacon officer for no reason, insinuating and insulting the city lord, damn it!" The deacon officer was furious, and was about to slap him with a wave of his palm.

All the deacons have high levels of cultivation, and this one has the strength of the early Hengxian. His slap is so fast that Xia Lei can't dodge or resist it.Zheng Lin didn't want to see his fellow villagers being beaten just like that, so he grabbed the official's wrist.

The official immortal just wanted to teach Xia Lei a lesson, and didn't intend to kill Xia Lei, so he saved most of his strength, which made it so easy for Zheng Lin to hold his wrist.
