Yuanshin, no one knows the harem better than me

This wind god is not kind, but extremely strict veto: "You have turned your back on those who have helped you, and you have abandoned those companions who are struggling in suffering... Such a you, even the soul after death Can't be brought back by the wind!"

Twat is not a materialistic world, and he treats beliefs like religious fanatics. If he says that even the soul after death cannot be accepted by Mond, it is equivalent to the often said that he cannot be reborn forever.

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

Werner panicked and sweated profusely, but he couldn't explain...

In the beginning, he was indeed the one who chose to turn his back on the initiative.

Those businessmen are too strong, a group of helpless people unite together and try to survive... But he dare not, he doesn't have the courage to fight against the power.

Every time I meet someone from the chamber of commerce, I only dare to cover my face and leave secretly, or simply act domineering to cover up the guilt in my heart...

As time passed, he lost his enthusiasm for becoming a businessman, and completely became a tool for making money for the appointment.

No more pressing.

In order to prevent his weak legs from kneeling, Werner supported the tree trunk next to him, and confessed with self-blame: "I, I... I am too cowardly, they give me a little promise and a little benefit, and I will just... I'm willing to do anything for those guys, I've lost the face of my hometown..."

Treating the symptoms but not the root cause, what Xia Tian wanted was to completely solve the absurd thing 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 are talking about? "

"I..." Werner hesitated to speak, obviously still a little scared.

Xia Tian promised: "I came here in the name of Fengshen, and I will protect the people of Mond. You can rest assured... Even if it can't be solved temporarily, it won't 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 longer, and came out with a tray: "It's the ashigaru who is in charge of collecting taxes—Keijiro and the others!"

"They told the merchants that the tax rate itself was raised, and the extra part of the "crystallized bone marrow" that replaced the tax was hoarded, and when the merchants had nowhere to search, they asked me to sell it back to those people at a high price. merchant. "

The more he said it, the more heinous it became. Werner also hated this kind of behavior: "Although I have been their puppet, the part given to me is actually a drop in the bucket, to the point where I can barely make ends meet."

Chen Ken pleaded: "I don't want to embarrass the friends of the Chamber of Commerce of the World, please ask Fengshen to punish them!"

The facts he said were similar to what Xia Tian thought, they were all determined to pursue a private project and increase taxes without authorization... It also showed that the bottom of Dao's wife was rotten, but the upper level seemed to be saved?

But the problem came again.

"Outlying Islands" is a key area for the management of foreigners, and its taxation should be the top priority of the country. Isn't there any supervision for such reckless behavior?Has the battle with the rebels taken over General Raiden's daily life?

In short, Xia Tian's impression of General Thunder is getting worse...

I even thought about joining the rebel army altogether, overthrowing the tyranny of Thor. My generation is obliged. Anyway, if you are the god of wind, you are also the god of thunder. It doesn't matter if you have an extra title... It's just a fantasy.

Focusing on the present, Xia Tian said: "Even the gods cannot punish without reason. I need evidence."

"That's right, he won't admit it without conclusive evidence."

Werner bowed his head in thought: "Evidence...evidence..."

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

Xia Tian also remembered the shogun who left before coming here: "The one who just separated from you..."

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

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

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

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

When I first arrived in Xia Tian, ​​I was very unfamiliar with any name: "Liangzi?"

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

The tone is very regretful: "I am also a miserable person. My husband is not in good health and left at a young age. Now she is supporting the food stall... Keijiro takes good care of her. The reason... everyone knows. "

There is still such a story, Xia Tian really wants to meet the widow who makes Keijiro care.

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

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

The proprietress only accepted the part that met the price of snacks, and refunded the rest.

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

Liangzi cleaned up the table, very gentle: "Thanks to you, come and sit down when you have time."

Keijiro was very happy, smiling from ear to ear: "Okay, okay, I just made a lot of money recently..."

Liangzi's eyes darkened when he heard this: "Really? You have worked hard collecting taxes recently, so you don't need to be so busy."

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

But Ryoko also has her own difficulties.

Keijiro and her deceased husband were friends. Her husband was in poor health and couldn't work to make money. Keijiro also funded this food stall. Medical expenses and other troubles...

After her husband's death, Keijiro also treated him kindly, and he never overstepped in any way... It's hard to be cruel if you want to say no more.

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

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

Ryoko sent Keijiro off, saw the two guests, and hurriedly stepped forward to entertain them: "You two, would you like something to eat?"

Although there are some wrinkles from the vicissitudes of life on her face, her skin is fair, her facial features are correct, her hair is well coiled, and her figure still has a charm.

Xia Tian was hungry, drooling at the smell of snacks, but he didn't dare to delay another half a minute.

He asked directly: "Where's Keijiro? I'm a businessman from out of town. I need him for something. Where did he go?"

Generally, few businessmen would take the initiative to find Keijiro. Ryoko felt strange, but still enthusiastically pointed to the other side of the coast: "He...he went there."

"Thanks!"

Walking along the indicated direction, I finally found Keijiro, saw that he was burying something in the sand on the ground, and said to himself: "Hmph! Those people from Wanguo Merchant have been delivering more and more goods recently. The slower it is, the more you have to tap and tap!"

Probably preparing to find trouble with the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations, and left aggressively.

After walking far away, Werner was in charge of looking out the wind, and Xia Tian hurriedly dug a hole and dug out a booklet from the sand.

"Let me see, here is..."

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

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

After going to the beach in summer to wash his muddy hands, Werner handed back the account book: "Then, I won't send you off, I'll go back first."

"Huh? Aren't you going with me? If you help me so much, I believe people from the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations will thank you..." Xia Tian also understood his difficulties, and said thoughtfully: "If you are worried about being noticed by Keijiro, you can first Looking around..."

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

"If you want to see the president, I...I still need a little time, sorry."

Not reluctantly.

Xia Tian had to go back with the ledger before Keijiro lectured the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce.

Chapter 650 The Decaying Man-made World

"It's really gone. If we continue like this, we will only lose money selling goods, and we can only wait to starve to death..."

"A law is a law, and a rule is a rule. The goods that should be delivered must not be less. How can there be so many excuses?"

……

Going to the International Chamber of Commerce, Keijiro is indeed forcing the merchants to hand over the taxes of the past few days.

The merchants were not all weak corners who were willing to compromise. Many younger merchants took advantage of the large number of people to argue fiercely with Keijiro, but due to the threat of force and the so-called regulations, they did not dare to go too far.

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

The battered Jiulixu seemed to be bathed in divine light, and finally saw hope, and immediately opened the ledger.

Quickly scanning the numbers, combining addition and subtraction in his mind... It can indeed match the Chamber of Commerce's own statistics in the past few days.

He didn't say anything immediately, thinking about how to use these accounts to get the best results, and how to persuade those businessmen who were forced to close to bankruptcy by high taxes not to get too excited after learning the truth about the accounts.

I didn't notice that Harrison beside me also saw the accounts. He was one of the representatives who were about to be driven crazy by taxation. He couldn't bear it immediately and burst out.

"What? It's like this? We were tricked!"

Harrison snatched the ledger, rushed to Keijiro, and yelled: "We have got your ledger! It clearly records that you privately hid the goods and resold them to make money... It turns out that the tax rate is getting higher and higher. It's all your fault!"

The account book was circulated in turn, which made the merchants so angry that in the end, Jiuli had to hold the account book tightly in his arms, fearing that it would be robbed by others, and that the matter would become more serious.

But the riots of the merchants could no longer be stopped, and they gathered around one after another, pointing at Keijiro for an explanation.

Just by looking at the cover of the protection ledger, you know it is indeed yours...

The content recorded there is not only the deeds of small characters like Keijiro, but also the more important big people!

If this is exposed... Keijiro panicked for a moment: "This... about the tax... I, I..."

He hesitated and failed to give an explanation.

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

"This account matches every tax before the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Keijiro, there must be nothing to explain. How should we solve this matter..."

A businessman must fully consider the interests. If the matter is completely revealed and those big figures with signatures on the account books are killed, I am afraid that they will not be able to do business in the future!

Isn't it worth the candle?

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

Even the president of the chamber of commerce dared not name the person who took the lead!

Keijiro regained his confidence in an instant, and argued: "Hmph, don't, don't really think that you've caught me, I'm just looking for a small profit..."

Jiulixu is also smart, in other words: "I heard that the samurai value reputation and fame very much, even if the people in the samurai government will not blame you, if it spreads..."

Where does Keijiro have any reputation? The point of his sentence is "even if". deal!

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

Tried to reach out and seize the ledger, but failed.

Jiu Lixu put the ledger behind his back, and said flatteringly: "No, I just think it's a pity that a gentleman like you has any stains..."

"Hmph!" Keijiro looked arrogant, but his mouth was submissive: "...Then, let's take it as a truth! How do you want to deal with it?"

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

Very smart approach.

Excessively demanding requirements will irritate the big shots above, and within Keijiro's authority, there are not many things that can be done. This is the maximum benefit, and it does not tear the face. I believe Keijiro will restrain himself appropriately in the future Some.

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

Keijiro chattered endlessly, seemingly unwilling in every possible way, but finally nodded: "Okay, okay, to save you, I'll give it to you 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 filled with enmity and righteous indignation, and was still clamoring: "How can I just let it go! My shop has been closed for many days, and I rely on friends to help me, so I don't care about these losses!"

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

In embarrassment, Keijiro's face became more and more angry, and he reached out to touch the handle of the knife.

Xia Tian has been watching from the periphery of the crowd, noticing something bad.

However, President Jiu Lisu was still trying his best to appease everyone's emotions: "This is already very good, don't talk about it... If things get bigger, you will be in trouble!"

like water off a duck's back.

The young businessmen headed by Harrison tried to get more compensation: "I'm really fed up with your bullying, this matter is not so easy to forget!"

The crowd is buzzing, attracting more and more onlookers. What should we do if this matter is spread publicly?

Keijiro had never experienced it before, and he was sweating anxiously, his right hand gripping the handle of the knife was trembling, and he didn't know whether he should draw the knife...

"Who is yelling here, trying to defy the law or what?"

Here comes the savior!

A majestic voice pierced the din of the crowd, and it came from a bigger and more experienced shogunate.

This is Keijiro's immediate boss, and he rushed to greet him: "You are here, leader of the Singer group."
