Genshin Impact: I will be the God of Thunder

Page 3

Sure enough, both Yinshan and the sergeant next to him were selectively blind and ignored these two people, allowing Lei Dian Shuo and Zhu Zi to pass through as if no one else was around.

Why is selective blindness?

Hey, no reason.

Those who work in their line of work need a vision.

Zhuzi is an ordinary little girl. As a rice wife, if she wants to return to the country during the lockdown, she will definitely be stopped for inspection and registration.

But Lei Dianshuo was dressed luxuriously and had an outstanding temperament. At first glance, he was no ordinary person.

So Zhuzi followed Lei Dingshuo, and no one dared to embarrass them.

The sergeants in the Supervision Office did not dare to stop Lei Dianshuo because of his clothes and temperament.

After all, Yinshan has a serious position in the shogunate.

Although she didn't recognize Lei Dianshuo's identity, she saw that Lei Dianshuo had a kind face, and because this man was not easy to mess with at first sight, she became selectively blind.

The two of them had a smooth journey. As one after another of the atmospheric red maples grew on the roadside, the two of them began to go deep into the outlying island and into the interior of the island.

Because commerce was prosperous... well, at least it used to be commerce was prosperous, so the interior of the island was lined with shops and people coming and going.

However, Lei Dianshuo could clearly see that although there were many shops, not many were open for business.

It is true that people come and go, but the bustling people are locals from the outlying islands, and these locals are good-looking and live a poor life.

Apart from them, almost no foreign merchants from the past could be seen.

Inazuma's commerce and business have declined to this point, which Leidenshuo cannot accept.

Whether business is prosperous is a symbol of a country's economic and financial vitality.

Just looking at the state of decay here, you can roughly guess how bad the inside of Inazuma is.

It can't go on like this.

Thinking like this, Lei Dianshuo continued to move forward, not wanting to continue looking at the depressed scene of the outlying island.

Not far away, Lei Dianshuo stopped and felt very keenly that something wrong was happening next to him.

Zhu Zi was confused and looked over there following Lei Dianshuo's eyes. It turned out to be a food stall on the roadside.

Since the shops on the outlying islands are all subject to designation and implementation, merchants who want to open shops can only rent these shops and cannot buy them directly.

However, even if you rent a shop, the rent is quite high. The rent alone has dissuaded many people who want to do business.

Therefore, compared to shops, there are indeed more stalls on the outlying islands, among which these small carts and food stalls are the most common.

The person who opened this food stall on the roadside was a lady with her little daughter.

I felt pity for this lady's attractive appearance, but her hairstyle looked dangerous, and she was a typical wife.

I just don’t know why a housewife would bring her little daughter out to set up a stall?Where have her men gone?

The reason why Lei Dianshuo frowned was not because of this food stall or because of this wife.

What he felt was inappropriate was the arrogant guy standing in front of this food stall.

This sanctimonious man, wearing the military uniform of Kanding Sengfeng, seems to be the tax collector of Kansing Sengfeng.

Even from a distance, Lei Dianshuo clearly heard the conversation between them.

The tax official stood there with his arms folded and an inhumane look on his face:

"I said, madam, it's time to pay this month's taxes, right?

There is also last month's tax. You should also make up for last month's tax. "

Facing the domineering tax officer, the lady was obviously very frightened.

She protected her little daughter behind her like a calf, feeling very embarrassed and miserable:

"Sir, please do it!

Since the start of the lockdown and the start of the war, taxes on the outlying islands have been rising steadily, and we are really overwhelmed!

If the tax continues like this, my daughter and I will not be able to survive! "

The fierce tax official automatically ignored the second half of the sentence. The guy's eyes widened and he was fierce and irritable:

"What? What did you say!?

Are you dissatisfied with the general's policy of seclusion and the war decisions of those above? "

4. Kill in anger

The lady was frightened by the tax officer's words and waved her hands hurriedly:

"No, no, how dare I be dissatisfied with the General? I'm just describing the difficulties of our small business!"

The tax official didn't care about the ones that were there or not, he raised his voice and slapped the cart in front of him arrogantly.

At this moment, some of the snacks placed on the cart for sale were knocked to the ground.

The little daughter behind the wife quickly ran over to pick it up with a distressed look on her face.

The tax collector's roar came closer and closer, continuing to force the lady:

“Not only are I dissatisfied with your Excellency’s policies, but I also use this treasonous reason to try to evade taxes!

This is no longer as simple as adding one crime to another! "

The lady felt sad and bitter in her heart, and begged with tears in her eyes:

"Sir, please be fair. How can we say that we are a small business that evades taxes?

Taxes are rising step by step, and my income from running a stall can hardly cover these taxes. If this continues, the family will not be able to open the fire. How will my daughter and I survive...

It would be fine if there was a man to support the family, but...but..."

At this point, the lady couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears:

"But... my man was among the first to be drafted into the army. He went to the front line early, and there has been no news since then.

I just got the news a few days ago that I received... received a pension from the shogunate..."

Normal people would be a little intolerable when hearing this situation, right?

But this evil official got worse:

"Isn't that right? You can hand over the pension to deduct the tax!"

The lady looked at the tax collector in shock, as if looking at a demon:

"Sir, how could you say such a thing? That is the money my man paid for with his life! It is the last hope for us two to survive!

not to mention……"

The lady collapsed and covered her face:

“The pension paid out is much less than what was agreed upon before, and even if it is paid out, it is not enough to deduct taxes.

I really can't live anymore, I really can't live anymore...

If I didn't have a daughter to take care of, I really want to... I really want to..."

The lady's experience did not faze the tax official. He remained cold and pressed forward step by step.

Over there, Lei Dingshuo, who had seen everything and heard everything, was already furious, and his anger could hardly be suppressed.

Zhuzi next to him also clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to hold back.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Dianshuo relieved his anger slightly and looked around.

Other people setting up stalls around her showed sympathy when they saw what this lady was going through.

But no one offered a helping hand, because they were unable to protect themselves from the tax officials.

Not only the wife and her little daughter, but also the small business people around her looked worried. It seemed that their business was not doing well and their lives were hopeless.

Lei Dianshuo sighed for a while.

He looked in the direction of Narukami Island.

Peeping the leopard in the tube.

I encountered this situation just after I came back.

How many of them are there in the whole Daozhu that I have not encountered?

What has become of Rice Wife today?

The people are in dire straits, and mourners are everywhere.

If we just continue to let it go, it is not impossible that Ina Wife will collapse and people will rise up in various places!

Before, I only knew how much harm the shogunate's corruption had caused to Inazuma's people.

But if you know it, you know it. Seeing it with your own eyes is indeed more shocking and deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Lei Dianshuo had a rare feeling of resentment towards Lei Movie.

Rice wives shouldn't be like this, this country can't be like this.

Shadow, you are going the wrong way.

While Lei Dingshuo was deep in thought, the tax official over there actually became more aggressive again, transforming from a bastard into a beast!

Maybe he saw that the wife really couldn't come up with the money, or maybe he knew the details of the wife.

The tax official changed his expression and changed into a smile that frightened the lady:

"Well, seeing how pitiful you are, I have to understand your difficulties.

As you know, tax collection is a government matter that is personally supervised by the Lord.

If I can't collect the taxes, I have no way to report it to the adults. In the end, the adults will definitely blame me!

I can let you go this time, and we'll deal with this month's taxes next month.

But madam, should you... give me some compensation? "

When he said the words "compensation", the tax officer's voice was lowered, and he leaned forward and approached the lady with a dark smile.

As for what compensation is, everyone knows.

Seeing such a gloomy smile from the tax officer, the lady turned pale with fright. She quickly protected her little daughter behind her while shaking her head in panic:

"No, no, my husband just died on the battlefield and I just became a widow. How can this be done!?

You actually made such a request of me, how can you be worthy of my husband who just died in battle!

My husband died fighting for his wife and the general!He is a hero after all!How can you bear it! ? "

Rejected directly by the lady, the tax officer's face became quite gloomy.

He made direct, angry and blatant threats:

"What? You dare to refuse me?

How dare you talk about your dead man! ?

I see you are toasting instead of eating and being punished with a drink!

If you don't agree to my words, not only will the taxes be paid immediately!And to appease my anger, you must serve us! "

The lady was stunned and turned pale:

"You...you!?"

The tax officer sneered ferociously:
