Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

The next day, Japanese merchants along the coast discovered a tall tower.

"Peacekeeping Bureau?"

"A tall tower was erected overnight. Zhao Chuanxin has indeed regained his magic."

"What does he want to do? This is the Shikiko County of our Great Japanese Empire!"

These people only dared to mutter from a distance and did not dare to come closer.

Zhao Chuanxin sat outside the tower and said to the merchants, "Pay taxes according to the list of goods as usual, and pay by yourself."

Some Japanese businessmen were confused: "What does self-service tax payment mean?"

"You'll find out when you go in."

The Japanese businessman walked to the door, saw the couplets and the door lintel, and spat on the ground.

After entering the tower, there is only one counter with a board on it that says - Fill out the goods documents, 10% tax and 3% tax. Spread the money on the table and put it into the cash box.

There is a pen, an ink bottle, and a piece of paper with a form on the table.

The businessman looked at the form with a sneer on his face: "You are a crude warrior, indeed an amateur."

He started writing quickly and finished in a moment, then spread out the money on the counter. He should have paid about 15 yen, but he deliberately gave 5 yen less.

Just as I was about to turn around, suddenly a row of wood on the wall was turned over, and words were engraved on the board - Please pay the money.

The Japanese businessman sneered - Are you cheating me?

Ha ha.

Just as he was about to turn around, a puppet arm stretched out, holding a Conqueror pistol, with the muzzle pointed at the Japanese businessman's head.

There was a hint of fear on the Japanese businessman's face, but he still didn't believe it and thought it was all Zhao Chuanxin's trick.

Just took a step.

boom.

The Japanese businessman was shot in the head.

The other merchants outside made a commotion: "Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

"Did you ambush the swordsmen in the tower? Kill people and rob them openly?"

Zhao Chuanxin said calmly, "That person filled out the form but underpaid 5 yen. He deserves death. If you don't believe me, why not go in and try it yourself?"

The person at the front of the team had to enter the tower carefully.

When he saw the corpse on the ground, his face looked very grim, but he still walked around to the counter, filled out the form according to the rules, then took out 67 yen, looked around, it seemed that there seemed to be no one here, so he became interested.

But then I thought, wouldn’t it be terrible if there were people lying in ambush and spying here?

So I had to spread the money on the table and put it into the cash box.

Nothing happened.

After coming out, he whispered a few words to the next taxpayer in the line.

The man's eyes rolled around.

After entering the tower, the man filled out the form and paid the money in one go. He did not play any tricks, but a sly smile appeared on his face.

The amount of money he invested was consistent with the form, but his goods were far more than that.

There was a corpse on the ground, and the remaining people did not dare to act rashly and paid taxes honestly.

But in the afternoon, when a few scheming merchants were loading goods onto the ship, they were stopped by Zhao Chuanxin: "Only load half."

"Why?"

“I paid the tax but they are not allowed to load the ship?”

"Even if we don't dare to mess with you, at least you should follow the rules."

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at them and said, "Your goods are worth 895 yen, but you only paid 130 yen in taxes. Your goods are worth 126 yen, but you only paid 14 yen. You... do you have anything else to say? If anyone argues with me, I will tear his mouth open."

These tax-evading merchants were secretly frightened, as what Zhao Chuanxin said was accurate to the dollar.

How did he know since he was outside?

Don’t mention it, there was actually one person who stiffened his neck and said stubbornly: “You are talking nonsense…”

Zhao Chuanxin put on two leather gloves, suddenly appeared in front of the man, put his left and right middle fingers and index fingers into his mouth, and tore them apart violently.

laugh……

"Well……"

Zhao Chuanxin tore off his two leather gloves and threw them on the ground. "Damn it, you thought Zhao was joking with you, right?"

Zhao Chuanxin always keeps his word!

The surrounding merchants and workers loading and unloading goods were dumbfounded and shuddered at the sight of the merchant whose mouth was torn.

The man became a real smiling face, feeling pain and fear.

Zhao Chuanxin lit a cigarette, exhaled and asked, "Are there any more stubborn people?"

"no no……"

"I'll pay the taxes..."

These people went in dejectedly to pay the additional taxes.

Zhao Chuanxin lay back down on the recliner.

At this moment, Smiling Face suddenly took out a dagger and rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin.

"Well, it's Nipin!"

Leaking something when speaking.

"Fight, are you paralyzed?" Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and a blade of light appeared.

Swish.

The head with a smiling face fell to the ground.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed at a loading worker and hooked his finger: "Come here, clean up the two bodies inside and outside the house. This is your reward."

Zhao Chuanxin casually threw over a dollar.

The workers looked drooling, but they were cautious.

It was not until Zhao Chuanxin's eyes pricked up that he hurried to do it.

At night, three Japanese men sneaked up to the tower.

They walked into the door and found it was not closed.

The three of them looked at each other and saw joy on each other's faces.

Someone called softly, "Zhao Sang, Zhao Sang?"

No one answered.

Another person said happily: "I saw it clearly today. Zhao Chuanxin did not take the money away. It is said that it is all in the cash box."

"You keep watch while we go in and get the money."

"it is good."

The two entered the stone tower.

bang bang.

No more sound.

The sentry was confused and looked anxious. He called out in a low voice, but there was no response after he called twice. He became anxious as the gunshots were too loud in the night and he had to retreat.

So he turned and ran.

The next morning, Zhao Chuanxin sat on a lounge chair by the dock as usual.

The man who was on guard last night was a dock worker.

He lowered his head guiltily. When he passed by Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Chuanxin said, "Wait a minute."

The worker staggered and almost fell, but his legs felt weak.

He almost didn't sleep the whole night, but he had to go to work because he had a wife and children to support.

"Zhao Sang, what do you want from me? I will do it."

"What's the matter? Are you feeling guilty? Were you keeping watch last night?"

"Zhao Sang, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Itagaki Kenkichi, Fukuzawa Takami, don't scare me, come out quickly..." Zhao Chuanxin spoke with his vocal organs. "Does this sound familiar?"

"You, you are nearby?" The worker's face changed drastically.

The Japanese people watching around immediately understood: "So they want to evade taxes..."

"No wonder Itagaki Kenkichi's wife was crying so early in the morning..."

Zhao Chuanxin said, "Haha, don't be nervous. We in the Peacekeeping Bureau only care about results. You were on guard outside and didn't go in, so you are innocent. Go in now, take the two bodies away, and wipe the floor clean. If there is a drop of blood left, I will cut off your tongue and use it as a rag to wipe the floor."
