Chapter 170 Lin Zhanlong
Lin Mansion.
Lobby, reception room.
Zhao Shiwen was wearing the black slim-fitting uniform of the Taxation Department, with cloud-like patterns embroidered on the cuffs. She looked low-key and connotative. This was a cassock.
Her eyes were indifferent and her expression was cold. She was sitting on a chair with her legs crossed, looking quite casual.
Her long black hair was pulled into a simple bun, hanging down her back like a waterfall.
Behind her, stood two deep-breathing foundation-building monks with extremely luxurious equipment.
As a high-ranking deputy director of the Taxation Department, he handles tens of thousands of spiritual stones, so safety is naturally a top priority.
She never felt that no one would dare to take action against her because of the manager's back.
In fact, she had been assassinated not ten times but eight times in the past two years.
But the more this happened, the more excited Zhao Shiwen became, and she devoted 120,000 passion to her work.
She enjoyed the attention.
As for the two foundation-building monks behind her, one is a new foundation-builder in the Taxation Department. He has just signed a twenty-year work contract with the Taxation Department, and the price of breach of contract is extremely heavy.
One is a senior temporary worker in the Taxation Department and a newly promoted Supreme Elder of a foundation-building family. In order to find a backer for his family, he came here on his own initiative.
This kind of foundation-building monk with a clean background and family ties is quite trustworthy.
"Master Lin, the Lin family's Feijian shop on Xingye Street is suspected of private transactions and tax evasion. According to the new tax code, we have closed the shop and issued a fine notice to the Lin family.
It has been almost a month, why has the fine not arrived yet? "
Zhao Shiwen spoke calmly. The experience of being in a position of power for many years gave her a bit more majesty. Even her simple words had inexplicable oppressive power.
The head of the Lin family is named Lin You. He is in the early stages of foundation building. He is only over eighty years old and in his prime. He looks like a middle-aged man with a majestic look.
At this moment, facing a little girl who was two generations younger than him and whose cultivation level was a whole level lower, Lin You's face was ashen, her eyes were full of anger but she had to restrain herself.
"Deputy Director Zhao, I have already filed an appeal regarding the Feijian shop on Xingye Street.
It's obviously just a shopkeeper selling his flying sword privately, so how can it be considered a shop transaction? It just happens that the transaction place is in a shop.
Even if you take a step back, even if the store accidentally forgets to record it, it won't be closed down and people will be arrested, right? "
Zhao Shiwen smiled slightly and said: "Master Lin, your Lin family is now the tax model of Shangyang City and a role model for everyone.
Therefore, you should not make mistakes. Once you make a mistake, it will be a provocation to the entire tax department. Without heavy penalties, it will not be enough to convince the public. "
Lin You almost couldn't help but slap the table.
What the hell, if you do well, you get a heavier punishment. What kind of bullshit is this?
It was clearly targeted deliberately!
"Deputy Director Zhao, if you have any conditions, just tell me. Spiritual stones, magic weapons, shops, even foundation-building pills, I can agree to it.
As long as you can hold your hand high, don't hold on to the misunderstanding of the past. "
Zhao Shiwen sneered: "Master Lin, do you know how many Foundation Building Pills are on the plaque of the Taxation Department now?
There are seven whole pills. As long as I want, I can eat these seven pills as much as I want.
The reason why I didn't break through the Foundation Establishment is just because my cultivation level is not enough, not because I lack the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Your conditions seem sincere to you, but to me, they are nothing more than that. "
Lin You closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her face was expressionless.
"So what kind of conditions does Deputy Director Zhao think are sincere?"
Zhao Shiwen said: "Master Lin, my conditions have been stated a long time ago."
"First, there is a young talent in our company named Jiang Shaolin. He comes from a famous family. He has admired the aristocratic Miss Lin Xiaoman for a long time, so he asked me to be his matchmaker and marry Lin Xiaoman as his concubine."
"Second, I want Lin Wu to abandon his cultivation!"
"Third, compensation of one hundred thousand spirit stones!"
Lin You sneered: "Do you think it's possible?"
Lin Xiaoman has not yet perfected her qi training, and the chance of breaking through to the realm of foundation building is low. It is not impossible to marry and sacrifice as a chess piece.
But no one can marry someone from the Jiang family, let alone be a concubine.
Who doesn't know that the Jiang Lin family almost started a clan war a few years ago and fought to the death?
Now that the Lin family's legitimate daughter is married off as a concubine, in the eyes of outsiders, it means that the Lin family has admitted defeat and is throwing the Lin family's face to the ground.
As the fourth son of the previous generation of the Lin family, Lin Wu seized the opportunity during the beast wave more than ten years ago and had already broken through to the realm of foundation building.
Nowadays, apart from the ancestors of the Lin family, the status of the head of the family is not much higher than him. Why should he be allowed to abandon his cultivation?
On the contrary, it is the third condition. One hundred thousand spirit stones may seem like a lot, but in fact... it is a lot!
When they originally planned to deal with Yu Xian, the general manager, their entire budget was only 50,000 spirit stones.
It’s impossible to agree to it anyway.
It was just a few jokes back then. If it weren't for the sake of the steward and the city lord, how could we tolerate a lowly maid acting so presumptuously in front of them!
A fierce light flashed in Lin You's eyes.
There is no need for 100,000 spirit stones, 10,000 spirit stones are enough for a foundation builder to personally kill a qi cultivator.
Zhao Shiwen said: "It seems that there is no need to talk. Head Lin, please pay the fine as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the time passes, late payment fees will be incurred, and the gain will outweigh the loss."
"Deputy Director Zhao, I am very sincere. The last price is 30,000 spirit stones. Let's forget all the past.
From now on, the Lin family and you will not be in conflict with each other. "
Lin You stopped Zhao Shiwen who was about to leave.
Zhao Shiwen didn't look back.
Peng!
Lin You grabbed the teacup and smashed it, causing a huge splash of water to bloom.
"You are seeking death yourself!"
"You'er."
At this moment, a slow voice came, and a white-haired old man carrying a long sword walked into the hall.
"As a sword cultivator, I have a pure mind and should be careful not to be impatient. You have gone astray."
"Ancestor."
Lin You quickly greeted the old man.
The person who came was none other than Lin Zhanlong, the ancestor of the Lin family, known as the Dragon-Zhanying Sword.
Lin Zhanlong asked: "You'er, do you know why you were forced to look like this by a little qi-training maid?"
Lin You replied: "Of course it's the person behind her, a lowly maid in the realm of Qi training. My grandson can kill her with just one finger."
"Yes, behind her are Manager Yu, City Lord Xiao, and Master Yu, so what's the use of killing her?
If Zhao Shiwen dies, there will still be Li Shiwen and Wang Shiwen. As long as the people behind her don't stop targeting our Lin family, we will never be able to kill them all.
On the contrary, once they find an excuse, our Lin family will be in danger of being exterminated.
This new master's appetite is very big, and it is not a golden elixir. We aristocratic families are just a bite of meat that they can eat whenever they want. "
Lin Zhanlong said quietly.
Lin You's heart trembled and she woke up with a start.
"Thank you, ancestor, for your advice. My grandson understands. From now on, we must strictly abide by the rules and prevent the Taxation Department and the City Lord from taking the opportunity to deal with our Lin family."
"No, you still don't get it."
Lin Zhanlong shook his head lightly and said:
"Rather than expecting mercy from others, I want to take the initiative in my own hands."
Lin You's eyes were startled, and then she looked happy again:
"Ancestor, are you going to break through?!"
Lin Zhanlong said calmly: "I'm only half sure."
Lin You suddenly had a bitter look on his face: "Ancestor, the half-certainty is still too low, you have to be cautious.
You are the anchor of the Lin family. If something happens to you, the Lin family will be disbanded. "
Lin Zhanlong said: "Old ghost Jiang is dead, but the Jiang family is still alive and well."
"I'm here to say goodbye to you today. After I leave, you can hide it as long as you can. When you can't hide it anymore, you can handle it as appropriate."
Lin You asked suspiciously: "Ancestor is going to travel far away? Doesn't it mean that we can survive the disaster on Shangyang Mountain? We will be there to protect him when the time comes, so we may be a little more sure."
Lin Zhanlong said: "Now that the Lin family is being targeted, if I still survive the disaster under their eyes, it will be a huge human disaster.
What's more, Shangyangshan's second-level high-grade spiritual veins are not helpful for breaking through the golden elixir, but are actually a hindrance.
I plan to pass through the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains and go to Xuanyang Realm to overcome the tribulation. "
Lin You was shocked again: "But now that the Xuanyang Chamber of Commerce has evacuated, without a spaceship to escort us, how will our ancestors survive the Ten Thousand Demons Mountains?"
The entire Shangyang City Cultivation World is like an isolated wasteland. Most of the border is bordered by ten thousand monsters, and the other half is close to the Sea of Death.
If you want to leave the world of immortal cultivation in Shangyang City, you must either go to the mortal world through the Sea of Death, or cross the branches of the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountains to reach the Xuanyang Realm ruled by the Xuanyang Sect, which is an extremely vast world.
When Danyang Zhenren was still alive, Xuanyang Sect's subordinate chamber of commerce still had a stronghold in Shangyang City. Every ten to fifteen years, Xuanyang Chamber of Commerce's spaceships would come here to dump goods and purchase goods at low prices. Some basic raw materials.
But since Yu Zhenren came to power, Xuanyang Chamber of Commerce has all withdrawn.
In fact, the price of cultivation resources above the foundation-building realm has increased slightly in recent years.
Lin Zhanlong showed no fear: "With the sword in my hand, if I can successfully pass through the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain Range, my confidence in breaking through will be increased by at least half."
As he spoke, he sighed again.
"The original golden elixir seed was Zhen'er. He was born with a three-yang spirit body. Even Danyang Zhenren said that he was born in a bad place.
Originally, I planned to spend the rest of my life for the Lin family and fully support Zhen'er's breakthrough.
It's just that in order to prevent him from becoming arrogant, I haven't given him much preferential treatment. I even went so far as to temper him and sent him to the mortal world to compete with the Jiang family for the world and to compete for his own cultivation qualifications.
I didn’t expect that Old Ghost Jiang would also be recuperating there..."
Speaking of the Lin family's golden elixir seed, Lin You also looked regretful.
"Ancestor, you even gave him the third-level escape talisman, which was your life-saving trump card, but you still didn't save his life. I can only say that it's time for him to die, so you can't blame others."
"Now that my ancestor has made up his mind, my grandson hereby wishes you success and a long life of 500 years."
Lin You bowed deeply to Lin Zhanlong.
"You take good care of the Lin family. Let go when it's time to let go. Don't be greedy. I'm going to go."
Lin Zhanlong left his last words, and then his figure gradually disappeared.
Lin You looked at the empty sky in the distance and sighed deeply.
He knew that if his ancestors did not reach the golden elixir realm, they would never have the chance to meet again.
"Golden elixir..."
Outsiders only know about him as the head of the Lin family, but they don't know the pressure on him.
Right now.
The Lin family's concierge arrived in a hurry.
"Sir, Manager Yu is here to visit."
Lin You was startled, thinking that the ancestor who had just left could not be such a coincidence.
He was silent for a while, then slowly said:
"Please, ask him to come in."
