Chapter 946: The Arrogant Tax Commissioner
Qing Wenliang, the tax director of Qing State, led a group of experts to Maocheng.
Qi Maolin, the lord of Maocheng City, was immediately dumbfounded.
"Here they come! They're coming!"
Qi Maolin was frightened and at a loss.
The Maocheng Guards have been repeatedly reduced under the instructions of the king, and they are already in disgrace. There are less than thirty in number, and they are all old and weak soldiers. How can they fight against the Tax Department?
Since the Qingguo Taxation Department is directly under the ruler of the country, it continues to recruit experts. Including Director Qing Wenliang, there are more than 20 powerful people above the realm of gods.
These more than 20 strong men came to Maocheng, leaving Maocheng with no way out.
The people from the Taxation Department came to the city, and Qing Wen said loudly: "People from Maocheng, please listen to me. Someone killed the brother of the Taxation Department. Please hand over this person. Otherwise, I will ask the entire Maocheng to pay tribute to the dead brothers." Buried with him!"
Qi Maolin was startled by the words.
Qi Maolin immediately came to Zhou Ran and said: "Sir, you said you have a way to deal with the Tax Department, please think of a way quickly! If there is no way, I will have to hand you over!"
"Not urgent."
Zhou Ran said lazily, without any panic, watching from the city wall.
From where he was, he could see Qing Wenliang and others, but the people from the Taxation Department couldn't see him.
"Not in a hurry? How could I not be in a hurry?"
Qi Maolin wanted to die.
Zhou Ran is very powerful, and the people in the Taxation Department are also very powerful. As a city lord, he is caught in the middle, which is really cowardly.
The tax department is out in force, and it's not just as simple as hunting down the murderer.
Even if Zhou Ran is executed, Maocheng will still spend a lot of money, which will undoubtedly make Maocheng worse.
Since Zhou Ran's attitude was ambiguous, Qi Maolin had no choice but to go out of the city alone. The Maocheng Guard soldiers on the city wall could only watch, and there was no one to protect Qi Maolin.
Qi Maolin came to Qing Wenliang, nodded and bowed: "Director Qing, if you have something to say, why do you need to bring so many people here?"
There was no hint of the city lord in his words, just like a servant.
Qing Wenliang looked at Qi Maolin coldly and said, "City Lord Qi, you finally came out. I thought Maocheng was going to have a head-to-head fight with the Taxation Department?"
"How dare! How dare!" Qi Maolin said hurriedly, "Director Qing, I really don't know that someone from the Maocheng Taxation Department was killed. After it happened, I sent people to find the murderer! But this person can kill There are so many people in the Taxation Department, how can Maocheng's guards find him? The murderer has long since escaped. Even if you raze Maocheng to the ground, there is no way to find him. Director Qing, in order to express his apology, This is a bit trivial!”
With that said, Qi Maolin handed a golden statue to Qing Wenliang's hand.
This statue is the only treasure in his family that he can get away with. It is worth hundreds of red soul coins. He hopes that it can save him money and avoid disaster and make the people from the tax department retreat.
Unexpectedly, Qing Wenliang lost the statue as soon as he got it.
"What the hell? Can you get this kind of thing?" Qing Wenliang scorned fiercely, "Qi Maolin, let me tell you, I don't even look at anything in Maocheng! The city-state where the untouchables live, if If it wasn’t for collecting taxes, I would have destroyed Maocheng a long time ago! Since this happened, I’ll just stop doing it!”
As he spoke, Qing Wenliang's body overflowed with murderous aura.
Qi Maolin was shocked. The director of the Taxation Department had the peak strength of the God Transformation, which was far better than his own. He became angry and feared that the entire Maocheng would not be saved.
"Director Qing, please let Maocheng go! The citizens of Maocheng are already pitiful enough.
Why don't you spare them? "
Qi Maolin knelt down to Qing Wenliang.
But Qing Wenliang is so hard-hearted, how can he be willing to listen?
"roll!"
Qing Wenliang kicked Qi Maolin and sent Qi Maolin flying away.
This kick was accompanied by Qing Wenliang's powerful true energy. Even if Qi Maolin had the peak strength of Nascent Soul, he was kicked so hard that he could not get up.
Qi Maolin vomited blood. He had tried his best but could not stop the people from the Taxation Department from attacking Maocheng.
Qing Wenliang was too lazy to pay attention to Qi Maolin, and ordered to his subordinates: "Maocheng cannot hand over the murderer. In this case, kill all the people in Maocheng, leaving no one alive!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Maocheng Guard soldiers on the city wall dispersed.
The tax department is going to kill people. Fighting against them is like using a mantis as a chariot. It is better to escape immediately and save your life.
Just as the people from the Taxation Department were about to start a killing spree, a voice sounded from beside Qing Wenliang.
"I killed the man, come and kill me!"
It was Zhou Ran's voice.
Qing Wenliang was furious. Someone dared to admit that he had killed someone from the tax department. Regardless of whether it was true or not, this person must die.
"You actually admitted it, how brave you are!"
Qing Wenliang looked at Zhou Ran. When he saw Zhou Ran's face clearly, he froze.
That night, it was Zhou Ran who drove the tax department out of the border town of Jingguo.
Although they had only met once, Qing Wenliang knew Zhou Ran's strength very well. Even if he and his brothers were present, he would not be Zhou Ran's opponent.
"Director, what's wrong?"
One of his subordinates asked. He had never met Zhou Ran.
Qing Wenliang was speechless, like a puppet. This made his subordinates very concerned. Who is this man who suddenly appeared?
Seeing that Qing Wenliang had stopped talking, Zhou Ran said again: "Why don't you kill me? I really killed the people in the Maocheng Taxation Department. Don't you want revenge? Why don't you take action?"
Zhou Ran's words made the members of the Taxation Bureau present furious.
Several members of the Taxation Bureau surrounded Zhou Ran. They were all in the Spiritualization Realm. They worked together to fight the enemy. No matter how strong Zhou Ran was, he could not escape.
"You bastard, you dared to kill the brothers of the Taxation Bureau. You really don't know how to live or die!"
"Today I will cut you into pieces!"
As they spoke, the members of the Taxation Bureau rushed towards Zhou Ran.
"Stop!"
Qing Wenliang shouted, but it was too late.
Waves of sword energy burst out from Zhou Ran's body. Those members of the Taxation Bureau died under Zhou Ran's sword energy before they could react.
The whole process took no more than one second. Zhou Ran killed more than a dozen Spiritualization masters in one breath.
Zhou Ran's strength could no longer be described in words.
Qing Wenliang, director of the Taxation Bureau, witnessed this scene.
At first, he thought that the Taxation Bureau had some chance of winning, but when he saw the tragic death of his companions, he gave up the idea.
Zhou Ran is very strong. Even if more people are gathered to attack him, it will only increase the number of corpses. .
"Marquis Guanjun, I really didn't know it was you! If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have brought my brothers to Maocheng! Please forgive me this time for the sake of our mutual understanding! I will never ask for revenge on the tax commissioner brother you killed!"
In order to stay alive, Qing Wenliang kept begging Zhou Ran.
