"Manager Gao, we are not here to eat this time..." the two constables said with a slightly awkward smile on their faces.

"Huh? Aren't you here to eat?" Manager Gao was slightly stunned.

The two constables also hurried to Qi Wang's side and greeted him respectfully.

After all, Qi Wang is an old captain and he has always been very caring towards the detectives.

All the constables respected Qi Wang very much.

But, they did have a mission this time.

"Captain, we..." a constable said to Qi Wang.

Qi Wang waved his hand hastily and stopped them: "How many times have I told you not to call me captain? I'm retired..."

The two detectives rubbed their heads awkwardly, then said, "Captain, we are here this time because the government has a notice to be sent to all shops..."

Hearing that it was a government matter, Qi Wang said, "You should talk to Manager Gao about this matter. I'm just here for fun..."

...

...

The two constables then turned around and looked at Manager Gao.

Then, the two took out a piece of paper.

It's a notice.

There were some small words written on the paper, and the mayor's seal at the bottom.

After taking the paper, Qi Wang took a look at it and immediately frowned.

"This is a bit too much!" Manager Gao said to the two constables with an unpleasant look on his face.

The two detectives smiled bitterly and said, "Manager Gao, this is the mayor's decision. We are just running errands..."

On the side, Qi Wang heard their conversation and stood up curiously.

Then, he took the paper from Manager Gao.

Then, his expression became extremely ugly.

On the paper was a notice.

The mayor actually ordered to increase taxes again!

The tax amount has doubled again!

Qi Wang slammed the table and said angrily: "Is Goldman Sachs crazy? How can merchants survive?"

When Qi Wang got angry, the two detectives were so scared that they quickly shrank their necks.

After all, Qi Wang had been the captain of the constables for several years. Although he had retired, his influence was still there.

Originally, after Qi Wang retired, he just wanted to play chess every day and enjoy the rest of his life, but he never expected that Sanxia Town would become like this.

Instead of serving the town's residents, the detectives became tax collectors!

"Old captain, please calm down and don't get yourself in trouble..." the two detectives hurriedly advised.

Lin Yu also came over and patted Qi Wang's shoulder gently.

Qi Wang was old and had never practiced cultivation, so when he got angry he started to breathe heavily.

At this time, Lin Yu winked at the two detectives, who immediately understood and hurriedly said goodbye to Qi Wang and walked out.

In the restaurant hall, only Lin Yu, Manager Gao and Qi Wang were left again.

However, Qi Wang's anger did not dissipate with the departure of the two constables.

"This Goldman Sachs is really crazy. How can merchants survive with such high taxes?" Qi Wang said angrily with an ugly look on his face.

Manager Gao also shook his head slightly.

I'm afraid even I can't afford this kind of tax.

My restaurant is the most popular store on this street.

Other stores will definitely not be able to bear it!

I guess the days ahead will be difficult.

"No, I'm going to find Goldman Sachs and ask him face to face what he means!" Qi Wang suddenly stood up.

He felt that he had to step forward himself.

Sanxia Town is his home, and he doesn't want Sanxia Town to be in chaos due to the new mayor.

He also doesn't want the townspeople he used to protect to be bullied!

"Old Qi, I think you'd better not go. You don't have any official position now. Wouldn't it be boring for you if you go?" Manager Gao advised.

Although he didn't want to pay such high taxes, he also didn't want to let his old friend take risks.

To say that you are asking for trouble is to put it mildly.

Manager Gao felt that since the new mayor dared to collect such high taxes, he was definitely not a good person.

Although Qi Wang used to be the captain of the police, he had no relationship with the two brothers. If he affected their financial resources, he might be beaten out.

Lin Yu didn't say anything.

He knew his master's character.

At that time, I went alone to find the person from the evil cult. As an ordinary person, he actually dared to draw his knife to help me.

Now, the high taxes have affected all the businesses in the town, and he certainly won't sit idly by.

"I'll be back soon, wait for me here!"

Qi Wang ignored Manager Gao's advice and got up and left the Xiankelai Restaurant.

A few minutes later.

Lin Yu also said something to Manager Gao and walked out.

Lin Yu didn't know the new mayor's background, but there were only two people in Sanxia Town who had a good relationship with Lin Yu.

Lin Yu didn't want anything to happen to his master Qi Wang.

But Lin Yu didn't follow too closely.

As long as Qi Wang is within his hearing range, it will be fine.

If anything goes wrong, Lin Yu will be there soon.

Soon, Qi Wang arrived at the yamen.

The constable standing guard at the gate was a little surprised to see that it was the old captain who came.

But when they heard that the old captain was here to see the mayor, the two men hurriedly let him go, and one of them quickened his pace to report to the mayor.

…

In the government office.

The mayor and the deputy mayor were drinking tea and chatting.

Looks like you're in a good mood.

"If we double the tax rate, we will be able to gather enough wealth to become inner disciples next month!" Tang Hu said with a little excitement.

"There are only two months left until the deadline, and this time you must become an inner disciple!" Goldman Sachs also looked excited.

"By becoming inner disciples, we will be able to learn more advanced mental methods, and we will have a master at the foundation-building stage to teach us personally. Then, we two brothers will be able to become true immortal cultivators!"

"Unfortunately, the boss has never been able to let go of this town, and he can't become a cultivator like us..."

Speaking of the boss, both of them sighed slightly.

When the three brothers were young, they always went out to fight together.

It was not until the establishment of the Sanxia Town that differences arose.

The eldest wants to live here forever, while the second and third want to pursue immortality.

Eventually, they parted ways.

but.

It is not so easy to pursue the path of immortality.

Although the two brothers went through untold hardships and finally became outer disciples of an immortal cultivation sect, outer disciples could not learn the true methods of cultivating immortals!

If you want to truly embark on the path of cultivating immortals, you must become an inner disciple!

As for those outer disciples with average talent, there is only one way to become inner disciples.

That is to donate a large amount of wealth to the sect!

Cultivating immortals requires money, friends, methods and land, and wealth is the most important part. In fact, the immortal cultivation sects only rely on many outer disciples to collect wealth.

The two brothers have been struggling for many years to gather enough wealth.

It was not until the news of the boss's death came that the two returned to Sanxia Town.

However, the wealth of Sanxia Town gave the two men evil thoughts.

If they could collect the wealth here, they would be one step closer to becoming inner disciples!

At this time.

A constable suddenly ran in hurriedly and reported: "Mayor, deputy mayor, the old captain Qi Wang came to the yamen and said he wanted to see you..."

"Qi Wang?" Goldman Sachs recalled for a moment before remembering this person.

"What's his matter?" Goldman asked.

The constable shook his head and said, "No..."

"Let him in!" Goldman said.

In his heart, he had already guessed something.

Perhaps this former captain of the police came here because of tax issues.

But he was just an ordinary person, and Goldman Sachs didn't take it seriously at all.

Even if all the mortals in the town rebel together, they don't care!

This will give them a good excuse to collect all the wealth in the town!

Even though the two brothers were only outer disciples of an immortal sect and their cultivation was only at the initial stage of Qi Refining, they were still much stronger than ordinary people!

Not long after, Qi Wang came in front of Goldman Sachs and Tang Hu.

"Mayor Gao, it's wrong for you to do this. The current tax rate is simply going to kill the merchants in this town!" Qi Wang said straight to the point.

Qi Wang is actually not that impatient.

But this time, he was indeed a little too angry.
