Chapter 154 Not a single cent less
When the tax collectors got off the bus, as expected, they were all wearing thick bulletproof vests, bulletproof helmets, holding submachine guns in their hands, and rifles hanging on their backs. They were armed to the teeth.
Only the leader, a well-mannered fellow, was not carrying a gun.
He pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said in a haughty voice, "Where is the governor of Changshan County?"
Qin Luoshuang stepped forward from a group of staff members and said, "I am Lin Wen, the mayor of Changshan County."
She made some changes, put on the county governor's uniform, and disguised herself as Lin Wen to receive them.
She was tall and about the same height as Lin Wen, and they both had similar handsome looks. After Qin Luoshuang made some minor modifications, they looked about 70% similar.
The accompanying staff were silent. They were all KGB agents, just waiting for Qin Luoshuang's orders.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses didn't question it. He just snorted and didn't even look at him. "Headmaster Lin, you are so bold. Why don't you respond to the inquiry from the General Administration of Taxation?"
Qin Luoshuang said, "The inquiry letter accidentally fell into the water and was lost."
The man with gold-rimmed glasses snorted coldly, raised his hand and unfolded a stack of documents with a rustling sound.
"Look carefully, here's your evidence of tax evasion! And here's the written notice of investigation from the General Administration of Taxation! Now, your tax department is under our control. All your funds will be frozen pending our investigation."
He glanced at several reporters carrying cameras not far away and sneered, "I hope they can be present when we check your accounts."
Qin Luoshuang said calmly, "You are not qualified to check the accounts of the County Government Office."
With a loud bang, the tax collectors behind the man with golden silk immediately raised their guns and quickly formed a battle formation to protect the man with golden silk behind them.
The man with the golden hair pushed up his glasses and sneered, "I advise you to think carefully. The Imperial Taxation Bureau is a department of the Imperial Headquarters. You should know the consequences of violent tax resistance."
Qin Luoshuang said: "There is no tax evasion in Changshan County."
The man with golden silk was not interested in talking any more and was about to issue an ultimatum when suddenly, three armored trucks drove over from the other side of the road.
They were not fast and obviously had no intention of attacking the team.
After getting closer, the armored trucks collectively turned and reversed.
Immediately, several staff members jumped down and opened the back door of the armored car.
With a loud crash, the empire's banknotes poured out, drowning everyone's thoughts like a flood.
This is the money for three whole trucks!
Several specially invited radio reporters let out heart-wrenching screams and immediately turned the camera around. They frantically adjusted the focus, jumped up and down to find various angles, and they wished they could fly into the ocean of money with their cameras.
Qin Luoshuang said calmly, "This is 571 million in cash, Changshan County has paid off all the unpaid taxes."
How does it feel to have more than 500 million yuan in cash hit your face?
Even as senior tax officers of the Imperial Taxation Bureau, they had never felt this before.
The gold-rimmed man's face was completely pale, but his eyes were wide open, almost bigger than his gold-rimmed glasses.
All the tax collectors around him put down their guns and stared at the ocean composed of countless fantastic objects.
Only an inconspicuous tax officer at the very edge of the team looked panic-stricken. He looked around and seemed ready to do something several times, but gave up when he saw the radio reporter's camera.
At this moment, a chameleon-like guy had unknowingly approached the edge of the special car.
His lower body is the same light gray as the ground, and his upper body is the same white as the special car, but these colors are exaggerated, like light and shadow cast on his body.
Any normal person could see through this disguise, but the tax collectors were so numb to the money that they had no reaction at all.
Suddenly, he jumped up and rushed forward like lightning. Before anyone could react, he grabbed a tax collector by the neck.
With a click.
His neck was broken instantly.
His hand, which had reached into his clothes, also dropped down.
It was only at this moment that the tax officer reacted. The man with the golden hair shouted, "Who are you?"
With a loud bang, dozens of guns were raised at him. The light and shadow on the man disappeared, revealing his true face. He was a man wearing a black silk hood. He had a well-proportioned figure and casual movements. He didn't look like an agent at all.
Qin Luoshuang looked him over from head to toe with a professional eye, thinking, "Is this a Dragon Group agent? Why is he as casual and unfocused as that idiot?"
The agents also gathered their attention and looked at the agent from the secret service department of the legendary county magistrate Zhili.
The man ignored the black muzzle of the gun. He laughed loudly, but immediately started coughing and said in a deliberately hoarse voice, "Fools, I saved all of your lives, do you know that?"
He reached out and pulled out something that looked like a black box from the man's arms, and said in a hoarse voice, "You almost got blown to death, you know?"
The man with gold hair pushed up his glasses and said, "Special anti-interference detonator?"
His expression suddenly changed: "Bomb? Is this a bomb?"
The man in black silk stockings laughed and said, "How clever."
He casually threw the detonator onto the corpse and said, "I'm an ordinary staff member of the Dragon Team, a secret service unit known as the invincible one, led by the handsome, tall, and powerful County Chief Lin. My main job is to guard the water dispenser and pour water for the truly powerful."
"When I came out to move the buckets, I happened to see this filthy fellow plotting something bad, so I came over and knocked him down, saving you guys. Do you understand?"
The man with gold silk stockings felt as if he was listening to a divine book, but this man with black silk stockings could sneak up on them and kill one of them instantly without them noticing. He was definitely not an ordinary agent.
The most important thing is that he can accurately find the person carrying the bomb, and this ability makes him have to believe his words.
"Go check it out."
The man with golden hair shouted.
Several tax officials went up and carefully opened the black box, immediately revealing the complex wiring inside. They looked up and said, "It's a Beetle bomb, and it's still sending signals."
Qin Luoshuang's expression changed, and she suddenly shouted, "There's still a bomb in the car!"
Everyone's faces changed, and they were about to disperse when Qin Luoshuang hurriedly shouted again: "The person controlling the signal has been cut off. It's safe."
The man with the golden hair said unhappily, "Chief Lin, could you please finish your words in one go and stop panting?"
Qin Luoshuang felt a little embarrassed. Suddenly, Lin Wen's voice rang in her ears again: "I have found the agents outside. There is no danger now."
But when he looked around, he didn't see Lin Wen and didn't know where the voice came from.
Qin Luoshuang subconsciously lifted her hair, but immediately realized that she was now County Magistrate Lin. She lowered her hand and coughed, "Sorry, please go and dismantle the bomb quickly. I think you should report this matter to your superiors immediately."
The man with the golden silk had a gloomy expression on his face and said solemnly, "I understand."
The tax officers immediately stepped forward and quickly found the bombs in the cars. The bomb in the first car was under the back seat, the bomb in the second car was in the chassis, and the bomb in the third car was in the rear cargo box.
With years of tax collection experience, the tax collectors quickly dismantled the bombs. They found that the combat part inside was a powerful nitro-octadecene explosive. The total weight of the four bombs was 80 kilograms, and the effective killing range was at least 200 meters.
Once it explodes, they will all turn to ashes.
The man with the golden silk had a gloomy expression. With a wave of his hand, the tax officer took photos of all the evidence and preserved them. Then he turned and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate Lin. I will definitely report this to my superiors, but business is business. Please allow me to count the money."
Qin Luoshuang smiled and said, "Please do as you please."
The tax officials finally returned to their duties, brought out more than a dozen money counting machines, and began counting money frantically.
But with more than a dozen money counting machines, it would take several days to count all the 591 million yuan in cash.
This time it was cash that was urgently transported. There were very few of the largest denomination notes in the empire, and most of them were the commonly used 100-denomination notes, totaling more than 5 million.
With so much cash, the local banks are bleeding, but this is a mandatory order directly issued by the county governor, and it has to be completed.
So, they all went out and almost emptied the cash from more than a dozen banks in nearby towns before urgently transporting it over.
The staff from the Finance Department also came out to help, and they moved out a hundred money counting machines in one go.
For a moment, the whole place was filled with the whirring sounds of money counting machines, and the scene was spectacular.
The roads on both sides of the County Hall have been closed and the scene is under strict security. After all, it would be bad if someone took advantage of such a large amount of money.
The windows upstairs in the County Hall were filled with people watching the excitement, but it was a rare sight that only happened once in a century.
Qin Luoshuang came here specially to contact the man in black stockings. She had already confirmed that this man was Lin Wen, but her conclusion was overturned just now.
"What's your name?"
Qin Luoshuang looked at him, and her instinctive habits began to take effect. She tried to find his weakness and control him. This was the most basic way for the family to train agents.
The man in black stockings smiled and said, "My name is Mumu."
Qin Luoshuang's face darkened. "I am your Zhili commander, and Commander Lin obeys my orders. Why don't you bow to me when you see me?"
The man in black stockings scratched his head. This action was exactly the same as Lin Wen's, but Qin Luoshuang thought that this might be because the idiot neglected management and passed on his own free and easy style to the Dragon Group.
As a spy organization, this is absolutely fatal. She was about to severely reprimand the agent and help him correct his style, when suddenly Lin Wen's voice came to her ears again.
"Send Agent Mumu to support me. I'm in danger."
Qin Luoshuang immediately became nervous and said hurriedly, "Mumu, go help County Chief Lin. He's in some trouble."
The man in black stockings saluted casually and then flew away.
Judging from their speed, they are indeed top-notch experts, but their internal discipline is too lax and without strict management constraints, the secret service department is the most prone to accidents.
Qin Luoshuang made up her mind that she would persuade Lin Wen when he came back, and if he couldn't do it, she would help him.
In the distance where Qin Luoshuang couldn't see, Lin Wen finally pulled off the black silk hood on his head.
Fortunately, I had [Thousand Mile Sound Transmission], otherwise I would have been exposed.
【Thousand Miles Sound Transmission】
A green spell for the Qi training period, consuming 10% of the spirit, transmitting the sound to a designated distant place. The distance is related to the caster's cultivation level. It lasts for 16 hours in this world's time and can be interrupted.
Using a spell, he could transmit his voice directly to Qin Luoshuang's ears, just like the legendary secret voice transmission.
Lin Wen had long known the specific operator of the bomb through [Asking Yu Tian]. There was one in the team, and there was another remote controller hidden outside just in case.
Lin Wen first went to kill the remote controller, then came back to kill the suicide bomber, and the first half of the plan was completed.
Since he knew the key information, [Asking the Way from Heaven] had the lowest consumption, and coupled with the reduction of the Tao's natural laws, even though he used so many spells, his spirit still had 61%.
It is definitely enough to complete the most critical step of the plan.
Lin Wen has no habit of handing over more than 500 million in cash.
This is hard-earned money that I finally got back.
Not a cent less.
