Section 76 Tax Exemption Storm

  Back home, she huffed and puffed as she told her mother and grandfather about what had happened, then indignantly said: "This aunt of mine is simply a typical ingrate!"

  They've never seen me so furious before, even when I was sealed away back then, I was still smiling, but now I'm this angry!

  "Hey! Son, why are you so angry over such a small thing?" Mom said.

  "It's nothing, is it? Shouldn't I be angry with her? And what about my aunt? Even if someone who doesn't care about me receives so many benefits from me, they should at least speak up for me! Now all these things worth over 10 million are gone, fed to the dogs!"

  "Shut up! What nonsense are you talking about!" Grandpa saw that I was saying more and more unpleasant things, so he hastily stopped me, saying: "Has she helped you little? How many times have you gotten into trouble and she hasn't helped you bear the consequences?"

  "What about this time?"

  "Look who's talking!" Mother laughed: "Which noble can have a territory with an annual output of tens of millions? At most, the annual income of the five major families' territories is only around ten million! With such a territory, you still don't want to pay taxes? What a beautiful idea! Do you want to rebel?"

  "Damn it! When he gave me the territory, what was going on there did you guys not know?"

  "We also know that's the only place you can handle! Who else can stand there except for your special identity?" Mom said, "If we weren't confident, we wouldn't have called you to go! The king still has to give some face!"

  "But isn't permanent tax exemption what he promised?"

  "He didn't know you were so formidable, did he? At that time, it would have cost the kingdom a lot of money to lose. He thought you could at most just stabilize the situation there and not make or lose any money, and of course, he wouldn't dare ask for your taxes again!" Mother said

  "Let's not mention him, even I didn't think you'd be so formidable. In just half a year, you've earned tens of millions and even acquired a city with a population of 200,000. It's simply unbelievable?" Grandfather said with a smile.

  "It's nothing!" The poor Taoist humbly said: "I first killed all the worms there, then sent a letter to Jianwei Xin, attracting the alliance of the alien tribe. With the strong support of Mother's Chamber of Commerce and Father's Qinglong Iron Cavalry, the face of Grandma, Grandpa and others is also crucial, so it didn't take much effort to open up the situation."

  "Haha! Now that it's open, don't be stingy with those few gold coins!" Grandfather advised: "After all, the country is not rich either. If you have to pay hundreds of millions in taxes every year, then our country can do many more things!"

  "Right!" Mom also said: "Others pay taxes, and if you're the only exception, it's easy to isolate yourself. Those jealous guys will stir up trouble everywhere, which is not good for anyone!"

  "Hmm!" I'm reluctant to part with my wealth! "Let me think about it and I'll say later!"

  After finishing speaking, he bid farewell and went back to sleep.

  At night, Xianya and Weina discussed this issue in front of the table.

  "What's he got that makes him think he can just demand things? What's his trick? If you don't like it, let's fight, what's there to be afraid of?" Vina shouted.

  "They are kings with armies!" Xianya laughed and said: "How can we defeat them?"

  "Hmph! No way, I'll call Mom over, how many troops does she need to take down?" Vina said disdainfully.

  "Right! Your words reminded me! A great man, even I admire, once said - 'Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun!' How insightful! Too insightful!" The poor Taoist smiled and said, "Who am I afraid of now? With just the Crazy Warriors, I can mobilize an army of tens of millions. And I can also mobilize 1W Spirit People's mage troops. With them, even if the four major field armies of the Great Han Empire were to come at me together, they wouldn't be a match. Not to mention the friendship of the Dragon Clan that I haven't used yet, Xian Ya's summoning card, and my ability to summon Kris Tina's dragon scales are all powerful killing tools. If they dare to force me, I won't hesitate to use them all!" The poor Taoist still had some unspoken calculations in his heart, with the treasures from 'Buddha's Golden Lotus', escaping and self-preservation wouldn't be a problem at all!

  "But we're in the imperial capital now!" Xianya said

  "Haha! Have you forgotten about Gai Zhi? He can turn this entire place into ruins by himself!"

  "But!" Xianya wanted to say

  "Don't worry, I'll just use him as a scapegoat, I won't really take action. I'm a kind-hearted person after all!" The poor Taoist interrupted her saying:

  "Yes! Young master is the best!" Xianya looked at me with a face full of admiration, making my vanity feel slightly satisfied again.

  Nothing happened tonight! (Maybe something specific did happen... everyone can imagine for themselves!)

  The next morning, a servant came to report: The Queen summoned!

  The poor Taoist was still in a bad mood from yesterday, too lazy to move, so he just practiced some fist and footwork, did some qigong exercises, and then enjoyed a delicious breakfast specially made by him. He said to the servant: "Tell Wang Hou that I'm busy packing up my stuff and don't have time to see her!"

  "Ah!" The palace guard's face turned green with rage! "How dare you!"

  "Get out of here quickly!" The poor Taoist shouted

  "You just wait!" He stormed off.

  "Tell Pirodo to guard the gate and I won't see whoever comes!" After giving the order, the poor Taoist went off to enjoy himself!

  Pilu's ability is pretty good, and he won me two hours of free time. In these two hours, he knocked down several groups of people who came to find me, even blocking the ones sent by my mom, until finally my mother and the queen came in person, and only then did he back down!

  Two furious women came in when I had already put everything away and was sitting on the chair, leisurely tasting tea.

  "Off you go, young one! Is this how busy you are?" The queen coldly sneered.

  "Your Majesty! Mother, you've come! Please sit down!" The poor monk stood up and said with a smile.

  They didn't dare to say more seeing me like this, so they sat down in a huff. I ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked in a cold tone: "What brings the two of you here?"

  "Enough of your nonsense! I sent for you, why didn't you come?" Queen Wang said angrily.

  "Busy!" The poor Taoist said bluntly.

  "Ah!" The queen was exasperated: "What are you busy with? Is this what you call being busy?"

  "Hurry up and pack your things and get out of here!" The poor Taoist said coldly.

  "Xiao Wu! You're really something! The people under you even blocked me!" Mom quickly changed the subject.

  "Hehe!" The poor Taoist said with a pleased smile: "They don't understand things, so don't mind them!"

  I'm doing this to let them know that I have a group of people at my disposal, and it's a show of force! My mother knows about it, but she's actually more pleased than angry. What mother doesn't want her child to make a good name for themselves? That's exactly why I dared to do this!

  "Xiao Wu, I know you're angry with your aunt!" Queen Wang suddenly said: "But what you're doing now is also too much of a loss of face for me!"

  "You treat me like a nephew, so I naturally give you face. I suppose it's already apparent from those gifts?"

  "Oh!" Mentioning the gift, she herself knew she was in the wrong!

  "Alright, we're all family, don't say things that hurt each other's feelings!" Mom hastily said: "We came to find you this time for your own good?"

  "Go ahead!"

  "What was the meaning of what you said when you left yesterday? Do you know that the king didn't sleep all night and even smashed things in front of his ministers!" The queen shouted: "You are simply rebelling!"

  "Hum! You forced us to rebel!"

  "Ah!" The queen shouted: "How did we force you?"

  "Be careful what you say, Xiaowu!" Mom chimed in: "We're all doing this for your own good!"

  "Hum! Exiling a child of mine for thousands of miles, is that for my own good?"

  "Who told you to stir up so much trouble, and one after another is bigger than the last!" Although Queen Wang said this, her tone was much softer.

  "Are the over 10,000 bandits lying in ambush on that road also for my own good?"

  "This has nothing to do with the king at all!" The queen retorted.

  "But I was still ambushed by over 10,000 people in the imperial capital!"

  "That's unexpected! Besides, aren't you fine?"

  "Hum! Unexpected? How many of my predecessors died unexpectedly? All were unexpected? He was clearly using someone else's knife to kill!"

  "Nonsense! Aren't you doing well now?" Wang Hou's voice was weak. "And he even exempted your taxes, didn't he?"

  "Hum! Dead men don't pay taxes, that's what he thought at the time!"

  "You've misunderstood him too deeply, you can ask your mom! The king wouldn't do such a thing!"

  "En!" The mother bowed her head and thought for a moment before saying to Wang Hou: "I think it's not unreasonable either!"

  "How dare you talk nonsense! Forget it, I won't bother with you anymore!" The queen said angrily: "Anyway, the king's order has been issued now. If you dare to kill the tax officer, the kingdom will not let you off! You're on your own!"

  "Haha! Since that's the case! Auntie, please go ahead and tell that idiot! His tax officer won't be able to set foot in my territory alive. As for his reaction, I couldn't care less. The four major field armies plus the Royal Guard Army are nothing in my eyes!" The poor Taoist sneered: "Send him off!"
