Du Dian was surprised, and followed into the living room.
Apart from Gray, there were two figures in the living room. One was an obese middle-aged man with a full belly, wearing three or four gold rings on his fingers. He looked rich at first glance. The other was a skinny man in black gentleman's clothes. Suit, hair neatly combed, like a nobleman.
"Grey, pay attention to your attitude!" When Du Dian walked in, he just heard the scolding of the thin man.
Gray clenched his fists tightly, looked at him angrily, and said, "We bought this house, and the taxes here have long been clearly written in the contract. It is simply illegal for you to raise the production tax. !"
The obese middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Illegal? You are a little tailor, what laws do you know? The entire Linkang Street is my territory. In my territory, what I say is the law, even if you There is no suing to the court, and I welcome you to go at any time."
Gray gritted his teeth and said, "You guys are robbing!"
"Hmph, you are slandering, slandering, and you have personally attacked me, I can sue you!" the skinny man said coldly.
At this time, Jula looked at Gray, who was blushing, and hurried to hold his hand, and said to the obese middle-aged man, "Give us some time to discuss this matter, we really can't afford such a high tax. "
The obese middle-aged man said indifferently: "You are still sensible, but I have given you a few days. Today is the last day. I will come back tonight. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer." Twitching the neckline, holding his head up slightly, he walked in front of Gray.
"Wait a minute." At this moment, a figure stood in front of him, it was Du Dian.
"Huh?" The obese middle-aged man lowered his head, looked at Du Dian whose head only reached his chin, frowned and said, "Little guy, who are you?"
At this time, Gray also noticed Du Dian, saw his completely changed appearance, and said in astonishment: "Dean? You, you are back?"
Du Dian nodded slightly, then looked up at the obese middle-aged man, and said: "I think it's hard work for you to run back and forth, so it's better to talk to each other at once, and we don't like being visited by people too much. disturb."
The obese middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Little guy, you are quite sensible. I heard that Gray has an adopted child. Is that you?"
Du Dian did not answer him, but continued: "First of all, according to Article 6 of Chapter 3 of the Land Law, anyone who buys land and real estate at one time must pay the property tax and rent in one go. It can be seen that uncles and aunts When buying this house, the expenses have been paid in full, otherwise the real estate certificate of this house will not be obtained, then the problem will come."
"In the seventh subsection of Chapter Four of the Law, all ownership rights and taxes of the house belong to the owner of the house, and only the lord of the house has the right to take it back."
Du Dian looked at him and said: "You said that the entire Linkang Street is your territory? Can you see your territory certificate? Even if you want to collect taxes, you still need to go to the court to show your territory under the witness of the priest. Is it possible to obtain a tax contract with the certificate of lordship?"
The obese middle-aged man couldn't help being stunned.
The thin man who followed him was stunned for a moment, his face darkened, and he said, "Little guy, what nonsense are you talking about, the lord's certificate is what you want to see?"
Du Dian looked up at him, and said calmly: "If you can't show the lord's certificate, please leave and don't bother again, otherwise, I will arrest you for the crime of harassing the residents!"
Hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.
The thin man reacted and laughed loudly: "Arrest me? Little guy, I think you are young and ignorant. You continue to talk nonsense. Be careful and I will send you directly to the guards."
"You don't need to give it away, I am." Du Dian took out the guard medal with swords and swords, and said indifferently: "Just based on what you said just now, I can sue you for slandering the guards and arrest you! As for the crime, Let me think about it, it is recorded in the seventh article of the law that maliciously slandering the nobles will be sentenced to three years in prison, slandering the guards will be sentenced to two years in prison, and attacking the guards will be sentenced to death!"
"Which one do you want?" Du Dian looked up at the two of them.
The obese middle-aged man and the thin man stared at the guard medal, their eyes widened, their faces full of disbelief, and they were already speechless.
Seeing the familiar medal, the Jura couple couldn't help being stunned. They quickly remembered the purpose of Du Dian's three-year training. They looked at each other and saw the excitement and surprise in each other's eyes. They didn't expect Du Dian to really succeed!
"You, are you a guard?" The obese middle-aged man was still in disbelief. This was the first time he had seen such a small guard.
Du Dian said indifferently: "Are you questioning me?"
The obese middle-aged man shook his head quickly. Although he felt incredible, he still recognized the medal. Moreover, impersonating a guard is a serious crime, not as simple as beheading and executing him.
"It's the first time I've seen such a small... so young and promising guard." The fat middle-aged man laughed dryly.
Du Dian said flatly: "This only shows that you are not a real lord. There are many guards like me. Before they reach the age of 16, they will first join the noble guards to practice. After they reach the age, Only then will they be transferred to guard the "Boundary Wall" and the giant wall. "The "wall of boundaries" he said refers to the high wall separating each area. Among the nobles, it is called "the wall of the rich and the poor."
The obese middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed, and said: "I, I am really the lord of this place. My grandfather was once a great knight, and he was granted this territory, but..." At this point, he felt a little resentful, and didn't say any more .
"It's just that this territory was granted to your grandpa knight by the nobleman, and he is no longer here, so the territory has lost its legitimacy and has been taken back. Of course, maybe the nobleman forgot to take it back, so you continue to use the lord's Self-identity." Du Dian said indifferently: "But this is illegal, I think, if you disappear immediately, I can consider not to pursue it."
The fat middle-aged man and the skinny man looked at each other, and immediately bent over and said: "Then we will leave first." After speaking, he moved away from Du Dian and left as if escaping.
Not long after, the carriage outside the door roared away amidst the severe pain of the whip.
Du Dian just looked up at the Jula couple. They haven't seen each other for three years. The corners of their eyes are slightly wrinkled. Counting their ages, they are already thirty. In this world, the concept of thirty years old is the same as the five About ten years old.
Only then did the Juras come back to their senses and looked at Du Dian in amazement. Unexpectedly, the troubles that had caused them a lot of trouble before were resolved in just a few words by Du Dian. Gray said happily: "Have you graduated successfully? You are indeed my son. Haha, I never thought that my child, Gray, would become a guard. Tomorrow, I will go to the factory and talk to the workers to make them envious. .”
Jula gave him a blank look, smiled and stroked Du Di'an's hair, and said, "Your child is so tanned, you must have had a hard time in the past three years."
Du Dian smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing, but I won't be able to stay for long when I come back this time. I will go on a mission in a few days, so I can't stay with you any longer."
Jula froze for a moment, "A mission? What mission? Is it dangerous?"
"No danger, don't worry."
"Yes, that's good."
Gray laughed and said, "What danger can there be in being a guard? It's nothing more than wandering around with the nobles. Now that the Holy See has shelter, those evil demons dare not show their faces."
Jula said angrily, "I'm just afraid of what happens!"
Gray smiled and shook his head without saying anything.
That night, Jula prepared a sumptuous dinner for Du Dian to celebrate Du Dian's return and becoming a guard. After the dinner, Du Dian said to the two of them: "Auntie, I want to borrow some money, this time it's a bit much."
Zhu La smiled and said, "What do you want to borrow from us? How much do you want?"
"Ten silver coins." Du Dian thought for a while. The money should be enough to buy a lot of black powder raw materials. After all, he will go outside the giant wall next time. In case of any danger, he should have something to defend himself.
