Chapter 634: Truth and Conspiracy (2)

According to the transaction volume statistics of the Thieves Guild, after large-scale conflicts broke out in the city, the purchase of demon fire and other potions increased several times. Due to the crazy purchases by radicals, a large amount of private funds flowed into the pockets of these gutter rats.

It is written in black and white, there is no doubt about the fact, but the question is, the secret whistle mentioned in the thieves union's ledger that the tolls are increasing every day, where did the money taken by those people go?

In order to solve this problem, George took out an account book he carried with him from the bundle of "pork" on the ground. After flipping through it for a while, George discovered the "similarities" in the accounts -

"On the 25th, the trade union paid 240 gold coins for land tax; on the 27th, the trade union paid a supplementary land tax of 340 gold coins; on the 29th, the trade union submitted a commercial tax of 1,280 gold coins; on 3 On the 11th, the union paid back the head tax of 2,800 gold coins..."

"City Lord White, as far as I know, other unions were busy organizing protest groups in those days and had no time to spend money, let alone pay taxes. However, the taxes of 'a certain union' in this official account book were actually paid by the Thieves Union. The time and amount of tolls are all right.

"Ha! The Thieves Guild! You dirty ditch rats have finally been caught by our Elder George! Elder George, don't believe what these ditch rats say! An organization like this that has no bottom line for money, I You won’t believe even a single punctuation mark!”

"As for my Financial Officer Anthony, was he kidnapped? Elder George, thank you for rescuing him. I assure you that no matter what strange objects the robbers put on him or forced him to say If I do anything against my will, I will settle accounts with the robbers afterwards!"

Lord White's method of sophistry was simple but very effective, that is, he refused to acknowledge everything George said. This move even blocked the mouth of the fiscal officer who fell to the ground and had not yet spoken.

There is a proverb among the elves: You can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep. However, City Lord White has not yet realized that there are some things that he cannot deny at all——

"As expected of you, City Lord White. Let's change the topic and talk about the trigger of this incident. Are our elven priests really so partial to only treating priests who believe in the Illuminati?"

George's right hand shook the twin crystals he took out from the space ring, and a colorful image was projected from the crystal:
