Chapter 47 - 37 Dream Creation Skill
It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and close neighbors are not as good as people living across the street.
Xu Qing took out eight strings of cash, four of which were from Wu Yaohua, and as for the other four...
He had long taken advantage of the tax collector’s transfer of property, using the Thousand Shadows Stealing Skill and the Yang Pei Technique to steal two booklets issued by the Celestial Heart Sect.
Xu Qing’s technique was fast; in the blink of an eye, he pulled out the booklets from his bosom and handed them to the leading tax collector.
"These two booklets, one was thrown into my yard by a rogue from the Celestial Heart Sect, the other was found at the doorstep of the Incense and Candle Shop across the street. No need for you officials to waste your words and effort; these extra four strings of cash can be considered as the joint fine paid by me and the owner of the Incense and Candle Shop."
The leading tax collector raised his chin, contemplating what more to say, when Xu Qing took out an additional two taels of silver.
"The Celestial Heart Sect deceives people, causing great harm. These two taels are my extra contribution to help eradicate the rogue sect members."
Seeing the silver and hearing such noble words, the tax collector’s expression softened immediately.
"Look here, this is what I call understanding righteousness and knowing the essentials. This is how the citizens of Dayong should be!"
The officials saw the money, and like cats and mice sleeping together, they left in harmony.
