United states tax collector

"Okay, this trial is over!"

Ivli did not give Smollett a chance to defend himself and directly declared the end of the trial.

In the gallery, Yates turned to the two police chiefs in the east and west of the city and angrily yelled: "You two bastards, get out of here!"

At this time, other officials in the city hall also looked at the two men with fierce expressions.

Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, they can only vent their anger on the two of them, intending to use this to vent their anger.

But surprisingly, although Randolph and Lancelot came over as ordered, they looked confident.

"You two rip-off bastards, please submit your resignation to our city hall immediately!"

As soon as Yates's words came out, the other city hall officials showed no objection and were obviously on his side.

Randolph said unhurriedly: "Deputy Mayor Yates, the reason why we cooperate with the IRS is because there is nothing we can do about it, because if we don't cooperate, we will be the ones standing in the dock now. I hope City Hall can understand…”

"Deputy Mayor Yates, gentlemen of the City Hall, what Director Randolph said is what I want to say, but I must remind you that we have just finished cooperating with the IRS. What will the IRS think if I submit my resignation to you? , what would Chief Tax Officer David think?"

Lancelot also added.

The main reason why they are so confident is that they have the relationship with the IRS to rely on. In addition, with the examples of Beecher and Adelaide, I believe these people will not dare to do anything to them.

Otherwise, who will dare to appear in court to testify for the IRS in the future?

And if we punish them, it will be equivalent to slapping the IRS in the face in public!

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Yates and other city hall officials suddenly reacted.

yes.

It is easy to deal with Randolph and Lancelot, but they have just cooperated with the IRS. If they immediately retaliate now, wouldn't it be clear that they will not give the IRS face?

Before anyone could say anything else, Cecil turned around and left.

But Yates and others had no choice but to glare at Randolph and the others, and then left immediately.

…

"Taxmaster David!"

Here, David, Hopkinson, Richards and others were walking out of the door of the courtroom and preparing to take the elevator down, when they suddenly heard a shout from behind.

Turning around, he saw a man with thick eyebrows and a high nose.

Through Goldfinger's inspection, David instantly learned his identity. He turned out to be the director of the Chengdong Branch of the IRS.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the director of the Chengdong Branch. Just call me Mendez!"

Mendes came over and extended his right hand.

"Hello, Director Mendez."

David also extended his hand and shook the other person's hand.

"Tax Commissioner David, this case was handled beautifully. I wonder what happens next... is there anything we need help from our Chengdong Branch? We are very willing to help!"

The two officials Adelaide and Beecher were sent to prison this time, which not only gave the West City Branch a huge reputation, but also, more importantly, a huge amount of taxes.

The combined taxes of those two people amounted to more than 700,000 yuan. Yesterday, the Chengxi Branch recorded another sum of more than 300,000 yuan. You don't need to think about it to know that David must have played an important contribution in it.

All added up, that’s millions of dollars in taxes.

Mendes would be lying if he said he was not envious of such a huge amount of tax.

On the contrary, he felt extremely sore in his heart now, and he was beating his chest because David did not go to their east branch, but to the west branch.

As for what he said now, he was actually hinting at David.

That’s what the Chengxi Branch can do for you, and our Chengdong Branch can definitely do it too, as long as we can get such a tax amount!

"I'm not talking about Chief Mendez, what do you mean? If Chief David needs anything done by your Chengdong Branch, he will naturally come to you!"

Before David could reply, Hopkinson and Richards on the side became anxious.

First of all, the east and west bureaus in the city are originally in a competitive relationship.

Secondly, just as Mendes thought, with David's help, their west branch office has not only received huge taxes but also gained a huge reputation. It can be said that they have made a lot of money.

They also hope that David can continue to lead their west branch to fly in the future. Now your east branch wants to come and steal people?

"Don't be anxious, Director Hopkinson. I'm just looking to see where I can cooperate with Commissioner David. After all, it's all for the sake of our IRS tax revenue."

Mendez was not in a hurry because he knew there was no need to argue with Hopkinson. He mainly wanted to see David's stance.

"If you have a chance, Director Mendez, let's take a look at the next follow-up."

This time it was David's turn to speak first.

After hearing this, Mendes' expression immediately changed, while Hopkinson and Richards showed a hint of anxiety.

"Director Hopkinson, Commissioner Richards, let's go out first and inform the media about this matter!"

"Yes, let's go then!"

Hopkinson was also afraid that if David and Mendes continued to chat, David would be 'abducted' by the other party, so he quickly took David into the elevator.

At the entrance of the first floor, media reporters and citizens watching Sparks were still anxiously waiting for the outcome of the trial to be announced.

At this time, a sharp-eyed reporter in the field seemed to have noticed something and shouted: "The trial is over, they are coming out!"

As soon as the words fell, the reporters, who were still lazy at first, immediately picked up their microphones, and the cameramen also pointed their cameras in the direction of the door.

Not long after, David, Hopkinson Richards and others came out.

"Director Hopkinson, is the trial over?"

"Chief Hopkinson, what was the outcome of the trial? Were Director Adelaide and Deputy Mayor Beecher successfully convicted?"

"Taxmaster David..."

Faced with numerous media inquiries, Hopkinson made a gesture of pressing down with both hands.

After everyone calmed down, he said: "The trial is over. After the trial, Adelaide and Beecher were found guilty of tax evasion and sentenced to 1,200 years in prison!"

"1200 years!!!"

The media and the watching citizens were already shocked when they heard that the crime was found guilty.

But when they heard the latter sentence and was sentenced to 1,200 years in prison, their jaws dropped.

Everyone knows that the IRS has always been known for its severe penalties for tax evasion, but this time, I really didn't expect that it would be so severe and he was sentenced to 1,200 years.

"Director Hopkinson, Beecher and Adelaide are just evading taxes. Isn't such a harsh punishment a bit too harsh?"

A reporter asked immediately after recovering from the shock.

Hopkinson replied with a serious face: "Beecher and Adelaide, as highly educated public officials, actually chose to conceal the tax amount even though they knew the regulations of the Black Tax Act. It’s extremely huge, so the punishment is not harsh at all!”

The reporter asked again: "Director Hopkinson, since Beecher and Adelaide have confirmed tax evasion, are other officials in the city hall... also involved? Your Internal Revenue Service , will you continue to pursue it?”

"This is a good question, but I think it would be better if Tax Chief David could answer it for you!"

After Hopkinson finished speaking, the cameras and microphones on the scene all shifted to David.

David organized his language a little and said: "Our IRS has always had zero tolerance for tax evaders, especially public officials who know the law and break the law. Adelaide and Beecher are just the beginning. Next, we will We will continue to investigate this..."

At the same time, in the city hall, in the conference room.

Cecil and other city hall officials have all returned here and are watching David's interview on TV.

When they heard that Adelaide and Beecher were just starting to investigate, and the investigation would continue, a trace of fear flashed across the faces of many officials present.

Then David and the IRS were able to obtain evidence of tax evasion by Beecher and Adelaide, and even sent them in. If they were to be arrested, no one dared to guarantee that they would be safe.

You know, Beecher and Adelaide were sentenced to 1,200 years!

And it’s life without parole!

I can only end up in prison for the rest of my life.

Who can not be afraid of this?

"Mayor, I think it's better to cancel the strict crackdown order immediately. There's no need to be so tough anymore!"

At this time, an official present suggested.

"Yes, Mayor, at worst we won't be promoted to the state government, but it's better than being sent to jail!"

"I agree……"

"..."

As this official spoke out, other officials present also echoed his words.

As long as they give in, the matter will probably be solved.

After all, David's jurisdiction is not here, and he probably doesn't have that much energy to deal with them one by one.

And now they only punished Beecher and Adelaide, just to scare them.

Cecil's face turned around for a while, and finally he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the only way to do it!"

…

Carson City, Governor's Mansion.

At this time, Stevenson looked at the interview report on the TV screen, his face was extremely livid.

And Eugene, who was standing beside him, didn't look much better either.

They knew that if the IRS dared to arrest Beecher and Adelaide, they must be very confident.

But the IRS convicted these two people neatly and fine, and actually imposed such a severe punishment of 1,200 years.

This made the two of them feel that they had been slapped hard on the face.

After a while, Eugene said: "Governor, this David is obviously trying to scare the monkeys. The officials in Sparks City will definitely give in, and I guess the other 17 cities are also frightened now."

Stevenson gritted his teeth and said: "Call City 17 City Hall to appease them and tell them not to panic and stabilize their position. I don't believe that damn David, he can really mess with whoever he wants!"

"clear!"

…

Henderson is the second largest city in Nevada after Las Vegas.

At this time, an emergency meeting was also being held in the city's city hall.

"I believe everyone here has received the news about the 'big earthquake' in Sparks City. What do you think?"

Henderson Mayor Priestley looked at everyone present with a solemn expression.

"In 1200...the IRS's revenge is fierce!"

"This is obviously retaliation for our implementation of the state government's strict crackdown instructions. It is probably an attempt to scare the monkeys to show us!"

"Indeed, but what I have to say is that this David is quite capable. He went to Sparks without any notice and also brought in a deputy mayor and a police chief..."

Everyone present was talking a lot.

At this time, Priestley interrupted: "The question now is whether we should continue to implement the state bureau's strict crackdown instructions. If we continue to implement it, will David come to our city of Henderson? Take revenge on us?"

"It's hard to say..."

"Although he killed two Sparks City officials, as long as all of us here keep our hands and feet clean, there is no need to worry, right?"

"Sometimes clean hands and feet may not necessarily guarantee safety. When it comes to things like paying taxes and paying taxes, let's not talk about the black tax bill, but there are always some oversights. As long as they sincerely want to mess with us, there will always be something for them to catch..."

"..."

The people present were divided into two polarities. Some were worried about this, while others didn't care too much. They thought that no matter how powerful David was, he was just a human being and not a God. How could he catch them if he wanted to?

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Priestley's secretary walked in and handed over a phone: "Mr. Mayor, the governor's secretary, Mr. Eugene, is calling."

Priestley picked up immediately. Seven or eight minutes later, he seemed to have received some kind of promise, and then he said firmly to everyone present: "Ignore Sparks' matter, our strict crackdown instructions here remain unchanged!"

Hearing this, some worried people present frowned, but since the chief executive of the city hall had already made a conclusion, they could not continue to refute.

Except for the city of Henderson.

At the same time, 17 city halls in Nevada were also discussing the earthquake in Sparks.

But officials such as Las Vegas City Hall Saroyan felt extremely lucky.

Fortunately, like the 18 cities, they did not choose to implement the state government's strict crackdown instructions. Otherwise, they would definitely be the first to die.

After all, after David crossed the city and came to Sparks, he was able to cleanly cause such an official earthquake.

If you really want to get rid of these local city hall officials in Las Vegas, it will probably be even easier!

But it’s different from Las Vegas.

In the other 16 cities, many city hall officials were also shocked by this incident.

But after receiving a call from the state government, after some consolation and promises of various benefits, it was Xin Yiheng who chose to continue to implement the severe crackdown instructions.

Because they really don’t believe that David is really that powerful and can get on their heads!

Sparks City.

"Okay, Commissioner David, you made big news in Sparks without saying a word. This will definitely make many people sleepless."

"This is exactly what we want. Otherwise, how could they cancel the severe crackdown directive?"

"Okay, then you just watch the struggle. There is no need to worry about the bureau. Anyway, there are still so many days until the end of the assessment period."

"I understand, Director."

David has returned to the west branch of the city and informed William about what happened here.

After he put down the phone, Richards came over and said, "I just received the news that the city hall has canceled the strict crackdown instructions, and our black tax collection work can continue as usual!"

To be honest, he felt a little regretful that the city hall gave in so quickly.

He also imagined that David would continue to take action, clean up a few more officials, and get more tax results for their West City Branch.

But now it’s all in vain.

"That's good……"

David was not too surprised. If the severe punishment of 1,200 years could not deter those in the city hall, then their courage was probably made of water tanks.

Richards asked again: "Then what happens next...?"

David replied: "Check out the situation in City 17 for me and see how their city hall reacts!"

"no problem!"

after an hour.

Richards came to find David again and said: "We have checked that about the events in Beecher and Adelaide, 17 other cities have received the news, and many officials in their city halls have indeed received the news. I was shocked, but the result was that none of the 17 cities had any intention of canceling the crackdown order."

"oh?"

David was a little surprised.

Are the fates of Beecher and Adelaide, as well as the severe punishment of 1,200 years, not enough to deter the city halls of the other 17 cities?

It seems that these people are still taking chances and think that it is impossible for them to get into trouble with them!

In that case, don’t blame him for continuing his ‘killing spree’!

Seeing David's eyes gradually showing a fierce look, Richards also asked softly: "Tax Commissioner David, is there anything we need to do next from the West City Branch?"

"No, I'm going to go to Henderson next door!"

Upon hearing this, Richards was instantly disappointed. Since David was going to Henderson, there would be nothing to do with their west branch.

But soon, Richards seemed to have thought of something, and immediately asked: "Tax Commissioner David, since you are going to Henderson, do you have anyone acquainted with the IRS over there?"

"not yet."

Richards got excited and replied: "If not, let me recommend a tax chief to you. He is an old friend of mine for many years. His work is absolutely safe and reliable. You should be able to use it there!"

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

David didn't refuse and didn't refuse. Although he had a big killer like Goldfinger, after all, it was his territory, and he needed the help of the local IRS to complete a series of things.
