Old Wood was sitting in his study, looking at the parchment scroll sent by the butler with a livid face. [] The content recorded on the scroll was the territory's income report last month.
Compared with previous months, the income of Turley County has been reduced by almost half, and the various taxes paid by businessmen accounted for most of the decrease. Recently, there have been very few businessmen coming to Karachi. These
All the profit-seeking vampires went to Kent Town. It is said that the town that was almost deserted is now prosperous and has once again become the largest merchant distribution center in the eastern part of the kingdom.
Old Wood, whose income has dropped sharply, is very dissatisfied. With the increase in income in the territory some time ago, the Wood family has gradually become accustomed to a more luxurious life than before. Now that the income has suddenly decreased, it has become difficult to maintain that luxurious life.
.The so-called "It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality". This alone is enough to make Wood hate Roger to the bone. In addition, the things that happened between the two people before are not understandable to outsiders.
The conflict made Viscount Wood decide to drive Roger out of Kent completely.
"Gattuso, come in." The viscount stared at his confidant butler with a sinister look: "Inform Crow and let him start executing the Hexagram Plan!"
"Yes, sir!" Gattuso bowed and said, "I will inform the crow immediately."
"Also, let Fonka lead a group of people to Kent County and collect taxes from any pedestrians they meet." Wood said with murderous intent: "Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
After listening to Wood, Gattuso hesitated for a moment, and then carefully reminded: "Sir, what we do is against the laws of the kingdom. If we are discovered..."
"The same thing has been done last time. Didn't Roger dare not do anything to me?" Old Wood said disapprovingly: "This action is related to the survival of the territory. Just carry out my order!"
"Honor your order." Seeing Wood's resolute attitude, Gattuso said nothing and immediately left the study to do some work. A carefully planned conspiracy against Roger that could shake his entire territory had begun.
Roger had no idea about this. Ever since he broke through the last relationship with Bonnie, he had developed great enthusiasm for training that he was not very interested in before. He would drag the female knight into the secondary space of the castle for training every day.
"train".
Of course, what really interests Roger is the "relaxation activities" after training. As a knight with considerable strength, Bonnie can perform various difficult movements, which makes Roger amazed and never tired of it.
, every day I recall various actions from past love action movies, and have a great time communicating and discussing with the female knight.
Bonnie, who had just tasted sex between men and women, was also very knowledgeable. Not only was she able to fully cooperate with Roger in this matter, she even tried to take the initiative in many cases. This was in line with Bonnie's character of not admitting defeat, and it also made Roger
I'm very happy. For any man, it's a good thing to have such a partner.
On this day, the two "trained" again to their heart's content, and then reluctantly left the secondary space of the castle. The female knight could have fun when she was alone with Roger, but she returned to her original state when there were other people around.
With a calm and determined look, he quickly left to do his own business.
Roger stayed in the room chatting alone, thinking about whether to design a costume for Bonnie. Roger felt that with the character and figure of the female knight, a tight combat vest and small hot pants would be suitable for her to wear.
Absolutely very suitable, just like the heroine Lara Croft in Tomb Raider.
"Well... I have to trouble Linda lately." Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help but mutter to himself in a low voice, but he soon frowned, as if something irritating happened to him.
Since the tragedy in Shanglu Village, Roger has spent a lot of soul power and trained more than twenty hippogryphs, letting these pets patrol the skies in several important areas of the territory in shifts all day long. At this time, a hippogryph was
The situation of the beast's arrival made Roger a little confused. A group of heavily armed guys set up a roadblock at the intersection of the two main roads in Kent. They looked like a group of robbers who wanted to block the road and rob.
"You dare to rob on your buddy's territory. You look like you don't want to live anymore." Seeing this, Roger was furious. He immediately rushed out of the baron's palace, rode the fastest horse, and rushed to the intersection of the accident alone.
Thieves haunted the territory, robbing and destroying everywhere, destroying the peace and economy of the territory. They were the most hated group of people by the lord. Especially in a business-oriented place like Kent County, it goes without saying that the dangers of highway robbery are harmful.
Roger has decided that if he catches these guys, he must hang them all.
But at the same time, Roger also had some doubts. When did a group of human bandits appear in the territory? Although there were no bandits in Kent County before, they were all committed by orcs from the Golden Wasteland. Now there are actually humans joining this group.
For a group of people, apparently after the territory became rich, all kinds of troubles followed.
"It looks like we need to seize the time to train a guard team." Roger sighed inwardly, and then urged the horses to speed up and run forward.
One-eyed Huck directed his men to block the road with a few logs, and then patiently took the bait. He knew that this was one of the most important roads leading to Kent Town, and it wouldn't take long for him to gain something.
The fact was just as Huck had expected. Soon a caravan came slowly. When they reached the roadblock and Huck and others, the caravan's guards immediately became nervous and drew out their weapons to prepare for the attack.
"Are you a caravan heading to Kent Town?" Huck had no intention of taking action. He just stopped on the road and said carelessly: "I am the tax collector of Kent Town. I am responsible for collecting taxes from everyone here. Well, this is
My ID!”
As Huck spoke, he handed the forged identification certificate to the leader of the caravan. The other party took it dubiously, and after confirming that it was indeed stamped with the family crest of Baron Roger Lee, he relaxed and asked with some doubts: "
Didn’t taxes always be collected in the town before? Why were they collected halfway this time?”
"Oh, the lord has issued a new decree and the rules have changed." Huck boasted without changing his expression: "Actually, it's the same wherever you pay. Even if you pay in town, you can't pay less than half a copper."
"Haha, you are right." Although the caravan leader was still a little skeptical, he did not dare to doubt the tax officer's statement face to face. He could only ask with a smile: "Would you like to estimate the value of the goods first?"
"No, no, no!" Huck waved his hand and said, "There are five carts of goods in total. Just pay five hundred gold coins for each cart!"
