Chapter 401: Approaching
After listening to Xixi's words, Yu Fei didn't suspect anything, after all, this Dongling City has a large population, and it is impossible for him to know them all, and there is nothing wrong with what Xixi said.
"Miss Xixi is polite, she just fulfilled her responsibilities!" Yu Fei said politely.
Ke Xixi said: "For the captain, it's just a responsibility, but for the little girl, it saves my father's life, and my father said that no matter what happens this time, he will definitely repay the captain." ”
"Hehe, it's really not necessary, go back and say thank you to the old man, this is really a matter of the next class!" Yu Fei waved his hand and said, he found that today's people were too polite, and they seemed to be a little unaccustomed.
Ke Xixi was a little persistent, and continued: "Dad asked me to come over and follow the captain, be a little girl, and serve the captain, so the little girl will follow you." ”
Yu Fei was stunned: "This ...... It's completely unnecessary, Miss Xixi, you should hurry back and take care of the old man!"
"You just let the little girl follow you, and my father doesn't need me to take care of him, he is only in his forties, and he likes to do some small business, running around all day, anyway, I stay at home alone. As a result, Xixi did not relent.
Yu Fei was completely speechless, he had to look at Wang Lin with the eyes of asking for help, because the last time the girl was rescued by Yu Fei from the Qinglou, it was also the same situation, Wang Lin sent it away for him.
But this time, Wang Lin didn't see Yu Fei's eyes asking for help at all, but looked at Xixi in a daze, the corners of Yu Fei's mouth twitched, and he pinched Wang Lin without a trace.
"Whew......"
Wang Lin was pinched by Yu Fei coldly, startled, and subconsciously cried out, and then found that he was out of shape, and quickly covered his mouth.
After reacting, Wang Lin was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to drill down, and said to Yu Fei with a red face: "Yu ...... Captain Yu, that ...... The subordinates are derelict in their duties. ”
"What kind of dereliction of duty? Now there is no task, I said what are you looking at?" Yu Fei was even more speechless, this guy was fascinated?
"Giggles, who is this?" Xixi was amused by Yu Fei and Wang Lin, and laughed coquettishly, and then asked Wang Lin.
Yu Fei was just about to introduce, but Wang Lin preemptively said: "Wang Lin, the leader of the escort team, Miss Xixi is polite!"
"It turned out to be the leader of the king, the little girl had heard of your name before, and it was really a blessing for the little woman to see it today!" Xixi was polite to everyone, and greeted Wang Lin very politely.
As soon as Wang Lin heard that Miss Xixi had actually heard of his name, he felt that he was about to float, and his heart was so excited: "Ouch, Miss Xixi is too polite, she is just a small person below!"
Yu Fei really doesn't know what to say, this Wang Linzhong is very loyal, and he is also very effective in handling things, and he is relatively tactful, but he is too good a woman.
As long as he is more beautiful, he can't control himself, and the last time he saw Ru Yan, he was the same, but Ru Yan was more pitiful, so he still had some sense.
But now seeing this Xixi, Wang Lin is different, plus Xixi looks completely different from Ru Yan, Ru Xi is handsome and delicate, with a delicate beauty, which makes people want to pity.
And this Xixi is charming and beautiful, but when she speaks, she is polite, which makes people always look intimate, so Wang Lin is dumbfounded.
"Okay, Miss Xixi, you have to go back in the next place, you should go back quickly!" Seeing that the two of them were polite here again, Yu Fei knew that Wang Lin this time was probably unreliable, so he had to hurry up and send Xixi away.
But when Yu Fei turned to leave, Xixi followed directly, and Yu Fei turned around and said, "Miss Xixi, what are you...... Why bother?"
"Oh, the little girl is not on the battlefield, but follows Captain Yu, you can still enjoy the blessings, it's not difficult at all, Captain Yu, you just let the little girl follow you and serve you, but don't worry, if you think I'm not doing well at that time, drive me away again, okay?" Xixi looked like I wouldn't leave anyway.
Yu Fei didn't know what to say at all, but at this time, Wang Lin spoke: "Captain Yu, my subordinates feel that Miss Xixi is right, let her go back with us for the time being, if ......"
"Your sister!" Before he could finish speaking, Yu Fei kicked him directly, why did this guy's arm turn out?
Then he had to look at Xixi: "Alas, okay, since that's the case, you can follow me back for the time being!"
Seeing that he really can't drive away, Yu Fei can't help it, but think about it, when he goes to the escort team, he doesn't suffer hardship, it's just that it's easy to delay her, but as long as he finds an excuse later, saying that he can't do a good job, just drive her away, let her live her own life!
Walking along the way, there are still many residents, or street vendors, who are politely greeting Yu Fei, and even those other people who came in from outside the city, who didn't see that scene yesterday, have now heard about Yu Fei, and they all followed suit.
"Captain Yu!"
At this time, a team of subordinates came over and said hello to Yu Fei.
Yu Fei nodded: "It's hard work, what are you doing here?"
"Back to the captain, the subordinates and others are on the orders of Captain Qingyan to collect official taxes from various stalls, shops, etc.," the escort team said respectfully.
"Well, then you guys go get busy!" Yu Fei knew that their escort team had to collect taxes from these stalls or shops every month, which could be regarded as protecting them and collecting some protection fees.
But just as these people retreated, there were some small vendors next to them sighing: "Alas, the escort team has started to collect official taxes again, and this day is not easy again!"
"There's no way, people have protected the entire Dongling City, if we don't pay official taxes, who will protect us?" said another vendor, although he was also embarrassed, but still very understanding.
But the vendor just now said, "I understand the truth, but ...... This tax is too high, and sometimes our business is not good, and only a month's worth of business is enough to pay the official tax! It would be nice if it could be lower. ”
Although the voices of these vendors were very small, Yu Fei still heard something, and he was just about to leave, but he suddenly stopped and asked Wang Lin: "By the way, Wang Lin, how much official tax did Captain Qingyan collect from them in January?"
"This ...... The subordinates remembered that those shops were about ten to thirty spirit stones, after all, they were also collected according to the size of their business, and these small vendors only had five spirit stones per month!" Wang Lin immediately replied.
Because these horses are all in the hands of Captain Qingyan, and the more than fifty people in Yu Fei's hands are only patrolling the city, so he doesn't know how much the tax here is.
And in Penglai Immortal Island, their common currency is completely based on spirit stones, including those mortals, but everyone is still more flexible and will barter for things.
Yu Fei thought for a while, and then walked over to the two vendors who were talking just now, and when the two saw Yu Fei coming, they immediately stopped the conversation just now, and greeted: "Hello Captain Yu, see if there is anything you need?"
Yu Fei smiled at them and waved his hand: "I just want to ask the two of you, how much can you make in a month for doing a small business here?"
These two people are mortals, so the things they sell are also more common, and one of them hurriedly replied: "Back to the captain, this small business is not accurate, if it is good, there can be ten spirit stones in a month, but ...... If it's not good, it's only four or five spirit stones at most!"
Yu Fei was not surprised by this, after all, he also knew that mortals didn't need spirit stones at all, they earned spirit stones just to pay official taxes, and when it was not necessary, they all bartered with each other, such as selling vegetables for selling rice, etc., so as to make a living.
Hearing this, Yu Fei pondered for a while, and then said, "The official tax of five spirit stones in January is indeed a lot of pressure for you!"
"It's not Captain Yu, let's ...... Sometimes it's really hard to take it out, but then again, the guards in the city are also there to protect us, so everyone will try to hand it over if they can. The vendor said.
Yu Fei smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll go back and discuss with Captain Qingyan or the city lord to see if I can reduce your taxes a little!"
"Huh......? Captain Yu, this is simply wonderful!" Upon hearing this, the vendors were immediately excited, and it seemed that they really couldn't afford such an official tax.
Yu Fei didn't say anything more, and then took Wang Lin and Xixi back to his residence, now he felt a little embarrassed, as soon as he walked to the street, he was greeted warmly by everyone, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
And the reason why he is willing to find a way to reduce taxes for these people is because he sees that everyone is so enthusiastic about him, because he can see that these people are completely grateful to themselves from the heart.
"Miss Xixi, you wait for me here, I have to go and ask Captain Qingyan for a room for you!" When he arrived at Yu Fei's backyard, he thought about Xixi's accommodation again, and planned to go to Captain Qingyan to ask for a room again.
But Xixi said: "Oh, I came to be a maid ring for you, what else do I need to live? ”
"How is this possible? Miss Xixi, don't make trouble!" Yu Fei had a black line on his face.
But he felt that something was wrong, even if this Xixi girl wanted to repay herself, she couldn't just live with her, right?
After feeling that something was wrong, Yu Fei slowly released his divine sense towards Xixi, intending to find out if she was a mortal.
And when Yu Fei released his divine sense, the corners of Xixi's mouth rose slightly, and he said secretly: "Just because you also want to detect this girl's breath, you just wait to be taken down by this girl, and then obediently follow me back to Black Eagle Castle!"
Yu Fei was strange, when he leaned over, he seemed to feel a strange aura, but it quickly disappeared, this feeling was like an illusion, and then, he increased his divine sense and probed to Xixi again!
