In the palace of Drum Island, Valpo, as the king, was lying on the sofa without any manners, and his courtiers not only did not remind him to maintain the etiquette posture that the emperor should have, but all of them were extremely flattering and waiting for him.

If the country has a faint king, there will be traitorous ministers.

At this moment, Valpo's most important courtier was reporting something to him.

"Your Majesty Valpo, this week's tax situation is not ideal, there are actually 328 households in the country that refuse to pay taxes, and their behavior is undoubtedly provoking you to the king!"

The courtier reported with emotion, just from his performance at the moment, he looked like a loyal minister who was worried about the country and the people.

"Since those guys are so ignorant, it would be nice to arrest them. ”

Valpo didn't care in the slightest, apparently this was not the first time he had made such a decision.

"His Royal Highness has made a wise decision! I have a suggestion that I hope His Royal Highness will accept. ”

The chief traitor of the Magnetic Drum Island Kingdom, the Minister of Finance, slowly walked out of the queue.

"If it's tied to my income, then speak up and listen. ”

Valpo was much more energetic than he had just been, as every time the Chancellor of the Exchequer made a proposal to him, his income had increased significantly.

"Your Highness, I think that you can sell those 328 families who oppose you to the slave traders, so that not only can you clear the hidden danger, but you can also use the money from selling them to make up for the loss of tax revenue. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer smiled sinisterly, he was sure that Valpo would accept his advice.

"Doesn't that sound good, but I remember that the slave traders who traveled to and from Drum Island didn't have much strength, so can you guarantee a good profit?"

How could the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who knew Valpo's thoughts very well, not do his homework beforehand, and he had already thought about how to answer Valpo's questions.

"Your Royal Highness, I have found a solution to this problem, a few days ago there was a slave trader named Marshall Ditch on the island, I came into contact with him once, and I am very sure that he is a powerful slave trader, and if I choose to trade with him, I can guarantee a good return. ”

Valpo rolled over and sat up, tapping his knees lightly with his fingers, and in a short time he made a decision.

"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, remember! I need to see the big reward you speak of afterwards. ”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer bowed respectfully to Valpo, a false smile on his face.

"As you wish, my majesty. ”

Valpo nodded in satisfaction, then twisted around and lay down on the large couch again.

The orders from Valpo soon reached the army system, and the king's army quietly set out, targeting the 328 households that refused to pay the huge taxes.

※※※----------------------------------------------------------

A couple dragged their tired bodies back to their homes, sensible children had already prepared hot water waiting for their return, and the family of three enjoyed this moment of happiness.

The door was violently kicked open, the cold wind and snow poured into the house, and the warm stove could not withstand the cold, and several heavily armed soldiers broke in.

"What are you going to do!"

The man at the head of the family keeps his wife and children behind, and he must protect his family, even in the face of soldiers who are several times his size.

"What are you doing? Now I'm arresting you for treason!"

As soon as the leading soldier finished speaking, the rest of the soldiers behind him began to act.

The man resisted hard, his teeth were knocked out, he didn't flinch, his arms were broken, he didn't flinch, and he fought to the end, even though he was covered in bruises, he still stood in front of his wife and children to protect them.

"This guy is really tough, but no matter how tough it is, he doesn't have to be beaten down. ”

A soldier spat out a mouthful of bloody spit.

"You bad people!"

The boy clenched his small fists and fearlessly rushed towards the nearest soldier, swinging his fist hard and slamming it into the other's body.

How can a child's fist pierce the cold and strong armor, the result is already obvious.

The moment the hand bones touched the armor, a sharp pain spread throughout the boy's young and thin body.

"Damn!"

After all, he was a child, and he couldn't bear this kind of pain at all, and tears flowed out of his eyes.

The soldier grabbed the boy by the collar and lifted him up, and with the other he pulled out the saber pinned to his belt.

The cold saber clung to the boy's face, and the soldier had a playful smile on his face.

"Don't hurt my kids!"

The woman frantically lunged at the soldier, but was knocked to the ground by another soldier halfway through.

"You crazy woman, just give me an honest look!"

Tugging at the woman's hair hard, he held her head in a position just enough to see her son's terrified face.

"Little bunny, you are very bold, so in recognition of your courage, should I leave you a badge representing bravery!"

The soldier kept looking at the boy's face, and the saber in his hand kept drifting away.

"Aha!

The saber in his hand was erected, and the sharp tip of the knife pierced the boy's skin, and a trace of blood seeped through the broken wound.

"Don't, please stop, please don't hurt my child. ”

The woman kept pleading.

"Stop, that's not going to work, this little bunny has offended me, so I have to leave something in his face. ”

The boy was too frightened to speak, he only knew that the knife against his face would really stab him.

Deep despair, this family is really desperate.

The cold wind and snow are still drifting, and the residents living around this house can only watch, they are powerless to stop this, and the people's hearts are as cold as this wind and snow.

Outside the open door, Shao'an, who was returning from the tavern, witnessed the scene in front of him.
