Chapter 1414 Protection Money?
"It's probably a month away!"
"How much?"
"Last year it was twenty gold coins, and this year it should have risen to twenty gold coins!" Liu Yishou thought for a while and said.
This question aroused Guan Yu's interest, and he continued to ask, "What do you mean by this?
"Almost, it's been about five or six years, it was only five gold coins at the beginning, and now it's up to twenty."
Guan Yu knew very well what twenty gold coins meant to a family like Liu Yishou, who had no income from their work, and could only rely on some gadgets to make some money, sometimes only a few days to earn a gold coin.
In other words, twenty gold coins is equivalent to saving up for a month without eating or drinking, and it must also be a time of good luck.
What's even more frustrating is that this year is going to rise again, and their situation is tantamount to making matters worse.In fact, it is very easy for Guan Yu to help Liu Yishou, and in his ring, there are still 10,000 gold coins that he snatched from Wei Buqun!
But Guan Yu is not capable of helping everyone, so the best solution to this matter is to deal with it from the source.
"Barren Town belongs to the border of Yongzhou City, and a little bigger is the Moon Worship Empire."
"The Moon Empire?" Guan Yu didn't expect that there was such a domineering country in this place where he was, but now was not the time for him to care about this issue, he thought for a while, and then asked, "Is this protection fee the same standard in the entire Moon Worship Empire?"
"What's different, as far as I know, except for our barren town, there is no protection fee at all in other places!"
Hearing this, Guan Yu finally couldn't help but be angry, dare to love this mayor of Bard is a local snake here, no wonder Barren Town is so poor.Since it is not the rules that this world should have, then Guan Yu doesn't have to think about anything else, thinking of this, he glared at Bard and said, "You are very powerful!"
At this time, Bard may also realize that Guan Yu will find trouble for himself, and hurriedly hide in the crowd, but where is his little trick Guan Yu's opponent, I saw Guan Yu make a look, and Bika Cat rushed over and landed directly on Bud's neck.
"If you dare to move again, I'll make you hear your neck breaking."
Bard has seen the power of the Bika Cat a few times, so he can't help but care about what he says.
"You ...... Didn't you say you were going to help the barren town get rid of the werewolves? Why don't you mention it?"
Bika Cat sneered and said: "Werewolves, of course, werewolves are meant to be driven away, but you blood-sucking bat should not be underestimated, you look at how poor the barren town has become, you still want to loot the people's fat and people's ointment, fish and flesh people, I really don't know what your conscience has eaten?"
"I didn't take their money for nothing, I used all the money I collected to train the escort team, and these people need a lot of money to eat, drink, and lazar!"
Seeing that Bard was still quibbling, Guan Yu stepped to his side in two steps and said, "That's right, you trained the escort team, but is this so-called escort really used to protect the villagers? I think you let them protect yourself, right?"
Bard was speechless, he wanted to argue, but when he saw the fire-breathing eyes of Guan Yu and Bika Cat, he gave up again, because he knew that no matter how he explained it, they wouldn't believe it.
After a few seconds of silence, Bard said, "Young Master Guan Yu, you better talk about the werewolf first, as for the issue of protection money, we'll talk about it later, okay?"
"Hehe, what do you think?" Guan Yu said disdainfully.
"I think it's good, after all, now that the werewolf is imminent, if it doesn't solve it, there may be no zài in the barren town in the future."
"Now you also know that you care about the safety of Barren Town, then I have to tell you, your behavior of collecting protection money is more strict than the matter of werewolves, no matter what today, you must give everyone an explanation here!"
After Guan Yu finished saying this, Bard was silent again, and after a while, he looked at Guan Yu and said coldly, "Guan Yu Gongzi, don't deceive people too much, as a foreigner, do you feel that you are a little too lenient?"
"Really, I don't think so? There is also the saying that the villagers should ask you if they are too deceitful, right? If you don't believe me, you can ask others!"
Someone next to him immediately responded, "Yes, we resolutely support Guan Yugongzi's behavior, Mayor Bad, give us an explanation!"
"Shut up for me, and if you coax me again, I'll double your protection fee!"
But this time, no one listened to him anymore, some people may have been suppressed for a long time, and began to complain to Guan Yu, "Guan Yu Gongzi, I think you are a good person, you must be the master for us!"
"Yes, old man, I'm over eighty years old, I have no children and no daughters, but I have to pay twenty gold coins to this kid Bud every year, twenty gold coins, where can I get so much money?"
"I'm worse than you, I'm over ninety, and I still have a stinky problem, don't I have to pay protection money?"
For a while, there was a lot of noise and complaints.
Seeing this scene, Guan Yu realized the importance of his matter to the villagers of Barren Town, and he turned his gaze to Bard again, "See, it seems that this matter is not something that I can't look at alone, you have collected protection fees for the past few years, I'm afraid you have also made a lot of money, right?"
"What's the money, didn't I tell you, it's all used for training.".
[,!]
Hearing this, Guan Yu snorted coldly and said, "Hehe, it's used for training?" Then may I ask the respected mayor of Bard, is this big villa of yours growing out of the ground?"
"This ......" Bard was dumb again.
"Mayor Bud, we have endured you in Barren Town for so many years, in fact, it's not that we can't beat you, but we don't want to fight, after the catastrophe in Barren Town, no one wants to see war again, and they all want to live a peaceful life, but don't take this as our cowardice, if you continue to do this in the future, then don't blame us for turning our faces and not recognizing people!"
This person's words resonated with most of the people present, and they all raised their hands and shouted loudly: "Turn your face and don't recognize anyone!
"You ...... I'm......" Bud was speechless.
But those people don't care about this, because of the support of Guan Yu, they are becoming more and more bold, and at this time, Guan Yu spoke: "Everyone, I know what you think, but I have an equally important thing to tell you!"
