The porter of Bruce's house saw that this unconventional county order was coming again, and he brought so many people, so he was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly ran into the house, and said tremblingly: "My lord, my lord, the county order is here again, and this time it also brought a large group of people!" ”

Bruce was enjoying the cool at home, and there were two beautiful little maids rubbing his waist and legs beside him, and as soon as he heard the servant say this, he immediately got up from the chaise longue and said, "What?!" What is he coming for? ”

"The villain doesn't know." The porter said with tears in his voice.

Bruce was furious, a county magistrate, who was his grandchildren, dared to bully him like this, and said angrily: "Bring someone, come with me, I want to see what he wants to do?!" ”

"Yes, sir." When the porter saw Bruce's words, his waist instantly stiffened, and he immediately ordered a lot of dog's legs, and followed Master Bruce out of the room.

Bruce rushed out with someone, and just happened to collide with Clifford, so he glared at him angrily, and said angrily: "Lord County, what do you want to do with so many people in my house?" ”

Clifford didn't talk nonsense with this old fritter in the officialdom, and directly took out the IOU, and said: "Mr. Bruce, you borrowed a huge amount of 100,000 silver dollars from the county, which caused the county's financial turnover to be ineffective, and I asked Mr. Bruce to repay the money today." ”

"Pay it back?" Bruce snorted coldly, he didn't think about repaying it when he borrowed the money, this money was the activity fee given to him by Sanji, and he had already spent a lot, so what to pay back, he sneered: "The county magistrate is so forgetful, when your predecessor Sanji county magistrate lent me money, he didn't say a good repayment date." What's more, my factory has just been put into operation and has not yet made a profit, so what will I pay you back? ”

Clifford smiled coldly and said, "Sanji lent you the money, and then patted his ass and left, he is naturally not in a hurry, but this county wants to serve here, and it can't be turned around without these 100,000 silver dollars." I also hope that Lord Bruce will pay the money back now. ”

Bruce was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "No money!" If you don't have money, you have to die. You county order, see how much my life is worth, you can take it! ”

"In that case, then I won't bother." Seeing that he had turned into a hob meat, he didn't want to worry about him anymore, so he nodded lightly.

With that, he turned around and left with his men.

Bruce snorted coldly, his eyes were full of disdain, he spat on the ground, and said viciously: "It's really a mantis arm as a car, and I can't do anything I can't do it." Let's go. With that, he returned to the courtyard with his men, looking very proud of returning from a great victory.

On the way back, Olivia asked Clifford with a puzzled expression, "My lord, is that all there is to him?" If this gets out, everybody thinks we're scared of Bruce. The big families in Heihe County are all the only ones who look forward to it, and when they see that we are so weak, they will definitely not pay taxes anymore, and it will be difficult for us to carry out the next work. ”

The corners of Clifford's mouth curled up and smiled: "Who said I just forgot it with him?" Lord Ben is called salute first and then soldier, first go to him to ask for money legally and reasonably, if he doesn't give it, what Lord Ben will do next, he has nothing to say. ”

"My lord, what are you going to do next?" Olivia looked at Clifford with a worried look on his face and said, he was afraid that this unconventional Earl would do something out of the ordinary again.

"Go smash his shop." Collifer said lightly and shocked Olivia, this thing is really not going the ordinary way.

Olivia felt that it was obligatory and necessary to persuade this Earl, after all, he was his own master, and said: "My lord, you are an official of the kingdom, and I am afraid that such a thing as smashing people's shops is ......."

"What are you afraid of?" Collifor turned his head, looked at Olivia with a dissatisfied expression, and reprimanded: "He took advantage of the money and embezzled the country's money without paying it back, can he still take advantage of the reason?" It's already light for Lord Ben to smash his shop, and it's good not to raid his home. ”

Olivia was speechless for a moment, and there was a hint of surprise in Collif's eyes, where did this thing's usual wit go, why did he faint so often today, and die infinitely? Could he really be the kind of person in the legend - IQ depends on mood? I couldn't help but show a deep look of worry, and said, "My lord." Bruce is not easy to mess with, he has been serving in the Ministry of Personnel of the Kingdom, and has been the Minister of Personnel for a long time, and his protégés are all over the world. If we tear our faces with him today, and he mobilizes his students to impeach us, then we will not have a good life. ”

Clifford didn't stop moving forward at all, and said coldly as he walked towards the largest shop under Bruce's name: "Don't worry, Mr. Olivia, I'm not easy to mess with." ”

"But if you do that, we'll fail." Olivia still refused to give up, and continued to admonish. His current fate can be said to be tied to Clifford, if Clifford is planted, their whole family will not have good fruit to eat, and under the nest, there will be eggs, he still understands this truth.

Clifford stopped suddenly, turned his head to look at his old fellow, his eyes were full of arrogance and frivolity, and said, "Lord Ben has won countless times since his debut, so what's the matter if he loses once today?" ”

With that, he laughed loudly and walked briskly towards his target, leaving Olivia messy in the wind.

Olivia had no choice but to follow Collifor at this time, and when she arrived at a money bank opened by Bruce, she was still out of breath when she heard Clifford shouting: "Little ones, let me go in and smash it." Take away all the money and valuable things inside, and go back to Ben with a reward! This is the responsibility of our Excellency. ”

As soon as they said that they wanted to grab money, the group of people under Clifford had a green light in their eyes, and they were not responsible, so all of them became brave and rushed up, waving their hands while rushing to catch up with the customers who were doing business inside, and said, "Go away!" Go away! Don't get in the way of the old man! ”

"Hey, what are you doing? Do you know what kind of place this is?! When the shopkeeper in the store saw this group of people coming up, he couldn't help but say anything about driving people, and he was so angry that he didn't let people do business, and shouted with a tiger face.

Collif's men ignored him, and drove all the guests away by two, and then began to smash and rob, like a group of bandits (in fact, they were), and put the silver dollars in their pockets.

"Where did the thief come from?! Do you know that this is Lord Bruce's ticket number?! When the shopkeeper saw this group of people coming up, he grabbed the money, and knew that he had nothing to talk to them about, so he immediately called a group of people to go up and stop him.

Ke Lifu squinted at the fat shopkeeper who was short and fat with a shiny face, showed a trace of disdain in his heart, walked to the front, and said angrily: "Lord Ben is the county magistrate of Heihe County, and now he will personally bring someone to raid this money bank, and no one can stop him, otherwise he will wait to go to the prison and eat the killing rod of this county order!" ”

"Prefectural order?" When the shopkeeper heard that Clifford reported to his home, he was stunned for a moment, and looked at Clifford with an incredible look, which clearly meant: Brother, you are really a brave person, and then said in a strange tone of yin and yang: "Lord County, the villain doesn't know what's wrong with our bank. This is Lord Bruce's property, so I wonder if it's worth consulting Lord Bruce before you act? ”

Collie Fu had already had a fire in his heart, and he was worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger, and when he saw the strange appearance of this shopkeeper, he couldn't hold back anymore, and said angrily: "Tie him up for me!" Wait for the fall! ”

"Yes, sir!" Clifford's cronies swarmed him up, and immediately tied up the shopkeeper like a pig, and threw him directly into the foot of the wall.

Youdao is the prime minister's doorman Qipin official, since this shopkeeper can manage such a large industry for Bruce, it is enough to show that he is Bruce's cronies, and he is also a sideways figure in Heihe County on weekdays, and he is used to being powerful, and he suddenly received such treatment, and his heart was on fire, and he shouted: "You are a group of robbers, I want to tell Lord Bruce, he will find a way to deal with you villains!" ”

"Robbers?" Regardless of his official etiquette, Clifford was so angry that he kicked the fat body of the shopkeeper and scolded: "You well-dressed thieves are the real robbers, and you can always find a high-sounding reason by using the intricate connections in your hands to kick all the money of the kingdom into your pocket." The reason why our Rhine Kingdom has fallen to this point is due to which you can say that you are indispensable! You say I'm a robber, okay, Lord Ben will show you what a real robber is today! ”

Then he shouted at his subordinates and said, "Don't do it yet!" Is all that money kept for them to give birth?! ”

"Yes, sir!" As soon as they heard the money, Clifford's group of men immediately came to the door and said loudly in unison, and then began to raid the money house separately.

Clifford's training of his soldiers is very strict, and these soldiers have a hard time on weekdays, but the hard work of the whole day can be exchanged for this opportunity to rob legally, and they are still very beautiful in their hearts.

"Bang dang!" "Bang dang!" "Whoa!" "Whoa!"

More than a hundred soldiers began to rummage through the bank, taking out all the valuable things, and the silver dollars were naturally the main thing, and none of them fell into their pockets.

"You, you're robbers! You're a bandit leader, I'll tell Lord Bruce, and you're waiting to accept the impeachment of the minister!" The shopkeeper was so angry that his beard turned white, this is all his hard work, he also has shares in this bank, how much money does he have to lose, stretched his neck, glared at a fighting rooster and scolded.

Clifford suddenly turned his head to look at him, his gaze was very cold, and the shopkeeper trembled with fright, and he no longer dared to speak wildly.

After seeing the mad dog quiet, Clifford slowly walked up to him, stepped on his short and fat body, and scolded: "You have already said the term robber once. Now, Lord Ben is going to add another charge to you, insulting the officials of the kingdom and inciting discord among the officials of the kingdom, so you can wait to eat in prison. ”

After a while, one of Olivia's minor leaders ran up to Collifford excitedly, bowed fullly, and said, "My lord, I've almost got everything." See if we're ......"

Collie squinted at the little leader, and saw that he was elated, and the bag around his waist was bulging, obviously making a windfall, and scolded with a smile: "You kid is fast!" Tell the little ones, withdraw! ”

Is it a prefectural order or a bandit?

"Yes, sir!" The little leader bowed heavily to Clifford again, and said with a flattering expression.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and this group of goods made a windfall for no reason, and they were all silly and silly, and their faces were smiling.

Only Olivia looked worried, obviously thinking that Clifford's behavior today was too reckless, and he would definitely bring disaster to himself in the future.

Coolford didn't have time to comfort his old friend, and returned to the county office with the team in a box full of silver dollars.

He made such a big move here, which had already alarmed the people nearby, and it didn't take long for a large number of people to gather here, pointing at Clifford and others, and many people were making irresponsible remarks and making disrespectful remarks.

In this regard, Clifford had long expected that Bruce was very cunning, although he evaded taxes and took advantage of the country, but he was very good at managing his own image on weekdays, and when he had nothing to do, he always did some things to repair bridges and roads, help the needy, and make the local people have a good impression of him.

This is also one of the reasons why the successive officials did not dare to touch him, because he is a good person in the hearts of the people, if you provoke him, then he is naturally a bad person, the successive county commanders are all liuguan, and when they leave in a few years, no one thinks about how much merit is established here, so they turn a blind eye to Bruce, watching him make money while pretending to be forced, and finally making a little more money himself.

This is naturally a great joy for everyone, the only one who is unhappy is the king, you take Lao Tzu's money to do favors, do you want to thank you? It's just that because the shortcomings of officialdom have been around for a long time, he has no way to solve them overnight, so he can only try his best to adjust.

In fact, if there is another way to go, Clifford is not willing to break the rules of this industry against thunder, but he has no choice, Taylor gave him the task of death, let him get the taxes up, he has no way to go with these people.

Others can also look at the mountain high, even if they offend the governor, they can spend money to find other ways to be promoted, but Clifford can't, as he said before, the powerful faction of the Rhine Kingdom is basically offended by him, and the second prince, Prime Minister Anthony, and Vienna Governor Boll naturally need to be said.
