The next day, the nearly 3,000 soldiers who had been repaired in the former militia camp in Alençon City went to the streets early in the morning, except for a few hundred who needed to stay in the camp and 400 of William's troops on duty in the city.

Of course, they did not go out into the streets to wander around, but to go to the streets and residential areas of Alençon to do some extortion, after all, no one is afraid of money.

Although the looting stopped before evening, the soldiers were not satisfied, and the most they could get out of two or three hours was to scrape a layer of oil and water.

However, these soldiers could not tell the difference between extortion and robbery, and if they did not succeed, they took it themselves, leaving only citizens with tears on their faces and houses in shambles.

The citizens of Alençon were in bad luck, first by the rebels who had pulled the pillars of their homes to their strongmen, and then by the soldiers who broke into the door.

But when they went out satisfied, they would be caught by William's direct army, which had been waiting for a long time, and the soldiers were escorted to apologize to the citizens and return a small amount of large household goods and money, as for the rest, except for a part of William, of course, it was privately divided by the soldiers.

The citizens who did not know the truth saw that the vicious soldiers were escorted by His Royal Highness William's army to apologize to them, and they also received some money back, and they were very grateful to His Highness William for his generosity, and they knelt down and bowed down, muttering that His Royal Highness William is 'timely rain'.

Although William did not instruct them to do this kind of drama, he also nodded and acquiesced, after all, William is not easy to point fingers after receiving money.

Here, William seemed to see the originally kind and kind butler Osborne, showing a hint of a wicked smile.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the soldiers returned to the camp one after another, and were led by their respective company officers to wait in line in front of a large building in the center of the city.

The tall building, made entirely of stone blocks from Caen, is three stories twelve meters high, more than ten meters long and more than ten meters wide, with a huge copper balance sign hanging in front of the pointed roof, a tall façade supported by stone columns, and a long staircase extending in front of the door, which looks like a miniature version of the American White House in the Middle Ages.

"The Bank of Normandy is open, the Bank of Normandy to which His Royal Highness William belongs is officially opened, and today it will open with a big reward, deposit 100 Triss gold coins and get 3 Triss gold coins."

In front of the building, there is a constant sound of seductive solicitation.

"Normandy bank, Normandy I know, but what is a bank?" A short soldier in line put his right hand down on a tall soldier in front of him and said, "Hey, man, do you know what a bank is, what are you bringing us here, sir?" ”

"Hmph, how do I know, you won't ask yourself!" The tall, meaty-faced soldier turned around and said dissatisfied.

"Hehe..."Faced with the oppression brought by the other party's height, the short soldier had to laugh.

As the team in front of him moved slowly, the short soldier finally saw several windows surrounded by iron fences in front of him, and there were more than a dozen busy figures counting gold and silver coins, and through the cracks came a pleasant golden and shiny little cute figure.

However, the soldiers in front of the door did not dare to make a fortune and disturb the order, because not far in front of them were guarded by hundreds of heavily guarded troops under William, their eyes roaming around, and the weapons in their hands seemed to say that if you dare to move, you will poke a hole.

"The Bank of Normandy is open, the Bank of Normandy to which His Royal Highness William belongs is officially opened, and today it will open with a big reward, deposit 100 Triss gold coins and get 3 Triss gold coins."

The stocky soldier finally saw the source of the voice, a well-dressed middle-aged man in a black round hat chattering.

"Hey, brother, can you tell me what is the bank, as soon as I returned to the camp today, I was brought over by the company captain to line up, which made me confused." The short soldier stopped the middle-aged man and asked.

"This bank is a place to store your money and valuables. What if your gold and treasures are lost or stolen in the camp? If you leave them in the bank, you don't have to worry about losing them, we will give you a parchment deposit slip and a password, without which no one can take your gold and treasures. The middle-aged man turned around with a rich expression on his face, and his words were full of seduction.

These words just spoke to the heart of the short soldier, and he was worried about the loss of the gold coins all day, and he grabbed the middle-aged man's arm with one hand and said, "What? Is it safe for me to keep my money here? ”

"Don't worry, this Normandy bank was opened by His Royal Highness William, look at such a big building, so many His Highness William's guards are guarding, can these deceive people?" The middle-aged man broke away from the short soldier's hand and said in a firm tone.

"Whew, I'm relieved." The short soldier exhaled a long breath and said, "But, I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring the gold coins. ”

"Don't worry, you can open an account at the window first, and then go back to the camp to get the money to deposit, and if you save a hundred Triss gold coins today, there will be three Triss gold coins as a gift, save more and give more, after today, there will be no such discount." The middle-aged man's words were full of temptation, like a devil's whisper, and he said slowly: "If there is any valuable loot in the camp, you can also bring it, you see that we have a consignment shop next to us, which also belongs to His Royal Highness William, and the price is guaranteed to be the fairest in Normandy." ”

Listening to the seductive voice of the well-dressed middle-aged man in front of him, the short soldier couldn't help but feel his heart pounding, and his little heart beat violently.

When the short line in front of them disappeared and it was the turn of the short soldiers, the short soldiers only felt as if a century had passed.

When the stout soldier came to the iron window, an old man dressed in the same luxurious costume as the middle-aged man before him spoke, "Name, age, where." ”

"My name is Tommy, I'm 19 years old, and I'm from Vernon in Evre." Tommy replied obediently.

"What is the password you want to set for withdrawing money, do you know it twice?" The old man's tone was flat and expressionless, and it was obvious that he had asked a lot of people like this.

"Hmm... Then 'the war is over, go back to Vernon to marry my beloved Amanda', right to this sentence 'The war is over, go back to Vernon to marry my beloved Amanda'". Tommy pondered for a moment and spoke.

The old man glanced at Tommy with a strange expression, but the quill in his hand did not stop for a moment, and he said, "Come, press two handprints on each of these two pieces of parchment." ”

After Tommy finished pressing the two handprints as he said, the old man asked: "How much do you want to save, open a discount today, save 100 gold coins and get 3 pieces, you have to hurry up if you want to save." ”

"Now I don't have enough money with me, so I'll go back to the camp and get it and save it here."

"Give." The old man handed Tommy one of the palm-sized pieces of parchment and said, "Then go quickly, there are still people waiting behind!" ”

Tommy had no choice but to look at it, turned and ran towards the camp.
