"Well, it's okay......" Just arrived at Sovata City, the red dust and smoke and rain here just sighed, because after looking at the surrounding order, it seems that there is no chaos, and it seems that it is still too late.

"What's okay?" Li Huailin asked strangely.

"Where's your house?" The red dust and smoke and rain here kept saying.

"Over here." Li Huailin pointed in the direction.

The two immediately walked towards the Duke's Palace, and after a while, they came to this villa in the center of the city, and the red dust and smoke and rain here also sighed, this Duke's Mansion is really beautiful enough, but unfortunately now is not the time, otherwise they must stay and have a good visit.

"Marshal!" The people standing guard here have been replaced by regular soldiers brought from the Second Legion, and their combat effectiveness is more than one grade higher than that of the city guards, which is also McCann's temporary transfer in order to prevent accidents, and when he saw Li Huailin coming over, the soldiers here immediately saluted and said.

"Where's McCann?" Li Huailin asked directly.

"The lieutenant marshal is having a meeting inside." The soldier here immediately reported, "Do you need me to inform me?" ”

"No need, let's go in now." Li Huailin said.

The two immediately came to the cabinet room on the second floor of the Duke's Palace, and when they opened the door, it was a busy scene, and McCann, who was processing official documents on the stage, saw Li Huailin and immediately stood up and said, "Marshal, you are finally back." ”

"Come, come with me to a meeting at the Ministry of Finance." Li Huailin said immediately.

"Yes." McCann immediately followed, and the three of them went to the Treasury next door. It was also a busy mess here, and Li Huailin hurriedly called out Oliveira, who was running around here and not listening to the command.

"How's it going?" Li Huailin hadn't even opened his mouth yet, and the red dust and smoke and rain here asked first.

"Uh...... My lord, who is this? "McCann has already seen the red dust and rain, and Oliveira here has not seen it, seeing this adventurer asking himself, Oliveira here doesn't know whether to answer or not.

"I'm your lord's wife." Li Huailin hadn't answered yet, and the red dust and smoke and rain here said directly.

"Huh?? Alas? Li Huailin looked at the red dust and rain in surprise, pulled the red dust and smoke and rain, and whispered, "Hey, hey." When did you become my wife? Is there such a thing? ”

"Nonsense, I don't say it's your wife, who listens to me." The red dust and smoke and rain here also replied in a whisper.

"It'...... too," Li Huailin nodded, and then said to McCann and Oliveira. Right. He is your new Duchess. ”

"I've seen Madame!" When the two heard the red dust and rain, it was actually the Duchess. immediately straightened his face and saluted very seriously.

"Ahem, how's it going?" The red dust and smoke and rain here feel a little embarrassed at this time. He coughed twice to resolve his embarrassment, and then continued to ask.

"That's right, lordship, ma'am, we're in a very big trouble right now, and we're trying to find a way to solve ......it," Oliveira said immediately.

"Nonsense, can you not get into trouble? Who will pay the 70% tax, how can there be a lord who collects such a tax rate. The red dust and smoke on this side said immediately.

"No, ma'am, I'm in trouble here......"

Oliveira here just wanted to explain, when suddenly there was a hurried running sound from the stairs, and the four people turned their heads to look, and a soldier rushed to the front of the four with a hurried face, and shouted loudly: "Lord Lord! Big things are not good! ”

"What's the matter!" McCann stepped forward and asked.

"A large number of peasants gathered at the door of the Duke's Palace, it is estimated that they came from a nearby village, and now nearly 5,000 people have slowly gathered, and the number is still increasing, they say that they see the Duke coming back and want to meet the Duke." The soldier here replied immediately.

"What!" Hearing that this McCann and Oliveira were already there, they knew that the taxes here were really collected, but they didn't expect that the villagers would actually block Li Huailin at the gate of the Duke's Palace, and they immediately became nervous.

"Look at it, something is really going on." The red dust and rain here didn't know about the tax yet, so he immediately pointed at Li Huailin and said, and then said to Oliveira and McCann, "Lord Duke is confused, and you are also confused, I don't know if 70% of the tax can be collected?" How not to stop this guy. ”

"This ...... Madame forgives the sins...... "As soon as the two of them were said by the red dust, they immediately lowered their heads, and indeed they also have a responsibility, as cabinet ministers, it is their duty to discourage the inappropriate behavior of the lord.

"Forget it, it's mainly the good things this guy did." The red dust and rain here said, "What do you say now?" ”

"Don't be nervous, I don't think it's a big deal, it's just that I was blocked at the door by a group of villagers, and I solved them in minutes." Li Huailin spread his hands and said.

"Does the lord need to transfer troops to suppress it?" McCann here immediately asked.

"Hey, you've already caused the people's anger, and if you suppress it again, the whole territory will be reversed." The red dust and smoke rain here said immediately.

"Huh? Repression? Why? Li Huailin said strangely, "Didn't they come to thank me?" ”

"I want to thank you for Mao, people can't wait to tear you to pieces?" Hongchen Yanyu said.

"Please don't compare me with those ordinary lords, you look at my charisma, even if people are here to tear me to pieces, as soon as you see me stand up, I promise to kneel down and kowtow every second." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.

"Hey, you're not sick...... "Hongchen Yanyu said with his forehead raised.

"Alas...... Why don't you believe me, it's time to show you the charm of the master. Li Huailin waved his hand gorgeously, "Let's go, see if I can handle them alone." ”

After speaking, Li Huailin on this side walked directly downstairs.

"Lord Marshal! Marshal! McCann immediately shouted nervously, and at the same time shouted to the soldier next to him: "Inform the Second Legion and the City Guard, all rush to the front door, if there is danger, protect the Duke as soon as possible, otherwise I will cut you down." ”

"Yes!" The soldier here said immediately.

"Hey, you're really going." The red dust and smoke and rain here thought that Li Huailin was still joking at first, but he didn't expect Li Huailin to really pass towards the main entrance, and asked while chasing behind Li Huailin.

"It's all said that there's nothing to be afraid of." Li Huailin said as he walked, "I've seen tens of thousands of troops of the demon clan, can I still be afraid of these thousands of villagers?" ”

"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not, the problem is that if you use tough tactics now, things will get worse." Hongchen Yanyu said.

"I know, isn't it the Huairou policy? I'm the best at this, you see I'll stand on the stage for a while, and make sure everyone kneels down and call Daddy. Li Huailin said with a smile.

"......" Hongchen Yanyu directly supported his forehead, "You guy...... Can you give me a normal thought, have you ever seen a time when the rebels will kneel down and call your thief head daddy? ”

"Rub, when did I become a thief." Li Huailin said, "Besides, people are just blocking our door, and they don't necessarily come to rebel." ”

"If you don't come to rebel, can you still come to thank you, 'Thank you, Lord Lord, for collecting 70% of our taxes', 'Thank you, Lord Lord, for making us unable to live'?" The red dust and smoke on this side asked.

"Why are you so smart?" Li Huailin said in surprise, "The idea is actually the same as mine, I thought that only I wanted it." ”

"What a clever ghost! I'm seriously studying this issue with you. Hongchen Yanyu said.

"I'm also very serious, oh, I see, there are a lot of people." The two walked to the gate as they spoke, and sure enough, there was already a black crowd at the gate, and they had already blocked the gate of Li Huailin's house more than ten meters wide, and there were more and more guards around, although the villagers at the door were just waiting patiently and did not impact the gate, but the guards inside were nervous.

"Marshal, deputy marshal, there are more and more people outside, and now it is close to 10,000 people, we are short of manpower, what should we do?" At the door, a team leader rushed over and said to Li Huailin and McCann.

"What about our troops?" McCann asked immediately.

"I've sent someone to inform me before I got back, but it's expected to take 2 hours." The soldier here replied.

"Marshal, I'll wait until our troops come back and then ......"

Before McCann's words were finished, Li Huailin on this side waved his hand directly and said to the captain over there: "Okay, go open the gate and talk to them, I'm here to see them, don't make a noise with me." ”

"What! Open the door? "McCann, Oliveira, and Red Dust Smoke and Rain next to him were all shocked.

"Hey, are you really not sick?" Hongchen Yanyu stepped forward and said.

"Isn't that sincerity? You see them through the door with the sincerity of a yarn, besides, if people really want to rush in, can you block it with an iron door? Li Huailin smiled and said, "Okay, let's see my methods." ”

"Okay, I'll see how you break it." Here Hongchen and Smoke and Rain raised his forehead and said.

"The one over there, go open the gate." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.

"Yes...... Yes, the marshal ...... "The marshal personally gave the order, and although the soldiers here were worried, they still carried out the order, and immediately ran over, and as soon as several soldiers pulled the door, it opened.

"The Duke has come to see you personally, so let you be quiet." The soldiers shouted to the villagers in front of them.

"Did the Duke come to meet us in person? This...... Everyone, be quiet, come with me. An elderly villager in his 70s at the front shouted to the people behind.

The 10,000 or so villagers immediately shut up and walked into the Duke's Mansion in an orderly manner, and before they had walked a few steps, they saw Li Huailin sitting there on a slightly high platform in front of them to see the scenery.

"Your Lord!" "Your Lord!" The crowd was excited, and the guards next to him immediately became nervous. (To be continued......)
