Chapter 298 - Stupid Woman
Margaux burst out laughing, put her arms around the Count's neck again, and the two soft balls on her chest were perfectly pressed against the back of the Count's head, and said, "The Count is really a good man! Margaux is really adoring you more and more~~~! β
Feeling the softness behind his head, listening to the soft and reverent voice of the young girl, Count Ruiying couldn't help but feel a little fluttery.
"But Lord Earl, as kind as you are, you should sometimes make up your mind. While your tax is likely to bring Pelican Town back to its original shape, there's no money to expand. But you have to know that even if you go too far, you're just getting the town back to the life they already lived. And, since they could make enough money to expand their town on their own before, they will definitely be able to do the same next time! You want their money, on the surface, so that they will not be able to live a better life, but in fact, Lord Earl, you are working harder to spur them on, make them work harder to make money, and contribute to our empire! β
After saying this, the face of the Earl of Rui Ying was covered with red tides, and he also enjoyed this praise very comfortably: "Well, what you said seems to really have a little bit of truth? β
Margaux turned to Count Eagle, reached out and gently cupped the count's face, and said with a grin, "But Lord Earl, there is a small thing to do before you can collect taxes. That is, to eradicate this mermaid song first. β
Count Ruiying was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "What does this have to do with the Song of the Mermaid?" And they've been serving us well in the last week, so why bother them? β
Margaux smiled sweetly and continued, "Although on the surface, this guild is indeed very good at doing things. But as far as I know, the head of this guild has resisted several attacks from Viscount Norris and Count Karp. I don't know why she's so capable, but I don't think she's enough to control this short man by sheer economic means. If Lord Earl's tax collection this time is to be foolproof, the best thing to do is to let this guild, this president named Airo Garcia, disappear. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that he won't come up with any way to resist you, Lord Count. β
The old man thought about it, but his face was still a little hesitant: "This ...... Is it really necessary? I'm an earl, and he's only a plebeian guild leader, so how can he resist my tax orders? β
In this regard, Margaux was also unambiguous, leaned into the ear of Count Ruiying, and said softly: "Then, don't forget Norris's 'Viscount', Karp's 'Count' is also facing such a plebeian guild president~~~"
After saying this, the smile on Count Ruiying's face finally disappeared completely.
He quietly looked at the beautiful girl, but her heart was like a femme fatale. Margaux, on the other hand, is still smiling sweetly, her figure is as soft as bonesless, and her whole body exudes the unique charm of the interaction between a mature woman and a young girl. Even if you just look at her quietly like this, it seems that she will suck her soul away.
"My Margaux...... My good girl. You gave me such a great idea, how can I thank you? β
After a long time, Count Ruiying laughed again as if he had finally figured it out. He reached out and gently pinched Margaux's chin, looking extremely doting.
"As long as Lord Earl continues to be good to me, then I don't need anything. I just want to see Lord Earl live to be two hundred years old without worries and complaints~~~! β
At this moment, Count Ruiying was instantly amused. He put his arm around the girl's waist, looked her up and down, and said with a smile, "I'm not a magician, how can I live so long?" It's hard for even some magicians to live that long, right? Hahaha! Well, since you call my heart so, then I will also give you some expression. So how about how much tax will be levied from this town this time, and a tenth of it will be yours? β
Hearing this number, Margaux's charming eyes were instantly occupied by vulgar greed! She immediately nodded with a smile on her face, fell into the arms of Count Ruiying, hugged his neck and kissed him again: "Lord Earl~~~ You are really good to me~~~~!" I'm so happy~~~~"
"Hahaha! Happy? β
The Earl of Eaglehawk also kissed the young girl lightly on the lips, then put her down, and continuedβ
"Since you're so happy, I'll simply thank you for all the townsfolk in Pelican Town. Because you will pay me this military fund in their place, what do you think of this proposal? β
At that moment, the charm and smile on Margaux's face froze.
She stood there in a daze, the corners of her mouth that had not yet had time to be withdrawn, and a slight doubt flashed in her slightly scarlet pupils.
Count Eagle didn't give the girl much time to think. He picked up the account book on the table, flipped through it, and said with a smile: "Margaux, since you think so much about me, have you ever thought about what I will do if I forcibly collect taxes in this town like this, once my political enemies seize my handle?" You may be thinking about it a lot, but it turns out that you don't think about it enough. And yes, you've been around that Karp guy for a few years, right? You've gotten a lot of money from him over the past few years, right? You can give me all this money, let me have a good rest in Tianhe City, and by the way, use it as military expenses, how about it? β
With a click, Margaux's footsteps involuntarily took a step back. After a moment of stunnedness, she still had that smile on her face, reached out against the wall beside her, and said with a slightly embarrassed laugh, "Your Excellency...... You...... You're making too much of a joke...... How...... Want my money? I'm a little woman...... Where did you get so much money......"
"Don't have any money? But I think you have a lot of money. β
Count Rui Ying dropped the account book in his hand and said with a smile-
"In the past three years, you've gotten more money from than a thousand gold, directly or indirectly, from that guy Karp, right? You've been hiding all this money like a rat is using to store food for the winter. β
"But just now, my subordinates have come to tell me that the price of all kinds of gold, silver, and jewelry, and many jewels that you treasure is definitely not less than five or six thousand gold coins! Well, maybe there's still money you made when you used to be a kiln sister? Overall, this is not a small amount. β
Hearing that her wealth had been touched by the count, the expression on Margaux's face finally began to be a little uncontrollable, her steps swayed, and her pretty face looked slightly distorted: "Lord Earl...... You...... The money ...... All this money belongs to me, a little woman...... It's the money I want to use for retirement in the future...... You...... How can you ...... Am I upsetting you in something? If there's something that upsets you...... Hit me! It's okay for you to hit me, scold me, or even whip me! Just the money...... The money ......."
"Hehe, you didn't make me unhappy. On the contrary, you make me happy. β
Count Eagle got up, tidied up his garment that had been messed up by Margaux a little, and said slowlyβ
"After I was really with you, I realized that your charm is really hard to stop. It's no wonder that Karp guy is smitten by you. β
"A few years ago, Karp, who had always been a waste, suddenly showed a different ability to govern, and some of his governing behavior was accompanied by a little aggressiveness. I thought he had suddenly changed sex! β
"But after learning about you, the little beauty, the little goblin, I realized that he was still that idiot, and the person who was really useful was you. A kiln sister who ran out of the land of wind and snow has been transformed into the mistress of Count Karp, under one person and above ten thousand! β
"At first, I was a little suspicious that you were a spy, because Karp's acts of government, while they were good for his fortune as an earl, were more or less damaging to his own reputation."
"So, when I kept you with me, I just wanted to know who you were working for, and who was behind your scourge of Karp."
"But the result ...... Hehe, it turns out that I was really thinking too much and too complicated. You don't have any lofty goals at all, just a pure kiln sister, a stupid woman who just wants to rely on these little cleverness to try to make more money, and has no insight and vision. β
After arranging his clothes, Count Rui Ying looked at the pale girl in front of him again with a little appreciation, laughed, and said-
"I brought you to such a remote place purely to prevent you from being obstructed by you while my men investigate your treasure land. But now, your money has gone to me, you and I have enjoyed it, and it tastes good. You can at least brag to your fellow sisters that you slept with at least two counts, wouldn't you? β
The words of understatement are as if a kind old man is talking to a young junior, and he is not shocked.
But for Margaux now, she is short of breath, and beads of sweat the size of beans are rolling down her forehead!
With a smile on his face, Count Eagles walked to the door, where three of his attendants had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the door suddenly opened, the girl seemed to have only realized what had happened until this moment! Now she was no longer a delicate girl, but like a madwoman, she threw herself at Count Eagle, grabbed him by the legs of his trousers, and knelt behind him.
