The arrival of Baron Gough completely broke the pleasant and harmonious atmosphere in the store, and at this time, both those who had eaten jam and those who had not eaten jam chose to retreat into the street.

They were very uneasy, and they always felt that the baron had not come here to give blessings, for his face was very ugly, especially the roar before.

Sizzle.

The two tired horses hung their heads and wagged their tails, and no one was going to fetch them fodder at this moment.

Inside the shop, Hofoss, who was standing behind Gough, smiled helplessly at Roque, he had a lot to say to the other party, but it was obviously out of place at this moment.

Roque's face was calm, with a hint of a smile on his lips, and the others were slightly behind him, they were a little worried, because the baron had obviously come to ask the master for his guilt.

Gough, who didn't say a word, kept a straight face, and this had been going on for a few minutes.

"The arrival of the baron really surprised me, I must be tired from all the way from the iron city, why don't you sit down and rest first, and taste the jam of Yida Comptoir by the way." ”

No one expected that it would be Roque who would speak first.

"Don't waste your efforts, the castle will not recognize the legal status of Yida Comptoir. ”

"I've visited the castle before, but you're not here, Baron, I've told Rael about it, and he's invited him today, I don't think Stella Town will refuse the Yida Comptoir, after all, this is a merchant's paradise. ”

The smile on Roque's face vanished, and he spoke earnestly.

Gough looked at the others, and then sneered at him: "You're right, but I don't want to see this place open, and I don't want to see you, just pack up your things and get out, I don't like to use force to solve these small things, of course, if you pay your taxes honestly, maybe I can consider it." ”

"How much tax do you want, Baron?"

"Business tax, legal tax and management tax, 1,000 gold coins a month. ”

Hearing this number, everyone's faces changed, and they all understood that the other party didn't want them to open Yida Commercial Bank at all.

Virgil and the others looked angry, if it weren't for Goff's identity, they would have wanted to rush up and teach each other a hard lesson.

Sonia kept her head down, it was not appropriate for her to speak on this occasion, and at this moment the promise she had made to Roque had become shaken.

Will he really be able to resist the pressure of the castle?

Burton's hands were clenched tighter, and now he was more nervous than anyone else, because in his heart, there was a fierce ideological struggle.

Leon didn't know when, put her hand on Burton's shoulder, and when the other party reacted, she nodded slightly.

"Haha!"

Roque laughed out loud, and then said seriously: "Baron, you should know that I like to reason with people, but for rude people, I will choose to use a sword. ”

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere instantly became tense, the first to bear the brunt were the people in the store, Roque's words frightened them, did they want to do something to the nobles?

On the street, there was a constant commotion in the crowd, and many people couldn't help but change their faces when they heard Roque's words clearly, and even their hearts became nervous.

"Why, do commoners want to use force against nobles, do you know the consequences of doing so?" Gough asked coldly, and he didn't take Roque's words to heart, because Hoforth behind him gave him great confidence.

"Know, but I can guarantee that before the consequences come, you will regret it, even if there is a knight standing behind you. Roque said lightly, and it was hard to imagine that this was a threat.

"Ridiculous, offending the nobleman, it's a capital offense, kill him, my knight. ”

Gough's eyes were cold, and he gave Hoforth the order, and Roque's calm demeanor disgusted him.

"Yes, my lord!"

With the words popping out of his mouth with difficulty, Hoforth stepped forward, slowly drawing his knight's sword and his gaze falling on Roque.

"Where's your sword?"

Everyone present looked at Hoforth with a look of disbelief at this time, they clearly remembered that night, the other party came to the manor as a guest, and he was such a kind person, and he was almost like two people now.

Vincent was very sad in his heart, he really wanted to stop Hoforth, Virgil and the others on the side looked solemn, facing the knights, if they fought, there was no chance of winning.

"Wait!" Just then, Bolton burst out and stood beside Roque.

Hoforth turned his gaze to him, showing approval, and then asked gently, "Baron Bolton, do you have anything to say?"

"Yes!"

Bolton nodded, his eyes fell on Gough, and after taking a deep breath, he suppressed the tension in his heart, and he said seriously: "Yida Comptoir does not need to pay taxes to the castle, according to the laws of the kingdom, the property is participated by the nobles, and the taxes are the responsibility of the direct officials of the kingdom. ”

"Baron Gough, I'm sorry, but Bolton Manor is involved in the operation of Yida Comptoir, so it's legal here. ”

When Bolton said these words, Leon's originally uneasy heart seemed to be pulled up, and his eyes were both worried and surprised, and his son had finally taken this step.

"I'm curious what gave you the courage to stand in front of me and say such things, knowing that your father couldn't have faced me like that. ”

Goff looked at Bolton coldly, and he was surprised by the performance of the other party, is this still the cowardly little baron.

"Because I am the baron of Bolton Manor, I want to say that Mr. Roque has not offended you, he is just defending my rights and interests, nothing more. ”

While everyone was worried about Burton, he still showed a strong attitude in front of Gough.

Roque beside him, his face changed suddenly, but he recovered quickly, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, a reminder from the third leaf, he loved this feeling to death, and he had been looking for the lucky one, but he didn't expect to stand by his side now.

"Anything is always easy to die when it is weak, little baron, are you ready for such an awareness, I appreciate you who were cowardly in the past, because then everyone will not be in trouble, but now, can I consider it a challenge?"

Goff approached Bolton a little closer, and whispered in the other's ear: "From this day on, you must keep my eyes open when you sleep, my little baron, if you are not careful, you will die." ”

Hearing this, Burton's face suddenly turned pale, and at this moment, he felt that his strength had been drained.

"Rest assured, Lord Baron, Baron Bolton will live well, for I will not be kind to my enemies. ”

Roque reached out and gently held Bolton and assured Gough.

"Today is really a disappointing day, I can't stay in this hellish place for a moment, but the Earl has given me a lot of tasks, and now I know how to arrange it. ”

Goff gave Bolton a deep look, and he chose to ignore the others, turning around and walking towards the door, Hoforth gave everyone a slightly apologetic smile and hurried to follow the other party's footsteps.

As he was about to step out of the door, Gough suddenly stopped, and he turned to stare at Bolton: "If I'm not mistaken, your father died in the war, what a good ending, think about what I said." ”
