Unexpectedly, the sheriff was quite greedy, Hu Ye couldn't help frowning and said, "Then how much do you want?" ”

"I don't want much." John stretched out two fingers and said, "From Baishi Village to Shanjin Town, a total of sixty-five miles, for every mile of road you pave, you have to give me two gold coins!" ”

John really opened his mouth, and he had to give him two gold coins for a mile, which exceeded the cost of paving the road itself, which made Hu Ye very dissatisfied.

However, this guy's appetite was not enough, and he soon continued: "In addition to this, I will have people set up several tax collection stations on the road, and everyone who passes by the road will have to pay!" Five copper coins for pedestrians, fifty copper coins for carriages, and all the money belongs to me! ”

Listening to John's request, Hu Ye's brows furrowed even tighter. Obviously, Hu Ye paid for the road, but he actually had to come to collect the fee, which was too greedy.

Moreover, Huye built roads to facilitate the passage of pedestrians and goods, so as to promote the development of Baishi Village. In the future, the cement produced in the village will be transported out through this road. If every car is charged a huge toll, then isn't Hu Ye working for John?

Hu Ye absolutely could not accept these conditions, and immediately shook his head and said: "Baishi Village can give you a sum of money, but it will not exceed or fifty gold coins, and the matter of collecting tolls is absolutely unacceptable, and this road will be free for everyone to use." ”

The smile on John's face disappeared, and he said coldly to Hu Ye: "If you don't agree to my conditions, you don't want to build this road!" ”

Hu Ye also sank his face and said, "Mr. John, you seem to have forgotten your identity!" The sheriff is only administering the town of Shining Gold on behalf of the lord, not the real master here! I think Count Rose should know the benefits of this road to Shining Gold Town, and he will definitely not refuse my request to build a road! ”

didn't expect Hu Ye to say such a thing, and John also understood that this hillbilly was not easy to deal with. Of course, he would not show weakness in front of Hu Ye, and immediately sneered: "Do you think you can really see Lord Earl?" This matter will be handed over to me in the end, and you must look good when the time comes! ”

"Then we'll see." Hu Ye smiled slightly, turned around and walked out of the town office.

"This stinky hillbilly dares to argue with me, what a bastard!" John yelled angrily and decided to give the guy who didn't know how to lift a little color.

After losing his temper, John leaves the town hall and finds George, who is wandering around the town.

George is a gangster in the town of Shining Gold, with a group of thieves and thugs who usually steal the wallets of outsiders and extort money for a living.

Of course, in order to gain a foothold in the town of Shingold, George had to give John a sum of money every week in exchange for his protection. Only then will the thief who misses be released quickly, and George's "rivals" will be severely attacked by John. Of course, George will also help John deal with some shady things, and the two have a very close relationship.

With a flattering smile on his face, George bowed his head and asked John, "Your Excellency, you have something to do with me?" ”

"Of course, why would I come to you otherwise?" John said angrily: "Just now, there was a hillbilly from Baishi Village, who actually threatened me in the town office......"

Before John could finish speaking, George exclaimed, exaggeratedly: "I dare to threaten you, I don't think that kid wants to live!" ”

"Be quiet!" John said to George in a deep voice: "That kid claimed to go to the lord to denounce me, although he will definitely not see the lord, but I can't swallow this breath, do you know what I mean?" ”

George immediately nodded and said, "Understand, I'll call all the brothers and rush to the front to block him, and I will give that guy a lesson that he will remember for a lifetime!" ”

John said coldly: "I don't want him to learn any lessons, just solve this trouble!" ”

George finally understood what John meant, took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter properly!" ”

"Good!" John nodded with satisfaction: "This matter is done, you don't have to pay this month's protection fee, hurry up and do it!" ”

Paying a month's less protection fee would save George a lot of money. With the benefits, he was full of energy, and immediately gathered his subordinates.

After Hu Ye left the town office, he walked along the road outside the town of Shining Gold and walked unhurriedly towards the castle of Count Rose.

Like most lords, Count Rose's castle is not in the town of Shining Gold, but on the top of a hill several miles from the town. The location of the castle was chosen by the ancestors of the Count of Ross, and after several generations of successive construction, it has its current size, which is much larger than that of Baron Chagrin.

However, in Hu Ye's opinion, Count Rose's castle is also very ordinary. If it were built in concrete, it would take only half a year to build the same castle, and it would certainly be stronger than this kind of castle made of rock.

This made Hu Ye plan to expand Baishi Village after the road was paved, anyway, the population of the village will definitely increase in the future, and it is not a bad thing to take precautions.

Just as Hu Ye was planning the future of Baishi Village, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out of the bushes on the side of the road and flew straight towards his neck.

The sharp arrow appeared very suddenly, and it was completely unexpected. Fortunately, Hu Ye's superhuman agility came into play at this time, and he hurriedly leaned back, and the cluster of arrows almost grazed Hu Ye's throat, almost killing him.

Hu Ye, who was attacked by someone, was furious and immediately rushed towards the bushes next to him.

The person who released the cold arrow didn't expect that Hu Ye would be able to dodge it in this way, and after being stunned for a while, he thought of continuing to open his bow and arrows, but it was too late. Hu Ye had already rushed in front of the man and punched him in the face. This guy just thinks it's dark in front of him, and then he doesn't know anything.

Although Hu Ye defeated the archers, more people immediately appeared from nearby and surrounded him unkindly.

These guys were George's subordinates, and they were more familiar with the nearby terrain, so they rushed to Hu Ye by taking advantage of his unpreparedness. Unexpectedly, Hu Ye actually escaped the sneak attack of the archers, and he could only do it to him head-on.

Hu Ye was not even afraid of hundreds of regular soldiers, these people looked like a rabble, and he didn't pay attention to them even more, and took the initiative to meet them. Just now, he was almost shot through the throat, and Hu Ye was also holding back the fire in his heart, just to vent his anger with these guys.

George didn't know what kind of existence he had provoked, and ordered the others in a loud voice: "Give it to me, as long as it is dead, not alive!" ”

At first, George was full of thoughts that with the advantage of being outnumbered, he could easily kill Hu Ye. But he soon discovers that he has made the biggest mistake of his life.
