Chapter 4: Dungeon Digging

The guards of the dungeon are just ordinary zombies, although their minds are not open, but they are agile and powerful, and they are still very competent in ordinary fighting. The rank of zombie is equivalent to that of a ghost slave, and it is also a servant for ghost pawns, but in terms of treatment and authority, it is obviously higher than that of human ghost slaves.

Sijiu took this strange young master to the door of the dungeon, first called the zombies who were guarding, and let him open the door without saying anything. Whoever let himself wait is a master who is more angry than the average ghost. The strange young master came over without saying a word, first let Sijiu kick the zombie guard, and then showed his waist card and let the zombie open the prison door. The zombie suffered a loss, and was about to have a seizure, but when he saw that the person who came was one level older than him, he didn't dare to speak, and opened the door at the feet of Sijiu's fingers.

This dungeon is a great place to hide. Since the former tax officer often came here to hang out, there was nothing unreasonable for him, the new tax officer, to come and check. As he walked, he looked at the soil on the ground to see if there was any color of the new mud. But from the looks of it, it's all the same. It's right to think that if the tax collector had casually buried the ink-hungry stuff here, even if this dungeon was not commonly used, it would have been discovered a long time ago.

"Forty-nine, go and get me a bucket of water for the young master. No, two barrels. Just go. Lu Jingzhi commanded casually.

Sijiu answered, turned around to go, and suddenly heard Lu Jingzhi shouting from behind: "Don't go, let the gatekeeper go." Forty-nine hurriedly answered again and went to order the zombie guard guarding the door. This is the first time he dared to call a zombie out of his mother's womb, and even if he doesn't need to call a zombie an adult, he only has the share of being supported. At this time, the excitement in Sijiu's heart could not be described in words, he only felt that he was happy with this strange young master, not only did he not fight or scold, but he could also grow his majesty.

In fact, it was not that Lu Jingzhi intended to let Sijiu play prestige, but that he let himself and a zombie be alone in a dark dungeon, which made him shudder to think about it. So let's let Four-Nine stay and let the zombie do the work.

After a while, two large buckets of water were moved, and Lu Jingzhi waved his hand to let Sijiu move, and a bucket was splashed in each cell. Finally found a place of water seepage in the innermost room.

"Forty-nine, dig!" After instructing Forty-nine, Lu Jingzhi found a slightly flat place to sit down and rest, and fell asleep unconsciously. He had a dream in which he found countless treasures in the pit dug by Sijiu, including gold coins, silver coins, precious stones, carvings, antiques, works of art, famous paintings, and watches. The more he dug up, the more Lu Jingzhi looked at the treasure full of pits, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his teeth. Forty-nine came over to have fun, but there was a lot of bad breath. Lu Jingzhi kicked and beat him away, but the smell became stronger and stronger. Finally, he covered his nose and woke up.

"This young master," Sijiu stood aside, crying with a sad face, "We dug through the dungeon's latrine, and there is a manure pit underneath." ”

"Wow, no wonder it stinks. Lu Jingzhi covered his nose and ran out, "Fix it quickly, and let the zombie help you if you can't figure it out." ”

Forty-nine responded, and his voice was full of grievances. Lu Jingzhi couldn't bear it, after all, he was a good boy, wait for Sijiu to come up, reward him for taking an extra bath, Lu Jingzhi thought to himself, I am really a good young master who will be considerate of people.

Although the dungeon treasure digging failed, Lu Jingzhi felt that he was right when he went back. The former accountant must have been greedy for ink, and it was not a small amount. He couldn't have hidden these things in the place where he lived, it was too unsafe and could be found at any time. There is only one way to hide, and that is to hide on the way back to the castle. Because you want to hide it for your own use, you must hide it near the castle.

Where, then, do you really have to face the wild ghosts and the rangers? Forget it. Lu Jingzhi looked at his tiny arms and legs, and decided that it was better to give up the adventure. Although he wanted to find those imaginary riches for sure, life was more important. According to the records of his predecessor's bookkeeper, it is still possible that he will be able to pay this year's taxes as long as he plunders the villages a few more times and levies their youths for hard labor. But next year, it's a bit dangerous. Since the war was imminent, the lords had to pay twice as much as the king's taxes this year, and it was impossible for the lords themselves to produce things to pay taxes, and the tax burden would only fall on the villages.

Lu Jingzhi sighed, he couldn't take care of this, and if he could save his life, God would bless him.

In the afternoon, the ghost rider returned. This time, Lu Jingzhi took the initiative to mention that he would go to the village under his rule to collect taxes.

"My lord, I'm your tax collector, don't go to the village to have a look, where do you know how to collect it?" Lu Jingzhi rode to the ghost.

"Yes. "The ghost rider speaks as simple as ever.

"I want a guide. Lu Jingzhi, "I haven't been to those villages, I'm afraid I won't find them." ”

"Yes. Male ghost slave. "The meaning of the ghost ride is to let him bring the four nines.

"I'm going to have a few ghost guards as guards. Lu Jingzhi said again.

"What?" asked the ghostrider.

"I've heard that there are quite a few rangers and wild ghosts around here, and they will attack my idea. In case the hard-earned taxes are robbed outside, don't you feel distressed. "Lu Jingyi, I look like I'm thinking about you, adult.

"You are my man, not afraid. "Ghost Rider never explains the reason to others, but this time he said five more words, which can be regarded as a breakthrough for Lu Jingzhi.

"Then I'll have to have someone to help move things. Lu Jingzhi said, "Look at my little thin arms and legs, I can't move anything, in case I receive something back, wouldn't it be terrible if no one moves it?" "Zombie monsters are scary, but this time I have to ask for them.

"Yes. After the ghost rider finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Jing, and then leaned over the ugly face that was missing half of the forehead, and said, "Little thin arms and small legs, if you can help me collect taxes, it's really useless for me to keep you." Do your part, new tax collector. I don't want to change people so quickly. "As long as it's not a conversation, but a simple statement of one's opinion, Ghost Rider can still talk a lot. Maybe his brain is a little dull, so he doesn't want to talk too much, but he can still say what he thinks about in one breath.

Looking at Lu Jingzhi's frightened white face, the ghost rider took back his ugly face with satisfaction, turned around and walked away. Lu Jingzhi, who was scared half to death by his ugly face, was left in a daze.

"Why are you doing this again, it's fun to scare me, right?!" Lu Jingzhi picked up the wooden cup on the table and poured a large mouthful of water into it before he could suppress his beating heart, "Before leaving, you threaten me, hum! Who do you think you are." Lu Jingzhi muttered quietly.

"Forty-nine, give me death to the young master!" Lu Jingzhi was in a bad mood, so he could only catch Four-Nine to vent his anger.

"It's coming. Sijiu hurriedly agreed, this strange young master has a big temper, and it is easy to have an accident if he agrees to be late. I didn't let people sleep early this morning, pulled people to dig the toilet, and let them fill it up after digging. Maybe something was not done well yesterday that made the young master unhappy.

"Okay, it's going to be fast enough. Lu Jingzhi likes this kind of obedient. How to toss it is my business, but if you dare to be disobedient, it will be a big deal for you.

"This young master, what do you command?" these words became a routine for Forty-Nine.

"Let's get ready, and tomorrow we'll go from village to village and see if there's any tax that can be collected. "Lu Jingzhi, "In addition, I will be of great use to call the zombies who moved things with the former tax officer." ”

"To collect taxes?" Sijiu Mune's face suddenly came to life, "This young master, are you asking me to go with you to collect taxes?"

"I don't want to. Lu Jingzhi glanced at his face and knew that he was very willing, but he was just deliberately teasing him, "Or I'll let Yinxin go with me." Maybe she knows more villages. ”

"This young master, the little one is willing to go. The smaller ones know more than the silver heart. "Go collect taxes, that's a fat difference. Collecting more and collecting less is in the mind of the tax officer, and the head of any village is not allowed to pat the tax officer's ass. When you enter the village, at least you will not be short of food and drink.

"Then why don't you go and arrange preparations for the young master? I will delay the time to go out early tomorrow morning, and I will pick your skin. Lu Jingzhi scolded with a smile. The mood that was originally depressed by the ghost ride has also become much better under the infection of Sijiu. Even when it came time to eat dinner, there was a smile on his face.

"Brother Jing, what are you laughing at? Li Tangtang sat next to Lu Jingzhi, eating a thick soup boiled with potatoes on the side, a large plate of peas, and a plate of onion rings fried with egg mixture.

"Sister Rong'er, I'm going out for a day tomorrow, you have to be obedient here, okay?" Lu Jingzhi remembered that he hadn't told Tangtang that he was going to collect taxes, in case she came to find her tomorrow but couldn't find it, wouldn't she be scared and anxious.

"Oh. Sugar Candy darkened her face and put the spoon on the plate.

"Sister Rong'er, are you unhappy?" Lu Jingzhi was very sensitive to the girl's expression, at the beginning, he paid attention to Senior Sister Xuan'er a little more, and he could notice that Tangtang was jealous, but at this time, there were only two people, him and Tangtang, where could he not see it.

"Nope. Tangtang said in a low voice, "Brother Jing went out to save the lives of both of us, I know." ”

Lu Jing's heart was shocked, he had never told Tangtang what he was going to do here, but Tangtang still guessed it. Although she rarely inquired about anything, based on what she saw and heard, she guessed in her mind little by little that Lu Jingzhi had to go around between those living dead all day long, so that she could not be killed and that she would have enough to eat.

"Sister Rong'er is so smart. Lu Jingzhi deliberately said lightly, "Then will you be bored alone?"

"No, it won't. Tangtang shook her head and said, "Yinxin said that she can teach me to make clothes, and when I am older enough to hold needlework and scissors, I can make clothes for Brother Jing." ”

When Lu Jingzhi heard this, his heart softened, and he told Yinxin to clean up the dining table and coax Tangtang to sleep. Although he couldn't sleep so early, since Tangtang was separated from his brother, he had to hug himself before he was willing to sleep. Let Tangtang put a pillow on his arm, and looking at the clouds with electric snakes dancing outside the window, Lu Jingzhi himself fell asleep.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
