"You're angry?" Aryan asked suddenly.

William was stunned for a moment, nodded and shook his head, and said: "I was a little angry at first, but now I don't, I just feel unfair to my father, he has paid so much, and even gave his life for Baron Little, but he ended up like this." ”

"Hehe, this is the aristocracy, mean and unkind, indifferent and ruthless, in their eyes there is only interests, no matter what you have paid for them, as long as you can't continue to create benefits for them, then in their eyes, it is a burden that must be discarded as soon as possible. Arlen's faint tone tore open the nobles' ostensibly noble skins, revealing their true colors in front of William.

William did not refute, although the nobles preached their noble blood and noble character all day long, maybe he didn't understand it when his father was alive, but after the family fell into the middle of the road, how could it be that he didn't know what kind of thing this group of nobles was, but they were all deceiving themselves, and they were deceived by the housekeepers, but now they are completely sober.

However, it was not easy to feel when he came to his senses, only to see William's hands clenched into fists, his face distorted, and his eyes full of pain and confusion.

"Do you want revenge?" asked Aaron again just as the atmosphere was about to fall to freezing point again.

William raised his head abruptly and looked at Aryan with a look of astonishment, obviously not expecting Aaron to say such a thing.

Although the words were not unspoken, the thoughts were clearly expressed through the eyes...... He's your dealer, huh?

Yalian said indifferently: "It's just a trading partner, it's a big deal to change one, anyway, it's a matter of time, this place is still too small, and there aren't too many resources, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come here." ”

As Aaron said, this Straw Mushroom Plain is William's novice village, and the most of them are mushrooms called Straw Mushrooms, and there are not many good things at all, so Alon didn't have much expectations for the trade with Baron Little, according to his estimates, the treasure of being able to have two seeds of the Tree of Life is already very good.

That's why he was so casual in this transaction, because he was just hugging the grass and beating the rabbit - piggybacking.

After making sure that Aaron wasn't joking, William's eyes flashed with interest, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Forget it, after all, it's my father's allegiance all his life." ”

"Hehe, I'm afraid that people don't mean to hurt the tiger, and the tiger has the heart to hurt people. Aaron said lightly.

William was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, his eyes were full of cold light: "Don't worry, at that time, I won't be soft." ”

Aryan nodded in satisfaction, said no more, and walked towards the edge of the town without hurrying.

"Woo ......"

Just when the two of them passed by Aunt Nia's hotel and were about to go in to pack some food, they found that there was already a group of people gathered here, and Aunt Nia's crying voice came faintly, which made William stop.

"Mr. Aaron......" William looked at Aaron, his face full of pleading.

"If you want to go in, you can go in, people must know how to repay it, although this world is a cold world where the weak eat the strong, but you must only accept the bottom line, don't let the fire in your heart go out, otherwise it's just a walking corpse. Aaron.

But his words were destined to be in vain, for William, after obtaining his consent, immediately squeezed in, and did not hear what he was saying at all.

Aaron shook his head and walked in, but he didn't have to squeeze in as hard as William, and under the interference of the power of the soul, the melon-eating crowd who were standing on the path ahead of Aaron unconsciously made way of a wide passage.

In fact, Aaron already knew what was going on outside.

Tax!

Although the tax had been collected not long ago, in order to prepare for the next war, Baron Litt still needed more funds, and of course these Barons Litt could not come out by themselves, so they were all distributed to the heads of the lords, coupled with the increase of the greedy tax collectors, the burden was already very heavy, almost to the point of untenable.

As for the side hustle, it is even more impossible, as long as you do something out of the ordinary, the tax officer waving the tax bill will teach you to be a new person in minutes.

Even if it was hunting, these tax collectors could come up with a lot of hunter taxes, slaughter taxes, meat sales taxes, fur taxes, etc., and it was almost instinctive for these tax collectors, because most of the income would go into his own pocket.

As for the law?

Sorry, this is a barony, and all but the self-cultivated land of the damned freedmen is owned by the baron himself, and the arable land is the same, and so is the jungle and the prey that lives in the jungle!

What the baron says is the law, and the right to interpret the law rests with the tax collector!

Of course, it's okay to ignore that, as long as you have a high enough status, or a strong enough strength, like the instructor, or like Aaron.

The reason why William pleaded with Along just now was to ask Aren for a guarantee that when he couldn't do anything, Aren would come forward to protect Aunt Nia.

In the crowd, the fat-brained tax officer Drew was full of oil, shook a bill, and said proudly: "Brewing water, leather tax, cleaning tax, by the way, and food tax, a total of seven gold coins, plus eight silver coins, this is three months of taxes, as long as you pay it, you will not have to pay taxes in the next three months." ”

"Food tax, Lord of Billions of Radiance!"

Someone next to him exclaimed in a low voice: "There is actually a new tax, poor Aunt Nia!"

"Three months, I see that the next week will come to collect taxes!"

"Shut up, y'all of you!"

Drew glanced around, "Are you going to pay taxes for this poor lady?" I don't have any problem with it, but you still have to pay taxes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone shrunk their necks.

Originally, it was difficult for them to bear such a heavy tax, let alone pay the tax for Aunt Nia.

Seeing that he had subdued the crowd, Drew turned around triumphantly: "Lady Nia, if you fail to pay your taxes today, I regret to inform you that your house and inn will be repossessed as collateral, and at the same time, you and your son will be sold into slavery. ”

"No!"

Aunt Nia exclaimed, "For the sake of the Lord of Billions of Radiances, you can't do this!"

"I can do this, because I represent the law, and even the Lord of Billions of Radiances has no right to interfere with the laws of the nobility. ”

Drew triumphantly announced: "It seems that you can't pay your taxes, come ......"

"Wait a minute!"

William touched his head and walked out.

"Oh? It's little William, what's the matter, didn't Camiso go looking for you?"

Drupi smiled and said, "What, are you going to take over Mrs. Nia's taxes?"

Tax officer Drew didn't look at William at all, the current William is not the William of the past, the current William is just a poor boy, and he is also a poor boy who may die at any time, although he doesn't know why Camiso hasn't made a move yet, but he doesn't think Camiso will give up the privilege that he almost got his hands on.

However, Drew, who was contemplating more new taxes, did not know that Camiso had just passed by not long ago, and had only been carried out.
