Chapter 528: VIP Reception
The port of Calvi in Corsica is the last stop of the Lady Atoka, where not only all the passengers have to disembark, but there are also nearly 1,000 passengers waiting to board, plus other cruise ships and catch seas.
There are too many big names on the cruise ship, and they must make the family feel at home, otherwise the reputation of the Guise family shipping company will be ruined, so the main person is busy at all, but he still arranged a servant to inform him.
"Tell the principal, I enjoyed the trip. ”
Downton gave a small golden ticket as a tip and continued to help with the luggage.
"Your Excellency, there are not enough people on board, otherwise I will definitely get you some. "The servant is very helpless, you say a duke, what's the matter with helping the third-rate opera troupe move boxes? Even if you fall in love with the other party's female troupe leader, you don't have to do it yourself, right?
"Go get busy!"
Downton didn't listen to him.
"Blessed but not!" the servant slandered, "it's a madness!"
"What do they mean?"
Seeing Downton put down the box, the men from the opera troupe were all standing next to him, not saying anything about helping, Hu Tao was angry.
"Jealous!"
Juliet took a handkerchief to wipe Hu Tao's sweat, in fact, she wanted to help Downton, but those actresses gathered around him and showed great hospitality.
Don't look at Downton from a third-rate small country, but he is a duke, as long as he marries him, he will fly on the branches and become a phoenix, so his attitude is very eager, which is also the reason why he is hostile to Downton for what kind of male group members.
The warblers and swallows around them were noisy, and they were sprayed with cheap perfume, and they all poured into Downton's nostrils at this time, making him sneeze several times.
"Look at how much sweat you've shed. Rest and let them move!"
An actress stiff-pulled Downton to sit down, her big boobs deliberately rubbing against his arms, and occasionally throwing a few winks.
"Oh no, the head of the regiment and the tax officer are fighting, go and help!"
The actress who followed Madeleine stumbled back. He roared anxiously.
No one hesitated, and ran to the place of the incident.
"A thousand gold coins of the city tax?
Far away, Downton heard Madeleine's scolding, he thought she had suffered a loss, but after squeezing through the crowd of onlookers, he saw the female head of the group kicking the tax collector one by one, and the unlucky ghost with a blue nose and swollen face fell to the ground, holding his head in his hands, twisting and dodging like a cocoon.
"How dare you hit me. You're dead, and when the security team comes, you'll all be arrested and put in jail. "Because of his position, the tax officer is a god at the dock, and he has always been used to running rampant, but he didn't expect to be beaten by the head of a third-rate opera troupe today, which is simply unreasonable.
"How dare you threaten me?"
Madeleine kicked harder, for the convenience of the road. She changed her dress and wore violet leather armor. Knee-high boots tightly wrapped around the calves, constantly running on the tax officer's face.
"Leader, dissipate your anger!" The female members were startled and hurriedly pulled her, "The other party is a tax officer, we can't afford to mess with it." ”
"Now I know that I'm afraid, it's too late!" The tax officer is also a tough seed. roared louder, "There is a kind of beating Lao Tzu to death, otherwise you will die." ”
A few fallen tax collectors were rolling on the ground, wailing and striking, they had experienced too many similar conflicts. Now it's just pretending to be miserable, and I can cheat more medicine bills later.
"Don't stop me, I'm going to beat him to death. ”
Madeleine was angry, she knew that it was the norm for them to pay more taxes than the opera company, but the damn tax collector couldn't bear to dare to touch her ass.
Dense footsteps rang out, and in less than two minutes, a group of more than 100 heavily armed vigilantes rushed through the crowd, unsheathed their swords and guns, and surrounded Madeleine's party.
"Stinky woman, if you have the ability to be arrogant to Lao Tzu!"
The tax collector crawled up, gasping for breath because of the wound he had touched.
"What's going on?"
The sheriff frowned, Calvi is a large port, and the daily throughput is huge, so there is a security team stationed on duty in order to deal with any conflicts in a timely manner.
"These people refuse to pay the entry tax!"
The tax collector glared at Madeleine fiercely.
"Take them away. ”
The sheriff spoke, and the soldiers immediately moved and approached.
The troupe, all of whom were ordinary people, were frightened by the momentum, exclaimed and screamed, looked at Madeleine, and moved closer to her.
"Wait a minute, how can you conclude that we evaded taxes based on his words alone?" called out the actress who had spoken to Downton.
"Hurry up and restore order to the port as soon as possible. ”
The sheriff didn't pay attention to the actresses at all, they were all human spirits, and their eyes were vicious, and they had already seen through the details of Madeleine's party, and if this group of people had the power to fight with the tax officer, that kid would have been laughing and kneeling and licking.
Working at the docks, who can be pitted, and who should be treated well, they are clear.
"Ha Luha, you know how powerful Lao Tzu is, right?" The tax officer stared at Madeleine's slender legs wrapped in leather pants, and laughed twice, the warden is his friend, and when this woman is imprisoned, he can enjoy her body for a few small dollars.
"If you have something to say, it's a misunderstanding!"
Downton stood up, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the tax collector.
"Which woman's crotch is not clamped and you are exposed? Get out, or I'll beat you up." The tax collector glanced at Downton's clothes, presumably a down-and-out nobleman, otherwise he would have moved things and had no servants, so he didn't pay attention to it, but walked up to Madeleine, and threatened in a low voice, "Don't you let Lao Tzu touch his ass?
As he spoke, the tax collector reached for Madeleine's breasts.
Madeleine was furious, and this time she was going to die, but Downton moved faster and grabbed the tax collector's wrist.
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
The tax collector was about to threaten Downton, but there was a clattering fracture, followed by a sharp pain in the wrist.
Yes!
The tax collector screamed as if an ogre had blown up a chrysanthemum, but the next moment the wail was choked back in his throat as Downton punched him in the cheek.
Bang!
The tax collector flew out of the river with blood spurting. The sky is full of sprinkled teeth.
Everyone around was frightened, and the tax collector lay on the ground convulsing like a dead dog, his jaw and nose shattered, and saliva and blood flowing.
"Is this kid crazy, dare to make trouble in Yves Saint Laurent?"
"Listening to the accent is like a northerner. ”
"No wonder, I've heard that the people over there are savage and rude. It's about the same as the orcs, and today is a sight. ”
The local dock workers listened to Downton's accent, full of a strong sense of superiority, and of course, the tax officer was beaten, and they were also very happy, let this group of nobles eat dogs.
"Arrest him!"
The sheriff roared, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Hey, if you still want to keep your position as sheriff. I quickly apologized to him. ”
A noblewoman saw this scene and greeted Downton with a smile, and behind her was a group of servants carrying suitcases, there were twenty of them, and there was a mighty and mighty one.
Seeing the noble lady talking to Downton, the sheriff's heart suddenly sank, and he quickly waved his hand to let his subordinates stop.
"If you dare to lie to me, Lao Tzu will let your kid walk around without eating. ”
The sheriff was glad he wasn't reckless. In such a short period of time, he found that there were a dozen or so nobles waiting for the salute to be packed. He simply got out of the carriage and greeted Downton and invited him to come along.
"I'm Dibolo, the little white face is popular!"
Watching the ladies cover their mouths with fans and laugh with Downton, the soldiers muttered.
"Shut up!"
The sheriff glared at his subordinates, pondering how to insert the topic and find out Downton's identity. He found that the luxury carriage of the Guise Chamber of Commerce had rushed to the dock, and the president of the Corsican branch had pushed the door open and ran down with an anxious expression.
"What are you doing here, pestle, and why don't you disperse them?" the chairman questioned, and immediately took out a DV crystal and showed it to the sheriff. "As soon as you see this person, notify me. ”
"Who is he?"
The sheriff asked in a low voice, and glanced at Downton, in the crystal, his face and posture were lifelike, and it was absolutely impossible to admit mistakes.
"It's Andrea's proud disciple, and it's our honored guest!"
The servant next to him interjected, only to be glared at fiercely by the chairman.
"Remember, you must receive him with the highest standard and line up to escort him to the Chamber of Commerce. The chairman scolded, "Do you hear that? If you make a mistake, don't do it as a sheriff." ”
There was a cold sweat behind the sheriff, and he was glad that he didn't provoke Downton, otherwise let alone losing his official position, his life would not be guaranteed.
Although Corsica is not the territory of the Guise family, it has been effectively controlled by them, and the words of the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce are more effective than the city lord.
"Damn carrier pigeon, there was a problem on the way, and it was delayed for many days, if I didn't receive Downton, how would I explain it to Andrea?"
The chairman wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained.
"Chairman, that Downton, no, Lord Downton, has arrived. ”
The sheriff took the plunge and reported.
"Huh, where?"
The chairman, who had walked a few steps, was startled, looked around, and then followed the sheriff's instructions to see Downton, as if his face had changed, and his face immediately showed the brightest smile, and then hurried over.
"Your Excellency Downton, I am responsible for all your actions in Corsica. The chairman smiled, "If you have any request, just mention it." ”
Without waiting for Downton to answer, the chairman looked at the guards around him again, "Get out of the way, don't you have long eyes?"
"It's all the tax officer's trouble. ”
The sheriff hurriedly explained, plucked himself out, and he knew that the unlucky ghost who was injured was finished, not only did he not have the medical bills, but he also had to lose his position.
"Where is he? where is he being treated at the infirmary, and I pull him out, break his limbs, and throw him into a stinking ditch. After the chairman finished speaking, he looked at Downton, "What do you think of this treatment? If you are not satisfied, it can be aggravated." (To be continued......)
