"I'm sorry!" Charaki apologized embarrassedly, rubbing his head in front of Stannis.

Stannis's face was covered in black lines, and the ink was running down his cheeks, and all he remembered was that the commander was looking for information about his tax problems, and then the entire bottle of ink flew towards him, and his whole face was drenched in black.

Sometimes, he really felt that the other party was deliberate, otherwise the imperial army would introduce an IQ access mechanism, and such a woman could also be a soldier, and even a commander!?

Charaki picked up a towel and tried to wipe it for him, but Stannis decisively refused, "Excuse me, I'll do it myself." ”

It took a while for the woman to find the sheet of paper that recorded Stennis violations, and she read it quickly.

"Sir Justine, can you explain your refusal to pay taxes last month?" said Charachi, clearing his throat, trying to make his voice sound serious.

But her image in her heart could not be restored, and Stannis replied with a little teasing: "Didn't I make it clear in front of that tax collector Lauke last time, according to the code promulgated by the Empire, not only do I not have to pay the 400 gold coins, but I even have to return the amount of money you paid before." ”

"Uh......" Charaki was obviously confused by him, and she had never been in a situation where she had to get a tax refund.

"Therefore, it is groundless and lawless for you to arrest me. Stannis cocked Erlang's legs, his expression very enjoyable.

Charaki didn't say anything more, she nodded, "I see, in that case, I'll leave you at the disposal of Lieutenant Vladdy, who is very interested in all kinds of knowledge." ”

Then she stood up and tried to go out and call her men in.

"Don't!" Stannis was shocked, he still remembered the wail of the old man next door who had been locked up in the small dark room just now, and he didn't want to be locked up until death.

He hugged the woman who passed by him and pleaded, "Is there anything to discuss?"

"Let it go!" he pulled at him, and the blanket that Charaki had put on himself was about to fall off.

"Then you have to promise not to lock me up in that little dark room for the rest of my life. Still refusing to let go, Stannis began to talk to the other party about the conditions.

But Charaki didn't understand what he was talking about, thinking that he was threatening his own mistakes, "I told you everything, it was a mistake to put you in a small dark room, and the most severe punishment for a nobleman like you is to pay an extra 20% fine after paying all the taxes." ”

"Nani?" Stannis suddenly let go of his hand in surprise, causing Charaki, who was still tugging on the blanket, to almost fall.

"Hehe, so I'm not going to be locked up in a dark room forever because I can't pay my taxes that double every month?"

"What do you say? Who would have been locked up for so long for paying taxes. The commander looked at him strangely, completely unaware of what he was saying.

Stannis scratched his head, he was also completely confused, "But just now when I was locked inside, I heard an old man next to me calling himself a lord, who was arrested thirty years ago because he couldn't pay taxes and has been locked up until now. ”

Charaki's expression changed to a state of confusion again, "But there are no other lords there besides you?"

Suddenly, it dawned on her, "Oh, I remember, the one next door to you is a mad mage, and it was because he was often alarmist that he was tied up and sent here by the unbearable peasants nearby, so you can't listen to his crazy words, right?"

Well, Stannis didn't expect that passers-by in this world have a hobby of playing tricks, and he was about to be scared out of his heart attack just now.

"That'...... Then don't hand me over to that bitter gourd-faced lieutenant, you say how to punish it, I admit it. Stannis said honestly.

Sharaci smiled, "You have a pretty apt description of my subordinate, so let's do it, you only need to pay off the four hundred gold coins this time, and the fine will not be collected, and you must remember to pay taxes on time in the future." ”

After spending half a day, it turned out that he still had to pay the money, but Stannis was a hundred unwilling in his heart, so he decided to use his personal charm to activate the [Charm Skill].

Immediately, he brewed a smile that he thought was the most attractive and looked at the woman, "Xia, can I call you that?" Actually, I can see that you are a woman with high aspirations, just like your appearance, you must be spotless on the inside, so I think, talking about money, hey~~ I really feel dirty when it comes to my mouth. ”

Surprisingly, when it came to money, Characi seemed extremely sober, "I'm sorry, Sir Justine, if you think that complimenting me can reduce taxes, you are very wrong, and I will never ...... anything that harms the interests of the Empire."

Just as she was speaking impassionedly, there were several knocks at the door.

Sharaci quickly wrapped the blanket tighter, then sat down and asked, "Who is it?"

Lieutenant Vladdy's voice came from outside the door, "Major Shalachi, the messenger of Sean Bernard, and he has brought a letter from His Excellency the Special Envoy for the business of Sir Justine. ”

Hey, it's that Sean Bin 'Uncle' who doesn't spit out his bones, how did he know that he was captured by the Imperial Army? It must have been informed by Bachelor Romon and Knight Captain Korodov in the territory, it seems that those guys are not watching themselves hang up, thinking of this, the lord's heart is still a little warm.

"Is it a letter from Lord Bernard?" Characi glanced at Stannis in front of her, motioning for him to pick up the letter, as she seemed to know how discredited it was to appear in front of her men without even wearing clothes.

Stannis had no choice but to do as she was told, for he had never resisted in the face of a beautiful woman, and he half-pushed open the door, and found Lieutenant Vladdy's still angry face, which looked like this to everyone, and Stannis nodded and took the letter, and then returned to hand it to Charachi.

The woman cut open the envelope with her fingernails, pulled out the letter inside, and quickly glanced up and down with her beautiful eyes.

Stennis was beating wildly because he suddenly thought that if Sean Bin heard that he was captured by the Imperial Army, he was afraid that he would report his conspiracy about the Duke to the Empire, and write a letter to report himself!

After going through so many things, he was not afraid to speculate about the people of the Western Continent with the greatest malice, otherwise he would not know why he died when he went to the guillotine.

The letter seemed to be convincing, and Charaki nodded incessantly.

Finally, she raised her head, her eyes shining with wisdom.

"I know what to do. ”
