255 Rumor Makers

"Auntie, after discussion, we have decided to report your request to the 'government' and ask them to send you an earl." Belier walked to the house where he had sold porridge to them, and stood at a distance to the mistress of the house.

Hearing this, the woman who had been hiding behind the door vigilantly at first walked out: "Is it? Are you really going to report to the government? That's good. ”

"Yes, auntie, I'...... I swear in the name of the Savior and the saints that what I say is true. After all, he grew up in a society of faith, and had heard too many stories about hell, and he was always a little uncomfortable when he thought of making false oaths like those monastic abbots who swore false oaths in the Middle Ages, but he thought about it for a while, anyway, there must be a reason to transfer troops, and the situation of the villagers asking to send the count was always reported, and it was not false, but it was just a little concealment of the truth, can it be considered false? Immediately, he swore fluently and with peace of mind that he would no longer fear the flames of hell.

"Oh, that's great, please come in, please come in, you guys are really reasonable people." The peasant woman was overjoyed by these words, and did not notice the unnaturalness of the other party's words, although Belier's deception was clumsy, but she was not a person with rich experience and a clever mind, but just a rural peasant woman, where did she understand the things in officialdom? She turned to the room and shouted, "Old man, they have agreed to our request!" ”

"Then don't invite them in!" After saying that, the man also walked to the door of the house to greet them.

Without saying a word, Grirrel silently followed Belier into the house. Telling the truth is not welcome, but swearing can be a guest. This really frustrated her, and she thought about the next step to cheat. It made her feel even more uncomfortable, why use rumors for rumors? But she also knows. In the present situation, the truth is neither popular nor will bring her any benefit to her career, unlike the quarrel with the archbishop, when she could save some money if she won the argument, and here she told the truth in no favor for the government except to make her and her companions hungry, so she dared to quarrel with the archbishop at that time, but at this time she did not say a word, and did not expose Beryl's lies.

A false oath won more than just a roof over their heads for the two. There was also dinner for the owner's treat, this time with eggs on top of the mush in the wooden bowl, and a large piece of butter looming inside. It can be seen that this is a delicacy that the owner and his wife usually rarely eat. And I am afraid that it is not only the private collection of the owner and his wife - although the owner and his wife have never left the house, what secrets are there in such a village? After a while, several neighbors who saw the "government officials" entering the house rushed to inquire about the news, and they were all overjoyed to learn that they would report the villagers' wishes to the government. They should have also contributed some delicacies to these two dinners, which they are usually reluctant to eat.

Seeing these things, Glarel felt that it was even more difficult to swallow than the light paste they had brought out before, because she knew very well that they were trying to fool the family. The government would never send them any "Count Edward", in which case the government is now busy with many things that cost money and manpower. It wouldn't have been done in the first place.

"Ugh." Grirrel knew that their ultimate goal was to make a good life for the villagers of Barbado. But this incident frightened the villagers of Barbado, and made them feel more painful than under the rule of Count Edward. It made Grerell feel as if she was doing something bad, and she was confused.

After a few sullen bites, she divided the eggs and butter among the drooling children next to her, and then took out the money and paid for Beryl and her share.

"Oh, this ...... How does this make. ”

"The food and lodging of the staff stationed in the village are paid for by the government." Graire replied that the original solution was to make a kind of tax offset, which was more budget-friendly, but this method could only be used in the vicinity of Tournest, and the rest of the world was soon changed to cash payments or other equivalents, and now Grirrell understood why the latter seemed uneconomical, "This is a government rule, and we are not trying to burden you." ”

"This ...... It has always been the ...... to entertain those who come from above Always ......"

"We can't eat for nothing, that's the 'government' rule."

Originally, the owners and his wife were going to make their own beds for them to sleep in the barn, but in Grerel's opinion, eating alone was already uncomfortable for her, and she would not be able to sleep well if she took up the villagers' beds. So she immediately and resolutely dismissed the idea, and dragged Belyl to sleep on the haystack they had slept on the night before.

Seeing that they were so determined to go to sleep on the haystacks, the original joy in the hearts of the villagers who had successfully petitioned because they did not cooperate gradually faded, and now the fear that oppressed them disappeared, and other emotions prevailed.

"It seems that the people in the 'government' are not bad people."

"When they first came, I was afraid that they would greet us with their fists and whips, and at that time, I was sweating, but I didn't expect them to be angry."

"Alas, alas, they are kind and good people, and we treat them like this, and let them blow cold winds, drink gruel, and sleep on haystacks, and they are not angry with us, and promise to tell us our intentions."

"The appearance of eating is very elegant, I heard that he can read and write, he is a child of a good family, not a recruited bandit."

"We didn't give them food, but they didn't catch a chicken or steal our turnips.

"Oh, they didn't get things done here, and if they go back, they will be punished. Then we will do evil, and I would be glad if we could repel the robbers, but these two men are not bad, they have no evil voice, they reject them, they make them suffer, and teach them to eat whips from their heads, and I think the gods do not approve of such things. ”

"They said that it was the 'government' that made them eat and pay the bills, and I think that the 'government' that has such an idea and can send such people should not be so bad."

"Moreover, they didn't mention conscription from beginning to end, they just said that they wanted to teach our children to read."

"Yomuro, is that what you said true? Or did you hear it wrong? ”

The person whose name was called said unhappily: "Can the conscription matter be fake?" If you don't believe me, go to Aronael and ask! There has been a notice posted there, saying that there are conscriptions, and all kinds of things about raising the poll tax, and I begged them to read it to me, and that's it, the streets are full of new conscripts, and if you go, you will know, as long as you don't worry about delaying your work in the field, just go and go, I won't stop you, but I'm afraid that if an able-bodied person like you goes, he will be caught by the conscripts, and he won't be able to come back. When he had said this, he went back to his house on crutches.

When the villagers saw that Yomuro was angry, they did not dare to question him, and dispersed.

When it was quiet in the dead of night, Jomuro got up and crept out of the house and went to the village.

These two people are really killing themselves! He thought, it was hard to incite the villagers to rebel against the government, but the government sent these two stupid children to come down! They do not beat the villagers, second, they do not rob the villagers' property, third, they do not forcibly latinize, fourth, they say anything about "teaching literacy", they look like saints, and they praise the "government" in their words, and the money they spill increases their credit, and they endorse the lawless and arrogant and arrogant government like gold, and see that the hearts of the villagers are about to be invested in the new government. You have to kick it!

When he kills these two men, the government will send troops next time, and at that time, the villagers will cut off the idea of cooperating with the new government out of fear! (To be continued......)
