Liang Ke listened as he asked Braggart to pour out the little water left in the kettle, and then washed the blood stains on his hands from helping the troll clean up the wound, he shook his hand unhurriedly, and let his hands dry naturally in the afternoon sun.

"Cergus!"

Liang Ke's title began to be less respectful.

"I suggest that you really should carefully study the decrees of the Empire, otherwise...... At the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Gallant issued such a decree, but the basis of this centralized management and unified tax system in the whole country was centralized power. Soon after the founding of the country, the Emperor Gallant rewarded his companions who followed him to death by giving hundreds of lords, and these nobles of various sizes went their own way in their own domains, and within ten years the decrees of the Magna Carta were largely ineffective. Later, in the eleventh year after the reign of Gallant II, the Magna Carta was amended, in which the tax system was clearly revised to read: each region can adjust the tax rate on its own, but the upper limit cannot exceed 35%. This upper limit is mainly to avoid some greedy lords from collecting too high taxes, intensifying the contradiction between nobles and commoners, and practice has proved that the decision of the royal family is very correct, which not only gives the lords autonomy, but also controls them from the macro level, and avoids popular unrest. However, when the decree was promulgated at that time, I don't know whether it was the negligence of the person who formulated the policy or the omission of the clerk, and there was no specific amount of money that the lord would hand over to the central treasury, which made it much more difficult for the royal family to collect taxes in the later period, and even some people with bad intentions refused to pay taxes according to this loophole decree. It wasn't until three years later that the new prime minister came to power and revised the damned tax provisions, stipulating that each person, regardless of the size of the territory, rich or poor, must pay at least one gold coin per year to the central treasury per capitation, and that taxes were levied flexibly in disaster and war years. ”

Liang Ke has to applaud this meticulous and concise elaboration, he first opened with a half-sentence and a sigh, easily bringing the audience into the painful scene of a dark age led by a mediocre monarch, through infinite reverie and the continuous amplification of pain, the image of Cergus plummeted in the hearts of ordinary people, and a few years later in the new round of Gallente's campaign to establish the crown and seize the throne, the role of public opinion will naturally be revealed. After the dark arrow, Liang Ke established a glorious image of himself as young and studious and proficient in government affairs through three story-like descriptions of legal changes, and in contrast, Cergus's incompetence and stupidity became even more apparent. Conrad can only silently panic for his nephew and feel sorry for his daughter, one is because of arrogance and helps him set up a strong enemy, and the other is also because of arrogance and loses a good husband.

Liang Ke rubbed his already dry fingers, stared at the blank Cergus and continued: "This decree has been in use to this day, so even if I don't collect a penny of tax from the residents of the territory, His Royal Highness the Prince doesn't seem to be able to control it. As for how much tax I have paid to the royal family, if His Royal Highness the Prince is interested, you can go to the Finance and Taxation Department to look at the account books, I believe it will satisfy you. ”

This undisguised humiliation was about to drive Cergus mad, and he looked viciously at the enemy on the other side, and roared and unleashed his killer weapon.

"Your Excellency's ability to quibble, I ask you at the end how Grufende ......"

"Enough!"

Before Chirgus finished speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by his uncle, Prince Conrad, who had lost his mind by Liang Ke, and continued to say regardless of it: "Uncle......!

"I've said enough!"

Conrad saw that his nephew's eyes were blood-red and he had lost his mind, and while loudly stopping him, he glanced at the Dharma Saint Azeli, guarding the Sacred Heart of the Law, and quietly imposed a "clear sound" to His Royal Highness the Prince to stabilize his emotions, and a brief gospel chant sounded in the ears of Chirgus, and after a while, he regained his senses, although the resentment in his heart was still there, but after all, he closed up and stopped talking.

Grufende's past with the eldest princess has always been a scandal that the royal family does not want to mention, after all, the eldest princess used dishonorable means to kill the wife of the imperial hero, whether it is Claire the Great or Prince Conrad, they all feel that this is a shame for the family, so even if the secret agent later confirmed that the leader behind the "white-haired wind" bandit group is Grufende, out of guilt, the royal family did not investigate deeply.

After Liang Ke accommodated the white-haired wind bandits, he used the pheasant to send a text message to Conrad, in which he not only explained that he wanted to take in this cancer that endangered the people of the empire, but also reminded Conrad that Grufende might go to the imperial capital to seek revenge, hoping that the royal family would strengthen its protection and not let the tragedy happen again. Liang Ke knew that the dignity of the royal family was involved, so he also sent a private letter to Prince Conrad, in which Conrad praised the young lord's thoughtfulness and composure, and thanked him for taking care of the dignity of the royal family in reply, and asked him to treat the poor soldiers who had shed their blood for the empire.

It was with Liang Ke's reminder that the protection of the palace became more rigorous, but Claire the Great instructed Azerifa to let the assassin in, hoping that his sister would repent in the light of the enemy's sword, and that Grufend would be able to extinguish his hatred in his sister's tears. Therefore, all the actions of Grufende were under the control of Azeli, but fortunately, the man only watched the imperial capital from the top of the mountain all night, and finally disappeared into the night after a sigh, and the well-intentioned arrangement of Claire the Great was a complete success, and so far, the name Grufende disappeared forever in the history of Grunt.

The enmity that had already disappeared was uncovered by the scars of their nephew's personal grudge, and in the end, Grufende died at the hands of the Giront family. At this moment, Conrad didn't dare to look at the tiger-like gaze of the young man opposite, and he asked himself deeply, what happened to the Gallant family now? From princesses to princes, they are all the same narrow-minded and short-sighted, even Cergus, who is known as the "Eagle of the Empire", cannot see his father's broad back. Conrad took a deep breath, forced a smile and said: "Baron Aragon! The facts are already clear, it is the officials of the Supervision Office who have wronged you and your subordinates by investigating and collecting insufficient evidence, and now they have been duly punished, I think this matter will end here!"

As the prince of the Gallant Empire, Conrad had lowered his posture as much as possible, but the young man opposite didn't seem to understand the expectation in his eyes, and answered him with a cold refusal.

"Your Royal Highness, it is true that the torture and abuse of suspects are innocent, but those conspirators who hide behind their backs and instigate their minions to frame the nobles cannot go unpunished, and I think His Royal Highness the Prince should know who did these things. ”

Conrad didn't have to look back to feel the pleading gaze of Cergus, and although he had made a big mistake, he couldn't punish him in public here, otherwise the dignity of the royal family would be gone.

"What do you want?" said His Royal Highness's tone with a hint of coldness.

Liang Ke pondered for a moment, and finally swallowed back the words "investigate to the end and punish the culprit".

"I know that Prince Cergus also did not investigate for a while, and was deceived by false accusers, but he must not let go of false accusers, he must pay the price of blood. ”

Liang Ke almost called out Sandos's name, as a loyal lackey of Cergus, how could His Royal Highness the Prince throw Sandos out to feed Liang Ke, a hungry wolf, if he really let Liang Ke succeed, who would be willing to do things for him in the future? Who could support him as a coward when he became a prince?

"No! It is not guilty to report illegality, and if you are convicted for reporting others, then who will dare to use the law to uphold justice in the future?"

"Is reporting the same thing as framing?"

"No one is going to frame you, a little lord. ”

"Then how did I come up with so many trumped-up charges?"

"Hmph, don't think that if your uncle says that you are innocent, you are really innocent, sooner or later I will find evidence of your crime. ”

The arrogance written in his bones really can't be changed by one or two things, Liang Ke's forbearance made Chirgus forget his defeat just now, and after arguing for a few words, he began to return to his true nature again. Liang Ke didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, he took the bow and arrows from Achilles' hands, the bow was drawn into a full moon, and the magic burst arrow cluster condensed into a terrifying stream of fire, pointing directly at the door of Cergus, he roared: "I don't have so much patience to play with a fool like you to play conspiracy, warriors of the Golden Cang, prepare to fight!"

The dark demon dragon has long been tired of their unnutritious debate, Achilles turned into a cloud of black smoke, jumped into the air with a strange scream, and the terrifying dark realm instantly enveloped the area, and the cowardly were already frightened by the illusory undead creatures in front of them; the frost dragon flapped its huge meat wings, bringing up an icy storm hanging over Liang Ke's head, and the piercing breath was in his mouth, just waiting for Liang Ke to give an order, he first sprayed to death the old guy holding the dragon sword on the other side; the four terrifying three-headed dogs of hell protected Liang Ke in the middle, and the twelve giant mouths shone in each**Law element, blood-red eyes stared at those soldiers who were already unstable, ready to tear a gap in the army at any time to protect Liang Ke's evacuation; Praggart stuffed Atwood into the armor piece on his chest, holding the wheel giant axe that was so big that it was not like words, he still habitually stood five meters in front of Liang Ke, ready to tear apart any enemy who dared to approach; Great Druatwood was not idle, the transparent demon spirit had already secretly turned around when they were fighting, those silly and stupid redtail flames had become Atwood's slaves at the moment, just when the battle broke out, the proud cavalry of the empire would be carried by the mount and rush to the comrades behind himAnd Queen Kardashian, the master of spiritual magic, has quietly fallen on Azeli's shoulders, and she is confident that this Light Wizard will make him her first battlefield slave before he completes his first spell.

This feeling of being in control made Liang Ke release the bowstring without hesitation, but the next moment, the magic arrow that was supposed to tear the space was still hanging there quietly, as if there was an invisible hand holding the arrow shaft, and then, slowly the bowstring returned to its position, and the magic fire on the arrow cluster also turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in front of Liang Ke's eyes.

The magic arrow fell to the ground with a "pop!" and flicked twice and froze. In the sky, the dark realm that was still showing his obscenity just now was also silently dispelled, and the hot sun shining on Liang Ke's face made him feel a burst of pain, as if he had been slapped countless times.
