Chapter 167, the squire who came badly
Walking through the wooden house building, Gu Erdan finally arrived at the legendary village chief's office.
Looking at the dilapidated thatched house in front of him, and then at the wooden house next to him, which was not too exquisite, but could also shelter from the wind and rain, Gu Erdan shook his head and sighed at the incorruptibility of the former village chief, pushed the door and walked in.
Seeing this, the four black warriors quickly stood on either side of the door, and once again began to confront the orcs outside.
In the room, there are already guests who have been waiting here for a long time.
There are three people in total, two of whom are orcs.
One of them was a male, very burly, with exposed skin, and there were many places where there was no hair anymore, replaced by hideous scars.
The other orc is female, much smaller than her companions.
But this only refers to orcs.
She was covered in black hair, and even the most slender arms were two circles thicker than normal humans.
It's not that the muscles are solid and thick, but the bones are naturally much thicker than normal people.
And her two big paws that look like dogs and cats, if you count the meat pads, I'm afraid they have a big face for a normal person.
If this is a slap in the face, the concussion on the spot will be light.
Sitting between the two orcs, it was a human, a middle-aged man with thin cheeks and a grim smile.
Seeing Gu Erdan come in, the middle-aged man rubbed his hands and smiled kindly.
"Welcome to the village chief, introduce yourself, I am a local squire, called Yang Lin! These two are Militia Captain Carl and Hunting Captain Yada. ”
"Squire? Can there still be a squire in this place! You weren't robbed! ”
Hearing Yang Lin's words, Gu Erdan was really shocked.
Living in the middle of a group of orcs, and not having their pants ripped off by the beasts, this is outrageous!
It's the same as when you put a sheep, or a fat sheep, in the hungry wolves and expect them not to eat it.
Don't they all say that orcs advocate force and pay attention to the principle of big fists?
Could it be that this group of orcs has evolved to be reasonable?
Thinking of this, Gu Erdan's heart suddenly ignited a flame of hope.
However, before this flame could rise, it was extinguished by the other party's basin of cold water.
I only saw the squire named Yang Lin, and a bright smile appeared on his face when he heard this.
"Although they are brave, they are not very good at business, and I am better at buying and selling things, so I am responsible for helping them sell the prey they hunt and the medicinal herbs they gather, in the end, this is all their money, how can they rob their own money!"
Yang Lin's words made Gu Erdan's expression stiffen, and he already understood the identity of the other party.
After a long time, this guy is a rich man!
The reason why this group of orcs didn't rob him was probably because they took his favors and relied on his connections to buy and sell supplies, and in essence, they had become his thugs.
So the question is, with this guy here, is he the village chief or himself the village chief?
Moreover, the other party came with the two leaders of the village and entered his house uninvited, which was no longer a welcome, but more like a warning.
He was warning himself that the village was full of his people, and it was okay to be the village chief here, but don't be nosy.
After taking a deep look at the other party, Gu Erdan's face gradually showed a smile.
"I didn't expect there to be a hero like you in the village, it's really rare."
"No, no, no, it's not this village, in fact, I have real estate in the nearby ten miles and eight villages, and I am also responsible for the purchase and sale of nearby villages."
"Oh! I didn't expect you to even have a branch! Congratulations! ”
"Where, it's just a small business, it's not as good as Your Excellency, you should be a member of the Earl's clan, it's really a prominent background."
The two guys brag to each other and finally get to the point.
Gu Erdan looked at Yang Lin who was smiling, and said after a moment of silence.
"Mr. Yang came here in a really timely manner, the contemptible person has just arrived, and he doesn't know the rules here, so he just wants to ask Mr. one or two."
"Don't dare to ask for advice, you must know everything below."
"That's good, I've heard that the annual tax here is ......"
"Black Wolf Village has a total of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and a sheep farm, it is not lacking in food and clothing, so the people are prosperous, there are 1,300 people in the village, according to the calculation of five silver a year for one person in the earldom, a total of 6,500 silver, that is, 650 gold coins, a total of 10,000 acres of fertile land, one acre of land is handed over two silver a year, a total of 20,000 silver, that is, two thousand gold coins, a farm, 100 gold per year, and all village taxes add up to a total of 2,750 gold! At the end of each year, the contemptible people will go door-to-door to collect taxes! No more, no less! It will definitely be handed over to the village chief before the end of the year! ”
"You take it?"
"That's right! This is to avoid trouble, these villagers are short-tempered and prone to disputes with others, so it is more convenient for me to collect them. ”
When he said this, Yang Lin looked up at Gu Erdan and the corpse witch Bhopal who was standing aside.
"By the way, the village chief, this border area is not very safe, please don't walk around casually at night, and bother the soldiers not to travel at night, there are too many robbers, and it is easy to get into trouble."
If there was still some politeness in the previous words, then Yang Lin's words at this time were already a naked threat.
Gu Erdan laughed angrily when he heard this.
Boy! Just a rich man! How dare you threaten yourself so blatantly!
This is an attempt to rebel!
Lean forward! Gu Erdan had a kind smile on his face.
"What if, I mean if, I have to come out at night?"
As soon as the words fell, Carl, the werewolf strong man who had been grinding his nails next to him, made a move.
On the other side, the female werewolf Yada performed more directly.
His hands instantly grabbed the table, and his sharp nails popped out, directly chiseling through the plank.
Yada grinned suddenly, the hair on her face exploded, revealing a mouth full of fangs.
Looking at Yada, who began to bare his teeth at himself, and gradually leaned forward, and had a big bite to bite over, Gu Erdan always felt that this scene was familiar.
Isn't this a watchdog that sees a stranger?
Speaking of which, Gu Erdan really learned how to fix the guard dog.
Ignoring Yada's fierce expression, Gu Erdan lowered his head and rummaged in his pocket.
Seeing that the other party dared to ignore him, Yada suddenly opened his mouth and was about to roar.
And at this moment, Gu Erdan finally found something, took out a chicken leg and slammed it directly.
Yada, who was about to shout, was directly choked by the chicken leg and fell back to the table.
I want to roar, but my mouth is full of fragrance.
You can eat it directly, you are still threatening people.
Yada, who was holding a chicken leg in her mouth, looked at the two people next to her, and after a little hesitation, she still chose to start chewing.
She also wanted to roar, shake off the chicken leg and pounce on the other party, to show the werewolf's bravery.
But the problem is that this chicken leg is a little fragrant, and it's a pity to throw it away directly, why don't you wait until you finish eating it first? Anyway, it's not bad for a few seconds.
A crunching sound sounded, and Gu Erdan couldn't help but shudder when he looked at the female werewolf chewing and swallowing the bones together.
This tooth! Let's grow it from a snack stone!
