"It's ridiculous."

Constantine was angry, Milton was not only incompetent, but also seriously derelict in his duties, almost giving the city of Salonica to the old nobles, which made Constantine more uncomfortable than Salonika being captured by the Ottomans,

At the very least, the Ottomans would not carry out large-scale persecution of Christians in the country, and this group of old nobles simply did not treat people as human beings, where would they care what doctrine did not allow and so on.

Constantine paced back and forth angrily,

"Why don't you go?"

Seeing the old farmer hoeing slowly, Constantine couldn't help but ask,

"Noble man, I'm old, I've lived here all my life, and I don't want to leave."

The old farmer muttered,

"This world, it's all the same there, who will take us people seriously? In the eyes of these nobles, we are just tools. ”

"I also advise you, don't think about going against these people, these people are relatives of the emperor, the gold is expensive, the whole country belongs to others, and it is useless to resist."

Constantine was stunned, and left silently for a while.

Back in the procession, in the carriage of the carriage, Constantine stared blankly, stared ahead, muttered incessantly, and his voice was very small,

Laszlo listened to it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask,

"What do you say? Your Majesty? ”

Constantine stopped talking, glanced at Laszlo with hairy eyes, and did not speak.

"Don't stop on the road, get to Thessaloniki as soon as possible, get !!"

As soon as the silent Constantine opened his mouth, he gave the order to speed up, and the situation in Saloniki must be rectified as soon as possible.

All the way to the gallop, the carriage soon came to Thessaloniki,

"Hey, what's the matter? Running so fast? Rushing to God? ”

Approaching the city gate, the soldiers guarding the gate waved their hands and stopped the carriage,

Originally, in order not to disturb the civilians, Constantine specially erased the family crest on the carriage, which is why the soldiers did not recognize the identity of Constantine and his party.

At Constantine's signal, Laszlo lifted the curtain, jumped out of the car, and said with a smile,

"We're running businesses, passing by here to see if there's anything of value."

"Running a merchant?"

The soldier was a little skeptical,

"Where's your goods?"

"Later, we'll just come over and have a look."

"Oh, that's easy to do."

The soldier smiled strangely and spread his hands at Laszlo,

"What do you mean?"

Laszlo was puzzled and did not react at all to the soldier's actions,

"Pretend you don't know, huh? Give money! ”

The soldier was arrogant, pointed his nostrils at Laszlo, and almost wrote the words "I am a villain" on his face.

Laszlo also came to the fire, robbery, right? You know, the castle of the general private territory may be the lord will ask for the city fee, like Salonika, an international city, Constantine did not have a Duke of Salonica, this is a direct territory of Constantine, and in order to promote the commercial circulation of the country, Constantine has explicitly abolished the city entrance fee, like this soldier's practice must be contrary to Constantine's order.

"Don't you know the edict of Emperor Constantine? It is illegal to collect city fees in Thessaloniki. ”

"Hey, that idiot."

The soldiers seemed to be amused by Laszlo's words, and they all laughed,

"Today is Constantine himself, and he has to pay me the entrance fee."

The soldier drew his sword and placed it lightly on Laszlo's shoulder,

"Do you know where this is? Don't use the emperor to scare us, without us, it's hard to say whether he can be the emperor, don't you think? ”

"Yes, yes."

The soldiers behind him cheered as he spoke, as if they didn't take Constantine seriously.

Laszlo was also angry by the soldier's words, and immediately put his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and was about to move, and twitched hard, but did not twitch,

Laszlo turned around in astonishment, only to see that Constantine had gotten out of the car at some point, and his face was also pale.

"We give money."

Constantine's tone was calm, and seeing that Constantine seemed to have yielded, the soldier also felt bored for a while, and stretched out his hand,

"Five hundred ducats."

"Five hundred? Why don't you grab it? ”

Laszlo was shocked, this is really a lion's mouth.

"Hey, we're in a hurry, are we really robbing you to believe it or not? At this price, one less is not good. ”

This means that the two of them are dressed quite luxuriously, so he dares to make a lot of money from him.

"Little Vic, it's almost okay, don't go too far."

Among the crowd attracted by the dispute, people who knew each other couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out a few words of persuasion.

"Old lame, don't worry about it, it's none of your business."

was called Little Vic but didn't appreciate it, and scolded him a few words, and the angry old man scolded,

"Old Vic shouldn't have given birth to you, such a thing, ruining the family style of the Vic family."

The old man scolded very badly, but little Vic just didn't hear it, and urged Constantine and the others to give money.

"Nobleman, don't give it, I see that this bastard thing dares not to let you in."

The old man looked angry, and little Vic was anxious when he heard this,

"Old cripple, don't cut off my wealth, I'll tell you, if you do this again, I won't be polite."

"Okay, old man, it's okay, we'll just give it."

Constantine comforted the old man a few words, and little Vic smiled with satisfaction,

"That's right, wouldn't it have been like this earlier?"

"Don't blame me for collecting too much, all this money has to be handed over to the top."

After collecting the money, Vic tried to exonerate himself, Constantine was no longer in the mood to listen to this, and as soon as he was released, Constantine took Laszlo and walked straight to the city hall in the city center.

The speed of the two was so fast that the servants who worked in the city government did not react, and the door was kicked open by Constantine, accompanied by a roar,

"Milton !!"

Milton, who was sleeping soundly, was frightened, and opened his eyes in a daze,

"Who? Something to look for..."

The words came to an abrupt end, and Milton saw the appearance of the person who came, and if he could, he would rather not see it,

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty? ”

Milton rolled over and rolled off the bed, disheveled, and smelling of alcohol, but at this time, he was not sleepy at all, and knelt on the ground, on all fours, and buried his head deeply,

"You're so skilled?! Yes? ”

Constantine vented all his anger,

"I sent you here, and you're going to do something like this? Have you ever been here for so long? ”

"Yes... All is well... Right? ”

Milton replied weakly, which made Constantine almost laugh,

"Okay? You want to die, don't you? If you can do it, if you can't do it, you will roll back to my hometown for me, and don't appear in front of me in the future. ”

Milton was frightened, in this era, there is no right, so what kind of life will it live, and there will be no bones left to be eaten.

"Your Majesty, please condemn you."

In fact, Milton didn't know the situation outside, but he didn't want to care about it, he didn't want to worry about it, and he didn't dare to take care of it, for fear of causing trouble, which is why he kept cowering and didn't dare to do things.

"Condemnation? How dare I condemn you? ”

Constantine sneered,

"Just now, your men asked me for tolls, and I asked you, is this your idea?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Milton denied again and again,

"How dare I do this? These are..."

"Who are they?"

Constantine asked, and Milton gritted his teeth,

"It's all your brother's idea, John Andernicus Valleologo, and I'm an accomplice at best,"

Milton hurriedly kowtowed, not daring to hide,

"Please also ask Your Majesty to see that I am obsessed with ghosts, for the sake of this time, spare me."

"So, none of this was your idea?"

"No, definitely not, you personally gave the order, how could I dare to disobey?!"

Originally, Constantine didn't want to deal with Milton now, scared him, and got the news he wanted, and Constantine's face softened a little.
