Chapter 179: Tax Collector

"Judging by the way you look, you should also know that this statement is idiotic, so surely it can't be Viscount Andrei's meaning, right?"

The tax collector was very embarrassed, if he said the right thing, he would prove that he had just committed an idiot, and if he said something wrong, he took off the viscount from the water, and for a while he couldn't speak at all, just glared at Li Ang fiercely.

"Don't look at me with such a gaze, if you stand here and stare at me for a year, I won't lose anything," Li Ang said coldly: "Next, I will pursue you for another matter." ”

He slowly approached the tax collector, stood a meter in front of him, and asked, "How can I intimidate my people?"

The tax collector was even more difficult, he had indeed intimidated the townsfolk just now, and Leon was indeed the heir of Lord Campbell, so the other party didn't ask any questions.

"The most important question is why this kid didn't die with the rest of his family!" thought the tax officer through gritted teeth.

"It seems that you don't have any ideas," said Leon, "tie them up and take them to the manor!"

As soon as the words fell, Jeff and Eric immediately ran over, each carrying a bundle of ropes on their shoulders, seeing that they were already familiar with this routine, they had already prepared.

"Stop! you dare to be rude to Viscount Andrew's tax officer!" the guards behind drew their weapons and scolded the two elated middle-aged men.

"Viscount AndrΓ©'s grandfather is the Minister of the Interior, the Marquis of Baird!" In the end, these people still moved the name, because the other party was powerful, and they didn't seem to care about the Viscount.

Except for Li Ang, only the captain of the garrison, Grace, knew the real backstage of Viscount Andre, and Grace was about to privately inform Li Ang of the identity of the other party, but he didn't expect to be called out by the other party in advance.

Sheriff Carey was shocked, he had heard of this marquis, who was in charge of the kingdom's finances, but he didn't expect it to be a noble elder who occupied the lord's estate, what should he do?

Thinking of this, Kai Li's expression was a little nervous, he wanted the lord to teach these arrogant people a good lesson, but he was afraid that Li Ang would offend such a big man just after he came back, and it would be a little difficult to deal with it in the future.

Jeff and Eric also stopped, they knew the weight of a marquis, so they looked back at Leon and waited if there would be any other instructions.

"Tie," Li Ang said in the tone of the tax officer just now, "If you dare to resist, you will be killed." ”

He had also thought about what topic to start the conversation with Viscount Andre after the manor, but he didn't expect to meet the Viscount's subordinates in Locke Town, which gave him a good topic, so he had to bring all these people over.

He is a lord, and it is completely untenable for the other party to run to the territory to collect taxes from any point of view, and it violates the dignity of the lord, and he can be at his disposal from the laws of the kingdom and the territorial system, even if he kills a few people to demonstrate, it is no problem at all.

Therefore, the person who knew his identity and dared to resist was either a noble person, or he was self-sustaining and powerful and felt that he could ignore it, and the sheriff did not occupy either, but he took two steps back and shouted: "Whoever comes over will beat him back!"

There were more than a dozen people under him, and only three people got out of Li Ang's carriage, and the tax collector thought that he would definitely not suffer under such a disparity in strength, but it was impossible to attack the local lord, so he immediately decided to retreat first,

"Let's go!" After saying that, the tax collector wanted to retreat, and it was not too late to see the viscount when he got to the manor.

Suddenly, one of the guards said, "My lord, beware!"

After speaking, he drew his sword and swept, and a long arrow flew away with a "bell", and the people around him were shocked, and immediately looked up, only to see that about ten elves appeared on the roof opposite, all holding bows and arrows aimed at them.

Two girls also appeared near the building behind them at the same time, and the ponytail girl on the left was the most eye-catching, she was dressed in full body armor and held a long sword, and she was heroic. The black-haired girl on the right was not carrying any weapons, but she was smiling and seemed to be unconcerned about the people in front of her.

"When did these people appear? Are they all each other's subordinates?"

The tax collector had just been rescued by his subordinates once, and at this time, his face was pale, and his heart was still beating with a puff, and with the arrow he had just made, he understood Li Ang's determination to leave his own people, and looking at the people who appeared on the field one after another, he could find that the young lord was simply prepared.

"Thankfully, I ordered the two of them to go back and inform the Viscount in advance......," he said, glad at what he had just done.

But the next scene he saw made his heart begin to sink.

Another girl appeared in the field of vision, although she was petite, but each hand held a dagger full of cold light, and there were two people who appeared at the same time, that is, the sheriff's subordinates who had just returned to report the news, they were now depressed, and there were some scars on their bodies, it seemed that although they had moved their hands, they were still caught by the girl.

The tax officer and the two people standing next to him looked at each other, they were both second-order, but they still shook their heads slightly at the tax officer, meaning that it was of course best not to do it.

"Lord Viscount spent so much money to support you and you in vain!" the tax officer scolded the two most powerful subordinates, but he knew his ability very well, so he could only hang his head helplessly,

"It seems that you all understand your situation, so I will save some face for you, and follow my convoy by myself for a while, and if anyone thinks they can get out, they can try. ”

After saying this, Li Ang no longer paid attention to the tax officer and his men, and turned back to the residents of Greenwood Town, and Kaili immediately greeted him, he now had countless words in his heart to ask, but because the identity of the other party was no longer the same, and there were more important things at the moment, he could only continue to keep it in his heart.

"Your Lord, you're going to the manor now?" asked Carry, "Iβ€”I'd like to go with you. ”

Carey had been holding his breath ever since the nobleman had taken possession of the lord's manor, and he had finally waited for a justifiable time, and of course he wanted to see for himself how Leon drove the nobleman out.

"Well, you'll be in my carriage in a moment," Leon quickly agreed, and the faithful sheriff had made only a small request, which he would surely fulfill.

At this time, the news of Leon's appearance had spread all over Locke Town, and the central square was crowded with people who had heard the news, and there were almost hundreds of people at a glance, which was already equivalent to two-thirds of the number of people in Locke Town.

When they saw Leon looking over here, the previous noisy voice immediately became much quieter, and they were all waiting for the lord's speech.

At the same time, a slightly immature voice suddenly sounded, which was very obvious in the silent square.

"I've seen this lord before!"

This is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, staring directly at Li Ang's face, pulling a middle-aged woman next to him and saying.

The woman was his mother, and she quickly patted the child and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you meet the lord!"

"I've just seen it!" Teenagers of this age are generally a little reckless and rebellious, and they don't have much concept of the majesty of a lord, but when they heard that their mother didn't believe it, and no matter what the current situation was, they twisted their necks and said: "The last time those robbers came to our town, it was he and the knight sisters and mercenary uncles over there who beat the robbers back!"

After finishing speaking, he asked Li Ang, "Lord Lord, I'm telling the truth!"

Leon smiled at the boy and said, "How do you know?"

His words were equivalent to admitting, and the young man shouted excitedly, "Yes, I knew that I was not mistaken, I was curious, so I secretly hid on the roof over there and saw your battle, you and the knight sister happened to kill several robbers, so I remember it very clearly!"

"Lord Lord, when I grow up, I will fight those robbers and protect the people of the town like you!"

"That's right...... My lord, I should have seen you too!" another man walked out, "I'm the owner of the tavern, do you remember?"

Seeing Li Ang nodded, the boss was even more excited, and a pair of rough hands wiped around on the apron, "You still had dinner in my tavern at that time, or did I serve it to you myself!"

For a little man like him, a lord who had drunk and eaten in his tavern was an honor that deserved to be excited for a long time.
