"Well, honest man, stop talking nonsense and take out this month's tax."

In a village outside Veluga, a Palavin sergeant said to the farmer in front of him very dissatisfied.

Their team has been here for more than ten minutes. All his subordinates speak Kara German with a Palavin accent. The Rhodok farmer has always pretended not to understand. Fortunately, the local dialect of the sergeant was as good as the hometown dialect, which made the guy who tried to fight the tax finally lowered his head and admitted that he understood what they were talking about.

"But, my lord, we have already paid taxes to Master Feng Byron, and there is not a lot of one. We are here in the fief of Your Excellency Alain. We handed over the money to him, and he can testify for us."

The farmer made a very aggrieved look, and at this time several people walked over. They all know that Feng Byron's tax is much lower than the little prince's set. If this trick works well, they will use the same method to refuse to pay taxes.

Of course the sergeant knew what these people thought, so he punched the farmer without hesitation, drew the sword out, and said viciously:

"Don't think I don't know what you are thinking, you pig! Your lord Prince has ordered those who refuse to pay taxes to be put in jail and sentenced to three years of hard labor. If you don't want to be beaten in jail, take out the money!"

"Don't take the money, please don't take my husband away."

The peasant woman, who had been hiding in the house and peeking out from the beginning, ran out immediately and stuffed a few old silver coins and a handful of copper coins into the sergeant's hands.

The sergeant glanced at the money in his hand, frowned, looked up again at the couple's house, and hummed slightly.

He threw the silver coins into the tax box, and put the copper into his pocket.

"Poor ghost, 30 Farr, not enough for us to drink..."

The soldiers turned and left, and the couple entered the house. They have guessed the result, but still feel scared when they think about it.

With their example, other people in the village no longer dared to oppose paying taxes to Prince Harau.

After the lap, the box brought by this team was half filled, although most of them were copper coins, but at least the number was enough, and they didn't have to worry about getting along with each other.

The team rode on the traveling horses they had brought, fed them with forage from the village, and then hurried to the next village.

But they had just walked on the other side of the village. On the other side of the village, the owner of the village, Byron's knight Elaine, and a few cavalrymen had just stepped over the fence by the village. One of their horses carried a strong stag that was shot to death by an arrow. This was the best trophy of this hunt. Eleon drove the road contentedly and leisurely, boasting about his experience of hunting snow leopards when he was in Vicia, his face was full of his unique triumphant expression.

He originally hoped to show off in front of his leaders through the spoils, but although many people were indeed surrounded, the report was far from what he had hoped.

"Those bastards, this is the land granted to me by Lord Byron. What does it have to do with them? How dare you take what belongs to me..."

After listening to the villagers' words, Eleon was furious, and regardless of whether the prince was the prince or not, he drew his sword directly and shouted:

"Those are not the prince's soldiers, but a group of bandits in disguise! Soldiers, come with me to catch all these bandits!"

Eleon waved his sword and pressed his legs, and the horse under his hips sprinted immediately, and the cavalry and horse archers behind him also followed closely, pulling the reins one after another, and the swords were unsheathed.

Eleon and the others were very fast, and within a few minutes they met the tax-collecting army on the road outside the village.

When the sergeant looked at the peony flag waving in the distance, he knew that it was Feng Byron's people who had arrived. This is also normal. The king promised land in villages and towns outside Byron Veluga, and he gave the land to his knights. "My vassal's vassal is not my vassal." By convention, even the king does not have the right to directly intervene in the affairs of Elaine's territory. The prince does disrespect Elaine by doing so.

The sergeant sighed and ordered the troops to stop. Although he didn't look down on the people of Byron who they called the "hillie knights", he still had to give face to him. No matter how young a knight is, he is also a nobleman. The civilians who offend the nobles have always had no good fruit.

He reluctantly led people to Eleon and hid the box. He felt that he only had to deal with it, mentioning the prince and Konis, the other party could not help them.

However, he obviously underestimated the temper of Elaine, the Vickia man, and overestimated his patience.

As soon as the two sides met, before the sergeant had time to salute, Eleon rushed up with a roar.

"Get me all these robbers disguised as soldiers!"

The sergeant was stunned, and didn't know what to do for a while. When he hesitated, Eleon's cavalry surrounded them all, and their weapons were all directed at them.

"Someone reported that you are robbers from the north, pretending to be soldiers and swindling wealth. Take them all back to me!"

Before the sergeant could speak out, Elaine rode over and beat him off the horse with a warhammer. Although the other soldiers resisted at first, they did not dare to fight a kingdom knight in the end. After ensuring that the investigation was clear, they would be let go, and the weapons were disarmed one after another.

Naturally some of them can understand the form, knowing that this is just a struggle between the prince and Baron Byron, and they are probably involved in confusion. But they still have to choose to cooperate, the form is better than people, they are not opponents of these cavalry units.

Eleon took them back to the village, and after collecting some "criminal evidence", rushed to Pegunde and handed these "robbers" to Fatis.

Of course, the prince could not ignore a group of soldiers who lost contact. The investigation team set off immediately, because Eleon had no intention of concealing anything, so they quickly figured out what happened.

The prince was very annoyed ~lightnovelpub.net~ almost led the team to find Elaine to settle the account, but Konnis stopped him at a critical time.

He reminded the prince that it was unreasonable for them to levy taxes directly from Byron's territory, or even the territory of Byron's vassals. Especially now that it is not only the villagers of Eleon and his fief, but the prince’s tax collection team has been boycotted or even resisted the tax by force in most of the villages around Veluga. Those businessmen also opposed raising the tax rate and jointly appealed to his newly appointed officials. They were too busy to die, and because of the deliberate promotion of Byron, there was a shortage of supplies. Prices in the city were also skyrocketing, and complaints among the citizens were very loud.

He didn't believe that Elaine dared to do this without Byron's backing. If he went to argue with Byron as a prince, he would only be at a loss in the end. And the local people will depend on Byron because of this, and it will be even more difficult to control Veluga.

The prince accepted Konis's suggestion, gave up the action in the house, and instead sent a messenger to Pegunde to negotiate with the other party.
