Infinite Movie World

Thorin also thought about taking the boat.

Although they don't know how to row a boat, they have already arrived at this place. As long as they pass the waterway blockade of Changhu Town and head north, they will soon reach the north bank, and then rush to the lonely mountain.

The Lonely Mountain was already very close to them, and they couldn't be tripped up here in Changhu Town.

Just when Sorin was about to make a decision, Xufeng walked to the wooden barrel, kicked the wooden barrel, and said in a cold voice: "Shut up!"

The arrogance of the dwarf just now was extinguished in an instant.

They really respected and feared Xufeng, no matter what Xufeng said, they would absolutely obey.

At this time, Bud handed over a dozen gold coins to the dock manager, who waved his hand, and immediately a dozen strong men walked towards Bud's boat carrying fish baskets.

The dwarves looked through the arrow-marked hole in the barrel, all nervous.

Those strong men didn't even look at it, and directly poured the full fish into the barrel.

The dwarves breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the fish were fishy, ​​smelly, wet, and heavy, Bud hadn't betrayed them anyway.

After all the wooden barrels were filled with fish, the strong man on the pier left with the fish basket in hand.

Bud untied the cable and jumped back into the boat, rowing towards Changhu Town.

Changhu Town is a city on water. There are almost no streets here. The so-called streets are waterways, and the only way to get in and out of Changhu Town is by boat.

Most of the houses in Changhu Town are connected together. If you want to walk, you can only walk from the roof.

Bud said in a low voice: "Just now we just passed the wharf, and now we are going to officially enter Changhu Town. When we enter Changhu Town, we will face the inspection of tax officials. If you encounter trouble, please don't act rashly. Let me handle it."

Xufeng nodded, "Understood."

Bud continued to slide forward, and when he reached an entrance, he stopped the boat.

A staff member in patched clothes poked his head out of a small house supported by wooden piles, and said with a smile, "It's Bud! Why did you come back so soon? If I remember correctly, you just went out not long ago." what!"

Bud said lightly: "In the past, the Elf masters were very procrastinating, but today they are very fast, so I can come back earlier."

While talking, Dade handed over a parchment-like pass.

The staff member took it over and took a look, then roughly counted the wooden barrels on the ship, and then nodded: "Okay, you can pass."

"Thank you very much." Bud smiled at the staff member, then bent down to pick up the paddle, ready to leave.

Things have been going well so far.

However, just as I picked up the oars, a strange voice came from the room.

“巴德”

The people in the room gave a lazy waist and stood up from the recliner.

Beside him were two human soldiers in armor.

Bud said to Xufeng in a low voice: "This guy is the town's tax collector, Alfred. Whenever he meets him, he will always make trouble."

Xufeng nodded slightly, but did not speak.

The tax official came out staggeringly, with a stooped figure, protruding teeth, and a mischievous look on his face.

First, he looked at Bud, then at Xufeng and others beside Bud, and then at the wooden barrel on the boat.

Then, he grinned sinisterly.

"Bud, what does it say on your pass?"

Bud said coldly: "Don't you know what's written on my pass?"

The tax officer Alfred laughed grimly: "You have a bad temper, I remember your pass said that you brought back 15 empty barrels when you went to Elven City."

Bud said coldly: "Yes, didn't I bring it back?"

Alfred sneered, "Bring it back? Well, you brought the wine barrel back, but you also brought back some other things, such as these fish and these strangers. I heard that your ancestors If you are the lord of this territory, then you should know the rules of the town! You are just a boatman, responsible for transporting the goods of the elves, and these fish are what fishermen do. You are not a fisherman, and you have not paid the fisherman’s tax, so You can't bring these fish into town."

Bud said in a deep voice, "I bought these fish. Although I am not a fisherman, I always have the right to buy fish, right?"

Alfred shrugged, "Of course you have the right to buy fish, but you can't bring the fish you buy into the town unless you have a fisherman's license."

Bud frowned and said, "These fish are all salvaged by our own port. Is it okay to ship the fish I bought in our own port to my home?"

"Of course not." Alfred twitched his lips, "This is Changhu Town, a place that values ​​the rule of law."

Chapter 1234 Thranduil's Pass

Rule of law

Bud couldn't help clenching his fists when he heard this word.

Alfred kept talking about the rule of law, but in fact it was just an excuse to maintain their rule.

But after all, Bud still endured it, he didn't want to confront Alfred head-on, after all, there were still a group of dwarves hidden in his bucket.

Alfred rolled his eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Besides, your problem now is not only that you don't have a fisherman's license, but more importantly, you brought strangers in without permission. It's just a matter of the fisherman's license. I can throw your fish into the lake and fine you some fines. But you brought strangers into Long Lake Town, which violated the law of Long Lake Town. You and These strangers will be imprisoned, come here!"

Alfred waved to his two men.

The two guards immediately jumped onto the boat, trying to turn Xufeng, Bud and others off the boat.

Xufeng stood firmly on the boat without moving at all.

The guard who will control him in the future can't shake Xufeng even with all his strength.

And Bud clenched his fists and stood on the boat, not giving in at all.

Alfred raised his brows, "Bud, do you want to rebel? Hehe, I have already seen that you have this intention. This is just right, I can let more troops come here and kill you." Completely wiped out with your accomplices!"

Bud said coldly: "Alfred! I don't want to rebel, I'm just a commoner now, why are you always against me!"

Alfred grinned, "Isn't it simple? Because you have the highest reputation among the people. If they want to re-elect the mayor, then you are very likely to be elected. You are the thorn in the side of the mayor. If you have a little problem, we will make a big fuss and catch it, now you understand? Don’t be too good, it will bring you death."

Bud frowned and said, "I don't want to run for mayor!"

Alfred sneered and said: "Do you think I will believe you? No, sometimes, I don't even believe what I say, let alone another person. Want to ensure that you will never become the mayor The best way is to put you in prison. Come, call more people!"

"Yes!"

Several other guards hurried out.
