Nightmare Card House

Three days later.

Nottingshire town, hall.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows in the hall, Fang Tian could clearly see the towering city wall not far away.

There are still large areas of dark red blood stains printed on the city wall.

Until now, Fang Tian could no longer tell whether it was from humans or those left behind by the monsters after their death.

Regardless, it symbolizes the bloody battles the town endured.

I remember that when he first came here, Fang Tian was really uncomfortable with the pungent smell, but now, Fang Tian is used to it.

"Mr. Fang Tian, ​​what do you think?"

Everyone turned their attention to Fang Tian.

It's just that Fang Tian's attention is now focused on the shadow eagle outside the window.

It seems to be watching over itself.

It's really troublesome, there are eyeliners everywhere...

"Ahem, Mr. Fang Tian, ​​His Highness Bray is asking for your opinion."

Butler Pate coughed lightly and gently pushed Fang Tian aside with his elbow.

"Yeah," Fang Tian hummed slightly, came to his senses, nodded and said, "Oh."

No need to ask at all, Fang Tian could even guess all the bad things that Bray encountered.

Since arriving in Nottingshire, Bray has been suppressed from all aspects.

Bray was like a helpless child, allowing himself to be manipulated.

Obviously, Bray was angry to a certain extent now. He looked livid, gritted his teeth, and yelled: "Damn it! Why don't you get a penny financially! Where are the taxes! Where are my taxes!"

Although Bray is still the nominal owner of this town, if this continues, Bray can't even afford daily food.

Pate sighed and felt extremely helpless. He explained: "We tried to collect taxes from the Chamber of Commerce, but they told me that the previous city lord had already collected taxes for twenty years in advance, so..."

"Hell! Then give it to me for thirty years!" Bray roared loudly at Pate, wanting to vent his anger.

But what can Pate do?

Peter sighed heavily in his heart.

The so-called twenty-year tax is just a superficial statement. In fact, the entire city's tax revenue has been completely controlled by the Adila Chamber of Commerce in the city. They have already paid taxes to the Chamber of Commerce, and naturally they will not pay taxes to Bray. As for Those common people will not pay taxes even if it is not the annual tax season.

Hobson said in a deep voice: "Your Highness Bray, the weekly pay day will be in three days, and the guards' salaries have not been paid yet. If they cannot pay their salaries by then, the guards may cause a lot of turmoil. ”

Bray gritted his teeth. He didn't expect to end up like this here, "Pate, where's our money!"

"Your Highness, in addition to repairing the castle for us to live in, there are also the salaries provided to the servants, the pensions of the guards who were killed in the previous battle, the consumption along the way, the manpower you recruited, all of which add up, we are almost out of money. Used up."

Fang Tian stood aside and looked at Bray who was almost furious. He couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. Until now, he didn't even know who the opponent he was facing was. It had to be said that he did a terrible job.

"I don't care! I want to get the money! If you don't want to give it, just ask the civilians for it!" Bray stared at Pate, "Take Hobson with you! I don't care what you do, anyway tonight, I must see the money!"

"That's not possible, Your Highness." Pate hurriedly dissuaded him, "We are new here and have no foundation here. Once there is public dissatisfaction, we..."

"This won't work, and that won't work either! Then tell me! What should I do? Do you want me to starve to death, young master!" With eyes like this, Brai Hong grabbed Pet's collar and said in his ear: " Peter, don't come back until you can finish this! Think carefully, do you want to die yourself or those civilians? "

"Hello, Your Highness Bray."

Suddenly hearing Fang Tian's voice, Bray felt a chill on his back for no apparent reason. The blood that originally surged to his head quickly subsided, and his mind became calmer.

Bray put down Pet, took a deep breath, turned his head and looked at Fang Tian.

Fang Tian rubbed his neck lightly and asked lazily, "Your Highness Bray, are you ready?"

"Preparation? What preparation?"

"You should understand that some people in this town do not welcome you. Forcing taxes on civilians just gives those people a reason to drive you out."

Fang Tian stared at Bray. Everyone present had seen these things, but Bray was the only one who lost his mind due to anger.

Bray gritted his teeth, holding back a surge of anger, "What if! I, the heir to the principality, am going to starve to death here?!"

"So I ask you, are you ready? Prepare for war." Fang Tian stared at Bray, "Many people will die. If you are not lucky, you will die too. If you are afraid, it is better to leave here obediently... …”

The corner of Bray's mouth twitched, and then he slapped the table hard, and he said loudly: "I'm not afraid of death! It's impossible for me to go back obediently! Fang Tian! As long as you can get back what belongs to me, everything I listen to you in everything!”

"Very well, keep your anger."

Fang Tian said, lightly rubbing his shoulders, then suddenly raised his hand and reached out to a servant standing behind.

"boom!"

A fireball burst out from the palm of his hand and hit the young servant standing at the entrance of the hall.

Shunfa's fireball technique was so sudden and without any warning that the servant had no time to dodge. He was hit in the chest by the fireball and hit the wall hard.

A burnt smell.

There was silence in the hall.

No one knew why Fang Tian would suddenly attack a servant.

"First of all, let's clean up from the inside." Fang Tian stood up and said coldly, "Hang his body up and hang it outside the castle to let everyone know that this is the fate of betraying His Highness."

"Damn it! You're actually a spy! How did you do this, Pate! You were sneaked in by a spy and you didn't even know it!" Bray reacted, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and shouted to the remaining servants, "Still stunned What are you doing! Didn't you hear that? Damn it! You lowly bastards!"

The remaining servants were frightened, and they reluctantly lifted the body on the ground and quickly left the hall.

Bray looked at Fang Tian and clenched his fists tightly, "Fang Tian, ​​I will entrust this matter to you. You can do it with confidence. No matter what happens, I will help you with it!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will handle all these matters. Our cooperation has always been very pleasant." Fang Tian smiled and glanced at Hobson next to him, "I need to do something, it's a bit troublesome to be alone. , I need some help from Hobson’s people, do you mind?”
