Chapter 360 Civil Disturbance?

"Well, it's okay..." Just after arriving in Sovata City, the mortal smoke and rain here let out a sigh of relief, because the order around them was still stable, and it seemed that there was no trouble, and it seemed that there was still time. m

"What's okay?" Li Huailin asked strangely.

"Where's your house?" The world of mortals and misty rains here asked non-stop.

"This way." Li Hualin pointed in the direction.

The two immediately walked towards the Duke's Mansion, and arrived at the villa in the center of the city in a short while. Stay and take a good look.

"Master Marshal!" The guards here have been replaced by regular soldiers brought over from the Second Army Corps. Their combat power is more than one grade higher than that of the city guards. This is why McCann temporarily transferred here to prevent accidents. Seeing Li Huailin came over, and the soldiers here immediately saluted and said.

"Where is McCann?" Li Huailin asked directly.

"The deputy commander is having a meeting inside." The soldiers here immediately reported, "Do you need me to inform you?"

"No, let's go in now." Li Huailin said.

The two immediately came to the cabinet room on the second floor of the Duke's Mansion. As soon as the door opened, it was a busy scene. McCann, who was processing official documents on the table, immediately stood up when he saw Li Huailin, and said, "Marshal, you are finally back. "

"Come on, follow me to the Ministry of Finance for a meeting." Li Huailin said immediately.

"Yes." McCann followed immediately, and the three of them came to the Ministry of Finance next door. It was also busy here, and Li Huailin quickly called out Oliveira, who was running around here and did not obey orders. .

"How's the situation?" Li Huailin hadn't even opened his mouth yet, and Hongchen Misty Rain asked first.

"Uh... my lord, who is this?" McCann had already seen the misty rain in the world of mortals, but Oliveira here hadn't. Seeing this adventurer asking himself, Oliveira here didn't know whether to answer.

"I am the wife of your lord." Li Huailin hadn't answered yet, and Hongchen Misty Rain said directly.

"Huh?? Huh?" Li Huailin looked at the misty rain in the world of mortals in surprise. Pulling Hongchen Misty Rain and whispering, "Hey, when did you become my wife? Is there such a thing?"

"nonsense,

I don't say it's your wife, who will listen to me. "The misty rain in the world of mortals also replied in a low voice.

"Also..." Li Huailin nodded, and then said to McCann and Oliveira, "Yes, he is your new Duchess."

"I've seen Madam!" The two of them heard that it was actually the Duchess. Immediately straightened his face, saluted and greeted very seriously.

"Ahem, how's the situation?" Hongchen Misty Rain felt a little embarrassed at this moment, and coughed twice to relieve his embarrassment. Then continue to ask.

"That's it, my lord, madam, now we are in a very big trouble, and we are trying to solve it..." Oliveira said immediately.

"Nonsense. Can there be no trouble? Who will pay the 70% tax? How can there be a lord who collects such a tax rate." Hongchen Misty Rain said immediately.

"No ma'am, the trouble I encountered here..."

Oliveira here was just about to explain, when there was the sound of hurried running from the stairs, and the four of them turned their heads to look. A soldier hurriedly rushed in front of the four of them, and shouted loudly: "My lord! The big thing is not good!"

"What's the matter!" McCann stepped forward and asked.

"A large number of farmers gathered at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion. They probably came from nearby villages. Now nearly 5,000 people have gathered slowly, and the number is still increasing. They said they saw the Duke's return. I want to see the Duke." The soldier here replied immediately.

"What!" Hearing that McCann and Oliveira were both already, they knew that the taxes here were really collected, but they didn't expect that the villagers would surround Li Huailin at the gate of the Duke's mansion, and immediately tensed up.

"Look, something has happened." The world of mortals here didn't know about taxation, so she pointed to Li Huailin and said to Oliveira and McCann, "Your Excellency is confused, you also Follow confused, don’t know if 70% tax can be collected? Why don’t you stop this guy.”

"This... ma'am forgive me..." The two of them bowed their heads immediately after being told by Hongchen Misty Rain. Indeed, they also had a responsibility. As cabinet ministers, it was their duty to dissuade the lord from inappropriate behavior.

"Forget it, it's mainly because of this guy's good deeds." Hongchen Misty Rain said, "What do you think we should do now?"

"Don't be nervous, I don't think it's a big deal, it's just being blocked by a group of villagers at the door, watch me solve them in minutes." Li Huailin said spreading his hands.

"Does the lord need to send troops to suppress it?" McCann asked immediately.

"Hey, you have already aroused the anger of the people. If you suppress it again, the whole territory will be reversed." Hongchen Yanyu said immediately.

"Oh? Suppression? Why?" Li Huailin said strangely, "Didn't they come to thank me?"

"I want to thank you for Mao, I can't wait to tear you into pieces, okay?" Hongchen Yanyu said.

"Please don't compare me with those ordinary lords, please, look at my charisma, even if they are here to tear me into pieces, as soon as they see me stand up, I promise to kneel down and kowtow every second .” Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.

"Hey, you're not sick..." Hongchen Yanyu raised his forehead and said.

"Hey...why don't you believe me, it's time to show you the charm of the master." Li Huailin waved his hand gorgeously, "Go, let me handle them alone."

After speaking, Li Huailin walked directly downstairs.

"Master Marshal! Lord Marshal!" McCann immediately shouted nervously, and at the same time shouted to the soldier who reported the news: "Notify the people of the Second Army and the City Guards to rush to the front door. If there is any danger, the first Time to protect the Lord Duke, otherwise I will cut you off."

"Yes!" The soldier here said immediately.

"Hey, you really want to go." Hongchen Yanyu here thought that Li Huailin was joking at first, but he didn't expect that Li Huailin really walked towards the main entrance, and asked while chasing behind Li Huailin.

"I have said that there is nothing to be afraid of." Li Huailin said as he walked, "I have seen the tens of thousands of troops of the Demon Race. Can I still be afraid of these thousands of villagers?"

"It's not a question of whether you're afraid or not. The question is that if you use strong tactics now, things will get worse." Hongchen Misty Rain said.

"I know, isn't it just the soft policy? I'm the best at this. You see, I'll stand on the stage and make sure everyone kneels down and calls me dad." Li Huailin said with a smile.

"..." Hongchen Yanyu directly raised his forehead, "You bastard...can you give me a normal thought, have you ever seen such a time when the rebels would kneel down and call you father?"

"Fuck, when did I become the leader of the thieves?" Li Huailin said, "Besides, they just blocked our door, and they don't necessarily come to rebel."

"If you don't come to rebel, can you still come to thank you for your failure, 'Thank you, Lord, for collecting our 70% tax', 'Thank you, Lord Lord, for making us unable to live'?" asked the red dust here.

"Why are you so smart?" Li Huailin said in surprise, "The idea is actually the same as mine. I thought I was the only one who wanted it."

"Smart ghost! I'm seriously studying this issue with you." Hongchen Misty Rain said.

"I also said it very seriously, oh, I saw it, there are really a lot of people." The two walked to the gate while talking. Sure enough, there was a dark crowd at the gate, and Li Huailin's house had already been taken away. The gate with a width of more than ten meters was blocked, and there were more and more guards around. Although the villagers at the gate were just waiting patiently and did not rush to the gate, the guards inside all looked nervous.

"Marshal, deputy marshal, there are more and more people outside, and now it is close to 10,000 people. We are short of manpower, what should we do?" A team captain rushed over at the door and said to Li Huailin and McCann.

"Where's our troops?" McCann asked immediately.

"I have sent someone to notify me before I come back, but it is expected to take 2 hours." The soldier here replied.

"Marshal, I suggest waiting until our troops return..."

Before McCann finished speaking, Li Huailin waved his hand directly and said to the captain over there: "Okay, go open the door and tell them, I'm here to see them, don't quarrel with me."

"What! Open the gate?" McCann, Oliveira, and Hongchen Misty Rain were all shocked.

"Hey, are you really not sick?" Hongchen Yanyu stepped forward and said.

"Isn't this sincerity? You see that they have woolen sincerity through the gate. Besides, if they really want to rush in, can you block it with an iron gate?" Li Huailin said with a smile, "Okay, look at my means."

"Okay, I'll see how you break it." Hongchen Misty Rain said while holding his forehead.

"That one over there, go open the door." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.

"Yes...yes, Marshal..." The Marshal gave the order himself. Although the soldiers here were worried, they still carried out the order and ran over immediately. A few soldiers opened the door as soon as they opened it.

"My lord duke has come to see you in person, please be quiet." The soldier here shouted to the villagers in front.

"Is the Duke coming to meet us in person? Here... everyone, be quiet and follow me." An elderly villager in his 70s at the front shouted to the people behind.

The 10,000 or so villagers immediately shut their mouths and walked into the Duke's Mansion in an orderly manner. Before they had walked a few steps, they saw Li Huailin sitting there on a slightly higher platform for viewing the scenery.

"My lord!" "My lord!" The crowd was excited, and the guards next to them immediately became nervous.
