Chapter 16 le sing?(8)
Without saying a word, Ella led people to the stolen rack. Ravi on the stolen rack heard the commotion and looked up at Ella. The joy suddenly made tears flow down: "Wuwuwu! I am here with Sweden King! They want to roast me like a fish, Wuwuwuwu..."
The Aztlan warrior was driving the way in front, and Ella shouted loudly at the surrounding rioters: "Go away! Let people go! Let people down!"
Several people holding sickles stood in front of them.
"This is an important prisoner," they said, "We are going to stolen her, please do not get close!"
"Stolen a young child?" Ella was furious, "Amy, show them what the real stolen is!"
Amy raised her hand, and a fire suddenly rose at the feet of the rioters blocking the road. The rioters fell to the ground in horror, and while rushing to the sparks on their clothes, they rolled and crawled away.
Around the children's crying louder.
"Okay, now I'm really going to be a god of death." Amy had no choice but to "be one step further away from the 'Friendly Messenger'."
"It's okay, I'll deal with any problems later." Ella said, "Let Ravi down first!"
Several Aztlan warriors stepped forward to pull down the stolen frame, and then untied the ropes on Ravi's body.
Ravi used his lying on the ground, wiping his tears with his pitiful sleeves: "Woooooooooo, I just thought I was going to die. This Almany Federation is too dangerous, even more dangerous than the college. I want to go back to the college..."
"So, what did you do to make this group of farmers want to send you to the stolen rack?"
Ella asked Ravi. She knew that this little alchemist liked to cause trouble. She turned the snake in Ella's crowbar into golden color in Britain, and burned several academy's alchemy laboratories when she was in Sweden... Although Ella thought this was not a fault for a genius, if she wanted to negotiate with the rioters in the future, she had to prepare for compensation.
"Wuwuwu, Mary is not a great nobleman. I was captured by Mary and went to Versailles. I saw that she was very interested in my alchemy potion, so I took the opportunity to ask Mary to ask her to provide funds to fund my alchemy research..."
"What then?" Ella didn't understand what this had to do with Ravi being sent to the stake.
"Then Mary gave me a tax-packing official position. She said that this was a fat man. As long as the tax he received was paid enough for the lord, I could keep all the remaining money for the alchemy experiment. The more I collected, the more I earned..."
"You went to be a tax collector for Mary? And you also had a full bag?"
Ella felt a headache.
Ravi whispered to himself: "But the money that Mary said was too much can be kept by me, and I was caught before I could pay the money to Mary. How could this be said that I was full of my personal pockets... I just raised the tax rate slightly... That's a little..."
"Mary really dared to let a minor girl do such an errand! And she was so instigated!"
"It's not actually considered an instigation." The Earl of France said later, "The tax-protecting officer can leave more money to himself. It has always been an unwritten rule in the federal Almani. In many territories, this position requires money to be bought from the lord. Mary can make this little girl become a tax-protecting officer directly, which can be said to be very fond of her..."
"What and what! I didn't let you talk!"
Ella turned around and whitened the Earl of Ile-de-France to shut up at a glance, then turned around and continued to ask Ravi:
"And what? Because you charged too high taxes, you were caught and tied to a stolen rack?"
"No! I secretly raised the tax rate, and they didn't know how to arithmetic, and they couldn't find it... The key is, wuwu, I don't know what bad luck I had, all the places where I collected taxes had broken out. When I came to my senses, the nearby villages had already begun to riot. I wanted to sneak back to Versailles, but I didn't... and then I was arrested here. Only I was still alive because I was going to be executed publicly. The other guards who accompanied me were beaten to death. wuwuwu..."
"Wait a minute!" Ella reacted, "What you went to collect is that 'health tax', right?"
"Um……"
"You go and help Mary collect this inexplicable tax?" Ella was really angry, "You are just helping the evildoer, right?"
"But, health tax is just the name of the people... What Mary told me was that she wanted to distribute a batch of medicines and some essential supplies to places that were severely affected by the Black Death to control the spread of the plague. This required money, so she decided to tax the areas where the Black Death had not broken out. She asked me how this was done, and I thought it was okay. But somehow, it was simplified to a health tax by the people..."
Hongdao muttered in a low voice: "This policy does indeed have the style of Miss Mary."
Ella just felt her head hurting more and more. Thinking about it carefully, Mary was not an adult either. These two underage girls got together and had such a big deal.
"But Mary at least knew to control the plague. In this way, it was already ten thousand times better than the Count of the Ile de France..."
The Count of Ile-de-France sneezes apart.
While speaking, a turmoil came from the nearby. When Ella looked up, she found that the rioters who had just been scared were surrounded again. Walking among them was a middle-aged man, dressed in a farmer, with a rude appearance, but he seemed to have learned martial arts. He walked with a straight body and a sword hanging around his waist. Walking beside him was a young and thin man, who looked more elegant and might have studied a little.
"You are the King of Sweden, are you?"
Before he could get closer, the middle-aged man started to yell:
"Don't think we're easy to bully. Since we are determined to kill Carolin, we're already tying our heads to our waists. We won't care about adding an extra Swedish king! If we get angry, we can't kill you!"
"I'm not here to trouble you." Ella stepped forward and tried to negotiate with the middle-aged man.
"I'm saying that you're here to trouble us? Look at who is lying under your feet now? This is the tax collector who collects taxes for Caroling! It's because she collected taxes that the Black Death spread to us! She is a witch! If she doesn't burn her here, the Black Death will kill us all!"
"Do you want to hear what you are talking about?" Ella frowned. "Because she collected taxes, it caused a plague? Do you really think there is a causal connection between this?"
