Chapter 1,406 Gold and Taxpayers

While Bai Yunzi was anxious, he found that his cousin Bai Shengyu was even more anxious and frequently looked towards the exit of the hall.

She soon understood that the other party was worried about that idiot Shui Jingyu being captured.

She didn't understand why her cousin fell in love with each other. Maybe fools had more in common?

Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Shengyu suddenly raised his hand and said, "I also want to know the whereabouts of the tax collector."

"Okay, you can see him right away. Take him away, take him away!" the mayor said unhappily.

There are only four people left.

One woman and three men.

"Okay, does anyone still want to know the whereabouts of that liar?" The mayor glanced at the remaining four people.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then let's start the second question. Five pirates were driving a small boat sailing on the sea. Suddenly they found that there was no food and water. However, they still made it to the shore. How many pirates survived?"

The mayor scanned the crowd.

The four of them were immediately confused. This question was more difficult than the previous question on the number of sons.

There was only one pitfall before, and it still had some logic.

Mei Guangzhan simply gave up and waited to be taken to jail or die once.

"There are five, because the five pirates are all skeletons and they don't need to drink water or eat." A male adventurer raised his hand.

"Take it away, take it away." The mayor waved to the guard.

There were only three people left, Bai Yunzi, the male adventurer who had already landed, and the last one, Mei Guangzhan.

Damn it.

This is a great answer, I can’t even think of it.

Mei Guangzhan sighed.

Bai Yunzi was also desperate. She also thought this answer was good. Didn't pirates just use skull and crossbones flags?

At this moment, she suddenly saw the mayor's second daughter waving three fingers at her.

Did the three pirates survive?

Why three?

The mayor must ask, and you can't just keep it vague.

By the way, it takes three pirates to kill two pirates, eat their flesh, and drink their blood.

"I know, it's three, because..." Bai Yunzi said his guess.

"Take it away, take it away." The mayor asked the soldiers to escort her out without even looking at her.

"Why?"

Damn it, I was deceived by that woman!

Bai Yunzi kept a close eye on the mayor's second daughter.

However, the second daughter of the mayor's family was sighing and shaking her head, without a smile that was trying to deceive others.

"Forget it, there are only two men left, are you willing to marry my two remaining daughters?" the mayor said helplessly to Mei Guangzhan.

After hearing this, Bai Yunzi, who was taken out of the door, suddenly realized that what the second daughter said was "There are only three of you left", and there was no need for her to answer!

Because there is no one left to choose as mayor.

"I do." Mei Guangzhan quickly agreed as he thought about the possibility of getting ashore for free.

"Very good, you can hold the wedding in the church tonight, don't waste time." The mayor said happily.

Delay time, delay what time?

Mei Guangzhan felt a little bad.

…………

Somewhere in an underground prison.

The smell is terrible.

Small and humid.

Ouyang Tian and other seven people are all imprisoned here.

"Hey, don't you give us something normal to eat?" asked an adventurer.

The guards ignored him and just played cards and chatted outside.

"Don't ask, I think our situation is very bad." Shui Jingyu sighed.

"You don't need to tell me that they are all in a cell, how can it be better?" Another adventurer said angrily.

"Hey, buddy, didn't you answer it correctly? Why are you deliberately looking for trouble and being sent here?" Someone asked Ouyang Tian.

Everyone looked at Ouyang Tian.

Ouyang Tian smiled, then pointed to a humanoid man covered in straw in the corner of the prison and said

"He is the tax collector."

"Ah?" Everyone was surprised when they discovered each other's presence.

"Strange, why didn't I find anyone here just now?" Shui Jingyu quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to save people.

After struggling for a long time and feeding the other person some fresh baby urine, the person finally woke up.

Everyone looked at it with disgust.

He is such a kind-hearted person, but this method of saving people always feels wrong.

Only Bai Shengyu looked at him with admiration. He was his own hero. He didn't care about shame, just to save people.

"Thank you, they didn't even give me a sip of clean water." The tax collector woke up and looked at the people in front of him and spoke in pure French.

Everyone can understand them because they are automatically translated into Chinese.

What you are drinking now is not clean water either.

Wait, it seems to be clean.

"Why are you locked up here?" Shui Jingyu asked immediately.

"Go quickly, go quickly, the people here are all devils, they are all devils!" the tax collector said in panic.

No one was surprised at all. This was nonsense. They knew this town was abnormal before they came.

How can one serve guests food that looks good on the outside but is rancid on the inside?

"The devil will talk about it later, we can't get out even if we think about it," Ouyang Tian interrupted, "The king asked us to come to you, where did you put the taxes you collected?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but give Ouyang Tian a thumbs up. Even now, he still hasn't forgotten the gold, which is enough to represent his identity.

"Haha," the tax collector forced a laugh, "This is something only a king can say. You are not liars. The taxes are indeed very large. They are so much that they pile up into a hill. But they are under the devil's ass. I want to take them away."

, will awaken the devil."

Everyone sensitively grasped one key word, devil.

There is a devil in this town, no wonder it smells so bad.

"Devil, have you seen it?" Ouyang Tian asked.

"Of course I have. When I came here last time, they entertained me very warmly. They also said that they had kept the tax money given to the king well for so many years, and then took me to see it."

There was a smile of memory on the tax collector's face,

"I saw it, I saw it, a hill of gold, shining like gold, flowing with the smell of wealth. But then I saw a huge devil sitting on top of the mountain of gold!"

The tax collector stretched out his hand and gestured.

It took a lot of effort for everyone to build up the image of a big devil in their minds from the process of his gestures.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! It has huge arms, strong legs, a ferocious head, many tentacles all over its body, spitting flames from its mouth, and its eyes are blazing.

It's really scary.

This is definitely a god-level creature in the game, the kind that will drive you crazy just by looking at it.

But at this time, they couldn't even defeat a single guard.

The stench seemed to be everywhere, paralyzing their muscles and source of strength.

"I was so frightened that I grabbed a handful of gold and ran away. At first, I was about to flee the town. But because the gold I brought was too heavy, I finally fell to the ground and was caught by them. The gold was gone," the tax collector said painfully.

Judging from his painful tone, it seemed that he was suffering from the loss of gold, not himself.

What a fool whose mind is controlled by money.

Everyone was disdainful.

Only Ouyang Tian smiled. It seemed that the tax collector's words were crude, but he found a lot of useful information.

He gradually figured it out.

The next step is to let my cousin come.

Just like last time.

Everyone was silent.

They racked their brains to think of ways to escape.

Some people pretended to be sick and called for help, but the guards ignored them.

Some people consider escaping from prison, but the dungeon is made entirely of stones and iron bars. The key is that there are guards watching, and many methods cannot be used.

"Damn it, I wish I still had the power I exchanged last time." One adventurer couldn't help but say.

"As long as I still have the strength of a normal person, I can find a way to escape." Another person said bitterly.

"Just wait." Only Ouyang Tian had some free time and rested against the wall.

Everyone looked at him, and some people couldn't help but ask, "Brother, we are all in the same boat. You seem to have a solution?"

"You will know when the time comes." Ouyang Tian was filled with a sense of superiority in his heart.

This is the benefit of having a big tree at your back.

Just like the emperor's private visit in disguise, after something happened, as soon as his identity was revealed, the boss immediately knelt down, and the climax was staged.

Everyone was itching, but they didn't ask any more questions.

They speculated that Ouyang Tian was afraid that someone would eavesdrop, so it would be easy to set up an eavesdropping mechanism in the prison.

Night falls.

The dark twilight can be glimpsed from the entrance and exit of the narrow dungeon stairs.

At the same time, a string of festive music also came from the exit.

"It's wedding music!"

"Look, all the guards are gone."

"They must be there to maintain order at the wedding! This is our chance to escape."

"Take me, and find the gold."
