In the afternoon, Chen Hansheng and Kalanda strolled the streets of the town. In this small town, but there are many merchants, the two of them are not very conspicuous. In addition to them, Glad and Leo also brought a group of people to gather information.
It ’s naturally not enough to just listen to the boss ’s words. They must go deep into the town and understand the real situation. While looking at it, Chen Hansheng compared the two towns with Floro as the control.
Obviously, apart from the thick and strong, well-prepared materials, like the baron's mansion of the fortress, most of the houses here are rougher than the town of Floro, and many houses can only be described as shacks. Compared with the Floro townspeople, the people here are also more sick. Many people have thin cheeks, sunken eyes, loose hair, thin body, and a typical undernourishment. Especially the children here are mostly short and stunted.
"It seems that the taxes are heavy here. These people compare with the people of Floro Township. Not only are they not good physically, but they are also not very good. You can see how they looked at us dumbfounded by life. Not good. "Chen Hansheng sighed.
"That place in Floro town can be said to be a special case. The Count Carlos left it there for many years in order to show that he had no intention of governing the land, especially for the inspectors who came to the capital." Kalanda It ’s more common for this kind of town scene,
However, it ’s really squeezed here. You see that there are no trousers to wear, only a rag around the inhabitants have seen several. Towns around the kingdom, to Flo Ronaldo is not much free, so embarrassed that not much. "
"Hey, it's awful, the more miserable it is, the better it will be for us to work. If they don't do it bad enough, how can we show that we are good?" Chen Hansheng shook his head gently. Power can increase food production, and it can make a simple world. It's still mixed with this bird. "
"However, these ... can these residents really be changed? Although I sympathize with them, you look at their eyes, it seems that nothing is thinking ..."
Chen Hansheng hugged Kalanda's shoulder and said, "You still haven't come away from the position of the noble lady. I haven't really experienced their feelings."
"I'm not a noble lady." Kalanda said flatly.
"Yes, you are not, but your education is not worse than them."
"Before, there were always criticisms from these people at the bottom that they were numb, ignorant, and short-sighted. At first, I thought it made sense. But then there were more places to go, and there were more people. Speak without back pain.
Will he not love his grandson when he sees the old man? Did you see that girl? Will she have no one in her heart? Did you see the child? Has he ever thought of what he wanted to do?
If you have been in contact with them carefully, ripped off their precautions, and talked with them, you will find that each of them has their own ideas. But the problem is that they have no money, no ability, no vision, they can't do it.
They are numb because they don't understand, they are ignorant because they don't know, they are short-sighted because no one tells them what will happen after turning over a mountain in front. However, when we come, everything will be different. "
After Chen Hansheng finished speaking, he saw Karanda looking at him with a trace of worship in his eyes.
The two shook from the end of the town to the other, and then shook it back, and no one cared about them. Chen Hansheng said: "I thought that the baron would get in touch with us when he got the news that we were here. I didn't expect him to stay on."
auzw.com "You are observing this town quietly, and he must be watching you secretly."
"Long time with me, you are talking more and more like a poet."
The two passed by a place that was obviously a small square. From afar, he saw a lot of people gathered. He thought he would find some hawkers here, but in fact there were no stalls here. The group of people was waiting for two people to be sentenced.
Two men were tied to the square's torture frame.
A man in charge is declaring a crime: "... Tuchin, and his son Sova, evaded the transit and commercial taxes of Lord Baron, each whipping fifty."
The manager apparently had no mood to explain to these serfs, and the two guards whipped up with a beckoning. Both men's mouths were blocked, but even this made a dull cry.
"This whip is wrong, it's life-threatening." Only three strokes over there, and Calanda discovered the problem.
Chen Hansheng saw that the crowd finally had an old man who shook his head and sighed. He said, "Old man, do you think this father and son are wronged?"
The old man glanced at Chen Hansheng and saw that he was a simple middle-aged man. He was wearing the clothes of those merchant mercenaries. Although he looked a little strange, he did not doubt it. A well-known person, who is willing to help if he has any difficulties. The business is honest, how could it be possible to evade taxes. It must have offended the baron, just grab him a name and grab it. Alas. "
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Hansheng asked.
The old man turned his head and looked at him, strangely said: "Do you have a lot of money in your heart? Which old man didn't want people to die?"
Chen Hansheng nodded in agreement, then gave Karanda a glance.
Kalanda snapped her fingers a few times. I saw a few wisps of air that were indistinguishable from the naked eye blasting from her fingertips, and they were respectively ejected on the two guards who executed, and they saw the shape of the body, the direction of the whip changed naturally, and all of them were standing Aside the stewards.
"Ah ~~" The manager screamed while covering his face, and then fell to the ground.
"What's going on!" The captain of the guard behind the manager rushed over with a long sword, and Kalanda flew a ray of anger again, hitting him on the leg. The captain of the guard was soft, and the body was staggering. On the thigh of the manager, after a short howl, the manager simply fainted.
The steward had a place in the Baron ’s House, and the guards were so frightened that he stopped bleeding around the steward and bandaged the bandages. The two guards removed a door panel from the door of a nearby family, and a group of people hurried up the steward Busy returned to Baron's Palace for treatment.
Tuchin and Sova were slashed with seven or eight whips, and they were already fleshed out. The two of them were left on the scaffold and left unattended. Chen Hansheng and Kalanda stepped forward to split the rope and put them down. None of the onlookers on the scene came up to stop or question them. Chen Hansheng and Kalanda carried the two on their backs and headed towards the hostel.
