    He was secretly ruthless in his heart, but facing a group of muscular angry orcs, the fat manager couldn't help but feel a little scared, smiled stiffly a few times, and patiently explained to the villagers: "Dear fellows, it's not that I don't understand everyone, the lord My lord has sent a letter, and there is good news from him. I will soon be engaged to the daughter of the head of the Sharp Tooth Wolf Clan. The Sharp Tooth Wolf Clan is a big tribe. Marrying with them, the Lord Lord has a reliable Yue family. From now on, we Xuefeng There are many benefits to receiving it. But the engagement requires a large gift, and we have to share the Lord's worries."

    He was almost moved to tears, recalling the past emotionally, "If the Lord's father is still alive, seeing his son get married, How happy you are. Everyone worked hard, and you will pay more for this year, and the rent and tax will be guaranteed to return to the same way next year." The

    manager's words were moved with emotion, and most of the villagers were very simple, so they couldn't help but be persuaded. Some were very honest, and put themselves in the lord's shoes: Yes, the lord's engagement is a big deal, and to marry the daughter of the chief of a big tribe, of course, a lot of bride price is required. His father suffered misfortune to protect us, and we must not treat his son badly. Some people were still dissatisfied and muttered: "Even adding 20% ​​is too much." The

    fat manager immediately nodded sincerely: "Yes, but this year's situation is special, there is no way. Next year I will definitely put aside my old face and persuade The lord collects less tax." When he returned, he sent a letter to the capital, asking the lord to send more people.   

      Lin stood at the back of the crowd, watching the fat man's clumsy performance with cold eyes, and suddenly asked loudly: "Sir, my brother is getting engaged, I'm very happy, can you let me read my brother's letter. I also want to write a letter to my brother , send him blessings." The acting was exaggerated and guilty, and he deeply suspected that the 20% tax increase was the fat man's own idea.  

      Lin was right to be skeptical. His half-brother just sent someone to deliver a letter, asking the manager to pay the taxes on time. Although it is impossible to love the people like a child, it is not so frantic that it requires the villagers who have suffered from the disaster to pay more taxes. The fat man heard the news that the lord was going to be engaged by the messenger, and after a second thought, he thought it was an opportunity he could take advantage of, so he thought of adding 20% ​​to the tax. He didn't know how long he could work here, so of course he wanted to get some benefits as soon as possible.

    Now being pierced by a clear and sweet child's voice, the fat manager choked, how could he dare to take out the letter. He raised his eyelids and looked at the overly beautiful half-beast boy in the crowd, unconsciously feeling ashamed. The fat man put away his round and big belly, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Master Lin, you are still young, can you read? If you have anything you want to say to the lord, just tell me." "

    We Brother's private matter, can I tell you? And I am learning to read from Wu, so even if there are words I don't understand in the letter, I can ask Wu for advice." Lin looked calmly and glanced at Wu. He has the soul of an adult and has a strong language learning ability. He has learned the commonly used orc characters in the past few months, and it is not difficult to read a letter.  

      Seeing the fat man's expression getting more and more guilty, the witch man also stroked his gray beard, and helped his apprentice: "Yes, Xiaolin is smart, and he has learned a lot of words within two months of studying with me, you Show him the letter. He is the lord's younger brother, and his brother is engaged, so he will definitely give a congratulatory gift. On the day of the wedding, he will go to the capital to attend in person."
