After leaving the forest, William did not rush back to Sanssouci Palace as soon as possible, although William's mood to continue hunting was affected by Huiander's incident, but William did not want to return to the palace now, he still wanted to continue shopping.
< -》..
So after instructing Sebastian to break the guard into pieces, William took Buel and twenty other guards to a small town on the edge of the forest.
The town was so small, so small that it was just a dot on the map, and there was only one street about three miles long in the whole town, and there were no decent roads in other places.
It is obvious that when William's group entered the town, the residents of the town looked at William and his party with curious eyes, and some children ran and frolicked behind the cavalry as if they had never seen cavalry.
"Your Majesty, this place is too remote, I think we should go back to the palace as soon as possible."
Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him, Buel whispered to William, hearing his words, William was noncommittal "Buel, although there is no prosperity here, but the town naturally has a unique charm, besides, I still have a meal, why don't we eat something in this town and then go back to the palace."
"Your Majesty, Sebastian has prepared the food............."
"Bouel, I think it's better for us to eat something here!"
Looking at the firmness on William's face, Buel had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, as you wish" Seeing that Buel stopped talking, William's face smiled, and then William looked at the scenery around him like a curious baby.
The town was so small that William could see his head at a glance, and the tallest building on either side of the street was only three stories, so William slowed down and watched the people on both sides of the street watching him.
"Hey!
Stranger.
This is Lord Huiander's territory, and every outsider who enters here must pay a tax, let me see how many of you there are."
A lazy voice came into William's ears, and William was visibly stunned when he heard it.
I didn't expect that the town I was wandering around casually still had Huiander's minions.
William looked at it and saw that more than thirty people suddenly blocked in front of William and his party, all of whom were holding muskets in their hands, and the one who spoke just now was the one who was the leader of the group.
"Friends.
We are from the 1st Brandenburg Division, could it be that you dare to stop the army?
” Before Buel could speak, William rushed ahead of Bouel and spoke.
What I didn't expect was that William's words not only did not make the other party scruples.
Instead, it caused a burst of laughter.
The strange thing is that except for William and Buel, who look like bullies, the rest of the twenty royal guard cavalry are all strong men with tall heads and horses, and more importantly, they are all fully armed.
But this man didn't seem to be afraid at all.
All right.
If this person is not a fool, then he must have nothing to fear.
"I said, this is Lord Huiander's territory, do you know what kind of character our master is?
Don't say that you are only members of the army, even if you are members of the royal family, you have to pay taxes to me today!
” Hearing Wyande's name come out of the man's mouth, William wondered for a while.
Could it be that there is really such a phenomenon in the world that the road is narrow?
Saying that, the man pointed his finger, and William and the others tapped a little, and then said "Alright, there are twenty-two of you in all, plus twenty-two horses, and you need to pay a total of sixty-six silver coins in taxes, so give the money quickly!"
"Do you have a Potsdam City Hall or a royal license to collect taxes?"
This time, without waiting for William to speak, Buel preemptively asked questions, if William was asked to ask questions in everything, then wouldn't it be very derelict for him, the head of the royal family.
"What kind of tax permit, here, Lord Hui'ande's words are the law, you twenty-two people need to pay twenty-two silver coins, and a horse needs to pay another two silver coins in taxes, this is the rule here, don't believe you ask the residents of this town, our Lord Hui'an De is clearly marked with a price Tong Suo!"
Speaking of the latter, the tone of the man's words seemed a little smug, but it was precisely because of this tone that William, who was already angry, became even more annoyed.
Looking at the appearance of this group of people, it is obvious that they have been doing whatever they want here for a day or two, but it is obvious that William has never heard of such a thing, so this proves that the situation here has been known, but because of the concern of Huiander's backstage, no one dares to report the situation here!
"Oh, who is this Excellency, Lord Huiander, I seem to have heard of it before, but I have never had the opportunity to meet" "Of course, our Lord Wyander is a big man in the Kingdom of Prussia, how can you see it if you want to" "So, supposedly, your Excellency, have you ever met Lord Huiander?"
William looked at the man and asked curiously, seeing William's gaze, the one seemed to be very proud "Hehe, that's not it, I go to Potsdam with the stewards of several surrounding towns to meet Lord Wyande once a year, my uncle's uncle is the prime minister of the kingdom, and in Prussia it is more than 10,000 people under one person, so ah, those who know each other will leave the silver coins, otherwise you will look good!"
The man looked fearless, and the expression on William's face suddenly became a little angry when he heard that this might be the case not only in this town but in several other towns.
"Hmph, you don't want to receive a penny of tax from me without a tax permit, you dare to tax the army, you are so bold!"
"Hehe.......... isn't it the army, there were a few cavalry who were as arrogant as you last year, but it didn't turn out that I cleaned up and obediently handed over the money, telling you, the army's signboard is useless here!"
"Isn't there anyone who cares about what you're doing?"
"Hehe, who dares to take care of Lord Hui'ande's affairs, and besides, those who are officials can also share some profits from it every year, grass, why am I talking to you so much, pay taxes quickly, don't pay taxes today, don't even think about leaving today!"
At this moment, William was really enraged "Come on.
I arrested these people, I want to see if Hui Ande can cover the sky with one hand!

” As he spoke, the twenty cavalrymen behind William urged the horses to surround the group that was blocking the road "Grass, brothers, do it!"
With that, he raised his musket and aimed it at William.
And as soon as he saw his movements, Bouel immediately shouted: "Kill him right now!"
One of the horsemen rushed in front of the man, and before the man could shoot, the cavalryman's saber slashed at the man, knocking him to the ground in one fell swoop.
"Don't hurt their lives, just arrest them all" Seeing that the man was about to be killed by the cavalry.
William shouted not far away, he wanted to spare the man's life, and then learn about the evil deeds of that Whiander.
"Your Majesty, I want Huiander to do these things.
Lord Locks should not have been aware, so ......."
Buel said to William with a respectful face, and heard his words.
William's face was very unhappy "Bouel.
You are the head of the royal family, not the head of Locks, besides, even if Locks doesn't know about Wyande's affairs, but because he doesn't know it, he is derelict in his duty!
The juniors in his own family can't control and don't understand, and let him harm the people and ruin the reputation of the kingdom, if Huiander is not the juniors of Locks.
Does he dare to act recklessly here?
” William's words made Buel unable to continue, and he had to silently say in his heart, "I'm sorry, old man, it's not that I don't want to help, it's that your own family is not angry" As mentioned earlier, this town is very small and can be seen at a glance, and after William and his party made a move on those bullies, the whole town suddenly became uneasy, after seeing William and others do it, the residents of the town not only did not watch, but ran away quickly one by one, and those shops that were originally wide open also closed their doors in the shortest possible time.
After seeing that the cavalry really attacked, the bullies panicked, and the downed leader roared loudly: "I'm Lord Huiander's person, if you hit me today, the adults will definitely not let you go, you just wait to be cleaned up by me in the future!"
"Palm!"
The two words gently spat out from William's mouth, and after the two words landed, the cavalry behind the leader immediately raised their hands, and the big-eared melon seeds fanned the bully leader's face like no money, and the bully leader cried wolf.
"Stop, who are you and why are you running rampant here!"
Just as the group of bullies had just been subdued, a team of people also quickly rushed over "Who are you?"
"We are the ninth squad of the sixth squadron of the Potsdam Public Security Department, why are you beating people here?"
The people who came seemed to see that William's gang was not easy to mess with, so they stopped when they were about thirty meters away from William and the others, and then shouted from a distance.
Seeing the arrival of the vigilantes, the bully leader obviously seemed to see a savior, only to see him crying out for help while struggling fiercely "Rustin, you bastard, help me, these guys are robbing me and trying to murder me!"
"Oh my God, Sandris, how did you come to be like this, outsider, please let Sandris go, or I will arrest you for robbery and murder!"
Well, William now knows that the bully leader is called Sandris, but it doesn't matter if he knows it or not, because this person doesn't have much time to live in William's eyes.
"Is that your name Rustan?
We are soldiers of the Royal Guard, and this gang collects some fictitious taxes from us, and I need you to arrest them."
"No kidding, stranger, Rustan is my buddy, I see that you are still stubborn when you are dying, let me go quickly, or you will all go to the prison cell of the Sheriff's Department for a big meal!"
Seeing Sandris's red and swollen cheeks and the corners of his mouth with blood, William secretly thought in his heart that it was really a pair of masters and minions, otherwise why would he even have a hard mouth.
Hearing Sandris call himself a buddy, Rustan felt unhappy for a while, how could he call this lawless bully brothers, if it weren't for Sandris's master being too big, Rustan would have wanted to clean up this arrogant boy a long time ago.
But there is no way, who makes the master behind Sandris a big man who can't even be provoked by the high-ranking officials of the Sheriff's Department, he Rustan is just a squad leader, and he can do nothing in vain.
"Stranger, I advise you to let this Sandris go, we can't afford to mess with the master behind him.
Even if you're in the military, I don't think your superiors can afford to mess with that person."
Although Rustan was not very reluctant, he still had to think of something for this Sandris, and it was undoubtedly the best choice if the soldiers were to retreat.
"Could it be that Huiander is really this terrible?
Or is it that the laws of Prussia have been trampled under the feet of some people as a blind eye!
” William took a few steps forward and said righteously.
"Young man, maybe you grew up under the protection of your elders so you don't know the cruelty of this world, this world is like this, those big people can easily decide our life and death.
You should also look like a nobleman.
Wyander is not terrible, but what is terrible is that he is the second in line to the throne of his family, and the current patriarch of this family is none other than the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Lord Duke Locks, and Wyande's sister is the future Queen of Prussia.
We can't afford to mess with this kind of person."
As he spoke, Rustan's face also revealed a hint of helplessness.
"Haha, boy.
I told you a long time ago.
Now you are afraid, acquaintance, let me go and compensate me for my losses, or you will not want to leave here."
Sandris still provoked the bottom line in William's heart, and William was really inspired to be angry as he wished "Buel, kill him!"

William gave instructions to Buel behind him, and heard William shout.
The shock of Rustan and Sandris was palpable.
Buel took William's orders and waved his hand at the cavalryman standing behind Sandris.
"You can't do that, boy, don't ............"
"Bang" A cavalry gun was put against Sandris's head and fired, and the result of shooting at the head was that Sandris's head was completely destroyed, blood mixed with brain pulp sprayed all around, and the cavalryman's body was covered in filth.
"You..
You..
You ........"
Rustein pointed his finger at William, but he couldn't speak "Okay, now the world is quiet, you don't have to worry about the things here, tell your superiors truthfully when you go back, and you can take this thing."
As he spoke, William took out a seal from his bosom and printed it on a piece of paper "Tell your superiors that I am very dissatisfied with today's incident, and that they must give me a result within two days, and that I need to know how long and where this situation has existed, and if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, then all the officials of the entire Potsdam Sheriff's Office will give me a fuck!
This is my original words, please tell your superiors as they are!
If they don't believe it, you can show them this piece of paper, and all these scum here are handed over to you to take care of, I have already written down your name and number, if you do a good job, then I will not blame the past, if one of these people runs away, you will be guilty.
Remember, don't leave anything to chance."
As he spoke, Rustan, who was in a daze, glanced at Sandris's corpse "It's so unlucky, I still want to eat, Buel!
Let's go!
” As he spoke, William passed by the queue of Rustan and the others like a gust of wind, but Rustan just watched the cavalry pass by without saying a word.
It was only after William and his party had completely disappeared from the streets and the sound of horses' hooves had faded or even disappeared that Rustan recovered "Quick, show me all these people, and tell Lord Wyande about this place as soon as possible, Ferrion, I'll leave the matter here to you, I'm going back to Potsdam as soon as possible, remember that don't let any of these people go!"
"Rustin, you really believe those guys, I think they're tricking you" It was none other than Ferrion, who was Rustan's deputy "Ferrion, do you remember when I boasted that I had seen His Majesty from afar?"
"Of course, you've blown this experience at least fifty times, and to be honest, I envy you."
"Grass, don't say it, I didn't pay attention just now, and when that man walked up to me, I realized that he really looked like His Majesty the King, and there were twenty cavalrymen behind him......."
"Rustan, you mean ........"
"Shhh, this news is known to the two of us, don't talk nonsense, that adult's affairs must be done quickly, don't say more, I want to hurry back to Potsdam" After finishing the whispering, Rustan immediately ran backwards, and the piece of paper that William had given him earlier was merely in his arms.
After meeting the cavalry led by Sebastian, William moved from his horse to the carriage, and Buel followed William into the carriage.
"Buel, as the head of the royal family and the head of the royal spy, don't tell me that you don't know anything about Huiander's situation!"
William's gaze was straight at Buel, and under William's gaze, cold sweat flowed from Bouel's forehead.
"Your Majesty, we have naturally never relaxed our vigilance against the situation of the Locks family, but most of our energy is focused on Locks himself and his son, and there is really no comprehensive investigation into this Huiander."
"Bouel, you have disappointed me" "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty" "No, it's not you who sins, it's me who sins!"
Seeing that Bouel wanted to say something more, William shook his head to stop Bouel and then leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.
