s: After working hard all night, I finally typed out all the chapters for today, so that everyone can see them early, and another chapter is set to be released at twelve o'clock.
I wish everyone a happy New Year and welcome the new year happily.
Please also support Youyou who suffers from red eyes.
Early the next morning, the hired men came to work.
Rudolf went to open the small door to let them in, but after opening it, he ran back and said solemnly: "That kid is back."
There was a row of footprints on the wet mud at the gate.
Judging from the size, they should be Jeffrey's.
He seemed to have walked around the gate, but couldn't find a place to enter, and then left again.
Maybe it's someone else's footprints.
Some of the farmers here are barefoot and are short in stature due to malnutrition.
But there were signs of prying on the door.
This was not something ordinary daring villagers would dare to do.
This was the home of a lord who had the power of life and death.
After letting the people in one by one and instructing the doorkeeper to be more vigilant, the four people returned to the study.
"Obviously he can't survive the hard times outside."
Rudolph gave the most reasonable explanation: "As long as he comes back and kills any of us, this game will be over."
As long as you return to the resting floor, you can eat delicious food, drink spicy food, and have a magical life where people are waiting for you.
Jeffrey was anxious first, but what could they do?
Regel became angry: "Now this kid is wandering around outside, but he can't be found.
Just open the door and make sure that after he comes in and close the door, the range will be smaller."
"That's a way," Rudolf analyzed calmly: "But at that time he was invisible.
Even within the confines of this yard, how could we catch him?
All he had to do was squat in a stable or a tree.
We were literally following him with our eyes open.
He plays hide and seek."
"Isn't he hungry?"
Sneijder laughed deliberately, as if deliberately: "We will put all kinds of delicious food in the middle of the yard to see how long he will be hungry."
Rudolf almost rolled his eyes: "What kind of idea is this?
Will it make it impossible for us to eat or sleep?"
After thinking for a while, Cheng Qianxun said to everyone: "This kid is probably really hungry, so we might as well give him food."
Watching other people look at her like they were monsters.
Cheng Qianxun explained: "Everyone think carefully about what will happen if he eats something."
"Of course it will appear."
As soon as Sneijder said it, everyone understood.
Yes, as long as Jeffrey shows up, it will be easy to catch him.
"Since others can't catch him, it proves that he hid very well.
After stealing the food, he hid in the woods.
No one saw him after he revealed himself, otherwise he would have been caught long ago."
Cheng Qianxun carried it.
Raise your eyebrows and look around for advice.
Reger understood it very well and expressed his approval: "Collect taxes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
On Tuesday, April and Saturday, these people will have nothing to do.
Basically, today they will collect almost the same amount of money for three months, then let them start tomorrow Lay a trap and send people to catch the little wizard ourselves."
"We can't sit still and wait for death anyway."
Rudolph nodded and agreed.

After a while, a hired thug came up.
I came here to ask for instructions: "Lord, what should I do if there are unruly people who have not paid enough taxes today?"
Reger asked: "What did the previous lord do?"
The thug nodded respectfully and bowed: "If you pay less, you will be whipped five times."
Seeing that Regel was a little hesitant, Rudolf, as a knight, could only perform the mission.
Unable to keep others waiting, Cheng Qianxun took a deep breath and said coldly: "Follow the old rules."
"Yes, miss" the thug exited.
After Sneijder closed the door, he felt a little embarrassed: "Is this too much?
I saw their whips, thick and strong horse whips.
When they are whipped, the whip will turn red."
"Do you want people to doubt us?"
Cheng Qianxun became extremely angry when he thought of these things.
What kind of kindness is he saying to God.
Or tell Satan that only staying alive here is victory.
She stood up suddenly, walked to the window, and saw that the thugs with accessories were going out to collect taxes again.
She turned her head slightly and asked angrily: "These are the people who wanted to catch us and burn us all before.
When they put a noose around my neck, did they let me go?
No matter who was burned to death, this group of people Not only will they not show mercy, but they will also be as happy as watching fireworks, so they are asking for it."
There was silence behind him.
After a long time, Reger's voice came: "That's it.
Rudolph, come with me for a walk, and then discuss how to arrest Jeffrey tomorrow, and find a way to give these people, Otherwise, with their brains, it simply won’t work.”
The door opened, and Regel and Rudolf should have walked out.
Cheng Qianxun was still standing at the window.
She felt a chill, as if winter was approaching inadvertently.
There was a hint of coolness in the wind, and she couldn't help hugging herself with her hands.
At this time, a warm and broad embrace embraced her, that was Sneijder.
"I" Cheng Qianxun started and stopped, and finally said it.
At this time, her weakness and anxiety were exposed, and she could no longer hide it: "Actually, I don't want to either..."
It was not her intention to whip those who failed to pay their taxes and make them howl in agony.
But there is no way, only deterrence can prevent these ignorant people from moving at will.
As long as they think that they are easy to bully, then they may be forced into desperation.
Sneijder hugged her tightly, his voice was unusually gentle, and he comforted her softly: "I know, we all know..."
But this did not alleviate the guilt in her heart at all.
She actually ordered the collection of taxes according to the old rules so ruthlessly, and treated these poor people brutally and cruelly.
Even if they are all ignorant and dirty, their thinking is limited to this, and they are helpless against the environment.
Cheng Qianxun turned around, hugged Sneijder tightly, and rested her head on his thick chest.
At this time, the support and comfort from her teammates made her feel much better.
Yes, she was not alone, there were other teammates.
For everyone's sake, only by cutting off the source of danger can we survive.
By the afternoon, the taxes were back.
Two more boxes full of money.
In order to claim credit, these people talked about how they beat up those unruly people who said they had no money, beating them until they cried for their fathers and mothers, and promised to pay taxes.
Cheng Qianxun had a smile on his face and said a few words of greeting.
Returned to the study.
After a while, Reger came in carrying a money box alone, while Sneijder and Rudolf came in carrying a money box together.

Seeing Cheng Qianxun standing at the window again, Sneijder walked over, held her shoulders and whispered softly: "It is true that some people paid the tax immediately after being whipped a few times.
This is also the custom in the Middle Ages. ” Rudolf, who started counting money behind him, said leisurely: "You haven't seen how the men in the village treat women.
If a man hits his wife, you must not stop him.
Even the church advocates using fists to discipline yourself.
Woman.
If you stop, the man may beat you, and even the woman who is beaten will scold you for being nosy. " Cheng Qianxun burst into laughter, and his mood improved a lot: "I guess this is called hitting is kissing, scolding is loving."
Reger sat on the chair next to him, pretending to smile casually and said: "So we have to whip them a few times from time to time, otherwise they will think that the lord doesn't value them."
"That's a bit much."
Cheng Qianxun looked at Reger reproachfully and walked to the cash box.
At the beginning, we also helped count the money together.
It's evening.
Two more brides-to-be were sent, and Regel did the same thing as last time.
Not only did each bride-to-be's incubation fee leave two days' wages for the thugs, but he also gave back the food from the wedding gift to the other party.
Very happy too.
It can be said that everyone is happy Anyway, another day passed, and four people crowded into a room for the night.
Sometimes I can't sleep at night, but when I close my eyes, I feel like day has come so quickly.
Cheng Qianxun woke up, and the sun was almost reaching his buttocks.
She stretched and sat up.
I saw a chair not far ahead.
On the chair were a glass of milk, a boiled egg, and a boiled potato.
She didn’t know who saved it for her.
After Cheng Qianxun stood up, she walked to the chair, stood up and bent down to eat.
The warmth entered her body along with the food.
After changing clothes, she went to the study room.
After entering the study room, the other three teammates were there.
She asked casually: "It seems quite quiet.
If it were normal, these men would be fighting and sword fighting early in the morning.
It was very noisy."
Can't sleep."
"Today they went to catch the little wizard."
Regel replied: "They have to go out early to set traps, so that they can wait for the invisible little devil who wakes up and looks for food."
Oh, I almost forgot, Cheng Qianxun also found a chair and sat down.
Someone is cooking today, so I don't have to busy myself, but I'm free with nothing to do.
So the four of them played poker and slowly passed the time.
Not long after, there was a noise outside.
Everyone stood up and looked out the window.
The ten thugs with swords who had gone out were back.
"They must have come back for lunch."
Reger smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, they don't pay much attention to lunch.
They don't eat much and they just take it casually."
"Master, Master Lord," a leading thug shouted happily from below: "We, we almost caught him."
Now all four people went downstairs to hear what happened.
The solution I came up with this time was to simply find a relatively secluded villager's house.
The owner of the house had also reported that food was missing from his home.
Then the food is placed on the dining table, and then a net is hung from it.

One person pulls the net, and the others wander around other villagers as if searching.
Soon after, the man pulling the net saw the food on the table flying up out of thin air.
He quickly let go, but the rope got stuck at the critical moment.
All I could do was watch the food fly out of the house, and then lose sight of it after catching up.
"It's all this guy."
Everyone blamed the person who pulled the net and scolded him for being brainless.
He couldn't just go up and slash with his sword.
"Well, good," Regel praised and encouraged morale: "This proves that the groom's son is indeed a real wizard.
We will catch him the day after tomorrow.
If he is caught, the reward will be a gold coin."
Of course, everyone immediately declared, cursed and swore that they would definitely catch this invisible little wizard.
Cheng Qianxun looked at the others.
The expressions of Rudolph and Sneijder clearly showed disappointment.
Failure this time would make Jeffrey alert and make it harder to catch him in the future.
At this time, a thug stood up and said: "Lord, you are such a good man.
I have something to tell you, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy, and even my dead mother will not forgive me."
"Okay, tell me, what's going on?"
Reger said impatiently as he was also feeling depressed.
The thug said hesitantly: "I heard that the priest was planning to contact the red archbishop.
He was probably cursed by a wizard, and he actually suspected that the master was a fake
