wear it lord god

Chapter 985 The Fallen Blood Race 20
Some ordinary people on the side are carrying baskets and holding various things, queuing up to pay.

There are various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. If you want to enter a city, you may have to pay city tax and poll tax. You need to pay taxes for doing business. You need to pay taxes if you go to a wedding.It is neither a funeral nor a wedding, but relatives and friends visit for dinner, and still have to pay taxes.There is a tax called association tax and door-to-door tax.

Only unthinkable taxes, no missing taxes.

All the money, part of it flowed into the pocket of the lord, and part of it went to the king's treasury. During this period, it was exploited layer by layer, and the people suffered terribly.Otherwise, the residents of the ancient town in Transylvania, knowing that there are vampires, still refuse to leave.If you stay, at least sometimes you can still have a piece of meat to eat; if you leave and go to other places, you may only have blackened wheat, wormy oats, or even wild vegetables in the field for two meals a day.

Of course, there are people who do not have to pay taxes, and that is the nobles!

At this time, Xi Ning should not look like a nobleman at all. He was riding on a delivery horse, and the mud on his skirt was half an inch thick. It had already dried and fell down from time to time.

Xi Ning puffed out her chest, raised her neck, and put on a haughty look...

This is necessary. There used to be a nobleman who was really robbed by robbers. He was stripped of his clothes. He picked up a piece of rags on the road and wrapped himself in a piece of cloth, and arrived at the gate of the city.As a result, the knights guarding the city refused to let him in, either paying taxes or proving that he was a nobleman.

In the end, he kicked over a dying old man who was begging next to him: "This is the proof!"

The kick was cruel and poisonous, and the old man was extremely pitiful.

After the knight looked at it, he actually believed it.This is the nobility!

Xining felt like a big white goose with its head held high, bluffing: "I'm the lady of Baron Williams's family. I ran into a robber on the road and came to the city to report the crime."

The knight who stopped the horse was only 1.5 meters tall, with scars on his face and a mouthful of rotten teeth.

It's so ugly!But at that time, everyone was malnourished, and the armor handed down at that time can be seen, many modern people can't fit in it at all, it is too small.

In comparison, Dracula is really dignified, and this self-proclaimed noble lady is also well-raised, white and tender, not as skinny as civilians and serfs.

The knight still questioned, after all, it is not the nobles who have to pay taxes, and taxes are money: "Where did you get robbed?"

Xining reported the location: "At the exit of the Transi Valley, if you send someone to look, there should be a few robber corpses there."

Hearing the location, the knight became even more skeptical: "Then why don't you report to the nearest place, come here to report?"

Xining put on an angry look.Xian Xian said imposingly: "Nonsense, if you don't get lost, of course you won't come here. Go away, or I will sue you if I see the officer here!"

Well, the temper is also like an aristocrat.Just as the knight let go, the one behind asked: "Then who is behind you? It's not the nobles who need to pay taxes."

Can't say Count Dracula, it will definitely explode, Dracula's name is not much worse than Versace.

Xining held his head up: "Of course it's my cousin, the Estonian Viscount." Let's talk nonsense first. Anyway, there are so many dukes, marquises, uncles, sons, men, viscounts and barons. Every territory has one. Thousands, those who don't even know the words, who can remember so many.

Looking at the appearance, they were indeed different from ordinary people, so the knight let them go, and told them where to report the crime if they wanted to.

When passing through the city gate, I saw two people, one was in chains, and his neck and hands were fixed on wooden chains.If you put on shackles, it is generally not a serious crime, but it is a warning to the public.

The other one was even more miserable. It was locked in a human-shaped iron cage and hung in mid-air without moving.He should be dead, his face turned gray, he should have been dead for a day or two.The crows stretched their beaks into the iron cage and took two bites.

After Xining glanced at it, she turned her head and stopped looking.Neither pity nor anger can change the world.Then start by saving her own life first, and she also wants to save Dracula's life.Anyway, she felt that Dracula, a veteran vampire, was better than Anna the vase, and Versace, who seemed righteous but was actually scheming.

The town was larger than the ancient town of Transylvania, but not by much.The city where the palace is located now only has a population of [-] to [-].The Black Death, which occurred more than ten years ago, took away almost half of the population, causing the entire land plate to become more deserted, and the Stone Age was stronger than it is now.

Walking on the stinking street full of feces and urine, on both sides are dilapidated houses that are barely piled up with stones, and there are people wearing ragged clothes, skinny, and walking corpses everywhere.

This place is probably only a little better than the legendary hell. According to the current statement of the church, people are born sinful and come to suffer, so suffering these sufferings is what they deserve, and it is to hone their will.If you are obedient and give more money to the church, you can go to heaven after death.If you live disobediently and continue to do evil, you will go to hell.

This is just a rehearsal practice before going to hell, but if you really go to hell, you will get used to it.

It was really stinky. Xining covered her nose with her hands, but the stench continued to penetrate into her nose.

There are rich people and nobles passing by. They all hold handkerchiefs or flowers in their hands and block their noses.

The handkerchief is still understandable, are these flowers useful?The scent of flowers and the smell of excrement and urine are mixed together, isn't it smelly and stinky?

Yexiang here can't be used as fertilizer. If you use this thing to water the ground, people will get sick if they eat what grows in the ground, and what they eat is... vomit!This world is like this, ignorant and ignorant, maybe a monk can read in a town.Moreover, some monks can't read all the words, holding a Latin scripture, talking about running trains, talking about the teachings in a crazy way, and blowing up as much as they want to bluff people.

It's better at home.The ancient town does not smell bad because it is surrounded by forests. Williams Manor dug a hole, filled it when it was full, and then dug a hole in another place.

Dracula's speed was considered fast, and he took her directly to the rich man's house that looked nice.

When the servant at the door asked who it was, Dracula just took a look, and he stood there dumbfounded, motionless.Dracula carried this person, just like carrying a chicken, and led her straight into the inner room.

It looked like the old man dressed up by the master was chasing after the cook to flirt. The ruddy and plump cook who was eating was running away and hiding while laughing.

Uh, this old man has gray hair and beard, and he's chasing and laughing at the cook who looks like she's only in her 20s.It's really old and strong!

The old man looked at the janitor who was being carried in a daze, and turned to look at them in surprise: "Who are you?"
