Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 77 Inexplicable Detention

"I'm so sorry!" Sharaki apologized sheepishly, rubbing his head in front of Stannis.

Stannis had black lines all over his face, and ink was flowing down his cheeks. He only remembered that the commander was looking for materials about his own tax problems, and then the whole bottle of ink flew towards him, and his whole face was covered It was drenched black.

Sometimes, he really felt that the other party did it on purpose, otherwise the imperial army would introduce an IQ access mechanism, so that such a woman could serve as a soldier, and even a commander! ! ?

Sharaki picked up a towel and wanted to wipe it off for him, but Stannis refused decisively, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

It took a while for the woman to find the record paper recording Stannis' illegal activities, and she quickly read it.

"Sir Justin, can you explain your refusal to pay taxes last month?" Sharaki cleared his throat, trying to sound serious.

But her image in his heart can no longer be regained, Stannis replied with a bit of a joke: "Didn't I already figure it out in front of the tax collector Lauk last time, according to the law promulgated by the empire, Not only do I not have to pay the 400 gold coins, I even have to return the amount of money you had before."

"Um..." Sharaki was obviously confused by him, and she had never encountered a tax refund situation.

"So, it's groundless and unjustifiable for you to arrest me here." Stannis crossed his legs with a look of enjoyment.

Sharaki didn't speak any more, she nodded, "I understand, since that's the case, I'll hand you over to Lieutenant Vladi, he's very interested in all kinds of knowledge."

Then she stood up and wanted to go out and call her men in.

"No!" Stannis was shocked. He was locked in the small dark room just now, and the wailing from the old man next door was still vivid in his memory. He didn't want to be locked up to death.

He hugged the woman passing by him and begged, pretending to be pitiful, "Is there anything we can discuss?"

"Let go!" With such a tug, the blanket Shalaqi put on himself would fall off.

"Then you have to promise not to imprison me in that small dark room for a lifetime." Stannis still refused to let go, and he began to negotiate conditions with the other party.

But Shalaqi didn't understand what he was talking about, thinking that he was threatening his own fault, "I told you, it was a mistake to lock you in a small dark room, the strictest punishment for nobles like you The punishment is to pay all taxes and then pay an additional [-]% fine.”

"Nani?" Stannis suddenly let go of his hand in surprise, causing Shalaqi, who was still tugging on the blanket, to almost fall down.

"Hey, so I won't be locked up in a small dark room forever because I can't pay the tax that doubles every month?"

"What are you talking about? Who would be imprisoned for so long because of paying taxes." The commander looked at him strangely, completely unable to understand what he was talking about.

Stannis scratched his head, he was also completely confused, "But when I was locked in just now, I heard an old man next to him claiming that he was a lord, and he was arrested 30 years ago because he couldn't pay taxes Now."

Shalaqi's expression turned into a confused state again, "But besides you, there are no other lords locked there?"

Suddenly she suddenly realized, "Oh, I remembered, the one locked up next to you is a mad mage, and he was tied up and sent here by the harassed peasants nearby because he often made alarmist remarks. You are not crazy because you listened to his crazy words." speak?"

Uh, Stannis didn't expect that passers-by in this world have a hobby of playing tricks, and he was about to be scared out of a heart attack just now.

"Then...then don't hand me over to that bitter-faced lieutenant. I will accept whatever punishment you want." Stannis said honestly.

Shalaqi smiled, "Your description of me as a subordinate is quite apt, how about this, you only need to pay the [-] gold coins this time, and the fine will not be charged, and remember to pay the money on time in the future. Tax."

After spending a long time, it turned out that he still had to pay, but Stannis was completely unwilling, so he decided to use his personal charm to activate [Charm Skill].

Immediately, he concocted what he thought was the most attractive smile towards the woman, "Xia, can I call you that? In fact, I can see that you are a woman with elegant aspirations, just like your appearance. It's spotless, so I thought, talking about money, huh~~ I really feel dirty talking about it."

Unexpectedly, when it comes to things like money, Sharaki seemed extremely sober, "I'm sorry, Sir Justin, if you think that you can reduce or exempt taxes by complimenting me, you are very wrong. I am responsible for things that harm the interests of the empire." Never……"

Just as she was speaking impassionedly, there were a few knocks on the door.

Shalaqi hurriedly wrapped the blanket tighter, sat down and asked, "Excuse me, who is it?"

Lieutenant Flady's voice came from outside the door, "Major Sharaki, Sean Bean Bernard's messenger, he brought a letter from His Excellency Special Envoy for Sir Justin's affairs."

Hey, it's the 'uncle' Xiao Enbin who didn't tell his bones. How did he know that he was captured by the imperial army?He must have been notified by Bachelor Romon and Knight Commander Korodov in the territory. It seems that those guys didn't just watch him die. Thinking of this, the lord's heart is still a little warm.

"It's a letter from His Excellency Bernard?" Sharaki winked at Stannis in front of him, gesturing him to get the letter. It seemed that she also knew how disrespectful it would be to show up in front of her subordinates without even clothes on. .

Stannis had no choice but to do as she told him, because he was never immune to beautiful women. He half opened the door and found Lieutenant Vlady's still angry face, which seemed to be the same for everyone, Stan Niss took the letter with a nod and bowed his head, then returned and handed it to Sharaki.

The woman scratched open the envelope with her fingernails, took out the letter paper inside, and then blinked her beautiful eyes and quickly glanced up and down.

Stannis' heart was beating wildly for no reason, because he suddenly thought that if Sean Bean heard that he was arrested by the imperial army, he was afraid that he would report to the empire about his conspiracy about the duke, would he preemptively write a letter to denounce himself!
After going through so many things, he was already unafraid to speculate on the Westlanders with the greatest malice, otherwise he would not know why he died when he went to the guillotine.

It seemed that the contents of the letter were very convincing, and Sharaki kept nodding his head.

At last, she raised her head, with a gleam of wisdom in her eyes.

"I know what to do."
