Some ordinary people on the side are carrying baskets and holding various things, queuing up to pay money.

If you want to enter a city, you may have to pay the city tax, the poll tax, the tax to do business, the wedding to pay the celebration tax, or the funeral tax. It is neither a funeral nor a wedding, but just relatives and friends visiting the house for dinner, and they still have to pay taxes. There is a tax called the communication tax and the door-to-door tax.

There are only unthinkable taxes, and there are no missing taxes.

All the money, part of it went into the lord's pocket, and part of it went to the king's treasury, during which it was exploited layer by layer, and the people were miserable. Otherwise, the residents of the ancient town of Transylvania, knowing that there are vampires, still refuse to leave. Stay, at least sometimes there is still a piece of meat to eat; If you leave and go to other places, you may have to eat blackened wheat, wormed oats, or even wild vegetables in the field for two meals a day.

Of course, there is someone who does not have to pay taxes, and that is the aristocracy!

At this time, Xining must not have looked like a nobleman at all, riding on a horse carrying goods, and the mud on her skirt was half an inch thick, which had been dried and fell down from time to time.

Xining puffed up her chest and raised her neck, putting on a haughty look......

This is a must, once there was a nobleman, who was really robbed by robbers, and was robbed so that he was stripped of his clothes, and he picked up a rag on the road and wrapped himself to the gate of the city. As a result, the knights guarding the city did not let him in, either to pay taxes or to prove that he was a nobleman.

As a result, he kicked over a begging old man next to him: "This is the proof!" ”

The kick was ruthless and vicious, and the old man was pitiful.

After looking at it, the knight actually believed it. This is the aristocracy!

Xining felt like a big white goose with her head held high, and bluffed: "I am the young lady of Baron Williams's family, and I met 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 a scar on his face and a mouthful of rotten teeth.

It's ugly! But at that time, they were all malnourished, and the armor that was handed down at that time can be seen that many modern people can't fit it at all, it's 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 commoners and serfs.

The knight still cross-examined, after all, it is not the nobles who have to pay taxes, taxes are money: "Where was it robbed?" ”

Hienin reported the place: "At the fast exit of the Valle de Trancilia, if someone is sent to see it, there should still be several robber corpses there." ”

Hearing the place, the knight became even more suspicious: "Then why don't you report the crime at the nearest place and come here to report the crime?" ”

Xining feigned annoyance. The first momentum is overwhelming: "Nonsense, if you don't get lost, of course you won't come here." Get out of here, or I'll sue you when I see the chief here!" ”

Well, the temper is also like that of the aristocracy. As soon as the knight let go, the next one asked, "And who is behind you?" It was not the nobility that needed to pay taxes. ”

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

Shinin held his head high: "Of course it's my cousin, Viscount of Estonia." "Let's talk about one nonsense first, anyway, there are so many dukes, marquis, uncles, sons, men, viscounts and barons, there are them in every territory, if not five hundred, there are also a thousand, those who don't even know the words, who can remember so much.

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

When he passed through the city gate, he saw two men, one of whom was shackled, and his neck and hands were fastened to wooden shackles. If you are in chains, it is generally not a major sin, but a warning to the public.

The other one is more miserable, it is locked in a humanoid iron cage, hanging in the air without moving. He must have been dead, his face turned dead gray, and he should have been dead for a day or two. The crows put their beaks into the iron cage and pecked at them twice.

After taking one look, Xining turned her head and stopped looking. Neither pity nor anger can change the world. Then sit up to save her own life first, and she still wants to save Dracula's life. Anyway, she felt that Dracula, an old vampire, was better than Anna Vase and Versace, who seemed to be righteous but was actually scheming.

This town is bigger than the old town of Transylvania, but it's not much bigger either. The city where the palace is located today has a population of only 10,000 or 20,000. The Black Death, which occurred more than a decade ago, took almost half of the population with it, causing the entire land plate to become more and more deserted, and it was stronger than it is today in the Stone Age.

Walking on the stinky streets of feces and urine, there are dilapidated houses barely piled up with stones on both sides, and people in ragged clothes, skin and bones, like walking corpses.

It's about a little better than the legendary hell, and according to the current Church theory, people are born sinful, they are meant to suffer, so they deserve to suffer these things, to temper their will. If you are obedient and give more money to the church, then you can go to heaven after you die. If you live disobediently and continue to do evil, you will go to hell.

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

It really stinks, Xining covered her nose with her hands, but the smell drilled into her nose.

Rich and noble people passed by, and they all held handkerchiefs or flowers in their hands to block their noses.

The handkerchief is still understandable, is this flower useful? The fragrance of flowers and the smell of feces and urine are mixed together, is it smelly and smelly?

The night incense here can't be used as fertilizer, what kind of thing to water the ground, people will not get sick if they eat what grows in the ground, and they will eat ...... Vomit! This is the way this world is, ignorant and ignorant, and a town may mean that a monk can read and write. Moreover, some monks could not read all the words, and they held a Latin scripture book and ran a train in their mouths, and they talked about their teachings in a fanciful manner, and blew them as much as they coaxed people.

It's better to be at home. The old town doesn't stink because it's surrounded by forests, and Williams Manor dug a hole, filled it when it was full, and dug another hole in another place.

Dracula was also fast, and took her directly to the house of a rich man who looked like a good house.

When the servant at the door asked who it was, Dracula only glanced at it, and he stood there motionless. Dracula carried this person like a chicken, and led her all the way to the inner room.

It seems that the old man dressed as the master is chasing the cook to flirt and scold, and the cook with a ruddy face and a plump body is running and hiding while laughing.

Well, the old man's hair and beard were gray, and he was laughing at the cook who looked to be in her twenties. It's really getting stronger!

The old man looked at the gatekeeper who was being carried in a daze, and then looked at them in surprise: "Who are you?" ”
