Manda chose the second way, which was not a wild guess, but he saw the gold coin with a cock''s eye.

    This is the first time he has used his skills to judge things without material objects. Although meeting Viscount means more opportunities, it is also a top priority to make a living. He thought over the two choices in his mind until his brain began to ache violently, and then he saw a gold coin on the second road.

    This choice is more valuable. Manda agreed with Denison on the spot that ten cans of wine would be sent tomorrow and handed over by Denison to the Lord of Niujiao Town, viscount gassac.

    After leaving Denison''s residence, Manda had to go to the market to buy food. It was too difficult to buy 5000 pounds at a time. Manda bought 2000 pounds first, bought 20 wine barrels, and pulled them back to the tavern with two ox carts.

    The door of the tavern is closed, and worm seems to have forgotten to open, which is not normal. Although he doesn''t like entertaining guests, he always maintains a high enthusiasm for the business of the tavern.

    The Dangzhao pendant is a little hot. Is it in danger?

    Manda asked the coachman to unload the grain and wine barrels outside the door. She jumped over the wall into the yard and entered the lobby of the tavern through the back door.

    He was stunned by the scene in front of him. Two people were tied to the post. Worm sat aside and lost himself in thought.

    These two men are the two soldiers who collected taxes last month. They cheated Manda out of 25 silver coins. I didn''t expect these two swindlers to dare to come again!

    With scars on their faces, they were obviously beaten by worm, with sackcloth in their mouths, red eyes and runny nose, looking at Manda. There seemed to be a call for help in their eyes.

    And worm is thinking about a serious question right now. Do you want to kill them?

    As usual, worm would not hesitate to screw off their heads, but now he didn''t want to kill people. He was worried that it would affect the business of the tavern.

    "I searched their money bags. There were more than 70 silver coins and more than 100 copper coins in them. Let''s leave the money and let them go." after careful consideration, worm gave the above suggestion.

    Manda looked at the two unlucky men and turned to worm, "where did you find them?"

    "They also come here to collect taxes and want to cheat us again," worm said

    Manda burst out laughing: "you really think we are so easy to cheat..."

    Before the voice fell, the laughter stopped suddenly, and Manda found a serious problem.

    The two men came here to collect taxes under the guise of viscount''s family ministers. After they left, the real family ministers were bound to collect taxes again, and their scam was completely exposed.

    No normal person can come here to perform the same trick. This is a typical act of death, unless the two people are retarded.

    Manda stared at the two soldiers for a while. They may not be very smart, but they haven''t reached the point of incompetence. Maybe there is another reasonable explanation for this matter.

    They are real tax collectors, and the later group of talents are liars.

    Manda''s head was buzzing. He carefully recalled every detail before. They had neither instruments nor Viscount''s family emblem. Coupled with their rude attitude, they looked like counterfeiters.

    But this is illogical

    After thinking about it, Manda untied their ropes, opened the door of the tavern and returned the money bag to them.

    "Let''s go." Manda didn''t say more. One more word could cause more trouble.

    A soldier pointed to Manda''s nose and said, "you''re finished, waiting for the Viscount to take you..."

    Another soldier covered his mouth: "stop talking and get out of here!"

    Two soldiers rushed out of the tavern. Worm shook his head and said, "you just let them go? When did your heart become so good?"

    Manda licked her lips and said, "no, we may be in big trouble!"

    All night, Manda was in a panic and couldn''t sleep. The next morning, he was still struggling to go to the city.

    The Dangzhao pendant is as cold as frost. It seems that the danger has passed. Maybe those two people are natural fools. They don''t have a brain at all. They just want to take a chance.

    After thinking about the road pointed out by Denison and the five gold coins she paid, Manda gritted her teeth, hired an ox cart and sent ten barrels of wine to Denison''s residence.

    Along the way, Manda clutched the pendant tightly. Whenever there was any sign of fever, Manda would immediately jump out of the car and escape.

    But until the ox cart stopped in front of dunison''s door, the pendant was still cold.

    Donison took the wine and immediately gave Manda thirty silver coins: "come back to me in two days. If the Viscount agrees to this business, I will give you the remaining fifty silver coins. If the count doesn''t agree, these wines will be sold to me."

    When he left, he asked a question: "do you have to pay tax to open a tavern?"

    "What do you think?" Denison thought the question was stupid. "There''s no reason why you don''t pay taxes in business. Haven''t the tax collectors come to collect taxes?"

    "Not yet," Manda replied calmly.

    "Strange, I reported this to the tax collectors long ago. They should have gone last month... These days are their tax collection days. You should make up the tax of last month, 25 silver coins a month, otherwise we will all be in trouble."

    "What kind of person is a tax collector?" asked Manda calmly.

    "It''s the Viscount''s guards. They are all a little rough, but you''d better be polite to them."

    Manda swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to ask calmly, "will they carry documents and the Viscount''s family emblem?"

    "Documents and family emblem? Where did you hear that?" Denison looked at Manda in surprise?

    "I saw it in a book."

    "Still have such a book?" dunison shook his head and smiled. "Tax collectors don''t bring any documents. Most vendors don''t recognize words. What''s the use of carrying that thing? The family emblem is even more impossible. It symbolizes the majesty of the viscount. How can it be handed over to tax collectors?"

    "Yes," Manda nodded with a smile. "I''ll see you in two days."

    Don''t see me after two days. The Viscount will directly catch me in the dungeon because I beat the tax collector.

    Manda went to the market and bought nothing but a carriage.

    He faced a difficult choice, whether to run alone or with worm.

    He was afraid that worm would not escape, but he also remembered the old witch''s advice that you should never try to escape without the count''s permission unless you have a way to kill him.

    It was safest to escape back to the valley with worm. He returned to the tavern in a carriage and saw that the warehouse door was closed. Worm should make wine in it.

    "We''re in big trouble. Hurry up and pack up. We''ll leave here immediately!"

    Worm walked out of the warehouse, closed the door and said, "tell me what happened first, or I won''t leave the tavern."

    "If I told you, would you leave?"

    "Neither," worm shook his head.
