Chapter 445 Tax evasion and tax evasion
Olivia stood on the shore and saw the signal flare that Nancy let off.

This signal means that Nancy has something she can't solve, and needs to discuss it with Olivia.

"Protect yourselves, and pay attention to the approach of suspicious people," Olivia explained to the others, "take the signal flares and contact us at any time."

Then she pulled out her magic wand, tapped it lightly on the water surface, and stepped onto the water surface leisurely.

Circle after circle of ripples appeared on the soles of her feet, and as she stepped out step by step, the ripples continued to spread.

After all, she graduated from the advanced water magic class of the college, but she rarely has the opportunity to use such sophisticated and large-scale magic.

Fortunately, it is not unfamiliar.

In this way she came to the bottom of the castle.

Nancy sent her personal guards, who were already waiting for her.

"What happened to Miss Nancy?" Olivia asked behind the guard.

The personal guard did not say: "You will know when you have seen Miss."

Olivia suppressed her doubts and didn't ask any more questions.

Nancy was right in front of the warehouse. She found a chair out of nowhere and sat there carelessly with her legs crossed.

Seeing Olivia approaching, she hurriedly put her legs down and stood up neatly.

Olivia pretended not to see her behavior that was incompatible with noble etiquette, and she was very tolerant to the girl who was her "sister": "What's the matter, what happened?"

"It's not a big deal," said Nancy, and she repeated the slaves' scruples.

Olivia listened quietly, then nodded: "It's not a big deal, just leave it to me."

Then she asked Nancy's personal guards to show her the way, and she went to talk to the slaves.

After waiting for a while, Olivia came back with a relaxed expression: "Okay, it's resolved."

There are many slaves behind her, their expressions are expectant, vigilant and shrinking.

But Olivia's expression was indifferent, as if she had done something very easy.

The slaves quickly started working. They took out the trolleys from the warehouse, loaded the grain onto the trolleys, and then two of them worked together to pull the grains onto the boat with the trolleys and stack them neatly.

And Nancy and Olivia went to the deck early to talk.

"This trip went smoother than we expected," Nancy said, "Earl Hansmore didn't send anyone."

Logically speaking, Earl Hansmore could have used the praying mantis to catch cicadas with one hand, and the oriole was behind. When they attacked the isolated island, they outflanked their rear, but Earl Hansmore did not do this. In his own mansion, he dared not show his head.

Olivia arranged for someone to watch the movement of Earl Hansmore's house all the time, and she would receive news if there was any trouble.

And now, nothing.

Olivia said indifferently: "I think it's because Earl Hansmore is a smart man."

Fred, he can't afford to offend, and other nobles, he can't afford to offend, so what else can he do.

Earl Hansmore could only hope that Olivia and Nancy retreated during the attack, so that he would neither offend other nobles nor Fred.

It's a pity that these people can't stop Nancy, but Earl Hansmore can only knock down teeth and swallow blood. What can he do to Nancy.

Nancy snorted coldly: "It's both right and left."

"This is his best course of action," Olivia commented objectively, "endure the calm for a while."

After avoiding the limelight, Earl Hansmore is still popular and hot in the territory. Even if it is embarrassing to be robbed by Nancy, his family is not the only one who loses face. There are many people who lose face together, so the psychological burden is naturally not so heavy. up.

Nancy naturally looked down on Earl Hansmore's approach, but everyone has their own way of survival, and she didn't bother to comment.

When all the food they needed was loaded on the boat and all the people to be taken away, the boat started. Compared with the small boat they used when they came, this medium-sized cargo ship was obviously faster, and it reached the shore in the blink of an eye.

"Put the food in our own car," Olivia arranged, "this time we brought a lot of people from Hansmo's house, which can save a lot of our manpower. These people are Hansmo I will write a handwritten letter so that these people can become civilians in Cliff City."

Civilians and slaves are treated completely differently. Slaves are not allowed to have their own private property, but commoners can. That is to say, civilians can still live a good life with their own efforts, while slaves are just looking at the lord's charity. .

The slaves brought out from Hansmore's house were very excited, and some even secretly wiped their tears.

There are other aftermath tasks, such as burning all the trebuchets. Although Nancy was a little reluctant, she set a fire obediently and watched the trebuchets burnt down.

Once things are arranged, all that remains is to arrange people.

Blake was also arranged by Olivia to return to Cliff City. Although he was not very willing, he was still sent back by Olivia forcefully.

Nancy was brought up by Sainz, but she can sympathize with Blake, and she can't help but help him: "Actually, there is no danger in the future, and it is not impossible to ask uncle to stay and help."

"That's not necessary," Olivia smiled and shook her head, "I don't need his worries anymore."

Nancy felt that these words seemed to have some deep meaning, but she had never been able to figure out these things, so she frowned and thought about it, then dropped it again.

Olivia, indeed, made a pun.

Black has been obsessed with research since she was a child, and she spends more time with Viscount Cliff. Although Black will also make her happy with the gadgets he made, it is more like making fun of her.

She has not received much care from her father since she was a child, and now, she doesn't need it anymore.

After finishing the food looted from Hansmo's house, they rested for a while and then went to the next house without stopping.

"Viscount Jones Brown," Olivia read the name of the next family, "I know there is a way to achieve the goal without using weapons."

Nancy couldn't help but feel a little discouraged when she heard this. She just had a fight, and she hasn't had enough. Why doesn't she need to fight?
But she was also curious about the method Olivia said: "What method?"

Olivia said slowly: "Viscount Jones Brown, tax evasion."

"Oh?" Nancy suddenly became excited after watching the excitement, "Are you sure?"

Olivia glanced back at Richard and nodded with certainty: "I'm sure."

The reason why she was so sure was that Richard had a regular partner in the territory of Viscount Jones Brown.

How big is Viscount Jones Brown's territory, how many fields, and how many people are working? Richard can get a general idea by estimating it. This is because businessmen are sensitive to money, but the tax paid by Jones Brown is the same as Richard estimated. Far from it.
