Mystery Makes Me Strong
Chapter 1405 Gold and taxpayers
While Bai Yunzi was anxious, he found that his cousin Bai Shengyu was even more anxious, frequently looking in the direction of the hall exit.
She soon understood that the other party was worried about that idiot Shui Jingyu who was taken away.
She didn't understand why the cousin would fall in love with each other, maybe there is more common language between fools?
Just as he was thinking, Bai Shengyu suddenly raised his hand and said, "I also want to know the whereabouts of the taxpayer."
"Well, you can see him right away too. Take him away, take him away!" the mayor said very unhappy.
9 people and only four people left.
One woman and three men.
"Okay, does anyone else want to know the whereabouts of that liar?" The mayor glanced at the remaining four people.
Everyone shook their heads.
"Then let's start with the second question. Five pirates were sailing in a small boat on the sea. Suddenly they found that they had no food and water. However, they survived until they landed. How many pirates survived?" The mayor scanned the crowd.
The four of them suddenly had headaches. This question was more difficult than the previous question about the number of sons.
There was only one pit before, which was a bit logical.
Mei Guangzhan just gave up and waited to be caught and sent to prison, at worst, he would die again.
"There are five, because the five pirates are all skeletons, and they don't need to drink water to eat." A male adventurer raised his hand.
"Take it away." The mayor waved to the guards.
There were only three people left, Bai Yunzi, the male adventurer who had landed, and Mei Guangzhan at the end.
I rely on.
That's a good answer, I can't even think of it.
Mei Guangzhan sighed.
Bai Yunzi was also in despair, she also thought this answer was good, didn't pirates just use skull flags?
At this time, she suddenly saw the second daughter of the mayor's family, gesturing three fingers to her.
The three pirates survived?
Why three?
The mayor will definitely ask, and he can't be fooled casually.
By the way, it takes three pirates to kill two pirates, eat their flesh, and drink their blood.
"I know, it's three, because..." Bai Yunzi expressed his guess.
"Take it away, take it away." The mayor asked the soldiers to escort her out without even looking at her.
"Why?"
Damn, I was tricked by that woman!
Bai Yunzi kept a close eye on the mayor's second daughter.
However, the second daughter of the mayor's family sighed and shook her head repeatedly, without a deceiving smile.
"Forget it, there are only two men left, are you willing to marry my remaining two daughters?" the mayor said helplessly to Mei Guangzhan.
Hearing this, Bai Yunzi, who was taken out of the door, suddenly realized that what the second daughter said was "there are only three of you left", and she didn't need to answer again!
Because the mayor has no one to choose.
"I am willing." Mei Guangzhan thought about the good thing of going ashore for free, and hurriedly agreed.
"Very well, you will hold your wedding in the church tonight, don't waste the time." The mayor said happily.
Time wasted, what time was wasted?
Mei Guangzhan felt a little bad.
…………
Somewhere in an underground prison.
It stinks.
Small and damp.
Ouyang Tian and other seven people were all imprisoned here.
"Hey, don't you give us something normal to eat?" asked one of the adventurers.
The guards ignored him and just played cards and chatted outside.
"Don't ask, I think our situation is very bad." Shui Jingyu sighed.
"It's up to you to say, it's all in the cell, how wonderful is it?" Another adventurer said angrily.
"Hey, buddy, didn't you answer correctly? Why did you deliberately find trouble and be sent here?" Someone asked Ouyang Tian.
Everyone looked at Ouyang Tian one after another.
Ouyang Tian smiled, then pointed to a man in the far corner of the prison, who was in human shape and covered in straw, and said:
"He's the taxpayer."
"Ah?" Everyone was shocked when they discovered the existence of the other party.
"Strange, why didn't I notice that there was someone here just now?" Shui Jingyu hurried forward and took the initiative to save people.
After tossing for a while, he fed the other party some fresh boy's urine, and the man finally woke up.
Everyone looked very cold.
People are really kind-hearted people, but this method of saving people always feels that something is not right.
Only Bai Shengyu looks at him with admiration, this is his own hero, he doesn't care about his face, he just saves people.
"Thank you, they don't even give me a sip of clean water." The taxpayer woke up and saw the people in front of him talking in pure French.
Everyone can understand because they are automatically translated into Chinese.
What you are drinking now is not clean water either.
Wait, it seems to be clean.
"How did you get locked up here?" Shui Jingyu asked immediately.
"Hurry up, hurry up, the people here are all devils, they are all devils!" the taxpayer panicked.
Everyone was not surprised by this. This is nonsense. They knew that this town was not normal before they came.
How can you serve food that looks good on the outside but rotten on the inside?
"I'll talk about the devil later, we can't get out if we want to," Ouyang Tian interrupted him, "The king asked us to come to you, where did you put the tax money you collected?"
When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help giving Ouyang Tian a thumbs up. It's this time, and they still don't forget that gold is enough to replace their identities.
"Haha," the taxpayer forcefully laughed, "This is something only a king can say. You are not liars. There are indeed a lot of taxes, so much that they pile up into a hill, but it is under the devil's ass. Walk it, and the devil will wake up."
Everyone sensitively grasped a key word, the devil.
There's a devil in this town, no wonder it stinks so much.
"Devil, have you seen it?" Ouyang Tian asked.
"Of course I have. When I came last time, they treated me very warmly, and said that they had kept the tax money for the king for so many years, and then took me to see it."
The taxpayer had a smile of reminiscence on his face,
"I saw it, I saw it, a small mountain of gold, shining golden, with the smell of wealth flowing. But then I saw a huge devil sitting on top of the golden mountain!"
The taxpayer stretched out his hand and gestured.
It was not easy for everyone to build up the image of a big devil in their minds from the process of his gestures:
It has huge arms, strong legs, a ferocious head, and many tentacles all over its body. It spits out flames, and its eyes are shining with fire.
Sure enough, it was terrible.
This is definitely a god-level creature in the game, the kind that would go crazy just by looking at it.
And at this time, they couldn't even beat a single guard.
The stench seemed to be everywhere, paralyzing their muscles and sources of strength.
"I was so frightened that I grabbed a handful of gold and ran away. At the beginning, I almost fled the town. It was just because the gold was too heavy that I fell to the ground and was caught by them. The gold was gone." The taxpayer said painfully.
Listening to his distressed tone, it seems that he is suffering from the loss of gold, not himself.
What an idiot whose reason is controlled by money.
Everyone was disdainful.
Only Ouyang Tian smiled. It seemed that the taxpayer's words were crude, but he found a lot of useful information.
He gradually understood.
The next step is to let the cousin come.
Just like last time.
Everyone is silent.
They racked their brains to think of a way out.
Some people pretended to be sick and shouted, but the guards didn't care.
Some people thought about escaping from prison, but the dungeon was built with stones and iron bars. The key is that there are guards watching, so many methods are useless.
"Damn it, if only the power I exchanged last time is still there." An adventurer couldn't help but say.
"As long as I still have the strength of a normal person, I will have a way to escape." Another person said angrily.
"Just wait." Only Ouyang Tian rested against the wall to rest.
Everyone looked at him, and someone couldn't help asking: "Brother, we are all in the same boat, you seem to have a solution?"
"You will know when the time comes." Ouyang Tian was filled with a sense of superiority.
This is the benefit of being backed by a big tree.
Just like the emperor's private interview on Weibo, after the accident, the boss immediately knelt down as soon as his identity was revealed, and the climax was staged.
Everyone was itchy, but they didn't ask any more questions.
They guessed that Ouyang Tian was probably afraid that someone would eavesdrop, and it couldn't be easier to set up an eavesdropping mechanism in the prison.
Night falls.
The dark twilight can be glimpsed from the entrance and exit of the narrow dungeon stairs.
At the same time, a string of festive music came from the exit.
"It's wedding music!"
"Look, the guards are gone."
"They must be going to keep order at the wedding! This is our chance to escape."
"Take me, and find the gold."
