In fact, Lin Feng is not short of such a little money now, but as the imperial martial arts banner, the dignified Duke of Snow Demon Wolf, if he falls in this background and is about to be defeated by the governor, his family will lose face, and the current emperor will also slander it on his face together!

However, he also understood Baron Vic's grievances, and did not get angry immediately. Instead, he looked at Baron Vic with a little ugly look and said gloomy: "I think... have you read it wrong?"

Hearing Lin Feng's tone was a little unkind, Baron Vic pondered for a moment, thinking about whether what he had done was a bit over.

As Lin Feng thought, after Baron Vic learned that the second prince had fallen, he knew that he might not have been in this position for long, but he did not expect that the current emperor would do something to him so quickly.

Seeing that the ten years of hard work were about to give it to someone, even though Baron Vic was mentally prepared, but when things came to an end, he couldn't help but feel a little unwilling!

Originally, he thought that the current emperor would only take some action on him after a while, so he wanted to use this time to try his best to plunder some to comfort himself with his unbalanced mentality. However, now that things have become like this, he can only seize the last two months to try his best to satisfy himself!

The first time he received the news that the Snow Demon Wolf Duke was about to take office, he secretly emptied almost all his inventory, and what should be exchanged for gold coins, and most of his two-month income also fell into his pocket.

In his opinion, even though Talvo has become the territory of the Snow Demon Wolf Duke, all the money and food in the past two months have been income during his reign. Why should I give this lucky kid?

Anyway, Baron Vic has no background. In the future, he may be sent to a place that is not painful and itchy for the rest of his life, and he no longer has to worry about his future. As long as Lin Feng, the person involved, cannot find fault this time, even the current emperor will have no excuses to do anything to him.

Moreover, although his income in the past two months is not much, he can also live the rest of his life with wealth.

Besides, the Snow Demon Wolf Duke won’t even leave a way out for himself, right?

Thinking of this, Governor Vic made up his mind, with a helpless expression on his face, and his tone affirmed: "Mr. Duke, this is not wrong. You don't know that these two months are the downturn in Talvo Province. Because the climate here is warm and humid, although the crops are growing richly, the delivery period is delayed than other places.

You also understand that the foundation of Tarvo province is agriculture. Since grain is not produced, there are not even caravans to buy grain. They rely solely on other commercial taxes and maintain Tarvo's operation, oh... and... it is already the end of the season, and there is another military expenditure some time ago, which has reduced the income in the past two months a lot."

Speaking of this, Governor Vic thought a little about it and spread his hands innocently: "According to normal circumstances, after you take over Talvo one month, you will usher in a bumper harvest of commercial tax and agricultural tax. I believe that at that time, a month's tax can be fully worth the sum of the taxes in these two months."

Listening to Governor Vic's remarks, Lin Feng's anger suddenly rose like a bunch of firewood. How could he not understand these principles? Governor Vic is obviously avoiding the important ones.

However, he held back and did not get angry immediately, but asked another question: "Then, Governor Vic, may I ask... except for these 280,000 gold coins, the inventory of materials is only worth 40,000 gold coins. How should I explain this matter?"

"Dude, in fact, except for food and grass, the equipment of the troops stationed in Tarvo has always been very simple. You also know that the army here has no more powerful enemies besides suppressing the gang of thieves. Therefore, the damage to the equipment of the army here is slow, which has caused not much military expenditure in this area, and naturally the inventory value is less."

Governor Vick continued to explain patiently: "As for food and grass, I also reported to you at the beginning. In order to set a vacant military camp for your family, I had already transferred all the garrison troops out. However, when they left the military camp, except for a few people who could follow me back to the imperial capital, most of the other soldiers were facing dismissal. In order to appease these people, there was no more military expenditure, and the stock of food and grass was distributed to them."

After hearing this passage, Lin Feng couldn't help but sneer in his heart. This Governor Vic is really an old fox! Not only does he speak without any leaks, but he also avoids the important things he talks about. Doesn't there be no other inventory of supplies in the entire Talvo besides food and equipment?

The reason why I suppressed my anger and asked these two sentences patiently was that I gave Governor Vic two opportunities. After all, he established the Talvo Province, and Lin Feng didn't want to be too embarrassed by him. However, he could not retreat from his political stance. Since Governor Vic gave up these two opportunities, Lin Feng would not be polite.

So, Lin Feng changed his lazy look, sat upright and leaned forward slightly, then narrowed his eyes with a gloomy face.

This action fell into the eyes of David and Philip on the side, which immediately shocked both of them!

After spending time together, both of them have already learned a lot about Lin Feng and clearly know that when Lin Feng narrows his eyes, it is time to get angry! Especially David, he still clearly remembers the scene outside Delan City, and the consequences of the Royal Guards are obvious to all!!

So, seeing Lin Feng's movement, David couldn't help feeling a chill rising from his spine.

"Governor Vick, in my impression, you have always been a serious and responsible genius official, but now I have to give you three words." Lin Feng clenched his fist and placed it between himself and Governor Vick.

Governor Vic frowned: "Please speak with me, Lord Duke."

"First, again and again, no more and more." Lin Feng stretched out a finger: "This is an old saying in my hometown, which means that things are only three, don't make three mistakes in the same mistake. The first time is nothing, the second time is a lucky one, and the third time, I'm afraid the God of Light can't stand it anymore."

Governor Vick's heart thumped, and a bad premonition arose from his heart.

"Secondly, people can overestimate themselves, but be kind." Lin Feng stretched out another finger: "Some things can be tried out at some times. Even if they are different from each other, they can at least be worthy of their conscience. But... it depends on what environment they are in. If you are in an environment where even the other party cannot retreat, you will be unkind..."

"Hmph!" Hearing this, Governor Vic snorted coldly, suddenly slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and said with anger on his face: "Duke, are you suspicious of my corruption in Vic?"

His action was naturally artificial. In fact, he felt guilty and had already started to stir up his heart. He deliberately pretended to be angry because he wanted to give himself courage, and the other was to use this to dispel Lin Feng's doubts.

Lin Feng could see clearly, but Philip had no idea. When he saw Governor Vic turn against him, he immediately stood up and rushed forward. Fortunately, Lin Feng stood up in time to stop Philip's movements.

"Suspect your corruption? No, of course not." Lin Feng suddenly smiled on his face, which made Governor Vick's face look a little better, but his next sentence did not leave any face to Governor Vick: "Do I still have to doubt? The facts are already in front of him."

"Lin Feng, you..." Governor Vic was furious and shouted Lin Feng's name directly.

Before Lin Feng could finish his words, he put away the smile on his face and suddenly interrupted: "What am I? Are I wrong? Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? Do you think I don't know if you want to make a final profit on me?"

Governor Vick's face changed drastically. Just as he was about to refute, Lin Feng interrupted again: "You said the inventory tax reduction is because of the sluggishness of the Tarvo Province. Do you think I have not investigated the data of the entire Tarvo Province before coming? Even with inflation three years ago, the lowest monthly tax revenue of the Tarvo Province was 250,000! You actually told me that there are only 280,000 in two months?"

Governor Vick's face immediately collapsed.

Lin Feng continued to sneer: "You said that the stock supplies are only worth 40,000 gold coins. It is because the army's equipment is consumed slowly, and the army is dispersed equally... Then I ask you, does the army in Tarvo Province have only a set of leather armor and a rusty long sword regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and no matter what terrain they encounter?! Don't tell me that Tarvo's army is not equipped with spears, shields, bows and arrows, heavy armor, light armor, etc. If you really don't have it, then you are violating the laws of the empire!!"

This sentence made Governor Vick no longer speak.

"And...even if there is only one type of army and only one set of leather armor, most of the soldiers have been dismissed now. Don't tell me that when they were dismissed, they even took this set of leather armor away!"

Lin Feng's voice was filled with mockery: "Do you really think I am a child who doesn't know anything? Do you think you can get away from me with your years of experience in office? Do you really think that your Majesty's vision is wrong now?!"

A series of questions made Governor Vick's heart completely sink. At first, he really thought Lin Feng was just a lucky child. Although Lin Feng's tough attitude along the way made him put away a lot of contempt, he didn't expect that this child's thinking was so cautious!

Especially Lin Feng's last sentence, even if he has a lot of refutation now, he can only hold it in his stomach forever and cannot say it out.

Looking at Governor Vic's ugly face, Lin Feng's tone became extremely cold, and he threw down the last bombshell: "Also, Governor Vic, as the governor of a province, you actually let foreign forces enter the Talvo province openly. Is it considered treason? Those are five hundred people! Don't tell me you don't know at all!"..
