The footsteps paused at the doorway before entering the house.
Ziwan poked his head inside and immediately pulled it back in.
It was obvious that he and the team that escorted the three managers were guarding the entrance.
The person who came in this time must be the tax officer.
Li Moss looked the middle-aged man, who was about the same age as Calbin, up and down.
The tax collector was dressed similarly to Calbin, with brown hair and a long robe covered by a sleeveless outer garment, except that his robe was a dark blue and he had nothing hanging from his waist.
In addition, he wore a pair of soft leather gloves.
He paused for a moment when he saw Li Mosi and the other three, then turned around and bowed.
"Sir, I am Tritan, the tax collector here. I can answer any question."
It's fairly standard.

Ok?
Li Mosi became wary.
"Tritan, sit down."
Zi Yi remained unmoved.
"Yes, sir."
Tritan glanced at the chairs, then at the butler on the floor, and finally pulled out another chair next to Eison.
Li Mosi looked at the butler.

Using the large chair in the main seat as cover, he took an arrow from the quiver behind Zi'an and placed it in her free hand.
Zi'an accepted it expressionlessly.
Zi Yi also spoke after a brief silence.
"You should understand what has happened. Baron Stern is dead, and his lands and everything he owns are mine."
"The Stern family is both greedy and incompetent. The people I see are like a flock of sheep that have been sheared but have no grass to eat. They look like they are about to starve to death."
Zian, the Saintess, and Li Mosi all felt that these words sounded familiar.
Isn't this exactly what my master (the craftsman) (I) said to the people of the Three Knights Territory?
Zi Yi's voice did not stop.
"The soldiers have also endured unimaginable suffering, and now they don't even have the will to pick up a weapon and fight."
His words were like a bolt of lightning, completely stunning the three managers.
Eisen strongly agreed, stating that the Stern family's exploitation of the territory had clearly exceeded its limits.
But these words actually came from the mouth of a goblin!
Are nobles less merciful than a goblin?!
It seems we really can't compete.
Calbin continued to stare at the table.
He agreed with this, as that old Baron Stern would often order him to turn offending subjects into slaves, without ever looking at the specific crimes, and always made him collect excessive taxes.
He's managed to offend everyone!
He came here with the caravan hoping to live a peaceful life on the border where he could have water to drink, but now he lives in constant fear.
During the recent slave rebellion, he would have been killed if he hadn't run away quickly!
The two apprentices who couldn't outrun him have already been killed!
Tritan stared at the table, his mind racing.
He never personally did anything that offended anyone; those tasks were either done by his apprentices or assigned to Calbin by Baron Stern.
But his wife is the illegitimate daughter of the previous Baron Stern!
All three of his children carried the blood of the Baron Stern family!
What can he do at this moment?
What can it do?
All we can do is pray.
The three of them were having very complicated inner monologues and didn't notice that Zi Yi had temporarily organized his thoughts before continuing his speech.
"I demand your obedience, and from now on, govern the territory according to my will..."
"Don't even think about it!"
A near-screaming male voice from the floor interrupted Zi Yi's words.
The housekeeper woke up.
"Goblins want to rule humanity?! Dream on!"
He looked at the three managers sitting at one end of the long table.
"Carbin! Tritan! Have you forgotten the favors you received from the Baron? Quickly kill these heretical bastards! Aison, where is your divine magic?!"
The butler struggled to get up.
He was anxious because he couldn't break free from the vines binding him.
The fact that Aison, Calbin, and Tritan made no move chilled his heart.
The saintess crossed her arms, a smirk playing on her lips.
Baron Stern has done those kinds of things, and this guy still thinks he can influence the priests with his words?
Although the priest "Aison" did not make any move, his face showed obvious disgust.
This wasn't directed at Li Mosi and the other three, but at the butler.
Since there are people with bloodlines even more noble than the Stern family present, why would he help the Stern family again?
It should be noted that the church was established much earlier than the Stern Barondom; the nobles were the ones who came later!
collapse--
Calbin didn't think much of it when he saw the butler twisting to get up.
But when the butler started snapping the vines binding him, he immediately stood up like a startled cat.
He glanced at Li Mosi and the other three, noticing their calm expressions.
What should I do?
Calbin froze on the spot.
Tritan was the one who truly did nothing.
But his forehead was already covered in sweat.
"I am not a member of the Stern family."
My wife has changed her surname.
"Yes! I'm not a member of the Stern family!"
Snapped--
The vines fell to the ground, making a soft thud.
The housekeeper finally broke free!
He glared angrily at Zi'an, who was wearing Baron Stern's breastplate.
"I am the rightful heir to the Stern family!"
His breathing became extremely heavy!
He turned around!
He's trying to escape!
Zi Yi pointed to the butler.
"Kill him!"
collapse--
whoosh-
In an instant, Zi'an nocked the arrow, drew the bow, and fired in one fluid motion!
The butler collapsed after taking only one step; his head and body completed a two-stage launch, with only his head reaching the doorway.
boom!
Calbin slammed his hand on the table, and Zian took out a second arrow.
"Well done!"
He shouted as he spoke.
"Sir, there are three more members of the Stern family..."
boom!
"grown ups!"
Tritan stood up, pressing his hand on the table, and looked at Zi Yi, speaking to him.
"The butler also has two sons, who also bear the Stern name and have inheritance rights to the Stern family business!"
Zi Yi secretly tugged at Li Mosi's trouser leg, and Li Mosi lightly patted the back of the chair.
Ziyi nodded.
"Kill Soko's two sons!"
"yes!"
Ziwang's reply came from outside the door.
The sound of footsteps faded into the distance.
Two young male voices rang out.
"What are you doing?!"
"what!"
When the footsteps approached again, Zwan appeared carrying two severed heads.
That was the young man who had previously called the butler "father".
He approached the table and said, "Sir, the steward's wife died in childbirth, and these two sons are the last people to bear the Stern name."
"very good."
Zi Yi nodded slightly and looked at the three managers.
"I hope they are the last ones to die."
How did he know the butler's name?
Where did this person come from?!
Tritan glanced at Zwan's figure out of the corner of his eye, racking his brains but still couldn't figure out who this young man was.
He didn't recognize the voice at all!
"Gurgle."
Kalbin looked at the two heads in Zwan's hands and immediately realized that this was an opportunity!
He quickly spoke up.
"My lord! Tritan's wife is also from the Stern family!"
