Just when Qin Ming returned to the city, he ran into a Jinsha City guard arguing with someone.

Seeing Qin Ming, the surrounding people respectfully separated a passage.

Qin Ming stepped forward.

When the guards of Jinsha City saw Qin Ming, they seemed to have seen the backbone and ran forward quickly.

"Your Highness the Sixth Prince! You are here at the right time!"

"Look at this man, he said he was sent by Emperor Yan to collect official grain..."

"In Lingnan, no one has come to collect grain for many years..."

"If I look at it, they must be liars..."

After listening to the words of the Jinsha City guard, Qin Ming also looked up and down at the visitor.

These people were dressed in the attire of the Great Yan Army, especially the leader, who was wearing a blue official robe and had an arrogant look on his face. He barely concealed his disdain for the people around him. Qin Ming really looked like that.

At this time, Qin Ming's feeling that the other party was a liar gradually faded away.

These...couldn't they be true?

Qin Ming was a little confused.

Meng Fan in front of him was also puzzled.

Just by looking at their outfits, he recognized several of the people who came.

They are the officials who collect official grain from various places!

This was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes in so many years.

In the past ten years, he had been trembling with fear, and from the bottom of his heart he was afraid of these officials who collected official grain.

Since his family knows his own affairs, doesn't he still know how much food is left in Jinsha City?

If this was discovered by the officials who collected official rations, he would be doomed!

In those ten years, he had not seen these officials once, which made him gradually relax.

However, what he saw today made his heart tighten again.

"Why would this gentleman think of coming to our Jinsha City today?"

The blue-robed official glanced at him with a sneer, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of questioning me?"

"I am here to follow the laws of Great Flame established by His Majesty! Do you dare to disobey His Majesty's will?"

Meng Fan's breathing was stagnant. The other party directly brought out Emperor Yan and the Law, which made him breathless.

He struggled and replied, "This official is... the chief clerk of Jinsha City. I dare not question you."

The blue-robed official even disdained to drink lightly.

"Little Chief Secretary, get out of here!"

"Don't block my way!"

"Where is your county magistrate? Why haven't you come out to greet me?"

His words were contemptuous and had a condescending air.

In terms of official position, he is indeed much higher than Meng Fan, a small chief clerk.

Even the county magistrate of a city has to bow his head in front of officials who collect taxes like this.

Meng Fan became even more embarrassed.

They Jinsha City, wherever there is a county magistrate, they have all run away.

"My lord... Jinsha City still has no county magistrate."

The blue-robed official thought Meng Fan was joking after hearing what he said.

But looking at Meng Fan's embarrassed look, he finally believed it.

"There is no county magistrate? Oh, then aren't you the biggest in this Jinsha City?"

He looked Meng Fan up and down, shook his head and said contemptuously.

Qin Ming, who was sitting on a plate, looked at him quietly, with no discernible expression in his eyes.

The blue-robed official ignored him from beginning to end.

It was as if he couldn't be seen.

Meng Fan glanced at Qin Ming. How dare he agree with the blue-robed official's words? He shook his head repeatedly.

The blue-robed official was a little annoyed and snorted coldly.

"Young master, how dare you take advantage of me for fun?"

"Believe it or not, I will take you down directly for obstructing collection?!"

Meng Fan was about to say something, but was stopped by Qin Ming with a wave of his hand.

Qin Ming looked at the blue-robed official in front of him with interest.

What is this guy doing?

He says he's a liar, but he doesn't look like it.

But if he wasn't a liar, why wouldn't he recognize Qin Ming?

Qin Ming was a little curious in his heart.

"what you up to?"

Qin Ming asked bluntly.

The blue-robed official looked at him as if he were a fool.

"What do you think I'm going to do? Your Jinsha City hasn't paid official food for how many years, right?"

Qin Ming wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Also pay official rations?

The people in Jinsha City have been hungry for many years.

How many people starved to death?

Not only did the court not distribute food relief, but it also had to requisition food?

Are you really not taking the lives of the people in Lingnan seriously?

Moreover, this Jinsha City has not received official food for so many years.

Qin Ming has only been here a few days, and Jinsha City has started to collect official rations?

"Who sent you here?"

Qin Ming stared into the eyes of the leading blue-robed official, his dark and deep eyes seeming to see through him.

The blue-robed official's body trembled unconsciously. After he reacted, he said angrily, "We are appointed by His Majesty. What do you mean by this? Do you dare to question the current Holy Emperor?!"

"Someone, get it for him!"

He gave the order, and the several Great Yanjun around him walked towards Qin Ming.

They clenched their fists and their joints cracked.

However, they quickly realized something was wrong.

Beside them, the eyes of the people around them changed when they looked at them.

Become angry, and yet pity.

One by one, the common people took the initiative to stand in front of them and glared at them.

"What do you want to do?!"

"Don't harm His Highness Qin Ming!"

And just behind these people, figures wearing green armor appeared one by one, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The guards of Jinsha City also seemed to realize something, their eyes became fierce, and they waved to the brothers in the distance.

The guards of Jinsha City in the distance also gathered around.

Soon, these Great Yan Army were surrounded by people.

Whether it's the people in the city, the guards, or the Qingjia Army.

They all looked at the Great Yan Army and the blue-robed official with unkind expressions.

Seeing such a formation, these Great Yan Army's original momentum also relaxed.

He took a few steps back and looked around warily.

The blue-robed official felt a little scared when he saw this scene.

But he still held on and raised his voice.

"What do you want to do?"

"Are you going to rebel?!"

"Collection is the law of the Great Flame set by His Majesty! You dare to violate it, are you tired of living?"

His words still had some effect.

Some common people were immediately frightened when they heard the name of Emperor Yan and being labeled as a rebel.

They took a few steps back.

But there were still many people who stood in front of Qin Ming without fear.

Most of them are the men from Jinsha City who were trained in the past.

Of course, there are also the Qingjia Army of Qin Ming.

They didn't move, their hands already resting on the weapons at their waists.

Just waiting for Qin Ming's order, they will rise up and chop these guys who are hostile to Qin Ming into pieces!

For them, everything about Emperor Yan and any laws are all nonsense!

Only Qin Ming is their eternal lord!

This murderous intention was almost solid, causing the expressions of the Great Flame Army to change drastically, and they could not hide the panic on their faces.

The blue-robed official didn't seem to notice it yet, and became arrogant again when he saw the people around him retreating.

Pointing at Qin Ming's nose, "Didn't you hear? Get it for me!"
