In the early morning, a crisp knock on the door woke Yanchen up.

"Lord Yanchen, are you up? It's breakfast time now, and the village chief's grandfather asked me to bring you food..."A crisp children's voice sounded outside the door.

"Ah, wait a minute, this will come..."Yanchen changed into his Chaldean uniform and opened the door.

"You are?" Opening the door, Yanchen found that it was a little girl she had never seen before, she looked about ten years old, wearing clothes made of coarse cloth, her bare skin was a little dark, and her hands were also covered with calluses from agricultural work.

"Hey, I'm Sally... The village chief's grandfather told me to bring you breakfast..."The girl named Sally smiled sunnyly, holding a wooden food box in her dark hands.

"So, thank you, Sally-chan..."Yan Chen gently closed the food box, gently stroked the girl's head, and smiled with the same sunshine.

"Hey, Sally is going to help Daddy, goodbye Yanchen-sama..." Sally narrowed her eyes and smiled, then jumped up and ran towards the farmland.

"Sa, even if you live a poor life, you still have a smile on your face... The people here are really simple..."Yan Chen sighed as he held the food box in his hand and looked at the back of Sally leaving.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a smile like this... Heh..."Yan Chen sighed, and then walked into the house with the food box in his hand.

- Divide - Split - Split -

"Sa, that's as expected," he sighed looking at the wild vegetables in the food box and the only few pieces of meat swallow dust.

A noisy noise outside the house caught Yan Chen's attention.

"Did something happen?" Through the window, Yan Chen saw many villagers gathered in a clearing, and the noise came from that clearing.

"It seems that something interesting has happened, so let's go and see..."The corners of Yan Chen's mouth raised a hint of a smile, and he walked out of the room quickly.

"Please forgive me for two days, there is really no food left in the village..."The old man's voice came from the crowd.

"None? Don't you have a lot of seeds to be planted in your family, and all your usual rations have been handed over...", an obese official cried out in a high-pitched voice.

"These abominable moths," one of the villagers scolded in a low voice.

"Five days ago, these bastards just finished collecting their taxes, and today they're here to pay their food... How should I live this day?" sighed to another villager with a sad face.

"Oh, I see..."Standing on a tree, looking at everything that happened below, Yan Chen's heart was already clear.

It is just a drama of officials looting the people, which is very common in the world of beheading.

"But if there are no seeds, how will we harvest crops this year?" the old man looked sad.

"It's your business how to farm, but the requisition of grain is an order of the Empire, and you must obey it..."The fat official sneered and took out an edict with his very fat hand.

"Due to the tight war in the south, officials from all over the country were specially ordered to collect grain from the people..."The old man once served as a guard in the imperial capital, although he could not distinguish the truth of the edict, but he did read it word by word.

"I didn't expect you old ghost to be literate, now that you've seen the edict, you should know what to do, right?" The fat official sneered and said to the old man.

"......" The white-haired old man was silent, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes as he looked at the shouting officials. The surrounding villagers saw that the old man did not speak, and they also looked at the officials in silence and coldly.

"Don't go yet," the fat official scolded as he looked at the villagers around him who were not moving.

But the villagers remained silent and did not move......

"You untouchables dare to disobey the edict, you can't find death," the fat official shouted angrily, and a dozen of the guards behind him drew their long swords at their waists at the same time.

The long sword glittered in the sunlight, and the guards looked at the surrounding villagers with evil faces, and the villagers also clenched the scythe in their hands, and the two sides confronted each other......

"Do you bastards want to rebel? Believe it or not, I'm going to report it to the Taishou and send troops to exterminate you......" The fat official sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere and shouted sharply.

"......" The white-haired old man's fists clenched and loosened again and again, he was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Let's not talk about whether the resistance can be successful, even if it succeeds, what can you do if you kill these bastards in front of you? When the Taishou army presses the border, he and these villagers will definitely die...

The white-haired old man warned himself again and again, but if he handed over the seeds of spring ploughing, then the villagers would definitely starve to death... Two dead ends to hell are in front of the old man.

"Bastard, do you really want to die?" The obese officer snatched the long sword in the guard's hand and put it on the old man's neck, blood... Dripping from the sword.

"Grandpa...", the young man who had a relationship with Yan Chen squeezed out of the crowd and exclaimed.

"The village chief...", the villagers also shouted loudly, and several strong young men surrounded him and raised their scythes angrily, just waiting for the old man to give an order, rushing forward and chopping these bastards to pieces...

"All stand down...", the old man shouted angrily to stop the angry villagers.

"Go and get the grain... Take it all out, we are the people of the Empire...", the old man gritted his teeth and said with difficulty.

"The village chief..."

"I can't pay it..."

The villagers vented their frustrations loudly.

"Let's go..."The old man seemed to use all his strength... Said with difficulty.

"Hmph, count you acquaintances..."The fat official snorted disdainfully.

After a while, the villagers returned with baskets full of grain seeds, full of resentment.

"Go and order," the fat official said to the guards beside him.

“…………”

"My lord, it's half the amount required by each village...", the guard said with understanding.

"You heard that, too, it's half the difference," said the obese official with a sneer, glancing around the surrounding villagers.

The surrounding villagers were full of anger, but there was nothing they could do.

"Although the difference is half, Lord Ben is merciful, and you can make up for the difference with money... According to five times the market price...", the obese official said with a grim face.

"Five-fold?"

"Why don't you rob it..."

"Damn moth, we're fighting him..."

"Heh, don't want to use money? Then it's okay to use people... The nobles in the city and the imperial capital have been short of slaves lately, and I think you are good...", the obese official said with a cruel smile on his face.

"All the women are taken away..."The fat official waved his hand, and a dozen guards rushed up behind him.

"Don't..."

"Fight with them..."

How could a villager in sackcloth with a scythe in hand be an opponent for a well-armed guard in armor, a dozen guards were like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and countless villagers fell.

Crying, shouting, and fighting were mixed together, and the scene became chaotic for a while.

A clear and loud voice came from a distance, as if it had an inexplicable magical power, and at this moment both the resisting villagers and the looting guards stopped.

"Although I have always known that you miscellaneous pieces are disgusting, it seems that my understanding of you is not comprehensive enough..."Yan Chen looked at the fat official and the murderous guard with a disgusted face.

"Bastard, what are you? How dare you take care of the affairs of the imperial officials..."The fat nobleman scolded angrily, and he felt a wave of unease from Yan Chen.

"A passing mask... I'm sorry, I got the wrong line..."Yan Chen waved his hand as if embarrassed and said with a smile, and then golden whirlpools that rose like flames appeared behind him.

"I'm the one who is about to send you beasts in human skins to hell, don't remember it for me..."Yan Chen said with a smile, and one by one the shining weapons carried unstoppable force towards the official and his guards.

- Divide - Split - Split -

"This ......" The villagers looked at Yan Chen with shocked faces, and just now, swords like cannonballs shot out from his back, and at that moment, both the well-armed guards and the obese officials were torn to shreds.

"You... You... Are you the Emperor's Envoy? The white-haired old man forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and asked in a trembling voice.

"Well, you should take it like this..."Yan Chen smiled and waved his hand.

"But it looks like I've caused you trouble," Yan Chen said as he looked at the officials and others who had been turned into minced meat.

"No, if it weren't for your help, Lord Yanchen, I'm afraid our village would be over today..."The white-haired old man shook his head and said.

"What are you going to do next?" asked Yanchen.

"Relocation... Move somewhere else... There's only one way to do it now," the old man sighed.

"Relocation? It's also a solution..."Yan Chen nodded clearly.

"Is Lord Yanchen going to the imperial capital?" The old man looked at Yanchen and asked.

"Hmm..."

"Please do me a favor..."

"Tell me..."

"If you meet children named Tazmi, Iyeas, and Sayo in the Imperial Capital, please give them this letter..."

"Sa, understood, if you encounter it..."Yan Chen waved his hand and took the letter.

"Thank you," said the old man. Then Yanchen and the villagers parted ways.

"You're going to agree to this request... When have you been so kind...", Kami asked with a bored wave of his hand holding a letter on Vimana.

"Ha, I've always been a good person..."Yan Chen touched Kami's little head and said.

"Hehe," Kami smiled and said nothing.
