"Elder Ji, there may be internal reasons. Let's take a look first." Xu Ming smiled awkwardly. Now that Qinhuaicheng is a whole, such a disharmonious situation will never be allowed to occur.
"Huh, in order to build the floating city, resources in the city are in short supply. Everyone has the obligation to do their part." The city guard said with a cold face, without any doubt: "As a member of Qinhuai City, you are the future The beneficiaries of the floating city should contribute their own strength."
"But, we have no money and no strength." This city citizen cried and begged, "In order to support the floating city, our family has sold all valuable things, and the eldest son has also joined the team to build city defenses. , we really can’t come up with anything more.”
Everyone was talking about it. They had indeed had a lot of resources confiscated during this period.
Although I was a little reluctant, I still gritted my teeth and contributed resources to the floating city.
However, the resources currently invested in building the floating city seem to be far from enough. The royal family also has to levy taxes from the city residents, which undoubtedly puts huge pressure on their survival.
The floating city is a refuge, but now it is endangering their survival. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse
"Hmph, if you can't take it out, then find a way to take it out. We were ordered to collect it this time. If you dare to refuse, it will be treason and you should be expelled from Qinhuai City."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar!
"Lord City Guard, are you going too far? We are a part of Qinhuai City, so we will naturally contribute to the construction of the floating city. However, we really can't come up with more resources, and we can't force it. ?”
"That's right! Do we have to sacrifice our lives for the floating city?"
"Hmph, if this is true, then the floating city is not our ideal country, but a purgatory!!"
As everyone discussed, public opinion poured into the city residents, constantly denouncing the forced expropriation by these city guards.
Snap!
The city guard raised his hand and gave the city citizen a hard slap in the face.
Suddenly, everyone was so frightened that they shut their mouths and looked at the city guard with a look of horror on his face.
"You are against me!!" The city guard squinted his eyes and glanced at the citizens coldly. "Since you are not willing to cooperate, then get out of Qinhuai City. You are not worthy of enjoying the protection of the floating city!!"
"Too disgusting!!"
"We gave everything for Qinhuai City, and now you want to drive us away? You are simply beasts, worse than Hongnan Kingdom!!"
"Get it for me and blast out of Qinhuai City!!"
Following the city guard's order, many city guards rushed over and were about to attack the citizens.
The city residents were also angered and started to resist.
"stop!!"
At this moment, a loud shout erupted, and everyone's minds were slightly shaken. They saw a figure flying down from the sky, lying in the middle of them.
"It's Elder Ji!!"
Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw who was coming.
"Elder Ji, you are the judge! Their city guards are forcing resources from us. We really can't get them out, and they want to drive us out of Qinhuai City."
The citizens of the city complained to Ji Wuya one after another. They believed that Princess Xiaoman's second apprentice would definitely give them a fair explanation.
Ji Wuya frowned and glanced around the crowd suspiciously.
Qinhuai City has always been harmonious before. Why is this happening today
