Nonsense.
Do you think I wouldn't know if you didn't say anything?
When Bai Chuchu started with such blatant nonsense, Yi Lin rolled his eyes dramatically.
But seeing how she was so obediently kneeling, Yi Lin didn't interrupt and listened quietly.
After a while.
Yi Lin roughly understood the reason.
The root cause was the Southern King.
Cows' Village, located in Jin Ping Province, was under the jurisdiction of one of the thirteen provinces controlled by the Southern King.
For the past half-year, the Southern King had been levying oppressive taxes, conscripting men from ages twelve to forty-five for forced service, mandating military enlistment. Regarding taxation, the Southern King ignored the previous rule of once-a-year collection and, in just half a year, imposed various unjust taxes, worsening the plight of the already impoverished people, causing families to break apart.
