This group of fake government soldiers is really foolish to pretend to be government officials here at Chen Jie's place. It's known that after Chen Jie left, Tang Wannian of the government is just his mascot. Any government policy needs the approval of the Fishing Guild before it can be implemented.
And they dared to impersonate the government to collect taxes. As an elder of the Fishing Guild, Wu Zhong could see through their act at a glance.
Seeing how aggressive they were, he decided to give them some leeway for a few days. The group of guys then gave them two days.
If they still didn't pay taxes by then, they'd be taken to the government to stand and wait in the cage.
As a result, two days later, when they returned, the entire village was deserted, not a soul in sight, leaving the Zoroastrian Sect people dumbfounded. What was going on? Where were the people?
