The next day, after having breakfast, Jiang Mingyu waved to Murong Yunhai, Tuxluo and the four newly recruited government officials and said: "You go out with my envoy to observe the people's sentiments and give us some time."

Not much more.”

As soon as his voice fell, he heard a commotion outside.

He frowned and was about to ask what was going on when he saw a foot kicking open the door of the county government office, and then a group of soldiers armed with weapons rushed in.

Their clothes were in tatters, their faces were covered with weather and scars, and their eyes showed hunger and anger.

The leader was a middle-aged officer. His face was pale, there was a piece of lees on his nose, and a mustache on his chin. When he saw Jiang Mingyu, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and he strode up to him and pointed.

His nose shouted: "Are you the new imperial envoy?"

Jiang Mingyu put his hands behind his back and looked calm: "This imperial envoy is Jiang Mingyu. So many of you broke in, what advice do you have?"

The anger in the eyes of the mustachioed officer continued: "Okay, I heard that you are in charge of Shangmu County now, so I have found the right person."

His attitude was as tough as if he was about to take someone's life. All the soldiers held up their swords and sticks, with stern eyes, ready for action at any time.

"Do you know how long it has been since we, the border troops, received our military pay? Two months! Two whole months! In order to protect the safety of Dafeng, we risk our lives and fight with foreigners every day, but when we come back, we can't even eat.

!What’s the point?”

He said, waving to the soldiers behind him: "Look at them, what do they look like? Some are scarred, some are skinny, and some don't even have clothes to wear! We are just representatives, and there are

Hundreds of people are waiting in the barracks. They all hold swords and are just waiting for a message."

"We don't want to threaten you, but you have to know that we can't bear it any more. If you can't get your military pay today, don't blame us for being rude. We are all rough people and do things unreasonably. If we do something, we still can't bear it.

Please don't be offended, sir."

Tukslow was furious when he heard this: "You are rebelling! Do you know the consequences of rebellion? Kill the nine tribes! Kill the nine tribes!"

Mustache sneered: "Rebellion? It's a miracle that we can survive until now. We shed blood and sweat for the country, but we don't get the treatment we deserve. We can't live anymore, and neither can you dog officials."

.Even if we rebel today, it’s because of you.”

"Master Jiang, please give me some cheering words quickly. If you give me some money, we should all die together."

Jiang Mingyu's heart sank. He knew that these soldiers were desperate and would not give up easily.

He also knew that the money in the county government was not enough to pay their military salaries.

He thought for a moment and tried to calm down the atmosphere: "Brother, please don't get excited. This matter is an imperial envoy..."

Mustache interrupted him impatiently: "Don't tell me anything about this imperial envoy. Are you determined not to pay me anymore?"

"Then don't blame us for being merciless. Come on, brothers! Get rid of this dog officer!"

Facing hundreds of fierce-looking soldiers and the swords in their hands, Tuxlow stopped Jiang Mingyu behind him without saying a word.

Murong Yunhai and others on the side suddenly changed their expressions.

These soldiers have been in and out of battle for months and years, killing people like chickens.

The soldiers were approaching step by step, but Jiang Mingyu's brows were calm: "Are you sent by Captain Ma?"

His voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible in the cold wind.

Mustache smiled grimly: "What does this have to do with you? I told you I would give you money to save your life, and if you don't give me money, I will send you on your way! Even if you are an imperial envoy, we are not afraid!"

The soldiers behind him immediately responded.

"That's right. If you can't get any money today, I'll keep you alive."

"I'm going to starve to death anyway, so it's worth it to support the imperial envoy."

"What an imperial envoy? We can't survive anymore. If you are still afraid of this, brothers, chop him up."

"..."

The scene became increasingly chaotic, and it was obvious that as long as Jiang Mingyu said something carelessly, blood would be spilled on the spot.

Jiang Mingyu didn't panic at all: "Everyone, calm down, why did I say that I won't give you money?"

He was even more certain that these people were sent by King Qi to cause trouble.

Apart from Murong Yunhai and Liu Ersui, only Ma Duwei, a close confidant of King Qi, knew that he was an imperial envoy personally appointed by His Majesty.

That's fine, if you want to play, I will play with you, Jiang Mingyu secretly thought.

Murong Yunhai, whose expression changed several times, couldn't help but whispered: "Brother Xingqiu, let's..."

Jiang Mingyu raised his hand and said, "I have my own plan."

His eyes coldly glanced at Mustache and the others, shocking them.

The man with a murderous mustache stretched out his rough hand: "Then take the silver?"
