At dawn, when the sky was just brightening, Liu Yuanwai took the servants from the mansion to the dock. Although the county magistrate's wife had asked him to take a rest today, he thought that the salt farmers were all newcomers and he must be present in person to supervise them before feeling at ease.

  Following the usual practice, he came to the dock, but the three sailors guarding the ship today did not come forward.

  Liu Yuanwai immediately knew that something was wrong, and he quickly raised his vigilance. He quietly instructed the few attendants close to him to go and remind the people following behind them to disperse immediately, and not to approach the boat without his permission.

  Why was Liu Yuanwai so cautious? Because Mai Duoduo and Liang Zhijie had told him earlier that someone would come to coerce him for the secret recipe of salt production.

  Liu Yuanwai took out the signal flare given to him by Liang Zhijie from his pocket and fired it into the air. The special forces hiding in various corners of the dock saw the signal and rushed over.

  At this time, the three princes and Lin Zhi, who were hiding on the boat, found it strange to see the yellow sparks suddenly appearing in mid-air.

  But before they could react and figure out what was happening, a group of people rushed in and surrounded them.

  Lin Zhi and the three princes saw that these people in front of them were dressed in a shabby manner: some had one pant leg high and the other low, some had gray hair and a gray face carrying a fish basket. Even several were wearing straw sandals and carrying hoes. Humph! These unarmed civilians would not be taken seriously by them.

  "How dare you! What do you want to do?" Lin Zhi angrily glared at the surrounding dark and dense muddy legs.

  "This question should be asked by me. What do you want to do on my ship?" Liu Yuanwai walked out of the crowd and asked Lin Zhi in front of him.

  Lin Zhi looked back at the Third Prince and exchanged a glance with him.

  "Are you Liu Yuanwai? I am the secret envoy of the Emperor." Lin Zhi handed over the token passed by the Third Prince and presented it to Liu Yuanwai.

  Liu accepted the token, took a glance at it and returned it to Lin Zhi, saying: "I, Liu, am just a merchant, I really don't understand why His Majesty would send an imperial envoy to my humble ship."

  "How dare you! Seeing the token is like seeing the Emperor himself, and yet you bunch of lowly commoners still don't hurry up and kneel down!" Lin Zhi yelled loudly at the crowd beside him.

  "The Emperor has already issued a decree to abandon our Nanjing County, and just recently, he also issued an imperial edict prohibiting all merchants from doing business with the people of Nanjing County. Since the Emperor is pushing us to the end of the road, why should we still kneel to him?" Liu's words became more and more agitated, not even caring about the title "Heavenly Father", using it in his speech.

  The third prince saw that Liu Yuanwai had no regard for the imperial law to such an extent, and when he saw the emperor's token, he didn't even kneel down, and still dared to call himself "us". This is simply contemptuous of imperial power.

  "How dare you! Come and bind this obstinate commoner for me!" The Third Prince ordered his attendants.

  At this time, the special soldiers surrounding them captured more than a dozen dark guards of the third prince at lightning speed, and also captured...
