"Tax collection?"
Upon hearing the words 'tax collection,' Nian Shutong hadn't yet grasped the situation, but the Emperor and Empress behind her stepped forward excitedly. Tax collection? Who was collecting taxes?
In the entire interstellar, all taxes were uniformly collected by the Royal Family—there were no additional taxes. On what basis were these people here to collect taxes?
At that moment, Nian Shutong, although temporarily unaware of this rule, was already feeling somewhat oppressed by the day's discussions about tax collection. And now, these few individuals even dared to claim they were here to collect taxes.
She stepped forward, and whether intentional or not, her foot landed squarely on the back of the man's hand.
"Ouch———ah———"
The man cried out in a mixture of groans and yelps but quickly suppressed his screams the next second.
"What tax are you collecting? On whose behalf are you collecting taxes?"
"My patience is quite limited."
