Original God: Starting with a Skyfire Suicide.

Chapter 56 The Problem of Closing the Country

"Speaking of which, Son of God, how come you've become so idle? I can see you everywhere I go here."

Meng Yan looked at the Eightfold Son of God who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and was a little suspicious. It felt like the Eightfold Son of God had a tracking device installed on him, and he would always suddenly appear in various situations.

"Oh my! Doesn't this seem like we are destined to be together? By the way, Xiao Yanzi, why did you come to the vegetable market in person?"

The Eightfold God Son looked at Meng Yan with a smile, and his face always had a cunning smile.

"Compared to whether the fact that we are destined to be together is reliable or not, I am more concerned about why you, the chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, are here? If you say that you want to cook for me personally, I will not believe it at all!"

Meng Yan rolled her eyes and looked at Yae Shenzi speechlessly.

"I've already told you it was a coincidence, Xiao Yanzi, why don't you believe me? You're going to make me very sad!"

As Yae Shinko spoke, she looked as if she was about to burst into tears.

Meng Yan: "......"

Although she knew that Yae Shenzi had a bad personality, Meng Yan couldn't help but twitch her lips. Compared to the shameless Yae Shenzi, Meng Yan couldn't compare to her now. She didn't know what to say, so she just ignored her. After all, Shenzi wasn't as simple as the general and the shadow.

So Mengyan left without saying a word, went into the vegetable market and started to pick out some better ingredients.

Seeing that Meng Yan ignored her, Yae Shenzi was not annoyed. She restrained her expression and smiled again. She quickly caught up with Meng Yan. What stood out was that she was thick-skinned.

"Oh my! Xiaoyanzi, wait for me!"

Meng Yan: "......"

To be honest, Meng Yan was not very good at dealing with a cunning woman like Yae Shen Zi. Who knows when she would be led into trouble? So she simply ignored her and picked out fresh ingredients.

"Boss, how much is this melon per pound?"

Meng Yan came to a small stall selling watermelons, pointed at the watermelons on the shelf and asked, he planned to buy some watermelons to make watermelon jelly

"One thousand two hundred and fifty Moras a pound!"

The boss on the recliner said without raising his head

"What's up!"

When Meng Yan heard the price, he blurted out a swear word.

"Is the melon rind made of gold or is the melon seed made of gold?"

"Hey~! You little guy, this is Liyue's melon! If you think it's too expensive, I think it's too expensive too!"

When the boss heard this, he immediately became unhappy and quickly sat up from the recliner, looking like he wanted to argue with Meng Yan. However, after seeing Meng Yan's appearance, the boss fell silent.

"That... that, Lord Mengyan turned out to be you!"

The melon stall owner immediately showed an embarrassed smile on his face. Meng Yan is now almost known to everyone in Inazuma, and almost everyone in Inazuma City knows the general's personal disciple who has become famous recently, and also knows his appearance, so the melon stall owner also recognized Meng Yan at once.

"I remember watermelons weren't that expensive some time ago, right?"

Meng Yan looked at the boss and asked, with an expression that said, "Please tell me something nice." The boss's face immediately fell and he gave a bitter smile.

"Okay, Xiao Yanzi, there is really nothing wrong with the boss's offer!"

At this time, the soft and charming voice of Yae Shenzi came, and then Yae Shenzi slowly walked to the front of the melon stall and said to the stall owner:

"Tell me what the situation is!"

"Oh! Okay, Lord Yae-miyaji!"

When the boss saw that it was Yae Shinko, he quickly agreed, and then said helplessly

"There's nothing we can do about it. We don't have many local melons in Inazuma, and most of the melons we sell are from Liyue, so some melons are a bit more expensive, but not outrageously so.

But Master Mengyan, you know that Inazuma is now closed to the outside world, and things from Liyue cannot come in at all. Even if they do come in, they are very few. In addition, the Kanjo Bugyo will collect very high taxes, which has caused the prices of these goods from Liyue to increase several times. We merchants can only sell them at this price!"

After hearing what his boss said, Meng Yan didn't know what to say for a moment. After going through the Inazuma plot, he knew that the harm of the [Lockdown Order] was no less than that of the [Eye Hunting Order], and it was even more serious. After all, the main victims of the [Eye Hunting Order] were the owners of the Eye of God. Although these people were not uncommon, they actually accounted for a small proportion of the total population of Inazuma.

But the isolation order was different. It affected all the people of Inazuma. It can be determined that the casualties caused by the magistrate in the Inazuma riot were probably no less than those of the Tenryo magistrate.

When I think of Li Mengyan, I feel that the two old men, Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke, deserve to die. They clearly have power in Inazuma that is far beyond the reach of ordinary people, but these two people still collude with foreign enemies for their own selfish desires to harm the country. In Mengyan's opinion, such people deserve to be put to death by slow slicing.

It seems that we need to deal with the matter of the Kanjo Bugyo as soon as possible!

Before, Mengyan thought he had plenty of time and could slowly play with Kanjo Bugyo, but today's scene made Mengyan understand a truth: there are some things he can wait for, but the ordinary people who are victims may not be able to wait.

"Haha, little guy, judging from your expression, do you think you figured something out?"

Yae Shinko looked at Meng Yan, who was obviously deep in thought, and his expression changed. He couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, I figured out some things. I was too short-sighted before! My way of thinking wasn't comprehensive enough!"

Meng Yan didn't feel embarrassed at all. He wasn't born a saint. It was normal for him to have limited vision. Fortunately, he discovered it not too late.

"Boss, two melons, please send the bill to the castle tower in my name!"

Mengyan carefully selected two watermelons of the best quality and said to the boss

Afterwards, Mengyan went to other stalls to buy some food. Mengyan found that the prices of some products were normal, but the prices of some products were several times more expensive than before. Mengyan bought the good ones regardless of the price and sent all the bills to the castle tower.

After finishing the work, Meng Yan put all the things into the storage space he had created, and then he and Yae Shenzi slowly left the street.

"Xiao Yanzi, what do you want to do?"

Yae Shenzi looked at Meng Yan who was thinking all the way and asked

"I want to quickly resolve the Kanjo Bugyo issue. If this continues, the people of Inazuma won't be able to stand it!"

Meng Yan shook his head and said that a simple sentence could affect millions of ordinary people. This was the first time Meng Yan knew how heavy power really was.
