I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 284 I would rather be a dog of peace than a person in troubled times!
"Here, come, my God, this is a train, it's so big and big!"

"You said whether the emperor can see us, and you don't know if the emperor knows about us. If he knows, how much punishment will be reduced for us, and will he let us go home directly?"

"It's hard to say. After all, we only caught a small leader and let the female leader run away. If the female leader is caught, maybe we can go home directly."

With the sound of a whistle, the speed of the train slowly decreased.

On the side of the train tracks, Zhang Kejian and his party were watching the prisoners while they were discussing in low voices on the train.

The captives kneeling on the ground opened their mouths in shock when they saw the train slowly approaching from the night.

"Monsters, monsters, Mother Buddha is right, this is indeed a monster, this is not only a monster formation, but also a big formation for monsters to walk."

"No wonder Buddha's mother was attacked by him just now, she must be very powerful with such a big figure."

The ignorant believers saw thick smoke billowing from their heads and a huge monster with glowing eyes on top of it, and their calves began to weaken in fright.

Some of the timid ones even wondered whether the cruel court would throw them directly to the monsters.

"Whoa!"

As the train moved forward slowly at a trot speed, the fourth carriage was opened. Zhu Zhangui jumped down from above with dozens of guards, then raised his survival flashlight and shook it at the front of the car.

The front of the car that received the signal slowed down and began to speed up slowly, heading for Jinan Station ten miles away.

"It's my eldest nephew!"

Zhang Kejian, who was a little blinded by the steam, squinted his eyes at the person who got out of the car, and when he saw the person clearly, he shouted excitedly.After explaining to a few people around him, he quickly walked up to him.

"Nephew, you are here!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded, and walked towards the captive surrounded by everyone.

"Eldest nephew, what did the emperor say?"

Following Zhu Zhangui's side, some anxious second generations dared not ask Zhu Zhangui how the emperor rewarded them, so they could only encourage Zhang Kejian, the uncle of the country, to ask.

Zhang Kejian was like a cat scratching in his heart. After confirming that Zhu Zhangui looked okay, he poked his mouth cautiously.

He was more afraid of this nephew than seeing his brother-in-law.

If he did something wrong, his brother-in-law Zhu Pangpang would at most say a few words to him and hit him a few times.

And this nephew is different, as long as he dares to violate the court laws, he will be punished with a board at the least, and he may be thrown directly into the bottom of Jinyiwei Prison, where he will live with those death row prisoners for a few days.

So Zhang Kejian respected and feared this nephew.

Zhu Zhangui glanced at him.

"The emperor didn't say anything, just let me take charge of this matter."

Zhang Kejian and the others felt a little disappointed. Could it be that the emperor just ignored them for making such a great contribution?

Although they were guilty, they could be regarded as the first batch of people who discovered the rebels, and still arrested a group of people.

Alas, if I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have worked so hard just now.

Although the second generations all had martial arts by their side, they had a large number of enemies after all. Although no one was killed because of this, all of them were injured.

Touching the pain on their faces, a group of people fell into depression.

Zhu Zhangui naturally knew what Zhang Kejian and the others wanted to ask.

Whether those people who were arrested and killed belonged to the White Lotus Sect is only a one-sided opinion of Zhang Kejian and others.

If the imperial court designated these people as the White Lotus Sect, and later it was found out that Zhang Kejian and others deliberately framed or misunderstood them, the imperial court would be ashamed.

Therefore, regarding the rewards of Zhang Kejian and others, only after confirming the identities of the dead and captives can they decide how to change the rewards.

A group of people accompanied Zhu Zhangui to the prisoner.

Glancing at the corpse next to him and the captives being guarded by the other second generations, Zhu Zhangui walked forward with his expression unchanged, and checked whether there were any traces on the corpse.

According to imperial court records, when Bailian believers entered the religion, they would use incense to imprint lotus marks on their bodies to represent that they were like white lotuses, free from dust.

According to the old man, Lao Zhu has this mark on his body.

As for where to stamp, it is up to the individual to decide, as long as it is on the body, you can burn wherever you want, even if it is stamped on the big brother, as long as you are not afraid of pain, you can do it yourself.

Hu Yu next to him held a flashlight, and while helping Zhu Zhangui illuminate, he was alert to the dozen or so White Lotus Sect captives and the surrounding environment.

The presence of members of the White Lotus Sect here means that the surrounding area is a place where the White Lotus Sect often wanders.

According to the report, there has been a wave of repulsion ahead, and those people may return at any time, so being careful is the top priority.

"Sure enough!"

Zhu Zhangui, who was flipping through the corpse, stopped, looked at the back of the neck of the corpse in front of him, and frowned at the faint lotus imprint.

Maybe when it was hot, the person who did it was not good enough, and the traces of the lotus flower were crooked, but it can still be seen that it is a lotus flower.

"Nephew, that's right, they belong to the White Lotus Sect. Before we fought with us just now, what slogans did they shout? When I heard the first one, I realized that something was wrong with them. Then when I thought about their slogans, I remembered that they belonged to the White Lotus Sect. people."

Zhang Kejian, who was squatting aside, never forgot to show his merits.

It's not enough to show merit, his punishment is the heaviest among the second generation present, and he is the leader of organizing the treasure banknote case, and he is a relative of the emperor.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't make a big mistake, and that the prince deliberately guided him, Zhang Kejian would probably have worked for the court until his death in this lifetime.

He really needs credit to atone for his crimes.

Zhu Zhangui ignored him, checked a few more corpses, and only after finding the mark of the white lotus did he stand up and walk towards the captives.

There were more than 30 captives, all of whom were skinny and dressed in rags. At first glance, they were caused by long-term hunger and malnutrition.

These people saw Zhu Zhangui in luxurious clothes, coupled with the titles of the second generations just now, they understood that this is His Royal Highness the current emperor grandson and the helm of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

Liu Jun, who is an important detainee, was very emotional when he saw Zhu Zhangui. He refused to listen to the struggle and roar, and wanted to fight Zhu Zhangui desperately.

"Give me a fucking kneel!"

Seeing that this guy was dishonest, the second generations would not be polite, and when they swung the scabbard, they twitched violently.

Liu Jun, who was severely beaten, ignored the beatings of the second generation, gritted his teeth and roared, and crawled towards Zhu Zhangui bit by bit with his hands that were still intact.

"stop!"

Zhu Zhangui raised his hand to stop the beating of the second generations, and looked at Liu Jun who was pushed to the ground by the guards.

"I'm curious, what exactly did the local government do to make you resent the court so much."

"Ha ha!"

Liu Jun sneered, staring at Zhu Zhangui with blood red eyes.

"It's not the imperial court that I hate, but you!"

Now Zhu Zhangui was even more puzzled.

He didn't know the person in front of him, and he didn't seem to have any enmity with this person. In the entire Shandong Province, the only ones who had a big hatred against him were the Kong family and those grain merchant families.

But the North Kong family is already dead, and the people of the South Kong family want to inherit the position of Yan Shenggong, not to mention offending the court, it is too late to curry favor.

Besides, the two have never been in touch with each other since they were old and dead. It is impossible for the members of the South Kong family to fall out with the court because of the members of the North Kong family.

In this way, the rest is the family of grain merchants.

Although the imperial court confiscated all these guys' homes during the later liquidation, and all the family members were assigned to Nuer Gandusi.

But after all, for such a big family, someone must be out of town, so it's normal for them not to be caught.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhangui didn't ask Liu Jun again, but asked a question to a guy who was dazzled by hatred, it would be a ghost to get an answer.

After waving his hand, Zhu Zhangui looked around at the rest of the captives and locked his eyes on a middle-aged man.

The reason for choosing middle-aged people, rather than youth and old age.

There are two reasons.

First, although young people are easy-going, they are rebellious and stubborn. They have never experienced beatings from society, and their minds are full of loyalty. It is difficult to change what they believe.

The older ones are no longer afraid of life and death, and coupled with the influence of beliefs in their hearts, it is difficult to ask useful clues.

But middle age is different.

There are middle-aged people, old and young, and any one of them can choke the lifeblood of chess.

Someone brought the middle-aged man out, and Zhu Zhangui sat opposite him, took off the water bottle from his waist, and handed it over.

Such a move made the middle-aged man who was about to grit his teeth and say nothing, and was about to die at any time, stunned for a moment.

"Uncle is thirsty, drink!"

Zhu Zhangui raised the kettle in his hand with a smile.

Hearing this uncle, the middle-aged man glanced at Zhu Zhangui, and the indifference in his eyes faded a little.

"Is it because the life at home is not easy, and you have just embarked on this road?"

The middle-aged man didn't accept it, and Zhu Zhangui didn't say anything. He smiled and put the kettle next to the middle-aged man, and started chatting with him, and even used the honorifics when facing the elders.

Being so kind and kind, coupled with the fact that Zhu Zhangui was about the same age as his son, the middle-aged man's expression relaxed a lot.

After all, the middle-aged man is an ordinary person with no professional training. With a few movements and heart-warming words, Zhu Zhangui opened his heart little by little.

Coupled with Zhu Zhangui's noble status, when facing him as a traitor, not only did he not speak sarcasticly, but he spoke to him in a gentle and gentle manner as if he were an elder. This made the middle-aged man feel respected for the first time .

The middle-aged man sighed and nodded.

"There was a severe drought this year, and my parents starved to death. For the sake of the two children in the family, my family voluntarily sold it to a prostitution house. It has been a long time since I heard from him. I don't know whether it is dead or alive."

As he spoke, tears flowed from the eyes of the Shandong man.

"His Royal Highness, the family can't live on anymore. The little food that my family sells can only keep us three from starving to death."

"But just last month, the chief security officer came down and said that he would collect taxes. He said that the imperial court had levied increased taxes, and they forcibly took away the food from my family."

"My little brat was so angry, he scolded him a few words, and was taken away by them, and he was severely injured for the crime of contempt of the court. If it wasn't for the help of Buddha Mother and the others, my brat would have been lost."

"His Royal Highness, Caomin, to tell you the truth, if there are good days, who would do such a beheading thing, Caomin is really forced to have nowhere to go."

"Although my little boy's life was saved, but because he didn't have money to buy medicine, his body is now stinking with pus. Yesterday, my 12-year-old daughter came to me and asked me to sell her to treat her brother."

"I…"

Speaking of this, the man finally couldn't bear it anymore, covered his head and burst into tears.

There was helplessness in his cries, and resentment towards the court and the injustice of heaven.

He should have had a good family, but because of the taxation of the court and the disaster that came from heaven, it was directly torn apart.

Zhu Zhangui walked forward silently and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Uncle, I'm sorry for you!"

Zhu Zhangui's soft words of comfort and pat on the shoulder made the man seem to have found his backbone, and threw himself on the ground to kowtow to Zhu Zhangui non-stop.

"His Royal Highness, I beg you. The grassroots did this rebellion. Whether the court beheaded or exiled the grassroots, I beg you to be merciful and reach out to save my son and save my daughter, Caomin." I am willing to be an ox or a horse in the next life to repay your kindness."

The man kowtowed vigorously while speaking.

The scalp was knocked on the gravel, cuts were cut, and dark red blood flowed out.

Zhu Zhangui pursed his lips, stepped forward and pulled him up vigorously.

The man's words made Zhu Zhangui feel a little uncomfortable. All these things should have been done by the court, but now a big man from Shandong, who is indomitable in the sky, kneeled down and begged for alms from the court.

This is the incompetence of the court, and it is also the crime of the royal family.

"Don't worry, uncle, I, Zhu Zhangui, will come here this time. I will never return to Beijing unless the Shandong matter is completely resolved. I will do my best to save your son, and your daughter will not be sold. You promise." Pulling up the uncle, Zhu Zhangui led him to the prisoners.

Looking at the faces in front of him, either indifferent, ignored, moved, or touched, Zhu Zhangui said loudly.

"No one is born wanting to rebel, they are all forced to take this path of desperation by various circumstances."

"The family experience that the uncle just said touched me a lot."

"As a member of the royal family, the grandson of the emperor, I feel deeply ashamed. It is our royal family that did not fulfill the rules set by my great-grandfather and take good care of the people of the world."

"All this is the result of our royal family's dereliction of duty and the lack of strict supervision by the imperial court."

"In this regard, after the Shandong matter is resolved, I will return to the court and suggest to the emperor that all civil and military ministers in the entire royal family issue an edict to apologize to the people of the world."

Zhu Zhangui's words moved the expressions of the captives who were originally indifferent.

The majestic grandson, speaking these words in front of them, is naturally not idle and boring, playing with ordinary people like them.

The emperor's grandson's future successor to the Ming Empire has talked to this point, and the resentment towards the imperial court in their hearts has gradually eased a lot. Of course, some people are still indifferent.

They have been brainwashed by the White Lotus Sect. They don't believe anything the court says, and they all think it is a lie that the court deceived them.

Seeing that the expressions of some prisoners had loosened, Zhu Zhangui continued to hit the railway while it was hot.

"I won't say anything here. Justice may be late, but it will never be absent to cover up the incompetence of the imperial court and the inability to protect the people's dereliction of duty."

"You go back here and tell those who have been oppressed, wronged and have grievances to go to Jinan Prefecture."

"Five days later, my great-grandson will set up a court there to avenge your grievances and support you as the masters of your family."

Some prisoners stood up and looked at Zhu Zhangui with a serious expression excitedly.

"After you go back, don't be afraid of the obstruction of those officials and the head of the security. You can hold the Taizu's edict and go to Jinan Mansion in a group."

"Whoever dares to stop you, you will take them down and press them in front of me. I will not ask any reason, and I will directly order them to be beheaded."

"If there are government officials and soldiers who dare to stop you, you can angrily shout at those government soldiers and tell those government soldiers who stop you that the emperor's grandson is waiting in Jinan Mansion. Anyone who dares to stop the people who complain will be dealt with as treason. "

"Don't worry about the officials and soldiers jumping over the wall in a hurry, you can tell them to escort you to Jinan Mansion, but they will not be held accountable if the merits are overdone!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Zhangui waved to the second generations and bowed to the captives.

"Go back, everyone, I will wait for you in Jinan Mansion."

The scene was deadly quiet.

Captives, look at me and I look at you, it is unbelievable that Zhu Zhangui let them go like this.

They are members of the White Lotus Sect, but they are rebels who want to rebel, and they are the number one target of the imperial court.It's fine if the emperor doesn't kill them, but he still wants to let them go. Isn't he afraid that they will never come back, or continue to join the White Lotus Sect to make trouble.

"You really let us go!"

The man standing beside Zhu Zhangui looked at Zhu Zhangui with some hesitation.

Zhu Zhangui smiled and nodded at him.

"Although I, Zhu Zhangui, am not a gentleman, I am not a villain either. One spit and one bite can still be guaranteed."

As he spoke, he took out two small bottles from his arms and handed them to the man.

"This is the medicine for your son's wounds. The granule is taken orally one a day, and the powder is sprinkled on the wound to bandage it."

Hu Yu on the side added, fearing that the man would not know the effect of the medicine.

"Uncle, don't underestimate these two bottles of medicine. At the capital's side, these two bottles of medicine are worth a thousand taels each, and they are priceless. They are excellent medicines for treating swelling and knife wounds. In Ming Dynasty, there were so few soldiers who died of injuries in the past two years, it was all thanks to these two treasures."

"As long as your son is alive, he will definitely be alive and kicking within half a month."

"This…"

Hearing Hu Yu's introduction, the man's heart trembled.

Such a valuable thing, the emperor's grandson didn't even bat an eyelid, and gave him this traitor who was against the court an hour ago.

More than 2000 taels of silver, the eight generations of his ancestors combined could not earn so much money.

For such a great kindness, I am afraid that even if he risked his life, it would not be enough to repay.

The man wanted to refuse, but he thought about his dying son with a swollen wound at home. The man couldn't let go of the two bottles no matter what.

With tears of excitement in his eyes, the man looked at Zhu Zhangui who was smiling at him.

Is this really the lofty grandson of the emperor? He is so kind and loves the people like a son. If he becomes the emperor in the future, the people of the world will be blessed.

The illiterate man didn't know what words to use to thank him, so he could only kneel on the ground and kowtow non-stop.

Zhu Zhangui pulled up the kneeling man again, and said earnestly.

"Uncle, this is a strong medicine. Some people can't bear it physically, and there will be unknown dangers. You should think carefully before using it."

The man felt nervous for a moment, and asked quickly.

"Dare to ask Your Highness how much risk it is!"

"One in ten thousand, one in 1 people may not be able to take this medicine. Of course, it may be one in ten thousand. It's impossible to say!"

The man's nervous heart relaxed.

"In this way, the grassroots can rest assured. If my son can't carry it, it can only be blamed for his bad life. He can't enjoy this blessing. It's God who wants to take him away."

"Uncle, don't say that. I think that your heavenly court is full, which is a sign of great blessing. Presumably my brother will not be so unlucky." Zhu Zhangui praised with a smile, and bowed his hands to the man and the prisoners.

"Everyone, it's getting late, see you in Jinan."

The man didn't speak, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

The captives, who saw this scene in their eyes the whole time, hesitated for a moment, followed the man to kneel on the ground, and bowed to Zhu Zhangui.

Zhu Zhangui walked sideways, avoided the ceremony, and then smiled and asked the prisoners to get up and go back quickly.

The captives left, leaving behind those unlucky believers who died, and Liu Jun who was not questioned the whole time.

"Nephew, you let them go like this. They are rebels. Don't you take them too easy?"

Zhang Kejian, who witnessed the whole process from the sidelines, saw that the prisoner he had captured was released by his nephew after a few words, and felt unwilling for a while.

This is all his credit. If he let go, there will be no proof in the future, so how can he show his credit to the emperor.

Zhu Zhangui ignored the uncle, winking at Hu Yu.

Hu Yu nodded slightly, took off some clothes from the corpse beside him, changed them quickly, and disappeared into the grass next to the railway track with a few guards, heading towards the direction where the captives left.

After Hu Yu and the others left, Zhu Zhangui said to a guard again: "The emperor said that within 5 days, all officials above the county level in Shandong will be on standby in Jinan Prefecture. No matter who arrives late, They will all be dismissed and investigated on the spot!"

"The garrison generals of the county towns all over the country have stepped up their guards since they received the order. If there is any trouble, immediately close the city gates. If the White Lotus Sect breaks through the city and loses the city and land, they will be killed without mercy!"

After giving the order, Zhu Zhangui pulled a horse in the hands of a second generation, turned on the horse beautifully, and headed for Jinan Mansion with a tall drink.Only Zhang Kejian, who he ignored throughout the whole process, and a group of second-generation people were left in place.

"Brother Zhang, what shall we do?"

The second generation who lost their horses looked at Liu Jun who was gagged next to him, then at the corpses all over the ground, and looked at Zhang Kejian with a mournful face.

Zhang Kejian also looked depressed.

"What else can I do? Bury the body and bring this bastard back to Jinan Mansion!"

He was still a little annoyed as he spoke, and kicked Liu Jun a few times.

On the other side, the released captives quickly shuttled through the desolate fields.

One of the men was covering his chest with his hand and tightly protecting something?
"Stop!"

When Zhu Zhangui was speaking at an intersection, a leading man who had no expression on his face raised his hand to make everyone stop.

The captives stood quietly at the intersection, silently watching the speaker.

The man who made the sound turned to look at the dozens of brothers behind him, and focused on the middle-aged man covering his clothes.

The middle-aged man ignored him and just looked aside silently.

"What do you think?"

Looking around at everyone, the man who spoke asked everyone what they thought.

What was obtained was soundless silence.

"Ugh!"

The man who spoke sighed and waved his hands to everyone.

"Let's all go back to our homes first. I'll go to the Buddha's mother first, tell her what happened today, and ask her about her plans."

The group of captives dispersed from the intersection and went in different directions.

It's just that the leading man called out to the middle-aged man who had medicine in his arms.

After the others left with complicated expressions, the leading man said to the wary middle-aged man.

"Old hoe, the Buddha's mother was also injured today, you should have seen it."

The middle-aged man named Old Hoe took a few steps back while clutching the medicine in his arms.

"What do you want? This is my son's life-saving medicine."

The leading man stepped forward slowly, "Can your son compare with the Buddha's mother? The Buddha's mother is the reincarnation of a god, and she is a great existence who leads everyone to stand up and be the master. Your son is just an ordinary person and is of no use to this world. He has become like that, you really think this little medicine can save him."

"Be obedient...give me the medicine. As long as the Buddha's mother recovers from her injuries, I will beg her to let her do it herself and heal your son with magic power."

The middle-aged man snorted coldly, turned around and was about to run.

"We all know where your home is. You still have a daughter, don't you want her to have an accident!"

Seeing the old hoe about to run away, the leading man didn't chase after him, but threatened with a sneer.

The old hoe, who was about to run, trembled violently when he heard the threat, and glared at the leading man viciously.

In the end, with a cold and heartless look in his eyes, he let out an angry growl, took out the medicine in his bosom and threw it, turned around and ran towards the man.

The man sneered, shook the two medicine bottles in his hand, turned around and went to other places.

In a piece of wild grass in the distance, Hu Yu squinted at the scattered team and the scene just now, pondered for a while, and whispered to the people around him.

"Lao Yang and I are going to talk to that guy, and you follow other people to find out about the situation." Tapping on the walkie-talkie Hu Yu hidden in his arms, he quickly said: "If you have any information, report it immediately. Go back to Jinan Mansion and report to His Highness."

Then he took out two bottles from his arms and handed them to one of the guards.

"Your Highness said that he wanted to save his son's life. Now that his mission has been completed, his son's life must be saved. You can catch up with him later, go to his house with him, and treat his son yourself. Nothing can come out of his mouth."

Several people quickly dispersed and followed different people.

Hu Yu and Lao Yang followed closely all the way, and came to a mountainous area at dawn, and found signs of human activities.

The leader who grabbed the medicine last night said a few words to the shopkeeper of a tea shed, and after the other party searched, he walked down a small village in the mountains.

And all of this was seen by Hu Yu Lao Yang who followed behind.

After finding the base camp suspected to be the White Lotus Sect, the two looked at each other with a slight smile, and slowly retreated to a hidden place.
