Chapter 434
In the other yard, Zhu Di felt that the weather was very stuffy, and he was afraid that Zhang Tianshou would run away, so he simply went to check it quietly by himself.

Before leaving Beijing this time, the eldest brother told him the importance of this matter, and only by catching these criminals who invaded the fields can there be a reason to abolish the privilege of immunity.

Afterwards, he immediately arranged for the guards that Zhu Biao had given him, hoping that they would guard the criminals and generals well.

When Zhu Di yawned and returned to his room, he saw several people sneaking away.Doubts arose in his heart, and his intuition told him not to be careless.

It happened that Han Yike was not asleep, so Zhu Di called Han Yike to go with him.

Han Yike immediately followed Zhu Di.

"It's so late, I have to go and have a look." Zhu Di put the dagger in his waist, and said a few words to Han Yike: "Let's go."

"Ah."

The two brought a few guards and saw a few people entering the boat on the pier.

"Is it gunpowder and small mines?" Han Yike asked in a low voice.

Zhu Di didn't speak, but the expression in his eyes already answered, he had seen these things in the navy.

Lowering his voice, he said, "All four of them will be captured alive, and brought back to the third brother to deal with."

"Yes."

After receiving the order, several guards dressed as brocade guards boarded the boat immediately.

These guards were arranged by Zhu Biao to take them personally, but when they returned to Beijing halfway, they were asked to pretend to be ordinary guards to protect Han Yike and the others.

Han Yike was a little worried.

But Zhu Di knew that the guards of the palace could knock down a few minions, and he was not worried about any escape.

Soon, several gangsters were bundled into twists and thrown onto the pier. Zhu Di and Han Yike went up to have a look, no more, no less, the four of them worked together.

Those few people were tied up and couldn't move, and they were whining.

"His Royal Highness King Zhou, these four people actually put gunpowder on the bottom of the boat, trying to blow it up." The guard put the small water mine gently, and the gunpowder had already entered the water.

……

Zhu Yan looked at the two women who were sent to serve him tonight, and his heart was full of joy. Before one foot was on the couch, he was startled by the sound of thumping outside the door: "Who! It's a good thing to ruin the king."

"Third brother, it's me." Zhu Di patted the door vigorously: "Third brother."

Zhu Bian walked towards the door dissatisfied: "What's wrong with you, fourth."

Zhu Di waved his hand, and the guards and Han Yike escorted the four minions up: "Third brother, these people put gunpowder on the boat with ulterior motives."

"His Royal Highness King Jin, I found out that these people are from Jingzhou Mansion, but I just asked them, but they didn't say anything."

Zhu Yan thought that there were ten thousand grass horses running by at this moment, but he still said with a smile: "Come here, take these people down for interrogation."

Seeing several people being escorted away, Zhu Min pointed and said, "It must be Zhang Tianshou's subordinates who took revenge on us."

Han Yike also nodded. These people are all from Jingzhou Mansion. It is not impossible for King Jin to deduce this.

Everything just waits for the interrogation.

"Fourth, envoy Han Qin, you two should go down and rest too." Zhu Yan said.

Zhu Di was also very sleepy, so he left directly to sleep, and Han Yike followed him out of the compound.

"What should I do, my lord?" asked the follower who escorted the four people away.

"Old Taoist, let them die in the prison tonight." Zhu Yan finished speaking and entered the room.

These four people were ordered by Zhu to blow up the ship with gunpowder and mines. If they survived, it would be Zhu who was exposed.

When he woke up the next day, Zhu Yan pretended to follow Zhu Di to investigate the four prisoners, who knew that the prisoners had already taken poison and died in the prison.

Zhu Yan was very angry: "Such an important criminal died, this king wants to punish you."

The jailer in Jingzhou Mansion's prison was so frightened that his legs trembled and he kowtowed desperately: "My lord, my lord, please spare me."

"The little ones don't know how the criminals died. In just one meal, they..."

"My lord, these four people are related to the general who was arrested. Maybe they can't take revenge, so they took poison and committed suicide to show their loyalty."

"It must be. They want to stand up for those generals, or to rescue them."

Han Yike shook his head inwardly. If these four people blew up the ship for the three captured generals, why didn't they save them, but wanted to blow up the ship instead.

Obviously that ship was prepared for him, King Zhou and three generals who were going to escort back to Beijing, this matter was too strange.

Han Yike kept his eyes open and planned to go back and talk to Zhu Biao in detail.

After this incident happened, Zhu Di put the three generals under strict guard.The prisoner's boat went down the Yangtze River to the capital.

On Zhu Biao's side, the matter about the loss of the mine and the Dragon King Cannon was found in the suburbs of the city and disappeared.

In the following days, in addition to taking Ryukyu Zhongshan King to see the National Academy of Scholars, he also went to see the factory of the Weaving Bureau.

"Da Ming is really talented." Ryukyu Zhongshan King's eyes have been protruding since he entered the National Academy of Sciences, and his mouth has never closed.

As for the quality of the shocker, he firmly controlled it.

Zhu Biao didn't say anything either. Tang Shengzong and Feng Sheng were going with Ryukyu Zhongshan King this time.

After the unification of Shannan Kingdom and Shanbei Kingdom, Ryukyu will have only one King of Zhongshan, Zhu Shang.

Ryukyu is very close to Wajima, Zhu Biao does not do bad things, he is not a good person.Now that Ming's arms and soldiers are used to help unify Ryukyu.

The one who benefited the most was his Ryukyu Zhongshan King Zhu Shang, so Zhu Biao also made a big request to Zhu Shang.

One, to monitor Wa Island for the Ming Dynasty, and urge the captives to open silver mines, mine, and stone on Wa Island...

Second, Ryukyu must have the navy of the Ming Dynasty stationed there to open up a new trade base for the Maritime Affairs Bureau.

The next two days will be about mines and gravel fields in various places in the north, and the prisoners who have built straight roads in Yunnan and Guizhou will be sent to various places in the north to mine iron ore.

The National Academy of Scholars proposed to study new materials, and Zhu Biao designated a piece of land on Wa Island for them to use for harmful experiments.

Although it was a bit far away, the imperial court built a residence for them and selected a group of talents to transport them there.

They also recruited a lot of ruffians from the north and south of Ming Dynasty to guard the mines in various places to prevent the captives from gathering together.

"Father, the construction of the old course of the Yellow River has made great progress, so very good." Zhu Biao handed the memorial to Emperor Zhu.

The servant came in quickly: "Tang Ding asks to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Let him in." Zhu Biao continued talking to Lao Zhu.Emperor Zhu took the memorial and read it carefully, and said happily, "That's right, some water conservancy projects should be built along the Yangtze River at that time."

"Tang Ding has met the prince, Your Majesty." Tang Ding said with a pale face, "Fill out the mine that was lost before on the river."

"Have you found the water mine?" Emperor Zhu asked, having heard about it before.

"I found it, but the mine will not explode again. The fishermen salvaged it." Tang Ding replied truthfully.

"Where's the Dragon King Cannon?" Zhu Biao was most concerned about the Dragon King Cannon.

Tang Ding stammered for a while: "The Dragon King Cannon blew up the fishing boats by the river, killing eight people, plus two children who were fishing by the river."

Emperor Zhu lost his expression, clenched his fists and said, "Let's find out who stole the firearms from the firearms camp, let the Ministry of Punishments handle it."

How could Dragon King guns and sea mines be thrown into the river? Since the Ryukyu king came, there was very little rain in the Yangtze River area, and it was sunny for several days, so the river water dropped a lot.

The Navy's large ships have not performed exercises on the Yangtze River in the past few months.There are only a few fishermen who have obtained qualification certificates from the Ming and Commerce Bureau to go fishing.

Fortunately, there are fewer fishermen, otherwise more people would be killed.

Zhu Biao never thought that he would salvage the lost mines and Dragon King Cannon in the river. This time, innocent fishermen were killed, and Lao Zhu was very angry.

"Biao'er, you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and tell Zheng Shiyuan to go to the Firearms Camp to investigate again." Emperor Zhu's voice was cold.
