"Yes, it's my wish!"

Li Wenzhao was forced to change his words, and Zhu Jingyuan who was watching on the side couldn't bear it because he was too bullying.

Zhu Jinghong then said: "Zheng Xianlin and his gang are urging you to go back and bring in a group of people first. If you can scare the students away, there will be no need to use force!"

"yes!"

Zhu Jinghong slowed down and said calmly: "You don't have to worry, as long as you finish your errands, the prince will not treat you badly!"

"Thank you, Prince Thirteen!"

Zhu Jinghong waved his hand, and Li Wenzhao left with a heavy heart.

Looking at his rickety back, Zhu Jingyuan couldn't help but sigh and said: "Thirteenth brother, I can't bear to be forced like this!"

Zhu Jinghong stretched out his kid and poked his ear. Zhu Jinghong said slowly: "Fourth brother, you should worry about yourself first. You have not forgotten the old man's reprimands two days ago!"

With just one sentence, Zhu Jingyuan was stunned and no longer had the heart to worry about Li Wenzhao.

As a former migrant worker, Zhu Jinghong understood Li Wenzhao's difficulties very well, but now he had no choice but to compensate this person after the incident was completed.

After laughing twice, Zhu Jinghong eased the tense atmosphere. He lowered his voice and asked: "Fourth brother... have you decided which tree to burn?"

To arrest someone for disturbing Taizu's mausoleum, conclusive evidence was needed. In order not to make the matter too big, Zhu Jinghong planned to burn a tree outside the mausoleum.

Even if Zhu Jinghong has the status of a prince, he is not that bold to make noise in the mausoleum.

Picking up the tea cup, Zhu Jingyuan took two sips slowly, and finally whispered: "Just find a tree, preferably a smaller one, so as not to make the matter a big deal!"

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

Putting down the tea cup, Zhu Jingyuan's body trembled a little, and his face turned pale as he said, "Thirteenth brother, this is a treasonous thing, so you have to be careful!"

Apparently he was scared to death before things were done.

Zhu Jinghong stood up, dusted his sleeves and said, "Fourth brother, don't worry, I will handle this matter myself!"

After saying that, Zhu Jinghong didn't stay and turned around to go.

He was both scared and excited at the thought of setting fire outside Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum.

Besides, outside the palace, Zheng Xianlin, along with officials and college professors, were earnestly persuading a group of students.

However, not only did no one leave, but students continued to join, and the number of people increased to two hundred.

"Everyone, please think carefully. It is a serious crime to intimidate the prince..."

"If this affects your student status, you will regret it too much!"

"You are still young, don't be deceived and deceived by others, study hard and learn is the right thing!"

After hearing such words so many times, some students couldn't bear it anymore and began to debate with Zheng Xianlin and others.

Although they are young, they have passed three county government examinations, and their understanding and application of the classics are certainly good.

So many times, the old and the young are all arguing with each other, and for a while no one can defeat the other.

While there was a lot of noise outside the palace, the sound of horse hooves was suddenly heard from the east, accompanied by the sound of neat footsteps.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a large number of Jinyi guards coming from the east. The leader of the team on horseback was a deputy Qianhu.

Behind him, there were roughly 200 school sergeants dressed in black.

These men were armed with wooden sticks and ropes, and their targets were obvious.

People's hearts are made of flesh, and their blood may surge up for a while, but when they really see danger approaching, most people will still feel scared.

Especially today's matter itself has no interest in them. If they try to get their future involved in this matter, normal people will retreat.

"Everyone, Your Highness the Crown Prince has been deceived by a traitor. Although we are just scholars, we have been taught by saints about loyalty and filial piety, so we should..."

Sensing that some people would back down, the leaders began to brainwash the people around them, calling on the students that today is the time to apply what they have learned and help the community.

Anyone who shrinks back at this time is a coward, unworthy of being a disciple of a saint, and unworthy of being a conscientious scholar of heaven and earth.

"Hurry up, kids... If you delay any longer, your future will be lost!"

Academician Zhou Yan tried to persuade him one by one, but everyone at the scene was "kidnapped" and did not want to be the first coward to leave and be cast aside by his classmates.

So a large number of people live in fear and unwillingness, while thinking about how to escape in a while.

In fact, most people have an account in their minds after they were very excited at the beginning and now it’s time to calm down.

"Zhao Xilin, your old mother makes a living by farming and sewing. She worked hard to raise you and go to school. Why don't you think about your relatives?"

"Come on, come back with me now!" Zhou Yan dragged one of them away.

He also came from his student days and knew very well the thoughts of everyone present. As long as he dragged one person away, it would be easy to persuade others later.

If it doesn't work, then continue dragging others down, and save every one you can.

Zhou Yan is indeed a good person, and Zheng Xianlin and others saw a way, so they also started to drag him.

The few people who were dragged were happy at the moment. If they could be forced to be dragged away, they would not die in society.

"Hold them, we will never leave!"

"Yes...hold them!"

Well, after someone shouted, he immediately set an example, forcing others to follow suit.

Zhao Xilin, whose buttocks were already off the ground, was pulled back again, making him want to cry without tears.

Zheng Xianlin only had seven or eight people. Facing an army of nearly two hundred people, they really had no choice now.

"Wealth cannot be lascivious, poverty cannot be removed, power cannot be surrendered..."

"Life is what I want; righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both. Those who sacrifice life for righteousness..."

As someone begins to recite, more and more people begin to recite, eventually converging into one voice again.

Perhaps influenced by the atmosphere, the students who were a little scared at first became excited again... and their fear was suppressed again.

"It's hopeless, it's hopeless!" Looking at the students in front of them, Zhou Yan and several professors felt heartbroken.

Zheng Xianlin also shook his head. Smoke was almost coming out of his throat, and he chose to give up at this moment.

Just listen to him sigh: "Oh...it's their fault for being young, and it's even more to blame for the people behind the scenes!"

"Master Zheng, who is causing trouble behind his back?" Zhou Yan asked angrily.

Zheng Xianlin looked gloomy and said: "Everyone who has not arrived today is a possibility!"

Zheng Xianlin had a rough guess as to who was behind the instigation, but he couldn't say it clearly without evidence.

At this moment, the mastermind behind the scenes was sitting in the lobby of the Prosecutor's Office, listening to He Gujin's trial of the case.

Evidence was presented one after another, and the debate between the two sides gradually became more intense. Although Hu Jinan was familiar with criminal law, he was sweating profusely at this moment.

He also knew that He Gujin wanted to kill the case, and his own defense alone was useless.

"Hu Jin'an, all the witnesses and physical evidence are there, what else do you have to say?" He Gujin was shocked.

He just wanted to close the case quickly, so there was a hint of urging in his words.

Hu Jinan didn't answer at all, but looked at Qian Ruiming and Liu Deyan, waiting for their timely rescue.

He knew very well that if his case really became a solid case, Qian and Liu would not get any good results.

"Master He, I have something to say in my humble position!" Liu Deyan finally spoke.

"We'll talk later!" He Gujin replied coldly.

Qian Ruiming immediately answered: "Master He, since we are jurors, we have the power of supervision. Am I still speechless?"

"Master Zhao, there is no such reason, right? You have to be fair!"
