When the sky got brighter, Zhu Ming led the villagers to the houses of the landlords.
"Your Highness, can we make it this time?"
Perhaps because of the experience of being suppressed several times before, even though Zhu Ming was in the lead, the people still asked worriedly from behind.
"Don't worry, it will definitely work."
Zhu Ming nodded affirmatively. The artillery had been mobilized. How could it still be justified?
"Gun in hand, follow me!"
As if feeling that the momentum was not enough, Zhu Ming led the team and took the lead in shouting.
"Gun in hand, follow me."
When the people behind him saw this, they also shouted to build up momentum for themselves.
"Now, I will give you another chance to hand over the land, and the court will compensate you for your losses."
With the villagers lined up in front of the house, Zhu Ming shouted again at the top of his lungs.
It's just that after the words fell for a long time, there was no response from the house.
This strange silence filled the hearts of the people with doubts, and they began to whisper.
They have never seen this situation before.
"I'd like to help you guys, shoot at the door of this house."
Zhu Ming walked up to the transferred soldiers, pointed at the door of the mansion, and motioned for them to fire.
"As commanded."
The soldiers responded in unison. Without saying a word, they loaded the ammunition, took aim, and lit the fire, all in one smooth motion.
Liu Jin ran over quickly and took Zhu Ming aside.
There was a bang, an earth-shattering cannon blast.
The solid wooden door of the house was opened with a big hole by the artillery bombardment.
"Folks, follow me."
Seeing that the door of the house was blasted open, Zhu Ming waved his hand and rushed forward with the villagers.
Not to mention encountering resistance along the way, not even a single person was seen.
When they rushed into the house, the smell of artillery smoke had not dissipated, and the house was already empty.
It seems that he ran away overnight last night.
After all, Zhu Ming's look full of murderous intent didn't seem like he was joking.
Compared with these places, one's own life is more important.
"Go find the title deed!"
The plan was successful, but Zhu Ming still ordered the villagers to find the land deed first.
Only by obtaining the land title, these people have no reason to overturn.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, look at this?"
Liu Jin rummaged around inside and ran out with a panicked look on his face holding several booklets.
"This is a ledger?"
Zhu Ming took these books and flipped through a few chapters. He immediately closed them nervously and looked around cautiously.
Seeing that the villagers' attention was no longer on him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Recorded in this account book is the list of adults in the court who have dealings with them.
If this thing fell into the hands of others, it would probably lead to a bloody storm.
What Zhu Yuanzhang hated most was officials accepting bribes.
"Thank you for your help."
After putting the account books away, Zhu Ming walked up to the soldiers and saluted them.
"What are you talking about, Your Highness?"
The soldiers also respectfully returned Zhu Ming's gift: "We can't leave the military camp for too long, so we'll say goodbye."
Now that things here are over, it's time for them to go back and resume their lives.
Zhu Ming didn't stay with them any longer. He had more important things to do at the moment.
"Let's go back to the palace."
Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Liu Jin and Jin Yiwei behind him, and spoke in a deep voice.
"Grandpa Huang, the emperor and his grandson thought that those adults were disobeying the king's orders, but their starting point was good."
In the Daming Palace, Zhu Yunwen knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, frowning, and begged Zhu Yuanzhang for the officials.
"Yunwen, you are still too naive."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen with some distress and shook his head helplessly.
Why are those people thinking about Ming Dynasty? Isn't it just for the money that is put into their pockets?
There are so many things here, don't think that he is still so naive after being the emperor for so long.
If there was no evidence that they had received money, they would have been convicted long ago.
That is to say, Zhu Yunwen was young and naive, so he was fooled like this.
At first glance, it was these people who saw Fang Xiaoru and Xu Da standing up to object. They were afraid that the matter would not be hidden, so they approached Zhu Yunwen.
"Grandpa Huang!"
Zhu Yunwen wanted to say something else, but a childish voice came from outside the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen quickly raised their heads and looked in the direction of the door.
Zhu Ming took Liu Jin with him, his clothes were a little disheveled from running, and he stood there panting.
"My dear grandson, why are you so anxious?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ran over distressed, picked up Zhu Ming, and personally packed his clothes carefully.
Zhu Yunwen, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at this scene with even more sourness. He had never had his clothes tidied by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
"My dear grandson, you haven't eaten yet. Eat something first."
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Yunwen who was kneeling on the ground, picked up a piece of pastry, and fed it to Zhu Ming's mouth.
After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Ming felt a little hungry and ate the pastry in a few mouthfuls.
"How's it going? Did you encounter any difficulty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang then began to ask about Zhu Ming's handling of the riot.
Seeing that my grandson is so anxious, could it be that he has encountered something that cannot be handled well?
"It will all be solved tomorrow."
Zhu Ming shook his head. In front of those account books, this commotion was a trivial matter.
"What is it that makes our good grandson run away like this?"
Seeing Zhu Ming shaking his head, Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts became more intense.
"My grandson found a ledger in those people's house."
Zhu Ming took a deep breath and told everything that happened.
"Rebellion against them?"
When he heard about the account book, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately turned cold.
What he hates most in his life is corrupt officials.
"Grandpa Huang, Yun Wen thinks there is some difficulty in this."
Zhu Yunwen listened, but vaguely felt that he was somewhat involved with his mother-in-law, and immediately started to persuade her.
"Difficulties? What difficulties?"
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and snorted coldly.
As long as you are greedy, you will die.
Zhu Yunwen wanted to say something else, but when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry, he could only shrink back in fear.
"My dear grandson, where is the account book? Grandpa Huang wants to know who the bad guys are."
After scolding Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Zhu Minghe about the whereabouts of the ledger in a relatively gentle tone.
"When I find the account book tomorrow, it will have been burned."
Zhu Ming shook his head and did not take out the account books. He just excused himself by being burned.
"That's it. Are there any other clues tomorrow?"
Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at Zhu Ming with some reluctance, and asked again.
