My Pen Pal Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 152 The irrefutable evidence
One is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the other is the current Fourth Prince. The former's name is known to everyone. The case of Hu Weiyong made the people of the world see how powerful and terrifying this commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was!
The fourth prince Zhu Di had an even more noble status. No one had expected that two people with such special statuses would be hiding in the imperial envoy's appeasement patrol team.

The two young thugs who had just started the commotion wanted to run away when they saw that something was wrong, but were stopped by Zhu Di.

"Why? Weren't you two the ones shouting the loudest just now? Now that Liu San and I are here, why are you leaving again?"

Looking at the majestic Zhu Di and the murderous musketeers behind him, the two young thugs were so scared that they kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me. Someone ordered us to do this. We are willing to report it. We are willing to report it!"

"Commander Mao, these two people openly slandered the current prince and the commander of the Jinyiwei. I think we should let them go to the Jinyiwei prison to report them. What do you think?"

Mao Xiang laughed loudly and said, "Your Highness, this is a very wise move. No matter who it is, once they are imprisoned by our imperial court, they will tell the truth!"

Suddenly, the two men smelled a strong odor of urine. It turned out that the gangsters were scared to pee. Zhu Di had a look of disgust on his face, waved his hand, and asked the musketeers to take them away.

Zhao Jin's face was dejected, and the look he gave Mao Xiang and Zhu Di was full of fear.

Although he was a remnant of Zhang Shicheng, he was very happy to use Zhang Shicheng's remaining power and the brutal Japanese pirates to fight against dissidents and expand his family's strength.

But he did not have the determination and courage to die for Zhang Shicheng.

Although Sun Ying's face was filled with fear, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse for him. Although he had long expected that the purpose of Li Min, the imperial envoy, visiting Shaoxing was not simple, he also heard Zheng Zefu's hidden meaning on the day of the gift delivery.

Zheng Zefu, this stubborn guy, has always been at odds with me and has been secretly investigating me. If the local Jinyiwei were not under my control, I would not be able to control him.

Zheng Zefu had been controlled that day, and all possibilities had been taken into consideration, but no one had expected that Mao Xiang and Zhu Di would disguise themselves and lurk in the team.

But what does it matter? Although the current situation is not favorable to him, his relationship with the Japanese pirates is extremely secretive. Even Zheng Zefu, who has been secretly investigating for so many years, can only have suspicions and has not obtained any substantial evidence.

Not to mention Mao Xiang and Zhu Di, who only stayed in Shaoxing Prefecture for a few days.

Right now, Zhao Jin only came to seek justice for Zhang Wenzhong's widow, and he himself came to rescue the imperial envoy. Everything is still under control!

But when he heard the news that Zhang Wenzhong was still alive, he was a little confused for a moment. Then he learned the true identities of "Liu San" and "Li Si", and his heart was even more shocked. His legs knelt down unconsciously, which was really embarrassing.

But this is just an opportunity to back off. As for Zhang Wenzhong, he is just a chess piece that can be discarded at any time. There is no need to be afraid of him!
Sun Ying followed his thoughts and began to kneel down and kowtow.

"Your Highness, Commander Mao, you have kept this from me for a long time. I did not know your true identities and have been negligent in the past few days. I apologize to you two!"

When Zhao Jin saw Sun Ying start to kowtow, he immediately understood his intention and began to learn from him.

No one has fallen out with each other yet, and they don't have any actual evidence. As long as they act well, there will be nothing to fear from the prince and the commander of the Imperial Guard.

Moreover, once he and Sun Ying knelt and kowtowed, all the people present would be intimidated by the prince's majesty and would kowtow together.

But can you, Zhu Di and Mao Xiang, accept such a great gift with peace of mind?

In today's world, only the emperor is qualified to accept the kowtow of the people. If Zhu Di and Mao Xiang accept it, they would be overstepping the boundaries; if they refuse, they would be looking down on the people of Shaoxing Prefecture!

Sure enough, when Sun Ying and Zhao Jin knelt down together, the people knelt down one after another.

Li Min watched all this coldly and sneered in his heart. How could he not know what Sun Ying and Zhao Jin were up to? These two were about to die, yet they were still making a last-ditch struggle?

He just didn't know how the Fourth Prince and Commander Mao would deal with it. Then, he was surprised to see that Zhu Di actually knelt down with the people.

Mao Xiang kowtowed with a pious look on his face, but the two of them were bowing in the direction of Yingtian Prefecture, muttering something.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Wow, this move was really brilliant. Even Li Min himself had to kneel down and salute, shouting loudly, "Long live the emperor."

Sun Ying and Zhao Jin's expressions suddenly turned extremely ugly.

Li Min saw the expressions of the two people and took the opportunity to say, "Fellow villagers, don't you want to know what happened to Zhang Wenzhong's wife? I can tell you now that she is in this mansion!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar among the people. They did not expect that the imperial envoy would admit it himself. Could it be that Zhang Wenzhong's widow was really harmed by the prince and the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

However, what Li Min said next surprised everyone.

"In addition to Zhang, even Zhang Wenzhong himself is in this mansion. Come on, bring the criminals Zhang and his wife up here!"

"Yes, my lord!"

The people were stunned. What was going on?

Is Zhang Wenzhong really still alive? Why are they saying that he and his wife are prisoners?
Sun Ying and Zhao Jin immediately felt something was wrong. They didn’t expect that Zhang Wenzhong was actually discovered and arrested?

After a while, Zhang Wenzhong and his wife were brought in front of the crowd. Their faces were filled with fear and they lowered their heads, not daring to look at anyone.

When the people saw the Zhang couple, they became agitated again.

"My fellow countrymen, this time, His Majesty has appointed me as the Imperial Envoy for Peace. In addition to pacifying the people, I am also responsible for investigating the Japanese rebellion!"

Li Min said loudly: "According to investigation, there are people in Shaoxing Prefecture who are colluding with the Japanese pirates. If we don't find them out and punish them severely, how can we comfort the dead people and how can you live in peace in the future?"

"What? Someone here is colluding with the Japanese pirates?"

"How is it possible that someone would do such a thing that is beyond the pale?"

"Since the Imperial Envoy said it himself, it certainly can't be false!"

"Could it be that the person who colluded with the Japanese pirates was Zhang Wenzhong and Zhang Suozheng?"

Li Min said: "As for the truth, let Zhang Wenzhong tell it himself."

When Zhang Wenzhong heard this, he immediately raised his head. He knew in his heart that this was his only chance.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, the Commander, and the Imperial Envoy, I will tell you everything!"

He stared at Zhao Jin intently and shouted, "It's all Zhao Jin's fault. He was the one who ordered it. He colluded with the Japanese pirates. Not only did he kill the people, he also killed my colleagues in the Ministry of Works. It's all his fault!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people were in an uproar. Seeing this, Sun Ying hurried forward and slapped Zhang Wenzhong hard in the face, leaving him speechless.

"You bold traitor, you must have colluded with the Japanese pirates to kill the people and your colleagues. Now that you are about to die, you still dare to slander others?"

Sun Ying said: "Sir Li, this thief is too despicable. According to the law, he should be put in jail and tortured severely. I don't believe he won't tell the truth!"

Zhao Jin took the opportunity to say, "Yes, yes, Zhang Wenzhong is really shameless. His colleagues were all killed by the Japanese pirates, and he is the only one alive. He must be colluding with the Japanese pirates. Now he is trying to slander me. Please, gentlemen, clear my name!"

"Master Sun, why are you so anxious? Why don't you let Zhang Suozheng finish what he is saying? Are you hiding something?"

Li Min's words made Sun Ying's face change immediately, "Sir Li, even though you are an imperial envoy, you still have to provide evidence when you speak!"

"Master Sun, do you want evidence? That's right, I have it!"

Zhu Di gave the order: "Bring the things up and lay them out!"

After receiving the order, the musketeers began to get busy. Sun Ying and Zhao Jin looked at everything in front of them in horror, but they had no idea what these government troops were doing.

Only Li Min saw this scene and couldn't help but gasp. His Majesty was so generous that he even sent a projector!
