Ming Dynasty: Abandoned baby at the beginning, Zhu let me be the emperor

"You're really stubborn!"

Zhu Ming shook his head helplessly. This Wang Mazi is still a man.

"His Royal Highness is asking you a question!"

Chen Ling was slashed by Wang Mazi and was already feeling a little resentful.

Now that Wang Mazi has fallen into the hands of the Jinyiwei, he is still so stubborn and his resentment deepens.

Without waiting for Zhu Ming to say anything, he walked over and kicked Wang Mazi on the shoulder.

Wang Mazi's hands were tied at this time and he was unable to resist and was kicked to the ground.

"Your Highness, hand this man over to me. The Imperial Prison has a way to make him speak."

Erhu also walked up to Zhu Ming and clasped his hands together.

He was still very confident about the Jinyiwei Prison.

"Then it'll be hard work."

Zhu Ming nodded.

He had heard about the methods used by the Jinyiwei in the imperial prison, but as long as Wang Mazi could speak, he didn't care what methods the Jinyiwei used.

"So, what about the others?"

Erhu glanced at Wang Mazi, who was still trying not to speak, then looked at the other bandits and started asking again.

I don’t know whether it is necessary to take the other bandits to the imperial prison.

"Others don't know any news either, so there's no need."

Zhu Ming waved his hand.

The other bandits knew nothing, so there was no need to send them to the imperial prison.

They have been bandits here for such a long time that they have robbed countless people of their silver, killed countless passers-by, and committed many evil deeds.

"The official knows."

After knowing Zhu Ming's meaning, Erhu also nodded, and then made a gesture of wiping his neck to the other Jinyiwei.

Since there is no need to send these people to prison, just execute them on the spot to save manpower.

The other Jinyiwei received the order and they raised their swords and killed the captured bandits one by one.

Seeing his brothers all having their necks cut, Wang Mazi felt even more angry.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I have information!"

Just as the Jinyiwei were about to kill, a panicked voice suddenly rang out, startling Wang Mazi so much that he immediately turned around to look at the man.

"I know where that person was taken."

The man crawled towards Zhu Ming in panic. Even though the Jinyiwei behind him tried their best to grab him, they could not stop his desire to survive.

"explain."

Zhu Ming turned around, looked at the bandit who was shrouded in fear, and spoke in a deep voice.

The mastermind behind this incident must be caught no matter what.

"I can take you there. Please, Your Highness, spare my life."

Although the man was so frightened that he even stuttered when he spoke, he still did not easily reveal the information he knew. Instead, he wanted to get a promise of mercy from Zhu Ming first.

Given Zhu Ming's identity, it is unlikely that he would regret making a promise.

Now, he can only take a gamble.

From then on, Wang Mazi looked at that man with an expression of disappointment.

I didn't expect that my brothers are so useless.

"I promise I won't kill you."

Zhu Ming clapped his hands. It didn’t matter whether to kill such a small character or not.

As long as he can find out who is behind this, his life or death doesn't really matter.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for not killing me."

After getting Zhu Ming's promise, the man immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to thank Zhu Ming for not killing him.

"Master Erhu, there is no time to lose. Please send a few people to go with him and bring the person back."

Zhu Ming no longer paid any attention to the man, turned to look at Erhu, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Yes."

The mastermind behind the kidnapping of the emperor's grandson is of self-evident importance.

Erhu nodded, and then began to select his men, sending out four or five Jinyiwei to go with the bandit.

After clearing out the other bandits, they escorted Zhu Ming to the capital in a mighty manner.

Wang Mazi had his hands tied and was dragged at the back in a miserable state, no longer as glorious as before.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty."

When we reached the foot of the mountain, there were already several sedan chairs waiting there, and even the imperial physician was ready.

These imperial doctors simply treated Chen Ling and the others' injuries, but Chen Ling soon could not hold on any longer and fainted from exhaustion.

Only when he returned to the capital in a sedan chair did Zhu Ming realize how far the tunnel had been dug.

When they arrived at the mountain stronghold, it was just getting dark, and by the time they got back to the capital in a sedan chair, it was already bright.

The round trip was dozens of miles long.

"Your Highness, I'm leaving now."

Once they reached the capital, they would be safe. Erhu led the Jinyiwei and the captured Wang Mazi to pay their respects to Zhu Ming.

After confirming Zhu Ming's safety, it was time for them to report to His Majesty.

As for Chen Ling and the others, they had made great contributions in protecting the emperor's grandson this time, but they were seriously injured and had to go back to recuperate.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I can no longer protect you."

Chen Ling slowly raised her head from the sedan chair, squeezed out a few words with difficulty, and then fell down again.

"Take good care of your injuries."

Zhu Ming chuckled at Chen Ling, sat back in his sedan chair and said nothing more.

After staying in that mountain village for a whole night, I was tense and now I am exhausted.

The entire team split into two groups at this point, one group returned to the Pacification Office to deal with the kidnapping of the emperor's grandson.

Responsible for escorting Zhu Ming back to the palace.

The emperor's grandson's sedan chair was cleared by the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and no one dared to block the way from the city gate to the imperial city.

Everyone who saw it hid to the sides and made way.

Except for one person.

"How is this going?"

Xu Miaojin pulled Mu Ruanjun and looked at such a grand scene, then turned around and asked in confusion.

Xu Yungong lowered his head with a serious expression, and whispered in Xu Miaojin's ear, telling her what he knew.

"what?"

Upon hearing that Zhu Ming was kidnapped, Xu Miaojin's face changed suddenly. Seeing that Mu Ruanjun beside him didn't care, he rushed out and blocked the sedan chair.

The Jinyiwei who were leading the way saw someone dare to stop the emperor's grandson's sedan chair and wanted to scold him.

But when he recognized Xu Yungong standing next to him, he had to endure it again.

The power of the Duke of Wei's Mansion is no joke.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

The Jinyiwei who was leading the way stopped the sedan chair, walked respectfully in front of Xu Miaojin, and asked.

Xu Miaojin did not reply. When she saw Zhu Ming's sedan stopped, she immediately got in.

The Jinyiwei knew that Xu Miaojin had a noble status and did not dare to block her, so they could only let Xu Miaojin rush in.

"how……"

Zhu Ming noticed that the sedan had stopped. Just as he was about to sit up and ask questions, he saw Xu Miaojin rushing in from outside and was stunned for a moment.

Why is this little girl here?

"Is everything okay?"

Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming lying in the sedan chair and couldn't help but ask.

"Not dead yet."

Zhu Ming grinned.

I wasn't really injured, but I was mentally exhausted.
