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

"What is righteousness?"

Zhu Ming stood in front of this man, looking down at the man who was sitting cross-legged.

It was obvious that these people were kidnapping me just for the money they had extorted from the people.

Now he looks like he is ready to die and thinks he is so noble. It's really ridiculous.

When Zhu Ming asked that question, the man was also stunned and looked up at the child who was more than 20 years younger than him.

I didn't expect that this little kid could ask such a question.

He was so dazed that he even forgot to answer Zhu Ming's question.

"No matter who ordered you, you just want to protect the money you stole from the people. Is this a righteous cause?"

Zhu Ming didn't care whether he answered or not. He just looked at him and started asking a series of questions.

"Instigating bandits to kidnap other people's children and grandchildren, causing the children to be in danger and almost die, is this a righteous cause?"

The man couldn't even think of a word to answer Zhu Ming's rapid questioning.

The morality that I firmly believed in at the beginning seemed unable to answer these questions.

Seeing this, Erhu, who was standing by, stepped aside and stood between Zhu Ming and the man.

I still underestimated this grandson whom the emperor valued so much.

With just a few simple words, this man's momentum was completely suppressed.

However, he did not completely let down his guard. He silently placed his hand on the hilt of the Xiuchun Knife to prevent the man from being caught in a desperate situation.

"Do you think we can just take advantage of our money?"

His face turned red, and it took him a long time to squeeze out a word to ask Zhu Ming back.

"How much of your money was plundered from the people? The court has not cut off your livelihood, but has allowed you to earn less."

When Zhu Ming heard this, he just snorted contemptuously.

"If you rise up and want to change the world, I will still look up to you."

"Your Highness..."

Hearing Zhu Ming talking about such a sensitive topic, Erhu quickly reminded him.

"fine."

Zhu Ming just turned around and smiled, then returned to his previous contemptuous look: "You should also know that no one will follow you to rebel."

After Zhu Ming finished speaking, he fell silent, and the man stopped talking.

Of course, he understood what Zhu Ming said.

After a long silence, the man suddenly burst into laughter.

Seeing the man so excited, Erhu became even more nervous, and his hands were already tightly gripping the Embroidered Spring Sword at his waist.

"I didn't expect that I would lose to a little kid today."

The man's smile became more bitter, and finally he lowered his head and looked at Zhu Ming blankly.

I accepted my defeat today with full conviction.

As he spoke, he suddenly clenched his teeth and stopped talking.

"Lord Erhu!"

Zhu Ming realized something was wrong and immediately shouted to Erhu who was standing beside him.

Erhu immediately rushed forward and punched the man hard on the jaw.

The force was so great that the man was knocked flying.

Erhu didn't stop either. He took the opportunity to move over, pinched his mouth open, reached in, and pried his teeth out.

"Want to commit suicide by taking poison?"

Erhu took a look at his broken teeth and sneered.

Seeing that he could not win the argument with Zhu Ming, this man wanted to commit suicide by taking poison.

He had seen this kind of method many times in the imperial prison.

Even without Zhu Ming's reminder, he would be able to react.

However, the performance of His Royal Highness Zhu Ming, the Grandson of the Emperor, really surprised him.

"This is the imperial prison. You have no say over life or death."

Zhu Ming put his hands behind his back and looked at the man coldly.

He had no sympathy for such a person.

"What a crime."

Seeing that he couldn't even commit suicide, the man could only sigh and his smile became more bitter.

He raised his head, clasped his hands together and looked up at the sky, looking as pious as if he was praying.

"A lay disciple?"

Looking at this person's subconscious action, Zhu Ming's expression also changed.

How could an ordinary person be so pious under such circumstances?

Realizing that he was praying out of habit, the man was startled, and then immediately changed his posture.

"Come on, my lord."

Zhu Ming didn't say anything more. He took one last look at Erhu and turned away.

This person probably won't confess for a while, so I won't watch the execution.

"Someone, send His Royal Highness back home."

Erhu nodded, and immediately called a subordinate to send Zhu Ming out of the imperial prison.

Judging from this guy's appearance, he is probably a lay disciple from some temple.

Although this person did not confess, the evidence was just a gesture.

However, it's time to give these guys a beating.

While Zhu Ming was thinking, he had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

"Ming'er, I heard that you went to the Imperial Prison?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had been waiting there without him noticing. When he saw Zhu Ming coming back, he walked up to him with a smile and asked.

"Grandpa Huang, why are you here?"

Zhu Ming was frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang. He rolled his eyes at him and patted his chest in complaint.

If an emperor is not in the Daming Palace to discuss matters, why is he scaring people here?

"Hey, let's take care of our good grandson."

Looking at Zhu Ming's complaining eyes, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"Yes."

Zhu Ming then nodded and admitted that he had just returned from the imperial prison.

"How does it feel?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished laughing, his expression became serious again.

The Imperial Prison can be said to be the darkest place in the entire Ming Dynasty.

He still wanted to know how Zhu Ming felt after seeing these dark places.

"good."

Zhu Ming shrugged and responded casually.

The environment in the imperial prison is indeed a bit bad, and those people must have a lot of secrets hidden in them, most of which are the dark side of human nature.

He had already been mentally prepared.

"Is everything okay?"

Seeing Zhu Ming's casual look, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised.

Having witnessed the darkness of human nature, even Erhu, a veteran, often feels uncomfortable and needs to seek help from others.

I didn’t expect Zhu Ming to be so adaptable.

This child is so scary that even I, a mature person, find him a little scary.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Huang."

In order to reassure Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ming raised his head and grinned innocently again.

"How about we let Grandpa Huang handle this matter?"

Still a little worried, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and touched Zhu Ming's head, then asked tentatively.

This group of people dared to kidnap Zhu Ming, and he was really afraid that Zhu Ming would be in danger again.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Huang, nothing will happen."

Zhu Ming shook his head. This matter was caused by him, so it was his responsibility to solve it himself.

"Besides, didn't Grandpa Huang ask Erhu and the others to cooperate with me?"

In order to reassure Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ming also moved out the Jinyiwei including Erhu.

With the protection of the Jinyiwei, he would not be in any danger anymore.

This incident has already alerted the enemy, and those people should not take any further action.
