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

Looking at the bandit leaders who remained silent and didn't say a word, the big boss nodded, and he probably knew what they meant.

After listening to the argument between Ding Sheng and Wang Weiheng, they could not find any way to refute Wang Weiheng.

But they were all bandit leaders, and they refused to utter the words of surrender, so they were so quiet.

"If you don't want to be the bad guy, I will be."

He stood up, glanced at the people around him, and spoke in a deep voice.

Hearing the boss' words, all the bandit leaders looked up in shock and looked at the boss.

"Didn't everyone come together to survive?"

The eldest boss ignored the looks of these people and continued to talk to himself: "If we can live a good life by relying on that so-and-so grandson of the emperor, there is no reason to insist on fighting for a mountain stronghold, which will only harm everyone."

After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but let out a bitter smile: "I have decided to go down the mountain and seek refuge."

At this point in Qingfeng Village, someone has to be the leader of the bad guys.

If I can make everyone live a stable life with enough food to eat, then what I did as a bad guy is worth it.

"The boss."

Wang Weiheng looked at the boss with emotion. He did not expect that the boss would choose to support him.

"Mr. Wang, you are a great talent. We, the unsophisticated ones, admire you."

The boss also looked at Wang Weiheng and bowed deeply.

He has now entrusted the fate of the hundreds of people in Qingfeng Village to Wang Weiheng.

Even though Ding Sheng was still not convinced in his heart, since the boss had spoken, he could only remain silent.

"Brother Ding, I know your concerns."

Wang Weiheng turned his head and looked at Ding Sheng who looked indignant. He said in a deep voice: "How about this, the leaders take the people to stay in Qingfeng Village, or I will take the brothers down the mountain to seek refuge."

Not to mention Ding Sheng, even he, who advocated surrender, was not 100% sure about this choice.

Zhu Ming beheaded Juan and his gang in public, and sent people to clear out all the robbers, big and small, in the surrounding area. Only their Qingfeng Village and a few mountain villages were far away and avoided any trouble.

It is normal that they do not trust this little grandson of the emperor.

"If something happens to me, you can find another way. If I am fine, you can lead people down the mountain. How about that?"

Since you have chosen this path, just give it a try.

This way, he could live up to the trust of the boss. It was not until he heard Wang Weiheng's words that Ding Sheng looked at Wang Weiheng in disbelief.

"Since you have no objection, then it is settled."

Wang Weiheng didn't give them time to speak and made the decision.

Early the next morning, Wang Weiheng gathered half of the brothers in Qingfeng Village, more than a hundred people, and headed towards the county town at the foot of the mountain.

"Mr. Wang brought his troops here today. I guess he has considered it carefully?"

Upon hearing the news that Wang Weiheng was leading his troops again, Zhu Ming rushed to the top of the city wall and looked down at Wang Weiheng from above.

"Yes, I brought people to seek refuge with His Highness."

Wang Weiheng raised his head and shouted at Zhu Ming.

As he said this, he dismounted from his horse, knelt on one knee, and raised his sword above his head with both hands.

Seeing this, the thieves behind him also took off their weapons and threw them on the ground.

"Your Highness, be careful of fraud."

Upon seeing this, Zhu Ming turned around and wanted to leave the city to accept Wang Weiheng's surrender, but Wang Juren quickly spoke out to dissuade him.

"Your Highness, please let me go."

The captain of the nearby army also stood up and bowed to the emperor's grandson.

They failed to stop His Royal Highness the Grandson last time, and this time they must not let His Royal Highness the Grandson be in danger again no matter what.

Having said that, the captain retreated without waiting for Zhu Ming's consent.

Zhu Ming had no choice but to return to the city wall and command the archers to shoot at Wang Weiheng. As long as Wang Weiheng made any dangerous moves, he would order them to shoot.

Under the city wall, the city gate was wide open, and the captain rode a black horse and walked up to Wang Weiheng without dismounting.

He immediately reached out and used his knife to pick up Wang Weiheng's knife into his own hand.

"you?"

Wang Weiheng looked at the captain with some surprise. He didn't expect that the one who came to accept his surrender this time was not the emperor's grandson.

"I am the chief of this county, and I will not humiliate you by coming here."

The captain rode on his horse, looked into Wang Weiheng's eyes, and spoke slowly.

Wang Weiheng also nodded and did not resist.

"Come here, take away their weapons and take them into the city."

Seeing that Wang Weiheng did not resist, Zhu Ming waved his hand and gave orders.

Hundreds of officers and soldiers ran out of the city, arrested the more than 100 people brought by Wang Weiheng, and sent them into the city.

Wang Weiheng, the bandit leader, was also brought to Zhu Ming by the captain.

"Your Highness, you promised me before that as long as we come back, you will not pursue our mistakes."

Wang Weiheng looked at Zhu Ming and repeated the conditions that Zhu Ming had proposed before.

He hoped that this noble grandson of the emperor would keep his word and not go back on his word.

"I will do what I promised you."

Zhu Ming nodded affirmatively. He was not a man who would go back on his word, but he had one more thing to do before fulfilling his promise.

"Lord Wang."

Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Wang Juren behind him and shouted.

Wang Juren immediately came over and bowed respectfully: "Your humble servant is here."

“Go and inform the people to identify the thieves who were brought in. If there are any who have done evil, put them in jail.”

After Zhu Ming gave his instructions to Wang Juren, he turned back to look at Wang Weiheng and said with a smile: "I think the boss won't mind this."

He can accept these thieves, but the unstable factors among them must be eliminated.

"No."

Wang Weiheng had to admit that Zhu Ming's approach was reasonable, and he would probably do the same if he were in his place.

More importantly, he believed that the brothers in Qingfeng Village were all honest people and could withstand such a physical examination.

"Then I'll have to inconvenience you, Mr. Wang, and let you stay in jail for a while."

Seeing that Wang Weiheng had no objection, Zhu Ming nodded and waved his hand to let the captain take all these people away.

"Your Highness, the number of people he brought this time is less than half of the last time. I think that is still a little inappropriate."

After the captain took Wang Weiheng away, Wang Juren stood up and reminded Zhu Ming with a vigilant look on his face.

He would never trust these thieves easily.

"fine."

Zhu Ming did not take Wang Juren's words seriously.

"After the investigation is complete and no one is found to be the culprit among these people, you can separate them and arrange them to different places. The farther apart, the better."

He looked at Wang Juren and spoke calmly.

This is also done to divide these people.

If these people were separated and scattered all over the place, even if someone came to pick them up, they would not be able to cause any big waves in the city.
