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

"Think about it carefully. I don't have that much time to waste here."

Looking at the arsonist who was still in deep thought, Zhu Ming waved his hand casually, then turned to look at the Jinyiwei beside him: "Watch them carefully, don't let them die."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the prison.

After all, these people only know a little bit. Even if they confess, they can only point out Wang Ganju at most.

It now seems that the water in Shanxi is deeper than we thought.

"Your Highness, you are here again so soon."

Wang Ganju slowly opened his eyes from the cell, looked at Zhu Ming who had walked up to him, and laughed out loud with some sarcasm.

"I came to see if you were still alive."

Zhu Ming didn't care much about Wang Ganju's attitude. He chuckled and looked him up and down.

Those people would attack the arsonist, and they might also attack Wang Ganju.

If Wang Ganju were alive, they would be more satisfied if he were dead.

"Your Highness, don't you always want me to die?"

Hearing Zhu Ming's counterattack, Wang Ganju felt a little confused, but he still had that mocking look on his face.

I had my people burn down the granary. Although there is no evidence yet, since Zhu Ming was able to lock me up here, it means he has guessed it to some extent.

There was no way he didn't want to die.

"Just now, those arsonists were silenced."

Zhu Ming put away his smile and looked at Wang Ganju seriously.

With Wang Ganju's intelligence, he definitely knows what this represents.

Sure enough, after Zhu Ming said this, the expression on Wang Ganju's face froze.

"But fortunately, I saved them."

Looking at Wang Ganju's stiff expression, Zhu Ming knew that he knew the meaning of what he had just said.

"Although I don't have evidence yet, you and I both know it."

"You burned the granary and nearly provoked a civil uprising. Of course I want you dead, but I want you to die in my hands."

Those people failed in their attempt to assassinate the arsonist and had already alerted the enemy, so they probably wouldn't attack them again.

But killing Wang Ganju would have the same effect.

Obviously, Wang Ganju also lowered his head.

Although he is the prefect, a fourth-rank official, now that he is in prison, those people may not fail to do such a thing.

"impossible!"

He suddenly looked up, excited.

"I am a fourth-rank official, an official appointed by the imperial court. How can I be killed at will?"

Looking at Wang Ganju, who was no longer as calm as before, Zhu Ming chuckled: "Indeed, I am not sure whether those people will kill you."

"So, let's take a gamble, let's bet your life."

After Zhu Ming finished speaking, he no longer looked into Wang Ganju's eyes and turned around.

"Everyone follow me."

Having said that, he took all the guards out of the prison.

"Come back, everyone, I'm a fourth-rank official!"

Looking at the prison that suddenly became empty, Wang Ganju excitedly shouted towards the door.

Just like Zhu Ming said, he actually didn't know whether those people would attack him.

Even if he is a fourth-rank official, he will be of no use once he is thrown into prison.

A gust of cold wind blew in from the window, shaking the fire, making Wang Ganju's heart tremble again.

"Your Highness, Miss Sijin asked me to tell you that Eunuch Liu Jin is back."

As soon as he walked out of the prison gate, a servant came up to him and bowed to Zhu Ming.

"Oh?"

Zhu Ming looked at the servants who had already been prepared. If Liu Jin arrived, the soldiers defending the city should inform him first.

I didn't receive any notification, so how come he's here?

"You said Sijin asked you to come?"

Zhu Ming looked up and down at the servant in front of him, but he was thinking about Si Jin.

"Yes, Miss Sijin asked His Highness to go directly to the city gate."

The servant nodded affirmatively, he was just following orders.

Zhu Ming nodded and turned to walk out the main door.

He wanted to see whether what Si Jin said was right or not.

When I arrived at the city gate, apart from the common people coming and going, there was not a single grain transport cart in sight, let alone Liu Jin.

He went to buy grain, but he bought several thousand bags of grain, which was equivalent to buying up all the grain in the province.

With so much food coming, it is impossible for there to be no movement at all.

"What is Sijin doing?"

Zhu Ming shook his head in disappointment. Before he could finish his words, he saw a cloud of dust flying outside the door, followed by a convoy of food that was as far as the eye could see.

"Your Highness!"

With a loud shout, a horse-drawn carriage drove to the city gate and the driver waved the whip at Zhu Ming.

"It's really here."

Zhu Ming looked at Liu Jin who was greeting him and smiled.

There is something about Sijin. She was right.

"Your Highness, Jiangnan's food is basically all here."

Liu Jin pointed at the convoy behind him and looked at Zhu Ming with a smug look on his face.

If it weren't for Zhu Ming's face, ordinary people really wouldn't be able to buy so much food.

"Quick, let Lord Zhang take the people to move the grain!"

Zhu Ming immediately turned around and shouted to the guards behind him.

With so much food, it would be impossible for the people on the city wall to move it all in a short time.

"How did your highness know that I would be back today?"

Liu Jin saw that Zhu Ming had already arranged people to transport grain, and looked at Zhu Ming and asked in confusion.

After buying enough food, he rushed back as soon as possible without even having time to report.

But looking at His Highness's appearance, it seems as if he is waiting for me here.

"Let's go and talk about it when we get back."

Zhu Ming patted Liu Jin on the shoulder. He must be exhausted after transporting so much food back from the long journey.

"Take a shower and get ready for dinner."

As Zhu Ming and Liu Jin walked into the mansion, Si Jin's cold voice came over.

Before he could speak, the servants beside him were waiting to serve Zhu Ming.

"Aren't you curious about how I knew you were coming back today?"

Zhu Ming smiled helplessly. Si Jin looked like she had already planned what to do today.

"She told me."

He pointed at Sijin and followed the servants to retreat.

After all, I have been in jail for so long today that I smell a bit musty.

Liu Jin looked at Si Jin, who still had no expression on her face, and shook his head helplessly.

I don't understand it anymore.

But since someone arranged a welcome party for him, of course he gladly accepted it.

By the time Zhu Ming and Liu Jin changed their clothes, Si Jin had already placed the dishes on the table and was waiting for Zhu Ming to come out.

"How do you know Liu Jin is coming back today?"

Zhu Ming picked up the food and still looked at Si Jin with a puzzled look.

Liu Jin did not notify Si Jin in advance, but she knew that she could come in and transport the food, and she also asked someone to notify her to wait at the city gate.

This Sijin is really capable.

Hearing Zhu Ming asking the question that he was also curious about, Liu Jin also turned his head and looked straight at Si Jin.
