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

"We can only gather so much food from the Jiangnan area, where the harvest is good this year."

Si Jin looked at Zhu Ming and Liu Jin's eyes, which were full of curiosity, and spoke coldly.

"Besides, the matter is urgent. No one in Jiangnan dares to delay, and there is no way we can delay on the road. We should take the main road and head straight to Hedong. Considering the load of so much food, it is just right for a round trip."

After Si Jin finished speaking, she lowered her head and went to eat her meal.

Being hungry for so long made her feel in awe of food.

If Zhu Ming and Liu Jin hadn't asked her so curiously, she wouldn't have spoken while eating.

"Brother, are we really going to die?"

Inside the prison, the arsonists looked at the Jinyiwei who were staring at them, their voices trembling.

The leader just sighed and remained silent without answering.

Originally they had hoped that those big shots would see these secrets and get them out.

But unexpectedly, what awaited them was their silencing.

It seems that in the eyes of those big shots, silencing them is much more cost-effective than rescuing them.

"It's not that easy to escape."

He glanced around and gradually became desperate.

These people are the Imperial Guards. Among so many high-ranking officials in the capital, few can escape from their hands.

Just thinking about it, they know it's impossible.

"If I had known this, I wouldn't have set this fire!"

Hearing that their boss was so desperate, the others slapped their thighs in regret, but they also grimaced in pain from the wounds on their legs.

"Those big shots don't treat us as human beings at all."

Some of the more ruthless ones would just grit their teeth.

What they said at the beginning sounded better than what they sang, but in the end they had to be killed to silence them.

Although I am not a big shot, I am not so worthless that I can be killed at will.

After he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something, raised his head and looked at the boss: "Brother, why don't we confess?"

Those big shots don't treat them as human beings, and they will die anyway if they harm themselves.

Since we are all going to die, I might as well tell you everything I know. I will bite off a piece of their flesh even if I die.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the other brothers were silent for a while, and then they all started shouting along.

"Brother, confess now. I'll drag a few of you down with me even if you die!"

"Confess, big brother!"

Hearing his brothers say this, the eldest brother frowned and let out a long sigh.

With the food Liu Jinyun brought back, the people in Shanxi City finally calmed down.

After all, so much grain was moved into the newly built granary by the officers and soldiers, and everyone felt more at ease seeing it.

"It's a pity that you don't study."

Zhu Ming looked at Si Jin and shook his head helplessly.

Just from the fact that Sijin was able to calculate the day when the grain would arrive, Zhu Ming knew that this was a talented person.

It’s a pity that Sijin didn’t read much.

"I can read."

Sijin spoke lightly.

What she meant was to ask Zhu Ming to give her a chance to study.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

Zhu Ming looked at Si Jin and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the jailer who came running over.

"what's up?"

He immediately turned around, looked at the jailer, and asked seriously.

After the food problem was solved, the most important thing in Shanxi City now was the two groups of prisoners locked up in jail.

"Those arsonists, they're going to confess."

The jailer pointed in the direction of the prison and spoke excitedly.

"take me."

When Zhu Ming heard this, he immediately shouted and started walking towards the prison.

During this period, he spent more time in the cell than at home.

Sijin looked at Zhu Ming's leaving back, and followed him in silence.

"Miss……"

After the guard in charge of the cell let Zhu Ming in, he looked at Si Jin who was following behind Zhu Ming, and stretched out his hand in embarrassment to stop him.

This cell is not a clean place. This delicate-skinned girl has delicate skin. What is she doing following him in?

Sijin didn't say anything, but just looked up at Zhu Ming who turned around.

"It's okay, let her in."

After a moment of silence, Zhu Ming spoke to the guard.

Since Sijin wants to come in, let her come in.

Anyway, she had been in a cell before, so it wasn't a big problem.

After hearing Zhu Ming's words, the guard stepped aside and let Si Jin in.

"Your Highness, Your Highness."

As soon as Zhu Ming and Si Jin walked into the cell, the arsonists leaned against the railings and started shouting at them.

“We are willing to recruit.”

The leader of the bandits looked at Zhu Ming, and spoke slowly with disappointment towards the people above him.

His tone was as calm as Sijin's. Perhaps only someone who was heartbroken would speak in this way.

"smart people."

Zhu Ming nodded. At least after telling it out, he could help them get revenge.

"Your Highness, can you promise to bring those people to justice?"

The leader of the bandits still looked at Zhu Ming with some concern. Their confession was no longer for their own survival.

They knew what a sin it was because of what they had done.

What they want is to drag those people into the water.

"of course."

Zhu Ming responded affirmatively.

What I have to do is to uproot all the people in the dark in Shanxi.

"We know, it's really not much, but the one who gave us the money was the steward of Magistrate Wang."

After receiving Zhu Ming's reply, the bandit leader lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice.

"really."

Zhu Ming chuckled. This answer did not surprise him.

He was happy that he finally had definite evidence to convict Wang Ganju.

"Go and bring Wang Ganju, Lord Wang."

He waved his hand and gave instructions to the jailer behind him without turning his head.

As soon as he finished speaking, the jailer behind him retreated.

Soon, Wang Ganju, in handcuffs, was brought in front of everyone.

"It's him, it's him!"

When the arsonists saw Wang Ganju, who had ordered them to set the fire, they immediately grabbed the railings and yelled at him.

"Well, Lord Wang, what do you have to say now?"

Zhu Ming turned around, looked at Wang Ganju, and asked back with a smile.

With these people's accusations, Wang Ganju should have nothing to say.

"They are nothing but a bunch of mad dogs. You can't trust what they say."

Wang Ganju just snorted coldly, turned his head and didn't even look at these thieves.

He directly denied the accusations made by these people.

"Your Highness, I have evidence!"

Wang Ganju's contemptuous attitude made these thieves even more furious.

Now we are all prisoners, who is nobler than who and still put on airs.

"Under the floor tiles of our brother's house, there are three thousand taels of silver and a handwritten letter he gave us."

They almost shouted these words out; these big shots were so arrogant.

Seeing this, Zhu Ming sneered, "Master Chen, did you hear that?"
