When it got a little brighter, Zhu Ming led his fellow villagers and walked towards the houses of the landlords.

"Your Highness, can we succeed this time?"

Perhaps because of the previous experiences of being suppressed, even though Zhu Ming was leading the team, the people still asked behind him with some concern.

"Don't worry, it will definitely work."

Zhu Ming nodded affirmatively. The artillery had been mobilized, so how could it not succeed?

"Gun in hand, follow me!"

As if feeling that the momentum was not enough, Zhu Ming led the team and started shouting.

"Guns in hand, follow me."

Seeing this, the people behind him also started shouting to boost their morale.

"Now, I will give you one more chance. Hand over the land and the court will compensate you for your losses."

Leading the villagers to line up in front of the house, Zhu Ming started shouting at the top of his voice again.

But after the words were spoken, there was no response from the house for a long time.

This eerie silence filled the people's hearts with confusion, and they began to whisper to each other.

They had never seen such a situation before.

"Please, everyone, fire a cannon at the door of this house."

Zhu Ming walked up to the soldiers who had been dispatched, pointed at the gate of the mansion, and signaled them to fire.

"As ordered."

The soldiers responded in unison, and without saying a word, they loaded the bullets, aimed, and fired the guns, all in one smooth movement.

Liu Jin hurried over and took Zhu Ming aside.

With a loud bang, a shocking cannon sounded.

The solid wooden door of the house had a big hole opened under the artillery bombardment.

"Folks, follow me."

Seeing the door of the house being blown open, Zhu Ming waved his hand and rushed forward with his fellow villagers.

Not to mention encountering any resistance along the way, we didn't even see a single person.

By the time they rushed into the house, the smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the house was already empty.

It seems that he ran away overnight.

After all, Zhu Ming looked murderous, and it didn't seem like he was joking.

Compared to these lands, your own life is more important.

"Go find the title deed!"

The plan was successful, and Zhu Ming still directed the villagers to find the land deed first.

Only if they get the land deeds will these people have no reason to turn the tables.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, would you like to take a look at this?"

Liu Jin rummaged around inside and ran out with a few booklets in his hands, looking panicked.

"Is this, an account book?"

Zhu Ming took the booklets and flipped through a few chapters, then immediately closed them nervously and looked around vigilantly.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the villagers' attention was not on him.

This account book records the names of the senior officials in the court who had dealings with them.

If this thing falls into the hands of others, there will be a bloody storm.

What Zhu Yuanzhang hated most was officials accepting bribes.

"Thank you for your help."

After putting away the account book, Zhu Ming walked up to the soldiers and saluted them.

"Your Highness, what are you talking about?"

The soldiers also respectfully returned Zhu Ming's gift: "We cannot leave the barracks for too long, so we say goodbye now."

Now that things here are over, it's time for them to go back and report.

Zhu Ming did not keep them for long as he had more important things to do at the moment.

"Let's go back to the palace."

Zhu Ming turned around and looked at Liu Jin and the Jinyiwei behind him, and spoke in a deep voice.

"Grandpa Emperor, my grandson thought those adults were disobeying the king's orders, but their intentions were good."

In the Daming Palace, Zhu Yunwen knelt respectfully in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, frowned, and pleaded with Zhu Yuanzhang on behalf of all the officials.

"Yun Wen, you are still too naive."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunwen with some heartache and shook his head helplessly.

Those people are not thinking about the Ming Dynasty, they are just after the silver that is put into their pockets.

There are many intricacies involved here. Don't think that he is still so naive after being the emperor for so long.

If there was no evidence that they accepted the money, they would have been convicted long ago.

It was because Zhu Yunwen was young and too naive that he was fooled.

It was obvious that these people saw Fang Xiaoru and Xu Da standing up to oppose and were afraid that the matter could not be concealed, so they went to Zhu Yunwen.

"Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Yunwen wanted to say something else when a childish voice came from outside the door.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen quickly looked towards the door.

Zhu Ming and Liu Jin ran so fast that their clothes were a little disheveled and they stood there panting.

"My dear grandson, why are you so anxious?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ran over with a look of heartache, picked up Zhu Ming, and personally and attentively tidied his clothes.

Zhu Yunwen, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at this scene with even more sourness, because Zhu Yuanzhang had never personally straightened his clothes.

"My dear grandson, you haven't eaten yet, eat something first."

Zhu Yuanzhang simply ignored Zhu Yunwen who was kneeling on the ground, picked up a piece of cake and fed it to Zhu Ming's mouth.

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Zhu Ming felt a little hungry and ate the cake in two or three bites.

"How is it, did you encounter any difficulties?"

Zhu Yuanzhang then began to question Zhu Ming about how he handled the riots.

Seeing that my dear grandson is so anxious, could it be that he has encountered something that he can't handle?

"It will all be resolved tomorrow."

Zhu Ming shook his head. Compared with those account books, the riot was nothing.

"What happened that made our good grandson run like this?"

Seeing Zhu Ming shaking his head, Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts became stronger.

"My grandson found an account book in those people's house."

Zhu Ming took a deep breath and told everything that had happened.

"Rebellion against them?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard about the account book, his face immediately turned cold.

What he hates most in his life is corrupt officials.

"Grandpa Emperor, Yun Wen thinks there may be some difficulties in this."

Zhu Yunwen listened and felt vaguely that it was related to his mother, so he immediately began to persuade her.

"Difficulties? What difficulties?"

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him and snorted coldly.

As long as you are greedy, you deserve to die.

Zhu Yunwen wanted to say something else, but seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so angry, he could only shrink back in fear.

"My dear grandson, where is the account book? Grandpa Huang wants to know who the bad guy is."

After scolding Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and asked Zhu Mingge about the whereabouts of the account book in a relatively gentle tone.

"When we find the account book tomorrow, it will have been burned."

Zhu Ming shook his head and did not take out the account books. He just made the excuse that they were burned to cover up the matter.

"Is that so? Then are there any other clues tomorrow?"

Zhu Yuanzhang still looked at Zhu Ming with some hopelessness and asked again.
