"The distortion of human nature..."

"The decline of morality..."

Hearing the title read out by the storyteller outside, Xu Miaojin's attention was immediately drawn to it, and a curious expression appeared on her face: "The content written by this media department is as fresh and interesting as ever."

"Sure enough, it sounds like something very serious." Her big eyes sparkled, and she pinched her pointed chin, adding a sarcastic comment: "It's just... you still like to keep things in suspense, yet it makes people want to explore."

Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows.

A slightly smug smile appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself, "The wisdom of so many talented netizens in later generations can't even handle you ancient people. Where do you think netizens can put their dignity?"

While thinking.

On the high platform outside, the gentleman reading the newspaper still had a look of shock on his face. He exclaimed, "This special edition contains shocking secrets from the imperial court! Incredible! Truly incredible!"

After saying this, he kept clicking his tongue and shaking his head.

Seriously speaking, the so-called newspaper reader in Zuiyuelou can be considered half of Zhu Yunhuan's own people.

When the newspaper was just starting out and when Zhu Yunhuan wanted to use the newspaper to build his own reputation, this guy was bribed and trained by Ma Sanbao early on, and he put in a lot of effort every time.

Don't look at his age.

Now, when it comes to setting the pace, I am pretty familiar with it.

This time it was just a greeting, and the performance started vividly.

After a few words.

In the outer hall, whether sitting on the tables and chairs surrounding the high platform, or standing in the middle of the field, or even the ordinary people outside, their appetites were suddenly piqued, and a noisy clamor was immediately heard:

"What on earth happened?"

"What about humanity and morality...it seems a bit horrifying!"

"Sir, please tell me! Please tell me!"

"..."

Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on the newspaper in the hands of the old man on the platform, their concentrated expressions full of curiosity.

The old man reading a newspaper on the platform glanced around casually.

Seeing the pace had been picked up, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly before he continued, "Don't worry, everyone. The headline of this special issue is the details of a face-to-face conversation between Zhang Zhili, the editor of the Media Department, and Zhuo Jingzhuo, the director of the Internal Audit Bureau and the imperial envoy to the major coal mines and on behalf of the emperor!"

"Now, ordinary people like us are lucky enough to get a glimpse of the secrets of the imperial court."

"But the result of this inspection tour on behalf of the emperor is, in my opinion, shocking... shocking!" The old man showed a look of deep sorrow and grief, and was obviously still continuing to lead the pace.

At this time, Fu Youwen and Zhan Hui, who had changed into ordinary uniforms, also hurried over together.

I just happened to hear this opening statement.

The two of them stopped and stood still at the same time.

Regardless of the servant who greeted them and cleared the way for them, the two of them looked at each other and exchanged glances, and saw a hint of hesitation in each other's eyes.

"The result is shocking?"

"Is this... a major case uncovered?" The two men, blending in with the crowd, stared at the platform in surprise.

They knew that Zhuo Jing had left the capital and was inspecting the mines, but they didn't know much about the details. They just thought that Zhu Yunhuan had found out about the case at the Datong Prefecture mine and was furious, so he mobilized a large force to inspect the mines before the end of the year.

Both of them have been in officialdom for many years.

In particular, Fu Youwen had been working in the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of the Ming Dynasty's treasury and financial expenditures.

His views on this matter are similar to Zhu Yuanzhang's.

So many mines have been opened this year, and there are accounts for several months in total. Mobilizing a large number of people to check is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
