Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Thinking of this, Yang Daqiang no longer dared to be arrogant because of his special status as a Jinyiwei. The hairs on his back suddenly stood up, and the chill of winter seemed to pour in from the top of his head, through his limbs and bones to the soles of his feet.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He forced out an extremely ugly smile, looked at Zhuo Jing, clasped his fists and saluted: "Master Zhuo... what... is going on?"

First, he did want to ask, and second, he wanted to distance himself from the matter: Although the incident happened in my territory, I really didn’t know about it!

Done.

Immediately dismount.

He looked around and found Li Shunan, the flag officer in charge of this place, who was under him. Without saying a word, he walked up to him and kicked him in the stomach, shouting angrily, "Li Shunan! Is this the mine you're in charge of?"

Li Shunan groaned, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, but he could only force himself to kneel on the ground. His dark and plain-looking face had lost all color, and his lips were pale. He lowered his head, and where no one could see, his eyes were full of hatred.

He hates.

But I can only hate it.

If the undercover miner named He San had been discovered before, or if only a few people like Zhuo Jing and Shen Zhen had discovered this place, he could have just gone all out and made them disappear. But now that there are heavy troops around, nothing he can do will work!

Regarding Yang Daqiang's slightly deliberate performance.

Zhuo Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, tossed his sleeves indifferently, and said, "Captain Yang, whether you know about what happened today or not, as long as it happened under your hands, you can't get away with it!"

Yang Daqiang's face changed, and he pursed his lips and was about to say something, but Zhuo Jing was obviously too lazy to give him half a face, and did not even give him a chance to speak, and continued:

"This little flag under your command is quite capable."

"If I hadn't made extra preparations in advance and arranged for He San to come here to investigate, and He San hadn't returned, I might have really been deceived by him!"

"Look at He San. He was a sixth-rank official in the imperial court. He was a fine man who came here in good condition. But in just a few days, he has become like this. You can imagine what these miners have gone through!"

After Zhuo Jing finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Zhen who was holding He San.

His voice softened a bit: "Take He San back and let him rest first. The specific situation here will be most convenient to understand after he wakes up. Only then can we convict him!"

Shen Zhen frowned and nodded: "Yes, sir."

After saying that, he carried the unconscious and disheveled He San on his back and walked towards a nearby tent.

I saw Shen Zhen crawl into the tent.

He San then withdrew his gaze, a stern, solemn, and awe-inspiring expression on his face. He reached into the sleeve of his official robe and pulled out a bright yellow scroll of imperial edict, slowly unfolding it: "Your Majesty has a decree!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present became solemn and knelt on the ground in unison, no one daring to look up.

"In compliance with the decree of the Emperor of Heaven and Earth."

"I have been entrusted with the mandate of Heaven to govern the lands of the land. I work tirelessly day and night to ensure the well-being of the people. Mining is for the benefit of the people, and I shall not allow any one to suffer."

"I hereby appoint Zhuo Jing, Director of the Internal Audit Bureau, as Imperial Commissioner to inspect the accounts and conditions of all major mines on behalf of the Emperor."

"You must be impartial and just, and rigorously investigate the facts. If there are any individuals found guilty of corruption, dereliction of duty, or illegal activities, all those involved will be executed along with their entire families. The main perpetrators will be skinned and stuffed with straw, and their bodies left exposed in the wilderness! Your Majesty!"

The powerful sound fell on the snow, especially loud...

"Long live your Majesty! Long live! Long live!"

Yang Daqiang, Zhuo Jing's entourage, the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and the garrison soldiers all cheered loudly with varying expressions.

The miners in the mine did not know the rules and were still stunned by the soldiers, imperial envoys, and Jinyiwei who came and went in front of them. They even knelt down just now because they heard the words "imperial edict".
