Chapter Thirty-Seven: Parade through the Streets

Outside the city of Nanjing, a man in a luxurious military uniform sat in the carriage of the rich and noble court, the carriage was surrounded by the officers and soldiers of Senluo, not giving anyone a chance to stop and approach, the person sitting in the carriage was naturally the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang opened the curtain in the carriage and looked around, staring at the prisoner cart covered with black cloth for a long time.

Under the black cloth of the prisoner car, there are three prisoners, these three people are Hu Weiyong, Chen Ning and Tu Jie, the three of them are the big figures in Hu Weiyong's rebellion against the party, as for some small people, Zhu Yuanzhang has already learned a thing or two by raiding his home, and he is sending troops to arrest them.

"Phew, I regret it, if I hadn't been with you, I wouldn't have ended up in such a field! It's over, my reputation is about to be ruined, I blame you, I can't go down in history. Chen Ning complained that since ancient times, people who have treason and rebelled against the party will be spurned by future generations, Qin Hui is like this, but they don't know that in the future of Ma Sanbao, they are not the one who is spurned, but after Ma Sanbao came to Daming, everything has undergone a little subtle change.

Hu Weiyong didn't have any words, his hands and feet were shackled, as one of the important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Weiyong would one day become a prisoner of the rank and he was to blame, if he was not against the party, he is still living a comfortable life as a prime minister, but unfortunately, it backfired, after he was exposed, he could only become the object of spurning by everyone in the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the morning market has passed, and the parade will begin, right?" The prince stood respectfully on the side of Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage and asked the people in the car, and no one dared to act rashly without the permission of the person in the car.

"Have you ever informed Wen He and Di'er?" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came from the carriage, he was sitting in the carriage to taste the pastry that he had never tasted, this pastry was made by Ma Sanbao on a whim last night, through the combination of milk and pasta, Zhu Yuanzhang liked this sweet ingredient a little, and called it a cake.

"After the notice, the Fourth Highness said that they wanted to promote Marven and the new pastries invented by Marven in Zuixian Tower, so they watched the procession in Zuixian Tower." Wang Gonggong replied to Zhu Yuanzhang, feeling in his heart that Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di were a little slack, this parade may be a parade they can only encounter once in their lives, and they gave up the opportunity to follow the whole process because of a business.

"Young people, they are motivated, they are worth advocating, I don't bother the two of them anymore, Wenhe still has a task in his body, they should also go to Beiping after a while, let them do it during this time, don't interfere! It's not too early, let's go! Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth, and the pastries in front of him made him have a lot of good feelings for Ma Sanbao, this thing just met his appetite, who is Zhu Yuanzhang? Since he was a child, he begged for food, and when he arrived in the palace, no matter how precious the ingredients were, they were not as good as the pearl jade and white jade soup in his mind to a certain extent.

The prince was a little helpless, in his heart, he felt that the emperor was a little partial to Ma Sanbao, first gave Ma Sanbao a nine-grade official position such as supervising the imperial history, and then arranged a wish for Ma Sanbao to keep his innocence, and after grabbing Hu Weiyong's evidence, he gave Ma Sanbao a wish that could be satisfied, his prince had never had such courtesy after following Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, he couldn't help but envy Ma Sanbao in his heart, he was also a celebrity favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, why is the gap so big?

With Zhu Yuanzhang's will issued, the officers and soldiers who escorted Hu Weiyong to the parade took off the black cloth on Hu Weiyong's prisoner car, and for a while, the sun shone on the faces of the three people in the prisoner car, shaking the three of them a little unable to open their eyes.

The three people, who were accustomed to a life of great wealth and wealth, looked a little uncomfortable being escorted by the prisoner cart all the way, and the prisoner cart moved forward slowly, and when they reached the first block, the tattered vegetable leaves were thrown on Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage, which caused the displeasure of the prince.

"People, you throw the vegetable leaves accurately, this is Your Majesty's car, don't lose it wrong, the one behind is the prisoner's car, look at it, look at the back and lose it, don't throw it on Your Majesty's carriage."

The people who had thrown the wrong vegetable leaves before knelt down in front of the carriage, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang's officers and soldiers would take them to prison.

"It's just a small thing, don't be nervous, calm down, just pay attention next time." In the carriage, Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, in front of the people, Zhu Yuanzhang restrained the majesty that he usually has in the face of civil and military officials, although he did not open the curtain, but his tone was very friendly.

The people who threw the wrong vegetable leaves hurriedly got up from the ground, dusted off their bodies, bowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage, and breathed a deep sigh of relief, in his impression, Zhu Yuanzhang should be a very violent emperor, but he didn't expect the rumors to be wrong, and his attitude towards Zhu Yuanzhang has also changed.

The prisoner car has just walked through a block, and it is stained with egg liquid and rotten vegetable leaves, which shows how deep the hatred of the people of the Ming Dynasty is for traitors like Hu Weiyong, Hu Weiyong lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at every block and alley he had walked through, thinking that at the beginning, as long as he appeared in the block, the people all bowed their heads to him and respectfully called him the prime minister, and now he is a rat crossing the street.

Hu Weiyong didn't dare to look at any of the people, he didn't say a word, let the rotten vegetable leaves and eggs be thrown on his body, at this moment, Hu Weiyong's appearance is like a beggar, Chen Ning Tujie beside him was also not spared the fate of throwing eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, these two people are not as pitiful as Hu Weiyong, Hu Weiyong is the former prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, the official position is too high, compared to the two of them, the people hate Hu Weiyong even more.

In the teahouse not far away, in the quiet private room, the teahouse that drove slowly made Hu Pengju shed tears, he looked at his father, not to mention how wronged he was, as the son of the prime minister, he couldn't see his father being so humiliated by the people, he wanted to go downstairs and kill the people who threw vegetables and eggs, but he succumbed to Zhu Li's threat, Zhu Li did not let him move, as a prince, he understood what the consequences of Hu Pengju's appearance would bring him, he didn't want this incident to happen again, at least, It is not possible to appear on the occasion where he is.

"Don't look at it if you feel uncomfortable, Prime Minister, it's not as good as a talent who will be calculated by Ma Sanbao, a child. Hurry up and stick your head back for me, my father is in the carriage below, if a father finds out, if it affects my head, I will cut you to death with a thousand knives! Zhu Li spoke coldly, he stared at Hu Pengju, like a hunter who had met his prey, his eyes were extremely fierce, and he did not have the gentleness of his brothers.

If it were someone else, Hu Pengju would definitely refute those words that were insulting to Hu Weiyong, but the person in front of him was in charge of his own power of life and death, and his life and death were decided by the one in front of him, he didn't dare to go against Zhu Li, although the third prince Zhu Li was not treated by Zhu Yuanzhang, he was also a prince and a prince, but he was not comparable to the son of the prime minister who had lost power.

"I don't know what happened to the fourth brother and Marven and that kid, they will be gloating when they see your father's appearance, forget it, I also lost a chess piece, one day, I will make the fourth brother and that kid regret it, waiting for their industry to become bigger, it will be me who will take over!" Fourth brother, fourth brother, you never imagined that the lot of hard work you have put into your industry may become my wedding dress in the future. Zhu Li suddenly laughed heartily, startling Hu Pengju in front of him, he didn't expect that his Royal Highness had such a deep plan, thinking about the property of Zhu Di of the Fourth Highness, Zhu Di's industry in the entire Nanjing City, there is no family comparable to this sudden prince, Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di have long relied on their own industries to make a lot of money.

When the prisoner car was about to leave the teahouse where Zhu Di was, Hu Weiyong slowly raised his head, when he saw the young man in the teahouse who was staring at him for a short time, his heart beat faster, and his face showed a frightened look, he never expected that his son did not leave Nanjing. Soon, Hu Weiyong put away his surprise, quickly shook his head, and motioned for Hu Pengju to retract his head back into the private room, he did not look at Hu Pengju, not wanting to give the officers and soldiers escorting him a chance to find Hu Pengju.

.............................

In the Zuixian Building, Ma Sanbao and the others did not sit in the previous big private room, only one corner of the large private room could see the prisoner car downstairs, so it was better to choose other private rooms to rest.

Hearing the cake proposed by Ma Sanbao, Qian Youdao is naturally bright, since the two in front of him befriended, the sales of wine in Zuixianlou have increased a lot, don't look at the wine in Zuixianlou is more delicious, but the cheap Zuixianlou wine is widely praised among the people, the cost of cheap wine is much cheaper than the high-end goods in Zuixianlou, the goods are not expensive, but the amount is large, the cake is a business that makes Qian Youdao's heart move, I have tasted the cake prepared by Ma Sanbao before, Qian Youdao found that this delicacy would definitely become a big boost to his wealth, so he invested a lot of silver taels and became a shareholder in the cake industry.

Just as they were discussing how to proceed with the future business route, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside the window, not long ago, Wang Gonggong had instructed Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di that as long as they heard the sound of gongs and drums, it must be a prisoner car passing by.

Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di took their guards and servants to huddle in a small private room, looking at the prisoner car slowly passing outside the window, listening to the sound of gongs and drums outside the window, and seeing Hu Weiyong with his head down, Ma Sanbao's heart was secretly happy.

If there was no Hu Weiyong, he would not have been assassinated four times before, Hu Weiyong and Hu Pengju have always been the thorns in his heart, but it is a pity that Hu Pengju was robbed from prison, and only Hu Weiyong was arrested and brought to justice, he actually didn't care about the Ming Dynasty or anything against the party, only cared about his own life, if his life was not threatened by Hu Weiyong's father and son, at most it was just a lesson, and he would not think about putting them both in prison.
