Early the next morning, Zheng Yanfu took four diehards to bid farewell to Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er, and he wanted to follow what Zhu Yuanzhang said, go to Shaanxi, and strive to unite more heroes and heroes to rebel and revolt together.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he would definitely succeed, or that even if he didn't do it, by the autumn of next year, there would be many rebels revolting at the same time, such as the Baishui Wang II Uprising, the Fugu Wang Jiayin Uprising, the Yichuan Wang Zuohang Uprising, the Ansai Gao Yingxiang Uprising, the Hannan Wang Daliang Uprising, and so on.

But Zhu Yuanzhang still let Zheng Yanfu go, the reason is very simple, he needs to use Zheng Yanfu's mouth to spread the name Baishui Zhuba, so that his influence can subtly exist within the rebel army, and when the heroes rise together, he can use his reputation to do many things.

After sending Zheng Yanfu and his gang away, Zhu Yuanzhang and Wang Er embarked on the road back to Ma's house.

Zhu Yuanzhang has not changed much, but Wang Er has changed a lot, he has learned a lot of things in this trip, and he is afraid that he will not be able to digest it in a short time, Zhu Yuanzhang knows that he needs a period of time to sort out his thoughts, so he did not bother him.

The two rushed back to Ma's house in front of the officers and soldiers, and Zhu Yuanzhang casually reported to Ma Qianjiu about the situation in the nearby villages, even if he passed the customs in a fool's way, no one suspected him of anything.

Half a day later, the officers and soldiers returned to Mafu, Yang Hong displayed the "charred and blackened corpse of Zheng Yanfu" in front of the second young grandmother, and Qiu Ye reconfirmed that this was Zheng Yanfu's body. Yang Hong was satisfied with the thousands of taels of silver given to him by the second young grandmother and went back to Xi'an Mansion to receive the merit.

Soon after, the imperial court appointed a new county lord to Chengcheng, and the Chengcheng Zheng Yanfu uprising, which occurred in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, ended in such an ending. In everyone's hearts, Zheng Yanfu is dead.

Early one morning a few days later, Zhu Yuanzhang taught boxing in the courtyard. Recently, more and more people have come to him to learn boxing, and in addition to the group of young people in Xigu Village, many other poor people from the village have come to him, and these people have different motivations.

Some of them really came to learn boxing, and they didn't have a trace of the idea of learning the ability to kill officials and rebel in their hearts. Some are learning boxing and want to use it to defend their families and the country. Some are pretending to come to learn boxing, but in fact they are here to eat and drink, the world is difficult, many people can't get by, I heard that Baishui Zhu Bugling is righteous and squandering money, and is willing to help the poor, so they flock to him to beg for food.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see what they thought, but he still used his monthly silver to buy some food and distribute it to them. For Zhu Yuanzhang, money is just a number, what really matters is his reputation, these people use him to eat and drink, and he also uses these people's mouths to spread the image of his righteousness and wealth, why not?

Wang Er often comes to help him teach people boxing, after returning from Dongzi Cliff, Wang Er was silent for a long time, when he regained his strength, he became more powerful than before, he vaguely felt Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to train this group of people, so when he replaced Zhu Yuanzhang to teach boxing, he was very serious, and he would be strict with the apprentices who learned boxing.

The kind of person who can't hold on after practicing boxing for a few days will make Wang Er think of Zhao Yu's group...... He has no good face for this kind of person, and anyone who lacks perseverance will be kicked out of the door by him, but he helped Zhu Yuanzhang play the role of a god-like gatekeeper.

Zhu Yuanzhang will be the good guy who accepts people in, and the wicked guy who drives people out will be Wang Er, which not only ensures that Zhu Yuanzhang's reputation for righteousness and wealth is not weak, but also makes the essence of what remains in the team.

After Zhu Yuanzhang taught boxing that day, it was already dark, he returned to his cabin, took off his clothes and threw them on the table, revealing his upper body. There were already three stinky clothes thrown on the table, and all his changes of clothes were here, which was a big problem...... Tomorrow is the time to wash the clothes again.

Thinking of washing clothes, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed deeply, and he should have a better attitude towards the maids at home.

At this time, the door of the hut suddenly knocked softly, and a timid female voice asked outside, "Brother Zhu, are you there?" ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, this was Qiuye's voice, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, it was dark, what was she doing when she came to the door?

You must know that in a big family, not only the young lady should pay attention to virtue, but also the maid is very particular, and the third watch in the middle of the night ran to talk to the man, if he was discovered, he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't tell. Since she came to the door at such a time, she must have made a very big determination.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a voice that could be heard just enough at the door, and could not be heard from a little farther away: "I'm here!" Come in and talk about something! When you are seen in front of my door, things are in trouble. ”

The door was gently pushed open, and Akiba's small and delicate figure flashed in, quickly covering the door, apparently afraid of being seen. Entering the house, with the help of the dim oil lamp, she suddenly saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was not wearing clothes, only pants, and his upper body showed just the right muscles, and her pretty face suddenly turned red: "Brother Zhu...... You...... Why are you not wearing clothes? ”

"Hey! I'm ready to rest in my own home, what clothes are I still wearing? It's a big problem that you come in the middle of the night. ”

Hearing this, Akiba lowered his head and pouted.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that she seemed to have something to say, so he pointed to the stool next to the table and said, "Sit down and talk...... Teapot on the table...... Ahem, it's empty, I never soak this thing, so I don't have any water to drink, don't blame me for being the master. ”

His hut had been left unattended for a long time, and the teapot was not only empty, but had not been washed for a long time, for fear that it would grow hair, and he would not let him use it for water now. There was a withered trumpet flower in the small vase on the table, and I don't know when it was inserted in it.

Qiu Ye sat down at the table slowly, looked at the few utensils on the table that had not been touched for a long time, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's stinky clothes, and couldn't help but think in his heart: Zhu Bugger's drive away the Ma family's maid seems to be true, and there is no woman in his house to take care of it at all. Could it be that everyone rumored that he didn't like the Ma family's maid, and he liked me, is this true? Heck, I'm here to get down to business, what do you think?

Qiu Ye calmed down and said seriously: "Brother Zhu, I know you don't like me, but I have something in my heart, no one can talk about it, I know that Brother Zhu is a good person, so I have to tell you, otherwise I will go crazy if I hold it any longer." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's head hurt, this woman ...... Don't tell me anything about love and love, then I'll go crazy.

Akiba said in a deep voice: "It's about Zheng Yanfu......"

"What?" Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit suddenly lifted.

Qiu Ye lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong: "Brother Zhu, I'm a bad woman, I told a big lie to everyone." The charred corpse...... When I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be Zheng Yanfu...... But Yang Qianhu is so fierce, and my young lady is also full of hope to see Zheng Yanfu's corpse, I ...... I don't dare to say...... I'm afraid that if I say it, they will all be disappointed, and they will blame me for misidentifying people......"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he already understood, when Qiu Ye recognized the corpse at that time, he was frightened by Yang Hong, and hurriedly said that it was Zheng Yanfu's corpse, and later, she thought of something wrong, but when she remembered it, she was already riding a tiger, and she couldn't change her words if she wanted to.

Akiba lowered her head, and two lines of tears flowed from her face: "I don't know what to do...... Brother Zhu, everyone says that you are the smartest person, smarter than the eldest young master and the horse steward, tell me, what should I do now? ”

She lowered her head and cried, revealing a white back of her neck, a few strands of hair were messy, and if she was seen by other men, she would definitely feel a little distressed. But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel distressed at all, in his past and present lives, he would only feel sorry for the woman Queen Bigfoot. He looked at the white back of Akiba's neck and couldn't help but think: This woman is dangerous...... Zheng Yanfu is now considered an important flag for me, and the fact that he is still alive cannot be passed out from this woman. What's more, she had heard my voice, although I suppressed my voice at the time, and she didn't seem to hear that the hatper was me now, but after all, it was an unstable factor, and the unstable factor should be eliminated......

All the heroes in the world cannot tolerate the existence of factors that threaten their safety.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the back of her neck carefully, and thought to himself: She came to me in the middle of the night, and she didn't want people to know, so no one should know that she came to me tonight. If you strangle this neck with your hand, you can make her die quietly without even calling for help, and then secretly carry her body out of the house and bury it in the mountain where the cattle are grazing, which should be unaware.

He thought as he slowly approached Akiba's side. He walked very slowly, his heart was heavy, and when he decided to kill this woman, he suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling that slowly rose from the bottom of his heart. I don't know where this uncomfortable feeling comes from, is it the heart? Is it the brain? Or is it guilt?

If he was still the same Zhu Yuanzhang in his previous life, if he hadn't wandered in the sky for hundreds of years, he might have rushed over and stuck her neck with an arrow step and ruthlessly strangled her to death. In the previous life, she would not frown at all when she killed someone, but after hundreds of years of floating in the sky and seeing all kinds of conditions in the world, he also had some changes, he saw the truth, goodness and beauty of the world, and saw the good things such as persistence, dreams, hope, sympathy, faith and so on......

He also heard the evaluation of his ruthless killing by people in later generations, which was not a good evaluation, and there was a very big deviation from the wise Shenwu Founding Ancestor in his imagination, and some people often compared him to a murderer, an executioner, and a butcher. Some people say that he was a good emperor, but not a good man.

He was initially dismissive of these evaluations, but over time he also had some reflection on his actions in his previous life. There are many ways to protect yourself, not just killing. There are many ways to achieve great ambitions, and there are not only iron will. The weak also have the right to live, and killing the weak does not show their strength. If he has the opportunity in this life, he must be a good emperor, and at the same time, he must be a good person.

The woman in front of her, is she killed, or not?
