"Lord Wang, you follow me forward, don't worry, I will protect you."

He Fengyu also followed behind Zhu Han, and the two protected Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang one after the other.

Zhu Han was very calm, he had thought before that if something really happened, he might not have too many worries no matter how he moved forward.

But now he found that things didn't seem to be as simple as he thought, so he continued to move forward.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed behind Zhu Han, and it was pitch black all around, and there was only one torch in their hands.

The road ahead is even more bottomless, and after a stick of incense, I finally found a bright spot ahead.

However, what the two didn't expect was that when they walked towards the bright place and kept going, they found that they had unconsciously come directly to the back mountain of the temple.

Zhu Han was very surprised, and Zhu Yuanzhang looked even more incredible, he didn't expect this to be a secret passage.

It only takes half a stick of incense to get here from the temple, but if you make a detour of the mountain, it may take several hours.

It seems that what the people who dig the tunnel have left behind what they think are treasures is this secret passage.

"They should have thought that if they were besieged here in the end, they could escape through this secret passage, so they deceived their descendants with this lie of the treasure."

Zhu Han felt even more incredible, he didn't expect that they were not such a vicious person, since they were so afraid of the government, why should they rebel.

Zhu Yuanzhang sees it very ordinary, and it has long been a foregone conclusion that he will sit on the throne, but there have always been people who want to replace him.

Whether it was the White Lotus Sect or Chen Youliang, they were all beaten by him, and now seeing that the situation has stabilized, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart has relaxed slightly.

"I didn't expect to go around and around and still be here, and now that the matter of those corpses has been resolved, we should set off and go to the county seat quickly."

"I don't know if Wang An will deal with those rumors after he returns to the county office."

Zhu Yuanzhang still has a lot of concerns about this Wang An in his heart, he knows so many things in the small county town, and there are high-ranking people around him to guide him, I am afraid this is not simple.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again and again when he heard Zhu Han's words, he actually had this idea.

If there is really any accident on this road, I am afraid it will be inseparable from Wang An.

In the past few days, it can be seen that he is also a wise person, but the master next to him is definitely not simple.

"Then let's go back first, the burden is still in the temple, and our carriage is there."

As soon as He Fengyu's words fell, Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang walked to the front, looking at the beautiful scenery in the back mountain, Zhu Han's heart was full of emotion.

"It's not easy to remember that we traveled here together more than ten years ago, and so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."

"Now the life of the people must be good, and I am a little looking forward to entering Shangyuan County to see the people and the beautiful days."

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and just smiled faintly, and did not take Zhu Han's words to heart.

At the same time, as soon as Wang An returned to the county government with his master, he was already a little apprehensive in his heart.

He sat on the chair with his hands trembling slightly, looking at the prince in shock, and suddenly felt nervous in his heart.

"The prince will definitely arrive at the county office soon, what should we do if he knows about what we have done."

The master was angry when he saw Wang An so unsuccessful, and he looked at Wang An in front of him with a cold face.

"Lord Wang, what are you afraid of now? Even if Your Majesty comes to Shangyuan County, it has nothing to do with you, you just need to finish the case in your hand step by step. ”

Wang An shook his head, he had already expected that things were not so simple.

Although the homicide in the temple has been investigated by Zhu Han this time, after all, it happened in Shangyuan County, and I am afraid that I will not be able to get rid of it.

What's more, the chatter and rumors of the people outside have not been stopped, he looked at the master, and quickly stood up and walked in front of the master.

"We have to find someone as soon as possible, we must not let this kind of thing continue to happen, if Zhu Han starts to investigate, I am afraid that those previous cases in Shangyuan County will be involved."

"And I'm afraid the mouths of the people won't be able to stop it."

Wang An has been a county magistrate in Shangyuan County for so many years, but in fact, he doesn't have any real talent.

He never paid attention to the affairs of the people, and he was only interested in the things that could be scavenged for oil and water, which led to the death of many people.

Someone had already given him a hint before, but Wang An never paid attention to it, and now that things have been in a uproar, he has begun to worry a little.

I am afraid that Zhu Han will be caught by Zhu Han at that time, and even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, no one will be able to save him.

"Don't panic, my lord, if those people have any rumors, we will be more easily fooled."

"It's just that we want to find out some truth as soon as possible, as long as we hold the prince in our hands, he has the ability to reach the sky, and he can't investigate any truth, just as the so-called strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake."

Master's words made Wang Anxin's worries slowly relax a lot.

A sinister smile appeared on his face, and he muttered as he turned his head to look at his master.

"The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, what you said is indeed good, now notify a few merchants and shops in the county office, so that they can prepare as soon as possible."

"First of all, all the account books in my store will be smoothed, otherwise if the prince starts to investigate, the problem of taxation is likely to land on my head."

On weekdays, their tax problems have always been the same as those of several other county offices.

But this year, because of the good harvest and the gradual improvement of the business of several stores, even if he wanted to go to Tianfu to sue the emperor, he failed because of his own lack of strength.

And ordinary people want to sue, but there is no way to invest, this matter has been suppressed so much, and now Wang An is afraid of the East Window incident.

"Don't worry, my lord, I've settled all this matter."

Wang An's heart was slightly relieved, but he didn't know that at this time, rumors were spreading in Yingtianfu.

Many people are spreading rumors that Emperor Daming's private visit to Weifu is likely to be able to reach Shangyuan County immediately.

"I heard that Your Majesty is to be able to understand the people's feelings, if you really come to us, you have to turn over those unjust cases, otherwise those people will really die in vain."

"It's best to deal with this corrupt official, I heard that the officials of Datong Mansion have been investigated and dealt with, and now it's finally Shangyuan County's turn."

"Our people can finally see the light of day one day, but I don't know when Your Majesty will be able to come, these days we have to hurry up."

The people's chatters were boiling, but they didn't know that in a no-man's corner, two beggars were eating dirty steamed buns in their hands, and the little beggar was leaning on the old beggar's arms.

"Grandpa, are they telling the truth? Can that dog official really be investigated, and won't my parents' revenge be avenged? ”

The old beggar looked at the little beggar but shook his head, he had already heard about it, but the officials of the DPRK and China protected each other, and now it has been out of control.

He had heard all of Zhu Han's actions in Datong Mansion, but after thinking about it, it was absolutely impossible for this matter to fall on their heads.

"Now as long as you are pulled up first, your parents' hatred, you must hug it, we will wait to see this good show, if there is a chance, it would be better to rehabilitate your parents."

The little beggar listened to the old beggar's words, and his eyes were full of tears.

He looked at the steamed buns in his hand and slowly fed them to his mouth, thinking that they were also rich and wealthy in Shangyuan County back then, but they didn't know when they fell into such a situation.

The old beggar slowly held the child in his arms, and looked at the pedestrians on the street, his eyes full of hatred.

He secretly swore in his heart that he would avenge his family's revenge, and even more so that Wang An would die without a place to be buried.

When Zhu Han, He Fengyu and others arrived in Shangyuan County in a carriage, not long after entering the city, they saw bustling crowds on both sides of the street.

The people are living in peace, and the streets are prosperous. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at such a scene and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

He and Zhu Han did not ride in the carriage, and walked down from the carriage as soon as they entered the city. The two of them began to patrol the streets one after the other.

He Fengyu and Gao Fei went to find the inn to settle down first, and Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han rarely had such a quiet time.

Zhu Han held a folding fan in his hand and waved it gently, and when he walked ahead, he saw that the people were now living and working in peace and contentment, and these small objects sold on the street were indeed doing well.

He saw someone selling rock sugar gourds in front of him, so he hurriedly stepped forward, took out the silver from his sleeve, bought two sugar gourds, turned around and handed them to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Big brother, this sugar gourd is your favorite food, taste it and see if it has the taste of the year."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Han and laughed.

He took the sugar gourd in Zhu Han's hand, fed it to his mouth and gently took a bite of the sour, astringent and sweet taste, which instantly stimulated his taste buds and made Zhu Yuanzhang have a great appetite.

The people can live such a good life, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang feel a trace of comfort in his heart.

He has been the emperor of the Ming Dynasty for so many years, in order to let the people have clothes and food, and no longer worry about life.

Now seeing that Shangyuan County has changed its appearance, I am even more happy in my heart, this is the best answer sheet for him to be people-oriented and able to govern the world well.

"Big brother, what happened to Shangyuan County back then? The people can't even eat, I didn't expect it to be so prosperous here now, you see the restaurant in front of you is called Zuichun Pavilion, let's go over and take a look. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Han's line of sight and looked forward, and really saw that there were many people at the door of the restaurant.

Now it is getting dark, but the restaurant is brightly lit, and the people have a quality of life.

You can also buy drunk parties in this restaurant late at night.

Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang entered the Zuichun Pavilion and asked for the best private room.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw that the newcomer had arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked the shopkeeper to lead the way.

Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang followed behind the shopkeeper and walked to the attic little by little, and they heard a lot of rumors along the way.

A few people who were drinking below began to discuss in a whisper, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang had been visiting Weifu everywhere these days.

They thought that if they could see Zhu Yuanzhang, so many years of grievances might be able to be cleared one day.

"I really don't know when Your Majesty will be able to come to our Shangyuan County, I heard that he has been visiting everywhere these days, will he come to us one day."

"We have been oppressed too much here over the years, if we can investigate all of this one day, we must ask for Wang An's head."

The shopkeeper also seemed to have discovered the abnormality here, and hurriedly walked over, hearing that they were all talking about the matter, and quickly apologized with a bitter face.

"Be quiet, be quiet, don't be listened to by his lackeys, but otherwise we won't be able to eat and walk around."

Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at each other, and they already sensed that there would definitely be something in this that they didn't know.

So Zhu Han and Zhu Yuanzhang entered the attic, and the shopkeeper quickly served them some dishes, as well as a jar of daughter red.

Just as the shopkeeper was about to leave, Zhu Han called out to him.

"Little Er, I have something I want to ask you about today, can you talk to us conveniently."

The shopkeeper looked at Zhu Han and hurriedly shook his head, he took the rag in his hand with a cautious face and retreated several steps.

"Guest, the food I should serve has already been served, if you have any questions, just ask the shopkeeper, I don't know anything."

The shopkeeper's vision was not big, looking at his immature face, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stepped forward, gently put it on the shoulder of the shopkeeper, and helped him take off the rag.

When he looked at the shopkeeper, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him in a whisper.

"Don't worry, the news we inquired about will definitely not let you lose your head, so many people in this store are disturbing, you must know a lot of gossip, we just came here."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words made the shopkeeper slowly relax his vigilance against him.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's kind appearance, the shopkeeper nodded lightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly brought people to their table, and picked up a handful of peanuts and put them in the hands of the shopkeeper.

"How long have you been here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked about it, and the shopkeeper told Zhu Yuanzhang that he had only been here for three months, but he had heard a lot of things.

"Just ask whatever you want, I don't know much anyway, but it seems that a lot of things have been mentioned here these days."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the words of the shopkeeper, and hurriedly began to ask him.

After all, some of the news he has heard now is actually not perfect, and Wang An must have been prepared these days.

It's probably not easy for them to find some opportunities now, but now that they're all here, it's absolutely impossible to miss any opportunities.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han hurriedly began to ask what had happened in Shangyuan County to the county seat these days.

The shopkeeper made the rumors clear to them, which surprised Zhu Han.

He didn't dare to imagine that Wang An had done so many evil things behind their backs. (End of chapter)
