Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the Hall of Rites with an indifferent expression. He said to the eunuch Chen Hong,"Go and call our Hero Transportation Company.”
"Oh, call the transport company over too.”
"This old servant obeys."
Not long after, the officials of the Salt Transportation Department, Huang Bin and Zhang Youbing, arrived at the hall anxiously.
"Lord Zhang, look up at us." Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently.”
A familiar voice sounded in Zhang You Bing's ears. He didn't even dare to raise his head as he knew what the emperor looked like.
At this moment, his entire body was cold. He raised his head mechanically and saw that familiar face. Zhang Youbing immediately kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly,"I told you to buy salt. Did I ask you to force yourself to buy and sell it?" Ah?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's sharp gaze shot towards the transport envoy Huang Bin who was kneeling at the side.
"The Embroidered Uniform Guards told us that you were the one who asked them to bring people to threaten you?”
" Emperor…Emperor…This…"
"Good, very good!" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered. Why are you so happy to be an official? Because he held power in his hands! If they were asked to do things, they would all die! Each and every one of them was talking about the world. Look at the people in this world. Aren't they all forced to buy and sell by you?”
Zhu Yuanzhang flew into a rage. His intimidating aura made the two people from the transport company not dare to raise their heads.
"Men! Go and inform the Ministry of Personnel that Huang Bin will be demoted by three levels and will be retained for investigation! Zhang Youbing will be fined half a year!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."”
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't be bothered to look at them, so Chen Hong quickly waved at the two of them to leave the hall.
……
On the other side, Blue Jade had already called the other three people to head towards the Salt Mountain.
At the foot of the Salt Mountain, Zhu Huai inspected the progress of the construction of the houses and prepared to leave.
Coincidentally, they met a group of people head-on.
Zhu Huai nodded at them and prepared to leave.
"Wait!"
A rough voice suddenly stopped Zhu Huai.
The person who stopped Zhu Huai was a dark-skinned, burly man. His eyes were filled with sorrow and excitement!
He was the eldest son of Chang Yuchun, the War God of Great Ming. Zhu Yuanzhang had personally conferred him the title of Duke Zheng of Great Ming, Chang Mao!
The two people standing behind Chang Mao were his second brother, the Founding Duke Chang Sheng, and his third brother, Marquis of Phoenix Sun Chang Sen!
The three of them had similar faces. They were equally dark and muscular!
Looking at Zhu Huai's expression, it was also filled with sorrow and excitement!
At first, when Lan Yu told them that Xiong He was still alive, they didn't believe him!
Now that they saw Zhu Huai, the three of them immediately felt their eyes turn sour. The eyes of the iron-forged man also began to turn red.
This is Big Sister's child, our nephew!
It must be!
Zhu Huai looked at the four people in front of him with a guarded look in his eyes. He frowned and said,"What's the matter, four nobles?"
Second brother Chang Sheng and third brother Chang Sen wanted to speak but were stopped by Chang Mao.
Chang Mao looked at Zhu Huai, then pointed at the ground with a trembling finger and said slowly,""Child, your bone string fell.”
Zhu Huai lowered his head and found that there was indeed a string of exquisite bone skewers under his feet.
"I didn't leave this behind." He shook his head.”
Then, he cupped his hands and said,"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."”
He looked at Zhu Huai's back as he left.
Instantly, the eyes of the three men, who had countless military achievements and killed without blinking, turned red.
"Child, don't you remember? This is the bone bracelet from the Western Regions that your uncle gave you when you were young!”
"You said that you like bone skewers. Your uncle went to the Western Regions to fight a war and sent someone from afar to personally deliver them to you!”
"Don't you remember?"
Chang Mao clenched his fists, his voice trembling as he looked at Lan Yu."Why are you only saying it now? Why are you only saying it now?”
Lan Yu sighed.
He did not want the three descendants of the Chang family to be involved in this storm.
If Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, the Huaixi military group led by Lan Yu would be wiped out by the old man.
However, these three were Chang Yuchun's legitimate sons. The old man would not touch them for Chang Yuchun's sake.
But now…since he was involved, there was no way out.
Lan Yu stared at the three men from the Chang family and asked,""Are you sure this is a male eel?”
Chang Mao clenched his fists." This is Big Sister's bloodline. It must be Big Sister's bloodline!" Why was Xiong He still alive? What was going on?!”
"What has he been through all these years?"
The second son, Chang Sheng, shouted," Mother, Uncle, without Father and Mother, you still have your uncles. We love you, we take care of you, we help you!”
"We can't count on our eldest sister's second son anymore, but Xionghe is different!" Chang Sen added. He had been smart since he was young! It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive!"
? Lan Yu said seriously," Now isn't the time to be emotional. Our future is closely related to our future. You must give me a definite answer!"”
The three of them were stunned. Chang Mao said unhappily,"Uncle, you're his granduncle! You were closer to him than we were when we were young!”
"That's right! When you went to war, didn't you also send two precious steeds from afar to give to the male lion?”
"Are you still asking us if he is your grandson? Didn't you already have an answer in your heart when you called us here today?”
……
Zhu Huai shook his head.
Those few people were dressed in brocade, and they were either rich or noble. I don't know if they were deliberately waiting for me or if they really happened to pass by.
If you deliberately waited for me there, then it means that you're eyeing the benefits of Salt Mountain.
A tall tree attracts the wind!
For the first time, Zhu Huai felt emotional.
However, he was not afraid.
There was no such thing as forced buying and selling these days. If such a scandal happened in the Yingtian Prefecture under Martial Emperor Hong Wu's rule, it would be a slap to Emperor Hong Wu's face!
If that day really came, Zhu Huai would definitely create the biggest commotion and pierce through the heavens to Emperor Hongwu!
"But it's strange."
Zhu Huai muttered.
Looking at those people's expressions, there was actually a deep concern in their eyes. Could it be that I'm related to them?
This doesn't make sense. If that's the case, why didn't they come to me earlier?
Of course, Zhu Huai didn't know that they didn't come looking for you because everyone thought you were dead!
Your grandfather sealed the news of the missing body of the Zhong Mountain Emperor's Mausoleum!
Otherwise, even if these people risked their lives, they would still find you!
