Song Yi suddenly understood and said a series of words.
Although his official position wasn't high and he was only a mere Yin Tian Prefecture Magistrate, many of his classmates and teachers held important positions.
When he heard them talk, he had also heard that the Emperor had the intention to appoint an imperial grandson.
Now that he heard Qin Mu say the same thing, he instantly felt that it was most likely true.
At the same time, the gaze he looked at Qin Mu with was filled with respect.
This secret of the imperial court was not something that ordinary scholars could know.
Since Qin Mu could tell such a shocking secret, it meant that he wasn't an ordinary scholar. He might have a backer behind him!
Song Yi cupped his hands at Qin Mu.
"Thank you for your reminder, nephew!"
"With nephew's words, this official might as well stroke Lan Yu's tiger beard and see what he can do to me, hahaha!”
In ancient times, civil officials valued reputation, especially titles that challenged authority and were not afraid of power. They would fight for it no matter what.
Since Lan Yu was already a grasshopper after autumn, how could Song Yi not try to step on her?
Once he succeeded, he would be famous all over the world.
Even if he failed, he would only lose some face.
In any case, he was currently in prison and had lost all his face. He was not afraid of losing face.
"By the way, where are your relatives? Why haven't they come yet?”
"Soon!"
"They're probably already in the city and rushing towards us!”
While Song Yi and Qin Mu were chatting, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was as dark as water in an inn dozens of meters away from them. His hands were tightly gripping the windowsill, and his joints were protruding. Veins were popping out on the back of his hands.
"Preposterous!"
"This group of proud soldiers and valiant generals actually dared to resist the law with violence!”
"Also, why are those officials from the Ying Tian Prefecture so useless? They can't even deal with a few guards. We've really raised them for nothing!”
"Erhu!"
"Reporting to the Emperor, this subordinate is here!"
"Wait for another fifteen minutes. If these officers are still pulling their hips like this, bring the Embroidered Uniform Guards and tie up that Li Erleng and the thighs behind him!”
"Yes, sir!"
"This subordinate has already mobilized 300 Embroidered Uniform Guards and is already lying in ambush in the surroundings. We are only waiting for the Emperor's order!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head, confirming Erhu's work arrangement.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang's hawk-like gaze crossed the long street and landed on Qin Mu's tender face.
"Our poor eldest grandson!"
"Although you've already worked very hard and done very well, you're still a little too inexperienced.”
"You're just like your father. You're too kind and always think too well of others.”
"You screwed up now, right? You still need us to clean up your mess, hmph!”
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he suddenly felt the ground shake.
"Emperor, be careful. It might be an earth dragon turning over!”
The so-called earth dragon turning over referred to earthquakes.
The ancients didn't know that the movement of the earth's crust could cause earthquakes. They only thought that there was a dragon underground. When the dragon rolled over, it would cause the ground to shake.
Erhu couldn't help but carry Zhu Yuanzhang and run out.
However, just as the two of them ran out of the inn, they saw a shocking scene.
The originally bustling long street suddenly became still.
At the end of the long street, a group of men dressed in dark green clothes lined up neatly and ran forward.
With every step he took, he would shout out an earth-shattering slogan.
"One, two, one!"
"One, two, one!"
When he suddenly saw this scene in Nanjing, Erhu was scared silly.
This was even more terrifying than an earthquake. This was a mutiny!
"Emperor, someone is secretly mobilizing troops!"
"For the sake of the Emperor's safety, let's hurry back to the palace!”
The vendors and commoners on the street were already scared silly. They all made way and hid on both sides of the road.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and sized up the group of people.
He wanted to determine which army these people belonged to by looking at their uniforms.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of which army's uniform was dark green.
Just as he was about to listen to Er Hu's suggestion and return to the palace, he suddenly saw a familiar face in this group of people.
"Erhu, look at the person who blew the whistle. Is that the person we saw last time in Liu Village?”
"I remember that this child seems to be the son of the village chief. He even toasted us!”
After Zhu Yuanzhang's reminder, Erhu also recognized the leader.
"Emperor, I remember now. This person is called Liu Yue. I sent someone to investigate him in secret!”
"And Liu Yong and Liu Erhe in the first row. I've interacted with them before. They're all farmers from Liu Family Village!”
After confirming that these people were from Liu Village and were farmers, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer flustered.
However, with so many people suddenly barging into Nanjing, what were they trying to do? Were they trying to rebel?
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes again and said meaningfully.
"Let's see what these people want to do first!”
Liu Yue brought the young men of Liu Clan Village and passed Zhu Yuanzhang at the entrance of the inn. They passed by the peddlers and commoners on both sides of the road and ran all the way to Qin Mu's side.
This sudden situation scared the officials of Yingtian Prefecture so much that they kept retreating. The magistrate, Song Yi, was so scared that he turned around and ran.
Luckily, Qin Mu had been staring at Song Yi the whole time. When he saw that Song Yi was about to run, he caught him.
"Lord Song, don't be afraid. This is the relative we mentioned to you!”
"Ah!"
"Didn't you say that your relatives are farmers?”
"They are farmers!"
"Do you f * cking think I'm blind? This place is even more orderly than a military household, and you actually told me it's a farmer's household!”
"Lord Song!"
"They're really farmers. They have household registration as proof!”
"However, they are indeed more disciplined than ordinary farmers, but they can't be compared to military households at all. At most, they can be called local soldiers!”
While Qin Mu was pacifying Song Yi, Liu Yue had already led the three hundred strong men of Liu Clan Village to stand still and organize their formation.
"March on the spot!"
"Line up front and back!"
"Attention!"
"The local soldiers of the Liu Family Village have assembled. Please give us your instructions, Captain Qin!”
