As the dragon carriage drove past, the people along the way bowed to the wind.
This was not only because of the emperor's majesty, but also because of the people's spontaneous love for the emperor.
When the commoners outside Nanjing saw the emperor's dragon carriage patrolling, they worked even harder.
In this day and age, there were not many things that could make the Emperor value.
Although they had military exercises in previous years, they had just found an empty space to fool around.
This year, not only would the drill ground be leveled, it was said that the scale was unprecedentedly large. Even the border troops and vassal kings would enter the capital.
It was said that the vassal kings who had entered the capital had already led their troops into the capital and were temporarily placed in military camps near the capital.
Now that the Emperor was personally patrolling, it was enough to prove that something big was about to happen.
It was very likely that the future heir of Great Ming would be born in this military exercise!
Amidst the cheers of the commoners, peasants, and officials, Xiao Hu sat in the dragon carriage with a conflicted expression.
The Emperor attached great importance to the military exercise, but he didn't have time to personally come down to inspect. He could only order Xiao Hu to sit in the dragon carriage and go out of the city to inspect.
Fortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige over the years was high enough that he did not need to personally appear. He only needed to let his dragon chariot spin once and no one would dare to fool him.
After the two tigers inspected, they returned to the palace to report to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After asking about the progress of the project, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped asking about it.
Although the military exercise was important, he had another important matter to attend to.
"Erhu!"
"Just now, your in-law, Jiang Feng, sent someone to tell us that they caught the tomb robbers from back then.”
"Ah!"
Erhu was stunned. When he realized who the grave robbers were, he felt that it was impossible.
There were only two days left until the time given by the Emperor.
He didn't expect that he would actually catch someone in the last two days.
That's impossible, right?
Could it be that Jiang Meng had caught a group of thieves and used them to fool the Emperor?
Erhu looked up and stole a glance at Zhu Yuanzhang. He saw that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be reading the memorial, but his hands had not moved for a long time, and the pen had not moved at all.
From this, it could be seen that the Emperor was really serious this time!
However, once they found out that this group of people wasn't even Jiang Meng, but Jiang Meng had casually caught them to fool around, that would be a huge crime of extermination!
What should he do? Should he plead for his cheap in-laws?
Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed very excited!
After waiting for ten years, they had finally caught that group of thieves!
Now, he no longer cared about what these people had stolen or what treasures they had taken. He only cared about whether these people could prove that his eldest grandson had come back from the dead!
Once these people confirmed that Xiong Ying hadn't died, then Qin Mu outside the palace would be his eldest son and grandson!
As long as this matter could be proven, the matter of the tomb being robbed would not matter!
Zhu Yuanzhang was too concerned.
He wanted to see this group of people, but he was afraid of seeing them, so he hesitated.
What if…
What if he got bad news from these people? Not only did they steal the treasury, but they also stole Xiong Ying's corpse and buried it somewhere else. How would he deal with Qin Mu then?
To be adopted as a grandson, or…
Zhu Yuanzhang did not dare to think about it.
Because this kind of loss was something he couldn't bear.
These days, he had gradually accepted the fact that Xiong Ying was his eldest grandson. He had even forgotten about Jiang Meng's one-month deadline.
Now that he suddenly heard this news, how could he not be upset?
"Erhu, you created the Jinyiwei. Tell us, did Jiang Meng really catch those thieves?”
When Erhu heard this, his forehead immediately broke out in sweat.
"Reporting to the Emperor!"
"I can't say for sure…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while before he sneered.
"You're getting more and more cunning."
"Kneel here. When we return from the Jinyiwei, we will deal with your problem!”
"If that in-law of yours dares to lie to us, you should be prepared to let your son remarry!”
"Ah…"
Xiao Hu's heart skipped a beat. Even he was on guard against him!
Erhu broke out in a cold sweat for his in-laws. He only hoped that this guy would not do anything stupid!
Zhu Yuanzhang had never been afraid to think the worst of people. Even for the people he trusted the most, he would still leave some leeway.
After Jiang Meng reported the news of the capture of the thief, he had been waiting for the Emperor to arrive at the North Town Administrative Office.
However, he did not wait for the emperor. Instead, he waited for the emperor's order to take over all the defenses of the North Town Office!
Seeing the Emperor's order, Jiang He had no choice but to obediently hand over the seal, even if he had ten thousand question marks in his heart.
After the 3,000 imperial guards entered the North Town Bureau and controlled both the inside and outside of the prison.
A golden carriage slowly drove into the Northern Garrison.
When Jiang Meng saw the carriage, he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly, shouting three times.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang only gave a faint "oh" and did not even look at him.
This made Jiang Qiong very nervous. She could only kneel on the spot.
Zhu Yuanzhang passed by Jiang He and entered the prison of the North Town Fu Department under the guidance of his trusted aides.
Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards had been established for more than ten years, this was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang had come to this place, and it was also his first time entering the Embroidered Uniform Guards prison.
"Emperor!"
"The prisoner you designated is in this cell. The other prisoners here have been taken to other places to be detained. I guarantee that no one will leak the secret!”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, showing his approval of his trusted aide.
"You can leave too. Without our orders, no one is allowed to enter the prison!”
"Yes, sir!"
"This subordinate will take his leave!"
After sending everyone away, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the three prisoners in handcuffs and shackles and fell into deep thought.
The huge pressure made the three grave robbers in the prison almost unable to breathe.
Those who were timid were so scared that they wet their pants.
Zhu Yuanzhang heard the sound of rushing water and gradually woke up. He spoke with a somewhat expectant tone.
"Do you want to die or live?”
