Hearing this.
Zhu Zhan Xin revealed a meaningful smile." Lord Xia is wrong. They will definitely come today."”
"Not only will there be people coming to cause trouble, but it will also be even bigger than yesterday!”
Xia Yuanji was stunned and confused.
"Why do you say that, Your Highness?"
"There are Embroidered Uniform Guards down here. The number of people guarding here is not just a little more than yesterday.”
"Moreover, if the person behind the scenes is someone from the imperial court, they must have already known that we were investigating this matter after the commotion in the imperial court yesterday.”
"In order to avoid being discovered, they should be more cautious and not attack for the time being.”
"After all, as long as Your Highness doesn't find the mastermind, they can use this to deny the matter of the trade tax.”
Zhu Zhanxin used his fingers to move the teacup, making it spin gently on the saucer.
He looked at the Department of Education, which had buried a large number of soldiers not far away, and smiled."Of course I'm cautious, but…”
"They will definitely make a move."
Zhu Zhanxin spoke with absolute certainty, causing Xia Yuanji to frown and ponder for a while.
In the end, he asked in confusion," Your Highness, forgive me for being stupid. I don't understand. Why…are they still here to cause trouble?”
Zhu Zhan Xin didn't answer his question and only said,""Lord Xia, we'll just watch the show here. You'll know later.”
Xia Yuanji looked at Zhu Zhanshi's smiling but unfathomable expression and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
The Fifth Imperial Sun seemed to be getting more and more incomprehensible.
Naturally, Zhu Zhanmo did not know what Xia Yuanji was thinking. At this moment, Zhu Zhanmo was leisurely sipping tea.
After finishing his cup of tea, Zhu Zhan Xin couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In ancient times, the air was not polluted, and even the tea leaves were much better. With the sweet spring water to make tea, it had to be said that it was much better than the tea in modern times. However, compared to the tea leaves in the Crown Prince's residence, the tea outside was still a little inferior.
Compared to Zhu Zhanyi's leisurely manner, Xia Yuanji was somewhat unable to sit still. His anxiety was visible to the naked eye.
One had to know that whether or not they could find the mastermind was related to whether or not the business tax could be implemented.
And this business tax matter was the first task His Majesty had assigned him after he was released. If he messed it up, his future career would be bleak!
Just as Xia Yuanji was about to give up, there was finally some movement from the Department of Education!
Another group of commoners flocked to the Department of Education.
Compared to the previous time, there were fewer commoners this time, about twenty people.
However, the commotion they caused was not small at all.
The entrance of the Department of Education was relatively small. Twenty people were enough to surround the entrance of the Department of Education by two or three layers.
The commoners, who were dressed in coarse cloth and short brown clothes, all had angry expressions.
"Change the tax back! This is the rule set by the Great Ancestor!"
"Yes! The tax must be changed back! Otherwise, we won't stop!"
"And the people you took away yesterday, quickly release them!”
"Collusion between officials and businessmen! You clearly don't want to give us commoners a way out!”
"Release him! Shouldn't you officials protect us commoners? In the end, not only did they help those dog merchants, but they also detained us!”
"Is there any justice left? You raised the business tax and raised the merchants 'prices. You're not giving us a way out! Are we not allowed to resist?!"
The people were shouting so loudly that even Zhu Zhan could hear them from the teahouse.
When Xia Yuanji saw that these commoners were here to cause trouble again, he was so shocked that he stood up.
"Lord Xia, please calm down. We will just watch. It is not the time for us to step in.”Zhu Zhanxin looked at Xia Yuanji and comforted him.
Only then did Xia Yuanji realize that he had overreacted.
He took a look at the teahouse and found that many customers were looking at him. He immediately felt his face burning and almost lost his face. He hurriedly sat down.
At this moment.
The commoners at the entrance of the Department of Education had already rushed in.
Because of yesterday's incident, there were almost no merchants in the Department of Education today.
"What are you doing!"
"This is an important place of the government. You are not allowed to be impudent!"
The guards of the Department of Education hurriedly stopped this group of people.
"It's these dog officials! They are the ones who want to increase the business tax!"
"Let's charge in directly! If we don't resist, we won't be able to save those people yesterday!”
"Release him! Hurry up and let her go!"
The troublemaking commoners directly clashed with the guards of the Department of Education.
Just as the troublemaking commoners rushed into the Department of Discipline Inspection, the Jinyiwei came out from the Department of Discipline Inspection and surrounded the commoners.
Although this batch of Embroidered Uniform Guards was a relatively poor batch, none of them were to be trifled with.
Every Embroidered Uniform Guard was fierce and fierce, and the Flying Fish Robe on their bodies made countless people flee at the sight of them.
"How dare you cause trouble in the Department of Education!”
The leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards shouted coldly.
Who knew?
None of the twenty commoners were afraid. They glared at the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"We were all forced by you! If you didn't increase the business tax, we wouldn't have come to cause trouble!”
"Release them quickly. As long as you release them and change the tax back, we'll leave immediately!”
"Yes! Let her go!"
"A bunch of unruly people!" The leader of the Embroidered Uniform Guards shouted coldly," Take them all down!”
An order was given!
All Embroidered Uniform Guards, move!
However, none of the commoners retreated. They directly went up against the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
The commoners took the weapons they had stolen and started fighting with the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
The sound of cursing, the sound of clubs hitting flesh, the sound of people falling to the ground, the two groups of people directly mixed together!
Zhu Zhanxin's eyes darkened as he witnessed this scene.
Xia Yuanji was shocked by this shocking scene." Your Highness! Aren't we going to stop them? If this continued, something would really happen!”
"Those Embroidered Uniform Guards are all well-trained. How can the commoners be their match?”
"If this continues, I'm afraid people will die and there will be a big mess!”
Zhu Zhan Xin looked at the chaotic battle below and said in a low voice," Lord Xia, don't worry.”
"Your Highness!" Xia Yuanji was extremely anxious.
"If some commoners are killed, then these commoners will definitely cause an even greater ruckus!”
"It doesn't matter if there's someone behind this or not. If we don't stop it and kill the people, they won't be able to see the person behind this!”
"At that time, the people of the world will think that our Ming Dynasty treats the people like grass and publicly treats human lives with contempt in broad daylight!”
Xia Yuanji looked extremely nervous.
However, immediately after, Zhu Zhanmo turned to look at Xia Yuanji and asked directly," Lord Xia! Have you ever seen civilians fighting with soldiers in the capital?”
He was stunned for a moment.
Xia Yuanji seemed to have sensed something and answered instinctively," This is also the first time I've seen it in the capital.”
Hearing this.
Zhu Zhanshi smiled slightly, looked at Xia Yuanji and said directly," Then does Lord Xia still think that these people are real farmers?”
"Look, today's big show has begun!”
