"Your Highness, we caught a few!"
The person who walked in spoke without any rhyme or reason, and Xia Yuanji could not help but be a little stunned.
He could understand every single word, but why couldn't he understand them when they were put together?
Caught? What did he catch?
"Your Highness, did you ask them to capture someone?”
Zhu Zhanxin did not answer Xia Yuanji, but said to the person who came in to report,""Thank you for your hard work."
The person dressed in civilian attire was a simple and honest young man. He scratched his head when he heard that." Your Highness, you're too serious.”
However, although the young man looked simple and honest, it would be a big mistake to treat him as a sincere and kind person.
Zhu Zhanmo stood up and patted his robe to loosen his body.
After all, he had sat for too long today, and his bones were a little weak.
"They are all in the imperial prison?"
"Yes, they're all guarding there."
Xia Yuanji was even more confused." Your Highness, did you discover something? The one who was caught is…"
Zhu Zhanmo interrupted Xia Yuanji and asked,""Sir Xia, are you tired? If you're not tired, why don't you accompany me to the imperial prison?”
After saying that.
Zhu Zhanmo did not bother about Xia Yuanji and walked straight towards the Imperial Jail.
Xia Yuanji had a dumbfounded look on his face. He had just come out of the Imperial Jail not long ago, so he knew everything that was inside. There didn't seem to be anything special.
Why did the Fifth Imperial Sun want to go to the Imperial Jail now? Could it be that the kid just said that he had caught someone?
He really couldn't understand, so Xia Yuanji simply followed Zhu Zhanyan to the Imperial Prison.
He would probably know when he went to take a look later.
The young man led the way in front, with Zhu Zhan Xin walking in the middle.
The closer he got to the imperial prison, the more Zhu Zhanyan felt that the air was a lot more oppressive.
When the three of them arrived at the gate of the Imperial Jail, there were four burly men guarding it.
They were all wearing flying fish clothes and looked dignified.
Because the Brocade Guard was not only the sword in the hands of the emperor, but also the honor guard.
Sometimes, the Jinyiwei would act as a guard of honor and follow the emperor out.
Therefore, there were no ugly people in the Brocade Guard. Every one of them looked like a human when they were brought out.
However, although these four burly men all looked dignified, their brows were filled with killing intent.
Obviously, he was not someone easy to get along with.
"Your Highness, Fifth Imperial Sun." The four burly men bowed when they saw Zhu Zhanxin, but their tone was not respectful at all.
Zhu Zhan Xin did not care. The Brocade Guard was very arrogant. Moreover, their leader was Zhu Gaosui. It was normal for them to act like this.
Slightly nodding his head, Zhu Zhan lifted the tail of his clothes and stepped into the imperial prison.
Upon entering, Zhu Zhan Xin felt that this place was like a different world from the outside world.
The air was heavy, and a faint stench could be smelled.
It was the smell of decay mixed with the smell of blood.
The deeper they went, the stronger the unpleasant smell became.
The young man walking in front didn't even flinch. Although Xia Yuanji had just been here, he still couldn't help but cover his nose.
Only Zhu Zhan Xin, who was the first to arrive, had the same expression.
The simple and honest young man looked at Zhu Zhan Xin with some surprise and thought highly of Zhu Zhan Xin in his heart.
Zhu Zhan Xin smiled as he looked at the young man.
Since he was determined to seize the throne, he would have to go to the battlefield in the future. At that time, the situation on the battlefield would only be a hundred times more uncomfortable than this imperial prison.
Therefore, Zhu Zhan Xin had to force himself to adapt.
The color of the stone bricks under his feet was very dark, as if they were stained with blood. After a long time, the blood had turned black, so the color of the stone bricks had also become so dark.
In the cells on both sides, after Zhu Zhanxin and his group walked in, everyone inside stood up and looked at Zhu Zhanxin and his group.
Some gazes were filled with malice, some were filled with anger, and some were hiding a little hope.
All eyes fell on Zhu Zhanyi, but he remained unmoved.
Zhu Zhanxin roughly scanned the situation of the cells on both sides.
No wonder people said that the imperial prison tortured people, and their expressions changed at the mention of it.
The cell was very small, and the people locked inside had very little space to move around.
Each of them had a thick iron chain tied to their hands and feet, and the iron chain extended into the wall.
The floor was hard and cold, and the so-called bed was just a small piece of straw.
The few of them walked for a while and entered the innermost part of the imperial prison.
That was the interrogation area where the Imperial Jail interrogated prisoners.
As soon as Zhu Zhanxin entered, he saw a few people dressed like commoners standing inside. One of them was a scholar!
The few of them were obviously a little flustered.
This was especially so in the interrogation area. Although there was no rancid smell in the air, the smell of blood was thicker and filled with killing intent.
There were even all kinds of torture tools beside them, some of which were even stained with blood.
Xia Yuanji was a little stunned and didn't understand what was going on. He asked,""Your Highness, these are the ones we caught. Who are they?”
Zhu Zhanxin did not care about Xia Yuanji. Ever since he entered this place, Zhu Zhanxin's expression had been very serious, and his eyes carried a heavy sense of oppression.
He directly sat down on the only chair and asked the young man in a deep voice," Tell me, why did you capture them?”
Without waiting for the young man to speak, the only scholar among the panicking commoners suddenly spoke.
"That's right! Why did you capture us?"
"Even if you're officials, you can't arrest us for no reason!”
"Let us go!"
The young man frowned and shouted coldly," How dare you! How dare you be so impudent in front of His Highness the Fifth Imperial Sun!”
The few of them were stunned for a moment. The scholar paused for a moment before continuing,"So what? Can the Fifth Imperial Sun arrest people indiscriminately?”
Zhu Zhanmo swept a cold glance at the scholar, with a thick warning.
The scholar who was facing Zhu Zhan Xin could not help but tremble, and actually could not say a single word.
Seeing this, the young man cupped his fists and replied,"Your Highness, I noticed that these people are acting strangely.”
Zhu Zhan looked at the young man." How is it strange?”
" They were obviously dressed as ordinary farmers and lived in ordinary houses, but the strange thing was that they barely did any work.”
"He's been wandering outside all day."
"If you say he's unemployed, he doesn't look like one.”
"Moreover, these people have a good relationship and often contact each other, but they don't have a good relationship with their neighbors. To be precise, their relationship with their neighbors is very indifferent.”
"It's fine if it's a few of them, but it just so happens that a few people who often contact each other are like this.”
"Moreover, when they wander outside, they often go near the Department of Education and secretly ask about the Department of Education.”
"They seem to be observing the situation in the Department of Education.”
When the young man said that, the faces of the people dressed like commoners instantly turned even paler.
When Zhu Zhan Xin heard this, his eyes also slightly focused, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face. His gaze once again fell on these few people.
