Countless people stared at Zhan Hui and Xu Zengshou in shock and fear.
But the moment they saw Zhu Ci 'an, they were shocked!
Then, the two of them were nervous. They trembled as they walked toward Zhu Ci 'an. Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Zhan Hui and Xu Zengshou quickly walked up to Zhu Ci' an.
Zhan Hui's expression was solemn. He respectfully held an imperial edict and said loudly,"Zhu Ci 'an, receive the decree!"
Imperial decree?
Everyone was shocked and quickly knelt on the ground. All of them lowered their heads and did not dare to move.
Zhu Cian's eyes lit up.
Yo, Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict came so quickly?
He didn't even kneel. He immediately cupped his hands and said,"Zhu Ci 'an, listen up!"
Zhan Hui was not annoyed by his disrespect to the Emperor. With a solemn expression, he began to read out the imperial edict.
"The emperor is in charge of the heavens!"
"Zhu Ci 'an has offered food to the imperial court to share the ruler's worries and relieve the people of their worries. The entire country has received his grace and has made immeasurable contributions. The emperor has given Zhu Ci' an iron ticket to avoid death.”
His voice was like a great bell that reverberated throughout the entire Ying Tian Prefecture!
After everyone heard this, they were all dumbfounded!
Especially Yin Tian Prefecture's Yin Zheng Wentao, he was greatly shocked!
Death…Death Exemption Certificate…
Did His Majesty really give the iron coupons to Zhu Cian?
This prodigal was just a lowly merchant!
What did he do?
With the iron coupon protecting him, wouldn't he be unable to complete the task that Huang Shi had given him?
The dream of hugging the royal grandson Zhu Yunwen's thigh was going to be shattered?
For a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zheng Wentao's mind.
What happened next shocked him so much that his jaw almost shattered!
After Zhan Huixuan finished reading the imperial edict, he did not care about his status and directly bowed to Zhu Cian!
This bow.
It was a tribute to Zhu Cian for saving thousands of victims from fire and water, and also a tribute to his own guilt for failing to govern!
"Young Master Zhu, I came down too late!"
"I really didn't expect that the dog official under my rule would be so insensible to actually bully Young Master Zhu!”
"Please don't blame me, Young Master Zhu!"
Zhu Ci 'an shook his head and smiled.”
As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Wentao and said,""Although this commoner didn't suffer any physical pain, it's fine if this Lord Gao framed this commoner for killing someone, but he even wanted to torture this commoner into confessing and put this commoner to death.”
"I would like to ask, are the officials of the Great Ming Dynasty always so indiscriminately trying cases?”
Hearing this, Zheng Wentao was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
He quickly looked at Zhan Hui. His mouth was trembling as he said,"Lord Zhan…this prodigal is slandering me!”
"Please…please listen to my explanation…"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhan Hui was already furious. He raised his hand and gave him a loud slap!
"Explain?"
"Hehe, do you think I will listen?!”
This slap was shockingly powerful!
Zheng Wentao was immediately dizzy from the slap, and half of his cheek was swollen.
However, Zhan Hui still felt that it was not enough to vent his anger. He raised his hand and slapped him again, directly slapping him left and right!
"Men, strip this dog official of his official clothes!”
"Zheng Wentao, from today onwards, you are no longer an official of my Great Ming!”
After saying that, someone immediately went forward and lifted Zheng Wentao up, stripping off his official robe.
Zheng Wentao's eyes turned black and he almost fainted.
He was dismissed?
However, Zhan Hui did not even look at him. He turned around and bowed to Zhu Ci 'an again. With a smile on his face, he said,""Young Master Zhu, you can leave now. When I investigate this case, I will definitely give you justice!”
Hearing this, Zhu Cian shook his head and said,""No need. This dog official owes this commoner justice. This commoner will get it back on his own.”
"Minister Zhan, can I take a look at the case file?”
Zhan Hui was stunned and could not help but ask in shock,"Young Master Zhu knows how to solve cases?"
Zhu Ci 'an smiled and said," I won't hide it from Minister Zhan. I know a little, a little."”Zhan Hui was skeptical and wanted to refuse, but he thought that the other party was someone His Majesty valued, so he said,"Men, present the case file to Young Master Zhu!”
Opening the file, Zhu Cian glanced at it and immediately said,""Minister Zhan, Wu Sanqian's death is very problematic!”
"What do you mean?" Zhan Hui's eyes flashed.”
Zhu Cian pointed to a place on the file and said,""Wu Sanqian's corpse was found in Huang Shi's residence, but after he was beaten up by the commoner, why didn't he hurry home to recuperate?”
"Also, Wu Sanqian is dead. Why is it Huang Shi's butler who came to report his death and not his family?”
"It's fine if his family didn't cry or make a fuss, but they didn't even go to court. There's only one explanation!”
Zhan Hui's eyes revealed a sharp light as he blurted out,"You mean…"
Halfway through his sentence, Zhu Ci 'an waved his hand and shook his head like a rattle-drum."I didn't say anything. I'm just a commoner. I don't have the guts to bite the Hanlin of the current dynasty.”
Zhan Hui's mouth twitched.
If you don't have the guts, how dare you not kneel when you see the imperial edict?
Xu Zengshou was shocked. He looked at Zhu Cian with admiration.
He realized that this guy in front of him was very capable!
To be able to solve so many problems just by looking at the dossier, those veterans in the Brocade Guard who had been solving cases for many years were probably just like this, right?
At this time, Zhu Ci 'an glanced at Zheng Wentao and suddenly said with a smile,""You two, even if you don't look at the dossier, I have a way to clear my name.”
Xu Zengshou was interested and asked,""What method is it? Young Master Zhu, tell me!”
Zhu Ci 'an chuckled and said," As long as I stab this dog official's butt three times, if he can survive the night and not die, I will be innocent."”
Hiss!
Zhan Hui gasped.
This idea was good, but it was a little wicked…
Dahai, who was standing behind them, smiled happily and said,""Young Master's methods are brilliant, this old servant admires, admires!”
This smile came from the bottom of his heart. After all, he had been watching Zhu Ci 'an grow up and had been influenced by him. He had long become a psychopath. After Xu Zengshou heard this, he slapped his thigh and hurriedly said,""I feel that since we've already stabbed him, why don't we stab this dog official five times!”
Zhu Ci 'an was stunned.
He looked up and met Xu Zengshou's admiring gaze.
At this moment, the two of them could see the mutual appreciation in each other's eyes…
Zhu Cian was excited!
This…this was a kindred spirit!
Xu Zengshou was also very excited. He quickly walked forward and shook his hand."Young Master Zhu, I feel like I've hit it off with you! How about we become sworn brothers later?"
