" No…" Empress Ma's voice was slower than Zhu Chen's speed.
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhu Chen had already killed all the criminals in front of everyone.
The smell of blood filled the air, making people feel nauseous.
The scene was silent for a moment, and then there was a commotion.
Erhu jumped out of the crowd and blocked Zhu Yuanzhang behind him.
His gaze was fixed on Zhu Chen, who was dressed in a green robe that was not stained with blood.
The surrounding commoners were also in an uproar.
"Murder…Prince Chen killed someone in front of the imperial censor!”
"Ah…Will Prince Chen be alright…"
"Raging for a beauty, Prince Chen is so heroic and handsome. I want to give birth to his children!”
"Ya! Such a handsome Prince Chen actually had such a tyrannical side to him…so handsome! I'm dizzy!"
"Well done, these bastards should have been killed long ago. Keeping them alive is a waste of the country's food!”
A one-armed man shouted, his eyes red.
"Those who eat veterans…deserve to die!”
"Prince Chen is right. Soldiers cannot be humiliated.
We have fought for the country and the people on the front lines,
I'm always on tenterhooks, licking blood on my blade,
To protect the country…Now, he couldn't even protect his own life, and he couldn't even protect his wife and daughter.
Then what was the point of protecting the country?”
As he spoke, the one-armed man was extremely furious. He stepped forward and took the knife from Zhu Chen's hand. He rushed over and stabbed the headless corpse a few more times.
Only when he was covered in blood did he laugh and leave.
Then, a few more people jumped out. They were either men with missing limbs or men with scars running through their faces.
They all glared at Zhu Yuanzhang.
They could accept anything.
However, he could not accept that he would be murdered after he was seriously injured and discharged from the army to protect his country. He could not even guarantee the safety of his wife and daughter.
They couldn't accept it.
None of the soldiers could accept it.
The scene was extremely chaotic.
Zhu Yuanzhang just watched silently.
Empress Ma tugged at Zhu Yuanzhang's sleeve.
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent.
Zhu Chen started laughing. His laughter was somewhat inexplicable.
"People, relationships, laws and regulations…"
"The law is dead, and people are alive…Why bother?”
Zhu Chen opened the folding fan in his hand again and narrowed his eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Lord Huang, you still want to punish the King?”
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at Zhu Chen and suddenly smiled."Will you plead guilty?"
"This King is not guilty, how can I plead guilty?"
Zhu Chen's long hair was slightly thrown back, and a smile appeared on his handsome face.
"Then how should I punish you?"
"Haha, in that case, farewell…"
Zhu Chen closed his folding fan, cupped his hands, and walked away with confident steps.
No one dared to stop him.
Even Xiao Hu was a step away.
How Zhu Chen attacked just now, he could not remember even if he racked his brain.
Fast, too fast!
It was so fast that it made Xiao Hu's hair stand on end, and the cold light pierced his back.
His vigilance from years of battle constantly reminded him of danger! It was dangerous!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Chen's back and was slightly stunned.
After a moment, he took a deep breath and looked at Wang Huamin and the Quanzhou magistrate.
"Investigate this matter…just as Prince Chen said…there is no need to pursue this matter!”
"If not…we will capture Prince Chen and bring him back to the capital!”
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he left with Empress Ma, who wanted to say something but hesitated.
Wang Huamin hurriedly nodded, while the Quanzhou Prefecture Magistrate was dumbfounded.
Wang Huamin rolled his eyes." This is His Majesty!”
"Plop!"
The governor of Quanzhou almost peed his pants.
Then, the two of them looked at each other. They knew that if they did not handle this matter well, their careers would end here.
The two of them quickly made arrangements.
He had to find out if Prince Chen was the one who said this.
……
Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the inn.
His emotions were a little complicated.
He was furious that his son dared to berate him.
He was furious that Zhu Chen dared to kill someone in front of him.
He was also gratified by Zhu Chen's ruthlessness, decisiveness, meticulous thinking, courage, and fearlessness!
He was also a little afraid that if things were really as Zhu Chen said, wouldn't he misunderstand Zhu Chen and feel guilty?
At the same time, he also felt regret for questioning Zhu Chen indiscriminately.
We should have investigated before going.
Sigh! Misstep, misstep!
This was the first time Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had made a mistake in all these years.
His decision-making ability had never been wrong before.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu in less than 15 years.
Perhaps it was this confidence that made him question Zhu Chen without much hesitation today.
But the result seemed to be beyond his expectations.
This made Zhu Yuanzhang hope that the matter was fake. Then, he would not have to feel guilty towards Zhu Chen and could even punish Zhu Chen.
He also hoped that the truth was as Zhu Chen had said. That meant that his son was not violent and bloodthirsty!
In any case, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was quite complicated at this moment.
He remembered that the last time his emotions were so complicated was during the battle with Chen Youliang at Poyang Lake.
Empress Ma, who was beside him, seemed to have sensed this emotion and called out,""Chongba!"
This 'Chong Ba' instantly pulled Zhu Yuanzhang back from his complicated thoughts, just like in the past.
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and smiled. He held Empress Ma's hand tightly.
"Sister, do you think we were wrong?”
"The Sage said: Who can be without mistakes?
Saints make mistakes, even kings make mistakes. Chongba, you're a human, isn't it normal for you to make mistakes?”
"Sister, why is it that the more you comfort me, the more uncomfortable I feel?？”
"This is not ChenQie's problem!”
"Hahaha…Yes, yes, it's our problem!”
