Soon, the foremen who had been taken away were called over again.

Only this time, they all looked at Zhu Jun in fear.

Zhu Jun held a thick stack of testimonies in his hand and asked: "Do you want to live or die?"

Everyone knelt on the ground one after another, "Please, His Highness, King Wu, spare your life!"

"This is no longer whether I want to spare my life or not, but what you have done is so unforgivable. Do you know how much revenue the imperial court earns from the treasury in a year?

In Zhongdu, the imperial court worked for at least two years in vain, and the people's support was the contribution of the people of the whole country.

Now, because of you, it's all in vain.

If I don’t kill you, why should the people be angry?”

"Your Highness, we are forced to have no choice. If we can work hard, who would be willing to do such a thing as beheading people and ransacking homes?" A foreman boldly said: "Your Highness, King Wu, please give me a chance to survive!"

Everyone begged for mercy.

Quin Mingsi sighed heavily. He was not tortured just now because he had a clear conscience and he did know this matter.

But he didn't dare to intervene and could only pretend that he didn't know what to do.

"Go and mark out the places with town objects for me. Find them. If you find one less place, I will kill one person!" Zhu Jun said angrily: "Don't blame me for not giving you a chance to survive. You are all in the industry.

Since the leaders here have the ability to suppress things, they can naturally find them and repair them.

If you do this well, I will keep you alive, and you will be able to receive a sum of money and go home happily.

If you can't do this well, you will be left here as a human sacrifice by me to eliminate the curse of the town!"

"Thank you, His Highness King Wu!"

"The villain can find it and fix it!"

Everyone kowtowed one after another, and the sound of kowtowing was loud for a while.

"Remember, don't try to escape. If one person escapes and joins the team, not one person will be killed, but your whole family will be killed!" Zhu Jun warned again.

"The villain understands!"

"Everyone go down, Cui Mingsi stays!"

The crowd disappeared like a tide, and Kuai Mingsi knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The villain is guilty!"

"You are indeed guilty, and you knew it but refused to retaliate. As the leader of the Xiangshan Gang, your behavior will undoubtedly push the entire Xiangshan Gang into a place of eternal doom!" Zhu Jun said.

"The villain understands, but the villain... is powerless. How can the villain disobey those noble people's orders?

If you disobey today, you will not know how the villain and his family will die tomorrow.

Even if we leave Zhongdu, there is no place for my Kuai family to stand in this colorful world!" Kuai Ming thought.

"Don't say you are so innocent!" Zhu Jun said: "The carpenter gang you led has a total of more than 2,300 people, and more than a hundred people were involved in this matter.

I will definitely keep those who have no involvement in this matter safe, but those who did, I will definitely hold them accountable afterwards.

But I gave them a chance to make amends, so there was a high probability that their lives could be saved, but there would be physical and mental suffering.

The court needs an explanation, and the people need an explanation!

I also know that you have grievances and have worked hard, and you have no place to talk about your grievances.

I also know that most of you are forced to do it.

But I will still select a few typical ones and send them to the guillotine.

Can you understand what I mean?"

Kuai Mingsi didn't understand why Zhu Jun said this, but he just said in a prostrate manner: "His Royal Highness the King of Wu is compassionate and kind, a villain who will never be forgotten!"

Zhu Jun saved them, they were just scapegoats in this fight.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I need you to provide a list, in your own name!" Zhu Jun said with a smile.

Kuai Mingsi was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted: Use your merits to atone for your sins!

"Yes, I understand!"

"You are a smart person. I like to communicate with smart people. When you go back, you will know what to say and what not to say, right?"

"The villain understands!"

"Very good. The Zhongdu Palace project is basically completed now. We don't need so many people. After we finish finding the towns, you can build the Xinfang District for me."

"The villain obeys your orders!"

"Don't look down on your face. I won't miss you in rations and money!"

Kuai Mingsi nodded, knowing in his heart that since King Wu made his words so clear, he would not lie to him.

He thought to himself that if King Wu had always been in charge of Fengyang, things would not be like this here.

After Kuai Mingsi left Wenhua Hall, he felt like he was reborn after a disaster, but his head was only temporarily left on his neck. If he wanted to completely save his life, he had to be more ruthless!

He looked at the soldiers patrolling the four walls. Every one of them was fully armed.

Anyone who dares to escape from the riot will be shot mercilessly.

Zhu Jun also breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He could only find out the town objects as much as possible and then repair them. This would inevitably cause damage, and it was estimated that a lot of money would be spent.

But it's unrealistic for him to pay for it.

Neither Xue Yang nor Wu Lang can escape.

There are also Li Shanren, Tang Ding... he has to notify everyone who has served as the prefect of Fengyang.

No matter how much money I ate, I spit it out honestly.

Not giving?

Then don't blame him!

...

In April, an urgent report from Fengyang was delivered to the palace!

In the past two months, Zhu Yuanzhang has also lost a lot of weight and is not as fat as before. Coupled with the weather getting hotter, he feels a lot more comfortable.

"Report, King Wu urgently reports!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he quickly put down what he was doing.

In the wheelchair beside him, Zhu Yu, who was reviewing the memorial, quickly put down his pen and said, "Quickly, please bring in the urgent report!"

The emergency report was quite thick. When I opened it, I found a lot of letters inside.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and found that there were ones for his wife, Zhu Yu, and even his eldest grandson. The one for him was a memorial!

"Humph, you bastard. He has been in Fengyang for almost two months and he has written a memorial to us. Is he decent?" Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy, but he still opened the memorial and read it carefully.

Seeing the calligraphy that looked like ghostly drawings, he was helpless, "Don't you know how to find time to practice calligraphy?"

Zhu Yu also hurriedly opened the letter written by his younger brother and read it carefully. After a while, the father and son put down the letter in their hands and both let out a sigh of relief.

"What did Lao Liu write to you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Tell me that everything is going well with him in Fengyang, training troops, supervising work, controlling floods, and the soldiers and civilians are all close to each other!" Zhu Yu said with a smile.

"This bastard not only robbed the city defense of the Huaixi General Manager's Mansion, but also detained Wu Lang in his own manor!" Zhu Yuanzhang cursed.

He knew about this matter long before Zhu Jun wrote the letter.

But the strange thing is that no one except some civil servants impeached him in this matter.

Many people even stood up to speak to Zhu Jun.

"Father, haven't they gone too far?" Zhu Yu said: "Fengyang Lake burst its embankment, and the sixth brother led the Suzaku Army to save more than 15,000 people.

Later, when the Huaihe River burst its banks, he led the Suzaku Army to form a human wall to save the people, saving countless lives.

The battle continued for five days and five nights.

Song Zhong said that the sixth brother united the people of Fengyang City to resist natural disasters and successfully contained the flood.

He also opened a court to avenge the people, took over the city defense and punished the Fengyang garrison.

Build a new square to provide homes for the victims."
