Yongle Emperor's grandson: Zhu Yuanzhang with cheats, Zhu Di went crazy

Chapter 36: Black-robed Prime Minister Yao Guangxiao (Seeking follow-up reading and investment)
"My name is Ah San, and I am a thief. Someone gave me thirty taels and asked me to come here and take you away."

Ah San's eyes moved slightly, and he said something that made everyone present roll their eyes.

There really are such stupid people in the world who dare to kidnap the emperor's grandson for thirty taels of silver. Even an idiot wouldn't have such courage.

Please, even if you lie, you have to find a reliable number. Even if you say 30,000 taels, we will believe it. Who are you mocking with 30 taels?

Zhu Zhanjun stared at Ah San for a while. He didn't get angry. Instead, he asked again, "Who offered the price? Did they tell me the purpose of arresting me?"

Ah San lowered his eyes, "I don't know. I was unwilling to take this job. After all, you are the grandson of the crown prince. If I were to attack you and it was discovered, it would be a serious crime that would lead to the execution of all nine generations of my clan."

"But they have something on me, and I have a lot of gambling debts. I need these 30 taels of silver urgently, so..."

"But I was cautious and knew it was a big sin, so I secretly followed them when they left, but I lost them on the main street."

"But while I was following them, I heard them mention three words a lot. They seemed to be talking about golden lotus seeds..."

Zhu Zhanjun smiled. This guy was not stupid. He even knew how to flatter in order to suffer less physical pain.

But Zhu Zhanjun was pleased with the flattery and patted Ah San on the shoulder, "Your life is saved. Where will they let you go after you capture the people?"

Ah San heaved a sigh of relief and said quickly, "They asked me to take you to the foot of Jiming Temple, saying that someone would meet you there."

"Lock him in the room and don't let him die." Zhu Zhanjun waved his hand, and Hanzi and another guard blocked Asan's mouth and took him into a room next door.

"Your Highness, Jiming Temple is where the Imperial Master lives. Could this matter be related to the Imperial Master?" Xiaohu expressed his guess.

Zhu Zhanjun ignored him and ordered: "Go and chop off the leader of the guard today."

"Yes."

Xiao Hu responded and was about to go with his sword in hand, but after taking a few steps, he turned back in confusion: "Your Highness, what next?"

Zhu Zhanjun rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go back to sleep."

"Your Highness, can still sleep after such a big thing happened?" Looking at Zhu Zhanjun who yawned and returned to the room, Xiaohu scratched his head in confusion.

"Oh oh oh……"

The big rooster in the imperial farm stood on the wall and crowed loudly at the rising red sun in the east.

Zhu Zhanjun yawned and walked outside while tying his belt.

"It's time to find a maid. It's too much trouble to wash, dress and comb my hair."

Zhu Zhanjun muttered to himself and casually washed his face in the basin brought by Xiaohu.

Zhu Zhanjun took the towel from Xiaohu and wiped his face while asking, "That guy with the braces is not dead, right?"

Xiaohu, who was helping Zhu Zhanjun put away his clothes, replied, "He's alive and well. I just went over to take a look and he was still snoring."

"hehe."

Zhu Zhanjun chuckled and threw away the towel, "Take him with you, let's go to Jiming Temple." Xiaohu's eyes lit up, "Your Highness, do you also think that what I said is right? This matter is inseparable from that old monk."

Zhu Zhanjun glanced at Xiaohu, who was full of excitement and looked like he had guessed it right, and patted him on the shoulder. "You think too much. I just heard that the vegetarian food there is good, so I went there for breakfast. If it's really delicious, I'll eat there for a few more days to satisfy my craving."

Xiaohu:? ? ?
A carriage guarded by dozens of people slowly went towards Jiming Temple.

These guards were holding various weapons and looking around vigilantly, with expressions that showed they would rush over immediately if there was any sign of trouble.

It’s not that these people are so elite, but that they are scared.

The second prince's grandson was almost kidnapped last night.

My God, when they heard the news, they were almost scared to death.

If the second prince's grandson was captured in the imperial farm, given the emperor's violent temper, even if a great immortal came, he would not be able to save their lives.

Their leader was chopped off, but no one present had any objections. Instead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Because this shows that His Highness has temporarily let them go and put all the blame on them.

Just now, when they heard that His Highness was going to Jiming Temple, a group of people didn't even think twice and directly guarded the carriage with weapons, intending to protect His Highness with their lives.

Even the young eunuch who was in charge of the village was holding a dagger in his hand and looking around vigilantly.

Under the protection of the crowd, the carriage swayed slowly to the Jiming Temple where the bells were ringing.

"I have met His Highness."

The young monk who received the news bowed respectfully to Zhu Zhanjun who got off the carriage.

Zhu Zhanjun looked at the temple and asked with a smile, "Little Master, has the Imperial Master woken up?"

The young monk quickly replied, "The Imperial Master is reciting the morning prayers. He heard that you wanted to have breakfast, so he asked me to lead you to the dining hall first. He will be there soon."

Zhu Zhanjun nodded slightly and walked up the mountain.

Xiaohu and several guards of the imperial farm were behind, carrying Asan, who was tied up like a pig, on sticks, and followed closely behind Zhu Zhanjun.

Zhu Zhanjun did not go to the dining hall as arranged, but went to the hall where the old monk was chanting.

Smelling the faint scent of incense and listening to the pleasant sound of chanting, Zhu Zhanjun felt inexplicably calmer.

When he arrived outside the main hall, Zhu Zhanjun did not go in. Instead, he stood at the door and watched the old monk in black chanting.

The old monk seemed not to notice the visitor and continued to chant sutras silently. It was not until a bell rang that the old monk opened his eyes, bowed to the Buddha statue, stood up, looked at Zhu Zhanjun and said with a smile: "You little guy, you came to my place not just to have breakfast, right?"

Zhu Zhanjun put his hands together and bowed, then smiled and said, "Master, if you are interested in me, you can just tell me. Why bother sending people to kidnap me? It's too much trouble. As soon as I knew you wanted to see me, I came to you myself."
