The Ming Dynasty: Starting with the Somersault Cloud, Old Zhu was so envious he cried!

At this moment, Empress Ma, standing behind Zhu Ming,

Take in the entire scene before you.

She looked at Li Fengxian, who was kneeling on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

He then glanced at Li Fu, who was standing to the side with tears in his eyes.

Empress Ma's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

Oh.

acting?

With such petty tricks, you dare to show off your limited skills in front of her?

Who was Empress Ma?

She wasn't the kind of pampered young lady who lived a life of luxury in the inner palace.

In her youth, she endured hardships alongside Zhu Yuanzhang and fought alongside him to establish his empire.

She'd seen it all – the clash of swords on the battlefield, the intrigues and schemes in the imperial court.

Li Fengxian's little tricks were child's play in her eyes.

Not even as good as Yang Xian's acting skills!

Otherwise, how could they have tricked Old Zhu into crying his heart out?

With just one glance, she saw through the other party's scheme completely.

That old man is clearly putting on an act.

He was certain that Li Fu wouldn't dare betray him, so he deliberately staged this whole thing to make Li Fu wholeheartedly take the blame for him.

Poor Li Fu, he was sold out but he still acts all grateful and counts the money for the other person.

However, although she had seen through it and had a solution.

However, Empress Ma did not say anything.

Instead, she stood quietly behind Zhu Ming without saying a word.

She wanted to see how her precious son would handle the situation.

After all, Ming'er has grown up now.

There are some things he should face and resolve on his own.

As his mother, she couldn't protect him forever.

Today, let's teach him a lesson and give him some training.

Empress Ma pulled Xu Miaoyun back from speaking and shook her head at her.

Although Xu Miaoyun was puzzled, she obediently shut her mouth and stood silently to the side watching.

Zhu Ming seemed unaware of the commotion behind him.

He simply looked at the master and servant pair, who seemed to have a deep bond, with a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

At this time,

The area around Zhu Ming's location was already surrounded by people.

That guy, there were layers upon layers of people surrounding him, almost making it impossible to pass through.

Everyone craned their necks, their eyes glued to the center of the field.

I want to see how this mysterious Sixth Prince will interrogate the Li family.

After all, the Li family had been running rampant in this county for decades.

The people had long hated him to the core.

Now someone dares to touch the Li family.

Naturally, they wanted to come over and see what was going on.

Meanwhile, Zhu Ming, in the center of the arena, looked at Old Master Li and Li Fu kneeling on the ground.

Suddenly, the little guy turned around and faced the people around him.

Zhu Mingqing cleared his throat and, in his childish yet remarkably loud voice, asked the surrounding crowd:

"Fellow villagers present, I ask you, has anyone here been bullied by the Li family?"

"Or, does anyone know what the Li family has done wrong?"

"Today, I, Your Highness, am here to settle your scores!"

"As long as someone dares to step forward and expose the crimes of the Li family, His Highness will certainly give them a satisfactory answer!!!"

Zhu Ming's voice wasn't loud, but it resounded like thunder through the crowd.

Master Li originally thought he had Zhu Ming firmly under his control.

As long as Li Fu doesn't betray him, the Sixth Prince can't do anything to him!

The person is already dead, so where is the evidence?

This is what they call "dead men tell no tales"!

But he never expected that the Sixth Prince would act unpredictably.

Instead of interrogating Li Fu, they asked him if the Li family had done anything wrong in the area or if they had ever oppressed the people.

This caught him off guard.

As the head of the Li family, how could he not know what bad things he had done?

Li Fengxian's heart jumped into his throat.

The surrounding people were taken aback when they heard this.

Immediately, whispers began to circulate among the crowd.

"Why is Your Highness asking this? Are you perhaps going to make a decision for us?"

"Really? The Li family are practically the local tyrants in our county. Does the Sixth Prince really dare to touch them?"

"I doubt it. The Li family is so powerful; even if the Sixth Prince is a prince, I'm afraid..."

Shh! Keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you!

The people were talking amongst themselves.

You look at me, I look at you.

But not a single person dared to be the first to step forward.

After all, the Li family had been running rampant in this county for decades, and their power had accumulated over time.

The people were used to being bullied and had long been terrified.

Even with the Sixth Prince backing them up, they wouldn't dare to step forward easily.

What if His Highness the Sixth Prince leaves?

When the Li family retaliates, they'll be in big trouble.

So, although everyone hated the Li family to the core,

But not a single one dared to stand up.

Old Master Li knelt on the ground and took in the whole scene.

His anxiety subsided slightly.

No one dares to step forward?

Very good!

As long as no one comes forward to testify, even if the Sixth Prince wants to harm him again, he will have no evidence!

Old Master Li's eyes darted around, and he quickly seized the opportunity to loudly proclaim to Zhu Ming:

"Your Highness, you see, the fact that no one has stepped forward proves that I am innocent!"

"But my men were poisoned to death for no reason."

"I implore Your Highness to investigate thoroughly, to do justice for my men, and to uncover the truth!"

As he spoke, Old Master Li couldn't help but squeeze out a few tears, looking as if he had been wronged.

Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was actually burning with anxiety inside.

He wanted to quickly divert Zhu Ming's attention elsewhere.

But no matter how clever his plan was, it was useless.

Because Zhu Ming simply didn't buy into his act.

The little guy slowly turned his head, looked at Old Master Li, and said calmly:

"Li Fengxian, you've probably misunderstood something."

Old Master Li: "???"

He paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked:

"Your Highness... what do you mean by that?"

Zhu Ming looked at him, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Whether your men live or die is none of my business, and I don't care about their lives."

"There's only one thing I've always cared about: within the borders of the Ming Dynasty, I will not allow anyone to exist more arrogant than me!"

When Old Master Li heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.

What does it mean to say that within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I will not allow anyone to exist more arrogant than me!

Sixth Prince, aren't you being far too domineering?

Old Master Li's face instantly turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.

He finally understood that the Sixth Prince had always wanted to destroy the four great families, and he was the first to step forward.

The Sixth Prince can use him as a testing ground!

at this time,

Zhu Ming turned around again and faced the surrounding people.

Looking at the timid and cowering crowd around him, the little boy said in a loud voice, "Fellow villagers, please rest assured, I am here on the Emperor's orders to stand up for you."

Zhu Ming paused at this point.

Then, the little guy held up three little fingers and said, word by word:

"I'm here to do three things."

"fair."

"fair."

"It's still fucking fair!!!"

The voice just fell,

The surrounding people immediately erupted in uproar.

"Well said!"

"Sixth Prince, you are mighty!"

"Fairness! We want fairness!"

The people shouted excitedly, their faces flushed red and their eyes glistening with tears.
