Several people were all panicked.

The man lying on the ground was originally lying there motionless, but after hearing what Xu Xianchun said, he became so anxious that he wanted to crawl away even more anxiously.

But the Jinyiwei just held him down and blocked his mouth, preventing him from speaking.

Glancing at the few people with disdain, Xu Xianchun held a knife in his hand and stared at them expressionlessly.

Those who hold the right to speak are so powerful. Whatever I say is the final word, and you are not allowed to speak.

"No, no!"

"No, I don't, we don't!"

Several people hurriedly shook their heads like wave drums.

Who would dare to admit such a thing?

If you admit it, you’re doomed!

Xu Xianchun pulled someone over and said, "Come here, tell me about yourself first. What's your name, where do you live, and what do you do for a living?"

"If you dare to tell even a single lie, you are a remnant of the Shandong White Lotus Sect. This time you are trying to stir up trouble in Jiangnan. You are taking advantage of Your Majesty's visit to Jiangnan to plot something bad and repeat the past events in Shandong."

Xu Xianchun said this in a very serious manner, as if it were a matter of course.

The person who was pulled out was almost scared to death.

Of course he knew about what was happening in Shandong. It had been a huge uproar back then. How many people died in the White Lotus Rebellion in Shandong? How many were exiled to Liaodong?

neither knows.

In fact, not many people were killed. Most of them were sent to Liaodong as exiles by Zhu Youxiao.

You know, there is no one in Liaodong now. If we don’t send some people there, we will have trouble living.

However, Zhu Youxiao also had other ways, such as attracting some Korean immigrants.

Of course, it was definitely not the poor people at the bottom, but those Korean immigrants who could write Ming characters and speak Ming dialect, who were relatively high-ranking people. For example, Yi Sun-sin was able to write poetry, and his poetry was quite good.

Those who speak Korean are inferior people. After Korea is taken over, it will just be a dialect. Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all.

The Ming Dynasty is so big, isn’t there a lack of dialects?

Then Cantonese and Mandarin are not the same thing, can you understand them? And what about Minnan dialect, can you speak it clearly? What's the point of having another Korean language?

Besides, if dialects don’t work, then let’s use minority languages. There will definitely be many ethnic groups in the future anyway.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care, it was just that the plan had not been implemented yet, but he believed it would be implemented soon.

However, these have nothing to do with the Jinyiwei. They are arrogant and domineering every day, and what they do is scary, so the situation in Shandong has been spread as a mystery.

Especially the scholars, after the incident with the Kong family, there was a panic among the people, and all kinds of messy people came out.

At that time, there were countless slanderous words against Zhu Youxiao. Jiangnan was a place where scholars gathered, so public opinion was stirred up. In addition, some people secretly fanned the flames, making the rumors even more incredible.

After all, Zhu Youxiao wanted to destroy the academy and a lot of knowledge, which made many scholars dissatisfied. Zhu Youxiao's reputation was very bad, so of course he had to spread rumors.

Even if there is nothing bad happening, I have to make something up for you. What's more, now that you have done it, I will naturally exaggerate and tell you again.

These literati in the Ming Dynasty, let alone exaggeration, even if they made up stories for you, they would make them sound realistic.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Youxiao killed people like crazy in Shandong.

As for the women's affairs, that was also fabricated. The fact that the emperor had many women in his harem had long been a consensus among everyone.

It's not uncommon for the current emperor to be fond of wine and women and to believe in Taoist priests. This is why Zhu You can scare people wherever he goes. He is simply notorious for his evil deeds.

Now Xu Xianchun used this to scare the people in front of him, and it worked immediately. If the Jinyiwei accused him of this, his entire family would definitely be killed.

The man quickly said, "Sir, I am Li Changsheng, from Yangzhou, and my family sells salt. Sir, please be careful, I am a law-abiding citizen!"

Xu Xianchun glanced at Li Changsheng with disdain in his eyes. He snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean? You are a good citizen? You didn't do anything? Are you saying that I am blind and wrongly accused you?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked by Xu Xianchun again.

Your shamelessness and lack of moral standards have exceeded our expectations. How dare you say such a thing?

But there was nothing he could do. Li Changsheng quickly said, "That's not my intention! Your Excellency is naturally wise and powerful, and can see through everything!"

"Of course. I am a wise and powerful man, and I see everything clearly. So tell me, what did you do wrong?"

Chen Changsheng was choked.

What do you mean I have done something wrong?

How do I answer this?

I have committed many crimes. Do I have to explain them one by one?

If I were to confess all of this, I might as well just admit to rebellion, which would be more satisfying.

"Is it a place where people hang out with fireworks?" Li Changsheng asked tentatively.

"Are you an official of the Ming Dynasty?" Xu Xianchun asked Li Changsheng.

"No, no!" Li Changsheng shook his head and said, "I have studied before, but I didn't pass the imperial examination. There is no way I can become an official now. I hope to find another chance in my next life."

"There's no chance in the next life." Xu Xianchun said disdainfully: "Since you are not an official of the Ming Dynasty, who cares whether you stay in the brothel or not? It seems that you are not honest either. Come on, drag you down and break both your legs."

After saying that, Xu Xianchun waved his hand impatiently.
