The people all looked at Zhu Yunwen with awe. Perhaps Zhu Yunwen was right. In his eyes, there was no distinction between high and low, noble and lowly. Therefore, every commoner should be treated kindly.

They should all be taken seriously.

That's why Zhu Yunwen implemented a series of policies that benefited the people.

This moved the people even more.

Just then, the county magistrate, who was not far away, rushed over with a group of constables and yamen runners. He knelt down and said to Zhu Yunwen:

"Your Highness, please forgive this humble subject for arriving late to rescue you."

Zhu Yunwen's expression was somewhat unpleasant. He stared at the county magistrate and said calmly:

"I've only been in your Qingshui County for half a day, and someone's already trying to assassinate me. Shouldn't you give me some duct tape?"

The magistrate was already sweating profusely with fright and hurriedly said to Zhu Yunwen:

"Your Highness, I am unaware of this matter. Please investigate thoroughly."

Zhu Yunwen took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and then spoke softly:

"Go and begin the process of abolishing land annexation. I will handle everything else myself!"

After dismissing the magistrate, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu also left the scene.

Upon returning to the inn, he immediately ordered the Imperial Guards to investigate the matter.

With the Embroidered Uniform Guard under his control, Zhu Yunwen couldn't possibly be unaware of anything he wanted to know.

Nothing can escape the investigation of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Therefore, he needed to investigate thoroughly to find out who sent the assassin to kill him.

Although this incident may not have a significant impact on him, it must be investigated and dealt with severely; otherwise, such incidents will become commonplace in the future.

The Imperial Guards acted overnight, and all ten officers went out. With Zhao Qingzhu protecting Zhu Yunwen at the inn, there was virtually no chance of anything going wrong.

Zhu Yunwen slept relatively well that night, as he was deeply moved by the support and love shown to him by the people, and thus slept very well.

When Zhu Yunwen woke up the next morning, he heard a knock on the door.

He sat up straight and began to speak:

"Come in!"

A member of the Imperial Guard entered, knelt on the ground, and said to Zhu Yunwen:

"Your Highness, the matter has been investigated and clarified."

Zhu Yunwen frowned slightly and said:

"Oh, who sent someone to kill me?"

The Imperial Guard commander hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking:

"Prefect of Yongzhou Prefecture..."

Zhu Yuntong's face darkened. Prefect of Yongzhou Prefecture? Yongzhou Prefecture is the prefecture where Zhu Yuntong is currently located.

Qingshui County was under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Prefecture.

"Why did the prefect of Yongzhou send someone to kill me?"

Zhu Yunwen asked, and the Imperial Guard replied:

"The prefect of Yongzhou Prefecture also owns a lot of land and has very close ties with the local gentry and wealthy people. The reason he sent someone to kill His Highness is probably because His Highness's policies have infringed on their interests, so he sent someone to kill His Highness."

Zhu Yunwen shook his head slightly and said, "Things can't be that simple, can they?"

The commander of the Imperial Guards hesitated for a moment, then cautiously began to speak:

"Some other minor news and situations are not very clear."

Zhu Yunwen: "Tell me about it."

"According to some uncertain reports, the prefect of Yongzhou Prefecture seems to have some connection with Zhu Gang, the Prince of Jin in Taiyuan."

Zhu Yunwen narrowed his eyes, then revealed a cold smile and said:

"It seems that it's not just because of the abolition of land annexation; perhaps Prince Zhu Gang of Jin has a more reasonable reason for wanting to kill me."

At this point, he glanced at Zhao Qingzhu, who had just walked in, then smiled and said:

"If you have nothing else to do, come with me to Taiyuan."

Zhao Qingzhu paused for a moment, then nodded and said:

"OK."

Then Zhu Yunwen looked at one of the Imperial Guards and said to him:

"Pass on my order to the Ministry of Revenue in the capital. The Ministry of Revenue shall issue an order to the Ministry of Revenue to handle the land annexation and abolition policies in various localities. If any person does not cooperate and insists that the land belongs to them and should not be handed over to the court for unified distribution, then..."

The Ministry of Revenue was tasked with conducting a thorough investigation to determine if there were any issues with the source of their land. Those found to be problematic were to be severely punished, serving as a warning to others.

Furthermore, if any land was granted as a reward by the previous dynasty, this clearly tells them that the land granted by the previous dynasty is not recognized by the current dynasty.

The Imperial Guard bowed and then left.

Zhu Yunwen quickly packed up and then set off again with Zhao Qingzhu and some other Imperial Guards.

This time his goal was clear: to go to Taiyuan and meet his third uncle.

He wanted to see what his third uncle, who didn't have much time left to live, was still up to.
