However, Zhu Yunwen then asked:

"Very well, let's assume what you said is true. Two of my Ming citizens had a quarrel with the prime minister of your Baoxiang Kingdom, escalating the matter to a conflict between nations."

Ironically, my Prime Minister from Baoxiang Kingdom was threatened by such ridiculous remarks made by two ordinary citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and thus became angry. Although it may sound absurd, let's just assume it's true.

Then I have another question: what does their conflict have to do with your father's death? Are you trying to tell me that these two commoners of the Ming Dynasty killed your father over something like this?

"Then my Great Ming Dynasty is truly powerful! Even ordinary people are so capable, not only able to threaten the Prime Minister in a foreign land, but also able to kill him. I'm quite impressed."

The King of Baoxiang coughed, also finding the matter somewhat unbelievable.

The prime minister's son then continued to answer Zhu Yunwen's question:

"First of all, after my father had a conflict with two commoners from the Ming Dynasty, he hadn't gone far, maybe only twenty or thirty feet, when he was suddenly hit by some kind of hidden weapon. It's hard not to think that it had nothing to do with those two commoners from the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunwen nodded and said:

"I understand. So, up to this point, you've only been speculating. The so-called witnesses have only testified to the conflict between them."

"You didn't see the fact that these two commoners of the Ming Dynasty killed your prime minister with their own hands, did you?"

The prime minister's son hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Although there is no conclusive evidence, such suspicions alone should be enough, right? After all, no one present had a motive to kill my father."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded slightly, saying:

"Alright, putting that aside, he said that the two Ming citizens you mentioned earlier had a dispute with your father. What was the reason for this? The version I heard is different from yours."

The King of Baoxiang Kingdom immediately inquired:

"Oh, so His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty approved this matter?"

Zhu Yunwen said:

"That's right, I've heard it. The version I heard was that this man from the Ming Dynasty, accompanied by a very beautiful woman from the Ming Dynasty, encountered a servant of the Prime Minister of Baoxiang Kingdom."

Seeing that the Ming Dynasty woman was very beautiful, they had a plan. They led six or seven burly men to capture this beautiful Ming Dynasty woman and bring her back to their prime minister.

However, this woman from the Ming Dynasty was highly skilled in martial arts and easily defeated seven or eight burly men. After returning home, the seven or eight men told their prime minister.

The prime minister then led dozens of soldiers to come again, but to his surprise, these soldiers were all no match for the woman and were all defeated, leaving only the prime minister standing in place.

He even threatened the two Ming citizens, saying that they would not be able to leave Baoxiang Kingdom alive.

They then left, and it was only after they had gone some distance that the Prime Minister of Baoshan Kingdom suddenly collapsed and died.

No one witnessed these two Ming Dynasty officials committing the act, so which of these two versions is true and which is false?

The prime minister's son panicked and hurriedly said:

“Grandson of the Ming Dynasty, the version you heard is absolutely false. After all, the version I just described was actually witnessed by the soldiers under my father’s command. They would never lie to me. You believe what you hear, but these soldiers believed what they saw.”

Zhu Yunwen said:

"Is that so? Then do you dare to send your father's soldiers up here to confront me?"

The prime minister's son nodded and said:

"Of course, no problem!"

He had already told the soldiers how to describe the matter, so there was no need to worry about a confrontation in court.

Soon, six or seven soldiers arrived at the main hall.

After the soldiers came up, they kept their heads down and repeated the unbelievable scene that the prime minister's son had just described.

The King of Baoxiang Kingdom looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers who witnessed the truth of the matter have now recounted what they saw. Their testimonies should be taken as truth, right?"

The prime minister's son also spoke up:

"That's right, these soldiers have seen them, so what they say is naturally true, although Your Highness, the truth is somewhat unbelievable."

But as you yourself said, was that beautiful woman really that beautiful? And was she really that capable? That seems a bit far-fetched, doesn't it?

The king nodded and said:

"That's right, I think so too. I wonder what Your Highness, the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, thinks?"

Zhu Yunwen said with a smile:

Whether it can be taken seriously or not is another matter. Let these soldiers look up and see who I am.
