The further the King and Prince of Chechi Kingdom entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the more terrified they became.

They came to understand even more just how powerful Zhu Yunwen was.

If the fear of Zhu Yunwen in the past was simply because Zhu Yunwen held a high position and reputation in the Ming Dynasty and possessed the ability to manufacture high-end weapons.

Only now do we realize that the weapons Zhu Yunwen created were just one of his many achievements.

Even more incredible things are affecting every aspect of the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, under these circumstances, they were also very clear about what kind of consequences it would cause if the Ming Dynasty found out that Chechi Kingdom had indeed killed Zhu Yunwen.

The more Zhu Yunwen did for the Ming Dynasty, the more grateful the Ming Dynasty and its people became to him.

In this situation, if it were discovered that it was the prince and king of Chechi Kingdom who planned to kill Zhu Yunwen, then the Ming Dynasty and its people would never let it go.

They naturally understood this principle, especially now that they had arrived in the Ming Dynasty, so they were even more determined to keep this matter a secret.

From that moment on, they themselves began to firmly believe that they had not sent anyone to kill Zhu Yunwen.

This self-brainwashing and self-hypnosis was indeed effective; they quickly got into character and firmly believed that Zhu Yunwen's death had nothing to do with them.

So they quickened their pace, wanting to get to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible, hoping to clear their names, avoid war with the Ming, and help Zhu Gang become the heir to the Ming Dynasty.

In the future, the relationship between Chechi Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty can change from enemies to friends.

Moreover, they can go even further and achieve a situation where they mutually benefit from each other.

Thinking of this, the King of Chechi Kingdom was still full of joy and anticipation. As for Zhu Gang, he was also very concerned about the speed of the Chechi Kingdom's prince and king.

He also wanted to get this matter settled as soon as possible so that he could truly feel at ease.

Zhu Yunwen, who had a god-like perspective, saw all of this.

He was also a little anxious, and even looking forward to the exciting situation that was about to unfold.

After about two days, the father and son from Chechi Kingdom finally arrived in Nanjing.

After they arrived in Nanjing, only Zhang Shan, the Minister of Revenue, was responsible for receiving them.

Zhang Shan was absolutely convinced that the Kingdom of Chechi must have murdered Zhu Yunwen. After all, his subordinate, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had previously served as an envoy to the Kingdom of Chechi and was also absolutely convinced of this.

Although he did not actually hear the King of Chechi admit it, the Ministry of Revenue, being very loyal to Zhu Yunwen, still believed, based on their various deductions, that Chechi was responsible for the incident.

Despite the fact that Chechi Kingdom traveled a long distance to offer various explanations, humble themselves, and risk their lives in an attempt to clear their names of suspicion.

However, in the eyes of Zhang Shan, the Vice Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Revenue, all of these actions were just an act.

The more they act this way, the more it makes them seem like they're just trying to clear their name out of guilt.

Because they firmly believed that Zhu Yunwen's death was absolutely related to the state of Chechi.

Therefore, when the King of Chechi and his prince entered Nanjing, they were received by Zhang Shan, the Minister of Revenue, but he did not give them any kind of welcome.

He glanced at the king and prince of Chechi Kingdom and said indifferently:

"I have been ordered by the Emperor to escort the King and Prince of Chechi Kingdom to the palace for an audience with His Majesty."

The King of Chechi frowned, clearly dissatisfied with Zhang Shan's attitude. However, Zhang Shan did not give him any chance to express his dissatisfaction. Instead, he turned around, shook his hand, and left.

They didn't take the father and son from Chechi Kingdom seriously at all.

They didn't even give him a friendly look.

This made the King of Chechi frown and slightly displeased, after all, he was the king of a country and the ruler of the most powerful country in the west.

How could they be so contemptuous and disrespectful to a mere official?

This really made him somewhat unconvinced.

He then began to complain:

"Is this how the Ming Dynasty treats its guests? How dare you, the King of Chechi Kingdom, show me such contempt?"

Upon hearing his words, Zhang Shan turned around abruptly and said without any mercy:

"What right do you, the kings of a mere small country, have to speak of contempt? How laughable! You killed the grandson of the Crown Prince of my Great Ming Dynasty. Just for that grudge, it wouldn't be unreasonable to kill you all. Yet you still dare to stand here, hoping to gain the respect of my Great Ming Dynasty? Utterly ridiculous!"

Upon hearing this, the King of Chechi Kingdom angrily said:

"Nonsense! This is utter nonsense! When has my Chechi Kingdom ever killed your crown prince? Don't you consider the consequences of your wild tales?"

Zhang Shan sneered:

"The consequence is that you and your son will have to pay the price for the Crown Prince's actions. Rest assured, you will also pay the price. By walking into this trap and seeking death in my Great Ming, you should not think you can leave alive."

These words infuriated the King of Chechi. How could a king like himself be threatened by an official from the Ming Dynasty who was there to receive him?

To be honest, this made him quite upset, but what could he do about it?

Indeed, the Ming Dynasty has the right and the means to be arrogant.

They are so powerful. Even though they are just officials in the Ministry of Revenue, their influence is probably much greater than that of our so-called great power in the west.

Although he may not want to admit it, some things are just facts.

At this point, even the prince of Chechi Kingdom couldn't help but step forward to argue:
