Chapter 96 Clearing Obstacles
The sign that Zhu Chong threw out was very thin, and at first glance it was impossible to tell what it was made of.
But anyone who can read can recognize the words written on it.
Zhu Chong, the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty!
These six big words were like a thunderbolt, which shocked everyone present.
This is the imperial disc of the Ming Dynasty, an item used exclusively by the royal family to prove their identity. It can be said to be the only one of its kind in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Chong's name is well known to everyone in Yingtian Prefecture. Everyone knows that this gentleman is the tyrant of Yingtian Prefecture.
However, given Zhu Chong's rank, he usually wouldn't go to a trivial government office like the Baochao Tizhusi to cause trouble.
But Ye Song and the others soon figured out the key to this. Their expressions suddenly became as if they had seen a ghost, and their whole bodies began to tremble violently like sieves.
"You've all recognized me, right? Do I have the right to punish you now? Speak again!"
There was dead silence in the audience, and all kinds of complicated emotions surged on everyone's face.
Shock, fear, anxiety, astonishment, anger, hesitation, loneliness, despair...
Various emotions filled everyone's face. Everyone's eyes were wide open, and their eyeballs seemed to be about to fall out. Including Ye Song, everyone's eyes showed despair.
"Your humble servant greets you... greets you..." Ye Song knelt down tremblingly, but this time he was not willing to do so, he was completely scared.
"Don't yell, I'm the Director of the Treasury and Banknotes Administration, not His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin. Remember this!"
Zhu Chong smiled slightly, looking at the frightened people in front of him, and grinned.
He actually doesn't like to bully others by taking advantage of his power, but if he doesn't use some extraordinary means to deal with this group of old foxes, he is afraid that he will not be able to control the situation of the Baochao Tizhusi in a short time.
Old Zhu threw him to the Baochao Tizhusi, but Zhu Chong had spent a lot of effort to "beg" for it, and he couldn't let these old foxes ruin Zhu Chong's plan.
Since he came to the Baochao Tizhuo Division, Zhu Chong must have wanted to complete his original plan as soon as possible. He originally thought that he would have to go through some trouble to see clearly the interpersonal relationships within the Baochao Tizhuo Division.
Unexpectedly, Ye Song and his gang were so impatient that they couldn't wait to jump out on his first day at work, wanting to give him a warning. So don't blame Zhu Chong for counterattacking them.
Even though Zhu Chong was now deprived of all the treatment of a prince by Zhu Yuanzhang, who would dare to think that Zhu Chong, who was demoted to a commoner, would never make a comeback?
He is the prince's younger brother, Zhu Yuanzhang's second son, and the apple of Empress Ma's eye. Anyone who dares to disrespect Zhu Chong will be like a birthday god hanging himself, tired of living!
No one would question Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards Zhu Chong. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang himself was an erratic emperor. An official of Ye Song's level, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's own son right in front of him and thinking about his own actions just now, wanted to die.
At this moment, Qi Fei and Lin Xiang's faces turned blue and white, and they regretted their actions. Their bodies were soaked with sweat more than once.
"I, your humble servant, was blind and did not recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me, sir!"
"Please be merciful, sir. I will obey your orders from now on."
Without any hesitation, in front of Ye Song, the two officials of the Baochao Tizhusi faced the reality and completely surrendered to Zhu Chong.
The situation was pressing and they had no choice but to surrender. Zhu Chong could kill their entire family with just one word. This was no joke.
Old Zhu would often execute nine generations of a person's clan, so no one would think that Zhu Chong would be more merciful than Old Zhu.
Seeing that Qi Fei and Lin Xiang were backing down, the others also quickly knelt on the ground. Ye Song heard the begging for mercy behind him and closed his eyes in pain, knowing that he was completely doomed today.
No wonder my superior is so wary of the newcomer. No matter how much I ask, he won't say a word and tells me to be honest and cooperate with him. So this is the reason!
Now, Ye Song is regretting that he almost lost his life because of his anger.
Zhu Chong looked at the large group of people kneeling down in the audience, and his mood finally improved. He stood up and walked to the audience, slowly taking back his treasure disc.
"Alright, stop kneeling, get up, and go do what you need to do. I've always been kind, do you understand what I'm saying?"
After hearing Zhu Chong's words, Ye Song and others looked dejected. They understood the deep meaning of Zhu Chong's words.
This meant that they should go to the Ministry of Personnel to resign, pack up their things and leave quickly, otherwise don't blame Zhu Chong for being ruthless.
This is indeed the style of the Zhu family. Of course, Ye Song and the others are asking for death. This is the result of being dishonest and disobedient!
However, what surprised Zhu Chong was that after he saw Ye Song and others leave in a daze, there was actually another person standing in front of him.
It was hard to tell the man's age, mainly because his presence was too low and he was short and thin. Zhu Chong had never noticed him before because he was standing behind the doorpost inside the house.
"Why don't you go with them?" Zhu Chong looked at the man with a playful smile.
"In reply to your Excellency, I am the governor Zhang Quan. When your Excellency asked me just now, I was not with them."
"I only do my job in the government office and never get involved in other things. If you are willing to trust me, I am willing to serve you."
Hearing Zhang Quan's words, Zhu Chong was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a wonderful person in the Baochao Tizhusi.
I have just arrived and I really lack someone who understands the situation. He did not go along with Ye Song and his gang just now. So, he is worth using.
But Zhu Chong still wanted to give this person a try.
"Aren't you afraid of death?" Zhu Chong said with a sinister smile, "Working with me is very dangerous!"
"Your Excellency," Zhang Quan said, bowing. "I have no connections, no support, and I have parents and children to support. Without the salary from the Treasury and Banknote Administration, I'm afraid my family won't even have enough food and clothing for the next month."
"So, I am not afraid of death. As long as you can use me, I will not hesitate to die!"
"Interesting." Zhu Chong slightly raised the corner of his mouth. No matter whether what Zhang Quan said was true or false, Zhu Chong didn't care. He had already decided to use Zhang Quan.
It was not only because he was in the Baochao Tizhusi and needed someone to help him, but also because of the first impression.
This is similar to a blind date. Under the same conditions for men and women, the first impression when meeting is very important. If the first impression is not good, then any subsequent discussions on conditions will be in vain.
"Okay, since you're not afraid of death, then stay for now." Zhu Chong smiled faintly, "But let me be frank. If you follow me, don't even think about getting promoted or getting rich. If you make a mistake, you could lose your head, and that's your whole family's!"
"I will do my best to live up to your expectations!" Zhang Quan thanked Zhu Chong without any hesitation.
