As soon as he finished speaking, he brought his knife down hard with a clang. Many people present couldn't bear to look and turned their heads away.
However, the next moment, another bang was heard.
Immediately following was a man's scream that echoed throughout the surrounding area.
When everyone looked again, they saw that the Axe Gang leader, with his strong body, was sent flying backwards like a kite with a broken string, flying a full seven or eight zhang before crashing heavily to the ground.
Then, with a loud "whoosh," he spat out a mouthful of blood. The next moment, he looked at Zhu Yunwen in disbelief.
There stood a petite, slender, yet very beautiful woman.
The Axe Gang leader was shocked. Others might not have seen it clearly, but he knew that in that instant, the woman had simply kicked out, and his 100-kilogram body had been sent flying.
This shows just how powerful and terrifying that woman was.
Just as everyone was in utter shock, Zhu Yunwen slowly spoke, saying to Magistrate Zhou:
"Tell me, why do I dare to presume to change the current state of officialdom? Then I will answer you..."
As he spoke, he took out a golden token from his person.
The words "Grandson of the Emperor" were clearly engraved on it.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yunwen spoke:
"Because I am the Crown Prince, I wonder if I have the ability to change the current state of officialdom that you speak of?"
Everyone present was stunned when they saw the token in Zhu Yunwen's hand and heard what he said.
Especially County Magistrate Zhou, who looked at Zhu Yunwen with disbelief, then said with trembling lips:
"The...the Crown Prince? You...you are the Crown Prince?"
Zhu Yunwen put away the token and said calmly:
"That's right, I am the current Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen."
County Magistrate Zhou's body suddenly went limp, and he slowly knelt down on the ground. His hands and feet trembled slightly, and he felt utterly desperate.
He was not afraid of Magistrate Zhu, who saw through his schemes and even tricked him into his schemes.
However, if it were the Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen, then those few words alone would be enough to instill fear in him.
Who in the world doesn't know the grandson of the Crown Prince, Zhu Yunwen?
As an official in the county government, he was naturally a household name.
He knew of the Crown Prince's ruthless methods and how powerful he was.
Therefore, he could still offer some sophistry when facing Magistrate Zhu, but when facing the Crown Prince Zhu Yunwen, he had no confidence or assurance whatsoever.
So he could only slowly kowtow: "This sinful subject greets His Highness the Crown Prince..."
Zhu Yunwen stepped forward, looking at County Magistrate Zhou kneeling on the ground, then at the surrounding officials and soldiers of the county government, all kneeling on the ground, before slowly speaking:
"One thought can lead to heaven, another to hell. How many people in this world are born with an easy life?"
You just said that the official robe I'm wearing is worth two taels of silver, implying that I come from a good family.
"So, after you know who I am, will you still think that way?"
County Magistrate Zhou felt as if something was blocking his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
Because of what Zhu Yunwen said, he only needed to think about it in his mind to find the answer.
