Although the King and Prime Minister's son of Baoxiang Kingdom did not understand why Zhu Yunwen wanted the soldiers to look up and see who he was, they did not understand his meaning.
But the king still addressed the soldiers:
“Look up and see who this is.”
The soldiers obediently looked up and then stared at Zhu Yunwen. The moment they looked at Zhu Yunwen, they were all stunned.
Zhu Yunwen smiled:
"Is the person you're talking about, the one who had a conflict with your prime minister on the street, me?"
Upon seeing Zhu Yunwen, the soldiers immediately exclaimed excitedly:
"Yes, it's you, it's definitely you..."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, including the princes of Chechi Kingdom who had originally been watching the spectacle. They were all taken aback by the sudden turn of events and were momentarily at a loss for what to do.
The most shocked were naturally the sons of the King and Prime Minister of Baoxiang Kingdom; they were still somewhat stunned.
The King of Baoxiang Kingdom spoke with some surprise:
"What's going on? Is that commoner from the Ming Dynasty, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
Zhu Yunwen did not answer, but looked at the soldiers and said:
"Is everything you just said true? You said that I declared on the street that the Ming Dynasty is not afraid of the Baoxiang Kingdom, and even intends to destroy it."
The soldiers nodded and said:
"No...yes, you did say that."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and looked at the King of Baoxiang Kingdom, saying:
"Do you believe it?"
The King of Baoxiang Kingdom was in a dilemma: should he believe it or not?
Seeing the King of Baoxiang's predicament, Zhu Yunwen spoke up:
"If you don't believe it, then this thing doesn't exist. But if you believe it, then this thing does exist."
Zhu Yunwen's words were very clear. If you really believe them, then I'll take it as if I did say such a thing. The Ming Dynasty destroyed the Treasure Chest Kingdom, and that was that.
If you say you don't believe it, then this didn't happen, and naturally nothing would be done to Baoxiang Kingdom.
Upon learning that the person who had the real conflict with the Prime Minister on the street was actually the grandson of the Ming Dynasty's Crown Prince, the King of Baoxiang Kingdom immediately realized that things were not so simple.
It's certainly not as simple as those soldiers and the prime minister's son made it out to be.
Zhu Yunwen went from being someone who had only heard about the incident to becoming a party involved.
Therefore, what he said was more credible than what those around him who saw it.
After all, as the grandson of the Ming Dynasty's crown prince, he obviously had no reason to tell such lies, let alone deny what he had said.
At least at this moment, when Zhu Yunwen questioned the King of Baoxiang with a hint of threat, it was clear that the Ming Dynasty was not afraid of Baoxiang.
Zhu Yunwen didn't care about breaking ties with Baoxiang Kingdom at all, so why did he refuse to admit what he had done before?
There's only one possibility: that it really wasn't done.
So the King of Baoxiang looked at the soldiers and angrily said:
"Speak! Tell me exactly what happened. Tell me honestly what you saw and what happened at the time. I will have someone investigate this matter afterwards, and if you have told even the slightest lie, I will not tolerate it."
Faced with the oppressive presence of the King of Baoxiang, the soldiers looked fearfully at my Prime Minister's son.
The prime minister's son gave them a look that was clearly a threat.
However, these soldiers were not fools. The reason why the prime minister's son had power and influence was because he was the prime minister's son. Now that the prime minister was dead, frankly speaking, it seemed that the prime minister's son might not have any power or influence in the future.
So it's not necessarily the case that they will pose any major threat to them.
However, the king of Baoxiang Kingdom was different. After all, he was the king. Even if the soldiers had to choose between the prime minister and the king, they would choose to listen to the king.
What's more, he's the prime minister's son?
Besides, his father, the prime minister, was already dead.
So the soldiers quickly weighed the pros and cons. They knew that if they told the truth, the prime minister's son might not be able to deal with them again in the future.
But if they don't tell the truth, and the king investigates and finds out the truth, then they're finished.
After some thought, the soldiers almost unanimously recounted the events in detail, which matched Zhu Yunwen's account perfectly.
The key point is that when Zhu Yunwen was telling the truth about this matter in the main hall, those soldiers were not there.
The fact that these soldiers are saying exactly the same thing as Zhu Yunwen at this moment can only mean one thing: this is the truth.
Otherwise, even if these soldiers wanted to lie and help Zhu Yunwen exonerate himself, not only would they have no reason to do so, but more importantly, they would have no way to establish a coherent lie.
So the truth is already clear: the prime minister condoned his servants to forcibly abduct women from the streets, including a woman who was close to Zhu Yunwen, the grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
Crucially, the woman beside Zhu Yunwen was highly skilled in martial arts. She resolved the situation, but in the end, the prime minister died mysteriously.
The King of Baoxiang Kingdom immediately looked at Zhu Yunwen apologetically and said:
"Grandson of the Ming Dynasty, I am truly sorry for this matter. I never expected that the Prime Minister of my Baoxiang Kingdom would be such a person."
Zhu Yunwen sneered and said:
"Is it because you didn't expect it, or because you don't want to admit it? If the Prime Minister of Baoxiang Kingdom can do such a thing in the street without any restraint, then you can imagine what his usual conduct is like."
As the King of Baoxiang Kingdom, do you really not know what kind of person he is?
