Yang Pu quickly nodded and said:
"Your subject understands!"
The three of them then nervously examined Zhu Yunwen's face. After a moment's hesitation, Yang Shiqi finally spoke:
"Your Highness, what...what does this mean today???"
They worried that Zhu Yunwen had no intention of continuing the work.
Zhu Yunwen, however, smiled calmly and said:
"In the present Ming Dynasty, there is nothing that needs special attention, so I want to live my own life for a while."
Hearing this, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, and Yang Shiqi finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Zhu Yunwen would suddenly quit and say he didn't want to do it anymore.
If the successor is changed, then the joke will be too big.
Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen simply said that he was tired and wanted to rest, which is perfectly understandable.
Throughout history, not only the crown prince, but even some emperors often abandoned the court and went off to enjoy themselves.
Zhu Yunwen accomplished so many great things that the Ming Dynasty is now almost perfect.
In this situation, it's perfectly understandable, even expected, for him to enjoy his life.
After explaining some things, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu packed some clothes and bags, and then one morning, the two of them left the Ming Dynasty palace without anyone noticing.
The Crown Prince began his vacation.
Then, using a very low-key identity, he lived a life of traveling and leisure, like an ordinary person.
Moreover, in order to conceal his identity, Zhu Yunwen used the disguise techniques he had learned before to subtly change his appearance, making it difficult for others to recognize him as the grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
Outside the city gate of a small county town in Jiangnan.
Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu arrived here, and then Zhao Qingzhu said:
"This county is called Nanjiang County. It is said that there is a small river in it with very beautiful scenery. Every year, countless scholars and literati come to admire the scenery."
Zhu Yunwen smiled and nodded, saying:
"That's perfect, let's go take a look."
At this moment, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu look more like an ordinary couple.
However, just as the two were about to enter the city, a soldier at the city gate stepped forward and said to Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu:
"Young master, young lady, you seem to be from out of town. I must remind you both not to go out casually at night."
Especially for girls, you're so beautiful, you must remember this.
Zhu Yunwen frowned upon hearing this:
"Why is that? The security situation in the Ming Dynasty should be very good now. There shouldn't be any danger for women going out, right?"
The officer sighed and said:
"Young master, you may not know this, but although our Great Ming Dynasty has excellent public security, and almost no one dares to commit crimes, it's not always the case that people won't, there are always some strange things..."
At this point, the soldier's face showed fear, as if something frightened him.
He was hesitant to speak further.
Upon seeing his appearance, Zhu Yunwen immediately concluded that there was something strange about this so-called Nanjiang County.
The officers and soldiers continued:
"Forget it, I dare not say more. Anyway, you can completely trust the security in our area. People won't dare to commit crimes randomly."
However, there are some unsavory things we must guard against, things that even our government can't control.
After speaking, the soldier left and continued standing at the city gate, while Zhao Qingzhu crossed his arms and said to Zhu Yunwen:
"Does he mean the place is haunted? And that the ghost is interested in young, beautiful women?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled and said:
"I don't know if ghosts exist, but there's never a shortage of people who pretend to be ghosts in this world. Especially when the law is sound, and especially when ordinary people don't dare to commit crimes casually."
Hearing this, Zhao Qingzhu asked in confusion:
What does this mean?
As Zhu Yunwen led her into the city, he explained to her:
"Have you noticed a problem? In some places with poor public security, there are some people who act lawlessly and recklessly."
They are sometimes more terrifying than demons, and in places like these, you rarely hear anything strange.
Conversely, in places with good public security, people dare not cause trouble or break the law at will, and if they do break the law, it is easy to be found out.
Such places are prone to strange occurrences, which are considered by people to be inexplicable paranormal events.
Zhao Qingzhu thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed to make sense, so she immediately said:
"Why is that?"
Zhu Yunwen smiled mysteriously and said:
"Because when there are things that, if done in a human capacity, are easily investigated and could lead to imprisonment, they have to come up with a way to do them by pretending to be supernatural."
This allows all blame to be placed on supernatural events, deterring people from investigating further and even leading the government to believe it is indeed a supernatural event, thus preventing any investigation.
After hearing Zhu Yunwen's words, Zhao Qingzhu seemed to understand but not quite, and only said one sentence:
"So you mean there are no paranormal events or ghosts at all, but they are man-made."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhao Qingzhu and said:
"Didn't I say? I don't know if there are ghosts or not, but there are always plenty of people who pretend to be ghosts."
Whether there are lecherous men or not, I don't know, but there have never been few and far between when it comes to lecherous people.
Zhao Qingzhu thought about it seriously and finally felt that it made sense, so she said:
"Then tonight, let's do the opposite and go out in the middle of the night to see what's going on."
Zhu Yunwen nodded and said to Zhao Qingzhu:
"I have a gun, and you are highly skilled in martial arts. We're not afraid even if we encounter ghosts."
