Soon, Xu Ming was brought over.
"See you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!" As soon as he came in, Xu Ming bowed respectfully to Zhu Yingtian.
"Pingshen!" Zhu Yingtian raised his hand, looked at Xu Ming with a trace of confusion, and said: "Xu Chengwei, what is going on with the people in the city making trouble?"
"Back to the emperor, in fact, the riots caused by the people this time are mainly the responsibility of our city guards!" Xu Ming lowered his head and said with a look of shame.
Next, he briefly described what happened.
After listening to Xu Ming's story, Zhu Yingtian frowned. He didn't expect that the city guards would do such a thing and expropriate resources without authorization. No wonder it would arouse public outrage.
"Xu Chengwei, you also know that the floating city is about to be launched, and we will never allow any mistakes." Zhu Yingtian squinted his eyes, his eyes were like lightning, and said in a deep voice: "Since there are such scum in the city guard, then... Catch them and give an explanation to the people."
"As for what to do, I believe you know it in your heart!"
"Your Majesty, actually..." Xu Ming hesitated.
"explain!"
"Actually, I had already decided to kill him as a warning to the people. However, Elder Ji intervened to stop him, which led to the current situation."
"Master?!" Zhu Ying was slightly startled, as if he didn't expect this, and was related to Ji Wuya. Based on his understanding of his master, it doesn't seem like he would be a person who doesn't distinguish between evil and evil.
"At that time, Elder Ji strongly opposed his subordinates' punishment of those scum." Xu Ming glanced at Zhu Ying, bowed his head and said, "Considering his status, I didn't dare to say anything more, so I had to obey. Got his wish."
"It seems that Elder Ji is also confused." Zhu Yingtian sighed and said coldly: "Now is the most critical moment, and kindness will only do bad things."
"Father, do you think there might be some hidden agenda here?" Zhu Ying frowned and said, "Although the master is not usually nosy, he is usually very measured and it is impossible not to know the pros and cons involved. "
"Your Majesty, let's not talk about Elder Ji's thoughts for now. We must deal with this public outrage as soon as possible." Zhu Yingtian looked at Xu Ming and said: "Xu Chengwei, you should arrest those city guards immediately and give them to them. The people will give an explanation."
"yes!"
"Wait!"
Before Xu Ming could leave, Ji Wuya and Zi Tong came to the imperial study room.
"Master, why are you here?" Zhu Ying's eyes lit up and she exclaimed. At the same time, he also noticed an invisible person wearing a cloak standing next to Ji Wuya.
However, it can be seen from the figure that this is a woman.
"Elder Ji, do you want to stop Xu Chengwei from punishing those scum again?" Zhu Yingtian stared at Ji Wuya with a sullen expression. "If we don't give an explanation to the people, I'm afraid Qinhuai City will fall into chaos. Once Qinhuai City falls into chaos, it will be difficult to continue the floating city plan."
"Your Majesty, I am indeed here to stop Xu Chengwei from punishing those scum. However, I will only delay for three days." Ji Wuya glanced at Zitong beside him, then walked out and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"What do you mean?" Zhu Yingtian tilted his head slightly and looked at Ji Wuya with confusion.
"I won't say a word about how to deal with those city guards in three days. But if we want to take action now, I will definitely stop it with all my strength!!"
