Chapter 7 Desire for Freedom(1/2)
Outside the Xuanwu Gate, Zhou Cheng, Zhu Biao and more than a hundred people, surrounded by many soldiers, walked swaggeringly in the imperial city.
Such a huge army is very conspicuous in the imperial city, attracting many people to come and watch.
With such a large formation, even an idiot would know that the leader is definitely a big shot in the palace.
People on both sides of the street made way to avoid offending the nobles in the palace.
Outside the palace, there were only three people, Zhu Biao, Zhu Shuang, and Zhu Tong, whom they had never seen before.
From the nostalgia in their eyes, we can see their desire for freedom.
This palace is like a big prison cell, and they are like beasts locked in a cage, and they are so curious about everything in the outside world.
Zhou Cheng walked at the front of the team, looking out and saying to everyone: "Your Highness! Get out of the way!"
"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a handsome guy? Go home and see your wife!"
"Those who don't have wives shouldn't look around, let alone take photos or pictures, you know?"
Seeing Zhou Cheng's arrogance, Zhu Di worriedly said: "Brother, it seems that the teacher just came here based on your name. Is that okay?"
Zhu Biao was not deaf, so he naturally heard this sentence.
What exactly does Zhou Cheng want to do by so blatantly frightening the people in the imperial city?
He couldn't figure it out.
At this time, the carriage was almost in front of the warehouse door, and Hu Wangnan was still shaking hands with the officials below.
Hu Wangnan, the son of Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, was deeply favored by Hu Weiyong. He was the only bloodline of the Hu family and the only heir.
Hu Wangnan has been favored by others since he was a child, and he has been domineering and arrogant in the imperial city.
As the son of a prime minister, no one in the capital would provoke him.
It's a pity that Hu Wangnan's qualifications are mediocre, and he failed to do so despite taking the exam many times.
Relying on Lao Zhu's love, Hu Weiyong transferred Hu Wangnan to a vacant position in charge of the internal treasury, allowing his precious son to prosper in the city.
"Mr. Hu, it seems that a caravan has arrived in front of our warehouse."
"Who cares about their carriage? What does this have to do with our guarding the inner treasury? Do you know where our warehouse is? This is the emperor's private money! Who is so bold as to dare to break in here?"
Just when Hu Wangnan finished saying this, there was a loud "bang" and the door of the inner warehouse was pushed open.
All the inner police officers looked at Hu Wangnan with their mouths open.
Didn’t you just say that no one can break in?
Even King Hu Nan himself looked confused.
"Who is so bold as to break into the inner treasury? Are you looking for death?"
Zhou Cheng walked in swaggeringly, with a faint smile on his face: "Who has the final say here?"
When Hu Wangnan faced Zhou Cheng, he did not show the slightest fear. Instead, he yelled: "Who do you think you are? Do you know where this is? This is a warehouse. Isn't it a place where you unruly people can run wild?"
, back off quickly!"
Zhou Cheng took out the sign that Lao Zhu gave him, with a sarcastic smile on his lips, "This is an order from the emperor himself! We are ordered to carry food and grass!"
"Nonsense! Is this broken token real? Do you know the rules in the warehouse? No one except the emperor himself can touch even a cent of this place."
The smell of gunpowder between the two frightened many internal police officers.
Soon, all the sergeants rushed into the warehouse and surrounded the entire inner warehouse.
Hu Wangnan was stunned.
Did you hit the iron plate?
"What are you doing? If you do this, you will be executed!"
"In this case, if you dare to disobey the Holy Order, you will die!"
"Brothers, beat this ignorant boy to death and let him understand the consequences of disobeying His Majesty."
The soldiers around Zhu Biao are also strong men.
Hu Wangnan's thin limbs could not withstand such a blow, and he was quickly knocked unconscious.
Zhu Biao and others were also late and saw the sergeants led by Zhou Cheng rushing directly into the warehouse.
When Zhu Biao saw this scene, he was almost frightened to death.
"Mr. Zhou, we are in big trouble now! No one can trespass except father, otherwise it will be a dead end!"
"Teacher, why did you knock out the housekeeper in charge of managing the warehouse? That is the son of Hu Xiang!"
"No! Master, we are in big trouble now. None of us can leave alive."
Zhou Cheng curled his lips and said, "What's the crime of working for the emperor? This kid is so arrogant that he is actually the apple of Hucheng City's eye?"
He silently added in his heart that if he knew, he would definitely beat him up, because his father has always been his enemy.
………………
In the main hall.
Wang Jinghong looked anxious and walked quickly to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! I have found out the situation of several princes. Several princes and princes are now in the warehouse outside the palace, working with Zhou Cheng on matters for the emperor."
Lao Zhu suddenly slapped himself on the forehead and exclaimed: "No! I actually forgot about this. Who is working in Neiku Ku Yamen?"
"He is the young master from Hucheng City."
"Send someone to the inner treasury quickly."
Over there, Zhou Cheng didn't care what trouble he got into. After all, Lao Zhu had given him this task. If anything went wrong, Lao Zhu would be responsible for it.
"Everyone! I am here to carry food under the emperor's order. If anyone dares to stop me, he will be like this kid."
After saying that, Zhou Cheng kicked Hu Wangnan in the thigh.
"Hey! This kid is really crazy!"
When Zhu Biao and others saw Zhou Cheng's actions, they were all confused.
He is the most arrogant one, okay?
In the name of the prince, he went around causing trouble, and even led soldiers to steal the emperor's treasure!
Can they be more arrogant than you?
As for the errands in the inner treasury, they could only huddle in the corner and stand tremblingly.
Hu Xiang's sons were beaten so badly. If they stood in front of Ling Han again, wouldn't they be beaten to death?

This is Zhu Biao's first time doing such a job, so he can't do it with Zhou Cheng!
Everyone was stunned.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and take out the food? This is really a task given by the emperor. Aren't you willing to do your part for the people of Huaixi?"
Speaking of those people in Huaixi, Zhu Biao was filled with emotion.
Back then, when he saw this envelope in the court, he burst into tears!
The disaster caused by the bursting of the Yellow River's embankments is really terrible!
Millions of people have trouble even eating and have to flee for their lives.
As a member of the Heavenly Family, we naturally have to care for the common people.
If he could see so many homeless people, he would definitely help.
Zhu Biao has forgotten what he was blamed by his father. The only thing he cares about now is how to save the people of Huaixi.
He took the lead and entered the inner treasury directly. Carrying a bag of food, he arrived at the carriage outside the treasury city.
Seeing Zhu Biao transporting grain out as the prince, several other princes followed him one after another, regardless of the rules of the inner treasury.
At this moment, a figure suddenly rushed into the warehouse.
Hu Weiyong wore a blue robe and was stunned when he looked at King Hu Nan lying there unconscious.
"Your Highness! Wang'er, don't you think so?" He stood up angrily and roared at Zhou Cheng, "If anything happens to my Wang'er, I will definitely let him die without a burial place!"
Just after Hu Weiyong said these words, the soldiers outside the door had surrounded the Neiku Ku Yamen.
Such a grand occasion is rarely seen in the inner warehouse. People outside are very scared, and people inside are even more painful.
It’s okay for the dignitaries in the palace to act recklessly, can it still bring disaster to Chiyu?
Hu Weiyong clenched his fists and stared at Zhou Cheng with cold eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Cheng, you are so brave! Embezzling the inner treasury is a capital crime, but you dare to beat the son of an official! I know how to do it.
Report this matter to His Majesty, and you will wait for His Majesty’s judgment!”
Zhou Cheng looked harmless and said in a feigned fear: "Hu Weiyong, you misunderstood! I am just a master, how can I have the courage?"
At this time, Zhou Cheng brought Zhu Biao to Hu Weiyong and said with a smile, "I have been ordered by His Highness to come to the inner treasury to handle matters."
