Zhou Guangli exclaimed, followed by denials and explanations.

By the end, he had long forgotten that Zhu Yunxi had used a false identity on this trip.

The river workers were attracted by his voice and were shocked because Zhou Guangli knelt in front of a young man.

The river workers under the river embankment silently gathered around.

The officials here were also uneasy and moved their eyes solemnly towards this side.

Zhou Guangli, who was kneeling on the ground, felt a chill in the back of his head. Countless sweat had broken out on his back in an instant, soaking his inner clothes.

On his forehead, big beads of sweat kept dripping down.

How firm he had been in front of the emperor's grandson, now he felt so fearful in his heart.

My grandson is like me.

At the beginning, His Majesty's decree was spread to Henan Province.

Then what I committed today was the crime of deceiving the emperor.

It is a capital crime!

Zhou Guangli said in a panic: "Your Highness! I swear on my whole family that I will never tell a lie. This bluestone strip...why the bluestone strips are like this, I really don't know."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes were as dark as ink, but he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.

Things that had no clue at first were almost on the verge of reaching the Silk Road, but now the situation has unexpectedly opened up.

He ignored Zhou Guangli who kept swearing and explaining.

Three steps combined.

Under the gaze of Wang Xinling, whose eyes widened, Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand and pressed it decisively on the bluestone strip.

Get started.

Zhu Yunxi's brows were already frowning tightly.

The eyebrows are ridged, and there are waves in the eyes.

Bluestone was the most commonly used material in the imperial court.

Whether it is building a city or building the foundation of a government building, it is needed.

Because it is used a lot, it seems ordinary, and people usually pay little attention to it.

However, the lack of attention does not mean that people are unfamiliar with it.

After taking it, the lubrication and greasy feeling from the palm were clearly transmitted to Zhu Yunxi.

It's like the stone was soaked in oil for countless years before being picked up.

After Zhu Yunxi was silent for a while, he retracted his hands into fists and put them behind his back.

"Open this section of the dam!"

Following his order, Wang Xinling immediately turned around and shouted: "The Emperor's Grandson has an order to open this dam!"

The emperor's grandson is here?

That young man in brocade clothes turned out to be His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!

Looking at Chief Zhou kneeling on the ground, the river workers surrounding him believed that this man was not lying.

The official who first asked Zhu Yunxi for his identity certificate had already lost his legs in the crowd and fell to the ground.

"It's over, it's over!"

"I actually blocked my grandson's way..."

The scene was already agitated because Wang Xinling reported Zhu Yunxi's true identity.

Tian Mai immediately led people to climb to the dam and took out a sign from his arms: "Open the dam!"

No one could see clearly what was written on the sign held by Tian Mai.

But under the sun, the bright yellow sign gave everyone an invisible sense of oppression.

The river workers didn't know him.

But the officials present knew it.

That must be the 'It's like I'm here in person' gold medal that His Majesty gave to His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson.

The officials reacted immediately.

"Everyone obeys Taisun's order and removes the dam!"

"Quick! Everyone get up!"

The officials shouted and rushed to the bottom of the dam with tools in hand.

Most of these river officials are personally involved in river management.

When I started to work, I just made a fuss, and I didn't dare to hesitate or be lazy at all.

As the officials took the lead, the river workers finally understood that the young man in brocade clothes was really the rumored His Highness the Crown Prince.

Under the leadership of the foreman, the river workers walked to the dam in groups and began to open this section of the dam.

Zhu Yunxi was protected by Tian Mai who came down from the dam and retreated some distance to the edge.

Looking at the dam filled with people in front of me.

Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and pointed: "Bring a piece of bluestone over here."

As soon as he finished speaking, a river worker on the side who failed to rush to the dam first immediately dropped the tools in his hand, spread his legs and rushed into the crowd in front of the dam.

In just the blink of an eye, the river worker dragged a whole bluestone strip out of the crowd and dragged it all the way to Zhu Yunxi.

"Your Highness Taisun, this is a bluestone strip."

As he spoke, the river worker lowered his head and showed an honest smile, bowed his waist and pushed him aside.

The emperor's grandson is a good person!

Since the construction of the river started, the government has never deducted half of their wages or even a morsel of food from them.

Daily rations and monthly construction deadlines are all distributed on time.

Winter is approaching these days, and the government has already sent over the cotton-padded clothes needed after winter, and now they are all stored in the warehouse.

I heard people say that the reason why the government cares about the river work so much now is because His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun in the imperial court cares about the people of the world.

The regulation of the river was also decided upon by His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun.

The emperor's grandson was troubled by something that he couldn't help himself. It was more than enough to bring a piece of bluestone over.

Zhu Yunxi just glanced at the river worker with his head lowered in confusion.

These people know their identities and are not afraid?

Without thinking much, he walked to the bluestone strips placed on the ground.

Wang Xinling and Tian Mai gathered around.

A group of officials on the river also gathered around.

"Broken?"

Wang Xinling looked at the oily bluestone strips on the ground and whispered to himself.

Immediately, he stepped forward and pushed the bluestone bar with his foot.

After this, everyone saw that in his direction, a corner of the bluestone strip had broken off and a piece the size of a forearm fell off.

Tian Mai immediately answered: "Even if you throw it on the ground, this is mud, so the bluestone probably won't be so brittle..."

He asked and answered himself, then raised his head and looked around.

"Get that sledgehammer."

Tian Mai's eyes found a big hammer used by river workers, and he waved his hand.

His subordinates quickly stepped forward and fetched the big hammer.

Tian Mai held the handle with both hands and looked up at Zhu Yunxi: "Your Highness, please stay out of the way."

Zhu Yunxi understood what he was doing and was blocked by Wang Xinling in front of him, so he took a few steps back.

Seeing the situation around him, Tian Mai picked up the big hammer and raised it high above his back.

drink!

He shouted low, and the big hammer broke through the air, making a whirring sound.

In an instant, in front of people's sight, the big hammer had hit the bluestone strips heavily.

It was followed by a series of muffled sounds.

In front of everyone's eyes, a whole strip of bluestone turned into pieces and was as fragile as a clod of soil.

However, what surprised everyone even more was that the fracture surfaces of these bluestones also had a greasy sheen, without the dry and gritty feeling that a stone has when it is first opened.
