Chapter 211: Identity Revealed, the Whole Hall Stunned

Seeing Yin Min walking toward Zhu Gaoxu, Ada immediately stepped forward to block him.

What a joke; with so many Embroidered Uniform Guards watching here, how could they possibly let such an unruly commoner get close to Zhu Gaoxu?

As the Deputy Hall Master of the Red Rainbow Hall and the eldest disciple of Bai Xinghuo, Yin Min naturally possessed martial arts skills.

Just as he was about to make a move to teach the obstructive Ada a lesson, another gatekeeping disciple ran over.

"Reporting to the two Deputy Hall Masters, the Magistrate has arrived!"

Hearing this, Yin Min was stunned, and the palm he had raised was lowered.

After all, they could not afford to offend the Magistrate; it would be bad if he walked in later and saw blood all over the floor.

Yu Feipeng was clearly just as unaware of why the Magistrate had suddenly arrived.

Just as he was about to go and welcome him, he did not expect the Magistrate to barge in with his yamen runners.

This was not a friendly gesture.

Yet, no one in the Red Rainbow Hall dared to say anything more.

Although the Magistrate was not a high-ranking official, in this one-acre-three-fen plot of land that was Huangshan Town, he was undoubtedly the greatest.

If one were to offend him, there would be no way to continue living in Huangshan Town.

Even if they resorted to force, he would not be afraid; one must know that if pushed to the limit, a Magistrate could call upon the army for help.

Unless it was an assassination, and it had to be a fatal blow in one strike.

But not to mention the difficulty of such a task, unless pushed to the brink, these martial arts practitioners would not dare to do so.

At the very least, small gangs and factions like theirs lacked such courage.

This was also the reason why the imperial court detested these martial arts practitioners.

As for ordinary commoners, let alone pushing them to the limit, even if you pushed them to their deaths, they would not have any excessive thoughts.

But this group of martial arts practitioners was different.

Even the lowest-level martial arts practitioners, if truly pushed to the limit, would develop some dangerous ideas.

And that was just the lowest level; if it were those martial arts sects or knights with power and influence, it would be even more dangerous.

But clearly, the current Magistrate of Huangshan Town had a decent level of control over these martial arts sects.

The Magistrate of Huangshan Town was seen walking into the front hall with his yamen runners.

Yu Feipeng and Yin Min immediately went up to greet him.

"Magistrate Niu, your arrival is a great honor. Please forgive us for not welcoming you sooner."

As he spoke, he cupped his hands in apology.

But this Magistrate Niu did not even glance at the two of them, walking straight past them.

This left the two feeling somewhat embarrassed and also somewhat confused.

They did not know what kind of madness had seized Magistrate Niu today; coming to the headquarters of the Red Rainbow Hall and ignoring the two of them—what was the meaning of this?

But soon, Magistrate Niu provided the two with an answer.

Magistrate Niu was seen passing by Yu Feipeng and Yin Min, walking straight to the front of Zhu Gaoxu.

At a distance of three meters from Zhu Gaoxu, he knelt down directly.

"Subordinate Niu Jiang, Magistrate of Huangshan Town, pays respects to His Highness the Prince!"

His Highness the Prince!

Hearing Niu Jiang's words, everyone in the front hall, except for Zhu Gaoxu and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, was shocked.

The maid who had been following Zhu Gaoxu did not expect that the child she had taken care of for a day was actually a Prince of the Great Ming.

A member of the royal family!

Yu Feipeng also did not expect that a child he had casually encountered on the road was actually a Prince!

Only Yin Min was somewhat skeptical.

Although he knew that his inner suspicion was basically impossible.

After all, he knew Niu Jiang; he was the Magistrate of Huangshan Town.

But he still could not help but step forward and say to Niu Jiang: "Magistrate... Magistrate Niu, could you have recognized the wrong person? How can someone be a Prince at only a few years old?"

Normally, those of Zhu Gaoxu's generation were enfeoffed as Princes at the age of ten.

Zhu Gaoxu was indeed a bit early.

But Zhu Gaoxu's title of Prince was specially granted by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Personally bestowed by him.

It was just that in a remote place like Huangshan Town, naturally, few people knew about it.

Plus, Yin Min and the others were martial arts practitioners, so they basically did not inquire about or feel curious about matters of the imperial court.

Naturally, they would know even less.

But just because Yin Min did not know, it did not mean Niu Jiang was unaware.

He had long known that the imperial court had sent a Prince down.

It was said that he was only a few years old, but his status was extraordinary, and he was deeply loved by the Emperor.

This had always made Niu Jiang attach great importance to it, but although he hoped to be able to host Zhu Gaoxu, he did not expect that Zhu Gaoxu would actually come to Huangshan Town.

Having received no news beforehand, this meant that Zhu Gaoxu's first stop on his journey north was his small Huangshan Town.

This was something he would not have dared to dream of.

It was just that now it seemed this master had encountered some trouble.

Hearing Yin Min's words, Niu Jiang first glared at him, then shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! Why do you not pay respects when seeing His Highness Nanyang?"

As soon as the words fell, the accompanying yamen runners all knelt down immediately.

Hearing Magistrate Niu's words, Yin Min knew that the identity of the child before him was now completely confirmed.

As the last shred of wishful thinking was extinguished by Niu Jiang, Yin Min and Yu Feipeng exchanged a glance, and both immediately knelt down as well.

If one were to say who among those present least wanted to acknowledge the identity of Zhu Gaoxu, it would be Yin Min.

After all, just one minute ago, he was still mocking, cursing, and threatening Zhu Gaoxu.

And the other one would likely be Yu Feipeng.

After all, when Yin Min was cursing Zhu Gaoxu just now, he did not say a single word, clearly giving his tacit approval.

The most critical point is that he had schemed against Zhu Gaoxu.

If Zhu Gaoxu still insists on treating Bai Xinghuo, then...
