The workers inside were unaware that Qin Kun had already fled, so they were still busily at work. The brick movers moved bricks, the log movers moved logs, and they were all hard at it.
Eventually someone noticed the Emperor and Ye Ge. They informed the foreman, who belligerently came over to inquire, "Who the heck are you? Outsiders are not allowed in here. It's beheading if caught. Scram now!"
The next second, the foreman was stabbed to death by Mu Zhen, who was behind the Emperor.
Seeing a murder, many workers ran out. The magistrate from Wanjin County stepped forward, "This is the Emperor of Dajin Dynasty. Who dares to be disrespectful?"
Immediately after that, more than a thousand troops encircled the area, and all the workers were taken away.
Perhaps the Emperor was too shocked. The impact of the palace on him was too heavy, so he stood there for a long while, a very long while.
If they found out any later, the imperial reign of Dajin might have changed hands.
