Chapter 382
"Brother, why are you talking nonsense to this kid? Just give him a beating and he will become honest immediately."

The beggar holding the stick also raised the stick in his hand.

However, Zhu Fan had already moved at this time.

He rushed out and knocked over the beggar who was raising his legs. He grabbed the other beggar's stick and yanked it hard.

Caught off guard, the two beggars were knocked down by Zhu Fan in an instant.

Su Jing was a little surprised by this performance, but after thinking about it, it was quite reasonable.

After all, he is Lao Zhu's son. It would be too bad if he didn't have this bit of blood.

"Boy! Are you looking for death!"

The beggar who fell to the ground screamed in pain, but he did not forget to threaten Zhu Han.

Others around him were not too panicked.

Such fights are all too common here.

After Zhu Fan knocked the two of them down with a sneak attack, he did not leave. Instead, he looked at the two men fiercely and said, "If you need me to teach you the principle of first come, first served, I can teach you now!"

When facing unreasonable people, only force is the best method.

Zhu Fan read a lot of books, but he was not a timid person.

Moreover, he also confirmed from his actions just now that although there were two beggars in front of him, they were both sallow and thin.

He looks much older than himself, but he actually doesn't have much strength.

Even if he had just carried the bag all day, he was still stronger than them.

After the emperor ate it, Zhu Fan's physical development was still very good.

And with the guidance of his martial arts teacher, Zhu Fan is much stronger than his peers. This is the biggest source of confidence for Zhu Fan to be so tough at this moment.

However, these two beggars are not guys who will leave just because they are scared.

They stood up and stared at Zhu Fan.

There were many beggars around, and they all looked at them.

If he loses, it will not only mean that he has lost to Zhu Fan alone, but others will also follow his example.

To survive at such a low level, sometimes you just need that kind of ruthlessness.

The confrontation continued, and the atmosphere was tense.

Zhu Fan looked extremely determined, as if the two in front of him were not beggars, but prey.

The words Zhu Yuanzhang once taught him came to mind. When facing his enemy, he must overwhelm the opponent in terms of momentum.

In this way, we have already won three points without starting a battle.

"Who are you and why are you so unruly?"

Finally, the beggar with the stick spoke first.

In this silent confrontation, whoever speaks first means admitting defeat.

Zhu Fan said coldly: "I don't know the rules. I only know that first come, first served. If you are not convinced, then come."

The fearless attitude really surprised both beggars.

Because although Zhu Fan's clothes are poor, they are still better than beggars like them.

A normal person would not be so forceful if he were afraid of just leaving.

Because I can’t do it!
He might even get into trouble.

However, at such a young age, Zhu Fan has an aura that is inconsistent with his age.

For a moment, the two beggars were a little unsure.

Is Zhu Fan bluffing, or is he really not afraid?

They arched their bodies slightly, one holding a stick and clenching his fists, as if they were about to take action at any time.

Su Jing looked on, relieved.

These two beggars won't take action anymore, because if they really want to take action, they always take action first and then talk later.

It was as if Zhu Fan had struck preemptively at the beginning, overwhelming the opponent with momentum, and now he was just looking to make up for it.

After all, you still have to show your attitude.

As a beggar, if they were injured in a fight in a place like this, no one would treat them and they wouldn't have the money to treat them.

Preserving yourself is the most correct decision.

However, those Zhu Fan's guards didn't think so.

They only saw the two beggars who were about to attack Zhu Fan. One of them even had a weapon.

Everyone was a little unable to hold back. Although they agreed to Su Jing, Zhu Han would not be in a hurry to take action if he suffered some physical pain.

But this meeting is just around the corner, and they are really anxious!

Everyone was so impatient that they even set up their formations. It was dark now, and everyone's attention was attracted by Zhu Fan's fight, so they were not noticed.

After a stalemate for a while, the two beggars finally relented: "We are unlucky today. I will give this place to you. Don't let me see you again tomorrow!"

After saying harsh words, the two beggars turned and left.

As they gave up, Zhu Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and the guards also breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Jing retreated calmly. The matter was over, and there was nothing left for him at the scene.

As for Zhu Fan, let him experience it for himself.

Lying down against the wall, Zhu Fan looked around and found that everyone else was consciously keeping a distance from him.

This is exactly the shock brought about by the toughness just now, not only the fear of Zhu Fan's power, but also his tough attitude to the end.

Zhu Fan remained silent, feeling very strange in his heart.

This was something he had never felt before and could never feel when he was the prince and the king of Jin.

Is this what we have to face in our hard-working life?

Zhu Fan once again thought about the reason why Su Jing gave him this challenge and everything he experienced after that day.

However, he was already exhausted. After being woken up and having another confrontation, his mind really couldn't move very well.

Not long after, he fell asleep again.

……

Early the next morning, it was raining lightly outside the window.

Su Jing got up and looked at the rain outside the window. She was very glad that she had collected all the dandelions yesterday and wrapped them to prevent them from getting wet.

If this is confiscated, two days of exposure will be in vain.

After a simple wash, Su Jing went out holding an umbrella.

For Su Jing, light rain is a pause in work, but for most people, light rain can't stop anything.

On the street, the owner of the breakfast shop was still selling food, but he just put up an awning.

Su Jing sat down, put away her umbrella, ordered some fried food, and started eating slowly.

In such weather, he couldn't help but think of Zhu Fan.

Different from sunny days, whether there is any work at the dock on rainy days depends on luck, because some goods are not afraid of water, so they can continue to be loaded and unloaded, while some goods are afraid of water, so they can only be temporarily stored in the cabin or warehouse.

Therefore, the number of workers needed on the dock will be much less than normal. At this time, if you want to have work, you have to 'grab' it.

Of course, the robbery here does not refer to the use of force, but the relationship with the foreman and the wages.

After finishing breakfast quickly, Su Jing rushed to the pier holding an umbrella.

He also wanted to know what choice Zhu Fan would make in such weather.

pier.

Zhu Fan's face was very ugly, not only because of the sudden rain, but also because his only three cents were stolen.

That's right, he slept too deeply last night and his money was taken away.

Zhu Fan really understood what it means to have a leaky house and rain all night long.It’s a rainy day and there’s no money.

This situation is simply extremely difficult.

Zhu Fan decisively refused the help from his own bodyguard.

This is a real challenge. Zhu Fan has begun to realize what Su Jing wants him to know. He must truly complete this challenge.

In front of the dock, workers gathered together, scrambling for the few jobs.

The rain is still falling, but not a single worker is missing.

Zhu Fan squeezed in the crowd and felt that life was not as simple as he once thought.

"You, you, and you, come here and unload this ship..."

The foremen allocate work in an orderly manner. Because there are fewer goods to unload, there are also fewer jobs to be assigned. The power of life and death in selecting workers is in their hands.

The one who was selected was naturally overjoyed, because it meant there was still income today.

If you are not selected, you can only look forward to the arrival of the next ship.

Zhu Fan is a child, not very old. Although he is relatively strong, he is still far behind these workers who carry things all year round.

Coupled with yesterday's work impression, this directly led to Zhu Fan spending a whole morning at the dock.

Su Jing was fine, watching from a shop not far away.

The guards were also watching. They couldn't understand why Zhu Fan was so self-inflicted.

It’s obviously raining, but you’re still holding on?

If they get frozen and get sick when they go back, they will inevitably be punished.

But neither Zhu Fan nor Su Jing are existences they can violate.

Without hesitating for too long, the guards had an idea, and one person quickly returned to the capital and reported the matter directly to Zhu Yuanzhang.

They couldn't decide the direction of things, at least let the emperor know the specific situation before things worsened.

The guards were very fast. When Zhu Fan's money was stolen early in the morning, one of them had already set off.

By this time, after constantly rushing to the station to change horses, they had already approached the palace.

It was lunch time, and Lao Zhu was having a light meal in Fengxian Hall, but he was not alone.

"Biao'er, can the Firearms Bureau's construction period be guaranteed to be completed before the end of next month?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao in front of him while eating.

Yes, the person eating with Lao Zhu was Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao replied: "Reporting to my father, I promise that it will be completed before the end of next month."

Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly: "It doesn't have to be like this. Let's just chat casually now and be casual while eating. This is what Su Jing often says."

"Yes, Father!"

Zhu Biao nodded, but still looked serious.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything more, he just said: "By the way, how is the second Jinling Hotel branch doing now?"

Zhu Xiang's branch plan was reported to Lao Zhu and approved.

However, it was just a restaurant. Lao Zhu nodded and it was over. It was impossible to pay attention to the progress all the time.

There are so many major national affairs, and it’s not easy to get involved.

It suddenly occurred to me that I was going to eat, so I asked a few more questions.

Zhu Biao replied: "I don't know much about my second brother's restaurant, but the preliminary preparations should be almost done, and it is estimated that it will be opened soon."

Zhu Biao was busy supervising work and some state affairs all day long, and he didn't pay much attention.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Okay, then let's go eat and see if it tastes like Su Jing's Jinling Hotel."

Lao Zhu was quite satisfied with the several meals he had in Lishui County.

Although it is not very delicious, the food is still attractive.

"If your father wants to go, your sons and ministers should go with you."

Zhu Biao replied seriously.

"The recent changes in the second son are really good. It is right for us to make him the King of Qin."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

Zhu Xiang's changes are visible to the naked eye and are reliable. Lao Zhu sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart.

Zhu Biao said: "The second brother is indeed different from before. Master Su's teachings have given the second brother a lot of motivation. Erchen feels that maybe the third brother will also have some different changes this time."

In Zhu Biao's case, Zhu Xi's changes are directly related to Su Jing.

It's just that saying this in front of Lao Zhu, his father, is really a bit embarrassing for him.

"Humph."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "Biao'er, we don't agree with what you said. The third child is always smart and does a good job in dealing with people and recognizing things. No matter how talented Su Jing is, what can he change? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was very clear about the difference between Zhu Fan, the third child, and Zhu Feng, the second child.

It's not 01:30.

The reason why Zhu Ping can improve is because he was originally very bad. As long as he improves a little, it will be very obvious.

But Zhu Fan is different. Zhu Fan is already very good now. How else can he be changed?
Zhu Biao did not refute and ate the food silently.

"Urgent report!"

At this time, a rushing sound came from outside Fengxian Hall.

The expressions of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao both changed, and Lao Zhu said directly: "Xuan."

Soon, a person appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

"You are my third brother's guard!"

Zhu Biao recognized the person at a glance and immediately asked: "What's your urgent report? Is it related to King Jin?"

The guards did not think there was anything wrong with Zhu Biao asking him directly over Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because this is what Zhu Yuanzhang allowed, and even what Zhu Yuanzhang liked to see.

He replied: "Reporting to His Highness the Crown Prince, the matter is indeed related to His Highness Prince Jin."

"Tell me what's going on."

Zhu Biao urged, and Lao Zhu also frowned, very curious and a little worried.

The guard immediately described what happened in Lishui County to Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, including all the details and not daring to miss a single detail.

"That's all, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am worried about the safety of His Highness Prince Jin, so I came here to report."

The guard knelt down, lowered his head and said very respectfully.

After Zhu Biao heard this, the nervous expression on his face had relaxed. He said directly to the guard: "It's okay, you can go back. In addition, you just obey Master Su's arrangements."

As long as Zhu Fan has nothing major to do, Zhu Biao is not worried.

As long as Su Jing is here, nothing will happen!

"Yes, His Royal Highness."

The guard handed over his hand but did not stand up.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Just follow the prince's words."

The guard then stood up and said, "I obey your order."

With that said, the guard turned and left.

In the main hall, Lao Zhu said to Zhu Biao: "Boss, what is Su Jing doing? Torturing Lao San?"

Zhu Biao immediately said: "Father, I think Master Su is testing my third brother, just like when I asked to see Master Su for the first time."
