Ming Dynasty: The ghost betrays the Confucian sage, my son Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 38: The last person who was stubborn with me had grass growing on his grave.
Xuanwu Lake, the headquarters of the Beggar Clan.

Fourth Master Zhu handed the 200,000 taels brought back to Zhang Dingbian and told him: "This money will be used to expand the fleet, and you can also research sea-going ships, large-scale ships that can sail long distances."

Zhang Dingbian was stunned on the spot.

He had just returned from Northern Xinjiang, and he always felt that Fourth Master still didn't trust him or his former disciples of the Fish Dragon Gang.

But this time when he came back, Fourth Master gave him 200,000 taels and let him control it.

"Gang leader, is this... too much?" He couldn't believe it.

"Old Zhang, you have to get used to how wealthy I am in the future." Fourth Master Zhu patted him on the shoulder, "Our goal is the stars and the sea."

"Yes!" Zhang Dingbian nodded and laughed.

At this moment, all doubts in his mind disappeared.

Fourth Master Zhu sat down and spread his hands: "Of course, I can't treat my brothers badly. You have worked hard on this trip. Let's have a celebration party tonight and have a good drink."

Zhang Dingbian was about to nod when he suddenly remembered something and took out a greeting card: "Gang leader, this was just sent by Wei Wenjin, the shopkeeper of Qianjintai, who said he would invite you to a banquet tonight."

"Qianjintai?"

Fourth Master Zhu was surprised and reached out to take the greeting card. It was actually made of gold wire. He chuckled lightly, "I haven't found them yet, but they came to me on their own initiative. This can't be the Hongmen Banquet."

"Gang leader, be careful." Zhang Dingbian frowned, "Others don't know Wei Wenjin, the shopkeeper of Qianjintai, but I know a little bit about him. He was the leader of the green forest in the seven provinces at that time. He was open-minded on the surface, but in fact he was insidious, and he had great martial arts skills. He has a very high level of cultivation, but he hardly takes any action.”

"Huh, I'll just go and meet him." Fourth Master Zhu said disdainfully.

"There are many Beggar Clan disciples near Qianjin Terrace. As soon as there is any disturbance, my subordinates will rush in immediately." Zhang Dingbian looked firm.

Fourth Master Zhu nodded with a smile.

There is a feeling of being surrounded by Meng Zhangfei.

……

Twilight Quadruple.

The water waves of the Qinhuai River shimmered under the cover of night, but the towering building on the riverside, Qianjin Terrace, was brilliantly lit.

It was the first time for Fourth Master Zhu to come. He stood in front of the carved and hollow door of Qianjin Terrace and scanned the crowds coming in and out. Those richly dressed dignitaries, gentry and merchants.

His eyes finally fell on the plaque above the gate of Qianjintai, which was shining with golden light and had three majestic characters written on it: Qianjintai.

To be able to open such a large-scale gambling house in the capital city, the shopkeeper of Qianjintai is by no means an ordinary person. You must be a person with hands and eyes who understand everything in black and white to gain a foothold here.

Wei Wenjin?
How can a bullshit green forest boss from seven provinces open a gambling house in this capital city?

With a sneer on his lips, Fourth Master Zhu strode into the gate of Qianjin Terrace.

As soon as he entered the door, his eyes were attracted by the high platform in the middle of the hall. Under the light, the high platform shone with golden light, making the entire hall shine brilliantly.

It is said to be made of pure gold, hence the name Qianjintai.

"Old man, get out, this is no place for you." A guard came up.

"Go and tell Wei Wenjin that the leader of the Beggar Clan has arrived and tell him to come out and pick him up." Fourth Master Zhu waved his hand.

"Is it you?" The guard was surprised, "Please follow me."

He took Fourth Master Zhu up to the third floor and to the top of the high platform.

There was a table at the top, and about ten people were already sitting there.

"Shopkeeper, Fourth Master Zhu is here." The guard greeted.

The dozen or so people sitting there all turned their heads, all looking at Fourth Master Zhu.

One of them, a middle-aged man with a broad body and fat body, wearing silk and satin, came over and bowed with a smile: "I am Wei Wenjin, I would like to pay my respects to the fourth master, please."

He is a smiling tiger. As Zhang Dingbian said, this man is open-minded on the surface but sinister in reality.

Fourth Master Zhu smiled half-heartedly: "Shopkeeper Wei invites you, even if it's the Hongmen Banquet, I have to try it out."

Wei Wenjin's expression changed slightly. …

After Fourth Master Zhu sat down, his eyes fell on an acquaintance and sneered: "Zhu Liangzu, is your son dead?"

"you!"

Zhu Liangzu stood up suddenly, his eyes spitting fire, "I'll kill you."

Wei Wenjin quickly came up, stood in front of him, and advised: "General, don't be impatient. I'll talk to Fourth Master first."

Zhu Liangzu actually sat down.

Fourth Master Zhu was secretly frightened and glanced at the others. They all had a murderous aura.

"Fourth Master, I would like to introduce you to you." Wei Wenjin pointed at each one and said, "The governor of the Dudu Mansion is Lu Zhongheng, the governor is the co-knowledge of Tang Shengzong, the governor of the governor's office is Fei Ju, the governor of the governor's office is Zhao Yong, and the governor is Zheng Yuchun. Calm down Huang Bin, calm down Lan Yu."

Fourth Master Zhu frowned.

These are all big shots, and they will all be marquises in the future.

Although they all ended badly, they were either executed because of the Hu Weiyong case or because of the Lan Yu case.

His eyes fell on Lan Yu.

The young man Lan Yu had a murderous aura, and his eyes were filled with disdain for Fourth Master Zhu.

"With such a big battle, what do you want from me?" Fourth Master Zhu asked with a smile.

"Drink first, then talk." Wei Wenjin raised his glass, "I have heard about Fourth Master's recent heroic deeds, and I really admire him."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

The others saw this and drank all their glasses.

Fourth Master Zhu picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The wine slid down his throat like fire. He wanted to see what these people were going to do.

After finishing three glasses of wine, Zhu Liangzu stood up and said, "Would you like a drink? Since there are no beauties to dance, let me dance with my sword to add to the fun."

"Okay!" Lan Yu stood up, "I'll join you."

"And me." Huang Bin also stood up.

As soon as they arrived at the venue, a chilling atmosphere filled the air.

They each pulled out the swords at their waists and began to dance and fight with each other.

Their swordsmanship is not fancy, there are no complicated moves or gorgeous movements, but every move and every move is full of murderous power.

Fourth Master Zhu watched with interest and thought to himself, is this really the Hongmen Banquet?

His eyes were shining, and he could feel the chilling atmosphere in the field and the ruthlessness of the three men's swordsmanship.

……

"Fourth Master, I came to you today for one thing." Wei Wenjin raised his wine glass again and said with a smile, "You broke off Zhu Xian's arm, so I can be a peacemaker. You also break off your own arm, Then leave the capital and let this matter be over."

His tone was calm, yet extremely confident.

Fourth Master Zhu slowly took a sip of wine and smiled playfully: "Who do you think you are? Are you embarrassed?"

Wei Wenjin still had a smile on his face: "I know that Fourth Master, you are crazy, and your martial arts is unfathomable. But, once you enter Qianjin Terrace, I can't help you."

"Try?" Fourth Master Zhu raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, I said you're so old, why are you still so stubborn?" Wei Wenjin chuckled, "I've been told to eat enough, do you understand?"

"The last time you spoke to me like this, grass has already grown on your grave." Fourth Master Zhu rubbed his hands and stood up.

Swish swish!
The other eight people drew their knives and surrounded him.
