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

Chapter 65 Zhu Di: Getting beaten in the middle before starting a business

Wu Yi Lane.

On a huge rock, eight-year-old Zhu Di stood with his hands behind his back, an expression that looked like he was bowing to Ni Tianxia.

He looked at the hundreds of young men from the Zhatian Gang who were standing in front of him, and his heart was filled with pride like fire.

At this moment, he felt his father's ambition to conquer the world.

"See the gang leader!"

"The leader of the gang has achieved martial virtue and benefited the people. He will rule the world for thousands of years!"

The Zhatian Gang all paid homage to the gang leader Zhu Di.

During the recent period, their Zhatian Gang has expanded rapidly, with the Qinhuai River as the center, and they have taken over all the nearby streets.

Collecting garbage, removing garbage, etc., the more they do it, the easier it becomes.

Shops on the street are willing to pay this money because the streets are clean and tidy and no one throws garbage or spits anywhere anymore.

Zhu Di is full of sense of accomplishment.

Especially Xu Miaoyun's praise made him excited and wanted to expand his territory again.

Take Yingtian City.

No, take the palace.

"Brothers, you have to be tough on those who litter, you know that?" Zhu Di lectured, "We are the underworld, and the Zhatian Gang will soon become the number one gang in the capital."

"Yes!" All the young men agreed.

"Work." Zhu Di waved his hand.

The teenagers immediately dispersed and flocked to various streets.

Zhu Di himself took Ah Fu and a dozen of them, walking as if they were relatives, and turned towards a street.

Ah Fu asked as he walked: "Gang leader, the number one gang in the capital is your master's beggar gang. Why do you want to replace Master Qi?"

"Why, no?"

Zhu Di spread his hands and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, "What belongs to my master will belong to me sooner or later."

Ah Fu blinked: "You are so filial."

Zhu Di shook his head and sighed softly, as if he hated iron and said: "Hey, my master has fallen and hangs out with Zhao Xuanzhen from Feiyan Tower. Sooner or later, he will fall into the hands of a woman."

Ah Fu looked strange.

What the hell, when you saw my young lady, she looked like she was in a mess?
……

Empress Ma and her maid Yu'er quietly left the palace today and walked into the bustling streets of Yingtian City to feel the long-lost atmosphere of the city.

"Outside the palace are the fireworks of the world." Queen Ma sighed, "The splendid palace, although rich and glorious, is ultimately a boring cage."

"Your Majesty, be careful, you are the queen." Yu'er reminded, but her eyes also showed curiosity and yearning for the world outside the palace.

"In this bustling street, I am just an ordinary woman." Queen Ma looked around, "Today, we are going to enjoy the delicious food in the market and buy some interesting small items to go back."

"Yes, empress." Yu'er responded, her eyes shining with excitement.

Queen Ma suddenly noticed that the streets were much cleaner than before, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Yu'er, look at this street, it's so clean and tidy, it's very different from the past. Yingtian Mansion finally started to clean it up, these new garbage baskets are really It’s a lot more convenient.”

Looking at the neat streets, she felt much better.

The two of them came to a familiar sesame seed shop. The aroma was fragrant and mouth-watering. When Uncle Liu, the sesame seed seller, saw them, he greeted them warmly: "Madam, I haven't seen you for a long time. Why are you free to come here today?"

"I've been busy with trivial matters lately." Queen Ma responded with a smile, "Let's try two sesame biscuits first, and then pack ten. I'll come and get them later."

"Okay, madam, please wait a moment." Uncle Liu quickly started making sesame seed cakes.

While he was busy, he accurately threw the garbage into the trash basket next to him.

Queen Ma looked at it and said with a smile: "This Yingtian Mansion finally knows how to clean up the streets."

"Ying Tianfu?"

Uncle Liu snorted coldly, his eyes full of anger, "How can those officials take care of this matter?" "Then this..." Queen Ma pointed to the garbage baskets and clean streets around her, with a puzzled look on her face.

"Oh, this is the work of the Zhaotian Gang." Uncle Liu said with a smile, "They charge us a bunch of copper coins every month and help us dispose of the garbage. They also clean the streets."

"Zhaotian Gang? Sounds like a gang?" Yu'er was curious.

"It's just a gang." Uncle Liu spread his hands, "I've never seen a gang like this. It's quite ferocious, but their gang leader is true to his word and never charges more."

Queen Ma frowned slightly after hearing this.

How could such a thing be allowed to happen in the majestic capital, at the feet of the emperor?
Isn't this threatening people and collecting protection fees?
……

The two bought sesame seed cakes and continued shopping.

Yu'er said while eating: "I'm quite curious about the Zhatian Gang. This name sounds silly."

Queen Ma glared at her.

Just as Yu'er finished eating, she threw the rough paper wrapping the sesame seed cakes on the ground.

"Stop!" a voice came from the street.

Then, seven or eight teenagers gathered around, led by Ah Fu, the deputy leader of the Zhatian Gang.

He followed Zhu Di's example, shaking his legs and shouting angrily: "Are you blind? You don't know how to throw garbage into the trash can? Fine, quick, a bunch of copper coins."

Queen Ma and Yu'er were stunned for a while.

Is this the Zhatian Gang?
"Little brat, get out of here." Yu'er rolled up her sleeves, "Be careful, auntie, I'll beat you up."

She is the queen's personal maid, so of course she is capable of martial arts.

When Ah Fu saw that it was a girl, he didn't take it seriously at all: "Do you know who we are? We are the Zhatian Gang. If you dare to go against us, I will take you back to warm the bed of our gang leader...ah..."

Before he could finish his words, he was knocked away by Yu'er's palm.

Ah Fu screamed, turned around and shouted to the street: "Gang leader, your ideas are tough, you are a practicing master."

Whoosh!
A small figure flew over and looked down upon Ah Fu who was lying on the ground: "How embarrassing!"

He put his hands behind his back, turned his head proudly, and then ran away.

"Fourth, stop!" Queen Ma shouted.

Zhu Di stopped and his face immediately fell.

Ah Fu and the others caught up with them, confused: "Gang leader, why are you still afraid? This is not like you."

"Go, go, go!" Zhu Di waved his hand.

Ah Fu and the others rolled away without any hesitation.

Empress Ma and Yu'er came over and looked up and down at Zhu Di in front of them. He was wearing a short coat and was dark, but his eyes were bright.

"Mother...mother." Zhu Di bowed respectfully.

"Hmph, you're the fourth child." Empress Ma snorted, "So you are the leader of the Zhaotian Gang. You have made a fortune. How dare you collect protection money from the people? You are still a gang member, you... look at you, how do you look like that? A prince?"

"Mother, my son is doing big things." Zhu Di said, "Those who achieve big things don't stick to trivial matters. Now I have more than a hundred people under my command. As long as I give an order..."

Snapped!
Empress Ma slapped him on the back of the head and said angrily: "I thought you had become a famous teacher and practiced martial arts and literature, but you... you joined a gang?"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The slaps fell one after another, and the majestic leader of the Zhatian Gang could only accept the beating.

"You are not even halfway through starting a business, but you are beaten in the middle." Zhu Di looked up to the sky and sighed, "God is jealous of talents."

Queen Ma: "???"

She grabbed Zhu Di's ears and walked to the palace.

"Zhu Chongba!" she said angrily, "Where is the famous teacher we agreed on? You don't want me to worry about it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reviewing the book in the Wenhua Hall, sneezed.

I always feel like someone is out to harm us!
