Chapter 153

There is a three-foot-wide moat in Yunhe County. When Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to the city gate, he looked at the whole city and thought of something, but Zhu Yuanzhang ignored it and walked forward.

"Stop!" The rebels guarding the city stopped Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled flatteringly: "Master Jun, what's going on?"

"Hmph! Master Tu's son was killed by bandits. I think your suspicious behavior must be the work of bandits." The soldier guarding the city said, looking at the basket on the side.

Zhu Yuanzhang followed his eyes and saw that the basket on his back was already full of coppers. Zhu Yuanzhang immediately took out a piece of broken silver and said, "Let Mr. Tu express his condolences!"

The pawn's eyes lit up when he saw Yin Zi and said, "I was mistaken. You can go in."

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the pawn kick the silver into his pocket with quick eyes and hands, and just shook his head helplessly.

When I entered the city, I saw Bai Ling everywhere, and the whole street was quiet.

Zhu Yuanzhang originally thought that the Tu family had won the hearts of the people, and the people spontaneously expressed their condolences to them, but at the street corner he saw a group of soldiers wearing linen clothes and white silk ribbons tied around their waists, staring at the people on the roadside. Seeing this scene, Zhu Yuanzhang secretly remembered it in his heart.

After crossing two streets and seeing the Zhou Ji Tea Stall not far away, Zhu Yuanzhang sat down and said, "Boss, bring a pot of scented tea!"

A man came over carrying a hot teapot and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty, your scented tea."

But he tilted his body and splashed tea on Zhu Yuanzhang. The boss wiped the tea on himself and said, "This guest, you deserve to die!"

"How did you manage to get such good clothes?" Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sullen look on his face.

The boss pulled Zhu Yuanzhang towards the house next to him and said after entering the house: "Second brother, hurry up and find some clean clothes for the distinguished guest to change into. I still have something to do at the tea stall!"

A middle-aged man walked out of the inner courtyard and said anxiously: "Look at how anxious you are all the time. Can you give me back the money for these clothes?"

"Okay!"

The tea stall owner turned around and left. The middle-aged man respectfully said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "My tailor has met your Excellency."

"Talk in the room" Zhu Yuanzhang walked into the room first.

"Have you found out how many people are here?"

"Your Majesty, I know about five thousand people, but there seems to be something going on at Tu's house. However, the Tu family is tightly guarded and I can't do anything. Please punish me!" The tailor bowed and apologized.

"It's okay, where is Tu Tan?"

"Tu Yuanwai has no doubts. He always thought it was the hands of bandits. However, Xie Hongfang ordered someone to come the day before yesterday to ask Tu Yuanwai to postpone the burial."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Is Xie Hongfang coming over?"

"I haven't heard of this, but he was not allowed to be buried. I guess he was suspicious," the tailor guessed.

"Let the people over there keep an eye on Xie Hongfang's movements, and ask the brothers along the way to keep an eye on Weichang in Qianxi County!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished arranging these things, he left the house. The tea stall owner said apologetically: "Your guest is here again!"

"Go, go, who are you?" Zhu Yuanzhang tossed a piece of silver and said, "Don't say that I took advantage of you."

"Thank you sir!"

This scene was seen by the little beggar who was hiding aside. He turned around and ran towards the City God's Temple in the west of the city. There was no incense in the City God's Temple. After all, no one had anything to eat and there was no food for the City God. It was full of dirty beggars.

The little beggar ran into the temple and shouted loudly before he could catch his breath: "Yes, there is a big fish!"

"Scorpion, have you been driven out by ghosts?" the leader scolded sleepily as he lay at the feet of the City God.

The little beggar continued: "I saw a stranger in the city who spent a lot of money, just a penny."

When the beggar in charge heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Really!"

Everyone surrounded the little beggar. They had not had water or rice for two days. Because Tu Yuanwai's son died, all the major restaurants in the city were not allowed to open, so all the beggars could only stay here and rely on themselves to support themselves.

At this time, they heard the appearance of a rich man showing off, like a group of hungry wolves seeing a delicious lamb. Everyone immediately stood up and said: "Brothers, the good days are just around the corner. Cheer up."

"Scorpion, hurry up and keep an eye on him. Don't let our meat tickets get away."

The little beggar scratched his head and said, "I know, brother."

The little beggar had red spots all over his head, so he scratched his head all day long. He immediately picked up his pants and ran outside.

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that someone was staring at him from behind, and he sneered and immediately got in from a small alley. The little beggar suddenly noticed that the figure disappeared not far away, and immediately chased after him.

Suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Why are you following me?"

When the little beggar heard Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, he suddenly changed his face and said with a sad face: "Uncle, I haven't eaten for several days. Please have mercy on me."

"How old is the baby?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the thin little beggar with pity in his eyes.

"I don't know, I haven't had my parents since I was a child, and I don't know my birth date," the little beggar said, his eyes slightly red.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Zhu Yuanzhang caressed the little beggar's hand and saw the red spots on his head and said, "What's your name?"

"Leprechaun"

"Scorpion? This name doesn't work. Wait until I change your name." Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish speaking, a double image suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and he fell to the ground the next moment.

The little beggar looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and was a little stunned.

"Good job, Lezi!"

Several beggars walked out of the shadows, groped for Zhu Yuanzhang, and took out a certain amount of silver. The beggars were all happy: "Brother, silver!"

"I'm not fucking blind yet." The beggar leader grabbed it and kissed it hard himself and said, "Baby!"

"Brother, hurry up and get some food for the brothers. The search just took a lot of effort. I was already hungry and now I am even hungrier," one of them said.

"Look at how hopeless you are, brother, I'll invite you to a restaurant today!" the beggar leader said, holding up the silver.

"Brother, what should he do?" the little beggar asked.

"Brother, I think it's better to kill him," one of them said viciously.

When the little beggar heard this, he immediately said: "Brother, I don't think he can be killed. He is so rich, we will definitely be able to squeeze more money out of him."

"Okay, boy," the beggar leader said, giving the little beggar a gentle kiss.

"Carry him back to the temple!"

The tailor and the tea stall owner hiding in the dark looked at each other and followed. They were a little confused as to why the adults did not let them take action but were willing to be kidnapped by them. The beggar leader took the silver and walked to the market.

When the merchants saw the beggar leader, they waved their hands in disgust and said, "Go, go, I don't have any money to give you."

The beggar leader showed his money and said, "I see no one has money!"

When everyone saw the silver in his hand, they immediately said: "Oh, you are good at doing business."

"Catch him!" a voice sounded.

The two men rushed forward, pushed the beggar leader to the ground, and snatched away the money. They thought the sergeant came over and said viciously: "You have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard, and you dare to steal our master's money."
