As the fat shopkeeper spoke, he took out some scraps of silver from his waist and wanted to dismiss these small traders like beggars.
The few vendors at the front were a little dissatisfied when they heard what the fat shopkeeper said, but when they saw the broken silver in his hand, they immediately stopped talking.
The people who had the most fun quickly left with satisfaction, but there were still four people standing at the door of the teahouse, looking through the fat shopkeeper at Zhu Gui behind him with gloomy eyes.
"I've given you all the money? Why don't you leave? What are you doing? Do you want to cause trouble? Come on, don't hinder our business, otherwise I will report you to the government."
The fat shopkeeper said impatiently.
He also wants to get closer to the young prince, so how can he have time to talk to these people?
He slapped the person in front with one hand and tried to push him out.
But unexpectedly, the other party didn't move at all.
The fat shopkeeper was shocked and angry. This time he used both hands and all his strength.
Although a large part of his 200 kilograms of weight is empty weight, his strength is really not small.
However, the leader just glanced at him with a mocking look on his face.
He still didn't make any move, but beads of sweat rolled down the fat shopkeeper's face, and the other party's body remained motionless.
This makes the fat shopkeeper feel very embarrassed.
He couldn't lose his composure in front of the young prince behind him.
So he immediately shouted: "Hu Zi, Zhu Zhu, come back and help me push him out."
When the two boys heard what the fat shopkeeper said, they ran over immediately.
The three of them worked together to push the man, but the situation remained the same.
This time, the fat shopkeeper finally couldn't keep it off his face and even shouted a slogan: "One, two..."
But before he finished shouting, the other party turned sideways, and the fat shopkeeper and the two boys immediately fell out of the door.
The four people kept looking at Zhu Gui, and finally walked towards him with steady steps.
"Your Majesty, will you come with us?" the leader said, cupping his fists to Zhu Gui.
"You are really here for me. Tell me, who are you?" Zhu Gui had both guns in hand and was not panicked at all. On the contrary, he was a little surprised by the other party's confident attitude.
He guessed in his mind that these people might not have any background in the imperial court, otherwise they would not have any understanding of the "Royal Garden Coup".
The four people looked at each other and then smiled.
The leader said: "We are members of the Money Gang. The gang leader is very interested in the prince's business, so he would like to invite the prince to come to the gang for a gathering, please?"
After saying that, the four people lined up on both sides and made a gesture of invitation.
"The king has important matters today. I will visit your country another day. Please come back first."
Zhu Gui was not sure how many people came this time, so he did not anger the other party.
"This is not up to you, Your Majesty. If you can't invite Your Majesty to go back, it will be difficult for us. Since Your Majesty doesn't want to go, don't blame us for using some extraordinary means."
The leader still spoke, and then made a gesture to the other three, and the four of them surrounded Zhu Gui.
Zhu Gui sighed and pointed his gun at the man in front of him.
The man frowned, but he didn't show any fear.
The man next to him quickly warned: "Be careful, it might be some powerful hidden weapon."
"Hmph, what kind of hidden weapon can hurt me at such a close distance?"
"Don't be reckless, we can't hurt the King this time."
These four people obviously didn't know anything about the pistol in Zhu Gui's hand, and they were still chatting leisurely.
Only two "bang bangs" interrupted their conversation.
The two of them covered their chests and fell down with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
When the remaining two people saw this, their expressions changed and they suddenly rushed forward.
However, Zhu Gui didn't give them any chance, and with two more "bang bang" shots, the two men were immediately killed on the spot.
The fat shopkeeper and the two boys ran in, but the scene before them almost scared them out of their wits.
"This, this..." the fat shopkeeper stuttered.
Zhu Gui took out another banknote: "Take care of these corpses properly. These are your rewards. If anything happens in the future, go to Dai Wang's Mansion, but don't use the banner of Dai Wang's Mansion."
Zhu Gui said and turned around and went upstairs.
Halfway through, he remembered something and said to the fat shopkeeper who was staring blankly at the four corpses: "If someone from the Prince's Palace comes later, let them wait for me downstairs."
"yes."
The fat shopkeeper finally came to his senses, and after picking up the banknote, his eyes immediately lit up.
"You two boys are in luck. If you handle this matter well, we will be members of the Prince's Palace from now on. Do you see, this is one thousand taels. If you finish the matter here, I will give you one hundred taels each."
two,."
The fat shopkeeper said confidently.
The two boys were a little scared when they saw the dead people, but when they heard that there were still one hundred taels available for the person who could become the Prince of Dai, their eyes immediately changed.
You must know that even if they work hard in this store for twenty years, they may not be able to have one hundred taels. This money can completely change their lives.
…
Upstairs, Zhu Gui listened to the sounds for a long time before finally finding Xu Miaoqing, who was sitting in a box by the window and eating candied haws.
"Why did you come up here?" Xu Miaoqing continued to look at the temple fair downstairs without looking back.
Zhu Gui was stunned for a moment. Originally, he wanted to ask the other party why he didn't go downstairs to help him, but now he felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.
Xu Miaoqing must have believed that his ability could handle that kind of situation, so she would wait for him here.
"Things were a bit tricky, so I spent a little more time. By the way, do you know about the Qian Gang?" Zhu Gui looked downstairs. This is indeed the best place to watch the temple fair.
All the situations on the street were clearly visible. He had not thought of it before, but was squeezed into the crowd. This made Zhu Gui a little speechless.
"The Money Gang? It is said to be an underground gang in Nanjing. It is more powerful than the Salt Gang. It usually makes a living by collecting protection fees from businessmen. How do you know about them?"
Xu Miaoqing withdrew her eyes and looked at Zhu Gui.
No wonder, Zhu Gui thought in his mind.
Many things suddenly came to mind in his mind.
It turns out that these small and medium-sized businesses in Nanjing are so cooperative, to a large extent because they are fed up with the oppression of the money gang, right?
But what he didn't expect was that under Zhu Yuanzhang's high-pressure policy of governing the country, such a large underground organization would spawn in Nanjing.
Or did Zhu Yuanzhang already know about it, but because the other party only targeted businessmen, he didn't take it to heart?
After all, focusing on agriculture and suppressing business was a traditional national policy for Zhu Yuanzhang.
