Boys' Journey Chapter 52 Misunderstanding?
Zhu Yunwen finally squeezed into the crowd under the protection of Jia Yuntong, but he never expected that what he would see would be this scene.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Ren with cold eyes and asked, "Why is it you again?"
Zhang Ren could only bite the bullet and said, "I also heard that King Yan will be leaving in a few days, so I wanted to come over and practice it for you."
Zhu Di's eyes were full of coldness and he asked: "You bullied my son and beat my brother-in-law. Is this how you, the boy, have practiced for me?"
Yes, this doesn't look like practice, it's just like a deliberate slap in Zhu Di's face. Today, many courtiers and nobles came to visit, but the servant reported that King Yan's son and brother-in-law were actually looking down upon him. After being beaten, everyone came to take a look. Well, they really wanted to see who dared to bully King Yan's son and brother-in-law.
These courtiers and nobles were relieved when they saw Zhang Ren. During this period, Zhang Ren's name was definitely well-known in Jinling City. Many of their nephews were friends with Zhang Ren. They knew that Zhang Ren was You can definitely do this kind of thing.
Of course, in the eyes of these courtiers and nobles, they did not regard Zhang Ren as a little Zhuge like the younger generation, but rather as a stupid young man with a little wisdom.
Zhang Ren looked at King Yan's brother-in-law, who had been beaten into a pig's head by him, and knew that he might have stabbed Lou Zi again today, but he did not regret it, after all, he was on the side of justice.
Zhang Ren cupped his hands towards Zhu Di and said: "I really want to come and practice it for you today, but the road is very noisy. When I came over, I saw your brother-in-law beating a beggar. Even if he is a beggar, I think he has dignity. Yeah, how can you just fight at every turn? Peace in the world is not easy at all. Distinguished disciples should set an example. It’s okay if they don’t do good deeds on weekdays. How can they bully people everywhere? Isn’t your brother-in-law doing this a discredit on your face, King Yan? ?What sages have another saying, if you are poor, you can take care of yourself, and if you are rich, you can help the world. As a descendant of an honorable noble, you need money, connections, and connections. Isn’t it good to do more and do good deeds?”
What Zhang Ren said was so righteous, and he himself was quite proud of it. Look, we can all quote classics. It seems that our cultural level has also improved.
Zhu Di asked: "Since I said this, do I still want to thank you?"
Zhang Ren quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary."
Zhu Di asked again: "Then I ask you, where is the beggar who was bullied by my brother-in-law?"
Zhang Ren pointed to the beggar's position and blurted out: "That's right..."
Zhang Ren's words were abruptly interrupted. At this moment, he looked at the position he was pointing at. Was there any beggar there?
Zhu Di's face turned even darker, "This is the inner city of Jinling! This is the gate of the Duke of Wei's Mansion! Where did the beggar come from here?"
Zhang Ren could only face the wind and become messy. Where did the beggar go? King Yan was right, beggars would not appear here, but in the situation just now, he ignored this.
Zhang Ren forced out an ugly smile and said to Zhu Di, "I told you this was a misunderstanding. Do you believe it?"
At this moment, Zhu Di was filled with anger. He didn't know why. This Zhang Ren always wanted to lose his face. After spending several years at the border and leading troops in battles, Zhu Di had already developed a very domineering character. Except for Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince, other people's face He gave nothing.
Seeing that Zhu Di was about to get angry, Zhu Yunwen quickly stood next to Zhang Ren, cupped his hands towards Zhu Di and said, "Fourth uncle, please don't get angry. There must be some misunderstanding."
Seeing Zhu Yunwen step forward, Jia Yuntong naturally followed him and stayed beside Zhu Yunwen.
Zhu Di sneered, nodded and said: "You have made great progress, you actually dare to stand upright and speak in front of me."
Fu Rang, who was in the crowd, gritted his teeth and stood next to Zhang Ren. At this time, many young nobles stood up. This shows that Zhang Ren was really doing well among these noble youngsters.
Fu Rang also cupped his hands and said: "Prince Yan, please calm down. I called Brother Ren here. There must be a misunderstanding."
Zhu Di was even more angry. All the noble disciples stood on Zhang Ren's side. Wasn't this a group to slap him in the face?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and finally he couldn't calm down the anger in his chest, so he slapped Fu Rang in the face.
The force of this slap was quite strong, and there were clear palm prints on half of Fu Rang's face. Fu Rang covered half of his face, but did not dare to make a sound.
However, this slap also made Zhu Di's anger dissipate a lot. He snorted coldly, looked at Fu Rang and said: "How can you, kid, have any say here?"
Zhang Ren stepped forward to support Fu Rang and turned around to argue with Zhu Di. Fu Rang also had quick eyesight and quick hands. He grabbed Zhang Ren and shook his head gently. Disciples of noble families are used to judging the situation. What kind of person can't be offended? , they know it well.
Zhu Di turned to his mellow son and said, "Gao Chi, tell me! What happened?"
Just listen to Zhu Gaochi say: "My uncle also knows that we are going back to Peking, and we don't know when we will see each other again. My uncle thought about taking me to the street to buy some gifts today. Who knows that I just came out of the house and encountered a pickpocket?" , Fortunately, my uncle was very skilled and captured the pickpocket on the spot. The pickpocket started crying and begging for mercy. When he saw that my uncle had no intention of letting him go, he yelled that he was bullying others."
Zhu Gaochi said, pointed at Zhang Ren, and continued: "Then this man rushed out and beat my uncle without even listening to anyone's explanation."
Zhang Ren continued to be messy in the wind. The Jin Yiwei is harmful to people. Aren't they arresting assassins and cracking down on gangsters recently? Why are there pickpockets on the street? And that Zhu Di's brother-in-law, what are you pretending to be when I ask questions? Why don't you just make it clear? Why are you pretending to be an expert or being profound? The key is that you are not an expert except that you are a little stronger...
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Ren and said, "What else do you have to say?"
Zhang Ren had no choice but to step forward and said, "I have nothing to say. I feel free to hit or punish you."
Since you know that you are wrong, you will never shirk it. A real man is the one who dares to take action. The worst he can do is to be fattened away?
Zhu Di also raised his hand high, but before he could slap him, he was stopped by his brother-in-law.
The brother-in-law's name is Xu Zengshou, the youngest son of the late Wei Guogong Xu Da.
Just listen to Xu Zengshou say: "Brother-in-law, please don't get angry. Whether what happened today is a misunderstanding or not, it's because my skills are inferior to others."
As he spoke, Xu Zengshou looked at Zhang Ren again and continued: "I will retaliate for this tone in the future, and I will repay this beating in the future."
Zhu Di finally put his hand down. He patted Xu Zengshou on the shoulder and said, "Okay! I really didn't disgrace your father's reputation!"
After Zhu Di finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Ren with a cold look, then turned around and left.
