Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Chapter 37 The cruel truth

Zhu Chong's eyes were red and filled with murderous intent. He punched the fallen supervisor with violent force and smashed his fist straight at his head!
Zhu Chong was the best fighter among Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. He was tall and strong, and was born with supernatural powers.

Although he is a bit stubborn, he is less intelligent than ordinary people.

But when it comes to martial arts, few can match him.

If a real fight breaks out, it would be difficult for the third and fourth brothers, two men with outstanding martial arts skills, to suppress him even if they use underhanded tactics together.

Now this man not only beat him, but also cursed his mother, the person he cared about the most. Zhu Chong was furious and attacked with such force that one can imagine!

Even if he didn't have anything in his hand, it would be painful for the man to be hit by his punch.

Even if you don't die, you will lose half your life!

The craftsmen around were stunned after seeing this scene.

No one expected that this big man would have such a hot temper and be so brave!

He actually dared to attack the supervisor directly!

I felt surprised, admired, and relieved, and thought that these damn supervisors should have been killed long ago.

I couldn't help but feel sorry for this big guy.

This big guy is finished, he will definitely die next!

Even if he is a good fighter, how many can he beat?
Can I kill one or ten?

But in this Zhongdu city, there are more than hundreds of thousands of supervising yamen runners and soldiers.

In addition to these, Fengyang also has four guards and horses, with more than 20,000 elite soldiers stationed there.

He had followed Emperor Zhu out of the chaotic world, stepping on mountains of corpses and seas of blood to fight his way out. He was such a good fighter!

"Second brother, stop!"

"Stop it, second brother!"

In this critical situation, Zhu Gang and Zhu Di, who knew their second brother's temper well and had been paying close attention to him when they saw him being beaten, flew over.

They held Zhu Chong together to prevent his punch from hitting the supervisor, whose eyes were filled with horror.

"What are you doing?"

"Do you want to die?!"

Two more voices were heard immediately, and two figures also ran over and worked together to pull Zhu Chong.

One of them is Lao Miao, the leader of their team.

The other one was the one who had never spoken a word.

Zhu Chong was so angry at this point that he would never give up easily.
He was filled with extraordinary strength, and four people couldn't hold him back.

"Brother, don't forget where this is!"

After Zhu Di said this, Zhu Chong stopped struggling.

Seeing this, Zhu Di let go of Zhu Chong and hurried over to help the supervisor who had fallen to the ground.

He nodded and bowed, kept apologizing, saying that his second brother was not very smart, and asked the sir to forgive his mistakes and show mercy.

The supervisor, who had been almost frightened to death by Zhu Chong, suddenly became arrogant again when he saw Zhu Chong being held back.

His face was ferocious.

I feel so embarrassed!

A dog who can be ordered around, beaten and scolded by him at will, dares to show his teeth to him?
"You bastard, you bastard! Who do you think you are? How dare you resist your superiors?
I will kill you today!"

He cursed angrily and drew the sword from his waist!

"What are you doing? Hurry up and admit your mistake to Master Bao!"

At this moment, Lao Miao, who was covered in stone foam, stood in front of Zhu Chong, slapped him twice on the head, kicked him a few times, and shouted at him loudly.

And he winked at Zhu Chong vigorously.

After beating Zhu Chong, he hurriedly smiled at the man and said, "Master Bao, this new guy is ignorant and naive. It's my fault for not teaching him well.

No suitable work was assigned to me.

Please be kind and don't bear grudges. Give him a chance.

This guy looks like an animal, but when it comes to work, he can do the work of three people!

Now the pressure is on, it would be a pity to kill such a fool, it would be better to keep him and let him continue working.

I promise to teach him well and won't let him do anything stupid again!"

Zhu Di also hurriedly followed and apologized.

He kept assuring everyone that he would keep an eye on his second brother and that such a situation would never happen again.

After a while, Mr. Bao finally managed to suppress his anger.

"For Lao Miao's sake, I'll let you go today!
Otherwise, I will kill you!"

He cursed and spat in Zhu Chong's face.

Zhu Di had murderous intent in his heart, but he nodded and bowed, and kept thanking his second brother.

When it comes to acting skills and flexibility, the second oldest Prince Qin and the third oldest Prince Jin are no match for him.

"Uncle Miao, thank you.

I will definitely thank you handsomely in the future!"

After the supervisor Bao Ye went aside, Zhu Di thanked Lao Miao.

"From now on, you will also be an official!"

Prince of Jin, Zhu Gang, also expressed his gratitude.

"Ugh……"

Lao Miao sighed, waved his hands and said, "We are all miserable people, just trying to make a living.

I won't say thank you or not, I'm lucky enough to be alive until Zhongdu City is completed."

He didn't take Zhu Gang's suggestion of making him an official seriously at all.

And he felt that among the three brothers of the Wu family, two were half fools.

Only Wu Jian, the youngest, has a bright mind. Will he be given an official position in the future?

Do you think you are the county magistrate and your father is the county magistrate?

Appoint someone an official position just by opening your mouth?
If your father is really the county magistrate, can you still be immigrated and sent to Zhongdu City to do labor?
Even if his family had some ability in the past, but it has come to this point now, I am afraid that nine out of ten times, they are the descendants of officials.

Wouldn't it be a joke to say this now?

After Xu Chu was appointed as an official, King Jin Zhu Gang waited for Lao Miao to thank him.

But it was ignored.

This made Zhu Gang extremely uncomfortable, and he wanted to speak up to explain himself and prove his strength.

But when the words came to his lips, he forced himself to hold them back.

In this situation, even if he said that he was the emperor's biological son, he would be regarded as talking nonsense.

I had to hold all of this in, holding back a lot of emotions...

"Thank you very much, brother. What's your name?"

As Zhu Di picked up his tools and started working, he approached a man who looked to be in his twenties and asked him questions with appropriate gratitude.

This person was the other person who had just stepped forward to help pull Zhu Chong.

"My last name is Shen, no need to thank me."

The man glanced at Zhu Di and continued working with his hammer and chisel.

Looks like he's too lazy to talk.

He was completely different from when he stepped forward to stop Zhu Chong just now.

Zhu Di did not take it as an offense at all and still felt grateful to this man.

It is truly commendable that they were able to lend a helping hand to their brothers in the situation just now.

As a human being, you need to distinguish between good and evil.

"Thank you, Brother Shen."

Zhu Di thanked the man sincerely, said nothing more, and started to work seriously.

Zhu Chong was also assigned a simpler but more physically demanding job by Lao Miao.

Responsible for transporting stones, etc. here.

This kind of work is obviously more suitable for him...

After working hard for a while, there was a commotion not far away.

It turned out to be Commander Ding Bin, who brought people to check the progress of the project.

The team's progress did not meet the requirements for the second time.

This time, Ding Bin didn't even whip them. He simply ordered the person in charge of supervision and the team of 26 people to kneel on the ground and beheaded them all.

Then, with a bloody head, he went to check the progress of the other teams.

The twenty-seven headless corpses were left lying there in a mess.

The steaming blood slowly cooled down and the body became stiff.

On the side are many laborers who work hard without stopping for a moment.

Here, human life is worthless and the boundary between the living and the dead is not clear.

This scene caused a great shock to Zhu Chong, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di, and the other two newcomers...

……

It was already very late at night, and Zhu Di and the other three finally received the order to leave work.

It really is like hearing the sound of nature.

"No food?"

"How could it be? Just thinking about good things."

Dragging his tired body, he followed Lao Miao and others to the dirty and leaky shack of their team.

Seeing many people falling asleep, Zhu Chong, who was so hungry that he couldn't bear it, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking.

They started working in the afternoon and only ate two steamed buns each in the evening and drank a bowl of hot soup with only a few chopped vegetable leaves. Apart from that, they did not eat any other food.

He was not full to begin with, and after dinner he had to do heavy work for more than two hours, so he was already starving.

I just wanted to be given something to eat after doing so much work, even if it was just a steamed bun.

As a result, I got this answer.

The dog Li Shanchang!

This is too inhumane!
Even if they were using animals, they wouldn't use them like this!

The three brothers cursed in their hearts.

But there was no other way, so he had to endure the hunger, squeeze in the crowd, and sleep under a tattered quilt that had not been taken apart and washed in who knows how many years and had covered who knows how many people.

It was only because of the three of them, who were strong and sturdy, especially the second one who wanted to deal with the supervisor today, and others dared not to mess with them, that the three of them were able to share such a good quilt.

Otherwise it will be more uncomfortable.

Listening to the snoring one after another and their stomachs rumbling, the three brothers found it difficult to fall asleep.

Being hungry is secondary.

More importantly, the short period of life in Zhongdu City has completely overturned all their previous cognition.

When they accepted the task from their father, knowing that they would be allowed to enter Zhongdu City as ordinary people and most likely to work in Zhongdu City, they had already made the corresponding preparations in their hearts.

But only after experiencing it personally did they realize how shallow their previous understanding of the suffering of Zhongdu City was!
This magnificent and majestic Zhongdu City, which they had longed for and expected before, was actually built in this way!

What made them unable to sleep, devastated and depressed was that

They found that they were so weak and powerless when they were stripped of the identity of the emperor's sons given to them by their father.

There is nothing I can do but go with the flow and be at the mercy of others!
This made them, who always thought they could call the shots and were different from ordinary people, feel extremely uncomfortable...

After a long silence, a dark figure slowly approached the three brothers from the snoring shack...
