The alley two streets away from Prince Zhao's Mansion is a vegetable market.
The ground is still a primitive dirt street, with stalls selling vegetables on both sides.
In Beijing in winter, there are no fresh vegetables on the market. Most of them are white radish, Chinese cabbage, potatoes, and a few large winter melons cut into pieces.
On the stall of Mr. and Mrs. Sun, in addition to the above-mentioned vegetables, there are also several large pumpkins, bundles of garlic sprouts, and a pile of dry-looking baby spinach.
Zhu Gaosui changed into casual clothes, followed by Mr. Zhang, who was also dressed in ordinary people's clothes, and staggered into the vegetable market.
"Authentic old hen, buy it and make soup to drink, it will make you strong."
"Buy a big domestic rooster and eat it for meat. It will keep you energetic."
"Big radish, authentic stored radish, can be eaten raw or stir-fried."
“The big pumpkin from years ago guarantees sweet dry noodles...”
When they saw someone walking in, the vegetable farmers on both sides shouted loudly.
Zhu Gaosui took a casual look and slowly walked towards the booth of Mr. and Mrs. Sun.
"Why are you shouting? You are the only one with the loudest voice in the whole street. Are you going to let others do business?" A voice came from the entrance of the alley.
A young man who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old was belching wine, pointing unsteadily at the vendors on the street, and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, this person is Sun Wu, the adopted son of Ma Chao, the eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies." Glancing at this person, Mr. Zhang whispered.
"Well, let's act according to the opportunity." Zhu Gaosui responded.
At this time, Sun Wu was a great figure in the eyes of the people in the alley. With a eunuch who was working in the palace as his godfather, no one dared to say anything wrong even if he was walking sideways in the alley, let alone just
He yelled a lot.
"This little brother is very generous. I originally wanted to buy some food, but I was upset by the loud shouting. I just wanted to stop them, but I didn't expect the little brother to be a step too fast." Zhu Gaosui walked forward and squeezed out a smile.
road.
When Fu was older, he would yell and yell in the street. According to Zhu Gaosui's previous temper, he would have been killed on the spot with a knife.
But at this moment, Zhu Gaosui had to suppress the anger in his heart for the sake of the godfather behind him.
"Who are you? You call me little brother. Do you know who I am?" Sun Wu looked at the man in front of him who was dressed in common clothes. He was worthy enough to call me brother in front of the neighbors.
Seeing how arrogant Sun Wu was, Zhu Gaosui could no longer suppress his anger and glared angrily.
"At such a young age, you don't even have any tutoring. In the past, your life would have been in danger today. Put away your arrogance. If you dare to call yourself uncle in front of me again, I will make your blood splatter on the spot."
Sun Wu was stunned, who was this person? He spoke in a loud tone.
But after seeing the cloth on the other side and drinking some wine, he took out a dagger from his waist.
"Discipline me? Who is qualified to discipline me besides my godfather?"
As he said that, he actually raised the dagger in his hand and stabbed Zhu Gaosui.
Pedestrians on the street saw that Sun Wu actually took out a dagger and wanted to commit murder, so they all stepped aside and did not dare to step forward.
Even the couple surnamed Sun had worries and fears in their eyes, and they stood still, not daring to do anything to stop them.
Although this Sun Wu was born in a commoner family, he was loved very much by the Sun couple. He held it in his mouth for fear of melting, and held it in his arms for fear of getting cold.
He was pampered and lawless since he was a child. Especially after he recognized his adoptive father, he didn't take his parents seriously.
If he rushes forward at this moment, he may be the one who gets stabbed.
If you stab yourself, it's not easy to report it to the official.
If you stab someone else and are arrested by the government and given a good discipline, you may be able to return to your original nature.
Zhu Gaosui was so angry that he was about to teach Sun Wu a lesson, when a figure flashed in front of him.
Mr. Zhang was already standing in front of him, holding Sun Wu's wrist with his right hand. With a slight shake, the dagger fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Do you know who the person standing in front of you is? Even if you want to die, don't implicate your tribe." Zhang Lao snorted coldly, looked back at the bewildered Sun couple, escorted Sun Wu and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
.
"Let me go, do you know who my godfather is? If my godfather knew that someone was bullying me like this, he wouldn't send anyone to mess with you." Sun Wu shouted loudly.
Mr. Zhang remained silent, twisted his wrist, pushed his shoulder with one hand and walked towards Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"Let go, uncle, didn't you hear what he said?" Sun Wu struggled hard, trying to get rid of him.
Zhang Lao slapped him on the back of the head: "Open your dog eyes and see where is ahead?"
Sun Wu was extremely familiar with this area. In front of him was Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"You want to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion to report to the official? But Prince Zhao has always lived in a simple way since he lived here. We neighbors have never seen him once, so how can we pay attention to these civil disputes. Please let me go quickly.
No, I won't argue with you, just pretend this never happened." Seeing that these two people were really going to send him to Prince Zhao's Mansion, Sun Wu's tone softened.
The King of Zhao and the King of Han did a lot of random things in the capital. Killing someone when they were angry was like killing a chicken.
So what if his adoptive father is an eunuch in the palace? His father is the emperor in the palace.
Although King Zhao no longer takes to the streets, his remaining power is still there.
"You are so soft-spoken now, are you scared?" Mr. Zhang slapped him on the back of the head again and continued to move forward.
Zhu Gaosui had a gloomy face and walked silently in front with his hands behind his back.
Sun Wu was still struggling, but in a blink of an eye, he had arrived at the gate of Prince Zhao's Mansion.
"Your Majesty!" The two guards at the door put back their spears and bowed their bodies to salute Zhu Gaosui who was walking in front.
This call made Sun Wu in Mr. Zhang's hands completely give up his struggle.
He looked blankly at Zhu Gaosui who was slowly walking into the gate of the palace, half awake from the wine.
The tall man in civilian clothes in front of him is actually the current emperor's biological son, King Zhao Zhu Gaosui.
And I actually called myself uncle in front of him. I want King Zhao to call me uncle??
Sun Wu's legs were weak, his face was pale, and there was a thick layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Come on, your legs are weak now? Weren't you very arrogant just now?" Mr. Zhang let go of Sun Wu's wrist and directly picked up his belt, like a chicken, and carried it into the palace gate.
Zhu Gaosui sat down on the chair in the living room and looked at the door coldly.
General Zhang threw Sun Wu in his hand to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this kid bumped into you. Do you want me to chop him up?"
Hearing the word chop, Sun Wu was already panicking and felt as if the sky was falling. He knelt on the ground and began to kowtow.
"Your Majesty, spare your life. For a pariah like me, it's not worth dirtying the palace. I will never dare to do it again. I will never forget your prince's kindness in not killing me."
With his head facing the floor, he knocked his head violently "dong dong dong".
Zhu Gaosui looked at Sun Wu who was completely conquered, with an imperceptible sinister smile flashing in his eyes.
