Wei Zhao didn't even think twice and asked, "Kid, is there something wrong with your eyes?"
Ye Shuo choked, then he said confidently: "Otherwise, look at how tall and heavy he is, and then look at how tall and heavy you are!"
"You're not the one bullying him, is it possible that he's the one bullying you?"
Taking a closer look, this unknown cousin is half a head taller than the young man named Zheng.
Wei Zhao almost laughed out of anger when he heard this: "Who told you that small and thin people are definitely good people?"
How come this child, at such a young age, has already learned to judge people by their appearance?
"I am clearly seeing injustice and helping others!"
"But, shouldn't the premise of doing good things be to make others feel at ease? If it adds trouble to others instead, how can it be called a good deed?" Ye Shuo knew that his cousin had good intentions, but...reality and ideals are different after all.
"Why not——"
Wei Zhao sneered, and subconsciously wanted to find a few witnesses. However, when he looked around, he only saw rejection and resistance in the eyes of the onlookers, especially the rouge and powder vendor, who immediately lowered his head when he saw him looking at him.
Even if Wei Zhao was slow-witted, he realized something was wrong at this moment.
Wei Zhao was stunned immediately.
It's not easy for the small vendors around here to make a living. They don't have a background like Wei Zhao and Mr. Zheng, so it's just a fight between gods and the suffering of mortals.
"So you see, you are clearly bullying others!"
After hearing this, and considering the reactions of the people around him, Wei Zhao was somewhat shocked.
No wonder my grandfather's family has such a bad reputation outside. The cousins are too destructive. Ordinary people would subconsciously distance themselves from them. After all, in this situation, it would be useless to get hurt.
But this matter is not just a problem of the cousins. Those who deliberately seduce others are the ones who deserve to be killed!
This is what Ye Shuo discovered, and there is no telling how many more there are that he has not discovered.
In the end, it's just a matter of everyone pushing down the wall.
What the superiors do is what the subordinates follow. No matter what the emperor's attitude is, those who try to guess his intentions will naturally make many small moves.
Just like the Mr. Zheng in front of him, it was obvious that he had no good intentions. Ye Shuo would feel sorry for him if he didn't return his original plan to him intact.
There was quite a commotion here, and after a while, the guards sent by his stepfather to escort him had almost all heard the news and rushed over.
He noticed that one of the guards looked around first and soon found himself standing in front of the group, so he hurriedly called out to the others in a low voice, and they slowly surrounded this place from all directions.
Seeing the other party getting closer, Ye Shuo seized the opportunity, took two or three steps forward, raised his head and looked at Mr. Zheng, as if he wanted to take credit: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Zheng, you see, everything is fine now, right? I am here, and I won't let him bully you."
The young master of the Zheng family almost vomited blood when he heard this.
His original intention was to lure Wei Zhao into action, and he was about to succeed, but suddenly a child appeared from nowhere and interfered, causing his plan to fail.
Young Master Zheng was so angry that he almost died. How could he have a good face towards this kid who ruined his plan?
It was a sign of his good temper that he didn't beat the kid up.
So when he saw him approaching him, the young master of the Zheng family pushed him without thinking: "Where did you come from, kid? Why are you meddling in other people's business? Get out of here!"
The Zheng family is now the Queen's family, and the father of the young master of the Zheng family is the emperor's uncle. He is the Queen's nephew, and there are only a few people in the entire Zhou Dynasty that he cannot afford to offend.
Therefore, the young master of the Zheng family didn’t think so much at all.
However, it was this push that caused a huge disaster.
Those who "escorted" Ye Shuo to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were all close confidants of Emperor Jingwen. Seeing that someone dared to attack the Ninth Prince, the guards rushed over and subconsciously protected the Ninth Prince in the middle without thinking.
With a "clang", several guards drew their swords from their waists.
Anyone who dares to attack the prince is guilty of the heinous crime of killing all nine generations of his clan!
Several guards looked across, as if they were looking at a dead person.
The whole process, from the guards rushing over to drawing their swords against him, took only a few breaths. After Young Master Zheng reacted, he was dumbfounded on the spot.
Wha-what’s happening?
When the people around saw this scene, they immediately dispersed, fearing that if they ran away too late they would end up covered in blood.
This sword is shining with a cold light, and it is obvious that it is not just for show. If you are unlucky enough to be affected by it, it will be a waste of time.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the rouge vendor packed up his stall and disappeared.
This is the case for ordinary people who are outsiders, let alone the parties involved.
His nose was pointed at by several sabers. He had brought a few servants with him today, but they were of little use. He was afraid that the other party would not know his identity and would kill him on impulse. In a panic, the young master of the Zheng family said, "Do you know who I am? How dare you attack me? My father is the uncle of the emperor, and my aunt is the queen. If you dare to touch me, you will be in trouble!"
Sometimes, the difference between a great teammate and a bad teammate is just a matter of thought.
If the plan just now succeeds, we will be great teammates. If it fails, we will quickly become bad teammates.
Ye Shuo secretly laughed. Based on the other party's words, there was no need for him to exaggerate and complain to his cheap father. With so many spies around, his cheap father would know it soon.
The guards were stunned when they heard this. If this was the case, then wouldn’t it be that a flood had flushed the Dragon King Temple?
The guards couldn't help but look at the Ninth Prince in the middle.
Then the guards heard the Ninth Prince muttering to himself, looking very shocked: "This shouldn't be the case. I clearly helped him, why doesn't he appreciate it?"
Several guards looked at each other and vaguely understood that something must have happened just now.
Wei Zhao on the side looked at this one, then at that one, and couldn't hold back his laughter: "Hahahahahahaha, you just scolded me, but now you are fine, aren't you also doing something bad with good intentions? See if others will pay attention to you, hahahahaha."
Wei Zhao finally met someone who was even less capable than himself, and he felt much more relieved.
Caught off guard, Ye Shuo, who was acting hard with the guards, said: "..."
It was almost, almost, that Ye Shuo couldn’t continue acting.
Forget it, I won’t bother with such a fool.
Just as the same thought flashed through the minds of the two men at the same time, Wei Ping, panting, finally caught his brother on the street.
"Brother, it's almost noon, don't just stand there, come back with me quickly."
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhao couldn't help but frown: "Why are you in such a hurry? I just got out." Normally, no one would care even if he didn't return home at night. Why did Wei Ping bring people to find him today?
Wei Zhao only found out on the way that in the morning, an imperial decree had suddenly been sent from the palace saying that the Ninth Prince would come to stay for a while.
"Ninth Prince?" Wei Zhao couldn't help but exclaimed.
If he remembered correctly, the child born by the imperial concubine's aunt would be the ninth among the princes, right?
Wei Zhao is seventeen years old this year. He was only five or six years old when the imperial concubine entered the palace, so he can barely remember things.
Wei Zhao still remembered that his aunt was a very beautiful woman, with a beauty like a fairy from heaven, and she used to play with him and his brothers when they were young.
Wei Zhao subconsciously asked, "What does the little cousin look like?" The little aunt is so pretty, so the cousin must be pretty too.
"How should I know? I haven't seen him yet." Wei Ping was not in a hurry. Anyway, the order had come down and they would meet sooner or later.
"As for you, did you get into a conflict with someone again? I think the person standing over there looks familiar. Don't blame me for not reminding you. If I knew, I would definitely scold you again."
Thinking of his elder brother's face that was as cold as an iceberg, Wei Zhao shuddered subconsciously.
Wei Zhao was not afraid of anyone at home, not even his uncles or grandfather. If he annoyed them, he would at most be beaten. But if he made his eldest brother angry, it would not be just a beating.
"How can that be possible!" Wei Zhao quickly explained.
"It was not me who started the trouble today. It was that Zheng who was being servile. He took things from others without paying. How could I tolerate this?"
But at the same time, he also discovered that the vendors didn't seem to want him to stand up for them.
When talking about this, Wei Zhao was absent-minded for a moment.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." The depressed mood flashed by, and Wei Zhao subconsciously wanted to talk about something happy with his brother.
"You don't know, this little brat wanted to teach me a lesson at first, saying that I was helping without knowing anything. But guess what, in the end he helped that guy surnamed Zheng, but that guy surnamed Zheng ignored him and almost pushed him to the ground. Hahahaha, I was dying of laughter."
Following behind the two of them, Ye Shuo couldn't help but twitch his mouth when his name was called.
Wei Ping also didn't think too much about it and couldn't help laughing: "According to what you said, this child is too stupid and naive."
There are actually people who believe that guy named Zheng. It’s obvious that guy named Zheng is not a good person!
"Who said it wasn't? Besides, he also believed that the thin ones were the ones who were bullied, and the strong ones were the ones who bullied others. Don't you think that's right, kid?"
What else can Ye Shuo say at this moment?
“…Yeah, that’s right.”
Wei Ping couldn't help laughing.
Ye Shuo felt numb all over.
"I'm telling you, if you meet someone like Zheng in the future, don't be so foolish as to help him. People like him are full of bad intentions. Even if you help him, he won't appreciate your kindness."
Wei Zhao saw that he was young, not even older than his youngest brother, so he couldn't help but give him some advice.
But it didn't take long for Wei Zhao and Wei Ping to realize something was wrong.
If the reason he followed them in the beginning could be said to be that the kid was shocked and his soul was wandering subconsciously, then now that they have arrived at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, why does he have no intention of leaving?
"What are you doing following us around, kid?"
How come they haven't reacted yet? ?
Ye Shuo had completely given up any hope on these two cousins.
But it doesn't matter. There are eighteen cousins, and even if two are subtracted, there are still sixteen. If things don't work out, there are still six uncles. According to probability, there must be a few reliable ones among them.
Just when Wei Zhao and Wei Ping were stunned, Xiao Luzi, who was sent to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in advance, almost cried when he saw his master.
"Your Highness, you are finally here!"
"You made me wait so long!"
Xiao Luzi hesitated whether he should practice some Kung Fu in addition to studying, otherwise it would be unacceptable to be thrown down by the Ninth Prince every time!
Wei Zhao and Wei Ping were stunned.
Your Highness?
As Xiao Luzi rushed down the stairs, the maids, servants and even the housekeeper of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion all knelt on the ground.
"We, the young men, pay our respects to His Majesty the Ninth Prince."
Seeing that his two cousins were still in a daze, Ye Shuo sighed, shook his head, and walked straight past them without saying anything.
In other words, this silly kid is their cousin?
The son of His Majesty and my aunt, the ninth prince of the current dynasty?
After realizing what was happening, Wei Zhao and Wei Ping were dumbfounded.
It took about a cup of tea to walk into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion. Before Ye Shuo had time to take a look at the surrounding layout, he was stunned by his cousins and uncles who lined up to greet him.
They were all muscular, dark-faced, strong men with broad backs and muscular build. The only difference between them was their age.
Although it is wrong to judge people by their appearance, and a strong body does not mean being brave but not wise, the silly smiles on these people's faces are almost identical to those of his two cousins just now, making it hard for Ye Shuo to believe that the person he is looking for is among them.
It’s over…
Ye Shuo’s eyes went dark.
Just when Ye Shuo's heart, liver and lungs were trembling violently, Wei Wen finally walked out of the crowd.
People who have not seen it with their own eyes will never know how great an impact it had on Ye Shuo when a fair-skinned, tired-looking, bookish young man walked out from a group of black-faced men.
The moment they saw the young man walk out, the cousins who were originally in a state of excitement suddenly became silent. Even Wei Zhao and Wei Ping, who had rushed into the door, subconsciously stopped and then quickly lowered their heads.
The six uncles standing in the front almost instinctively shut their mouths. Ye Shuo immediately understood who he should place his hopes on.
Meeting the young man's warm, calm and slightly numb eyes, Ye Shuo's heart was instantly rekindled with new hope.
At the same time, inside the palace, Emperor Jingwen soon received the news that his son was nearly knocked down while helping someone on the street in Shangjing City.
