Chapter 391 Street Farce
After sending the blacksmith Master Gong to sea, Wu Weiwei led her people to bury themselves in researching another wound medicine.
There are rumors circulating in the capital recently that not all the envoys sent to the Great Wei by various countries are paying tribute.
For example, the Western Liang Kingdom, due to its strong national power, may have come with the intention of forming an alliance through marriage.
As for Nanzhao, it lost the battle, and it is said that Nanzhao offered several beauties and countless rare treasures to the Great Wei.
The Northern Frontier Kingdom did send a proper envoy on a visit, in order to ease relations between the two countries.
As Wu Weiwei's carriage passed through the market, she heard the rapid sound of horses' hooves outside. "Everyone, make way!"
She lifted the curtain and saw a man dressed in black riding a large horse, galloping recklessly through the streets.
Wherever he went, it was like a violent storm, leaving no place unscathed.
"Who is he?"
Wu Weiwei frowned.
Upon seeing him, Little Stone hurriedly replied, "Master, he is Zhu Dadan, the young master of the Ping Le Marquis family. His mother is the daughter of the late Consort Kang. He is known as the Little Tyrant of the Capital and recently returned to the capital from beyond the Great Wall!"
Consort Kang's nephew?
The emperor held Consort Kang in high esteem, treated the widowed Princess Zhen well, and was especially lenient towards the young marquis.
No wonder this kid is so arrogant.
Wu Weiwei didn't want to cause trouble, so she asked the driver to stop and prepare to give way to him.
However, the truth is that just because she wanted to avoid it didn't mean people wouldn't bump into her.
Perhaps it was because Zhu Dadan saw Wu Weiwei's stunningly beautiful face when she lifted the curtain that he became lustful.
He rode his horse at breakneck speed toward Wu Weiwei.
It looked as if the horse that Zhu Dadan was riding was about to trample the little child in the middle of the road.
Seeing this scene almost made Wu Weiwei's heart stop.
"Chunjiao, hurry..."
In that instant, Chun Jiao swiftly leaped towards the little girl in the crowd, then caught her and narrowly landed to the side.
"Wow, this young lady has amazing skills! If she had been even a fraction of a second later, that little girl would probably be dead..."
"This young master of the Ping Le Marquis's mansion is really audacious, running amok on horseback in broad daylight. Is there no law left?"
"Go away, what do you know? The young marquis is the only son of the Marquis of Ping Le. Even if that little girl dies under his horse's hooves today, the Emperor won't do anything to him..."
Just look at this time when he was punished and sent to the border region, and you'll know.
Six months ago, Zhu Dadan killed the son of a minor official in the street while fighting crickets. The Imperial Guard sent people to arrest the young marquis and put him in jail, but released him the next day.
Ultimately, due to a petition signed by tens of thousands of people, he was only exiled to the border region for six months.
See, it's back perfectly fine now, isn't it?
But this little girl is just an ordinary citizen; how could her status compare to that of a seventh-rank official in the capital?
Even if he dies, it's just a matter of paying some money to settle the matter. The idea of "a life for a life" is impossible!
Listening to the murmurs of the crowd and seeing Zhu Dadan walking towards her as if nothing had happened, Wu Weiwei frowned deeply.
This person doesn't value the lives of ordinary people; his actions are probably even worse than Qin Baiwan's.
“Your maid is truly skilled; I am truly impressed.”
"I am Zhu Dadan, the young master of the Ping Le Marquis's mansion. May I ask the young lady's name?"
Seeing Chun Jiao carry the baby to Wu Weiwei's side, Zhu Dadan stepped forward with a big laugh.
Judging from his appearance, Zhu Dadan does have a handsome face, but his behavior is really not commendable.
Wu Weiwei did not answer him, but instead looked at the little girl who was terrified with a pained expression.
"Little sister, are you okay?"
"Heh, what could possibly happen to her? Even if something does happen, it's her fate!"
Zhu Dadan continues to spout nonsense.
Upon hearing his words, Wu Weiwei gave him a disdainful look.
But he looked completely unconcerned.
"Young lady, people are valued for their fate, but she has a lowly fate, and she cannot be compared to you!"
"You committed this violent act in broad daylight. Does the Great Wei Dynasty have no laws?"
A handsome young nobleman dressed in white stepped out from the crowd.
Noticing Wu Weiwei's gaze, the young nobleman nodded slightly to her.
The young man before me was handsome and elegant, with a refined and graceful demeanor. His every move exuded an air of nobility, suggesting that he was no ordinary person.
Seeing this, Zhu Dadan was unhappy.
He dismounted and approached the young nobleman, arrogantly asking, "And who are you?"
How dare you interfere with what I, Zhu Dadan, do? Besides, the person is still standing there perfectly fine; what business is it of yours?"
Zhu Dadan did not become more restrained after being criticized; on the contrary, he became even more arrogant.
"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you are a citizen of the Great Wei. Instead of thinking about protecting your people, you use your status to oppress them. Do you have any respect for the land you stand on?"
"Hahaha, what a joke."
In all my years, I, Zhu Dadan, have never had anyone dare to teach me to respect these lower classes in front of my face…
Judging from the man's appearance, Zhu Dadan knew that he was not a person from the Great Wei.
"Men, drag him away and beat him to death as long as he's not dead!"
Upon hearing the order, the thugs nearby swarmed forward and surrounded the young master.
Seeing this, Wu Weiwei glanced at Chun Jiao out of the corner of her eye.
However, just as Chun Jiao was about to make a move, a girl dressed in brightly colored clothes walked in.
"You dare!"
Seeing the beautiful, fiery girl with watery eyes in front of him, Zhu Dadan's eyes immediately lit up with interest.
Haha, he's only been gone for half a year, and I didn't expect so many beauties to appear in the capital.
"Little beauty, whose daughter are you? Quickly tell me your name, and I will surely come to your door with gifts to take you in another day!"
"I bother!"
The little chili spat at him and said disdainfully, "You'd better be worthy to know my name!"
"Wow, she's a princess? Then..."
"By the way, wasn't it said that envoys from various countries were about to arrive in the capital? Could they be envoys coming to pay homage?"
The common people were filled with curiosity as they looked at the distinguished young nobleman.
Seeing the gazes of the crowd, the young nobleman looked helplessly at his younger sister.
"Yazhen, mind your manners!"
Looking at the people accompanying the girl who called herself a princess, Wu Weiwei immediately realized that she was probably an envoy from the Western Liang Kingdom to the Great Wei.
The one who just stood up for him was probably the crown prince of the Western Liang Kingdom.
Zhu Dadan naturally heard the exclamations of surprise from the crowd.
However, he was not afraid because the girl in front of him was an envoy who had come to the capital to pay homage.
They are merely envoys from their Great Wei; what is there to fear?
In his mind, the Great Wei was the most powerful of the four kingdoms, so what was the Western Liang?
During the reign of their maternal grandfather emperor, they were merely a vassal state that paid tribute to the Great Wei every year.
Seeing the disdain in his eyes, Shao Zhan chuckled.
The decline of the Great Wei Dynasty is indeed related to the current emperor's rule. Just look at this young marquis in front of you, and you can see how corrupt the court system is!
"why are you laughing?"
Zhu Dadan drew his sword from his waist and pointed it directly at Shao Zhan.
