The God-Level Prodigal Son of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 227: The shopkeeper’s preparations

Zhao Chen also didn't expect that Queen Changsun would see through his thoughts after he pondered for a moment.

There was a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Why are my aunt here today? Zhao Chen said to Queen Changsun with a smile.

His Majesty said that you are going to sell the newly planted peppers here today. Let me come and take a look.

He said that these days, he may not have time to visit you, so you should be careful when you are outside! Queen Changsun and Zhao Chen said slowly.

These were the emperor's original words, but Empress Changsun knew that the emperor must not have said these words casually.

The sale of this chili pepper will definitely be hated by the family.

Zhao Chen's situation is not that safe.

I understand. Zhao Chen nodded.

But he already understood in his heart that Lao Li Tou's intention of Queen Changsun coming here today was indeed what he meant.

Now he is relieved.

Queen Changsun came here to express her attitude.

The emperor will stand with himself.

Zhao Chen, look at those guys, aren't they the guys who came to the tavern yesterday! Li Ruoshuang suddenly pointed at the old men in front and said to Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen looked over and saw several shopkeepers from aristocratic families standing across the street.

He was looking at himself with stern eyes.

They seem to have brought someone here. Cheng Chumo frowned and said to Zhao Chen.

Behind the shopkeepers stood a small official from Chang'an City. Behind the small official, there were more than a dozen government officials patrolling the streets.

These people stared closely at the bustling crowd in front, with gloomy expressions.

Zhao Chen, they are about to take action! Qin Huaiyu said hurriedly when he saw that the little official led the patrol officers to the crowd under the instructions of several shopkeepers.

I'll stop them! Li Ruoshuang said and pulled out the long sword he wore specially today.

Why didn't you stop her? She was just a girl after all. She rushed in like this.

It's always inappropriate. When Queen Changsun saw that Zhao Chen had no intention of stopping Li Ruoshuang, she couldn't help but be curious.

Based on her understanding of Zhao Chen, she would never let Li Ruoshuang do such a thing.

but……

It's okay, we can't make a fuss. Zhao Chen waved to Cheng Chumo beside him, gesturing for him to bring two stools.

Get out of the way!

Get out of my way!

So many people gathered here, what do you want to do?

The petty officials and more than a dozen government servants pushed around a group of people in Chang'an City who were buying fresh and dried chili peppers.

More than a dozen people were showing off their skills, and the whips in their hands crackled the air, making them look very majestic.

When the people of Chang'an City heard the shouting and the whistling of whips behind them, they hurriedly walked aside.

In panic, many people even fell to the ground.

Looking at the people of Chang'an City rolling on the ground, the clerk didn't feel anything was wrong.

Who asked you to sell these things here? The clerk walked up to a strong man and said coldly.

He grabbed a green chili pepper in his hand, crushed it easily, and threw it on the strong man's clothes.

This is the document that the official uniform allows to sell. The strong man just frowned slightly, and took out the official document from his arms that allowed the business to be sold.

What document? When did Mr. Fu Yin approve such a document? The clerk said coldly and knocked the document out of the strong man's hand.

The document fell into the smelly ditch nearby and was instantly stained.

When the people of Chang'an City on the side saw the scene in front of them, a look of panic flashed across their faces.

They all saw that today this little

Officials, they obviously came here to cause trouble for these sellers.

Isn't that guy a servant of the Bolingcui family? Relying on the Bolingcui family's relationship, he entered the Chang'an Mansion and became a small boss. It's really abominable to bully us like this today. Some people in Chang'an City recognized the young man. Officer, said to others bitterly.

You also said that behind him is the Bolingcui family. That is the head of a family other than the royal family. Who dares to offend him?

As the saying goes, the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, even if he is a gatekeeper, is not someone we can offend.

Hey, who doesn't know that the Bolingcui family is not something we can offend? It's just that it makes me feel uncomfortable seeing them so arrogant.

It's probably the head of the Bolingcui family who took a fancy to the chili peppers bought by these people and wanted to keep it for themselves.

There were murmurs of murmurs among the crowd.

Everyone looked at the arrogant and domineering clerk in front of him, and their teeth itched with hatred.

But no one dared to stand up.

Even the common people who had suffered bruises and swollen faces due to the eviction of the petty officials just now did not dare to go up and argue with them.

For the people of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they had a chance to survive, most of them would not choose to do these fatal things.

Did you see that? Fortunately, I found someone to help me before. The old shopkeeper of the Bolingcui family showed a proud look on his face.

He stroked his long gray beard, glanced at Zhao Chen in front of him, and sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, Mr. Cui has foresight. If Mr. Cui hadn't found someone to help him in advance, we would have been unable to do anything about Zhao Chen.

The government officials of Chang'an Prefecture maintain order in the West City, and no one can find any problems.

Isn't Zhao Chen awesome? Now I want to see how he can stop these government officials.

After a while of flattery, several people around him looked proud.

The look he looked at Zhao Chen was full of teasing.

They all knew that if Zhao Chen was ungrateful and bullied these government officials as a county prince.

Then once word spreads, even the emperor will have no way to protect him.

Some of them even hoped that Zhao Chen would stand up and force these government servants to leave as a county prince.

Zhao Chen, this is already causing trouble. What are you going to do?

You must not force them to leave because of your identity, otherwise they will have an excuse to criticize you.

Queen Changsun sat on a stool and said to Zhao Chen beside her.

Zhao Chen just said that this matter cannot be caused.

but now……

Auntie, can you see that document just now? Zhao Chen said with a smile.

I saw it. It was slapped to the ground by the little official. It was just a piece of paper. With the energy of those aristocratic families, it was of no use. Queen Changsun shook her head.

She knew how powerful the family was.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have such a headache because of the family affairs.

It has been eighteen years since the Tang Dynasty, but the aristocratic family has always existed tenaciously. Some things are not so easy.

What is the use of a document from the governor of Chang'an?

Zhao Chen, why don't we go up? Today's game can't end like this, otherwise we will all be embarrassed. Cheng Chumo said to Zhao Chen.

Li Ruoshuang in front had already blocked the government servants who wanted to lift the stall with their swords.

The person on the other side also drew his sword and pointed it at Li Ruoshuang.

Qin Huaiyu also looked at Zhao Chen, waiting for his agreement.

No need, go call Ruoshuang back. Also, ask the clerk to pick up the document and kneel aside to wait. Zhao Chen smiled and said to Cheng Chumo.

Ah? Cheng Chumo didn't react for a moment.
