Chapter 227 Preparations for the treasurer of the family

Zhao Chen didn't expect that after just a moment of contemplation, Empress Changsun saw through her thoughts.

A look of embarrassment appeared slightly below.

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

"Your Majesty said you are going to sell newly planted peppers here today, so let me come and have a look."

"He said that these days, there may be no time to see you, so let you be careful when you are outside!" Queen Changsun and Zhao Chen said slowly.

This is what the emperor said, but Empress Changsun knew that the emperor must not say these words casually.

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

Zhao Chen's situation is not so safe.

"I understand." Zhao Chen nodded.

But I already understood in my heart that Queen Changsun came here today, which was indeed what Lao Li said.

Now he was relieved.

Emperor Changsun later expressed his attitude.

The emperor will stand with him.

"Zhao Chen, look at those guys who came to the tavern yesterday!" Li Ruoshuang suddenly pointed to the old men in front and said to Zhao Chen.

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

He was looking at himself with a stern look.

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

Behind the shopkeepers, there was a minor official in Chang'an City. Behind the minor official, there were more than a dozen yamen runners patrolling the streets.

These people stared at the bustling crowd ahead with a gloomy face.

"Zhao Chen, they are going to do it!" Qin Huaiyu hurriedly said when the minor official, under the instruction of several shopkeepers, led the yamen runners patrolling the streets to the crowd.

"I'll stop them!" Li Ruoshuang said, drawing out the long sword he specially wore today.

"Why don't you stop her? She is just a girl's house after all. It's not appropriate to rush in like this." Empress Changsun couldn't help but feel curious when she saw that Zhao Chen did not stop Li Ruoshuang.

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

but……

"It's okay, I can't make a fuss." Zhao Chen waved his hand with Cheng Chumo beside him and signaled him to bring in two stools.

...

"Does go!"

"Everything can be done!"

"What do you want to do so many people gather here?"

The minor official led a dozen yamen runners to push the people of Chang'an City who were buying fresh and dried peppers.

More than a dozen people were showing off their might, and the air whip in their hands blew, making them very majestic.

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

In a panic, many people even fell to the ground.

Looking at the people of Chang'an City rolling on the ground, the minor officials did not feel anything was wrong.

"Who asked you to sell these things here?" the little official walked to a strong man and said coldly.

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

"This is a document that is allowed to be sold in the official uniform." The strong man just frowned slightly, and took out the document that is allowed to be operated in the official uniform from his arms.

"What document? When did the prefect approve such a document?" The clerk said coldly and knocked off the document in the hands of the strong man.

The document fell into the stinky ditch next to it and was stained instantly.

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

They all saw that today's minor official was obviously coming to trouble these salespeople.

"Isn't that guy a servant of the Boling Cui family? He relied on the relationship between the Boling Cui family and entered Chang'an Mansion and became a small leader. It's really abominable to bully us like this today." Some people in Chang'an City recognized the little one.

The official said to others hatefully.

"You also said that behind him is the Boling Cui family, who is the leader of a noble family except the royal family. Who dares to offend him?"

"As the saying goes, even if we are a custodian, we cannot offend us."

"Oh, who doesn't know that the Boling Cui family is not something we can offend? It's just that I feel uncomfortable seeing them so arrogant."

"It is probably the owner of the Boling Cui family. He likes the peppers bought by these people and wants to take them for himself."

There were whispers in the crowd.

Everyone looked at the arrogant and domineering officials in front of them, and they hated them so much that they felt itchy.

But no one dared to stand up.

Even the people who fell and had their noses and faces swollen just now did not dare to go up and argue with them.

As long as the people of the Tang Dynasty had the opportunity to survive, most people would not choose to do these deadly things.

"Did you see it? Fortunately, I asked someone for help before." The old shopkeeper of the Cui family in Boling showed a look of pride.

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

"Old Cui is indeed foresighted. If it weren't for Mr Cui who asked someone to help in advance, I would definitely have no choice but to use Zhao Chen."

"The yamen runners in Chang'an Prefecture maintain order in the West City, and no one has found any problems."

"Isn't Zhao Chen so powerful? Now I want to see how he will stop these yamen runners."

After a few people around him flattered him, they all showed a look of pride.

The eyes that looked at Zhao Chen were full of jokes.

They all knew that if Zhao Chen was ungrateful, he would bully these yamen runners as a county marquis.

Then once it is spread, even the emperor will not be able to save him.

Even a few of them hoped that Zhao Chen would stand up and force the yamen runners to leave as a county marquis.

...

"Zhao Chen, this has already started to make a fuss. What are you going to do?"

"Don't force them to leave as you, otherwise they will have an excuse to attack you."

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

Zhao Chen said just now that this matter cannot be caused.

But now...

"Auntie, did you see the document just now?" Zhao Chen said with a smile.

"I saw it and was slapped by the slap of the little official on the ground. It was just a document. With the energy of those aristocratic families, it was useless." Empress Changsun shook her head and said.

She knew very well how much energy the aristocratic family was.

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

The Tang Dynasty has been eighteen years, but the aristocratic families have always existed tenaciously, and some things are not that easy.

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

"Zhao Chen, why not let's go up. Today's game cannot be over, otherwise we will lose all our faces." Cheng Chumo and Zhao Chen said.

In front of him, Li Ruoshuang had already blocked the yamen runners who wanted to come up to lift the stall.

The opposite side also drew a sword and pointed it at Li Ruoshuang.

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

"No need, go and call Ruoshuang back. In addition, let the minor official pick up the document and kneel aside to wait." Zhao Chen smiled and said to Cheng Chumo.
