Chapter 230: Please show your respect to the Lord of the County

"What on earth is Zhao Chen going to do? Why did he agree to let these bastards go?" Cheng Chumo frowned and said to Qin Huaiyu.

In Cheng Chumo's view, Zhao Chen could take advantage of this opportunity to bring these shopkeepers before the emperor.

Leave it to the emperor, so that the emperor can clean up the family behind them.

But Zhao Chen actually promised to let them go.

You must know that they are the culprits targeting Wangyou Bookstore. .??.??

If Zhao Chen hadn't figured out a way, Wangyou Bookstore would have gone out of business.

"How do I know? Anyway, Zhao Chen has his own considerations. Let's just watch." Qin Huaiyu shook his head, full of curiosity in his heart.

The people in the field watched helplessly as the arrogant young official was let go by Zhao Chen.

Everyone is in disbelief.

After all, that little official just now almost killed someone here.

"Ruoshuang, how do you think Zhao Chen will deal with them?" Queen Changsun and Li Ruoshuang asked.

Seeing the minor officials being let go, she also believed that Zhao Chen would not let these shopkeepers off easily.

"I don't know either." Li Ruoshuang shook his head.

Empress Changsun smiled slightly and seemed to have thought of something in her mind, but she did not mention it to Li Ruoshuang.

The two looked forward again.

"Shopkeeper Cui, you are the person in charge of our family. What should we do now?" Qinghe Cui's shopkeeper asked Boling Cui's shopkeeper.

If they don't admit it now, they will definitely be captured by Zhao Chen on the spot and sent to the emperor, where they will be dead.

But if he admits it, then who knows how Zhao Chen will deal with them?

No one is a fool. They really believe that Zhao Chen will let him go easily!

"Zhao Chen is very thoughtful. He must also know that if we are captured, the emperor will kill us at most, and the master will be reprimanded at most."

"So he wanted to humiliate us and let the little official go, which was just to make us relax our vigilance.

That’s all. "

"You won't die if you admit it, but you will be severely humiliated. How do you choose?" Shopkeeper Cui said in a deep voice.

His cold eyes glanced at Zhao Chen.

"If you die, your death will be in vain. There is nothing we can do with Zhao Chen."

"But if we admit it, Zhao Chen won't necessarily humiliate us!"

"If you are humiliated, you will be humiliated. In a few days, it will be the day when Wangyou Bookstore will open. By then, today's shame can be recovered there."

"That's right. If that's the case, just admit it!"

Several shopkeepers discussed it for a long time and finally agreed and admitted that they were responsible for the matter.

They always believe that when Wangyou Bookstore opens in a few days, it will be their time to take revenge.

"Your Majesty the County Marquis, we are indeed behind the scenes in this matter. We apologize to the Lord the County Marquis." Shopkeeper Boling Cui said with Zhao Chen cupping their hands.

Although he spoke humbly, everyone could clearly hear the deep resentment in his tone.

"The shopkeepers of the aristocratic family actually admitted their mistake to the county magistrate?"

"That's the shopkeeper of a noble family. Ordinary fifth-rank officials would not dare to offend them."

"The County Marquis actually asked them to apologize!"

"Although Lord County Marquis has a title, he has no official status after all. Logically speaking, he cannot scare them."

"They are all members of aristocratic families. They probably don't want to involve their master's family."

Several shopkeepers bowed and apologized to Zhao Chen, and the people watching suddenly felt a little weird.

In their impression, in addition to the royal family, several aristocratic families were the kings of the Tang Dynasty.

Even the pigs raised by aristocratic families are superior to ordinary people.

want them to apologize

, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is extremely difficult.

Some people also guessed the thoughts of some shopkeepers, thinking that they just didn't want to implicate their respective owners.

Zhao Chen stood there, listening to the admissions of several shopkeepers, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

"Since several of you admitted that this matter was your fault, according to the previous agreement, I will not embarrass you..."

Hearing this, several shopkeepers felt relieved. ??

They were also worried that Zhao Chen would break his promise and come to embarrass themselves and others!

"Kneel aside. When all these peppers are sold today, you can leave."

Before they could be happy for a moment, they saw Zhao Chen waving his hand and saying.

"What?"

"You dare to make us kneel down?"

"Fuck your mother!"

A burst of angry curses spewed out from the mouths of several shopkeepers.

Empress Changsun, who was sitting in the back, suddenly looked angry and stared at the scolding shopkeeper of Cui family in Qinghe.

"Ruoshuang, knock out all that guy's teeth!" Empress Changsun said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Li Ruoshuang was just stunned for a moment, although she didn't understand why Empress Changsun was so targeting the scolding shopkeeper.

However, she only thought that Queen Changsun had a good relationship with Zhao Chen's deceased mother, and she couldn't bear to hear others say this.

Li Ruoshuang walked up and broke off a piece of wood from the severed stall.

He walked up to the shopkeeper of Cui family in Qinghe, picked up the wooden board and hit him in the face.

Screaming in agony, the shopkeeper of Cui family in Qinghe was already quite old and had lost several teeth.

This time, Li Ruoshuang slapped him with a round hand, not a single tooth left.

His mouth was full of blood, and both sides of his face were swollen.

It looks like it will be as miserable as possible.

But fortunately, the person is still awake.

Everyone present was so frightened that Li Ruoshuang made such a fuss that they backed away.

Zhao Chen also looked at Li Ruoshuang suspiciously.

"My wife heard this man scolding me and asked me to come over and beat him." Li Ruoshuang and Zhao Chen explained in a low voice.

Zhao Chen nodded, looked back at Empress Changsun, and saw her nodding towards him with a smile.

I didn’t think much about it.

I just thought she was on good terms with her mother and couldn't bear to hear such words.

"How many of you, do you want to kneel or not?" Zhao Chen looked at the shopkeepers and said lightly.

"Zhao Chen, do you really want to make things so ugly?" the old shopkeeper of the Bolingcui family looked at Zhao Chen and said in a deep voice.

"Zhao Chen, please let us leave. We will not hold you accountable for today's matter. There is also a bookstore. We can also let you go." Fan Yang Lu's shopkeeper said from the side.

In order to leave safely today, Zhao Chen would not force him to kneel here.

It can be said that these people have tried their best.

But it's obvious that Zhao Chen doesn't care about their so-called methods now.

"I will say it one last time, you'd better kneel aside for me, otherwise..." Zhao Chen said slowly.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu had already surrounded several shopkeepers.

As soon as Zhao Chen gave the order, he would press several people to the ground.

"I didn't expect that these shopkeepers from aristocratic families who usually show off their power would encounter some serious problems today."

"Hehe, the County Marquis is the only one who dares to deal with aristocratic families since the founding of the Tang Dynasty."

"Just for the magistrate's courage, I admire him very much."

"I just don't know if the shopkeepers of these aristocratic families will..."

"The Marquis of Zhao County, I'm Luotong, would like to ask the Lord of the County to be kind and let them go."

A group of people were discussing, when suddenly a young man squeezed out of the crowd and said to Zhao Chen, cupping hands.
