Chapter 231: Kneel down properly

This person is the customer surnamed Luo who just came here to buy dried chili peppers.

But for some unknown reason, he returned to this place again.

"Luo Tong, when did you return to Chang'an? Why didn't you tell us?" Cheng Chumo was really surprised and happy when he saw Luo Tong's appearance.

"Luo Tong, you are an unreasonable boy. You just left quietly at the beginning, and you didn't tell us first when you came back today." Qin Huaiyu also looked happy.

Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu, and Luo Tong have an iron-clad friendship.

The three people's parents were good friends. Later, Luo Tong's father Luo Cheng died in the war, leaving behind an orphan and a widowed mother.

The two families also took care of each other a lot, and the three children grew up together.

The friendship is naturally profound.

But half a year ago, Luo Tong suddenly left without saying goodbye. .??.

It suddenly appeared again today, which is really surprising.

"Zhao Chen, this is Luo Tong. Xiao Qin and I, as well as him, grew up together when we were young!" Cheng Chumo introduced to Zhao Chen.

"Luo Tong, this is our brother, Zhao Chen." Qin Huaiyu also introduced Zhao Chen to Luo Tong.

Luo Tong's expression changed slightly when he heard Qin Huaiyu say that Zhao Chen was their brother.

This was the first time he said this sentence from Qin Huaiyu's mouth.

Even though they grew up together, Qin Huaiyu never talked to him.

"Lord County Marquis, can you spare them this time?" Luo Tong and Zhao Chen said, holding hands.

Zhao Chen looked at Luo Tong and did not answer in a hurry.

Luo Tong was supposed to be a character in the storybook, and there was no such person in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

But why is there a Luo Tong standing in front of him?

Zhao Chen felt a little confused for a moment.

"Luo Tong, isn't that the son of the late Yue Duke Luo Cheng? I heard that he went to Zhao County to marry a girl from Zhao County's Li family. Why are you back today?"

"The Li family of Zhaojun? Doesn't that mean that Luo Tong is also from the aristocratic family?"

"I don't know. The Li family of Zhao County has the same roots as the royal family. They usually side with the royal family. They should not embarrass the marquis of Zhao County.

yes. "

"Why would Luo Tong intercede for people from other aristocratic families?"

There was endless discussion among the people.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were both stunned.

Neither of them could have imagined that Luo Tong came here to intercede on behalf of the shopkeepers of these aristocratic families.

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say.

"Impossible!" Zhao Chen refused without hesitation.

No matter who pleads for mercy today, he will not let these shopkeepers off easily.

Moreover, he himself did not know Luo Tong.

At most, we just met for the first time now.

Zhao Chen refused without hesitation, which made Luo Tong's expression froze.

He looked at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, but found that they shook their heads at him.

Luo Tong frowned.

"Marquis Zhao, I need help from a few of them here, please..."

"Shopkeepers, you are still not kneeling aside, but you want me to help you?" Zhao Chen ignored Luo Tong's words and said to the shopkeepers behind him.

Several shopkeepers were still feeling happy just now.

He thought that Luo Tong would be able to save him when he came.

Who knew that Zhao Chen would not give Luo Tong any face.

You must know that Luo Tong inherited the title of the Duke of Yue from his father Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng is now also a Duke.

How dare a small county prince not show respect to the Duke of the country?

"Zhao Chen, you!" Luo Tong clenched his fists, with a trace of annoyance flashing in his eyes.

"Luo Tong, you'd better be more honest with me. If you clench your fist in front of Zhao Chen again, I'll beat you until you can't get up. Believe it or not?" Li Ruoshuang stood beside Zhao Chen and looked at Luo Tong with a frosty face.

Seeing Li Ruoshuang protecting her like this

Looking at Zhao Chen in front of him, Luo Tong's expression froze slightly.

He has never seen Li Ruoshuang protecting a man like this.

"Luo Tong, don't get involved in this matter. You go back first." Cheng Chumo and Luo Tong whispered.

Cheng Chumo was a little worried that Zhao Chen and Luo Tong would become enemies because of this incident.

Then he and Qin Huaiyu won't know what to do by then!

Luo Tong frowned and saw Qin Huaiyu already standing beside Zhao Chen.

The attitude is already very obvious.

"No matter who comes today, they have to kneel here. Luo Tong, you'd better leave now." Zhao Chen said to Luo Tong with a calm face.

In his words, he did not care about the identity of Duke Luo Tong.

The emperor has made up his mind to clean up the aristocratic family. Luo Tong must be making himself uncomfortable if he speaks for the aristocratic family at this moment.

If Luo Tong stays here today, the emperor will definitely know about it.

Will he still be implicated in the future?

Zhao Chen also wanted Luo Tong to be friends with Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, and didn't want him to get stuck here.

Otherwise, someone would have already captured this Luotong.

"Zhao Chen, you!" Luo Tong gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Chen, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Empress Changsun sitting on the stool behind her.

Queen Changsun shook her head at herself.

Luo Tong's expression suddenly changed.

He didn't notice just now that Queen Changsun came here wearing casual clothes.

What does this convey?

"My lord, you must take us away."

"Your Excellency, this Zhao Chen is using his power to overpower others. You are the son-in-law of the Li family in Zhao County, and you are one of our own. We cannot watch us being bullied by this Zhao Chen."

"Your Majesty, save us!"

Seeing Luo Tong's hesitation, several shopkeepers immediately shouted and knelt down in front of Luo Tong.

Luo Tong stood there without any reaction and took a deep look at Zhao Chen. \u003c

Turn around and leave!

"gone?"

"Luo Tong actually left like this?"

"He is the Duke of the country. Logically speaking, he should be able to hold the title of county prince? Why did he leave like this?"

"What exactly happened here?"

When the people saw Luo Tong, they didn't say anything and turned around and left.

I am full of curiosity at the moment.

In their view, a prince could easily overwhelm a county prince.

But the reality is that the Duke left in despair!

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu both exhaled quietly at this moment, secretly rejoicing.

The shopkeepers kneeling on the ground were all stunned at this moment.

How could they have imagined that the dignified Duke Luo Tong would show timidity in front of Zhao Chen, a small county prince.

Just turned around and ran away without saying anything?

"Kneel down and don't get up."

Just as the shopkeepers were about to stand up, they heard Zhao Chen say this.

Several strong men gathered around and pressed them down hard.

"Everyone, there was some misunderstanding just now, which disturbed you. Now that these people have been captured, you can continue to buy peppers." Zhao Chen shouted to the people, then retreated to the back and sat down next to Queen Changsun.

The people slowly gathered around.

Some people still wanted to buy some more green peppers and go back to taste them, while others came here specifically to watch the shopkeepers kneeling on the ground.

After all, these people are also big shots to them.

But even so, these people still have to kneel here!

The people lined up and passed in front of several shopkeepers one by one.

The shopkeepers had never experienced such humiliation before, and their faces were filled with shame.

The leader, the shopkeeper of the Bolingcui family, did not even lift it up and passed out on the side.
