The shopkeepers of the four families just had a meal at the restaurant in Pingkangfang, and then came to Zhao Chen's tavern.
Zhao Chen didn't beg them for mercy for a day today. Although the few people were a little surprised, they were not panicked at all.
In their opinion, no matter how Zhao Chen jumped around, he could not escape their palms.
With the prestige of the four families behind them, even the emperor dared not deal with them easily.
What's more, just Zhao Chen?
Naturally, they all felt that they had already been invincible.
"Yo, the county marquis has just come back!" The shopkeeper of Cui's family in Qinghe said to Zhao Chen with a smile.
As for Li Shimin beside him, the few of them just glanced at him and automatically ignored him.
Li Shimin is dressed in a commoner at this moment, and his clothes are just ordinary materials.
Although we met yesterday, no one took him to heart.
Several people even thought that Li Shimin was a clerk in Zhao Chen’s tavern.
Of course no one will pay too much attention to him.
"It's true that I just came back. Why? Are you here to apologize and beg for mercy?" Zhao Chen nodded and asked back with a joke on his face.
Zhao Chen's words made the four of them look silent.
Then I saw anger flashing across several people's faces.
"Apology? Begging for mercy? Lord Hou of the county is still so stubborn. I just don't know that when the bookstore opens, it will not be like this. It's so stubborn!" The shopkeeper of Wang's family in Taiyuan sneered.
"Zhao Chen, as long as you hand over the sale and cultivation of the peppers to us, we can still be friends!"
"Zhao Chen, think clearly. The four prominent clans stand behind us. Whoever we want can't survive in Chang'an City will have to get out of here."
"So, Zhao Chen!"
"I would like to advise you to be more aware of your knowledge and you can still be your county marquis with peace of mind, otherwise..."
A few shopkeepers threatened Zhao Chen.
Li Ruoshuang behind her was even bitten by silver teeth.
If she hadn't remembered what Zhao Chen said to her this morning, she would have pressed the old men in front of her to the ground and rubbed them.
"Bang--"
Li Ruoshuang pinched the corner of the table with one hand and pinched off a piece of wood.
The shopkeepers sitting beside him were shocked when they saw the scene in front of him.
But this doesn't make them retreat.
"Li Ruoshuang, I advise you not to participate in this matter, otherwise the blame will make you even if you are the Duke of the State! "The shopkeeper of the Boling Cui family said coldly.
"What did you say!" Li Ruoshuang's face was cold.
"Zhao Chen, today is our last time. If you give in, we will not pursue it. Otherwise, even if you are a county marquis, then..."
"If someone remembers correctly, the county marquis was enthroned by the saints today. Why do you dare to attack the county marquis?"
"Don't you take the saints today seriously?" Li Shimin suddenly interrupted the words of the shopkeeper Cui from Qinghe, looked at the few people with a slightly cold look, and said slowly.
Zhao Chen showed a joke on his face and smiled: "Old Li, the five surnames and seven hopes are a great family. They all said that without their support, the throne of the saints today would not be stable."
"Half of the Tang Dynasty belongs to them, and the other half belongs to the emperor."
"Even the emperor does not dare to attack them. After all, many times, the emperor has to ask them for help."
"How many people, what I said is correct?"
Zhao Chen's eyes swept over Li Shimin's face and finally fell on several shopkeepers of aristocratic families.
After hearing what Zhao Chen said, Li Shimin's expression did not change, but his heart was extremely angry.
He now wants to see how the shopkeepers of these aristocratic families should take Zhao Chen's words.
"Since Lord Hou knows this, he should know that he should not offend our families."
"I think when the emperor conquered the world, if it weren't for the support of our aristocratic families, he could have swept the world?"
"If the Xuanwu Gate Incident is not supported by us, can he still sit on the throne safely if he kills the prince and the King of Qi?"
"The first month after the emperor took up the throne, the Turks went south and headed towards Chang'an City. There were no such families as us..."
"Bang!"
Before the shopkeepers could finish their words, Li Shimin slapped him hard on the table.
He looked sharp and murderous intent.
His eyes swept over the shopkeepers in front of him, Li Shimin closed his eyes and opened them again, and the sharpness he had just disappeared.
"I'll leave first!" Li Shimin and Zhao Chen said, turning around and disappearing into the darkness.
"What!" Fan Yang's Lu family's shopkeeper showed disgust and spat at Li Shimin.
"Don't worry about him, Zhao Chen, I will say it again last time. Leave the peppers to us, otherwise..." The old shopkeeper of the Cui family in Boling said coldly, his eyes showing a cold look.
The other people also looked at Zhao Chen with bad looks.
"What else?" Zhao Chen was in a good mood at this time. He used the words of the shopkeepers in front of him to make Li Shimin angry.
It was also considered a revenge on his actions of leaving his own script this morning.
Li Shimin completely remembered these shopkeepers, and even the aristocratic families behind them...
"You might as well tell you that I will sell chili peppers in East and West Market tomorrow."
"At that time, please give me some advice." Zhao Chen smiled, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a sip.
This is already seeing off guests!
"Interesting!" The shopkeeper of the Boling Cui family sneered, turned around and walked outside. When he reached the door of the tavern, he suddenly stopped again and said, "Zhao Chen, be careful."
After saying that, the old shopkeeper of the Boling Cui family turned around and went out, and the rest of them glanced at Zhao Chen coldly and disappeared into the dark night.
"Zhao Chen, are we too..."
"Sooner or later, it's okay!" Zhao Chen naturally knew what Li Ruoshuang wanted to say.
But others have bullied themselves, and Zhao Chen is not a good person.
Since it has reached this point, it is naturally impossible to admit defeat!
"I've been by your side to protect you these days!" Li Ruoshuang sat down and said seriously with Zhao Chen.
She was also worried that once the peppers in East and West Markets began to be sold tomorrow, those people might be killed by Zhao Chen.
There is no protection in the tavern.
She was worried about leaving Zhao Chen here.
"The weather has become colder, and I can't sleep in the aisle anymore at night, you..." Zhao Chen looked at Li Ruoshuang and whispered.
"What do you want to say?" Li Ruoshuang was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red, her eyes flashing and her eyes flashed toward the side.
"I want to say..."
"Young Master, the food is ready, hey, where is Mr. Li?" Uncle Fu came out of the kitchen with the fragrant food.
Seeing that Li Shimin was not here, I couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
After all, Mr. Li doesn't go back without a meal, so he doesn't take any steps.
"Oh, there is something to do in his house. Let's go back first and come back in a few days." Zhao Chen smiled and placed a bowl of rice in front of Li Ruoshuang.
"Uncle Fu, Ruoshuang rests here tonight. Can I squeeze with you tonight? It's cold outside!" Zhao Chen and Uncle Fu said.
Chapter completed!
