This person is the guest surnamed Luo who has just come here to buy dried chili peppers.
But for some reason, I returned to this place.
"Luo Tong, when did you go back 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 not authentic. It would be fine if you left quietly at the beginning. I won't tell us first when I come back today." Qin Huaiyu also looked happy.
Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and Luo Tong were all in a tough relationship.
The three of them were friends, but later Luo Tong's father Luo Cheng died in battle, leaving behind an orphan and widowed mother.
The two families also took good care of each other, and the three children grew up together.
The friendship is naturally very profound.
But half a year ago, Luo Tong suddenly left without saying goodbye.
It was really surprising that it suddenly appeared again today.
"Zhao Chen, this is Luo Tong, Xiao Qin, and him, who grew up together when I was a child!" Cheng Chumo introduced to Zhao Chen.
"Luo Tong, this is our brother, Zhao Chen." Qin Huaiyu also introduced Zhao Chen to Luo Tong.
When Luo Tong's expression changed slightly when he heard Qin Huaiyu say that Zhao Chen was the brother of the two of them.
This was the first time he said this from Qin Huaiyu.
Even though they grew up together, Qin Huaiyu never told him about it.
"Mr. Marquis of the County, can you spare them this time?" Luo Tong bowed to Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen looked at Luo Tong and answered without rushingly.
Luo Tong should have been a figure in the story book, and there was no such person in the history of the Tang Dynasty.
But why is there a Luo Tong standing in front of me?
For a moment, Zhao Chen felt a little confused.
"Luo Tong, isn't that the son of the late Duke of Yue Luo Cheng? I heard that he went to Zhao County this time and married the girl from Li's family in Zhao County. Why is he back today?"
"Zhao County Li Family? Wouldn't that mean that Luo Tong is also from the aristocratic family?"
"I don't know that the Li family of Zhao County has the same roots and origins as the royal family. They always stand on the side of the royal family. They should not make things difficult for the marquis of Zhao County."
"How could Luo Tong plead for people from other aristocratic families?"
The people were talking endlessly.
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were both stunned.
No one of them expected that Luo Tong came here to plead for 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 with him today, he will not spare these shopkeepers easily.
Besides, he and Luo Tong don’t know each other.
At most, I only met for the first time now.
Zhao Chen's refusal without hesitation made Luo Tong's face stagnate.
He looked at Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu, but found that they shook their heads at him.
Luo Tong frowned.
"Zhaoxianhou, I need their help here, please..."
"A few shopkeepers, don't you kneel 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 happy just now.
I thought Luo Tong would be able to save him when he came.
Who knew that Zhao Chen didn't give Luo Tong any face.
You must know that Luo Tong inherited the title of his father Luo Cheng, Duke Yue.
He Luo Cheng is also a Duke now.
A small county marquis dared to be so disrespectful to the Duke?
"Zhao Chen, you!" Luo Tong clenched his fists and a hint of annoyance flashed across his eyes.
"Luo Tong, you'd better be honest and clench your fists in front of Zhao Chen. I'm going to beat you up so hard that you can't get up, do you believe it?" Li Ruoshuang stood beside Zhao Chen, looking at Luo Tong with a cold face.
Seeing Li Ruoshuang protecting Zhao Chen in front of him like this, Luo Tong's expression slightly stopped.
He had never seen Li Ruoshuang protect a man like this.
"Luo Tong, don't participate 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.
Then he and Qin Huaiyu don’t know what to do then!
Luo Tong frowned and saw that Qin Huaiyu was 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 expression.
In his words, he did not care about the identity of Duke Luotong.
The emperor has made up his mind to deal with the aristocratic family. At this moment, Luo Tong must be feeling uncomfortable when he talks to the aristocratic family.
If Luo Tong stayed here today, he would definitely be known to the emperor.
How can you avoid being implicated in the future?
Zhao Chen also thought about Luo Tong, Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaiyu and his friends getting along, and he didn't want him to get stuck here.
Otherwise, Luo Tong has been taken down.
"Zhao Chen, you!" Luo Tong gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Chen, but Yu Guang saw Empress Changsun sitting on a stool behind him.
Empress Changsun shook her head at her.
Luo Tong's expression suddenly changed.
He didn't notice that Empress Changsun actually came here in casual clothes.
What does this convey?
"Sir, you want to take us away."
"Duke, Zhao Chen is overwhelming with his power. You are the son-in-law of Li's family in Zhao County, and we are our own people. You can't watch us bullied by Zhao Chen."
"Sir, save us!"
When several shopkeepers saw Luo Tong hesitating, they immediately shouted, and actually knelt in front of Luo Tong.
Luo Tong stood there without reaction and looked at Zhao Chen deeply.
Turn around and leave!
"Leave?"
"Luo Tong actually left like this?"
"He is the Duke of the State. Logically speaking, he should have taken the county marquis to the death. Why did he leave like this?"
"What the hell is going on?"
When the people saw Luo Tong, they turned around and left without saying anything.
It's all full of curiosity right now.
In their opinion, a duke can easily crush the county marquis.
But the reality is that the Duke left in shame!
Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu both whispered in a low voice at this moment, secretly glading.
The shopkeepers kneeling on the ground were all confused at this moment.
They would never have thought that Luo Tong, the dignified Duke, would show his timidity in front of Zhao Chen, a small county marquis.
He didn't say anything, turned around and ran away?
"You guys kneel down and don't get up."
A few shopkeepers were about to stand up when they heard Zhao Chen say this.
Several strong men surrounded them and pressed them down heavily.
"Everyone, I have had some misunderstandings just now, which has disturbed you. Now these people have been taken down, you can continue to buy peppers." Zhao Chen shouted to the people, then retreated back and sat down next to Empress Changsun.
The people slowly surrounded them.
Some people still wanted to continue buying some green peppers to try the taste, while others came to watch the shopkeepers kneeling on the ground.
After all, these people are also big names for them.
But even so, these people still have to kneel here!
The people lined up and passed by several shopkeepers one by one.
Several shopkeepers had never experienced such humiliation, and they were ashamed.
Chapter completed!
