In early spring, on the bluestone road outside the Chunming Gate of Chang'an City, pedestrians, cars and horses came and went, each walking their own way and not infringes on each other.

"Who are you? How dare you rob people of your property outside Chang'an City?"

Suddenly, a little girl's angry voice came.

Someone looked at the sound and saw a young Taoist priest of seventeen or eighteen years old, with more than ten black-clad thugs surrounding a donkey cart.

A cart of bright red fruits the size of peaches were pulled on the donkey cart. Some people in Chang'an City knew that it only appeared in Chang'an City last summer in Tomatoes.

Legend has it that the seeds of tomatoes were brought back from the distant West by His Royal Highness of the Wu King. The tomatoes taste sweet and sour. They can be used as vegetable soup or directly as fruits and vegetables, and are popular among all the nobles in Chang'an City.

This donkey cart can be sold for fifty tents in summer. It’s just February, and this cart of tomatoes will cost less than two hundred tents once it enters the East Market.

There were two people standing next to the donkey cart, one was an old farmer with a sad face, and the other was a 14 or 15-year-old girl. They should be father and daughter.

The little girl was wearing a washed red cloth shirt with two long braids on her head. She was now staring at the Taoist priest opposite with her apricot eyes widened.

The young Taoist priest wore a green Taoist robe and a cone-shaped face, with big eyes, thin lips, and thick pink on his face. He stood there with a demonic spirit (like an internet celebrity).

He and more than ten black-clothed thugs behind him surrounded the donkey cart and refused to let go.

Everyone knew that he was a Taoist priest from Jinbiao Sect when they saw this attitude. They could not provoke him, so they all avoided him from afar.

"Haha, this little girl is really interesting."

The Taoist priest smiled and said authentically.

"Master Dao, please take this car of tomatoes." Seeing this, the farmer who delivered the vegetables hurried forward and blocked the girl.

He stood in front of the young Taoist priest and bent down, with a forced smile on his face, just asking him not to steal his daughter.

When the little girl heard this, she stared at her and said loudly: "Grandma, we have worked hard for a whole winter to grow this car of tomatoes. We sold them for money to treat my mother's illness. How can we give it to them?"

The farmer was so scared that his face turned pale. He pulled the little girl back and said, "Don't talk Erya."

"Haha, treat the disease? I'm the best. The little girl went back with me and was happy to serve the Taoist masters. Dao Master will treat your mother." The young Taoist priest looked at Erya with a lewd look, shook his head and said.

His exaggerated posture when he spoke made people get goosebumps all over his body.

Erya was stunned when she heard this and couldn't help but look at the young Taoist priest.

"I dare not bother Master Dao, Master Dao will take the fruits and vegetables to eat. We both will go back now."

The farmer was frightened when he heard this. While speaking, he kept bowing to the young Taoist priest. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and pulled Erya to walk east.

"stop!"

The young Taoist priest said in a deep voice when he saw their father and daughter leaving.

Two black-clad thugs quickly stepped forward to block the father and daughter's way.

The farmer quickly turned around when he saw this, bowed to the young Taoist priest and begged, "Several Taoist priests, let go of the villain!"

The young Taoist priest looked at the corners of his mouth with a smile, and looked at them jokingly and said, "I will take away Master Ren and Tomato today."

This tomato is a rare thing. The young Taoist priest wants to snatch it back and offer it to his master. It is worth snatching it back if a farmer can grow tomatoes in winter.

As for the little girl, of course, it is not because of love, it is robbed back or given away, or taken as a slave, or sold. Anyway, there will be no story about the prince and Cinderella in the fairy tale.

The simple farmer also knew that the young Taoist priest had no kindness to their father and daughter, so he struggled desperately and asked passers-by for help.

"Robbery, help-"

Helplessly, the Taoist priests from Jinbiao Sect all refine immortality medicine for Li Shimin. They have always been domineering and no one dares to mess with them.

No one dared to interfere in this matter. Three or four black thugs easily subdued the farmer and daughter. They drove the ox cart and forced the farmer and daughter to walk towards Chang'an City without caring about the passers-by.

Just as they were eager to return to Chang'an City with the fruits of victory, a sound of horse hooves suddenly came from a distance, and a clean oil truck passed by along the middle track of the bluestone road.

The farmer saw that the carriage was on the track and knew that the person sitting on the carriage must be a person of identity, so he struggled and shouted, "Help---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The young Taoist priest saw his intention and turned his head to look at the farmer and said arrogantly: "I advise you to save some effort. Even if Dao Master stripped you father and daughter and chopped them up, no one dared to speak for you, let alone anyone could do anything to Dao Master."

As he said that, he said to the two black thugs who were twisting the farmer: "Give him a cruel thing, so that he and everyone around him know that it is amazing."

"ah--"

The two black-clothed thugs immediately twisted the farmer's arm hard. The farmer screamed in pain, and soon the black-clothed thugs were blocked again.

"What are you doing?"

The young Taoist priest was watching the black-clad thug torture the farmer with interest when he suddenly heard a calm voice coming from behind.

When I turned around, I saw a young man in a green robe walking steadily with his hands on his back, looking at him with evil spirits.

The young Taoist priest saw that the oil-cleaning truck had just passed by, and the driver was following the driver behind the man in the green robe. He guessed that the man in the green robe was a small official from other places who came to Chang'an.

He threatened with a slight smile: "This lord is so powerful! It's not easy to walk from outside to Kyoto. It's better to keep a little care about the other people's affairs in Chang'an City."

The green robe official looked at him and said expressionlessly: "I have been there for many years in Chang'an City, and I have never seen you as unrestrained as you."

When the young Taoist priest saw that the green robe officials did not give him face, he moved out to the backer and said, "I am just an unknown soldier under the seat of Master Yi Tianshi, and I naturally have never seen this adult.

But my master, Taoyi, is the Heavenly Master, who is now named by His Majesty. In Chang'an City, even if the prince sees him, he will salute respectfully."

The green-robed official said disdainfully, "Hmph, Tianshi? I am the one who is ordered by the Crown Prince to return to Chang'an to work in public from Jiangnan. Why are you afraid of Tianshi's failure?"

When the young Taoist priest heard that the backer brought out by the green robe official was Li Chengqian, he felt even more disdainful. Li Chengqian was in charge of Youzhou for many years and could not control them.

"You, the Taoist master, practice the medicine for immortality for His Majesty today, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must respect us.

Even if you are the disciple of His Highness, I will beat you to death, His Highness will not speak for you."

The green robe official's face was so angry that he heard this that his face flashed, and he instantly suppressed again. He had something to do when he returned to Chang'an this time.

Moreover, from the words of this Taoist priest, we can also know that this Taoist priest should be just a lackey who knows nothing, and even most of the government affairs in recent years have come from His Royal Highness.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and said in a deep voice: "Go and save people!"

The coachman behind the green robe official immediately stepped forward when he heard this.
