Qin Huaiyu actually meant that she wanted Zhao Chen to leave directly.

In this way, he would not have conflicts with the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

But Zhao Chen obviously had no idea of ​​leaving. Instead, he stood up, with his hands on his back, and looked at the convoy slowly coming in outside the city.

"Sir, the lowly merchants at the city gate are still there." Someone in the convoy saw people wearing merchant clothes standing by the city gate from afar.

The merchant who was beaten up in the morning was still here now.

This is undoubtedly a question of the majesty of their young minister, Dali Temple.

What's even more strange is that in front of them, someone actually led a horse and handed over two coins when passing by some merchants.

The person who paid the money was an official wearing a green robe.

Not only this person, but everyone who passes through the front is obediently paying the money.

"Sir, it's strange. There are actually many people in front who really pay the merchants when they enter the city."

"And, these soldiers guarding the city seem to be different from when we came out in the morning. They look a little familiar."

"Sir, these soldiers guarding the city seem to be all the nobles of Chang'an City." Next to the carriage, the man who was speaking before suddenly raised his voice.

"Oh?" A faint sound came from the carriage.

"Yesterday, Your Majesty punished Zhao Chen for guarding the city gate. It was probably this Mingde Gate." The voice in the carriage came again, still as cold as before.

"Zhao Chen?" The entourage beside him raised his voice.

"Sir, Zhao Chen is very powerful. If he insists on us paying the toll..."

"Awesome? Zhao Chen is just supported by His Majesty, but a mere county official dares to stop me?"

"Tell me that if Zhao Chen dares to stop him, he will directly press him to the ground."

"Zhao Chen is used to being arrogant in the court, so it's time for him to have a good memory!" The voice came, and then he fell into silence again.

The convoy of Shaoqing of Dali Temple continued to move forward and soon walked to the city gate.

"Stop, pay the fee!" Zhao Chen stood forward, his expression calm and calm.

Behind him were the people from the academy.

After that, there are a group of merchants!

"Hey? Isn't this the convoy of Master Shaoqing of Dali Temple who left the city in the morning? Are they back now?"

"In the morning, the Duke of Zhao County had not come here yet. These merchants were dealt with by the Shaoqing people. Is Duke of Zhao County seeking revenge on them?"

"No, that's the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. What's the benefit of Zhao County Duke offending him?"

"Just a few merchants, no one will be so stupid. Do things that are not good for them!"

"But the Duke of Zhao himself blocked the middle of the road himself, and he didn't move any longer before."

Seeing Zhao Chen taking the initiative to block the city gate for the first time, the people who were originally from groups looked at this side again.

Many people recognized the convoy entering the city as the team of Shaoqing of Dali Temple who left the city in the morning.

"Duke Zhao County, the person sitting in the carriage is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. You have to think it through!" The followers beside Shaoqing of Dali Temple did not expect that Zhao Chen would stand in the middle of the road by himself.

No matter what, without the clear instructions of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, they would not have taken the initiative to attack Zhao Chen.

Although he looked down on Zhao Chen in his heart, Zhao Chen was a county magistrate after all. If he really wanted to start, none of them would have a good ending.

"Dai Shaoqing, the county magistrate was ordered to guard Mingdemen here and assist Huang Zhi and others in collecting tolls."

"I heard that Dai Shaoqing not only did not pay the money this morning, but sent people to beat these merchants. I wonder if this is the case?" Zhao Chenli ignored the talker and slowly walked to Shaoqing's carriage in Dali Temple.

"Zhao Chen, do you want to vent their anger?" The curtain of the carriage opened a corner, and there was a thin little old man inside.

He is Dai Zhou, the young minister of Dali Temple.

"Take off your anger? As the young minister of Dali Temple, Lord Dai openly indulged his subordinates and beat the merchants."

"I wonder if Lord Dai is also venting his anger?" Zhao Chen looked at Dai Zhou in front of him and said slowly.

"Can I be the same as them?" Dai Zhou jokingly said.

There are classes where there are people. Since ancient times, the status of merchants has been the lowest.

Although Dai Zhou said it badly, officials are indeed different from merchants.

However, Zhao Chen doesn't care about this today.

"Dai Shaoqing, I'll tell you this." Zhao Chen cleared his throat and said, "Or, you can withdraw from here now and enter the city from other gates."

"Or, hand over the money and apologize to the merchant who was beaten by your men this morning."

"Or, you can try to break through here!"

"Zhao Chen, you have figured it out!" As soon as Zhao Chen finished speaking, he heard Dai Zhou shouting softly.

"I know very well." Zhao Chen nodded and waved to Cheng Chumo. Cheng Chumo pushed the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, who was vaguely conscious.

"Head Cui!" Dai Zhou's face had not changed color just now. When he saw the appearance of the head of Cui's family, his expression changed drastically.

At this moment, the head of the Cui family was wearing the clothes of soldiers guarding the city.

His face was stained and his expression was lonely, and he was not as arrogant as before.

"Mr. Dai...Sir. Save...Save me."

Perhaps he hadn't even taken a sip of water for a day, and the voice of the head of the Cui family was hoarse, begging Dai Zhou to shout.

The eyes didn't even have the courage to look at Zhao Chen.

"The head of the Cui family is unwilling to apologize to us, so he had to let him reflect on it."

"I think Lord Dai has a good relationship with the head of the Cui family, so why not stay here and be a companion with the head of the Cui family." Zhao Chen said to Dai Zhou with a smile.

It seems like it's just talking about a trivial matter that is irrelevant.

"Master Cui, it will be dark soon. I don't want to see you here again tomorrow. Do you think about it and apologize?" Zhao Chen turned around and asked the Master Cui.

"I...I..." The head of the Cui family never thought that he would have such a day.

Back then, Cui clan in Qinghe, along with other aristocratic families, called the wind and rain in Chang'an City.

Even the emperor avoided them three points.

But since the person in front of him appeared, in just one year, he helped the emperor reduce the power of their aristocratic families again and again.

Until Cui Yan was killed and he was detained here today, no one came to save him.

The head of the Cui family understood that the era that belonged to their aristocratic family had ended.

After staying here for a day, the head of the Cui family had long realized that the face of Cui's family in Qinghe had been lost when he was detained.

He cannot save any dignity if he apologizes or not.

What's more, Dai Zhou in front of him seemed to have not expected Zhao Chen to be so determined.

To put it bluntly, even Dai Zhou himself cannot protect himself.

Save him?

How is that possible!

"It's all Cui's fault for Duke Zhao County. Cui is willing to apologize to his previous brother."

"Please let Cui off his horse!" The voice of the head of the Cui family rang slowly, and he turned around and bowed to the merchants.

"He...is he apologized?"

"He apologized to these merchants, the head of the Cui family in Qinghe?"

"Today I was really open. The head of the Cui family of Qinghe was forced to this point today."

"The head of the Cui family in Qinghe apologized, the young minister of Dali Temple, Lord Dai, he..."

The Cui family leader's apology surprised everyone.

Not only did the people unexpectedly, but Dai Zhou did not expect it at all.
