"Great! See? Zhuang Zhou actually dared to point a sword at an imperial official. This is clearly treason!"
At this time, Zhao Qing came back with one hand covering his stomach and a limp in one leg.
Seeing Zhuang Zhou draw his sword and point it at Chen Mu, he immediately accused him of treason.
Then he continued:
"Mr. Zhuang, don't think you're that great just because you've been granted the title of county baron. In this Chang'an City, you're nothing!"
Faced with this guy's provocation, Zhuang Zhou was not angry.
Instead, he asked, "My title was bestowed upon me by His Majesty. If you say my title is worthless, then you are also saying that His Majesty is worthless too."
“???”
Zhao Qing was stunned. He found that Zhuang Zhou was really good at talking.
"I, I, I...I didn't say that."
But at this time.
Chen Mu obviously heard the key point, grabbed Zhao Qing and asked:
"Wait... you just said he had a title bestowed by His Majesty?"
"yes!"
Chen Mu's face suddenly fell:
"Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?"
"Because you didn't ask!"
“…”
Fuck you!
Chen Mu was really angry to death.
Can people with titles be easily moved?
I secretly cursed Zhao Qing as a fool.
But now that things have come to this, we have to think of a better solution.
"All of you step back!"
Chen Mu suddenly shouted at the officers and soldiers.
These people were completely confused.
I just asked them to go up, and now I ask them to leave.
Instead, I don’t know what to do?
It was not until Chen Mu shouted again that the officers and soldiers hurriedly put away their swords and stepped aside.
At this point, Chen Mu knew it was time to smooth things over and slip away:
"You two are both guilty of this matter, but since it's your first offense, I'll let it go this time. If it happens again, I won't let you off lightly."
After saying that, he prepared to slip away.
But Zhao Qing refused to do it.
If it ended like this, he would have been beaten for nothing.
The key point is that it cost five hundred strings of cash.
Isn't this asking for trouble?
The more Zhao Qing thought about it, the angrier he became. He grabbed Chen Mu and said:
"Brother Chen, you can't leave. Hurry and arrest this Zhuang Zhou."
“Nonsense!”
Chen Mu was cursing in his heart, you idiot, you don’t know when to advance or retreat.
When Cheng Zhimo told Chen Mu about his family background just now, he felt uneasy.
There are so many important people living in Chang'an City!
Just this Zhuang Zhou, a mere businessman, was able to have the title of county baron conferred by the emperor.
Anyone who can make friends with these people must have a good family background.
When he thought of this, Chen Mu looked up at Cheng Zhimo again, and he became even more certain that this person's background must be extraordinary.
Damn!
If I don’t leave now, I’m really going to be killed by this idiot Zhao Qing.
"Brother Chen, I asked you to come here to help me. You can't leave. He has pointed his sword at you. This is treason. You have to arrest him."
Thinking of this, Chen Mu looked at Zhuang Zhou again:
"Zhuang County Man, please put down your sword first, otherwise I will really charge you with assassinating an imperial official, which is a serious crime of treason."
I heard that the other party actually wanted to accuse Zhuang Zhou of treason.
Li Chengqian couldn't bear it any longer.
"Humph! Treason?"
At this time, Li Chengqian walked out directly.
He scolded Chen Mu:
"You mobilized the city defense officers and soldiers without permission. This is treason."
Chen Mu originally wanted to find an excuse to escape.
But who knew that another young man would appear.
And looking at the momentum, you can't afford to offend him!
"Who are you?"
Chen Mu guessed in his heart that this must be the son of a powerful family in the court.
"Who am I? You are not worthy to ask."
Then, Li Chengqian turned to Zhuang Zhou and said:
"Put away your sword first."
"Oh! All right then!"
Zhuang Zhou knew that pointing a sword at an imperial official would easily give people an excuse to criticize him.
He doesn't want to give the other party this opportunity.
Just as Zhuang Zhou was putting away his sword, Li Chengqian suddenly noticed that the sword looked very familiar.
Looking closely, I realized that this was my father's Emperor's Sword.
He had once asked his father for this sword.
But my father didn’t give it to me.
Who would have thought.
My father actually gave it to Zhuang Zhou.
This time when Li Chengqian came back from the front military camp, he kept hearing his father talk about Zhuang Zhou.
Now it seems that my father really values Zhuang Zhou!
So now that things have gotten to this point, Li Chengqian has to step in to settle it.
We must never allow anyone to accuse Zhuang Zhou of treason.
"Cheng Zhimo, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
At this time, Li Chengqian called out to Cheng Zhimo and asked for his opinion on how to deal with the situation.
Cheng Zhimo walked closer, stared at Chen Mu, and said coldly:
"In my opinion, this guy dared to mobilize the city defense officers and soldiers without permission. He should be handed over to the Ministry of Justice!"
"ah?"
Chen Mu suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
The hairs on my back stood up and I felt cold all over.
He heard it clearly just now. This guy’s name is Cheng Zhimo?
Isn’t that the eldest son of Cheng Yaojin from Duke Lu’s Mansion?
What is his relationship with Zhuang Zhou?
The most important thing is that this young man just called out Cheng Zhimo's name directly.
This shows that he is even more powerful than Duke Lu's Mansion.
In the capital city of Chang'an, there are powerful and noble families, and their networks are intricate.
If you are not careful, you will fall.
Chen Mu immediately realized that he might be in trouble today.
Think about this.
Chen Mu no longer had any thoughts of staying and just wanted to get away quickly!
