Li Shimin and the other two stayed in the tavern for one night. As soon as it dawned, the three of them went back in a carriage.

Zhao Chen, who was left with a look of lament, lay weakly on the counter.

He felt that Empress Changsun had a problem for himself.

The five surnames and seven hopes, how could he, a county marquis, deal with?

"Zhao Chen, something happened." Cheng Chumo hurriedly ran in from outside, with a hint of panic on his face.

At this moment, the genius had just dawned, and even people were rarely seen on the street.

Cheng Chumo was able to get here so early, obviously he came all the way.

"What's wrong, tell me slowly." Zhao Chen poured Cheng Chumo a cup of warm tea and said.

"Just just now, the bookstore came to report to me and said that the papermaking workshop that had promised to supply us with paper, and they all refused to deliver the goods."

"I even threatened that if you want paper, you can pay the previous ten times the price."

"What's even more outrageous is that those printing workshops directly rejected the printing of our bookstore and said that they would not print any books for our bookstore in the future."

"On the way I came, I asked several more companies. When they heard that I was from Wangyou Bookstore, they didn't even let me in."

"Zhao Chen, the bookstore is afraid it will be in trouble." Cheng Chumo took a sip of tea and said for a long time.

To sum up, it is that Wangyou Bookstore has been targeted.

The papers and printing workshops that printed books refused to cooperate with them.

The Wangyou Bookstore invested a lot of money, and they had already promoted it in the Tai Chi Hall before.

Many officials say that they will come to support the business when it opens.

But if this continues, the bookstore will be ruined within a few days without waiting for the opening.

Not to mention the loss of money, it will definitely offend a group of officials in the court.

Even Cheng Chumo dared not think about this consequence.

If it weren't for this emergency, he wouldn't have been so panicked.

"Zhao Chen, what should I do?" Li Ruoshuang turned over and dismounted and headed straight for the tavern.

"Brother, I heard something happened in the bookstore." Before Zhao Chen could speak, Qin Huaiyu arrived later.

"Last night, several shopkeepers from the five surnamed Qiwang came to find me. They asked us to hand over the peppers to them."

"Otherwise, our bookstore will not be able to continue to do it." Zhao Chen and the three of them explained.

"It's outrageous!" Li Ruoshuang was furious when she heard that Zhao Chen was threatened like this and slapped him on the table.

"I'll go and see where they got the courage." Li Ruoshuang turned around and walked to the backyard. Within a few breaths, she saw her take out a kitchen knife from the back kitchen.

He stepped outside with murderous aura.

"Ruoshuang, stop." Zhao Chen shouted.

Li Ruoshuang just paused and continued walking out.

"Li Ruoshuang, if you go today, don't come again in the future!" Zhao Chen stood up and said coldly.

"They all bully you so much!" Li Ruoshuang stopped, turned around, and looked at Zhao Chen with red eyes.

Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu didn't dare to speak at this time.

They didn't understand why Zhao Chen said such heavy words to Li Ruoshuang.

Everyone could see that Li Ruoshuang was so angry that she was not because Zhao Chen was bullied by those people at home?

Could it be that Zhao Chen dare not offend him because there are five surnames and seven hopes on the other side?

But this is obviously not Zhao Chen's style...

Zhao Chen slowly let out a breath and said to Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu around him: "You go and find a bigger and more secret place for me first."

"Look for a hundred strong men and let them buy rice poles, trees, rotten hemp and other things in the fields of Chang'an City."

"Oh, OK!" Cheng Chumo nodded.

"I will explain to you after you come back, go!" Qin Huaiyu was about to ask more questions when he heard Zhao Chen take the initiative to say to him.

The two soon left the tavern and greeted Li Ruoshuang. The troops split into two groups and disappeared on the street.

"Don't be so impulsive in the future. After all, the five surnames and seven hopes are deeply rooted in famous families. If you rush over like this and deal with those people, even if you are angry, General Li will always give an explanation." Zhao Chen walked behind Li Ruoshuang's head."

, took off the kitchen knife in her hand and said softly.

Zhao Chen was also frightened by Li Ruoshuang's impulse just now.

The lives of those shopkeepers are naturally nothing.

But Li Ruoshuang rushed over like this and directly injured someone.

Will a prominent clan like the Five Clans and Qiwang swallow his anger?

Even if Li Jing is planning to have a complete fall, Li Ruoshuang will not be able to protect him.

Even though Zhao Chen knew that Li Ruoshuang was for her and was moved, she could never let her do these things.

"But……"

"I'm not good, on the contrary, they left angrily yesterday." Zhao Chen smiled and pulled Li Ruoshuang into the tavern.

"Let's have a cup of tea first, warm your body. Have you eaten? I'll make some for you." Zhao Chen asked with a smile after pouring a cup of tea for Li Ruoshuang.

"Gulu--" Li Ruoshuang drank all the tea in the cup in one gulp, looked at Zhao Chen, and asked, "Then how are you going to deal with them?"

Li Ruoshuang also received news that the four families with five surnames and seven hopes directly banned Chang'an City, and even papermaking workshops and printing workshops in surrounding cities, and Wangyou Bookstores.

This was simply a hit on the seven-inch part of Wangyou Bookstore with one stick.

If this matter cannot be resolved, Wangyou Bookstore will be finished.

"I have asked Lao Cheng and Xiao Qin to do it. Let's have something to eat first. We will go to the palace later to meet Duan Lun, the Minister of Works, and ask him for help." Zhao Chen smiled,

Said to Li Ruoshuang.

"Duan Lun?" Li Ruoshuang was stunned for a moment, and then saw Zhao Chen coming into the backyard with a kitchen knife.

I think I went to make breakfast.

Li Ruoshuang didn't understand how Zhao Chen would save the matter.

Thinking of the status of the five surnames and seven hopes in the Tang Dynasty, Li Ruoshuang couldn't help but lose confidence.

...

"Haha, it's a good job. I haven't bought a piece of paper from Wangyou Bookstore today."

"And the printing workshop didn't print a book for them."

"I want to see what Wangyou Bookstore will open in a few days."

The old shopkeeper of the Cui family in Boling looked at the news in his hand and showed a joking look on his face.

He has received the news that the means against Wangyou Bookstore have been implemented.

Wangyou Bookstore traveled all over Chang'an City, but he didn't buy a piece of paper.

This is exactly what he wants.

Next to them were the shopkeepers of the other three families, who were waiting for news here early in the morning.

When they heard the old shopkeeper's voice, they knew that the matter had succeeded.

"It's better for Mr. Cui to do it. Zhao Chen thought he had a title, so we didn't dare to fight him. It was a joke."

"If the peppers are not handed over to us, Zhao Chen's bookstore will not be able to come back alive."

"I heard that the peppers are kept fresh for up to seven days. I want to see if Zhao Chen wants to come over and beg for mercy from me."

"Aren't he arrogant yesterday? When he comes to beg me to wait, he must ridicule him."

"Wannian County Marquis? Nothing isn't it!"
