Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"His Royal Highness, you can seal Chang'an City for a while, but you cannot seal it for a while. Once His Majesty returns to the court in the future, or someone leaks the news, have you thought about the consequences?"

After hearing what Chu Xin said, Li Chengqian just smiled contemptuously and said:

"This prince is just rectifying those despicable merchants. If he gets enough supplies to help the people of the city, even if my father finds out, he will only scold him a few words at most and it will not matter at all."

"Besides, don't you and my father hate Chu Mo to death? If I'm acting like this now, aren't I just venting my anger on you?"

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, Chu Xin sneered in her heart.

Taking it out on us?To put it nicely, isn't it that you have taken a fancy to Chu Mo's property and want to take it for yourself?

Although she understood the other party's intention, Chu Xin did not point it out directly. Instead, she smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Li Chengqian was dumbfounded by Chu Xin's smile and was about to take action.

Chu Xin suddenly bowed slightly and said: "Your Highness, the daughter of the people has some things to be busy with now, so I will take my leave now."

With that said, Li Chengqian turned around and left without waiting for an answer.

Looking at Chu Xin's leaving figure, Li Chengqian clenched his fists and snorted: "Sooner or later you will be mine."

As soon as Chu Xin left the Prince's Mansion, she immediately said to Bao BuTong who was waiting outside: "Give me the order to evacuate all strongholds in Chang'an City as soon as possible. In addition, let them pay attention to the movements of the Prince's Mansion and Chu Mo."

Bao BuTong immediately accepted the order and left.

Shitou, who was waiting on the side, glanced coldly in the direction Bao BuTong left, and then followed Chu Xin away.

Chu Mo had just finished appeasing the merchants and was talking to Li Zhenying about the market strike when he saw several clerks running in in a hurry.

"President, acting president, something bad has happened. A large number of forbidden troops just surrounded our warehouse, sealed up all the materials inside, and drove all our people out."

"It's similar here, President, what should we do now?"

As soon as the few guys who came to report the news finished speaking, the merchants in the hall downstairs also got the news that all their warehouses and shops were sealed.

Suddenly everyone was so anxious that they all wanted to rush upstairs, unable to stop them.

Chu Mo frowned when he heard the noise outside, then got up and walked outside.

Seeing Chu Mo come out, the merchants all became quiet and looked at him directly.

Chu Mo frowned, and when no one spoke, he said coldly:

"You all, you must have received the news and know what is happening outside."

"I didn't expect that the imperial court would be so ruthless and not care about our life or death at all."

"However, now that the matter has reached this point, you can't possibly let me fight against the entire court by myself, right?"

"So, I have nothing to do now. You can go home and do whatever you want."

After hearing what Chu Mo said, the businessmen were anxious.

"President Chu, how did things turn into this? We just want to do business well, and everything was done according to your instructions before. Now that something has happened, you can't ignore us."

"Yes, President Chu, you have to help us think of a way. All of our wealth is in the shop and goods. If we are seized by the court, it means we don't want to give us a way to survive."

"Yes, yes, President Chu, we have always followed your instructions. Now that the matter is coming, you can't send us away with just such a word."

When the businessmen saw that Chu Mo didn't want to take care of it, they became even more anxious.

"Now that the imperial court has taken action, what else do you want from us? Do you want me to take you to disobey the holy order?"

"It doesn't matter that I'm alone, but you guys dare to drop everything and follow me?"

As soon as these words came out, the merchants in the Acropolis group retreated one after another, fearing that they would be thought to be part of Chu Mo's group.

At this time, someone in the crowd spoke.

"President Chu, you were the one who asked us to unite to strike the market before, but now you have attracted the wrath of the court. Do you want to get over it so easily? It can't be that easy."

"Oh, really? Why should I go on strike? And who forced me to find a way to solve this crisis?"

"Also, I have just finished talking about the market strike, and many people have not yet started to implement it. Why are you going to throw dirty water on me?"

As I spoke, I winked at the waiters beside me to let them pay attention to the person speaking in the crowd.

However, there seemed to be no one among the crowd. As soon as Chu Mo finished speaking, a discordant voice sounded again from a corner:

"President Chu, it's not that we want to put all the responsibility on you. It's really just a coincidence. You just said stop the market, and the court took action directly. It's hard not to make people associate the two things. .”

"Moreover, if you hadn't insisted on taking us on strike, how could there have been so many things?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I immediately received support from many people.

Chu Mo glanced at the crowd, but still couldn't find the person speaking.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Since you put all the blame on me, do I also have to settle my losses with you?"

"I got involved in this dispute because I was entrusted by you, and I also stood up for you, so I suffered an unreasonable disaster. Without you, how could all my property be seized?"

When the merchants heard that Chu Mo had thrown all the blame on them, their expressions suddenly changed, and the looks they looked at Chu Mo became unkind.

Seeing everyone like this, Chu Mo snorted coldly and said: "I, Chu Mo, don't claim to be a good person, but I am not someone who allows others to bully me. If you know what I am doing, then go home quietly and wait for my news. If you are If you want to mess around, don't blame me for being evil."

With that said, he took a step forward and faced the merchants directly.

When everyone saw Chu Mo like this, they immediately remembered those rumors, and then they remembered that the other party was not easy to mess with.

Seeing that the situation was about to be controlled by Chu Mo alone, a middle-aged man dressed like a wealthy businessman hidden in the crowd was about to speak again.

However, this time, as soon as he moved his position and was about to speak, several guys swarmed him and threw him to the ground.

Looking at the person pressed up by the waiter, Chu Mo glanced at him lightly and asked, "Who sent you here?"

"I'm sorry, President Chu. I didn't do anything. I just said a few words. If I made you unhappy, I will apologize to you right now."

Seeing that the other party had a tough mouth, Chu Mo waved his hand to the clerk and said, "Just pull him out and bury him alive."

As soon as he heard that he was going to be buried alive, the middle-aged wealthy businessman immediately begged for mercy:

"President Chu, please, please, please, please ask me, ask me, I will tell you everything. The housekeeper of the Changsun family asked me to come here. I have received some kindness from them before, and I just want to repay the kindness."
