Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

After leaving the Lanmeifang and getting on the carriage, Ye Chen immediately said to Shen Qiu, "Qiu'er, go and investigate the government office thoroughly."

Although Ye Chen knew the address of the yamen, he did not choose to go there directly. Instead, he planned to find out the information first and take action tomorrow.

Make sure everything is safe.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu nodded without hesitation.

"And the commercial license, send the imperial guards to get it."

Ye Chen instructed again, it was just a business permit for a brothel. If the imperial guards asked for it, would the yamen dare not give it?

Those yamen officials don't even have ranks. Any imperial guards are close ministers of the emperor and are not comparable to them.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu nodded again. Since it was about contacting the Qiang people, the Queen Mother would definitely agree.

Then, the carriage fell into a brief silence.

Ye Chen looked at Shen Qiu, who had deliberately kept a distance from him, and suddenly smiled and said, "Qiu'er, that Huamei isn't a martial artist. Not everyone in this lakeside village has to learn martial arts. It seems like it's not a completely underworld organization."

Hearing this, Shen Qiu was slightly stunned and suddenly felt surprised.

When Ye Chen touched Huamei's hand before, she thought Ye Chen was revealing his true nature. Now it seems that Ye Chen is also trying to test her background.

However, Shen Qiu felt that Ye Chen did it on purpose.

"Qiu'er, by the way, do you have calluses on your hands? Let me take a look!"

Ye Chen suddenly said with a serious face.

Hearing this, Shen Qiu glared at Ye Chen and moved his body further away.

"Qiu'er, don't be wary of me like you're a wolf. I'm a little confused about how calluses form on the hands of martial artists, and I want to study them. This way, I can clearly tell whether someone is a martial artist or does rough labor!"

Ye Chen's words were well-reasoned and Shen Qiu frowned slightly. Just when Ye Chen thought she would agree.

"Then Your Majesty, how were you able to tell that Yu Niang was using a knife?"

"Hey, cough, cough."

Ye Chen suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and said, "Well, that time doesn't count. I was just guessing. And I can only tell whether the opponent is using a knife or not. If someone uses a sword or a gun, the calluses on their hands will definitely be different."

"Qiu'er, stop talking so much and show me your hand."

Hearing this, although Shen Qiu was reluctant in his heart, he really couldn't find a good excuse to refute, so he finally reached out his hand.

Just when Ye Chen was about to grab his hand.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, we've been stopped."

Shen Qiu immediately withdrew his hand, opened the door curtain and took a look, then said.

At this moment, a cold and murderous aura emanated from this aloof and majestic sister.

Ye Chen was furious. He was about to shake hands and eat tofu when someone overturned the table.

How could he bear this?

"Who dares to stop me?"

Ye Chen walked out of the carriage angrily and immediately saw four carriages standing on the street ahead. These four carriages stood side by side, blocking the road.

Dozens of slaves in green clothes quickly got off the car, each holding a stick in his hand.

After all, they were in the capital, and these people didn't dare to use knives.

"Master, I finally caught up with you!"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows, turned around and saw Gu Tong striding towards him.

At this moment, Gu Tong was extremely arrogant. He stared at Ye Chen with disdain, and then looked at Shen Qiu beside Ye Chen.

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly, but saw that these blue-clothed servants were beating and scolding anyone they saw. The people around were frightened and fled. Some people ran a little slowly and were beaten with blood on their heads, looking miserable.

His face completely darkened.

Are the people of the capital city being bullied like this all day long?

This is still within the world, what about other places?

Wouldn't it be worse?

It's so lawless.

"Hey, kid, I've taken a fancy to your maid. Give her to me, and if you kowtow to me three times, I'll spare your life today. Otherwise, if you make it out of the capital alive, I'll write my name backwards!"

Gu Tong is extremely arrogant and domineering. Now there are more than thirty blue-clothed servants gathered around him, which makes him very confident.

And at this time.

It's in a small alley not far from here.

Hu Lie and his six men were secretly observing.

He doesn't get involved in beating people, but after beating them he can stand out and show off.

Even though the beautiful maid would be snatched away by Young Master Gu, the treasures in the carriage, including the fine horses pulling the carriage, were still worth a lot of silver.

Hu Lie was counting on his abacus with a clacking sound.

However, he did not notice that a group of people disguised as ordinary people surrounded the entire alley silently.

Faced with Gu Tong’s arrogant provocation, Ye Chen was so angry that he laughed.

"Qiu'er."

"Beat him hard! Injure him or cripple him! He deserves to be killed!"

Ye Chen waved his hand, his tone showing full anger, and his aura burst out like a huge wave.

First it was Li Ze and then Gu Tong. These playboys are really going against the will of heaven.

"Yes!"

Shen Qiu only felt an extremely strong sense of oppression coming from Ye Chen. Her body trembled and she immediately clasped her fists.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Qiu waved his hand.

"Do it!"

Hearing this, Gu Tong wondered if the two people in the carriage had gone crazy.

Don’t you see the situation clearly yet?

However, the next moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard from all around.

Gu Tong was slightly stunned, then he looked around and was immediately surprised to see many figures running towards him. These figures were all wearing ordinary people's clothes, but each of them had a knife drawn and pounced towards him like a tiger coming down the mountain.

"Who are you? You are rebelling! You are rebelling!"

"Troublemakers, a bunch of troublemakers!"

Gu Tong was roaring and cursing at first, but soon he was knocked to the ground by the troublemakers he was cursing.

His thirty or so men were beaten to the ground.

After getting Ye Chen's fate.

These imperial guards disguised as civilians killed each of Gu Tong's men. Even with the back of their swords, they still beat them until they bled and wailed.

As for Gu Tong, his face was extremely pale, and he was dragged in front of Ye Chen like a dead dog.

"Tell me, who is your father?"

Ye Chen stared at Gu Tong and asked.

"You, you, you're done. My father is an official appointed by the imperial court. How dare you treat me like this? You're all dead!"

When Gu Yitong heard Ye Chen asking who his father was, he instantly regained his spirits and shouted.

"Snapped!"

Ye Chen slapped Gu Tong in the face, causing him to roll twice on the ground and faint.

Shen Qiu immediately asked someone to fetch a bucket of cold water and poured it on Gu Tong's face.

Gu Tong was startled and woke up immediately.

"You, you, you're dead. My father works in the Ministry of Works, a fourth-rank official in the court. You, if you have any sense, just let me go."

After waking up, Gu Tong covered the swollen half of his face and stared at Ye Chen with a very resentful look.

"Oh, your father is the Minister of Works?"

Ye Chen had a sarcastic smile on his face. He wanted to know which minister gave birth to such a thing.

"My father is Gu Zhichun, Minister Gu!"

"Oh."

Ye Chen smiled. The name sounded unfamiliar to him. He thought that a mere minister was not a big shot.

"Drag him away and torture him severely. Find out what idiotic things he's done over the years!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

It was obvious that Gu Tong wanted his life, so he would not let him live.

This matter also involves the Ministry of Industry, and Ye Chen is planning to make a big deal about it.

"promise!"

Several imperial guards stepped forward and tried to drag Gu Tong away.

"What? You dare to torture me? No! You can't do this to me. My father is not only the Minister of Works, but my father-in-law is also the Right Minister of Revenue, a third-rank official in the court!"

When Gu Yitong heard that Ye Chen was going to torture him, he immediately panicked.

He had done a lot of oppression against the people in the past, so he naturally knew how to bully people.

But when he thought about these methods being used on himself, he suddenly felt a deep fear.

"Ah."

When I heard that this Gu was related to the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh.

This is really a double blessing.
