After stepping on all the noble families, the empress asked me to marry her?

Chapter 324: Shocked by Heaven, New Hidden Dangers Emerge

“Oh my God, what is this place?”

[“Lord, have mercy, I have encountered a monster.”]

[“What a huge steel beast. It can actually run.”]

[“There’s actually so much steel here. That’s our royal family’s configuration. I must figure it out… ah!”]

[“Hurry up, his leg is broken!”]

[“Hurry up and report to the captain of the guard. The patrol battalion is bringing people here. A fool has tried to stop a train with his legs swept across the hall. We are going to find a doctor.”]

[“Hurry up and save him. Others are not allowed to stand by and watch. Disperse.”]

【Inside Chang'an City. 】

[There has been more than one such incident.]

[In recent days, due to the booming market and market, more and more European businessmen have joined in. Unlike the people of the small country on the border of Yu Country, they are full of curiosity about these unexpected things and are very yearning for them.]

[In order to reduce accidental casualties, Jingzhao Prefecture also specially installed guardrails and anti-crossing isolation here. ]

[But those foreigners who saw the train for the first time still wanted to get closer to observe it like crazy.]

【Bloody incidents occurred one after another.】

[There are even extremists who do not want compensation but just want to see more. ]

【For a while, there was chaos.】

[There is no other choice but to send more people to patrol and inspect here. ]

[However, all of this is just some recent episodes. People from the outside world are becoming more and more crazy about Chang'an City, because they seem to have seen another world here.]

[“Is this heaven? Why are there no slaves? Oh my God.”]

[“Why are there so many goods here? I saw the oil from my hometown. Where did they come from?”]

[“These are all exquisite products of our royal family.”]

[The streets and alleys were filled with the sounds of ghosts and wolves howling. ]

[“This is truly heaven.”]

[Every merchant walking the streets has such feelings. ]

[It’s not that the splendor before our eyes is fake, but that this is the case almost everywhere in Chang’an City.]

……

Outside the sky, the merchants from Cheng State who witnessed the grand occasion of Yu State felt very uncomfortable.

Every business has its own rules.

They also have their own standards for comparison.

How could they accept calmly that foreign merchants could be so shocked? Even if they saw it, they were full of envy.

"Oh, it's really God who feeds me."

"Look at how their business is going. They are making money from all over the world."

"Yes, Laicai, Laicai... What day are we on?"

"In addition to getting up early and working late every day, I also have to give some of my income to those wealthy men. Sigh..."

What they are talking about is naturally a certain amount of rental fees.

These fees are said to be collected by the government, but in fact they have long been pocketed by those with ulterior motives.

Because the markets and some areas of Chengguo are controlled by disciples of aristocratic families, they only need to collect rent on a monthly basis and can increase the rent at will, so the people dare not speak out even though they are angry.

Naturally, these things cannot reach the ears of God.

Even under the feet of the emperor, those people from the aristocratic families still do whatever they want, after all, Chang'an City is still their world.

Officials protect each other and turn a blind eye to each other.

Don’t say that the female emperor Ji Qingluo didn’t know.

Even if she wanted to know, she couldn't know unless she met the people.

"What are you talking about? Shut up!"

"You keep nagging me. You don't want to live any more!" "How dare you complain on my land? If you don't want to work, get out of here. I won't rent this land to you guys even if it's rotten."

There was a burst of ridicule and abuse coming from the side.

There were several disciples from aristocratic families strolling leisurely in the garden, fanning themselves gently with folding fans in their hands, showing their literary demeanor and lyrical elegance.

They were the most romantic and unrestrained people in Chang'an.

Although he usually plays the role of a noble family, he is actually a bad person at heart.

Although they are honest merchants, in their eyes they are just punching bags that can be exploited and suppressed at will.

In recent times, because of the deduction, people have been staring at the scene above the sky in a trance.

Because of this, Chen Huaixin's reputation continued to rise, to the point where they could no longer control it.

On the other hand, these children of noble families were excluded because of various reasons in the past...

Some people have even started criticizing them in the streets.

"Hmph, just wait and see. I don't believe this deduction is so amazing."

One of the young men from the noble family complained in dissatisfaction.

"There's a saying that goes 'a tall tree attracts the wind', making big money behind closed doors is the right path. Chen Huaixin's ostentatious behavior will get him into trouble sooner or later."

"Isn't he showing off? Just watch..."

"It won't be long before this elaborately created scene of prosperity and grandeur will lead to chaos."

……

【Yuguo, Chang'an City, side alley of Zhongjie. 】

[Several merchants with blond hair, blue eyes and curly beards ran here quickly with their goods.]

【This is just an empty alley.】

[There are no market stalls, no houses, only an empty alley. ]

[The merchants quickly unloaded their goods and bags, and finally took out paper and pens. Not only that, they also began to build a human wall and a ladder, and forcibly climbed to the top of this corridor.]

[What they wanted to see was not this deserted street at all.]

[It's the train depot across the street wall! ]

【The train came out from here. 】

[There are several carriages sitting idle in the corner. ]

[These merchants spotted the spot and began to write furiously, painting everything they saw.]

【No need to ask.】

【These people are spies! 】

[And they sent in well-trained experts. ]

[Makeup, lurking, and even investigation are all first-rate. 】

[Although the wall has eyes, it is hidden so deeply that basically no one can detect it. ]

[Just when they were peeping, several dark shadows had already lurked in from the darkness. Their breath was suppressed and their movements were very impressive, making it almost impossible to detect their movements.]

[“Draw all of these quickly.”]

[“Yes, draw everything. The front of the train, the warehouse, and the platform. Draw everything that can be drawn.”]

[“As long as you bring these back, the bishop will reward you handsomely.”]

【Listening to what the righteous man said, the others also followed suit. 】

[“This Yu Kingdom is really the same as the rumors say. It’s too exaggerated.”]

[“Yes, I have never seen such a vulgar atmosphere. We should really take all of them back and present them to our protagonist instead of leaving them here to gather dust.”]

[“What if we are discovered doing this?”]

[“It’s okay. We are merchants. Who would want to make things difficult for us? I heard that Chen Huaixin killed many disciples from noble families before, but no matter how many he killed, he couldn’t kill us.”]
