The immortal of the Tang Dynasty, but the game starts at Xuanwu Gate?

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Cheng Chumo and his two companions didn't dare to delay and immediately went to find Chen Huai'an.

"Sir, it seems we've gotten into trouble. What should we do?" Cheng Chumo said as soon as he came up.

Chen Huai'an gave them a strange look: "The three of you...aren't you prone to causing trouble?"

"What's so strange about that?"

The three of them: "..."

Li Zhen hurriedly explained, "Sir, it's not what you think. It's because the shop is opening today, and someone is trying to take advantage of their power to buy our recipe for five thousand strings of cash."

"The three of us were so angry that we beat him up."

"Who did they hit?" Chen Huai'an became serious, realizing that the person the other party had hit was probably someone important.

Otherwise, these three wouldn't have been so panicked.

Tang Heshang weakly replied, "It is Duke Pei Ji of Wei..."

"You dared to hit Pei Ji?" Chen Huai'an was startled. "I remember Pei Ji is over fifty years old, right? And his health isn't very good. Did the three of you get beaten to death?"

"No, no!" Cheng Chumo immediately explained when he saw that Chen Huai'an had misunderstood, "It's not Pei Ji, it seems to be Pei Ji's nephew, a fat bastard named Zhao Baishan."

Upon hearing Cheng Chumo's words, Chen Huai'an's previously anxious heart immediately settled down.

These three may be young, but it is precisely because of their young age that they are so reckless in their attacks.

So when he heard it was Pei Ji, he was really afraid that Cheng Chumo and the others would beat Pei Ji to death.

"Sir, what should we do?" Li Zhen asked worriedly.

It seems he had already foreseen being skinned alive by his own mother.

Chen Huai'an waved his hand dismissively: "What kind of bullshit Zhao Baishan is he? If you want to hit him, then hit him. He's a dog. It's already too good for him if we don't kill him."

"What are you afraid of? Have you forgotten who takes the lion's share of this business?"

"If they dare to retaliate, give them a good beating. If Pei Ji comes, remember not to kill him, just leave him alive."

"The sky won't fall down. Even if it does, I'll hold it up. Just go for it."

The three of them were dumbfounded.

They never expected Chen Huai'an to react this way.

At first, they were startled, as they were all worried that they would beat Pei Ji to death.

Now that they know the whole story, they actually say that it's already too good for Zhao Baishan that he wasn't beaten to death.

Is he that tough?

Little did they know, there were many twists and turns involved.

If it were someone else, a powerful duke, Chen Huai'an wouldn't have reacted this way.

Unfortunately, this person happens to be from the Pei family.

Chen Huai'an could only say, "Fight with confidence, Li Shimin will give you his full support."

"Sir... this... this... won't there be any problems?" Tang Heshang asked hesitantly.

Chen Huai'an scoffed: "What problems could possibly arise? Let me tell you, as long as no one dies, you will not only be blameless, but you will actually be credited."

"Even if you beat Pei Ji to death, at most you'll get a spanking, some minor punishment, and be locked up for a while, and that'll be the end of it."

"They're just kids, they don't know any better."

"We adults will forgive you."

Cheng Chumo and the other two were stunned.

Is that right?

Hitting someone... and you're actually credited for it?

"Alright, don't worry about that nonsense," Chen Huai'an said casually. "Those people might not give up so easily. You guys go and guard the shop. If they dare to come, give them a good beating!"

The three brothers were puzzled, but that didn't stop them from being happy.

Since you say everything is alright, then everything must be alright.

"Sir, something terrible has happened!"

Just then, someone else came over. It was the maid who was with Shen He: "That group of people came again, this time with government officials. They said our shop's permits are not up to standard and they want to shut it down."

"What?" Chen Huai'an immediately became furious upon hearing this.

He wasn't making money to satisfy himself, but rather to accumulate a substantial fortune for the Tang Dynasty in a short period of time, in order to cope with the constant natural and man-made disasters that would follow.

Now someone actually dares to stop us?

"You sons of bitches!" Chen Huai'an cursed angrily, and immediately said to his three younger brothers, "Go, no matter who comes, beat them up hard. Don't be afraid of those damn Pei family."

"Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you!"

"Alright!" Cheng Chumo and the other two were immediately excited upon hearing this.

At this moment, Chen Huai'an is so handsome it's outrageous!

Without the slightest hesitation, the three of them, with boundless trust in Chen Huai'an, headed aggressively towards the shop.

Chen Huai'an didn't sit down either, and followed behind.

When the group arrived, the shop had already been cordoned off, and a large crowd of onlookers had gathered around it.

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

The three brothers, carrying sticks they had picked up along the way, stormed in with their men, only to find Shen He standing quietly behind the counter, coldly watching He Ming, Zhao Baishan, and the two officials who had arrived.

"Uncle, it was them! They were the ones who hit me!"

Upon seeing the three young brothers, Zhao Baishan became instantly excited, pointing at them with trembling fingers and complaining to He Ming beside him.

He Ming narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "You're the owners behind this shop?"

"So what if I am?" Li Zhen wasn't intimidated at all, pointing his stick at Zhao Baishan: "You bastard, you've got some nerve, daring to come looking for trouble!"

"Looks like I didn't hit you hard enough!"

"Look, look!" Zhao Baishan jumped up and down in anger. "Uncle, look at them!"

"Hmph!" He Ming said with a sinister expression, "Gentlemen, look at these people. Not only are they beating people in the street, but they are also coming here with a straight face, treating the laws of our Great Tang Dynasty as nothing."

"I implore you two to uphold justice and give my nephew the due process."

"Fairness?" Cheng Chumo burst into laughter. "Fairness my ass! You think bringing two minor officials here will scare me?"

"You dare to try and steal our business, attempting to force a sale? Don't think you're just a dog kept by the Pei family; even if Pei Ji himself came, what could he do?"

Tang Heshang said disdainfully, "Duke of Wei? What a show of power! Anyone who didn't know better would think that the Tang Dynasty was ruled by the Pei family. They just rob whatever they want in Chang'an."

"Give you justice? What a joke!"

These words startled the two officials who were about to speak, as well as He Ming.

He Ming immediately realized that they were probably wrong. These three teenagers were definitely not just people with a minor background, as they had thought.

This is a serious matter.

Chen Huai'an finally figured it out from the crowd.

That fat man, Zhao Baishan, is not Pei Ji's nephew, but He Ming, who appears to be Pei Ji's retainer's nephew.

This made him think of some interesting things.

Chen Huai'an originally intended to signal Cheng Chumo and the other two to make a move, but he didn't expect that Cheng Chumo and the other two would be even more ruthless than he thought.

"Why bother talking to them? They've come to cause trouble time and time again. Do they think we're made of clay?" Cheng Chumo was already itching to fight and shouted:

"Get them!"

"Wait!" He Ming said instinctively, "Who exactly are you?"

"I'm your grandfather!"

"I am a member of the Pei family!" He Ming roared in anger.

He thought that even if the other party had an extraordinary background, they would at least be somewhat wary of him, right?

Unexpectedly, the three men charged forward without the slightest hesitation, and Li Zhen grinned maliciously, "The Pei family?"

"I'm going to beat up the Pei family!"

"..."
