Chapter 382: Ruffians making trouble? Settled instantly!
Lin Ziyun reluctantly ate a few bites of the food the tenants were eating. The rough texture and strange taste made him frown.
Every swallow was extremely difficult.
However, while this was hard to swallow, he also deeply felt the hardships of the people's lives.
This also strengthened his determination to defeat Yang Dechang.
Ye Chen ate a few bites and stopped because he really couldn't eat anymore.
But he still asked Shen Qiu to bring him food from middle-class families in the capital.
After Ye Chen finished his meal, Shen Qiu came to tell him that there was no one queuing anymore.
So, Ye Chen waved his hand.
"I'm going to Tong's fish shop."
The carriage immediately turned and headed towards Tong's Fish Shop.
When the carriage just stopped at the door of the fish shop, Ye Chen opened the curtains and was surprised to find that the tables in the fish shop were set up on the street.
The scene was very lively.
It was really crowded and the seats were packed.
At a few tables near the door, several scholars were chatting in low voices and clinking glasses.
A little further in, several diners who looked like businessmen sat opposite each other, discussing business loudly, and occasionally taking a bite, all with an intoxicated look on their faces.
In the corner, several families, young and old, sat together. The children scrambled to taste the delicacies on the plates, while the elders looked at them with loving faces, reminding them from time to time to eat slowly.
The entire fish shop was filled with laughter, noisy conversations, and the clinking of cups and plates.
Business is extremely hot.
Ye Chen soon saw Tong Le, a girl with the temperament of a beautiful girl next door, now dressed as a waitress, constantly serving dishes and moving between the tables like a nimble butterfly.
She didn't wear any makeup, but her pretty face couldn't be concealed. Her face was covered in sweat, but her smile was very sweet.
Mo Rou, this mature woman, has a gentle personality, but she also works hard to help and is busy all the time.
Seeing that the two women were so busy, Ye Chen decided to wait on the side and asked someone to park the carriage on the side of the road.
But at this moment, Ye Chen suddenly heard a sharp quarrel.
He was slightly stunned, and when he looked carefully, he saw two people at a table, banging their hands on the table and shouting loudly.
"How can I eat this meal? There's a fly in it! Your restaurant is so dirty!"
One of them, a rat-looking guy, shouted at the top of his voice.
Another person, with a sly look in his eyes, echoed, "Exactly! This is simply disgusting. How can I eat this meal? You need to give me an explanation!"
Tong Le rushed over after hearing the noise. After seeing the two people clearly, his face turned unhappy. He said, "You two, this is not the first time you have come to cause trouble. I can give up the money for this meal, but don't even think about compensation!"
Upon hearing this, their faces darkened at the same time, and they were about to explode.
Mo Rou hurried over and said gently, "My dear guests, please don't be angry. This meal is our treat. We are willing to give you some compensation. We just hope you don't ruin our restaurant's reputation."
After saying this, he also gave some copper coins.
Unexpectedly, the two ruffians became even more furious when they saw this. One of them suddenly drew the knife from his waist and chopped it on the table.
"Damn it! This is just to get rid of beggars!"
Seeing the other party draw his knife.
Many guests were horrified and fled away.
Mo Rou and Tong Le were obviously not expecting this to happen, and they were both frightened.
Seeing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly and his eyes immediately became sharp.
He also didn't expect that two hooligans would be so shameless in broad daylight.
However, he also knew that in broad daylight, the two scoundrels refused to take the money and instead showed knives, which was most likely instigated by someone else.
But no matter who is behind this, Ye Chen will never allow them to succeed.
At this moment, the two ruffians had ferocious looks on their faces. One of them reached out to pull Tong Le, swearing at him.
"My dear lady, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about having a good life!"
Tong Le turned pale and struggled desperately, but she could not escape the brute force of the scoundrel.
The other scoundrel brandished a knife, pointed it at Mo Rou, and shouted viciously, "Eating this fly today has ruined my mood. I'm going to tear your shop apart today!"
Hearing this, Mo Rou panicked and stepped back repeatedly, her eyes full of fear.
Just as the scoundrel holding the knife was about to overturn the table, an angry shout suddenly rang out.
"You are so impudent!"
Sound like thunder!
The two ruffians were shocked and turned their heads to look at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was seen standing with his head held high, his posture like a pine tree, his eyes piercing with energy, like two cold rays shooting straight at him.
At this moment, he was dressed in a gorgeous robe, and the aura he exuded was captivating and terrifying.
The two ruffians were frightened for a moment. Their hands holding the knives trembled slightly, and their hearts were full of doubt. They didn't understand who Ye Chen was. They were doubtful, but did not dare to act rashly.
As soon as Tong Le and Mo Rou saw Ye Chen, they immediately looked happy as if they had seen a savior.
The two girls ran over quickly, and Tong Le even shouted, "Brother Ye!"
Ye Chen nodded to the two women, then looked at the two ruffians fiercely and approached step by step.
He looked stern, then waved his hand.
"Do it!"
Ye Chen just finished speaking.
The two imperial guards who had been pretending to be civilians immediately jumped up.
One of them flew forward and kicked the table in front of the two hooligans with great force.
The other man attacked like lightning, instantly knocking the weapons out of the hands of the two hooligans.
Then, the two imperial guards kicked the two ruffians to the ground with lightning speed, drew their swords and pressed them against their necks, completely subduing them.
This sudden scene shocked the entire audience!
The people watching the excitement around gasped and widened their eyes, shocked by the fierce methods of the imperial guards.
For a moment, there was complete silence all around.
When the two scoundrels were subdued, they turned pale with fear and begged for mercy: "Sir, please spare our lives, please spare our lives!"
"Tell me, who sent you here?"
Ye Chen walked up to the two ruffians and asked with a cold look in his eyes.
"Yes, it was Manager Liu from Yingguilou. He gave us ten taels of silver to come here and cause trouble."
These two ruffians are scoundrels and have no strong minds.
At this moment, the two men had knives at their necks, but they were so scared that they turned pale and told everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
Ye Chen snorted coldly and ordered his men to take the two scoundrels away.
Yingguilou was the largest restaurant in the entire capital, and the owner was a small person with irrefutable evidence of his guilt.
Ye Chen sent the imperial guards to capture him, and it was very simple to kill him or punish him.
"Ye, Brother Ye, thank you for your help today. If it weren't for you, my sister-in-law and I would be in trouble."
Tong Le came to Ye Chen and looked at him with admiration in his eyes.
"Master Ye."
Mo Rou also came to Ye Chen, bit her lips hard, and looked at Ye Chen with a complicated look.
She was a woman and Tong Le's elder, but she had no way to deal with these hooligans.
She also wants to have someone to rely on.
However, Tong Le also likes Ye Chen.
So, she could only bury her feelings for Ye Chen in her heart.
