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

Chapter 11

"Your Majesty, this is the temporary government office in the horse market."

Shen Wan stretched out her jade hand and pointed.

Ye Chen frowned slightly.

This temporary yamen was just a few straw mats supported by a bamboo pole, with several yamen runners standing outside and a table inside.

Extremely crude.

"Is this the government office in Mashi?"

Ye Chen frowned, somewhat unable to believe it.

“It’s definitely here.”

Shen Wanmei's eyes also flashed with surprise, and she said.

"Where is Du Min?"

Seeing that there was no one under the bamboo shed, Ye Chen asked.

"His Majesty."

"Wan'er, don't call me Your Majesty here. Call me Young Master."

Ye Chen suddenly said to Shen Wan.

Shen Wan was slightly stunned and opened her eyes to look at Ye Chen.

"What's the matter? I'm traveling incognito now. Do you think I can reveal my identity so easily? And I'm the young master now. Can I still call you by your name?"

Ye Chen came closer and whispered.

Shen Wan only felt a masculine breath coming towards her, her heart trembled violently, and she couldn't help but take a step back, feeling offended.

But what Ye Chen said does make sense.

Is there any young master who calls his servant by his name?

"Master, you can call me whatever you want."

Shen Wan sighed softly and compromised, "But Master, don't get so close. After all, there are differences between men and women."

"hehe."

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile, but his eyes were a little straight.

It's rare for a cool and aloof queen like Shen Wan to show a helpless look, which is a different kind of beauty.

It's so pretty.

Su Jiao is domineering and noble, while Shen Wan is cold and unworldly. They are both equally beautiful and both are the most beautiful women Ye Chen has ever seen in his two lifetimes.

Those stars in their previous lives were not even worthy of carrying shoes for these two women.

"Master, Du Min may be inspecting the horse farm now and will come back here later."

Seeing Ye Chen staring at her, Shen Wan felt a little uncomfortable and said.

"Oh, then I won't wait here anymore. Let's go to the horse market first."

Ye Chen thought about it and said.

Shen Wan nodded.

Ye Chen followed Shen Wan to visit the horse market.

The horse market doesn't just sell horses, it also sells donkeys, mules, cows, sheep, and even pigs.

The horse market was quite large. In addition to many vendors, there were also slaves and many farmers who came to choose livestock. Of course, there was no shortage of well-dressed people who were either rich or noble.

Ye Chen even saw many barbarians whose clothes and accents were very different from those of the Central Plains people.

"Du Min is quite capable of managing this place in such an orderly manner."

As Ye Chen looked along, he felt that the Ma City was a mixed bag.

It is definitely not easy to manage a place like this.

This Du Min is definitely a great talent.

Ye Chen became more and more certain in his heart.

Just when he was halfway through the horse market and was about to go back, he suddenly heard a noise in front of him.

He was slightly stunned, then immediately walked over and found that the place where the noise came from was already crowded with people watching.

Without Ye Chen's order, the guards who had already disguised themselves as ordinary people quickly stepped forward and forced their way out.

When Ye Chen got closer, he found that two groups of people were confronting each other.

To be precise, it was one person confronting a group of people.

Among that group of people, Ye Chen saw several familiar faces.

Isn't this the person in the carriage on the road before?

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. This was really fate.

"You bunch of peasants, you dare to take money from this young master?!"

"Who do you think you are?!"

"Do you know who this young master is?!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Among those familiar faces, he saw a man dressed in brocade and satin, looking rich and luxurious.

Good guy.

It’s really crazy.

Is this the dandy in ancient times?

"This is my horse, are you trying to rob it?!"

Confronting the dandy and his lackeys, a middle-aged man with many patches on his clothes tightly gripped the hilt of the knife at his waist, his face looking rather grim.

The other side had a lot of people and he was clearly at a disadvantage, but he had no intention of backing down.

There are several horses behind him, all of which look quite majestic.

"Robbing you means I think highly of you!"

"Fuck me!"

The dude was very arrogant and shouted.

At his command, his lackeys rushed forward with sticks, swords and knives.

I saw that the man in the middle was about to be beaten up by a group of people.

Ye Chen frowned slightly and was about to speak.

"stop!"

A slightly hunched middle-aged scholar suddenly appeared.

The scholar was wearing official uniform and was accompanied by two yamen runners.

"I am the Minister of Revenue, ordered to inspect the horse market. Why are you causing trouble?"

The scholar wore a tall crown, had a thin figure, and ordinary appearance, but his eyes were very bright. Seeing the official coming out, the playboy was actually happy and said with a smile: "Hey, Minister Du, you came at the right time. Someone wanted to steal my horse. Please help me get justice!"

"Nonsense, you stole it from me!"

The middle-aged man spat.

"Huh, you're so poor you don't even have a piece of good clothing, how can you have such a good horse?!"

The dandy sneered and said.

His shamelessness also refreshed Ye Chen's three views.

Ye Chen was more concerned about the middle-aged scholar, the Minister of Revenue who was in charge of the horse market. This scholar must be Du Min.

He also wanted to see how Du Min would handle this matter.

At this moment, Du Min's face darkened. He looked at the dandy and said, "Mr. Li, whether someone stole your horse or not, I will not make a conclusion for now. I will make a judgment after collecting evidence."

"What evidence do you need? I'm surrounded by witnesses! What's my status? How can a mere minister like you control me?"

Seeing that Du Min didn't speak to him, the dandy Li Ze snorted lightly, then arrogantly waved his hand and roared, "Come on, Master! Take my horse back! Anyone who dares to stop me will have his legs broken!"

Li Ze's lackeys stepped forward again.

"Stop it, officer!"

Du Min was furious, but unexpectedly several lackeys came towards him with sticks.

"Do you still have any law?!"

Du Min faced the lackey who was rushing towards him, without fear, and roared.

"The king's law? How can the king's law control me? My words are the king's law!"

Li Ze raised his head, looking extremely arrogant and proud.

At this time, although everyone watching had angry expressions on their faces, no one dared to stand up.

This was obviously not the first time that Li Ze had done evil, and the onlookers were afraid of provoking this evil star.

Just when Li Ze was about to succeed.

"I'm truly ignorant. Who are you? How dare you say that even the law can't control you?!"

There was a roar that was deafening.

Everyone present was shocked.

All of Li Ze's lackeys were stunned.

Li Ze also turned around in surprise and saw Ye Chen striding out.

But his gaze quickly moved to Ye Chen and stopped on Shen Wan.

A look of surprise quickly appeared on Li Ze's face.

Then, his tone became sinister, and he looked at Ye Chen and said, "Boy, my father is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a third-rank official. Who are you?!"

As Li Ze spoke, he winked at the person next to him.

The few lackeys around him understood and quickly stepped forward to surround Ye Chen and Shen Wan.
