I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 170: I have already installed everything for the emperor passing by. What is this? (Please subscribe and vote)
Jiang Rong thought, if it was true as her mother said, then if I was favored by His Majesty, wouldn’t that be a win for me?
Besides, his biggest crisis now is being suppressed by the Chamber of Commerce.

Even if the city lord can help me get justice tomorrow, what about the follow-up?

The Chamber of Commerce and other families will unite to suppress the Jiang family, or take revenge.

Jiang Rong thought about it carefully and realized that the reason why the Chamber of Commerce's president Zhang Wanshan could bully her so much was because he had the governor behind him.

The prefect is a person who holds great power in a region and is a giant that ordinary merchant families like hers dare not offend.

But the problem is that they can't afford to offend the prefect, and they are just dogs in front of His Majesty.

As long as she has the favor of His Majesty, no one would dare to bully her.

Besides, my mother is now involved in the trouble of communicating with monsters and is being targeted by the city supervisor.

How terrifying is the new city supervisor? He is the emperor's confidant. Just relying on this relationship, the city supervisor is very powerful in the imperial capital, not to mention Shanghe City.

The reason is that I have received care from Your Majesty.

Now that His Majesty is by my side, I can ask His Majesty to take care of me. This is reasonable.

Moreover, Jiang Rong has also seen Li Chen's appearance. It is a lie to say that women are not lustful. It's just that you are not good-looking enough to make her lustful.

When they were chatting just now, the way Jiang Rong looked at Li Chen was so sad that she didn't even notice it.

Now that her mother was talking about the imperial concubine, Jiang Rong was very excited and her heart was beating fast.

No matter how you think about it, it would be a great deal if I became an imperial concubine.

My mother also said that there might only be one chance.

Just as Xie Minjun was about to continue to persuade her, Jiang Rong said, "Then I'll listen to my mother and try it after I change my clothes! But if His Majesty doesn't like me, I can't do anything about it."

Hearing this, Xie Minjun smiled with relief.

As a mother, she was embarrassed to do such a thing. But seeing that her daughter was not only not opposed to it, but seemed to like it, that couldn't be better.

As for what kind of women Li Chen likes and what his hobbies are, Xie Minjun knows it very well.

"Don't worry, if you think about it this way, if His Majesty doesn't like you, why would he talk to you so much?"

Jiang Rong felt much more relieved after hearing her mother's words.

After changing clothes, Jiang Rong, accompanied by her mother, came to Li Chen's room.

Jiang Rong understood that she could have her mother's company.

She is indeed very shy and has difficulty talking about many things.

After receiving guidance from her mother, Jiang Rong could understand it even though she felt embarrassed.

But in the end, Jiang Rong found it hard to understand why her mother also stayed!
The next morning, Jiang Rong still had things to do and couldn't bear the pressure, so she left the Jiang Mansion first.

In Jiang Rong's opinion, with the help of City Lord Ding Tianming this morning, there would be no big problem.

When you need Li Chen, ask Li Chen to come out and help.

There's no need to bother Li Chen to solve such a small matter. She wants to save her reputation on her own!

When Jiang Rong arrived at the shop, Lin Mo had been waiting there for a long time.

He knew that Jiang Rong was deceived by Ding Tianming, but he didn't say it directly.

He has to wait until Jiang Rong is bullied in various ways before he can come to the rescue, only then can he show his ability.

Seeing Jiang Rong appear, Lin Mo immediately stepped forward to greet her: "Good morning, Miss. Hey, Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Mo noticed that there was something wrong with Jiang Rong's walking posture.

Jiang Rong immediately waved her hands and said, "I caught a cold last night, my stomach was upset, and I fell down, but it's not a big deal."

She couldn't possibly tell the truth.

Lin Rong thought that the Jiang family was full of women, and Jiang Rong was not a casual woman, so he didn't think much about it.

At the same time, Jiang Mansion.

As soon as Li Chen walked out of the room, he heard noisy sounds outside.

It seemed that some soldiers were rushing in, and the maids in the Jiang Mansion did not dare to stop them.

Seeing the surging soldiers, the beautiful woman Jiang Ningyue and the young wife Dong Zhiqing, who were preparing breakfast, were both frightened.

Especially Lin Yue'e's official authority, that powerful aura, and that expression of "keep away from strangers" can naturally scare ordinary people.

After learning where Xie Minjun was from Jiang Ningyue, Lin Yue'e went to the backyard to catch her.

As soon as I walked to the backyard, I saw a familiar figure walking towards me.

Two aggressive soldiers next to Lin Yue'e were preparing to arrest someone and perform well in front of the new city supervisor.

As a result, when Lin Yue'e saw this person, she knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "I am Lin Yue'e, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

This scene made the officers and soldiers a little stunned, but Lin Yue'e was the emperor's confidant and had the emperor's badge, so she couldn't have made a mistake.

In an instant, everyone knelt down in the yard.

Even the maids just found out that Li Chen was the emperor.

Li Chen was a little confused. What happened?
I just rested for a few days in the Jiang family, and the women in the Jiang family all volunteered. There's no need for you to bring people to arrest me, right?

"Everyone, get up. Why did you come to the Jiang family?"

Li Chen was very calm. He went to the hall to have breakfast while listening to Lin Yue'e's report.

When Lin Yue'e was reporting, Li Chen handed her some food, and she continued to report after eating.

This scene stunned everyone around.

The officers and soldiers thought to themselves: It seems that the City Supervisor is really a close confidant of His Majesty. This relationship is really extraordinary.

With the emperor present, they naturally stood upright.

When Li Chen had almost finished eating, he already knew what had happened.

There are two things.

First, this morning, someone took evidence to the city supervisor's office to accuse Jiang family's eldest wife, Xie Minjun, of colluding with a demon.

Secondly, also this morning, someone went to the City Supervisor's Office to report that the City Lord Ding Tianming and the Chamber of Commerce President Zhang Wanshan were in collusion and secretly dealing with the Jiang family.

Lin Yue'e thought that since Ding Tianming and Zhang Wanshan couldn't escape, she would come and arrest Xie Minjun first, and then go to the Chamber of Commerce to seek justice.

Lin Yue'e was not surprised to see Li Chen in Shanghe City, as they both started from the imperial capital.

I just didn’t expect to see Li Chen at the Jiang family.

But think about it, the Jiang family has a royal concubine, and they are indeed related to the royal family.

Li Chen also knew about Xie Minjun's affairs, and she took the initiative to explain it to Li Chen.

In fact, the final right of interpretation for this kind of thing still lies with Li Chen, and Li Chen can handle it however he wants.

Even Lin Yue'e could only stand obediently by the side.

At one side of the Jiang residence, Jiang Ningyue and Dong Zhiqing looked at Li Chen with great admiration.

Lin Yue'e, who has such a strong aura, is as obedient as a cat next to Li Chen.

Even though the two of them had never questioned Li Chen's identity, the aura that Li Chen displayed now was enough to scare countless people at the scene.

There are many people here, so Li Chen said, "I am already investigating Xie Minjun's connection with the demon. As for the Chamber of Commerce, I will go with you to take a look."

There is no doubt that Li Chen will favor the Jiang family. There is no problem with that. After all, the Jiang family either has the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law serving them seriously, or the mother and daughter are working hard to serve them.

Besides, what Xie Minjun did was understandable, and Li Chen would punish her severely when the time comes.

As for Jiang Rong, who was targeted by the City Lord and the Chamber of Commerce President, she was also Li Chen's new concubine.

Through Lin Yue'e's narration, Li Chen knew that the other side was completely bullying.

Coincidentally, Li Chen also likes to bully others by taking advantage of his power.

He just didn't believe that there was anyone more powerful than himself in this country.

Hearing what Li Chen said, Lin Yue'e immediately took people to accompany Li Chen to leave the Jiang family and go to the Chamber of Commerce.

Li Chen said that he would accompany Lin Yue'e to take a look, but Lin Yue'e was not stupid enough to think that Li Chen was just planning to accompany her.

When the women in the Jiang family saw Li Chen leaving, they felt extremely safe.

In their opinion, there is no problem that this man cannot solve.

All dangerous troubles disappeared in front of Li Chen.

While Xie Minjun was still sighing, Jiang Ningyue and Dong Zhiqing were discussing how to serve Li Chen tonight, and soon, Xie Minjun also joined the topic.

Even the imperial concubine Wu Nanzhi next to her thought: With the mobility of the Jiang family women, it's no wonder that His Majesty can take care of them.

In the luxurious area of ​​Shanghe City, there is a magnificent building, which is the Chamber of Commerce of Shanghe City.

Being located in this place, it can be seen that the commercial development of Shanghe City is still very good.

When Li Chen arrived here, he heard a commotion inside before he entered.

In the Chamber of Commerce hall, Jiang Rong was also very angry.

She had clearly seen with her own eyes yesterday that the Zhang family's warehouse was storing the silk raw materials that the Sun family was originally going to provide. But how come City Lord Ding said today that he had sent his men to check and they said the warehouse was empty and nothing was found? If Jiang Rong didn't believe it, she could take people to check it out now.

Now, no matter how dumb Jiang Rong was, she knew that they were in cahoots with each other!
If it were in the past, Jiang Rong would have been in despair.

But it’s different now. Jiang Rong looked at them viciously, thinking: Okay, you forced me to do this!
I was planning to reason with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was targeting!

Jiang Rong really doesn't like to bully others, but some people just bully her like this. Do you think I have no backing? What a joke, just wait!

Jiang Rong is going to invite Li Chen over now. When Li Chen gets here, he will see your faces!

But at this moment, a group of soldiers rushed in from outside.

When the entire Chamber of Commerce was at a loss, the officer and soldier at the front shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!"

In an instant, the entire area knelt down, and the voices of welcoming His Majesty resounded throughout the Chamber of Commerce.

Representatives from the various chambers of commerce could see a tall, extraordinary young man walking from the main gate into the parliament hall.

His appearance brought with it an extremely strong pressure, which made the people present almost bury their heads in the ground.

That terrifying aura was like a god descending to earth, and the heaven and earth trembled!

That’s right, Li Chen had obviously activated his meridians, and he was feeling the pressure of both the supreme imperial power and the saintly realm.

Bullying? I'm good at it.

You can't handle either of these two identities, let alone both of them together.

Following behind Li Chen was the new city supervisor Lin Yue'e.

These merchant families didn't even dare to offend Lin Yue'e, let alone the emperor Li Chen who existed before Lin Yue'e.

Most people at the scene didn’t know why the new emperor Li Chen came here.

The moment she saw Li Chen, Jiang Rong's happiness almost overflowed. It was simply what she wished for. This time she really got the upper hand!

Fortunately, I listened to my mother's advice, otherwise I would be in trouble today!
Lin Mo next to him was very surprised. This was totally beyond his expectation.

According to the script he had thought of, Jiang Rong must be very desperate now and don’t know what to do. The appearance of Lin Yue'e, the city supervisor, will definitely be a problem. The next step is for me, Lin Mo, and the city supervisor to cooperate and show off my skills. The problem is why did the emperor come?
Li Chen walked directly to the Chamber of Commerce's main seat and sat down, which was very reasonable.

"Everyone, please get up. I am going on a tour incognito today. You guys continue chatting while I join in the fun."

He spoke casually, not taking the place seriously.

Given Li Chen's identity, he really doesn't need to care too much.

The emperor suddenly came to the Chamber of Commerce hall, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.

When Shanghe City Lord Ding Tianming and Shanghe City Chamber of Commerce President Zhang Wanshan were preparing to curry favor with Li Chen, Lin Yue'e said, "Everyone, this morning I received a report saying that City Lord Ding Tianming and Chamber of Commerce President Zhang Wanshan colluded with each other and joined forces with the Sun family to suppress the Jiang family, and that Ding Tianming abused his power and moved evidence privately."

As she spoke, Lin Yue'e waved her hand, and several soldiers walked in from outside the door.

They forced a few people into the Chamber of Commerce, along with some raw silk materials.

When Zhang Wanshan saw these people, he knew he was in trouble.

Because he was the one who arranged for the silk raw materials to be transported away yesterday.

The next second, Jiang Rong saw the true face of a businessman and his ability to change his attitude according to the situation.

The first person to speak was a chubby, smiling businessman.

He stood up and said righteously, "Ding Tianming and Zhang Wanshan usually rely on their power to bully small businesses like us. This time they even teamed up to suppress the Jiang family. This is really unreasonable! I hope His Majesty and the City Supervisor can make a decision for us!"

He was quick to react, remembering that the Jiang family had an imperial concubine named Jiang Ningyi.

After all, they are royal relatives. The emperor came here probably to support the Jiang family.

As soon as he said this, the people around him immediately began to express their attitudes.

Next came another businessman with a thin face and wearing a gorgeous robe.

There was a bit of indignation in his words, but more of it was a gesture of pretending to be righteous: "Your Majesty, Ding Tianming and Zhang Wanshan not only colluded with each other, but also abused their power and privately altered the evidence in an attempt to cover up their crimes. Now that the evidence is conclusive, I hope Your Majesty can punish them severely and set an example!"

The last person to stand up had a cunning appearance, but he said in a loud and powerful voice: "Your Majesty, Lord City Supervisor, although I am a businessman, I also understand the word morality. The behavior of Ding and Zhang is simply an insult to our merchant family! I hope that Your Majesty and Lord City Supervisor can seek justice for us victims!"

Hearing these words, Jiang Rong sneered inwardly.

I just talked for a long time, but no one paid any attention to me, and some even took advantage of my misfortune to tell me to stop making trouble.

How come you started to support me unconditionally as soon as Your Majesty arrived here?

And you three have the nerve to say these righteous words.

You have taken away a lot of my Jiang family’s assets in the past few years, right?

I'm afraid he saw that Your Majesty was here to support me, so he turned against me.

Otherwise, these people are just running dogs in front of Ding Tianming and Zhang Wanshan.

Now everyone in the Chamber of Commerce hall is looking at Li Chen, waiting for this supreme being to speak.

Li Chen yawned and said, "I just came to take a look, you can handle it yourself."

Li Chen was just here to scare people, so I don’t care about all that.

Anyway, I'm just sitting here and I'm asking you if you're afraid.

Since Li Chen had spoken, Lin Yue'e, as the most loyal subject, began to ask Jiang Rong for her opinion.

Seeing this, the group of businessmen became more and more convinced that the emperor must support the Jiang family.

Those who had just spoken well of the Jiang family and denounced Ding and Zhang all looked at Jiang Rong with pleading eyes.

However, Jiang Rong has not yet realized the expansion of power that comes with it. She just asked Lin Yue'e to handle the matter impartially and give justice to the Jiang family.

Because Jiang Rong originally felt that she was not wrong, and she accepted all the suppression she received. That’s how business works.

But they maliciously targeted me and failed to fulfill the contract. I found out myself that Mr. Ding was playing tricks on me! This is too much!

Jiang Rong just wanted to vent her anger.

Seeing that she said so, Lin Yue'e followed the normal procedure.

As an official, he was very familiar with this process and began to judge the results of the on-site investigation.

Ding Tianming abused his power and not only should he be removed from his position as city lord, he should also be fined and jailed, and be convicted based on subsequent investigations.

After hearing Lin Yue'e's verdict, Ding Tianming pleaded guilty without any intention of making excuses.

Given his strength, why didn't he resist?
This is very important. Ding Tianming feels that if he resists the emperor of the Saint Realm sitting there, he is just courting death!
His crime is actually not serious, because it did not cause any substantial harm. Not to mention violence, if he talked back, he would make His Majesty unhappy.

It's just a period of imprisonment anyway, it would be bad if it turned into a death sentence.

As for the Chamber of Commerce President Zhang Wanshan and the head of the Sun family, they will be subject to further investigation by the City Supervisor and punished according to the Chamber of Commerce's regulations.

They haven't committed any serious crime, it's just a business dispute, so just handle it normally.

Zhang Wanshan and the head of the Sun family knelt down to express their cooperation with the investigation, and apologized to Jiang Rong one by one.

Here, Zhang Wanshan and the head of the Sun family behaved very smartly.

If other business families were caught in such a commotion, they would definitely put the blame directly on Ding Tianming, saying that it was Ding Tianming who instructed them to do so.

In this way, the two of them will not be punished and all the blame will be placed on Ding Tianming.

But the problem is, their crimes are not serious, so they can just take the responsibility themselves.

If they offend Ding Tianming at this time, they will be in trouble when Ding Tianming is released.

There's no need to cause big trouble because of such a small thing.

If it is really a capital crime, these two will bite Ding Tianming to the death.

Just like that, the turmoil in the Chamber of Commerce was directly settled because of the appearance of Li Chen.

Now that Zhang Wanshan is definitely unable to become the president, some core members immediately suggested that Jiang Rong be elected as the new president.

Not only that, those merchant families who once swallowed up the Jiang family's assets returned the assets to Jiang Rong for various reasons, and also doubled the profits of the past few years.

Those who had no direct conflicts with the Jiang family began to curry favor with the Jiang family and discuss cooperation with Jiang Rong. Once a contract was signed, it would be for decades.

You can say that the character of representatives of merchant families is not very good, but their vision is good.

With Jiang Rong's appearance, it is not impossible for her to become an imperial concubine.

Instead of waiting until Jiang Rong deals a punishment to you, it is better to admit defeat now and try to please Jiang Rong.

As for why he wanted to please Jiang Rong instead of Li Chen?
It was because these people were too humble and did not even have the qualifications to please Li Chen.

Anyone who can serve as a dog for Li Chen is not an ordinary person.

So they could only try to please Jiang Rong in front of Li Chen to please Li Chen.

The person who felt the most uncomfortable at the scene was Lin Mo.

Because he failed to pretend to be cool!

Originally, today was his chance to shine in the Chamber of Commerce. All the arrangements were made so that he could stand out and win the favor of the beauty.

As a result, the emperor who passed by pretended to be powerful. What a situation!

And just now he noticed that the look in Jiang Rong's eyes when she looked at the emperor contained not only a hint of gratitude, but also endless joy.

This shows that Jiang Rong has a good impression of the emperor.

If the emperor took the opportunity to capture his goddess, he would be in trouble.

Lin Mo was thinking about how he could save the situation and prevent his goddess from being favored by the emperor.

Or he had to find a way to tell Jiang Rong that he was actually the one helping in this matter, not the emperor!
At this time, another group of people rushed in from the door.

This team looks fierce and their armor is majestic!

Everyone present was surprised. Who dared to disturb the Holy Chariot?
As a result, the leader rushed over and slid to his knees, kowtowed in front of Li Chen and said, "I am Zhang Zhishan, the governor of Shanghe City, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
