Chapter 52: The City Lord's Order

The next morning, the whole Liangcheng was lively, and the city guards began to patrol the interior of Liangcheng with people, even the ordinary people of Liangcheng felt that something was wrong!

At the entrances to the various streets, there were men of the Protector who posted notices on some of the walls.

And some people also looked around the notice.

"The city lord ordered, gambling is prevalent in Liangcheng now, but according to the laws of the Great Zhou, gambling is not only illegal, but also hurts people's lives!"

"Starting today, the city guards will start to seal down the casino, but whoever reports it, the first whistleblower, after the seizure of the casino, can get one-tenth of the casino's finances!"

"And if a casino is found in the house, the owner of the house will be punished as the crime of setting up a private casino!"

"However, if the owner of the house reports it, he will not be blamed for the past!"

"Gambling is not shallow to others, and those who win money go to the scene day and night; those who lose money come back desperately, regardless of hunger and cold; they are constantly consumed and exhausted. In the long run, uncontrollable and pathological gambling will inevitably damage your health, and even commit suicide and murder.

"Even if the wife is separated, the bad heart, the loss of conduct, the destruction of the future, and the loss of life!"

"Look at the people of Liangcheng City, stay away from gambling!"

In Liangcheng, not everyone is literate, so some people read the new city lord's decree under the notice, and suddenly, the people all applauded.

Most of the people hate this gambling word, what is written on this notice, but anyone who has a gambling addiction in the family has basically experienced these things.

So for this order of the city lord, of course, they are supportive.

But some people are not happy!

After Shengtian, Ye Bai and Ye Cang and others were seized in Shengtian Casino, someone came to them!

"Yefu City Lord, this gambling ban, but you proposed it to the City Lord?"

A middle-aged man dressed in Confucian clothes came to Ye Cang, first arched his hand at Ye Cang, and then spoke.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zhu, that's right, this city lord's order is indeed proposed by me!"

This Confucian is the dean of a academy in Liangcheng, who enlightens and teaches some children who live relatively well-to-do, because his surname is Zhu, so in Liangcheng, most people call him Mr. Zhu.

Even Ye Cang is the same, in the Great Zhou, although the status of the martial artist is high, but the status of this Confucian is not low, and there may not be anything to see in Liangcheng, but the officials in this capital are basically both civil and military, so the status of this Confucian is not low.

Basically, within three years of the Great Zhou, an assessment will be held to select some ordinary civil officials for the Great Zhou, most of whom were born in Confucianism.

The most important thing is that although this Confucian is a title, they can also practice martial arts, that is to say, this Confucian is all martial artists, but this martial artist is not necessarily a Confucian student, and the others can only be called scholars.

It's just that the people in Yan Province have a relatively hot temper, and Confucianism is not very prevalent, so in the entire Liangcheng, there is only this Mr. Zhu, who can be called Confucianism.

"I know that Deputy City Lord Ye and the Blood Shadow Gang don't deal with each other, but if you act like this, are you too impatient, aren't you afraid that the Blood Shadow Gang will retaliate against the city protectors in anger!"

Hearing this, Ye Bai understood, this so-called Mr. Zhu is also a person who profits, and with that order, there is no way to open a casino in this Liangcheng.

If this casino can't be opened, the income of the Blood Shadow Gang will be reduced, and with this reduction, the benefits of the Blood Shadow Gang to these people will naturally be less, and other families have their own businesses, maybe they don't care very much about them, or they don't want to fight against Ye Fu for those things, but those money may be a huge amount of money for this gentleman surnamed Zhu, so for these, he came to Ye Cang first.

Ye Bai knew that this guy might just be the first, and there would be people coming to them one after another, not only them, but I am afraid that there were also people from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Mr. Zhu laughed, this prohibition of gambling is originally the law of our country, if they are honest, then forget it, if they dare to resist, we will naturally report it, even if he is convicted of rebellion, I don't think it is too much!"

"I can't say it, I can also wipe them all out in one fell swoop, so that I can also eliminate a big harm for my Liangcheng!"

"Mr. Zhu, you say, are they powerful, or am I Da Zhou Qiang!"

Mr. Zhu's face was straight, his hands arched in mid-air, and said: "This is naturally my Great Zhou Qiang, if they dare to resist, they can indeed be convicted of rebellion, so it is so, Lord Ye, since this is the case, then I will not ask about this matter anymore!"

"I just hope that nothing will happen to your Ye Mansion during this time!"

"Hmph, farewell!"

Mr. Zhu snorted coldly, waved his hem, and then strode away directly.

He came here to warn Ye Cang, but the words Ye Bai said made him understand that this Ye Mansion was determined to ban gambling, and even those who dared to resist could say that they were guilty of treason, so at this moment, he didn't plan to participate in this matter anymore.

Although the money given to him by this Blood Shadow Gang is too much, it is not so much that he can desperately help!

If he was able to come forward, he was already worthy of the benefits given to him by the Blood Shadow Gang, and as for the rest, it depended on the methods of the other people.

"This is the first one!"

"It's just that I never thought that this Mr. Zhu would also profit from Shengtian!"

Ye Cang sighed, when they were talking about this matter yesterday, they knew that they would encounter many people during the execution, but they didn't expect to come so soon, and it was Mr. Zhu, who was very famous in Liangcheng.

"Yes, I think back then, I was also enlightened in his academy, but I never thought that this Mr. Zhu would be in the same league with the people of the Blood Shadow Gang!"

Ye Bai nodded, as the so-called knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, this Mr. Zhu looks gentle and elegant, but secretly colludes with the people of the Blood Shadow Gang, which is really unexpected by him.

"I feel more and more that the person behind this Blood Shadow Gang is not my uncle!"

Ye Bai's eyes flashed, and the appearance of Mr. Zhu made him feel a trace of doubt in his heart, if the person behind this Blood Shadow Gang was his uncle, then the Blood Shadow Gang didn't need to curry favor with these forces in Liangcheng at all.

But the reality is that this Blood Shadow Gang not only curryed favor with other forces, but even this Confucian student who opened the academy was also bought.

"Is it your uncle, after a while, he will naturally understand, I think it won't be long before he may come to this Liangcheng in person!"

Ye Cang snorted coldly, if he didn't guess wrong, it should be his brother-in-law who greeted the envoys of the two countries this time!
