Chapter Seventy-Eight: The First Gambling House!
"The eldest prince came early!" Yan Rong said.
After Yan Rong came back from the Yan Mansion, he went straight to the teahouse that Nangong Yu had made an appointment, but he didn't think about it, Rong Zhi was also appearing here.
"It's General Yan who is late, Rong Zhi has been here with the prince for a long time!" Rong Zhi said with a smile.
"I originally made an appointment with the prince, but something happened at home and delayed the time, and I hope the eldest prince will forgive me." Yan Rong said pretendically, and while saluting, he observed what Rong Zhi was wearing.
"Yes, if it weren't for Rong Zhi receiving the holy decree, he didn't know that he was going to investigate the case with the general and the prince, so he was nervous, so he came to walk on the street, but he didn't expect to meet the prince, the prince said that he was waiting for General Yan, now it's okay, we can finally get together." Rong Zhi hurriedly helped him up and said.
Yan Rong heard that Rong Zhi was blaming himself and Nangong Yu for not telling him that he was going to get together today. But so what, I didn't think about checking people so quickly today, since Rong Zhi came, it couldn't be in vain!
"Rong Gongzi, the emperor's decree is not clear, let's not be in a hurry today, discuss and discuss before we do it." Yan Rong said after not seeing anything wrong.
"Okay." Rong Zhi should come down.
"Xiao Rong is in a hurry today, it's okay!" Nangong Yu asked.
"Nope." Yan Rong shook his head and said.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Yan are so familiar?" Rong Zhi asked.
"You may not know that when Xiaorong returned to Beijing, you happened to leave, so you don't know that Xiaorong and I met when we were young, and our relationship is naturally better than others." Nangong Yu said.
"Then, it's better than Prince Rong?" Rong Zhi continued to ask.
"Young Master Rong, what do you mean by this? I can't tolerate any other person's gossip between me and my husband! Yan Rong said.
"It's Rong Zhi who is offended, but I just think that in Rong Zhi's eyes, what can be done with the general will not be like Rong Wangye!" Rong Zhi said.
"Young Master Rong, who is Prince Rong, I'm afraid you're going to overstep the rules, I still remember that you had a dispute with Ah Li at that time, and it's still not good, do you want to deepen this misunderstanding?" Nangong Yu said.
"Yes, I was reckless, and I shouldn't have speculated." Rong Zhi said with some embarrassment.
"What accessories does Young Master Rong usually wear?" Yan Rong asked suddenly.
"Accessories? That's all I usually wear. Rong Zhi said with a questioning face.
"It's okay, I just think this purse on your body is quite chic." Yan Rong said.
"This one, this is made by my mother, and I have always worn it." Rong Zhi shook his purse and said.
"It turned out to be made by the prime minister's wife, and it was really exquisite." Yan Rong said.
Rong Zhi nodded slightly hesitantly.
"How are we going to investigate?" Rong Zhi raised his face and asked.
"Naturally, it is door-to-door, starting with these shops in the capital, presumably the officials should have their own shop fronts more or less, as long as they pay enough silver taels to worship every year, they will naturally be safe, and they are afraid that some backers will be harder, deceive the court, and humiliate the people, this is the goal we need to grasp." Yan Rong said.
"Just doing this, I always feel a little startled when I go to search the store for no reason, so I observe it secretly, and then I will catch it all when I have a certain eyebrow." Nangong Yu added.
"Yes." Yan Rong and Nangong Yu sang and harmonized, and Rong Zhi could only listen to it and couldn't interject.
"Do you have any ideas?" Yan Rong asked.
"The general thinks really well, but the emperor said in front of the civil and military officials to investigate this matter, hasn't it already been made public, even if there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I think they may not dare to have in this capital, I am afraid that far away from the poor countryside of the capital, there is not much oil and water, who doesn't want to be greedy." Rong Zhi said.
"Rong Gongzi is worthy of being a person who has been outside for many years, and he knows the lives of the people well, but the far water can't save the near fire, even if we have the heart, we are powerless." Yan Rong said.
"I don't dare to be, I just saw that those people were really miserable, I didn't expect such a thing to happen in this prosperous world, it's really ......" Rong Zhi thought for a while and said.
"There are many people in the world, even if one party is taken into account and the other party is in calamity, even if you and I have the ability to go through the sky, we can't save the world. Yin Cao Wa Building. Yan Rong sighed.
"The general is a person who cares about the world, and presumably His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the same." Rong Zhi said with a smile.
"The world, what is the world? It's just a home for everyone. Nangong Yu stood up and said with his hands behind his back.
"Yes." Rong Zhi nodded.
"Then let's start with the first gambling house tomorrow, there are a lot of mixed fish and dragons, and I think you can find out a lot of things." Nangong Yu said.
"Okay, the first gambling house, I don't know if Prince Rong has ever been there?" Yan Rong asked.
"No, I've never been to a place like a gambling house, a group of people gambled desperately, and finally ended up with a broken family, what does it mean?" Rong Zhi said with a look of disdain.
"That's not necessarily, it's not just luck that gambles, but also guts, people who can survive in the gambling house for a long time are not a simple person, Daqi does not control gambling, but it does not mean that they can act recklessly." Yan Rong said.
"The person behind the first gambling house is just a down-and-out rich man, because he likes to touch the dice since he was a child, so he started from scratch, and then I don't know how to get better and better, and it has become the first gambling house now. Although the imperial court has also secretly investigated, it can't find out the identity of this person, if this is the case, then this person's ability is still excellent. Nangong Yu said.
"The First Casino." Yan Rong thought that the military advisor had mentioned to him in passing, there were a lot of weird things in the gambling house, and who was doing the ghost must be found out.
"Then tomorrow we will go to the gambling house to investigate." Nangong Yu said.
The two nodded.
"Young Master Rong stays." Nangong Yu had already left, and when Rong Zhi had already said goodbye to Yan Rong and was about to get on the horse and leave, Yan Rong suddenly shouted.
"Is there something going on with the general?" Rong Zhi asked.
"Childe also knows that Miss Jingman and I in the house know each other, and it is also because of a little misunderstanding, so I want to visit in person, I don't know if I can go all the way?" Yan Rong said.
Fang Yue is right, Rong Jingman's letter and sachet should be investigated clearly, go in a high-profile manner, and catch Rong Jingman off guard, this matter will be easy to do.
"The general is coming to the house?" Rong Zhi asked.
"Was it too much of a rush?" Yan Rong asked.
"No, it's just that I didn't react a little, it's just that Jingman is just a child's temper, if she has anything to say disrespectfully, I hope the general won't mind." Rong Zhi said.
"Young Master Rong doesn't want me to enter the mansion?" Yan Rong continued to ask.
"It is an honor for the general to come to Fuzhong, so he naturally welcomes him sincerely, and the general invites me." Rong Zhi made a gesture of invitation and said.
"There's a big boy Lao." Yan Rong got on the horse directly and left with Rong Zhi.
Rongwang's Mansion
"You, go and see Yan Mansion, why is it that Yan Rong hasn't come back yet." Nangong Li walked around the lobby, and finally commanded someone to speak.
"Don't worry, I'm used to it, you haven't gotten used to it, if Yanrong goes out, can you wait until she can come back during the day?" Nangong Xi walked over and said.
"Auntie, no, my nephew is just a little worried." Nangong Li said.
"What are you worried about, or worry about yourself, or what your aunt said, your aunt can lower her standards for appearance, but you also have to promise your aunt that there can't be only one woman in this Rong Palace." Nangong Xi said.
"Auntie, let's talk about it in a while, isn't it good for my nephew to spend more time with my aunt now?" Nangong Li said.
"It's important to accompany me, the important thing is that my aunt is bored, when can you add a little grandson to my aunt, so that this aunt is not lonely!" Nangong Xi said again.
"Yan Rong is very busy during this time, and he will have a good time." Nangong Li said with a little red face.
"Don't think I don't know, you two are sleeping in separate rooms, so how can I hold my grandson!" Nangong Xi said.
"That's because my nephew didn't know Yan Yan well enough, so he wanted to sleep separately for a while, just not to disturb each other."
"Li'er, don't force yourself, you sleep alone, where is there a woman to take care of you, you must remember what your aunt said." Nangong Xi still said uneasily.
"Yes, auntie. '
"Li'er, do you know that you have changed a little, is it that your aunt is taking care of you too tightly these days?" Nangong Xi shook Nangong Li's shoulder and asked.
"Without my aunt, my nephew hasn't changed much!" Nangong Li said with a smile.
"In the nephew's heart, my aunt is the person my nephew respects the most, Li Er has never been loved since she was a child, her father's partiality, her mother's absence, it is my aunt who gave Li Er the best love, everything delicious and useful is kept for Li Er, aunt, I just want to accompany you well." Nangong Li said.
"Good boy, my aunt knows that your child is the most likable, you were still young at that time, and I just lost my husband, those children all heard from the people in the palace that I killed my husband, and they all stayed away from me, only you hugged me, from that time, my aunt decided to treat you as my own child, my aunt has no children, Li'er, you are my aunt's only child." Nangong Xi also said excitedly.
"Auntie." Nangong Li choked up a little.
"Okay, my aunt won't tell you more, the soup cooked for you and Yanrong is still simmering on the stove, my aunt will go and take a look."
"Yes, aunt."
"Lord Wang, the minion is back." After Nangong Li sent his aunt away, he waited in the lobby for a while, and the person who ordered him had returned.
"How? Is it still in Yan's house? ”
"No, the Yan family said that the general had left a long time ago, and the little one didn't know where the general went." The man said.
"I was worried here, but she ran away." Nangong Li said.
"Lord Wang, I seem to have seen the figure of the general again when I came on the road, but I don't feel like it." The man slurped.
"What do you mean by that, what do you mean by yes and no, make it clear."
"General, no, the back of the general is with the Prime Minister's Mansion Rong Dagongzi, and it is going in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so the small feeling should not be the general." The man said in a trembling voice.
"Rongzhi?"
