Chapter 37: The proprietor is a woman
Let Taiyuan Wang's get involved in gambling, an industry that can bring huge profits, this is probably Taiyuan Wang's report on Li's investment.
The existence of the five surnames and seven wangs is a major threat to the imperial power, and from the fact that they include various industries, you can get a glimpse of the leopard.
His father has always wanted to suppress the five surnames and seven hopes, so his son should naturally do something for him.
Looking at the light in Li Zhi's eyes, Li Chaoyun couldn't help but shudder, he couldn't imagine that Li Zhi, the prince who was only twelve years old, actually had such a powerful momentum on his body, what kind of monster did His Majesty give birth to.
"Master Li, it seems that I have caused you to do this, if you can't withstand their pressure, then reveal my identity to them."
Li Chaoyun and himself are heart-to-heart, Li Zhi naturally can't deliberately trick others.
Li Chaoyun shook his head and said: "Your Highness, you are underestimating me Li Chaoyun, I remind you that you are afraid that you will force them into a hurry, they will jump over the wall in a hurry, and the ministers will never reveal the identity of His Highness." ”
He knew that once Li Zhi's identity was revealed, these three great families would probably put pressure on His Majesty.
Although he is a disciple of the Li family of Zhaojun, he still has deep admiration for the eloquent and strategic Majesty Li Er, and he is willing to do something for such a majesty.
The monopoly of resources in all aspects is a serious threat to the imperial power, and there are many people within the family who can recognize this, and they have already taken action for this reason.
Almost every family with the five surnames and Qiwang is scattering some of their children among the people, allowing them to develop with their own abilities, in order to deal with possible blows from the imperial power.
On the other hand, they are also strengthening their influence in all aspects, hoping that the royal family will not attack them because of the rat trap.
Although Li Zhi's behavior of winning money in the gambling house is a personal act, the three major families may not think so, they will think that this is a challenge to them by the royal family.
For this reason, they will definitely twist into a rope to deal with Li Zhi, even if Li Zhi is the prince, they cannot tolerate Li Zhi making waves in the industry that belongs to them.
"Master Li, the gambling house is open for business, just to let people come to the door to gamble, they can't do it to me because I won their money, this is a violation of business ethics."
Li Chaoyun smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, you can win thousands of dollars a day, this kind of play, in the long run, they can't afford it." ”
Li Zhi shouted: "Lord Li, how can you think of me like this, I just won some money from them for my expenses, how can I go to the gambling house every day to find trouble for them, I am not a gambler who is addicted to gambling." ”
"But this time, they have to hand over everything they say, otherwise I have a way to make their gambling house unable to open."
However, the first unlucky person this time will definitely not be Li Zhi, but the owner of the Qingyun Gambling House, and the other three gambling houses temporarily attributed the cause and effect of Li Zhi's victory to him.
After today, the owner of Qingyun Gambling House will evaporate from the world.
"Okay, but Your Highness, you can't go to the gambling house tomorrow."
"Don't worry, as long as they send me the money early, I will leave Shaanzhou City."
It was getting dark, and Li Zhi had to meet with the owner of the restaurant tonight, so he had to leave the Li Mansion and return to the restaurant again.
In order to ensure Li Zhi's safety, Li Chaoyun Xiang transferred some good hands from his mansion to follow him, but Li Zhi refused.
Li Zhi said to Li Chaoyun like this: "Lord Li, your worries are unnecessary, in this Shaanzhou City, even if you want to deal with me, you can't keep me, let alone the three gambling houses." If they dare to come, I will definitely surprise them. ”
After Li Zhi left Li Chaoyun's study, Li Chaoyun's wife walked in.
"Husband, how did you talk to him?" Although Mrs. Li is already married to Li Chaoyun, how can she not care about matters involving the Wang family.
"Don't worry, madam, he promised me that he wouldn't go to the gambling house again tomorrow, and in his words he was just winning some money for his expenses, and he didn't mean to trouble the gambling house."
Li Chaoyun said solemnly: "Madam, even those people in the Wang family's gambling house, don't deal with His Highness, otherwise the Wang family may suffer a big loss." ”
Mrs. Li said curiously: "Husband, you seem to have a high opinion of this highness?" ”
"Hehe, madam, you don't want to think that Your Majesty dares to let him out of the palace, so naturally you don't worry about his safety. Don't look at His Highness's small person, but this guy has a lot of eyes, and his methods are probably not bad. ”
"Don't worry, we are still thinking about marrying our precious girl to him, I will definitely warn them on the Wang family's side, but I can't take care of the other two gambling houses."
After walking out of the Li Mansion, there was already a carriage waiting at the door, and Miss Li poked her head out of it and beckoned to Li Zhi: "Hurry up and get in the car, I will go with you to meet this owner tonight." ”
Li Zhi naturally would not refuse.
When I came to the restaurant, the whole city was already dressed in night makeup, and the goddess of the moon climbed up to the treetops and sprinkled her gentle light on the earth.
The boss was pacing at the door, looking at the posture that should be waiting for someone, and he didn't know if his owner was here.
"Boss, who are you waiting for?" Li Zhi said with a smile.
After seeing Li Zhi, the boss said with a happy face: "Little brother, you are finally here, our boss is already waiting for you upstairs." ”
"Sorry for the delay." Li Zhi said apologetically.
"The little brother is serious, and our host has only just come over for a while."
Following the boss, the two came to the No. 1 private room on the second floor, and someone seemed to be talking in the room.
After the door was pushed open, Li Zhi saw Wu Meiniang chatting with a woman.
The woman obliquely inserted a carved wooden hairpin, lightly swept her eyebrows, wore a white mopping smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt, covered with moon satin embroidered magnolia flying butterfly clothes, lined with pale pink brocade wrap chest, cuffs embroidered with delicate gold-veined butterflies, a few lace lace hooked on the chest placket, a layer of thin silk yarn like a clear fog cage on the skirt, and a gold belt around the waist, full of luxury.
Although she is about the same age as Wu Meiniang, she looks very mature as a person, which is a kind of maturity that does not match her age.
The boss respectfully introduced: "Little brother, this is my owner, Cui Liying." ”
Her surname is Cui, is it another five surnames and seven wangs, today she just provoked the Qinghe Cui family and the Boling Cui family, if the other party knows what he did today, I am afraid that the faces of both parties will not look good.
