"Heavenly punishment! God must have been angry, so he sent a divine thunder to destroy this place! While the crowd was overwhelmed by the explosion of the casino, Li Xiu suddenly roared, and his words were like a stone thrown into the lake, which immediately aroused the discussion and approval of countless people, they didn't know what gunpowder was, and they couldn't think of any other explanation except for the punishment of heaven.

"You kid is too lacking in morality, Chai Shao is considered to have fallen into blood mold when he meets you!" Ma Ye finally understood Li Xiu's intentions at this time, and looked at him strangely at the moment and said, he really didn't know that Li Xiu had such a sinister side before, it seems that Chai Shao really provoked him this time.

Hearing Ma Ye's words, Li Xiu just smiled and didn't speak, the Tang Dynasty is not like later generations, people in this era have an instinctive awe of heaven and earth, and even the emperor has to be limited by the doctrine of "heaven and man induction", and now he guides the destruction of the casino to heavenly punishment, which will not only accelerate the spread of this matter, but also attract the attention of the imperial court.

For Li Xiu's heavenly punishment, the discussion in the crowd is becoming more and more enthusiastic, and even many people are convinced, and at this time there is an expression of awe on their faces, and even more, some people actually knelt down on the spot and kowtowed, and even swore that they would never gamble again in this life, which made Li Xiu also very surprised, although there were only a few of these people, but it was a rare merit to be able to use the name of heavenly punishment to make them wake up from bad gambling.

The explosion just now also attracted a lot of people around to come, speaking of which, thanks to the large enough area of the casino, the hall did not affect the surrounding houses after the explosion, but the loud noise frightened many people, at first they did not dare to approach at all, until then they slowly came over, and when they heard the discussion of those gamblers, the name of heavenly punishment also spread rapidly.

Li Xiu wants this effect, the speed of the spread of rumors is very terrifying, and even only takes one day, the entire Chang'an City will know about it, and it will evolve into countless versions, in addition, Chai Shao is the master behind this casino Many people know, and the casino is not a proper place, just like Li Xiu said, every day there are countless people who lose their wealth here, and now they are blown into ruins by "Heavenly Punishment", and then this fire will naturally burn to Chai Shao.

"Awesome! It's really amazing, I didn't expect Li Xianjiu to have such calculations and skills, and the old man is really eye-opening! At this moment, I suddenly saw a person with a veil covering his face coming over and smiling at Li Xiu, this person was the gambler who sat at the same table with Li Xiu and them before, but Li Xiu didn't know him, and he felt that his voice was also very unfamiliar, but he didn't expect the other party to appear again at this time.

"Your Excellency, why don't you understand what you are saying?" Li Xiu was stupid and stunned, he could admit that he did it himself without any scruples in front of Ma Ye, anyway, Ma Ye was also involved, but in front of outsiders, he refused to admit it, so as not to be caught.

"Haha~, Li Xianjiu doesn't have to be so careful, but if the old man was you, he wouldn't have deliberately set off a fake fire to drive everyone out just now, but directly destroyed the hall full of gamblers, so that the gamblers inside will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the court can't cover it if it wants to, even if it is with Chai Shao's background, it will die in the end!" I saw that the gambler who refused to show his true face laughed again, listening to his voice, it seemed that he was not too young.

"Thank you for the reminder, but don't you feel cold-blooded for reckless use of so many lives for your own selfishness?" Li Xiu couldn't help but say with a cold face when he heard this, he didn't think of this, but it was impossible for him to ignore the lives of others in order to achieve his goal.

"Hehe, the eldest husband only seeks the purpose of doing things, and does not talk about the result, you are still too young!" I saw that the other party shook his head at this time, and turned around and left after speaking, Li Xiu couldn't see the expression on his face clearly from beginning to end, and naturally it was impossible to guess his thoughts.

"Uncle Ma, do you recognize this guy's identity?" Li Xiu watched the other party leave, and then asked Ma Ye next to him, with Ma Ye's knowledge, maybe he could recognize the other party.

"I'm not too sure, but my voice sounds familiar, and I should know him." Ma Ye also said slowly at this time, he didn't speak just now, mainly observing the other party's movements, hoping to see some clues from it, but in the end he still failed to recognize the identity of the other party.

Li Xiu was also a little disappointed when he heard this, but although this person guessed that the matter was related to him, he couldn't find any evidence at all, so Li Xiu didn't have to worry, in fact, the reason why he dared to come here so openly was because he firmly believed that no one would find any evidence.

In the next day, things turned out to be as Li Xiu thought, the explosion of Dong'an Casino was completely guided to the heavenly punishment, and more and more people firmly believed that it was God who couldn't get used to seeing the casino hurt so many people, so he sent a heavenly punishment warning.

Not only the ordinary people of the people have the above ideas, but even many officials believe that this is the punishment of heaven, after all, in their opinion, except for heaven, there is no other force in the world that can destroy a tall building in an instant.

Among these officials there is a special group, that is, the officials, these officials have great powers, and soon found out the relationship between Dong'an Casino and Chai Shao, so in the morning of the next day, there are many officials who have written to impeach Chai Shao for conniving at gambling and causing the wrath of God, so he sent down the heavenly punishment to warn the world, the Tang Emperor, as the son of God, naturally wants to understand the will of God, so as to severely punish Chai Shao!

The rule of officials in the Tang Dynasty is still very clear, most of the people who can become counselors are tendons, and all of them are iron-mouthed and copper-toothed and not afraid of the powerful, they don't care what your identity is, as long as you violate the law, then they will participate in the end, until you are down, and now Chai Shao is unfortunately the purpose of these counselors.

It is precisely because of this that in the next period of time, Chai Shao was played by these officials in the court in turn, and even they counted the number of bankrupt people who lost in Dong'an Casino, and then listed them one by one in the court, making Chai Shao disgraced.

At the beginning, Li Yuan still wanted to protect Chai Shao, after all, he was also the son-in-law of the royal family, if he couldn't get on the stage in this matter, even the royal face would be dull, but the fact of heavenly punishment this time was too big, and those officials also seemed to have eaten gunpowder, and they chased Chai Shao fiercely, and there was a thick stack of folds to impeach him every day.

In the end, even Li Yuan couldn't protect him, so he could only issue an order to remove Chai Shao from the title of Duke of Huoguo, before Chai Shao had just been removed from the post of General of the Right Xiaowei, and now even the title was lost, fortunately he also had the title of Captain of the Horse, which was the title attached to his marriage to Princess Pingyang, generally speaking, as long as he married Princess Pingyang, this title would not be lost, which also made Chai Shao barely maintain the identity of a nobleman.

"It's too ruthless, those officials are like a group of hungry wolves, they won't let go if they grab Chai Shao's handle, and some people even ask Your Majesty to drive Chai Shao out of Chang'an, and never come back, but unfortunately they were vetoed by Your Majesty." In the back garden of Li Xiu's house, Ma Ye drank a bowl of wine boldly, and then laughed and said, he has also been paying attention to the news from Chai Shao during this time, and comes to Li Xiu every two days to drink and chat with him.

"Hehe, if you can really drive Chai Shao out of Chang'an forever, you don't have to worry about him coming back to retaliate, but unfortunately Your Majesty will not agree!" Li Xiu also chuckled at this time and said, through the observation during this time, he has figured out Li Yuan's attitude towards Chai Shao, in general, as long as Chai Shao does not rebel, I am afraid that Li Yuan will not really treat him.

"What, do you think Chai Shao still dares to retaliate against you?" Ma Ye asked in surprise at this time, in his opinion, after Chai Shao has been hit by this blow, even if he will not collapse, I am afraid that he will become honest, where can he still have the courage to retaliate against Li Xiu?

"Chai Shao will indeed be honest for a while after this blow, but when he recovers, he will definitely hate me even more, so I have to be careful." Li Xiu smiled again and said, the grudge between him and Chai Shao cannot be resolved, and he can't guard against the other party all the time, so it's best to find a way to completely solve this trouble.

"Then what to do, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, if you don't solve the trouble of Chai Shao, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep peacefully in the future." Ma Ye couldn't help but be a little worried when he heard this, thinking about it, this is indeed the truth, with Chai Shao's arrogant character, he suffered such a big loss this time, I am afraid that he will take revenge on Li Xiu at all costs in the future.

"It doesn't matter, this blow to Chai Shao is almost devastating, I estimate that in three or five years, he will not be able to turn over, and during this time, I am afraid that he will not be able to come out of the shadow of that explosion, I am afraid that he will not have the courage to come to me for trouble, but it will be difficult to say later." What Li Xiu said in the future meant that when he and Princess Pingyang really got together, I am afraid that Chai Shao would once again ignite his ambition for revenge, which had to be guarded against.

When Ma Ye heard this, he also felt that what Li Xiu said made sense, and Li Xiu was able to stay so sober that he was completely relieved, but at this time, Li Xiu suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Uncle Ma, did you find out his identity with the gambler we met in Dong'an Casino last time?"
