"What's the matter, Su Wanqing's road didn't work, so she changed to a man? I'm telling you, you won't get any news from me. The man casually leaned on the somewhat dirty cell, and his original light blue clothes had turned black and blue at the moment, and he looked dirty and messy.

The man's long hair was casually draped over his shoulders, and there was even a hint of peculiar smell. But the man didn't seem to notice half of it, and sat there lazily, not worrying about his current situation in the slightest.

If you look closely, you can see that the man has heavy shackles around his ankles. His hands were also tightly cuffed together by two heavy handcuffs, and there was no room to move at all.

He leaned against the wall of the cell in embarrassment, surrounded by piles of weeds and an unbearable stench.

Yi Zhao looked coldly at the man in front of him who was not the slightest surprised by his appearance, and only after a while did he speak: "Xu Che, don't you want to leave this cell at all?" ”

Xu Che raised his eyelids and glanced at the handsome man in black in front of him, although he didn't know this man, but his intuition told him that this man must have wanted to come to find out information by himself.

"I don't know you, but I also know very well that no matter what I say, I can't get out of this cell. In that case, why should I say anything? What you want to know, I won't say a word. Don't waste your efforts, get out of here. ”

Yi Zhao looked at this obviously invulnerable man, and frowned slightly without a trace. He seemed to understand a little why Su Wanqing had locked him up for so long, and he didn't get much effective information.

In addition to knowing that this Xu Che is fake, and that he is the real culprit of the shocking female corpse case in Piaomei Village, it seems that he is also inextricably linked with Ruan Guifei, but these have not been fully confirmed. In addition, there is too little information about this Xu Che.

"What is the relationship between you and Ruan Guifei?" Yi Zhao knew as soon as he saw this fake Xu Che that he was very smart, but he was also calm enough. As a prison person, he can still maintain this indifference, I really don't know if it's because the strength behind him is so strong that he doesn't need to worry at all, or because this person's courage is really big, and he is not even afraid of death?

Yi Zhao naturally didn't want to be the former, but, most likely, it might be the former.

"Ruan Guifei? Isn't it the most beloved concubine of the Emperor of Tianli Kingdom, what can it have to do with me? Xu Che's attitude was not leaky, he accidentally showed his cowardice in front of Su Wanqing, which was already a big taboo. After that time, Xu Che warned himself in his heart that no matter what others said, as long as he didn't admit it, they would definitely take him seriously.

Xu Che also knew that they would never choose to kill themselves at this moment, the reason was simple, he still had a very important value. A worthy person, even if he loses his conscience, will never lose his life, and he is in such a situation at present.

This is also the reason why Xu Che can handle it so calmly.

Yi Zhao looked at Xu Che, his eyes were heavy, and people didn't know what he was thinking.

"Since you have nothing to do with Ruan Guifei, you must naturally not know what secrets are contained in her underground casino, right?"

At the beginning, Su Wanqing also said similar words to Xu Che.

This time, Xu Che didn't have any special expression on his face. He even glanced at Yi Zhao with some mockery, and then said, "How about Ruan Guifei, I'm not worried. As for the underground casino in Narauszi, I don't know, if you want to know anything, just look it up, don't waste your time and energy on me, you won't get anything from me. ”

Yi Zhao was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Actually, the real boss behind the underground casino is not Ruan Guifei. ”

Xu Che didn't expect Yi Zhao to say this suddenly, his pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to just want to say something, but he quickly came back to his senses and paused for a second before he spoke: "I haven't heard of any underground casino, and naturally I don't know who the boss is." Hurry up and don't disturb my rest. ”

After Xu Che finished saying this, he closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. Obviously, he won't pay attention to Yi Zhao anymore.

Yi Zhao didn't have much surprise in his eyes when he saw Xu Che's attitude. At the beginning, Su Wanqing asked him to come to Xu Che, but she just wanted him to try her luck. Yi Zhao didn't have much expectation for Xu Che. After all, Su Wanqing can't get what he wants, he Yi Zhao, and he doesn't have such a big ability, right?

Today, however, it is not entirely without gains.

The moment Xu Che paused, he had already betrayed himself. Although he reacted immediately and didn't say anything, his momentary micro-expression was still captured by the sharp-eyed Yi Zhao.

Yi Zhao originally just wanted to test him, but he didn't expect that the real boss behind this underground casino was really not Ruan Guifei.

Could it be that the news that Ruan Guifei opened this underground casino was originally just a cover. In fact, there is actually someone else behind the scenes?

Hearing this news was not a very happy thing for Yi Zhao. On the contrary, it adds a new problem to him.

Yi Zhao rubbed his eyebrows gently, stopped talking, and strode out of the cell. Today, he knew that he had only gained so much, and there was no point in continuing to stay.

After Yi Zhao's footsteps faded away, Xu Che slowly opened his eyes.

He looked up at a small window next to the cell, and the light from the outside shone through the crack, shining on the damp floor of the cell. Xu Che's eyes were dark, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

After Yi Zhao left the cell, he did not immediately go to see Su Wanqing. Now that he has obtained this clue, he knows very well that if he continues to investigate along Ruan Guifei's line, he will not get too many results. He had to change his perspective.

Now the top priority is to find out as soon as possible who the real boss behind the underground casino is. What kind of person would make Ruan Guifei, who was so favored by the emperor, protect him at all costs, even in her own name?

Maybe they were wrong in the first place.

Ruan Guifei's trick may be just a trick at all, not a clue they have painstakingly investigated. The look in Yi Zhao's eyes became deeper and deeper, when they first investigated that this underground casino was opened by Ruan Guifei, they didn't expect that this news might have been deliberately exposed by Ruan Guifei herself?

If this is the case, then this woman's mind is inevitably too terrible.

What made Yi Zhao even more unacceptable was that it was precisely because of this wrong idea that he almost killed Ruobing, which he couldn't forgive no matter what.

No matter what secret the underground casino has, even if you dig it up, you must dig out that secret.

The person who can make Ruan Guifei scheming, who does not hesitate to expose himself to divert their target, must not be an ordinary person. Now, if they rush to continue the investigation, they will expose themselves. Rather, perhaps unconsciously, they have revealed their identities.

Yi Zhao decided to ignore this matter for the time being, Xu Che saw himself today, he must be more vigilant, next time, it is estimated that there will be no chance to find out any news from his mouth. But he must not let Xu Che spread his news.

This road doesn't work, he just goes the other way.

Yi Zhao's originally gloomy face returned to normal a little, he raised his head, looked at the sunset hanging in the sky, raised his steps, and soon disappeared in place.

A few days later, a fire swept through a casino. Many of the nobles' children fled from it in a state of confusion, their faces terrified, and some of their clothes were even blackened. Some people have half of their hair burned.

This incident set off a wave in the country of Tianli. No one thought that in such a bustling street, there would be a store on fire, and this is still a casino!

If it weren't for the fact that this place was on fire, many people would have thought that this was just an ordinary top-notch hotel! Fortunately, the hotel that caught fire did not cause any casualties.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, this fire came very strangely, but at the same time, it also exposed the secret behind the hotel to the eyes of the world.

"What are you talking about, there is still such a casino in the capital?" Pei Tianyu patted the dragon chair in front of him, almost didn't stand up, his face was full of anger.

As the monarch of Tianli Country, the most taboo thing is the place that appears in this capital. After all, this is a casino, if it sounds nice, it's just a pastime for the children of the nobility, but if it sounds bad, it's a crime. After all, as a monarch, he didn't know that there would be such a huge casino behind him, which was simply a slap in the face!

After all, this kind of bad atmosphere cannot be spread in the imperial city.

The minister who reported couldn't help jumping in his heart when he saw such an angry emperor, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead without a trace, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this news has been spread all over the imperial city at this time, and the people are watching the excitement, and they are also adhering to the attitude of dealing with the casino as soon as possible." After all, it really shouldn't be ...... for such a place to appear in the imperial city."

Pei Tianyu couldn't help but slap the table again, so angry that his mustache was about to fly.

"Naturally, we have to investigate thoroughly, and send people to find out why such a place appears in the capital! Who is so bold as to dare to openly fight with me! ”

The minister couldn't help but wipe his sweat again, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I heard that after the officers and soldiers extinguished the fire, they also caught many nobles' sons, this matter is ......."

"Okay, as a nobleman who has left the country, he is still involved in this kind of thing! Arrest them all, find out their identities one by one, and bring them back for a good education! It's simply lawless, if it involves the royal family, all of them will be severely punished! If it weren't for such a thing, it seems that I would still be kept in my bones, which is really unreasonable! ”

The Son of Heaven was angry, and all the ministers present were so frightened that their hearts trembled, for fear that if they said one more word, they would be dragged out by the emperor and beheaded if they disagreed.

They knelt down one after another, shouting, "Please calm the emperor's anger—"

Pei Tianyu looked at those frightened ministers, and couldn't help but say with some hatred: "Stop the anger, if something like this happens, how can I be angry!" What are you ministers doing on weekdays, but you don't know that such a big casino appears in the imperial city, and there are also noble children involved! Are you really unaware, or are you falsely unaware? ”

Pei Tianyu looked at them suspiciously, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes.

The ministers glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but secretly complain. They really don't know about it.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have been wronged—"

Pei Tianyu watched a group of ministers kowtow to him, shouting that he was wronged, he waved his hand impatiently, and said unhappily: "That's not what I want to hear, you hurry up and check for me, and you must find out the boss behind the scenes!" ”

"Yes-" Where did those ministers dare to refuse, now the emperor is still angry, if any of them dare to say no, it will really be braided. They don't want to die!

"So, which of you wants to be in charge of this?" Pei Tianyu said slowly, his eagle eyes scanning the courtiers below.

But what can they find? The ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first to stand up. As the saying goes, if you stand up and don't do things well, your situation will only get worse.

Pei Qian stood in it, seeing his father so angry, he knew that this was his good opportunity. If he can find out who is behind the scenes, he must be impressed by his father.

Because of Su Wanyue's being brought back to the Second Prince's Mansion, his father was somewhat unhappy with him, although he didn't say it explicitly, but how could Pei Qian not feel it. Therefore, he will have to put some action in order to make his position clear. At the same time, I also hope to be able to let my father dissipate his anger and stop worrying.

Therefore, Pei Qian took a step forward, arched his hand at Pei Tianyu, and said, "Father, please allow your sons to investigate this matter thoroughly!" ”

Pei Tianyu saw Pei Qian stand up, his face was slightly better, and he glared at the ministers who lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at him. These are all idle meals, and they are so high-sounding on weekdays, and when it comes to the critical moment, they are used as a fart!

Pei Tianyu waved his hand and said to Pei Qian: "Since Xiao Er said so, then you will be responsible for this matter." Those noble children, all of them are arrested, and none of them can be spared! I want to see how long this Rausch Casino has been secretly open under my nose. ”

The ministers listened tremblingly, knowing that this time, the emperor was indeed in a big rage. Also, this casino is actually open in this huge imperial city, and it is making waves under the nose of the Son of Heaven, can the emperor not be angry?

When Pei Qian heard Pei Tianyu say this, he hurriedly arched his hand again, and said: "Please rest assured, my father, my son's ministers will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and none of the people involved, my son's ministers will not let go!" ”

Pei Tianyu rubbed his eyebrows with a little headache, why are all the recent things one after another? First, the grain and grass were lost, and he finally got it back, his mood had just relaxed, and now there was such a thing.

Pei Tianyu almost wondered, is his luck not very good recently, why do you work against him? It seems that he should find someone to do a good calculation.

Xiaoliu and Su Yatou's marriage is also approaching, and this kind of thing is really unlucky.

Pei Tianyu frowned, his mood was indeed not very good.

The marriage between Xiaoliu and Su Yatou must not be disturbed in any way because of these bad things, they must get married smoothly.

Thinking of this, Pei Tianyu couldn't help but sigh slightly, it was really not worrying.

"Do you Aiqing have anything else to report to me?"

The ministers looked at each other, but they were silent. Now that such a big thing has happened, the emperor is still angry, where do they dare to hit the muzzle of the gun? Unless they're all tired of living.

Pei Tianyu saw that they were all silent, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, thinking about it, he knew what they were thinking in their hearts. But I'm really not in the mood at the moment, so I will continue to listen.

Therefore, Pei Tianyu waved his hand and said a little tiredly: "Since there is nothing to do, then let's retreat, I am also a little tired." ”

When all the ministers heard the emperor say this, they all knelt down, saluted respectfully, and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

Pei Tianyu seemed to think of something, and said again: "Xiao Er, you stay for a while, and the others, let's retreat first." ”

"Yes."

When only Pei Tianyu and Pei Qian were left in the entire court, Pei Tianyu looked at his second son and said, "Little Er, what do you have to do about this fire?" Do you think this fire was a coincidence, or was someone deliberately doing it? ”

Pei Qian thought for a while, then lowered his head and said respectfully: "Erchen has not launched an investigation yet, so he doesn't dare to draw conclusions here." But this fire did come strangely, why are there so many shops, but it is the hotel? Moreover, it is not an ordinary hotel, but a casino. This fire is indeed somewhat intriguing. ”

Pei Tianyu nodded, and seemed to have a trace of agreement with Pei Qian's words.

As the emperor, he naturally would not simply think that the fire was just an accident. In this world, are there really so many accidents? Not necessarily.

But the inn's true face was exposed, and it was not a bad thing for him.
