In the past, Emperor Qianwu did not crack down on underground gambling houses, but because of the news reported by the Dali Temple in charge of this matter, it had little effect.

Over time, everyone has become accustomed to this cat-and-mouse game, and they can play it with ease.

Emperor Qianwu saw that there was no effect, so he simply let it go, and would only make a statement when something big happened in the gambling house, so Li Shou dared to secretly open so many gambling houses to make crazy money.

But he never thought that Emperor Qianwu would suddenly use such a thunderous method and make a move without anyone knowing.

Li Shou couldn't help but think of four words: Kill it if you are fat!

Could it be that even though Emperor Qianwu was just a performance before, he actually wanted to fatten them up and then harvest them?

But why this time?

When the flood in Shangzhou was full of silver, why didn't you do this?

Li Shou's heart moved, and suddenly he thought of someone.

Li Changfeng!

It may have something to do with him!

He hurriedly asked, "What did Li Changfeng do today?" ”

Zhao Cheng replied: "According to the spy who is watching, the Nine Emperor Princes first went to the palace today, and it took three hours before leaving the palace. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Cheng couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Your Highness, do you mean that the raid of the gambling house has something to do with His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes?"

Li Shou showed a look that was really like this, and said coldly: "This prince is not sure, but it is estimated that it has nothing to do with him!" ”

Zhao Cheng was taken aback: "Your Highness, he wouldn't know that the killer was sent by us, right?!" ”

Li Shou shook his head and said, "No, with his temperament, if he knew, would he let me go so easily?" ”

Zhao Cheng was puzzled: "Then what is the explanation for the raid on the gambling house?" ”

Li Shou said hatefully: "It's definitely not aimed at me, but nine times out of ten, the idea was made by that bastard!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Shou couldn't help but show a worried look.

What would Emperor Qianwu do after he knew that he was the boss behind so many gambling houses?

……

On the morning of the second day, Xuanzheng Palace.

After the visit, the ministers discussed the matter.

Strangely, none of the courtiers mentioned the raid on the gambling house.

Most of them had received news about this matter last night, and even if they hadn't gotten it, they had learned about it from other courtiers earlier in the morning.

It's just that there are too many powerful people involved in the gambling house, that is, many people under the eldest prince Li Chengye and the sixth prince Li Ji have also opened gambling houses, so no one wants to expand the matter.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Qianwu sneered in his heart.

After the inspection was completed last night, Gao Dali counted it all night, and when Emperor Qianwu woke up in the morning, he saw a shocking number.

Two hundred fifty-three thousand seven hundred twenty-eight taels of silver!

Emperor Qianwu knew that the scale of gambling in the capital was not small, but he never expected that it would reach such a terrifying point.

When the imperial court was relieving the disaster, the treasury could not even take out 500,000 taels of silver, and the gambling money in one night was so much.

After learning of this and this number, Emperor Qianwu was furious, and almost couldn't help but order all the people behind the scenes to be arrested.

But in the end, I endured it.

Because he has already found out, the biggest behind-the-scenes boss is his prince Li Shou.

If it is traced to the end, it will inevitably be made public and known to everyone, and when the time comes, what will be the face of the heavenly family?

Such restraint made Emperor Qianwu feel extremely aggrieved, and his eyes were full of anger when he looked at Li Shou.

He said coldly: "I raided the major gambling houses in the capital yesterday, and seized 250,000 taels of gambling money, which has been handed over to the national treasury. ”

After the warning, Emperor Qianwu waved his hand impatiently: "This morning is here, Li Shou stays, and the others retreat!" ”

Hearing Emperor Qianwu's words, the corners of Li Chengye's mouth couldn't help but show a sneer.

He naturally knew that the boss behind many gambling houses was Li Shou.

He hasn't done this kind of side-door business over the years, because he was afraid that something would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come true today.

As for Li Ji, because he was beaten too hard by Li Changfeng last time, he is still recuperating from his injuries in the mansion, and he has not been to the court so far.

Li Jianye trained in the artillery battalion and did not go to the early dynasty.

The other princes looked like they were sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Li Code's face turned pale instantly.

After everyone retreated, Emperor Qianwu sat up from the dragon chair with an expressionless face and slowly walked in front of Li Shou, and said coldly: "Are you guilty?" ”

Li Shou fell to his knees and hurriedly kowtowed: "The son is guilty!" ”

"Just be convicted!"

Emperor Qianwu snorted coldly, pulled out the belts of the seven wolves, and slashed his head and face.

"Bastard thing!"

"A dignified man, you actually opened a gambling house, where do you put my face?!"

"Half of the gambling houses in the capital are yours, it's bold!"

"Do you know that if you do this, you will shake the country's foundation!"

"Do you know that if these things are known to everyone, your reputation will be ruined!"

"Do you know that in order to protect you and save the face of the Heavenly Family, I have to expose this matter!"

"I gallop the world, how can I ever be so aggrieved?!"

"It's all because of you bastard!"

……

Every time Emperor Qianwu scolded, he pulled his belt fiercely, and did not spare his hand at all.

Li Shou didn't dare to dodge, so he could only protect his head and let Emperor Qianwu beat him hard, and kept shouting for mercy.

The more Emperor Qianwu smoked, the more angry he became, they were all his own emperors, why was the difference so big?

Li Changfeng also loves money, but his way of making money is legal and reasonable, and he never causes trouble for him.

And this Li Shou, why is it so unbearable?

The more angry Emperor Qianwu was, the harder he smoked, and after a while, the entire belt was stained red by Li Shou's blood.

Seeing this scene, Gao Dali had to remind: "Your Majesty, you can't fight anymore, if you fight again, you will die!" ”

Seeing that Li Shou's python robe was in tatters, and there was blood everywhere on his body, Emperor Qianwu stopped.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "The properties that opened the gambling house are all yours, right?" All of them are handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and if you dare to do such a thing that damages the face of the heavenly family in the future, I will not spare you! ”

After speaking, Emperor Qianwu brushed his sleeves away.

Li Shou glanced at Emperor Qianwu's back, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and his eyes were full of resentment.

Emperor Qianwu, who was angry, was in a much better mood, and said to Gao Dali: "Give these properties to Changfeng, the lottery shop is estimated to be used, and it can also be used in the future to open a beer barbecue city, so as not to let that stinky boy always say that I am stingy." ”

Gao Li bowed and said, "The old slave knows." ”

……

Evening.

Li Changfeng, who had been strolling around the major downtown areas of the capital all morning, was frowning and eating in the restaurant.

His original plan was to open the lottery shop in three days, but it seems impossible at the moment because he can't find a suitable shop.

All the shops with good locations and large areas are not sold or rented out, which makes him feel helpless.

You can't grab it, can you?

"Hey......"

Li Changfeng let out a long sigh.

If you can't do it, you can only find a remote place.

At this moment, Xu Feng'er walked in.

"Your Highness, Grandpa Zhang asks to see you!"

Li Changfeng was a little surprised, it was almost dark this day, what was Grandpa Zhang doing?

Without thinking much about it, Li Changfeng asked Xu Fenger to invite Father-in-law Zhang in.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Changfeng greeted him warmly, and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang, it's such a coincidence that you came, come and sit down and have dinner together!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Father-in-law Zhang to the table.

Father-in-law Zhang hurriedly refused: "I can't do it, I can't do it!" There is a difference between respect and inferiority, our family is still standing! ”

Li Changfeng took care of so much there, so he forced Father-in-law Zhang to sit down at the table, and said with a smile: "Old Zhang, what are you polite?" Now there are no outsiders, don't worry so much, you know the character of this prince! ”

Hearing this, Father-in-law Zhang couldn't help but show a grateful look.

When they met for the first time before, Li Changfeng gave him a large reward, saying that he would save more money to make life better after leaving the palace in the future, so that he could be a confidant.

When he picked up Li Changfeng the next day, Li Changfeng gave him his breakfast, and there was no shelf at all, so that he could eat the best breakfast in his life.

And now Li Changfeng is pulling him to eat at the same table again, can such a master be found in the whole world?

Gonggong Zhang couldn't wait to leave the palace and concentrate on serving Li Changfeng.

Just when he was thinking about this, Li Changfeng stuffed a stack of silver tickets into Zhang's father-in-law's hand, and said with a smile: "Save it, and use it for retirement in the future!" ”

Father-in-law Zhang swept his eyes and was afraid that it was about a thousand taels, so he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly shirked and said: "This can't be done, it's not possible!" ”

Li Changfeng forced it into his hand and said with a smile: "You just take it, it's easier for this prince to make money than you." ”

Gonggong Zhang accepted it at this time, and hurriedly knelt down to pay homage, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Your Highness!" ”

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Why did you kneel down again?" Get up. ”

After Gonggong Zhang got up, he took out a stack of title deeds from his pocket and handed them over, and said: "Your Highness, these title deeds were brought to you by the old slave of the high prince, and they were given to you by His Majesty!" ”

"Oh?" Li Changfeng took over the land deeds with more than a dozen pieces and looked at them a few times, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "It's all good lots, why is my father suddenly so generous?" Now all the problems are solved! ”

Seeing that Li Changfeng was so happy, Gonggong Zhang also smiled: "Your Highness likes it." ”

Li Changfeng threw aside the title deeds and asked, "Where did these title deeds come from?" Does Your Majesty have any other business in the capital? ”

If it was an ordinary person who asked, Grandpa Zhang would naturally not reveal the slightest, after all, as long as you talk too much in the palace, there is a risk of losing your head, especially when it comes to Your Majesty.

But Li Changfeng asked, and Gonggong Zhang did not hesitate at all, and said directly: "These are the title deeds of the second prince!" ”

Li Changfeng's heart moved, and he already had a guess, but he showed a surprised look on the surface: "What's going on?" ”

Gonggong Zhang asked: "Your Highness, do you know about His Majesty's raid of all gambling houses in the capital last night?" ”

Li Changfeng nodded: "I know." ”

Gonggong Zhang said in a low voice: "I heard that the biggest boss behind these gambling houses is the second prince, after the early dynasty, His Majesty left the second prince in the Xuanzheng Hall for half an hour, and when he came out, the python robe was torn and covered in blood, and then in the afternoon, he sent someone to send these land deeds, all of which were the real estate where he opened the gambling house!" ”
