The emperor is far away, and the Yuanshan Mansion and Daze Mansion are the hometowns of the British Duke, so the prefects of the two prefectures turn a blind eye to this matter in line with the principle that more is better than less.

Underground gambling houses, acting unscrupulously, not only cheated those gamblers' money, but also lent usury, and in more than ten years, many families were separated, families were ruined, and even hundreds of lives were killed.

This year, because the gambling house of the British government in Shengjing was robbed of business, and the duck shop did not make much money, the underground gambling houses in Yuanshan Mansion and Daze Mansion became the pillar industry of the British government.

The British government needed silver, so the nephew of the British prince intensified his efforts to accumulate wealth, and the British government was still afraid of the law, and only opened an underground gambling house in the capital city. After all, Sheng Hong's father and son strictly inspected this piece, and once it was discovered, it would be beheaded.

But there was no money to make people crazy, and within four months from the Chinese New Year to the present, he instructed his nephew to open underground gambling houses in the counties of Yuanshan Province and Daze Province.

There are many gambling houses, and the attack is also ruthless, for example, malice makes people addicted to gambling, and usury interest rates increase, so hundreds of lives have been killed in four months.

The magistrate of a county under Daze Mansion did not want to see the people suffer this misfortune, so he specially persuaded the British nephew to be more restrained.

As a result, he was beaten by his British nephew, and the youngest son of the county magistrate also mysteriously fell into the river and drowned.

As soon as this incident came out, this magistrate was honest and didn't dare to say more.

But when the news reached Sheng Hong, Sheng Hong couldn't bear it anymore.

Even if he has made great achievements, he can't abuse his people so badly.

So, yesterday Sheng Hong went to the Longevity Palace to discuss the matter with Sheng Jun.

Sheng Jun finished reading the twists and turns, but he did not hesitate, and immediately asked people to summarize the crimes of the British government over the years.

In addition to those sinful underground gambling houses, the British government is completely overlord in Yuanshan Mansion and Daze Mansion, and the prefects of the two mansions dare not provoke their Lu family, allowing the Lu family to run rampant in the two mansions and cause countless troubles.

In addition to those bad things in my hometown, the British government also made a lot of trouble in Shengjing.

For example, in the case of the British public robbing people's daughters, an eighty-year-old man went to occupy other people's teenage girls, do you want to be ashamed? !

There is also a gambling house in the British Mansion, which on the surface still abides by the rules he has made, but secretly, the British Duke has already let people open a small gambling house outside the city.

This small underground gambling house has only been open for more than two years, and there have been no fatalities so far, but the Dasheng Law clearly prohibits the private opening of gambling houses, and once it is discovered, it is a felony to cut off the head.

There are also seizures of merchants' fields, taking advantage of the relationship between the five princes in the household department, and interfering in the promotion of officials.

Each of them is listed, and it is a serious crime that is severely punished.

But Sheng Jun endured it before.

Sheng Jun is a person who knows gratitude, and he always remembers the situation when he was about to die under the enemy's knife when the city was broken.

If it weren't for the appearance of the British Duke in time, there would be no later Dasheng.

Therefore, although he had known about the crimes of the British government for a long time, he endured it, his benefactor.

But today, he can't continue to endure it, and if he doesn't come forward again, then the British government will be even more unscrupulous.

Dasheng, which their father and son have worked hard to maintain, those innocent people should not be arbitrarily hoked by the British government.

Therefore, the British government should be punished.

But for the sake of the meritorious rescue and war exploits of the year, he did not kill the people of the British government, and he did not touch the British government's properties in Shengjing except for the gambling house.

The British Duke was old, and despite all his sins, he gave the British Duke a chance to enjoy his old age in peace.

However, the British government's properties in Yuanshan Mansion and Daze Mansion were filled into the treasury, and the Lu family of Yuanshan Mansion was punished for their guilt, and those who were not guilty were found to find their own way out.

Sheng Hong's holy decree came without warning, but it was like thunder on a sunny day, and it rang violently in everyone's ears.

When Qian San finished reading the long holy decree, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned.

This, this......

It's so sudden.

It was so sudden.

No one expected that there would be such a decree today.

Especially the fifth prince, his eyes were about to fall out, and he looked at Sheng Hong who was sitting on the dragon chair in disbelief.

What's going on?

What's going on?

Why didn't he get any news beforehand and hear any wind?

Did his father deal with the British Duke without first ventilating with him?

The British Duke and the Dong family are his right-hand men, and now his father has cut off one of his arms, and he didn't notify him first?

In this way, without any warning, the final results were read out in public in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and he was not given a chance to intercede, nor did he give the British a chance to repent.

Does his father hate him so much?!

Do you have to trample his face under your feet?!

Is there such a thing?

Have you ever considered his feelings?

He has become a laughing stock, and now that his father is here again, what face will he have to stand on top of this court in the future?

He was cut off an arm and lost face twice in succession, who will support him and fall to him in the future?!

How much his father hated him.

His father treated him unfairly!

Li Qiao stood at the door of the hall, bowing his head slightly, staring at the bluestone slab under his feet, at this time, he was naturally happy.

He was not old enough to bring down the British Principality, which fell first.

However, when he thought about the innocent people who were being hoked by the British government, he couldn't laugh at all.

A little spittle of these big people falls on the heads of ordinary people, that is a landslide and tsunami.

Chapter 148: The Five Princes Continue to Go Crazy Li Qiao's worries

It was the third prince who came back to his senses first, and he immediately shouted: "Father Emperor Shengming!" ”

This sentence of Shengming pulled the Manchu civil and military back from their stunnedness.

In other words, many people have long since come to their senses, but they are afraid to say anything.

Sheng Hong was obviously in a bad mood, and the fifth prince was holding his breath, so no one wanted to stand up and be the first bird.

Now that the three princes have come forward, the people who are not part of the five princes' faction naturally have to follow.

It's a pleasure.

As far as the crimes enumerated in the holy decree are shocking, the British male dog is so bold that he can only say that he deserves it.

But the five princes listened to the neat and uniform four words of the emperor's holy ming, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense, but he was not stupid enough to question this holy decree in the main hall.

After waiting for the court, the hundred officials dispersed, and he immediately went to the apse of the Taiji Palace.

The apse of the Taiji Hall is his father's bedroom, he is really not convinced by this, he wants to find his father and talk about it.

Sheng Hong sat on the couch, his hand resting on a long small table against his forehead, looking tired.

Yesterday, in order to block the news, even though he had monstrous anger in his chest, but after leaving the Longevity Palace, he didn't leak a trace of sparks, what should he do.

He didn't sleep well all night last night, and now he just feels dizzy, and he just wants to lie down and make up for sleep.

But his head was messy, obviously, even if he was really lying in bed, then he would definitely not be able to meet Zhou Gong.

Moreover, the end of the British public will inevitably trigger a chain reaction, and he is not qualified to rest at this time.

Sure enough, before he could take a sip of the tea that the palace maid poured him, a little eunuch came outside to report: The five princes asked to see him.

"Let him in."

Placing the tea bowl back on the table, he looked up at the door.

When the fifth prince entered the door, he first saluted, and then opened his mouth with full anger: "Father, the son knows that the British public crime is deserved, and the punishment of you and the imperial grandfather is already merciful." But the son has something unclear, so please ask his father to solve his doubts. ”

"You say." Sheng Hong took a breath imperceptibly, raised his hand and rubbed his face.

But the fifth prince was full of anger, how could he have the heart to pay attention to his tiredness.

"Father, why didn't you inform your son in advance before you and your grandfather disposed of the British duke?"

"Moreover, why didn't you and the imperial grandfather knock on the Duke of England but directly took his title?"

"He did so much credit back then, and my son thinks you could give him one more chance. If you had knocked him beforehand, he would have corrected it. ”

The fifth prince raised his hand as he spoke: "Really, he will definitely change, and his son can swear." ”

"But now without warning you have reduced him to a commoner...... You and Grandpa Huang, have you long been disgusted with him? ”

Sheng Hong: "......"

He looked at the doubts on the faces of the five sons and tried his best to suppress them, but still revealed the slightest dissatisfaction, and his heart felt like pressing a big stone.

Exhaling softly, he raised his hand to take the tea cup on the small table, and asked, "Then do you know about the death of people in the gambling houses of the British publics?" ”

The Fifth Prince: "? ”

I questioned him first.

"My son doesn't know." He immediately shook his head.

"I really don't know, I don't know, I don't know?" Sheng Hong asked.

"I don't know." These four words, the fifth prince replied very firmly.

He really didn't know about the murder in the underground gambling house.

But he knew about the public underground gambling houses in England.

Although this is illegal, the British duke also gave him Zhang Luo, and it costs a lot of money for him to fight with his third brother.

The British duke gave him the silver on time, and that was enough, he didn't care where the money came from, and he didn't make a big deal before anyway.

"Yes, I believe you. You said that I didn't beat the British duke, so there was a conflict between Lu Wenrong and Li Qiao before, and I promoted Li Qiao, isn't this a beating? Even if you came to intercede, I didn't let go, isn't this a beating? ”

The Fifth Prince: "......"

His mouth was open and closed.
