Chapter 152 Ambition
Gambling house.
“The boss is not good! The officers and soldiers are coming!”
The officers and soldiers broke in, scaring the gamblers into fleeing in panic. However, the officers and soldiers had already surrounded the gambling house, and no one could escape.
Dalong came down with his men. When he saw the leading officers and soldiers, he hurriedly came forward and said, "Sir, I wonder what happened? Are you mobilizing troops like this?"
“Are you in charge of this gambling house?”
“Yes, we are just trying to make a living.”
As he spoke, Dalong took out a bulging purse from his sleeve and wanted to quietly put it into the arms of the leading officer, but the other party pushed it away.
The man said with a cold face, "You want to bribe me? Come on, arrest all these people!"
“Sir, please spare my life!”
The purse in Dalong's hand fell directly to the ground.
The officers and soldiers swarmed forward and captured Dalong and the men behind him.
The rest of the gamblers were also detained by officers and soldiers, waiting for identity verification.
“Check carefully, don't miss anything!”
The officers and soldiers conducted a large-scale search in the gambling house.
Dalong looked at this scene, his whole body trembled, and sweat fell from his forehead.
“Sir, we found a cellar!”
Hearing this, Dalong's face became paler and paler, and he could hardly stand still.
Wu Guang glanced at Dalong and followed the officers and soldiers towards the cellar.
Some officers and soldiers were carrying boxes out.
Wu Guang stepped forward and opened a box. The gold and silver jewelry inside was dazzling.
“How many boxes are there?”
The officers and soldiers on the side also looked surprised, "Sir, there are nearly ten boxes left."
A small gambling shop actually hid so much gold, silver and jewelry.
Wu Guang picked up a piece of gold and glanced at it, suddenly certain.
What is written on the bottom of the gold is the year name Jianwen. This is gold that comes from the treasury!
“Take them all away!”
Looking at the boxes piled up on the cart, Wu Guang took a deep breath. I'm afraid things will change this time.
The dragon and the thugs from the gambling shop were all taken away.
As soon as the other unrelated gamblers saw the officers and soldiers leaving, they hurried out of the gambling house and did not dare to stay longer.
The news spread quickly in the capital. After all, there were many people who saw this scene on the street.
Su Leyun was working on a painting of hundreds of birds facing the phoenix in the Lin Mansion. When he heard the news, his eyes twinkled.
The two account books she took from the gambling house alone may not lead to such a serious situation. I think the male protagonist also made some preparations for this.
It seems that she owes the other party another debt.
Zhaochun Palace.
Concubine Min was lying on the couch, with two maids kneeling on both sides, rubbing her shoulders and legs.
“Mother's concubine.”
King Yu walked in with an ugly expression.
Hearing the sound, Concubine Min opened her eyes and straightened up when she saw her son's ugly face.
She waved her hand, and the two maids got up and left.
"What happened?"
“The gambling house was investigated.”
The **** who came in from outside the palace paused, and then quickly walked to the two of them.
“Your Highness, is the information accurate?”
“Eunuch Luo, I should ask you this, right?”
Seeing the person coming, King Yu looked gloomy and asked.
“Why are gambling houses being investigated?”
Eunuch Luo quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please calm down."
Seeing this scene, Concubine Min coughed lightly and said, "Okay, Jin'er, why are you angry with Eunuch Luo? Eunuch Luo gets up and talks."
King Yu snorted coldly and sat down on the chair next to him.
Seeing this, Mr. Luo said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Just then he stood up.
“Jin'er, what news have you heard?”
“Concubine, you didn't know it in the palace, but people from Dali Temple outside are trying to arrest someone.”
“Why is Eunuch Luo not clear about this matter?”
Concubine Min looked at Eunuch Luo and asked.
Eunuch Luo frowned and thought for a while, then lowered his head and replied: "Mother, I really don't know about this matter, but if there is something going on in the gambling house, someone should send a letter."
“You didn't receive the message?”
Wang Yu stared at Eunuch Luo, as if he was doubting him.
Eunuch Luo did not dare to hesitate: "Your Highness, my servant's heart towards your empress and Your Highness can be learned from heaven and earth!"
“Who knows if it's true.”
King Yu seemed to dislike Eunuch Luo very much, but due to Concubine Min's kindness, his attitude towards Eunuch Luo was neither cold nor indifferent.
Since Concubine Min entered the palace, Eunuch Luo has been with Concubine Min.
Twenty-three years have passed now, and there seems to be something more mixed between the two than a master-servant relationship.
Concubine Min glanced at Eunuch Luo, who quickly bent over and retreated.
"Okay, Jin'er, it's just a gambling house. Just check it out. I just lost a little money, don't worry."
Concubine Min doesn't think there's anything wrong with it. Eunuch Luo has always been rigorous in doing things. Even if Dali Temple goes to investigate, I'm afraid they won't be found.
King Keyu was a little uneasy.
The gambling house was investigated so suddenly that there was no news about it.
He had to wonder if there was something inside that was causing trouble.
"Let Eunuch Luo investigate this matter." Concubine Min looked at King Yu's expression and asked softly: "Are you on the line with Lu Hong?"
Hearing the word Lu Hong, King Yu's expression softened slightly.
He nodded, "Lu Hong's son Lu Huaiyuan is now under his son's sect."
"That's good." Concubine Min looked satisfied, "Lu Hong is now appreciated by His Majesty, and it will definitely be beneficial to have a good relationship with him. However, Xiao Shengyu led the troops to the northwest. If he gets military honors, I'm afraid it will have an impact on you. .”
“Don't worry, concubine, even if you want to get military merit, it still depends on whether he can get it alive.”
Mother and son looked at each other with the same ambition in their eyes.
Eunuch Luo hurriedly left Zhaochun Palace, walked to a remote location, and blew the whistle.
A figure appeared quietly.
“Go and check the gambling house.”
The figure nodded and then disappeared.
Not a single sound was left.
It's as if it never appeared.
Eunuch Luo looked at the sky outside the palace wall and frowned tightly.
It is not a trivial matter for a gambling den to be investigated.
Is it possible that any prince is ready to take action?
Dali Temple Dungeon.
Dalong was held up, his body was covered with scars, it was obvious that he had been tortured.
"I do not know anything."
His voice also became weaker and weaker.
At this time, the door was opened.
"grown ups."
Wu Guang, who was interrogating, saw the people coming in and quickly stood up to greet them.
The Minister of Dali Temple waved his hand, "What's the matter?"
“This person is very tough-talking and didn't ask anything.”
Wu Guang whispered.
The Minister of Dali Temple frowned and said, "Come here, my officer."
"yes."
Wu Guang got out of the way and saw the Dali Temple Minister walking up to Dalong and saying something in his ear. Dalong's expression immediately became panicked.
His whole body was shaking non-stop, and his pupils were dilated a lot.
"no, do not want!"
“If you tell me exactly what you know, I may be able to intercede on your behalf.”
The Minister of Dali Temple looked cold and took a few steps back in disgust.
Dalong seemed to be still hesitating. After a moment, his lips trembled and his voice was very soft: "I said it, I said it all!"
