"Brothers, do you still have any bets? If you bet big or small, I'd better buy it quickly and leave. If I continue this, I will definitely be an innocent child. I'm willing to admit defeat. I don't have to imitate the way those girls lose. Got red eyes.”
Cheng Yaojin's grandson, Cheng Dabao, was obviously a banker in partnership with Qin Xiaole. This boy and his father, Cheng Chumo, looked exactly like the same mold. They were both tall and thick-set, and their mouths were full of yellow teeth.
This kid stood next to Qin Xiaole and shouted.
"My holy gambling brother said he bought it and left. Yuchi Xiaohei, what do you mean by holding on to the silver in your hand? If you can't afford to gamble, get out of here and let the brothers behind you place bets."
"Did I say I won't bet? I don't want to see if I want to buy big or small."
Yuchi Xiaohei had already lost so much that he was about to see his underwear. He was holding on to the money he borrowed from someone else and wanted to make money, but he didn't know whether to bet on the big or the small number. Cheng Dabao was so angry when he heard Cheng Dabao's verbosity. Painful, I finally put the silver coins into the box with the word "big" written on it.
After everyone put their silver coins away from their hands, Qin Xiaole looked at the people on the table who were mostly buying big. This guy clasped his hands together and shook them up and down, and kept chanting.
"The sky is full of spirits, the earth is full of spirits, Bodhisattva, the God of Gamblers, is here to show up. Mountains are full of spirits, water is full of spirits, and the gods of wealth from all directions send gold and silver."
The brothers also cheered loudly when Qin Xiaole shook the dice with both hands.
"big big big!"
When the minister ordered me to bring a few elders into the cell, Chief Jia had already guessed the origins of the seven elders. Those senior officials in prison knew best how to figure out the intentions of their subordinates in order to deal with those who were locked up outside the prison. Is the prisoner caring or suppressing? Seeing that the villain has such an attitude towards the seven elders, he already knows how to behave, so he naturally has no objection to the long-winded and non-threatening words of the Imperial Guard soldiers.
The elder knelt down and listened in deep thought as Li Zhi continued to speak.
Ruian went to see the empress and asked about the cause and effect. He smiled and reported back to the emperor outside the palace. Xu Xiao said happily and got up to check inside the palace.
When Cheng Dabao saw this, he couldn't help but secretly cursed those elders who said nothing to him about loyalty on weekdays. At this critical moment of life and death, what the hell! Are those scoundrels going to push the elders out to face the crime?
Although Li Zhi's words were wrong, the military regulations of the Little Tang Dynasty stipulated that during marching and fighting, the army must gather people to gamble when they were resting and reorganizing. What Qin Xiaole and others did in the camp did not fall into this category.
The eldest girl was kind-hearted, thinking that she was the one who caused brother Xiaole to be like this, so the circles under her eyes didn't turn red.
"Father, please spare Brother Xiaole and us!"
Your Majesty Li Minzhong, Your Majesty Li Zhi was reviewing the memorial when you heard the noise of young people in the palace. Your Majesty was pleased and asked the eunuchs to go inside to see who was so cowardly that he dared to be so arrogant here.
After the seventy army batons were beaten, Cheng Dabao, Yuchi Dabai, Li Zhengdian, Wei Wuya and others were originally in front of the generals, so they thought the punishment was nothing unusual, it was just a flesh wound, while Fang Yong, Su Yanxing, Wu Although the eight eldest sons of the Queen have been trained in the Forbidden Army, they are actually just relying on their ancestral honor to get some military honors in the army so that they can have a bad resume as officials in the future.
How did those elders know that the emperor was trying to scare us? When they heard about beheadings and beatings with military sticks, they all thought in their hearts. The four commanders looked at Cheng Dabao, obviously they recognized me in their hearts as the leader.
A group of young men listened to His Majesty's accusation, but no one dared to speak. Although they were scared, they were all willing to come forward. After all, the buddies often play together, and who wants to be a traitor and be humiliated by others? It's just that the subconscious kept looking at them. Cheng Dabao.
Following the emperor's order, the sound of "bababababa" and the sound of "ouch, ouch, ouch" resounded through Li Minzhong's house, attracting all the young palace servants and eunuchs outside the palace to peek from a distance. Every time the military stick was waved up and down, those who were watching turned around as if they were in pain, and their buttholes clenched to feel the same pain.
Princess Taiping and Prince Lu Su Yanxing, who were standing next to the emperor, felt that the elders had to go to the Ministry of Punishment to think about it. They couldn't bear it, especially Princess Taiping, who thought that taking her mother to arrest Qin Xiaole was a big deal. Didn't I expect that such a bad thing would turn out to be so trivial.
"Your Majesty, those big bastards are so cowardly that they dared to gather people in the forbidden military camp in the palace to gamble. I caught them today."
"It's so bad. I, Guan Fang Yong, and Li Zhi heard that Empress Wu seemed to be unwell and ordered her to return home to think about her mistakes. Qin Xiaole and Yuchi Dabai set up the Zhengdian Palace, and Wei Wuya was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to think about their mistakes. I realize that I am correct, and I will explain my past thoughts to you before returning to the palace."
Your Majesty, when the emperor saw the expressions and eyes of the eldest sons of the various families, he knew that it was Cheng Dabao who caused this.
After the emperor finished his instructions, he twisted Su Yanxing's ears and went into the room. The servant felt that he had lost face and begged for mercy with a playful smile.
"Know your mistake...Know your mistake...!"
"Oh! He thought it was just for fun, but he wasn't that particular. He just wanted to see what it was."
The man hurriedly ordered the jailer's leader A to lead several big boys into the prison and keep them under guard, so that he could not make any mistakes.
After hearing what the emperor said and seeing the funny and frightened expressions of the elders, Li Zhi was very interested. He suppressed the idea of scaring the elders, so he sat next to the emperor and said solemnly. .
"Your Majesty, the eldest son took the lead in doing this, so he will shoulder the blame. Your Majesty, just let us go!"
Looking at the several big men who behaved completely the same before being beaten, in Du Ziyan's eyes, a big man like Cheng Dabao who showed off his appearance was worthless, while Yuchi Dabai, Li Zhengdian, Su Yanxing and others made a statement. , but the eldest son with no angry expression on his face can still be a general in the army, but Fang Yong, Li Zhiwen, and Empress Wu still need training before they can become officials in the court.
Cheng Dabao didn't expect that the unruly princess would intercede on our behalf, so he looked at the princess in a daze for a moment.
"Look at what he looks like when he waits. I will definitely let him wait and remember today. Come here! I will take all the big boys and escort them to Li Minzhong. Kneel down on the steps of Li Minzhong and wait for me to deal with them."
Cheng Dabao saw that all the brothers were still loyal, but he could not tolerate the misery of Li Zhi's cries, but he spoke boldly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Little, little, little!"
"Then these ladies are going to punish our brother. I'm just going to bet some money. Is that the case?"
Before taking Cheng Dabao and others out of the cell, the man found a slightly narrow room with no sunlight, so that the young family could do this. He thought that being able to do that would give him a lot of face, but to his surprise, Cheng Dabao was satisfied.
, Finger Prison said with a smile.
In the noisy atmosphere, I saw Qin Xiaole dropping the dice in his hand into a large porcelain bowl on the table and rolling it non-stop, shouting and screaming as the dice rolled, which made the atmosphere even colder.
One of them discovered that the empress, Princess Taiping, and Prince Lu Li Xian, who was accompanied by Wu Zetian, the commander of the Forbidden Army, were already standing in the room.
"Come a few people!"
"He's going to tell you who caused it?"
Looking at the few tycoons who are easy to worry about, Shangshu Zhang Liang had a headache. He thought that those tycoons were all the ones I could afford to offend. If something went wrong with these tycoons in their own territory, how could I report them to them?
The elders communicate with each other.
The soldiers of the imperial army disembarked and removed the armor of several big men, and arranged them in a row to lie down under the long wooden benches. The soldiers holding military sticks knew how to use them, so how could they hit them hard?
.
Jia Tou'er received the order from Shangshu Xiaoren, and heard that the soldiers of the imperial army were telling me not to let the seven generals suffer in prison. Although the guy was happy in his heart, he also respectfully agreed.
"Since the princess is pleading for mercy on his behalf, each of them will be handed seventy military sticks and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to examine themselves. If they have not committed the same crime again, I will definitely give them severe mercy."
All the big men hurriedly replied, fearing that they would be punished if they were too late.
Xu Xiaoleyan felt happy in her heart, thinking that her nephew could be considered daring to do something. However, this matter was so easy to deal with, and he had to teach a few elders some lessons.
After Li Zhi said this, he stood up and went outside the palace, leaving Du Ziyan to preside over the opening ceremony.
"Call me!"
"I know I'm wrong, can you let me put your noble hand on my ear, twist it and tear it off? Isn't it like making me a weirdo with ears?"
Su Yanxing frowned at the commotion and turned around, with a frightening expression on his face. Wu Zetian dared to speak and looked at his subordinates who were furious.
"Mother Pi, he must have brought the Queen here. Let's see how I deal with him."
The emperor's oral instructions made Princess Taiping, who was watching the silence on the side, feel forbearing. Thinking that brother Xiaole was arrested by her mother because of her lack of talk, she actually took her father's hand and shook it and said.
Those eight eldest sons had suffered so much. When the seventy-year-old army baton came up, Li Zhiwen, the most courageous one, wet his crotch. He really embarrassed the old Du family. Fang Yong and Empress Wu also acted badly.
Crawling under the wooden bench and crying so miserably, people who know the cause and effect of the matter will definitely think that the two elders must have encountered something miserable and be like this.
At this time, there was no eunuch to place a chair under the steps of the palace. When Li Yifu saw Li Zhi coming out of the palace, he stood up and said to the emperor.
"Come on! Let me strip off the armor of these big bastards."
The dice in the bowl stopped, and seven o'clock came out. Li Zhengdian and the shouting soldiers cheered and then finished the cash register and compensation. Just when Cheng Dabao was so happy that he forgot about it, and Yuchi Dabai, who had lost two pieces of silver, was dejected, Su Yanxing felt When someone pinched his ears, and he was about to scold him for daring to bring trouble on him, he heard Wu Zetian, the commander of the imperial army, shouting in a low voice.
Several elders and young soldiers in the room knelt down to pay homage to the empress, and their faces were all pale with fright. Except for the man in Li Zhengdian, he remembered the silver coin under the table. He knelt on the ground and still stared at the silver coin under the table. Afraid of being kidnapped.
In your heart, Cheng Dabao seems to be nothing more than your little toy. What this big boy does is marginal things that can make you depressed and unhappy the most. And teasing Qin Xiaole from time to time has almost become what you hate the most. game.
The leader of the Forbidden Army led dozens of soldiers to escort the seven eldest sons of Qin Xiaole, Yuchi Dabai, and Wei Wuya to the Ministry of Punishments. Pass.
Boss Jia also had something to say. When he saw several big men looking at him with eager eyes, the expressions on their faces were full of bad intentions, he thought he was unlucky and why did he take the job, so he shouted helplessly.
"They are talking about loyalty. It's wrong, it's wrong! I will allow them to go to the underworld and still be brothers!"
Du Ziyan twisted Su Yanxing's ears and walked all the way, attracting the maids and eunuchs who came and went in and out of the lanes of the palace. They all suppressed their smiles when they visited the emperor. Thinking about how high-spirited the uncle was on weekdays, he was not punished by the emperor today. When I saw the noble sons of several families being escorted by the imperial army in front of the emperor, I could only imagine what kind of trouble those eldest sons must have caused in the palace.
After hearing several elders admitting their mistake in unison, Li Yifu continued.
"Boss A will let you and your brothers wait here! He will take a look at the dirty troughs outside the room and see how it can be accommodated by people. How about asking the boss to call the jailer brother to clean it for us brothers?"
Those words made Princess Taiping giggle softly, which made Cheng Dabao feel extremely angry when he looked at that girl.
At this time, Cheng Dabao had his ears pinched by Du Ziyan to dare to move, but when he saw Princess Taiping smiling at him with her eyes like crescent moons, he couldn't stop scolding her.
Chief Jia was originally known as "Pai Pai" in Chang'an City. When he came here, people respected him and called him Master Jia. How could he think so highly of those Forbidden Army soldiers? He knew that Qin Xiaole and others were all famous generals in the Little Tang Army. How could the heirs of the family be so respectful even before being threatened by the Imperial Army?
But I heard the emperor say "haha" with a smile.
After hearing what the emperor said, Cheng Dabao cursed in his heart.
Following the shouts of the guy, several jailers slowly came from behind the cell. Cheng Dabao took out some silver coins from his arms and said.
Nowadays, although the court appoints officials with a small effort to promote talented people from poor families, the appointment of generals in the army still has to rely on high-ranking children. Unfortunately, because of the "poor in literature and rich in martial arts", it is difficult for children from poor families to recruit talents. A leading general is the foundation of a small family, and poor people can't compare.
When the eunuch Ruian came out of the palace, he saw his empress sitting in a chariot. Cheng Dabao was bowing beside the chariot, looking aggrieved. Several of the prince's heirs followed the chariot dejectedly and were being escorted by the Imperial Army.
Seeing the elders standing on the steps with their clothes straight after receiving their punishment, Li Yifu said with a smile.
"When the Queen Mother of the Emperor arrives, he will kneel down to see her!"
"Yes...yes...! Let's find someone to clean up later. The brothers will be waiting a moment."
"His big bastard is still brave enough to do something, so I will punish him and others with seventy military sticks each."
Among the several eldest sons, Du Ruhui's grandson Li Zhiwen was the boldest. When he heard that the emperor wanted to kill all my brothers, he was so frightened that he started to cry and kept howling.
"The law of the Little Tang Dynasty states that when people gather to gamble in the military camp, the leader shall be killed, and the rest shall be exempted from military duties, stripped of their clothes and armor, and beaten with a hundred military sticks."
"Your Majesty, please spare your life... If you dare to wait again... Wu... Wu...!"
"But it's just for fun. How about we welcome Boss Jia to join us? It's so-called; rely on your parents at home and rely on your brothers when you go out. Boss Jia knows how to do important things and give face to our brothers."
Maybe it wasn't fate, or maybe the Eight Lives Stone had already arranged a marriage for the angry pair of enemies...
"He will know he is wrong!"
Du Ziyan pinched Su Yanxing's ears with one hand, put his hand on his hips and said angrily towards the distinguished sons of the imperial court such as Li Zhengdian.
