After a long time, Xiao Ye stopped and looked at Zhou Chengze who was lying on the ground with several broken ribs and said: "I hate people who cheat the most in my life! Let's see if you dare to cheat next time! From now on.
If I catch you again, I will beat you every time I see you!"
Zhou Chengze, who was lying on the ground, was stubborn. In the end, he sobbed incoherently and blood came from the corner of his mouth. However, he still stubbornly said: "Didn't His Highness say that he hates people who bully others the most..."
Xiao Ye: "How dare you talk back?!"
Suddenly, Zhou Chengze's cry of pain started again.
finally
Xiao Ye walked away and murmured as he walked: "I feel much better! The Cui family, the Wang family, and the Qian family all used to make over a thousand yuan, and finally have something to do!"
on the ground
Zhou Chengze, who was lying on the ground, also murmured: "Brother Cui, Brother Wang, Brother Qian, I'm sorry, I have no choice but to survive."
Zhou Mansion
Zhou Chengze was carried home by the soldiers patrolling the streets.
The Minister of Rites looked at being carried to the bedroom and already packed up by the doctor. Ahem, Zhou Chengze was bandaged and said in surprise: "You, how did you become like this?!"
Zhou Chengze cried and cried: "Father, he is the virtuous prince, Xiao Ye! The child has no enmity or enmity against him, but he actually..."
The Minister of Rites nodded: "It turns out that I accidentally fell when I met His Highness the Crown Prince while walking. You see, you are not careful on weekdays either."
Zhou Chengze was stunned for a moment: "Father, what the child just said was..."
The Minister of Rites sighed and said, "It hurts a lot, doesn't it?"
Zhou Chengze: "Father, actually my child..."
"Does it hurt or not?!"
"pain!"
The Minister of Rites looked at his second son and said: "If it hurts, please remember it longer. Be careful next time. If you encounter a bumpy road, remember to avoid it if you encounter a stone on the road. Do you know? You can be tripped by the same stone."
How could I have such a stupid son like you after falling down so many times?"
"By the way, where did you fall?"
Zhou Chengze, who was lying on the bed, innocently moved the few movable organs on his body - his eyes, and said: "The entrance of Yongxing Gambling House."
The face of the Minister of Etiquette suddenly changed: "You fell down at Yongxing Gambling House?! Didn't I tell you not to go out and mess around when you have nothing to do? You deserve the fall! As a father, you will still be dishonest in the future!"
Zhou Chengze said innocently: "Why are the children acting so mischievously? The children were beaten... and fell into this state, but you don't care at all, but you care about a broken gambling house!"
The Minister of Etiquette said: "My father is really too arrogant to you these days. When you recover from your injury, my father will find you a husband. Your eldest brother has won the imperial examination this year, and you are still a white man. From now on, at home,
Study hard."
Zhou Chengze stared blankly at his father walking out with his arms behind his back, an expression of disbelief on his face. Unfortunately, because his whole head was packed into a bowling ball, except for his nose, eyes and mouth, what expression was there?
Can't even see it.
What Zhou Chengze didn't understand was that he clearly didn't bully men or women, let alone use his power to bully others. Didn't he just give out a few thousand?
Even if you are caught, it is not against the law, let alone being a cheater. The "Da Chu Law Order" does not care about gambling, so why should he, Xiao Ye, hit people?!
Moreover, I have become like this, and I will be scolded again when I come back.
Is there any more justice?
In the study
The Minister of Rites could not sit still.
How could His Royal Highness go to Yongxing Gambling House for no reason?
His Highness the Crown Prince has never gone to places like gambling houses before!
Could it be that the prince discovered some clues about Yongxing Gambling House?
If that's the case, I'm afraid I have to make preparations early! No, I have to inform Brother Cui and Brother Qian as soon as possible!
The Minister of Rites couldn't help but panic. If it was any other gambling house, it would be fine, but when it came to Yongxing Gambling House, he had to panic, because Yongxing Gambling House was a place used by some ministers to launder money!
What is money laundering? It is to add a legal identity to money of unknown origin!
Eighty-nine percent of the officials in the court have more or less money of unknown origin. This money cannot be spent directly, and it can easily be seized by your majesty, princes, and even political opponents.
Because of this, they needed someone to attribute the money of unknown origin to a reasonable and legal origin.
for example:
Where did this money come from?
That was won by my second son from gambling!
Won it? How come he is so lucky and can win so much?
Yes, I am still wondering! Why is this guy so lucky? But he is lucky, are you angry?
…
The audit turmoil a few days ago really frightened them! Now, at the slightest sign of trouble, everything will be turned upside down.
After the audit incident was over, he asked the younger members of his family to stay calm when going out and not to cause any more trouble.
But his second son didn't understand the meaning of his words at all, so he went to Yongxing Gambling House?
Although it is not illegal, if you go to another gambling house, you will die!
No, if you lose after changing to another company, you will really lose money!
Alas, my second son is also stupid. He will believe whatever he says. If he doesn't say anything, he won't even think about it.
Fortunately, there is a boss above, otherwise, if such a huge family property is handed over to the boss, it may be wiped out by others within a few months.
It's pity that he is in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Although he is also a minister, the Ministry of Rites is a famous Qingshui Yamen, and the money he can get out of the treasury is really pitiful!
Now, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the little money I have left!
Prince Xian's Mansion
"Six hundred and sixty-six taels of silver?" King Xian was stunned, looked at Xiao Ye and said, "Who did you just say won six hundred and sixty-six taels?"
Xiao Ye took the rice served by the maid and stuffed it into his mouth: "Don't talk when you eat or sleep. You said this is the rule."
Wise King: "This rule is abolished for half an hour."
Xiao Ye: "?!"
In the end, forced by the power, Xiao Ye sighed and had to tell the story again, and then complained: "That Zhou Chengze is right, what you gamble on on the gambling table is not luck, but what you gamble on is power!"
The Wise King: "Why do I feel that you are criticizing Huaihuai?"
Xiao Ye shook his head quickly: "Father, do you feel wrong? I definitely don't mean this."
The wise king said: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this gambling house."
Xiao Ye: "Yeah, it's really abominable to squeeze money from poor gamblers so that dignitaries can win, and then use the money to flatter those dignitaries!"
The Xian King sighed and looked at Xiao Ye and said: "You should learn from Xu Qing. You should think more when things happen. Don't just believe what others say. I have been spurring you overtly and secretly for so long, but you are still so unclear.
I don’t know how to think about things. Tell me how I will hand over the throne and military power to you in the future!"
Xiao Ye was stunned: "Ah? Is the throne really given to me?"
King Xian was stunned when he heard this question. What is this guy talking about? Is there any other candidate besides himself?
