C142 Zhao Qianli

1After leaving Ruyi Casino, Chu Yun didn't hide his tracks.

He walked out of the door with more than sixty thousand silver taels, leisurely wandering around the western city. Not long after he left, Chu Yun noticed. Someone was following behind him.

Furthermore, the strength of the person who came was surprisingly not bad. He was at the Mountain Sea Stage level.

This made Chu Yun a little surprised.

No matter where it was, Mountain Sea Stage martial artists could be regarded as the mainstay. Even among those major powers, they were the absolute middle and even the upper echelons.

This Ruyi Casino was just a small gambling den in the outer and outer city of Jinxia City. It was truly regrettable that it was able to mobilize such an expert. The prefectural cities were different.

However. . .

Even though it was an accident, it was still too funny to say what kind of threat the stalker could pose to Chu Yun.

Chu Yun walked across a few streets. He sped up and disappeared from the stalker's sight.

"He ran away?!"

The stalker hid behind a street corner. When he saw Chu Yun suddenly disappear in front of him, his expression changed.

It wasn't strange for him to be able to detect Chu Yun's presence. In fact, he didn't need to be very strong to know that Ruyi Casino would definitely send someone to follow him.

However, being able to know was one thing, but being able to suddenly disappear right under his nose was another. He had no idea how he did it.

"Hey. "

At this moment, Someone behind him gently patted his shoulder.

The stalker shivered, and his hair stood on end. The intense sense of danger caused him to react in the most intense way possible. He circulated all of the energy in his body, and the Martial Spirit's Soul Light was about to explode. It was about to launch its most ferocious attack.

But. . .

As the hand gently tapped on his forehead, all the violent storms suddenly disappeared.

When the slender and powerful finger moved away from the stalker's head, a bloody hole appeared on the forehead of the stalker. The penetrating finger force pierced through his brain.

Before the stalker fell to the ground with a thud, Chu Yun pressed his hand against the stalker's chest and supported him to sit on the ground. He lowered his head and pretended to be in a deep sleep.

After that, Chu Yun put the 60,000 silver that looked like bait in the storage space of the system. He patted his empty hands and twisted his neck.

"Since you have decided to kill me as soon as possible, you should be prepared to welcome me, right?"

The corner of Chu Yun's lips curved up. He looked at the corpse that was sitting on the ground and asked as if he was talking to himself.

A little later.

The sky gradually darkened. The Ruyi Casino in the West District opened its door once again.

Not long after Chu Yun left the gambling den, Old Soong ordered his men to open the door again. As usual, he continued to welcome the guests as if nothing had happened.

In Old Soong's opinion, the gambling den had sent out their strongest expert to assassinate Chu Yun. Even a Mountain Sea Stage expert had gone there personally. How could a young brat like Chu Yun survive?

Furthermore, if Ruyi Casino was really locked up for a day, not to mention the loss of benefits, the name of the gambling den wouldn't be pleasant to the ears.

But. . .

What made Old Soong angry was that what happened during the day had caused a huge impact to the Ruyi Casino. Among the guests, about thirty percent of the regular customers did not come. One should know that gamblers who were considered 'regular customers' were basically people who loved gambling. Every day, they wished they could stay in the gambling den.

However, when the door opened again this afternoon, none of them came back.

It wasn't that they didn't know, but that they didn't come.

Old Soong understood that this was because of the bet between Chu Yun and him, causing the beliefs of many gamblers to collapse. When they saw that someone was able to control the result of the bet, this bet itself lost its meaning. Thus, many of them came to a realization, and thus, they didn't come again.

But. . .

Although it was a pity, Old Soong did not feel despair.

Because, it was only thirty percent.

The remaining seventy percent of the regular customers would choose to deceive themselves when they knew all of this and continue to gamble.

The interesting part was here. For these gamblers, many times, when they were addicted to something, even if they knew it was harmful, they would not hesitate to do it. Human thinking was not always led by reason. More often, the dark side of desire and human nature would easily devour them.

"Get Ma San over here"

Old Soong looked at the hall that was not full and said to a servant.

The servant immediately agreed when he heard this. After a short while, he brought a stout hooligan in front of Old Soong.

"Master Song, are you looking for me?"

Ma San bowed and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Old Soong glanced at him and said, "Ask your men to move. Lately, bring more guests over. "

. . . "Hehe, I understand. "

Ma San nodded, then paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Master Song, do you still remember that poor scholar I brought last time? After he lost all his belongings, he sold his wife to the gambling den for 50 taels of silver. That young woman has a good taste. If she hasn't been sold to the brothels, I think. . . Hehe. . . "

" Heh, you little bastard, you actually know how to bargain with me and let you do things, how would I lose your benefits? However, you won't be able to see that woman. "

Old Soong shook his head.

"Huh?"

Ma San's face was full of pity. He smacked his lips and seemed to be reminiscing. He said, "Already sold?"

. . . "It ran away!"

When Old Soong said this, he was also a little angry. He cursed in a low voice, "What a bunch of trash. To be able to make a woman who does not have the strength to truss out, they have not found her yet. "

When Ma San heard this, his heart was filled with astonishment. He was wondering what kind of means did that little lady have to escape from the hands of the gambling den's people.

"Lord Song, don't be angry. Leave this matter to me, Ma San. I will definitely chase that woman back!"

Ma San immediately patted his chest and promised.

"Hurry up and get lost. You can find someone, but don't delay my business. Otherwise, you know the consequences. "

Old Soong waved his hand. Ma San immediately nodded with a smile and left.

Ma San was not from the gambling den. In fact, he had a 'cooperative' relationship with the gambling den, and he specialized in helping the gambling den do some shady business.

Ma San had many people like him under his command, and they only had one thing in common. They had lost everything in the gambling den and lost their lives, just like the poor scholar Zhao Zhi.

However, there was one difference between them and Zhao Zhi. Ma San had thought of them as' promising talents', who were smart and eloquent. With a little bit of training, they would become qualified 'water ghosts', and help the gambling dens get people to join them.

Whenever the gambling den needed them, Ma San would ask someone like him to go out and lure others into the abyss of gambling. He would use all of their money and even their families.

Because this kind of work was too dirty, the gambling den was also afraid that they would be involved in this matter, so they never admitted the relationship between Ma San and Ruyi Casino.

Although everyone knew who Ma San was doing this for, at least when it came to the government, there was not enough evidence to prove this point.

When Chu Yun came to the West District and saw the brightly lit gambling den from afar, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Where did they get their confidence from? They think that the three-legged cat can get rid of me?"

Chu Yun touched his chin in surprise.

After that, he lifted his foot and was about to walk into the gambling den when a thunderous sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded at the street where the gambling den was located.

Chu Yun followed the sound and saw a group of people in government uniform. They were riding tall horses to the entrance of Ruyi Casino. The leader of the group didn't even get off his horse and directly rode his horse into the entrance of the gambling den. He knocked the two panicking servants away and smashed a few gambling tables.

The sudden appearance of this scene naturally shocked all the gamblers in the gambling den. Old Soong, who was standing on the second floor, had a change of expression on his face.

"Which yamen are you from? Why did you barge into my Ruyi Casino?"

Old Soong went downstairs and arrived at the entrance.

The official riding on a big horse glanced at Old Soong and said, "I am Sun Yi, the chief of the Beicheng yamen. I have been ordered to seal off Ruyi Casino. All unrelated people should leave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the panicked gamblers in the hall immediately fled from the side doors of the Ruyi Casino. Soon, only Old Soong and the men from the gambling den were left in the Ruyi Casino.

"Chief Sun, my Ruyi Casino is located in the West District. Even if I have committed a crime, Chief Lu of the West District should be the one to bring my men here. What right do you have to interfere in my business and come to the West District to arrest my men?"

Old Soong's face was full of anger and confusion. Logically speaking, every government office in the city wouldn't extend their hands to the other districts without permission. Not only was this not in accordance with the rules, it was also easy to offend the government office in the city.

The reason why Ruyi Casino could be so prosperous in the West District was because more than half of the profits in Ruyi Casino had entered into the pockets of the various lords in the West District yamen.

In exchange, the West District's government office naturally had to ensure that Ruyi Casino was safe and sound.

But now. . .

Why did the people from the Beicheng's yamen come to the West District to cause trouble for them?

"Don't talk about those useless things. You have offended the wrong person, do you understand?"

Chief Sun sneered. As soon as he finished speaking, a figure wearing fine clothes walked leisurely across the Ruyi Casino's gate. As soon as he entered and sized up the surroundings, he instantly clicked his tongue and smacked his lips.

Old Soong turned his head and saw the figure, and his expression instantly changed because he'd recognized the identity of this young man, and his heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

"World, Crown Prince. . . "

Old Soong stuttered, and his eyeballs almost fell to the ground. His heart was filled with astonishment.

If one were to ask who was the most respected person in the Jinxia City of Daming Mansion, those who didn't know might say the word 'Prefecture Master', but in reality, it wasn't.

In the Jinxia City, the person with the most prestigious status was the Prince Cheng De from the Princess Qi Mansion.

Imperial family! Direct descendant, His Royal Highness!

Just these few keywords alone caused the ordinary civilians to be so scared that they could not even stand still.

And this young man in front of him was the second prince of the Princess Qi Mansion. . .

Zhao Qianli!

Chief Sun patted his shoulder and said, "Now you know who your Ruyi Casino has offended, right? Cut the crap. Bring me to the accounts at the back. Crown Prince wants the accounts of your Ruyi Casino. "0

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Soong's eyes were filled with despair as he spoke with a hoarse voice. "What did our Ruyi Casino do wrong to make Crown Prince come here personally?"

"Is that so. . . "

Zhao Qianli touched his chin and smiled playfully. He said, "I don't know what I did wrong, but after checking the accounts of your gambling den, I will know what I did wrong. "

As soon as these words left his mouth, Old Soong's eyes widened and his breathing became heavy. What kind of words were these? They didn't know what they had done wrong, but they had actually barged in?

They even said that they didn't know what the gambling den had done wrong and that they would find out after checking it out. . . Wasn't it obvious that they had come here on purpose to pick a fight?

"Crown Prince, what you are doing is against the rules!"

Old Soong stared at him and said.

"I told you, cut the crap. "

Sun Yi frowned. He stepped forward and a big hand pushed Old Soong away like a wall. He then led a team of bailiffs and rushed through the hall, heading towards the courtyard behind.

In places like gambling dens, most of the people in the main building were uninvited guests. There was nothing important to them. Places like the bank account were usually built outside. As the head of the police, Sun Yi was naturally aware of this.

"You can't do this, you can't do this. . . "

Old Soong was pushed away and followed with red eyes.

A group of people rushed to the backyard. Chief Sun waved his hand and sent people to search the rooms one by one.

"Search! Don't let go of any clues!"

Chief Sun said in a deep voice.

Old Soong's guess was right. Today, they were here to cause trouble. According to Crown Prince's request, no matter what, they had to destroy the Ruyi Casino today.

To the yamen, it was too easy to do such a thing. How could the gambling dens be clean? How could they be clean?

Even if it was a place with no problems, if the yamen really wanted to use all their might to investigate, they would be able to find out the problem, not to mention that it was a gambling den. In a place like the gambling den, which did not have many clean places to begin with?

Basically, as long as one obtained the account book and casually flipped through it, they would be able to sentence more than ten serious crimes to Ruyi Casino. That would not be a problem at all.

"That's right. "

Zhao Qianli touched his chin and seemed to have thought of something. He said, "I heard from my maidservant that there is a person called Ma San in this gambling den. He has committed a heinous crime. You must arrest this person later. As for the charges. . . There is no need to sentence him too severely. After all kinds of serious punishments, just arrange for him to be executed after the autumn festival. "
