The moon is bright and the night is still young

Chapter 18

After all, paper cannot contain the fire, and no matter how tall the city wall is, it will be difficult to block the draft.The letter sent by Feige from Mu Mansion finally landed in front of the window of Hande Hall.Mu Xiwen couldn't wait to unfold the letter paper, the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't hide his joy.

The eyeliner who sneaked into the Hengyuan store was indeed the candidate selected by General Mu. He was cautious and efficient in his work, and after several months, he finally found out the clues of the Hengyuan store.It turns out that the Hengyuan store is just a source of income that the Qi family placed on the surface. In fact, they run a large-scale underground casino in private, and the casino only accepts dignitaries or wealthy dudes.The casino has been taken over by Gao Wei for many years, and he has made a lot of money from the operation of the casino these years.Also because of the existence of this casino, many wives and children were separated and their families were destroyed due to gambling.

Ji Guo's law expressly prohibits the opening of casinos. If it is light, the family will be ransacked and exiled, and if it is serious, the whole family will be implicated. It is a felony.This is the key to overthrowing the power of the Qi family in one fell swoop. How could the queen not notice the evidence that even the Mu family's eyeliner inserted halfway could find it.

Because you can't pull it.

This Queen Guo is the daughter of Ji Guoda Wenxiang, an absolute nobleman, although her appearance is not first-class outstanding, but she was educated strictly since she was a child. Be strong in your life.How could such a woman tolerate a merchant's daughter riding on her head as a domineering power.

The culprit who caused Queen Guo to swallow her anger was her own brother Guo Fang.

The two children of the great Wenxiang are really different in their behavior and style. The younger sister is dignified and stable, and she is motivated, but the elder brother has no intention of studying and is only interested in drinking and meat women.The younger sister entered the palace as the mother of the world, and the older brother didn't know how to share the worries of the younger sister and the family, and still squandered money every day with women.It wasn't until Guo Fangfang met a few dandies who were addicted to gambling in Liuxiang, Huajie, and was bewitched by others, he followed them into the underground casino with the mentality of watching the excitement.There are a lot of fish and dragons in the casino, no one will have the strength to hold back when someone comes, but this touch is often overwhelming.

When the people from the casino stepped into Guo's mansion to collect debts, the aged Da Wenxiang looked at the account book that was thrown in front of his eyes and only recorded the debt owed by Guo Fang, which was comparable to a book, and then learned that his good son What did you do.It's fine to owe money, but the amount owed is so much, it's fine, but the casino is still run by Qi Guifei, the queen's deadly rival, Qi's family.For a while, the Guo family was seized by the Qi family, and was forced to hand over the gambling debts, which were almost half of the family property.For this reason, Da Wenxiang was so anxious that he fell seriously ill and almost died.The letter was sent to the palace, and Queen Guo was so angry that she fainted on the spot.Originally, Concubine Qi relied on her youthful beauty and flirtatious ability, but the teasing monarch had already ignored the existence of her as a queen, and she was determined to give birth to a prince, and now her brother was caught by the Qi family again.The successive blows made Queen Guo overwhelmed, and she was haggard for several years overnight.

Fortunately in the misfortune, the queen gave birth to a vigorous son. Gao Yanzong knew about his mother's distress, and in order to relieve his mother's worries, he has been trying to find out and catch the Qi family.In the end, Gao Yanzong found out that the Qi family had been taking bribes privately, using the power of a noble concubine to seek official positions in the palace.Since they are all the handles of harming each other, the two sides chose to reach harmony on the surface.

"From this point of view, it is very likely that Gao Yanzong also discovered Wei Zixian's plot to seek an official, and Gao Wei also probably listened to Gao Yanzong's instigation. Gao Yanzong has been in good health and has not taken medicine for many years. You are the only one who is most suitable for decoction. Medicine Jars, then get rid of you, the eye-obscuring guy who prevents them from marrying the first daughter of the Mu family." Mu Xiwen teased Gao Qi with a smile, but Gao Qi was not angry, and leaned closer to Mu Xiwen with a smirk, and opened his mouth lightly. Bite her ear.Mu Xiwen's face flushed instantly, her most sensitive part became numb, so she hurriedly begged for mercy.Gao Qi put his arms around her waist, and stared directly at her with deep eyes, "It's a gift from heaven to have this beauty, and it's worth scolding someone who is an eyesore."
