The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 282 Black Gambling House

Little Niqiu just said that he had resisted the urge to cry when he passed by, but Xuemei's last sentence broke his defense.

Rubbing his face with his thick sleeve, he looked away to hide the sadness on his face.

Xuemei stared at Little Nixiu's thick padded jacket, it was very old and dirty, but she made a new one for him and hid it in the cabinet in her room.

I forgot to bring it when I came out in a hurry.

This silent atmosphere lasted for a long time, and each of them had something to worry about.

In the end, Xuemei changed the subject and asked, "Then... where is Tianba's illegal gambling house?"

The empress just asked her to come out and ask who was behind these beggars, so she had to ask to find out the truth.

After finishing speaking, Little Niach turned around, wiped his sleeves and said, "Tianba and his gang opened a black gambling shop in the west of the city, in the yard next to Wang Xing's blacksmith shop."

He also only knew the location of the black gambling house, but he had never entered it, and he did not dare to approach it.

Then he said: "This black gambling house is not running a business. Those who can't pay back the money either lost their lives or bet their wives and children to the gambling house."

Xuemei frowned after hearing this, how can a man be so cowardly that he even escorts his wife and children out!
"Then will they come to redeem their wives and children?" Xuemei really didn't know what the people in the gambling shop wanted their wives and children for.

Little Loach shook his head and said, "Naturally, it is impossible to come to redeem."

Then he pursed his lips hesitantly, he was afraid that he would scare Xuemei if he said it, but out of selfishness, he wanted to tell Xuemei all the sins of these people.

Because he knew that Xuemei was from the Prince Regent's House, no wonder Xuemei didn't tell him when he asked who her master was before.

The Prince Regent's Mansion is the official mansion area. It's hard to inquire about people like him no matter how much gossip is, and he doesn't care.

At first he only thought that Xuemei was a foolish girl who was easy to deceive, but later he began to think that Xuemei was pretty good, and then he would feel guilty every time he got money from her.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Your master will take care of this." Then he asked with some uncertainty, "Is that right?"

"Naturally, none of these villains will be able to escape!" Xuemei vowed.

She knew her own mother, and she would definitely take care of things like this. Even after she heard the truth about these things, she felt resentful towards Tianba and the others.

Seeing this, Little Niqiu said: "Gamblers will sell girls to brothels, and boys will break their legs and go out to beg, and those debtors' wives who are good-looking will also be sent to brothels, and ordinary-looking ones will stay and have children. There are also sales channels for the baby Tianba born."

He inquired about these things. At first, he thought about reporting to the government, but when the people at the gate of the government saw him, they kicked him out, and they didn't listen to what he had to say.

Just because he was dressed in rags, the government didn't want to deal with a beggar at all.

And after he was caught several times, he also understood a truth, even if Tianba and his gang were caught by the government, nothing would happen.

As long as the money is used, the government will always release him, just like the government released him directly after the money on his body was seized.

And that knife scar has earned so much money, I'm afraid people who bribe the government will not be a problem.

Now he has a plan, the regent is deeply loved by the people, although he thought it was just boasting before.

Just like Jingzhao Fu Yin, some people praised him as an upright official.

But he would like to believe it again.
