Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 438 Do you know Xiaoyao Building?

As soon as Chu Ze said this, the hall fell silent.

Shopkeeper Feng, who was still arrogant just now, suddenly became dumb.

Even the county master couldn't stop sweating.

Everyone knows that the Ming Dynasty banned gambling.

But here, this prohibition has not been taken seriously by anyone.

Including him, the county magistrate.

Even when shopkeeper Feng stood in the lobby and took out the IOU to sue Wang Hai, he didn't think of this.

No one else, because this Yunfan gambling house has existed for many years.

And it has a background.

Both local officials and common people acquiesced to their existence.

At this time, being broken by Chu Ze so little, everyone just woke up like a dream.

Shopkeeper Feng was also silent for a long time.

After a while, he raised his chin, looked at Chu Ze contemptuously, and said, "Hey, what temple god are you from, come here to meddle in your own business? How many years have we been walking in this world?" Now, it's your turn to threaten us here?"

"Master County, hurry up and drive this kid out of the hall."

No matter where this person came from, there are people behind him, don't be afraid.

Shopkeeper Feng is full of confidence.

The county master: "..."

The county master hurriedly got up, went to Chu Ze and Zhu Xi and knelt down: "My lords, please forgive me, this matter, this matter..." He didn't know how to explain this matter.

If he hadn't made trouble in front of them, he might have been able to explain.

But now it was caught by someone.

How to explain this?
No explanation, plead guilty.

And drive people out of the lobby?
It was their kindness that they didn't pick off their black yarn on the spot.

Seeing the magistrate's behavior, shopkeeper Feng realized belatedly that the identities of the two of them might be even higher than his resemblance.

I don't know if the person behind him can hold back.

"Let's talk about the county master, as an official of our Ming Dynasty, don't you even know the laws of Ming Dynasty? Gambling is banned in our Ming Dynasty, and gambling is being strictly investigated everywhere. There are still people openly opening casinos in your place. You It’s the end of the day for being an official.”

Chu Ze glanced at the county magistrate, his voice slightly lowered, as if a little displeased.

The county master was so frightened that his heart almost jumped out.

He kowtowed again and again, and said repeatedly in his mouth: "The lower official is guilty, the lower official is guilty."

Chu Ze watched him kowtow for a while, and then lazily said: "Come on, don't kowtow, there are still unfinished cases here, get up first and continue the trial."

The county master stood up tremblingly.

Just as he was about to turn around and return to the public case, his footsteps suddenly stopped again.

He looked at Chu Ze hesitantly.

Chu Ze: "What's the matter, we didn't pick off your black yarn on the spot, you don't like it, do you?"

"No, no." The county master quickly waved his hands and explained with a troubled face, "How should we judge this matter?"

"Ah!"

Zhu Xi was so angry that he rolled his eyes: "How did you become a county magistrate? You have to ask us about such a trivial matter?"

"That's right." Chu Ze leaned over and praised in a low voice, and gave Zhu Xi a thumbs up by the way.

This man has been an official for so many years, and he can't even handle such a small case well.

It seems that this person, believe it or not, has to be replaced.

The county magistrate was scolded by Zhu Yu, and he didn't dare to say anything. He shrank his neck, returned to the case honestly, and began to try the case.

"Master Feng, it is already illegal for you to set up a gambling house privately. I judge that this IOU cannot be established, and the accounts between you and Wang Hai will be cancelled. In addition, you set up a gambling house, and those who open a gambling house according to the law of the Ming Dynasty can break the law." Both wrists, sent to Xiaoyao Building."

The gavel slapped, and the county master yelled: "Come here, break his wrists for me, and send him to Xiaoyao Building immediately!"

"Yes!"

"No, no, sir, you can't treat us like this. We belong to Master Bai. Master Bai and Master Shen have always been on good terms. If you touch us, Master Shen will have your head right away! No, let's not go to Xiaoyao Building, let's not go to Xiaoyao Building!" Seeing the approaching guards, Feng Shang became anxious.

He struggled hard, shouting loudly.

Trying to threaten the magistrate of the county, asking him to spare himself.

The magistrate of the county can't protect himself now, so he can't care about the master Bai and master Shen. What he cares about are these two masters sitting here!
When the county master finished the case, Mrs. Wang and Li were overjoyed.

She pulled her son and kowtowed to Chu Ze continuously: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me." Chu Ze interrupted her, glanced at Wang Hai, and then asked Wang Lishi, "Do you know Xiaoyao Tower?"

Mrs. Wang Li is just a country woman, so she doesn't know so much.

She even knew the name Xiaoyaolou just now.

Judging by Shopkeeper Feng's appearance, it's probably not a good place.

Wang Lishi thought for a while, then raised her head timidly: "Prison?"

Chu Ze bowed his head: "Yes, and no."

"The people locked in the Xiaoyao Building are all people who like to gamble..." Chu Ze glanced at Wang Hai pointedly, and continued, "And the people who opened the gambling shop."

Chu Ze will not talk about the rest.

Let Wang Lishi think for himself.

Chu Ze's eyes, coupled with Shopkeeper Feng's reaction, were enough to scare Mrs. Wang to death.

With a pale face, she hugged Wang Hai tightly, and said anxiously: "My lord, our son was seduced by others, please spare his life, we promise, we will never dare to gamble again in the future. If he Go, let's... let's break his legs ourselves! Please don't take him into the Xiaoyao Tower!"

Chu Ze ignored her.

He also didn't say whether to arrest her son or not.

As for whether her son will be arrested or not, it depends on how sensible she is as a mother.

Chu Ze gave Zhu Xi a look, and the two got up and left.

"My lord, my lord?!"

Wang Lishi got up and wanted to chase her, but she was stopped by Zhao Si before she got close.

The county master leaned against the koan as if he was exhausted, and wiped his sweat in fear.

Chu Ze and Zhu Xi left the county office and went directly to the temporary foothold set up by Liu Jing.

Along the way, Zhu Xing was beaming with joy: "Chu Ze, Chu Ze, you have used this strategy of killing two birds with one stone very well. Not only did you solve the problem of the gambling houses that have poisoned the local area for many years, but you also solved the problem of using this matter to restrain Wang Li, so that she could not be killed." If you don’t give up the fields, the canal can be built smoothly now. Well done!”

Chu Ze raised his chin triumphantly: "Of course, you think we are all your pig brains, you just want to catch people, don't you know how to use your brains?"

"Hey, you are too much. We praised you, but you scolded us?" Zhu Xi was not happy.

Chu Ze rolled his eyes and looked at him: "We call you a pig's brain, and the pig is not happy about it."

Zhu Xi: "Tsk, if you say that again, we won't run errands for you."

"Don't, don't, don't, can't we make a mistake? Your Highness, Second Prince, we still have to rely on you for a lot of things. Your lord doesn't remember the mistakes of villains, so we can accompany you in this matter." Chu Ze hastily To coax people, Zhu Yu snorted proudly, reluctantly expressing that he doesn't care.

The two walked away shoulder to shoulder.
