Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 126 Outrageously Buying Bottoms Against Li Shou!
It's not that Emperor Qianwu had never cracked down on underground gambling houses before, but because the Dali Temple in charge of the matter reported the news, it had little effect.

Over time, everyone got used to this cat-and-mouse game and played it with ease.

Seeing that there was no effect, Emperor Qianwu simply let it go and would only speak out when the gambling houses made big things happen. Li Shou dared to secretly open so many gambling houses to collect money crazily.

But he never thought that Emperor Qianwu would suddenly use such a thunderous method, and strike without everyone knowing.

Li Shou couldn't help thinking of four words: fat and kill it!
Could it be that even though what Emperor Qianwu did before was just a performance, he actually wanted to fatten them up before harvesting them?

But why choose this time?
Why didn't they do this when Shangzhou flooded and the money was lost?
With a thought in his mind, Li Shou suddenly thought of someone.

Li Changfeng!
This matter may have something to do with him!
He quickly asked, "What did Li Changfeng do today?"

Zhao Cheng replied: "According to reports from the following spies, the Ninth Prince first went to the palace today, and it took three hours before he left the palace."

Having said that, Zhao Cheng couldn't help showing a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"Your Highness, what do you mean, the confiscation of the gambling house has something to do with His Royal Highness Ninth Prince?"

Li Shou showed such a look, and said coldly: "This prince is not sure, but it probably has something to do with him!"

Zhao Cheng was startled: "Your Highness, does he know that we sent the killer?!"

Li Shou shook his head and said, "No, with his temperament, if he found out, he would let me go so easily?"

Zhao Cheng asked suspiciously, "Then how do you explain the raid on the gambling house?"

Li Shou said bitterly: "It's definitely not aimed at me, but the idea is probably from that bastard!"

Speaking of this, Li Shou couldn't help showing a worried expression.

What would Emperor Qianwu do when he knew that he was the boss behind so many gambling houses?
……

On the morning of the second day, Xuanzheng Hall.

After the visit, the ministers discussed matters.

Strangely, none of the courtiers mentioned the raid on the gambling house.

Most of them got the news last night, and even if they didn't, they learned about it from other courtiers earlier.

It's just that there are too many dignitaries involved in the gambling house, and many people under the eldest prince Li Chengye and the sixth prince Li Ji also opened a gambling shop, so no one wants to expand this matter.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Qianwu sneered in his heart.

After the inspection last night, Gao Dali counted them all night, and when Emperor Qianwu woke up in the morning, he saw a shocking number.

25 eight taels of silver!

Emperor Qianwu knew that the scale of gambling in the capital was not small, but he never expected that it would reach such a terrifying level.

At the time of the imperial court's disaster relief, the treasury could not even get out 50 taels of silver, and there was so much gambling money in one night.

After learning this number, Emperor Qianwu was so angry that he almost couldn't hold back and ordered all the people behind the scenes to be arrested.

But in the end he endured.

Because he has already found out that the biggest behind-the-scenes boss is his prince Li Shou.

If the investigation is carried out to the end, it will definitely be made public so that everyone knows about it. How will the Tian family's face be saved then?
Being so restrained made Emperor Qianwu feel extremely aggrieved, and looked at Li Shou with anger in his eyes.

He said coldly: "Yesterday, I raided the major gambling houses in the capital and seized 25 taels of gambling funds, which have been handed over to the state treasury. Those who participate in the gambling houses must rein in the precipice. If there is another offender, I will not forgive you lightly!"

After the warning, Emperor Qianwu waved his hand impatiently: "I'm here this morning, Li Shou stays, and the others retreat!"

Hearing Emperor Qianwu's words, Li Chengye couldn't help showing a sneer.

He naturally knew that the boss behind many gambling houses was Li Shou.

He didn't do this kind of side business these years because he was afraid that something would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come true today.

As for Li Ji, because he was beaten too hard by Li Changfeng last time, he is still recuperating in the mansion, and he has not gone to court so far.

Li Jianye trained in the artillery battalion and did not go to the early court.

The other princes looked like they were sitting on a mountain watching a tiger fight.

Li Shouze's face paled instantly.

After everyone retreated, Emperor Ganwu sat up from the dragon chair expressionlessly and walked slowly to Li Shou, and said coldly, "Are you guilty?"

Li Shou fell to his knees with a thump, kowtowed quickly and said, "My son is guilty!"

"It's good to be guilty!"

Emperor Ganwu snorted coldly, pulled out the belt of the seven wolves, and yanked it over his head and face.

"Damn things!"

"The dignified prince, even opened a gambling shop, where do you want me to put my face?!"

"Half of the gambling houses in the capital are yours, it's so audacious!"

"Do you know, you will shake the foundation of the country by doing this!"

"Do you know that if these things spread to everyone, your reputation will be bad!"

"Do you know, in order to protect you and the Tian family's face, I have no choice but to expose this matter!"

"I gallop the world, why have I ever been so aggrieved?!"

"It's all because of you bastard!"

……

Every time Emperor Qianwu scolded, he pulled his belt fiercely, without holding back his hand at all.

Li Shou didn't dare to dodge, so he could only protect his head, letting Emperor Qianwu beat him severely, and kept shouting for mercy.

Emperor Ganwu was getting more and more angry, both of them were his sons, how could there be such a big difference?

Li Changfeng also loves money, but the way he makes money is legal and reasonable, and he never gets into trouble for him.

And this Li Shou, why is he so unbearable?

The more angry Emperor Qianwu was, the harder he pumped. After a while, the entire belt was stained red by Li Shou's blood.

Seeing this scene, Gao Dali had no choice but to remind: "Your Majesty, you can't fight anymore, if you fight again, you will die!"

Seeing that Li Shou's python robe was torn to pieces and blood was everywhere on his body, Emperor Ganwu stopped.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "The real estate that runs the gambling shop is yours, right? Turn it all over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you dare to do such a thing that damages the face of the Tian Family, I will I can't spare you!"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Ganwu walked away in a huff.

Li Shou glanced at Emperor Qianwu's back, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of hatred.

Emperor Ganwu, who took a sigh of relief, was in a better mood, and said to Gao Dali: "Give all these properties to Changfeng, the lottery shop will probably be used, and the beer and barbecue city will also be used in the future, so as not to worry about it." The brat always says I'm stingy."

Gao Dali bowed and said: "This old slave knows."

……

evening.

Li Changfeng, who had been wandering all morning in the bustling areas of the capital, was eating at a restaurant with his brows tightly frowned.

His original plan was to open the lottery store within three days, but it seems impossible now because he couldn't find a suitable store.

All the shops with good location and large area were not sold or rented out, which made him quite helpless.

You can't grab it by force, right?

"Hey……"

Li Changfeng let out a long sigh.

If it doesn't work, you can only find a remote place.

At this moment, Xu Feng'er walked in.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Zhang please see me!"

Li Changfeng was a little surprised, it was getting dark, what did Eunuch Zhang do here?
Without thinking too much, Li Changfeng asked Xu Feng'er to invite Eunuch Zhang in.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Changfeng greeted him enthusiastically, laughed and said: "Old Zhang, it's such a coincidence that you came here, come and sit down, let's have dinner together!"

As he spoke, he pulled Eunuch Zhang to the table.

Eunuch Zhang quickly refused: "No, this is not allowed! There is no difference between superiority and inferiority, we should just stand here!"

Li Changfeng was in charge of so much, so he forced Eunuch Zhang to sit down at the table, and said with a smile, "Old Zhang, why are you being so polite? There are no outsiders now, so don't worry so much, you know my prince's temper!"

Hearing this, Eunuch Zhang couldn't help showing a grateful look.

The first time we met before, Li Changfeng gave him a big reward, telling him to save more money to make life easier after leaving the palace, and made him a confidant.

When picking up Li Changfeng's breakfast the next day, Li Changfeng even gave him his own breakfast without any airs, allowing him to eat the best breakfast in his life.

And now Li Changfeng is dragging him to eat at the same table. With such a master, can he find another one in the whole world?
Eunuch Zhang wished he could leave the palace and concentrate on serving Li Changfeng.

Just when he was thinking about this, Li Changfeng stuffed another stack of bank notes into Eunuch Zhang's hands, and said with a smile, "Save it, and use it for the elderly!"

Eunuch Zhang glanced at it, probably about a thousand taels, so he couldn't help being startled, and quickly evaded: "This can't be done, can't be done!"

Li Changfeng stuffed it into his hand and said with a smile: "Just take it, it's easier for my prince to make money than you."

Only then did Eunuch Zhang accept it, and quickly knelt down to worship, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Li Changfeng said helplessly: "Why are you kneeling again? Get up."

After getting up, Eunuch Zhang took out a stack of land deeds from his pocket and handed them over, saying seriously: "Your Highness, these land deeds were brought to you by Mr. Gao's servant, and they are said to be rewarded to you by His Majesty!"

"Oh?" Li Changfeng took over a dozen land deeds and glanced at them for a few times, and his eyes lit up immediately: "They are all in good locations. Why is the father so generous all of a sudden? Now all the problems are solved!"

Seeing Li Changfeng so happy, Eunuch Zhang also smiled: "As long as His Highness likes it."

Li Changfeng threw the land deeds aside, and asked, "Where do these land deeds come from? Does Your Majesty have other business in the capital?"

If asked by an ordinary person, Eunuch Zhang would naturally not reveal the slightest bit. After all, if you talk too much in the palace, you risk losing your head, especially if it involves His Majesty.

But when Li Changfeng asked, Eunuch Zhang said without hesitation, "These are the title deeds of the Second Prince!"

Li Changfeng's heart moved, and he already had a guess, but on the surface he showed a surprised look: "What's going on?"

Eunuch Zhang asked: "Your Highness, did you know about His Majesty's inspection of all gambling houses in the capital last night?"

Li Changfeng nodded: "I know."

Eunuch Zhang said in a low voice: "I heard that the biggest boss behind these gambling houses is the Second Prince. His Majesty left the Second Prince in the Xuanzheng Hall for half an hour after the morning court. When he came out, the python robe was torn and covered in blood. Just sent someone to send these land deeds, all of which are properties for him to open a gambling shop!"
