Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 235 Entering the Palace Again
Wang Pingan learned some things about the Sirius Gang from Shen Huai, and analyzed some things about the Sirius Gang, but the information is still not enough, so it can only be analyzed, and there is no way to prove that they are elaborators.

So he went to ask Wan County Magistrate, Qian Fuyin, Chen Yifeng and other people who often deal with the underworld. The information he got from them was similar to Shen Huai's. Outside the gambling house, there is also a Xiaoyao Forest.

According to Qian Fuyin, Xiaoyaolin is a place where casinos and brothels coexist, but it is different from other gambling houses and brothels. People who can go to Xiaoyaolin are worth tens of thousands of people, or their status noble man.

Gambling in Xiaoyaolin, the minimum is [-] guan, and there is no upper limit. Many people lose their fortunes there, and many people double their fortunes because of it.

The women there are even more beautiful, proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they are also familiar with bed affairs. The most important thing is that those women are all virgins. Once a rich man takes a fancy to them, they He will show what he has learned and serve the guests comfortably and with great satisfaction.And the woman whose body was broken should either follow the person who broke her body, or be sent to the brothel.

Then Qianfu Yin took the woman back home and loved her even more.This made Wang Pingan frowned again. If the Sirius Gang is not what he thinks, then it’s okay. If it’s what he thinks, then the consequences will be serious. Using the beauty and wisdom of women, they will be placed on high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Getting news from Datang is as easy as pie.

Thinking of this, a lot of cold sweat broke out on Wang Pingan's forehead. He secretly admired the cleverness of the people of the Sirius Gang. If he wanted to solve this situation, the best way was to go inside the Sirius Gang.Destroy them from within.

Wang Pingan quickly sorted out the information of the Sirius Gang, wrote it into a memorial, and handed it to Li Er for him to judge by himself.But I will also think of countermeasures, hoping that I can solve the Sirius Gang with my own hands.

Wang Pingan wrote two memorials, one telling Li Er that he had smashed the Chang'an Gang and the Suzaku Gang, and captured everyone. Because they were suspected of officials, they were all detained in the Special Forces Reserve Battalion.If necessary, Qin Huaiyu can send everyone to the palace for interrogation by Li Er's parents and sons.Even the confession was handed over to Li Er, and the affairs of the Dou family were also explained in detail.

The other memorial was about the matter of the Sirius Gang. He explained his doubts again, and hoped that Li Er could give him more information so that he could understand everything about the Sirius Gang.so that I can think of ways to deal with them,

After finishing writing, Wang Pingan read it through with satisfaction, and felt that there was nothing missing, so he put them in his arms with satisfaction, and planned to hand them over to Li Er now.

It's not too late now, it's only past one o'clock at noon, maybe Li Er hasn't eaten yet, so he will let him have lunch with him.Wang Ping'an couldn't help walking all the way to the palace in a daze.

"Who dares to trespass into the imperial palace?" A general guarding the gate couldn't help but look at Wang Pingan rushing towards him.

Wang Pingan ignored him lazily, and directly took out the token that Li Er gave him and handed it to the gatekeeper general.

As soon as the gatekeeper saw the token, he quickly knelt down on one knee and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

In this way, Wang Pingan easily entered the palace. He guessed that Li Er should be with his eldest grandson at this time, or read a book in Ganlu Hall.

So he went to the eldest grandson first, and found that neither the eldest grandson nor Li Er was there. After inquiring, it turned out that the eldest grandson had gone to the construction site again, but this time the eldest grandson went alone, and of course he brought a lot of guards.As for Li Er, of course he is still in Ganlu Hall.

So Wang Ping'an went to Ganlu Hall again, and met Li Er's personal guard, the eunuch, the cold-faced man at the door.Wang Pingan knew that his surname was Gao, and his name was Gao Shou. He was a general of the Xuanjia Army formed by Li Er, but when he was attacking Wang Shichong, his temperament changed drastically after he was shot by a stray arrow. master.

After Li Er came to the throne, he wanted to confer a title on him, but because he had no children, he rejected him, saying that he didn't want any titles, he just wanted to protect Li Er, and if Li Er disagreed, he would commit suicide.As a last resort, Li Er kept him by his side to protect himself, but the title has always been reserved for him.

He stepped forward to strike up a conversation and said, "Mr. Gao, please tell me for the boy. The boy wants to see His Majesty."

"Wait." Gao Shou said coldly, still with a cold face
Soon he came out, still with such a cold face, such a cold voice, and said without a trace of emotion: "Go in."

But Wang Pingan said politely, "Thank you."

"Student, I have met Your Majesty." Wang Pingan saluted to Li Er.

"Get up, you came to see me in a few days, are you done with those things?" Li Er asked.

Wang Pingan continued to cup his hands and said: "Your Majesty, there are four halls in Chang'an. One student controls them. Two students have already uprooted them. The other one is quite mysterious, called the Sirius Gang. The students can't find them to bully the people." But there is no evidence to control the brothels and gambling houses in Chang'an. There is also a caravan of thousands of people who often carry a large amount of food out of the customs, so the students think this is very inappropriate, and all the students have written in the memorial , Your Majesty, please take a look." After speaking, he handed the two memorials to Li Er.

Li Er took the memorial, opened the memorial of the Sirius Gang, and read it carefully. After reading for a while, his brows began to wrinkle, and his face became more serious.

After reading it, he closed the memorial and slapped the table vigorously: "Wolf ambition, wolf ambition... Mere Turks and Tubo dare to covet my Tang Dynasty, and I will send troops to destroy them now."

Wang Pingan quickly said: "Your Majesty, calm down, all this is speculation by the students, and on the surface they are all legitimate businessmen. If Your Majesty arrests them for no reason, it will cause panic among other businessmen, which will lead to a large number of businessmen. Leaving Chang'an will affect the investment plan after the completion of the commercial plaza, and I'm afraid we will lose money and die."

"What can you do?" Li Er asked after calming down.

"There is a way, but it needs the support of His Majesty and the court." Wang Pingan said.

"tell me the story."

Wang Pingan said: "In fact, it is very simple. It is to let the court make a decree, saying that gambling has caused many wives to be separated, and many families have been broken up by selling children and daughters. Therefore, it is ordered to prohibit others from opening gambling houses and all gambling behaviors. First Cut off their fortunes."

Li Er frowned and said: "It is forbidden to open gambling houses, so the court will lose a lot of taxes, but there are other ways."

"Yes, we can state-owned the gambling houses. Non-governmental people are not allowed to operate gambling houses. Only the government can operate them, or merchants approved by the government can also do it. And we must control the number and size of the gambling houses. The gambling houses should not be too small. They need to be large. And every gambling shop needs a management system, without a system, nothing can be achieved.” Wang Pingan didn’t even think about saying it directly.

Li Er asked curiously: "The system, the gambling house either loses or wins, what system is there?"

Wang Pingan smiled slightly and said: "Of course, Your Majesty may have never been to a private gambling house. It is a smoky atmosphere. Except for real gamblers, no one wants to go to a gambling house. And it is very small. In a small room, people There is no way for the crowded people to stay. The most important thing is that they gamble with cash, and they gamble as much as they have, without thinking about what happens after they lose.”

"After the establishment of the casino system, cash gambling is not allowed..." Wang Pingan explained the operation and management model of future casinos. Li Er couldn't react immediately when he heard that the casino was a money-absorbing beast. His eyes lit up suddenly, and his thoughts came.

So he asked: "Ping'an, I ask you, do you think this casino is better run by the imperial court or by the private sector?"

"If you want students to say, of course it is better for the imperial court to manage, not for making money, but for the people. You see, many people will lose their fortunes when the common people come to the gambling house to gamble. But if it is the court's casino, you will just watch it Did he lose everything? No, we can set up a blacklist and know that people in the blacklist are not allowed to enter no matter which casino they are in. If they are found out, that casino will receive a huge amount of money The punishment is definitely ten times, or even a hundred times what he earned."

Li Eryi couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's right, Ping'an's words are reasonable, then you can come up with a charter, and you will explain the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty in the early court, especially those censors and Wei Zheng."

Upon hearing this, Wang Pingan couldn't help but smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, it's not good to do this. Although this matter was brought up by the students, you can't let the students offend everyone, right?"

"This is the imperial decree." Li Er said in an unquestionable tone.

Wang Pingan said helplessly: "The students accept the order."

"Hmm." Li Er watched Wang Ping'an deflated, and happily opened the second memorial. After reading half of it, his smile turned into anger, and he suppressed his anger and read the entire memorial.

He said coldly: "Is the evidence conclusive?"

"They have personally admitted that in addition to their confessions, the students also seized a large amount of gold and silver treasures from their homes. There are also some correspondence and account books, which are kept in the special forces reserve camp." Wang Ping'an said.

"Then what about my dear uncle, the Dou family?" Speaking of the Dou family, Li Er's face became even more ferocious.

Wang Ping'an cupped his hands and said, "Because the Dou family belongs to the royal relatives, the students did not act rashly. Moreover, this matter is also a disgraceful thing for the royal family."
