Chapter 66: Uncle Guo Visits(1/2)
('"Replying to your lord, my subordinates have been keeping an eye on Liuxiang Pavilion these days and found that Xiyue only came out once, which was the second day after your lord left Luoyang. She went to Yunsheng Gambling House. After entering,
I didn't see her come out again. Later, I found out that there was a back door there, and maybe she walked out through the back door. I just don't know if she went to the casino to find someone, or if she found someone following her and used the casino to escape." The officer said.
Report the situation truthfully.
I went to Yunsheng Gambling House! Yue Su had suspected that the casino was responsible for this case earlier. Unfortunately, there were too many casinos to identify the target. Now that he heard that Xiyue had been to Yunsheng Gambling House, he also said that it must be related to
She colluded with Yunsheng Gambling House, poisoned Zhang Xiang to death, and was later silenced by the casino.
Yue Su sent an order to take the old bustard with him and return to the governor's office. After returning to the office, he changed the front hall into a court hall, placed three copper guillotines, and sent people to the Yunsheng Gambling House. The gambling house was temporarily sealed and all the people were brought in.

Tie Qiu led two hundred guards and went straight to the Yunsheng Gambling House. As soon as they entered the gambling house, the gamblers inside jumped when they saw so many officers and soldiers arriving. Tie Qiu immediately shouted: "The governor's Yamen is here to handle the case! It's gambling.
No one from the gambling house is allowed to touch, and everyone who is not from the gambling house should get out of here right away!"
Initially, this group of gamblers were frightened, but when they heard that they were coming from the governor's office, they were even more frightened. Who dared to stay and fled from the casino in a mess?
Seeing the officers and soldiers coming to purge people, the guys in the gambling shop were a little confused. After all, it was Zhang Guozhang's property. No one in Luoyang dared to come to make trouble. But they also knew the governor's reputation.
Being smart, I quickly ran inside to find the steward.
The steward's name is Zhang Rong, who was originally the second steward of Guozhang's Mansion. Because Zhang Guoji saw the casino making money, he opened the casino last year. Zhang Rong was a confidant, so he was asked to take charge of everything.
Zhang Rong was robbed of the account book by Yue Su last time. When he returned to the palace, he was scolded by Zhang Guoji. He threatened that his daughter was not only a queen, but also gave birth to a dragon son. It was the time when the saint's family was strong, so why should he be afraid?
A Yue Su asked Zhang Rong to go and get the account books back immediately. Zhang Rong went to the governor's office, but the officer told him that Mr. Yue had gone out and wanted the account books and would wait until he came back. He didn't ask for the account books, so he thought
Full of emotions, the governor's Yamen now dared to come to clear the place. He was so angry that he hurried out with the thugs from the casino.
As soon as he saw Tie Qiu, Zhang Rong cursed loudly, "Damn it, do you know whose business this is? This belongs to the current head of the country, Lord Zhang. If you are sensible, get out of here, or you won't be able to eat it."
Walk around!"
If you said this to others, you might be able to scare people away, but it was Tie Qiu who came. What kind of temper did Tie Qiu have? He took two steps forward, grabbed Zhang Rong by the collar, and shouted: "Grandma, what's your name?"
Who's going to get out? I don't care about you, Lord Zhang, Lord Li, I was ordered to pick up people, take them all away with me! Let me tell you, don't talk about Zhang Guozhang, it's that Uncle Zhang Guozhang, I'm in Beijing
I also beat him up!"
After saying that, he dragged Zhang Rong and walked out.
Zhang Rong was followed by more than 20 thugs. Seeing Tie Qiu's impudence and daring to drag the steward away, he immediately rushed forward and shouted: "Boy, let go!"
Seeing that the opponent was ready to take action, Tie Qiu became even more angry and shouted: "Let him go!" After saying that, he pushed Zhang Rong back, then pulled out his sword, pointed forward, and shouted: "The governor's Yamen is recruiting people.
, whoever dares to resist arrest, come up and try!"
The guards brought by Tie Qiu were a little frightened after hearing Zhang Guozhang's name. Who in Beijing didn't know about Queen Zhang. But now that Tie Qiu showed off his knife, everyone did not dare to neglect it.
They rushed forward one after another and showed their dicks.
Although Zhang Guozhang is a big man, Master Yue is indeed in charge. No one in this group of people knows his master's temper. They even dare to go to Prince Zhou's Mansion to play hard. It seems that there is no one in this world that Master Yue is afraid of. Who dares to be afraid of him?
Above, if someone hurt Tie Qiu, he would not be allowed to have his head shaved off after he went back. Furthermore, even if he angered his uncle, he would have trouble with him.
Seeing that the officers and soldiers were not afraid of the abbot at all, and they all showed their weapons and acted like they would kill anyone who dared to resist, they all panicked and didn't know what to do.
Zhang Rong had just been hit by an iron sword and was thrown to the ground. He heard clearly that the man in front of him kept saying that he had beaten Uncle Zhang Guo in Beijing. How could the Zhang family publicize such a scandal?
People who have been to Beijing know about it, and have been silenced and are determined not to tell anyone. Others in the Zhang family have no idea at all. Although Zhang Rong heard a little bit of news, he didn't dare to ask around. Now I heard that it was
The person opposite hit Uncle Guo, and the energy he had just lost immediately. He was also afraid of angering the other person. If the other person really attacked him, a good man would not suffer the immediate loss. Anyway, he had just ordered someone to sneak out through the back door and report the news to the house.
.At that time, we should wait for the father-in-law to come forward.
Zhang Rong slowly got up from the ground and said: "This poor man, you just said you were here to pick up someone. I wonder who you want to pick up?"
"The governor's life has been sealed, and all the people at Yunsheng Casino will be imprisoned. The casino is temporarily closed." After Tie Qiu finished speaking, he waved his hand and shouted: "What are you waiting for? Take the people away, the casino is closed!"
"Yes!" The officers and soldiers were also unambiguous. They all took action together, held down everyone in the casino, and escorted them out of the gate. Tie Qiu left fifty people to seal the casino and took his own people back to the building.
There are still a lot of gambling money on the casino table, and Tie Qiu has not counted it. The officers and soldiers who are responsible for staying behind will not take the opportunity to take a handful. But they don't dare to be too arrogant. If they take too much, they will definitely be seen.
, who knows if the Lord will be able to come later, if he is discovered, it will definitely be unlucky.
After bringing the people to the governor's office, Yue Su did not let Tie Qiu escort them all to the hall. Instead, he asked Tie Qiu to ask them about their duties in the casino, and then interrogate them one by one.
The first person brought in is the gatekeeper at the gate, also called the visitor.
As soon as this man was brought to the hall, he heard a "mighty" sound from both sides. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, "Little Qiu Dagen, please kowtow to your lord."
"Your name is Qiu Dagen. I wonder what you do in the gambling house?" Yue Su asked calmly.
"Yes, sir. The younger one is the gatekeeper at the gambling house."
"On November 13th, did you see Xiyue from Liuxiang Pavilion entering your gambling house?" The date Yue Su mentioned was the day Xiyue went to the gambling house.
"Speaking to the adults, the villain has seen it." Qiu Dagen did not dare to hide it and said truthfully.
"What did she go in for?" Yue Su asked again.
"I don't know the specific villain, but he must have gone in to find the manager." Qiu Dagen said.
"How can you be sure if I go to your manager?"
"How could she, a kiln sister, come to us? She must have come to us to manage things."
"Does she have any friendship with your manager? Has she been here before?" Yue Su asked.
"I don't know whether we are friends or not, so I don't dare to tell you nonsense. I have never been here before and this is my first time."
I had never been to a casino before. This time I went to report to the casino manager that I was suspected of having an affair with her, but within two days, I was silenced.
Yue Su quickly made this judgment and asked Qiu Dagen to sign and deposit it first, and then passed it on to others.
All Yue Su asked was this question. Has Xiyue ever been to a casino? Who did she go to the casino to find? The clerk at the casino did not hide anything and told the truth. There was nothing to hide, because Xiyue entered the casino on the same day.
At that time, the casinos were exploding, who didn’t know?
Among the people who came to the gambling house, most of them had been to Liuxiang Pavilion. After coaxing her together, everyone in the gambling house knew that she was the kiln sister of Liuxiang Pavilion.
As for who to look for in the casino, this issue is very clear. A relatively popular girl must not take the initiative to look for servants, and the person she looks for is also a manager.
After asking all the guys to sign and deposit their signatures, Yue Su asked Zhang Rong to be brought along.
After Zhang Rong came to the court, he stood up instead of kneeling because he was the second housekeeper of the Guozhang's Mansion. He just raised his hands and said, "I don't know why Mr. Yue invited Zhang to come here. Why did he send someone to seal the gambling house? Why did he still send someone to seal the gambling house?"
Please give me an explanation."
"The closure of the gambling house is only temporary. The headquarters notified all the people in your gambling house. They were afraid that the money inside would be lost, so they sent someone to watch. As for why you were summoned here, do you have any idea in your mind?
Not even..." At this point, Yue Su slammed the gavel tree and shouted loudly: "You are so bold and cunning, why don't you kneel down when you see the headquarters! Why don't you kneel down quickly and tell me your name!"
"Wei...wu..." When the officers on both sides heard what the adults said, they all shouted "Weiwei". The purpose was very simple, it meant to tell the prisoners to know their faces, otherwise don't blame us for being rude.
Zhang Rong recognized the situation and quickly knelt down on the ground and said: "Sir, my name is Zhang Rong. I don't know what you are telling me about. Please tell me clearly."
"Okay, then the headquarters will remind you. Did Xiyue from Liuxiang Pavilion come to Yunsheng Gambling House to look for you on November 13th?"
"Yes, sir." Yue Su sent so many people in one after another. Although after they were brought out, they were all isolated and could not communicate with each other. Who knows what was asked inside. Zhang Rong did not dare to talk nonsense.
"Why is she looking for you?" Yue Su stared at Zhang Rong and said, "Raise your head and look at the headquarters."
Zhang Rong raised his head and said: "She is looking for me...ah...she saw that I haven't been to Liuxiang Pavilion for a long time, so she came to ask."
His speaking speed was a little slow, and he was obviously thinking while speaking. If there were no problems, he would not speak like this. Yue Su saw this and immediately concluded that Zhang Rong was lying.
"So, Manager Zhang often goes to Liuxiang Pavilion, and I think he is also a frequent visitor to Xiyue. I wonder if Manager Zhang usually goes to Liuxiang Pavilion every few days?" Yue Su asked calmly.
"This... I don't go there often, but when I go, I get a lot of rewards, so Miss Xiyue remembers it clearly. I think she came to ask after seeing me not going for many days." Zhang Rong said, "This
"I took a long time to write the words, and it seemed that I was thinking of excuses again.
"Since you are not a regular customer, why would the girl in this house come to see you? Manager Zhang, your excuse is a bit far-fetched?" Yue Su said coldly.
"I... Sir, actually I don't know why Xiyue came back to see me. After meeting, she just said she missed me and asked me to visit her often. Then we met in the room... After that, I gave her
For twenty taels of silver, send her out the back door." Seeing that the excuse just now was exposed, Zhang Rong decided to do it without even knowing it.
Yue Su continued to ask: "How many times have you been to Liuxiang Pavilion in total?"
"This... Xiaomin can't remember clearly..."
"Most people can remember most of the places that people rarely go to, even if they have been there a few times. Manager Zhang helps the father-in-law manage the casino. He must be a very meticulous person. Why can't he remember such things clearly?" Yue Su added.
asked.
"Alas..." Zhang Rong sighed deliberately and said: "As people get older, their memory is not good. Alas... I am getting older... I am getting older..."
"You can't remember. That's easy. I'll help you ask. How many times have you been there? Miss Xiyue will miss you so much that she will make a special trip to find you." After saying that, Yue Su said loudly.
He shouted: "Bring the madam from Liuxiang Pavilion to the hall."
After the words were settled, not long after, the Madam was brought to the court. When she saw Yue Su, she immediately knelt down and kowtowed. After seeing the ceremony, she heard Yue Su say: "Old Madam, I sent you to the court because I have something to ask you.
, please don’t talk nonsense, otherwise you will be blamed for being rude to you by the Headquarters.”
The brothel is the most well-informed place. How could the Madam not hear about Lord Yue's reputation? She said hurriedly: "If you have anything to say, sir, just ask, a common woman will never tell you what she knows."
"That's good. Look at the person next to you. Do you recognize him?" Yue Su pointed at Zhang Rong.
The old bustard took one look and said: "This is the second housekeeper of the Guozhang's Mansion. He is a well-known figure in Luoyang City. How can a commoner woman not recognize him?"
