Dugu laughed at what he said. It can be said that the speaker meant it, and the listener also paid attention. His Majesty the Emperor was stunned when he walked towards the palace.

"Master Li?

Which Master Li?"

Dugu smiled and couldn't help but curled up his lips, "Of course it's for Mr. Li Xu and Mr. Li!"

"Li Xu? My right-hand man!"

His Majesty the Emperor couldn't help but narrow his eyes and asked again, "He also opened a gambling house?"

Dugu smiled with surprise on his face.

"Yo!

Your Majesty, don’t you know?

Didn’t the eldest princess tell you?

This afternoon, the eldest princess won the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver at Li Xu’s gambling house!"

As soon as Duguxiao said this, the emperor's feet were completely unable to walk.

"You just said that there are more than a dozen gambling houses, large and small, in this capital?"

Dugu smiled and nodded, "Yes, the location of these gambling houses is centered on the most prosperous Zhuque Street, and the six largest ones were opened around this Zhuque Street.

Two of them have already been patronized by you and your daughter."

“Six families visited two!

Then there are four more restaurants, do we want to visit them?"

The eldest princess held by His Majesty the Emperor was very excited, there was so much money!

She likes it so much, she likes it so much!

"Princess! Haven't you had enough fun yet?"

Dugu Xiao immediately handed the ladder to her and kept blinking at her, "It's still early. If Princess doesn't feel tired, turn left and walk about two miles ahead. There's a gambling shop there, but I don't know which gambling house it is."

Which DPRK minister is behind the scenes!"

Duguxiao had just finished saying this, and before he could take a breath, he heard the eldest princess's milky voice, "Your Majesty's adoptive father Feifei..."

Dugu smiled and blinked, Feifei...

Ah this...

Why does it sound familiar?

At midnight, someone knocked on the back corner doors of all the princes and ministers, and quietly handed out small paper balls.

moments before morning

In front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony

"Good morning, Lord Shi! Hello, Mr. Li! Lord Zhen Guo... Good morning, everyone!"

"Good morning, Uncle Dugu! Good morning, everyone."

Uncle Dugu came earlier than usual today, but what he didn't expect was that someone would come earlier than him this morning.

"Good morning, gentlemen, you are all very early!"

"What's the morning?

Why did you come?

I'm telling you, something big happened."

Someone quietly pulled Uncle Dugu aside and whispered to him, "Did you know that more than a dozen gambling houses across the city were looted last night?"

Uncle Dugu couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this. He must know about this.

However, this matter had something to do with his unfilial son, so he pretended not to know.

"Yo!

What about this thing?

Who did it?”

Uncle Dugu made his expression of surprise come alive.

"Who did it?

We also want to know who did it. I heard that it started at noon yesterday.

That was Li Kee Gambling House. I heard it was a half-year-old child and a few people from the Shenqingtai.

It is said that the people from Li Ji's Gambling House offended Ji Shenpo from the Shenping Station, so Ji Shenpo took the eldest princess and pretended to be a tiger, and completely wiped out the Li Ji Gambling House.

Not only that, Ji Shenping also made a lot of accusations and put all the stewards and servants of Liji Gambling House in jail."

"Ji...Ji Shenping did it?"

Uncle Dugu was confused, wasn't he the unfilial son of his family?

But the people he sent out followed his unfilial son all night yesterday. It is said that he has been visiting major gambling houses with His Majesty and the eldest princess!

None of my subordinates even mentioned a word about Ji Shenzu when they came back!

"That's right, it's Ji Shendu. What happened yesterday is more than that. Do you know that Yunhang's disaster relief money is available?"

"Um?"

Got it?

Uncle Dugu looked confused. Yesterday, his unfilial son came home and threatened him, asking him to take the lead in donating money during the morning ceremony.

How come the money for disaster relief is now available?

"Hey, my uncle, you still don't know?

Our owner of Haoyue Pavilion, a famous chamber of commerce in Korea, anonymously donated 200,000 taels of silver notes and 100,000 taels of gold to the imperial court!"

"so much?"

Uncle Dugu couldn't close his mouth. He just took out one tael of gold, ten taels of silver, and tens of millions of taels of silver. This Haoyue Pavilion is truly the number one in the world who has collected all the wealth in the world.

Chamber of Commerce!

"No!

Everyone is guessing, who is the owner of Haoyue Pavilion?"

Uncle Dugu sighed forcefully, and before he could say anything, the bell for the court assembly rang.

The heavy palace door opened, and civil and military officials entered the palace one after another. As everyone approached the hall, they suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Some people talked in low voices with doubts to their colleagues.

"Why are there so many guards at the entrance of the store today?

It looks like someone is going to be brought to justice!"

"Don't talk about the guards outside, even the father-in-laws in this hall are very serious. My eyelids are twitching. Do you think something is going to happen?"

The courtiers were panic-stricken and frightened when they heard Eunuch Ling's voice shouting "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone knelt down and shouted "long live" three times, but they couldn't wait for a long time for His Majesty to say "come back"!

Some people had begun to break out in cold sweats, and the one who suffered the most was Li Xu.

Quiet, the kind of quiet that can be heard when a needle drops, so quiet that it makes people tremble.

"Pingsheng!"

Just when all the ministers could hardly bear it anymore, the emperor finally opened the mouth of Chrysostom!

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

All the courtiers stood up and quietly took a look at His Majesty the Emperor's face on the dragon throne, and couldn't help but secretly gasp in their hearts.

This was a side of the terrifyingly gloomy emperor that they had never seen before. His majesty had been on the throne for thirteen years, and his usual tricks were no longer in line with this time.

"Eunuch Ling!" The emperor's voice was terrifyingly cold and frightening.

"yes!"

Eunuch Ling clapped his hands twice, and several eunuchs filed in. Some were carrying trays, some were carrying tables, and some were placing chairs.

For a while, the courtiers were confused.

"What is this doing?"

Someone asked in a low voice.

"It looks like a big square table is being set up!"

"Why does Your Majesty place a large square table in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?

Is he treating the Hall of Supreme Harmony, where state affairs are discussed, as a vegetable market?

Or is it used as a back garden?”

The courtiers were discussing the matter in a lively manner. What started as whispers gradually turned into a lively and bold discussion amid the emperor's silence.

However, just after the eunuchs arranged the long table and put the last item on it, the discussion in the hall suddenly stopped.

Their breathing became extremely outstanding, and some even started to tremble.

"Lu Shangshu, what's wrong with you?" Lu Shangshu, who was standing next to Uncle Dugu, suddenly started to tremble. Seeing this, Uncle Dugu quickly stretched out his hand to help him and asked softly.

Mr. Lu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, quickly steadied himself in response to Uncle Dugu's questioning, took a deep breath, and said repeatedly, "It's okay, thank you for your concern, uncle!"

His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting high on the throne, saw all this and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This is just a show, the fun is yet to come!

"Dear dear friends, you must have some recreational activities when you have nothing to do at home, right?

I wonder if you are familiar with this thing?"
