These two people, one was the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs and the other was the prince of Nanman. If there were rumors that they went to a gambling house to gamble and were detained here, Qin Rushuang simply could not imagine the consequences.
Yang Wan'er won't say it anymore. Her father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and his status is inherently sensitive.
If word gets out, the amount of money involved in this gambling is huge, and it is inevitable that someone will impeach the Minister of Household Affairs for enriching his own pockets.
Mu Duo is even worse. If word spreads that he is the prince of a neighboring country, it would be bad if there are rumors that the prince of a neighboring country is addicted to gambling.
It is even more unclear if someone with ulterior motives could fabricate some story that Prince Huai's palace deliberately raised the prince of a neighboring country to be useless, and deliberately took him to eat, drink, whore, gamble and have all kinds of fun.
Qin Rushuang strode ahead with a sullen face, while Yang Wan'er and Mu Duo followed behind with their heads lowered like little chickens.
On the way, I met Xie Xun who was looking for someone.
Xie Xun saw that her face was not good and he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
Qin Rushuang waved her hand and said, "Take them two back to Prince Huai's Mansion first."
After returning to the palace, Qin Rushuang told in a few words that the two of them went to a gambling house to gamble, and in the end they were set up and owed a large amount of money but still could not pay it out.
"You two are really promising! I never thought that one day I would go to a black gambling house to fish for people."
Seeing how angry she was, Xie Xun poured a cup of tea for her and put it at hand.
Mu Duo and Yang Wan'er didn't even dare to sit down, let alone drink tea, and stood next to Qin Rushuang with their heads lowered.
Qin Rushuang looked at the two of them and realized they were wrong, so she sighed and asked, "No one has discovered your identity, right? Your real names are not known to others, right?"
Yang Waner quickly shook her head and said, "Rushuang, you know me! I don't even use my real name when I go out to play, and I even dress up in disguise. They shouldn't know it's me!"
Mu Duo lowered his head and said, "Then you don't even know me. I haven't been in Kyoto for a long time. I went to the casino today. I didn't even have time to say a few words to Wan'er. I told her in a confused way.
We owe a lot of money, and it’s not enough even if we pay out all the money we have.”
Yang Wan'er quickly winked, which meant that you still dare to say it, for fear that Qin Rushuang is not angry enough.
When Qin Rushuang was reminded by him, she actually remembered something, frowned and said to Yang Waner, "I didn't care about your nonsense before, but why did you go to the casino this time?
Yang Wan'er curled her lips and said, "You really can't blame me for this. I was just bored one day and thought I'd never been there, so I took a look. I just played once and won a little money."
"I stopped playing in this casino after that, and moved to a few more, and I won more or less. Then I felt that I must have been very lucky recently, so I wanted to bet bigger. Besides, it was not the case.
I only won money in one casino, and I didn't expect that they would join forces with several gambling houses to make me jump."
Qin Rushuang frowned slightly, thinking about what the big man told him before that if he owed money at their gambling house, he could pay off the debt by winning at other gambling houses...
Then I contacted Yang Wan'er and said that I went to several places in a row, and they all seemed to be trying to give her a sweet spot...
Qin Rushuang had a vague guess in her mind.
The people behind these gambling houses may all have the same boss.
That's why she was able to play games in different places, which made Yang Wan'er think that her luck had greatly increased. She was suddenly playing better than her son, and she lost so much money.
Qin Rushuang was annoyed when she saw the two of them now, so she waved her hand and told them to go out alone and not get together in front of her.
After the two of them went out, Qin Rushuang took a sip of tea and looked at Xie Xun, "Does the prince think this is normal?"
"The East City area is a mixed bag. Several civil underground forces have been fighting for so many years, and no one can convince the other. How come all the gambling houses suddenly belong to the same person?"
"Your Majesty, you haven't heard anything lately?"
Xie Xun sat down and said, "It's really not normal."
"Those underground industries are very profitable, and everyone wants a piece of the pie, so several forces have always been trying to compete with each other. As far as I know, the bosses behind the casinos that Yang Waner just mentioned are different."
Doubts appeared in Qin Rushuang's mind.
"Then who is the master who integrated the underground forces in Dongshi? The gambling house alone is already amazing. If other industries are included..."
"No, we still have to send someone to find out what's going on!"
Xie Xun nodded and said, "There are everyone in that place, and it's not clean. You don't need to go. I'll send someone to investigate."
"By the way, the matters on the Imperial City Army side have almost been dealt with. Xiao Shan has made his favorite disciple make a minor mistake today. I think my father will punish him tomorrow. By then... Imperial City
The Military Father Emperor should still transfer him to my command."
The two chatted for a few more words, and it was time for dinner.
Yang Wan'er and Mu Duo stayed at Prince Huai's Mansion to have dinner together. During the dinner, Qin Rushuang could see clearly that Mu Duo really fell in love with Wan'er.
But Wan'er was heartless and didn't seem to care about Mu Duo's thoughts.
Qin Rushuang sighed silently in her heart. This kid Mu Duo fell in love with Yang Wan'er, so it seemed like he was in trouble.
The next day, Emperor Qi received the memorial to impeach the Imperial City Army, and was naturally furious.
But being angry was only for outsiders to see. When no one was around, the anger on his face faded, and he felt that it was good that this happened.
He was worried that there was no way to take back the imperial army from the hands of Lao Si and Xiao Shan, but this man made a mistake himself.
But he still had to think carefully about who should be in charge of the Imperial City Army next.
Xie Xun did not approach Emperor Qi at this time.
It's never good to act too eager for quick success.
The Imperial City Army is responsible for guarding the palace, and Emperor Qi must choose a reliable person in the end.
In the end, most likely, they will be selected from among the lieutenants in Xie Xun's hands. When the general power is obtained, it will be transferred to Qin Rufeng's hands, which will be regarded as fulfilling his promise to Rushuang.
At this time. Dongshi underground casino.
A handsome young man in white clothes walked into the casino. He was slender and had a handsome face.
When several casino thugs saw him coming, their ferocious expressions turned into flattery, "Why are you here, noble man? The person in charge is at the back, I will take you over."
In the room, a middle-aged man with a sinister look on his face quickly put down the account book in his hand when he saw the man in white coming.
"You are here."
"How are the accounts these days?"
The steward respectfully handed the accounts to his hands.
"Sir, look at it, the profits are pretty good. Ever since I listened to your words, when I was playing games for others, along with several other casinos, those noble gentlemen really lowered their vigilance. This game is made exactly right."
The young man in white opened the folding fan with a swipe of his hand, inciting it slightly, with a somewhat unruly look on his face.
"Well, you did a good job, but you still have to be careful in your actions. You can attack ordinary wealthy young masters, but if you are too noble, don't go too far."
The steward nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, I understand. Sir, do you want to go out and play a few games?"
The young man in white put away his fan and shook his head: "No. I'll go to the brothel again."
The steward was respectful and escorted the man in white all the way outside the casino, watching him enter the largest brothel in Kyoto diagonally across the street.
A big man behind him couldn't help but ask, "Who is our boss?"
The steward turned around and gave him a warning look, "If you want to save your life, don't ask questions you shouldn't!"
