Chapter 1536: The Diao Family Guan Gambling is Heartbreaking
Diao Kui was so angry that he was shaking all over, his face was green and white for a while. His finger pointing at Liu Yu was trembling, but he couldn't say a complete sentence in reply. He groaned bitterly: "You, Liu Yu"
Yu, you, you villager, rebelled, rebelled, you actually, you dared to slander the imperial official like this, you, you don’t want to live. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, look at this Liu Yu, you are so presumptuous,
If he is not dealt with strictly, I am afraid that he will definitely have rebellious intentions in the future! Oh, no, he already has ulterior motives now. The reputation of the minister does not matter, but what he has ruined is His Majesty's reputation. He will destroy us.
We high-ranking families say that we are so unworthy, this is, this is to break the foundation of our Jin Dynasty!"
Zhi Miaoyin's voice slowly sounded: "Master Diao, please don't be so excited. I want to ask you a question. What Liu Yu said just now is about enclosing land to occupy fields, seizing people from shelters, and using gambling.
Are these things true that caused people to go bankrupt and sell off their property?"
Diao Kui's expression changed, and he instinctively wanted to refute, but as soon as he raised his head, he saw Sima Yao's cold eyes looking at him, and even inadvertently blocking his head between him and Zhi Miaoyin.
Suddenly a cold sweat breaks out, and he realizes that he just wanted to have a verbal dispute with Liu Yu on a whim, but he has offended his ex-lover. Even if this wonderful voice is a nun, it seems that he still has an old love for Liu Yu.
Now she has an aristocratic family behind her and the emperor's support, and Liu Yu is the emperor's sharp weapon against high-ranking aristocratic families like herself. Changshan, if she really wants to deal with Liu Yu, she is afraid that she will become the emperor's enemy, and now this
This black emperor is no longer the puppet emperor he was a few years ago who could be manipulated by wealthy families.
Diao Kui's eyes rolled, and he made up his mind not to attack Liu Yu anymore, but to try his best to clear his name. He looked at Zhi Miaoyin, and tried to say in a calm tone: "Master Zhi, our Diao family
There are indeed some properties, but these properties were obtained legally by the ancestors of our Diao family who have devoted their loyalty and service to the country for generations. Just like all aristocratic families, these lands, domestically owned, have title deeds in hand and can withstand His Majesty's inquiry.
, Master, if you have any doubts about this, you are welcome to come and check."
Zhi Miaoyin smiled slightly: "The poor nun is a monk, and Master Diao, as a court official, should be the person who knows the national laws best. How can the poor nun dare to doubt Master Diao in this regard? But Liu Yu said it
With such seriousness, the poor nun is also a little curious and wants to say more. After all, in front of the people of the world, it is best for Master Diao to dispel everyone's concerns."
Diao Kui gritted his teeth: "The Diao family, like other great families, acquired these properties and manors in the right way. If your Majesty intends to take them back, then I have no complaints, as long as a new edict is issued and all are treated equally."
"
Sima Yao said coldly: "Diao Tingwei, there will be court discussions later on this matter of soil destruction, and it will not only target your Diao family. If we really want to implement soil separation, naturally we will treat everyone equally."
, you don’t have to worry about this. As for what Liu Yu just said, that you opened a gambling house to lure others into being deceived, causing others to lose their money, and then taking away their property, is this true? "
A trace of panic flashed in Diao Kui's eyes. He turned to look at the stands on the other side as if asking for help. That was the shed where King Kuaiji and Wang Guobao were. But it was strange today. These two were supposed to be at the front.
The boss didn't even show his face, and now looking over, the two figures were also hidden behind the roller blinds of the shed, and they didn't even mean to say a word for themselves. Diao Kui was very clear in his heart.
, the money spent every year to honor the King of Kuaiji and Wang Guobao is sold in the huge gold cave, which is worth billions. It seems that these two people are not planning to protect it.
Diao Kui gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is no law prohibiting the opening of casinos in the Jin Dynasty, and I have always been law-abiding and have not made any windfalls. This is because our Diao family has a big family business and has many people to support, so we have to find a way.
After getting some money, they opened several casinos, including this horse show. They also followed the country's laws and allowed those prisoners of war and slaves to fight. On the one hand, they allowed them to atone for their sins and gave them a hope of regaining their freedom. On the other hand, they also
It allows the soldiers and civilians who have never been on the battlefield to see with their own eyes what war is like. As for gambling, that is strongly requested by the spectators who come to these casinos and horse shows. Even if there is a fight today, everyone is willing to do so.
We even strongly requested Wei Chen to open a gambling market, but no one was forced to do so."
Sima Yao nodded and his expression softened slightly: "So, opening these casinos, making profits from them, and even making people lose everything is not Liu Yu's lie?"
The cold sweat on Diao Kui's head had turned into beads of sweat the size of soybeans, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. He said: "The casino itself can make people lose their minds. Some people have no wealth, but they spend millions, and then they sell it to the seller."
Although Weichen thinks it is not Weichen's fault, they lost money in the casino after all. If His Majesty thinks this behavior is inappropriate, Weichen is willing to close all casinos immediately, including this theater.
Taiwan, dedicate all its properties to the royal family, and have no complaints."
Sima Yao waved his hand: "Diao Tingwei, what are you talking about? It seems that I have taken a liking to your casino and want to rob it. I really have no interest in these casinos of yours.
"
Diao Kui hurriedly knelt down and said: "The humble minister made a mistake and deserves death!"
Sima Yao curled his lips and said, "Well, in the past, the country was in constant war and money and food were in short supply, so we were open to things like opening casinos. Now that the south is pacified, the barbarians from the north will not go south for a while, and the existence of casinos has made it impossible for them to go south.
The loss of young families and the separation of wives and children, as Liu Yu said, has really become a major cancer that corrupts the folk customs of our country. You, the children of aristocratic families, running such an industry will only make the people's misunderstanding and hatred towards you worse. Over time,
Over time, it will inevitably lead to turmoil within the Jin Dynasty. Liu Yu reminds you in time today for your own good. You should close all these casinos and convert them to other legitimate businesses, and all the fighter slaves will be auctioned off as ordinary slaves. As for
This horse stage will be converted into a military camp, and a section of the Beifu Army will be stationed to monitor Hu Miao in the north. Can this be done?"
How could Diao Kui dare to say no again? He quickly raised his hands and said, "I sincerely obey your Majesty's decree." Then he withdrew.
Sima Yao looked at Liu Yu in the field and said sternly: "Liu Yu, what you said makes sense. I agree with your suggestion and decided to pardon the Xi family and only punish Xi Chao, leaving the rest alone. However, just now you
I once said that I am willing to accept any arrangement from me. Since this is a military camp and you are a soldier, there is no joke in the army. I now order Liu Yu, the leader of the Tiger Force of the Beifu Army, to transform into the Suwei Army from now on.
Lieutenant of the Zuojian Gate, the edict was issued subsequently, Lieutenant Liu, I will see you in the palace of Jiankang City in three days."
