At this juncture, Chen Pei, who had been hiding in the corner, unexpectedly appeared.
Instead of speaking for Zhao Huan, he started mocking him in a weird way.
"I said you are a very careless person. This is a private matter in our family. Why should you, an outsider, get involved?"
"If you want to be a hero and save the beauty, then help me return the seven taels of silver. If you don't have the money, just stay somewhere cool."
Chen Pei looked at Zhao Huan with disgust.
These bastards can do bad things. If they really rescue Chen Yushu, how can they repay the gambling debt they owe?
When he turned around to face Wang Cheng, he quickly put on a flattering smile.
"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Wang. I have nothing to do with this person. It's just him looking for trouble."
Not to mention others, even Wang Cheng looked down on Chen Pei from the bottom of his heart.
But if he wanted to legitimately occupy Chen Yushu, he still needed Chen Pei's nod, so Wang Cheng patiently said with a sneer: "Don't worry, my boss will naturally not harm innocent people."
While talking, Wang Cheng took out a tael of silver from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.
"Seeing that you are so aware of current affairs, this is an extra reward from my boss."
Chen Pei hurriedly bent down to pick up the silver and stuffed it into his waistband. His face was filled with joy, and he thanked Wang Cheng profusely.
In order to continue to gain Wang Cheng's favor, Chen Pei also deliberately turned around and made sarcastic remarks to Zhao Huan.
"Did you see it?"
"My boss Wang is truly wealthy. Every time he makes a move, he will be rewarded with one tael of silver."
"You guys can't even get out seven taels of silver, and yet you still imitate other heroes to save a beautiful woman. It's really ridiculous."
"You will be in trouble if you offend Boss Wang's family today!"
Chen Yushu felt a chill in her heart. These bullies and gamblers didn't know Zhao Huan at all. In other words, they would never come into contact with officials above the fifth rank in their lives, let alone the majestic King Ding of the Song Dynasty?!
It's okay for Wang Cheng to be arrogant, but Chen Pei, an idiot, actually followed suit and added insult to injury.
It was extremely shameless to sell his life for just a tael of silver.
Chen Yushu was just about to say something to remind Chen Pei not to leave and never return on the road to death, but at this moment, Zhao Huan's sneer rang out.
"Today I have really opened my eyes to how the word "gamble" can cause such harm to people."
"Emperor Taizong once issued an edict that those who work in the capital city will be arrested by the Kaifeng Prefecture. The offenders will be beheaded. Those who open the counter will be punished with the same crime."
"Only the three major holidays of Winter Solstice, Cold Food and New Year's Day are open for three days. Other than that, those who gamble during the rest of the time will be severely punished."
"It turns out that there is a treasure bureau with such a prosperous business in Bianjing City. This is a violation of the law knowingly, and the crime is aggravated!"
Wang Cheng's arrogant laughter spread throughout the street.
"Hahaha, what a fool who knows the law."
"You are right. It is strictly forbidden to open any gambling bureau in the city, but I just opened it. What can you do to me?"
"The entire Dongcheng belongs to me. Whoever dares to report to Kaifeng Mansion will have his entire family dead without any body parts!"
"With these mud-legged people, even if I lend them a hundred courages, they won't dare to go against me."
"On the contrary, you are young and have a good tone. Since you are tired of living, I will help you."
"Call me. After cooking this ugly thing, my boss will treat you to a drink."
As soon as these words came out, all the clerks and gamblers cheered suddenly. The eyes they looked at Zhao Huan became more and more ferocious, as if the "little pretty face" in front of them was just a lamb to be slaughtered.
At this moment, Sun He ran to Zhao Huan in one breath.
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and growled: "You step over my body first!"
Faced with the threat of the dung bully, the eyes of all the treasure bureau clerks turned out to be even more contemptuous.
"Then you go die together!"
"Looking for death, hit me!"
Just when more than thirty bullies and gamblers were about to swarm Zhao Huan and teach Zhao Huan how to behave, several men in plain clothes with unsightly appearance rushed from the alley with extremely fast and fierce momentum.
Before anyone could react, the three bullies who rushed in front were beheaded on the spot.
Blood splashed everywhere, and the strong and pungent smell of blood instantly filled the alley.
The crowd, which had been so aggressive just now, suddenly wilts.
Everyone stared blankly at the three corpses and the men with knives who suddenly came out, and their faces turned pale with fright.
"Kill...kill someone?!"
"Hurry, call the officer, call the officer!"
"It's no big deal. If the Kaifeng Mansion sends someone here, none of us can escape. Don't forget, we are all Bao Bureau's buddies."
Nowadays, in troubled times, the court, which originally strictly prohibited gambling, has gradually turned a blind eye.
As long as they are not seeking death, most of the imperial court is too lazy to pay attention to private gambling.
But ever since the governor of Kaifeng embraced Prince Ding, life at the Bianjing Baoju Gambling House became increasingly difficult.
Now there is only one Chang Yun Bao Bureau left.
If Zhao Shiyan finds out about this, he will definitely kill everyone in the Changyun Bao Bureau.
Wang Cheng was also shocked. Although he was also involved in a murder case, he just led the crowd to do it, hoping that the law would not punish the crowd.
And these few people in front of me kill people like chickens, which is called neat.
Wang Cheng couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm: "How dare you kill people in broad daylight?"
The first man holding a knife in front of Zhao Huan shouted angrily: "Why don't you dare?!"
"It would be a pity for you to die if you commit any of the following offenses!"
The following is wrong?
After all, Wang Cheng is an old Jianghu, so his words obviously sounded wrong, and he gradually became nervous: "You... who are you?"
The plainclothes man snorted coldly: "Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"
Under the gaze of everyone, the man pulled out a badge from his waist, which was the certificate of the Kaifeng Prefecture's military commander!
"Kaifeng Mansion?!"
Following Wang Cheng's exclamation, all the clerks and gamblers around him were trembling with fear.
"It's hard...could it be said that Kaifeng Prefect already knows about the existence of Changyun Bao Bureau and asked you to come and get people?"
"Adults, I just take a dip in the middle, but I never go directly to the gambling game."
Wang Cheng was completely panicked. He, the bully who brought trouble to Dongcheng, was frightened to death when faced with the Kaifeng Mansion's police.
The leader, Wu Wei, had extremely cold eyes: "Master Zhao has known about the Changyun Bao Bureau for a long time. He originally planned to take a long-term approach to catch big fish. When all the gamblers gather together, he will catch them all in one fell swoop."
"You are seeking death and dare to harm the prince. I will punish you today!"
Prince?
Everyone at the scene looked at each other in confusion. They didn't understand why such a dirty place had anything to do with the prince.
and……
Where is the figure of the prince around?
Everyone glanced back and forth. The clerks and gamblers were all familiar faces. Sun He, the scumbag, also had a reputation, but the man standing opposite with his hands behind his back was extremely unfamiliar.
