Wang Cheng was so frightened that his legs were shaking violently and his pants were all wet.
The prince in front of him, even the most powerful minister in the dynasty, did not dare to be aggressive with him, but only dared to scheme behind his back.
If Zhao Huan is offended, even the court officials may die without a burial place.
These gamblers who had violated the law could only be slaughtered like chickens and dogs in front of Zhao Huan.
"My lord, please forgive me. I have several children to feed in my small family."
Looking at the gambler who was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, Zhao Huan's eyes never wavered.
"How dare you use your family to blackmail me!"
"If you had any conscience at all, you wouldn't let your family live and die by gambling."
"Scum like you are gambling on your top, selling your mother, daughter-in-law and children. There is no humanity at all."
"Instead of waiting for you to lose miserably and go back to sell your children, I will kill you first!"
"kill!"
Click!
Kaifeng Prefecture's Wuwei's sword is very sharp, and he never needs a second blow to kill someone.
Heads were falling one by one, and the smell of blood at the scene was extremely pungent, like purgatory.
The treasure bureau clerks and gamblers were so frightened that they were almost insane.
But the poor people who were hiding in their homes and snooping secretly clapped their hands and cheered.
"Well done!"
"As expected of King Ding."
"These bastards, in addition to gambling, they also engage in stealing, seeking wealth and killing people. If they are caught in the Kaifeng Mansion, they may be able to survive for a while. When they meet King Ding, they can be punished on the spot, which will be very satisfying!"
"I've been hearing about King Ding's ferocity all day long, and today I saw the real person. It's just like the rumors."
"It will be bad luck for these beasts if they meet King Ding."
The poor people living in Dongcheng have been oppressed by this group of gamblers and have long hated them.
Now someone finally came to make the decision for them. Although it was a little bloody, it still made their blood boil. They looked at Zhao Huan with eyes full of admiration and gratitude.
"My lord, please forgive me. My friends and I went to Baoju to join in the fun. We just gambled once. We came here just to watch the fun."
Zhao Huan's eyes were extremely vicious. Although the scene was chaotic, he did see this kid standing there and did not rush up with others.
Zhao Huan glanced at Sun He: "Do you know this person?"
Sun He nodded: "As for the prince, he lives on this street. He is also a filthy man and a filial son."
"If I got involved today, I'm afraid I'd be harmed by my friends."
After confirming that the man was not a gambler, Zhao Huan's face remained serious.
"This is your first offense, so I will spare you this time."
"But remember, stay away from the gambling table. If you dare to gamble again and you are caught by Kaifeng Mansion's police, I will personally chop your head off!"
That shit man kowtowed as if he was being pardoned, crying and laughing at the same time.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me. I will never dare to do it again. From now on, I will stay away from the gambling table and go home to honor my mother."
Changfu went over, grabbed the man's clothes, pulled him up from the ground, and kicked him on the butt: "Get out of here, don't come back again!"
The dung man saved his life, howled happily, and ran away without looking back.
After dealing with the gamblers, the next step is the Fortune Treasure Game.
"Kill all the guys from Changyunbao Bureau."
The entire street was once again filled with howls like a slaughtered pig.
Unfortunately, what's the use of begging for mercy when death is imminent? In the blink of an eye, all the Bao Bureau clerks were executed on the spot, leaving only Wang Cheng.
When Wang Cheng saw Zhao Huan's eyes, he was already wilting. He knew that he would definitely die today and no longer expected to survive, so he lay on the ground, kowtowed to Zhao Huan and begged.
"The young man was blind and did not recognize the prince. He deserves death. I beg the prince to only kill the young man and not to harm his family."
Hearing this, Zhao Huan couldn't help laughing on the spot.
"His crime involves his family? This king is not that cruel."
"When the Kaifeng Prefecture sends someone to your home and conducts a detailed inspection, except for the money left for your family to live on, all the ill-gotten wealth will be confiscated."
"The money you make by opening a gambling bureau is not yours after all!"
"As for your disrespect to me, I don't care. After all, I will kill you. Why waste my energy on getting angry with you?"
As Zhao Huan finished speaking, Wang Cheng was naturally unable to escape death.
The messenger from Kaifeng Prefecture went back to call for help, cleaned up the streets and alleys, and then led the team directly to the Changyun Bao Bureau to continue to kill all the people who deserved to be killed in order to uphold the law of the country.
When Zhao Huan looked at Chen Pei, Chen Pei's expression changed unpredictably.
Sometimes it turns pale from fear, sometimes it turns red from excitement.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for us father and daughter."
Looking at Chen Pei's shameless face, Zhao Huan smiled: "Changfu."
"My subordinates are here, what are your orders from the prince?"
Zhao Huan raised his hand and pointed at Chen Pei: "Throw him into the well."
"As you command!"
Chang Fu and Sun He looked at each other, went up and knocked Chen Pei down, lifted him up and walked towards the wellhead.
Chen Pei was so frightened that he flailed around and wailed: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Although I participate in gambling, I am Chen Yushu's biological father after all."
"Please, for Yushu's sake, please spare my life."
"Yushu, good girl, why are you still standing there? Please help daddy to beg for mercy."
Chen Yushu clenched her fists and hesitated to speak, looking extremely embarrassed.
On the one hand, she hated Chen Pei, and on the other hand, as a daughter, she really couldn't watch her father being executed.
In the end, the childish side prevailed.
Chen Yushu knelt down weakly, wiping her tears constantly, and cried out sadly: "Please, Your Majesty... please let my father live."
"The slave family has nothing to repay, so they are willing to die for my father to repay her for giving birth."
As soon as Zhao Huan raised his hand, Chang Fu and Sun He stopped.
Zhao Huan took the initiative to pull Chen Yushu up from the ground and sighed softly.
"You girl, you are not only smart, but also loyal and honest. The most important thing is that like Xiaochai, you are never ambiguous when you should be brave."
"If you didn't have such a holding back father, let alone enter the palace, you could marry anyone and live a good life."
"Even if you are dragged down so badly, are you still willing to follow the filial piety of your children?"
Chen Yushu wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled bitterly: "What can I do? As a child, you can choose everything, except your parents."
"If I don't plead for my biological father, how can an unfilial daughter like me be worthy of the prince's love?"
Zhao Huan's eyes lit up: "Well said!"
"I have personally assigned you to serve the princess. No one can drive you out of the palace except me and the princess."
Chen Yushu felt as if she was in a dream and looked at Zhao Huan blankly: "The prince has already rescued the slave family once, and now he takes action again. How can the slave family be so virtuous and capable?"
Zhao Huan smiled lightly: "I just can't bear to see a strong woman like you suffer."
Zhao Huan did not say it clearly, but he actually saw the shadow of Zhu Lian in Chen Yushu.
