"The lower official has seen Hu Xianbo."

Li Wangyou returned the gift: "Lu Ming Mansion, I was passing by the Gui Ya, and when I saw someone report to the official, I came to watch out of curiosity, it's so disturbing."

"What are you talking about, Uncle Huxian? Please sit down." Although Lu Dejing knew that the relationship between Li Wangyou and the aristocratic family was worrying, he was only a collateral branch of Fan Yang's Lu family, so he would not offend Li Wangyou because of this.

What's more, after Li Wangyou was promoted to the county uncle of Jianguo County, his official rank was already higher than that, so he would naturally not lose his courtesy.

Li Wangyou smiled and waved his hands, saying that he could just stand aside and watch, Lu Dejing could only salute again, and returned to the courtroom to prepare for the trial.

The case is very simple, as the people who escorted Fang Dalang to see the official said, the father of this disobedient son died early, and his mother Fang brought him up.

But when Fang Dalang grows up, he hangs out with the Qingpi in Chang'an City, and he is infected with a bad disease all over his body, and the neighbors usually don't want to see him.

Fang Dalang likes to gamble on weekdays, and he often goes in and out of gambling houses.

Originally, people in Tang Dynasty were fond of gambling, so this book is fine.But ordinary people just gamble for fun, but Fang Dalang is a big gambler.

Some of the copper coins his mother had worked so hard to save were all sent to the gambling house by him, not only that, but he also owed a lot of bad debts.

Today he lost copper coins in the gambling house again, annoyed for a moment and eager to make money, so he ran home, rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find copper coins.

After being stopped by his mother, this guy turned into a rage and made a move on his mother.

After the neighbors in the neighborhood found out about the matter of the Fang family, everyone became angry for a moment, surrounded Aunt Fang, and escorted the disobedient son to see the official.

Aunt Fang felt sorry for her son, and when she came to this hall, she suddenly regretted it again.The old woman kept saying that her son didn't beat her, but she accidentally fell down and was misunderstood by the neighbors.

Aunt Fang defended her son, so naturally this crime of disobedience cannot be punished.

Although Lu Dejing was annoyed, he also understood Aunt Fang's love for being a parent. In the end, he could only find some excuses and asked the yamen servant to beat Fang Dalang twenty times and drive him out of the county yamen.

Li Wangyou shook his head again and again, he didn't believe that such an abusive gambler would repent because of this beating.

However, Fang Dalang's mother was unwilling to watch her son be beheaded, and others could do nothing about it.

The people in the lobby dispersed, and Li Wangyou met Lu Dejing again.

"Lu Mingfu, these gambling houses are really abominable, the sage should order to ban these harmful gambling houses." Li Wangyou said angrily.

However, Lu Dejing shook his head: "Master Huxian doesn't know that these gambling houses are really dirty and often cause troubles. There have been debates on whether gambling should be banned in the court, but..."

He lowered his voice and continued: "However, who owns those gambling shops, Huxian Bo knows?"

Li Wangyou naturally didn't know the mystery, so he could only shake his head.

"In Chang'an City, there are a total of 72 gambling houses, large and small, all of which are controlled by nobles of various states and noble families of five surnames and Qiwang." Lu Dejing explained in a low voice.

This matter is actually not a secret, even the government officials in Wannian County in Chang'an City are well aware of it, and Li Er, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, is even more aware of it.

People in Tang Dynasty like to gamble, so gambling workshops naturally blossomed everywhere in Chang'an City.

Even Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and other state lords have gambling houses in Chang'an City.

So it is really too difficult to ban gambling in Chang'an City.Even if someone raised it in the court, it would be difficult to pass the court meeting.

It was the first time for Li Wangyou to hear such a thing, and he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

This gambling house is where the income of the major families lies, and it is not easy to ban gambling.If he, Li Wangyou, dared to propose a ban on gambling, I'm afraid that old man Cheng Yaojin would kill him right away.

Wanting to understand this, Li Wangyou could only smile wryly and shake his head.

In fact, he sells lottery tickets with Li Er, so why not openly gamble.

Even the large-scale polo field and polo league that Li Wangyou is planning will not be able to get rid of gambling at that time. He really has no position to propose a ban on gambling.

Wanting to understand this, Li Wangyou could only bid farewell to Lu Dejing in embarrassment, left the Wannian County Government Office, got on his horse and continued towards the Qiu Mansion.

Before he had gone far, he saw a somewhat familiar figure entering a courtyard in Xuanyangfang.

There was a pick hanging at the gate of the courtyard impressively, with the words "Yongyi Gambling Workshop" written on it.

Li Wangyou was stunned, isn't this the same Fang Dalang who was beaten [-] times in the court just now?How could he limp and go to gamble after leaving the county office?It's really a talent!

Li Wangyou didn't bother to take care of this kind of nonsense. Sooner or later, this kind of excessive gambler would die because of it, so he didn't deserve sympathy.

When he was about to leave, he was surprised to notice that there was a sign in front of the gambling house, and what was written on it made Li Wangyou dumbfounded.

It's really crazy, can this kind of thing be gambled?

Why is the master behind Yongyi Casino so courageous?Aren't you afraid that Li Er will become angry from embarrassment and destroy their nine clans?

Li Wangyou thought for a while, turned his horse's head and headed towards the Wannian County Government.

Seeing Li Wangyou go and come back, he hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "I met the county uncle Hu, but I still have something to look for in Mingfu?"

Li Wangyou shook his head: "No, I have something to ask you. As for Yongyi Casino, do you know where it came from? Which one is behind it?"

Several yamen servants looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and replied in a low voice: "Huihu county uncle, he is the Wang family of Taiyuan."

Li Wangyou suddenly realized that only five surnames and seven Wangs could do such a thing.

Didn't you see that they forced Li Er to return Li Yuan in the Tai Chi Hall, and Li Er had nothing to do with them.

After figuring out the owner behind Yongyi Gambling Workshop, Li Wangyou didn't go to Qiu's Mansion anymore. He greeted Niu Wu and went straight back to Dingzhou Village...

426 A certain bet!

As soon as Li Wangyou returned to the mansion, he summoned the old butler Li Heng.

"Li Heng, how much money is there in the mansion now?"

"Does your lord need any money? The gold used to build the camp has been handed over to the Ministry of Industry. Now there are more than 1 taels of gold and more than [-] copper coins in the mansion. You and Mrs. Su have both ordered you to spend as much money as possible." The copper coins were exchanged for gold, so there are not many copper coins in the mansion." When Li Heng talked about the money in the mansion, his face was full of pride.

A few months ago, he thought the sky was falling.

Especially when the little master was expelled from the clan, asked for all the family property, and was burdened with a huge debt of 200 million yuan, and all the slaves and maidservants in the family were released... All these blows made Li Heng even have the idea of ​​committing suicide for a while.

If it wasn't for being reluctant to part with his husband, he would have gone underground to follow his old master.

Unexpectedly, in just a few months, the little master seemed to be a different person.Li Heng, who watched Li Wangyou grow up, once had an illusion, wondering if his husband had changed.

Now not only are all the debts of the family paid off, but even the amount of wealth is unprecedented when the old master was there.

Not to mention that Lang Jun has not only been knighted, but has been knighted twice in a few months, and he is already the county uncle of the founding country.

You know, although Li Zhou was trusted by Li Yuan, he was never a knight.

Li Wangyou's current achievements, in Li Heng's view, can be said to be glorious and glorious.For this reason, he has gone to Li Zhou's grave to cry several times.
