The next day, Wang Qingshan followed Ye Ziyu out the door with dark circles under his eyes.

"County Magistrate Wang, according to the promise you made to my master last night, we should start taking action now. If we delay any further, they might notice. Or do you have any other needs? If so, please tell me and I will satisfy you."

Ye Ziyu had a blank expression on her face, and the Jinyiwei behind her were already eager to try.

Wang Qingshan didn't sleep at all last night. He kept thinking of a solution, but unfortunately he didn't have any good idea until dawn.

He also received some unexpected news from his son.

Some of their family's businesses were still in operation and had not been closed down as previously ordered by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

On the surface, the place is closed, but they have already moved their location and opened a new gambling house somewhere else. I'm afraid they can't escape this time.

It's the same on his side, and it is estimated that the industries under the county magistrate are also not closed. Although they have given instructions in advance, the people under them may not take their words to heart.

No one is willing to give up the monthly income of more than 100,000 taels.

The result of pretending to obey but actually disobeying is that they have to reveal more, but they cannot resist. If they resist, they may even be killed.

"No request. I still need to go to the government office to mobilize the constables. I hope you won't give me so little time. If you are worried, you can come with me."

He nodded, and then he personally watched Wang Qingshan and mobilized all the detectives in the yamen to go and seal off the casino and opium den.

During the entire process, the Jinyiwei followed behind him closely, and there was no chance to notify him in advance.

He originally wanted to get away with it, until Ye Ziyu took out a list with their detailed investigation results during this period. The industries under each family were marked very clearly on it, and there was no way to evade it. Wang Qingshan could only bring people to seal it off in tears.

"Wait, Lord Wang, your eyesight seems to be poor, or you can't read. Do you need me to read the contents of the list to you? There are clearly two casinos operating in this alley. Why don't you just go in?"

Wang Qingshan had a hard time expressing his grievances, as these two casinos belonged to the county magistrate.

All the income went into the pocket of the county magistrate. He originally wanted to test the waters to see if he could turn a blind eye and let it go, but Ye Ziyu didn't give him any face at all.

"It's my negligence. We didn't know it even though we were going in and sealing it now."

"It's not us, it's you who are following Lord Xu's orders. We just need to supervise from the side. It's better to let the brothers in the government office take the credit."

Ye Ziyu sneered. He didn't care what the other party said to him or what conspiracy the other party had. He only followed Xu Feng's orders throughout the whole process.

The only order Xu Feng gave him was to keep an eye on the people in the yamen, and other than that, not to interfere too much in other matters, so he would definitely not intervene directly.

The county magistrate was the last one to learn that his two casinos had been closed down. He was so angry that he couldn't even eat, but he could do nothing but watch.

"You are all a bunch of losers. I told you not to listen to me, and now you have suffered huge losses and you dare to come crying in front of me."

Huang Wenzhong was furious and kicked the person in charge of the matter several times on the spot.

In fact, the biggest responsibility for this incident lies with himself. Unexpectedly, he did not take Honglian seriously.

If he had strictly ordered the store to be closed, this wouldn't have happened.

"At the end are the three casinos in Jianfeng Mountain. Two of them have been closed, and the last one is still operating in secret."

"Lord Xu has instructed us to take special care of the assets of Jianfeng Mountain. County Magistrate Wang, I believe you understand what I mean. I'm sure you won't make it difficult for me."

Ye Ziyu licked the corner of her lips while riding on the horse. According to Xu Feng's character, the silver confiscated this time must be shared by his brothers.

If it weren't for Xu Feng's order, they would have wanted to take action themselves. Everyone on the scene was a killing god who had been on the battlefield. Even if they didn't take action, just standing by would make people feel pressured. How could Wang Qingshan dare to say anything more?

"Of course, I'll follow Lord Xu's arrangements. Don't worry, I won't let anyone go."

"Very good, Lord Wang is indeed sensible. If that's the case, then what are we waiting for?"

The casino manager was taken into custody without receiving any news. At first, when he saw the people from the yamen, he didn't take them seriously and greeted them with a smile, thinking that they were coming in to play a few games.

After being pushed to the ground, he immediately became obedient.

"Master Wang, you'd better give me an explanation for this matter."

Seeing that the other party couldn't see the situation clearly, Wang Qingshan became furious. He picked up a chair next to him and smashed it down until the other party's head was bleeding. Only then did he stop.

"Well, does this explanation satisfy you?"

"Lord Wang is still strong despite his age. It's really refreshing."

Ye Qingshan praised from the side, then stood aside silently, watching the constables from the county government carry out the valuables in boxes.

The casino's profits are extraordinary. In addition to the shadow of agarwood, there are also some mortgaged antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and other valuable treasures.

No wonder these people can't hold back and can't wait any longer.

Coincidentally, this casino is managed by Sakonjo, but he and his good father-in-law, Master Feng, got drunk last night.

By the time he woke up and rushed to the scene, it was too late.

My originally groggy mind suddenly became clear.

There were three general flag bearers nearby, and hundreds of other people directly cordoned off the entire casino inside and out. Outsiders could only stand by and watch the fun without daring to get close.

Although Zuo Kuncheng was furious, he didn't dare to vent his anger on the spot. After such a big mess, his status in Jianfeng Mountain would plummet.

The only solution is to deal with this matter as soon as possible and then cover it up afterwards, pretending that nothing happened. The key is that he doesn't know what the situation is now.

"Why are the people from the government office mixed up with the Jinyiwei? Shouldn't they be on the same side as us?"

"Could it be that Huang Wenzhong intends to join forces with the Jinyiwei to eliminate dissidents and seize all the assets for himself?"

It's no wonder that Zuo Jincheng had such an idea. They were able to open a gambling house right under the nose of the government, and the annual tribute to Huang Wenzhong was not a small amount, so the other party always turned a blind eye.

If you act suddenly, there will inevitably be unexpected changes that you are not aware of.

The most important thing now is to understand the whole story of this matter as soon as possible and trace it back to its source so that it can be solved, and there is no time to waste.

Seeing everyone loading boxes of valuables onto the carriage, Zuo Jincheng felt a pang of pain.

He did not show up, but disappeared quietly into the crowd.
