On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

The reason why Lin Zhen was shocked was not because of the blasphemy, but because this Lama Temple was named by the founding emperor of Daqian. It was a place where emperors of all dynasties burned incense and worshipped. Even Murong Yan had gone to the temple to burn incense and pray when she ascended the throne.

Only Fatty Wang could do such a thing as snatching back the Maitreya Buddha that the emperor used to worship and using it to guard the gate of his own casino.

Alas, I don’t know how angry Murong Yan would be after hearing about this.

But then again, isn't Murong Yan's information gap too big?

You still don’t know what happened the night before yesterday?

Or did someone deliberately conceal this matter?

Lin Zhen vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He knew very little about Tibetan Buddhism, and the original book did not provide much introduction to this temple. He only knew a general idea through his fused memories.

Forget it, I can’t figure it out.

I'd better sit back and wait for the situation to develop.

Zhang Li took light lotus steps and sat side by side with Lin Zhen, legs together and slightly tilted to one side, her posture revealing endless gentleness and charm. She said, "Sir, I heard something recently."

"What's the matter?" Lin Zhen's gaze fell on her gently, with a hint of curiosity and concern in his tone.

"It's about the activities of Sihai Trading Company, Jinpeng Grain Store, and Jiangnan Cloth Shop. I've heard that these merchants have been selling off their inventory at shockingly high prices, causing food prices for the common people to soar. I think there's something fishy going on. Haven't you heard any gossip in the palace?"

Lin Zhen was frank with Zhang Li: "There was a flood in Liaodong, so the Gu family went on a shopping spree."

"Oh, no wonder." Zhang Li sneered faintly and said in a resentful tone, "It seems that the Gu family is going to make a fortune again. Poor people."

"The prince has already sent people to follow up and investigate. As long as there is solid evidence, I can take this opportunity to plunge the Gu family into the abyss."

Zhang Li said with some concern: "But His Majesty will not let the Gu family be completely destroyed, because he needs to use the Gu family to contain the Lin family."

Lin Zhen spoke slowly.

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Gu family is able to contain the Lin family because they have no intention of rebellion. Otherwise, how could the Gu family's few mouths be a match for a 200,000-man army? The emperor understands this, and so he wants to use the Gu family to gradually dismantle the Lin family's military power. So far, it seems to be having some effect, at least there are many wavering soldiers in the Longxiang Camp."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li nodded slightly and listened silently, with a thoughtful glint in her eyes.

Lin Zhen took a sip of tea and continued, "Your Majesty is an emperor who wants to be a wise ruler, so he doesn't want the Lin family's power to threaten him. But if the Gu family doesn't do their job properly, but instead abuses the people, accepts bribes, and brings chaos to Daqian, he will absolutely not allow it."

"The Gu family's mission is to contain the Lin family and dismantle their military power. My mission is to destroy the Gu family's image in the emperor's mind and turn him to cooperate with the Lin family."

At this point, Lin Zhen's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he hugged Zhang Li and put her on his lap.

"Ah! Prince!" Zhang Li exclaimed.

The atmosphere instantly became subtle and profound.

Lin Zhen was unmoved. His hands casually passed under her chest and finally hugged her slender waist.

"As long as the ruler and his subjects are of one mind, then Daqian will dominate the Central Plains under my leadership. And you, my princess, will be mine."

"Prince...please put me down first..." Zhang Li didn't hear anything Lin Zhen said.

Lin Zhen didn't let go.

It’s so comfortable to hug such a soft body.

"Hold on! I'll tell you a way to run the casino more efficiently and increase revenue."

"Yeah." Zhang Li nodded in a mosquito-like voice, and her almond-shaped eyes did not dare to look at Lin Zhen at all.

Lin Zhen put his right arm around her slender waist and his left hand around her ankles. He took the opportunity to reach into her skirt and trouser legs and rubbed back and forth on her smooth, hairless calves.

Zhang Li felt like she was electrocuted. She was trembling but didn't dare to move.

"We can have someone make some wooden chips, either round or square. They'll have the amount on the front and a sign with the word 'hero' on the back. The chips can be exchanged for 50, 100, or 500 copper coins. Silver can be exchanged for 5, 10, 50, 100, or 1,000 taels. Gold can be exchanged for an equivalent amount of silver, but not gold chips."

"If customers want to play in our casino, they must first exchange chips at the counter. They are not allowed to bet with cash or copper coins. Similarly, customers can also exchange chips for cash. In this way, our casino will have its own currency. With the exchange of money here and there, we will increase the daily turnover by several thousand taels of silver. Do you understand?"

Zhang Li narrowed her beautiful eyes, bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, and fluttered her long eyelashes. Her thoughts had already wandered away and she was confused.

Lin Zhen pulled his hand back and rubbed it on her skirt. Zhang Li finally came to her senses and looked at Lin Zhen with a strange look, pouting: "Prince, you are going too far."

"Hahahaha, I'll have Cao Xiong deliver 500 horses into the city later. I'll need your help with this."

"Besides, I don't care." Zhang Li rolled her eyes and simply stopped struggling and sat on Lin Zhen's legs.

That's right, after being touched all over by Lin Zhen in two minutes, it would seem artificial to be shy and coy.

Lin Zhen thought she was having a tantrum, so he pinched her cheek and said, "Don't be angry, just think of it as helping me."

"It's not that I don't want to help, but there's already a lot going on at the casino. Add to that a carriage team, and I'm completely overwhelmed! Please at least let me get some sleep."

Lin Zhen was slightly stunned: "You really don't want to take it? This is a profitable business."

"Why would I need so much money? No matter how much I earn, it's all working for our family."

Wow, these two minutes were not wasted.

It suddenly became our home!

Lin Zhen nodded secretly: "Okay, then I'll find someone else. Come, let's have some fun~ After that, it's time to go home."

"Oh, Prince..."

Zhang Li pushed Lin Zhen's chest vaguely, but didn't push him away, allowing his handsome face to get closer and closer to her.

In an instant, Zhang Li closed her eyes, waiting for the sacred moment to come.

However, at this moment, the door of the box was suddenly knocked.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Sister-in-law, lend me some money! Damn it, Fatty just lost it all again!"

"..."

"..."

Lin Zhen and Zhang Li both had dark lines on their faces.

What a wonderful atmosphere, but it was interrupted by the fat man.

Lin Zhen put Zhang Li down and opened the door angrily, only to see Fatty, Lu Dehao, Kong Wu, Liu Haizhu and a few other henchmen standing outside the door.

Lin Zhen grabbed the fat man by the collar and walked out without saying anything.

"Hey hey hey! Brother! It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! I didn't know you were in my sister-in-law's room!"

"Stop talking nonsense and follow me."

......

When Lu Dehao saw the two men leaving, he followed them.

The three of them walked onto the street. Lin Zhen looked at the fat man unhappily. Just as he was about to curse, he heard the fat man say, "Hey, big brother, I've been helping you a lot these past few days. What's so scary about losing a little money?"

Lu Dehao also joined in: "That's right, big brother, I only lost 600 taels. For people of our status, a few hundred taels of silver is not considered money."

The fat man was grabbed by the hair by Lin Zhen, and he was still grinning foolishly at Lu Dehao: "It's not money to you, but it's a huge sum of money to big brother! Hahahaha."

"Yeah, how could I forget, big brother is a poor guy! Hahahahaha."

"Shut up!" Lin Zhen cursed with a fierce look on his face. "Who the hell asked you for money? Tell me now, what's going on with these two Maitreya Buddha statues!"
