Ming Dynasty: I risked my life to teach the prince, the emperor begged me not to die

Chapter 551: So Brave

The news from the gambling house immediately alarmed Wang Youjia. When the fat and bald Wang Youjia heard that the gambling house had lost more than 36,000 taels of silver, his face became extremely ugly!

His most profitable businesses in the capital were nothing more than just one or two: water transport, sand and gravel, and gambling.

The gambling house is undoubtedly the most profitable industry, but now it has to pay out 36,000 taels of silver. This is not a small amount. Wang Youjia said coldly: "Call a few people to pay the other party first. We are a legitimate gambling house. We can't let others win the money and then not let them go."

"Wait until they leave the gambling house, then take back their money and teach them a lesson!"

"Forget it, I'll go over and stop them myself!"

……

On the other side, inside the gambling house.

With so many gamblers eyeing the casino, the reputation of the casino is very important. If you can only win money but not lose money, who will dare to come to your casino to play in the future?
Once the credibility collapses, the gambling house will be completely finished.

So even though Chen Ce won more than 30,000 taels of silver, the gambling house still gave Chen Ce money. Of course, this money was not silver, but the gambling house's bills in the money shop, which could be exchanged at the money shop.

Chen Ce smiled and bowed, "Thank you very much."

He took Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin out of the gambling house. Zhu Houzhao asked Chen Ce excitedly, "Little brother, how did you win?"

"A six dares to attack the other party?"

Chen Ce gave him a sidelong look and said, "Cheating."

"what?"

Chen Ce said: "There is a mechanism on his desk. With a light tap, he can switch the points in the bamboo tube at will. Can't you see it?"

This was the conclusion Chen Ce came to after observing his opponent for a hundred rounds. In other words, the opponent's bamboo tube could be switched to any number as long as he wanted.

"Nine times out of ten you lose in gambling. How can it be so easy to win other people's money? You can't even see that someone is setting a trap for you. You can lose 10,000 taels this time, but what about next time?"

Zhu Houzhao quickly waved his hands and said, "There won't be a next time!"

"These abominable creatures actually dared to play tricks on me. Even I am like this, what about the common people?"

"I don't know how many people have lost their fortunes because of these bastards. I will punish them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the road ahead was blocked.

Chen Ce had anticipated this situation, and he had transferred Li Zhen and all the people from the inner factory over before he came.

Chen Ce narrowed his eyes, looked at the familiar bald head, and smiled: "It turned out to be you."

"Is something wrong?"

Chen Ce had seen this fat, big-eared, bald man at the last banquet hosted by Yang Yuzhen as president of Shuntian Chamber of Commerce.

Of course Wang Youjia also knew Chen Ce. He didn’t say anything when Chen Ce didn’t give him face last time. After all, Chairman Yang Yuzhen was present.

Although he also looked down on Yang Yuzhen, he couldn't lose his temper at the banquet.

It’s different now!
Wang Youjia said coldly, "It's you, the ungrateful thing. I wanted to punish you at the banquet that day, and you dared to cheat in my gambling house today?"

"Don't think I won't touch you just because you're Chairman Yang's friend. Give me back the money!"

Chen Ce was silent for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Do you have connections in the government? Isn't it bullying to do business like this? This is Shuntian Prefecture, under the feet of the emperor, how dare you mess around?" Wang Youjia laughed and said, "It's good that you know. Since you know that I can walk around the capital, why do you dare to mess up in my gambling house?"

Zhu Houzhao was about to speak, but Chen Ce stopped him and asked, "I also know a few people in the government. Why don't you tell me who your backer is? Maybe we all know him and he is our family."

"Who the hell is your family?"

"Kill these bastards for me!"

Chen Ce sighed and said, "I wanted to save you some suffering. I don't want to embarrass you, an ant, but you insisted on doing this."

"I just want to know who in the capital is so bold as to collude with you, a group of despicable businessmen, right under the emperor's nose!"

"Catch me!"

Chen Ce's tone changed and Wang Youjia was confused. What did this mean?
However, before he could react, the alley was filled with knives-wielding internal factory guards.

Wang Youjia was so frightened that he said nervously, "Well, Mr. Chen... we are all friends... you are, haha, misunderstanding, all misunderstanding."

Zhu Houzhao walked forward with his hands behind his back and glanced at Liu Jin, who then slapped him hard in the face with his backhand.

"Misunderstanding your mother!"

"How dare you! You dare to cheat the Crown Prince? And you dare to find someone to take revenge? Who the hell do you think you are?"

"How can an ant like you be appreciated by the Crown Prince and Master Chen? Do you really think you can be so arrogant just because you know a few hangmen in the capital?"

"Don't you see that those ants you know are nothing in front of Master Chen and the Crown Prince?"

Listening to Liu Jin's words, Baldy Wang couldn't help but gasp. He never expected that this so-called Mr. Chen...he, he, he actually knew the prince?

No, isn’t he a friend of President Yang?
Logically speaking, Yang Yuzhen's network of relationships shouldn't be so strong... At the banquet that day, he clearly looked inferior to Chairman Yang in status and position, far inferior.

What on earth is going on?
Liu Jin had a gloomy face and said indifferently: "You said that Master Chen asked you a question just now, and you just answered it, and you don't have to suffer."

"Mr. Chen is kind, but we are not. When you enter the inner factory, we will make you taste the pain!"

"The prince had not intended to deal with you so quickly, but you are looking for death, so you can't blame me, this old servant!"

The bald man who was called Master Jia could no longer be arrogant and said tremblingly: "My lords, I, I, was wrong. Please have mercy on me, lords!"

"I am a villain who has no eyes and cannot recognize a great man. I deserve to die. I beg you gentlemen to show mercy!"

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "You also said that you deserve to die, and you admitted it yourself, so I will grant your wish. Don't worry, I will let you die. Wait for me to investigate carefully to see how many evil things you have done, and then I will decide how to let you die!"

"Send him to the inner factory and interrogate him first!"

"Liu Jin, you are responsible for the interrogation. Interrogate him to death. If he is still alive, I will kill him myself!"

Wang Youjia hurriedly said to Chen Ce: "Mr. Chen, we are friends! I am Yang Yuzhen's friend, Chairman Yang's friend, please spare my life!"

Zhu Houzhao sneered, "When did Yang Yuzhen become my little brother's friend? Didn't he call my little brother his foster father before? Is he getting cocky?"

What the hell!

Wang Youjia’s eyes widened, but at the banquet that day... he didn’t shout!
If he really called me that, would I still dare to be so blind?
Wang Youjia's legs were shaking, urine was flowing down his crotch, and he stammered, "Have mercy, have mercy..."
