Chapter 160 Don't Let Me down

Nanyu Town, gold shaking gambling house.

The gold-shaking gambling houses were all over the world, and they were the leaders of the gambling houses, but no one knew who the boss behind the gambling houses was. Anyone who wanted to provoke the gold-shaking gambling houses, regardless of their status and background, would be dealt with very badly, making people dare not underestimate them.

At this moment, in the private room on the second floor of the gambling house, Wanyan Lin's left hand slowly waved the folding fan. If his eyes seemed to sweep over the ledger on the table, a sneer hung from the corner of his mouth.

The manager of the gambling house was sweating profusely, but he didn't even dare to wipe his forehead. He stood there, waiting for Wanyan Lin's instructions.

Nanyu Town was rich and prosperous, but because of greed, the income at Wanyan Lin's disposal was pitiful. It was not as good as an ordinary town. How could Wanyan Lin not be angry?

"The warden's appetite is not small. 80 % of the profits from the gambling house are in his pocket." Wanyan Lin sneered, most disgusted with such a greedy person.

"Prefecture's father-in-law is a court official, gu tai fu. He has taken most of the profits from Nanyu Town and his subordinates have fought against him. As a result, no one dares to come to the gambling house to have fun, not even 20 % of the profits." The steward replied with trepidation. How did he know that this place was so difficult to do? Otherwise, he would not have rushed over to be the steward.

"That's because your methods are too gentle." Wanyan Lin's tone was gentle, without the slightest hint of anger, but anyone familiar with him knew that this sentence was murderous.

The steward bowed his head and did not say a word. He did not have the courage to kill the court officials, but the task assigned by the master was not completed well and there was no good fruit to eat.

"I heard that Heihu is dead?" After putting down the folding fan, yan lin picked up the teacup and took a sip. Her eyes fell on her right hand, which looked normal on her knees.

"Yes, it seems that he was killed by people from all over the world and his finances were ransacked," the steward reported quickly.

Wanyan Lin curled his lips and smiled, his disappointed eyes on the steward. His thin lips said softly, "Foolish, how can people from all over the world spare so much time to deal with such scum? Even the whole house has been ransacked."

"Master means..." The steward was slightly surprised and soon understood what Wanyan Lin meant, but his back was covered in cold sweat. Why didn't he expect this method to break Prefecture's arm apart from this disaster? The profits of the gambling house would naturally increase. "It's all incompetence of the subordinates. Please punish the master."

Glancing at the steward kneeling in front of him, Wanyan Lin said coldly, "I'll give you one last chance. If you can't bring the gambling house back to life within a month, you won't have to see me."

The manager was so scared that he almost lost his control of himself, even though his words were still so gentle, which meant that he had to move Prefecture down within a month.

"Yes." The steward received the order and quickly bowed down.

Gray came in at this time and cupped her hands to Wanyan Lin, "Young master, princess ni shang, the Yan Country, was not taken away. Her subordinates have seen her in the downtown area, and she was accompanied by a young girl. They don't seem to want to go to Prefecture for help and are trying to find a way out of the city."

"Hands are quick." Wanyan Lin smiled lightly, put down the teacup, and tidied up his clothes, "Since we are working together, we must show some sincerity. You can arrange for princess ni shang to leave the city."

"Yes." Gray nodded and was about to leave, but Wanyan Lin called her back.

"If the road is too easy, the hatred level will decrease. Do you understand?" Wanyan Lin asked in a plausible manner.

"I understand. I will send someone to escort princess ni shang along the way." Gray did not ask the reason, but only obey orders.

Wanyan Lin nodded with satisfaction. When he was alone in the room, he raised his left hand and stroked his right hand, which could not even hold the teacup. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

For the past three years, Wanyan Lin has been trying to replace it with his left hand. Whether it is writing, painting, or sword dancing, his left hand can do it. However, one hand is different from two hands, and many things are inconvenient.

"Yue, the price is too high for you to stay with me forever. But it's worth it to trade one hand for your life. I hope your return will not disappoint me." Wanyan Lin muttered to himself, not intending to look for Su Mianyue right now, and the soft light in his eyes might not even be clear to him.

As a superior, falling in love with a woman is the worst thing. Although Wanyan Lin's feelings for Su Mianyue are not pure, they are irreplaceable to other women.

On the official road leading to the temple, a bright and luxurious carriage leisurely walked. The voices of the two women in the carriage rang out, but it was a tiresome noise, like a crow on a treetop, wishing they could stop their mouths.

"Mother, you have to make the decision for me. That bitch's bastard dared to humiliate me in public and ask his daughter to see Childe Bai." The young girl was full of jewelry and her face was covered with a thick layer of powder, which covered up the purity of her twenty-eight years, but she pretended to be coquettish and annoying, which made her nauseous.

The woman sitting on the side was also covered in gold and silver jewelry. She wished she could put on all the valuable jewelry in the ordinary way, which made her luxurious clothes lose its splendor.

"Zi' er, don't worry. A mother will make the decision for you. A concubine's son can't climb over your head. Let's go to the temple and stay for two days. If your father doesn't bring that bitch to you to plead guilty, we won't go back home. Your grandfather will deal with them then." The woman spoke viciously, clearly disrespecting her husband.

This woman was Prefecture's first wife, Grand Preceptor Gu's eldest daughter Gu Zhen, and the girl was Gu Zhen's only flesh and blood, and Prefecture's only legitimate son.

Gu Zhen had to take a concubine for Prefecture because he died on his own and hurt his body after giving birth to his daughter, Zhu Ziqi. Prefecture had two sons and three daughters, but they were all suppressed by Gu Zhen and her daughter as if they were from a small family. In order to set off their status as mother and daughter.

However, gu tai fu's prestige in the court was getting higher and higher. Prefecture dared not say anything, but at most secretly compensated his concubines and paved the way for them.

At this moment, Zhu Ziqi's face was full of pride, but before she could flatter Gu Zhen, she was thrown out by the carriage. The fat bodies of the mother and daughter were pressed together, making a howling and wailing sound.

"Dog slave, how did you drive?" Zhu Ziqi lay on Gu Zhen's body and didn't fall too hard. He was struggling to get up, pointing at the coachman and shouting at him.

The coachman did not dare to answer, but his leg was crushed by the frightened horse, and he could not move at this moment, so he could only plead for it.

"Ahhh, how is this fat pig? He still has the strength to yell." A soft voice of a young girl was heard, and then a yellow figure rushed over, kicking Zhu Ziqi, who had just got up, to the ground, and then bent over to look at Gu Zhen, who had lost two front teeth. "This old woman fell so badly. Who will be responsible for taking her away?"

Along with the young girl in yellow, there were four other young girls, the five monkeys that Su Mianyue had brought out of his master's school.

"Wu, don't make any more trouble. Who can handle these two fat pigs? Let them go with you. You'll have to suffer for delaying sister's big event." The boy of fourteen or fifteen came out with a long sword in his hand. The wind of the sword cut off the bun on Gu Zhen's head. He looked at Gu Zhen like a madman with disgust and shouted, "If you know what's going on, tie it up by yourself. I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, don't blame the sword in my hand for not having eyes."

Gu Zhen was so frightened that his fat body trembled and he forgot the pain in his body for a while. He hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "This young man, please forgive me. My husband is the grand chief of Nanyu Town, my father is the grand master of the dynasty, and my sister is the empress of the dynasty. As long as you let me go, you can get as much money as you want. Even if you want to be an official in the court, it's no problem. Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Seeing that Gu Zhen looked like a bear, the young man rolled his eyes speechlessly. He pointed his sword at Zhu Ziqi, who was trembling beside him, and ordered, "Write a letter to your father immediately. Tell him that you have been kidnapped. Ask him to come down to Qinghua Temple with two hundred taels of silver to redeem you. If he loses one or two taels of silver, the young master will break a part of you. Also, tell him to stay calm. If he dares to bring his troops here, he will be ready to collect your bodies."

"Ah!" Zhu Ziqi screamed out in fright. The young woman in yellow immediately stepped forward and gave her another foot. She kicked Zhu Ziqi to the ground and tore off a piece of her robe and threw it on the ground. "Write immediately, or I'll chop off your hands."

"Write... I'll write..." Zhu Ziqi was so frightened that tears streamed down his face. The rouge and powder on his face were so thick that it was not disgusting. But after shaking his hands for a long time, he cried, "How can I write without pen and ink?"

The young man frowned, and with a wave of his sword, he cut a big hole in Gu Zhen's arm. Gu Zhen screamed in pain. The young woman in yellow immediately ran over, picked up a piece of soil and stuffed it into Gu Zhen's mouth, which stopped her voice from disturbing the people.

Zhu Ziqi clenched his lips in fear that he would be treated the same way if he cried out. He quickly wrote a letter in Gu Zhen's blood.

"Eighth, you have quick legs. Send the letter to your sister and let her see if it works. Liuu and Shi, you two are responsible for cleaning up the traces. Wu and I will take the person away and wait for the money to be counted." The young man laughed and looked at gu zhen's mother and daughter.

At this moment, Su Mianyue was not idle, so she specially dressed Biwu up to get close to the young master of the zhu family who was drinking. She did not intend to let Gu Zhen and her daughter leave alive after collecting the money.

And in Prefecture's mansion, two million taels of silver was just the tip of the iceberg. Su Mianyue's intention was to serve the whole pot.

"The young lady is getting worse and worse. She actually asked her servant to sacrifice her looks. When she returns to the master's door, she will let the master take the blame for me." Biwu flung his cloud sleeves and reluctantly walked out of the carriage.

"That's because my baby Biwu is beautiful, isn't it? Don't worry, after this operation, miss, I will definitely be rewarded with a lot of things to make baby Biwu a rich woman." Su Mianyue did not say apologetically, but Prefecture's son was really a piece of cake, a embroidered pillow without any military value, and could it hurt Biwu?

After biwu left, Su Mianyue jumped off the carriage and left with a young man in green.
