Li Zhi smiled and said: "I have been thinking why I can't catch those gamblers, and they are nothing more than gamblers, but there are many dignitaries among those gamblers, and those people were once the pillars of the Tang Dynasty. I see the former pillars lost Because of gambling, my heart aches!"

Jia Ping felt something was wrong.

Didn't I find out about this?

What does it have to do with you?

Li Zhi glanced at him with a smile, "So I gave Baiqi a ten-day deadline. These ten days are my warning to those people. It is not too late to rein in the precipice within ten days. But after all, some people refuse to turn back. So, I It can be regarded as having to be taught and punished."

Pretty!

This thick-skinned Jia Pingan secretly called beautiful.

The most important thing is that Li Zhi is not only thick-skinned, but also dark-hearted. He obviously wanted to take the opportunity to make some people stand up, but he was born to be so compassionate...

This thick and dark technique made Jia Pingan feel that he was far behind.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Zhi was satisfied, "The Jinwu Guard can protect this kind of people, at least they are street envoys."

"Your Majesty is wise." Li Zhi is really good at this, "It's the street envoy Cheng Hao."

Li Zhi sighed, waved his hands and said, "Cheng Hao deserves to die, but there are many talented people among those gamblers, how can I bear it?"

Xu Jingzong got up and said: "Your Majesty, those people are jealous and dare to do anything, how can they deserve your Majesty's pity? I think they should be severely punished!"

Li Zhi's expression was gloomy, "Although I want to be tolerant, I know that the law is merciless, so how about following the law?"

Yu Wenjie said: "Your Majesty, a gambler with a hundred sticks will lose his floating fortune. The death penalty for gamblers is set in Chang'an, but those people are outside the city."

In fact, the laws of the Tang Dynasty were that the rule of man was greater than the rule of law. For example, if a master killed a guilty slave without going through the government, it would cost one hundred sticks;

But in actual operation, slaves and maidservants are similar to animals, and no one cares if they are killed.

Li Zhi sighed, "So, with a stick of eighty, half of the floating wealth is stolen. As for the outside of the city... that is also Chang'an!"

"Your Majesty is merciful!"

Everyone thinks that the emperor is really good.

But Jia Pingan knew that Li Zhi was cruel.

So this series is all performances?

Li Zhi starred, and Xu Jingzong acted passionately.

The two monarchs and ministers settled the matter by singing me and me. Li Zhi gained a good reputation for being kind and talented, and Xu Jingzong continued to run wildly on the road of treacherous ministers.

hiss!

Jia Pingan found that he underestimated Lao Xu.

Later, Jia Ping'an was about to go to Ganye Temple for a walk. As soon as he left the imperial city, he saw dozens of men and women kneeling outside.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is kind, and the entire Yang family is grateful."

What does it mean?

Bao Dong asked the sergeant guarding the gate, and came back and said: "It's the family of those gamblers. They heard that His Majesty was kind enough to lose twenty sticks, and even half of the floating wealth was lost. They are all very touched. They came here to thank you."

Look at the people around, let alone a few hundred, and then spread the word out. It didn't take long for the entire Chang'an city, and even the whole world, to know the emperor's benevolence.

Later, those gamblers were imprisoned and were about to be punished. A small official said casually: "The severity of this rod depends on the person. It just so happens that the subordinates who are here today are all big-bodied people. You wait...it's dangerous! "

If you don't talk about strength, but the number of sticks and responsibilities is playing hooligans.

A gambler tremblingly said: "Then don't beat him to death!"

The little official glanced at him, and said lightly: "Life and death are fateful, blessings...in heaven!"

The gambler was shocked, "A certain person is willing to pay for atonement!"

The little official scolded: "Is that someone who is greedy? Come on, pull it out, and punish me with a stick!"

Someone dragged this person out, and immediately there was the sound of boards being beaten outside.

After the eighty canes were struck, this person was able to come in and circle around.

"Butt hurts!" He was really smart, and after turning around, he even jumped a bit.

Is this what it looks like with eighty boards?

This is clearly a fake beating!

The person cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is so kind, but a certain person has a lot of gambling addiction."

He said in pain: "If you keep the floating wealth, it will still become a bet. If it is confiscated, you can still have a good death. I implore Your Majesty to take all the floating wealth."

Is that okay?

These gamblers all understood. At this time, someone outside said: "After the eighty rods have been beaten, a certain body is still full of strength. Who is below?"

This is the reminder.

A gambler yelled: "I want to quit gambling, please take my floating fortune!"

"Someone is also willing to quit gambling!"

A group of gamblers were weeping and repenting, expressing their willingness to hand over all the floating wealth left in the family, lest they still have gambling funds.

Jia Pingan learned the news the next day.

This is the emperor?

The former kindly said that only half of the floating wealth would be confiscated, but later he used other means to take the remaining half of the floating wealth into his hands.

The name of benevolence is still loud, but the money is already in the bag.

Jia Pingan understood.

Li Zhi didn't care about the life and death of those powerful people at all, what he cared about was money.

This is the real imperial mind!

I'm so shallow!

Jia Pingan felt that he had been taught a lesson by Li Zhi, and he huddled in the duty room in a daze with his whole body cold.
