Quick Wear: Crazy Criticism of Villains Asking for Stickers
Chapter 383 Shocked! Princess, he is a man 10
In less than a month, the Yecheng Casino suffered serious losses. Such a big thing must be reported to the behind-the-scenes boss Xiao Muqi.
After Prince Lin learned about this, he realized that someone was deliberately targeting the gambling house.
Although he was unclear about the man's true purpose, Xiao Muqi was very angry because he had lost so much money. He immediately ordered secret guards to guard the gambling house. He wanted to see where the man could hide.
When he catches the person, he must be tortured severely. If he has any conspiracy, we can just ask him directly, no need to talk too much!
The backyard of Xunwang Mansion is about to be built.
"Your Majesty, the gambling house has secretly sent a lot of people. It seems that the secret guards around King Lin have been dispatched. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get away next time."
Xiao Mubei held a stack of silver bills in his hand and counted them again and again with his head down. The salary given to him by the emperor was low, and he was worried about not being able to support the princess before. Now, he was grateful for his second brother's selfless dedication.
"We've made enough money to save our people from having to take risks. Have you found out where the child is being held?"
"It's clear."
"Take action."
"Yes, I obey!"
The next day, a fire broke out accidentally in a gambling house in Yecheng, but no one was injured or killed. The patrol battalion passed by and immediately sent people to put out the fire.
The scene was in chaos, and the patrol battalion found more than a dozen unconscious children in the secret room of the gambling house.
Recently, children have been missing from various places, with the number reaching hundreds. Local officials have reported this to Yecheng, but no results have been found. These children have attracted the attention of the patrol camp.
The people from the patrol camp took the children out of the secret room without deliberately hiding them, and even guided the people to think in certain directions.
In less than a day, the news that gambling houses in Yecheng were involved in the buying and selling of children spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Who is the person behind the gambling house? Why did they attack the children? Will their children at home also be in danger? The people were talking about it and were in a panic for a while.
Eventually, the matter was brought to the attention of officials. There were hundreds of missing children in various places.
Among them are the sons of officials and wealthy businessmen... Now we have unexpectedly found more than a dozen of them, but where are the others? Where have they gone? Are they in danger?
The censors wrote letters to the emperor, requesting him to send the Dali Temple to investigate the case thoroughly and not let the thieves go unpunished.
This kind of child trafficking is simply a provocation to those in power. Wouldn't harming the children of Jin shake the foundation of Jin's future? ?
The emperor was so angry that he lost his temper at the morning court, but he also understood that the matter had become a big deal and he had to intervene even if he didn't want to.
The man behind the gambling house is Prince Lin, and the emperor certainly cannot let the Dali Temple investigate his beloved son.
He temporarily suspended court and secretly summoned Xiao Muqi to the palace to ask him what he was trying to do and how he could do such a heinous thing as buying and selling children!
Xiao Muqi died unjustly. He opened the gambling house to make money and was not involved in any child trafficking or selling. He never expected that there was something mysterious going on in the gambling house.
But those kids were found in his gambling house, making it seem like he was a bad guy.
Prince Lin fell to the emperor's feet, crying and saying:
"Father, please make the decision for me. I was completely unaware of this. It must be someone under your command who used my name to stir up trouble outside. I am absolutely innocent..."
Xiao Muqi finally told the truth, but the emperor didn't believe it at all. He said that his second son was very vicious and had never done anything good.
But the emperor liked the imperial concubine, and since a son's status depends on his mother's, Xiao Muqi's punishment was to be scolded by the emperor.
The emperor felt that he was not telling the truth, and was so angry that he kicked him out of the imperial study, told him to stay in the mansion and wait for news, and not to move around for the time being.
After Xiao Muqi left, the emperor sent the Jinyiwei to investigate the child trafficking case, and instructed the leader of the Jinyiwei that if the case was linked to Prince Lin, he should cover it up and find a scapegoat.
When Xiao Mubei heard the news, a sneer appeared on his face. He really doted on that son.
Humph, there's no point in covering it up. The rumor that King Lin is the boss behind the gambling house will spread quickly.
Even if the emperor saved him, Xiao Muqi's reputation outside could not be restored. Losing the gambling house and then the people's support would make him angry to death!
At this time, the spy from Xuanji Pavilion told Xiao Mubei something that he did not expect:
The disappearance of many children had nothing to do with Xiao Muqi, but another prince was involved - the virtuous prince Xiao Musheng.
King Xian planted many secret agents around King Lin, and used King Lin's territory to make money.
Even the emperor didn't find out these things. The people from Xuanji Pavilion happened to be involved with the insiders of the gambling house. They accidentally used a beauty trap to find out some clues.
Unfortunately, the virtuous king was cunning and they could not find any evidence. All the evidence was secretly manipulated by the virtuous king and pointed to the king Lin.
I guess the emperor's Jinyiwei can only investigate so far, and Prince Lin can't escape this dirty water.
Xiao Mubei looked at the information in his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Fourth brother...how could it be him?"
As everyone knows, King Xian is a romantic and well-known dandy prince who never cares about state affairs and only loves romance.
The emperor was very confident in Concubine De and his fourth son, but who would have thought that they were so powerful behind the scenes.
Xiao Mubei put away the note in his hand and burned it on the candle: "Since there is no evidence, let's act according to the plan. First, we will ruin Xiao Muqi's reputation. In addition, we will assign a group of people to keep a close eye on the virtuous king."
"Yes!"
All his men left and went about their business. Xiao Mubei also walked out of a house in the slums and used his lightness skills to rush to the general's mansion.
After being busy outside for so long, I really want to meet his princess as soon as possible.
"Hiss..." Xiao Mubei, who was halfway through his flight and landed on the roof of an inn, suddenly felt dizzy.
"Could you have said hello in advance before you came out? Do you want to fall to your death?" He thought nothing would go wrong since they were so close. He would have left someone by his side. He was caught off guard by this sudden incident!
The secondary personality's accusations did not attract the attention of the main personality. As he ignored it, the secondary personality held its breath and went into hibernation.
The main character looked around in confusion. Where was this? It was so high. How could he get down?
The protagonist stood on the roof for a long time, thinking blankly. Fortunately, it was night and no one noticed the man in black standing on the roof.
Xiao Mubei imitated his secondary personality, sinking his Qi into his Dantian, and using his Qi to take off. This time he made much more progress than before, and he actually flew five steps before landing...
Pah—the tiles under my feet broke.
Bang—King Xun fell down with a bump on his forehead.
Roll...Xiao Mubei rolled off the roof.
Boom... The host fell headfirst into the flower bed in the backyard of the inn, and the red spot on his forehead became more obvious.
Xiao Mubei struggled to get up and rubbed his head, looking around blankly, not knowing where he was.
Subconsciously rejecting the unfamiliar environment, the main personality remained motionless, his brain had not yet reacted, and he sat quietly in the flower bed.
