The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!
Chapter 52 Underground Casino
"Miss, do you want to write back to your master?"
"May I?"
Zhao Huayin asked.
"Although it takes some trouble, the master will be very happy if he can receive a reply from the young lady. Just write it."
After hearing Qingshuang's words, Zhao Huayin first put away Yan Qi's letter carefully before sitting at the desk and writing a reply.
Zhao Huayin briefly informed Yan Qi about the upcoming opening of Yunshangfang and Ji Yunshan's discovery of the coal mine, and also told him about how she had disrupted Prince Xuan's mansion.
As for other things, Zhao Huayin didn't want to make Yan Qi worry, so she didn't mention them.
Finally, he told Yan Qi that if the situation did not allow it, he should not take the risk of replying, and he must take care of himself and return safely.
Zhao Huayin handed the written letter to Qingshuang, and Qingshuang took the letter and went out.
Looking out the window for a while, Zhao Huayin thought about every detail of her time with Yan Qi since her rebirth.
Especially during the time when the embroidery was being restored at Pin Ya Ju, Zhao Huayin was devoted to the embroidery work, while Yan Qi handled official business on the side. In the past, when Zhao Huayin was doing embroidery work, she often did not notice the things around her.
But at the beginning, after all, I was not very familiar with Yan Qi, and I still had some concerns in my heart. I always remembered that there was someone beside me, and I couldn't devote myself wholeheartedly.
Later, after spending a long time together, a kind of tacit understanding formed between the two. They were both doing their own things seriously and did not disturb each other.
Gradually, as the two spent more and more time in the same room, Zhao Huayin gradually felt at ease with Yan Qi by her side.
This kind of steadiness was different from the past. Zhao Huayin felt that this kind of steadiness was somewhat familiar, as if she and Yan Qi had been getting along like this for a long time.
What happened later, whether it was Yan Qi sacrificing his own life to protect Zhao Huayin or sending the guards to Zhao Huayin, made Zhao Huayin feel that Yan Qi cared about her.
And I don’t know when Yan Qi began to appear in my heart.
Especially with Yan Qi's departure this time, Zhao Huayin felt as if her heart had also been taken away by Yan Qi.
Dianxue and Liuyun came in and saw Zhao Huayin standing in front of the window thinking about something. Dianxue walked up to her and said,
"Miss, the patterns have been sent to Yunshangfang. Madam Qian said that the stands for displaying the patterns have been prepared, and all other matters have been completed. We just need to wait until the 28th to open the shop."
Zhao Huayin regained her composure and sat back at the table.
"There is one more thing. Just now, the servant next to Zhou Pei came to report that Zhou Pei was very proud of the letter. He pondered for a while in the study, and went to the casino to investigate for several days before going to Prince Xuan's Mansion."
Zhao Huayin just smiled coldly.
"I'm sure King Xuan will be happy to hear this, so let them die!"
The information that Zhao Huayin had someone reveal to Zhou Pei was about the largest gambling house in the east of the city.
In addition to operating the normal gambling business, that gambling house also set up an underground casino, where most of the business was shady.
Even if someone died, it was a common lawsuit. Zhao Huayin sent a tip to Zhou Pei, which not only explained the ins and outs of the underground casino clearly, but also mentioned that there were private salt dealers in this underground casino.
This private salt dealer actually sold Wei's salt to the enemy country, South Korea.
As we all know, since the two countries had a war at the border a few years ago, in order to force South Korea to surrender, Wei stopped supplying salt to South Korea.
The idea was proposed by the prime minister to Emperor Hui. Emperor Hui was wise for once and ordered the prime minister to personally supervise the matter.
Due to its geographical location, South Korea can hardly produce salt. Even with the Prime Minister personally taking action, South Korea has indeed had a hard time in recent years.
Now that it has come to a critical moment, a traitor has appeared in the Wei Dynasty and is selling illegal salt to South Korea.
But what Zhou Pei didn't know was that Jingzhao Yin had already noticed this matter and had reported it secretly.
Under the auspices of the Prime Minister, Emperor Hui has issued an order to hand the case over to the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple for investigation, with the assistance of the Jingzhao Yinfu.
Lord Cui from the Ministry of Justice had already sent spies to infiltrate the underground casinos to collect evidence in order to catch the gang that was trafficking in illegal salt.
In her previous life, Zhao Huayin only found out about the case when it was solved and the capital was in an uproar over the hunt for the fugitive.
If the information is revealed to Zhou Pei now, given King Xuan's eagerness for quick success, he will definitely make things worse in advance.
The progress of the case has been disrupted and the culprit cannot be caught. Then it will depend on whether King Xuan can withstand the public outrage in the court.
Zhou Pei was quite cautious when he received the news. Not only did he go to the casino himself to inquire about the information, he also carefully checked the source of the tip-off.
After confirming that the news was basically reliable, Zhou Pei couldn't wait to go to Prince Xuan's Palace.
Zhou Pei went to see King Xuan and handed over the intelligence and news he had obtained to King Xuan.
After reading it, King Xuan was in a very good mood and walked up to pat Zhou Pei on the shoulder.
"Well done! If this is true, this casino is built on the busiest street in the capital, and Jingzhao Yin didn't even notice it. This Jingzhao Yin can be replaced by someone else."
Seeing King Xuan's smiling face, Zhou Pei knew that King Xuan had tried to win over Jingzhao Yin to become his supporter before.
After Jingzhao Yin rejected King Xuan's advances, King Xuan began to bear a grudge against Jingzhao Yin.
Now that there is such a good opportunity, King Xuan will definitely report the Jingzhao Yin carefully so that he can be convicted and then take the opportunity to replace this position with one of his own.
"We must plan carefully and report this matter to our father as soon as possible."
King Xuan's eyes were full of calculation.
If Emperor Hui knew about this, he would certainly be furious. What Emperor Hui hated most in his life was someone defying his authority.
Moreover, the prime minister was quite concerned about this matter. If he knew that Jingzhao Yin had failed in his duty to such an extent, he would definitely advocate severe punishment for Jingzhao Yin.
It can be imagined that if Zhou Pei could help King Xuan accomplish this task, his status in King Xuan's palace would definitely surpass that of other advisers.
Thinking of this, Zhou Pei couldn't help but smile, but the smile looked extremely hideous on his disfigured face.
"Without further delay, let's quickly decide how to report this matter to the Emperor so as to make him even more enraged."
“I think we should collect more information about this underground casino, especially information related to the trafficking of illegal salt.
I have already gone to investigate. The security of that underground casino is very strict. It is not easy to get in and find out anything.
But there should be someone around the prince who can go in."
King Xuan nodded.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I will send secret guards to investigate. No matter how strict the defense is, I will tear open a hole to find out the truth!"
King Xuan's face was filled with a look of determination to win.
"There will naturally be no problem if someone close to the prince takes action."
Zhou Pei stood up and flattered him.
"When the people around the prince get more information, they can draft a memorial to the emperor. Then the prince will surely be rewarded by the emperor. The selection of Jingzhao Yin is still up to the prince."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
King Xuan laughed triumphantly.
"Once this is accomplished, I will give you credit for the first merit! You have assisted me with merit, and if I have a future, you will be my most trusted minister!"
"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Highness! I will do my best to assist you."
The two of them conspired in the study for a while, and even shortlisted several candidates for the next Jingzhao Yin. Only then did Zhou Pei stand up and say goodbye.
Zhou Pei didn't know that Yu Ying'er had been under house arrest until he left Prince Xuan's Palace.
Thinking that he would have to keep an eye on the underground casino for the next few days, Zhou Pei had no intention of looking for Yu Ying'er again.
After that day, Zhou Pei rushed between Prince Xuan's mansion and his own residence every day, and the secret guards around Prince Xuan really found out a lot of information.
A few days later, King Xuan sent someone to urgently call Zhou Pei over in the middle of the night.
Zhou Pei was confused and rushed to Prince Xuan's mansion, only to see a man tied up and thrown at the door of the study.
