Chapter 32 Royal Tentacles——Wei Hua!
"His Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun shuddered and his expression changed.

I'll die, but Madam Queen, please save me. "This Hongyuntang gambling house is not owned by Lord Wang alone. The owner also has the Queen Mother's nephew!"

"Wei Hua?"

Zhan Doudou exclaimed, and looked both unbelieving and embarrassed. Then he said angrily, "You bold slave! How dare you slander the Queen Mother!"

He pointed at Cao Zhengchun again and again, gritting his teeth, as if he wanted to cut this dog into pieces.

However, his fingers were almost stiff and he still didn't say how to punish Cao Zhengchun or Wei Hua.
De imperial concubine?

My beloved concubine!

Why don't you say something!

I'm so tired of pointing like this!
Fortunately, Li An's clear voice finally sounded at this time: "Your Majesty, please calm down. There may be some misunderstanding. Perhaps, Lord Wei was not careful, and someone in his mansion took the initiative to do this."

After all this talk about Wei Hua, it finally came back to himself.

Aren’t the Queen Mother’s people her and Zhan Doudou’s people? Aren’t they the royal family’s people?
He made a fortune by opening a casino, but most of the money must have gone into the palace and eventually became the royal family's expenses. So by this calculation, this is a royal casino!

It means that Wang Lin dared to act so unscrupulously because he was the white glove of the royal family.

Li An is a vested interest, so naturally he has to maintain the face of the royal family: "As the nephew of the Queen Mother, Lord Wei has a large family with many people, and it is understandable that he was careless for a while. I ask Your Majesty again not to be too harsh."

"Hmm~My beloved concubine, what you said makes sense. I will make a decision after I have consulted the Queen Mother!"

Zhan Doudou nodded to set the tone for the matter, and then asked Cao Zhengchun, "Since it was the casino jointly opened by Lord Wang and Wei Hua, why did the gambling money owed by the eldest son of the Rong family end up in the hands of the former?"

There is no need for me to reply to this matter, Li An can explain everything.

Don't embarrass Cao Zhengchun. Li An explained with a side face, "The owner of this casino is Wang Shangshu's people. Although Lord Wei is a shareholder, he just checks the accounts and distributes dividends. As long as the land in the West Mountain area is converted into silver. It happens that the area over there is barren and there are not many good farmlands, so the apparent value is not great."

"It's not a question of whether Lord Wei knows about this matter. Even if he does, he won't interfere too much."

Such wasteland is not worth much and it is not easy to lose it. It is not only troublesome to deal with it, but also easy to cause trouble.
Zhan Doudou suddenly realized that in this way, the benefits could be delivered to Wang Lin without anyone noticing, and no one could say anything wrong.

"My beloved, today Minister Wang has indeed made things difficult for you. Just based on this matter..."

Zhan Doudou was a generous person at that time, and he always tolerated the courtiers with the greatest benevolence and righteousness, which is why this saying came about.
After she experienced and saw a lot, she gradually changed.

Li An had a blank expression on his face, showing no sign of being persuaded. He said calmly, "Lord Wang did not target me. He targeted you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please do not forget this."

"He is the general's man!"

Zhan Doudou originally wanted to say that ministers targeting the emperor was a characteristic of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but Li Ang’s last sentence was the final word!
Seeing that there were outsiders present, Zhan Doudou swallowed what he was about to say.

Suddenly, Li An called out softly:

"Eunuch Gao."

Two seconds later, Gao Zhongxian trotted in, bowed and said, "I'm here."

Li An nodded and ordered Zhao Gao: "Take Eunuch Gao out."

"Twenty strokes of the cane."

"???"

Zhao Gao opened his mouth, was distracted for a moment, then quickly responded. He stood up and said to Gao Zhongxian, "Eunuch Gao, please come in."

The fact that there were no guards or eunuchs escorting him proved that Gao Zhongxian had not lost the emperor's favor. However, everyone in the palace was confused and didn't know what Concubine De meant.

What kind of madness is this?

Li An read the meaning from Zhan Doudou's eyes, smiled slightly and shook his head.

"Thank you, Madam, for not killing me!"

Gao Zhongxian knelt on the ground with a sincere look of gratitude and paid his respects. Then, while Zhao Gao was puzzled, he walked out with him. Not long after, screams were heard back.

In the hall, Cao Zhengchun was startled at first, and then his mouth twitched.
Eunuch Yi Gao, you are a seventh-rank master after all, aren’t you overacting a bit?
Then he suddenly realized that His Majesty knew that he had a seventh-grade cultivation. Even so, he was still performing so hard. This was a response to His Majesty and the Queen, to show that he knew he was wrong.
Learn!

There is no end to learning!

I'm still not good enough~
Cao Zhengchun was alert in his heart
"Where were we just talking about?" Li An listened to the creepy shouting and shouted outside, "Keep your voice down!"

The screams disappeared in an instant as if a fire had been extinguished.

"Your Majesty, it is mentioned that Lord Wang is the general's man." Cao Zhengchun's voice was cautious. Our queen is unpredictable and her mind is changeable.

"Oh, yes, that's what makes it weird."

Li An pointed out the key point and asked the little emperor: "Wang Lin has opened a casino with the royal family. How come he has completely sided with the general and is using my status as a concubine as an excuse to attack Your Majesty today?"

"Sean is Uesugi Tiger's adoptive father."

Zhan Doudou thought that Li An didn't understand the relationship in the court, so he explained: "It happened suddenly, and I didn't expect the general to be so hot-tempered. I think Wang Qing didn't know that things would develop like this. He was caught in the middle and just had to bite the bullet and attack his beloved concubine at the ceremony."

Li An didn't realize that Wang Lin was just trying to get tough with him.

He seems very confident.
Alas! Doudou is still too weak! How can an emperor have such a mentality?

Although I have just ascended the throne, I must be aggressive, otherwise outsiders will think I am easy to bully! If I were a minister, I would dare to jump over the wall.
But I have to say that it is precisely because of Zhan Doudou's personality that I can put some of my ideas into reality. Of course, it is safest to serve her well!
Neither of them mentioned ending the matter again, and they tacitly agreed to deal with Wang Lin.

"Xiao Chunzi, which civil and military officials in the court are friendly to His Majesty? Find some and make a list. After all, Hongyun Hall will be short of a shareholder in the future!"

Cao Zhengchun was so excited that even his voice was a little distorted. He replied in a deep voice: "I obey your command."

"Go down!"

"Also go and comfort Eunuch Gao on behalf of Your Majesty and me, and let him rest for two days before coming forward to serve Your Majesty."

After bowing again, Cao Zhengchun hurried out to do his job.

He had made up his mind at this moment.

After returning, he must think carefully about the list. The Empress Defei gave this matter to him, which was a reward for him. The person behind it represented huge interests and he had to decide for himself.
Needless to say, you know how much benefit you will get!

"All right!"

Seeing that there were no outsiders in the hall, not only Li An, but even Zhan Doudou relaxed a little. "Doudou, let's talk about another thing~ Let's talk about that..."

"Wei Hua!"
