Chapter 140: One Shot Shock
Royal study room.
"How is it?" Xia Mochu, who was pacing anxiously, asked anxiously when he saw Qin Zheng coming back.
An Dehai, Li Qiuhan, and Xia Mo Ning also looked at Qin Zheng anxiously.
Qin Zheng, who had been jogging all the way, was out of breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Done!"
"Really?" Xia Mochu was surprised.
"Can you handle this?" Li Qiuhan looked at Qin Zheng with admiration.
"He actually agreed?" An Dehai couldn't believe it.
That’s the old fox Shabitu!
"Hahaha, my master is the best!" Xia Mo Ning was very proud, as if she had done it.
An Dehai asked worriedly, "Master Qin, are you sure you can't hurt the people near the gambling house?"
Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle An."
Xia Mochu sighed, "I never thought that there would be such a group of evil bandits under the feet of my emperor, and their lair is right under my nose. If it weren't for Qin Aiqing, I wouldn't have known about it."
Li Qiuhan said with a look of pain on his face, "What a pity for that gambling house covering a thousand acres. Although I have never been inside, I have passed by it. It is very grand and must have cost a lot of money!"
Hongyun Casino is the largest casino in the imperial capital and is very famous.
Qin Zheng said, "Gambling is a major hazard and must be eradicated. We'll start with Hongyun Casino and then ban it nationwide."
Xia Mochu, An Dehai, Li Qiuhan, and Xia Mo Ning were all shocked.
Xia Mochu looked at Qin Zheng in shock: "You want to ban gambling houses nationwide?"
An Dehai was anxious: "Gambling is a major tax contributor."
Li Qiuhan said: "If the gambling industry is banned, the national treasury will be even emptier!"
Qin Zheng said calmly, "But it's also the root cause of cholera. How many people have lost their jobs, their families torn apart, and their wives and children torn apart because of gambling? Gambling houses are a scam. Who among those gamblers actually wins money in the end?"
Xia Mochu and the others were silent. It was true, but...
Qin Zheng said, "I will build a large theater here, spreading it throughout the country. It will not only generate tax revenue, but also enrich the people's cultural life and guide the people of the world to correct their values!"
Xia Mochu's eyes were bright and sharp, and she still couldn't forget the Hongtong County Grand Theater. The performances there were simply unforgettable!
It would be a good thing if this became popular across the country!
Xia Mo Ning also widened her eyes: "Great!"
She also misses the Hongtong County Theater very much.
"What are the three views?" An Dehai suddenly asked.
Now, Xia Mochu, Li Qiuhan, and Xia Mo Ning, having stayed in Hongtong County for some time, have learned a lot of new words and have already understood what the three views are.
Li Qiuhan explained to An Dehai.
After An Dehai heard this, he secretly praised it in his heart. This method is indeed very good, but he just said: "Do we have so many actors?"
Qin Zhengan said: "There are many folk artists. We can recruit them, or we can set up our own opera performance training academy!"
"Okay!" Xia Mochu smiled...
"Although Xia Bitu agreed to the conditions, he will definitely take crazy revenge afterwards," said An Dehai.
Xia Mo Ning said, "Don't worry, Uncle An. Once my master does something, he will never give the other party a chance to turn the tables. Otherwise, he wouldn't do it!"
An Dehai was speechless. The princess really trusted Qin Zheng!
However, Qin Zheng is indeed a character!
"Uncle An, we can start now!" Xia Mochu said.
"Yes!" An Dehai went to convey the order.
Xia Mochu also set off with Qin Zheng, Xia Mo Ning and Li Qiuhan.
The Stargazing Tower is five stories high.
All the civil and military officials were brought to the rooftop by An Dehai, and they were all confused as to why.
Could it be that Your Majesty is going to lead all the ministers to appreciate the moon tonight?
"Your Majesty has arrived!" An Dehai announced.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
All civil and military officials kneel down!
"My dear ministers, please stand up!" Xia Mochu brought Xia Mo Ning and Li Qiuhan to the roof with a smile.
All civil and military officials stood up.
Xia Mochu said, "As everyone knows, there must be something important happening at the opening of the evening court. You will all know later!"
The ministers were shocked, something big had indeed happened.
But, what happened?
Many people looked at Prime Minister Xia Bitu.
The Prime Minister should know about such a big thing, right?
At this moment, Xia Bitu had no expression on his face.
But someone noticed that the Minister of War Qu Zhengzhuo was wiping his sweat.
Could it be related to Qu Zhengzhuo?
Everyone was speculating in their hearts.
Some people are also anxious.
Some people also discovered that Qin Zheng was missing.
I went to Chaofang before.
Xia Mochu didn't say anything else, but just walked to the battlement and looked at the central city.
Tonight, the night sky is clear and the moon is high in the sky.
The central city was already bustling, and at night, the restaurants, gambling houses, and brothels were packed with customers. The streets were brightly lit.
Especially at Hongyun Casino, there are the most lanterns, and they are very unique. When viewed from a high place, those lanterns actually form the shape of a copper coin.
Especially conspicuous!
At this time, deep inside the palace.
In front of a black iron cannon, Qin Zheng personally operated the cannon.
At this time, Lu Dong, leading three hundred special agents and one thousand imperial guards, had already ambushed outside the gambling house.
The gambling house was brightly lit, crowded with people coming and going.
Some went in smiling, some came out crying.
Lu Dong glanced at the full moon in the night sky.
"action!"
At the command, all the staff rushed out and rushed into the gambling house in an instant!
"The Imperial Guards will arrest the wanted criminals, and all outsiders will evacuate immediately!" Lu Dong shouted.
Suddenly, chaos broke out in the gambling house...
On the stargazing building.
The ministers stood behind the empress and also looked at the central city, but what was so good about it?
Xia Bitu was also watching, but until this moment, he still hadn't guessed where Qin Zheng was going to bombard.
But it is certain that Qin Zheng will open fire.
He was also looking forward to seeing the legendary Sky Thunder Cannon!
When the full moon rises to the middle.
The ministers' eyes were sore from watching, and they were exhausted both mentally and physically.
suddenly!
"Boom!"
A deafening roar shook the sky.
Deafening!
thump……
Several old ministers were caught off guard and were so scared that they sat down on the ground.
But suddenly I was startled and my heart was pounding.
"What is that?" someone exclaimed.
From the depths of the imperial palace, an exceptionally dazzling stream of light shot into the night sky and flew towards the central city.
Xia Mochu said lightly: "Sky Thunder Cannon!"
Sky thunder cannon?
Is this the legendary Sky Thunder Cannon?
Oh my god, it's louder than thunder!
It also looks like a shooting star!
Everyone watched as the streak of light slid across the night sky and fell.
speedy.
When Xia Bitu saw the direction where the light fell, his expression suddenly changed.
That's it!
The Empress took action against the King of the East!
The expressions of Minister of Works Zhu Fengchi and the Prefect of Zhongcheng, Li Boliang, changed drastically.
They are all disciples of the King of the East, and they know this gambling house!
Seeing that stream of light fall into the center of the gambling house, it landed precisely into the square opening of the "copper coin"...
boom!
Rumble…
There were loud noises one after another, and the rocks shattered into pieces!
The earth is shaking!
The entire imperial capital was shaking.
Thump thump thump…
Many ministers lost their balance and fell to the ground, their ears and heads buzzing.
Xia Mochu and Xia Moning covered their ears tightly.
Taifu Wei Xuelin had just received a secret hint from Xia Mo Ning, and was also covering his ears at this moment, but he didn't cover them tightly and his eardrums were almost shattered.
An Dehai looked pale.
It was the first time he heard the sound of the thunder cannon.
It was also the first time I saw the power of the Sky Thunder Cannon.
Everyone stared at the gambling house in amazement.
