Chapter 494: Forced Demolition!
In the west of the city, inside the Haoke Building.
People of all kinds gathered in front of the gambling table, shouting with red faces.
The sunlight shines in through the window, creating beautiful light.
But under such warm sunshine, the building was filled with the smell of alcohol and an indescribable taste...
With a loud bang, the door of the gambling house was kicked open by two men dressed as guards.
The thug who was originally guarding the door was hit on the nose by the heavy door panel and was squatting on the ground, unable to speak due to the pain.
For a moment, the entire gambling house fell silent.
Zhengyan and Zhenglu each picked up two thugs with bruised faces and noses and threw them into the building like garbage.
Just at this moment, Boss Tang, who heard the noise upstairs, went downstairs to check.
He stopped the thugs who were about to come to him with his eyes, not intending to reveal his identity, but just signaled them to come forward to check the situation...
"Who?"
"What's going on? Are we going to be able to play anymore?"
"Where are all the people in the gambling house?" Complaints began to rise in the gambling house.
The west of the city is already a mixed crowd, and now the patrons in the gambling house are mostly from all walks of life. They are in the middle of gambling, so they are suddenly interrupted and naturally very dissatisfied.
Zhengyan and Zhenglu looked at Zhang Jun coldly, not caring to pay any attention to those who were shouting. They just turned sideways to make way for their young lady.
Such a dirty and messy gambling house and Jiang An who is dressed in luxurious clothes...
It was as if the precious cat owner suddenly broke into the territory of stray cats.
As she approached, the girl frowned, trying to dispel the smell of alcohol in front of her.
Which young lady is here to have fun?
Why are you coming to the west of the city?
The guests in the gambling house were whispering to each other.
A few strong men, emboldened by the alcohol, approached and said, "Hey, miss, would you like to gamble too?"
"This gambling house in the west of the city is not a place for people like you..."
"Why don't you go and have a look at the one in the north of the city?"
That is a gambling house at the foot of the imperial city. Only nobles go there, and even the tricks they play are new and novel!
The little girl listened and looked at the person who spoke with indifference.
Seeing that she ignored him, the man didn't seem to be interested... and also because he was afraid of getting into trouble, he stopped talking.
At this time, two thugs from the gambling house came over with cautious looks on their faces.
"May I ask what the lady is doing in the Haoke Building?"
"If you want to have fun, there are private rooms on the second floor. If you want to get into trouble..."
"Miss, do you know who is in charge of our building?"
"Ah…"
Are they threatening her?
The angel-like lady just waved her hand, and the golden guards followed her in one after another.
Jiang An said lazily: "Clear the place."
"Yes!"
"All outsiders, please leave immediately!"
The Golden Guards responded in unison, and the next moment they all drew their weapons.
"She...she's the one from the Ministry of Justice?!"
In this city of Kyoto, the only woman who is followed by the Golden Guards of the Dali Temple and a group of bodyguards is the ancestor from the north!
This person is the evil spirit that won’t let her father go!
The gamblers gathered the money on the table and fled in panic. The less courageous ones even fell flat on their faces rather than stop for a moment.
Seeing that something was wrong, Boss Tang turned around and mixed in with the gamblers, preparing to take the opportunity to leave the gambling house.
"Where are you going, Boss Tang?" Jiang An's tone was cold.
He didn't dare look back, but just stared at the door two or three steps away.
But the next moment, a sharp blade was placed across Boss Tang's neck from both sides.
He walked too fast and didn't brake, and the blade cut a thin layer of his flesh, and blood rolled out.
At this time, Boss Tang realized that these people would really kill him!
"Ha... brother, don't shake your hands~"
He pinched the blade between two fingers, trying to keep it away from him.
Zheng Yan's eyes were playful, and the blade approached again, "If you go and see my lady honestly, my hands will naturally not shake, otherwise..."
Boss Tang swallowed his saliva, put a flattering smile on his face, and walked back in a charming and charming manner.
"My Lord...ah no, the County Lord!"
"You're looking for the younger one~"
Jiang An found a chair and sat down. "Do you know why I came?"
Meeting the little girl's playful eyes, Boss Tang silently looked away.
He laughed dryly twice and was ready to make a last-ditch struggle.
"You see, I'm just a small business..."
"All the small amounts that should be paid have been handed over to the government!"
"Upstairs... I still have a lot of real money upstairs that I haven't deposited in the bank yet! Otherwise, you can take it all and treat it as my honor to you."
"Ah…"
Are you playing dumb?
Jiang An flexed his wrists, speaking in a disdainful and arrogant tone, "This county lady is from a royal family, and I have as much gold and silver as you want."
"If Boss Tang doesn't know, how about I help you think about it?"
"ah…?"
Before he could answer, two golden guards handcuffed his hands and forced him to kneel on the ground.
The two of them stepped on Boss Tang's feet, and with a stick from somewhere, they placed it horizontally behind his waist and used force to push his upper body backwards.
"what!!"
"It's broken! It's broken!"
People who practice martial arts have hard muscles and bones, and men's waists are not as flexible as women's. This trick is what the Dali Temple often uses to deal with men like Boss Tang.
The upper body was pressed backwards, pulling the belly, cervical vertebrae and even the lower body, giving the illusion that they were about to be torn apart.
If you don't want to do this, then there are other ways...
Spread your legs apart and bend them backwards or use the tiger bench...etc.
"Let...let go, I said! I said it! Isn't that enough!"
He is losing his breath!!
Jiang An scratched his ears which were almost deafened by the noise, "If you know, just tell them right away. If you tell them the right thing, they will let you go."
Boss Tang's upper body was folded up, his eyes bloodshot, "A few days ago, a man came to me and spent a hundred taels of gold to buy...buy rumors about the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion, the General's Mansion, and the three of you, and asked me to spread the false news to everyone, and make sure to spread it widely, so that the whole capital would know!"
Jiang An: "You did it?"
Boss Tang is about to cry, can't you let me go first and then talk? !
"Did...did it."
"I can't help myself!"
The little girl waved her hands, and the two golden guards finally let go.
The moment he was released, Boss Tang felt that only his head was still his own, and there was not a single place on his body that didn't hurt!
With tears and snot streaming down his face, he knelt limply in front of Jiang An.
Jiang An's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he asked Niang Niang to put the box in front of him.
"Since we have already done one order, how about another one?"
"Ah... ah?"
Boss Tang looked up, his eyes stupid and inconsistent with his rough appearance.
No...you are not here to question me?
Then why should he be punished? !
As expected, he saw evil intentions in this ancestor's eyes.
So she did it on purpose!
Seeing that he was slow to respond, Nioniuo opened the box.
"Boss Tang, do you think it's not enough?"
He looked down...
The box contained no real gold or silver, nor any other valuables, but a document from the Ministry of Works with the seal of the Ministry on it.
what is this?
Boss Tang suddenly had a bad feeling.
Jiang An pointed at the document and said, "This is the document that this county lady asked the officials of the Ministry of Works to write. If Boss Tang feels that this one is not enough, I can ask the Ministry of Revenue to write another one."
Nianniang kindly unfolded the document. The text on it was very long, and the general meaning was that the land where the gambling house was located would be requisitioned by the Ministry of Works for other uses.
What this means is…
"Forced demolition!" Boss Tang howled.
