Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 371 Accountability

But he couldn't rest at all. As long as he thought about whether it was Jiang Shangxian's or Zhao Yue's place today, if he was a step late, they would have to hold a funeral at home...

Wu Sanniang and Scarface were holding Zhao Yue hostage and trying to escape...

Hiss... He has a headache...

Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is Wu Sanniang’s current face.

There were so many unknown mysteries that Cui Bianxu couldn't sit still and kept walking back and forth in the room.

There is no need to interrogate Wu Sanniang yet. Let Wang Leisheng play with her first when he comes back, so that the torture instruments in the Dali Temple prison won't get rusty.

That woman has a very tough life. Let her experience some of the sufferings of the world before trying her!

"Mr. Cui, Mr. Liu invites you."

"understood."

Cui Bianxu was not annoyed by his thoughts being interrupted, but rather a little excited.

It is very clear what Liu Dewei wants to talk to me about. I originally thought that Liu Dewei would not take sides. Now he is looking for me. I wonder if it is because he is old but his heart is young and he still wants to fight for the top, or if he wants me to suppress this matter?

With evil suspicions about his boss, Cui Bianxu regained his expressionless expression the moment he opened the door.

Liu Dewei was also having a headache. This subordinate was always causing trouble, which was really too much of a test for him.

Although he had never been to the God of Wealth Casino, the younger generation in his family had been there. Just by listening to it, he knew that the place was not simple. How could there be no one behind such a big scene in Chang'an City?

Cui Yi actually dared to order his men to wipe out the God of Wealth Casino!

How audacious!

Before Cui Bianxu could even stand firmly after entering the room, Liu Dewei threw a teacup at his feet.

The position was precise, so it wouldn't hit him, but it could get the water inside onto him.

Cui Bianxu secretly raised his eyebrows. The old guy still had the energy to show him how angry he was. It seemed that Liu Qing was not very angry either.

"I wonder what instructions Lord Liu has for his subordinates?" Xiao Cui saluted slowly, as if he was oblivious to everything that was happening before his eyes.

Liu Dewei snorted coldly, staring at Cui Bianxu. Seeing that he was still pretending to be unmoved by anything, he was secretly annoyed. These guys from aristocratic families were always good at pretending.

Thinking of this, he slammed his hand on the table and demanded, "Who gave you the permission to have the God of Wealth Casino shut down?"

This is what made him most angry. Wang Leisheng used to come to him and tell tales, but later he just ignored him!

He was the last to find out about the closure of the God of Wealth Casino! Did they think that he, the Supreme Court Justice, was dead?

Cui Bianxu looked surprised. "As the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, I bear the Emperor's grace and am always mindful of prudence, compassion, and fairness. All matters punishable by death are within my authority. The Caishen Casino assaulted court officials, imprisoned and assassinated the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple, assaulted gamblers, and slaughtered Chang'an residents... Their crimes were numerous, and I only ordered the closure of the place after I caught them red-handed. I wonder what I might have overlooked."

He did not mention the incident in which Wu Sanniang and others kidnapped the women of the Cui family. The previous crime was enough to get Zhou Qiu and others killed. There was no need to let the women in the family become the topic of conversation for others.

"Imprisoning and assassinating the Dali Temple's Junior Secretary?"

Liu Dewei already knew about the beatings of Wang Leisheng and his men, as well as the wounded civilians brought back by Cui Bianxu. But this imprisonment and assassination of the Dali Temple Shaoqing...

Liu Dewei's heart skipped a beat: "You..."

No way, are you really that bold?

Who is the ancestor behind this God of Wealth Casino? Why are his subordinates so blind? Who can't he mess with? Don't you know how petty this guy is?

Cui Bianxu raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a harmless and clear smile. "I am a humble subordinate. I was caught off guard for a moment and fell into the trap of the thieves. I was almost trapped to death in the dark room. Thanks to my ancestors' blessing, I was able to escape. Otherwise, I would have been so unfilial to let the elders of the clan die before I could fulfill my filial duty..."

This has brought out the entire Cui family. Liu Dewei's upper lip felt numb. How far will this matter go before it ends?

It's not easy for him to live to this age and still sit firmly in this position...

"It's Liu Qing..."

Cui Bianxu took two steps forward, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a face full of curiosity, "Do you know the origins of this gambling house? If so, please let me know so that I don't make a mistake and end up finding someone important."

Liu Dewei raised his head, squinting his eyes and staring at him for a long time. Finally, he relaxed his whole body and leaned back, smiling faintly, "How would I know if this is a gambling house or not? I just asked you to come here to remind you."

"Please speak, Mr. Liu." Cui Bianxu returned to his original position, one hand behind his back, and listened attentively. "I am young and inexperienced, so I may have done things in a way that is not thorough. I hope Mr. Liu will be willing to give me some advice."

This seems to be true, but when Cui Bianxu said it, I always felt like this guy was mocking me.

Liu Dewei choked a little, feeling a bit like a heart attack. He reached out to drink some water to calm his breath, but his grip was empty. He had already thrown the cup away. He could only awkwardly withdraw his hand and touch his upper lip moustache: "There are some people that we, as ministers, cannot touch. Not everyone can be Wei Xuancheng."

"Yes."

Seeing that he still didn't say anything, Cui Bianxu responded very straightforwardly. No matter who was behind it, he had already shut down the God of Wealth Casino.

His Majesty is a protective person. He protects his son and the brothers who fought together to conquer the world. He will not be so stupid as to go against those people and get himself into trouble.

Liu Dewei still felt uneasy looking at his back. He sat in the chair for a long time without moving. After a long while, he suddenly sighed and slowly ground the ink with his hand on his sleeve...

In the Cui Mansion, the three mothers lived in one room.

The injuries were all superficial. After the court doctor arrived, he could not do anything except prescribe some medicines for bruises, scar removal, and tranquilization, and he left in a hurry soon after.

After working for the Cui family for so long, this is the first time he has been so busy. A bunch of guards are waiting for him to treat his injuries!

Cui Shuhua and the maidservant were not injured, at most they had some bruises. Zhao Yue only had a few shallow scratches on her body, which were not as serious as the one on her neck.

Only Jiang Shangxian was left, his entire body covered in bruises and swelling, with some small cuts from the gravel on the ground.

It didn't hurt at first, but when she touched the water while taking a shower, she gasped in pain.

Cui Shuhua rarely showed her maternal love and insisted on giving her a bath, which made Xiao Jiang feel embarrassed. As a result, Xiao Jiang's face turned slightly red as soon as she took off her clothes, and she almost fainted from crying.

The maids who had been driven behind the screen by Xiao Jiang were so frightened that they ran over and looked at her naked.
