Chapter 98: Fortune and misfortune depend on each other(1/2)

Deyunxuan.

Private room on the second floor.

"Master Hou, I have never tasted such delicious food before!"

"If it hadn't been for the warm invitation of the Marquis today, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to have such a good meal! It's extremely delicious! It's extremely delicious!"

Luo Ping sat at the very edge, praising the barbecue while eating it.

"This is Ziboju's signature dish. If Mr. Luo wants to eat it, he can go there at any time."

Li Wuji smiled and said.

"That's right, why do you need to act like you have never seen the world?"

Li Yuan, who was listening to the cross talk in the hall on the first floor, also turned his head and rolled his eyes at Luo Ping, saying with a look of disgust.

"This official is indeed very ignorant, which made the prince and the marquis laugh."

Luo Ping smiled awkwardly, pretending to be naive, and said with a blushing face.

"It doesn't matter if you have little knowledge, as long as you are not blind."

Li Yuan snorted lightly and said with something in mind.

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Luo Ping couldn't help but change his expression, and the meat skewers in his hand froze at his mouth, not knowing whether he should continue to taste them.

Li Wuji, on the other hand, smiled and said nothing, pretending not to hear anything and drinking beer silently.

"I heard that the son of Lu Zhengping, the Minister of War, has been causing trouble for Marquis Liyang recently. It seems that the Du Ying Guards also got involved, right?"

Li Yuan asked slowly while watching the performance downstairs.

"My lord, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Luo Ping shrank his neck, hurriedly put the meat skewers in his hands, bowed respectfully, and said affirmatively.

"I don't care if you misunderstand me or not. I just want to tell you today that Marquis Liyang is my friend. If you embarrass him, you will embarrass Prince Lin's house."

"Although I never ask about the affairs of the court, as long as I speak, it still has some effect on His Majesty. Do you understand?"

Li Yuan turned to look at Luo Ping and said meaningfully.

"I understand!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I know what to do."

Luo Ping nodded hurriedly and said decisively.

Li Yuan snorted lightly, stopped talking, and focused on the performance downstairs.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Luo, please get up quickly."

Li Wuji smiled, smoothed things over, and reached out to help Luo Ping up.

Luo Ping smiled awkwardly and slowly got up and cooked it again, but he was no longer in the mood to taste the delicious food.

Li Wuji didn't say anything else, and ordered the waiter to bring a few bottles of beer, chatting with the two of them without saying a word.

Li Yuan's attitude just now was something he didn't expect, but after thinking about it carefully, he could guess the deeper meaning. It was nothing more than an attempt to win over him.

The Changsheng Casino that was given to Li Yuan last time was not as prosperous as Las Vegas, but it was still making money every day.

"Sir?"

At this moment, Cao Zian appeared at the door of the box and shouted softly.

"What's the matter?"

Li Wuji turned around and asked.

However, Cao Zian did not answer, but quietly waved to Li Wuji, signaling Li Wuji to leave the box temporarily.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Just as Li Wuji was about to stand up and go out, Li Yuan at the side suddenly asked.

"Just tell me if you have anything."

Li Wuji hesitated for a moment, sat down again, and spoke slowly.

"Sir, I just received news that a gambler who won money at our gambling house was killed shortly after leaving the gambling house."

Cao Zian hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

Another gambler was killed?!

Hearing Cao Zian's answer, Luo Ping on the side was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Since he was killed outside the gambling house, it has nothing to do with our gambling house. Why are you so nervous?"

Li Wuji paused and said slowly.

"The person who died was Princess Yongan's brother..."

"The people from the Five Elements Division have arrived at the gambling house!"

Cao Zian hesitated and replied solemnly.

After listening to Cao Zian's words, Li Wuji couldn't help but frown.

Li Yuan and Luo Ping on the side were also stunned.

"The son of Crown Prince Xiling?!"

"Looks like you're in trouble again!"

Li Yuan shook his head and sighed, looking at Li Wuji with some worry.

"It seems that I can't continue to enjoy the performance with the prince. I'm really sorry."

Li Wuji smiled bitterly, stood up slowly, raised his hands and saluted Li Yuan.

"It doesn't matter, you go and see how the situation is first. If there is any need for me, please send someone to send a message to me."

Li Yuan looked at Li Wuji and said seriously.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Wuji nodded, turned around and walked out.

"Why are you still standing here? Duyingwei is responsible for guarding the safety of the capital. If such a big thing happens, you, the commander of Duyingwei, can still sit still?"

Li Yuan turned to look at Luo Ping, who was still stunned, and said in a deep voice.

"yes!"

Luo Ping agreed and hurriedly stood up and followed Li Wuji.

Soon, Li Wuji and Luo Ping left Deyunxuan and rushed to Las Vegas.

"It seems that there are a lot of jealous people. Good fortune and misfortune depend on each other. It depends on your fortune."

Li Yuan looked at the performance downstairs, muttered, lost interest in continuing to enjoy it, and slowly stood up and left.

...

Las Vegas.

When Li Wuji rushed to the gambling house, he found that people from the Five Elements Division had surrounded the gambling house on three floors and three floors outside. Many people had gathered on the street to watch, and they were talking noisily.

Seeing Li Wuji step out of the carriage, the people's chatter became louder and more mixed, as if they were all looking forward to how Li Wuji would resolve this crisis.

Accompanying him were Luo Ping, who was riding a tall horse, and a group of Imperial Guard officers and soldiers.

Seeing Li Wuji and Luo Ping appear at the same time, the Five Elements Officer Chai who was guarding the entrance immediately made way to both sides. He seemed to be respectful, but his eyes looking at Li Wuji were full of hostility.

In the building, Ji Wushuang and the Governor of the Five Elements Division were confronting each other.

"Kneel down!"

Leng Yue looked coldly at Ji Wushuang who was standing in front of her and refused to give in, and shouted in a deep voice.

All the gamblers and clerks knelt down and saluted after learning Leng Yue's identity. Only Ji Wushuang still stood stubbornly, her face turning red and her hands tightly holding the corners of her clothes.

It has been a bit difficult for her recently. Since she became the shopkeeper of this gambling house, she first experienced trouble caused by the son of the Minister of War, and now she is facing the boss of the Five Elements Department.

"Kneel down!"

Another loud shout came, and Mu Xingsi made Xue Wan step forward and kicked Ji Wushuang directly in the calf!

Ji Wushuang groaned in pain and knelt on the ground with a plop. Her face turned pale with pain. She gritted her teeth and glared at Xue Wan, still unwilling to be outdone.

She had already sent someone to send a message to Deyunxuan, knowing that Li Wuji would arrive soon.

"Ling Guo's proton was killed, and Las Vegas cannot escape suspicion. Everyone in the casino will be brought back to the Five Elements Division for custody, pending trial!"

Leng Yue glanced around coldly and shouted sharply.

After the words fell, a group of officials loudly agreed and prepared to arrest Ji Wushuang and the gang.

"Let me see who dares?!"

At this moment, a cold voice came from the door, and Li Wuji slowly walked through the crowd and walked straight over.
