Liu Zhao was shocked and angry.
He dropped everything and hurried back to the palace.
"How is it? Are you hurt?"
Gu Jiu shook his head, "It's okay! I'm fine. The child is fine too."
Liu Zhao said gloomily, "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation. Just focus on your health."
After saying that, he left.
Gu Jiu called him from behind but failed to call him back.
Liu Zhao was shivering all over, and murderous intent had already overflowed from his eyes.
He ordered the guards, "Gather all the troops and follow me."
All the troops were gathered in the shortest possible time. Liu Zhao personally led the team out of the palace and headed straight for Youcai Casino.
"action!"
There was no nonsense, not even a spare glance.
The guards were well-trained and they put ropes on every wall pillar of the gambling house.
The other end of the rope was tied to the horse.
The horses neighed, moved their hooves restlessly, and pawed the ground.
Everyone in Youcai Casino was acting as if they were facing a formidable enemy, holding knives and sticks, as if they were determined to fight to the bitter end.
When the gamblers in the casino saw this, they were like, "Oh my god, is a fight going to break out?"
Why are you still gambling? Run for your life quickly, or you'll become cannon fodder.
The gamblers scattered like birds and beasts and ran out of the casino.
After leaving the door, the gamblers wanted to watch the fun again, so they stood far away and watched, refusing to leave.
These people are not afraid of death just to watch the fun. We can only say that they are very brave.
Liu Zhao waved his hand and the guards whipped their horses.
The horses were tied with ropes and ran with their backs to the casino.
"Oh no! The house is going to collapse."
Everyone in the casino realized later that the other party was too lazy to resort to violence and simply demolished the house and razed the casino to the ground, which was a quick and efficient move.
If anyone dies in there, it's what they deserve.
No one in the casino had the energy to fight anymore. They dropped their knives and sticks and ran for their lives.
boom!
In the huge casino, dozens of horses were running and it collapsed.
The Youcai Casino, which was once high-end, classy and luxuriously decorated, turned into a pile of ruins in the blink of an eye.
Liu Zhao waved again.
Lin Shuping shouted loudly: "Shoot!"
Arrows with wooden spiked tips were shot out like raindrops.
No one who ran out of the casino was spared, and they fell to the ground screaming and crying.
Liu Zhao gave the order, "Arrest them all and throw them into the Imperial Prison. Tell Wei Zhong that these people are plotting to assassinate the prince, which is tantamount to treason. The Jinwu Guards must give this Highness an explanation. If this Highness sees anyone emerge from the Imperial Prison alive, this Highness will not trouble anyone else but Wei Zhong."
The guards took orders, tied up dozens of people with ropes, and took them to the imperial prison.
As for the Youcai Casino, it was already in ruins. They ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guards to surround it and conduct a thorough search.
Liu Zhao led the remaining troops and galloped down the street.
He led his men to Princess Chaoyang's mansion and, with a single order, surrounded the mansion, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.
No matter who dares to enter or leave, we will beat them back.
…
Inside the Princess's Mansion.
The doorman was so frightened that he fell to the ground, but he didn't care about the pain and hurriedly got up and continued running.
"Oh no! Oh no! The eldest prince has surrounded the mansion with his men and is not allowing anyone to enter or leave. I was even beaten up."
"What?"
Princess Chaoyang's eldest son, Zhao Chuanming, exclaimed.
The doorman burst into tears, "I dare not lie to you, sir. The scars on my face were caused by the beatings from the palace guards."
Zhao Chuanming looked at the gatekeeper's bruised face and was furious. "Liu Zhao is so bold! Is he planning a rebellion? He actually dared to besiege the Princess's residence. I'm going to meet him. I don't believe he dares to hit me."
In terms of seniority, Zhao Chuanming is Liu Zhao's cousin and a legitimate elder.
Princess Chaoyang made so many troubles for Zhao Chuanming, wanting him to be the Minister of the Imperial Household and hold great power. The Zhao family has been rich for generations.
Zhao Chuanming took his servants and guards, took his weapons, and went straight to the gate.
The door opened and Liu Zhao appeared.
Liu Zhao, the bastard, actually sat on a chair drinking tea, and it was the freshly brewed pre-rain tea. He was served by eunuchs and servants. The only thing missing was two maids to massage his legs and fan him.
Damn it, is Liu Zhao sure that the Princess's Mansion will be at the mercy of others and will have no power to resist?
That's too self-righteous.
Zhao Chuanming was furious. He walked out of the gate and pointed at Liu Zhao, "Nephew Liu Zhao, what do you mean? You led people to besiege the Princess's Mansion. Aren't you afraid of being punished by His Majesty?"
Liu Zhao put down his teacup and glanced at Zhao Chuanming with contempt.
He ignored the other party and asked Lin Shuping instead, "What did your Highness say?"
"Anyone who dares to disobey my orders and attempts to enter or leave the Princess's residence will be beaten back."
Liu Zhao's face darkened. "Then why are you still standing there? Do you want me to do it myself?"
When Lin Shuping heard this, he didn't hesitate any longer and waved his hand, "Fight back."
When the guards received the order, they didn't care whether Zhao Chuanming was the eldest princess's son or the emperor's cousin, they picked up sticks and started beating him.
"You're rebelling! You even dare to attack me. Liu Zhao, you're absolutely lawless. But I, ouch..."
"Master, a wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Come back quickly."
The gatekeeper and the servants hurriedly pulled Zhao Chuanming back into the gate. He was also beaten with a few sticks, which was very painful.
These damn guards showed no mercy when they beat people up.
Zhao Chuanming was hit with at least a dozen sticks, and was hit on the face. Half of his face was swollen in an instant, and he could not see with his eyes.
If you touch it, it will hurt so much that you will die.
As the eldest son of Princess Chaoyang, Zhao Chuanming had lived a life of luxury since childhood and had never suffered such hardship.
He was furious and full of hatred, and he wanted to skin Liu Zhao and eat his flesh.
But Liu Zhao was a filthy scoundrel, just like his father.
Although Zhao Chuanming wanted to kill Liu Zhao, he was afraid of Liu Zhao's military power.
He stood inside the gate and pointed at Liu Zhao, "Liu Zhao, how dare you assault an official appointed by the imperial court? I will go to the palace to sue you."
Bang!
Liu Zhao picked up the teacup and smashed it.
"Sue me, go ahead. I can't kill you."
This is a blatant personal threat.
Zhao Chuanming was so angry that he couldn't speak, "You, you, you..."
"What do you mean? If you don't want to die, go back and tell that old witch Chaoyang to come out."
Liu Zhao was not polite at all, and even omitted the most basic verbal respect.
Zhao Chuanming, a coward, would never do such a cruel thing as sending someone to assassinate Gu Jiu in the street.
Only the old witch Chaoyang, who has been arrogant all her life, could do such a thing.
The princesses of the Great Zhou Dynasty were all very ruthless. When they got crazy, even the princes, dukes, and royal brothers would bow down to them.
The princesses of the Zhou Dynasty were tough and powerful. Chaoyang was not the first and would not be the last.
This is a tradition passed down from Taizu's generation.
The princesses of Taizu's generation set a bad example, and the princesses who followed them naturally followed suit.
Expecting the princess to be gentle, respectful, frugal and modest is a dream!
Not participating in the fight for the throne and not attempting to kill the king and become emperor themselves was the greatest restraint the princesses had shown.
Sending people to assassinate the wife of the current prince in the street, and using crossbows, this kind of crazy thing, that old woman Chaoyang is definitely capable of doing.
So Liu Zhao didn't waste any time and didn't wait for the results of the Jinwu Guard's investigation. He directly razed the casino to the ground and surrounded the princess's mansion.
Since the old lady in Chaoyang doesn't follow the rules, Liu Zhao naturally doesn't have to follow the rules either.
If you dare to break the rules of the game, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.
Zhao Chuanming was so angry that he couldn't stand Liu Zhao calling his mother an old witch. He wanted to be a man of action and stepped out of the door to fight Liu Zhao to the death.
"You can't go out!"
The doorman brought his men and quickly pulled Zhao Chuanming back.
"Master, you can't be so confused. They really will hit people. Master, hurry back to your room and apply medicine. Your face is almost disfigured."
It would have been fine if he hadn't mentioned his face, but as soon as he did, Zhao Chuanming took a breath of cold air and it hurt so much.
He covered his cheek and pointed at Liu Zhao with one hand, "Liu Zhao, you will not die well. You are so powerful now, but it won't be long before you will be in trouble."
Liu Zhao smiled contemptuously, "I've been sitting here for a long time, waiting for you to show me what I'm capable of. If you don't show me what I'm capable of, I'll show you what I'm capable of."
What an arrogant prince.
Zhao Chuanming was terrified. "You, you, you, just wait, this isn't over yet."
"Wait then. But my patience is limited, so you'd better hurry up. Otherwise, don't blame me for breaking in."
Zhao Chuanming was no match for Liu Zhao at all, even in terms of momentum, he was far inferior to Liu Zhao.
The dignity of the elders was torn off and trampled on the ground.
Zhao Chuanming was just like the doorman before, running back in a panic.
If I can't afford to offend you, can't I just hide away?
The Princess's Mansion is right at the foot of the Imperial City, and the people living around it are all from the aristocratic circle of the capital.
For example, the Zhu family of Cheng'enbo Mansion is on the same street.
The street was very quiet, but if you look closely, you will find that the side door of every house is ajar, and several pairs of eyes are staring at the situation on the street.
The Zhu family is no exception.
"Father, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led his men to surround Princess Chaoyang's residence. How courageous! Isn't he afraid of His Majesty's punishment?"
Zhu Ci, the Earl of Cheng'en, snorted coldly, "In your Majesty's mind, one is your biological son, the other is your aunt. Which one is closer to you?"
"Of course it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"That's it. No matter how much trouble the Crown Prince makes, at most he'll be reprimanded by His Majesty and locked up in the Zongzheng Temple for a few days. But the same can't be said for Princess Chaoyang!"
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci shook his head and waved his hands, then said, "Don't interfere, don't say a word. Just pretend you don't know about this."
"I wonder why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to besiege the Princess's residence?"
"It must be a bigger accident. Send someone out secretly to find out what happened."
"As you command, my son. I will send someone out to find out the news."
