Everyone in the casino turned to look at the man who spoke at the entrance; they knew from his tone that he was the boss!
"I heard this boss is the emperor's nephew! He has a very powerful backer!"
"Really? No wonder this casino has been open for so many years! I've seen all the casinos nearby close down, but this one has been open for so long!"
"The Emperor's nephew is truly remarkable!"
When Song Yan'er saw the person who came, she and the old lady exchanged a glance. Both of them felt a sense of relief that they had changed into men's clothing!
If others can't recognize him, then his own grandson should be able to!
Song Yan'er was a little anxious, afraid that the old lady would be recognized! The old lady glanced at Song Yan'er:
"Don't panic, he won't recognize you. He's just a big, clumsy guy who only tries to make himself known to these people! He wouldn't even think about it that way!"
The grandmother certainly knew her grandson well, so the old lady looked at him calmly:
"Are you the owner of this gambling den? You think we can't leave now that we've won money?"
Xiao Yang's second brother, Xiao Zheng, looked at the man speaking in front of him and let out a soft chuckle.
"So what if we don't let you go?"
Xiao Zheng looked Song Yan'er up and down. Perhaps because he didn't recognize her, he assumed that Song Yan'er was someone he couldn't afford to offend in the capital, so he was extremely arrogant!
"Heh, did you hear that? So all the casino's confidence comes from the boss!"
The old lady looked at her grandson, shook her head, and said meaningfully:
"You're done!"
Xiao Zheng scoffed: "Just you guys?"
As soon as Song Yan'er saw Xiao Zheng, she remembered what Xiao Yang had said about being framed when he was a child, so it was destined that he would get a beating from the moment he appeared!
The old lady knew Song Yan'er too well, so she knew exactly what Song Yan'er was thinking. Of course, this grandson deserved a beating!
They actually dared to sneak out during the wake! They must have a death wish!
Song Yan'er moved closer to Xiao Zheng, until she was less than 20 centimeters away from him!
"Yes, it's us!"
As he spoke, he punched Xiao Zheng, giving Xiao Zheng a black eye!
Song Yan'er said that using the Peerless Sword to deal with Xiao Zheng was giving him too much credit!
Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect him to be so fierce and to attack directly!
"You brat, you're dead meat! You dare hit me? I'll make you wish you were dead!"
Song Yan'er: "Oh? In that case, I'll make you wish you were dead first!"
Then she punched Xiao Zheng again. Song Yan'er's punch was imbued with internal force, so Xiao Zheng would remain in that state for a while!
"Hmm, very good, symmetry is perfect!"
Song Yan'er was still admiring her masterpiece!
Xiao Zheng didn't bring any bodyguards because he ran away secretly. Of course, since General Xiao was his father, almost no one in the capital dared to mess with him. Therefore, Xiao Zheng's martial arts skills were not very good, only around level three or four!
This level of opponent is someone that Song Yan'er could easily defeat without even lifting a finger!
So Song Yan'er used the most basic move to directly beat Xiao Yuan so badly that he couldn't get up!
"Damn it, all of you, get her! Take her down! Whoever can do it will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"
Song Yan'er...
"I'm only worth this much silver?! Huh??"
Song Yan'er stepped directly on Xiao Zheng's face with her foot. She felt a great sense of accomplishment watching Xiao Zheng like this and really wanted to take a picture of this scene with her phone to show Xiao Yang!
Seeing his men being beaten down one by one, Xiao Zheng became anxious:
"Great hero, please leave! I was wrong, please forgive me!"
"Bah! You coward! You've harmed the Emperor's nephew! You've brought shame upon the Emperor!"
The old lady couldn't stand it anymore; he was such a bear! She really didn't want to admit that this was her grandson!
"You want me to leave? Haven't you heard the saying, 'It's easy to invite a Buddha, but hard to send him away'?"
Song Yan'er glanced around the entire casino and realized there was nothing to extort! Let's try something more practical then!
"Great hero, what do you suggest we do?"
Xiao Zheng has lost all face and dignity today, and now all he wants to do is get rid of these two as soon as possible!
The thugs in this casino are useless; not a single one of them is of any use!
"Five thousand taels! One price, I'll buy your dog's life!"
"Sir, isn't five thousand taels a bit too much?"
Song Yan'er raised an eyebrow: "Too much? Then let's make it ten thousand taels!"
Xiao Zheng...
"Let me tell you, don't get cocky. This capital city is full of patrol officers. What you're doing is extortion!"
Xiao Zheng was really reluctant to part with ten thousand taels of silver, so he hardened his stance a little! He prayed in his heart that the patrol battalion would arrive quickly!
The old lady scoffed, "A coward is a coward! Hurry up, or it'll cost twenty thousand taels!"
Seeing the old lady standing on her side, Song Yan'er became even more fearless!
Originally, she wanted to extort 20,000 taels of silver, but since he was the old lady's grandson, Song Yan'er didn't ask for that much. Unexpectedly, the old lady raised the price directly!
Xiao Zheng was on the verge of tears: "Senior, I really don't have that many!"
Song Yan'er took out a dagger from her spatial storage, squatted down, and held the dagger in her hand, playing with it.
"No? How could that be! The Emperor's nephew doesn't even have twenty thousand taels?"
Xiao Zheng watched the dagger dangling in front of his eyes, terrified that it might accidentally hit his face if he wasn't careful!
"Alright, hero, you wait here while I send my men home to get the silver!"
Xiao Zheng just wants to resolve this matter as soon as possible! He's feeling really uncomfortable right now!
"If it's not over in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, I'll chop off your hand!"
Song Yan'er spoke the harshest words with a blank expression! Suddenly, she thought of something and then said to Xiao Zheng:
"If you're going to call for reinforcements, hurry up! Each reinforcement costs ten thousand taels!"
Xiao Zheng...
He gave the dealer a look, and the dealer quickly ran out!
The old lady stood next to Song Yan'er, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Yan'er, how are you so amazing? The aura you just unleashed was something I've only ever seen in my eldest son! How did you do that?"
Song Yan'er rolled her eyes at the old lady: You've been the Empress Dowager for decades, and you still haven't mastered it?
The old lady saw through Song Yan'er's thoughts and touched her nose!
This really can't be blamed on the old lady. In fact, the old lady was able to become the Empress Dowager purely by good luck. She also had General Si to help her devise strategies, and her son was capable. So the old lady didn't have to do much thinking!
All the shops the old lady owned were managed by managers found for her by General Si, so she didn't have to show her face and could count silver until her hands were sore!
Therefore, the old lady only pretends to be very powerful in front of the concubines in the harem, but she has no authority whatsoever in front of General Si and her son!
However, these old ladies didn't care. After all, it would be exhausting to put on airs in front of their own relatives!
The old lady didn't like that kind of person; she always believed that one should enjoy life to the fullest!
