Chapter 17 Separation

"The gambling house is not an ordinary place. If you want to go there, you'd better bring the guards from the Prince's Mansion." Zhou Yan generously gave her two guards, just in case.

Lin Xing accepted it with a smile, and arranged for two guards to stay in another courtyard when she returned home.

She called Uncle Zhong and asked him to investigate the gambling houses where the Lin family owed gambling debts.

Uncle Zhong knew that the Zhao family had plotted against Lin Xing first, so he took extra care and found out the high-rise building called Wanqian Gambling House in a long time.

Speaking of Wanqian Gambling House, Uncle Zhong hesitated before saying: "Wanqian Gambling House is the largest gambling house in Yuzhou. There are so many scammers in it that ordinary people would not dare to go in without bringing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes.

, Mr. Lin was probably set up by someone when he entered."

Uncle Zhong had not originally planned to tell Lin Xing all the facts, but under Lin Xing's questioning, he had to say: "Thousands of gambling shops set up traps to lure people into taking the bait. If they can't get the money, they will trick them into selling their sons and daughters, or they will borrow money from them."

What he did to usury money can be described as unscrupulous. And it seems to be related to the second master behind it, but our people can't find out clearly."

They couldn't find out clearly. It was obvious that they didn't dare to investigate further, and Mr. Zhao would not allow them to investigate further.

The Zhao family also has unclear industries, but the gambling house is the least involved. Because Zhao Yi was defrauded of all his wealth when he was young, which almost destroyed the Zhao family, so he later ordered that no one in the Zhao family was allowed to get involved in private.

Gambling, if anyone violates the rules, he will be kicked out of the Zhao family directly.

Lin Xing thought she was the only victim, but she never imagined that there was a complete industrial chain behind it.

Before now, she didn't want to alert the enemy, but if Wan Qian Gambling House was really related to Zhao Jing, she must cut ties with him as soon as possible and remove this cancer.

Lin Xingdao: "Zhao Jing is not only involved in gambling, but also coerces and induces others to owe high debts. Despite this, the old lady still keeps him in the Zhao family. This shows how partial the old lady is."

"After all, we are brothers from the same mother. I am not a ruthless person, so I have no choice but to turn a blind eye." Uncle Zhong considered and said, "My second grandpa's gambling debts in the past two years were all taken from his private treasury."

They took money from there to pay him back, but it wasn’t until the past two years that the old man was so strapped that he couldn’t come up with the money that they decided to turn to him.”

"You dare to poison Zhao Yi by spending his money. You are simply raising an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. Even raising a dog is better than raising them!"

Relying on the fact that she was not a member of the Zhao family and had enmity with other members of the Zhao family, Lin Xing scolded the old man of the Zhao family and Zhao Jing without being soft-spoken at all, and was very relieved to hear it.

Despite the scolding, Lin Xing still had some sense. She told Uncle Zhong, "Since the master made this rule before his death, he must follow it in the future. Zhao Jing was involved in gambling. According to the rules set by the master, he should have been expelled."

We are leaving the Zhao family. But our eldest brother has nothing to do with the Zhao family anymore. We will look for an opportunity to divide the family property, so that we can live our own lives in the future without disturbing each other."

"But the documents from the government office haven't come down yet. If you are planning to separate the family now, I'm afraid you will be found out." Uncle Zhong thought so in his heart, but he still wanted to persuade him.

"If you don't tell me, I've forgotten that I still have the leverage for the Zhao family to buy the Shark Man!" Lin Xing's eyes lit up, "I'm going to teach the Zhao family that they won't be able to take away a single copper!"

After saying that, she immediately took the two guards given to her by Zhou Yan to the Prince's Mansion to find evidence that Zhang Ping wanted to come to Zhao's house to buy the Shark Man.

Zhang Ping is worthy of being the person next to the prince, and he is very efficient in doing things. He has already collected all the evidence that Mr. Zhao bought the fierce shark man.

Lin Xing was not polite to him either. After taking the evidence, he led Uncle Zhong and his group to Zhao's house.

There was a quarrel with Lin Xing in the government last time. Wei Shi fell ill when she came back. She has been relying on ginseng soup for the past few days. There is nothing serious, but she has to scold Lin Xing every day to vent her anger.

Today I heard that Lin Xing brought someone to the door. Mrs. Wei was so angry that her face turned red. She was no longer as wealthy as before, and she scolded her even more harshly than a shrew. "She is a widow and she dares to come to the door? Come here, beat her out!"

"I'm afraid it's not your turn to make the decision in the Zhao family." Lin Xing led twenty guards and stormed into the Zhao family aggressively without even closing the door, giving the people outside with their heads stretched out a chance to watch the show.

Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't come forward, so Ms. Wei had no choice but to support her sick body and walk out. She looked at Lin Xing and cried with aggrieved face: "You have the prince as your backer. Our Zhao family has been half-dead by you. Now we are still alive, and you still want to

How about it?"

She bit back as soon as she came forward, but it was a pity that Lin Xing didn't take the initiative.

"Is it because of me that the Zhao family is half-dead? It's obviously your fault!" Lin Xing walked into the flower hall half-stepping and said bluntly, "The people of Yuzhou saw clearly the records between you and me in the court before, and now we don't have to rely on you to make excuses.

, I came here today just to separate the families, and I also asked Mr. Zhao to come out and put this matter in order."

When she heard about the separation, Mrs. Wei's eyes widened, she pointed at Lin Xing and cursed: "You bitch! How can you speak in this family? Don't think that you can ride on me just because Zhao Yi is dead! I

It’s his mother. Even if he is alive, he must be obedient when he sees me! Who are you to come here to separate the family? If we want to separate, you have to get out of the Zhao family!"

But Lin Xing was prepared. She asked Uncle Zhong to take out Zhao Yi's will and read it in public.

"This was written by the master during his lifetime. Everyone in Yuzhou knows that Uncle Zhong is the master's confidant. With Uncle Zhong here, I can't cheat." After Lin Xing finished speaking, she winked at Uncle Zhong and said, "Read it."

Although Uncle Zhong was old, he was full of energy and could read a will without blushing or out of breath.

When everyone heard that Zhao Yi would rather hand over the Zhao family to Lin Xing, the successor, than to Old Mrs. Zhao, they could probably guess the mystery behind it.

Wei didn't expect this outcome at all. She stepped forward to grab the will frantically, but was suppressed by the guards brought by Lin Xing before she could move.

Lin Xing walked up to her, suddenly took out a banknote that had been exchanged, and waved it in front of Wei's eyes with her back to the people of Yuzhou.

Seeing Wei's frightened eyes, Lin Xing knew that her goal had been achieved.

"If the old lady is willing to separate the family, I will pretend that I have never seen this banknote. Otherwise, the old lady will not want to know what the crime of assassinating Chang'an Hou Shizi is." Lin Xing said in a voice that only they could hear.

"Nonsense, the person we want to kill is you..."

"The prince is on that carriage. Who can tell clearly whether the person you want to kill is me or him?"

Lin Xing raised the corners of her lips and smiled brightly, "You must have heard that the prince and I were assassinated again a few days ago, right? Can you tell me if these two cases will be handled concurrently, will Master Yang be the first to do so?

Do you doubt me?"

Wei's heart suddenly fell to the bottom.

"My patience is limited. The old lady can decide for herself whether to separate the family." Lin Xing sat back on the main seat, holding a teacup and staring at Wei.

After a long while, Wei finally squeezed out a word through her teeth.
