After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Chapter 172: Two Kings Fighting

Three days later.

An event that shocked the government and the public spread in Kyoto.

A mine in Tanzhou collapsed, killing many people. When the local prefect went to investigate, he discovered that the mine was actually an iron mine.

Some people mined iron ore illegally and killed many people.

And the businessman who mined the iron ore was named Wang.

The relatives of the deceased miners all knelt in front of the government office, threatening death and begging the court for an explanation. The local prefect was so scared that he sent a memorial to the palace overnight.

In the court, Emperor Yong was furious.

When Xie and Cui heard that the businessman who was illegally mining iron ore was named Wang, they started to target Wang without saying a word.

It just so happened that the merchant Wang family had some connection with the Wang family of Langya. Prince Li could no longer sit still and immediately dragged Ying Chu into the water.

After a heated debate, Emperor Yong executed the merchant surnamed Wang, and all the officials who had given the merchant surnamed Wang backdoors were arrested. Even several officials surnamed Wang in the court were held accountable.

After the court session, Prince Li walked over to Prince Qi and said with a smile, "Second brother, there really are unforeseen events. How could this perfectly good mine collapse?"

The King of Qi looked at the King of Li with a gloomy face: "Whether it is a natural disaster or man-made, my eldest brother knows it clearly."

"How can I know that?"

Prince Li didn't take it seriously. He patted Prince Qi on the shoulder and advised, "Although this matter has nothing to do with you, Second Prince, the Wang family is your maternal family after all. You still have to persuade them. Mining iron ore privately is suspected of treason. If it weren't for my father's wisdom, the Wang family of Langya might... Tsk tsk!"

Ying Yuan had a regretful expression.

Ying Chu stared at Ying Yuan's face for a long while, his expression gloomy: "Big Brother, I'd better not give you any evidence against me, otherwise..."

With a cold snort, Ying Chu flicked his sleeves and left.

Ying Yuan said cheerfully from behind: "Second brother, please don't misunderstand me. This iron mine incident has nothing to do with me. You can't make random accusations..."

Ying Chu's expression became even uglier.

How could it be that it had nothing to do with Ying Yuan? If the people below hadn't found the token deep in the mine, he would have really thought that the iron mine collapse was just an accident.

I didn’t expect Ying Yuan’s hand to reach Tanzhou!

Ying Chu took a deep breath, and the first thing he did after returning to Prince Qi's Mansion was to ask his staff to order the people below to start taking action against Ying Yuan.

Tanzhou Iron Mine was his greatest reliance, and now that it was destroyed by Ying Yuan, he would not let it go so easily!

The next day.

All of Prince Li’s shops in Kyoto were suddenly out of stock.

Not only that, even the Anbao gambling house, which was making a fortune every day, was suddenly closed down by the yamen runners from Jingzhao Prefecture!

Prince Li was confused.

He hurried to the Twelve Lanes and saw Lord Li, the prefect of Jingzhao, sealing the door of Anbao Casino.

Prince Li shouted, "Li Bo! How dare you!"

Li Bo was shocked.

He almost tore off the seal in his hand.

He turned to look at Prince Li and immediately knelt forward to pay his respects. "Your humble servant greets His Highness Prince Li. How did His Highness come here?"

Prince Li glared at him angrily. "If I hadn't come here, how would I have known that you would have the audacity to seal my property? I command you to tear off the seal immediately!"

"No, Your Highness..."

"Why not?"

Li Bo said with a bitter face: "Well...someone reported that there were spies from other countries mixed in with Anbao Casino, so..."

Prince Li was so angry that his face turned pale.

Reports on gambling houses were common, but everyone in Kyoto knew that Changle was Yingchu's property, and Anbao was his. Who would dare to report the prince's property? Even if there were some who were blind, they would be beaten back by the various government offices. Did Li Bo want to quit today?

Prince Li said gloomily, "Someone reported you and you brought people to shut down the gambling house? When did you, the Jingzhao prefect, become so obedient?"

"You are not allowed to disobey..."

Li Bo whispered, "People close to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi came to report it personally. How could a mere prefect like me afford to offend them?"

"together……"

Prince Li was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "You said it was Second Prince's people who reported it?"

Li Bo nodded repeatedly: "That's right."

But he had already been cursing in his heart. When the matter of the Tanzhou iron mine was discovered in the court yesterday, Li Bo knew that his good days were over.

Just this morning, someone came to Jingzhao Prefecture with the King of Qi's handwritten edict.

A few days ago, I was ordered around by Miss Yan, and today I am being treated like a mule by the King of Qi. It is really a fight between gods, and the little devil suffers.

Is it easy for him!

"so……"

Seeing Prince Li's face suddenly turn ugly, Li Bo whispered, "If there is any misunderstanding between you and Prince Qi, please clarify it. As long as Prince Qi withdraws..."

"Good! Good! Good!"

Prince Li suddenly laughed out of anger.

He was asking why all his stores were suddenly out of stock on the same day, and it turned out that it was his good brother who did it!

He even attacked his An Bao. It seems that Ying Chu has lost all his dignity. Since he is unkind, don't blame him for being unrighteous!

"Somebody come!"

Prince Li ordered, "Go to Changle and smash it!"

So, the people from Prince Li's Mansion rushed towards Changle on the opposite side, beating anyone they saw and smashing anything they saw without caring about anything.

Although Changle Casino had guards, they were not as numerous and powerful as the guards at the palace. Soon, the Changle Casino, which had been crowded with people just now, was smashed to pieces, and all the people who entered the casino were driven out.

After Prince Li had the Changle Casino smashed, he did not calm down. Instead, he led his men to smash all of Prince Qi's official businesses in Kyoto.

On this day, the Twelve Wards of Kyoto were in chaos.

Some shops are out of stock.

Some shops were smashed.

Customers had no choice but to go to small shops that were rarely visited on weekdays.

And the Fugui Casino, which was not affected at all in this battle between the two kings.

"Miss, you don't know. Everyone in the Twelve Quarters is in chaos right now. Those business owners are in dire straits. His Royal Highness Prince Li has gone completely mad, bringing people into the store and smashing it up!"

At the Princess's Mansion, Luzhi exaggeratedly told Yan Qing the news she had inquired about, "Fortunately, the young lady had foresight. Two days ago, she specially bought up all the shops near the properties of His Highness the Prince of Qi and His Highness the Prince of Li. Now, some of the goods in their shops are out of stock, while others are damaged. Those customers have no choice but to go to our shop to buy things. I secretly took a look and saw a lot of money!"

Yan Qing smiled but said nothing.

It was not that she had foresight, but that after Gu Huaizhou came out of the palace that day, he had someone send her a copy of the property distribution map of Prince Qi and Prince Li.

At that moment, she understood what Gu Huaizhou meant when he said that only she could help...

So at that time, Yan Qing secretly had someone buy the shops near the properties of King Li of Qi. Now that the two families were fighting, it was naturally a good thing for her.

Luzhi said happily: "Miss, if we can do this every day, won't we be rich?"

Yan Qing laughed: "I'm afraid we can't do this every day, but at least in the next few days, we can take advantage of this opportunity to run our shop..."
