Chapter 117: Arrest (12 per day, , monthly ticket requested)
When the casino attendant went to call for help,
Teahouse on the Rock,
Boxes of Mora were moved out of the warehouse.
In addition to Mora, there were boxes of goods.
Most of these things are collateralized by gamblers.
And Wang Hao’s goal is also among them.
A grayish-yellow, very dull-looking talisman paper was mixed in with a pile of miscellaneous items.
Although it looked extremely inconspicuous, Wang Hao was attracted by it at first sight.
This talisman is filled with a power that is completely different from ordinary elemental power.
Wang Hao didn't know how to describe it.
But considering the origin of this talisman with no taboos,
Wang Hao believed that this power should be immortal power.
A power formed by the Liyue immortals using their own strength combined with elemental force.
Rummaging among the sundries,
Wang Hao wiped his hand and put away the Hundred Taboos Talisman without attracting anyone's attention.
The casino's thugs have actually surrounded the casino.
They couldn't beat Wang Hao and didn't dare to move forward, but they also guarded their positions and didn't let ordinary gamblers leave.
In fact, everyone is waiting.
When help comes, the matter will be resolved completely.
The fat boss watched Wang Hao picking and choosing among his treasures, the fat on his face trembling slightly as he suppressed his anger.
I secretly swore in my heart that when reinforcements arrived, I would reverse right and wrong and kill this guy.
Time passes little by little,
Suddenly, there were orderly footsteps outside the Yanshang Teahouse.
The first person to arrive was not the savior of Feiyunpo that the fat boss was expecting.
On the contrary, it was the murderous Thousand Rocks Army.
"Why is it the Qianyan Army!?"
The fat boss was a little dumbfounded. This was different from what he expected.
According to his plan, the nobleman from Feiyunpo should come first, and with the help of the nobleman, accuse Wang Hao of cheating, and then threaten and bribe the gamblers present to speak with one voice. To this end, even admitting some of the chips in the hands of these gamblers would be fine.
Compared to the situation where all the money is taken away by Wang Hao alone and the gamblers get nothing, if a portion of the chips can be cashed in, the fat boss is sure that these gamblers will change their minds and attack Wang Hao together.
Even though Wang Hao was the one who led them to victory.
After the gamblers started to bite Wang Hao and determined that Wang Hao was cheating,
Only the fat boss could notify the authorities and arrest Wang Hao on charges of cheating, making trouble, even assault, threats, blackmail, etc.
But now, the nobleman from Feiyunpo has not arrived yet, so how come the Qianyan Army arrived first?
Now the situation is still under the control of Wang Hao, and he has not yet threatened or bribed the gamblers to change their words.
How come the Qianyan Army can come?
The fat boss looked gloomy.
He already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Wang Hao smiled and looked at the general who led the Qianyan Army, but did not say hello.
The Qianyan Army would come, and naturally it was Wang Hao who sent people to call them.
The fat boss understands gamblers, and Wang Hao understands gamblers even better.
He never thought that these gamblers would testify for him.
As long as the fat boss spreads some Mora, these gamblers will definitely change their minds.
Therefore, we have to control everything before they change their minds and make this matter final.
"This commander has received news that there is a fight here. What is going on?"
Feng Yan glanced at Wang Hao, and then acted in a businesslike manner.
He even used the excuse of investigating a fight as the reason for coming here, and did not mention the gambling at all.
A glimmer of hope appeared in the fat boss's eyes. Could it be that this Qianyan Army was not called by the other party?
He struggled with his fat body and pointed his finger with the ring at Wang Hao: "Sir, it's this guy. Look how he beat me."
His tone was so aggrieved and his face so sad that if Feng Yan didn't know Wang Hao, he would almost believe it.
Unfortunately, he was the one Wang Hao called.
Feng Yan said coldly: "You are just talking nonsense. Shut up and stop howling."
As he said this, he glared at the fat boss.
The fat boss's face turned pale again, and the hope in his heart was instantly shattered.
"You tell me."
Feng Yan pointed at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao looked natural, as if to say, "I am right and I have nothing to be afraid of."
"I heard there was a casino here, so I came here to try it out, and then I started winning money. But later on, the casino owner refused to admit his mistake and even wanted to beat me up. I had no choice but to fight back, and finally he agreed to pay me. Look, this is the money he gave me on the ground."
Feng Yan's eyes twitched slightly. He actually already knew that Wang Hao had won twenty games in a row and had nailed the casino down.
After all, when No. 3 went to report the news and call people, he had to make things clear.
But hearing Wang Hao say it in a relaxed manner, it was still a bit difficult to remain nervous.
This guy must be a gambling god.
He won twenty games in a row. If Feng Yan didn't know Wang Hao's methods, he would have thought that Wang Hao was cheating.
"Can anyone prove it?" Feng Yan asked.
Wang Hao pointed at the people around him and said, "These gamblers are still holding chips in their hands. They all won with me. They can testify."
The fat boss subconsciously looked at the gamblers viciously.
The gamblers also noticed this look and immediately became silent, not daring to speak.
"Okay, you still dare to threaten me."
Feng Yan glared, grabbed the fat boss's hair, and turned his head away to stop him from glaring at the gamblers.
But even so, the gamblers did not speak.
It is impossible for a gambler to bite back at the casino owner.
They still have chips in their hands. If the Qianyan Army captures the casino owner and pays all the money to Wang Hao, can they still exchange their chips for Mora?
What the gamblers hoped more was that Wang Hao would be arrested, and then the casino owner might exchange the chips in their hands in order to appease them.
Why can casinos always suppress them? Because they are gamblers.
Therefore, they prefer to gamble on the chance that the boss is willing to exchange the chips.
If the boss refuses to exchange the money, they will turn against him and help Wang Hao deal with the fat boss.
As for whether it is immoral to betray others many times,
What a joke! Gamblers have no morals at all. When the time comes, he can just say that he was threatened by the fat boss.
Who knows, I might be able to get some money from Wang Hao at that time.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you're silent. It looks like you've been threatened. Okay."
Seeing that no one spoke, Feng Yan was not polite and waved his hand.
"Take them all back first and interrogate them separately. Someone will speak up eventually."
When he heard that they would be interrogated separately, the fat boss's face became even uglier.
He knew that once he got out of here, these gamblers would probably turn against him again.
But now he was being watched by the Qianyan Army and couldn't do anything.
As for resisting the Qianyan Army...
He is just a casino owner. Although he can be considered a bad guy, he is not a traitor.
At this time,
There was noise outside the Yanshang Teahouse again.
Several richly dressed officials came in.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the Qianyan Army present.
Several officials looked unhappy immediately.
Why is the Qianyan Army here?
Some people even saw Wang Hao in the crowd.
Since they are regarded as a backer by Yanshang Tea House, they naturally have some status in Liyue.
He recognized the famous man in front of Ningguang at a glance.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Zhuang and Boss Wang? Why are you here?"
Feng Yan greeted him with a smile on his face.
The man called Mr. Zhuang twitched his lips and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I just passed by and came to see the excitement."
As he said that, he looked at Wang Hao: "Ah, isn't this classmate Wang Hao? What a coincidence."
Wang Hao was stunned. Who are you?
Seeing Wang Hao's puzzled look, Boss Zhuang walked up to him and said, "Haha, I'm Zhuang Sen's parent. I haven't thanked you for what happened two years ago."
Jonson?
Wang Hao had an excellent memory and he thought of the person after just a little thought.
I am a classmate of Tongwen College.
Two years ago, when Keqing made her second donation, this classmate also donated a lot.
On the charity list that Wang Hao gave to the dean's grandmother, Zhuang Sen was at the top of the list.
When he remembered that he was his classmate, Wang Hao's expression changed slightly.
"Boss Zhuang... Normally, I should call you uncle, but you... you also do this kind of business?"
Wang Hao naturally knew what the other party was here for. He must be here to support the fat boss.
"Zhuang Sen's sense of justice made him one of the most generous students when he donated money. What are you doing..."
Wang Hao's tone was full of regret, as if he was saying that you have embarrassed your son.
Boss Zhuang's face turned red and white, but in the end he still bowed to Wang Hao and said, "Just pretend I was never here today."
After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "The account book will be delivered tomorrow. Zhuang Sen must not know about this."
If the son knew that his heroic father (who gave money to support charity) actually accepted money from the casino...
Boss Zhuang had no idea how his philanthropist-loving son would collapse.
Anyway, I have other businesses, and the filial piety from the casino is not as good as that from my own son.
After saying that, Boss Zhuang turned around and left.
I didn’t care about the other Boss Wang. Boss Wang: …
You take me away.
Noticing Wang Hao's gaze turning towards him,
Boss Wang also gritted his teeth and said, "I will not get involved in this matter. I will send the account book tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned and left.
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, the filth beneath the glamor. 】
Why don't you arrest these two too?
[Yes, why not arrest him? ]
[Compared to the fat boss, these two people are more disgusting. ]
【…】
The comments sneered at the two bosses.
The casino owner is disgusting, but the supporters behind him are even more disgusting.
Watching the Qianyan Army taking away gamblers and thugs one by one,
Wang Hao shook his head slightly: "It's not that easy. The fact that these two people dared to send the account books here means that they are not the real backers. Even if we arrest them, we won't find any evidence."
Casinos are legal businesses, at least for now, and it is the crimes that extend from casinos that are illegal.
Therefore, it is useless to arrest the two wealthy businessmen who dared to hand over the account books. These two people are not the real backers of the casino at all. They are at most stakeholders.
If we catch them, we will alert the enemy.
Unless Wang Hao is willing to torture them,
But this goes against Wang Hao's bottom line.
They are Liyue people, and to deal with them, we must have evidence.
Without evidence, you can't take action, but if you need evidence, you have to take action. If you don't take action, there will be no evidence...
This is undoubtedly a vicious circle.
Therefore, it is better to let them go this time. Maybe... they can be of greater use in the future.
"Moreover, the retreat of these two can also scare off other 'nobles'. Our main target now is still the casino. We don't have much evidence yet. Blindly expanding the scope of the battle may cause accidents."
Wang Hao continued to explain to the barrage.
The fact that he let these two bosses go was also a statement that he was only targeting the casinos.
If these two people are arrested together, it will only make more people related to the casino panic and easily cause more trouble.
It would be better to let them go and calm the others down first.
It will be the same when you finish cleaning up the casino and then come back to settle the accounts.
"You have to go back with me too."
Feng Yan walked up to Wang Hao and spoke.
Since the purpose is to arrest someone, it is impossible to let Wang Hao go, otherwise he may become a target of attack by others.
"Okay, I'll go with you. By the way, seal up the Mora and other things here first."
Wang Hao naturally would not refuse, as he had prepared for this a long time ago.
He had made complete preparations before arriving at the casino.
Enter the casino, stir up trouble, start a conflict, introduce the Thousand Rocks Army, and it is best to complete the trial of the casino according to the gambling agreement (contract).
Repay the other person with his own way.
This is how Wang Hao cleans up the casino.
This method is also a method that outsiders cannot refute.
After all, that's what the casino does, so when Wang Hao did this, you can't say that Wang Hao was unreasonable.
It is normal to have double standards, but if you have double standards for someone with a background, don't blame the iron fist for falling.
The Qianyan Army escorted the gamblers back to their base in the city.
This also includes the fat boss and his thugs, and of course, Wang Hao.
Separate everyone from each other.
The benefits of letting the two bosses go before have already become apparent.
Since the Qianyan Army took action, no one has come out to stop it or say a word of good words.
The fat boss has been tacitly abandoned by his circle.
The interrogation work of Qianyan Army began to become simple.
Without the objective conditions for gathering and following the crowd, some gamblers will soon be unable to bear it.
The confessions were signed and sealed, and Wang Hao finally got the evidence he wanted.
The confessions of the gamblers can fully prove that Wang Hao was invited to the table. The casino said he cheated, but there was no evidence.
That is,
The bill of 300 million Mora can be completely confirmed.
Being held in a solitary room, the fat boss felt a chill down his spine.
He didn't understand why no one came to rescue him yet.
Could it be that all the Mora he gave away every year were wasted?
‘click’
The door of the small dark room was opened.
Feng Yan walked in.
The fat boss looked up with expectation in his eyes.
He hoped that someone would come to rescue him.
Unfortunately, Feng Yan's face was filled with indifference: "Everyone else has already confessed. Your casino has lost 300 million Mora. Whether you admit it or not, you will be forced to execute it."
A bet is also a contract. For a gambler who has lost everything, it is like this.
The same is true for casinos that lose all their money.
The God of Contract never favors anyone.
The fat boss's casino has forced gamblers to lose their families and homes countless times. Now, it's his turn.
Hearing Feng Yan's voice, the fat boss's face turned dead silent and his heart was filled with despair.
"but……"
"Ok?"
Is there a twist?
The fat boss had a glimmer of hope again.
His mood was toyed with by Feng Yan, like Tom Cat who was obsessed with love.
"If you are willing to tell us some of the information we want, there is still a way out..."
Feng Yan said with a smile,
But in the eyes of the fat boss, his smile was like that of a devil.
Well, in the eyes of those gamblers’ families whose families were broken up, the fat boss’ smile used to be like this.
There was silence for a while.
The fat boss spoke with difficulty: "I said..."
Feng Yan smiled and took out a pen and paper, ready to take notes.
the other side,
Wang Hao's interrogation room was in a good condition, at least there were chairs.
Sitting on the chair, Wang Hao looked at the interrogator who came in, revealing a hint of embarrassment.
"Hey, Keqing, why are you here?"
That’s right, the person coming is Keqing.
Keqing said coldly: "If I hadn't happened to be here, I wouldn't have known that you were arrested for gambling."
She has an absolute aversion to gambling.
Among Keqing's most hated attributes, laziness and cowardice occupy an absolute position.
And gamblers are undoubtedly the epitome of the two.
Because of laziness, I indulge in the dream of getting rich overnight.
Because of cowardice, he dared not face the reality and fell into gambling scams again and again.
In Keqing's eyes, gamblers are people who need to be completely "cured".
And now, Wang Hao actually went to gamble?
Keqing could hardly suppress the disappointment in her heart.
"Ahem, what is Feng Yan doing? Didn't he tell you? I'm going to crack down on the casinos."
Wang Hao didn't dare let Keqing make any more connections.
Seeing the girl's increasingly disappointed look, he quickly explained,
"I went there because I was going to clean up the casino. How could I possibly go there to gamble? Have you forgotten how we ended the gambling game two years ago?"
After hearing Wang Hao's words, Keqing felt disappointed for a moment, then she realized what was going on.
Two years ago, in order to end the influence of gambling in the academy, Wang Hao planned a dinner party and directed the gambling to charity.
Keqing participated in this matter throughout.
After hearing Wang Hao talk about this, Keqing came back to her senses: "You really didn't go there to gamble?"
In fact, she already believed in Wang Hao in her heart.
But she was so excited just now that she forgot to ask Wang Hao to explain first. She felt a little embarrassed and could only keep a straight face.
Looking at Keqing's still indifferent expression, Wang Hao smiled.
Based on Wang Hao's understanding of Keqing, he can be sure that Keqing must believe in herself in her heart now.
"Of course, I'm telling you..."
Wang Hao told Keqing what happened in the General Affairs Department's Legal Affairs Department today.
That is the story of a middle-aged woman who was forced by her gambling husband to come to Deacon Zhang for help.
After speaking,
Wang Hao sighed slightly: "Deacon Zhang is a good man, but he can't save that sister-in-law. There is no salvation for gamblers, so the best way is to attack the casino directly."
He did not mention the matter of the Hundred Taboos Talisman, but simply pushed the matter back to the story of the middle-aged woman.
There was no longer any coldness on Keqing's face, only a hint of apology and emotion.
"I…I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
She is a girl who dares to speak and act.
Although she was a little arrogant, after confirming that she was wrong, she apologized directly to me, Wang Hao.
Wang Hao smiled generously: "No need to apologize. If I see Xingqiu being caught gambling one day, I will be even angrier."
Xingqiu:?
When Wang Hao used Xingqiu as an analogy, Keqing smiled and said, "Xingqiu doesn't know how to gamble."
Wang Hao suddenly looked sad: "You believe in Xingqiu, but you don't believe in me. This is so sad."
"Hmph, you have a criminal record. Wasn't it you who planned the bet? Xingqiu was totally deceived by you." Keqing was not moved by Wang Hao's performance at all, and instead retorted.
"What kind of cheating is that? Can doing something chivalrous and righteous be called cheating?"
Wang Hao argued loudly, saying things that were difficult to understand, such as "rob the rich to help the poor" and "do good deeds", which made Keqing laugh.
