Chapter 116: Seal the Wangchuan Gambling Hall

"You say you are who?!"

"Ming... Zhu... Chen... Chen Yan?!"

At that moment, Shen Jian, who had still been harboring luck, suddenly had the sky collapse, as if he had seen a ghost; his voice became trembling, and he could no longer speak fluently.

He instantly connected this name with those various deeds; this face, close at hand, became extremely terrifying...

The notorious demon star had actually disguised himself and come to Wangchuan Gambling Hall; what exactly he had come to do, thinking about it was terrifying...

"Chen Yan?"

"Who is this?"

Among the onlookers in the distance, a man in a green robe listened to the unfamiliar yet familiar name, especially noticing Shen Jian's change, and asked suspiciously, "Why did Boss Shen's face suddenly become so pale, as if he had run into a ghost?"

Who Shen Jian was, the regular customers of Wangchuan Gambling Hall all knew clearly...

He was a famous bully in Chang'an City.

Actually scared like this by a name?

"Don't even know Lord Chen Yan?"

Ma Qingan was startled when he heard this, looked at the man in disbelief, and asked back, "How do you mix in Chang'an?"

He Shouye was amused and immediately took over the conversation, continuing, "The Great Zhou Poetry Immortal who drank and fought Wang and Xie, and became famous all over the world with poetry, haven't you heard of him?"

The man in the green robe gasped, as if thinking of something, and said in surprise, "You don't mean the Lord Chen Yan who quelled the chaos in Qinzhou some time ago, broke 30,000 with 2,000, and annihilated 50,000 rebels, winning battle after battle?!"

By the end, his voice was trembling.

No wonder he said this name, he always felt it was so familiar...

How many people in Chang'an didn't know this fierce man's battle record?

"Besides this civil and military all-rounder, who else could it be?"

Wang Shunchang laughed, asked back, and sighed, "Didn't expect that today in this gambling hall, I could see this young talent of our Great Zhou from such a close distance!"

As he spoke, his head moved slightly, casting an admiring gaze toward the direction where Chen Yan was.

"Doesn't that mean Wangchuan Gambling Hall kicked an iron plate this time?"

A blind student among the gambling onlookers discovered the point.

"Isn't that nonsense!"

Ma Qingan curled his lips, smiled contemptuously, and made a judgment: "Lord Chen Yan is the Mirror Keeper of the Mingjing Si; Wangchuan Gambling Hall actually dared to use force and play rogue against him; this matter absolutely won't end well!"

If it were ordinary commoners like them, they would really be manipulated at will and finally swallow their anger...

But coincidentally, the one they provoked was the Great Zhou Poetry Immortal who blossomed in both civil and military, the God of War of Pacification, and the Grand Chancellor's number one favorite minister!

It would be a ghost if he could swallow this breath!

While they were discussing, Chen Yan lowered his eyes to meet Shen Jian's gaze and laughed, "Exactly as advertised, it is indeed Chen!"

"My Lord, spare my life... spare my life!"

"It was the little one who didn't recognize Mount Tai and offended you, My Lord!"

Shen Jian shivered, panicked instantly, and begged.

He looked just like someone who had been scared out of his wits.

Because he was the head of the guards at Wangchuan Gambling Hall, he knew Chen Yan's deeds even better than the ordinary people watching...

The four words "ruthless and vicious" were not enough to describe this person...

"I still prefer your unruly appearance just now!"

Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, smiled harmlessly, and said, "Trouble to restore it!"

He paused and imitated, "In Chang'an City, the rules of my Wangchuan Gambling Hall are the rules!"

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

After saying that, he smacked his lips again.

Arrogant before and humble after, thinking of it makes one laugh!

A clown is a clown.

Just as Shen Jian was at a loss, Steward Lin, who had been sitting securely on the fishing platform, pushed through the crowd and hurried over, "Lord Chen Yan, please calm your anger!"

"This is truly the water rushing into the Dragon King Temple; one family doesn't recognize another; it's all a misunderstanding!"

It was just that as soon as he was about to get close, he was blocked by the Embroidered Attire Envoys.

"Yes!"

"It's all a misunderstanding!"

Shen Jian heard this, as if grabbing a life-saving straw, and quickly echoed, "The little one is at fault!"

"The steward is really good at talking nonsense!"

Chen Yan's mouth curled into an arc, playfully, "But you forgot, there are quite a few witnesses here who witnessed the whole process!"

He paused, cupped his hands toward the surrounding gamblers, and asked with a smile, "Brothers, is there anyone willing to speak up for justice?"

As soon as the words fell, Wang Shunchang walked out and said loudly, "Bullying ordinary people is one thing, but actually bullying the hero of our Great Zhou..."

"I, Wang Shunchang, must stand up and say a few fair words!"

"Your Wangchuan Gambling Hall first tried to renege on the debt, the 1.5 million taels Lord Chen Yan won..."

"Then you indulged evil slaves to commit violence, putting a sword on the Lord's neck; your intentions are sinister!"

Wang Shunchang spat and accused desperately.

"That's right!"

"We all saw it!"

"Under the eyes of everyone, do you still want to deny it?"

"Your Wangchuan Gambling Hall relies on having a background; can you cover the sky with one hand?"

"The Mingjing Si isn't eating for free either!"

He Shouye, Ma Qingan, and others stood up one after another.

Because the public was indignant, and Chen Yan's reputation was too good, more and more gamblers stood up to help criticize.

"See?"

Chen Yan smiled indifferently and raised his hand slightly toward the people behind him, "These are all my witnesses!"

Steward Lin twitched his mouth, leaned close to Chen Yan, lowered his voice, and negotiated, "My Lord, can you look at the face of the Old Pillar of State, be magnanimous, and raise your hand high?"

"There will definitely be a generous gift sent to your door later!"

Steward Lin was also bitter in his heart!

He really didn't know why this idiot Shen Jian didn't have the brains to use force.

Couldn't he have first tricked the person into a secret room, controlled the influence, and then dealt with it?

How did it get to the point of being unable to get off the tiger?

"No!" Chen Yan smiled and slowly spat out two words.

He paused, looked at You Xian, and ordered, "Seal the Wangchuan Gambling Hall!"

"Take all the personnel back to the Mingjing Si... for trial!"

Generous gift?

What kind of generous gift could be as generous as Wangchuan Gambling Hall?

Chen Yan had a big appetite; he wanted everything!

You Xian moved in response, led a group of "plainclothes," followed the instructions to start sealing Wangchuan Gambling Hall, and controlled the scene to stop those witnesses.

Li Tan saw that everything was settled, leaned over with a smile, and said, "Big Brother, you really have a set of tricks!"

"When did you arrange for the Embroidered Attire Envoys to act?"

"Guess?" Chen Yan raised his eyebrows and asked back.

Mingjing Si.

Zhuque Hall.

Interrogation room.

Chen Yan played with a branding iron, looked at Steward Lin and others tied to the torture rack, and smiled extremely warmly: "Come, a few of you, say something this Mirror Keeper wants to hear..." ===== CHAPTER 117 =====

"There will surely be a generous gift delivered to your door later!"

Steward Lin was bitter inside, too!

He truly didn't know how that idiot Shen Jian could be so brainless as to resort to force.

Couldn't he have lured the person into a dark room, controlled the situation, and then dealt with them?

How did it come to this current predicament of being unable to get off the tiger's back?

"No," Chen Yan smiled, slowly spitting out the two words.

He paused, looked at You Xian, and ordered, "Seal the Wangchuan Gambling Hall!"

"Take all the personnel back to the Mingjing Si... to await trial!"

A generous gift?

What kind of generous gift could be as generous as the Wangchuan Gambling Hall itself?

Chen Yan had a huge appetite; he wanted everything!

You Xian acted upon the order, leading a group of "plainclothes" agents to seal the Wangchuan Gambling Hall as instructed, while controlling the scene to block the witnesses.

Seeing that the dust had settled, Li Tan leaned in with a smile and said, "Big Brother, you really have a plan for everything!"

"When did you arrange for the Embroidered Attire Envoys to play their parts?"

"Guess?" Chen Yan raised an eyebrow and countered.

Mingjing Si.

Zhuque Hall.

Interrogation Room.

Chen Yan toyed with a branding iron, looked at Steward Lin and the others bound to the interrogation rack, and smiled extremely warmly: "Come now, gentlemen, tell me something this Mirror Master wants to hear..."
