"The root cause of the medical clinic incident is not me, but the gambling house!"

Shen Yan looked at everyone, "It was gambling that made them resort to any means and embark on a path of no return, so that in the end their family was ruined!"

"In yesterday's case, Ren Shiyu's family used to be considered well-off, but her brother lost all of her family's property in gambling. In the end, her mother planned to sell her in order to pay off her brother's gambling debt. This led her step by step to the path of murder and crime."

"Zhong Fufa lost his wife and children because of gambling, so his father had to exchange his life for money to pay off his gambling debts. He happily accepted it. This is simply a loss of morality!"

Shen Yan's words were fierce and her tone was passionate and angry. She glanced at the courtiers present and her voice continued to sound.

"I believe that some of you here must have people in your family who are addicted to gambling. Ask yourself, haven't there been countless disputes in your family over gambling?"

"Of course you may not see the serious consequences yet, because your family is well off and can withstand the prodigal squandering. However, no matter how much money you have, you will lose it one day."

"At that time, if your relatives owe others gambling debts, and others want the lives of your relatives, you must pay off the gambling debts for the sake of your relatives. What will you do if you don't have enough money? Accept bribes? Or be greedy? Or plunder the people's wealth?"

When Shen Yan's voice fell, the entire Qiankun Palace was silent, and many courtiers even lowered their heads.

Yan Chonghou and the others, who had made the loudest noise just now, did not dare to look directly at Shen Yan.

Emperor Xuande looked at Shen Yan. As a woman, she was standing in the court, fighting with the Confucian scholars.

At this moment, she was like a ray of light, shining brightly, making the Qiankun Palace resplendent.

Emperor Xuande was very pleased with his appearance. This was the minister he wanted.

"Okay! Okay! Okay!" Emperor Xuande broke the silence and asked, "Mr. Shen, how do you think this harmful gambling house should be dealt with?"

"I think we should check it directly!" Shen Yan said.

"No, Your Majesty..."

"emperor……"

"useless……"

"Okay!" Emperor Xuande interrupted the courtier directly, "Just do what Mr. Shen wants!"

"My daughter obeys the decree!" Shen Yan accepted the decree with cupped hands.

Suddenly, the palace exploded, and many ministers looked panicked.

The imperial court has laws that clearly stipulate that gambling by the people is punishable by [-] sticks and a fine of [-] coins. If an official gambles, he will be dismissed from office and fined ten times as much as the gambling amount. If the prince gambles, he will be punished by fifty.

However, under such conditions where gambling is explicitly prohibited, there are still countless gambling houses in the capital.

It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no support behind these gambling houses.

Maybe some courtiers in the court are the masters behind these gambling houses.

Of course Emperor Xuande knew about this situation, but he could not investigate thoroughly.

Just like now, Shen Yan only said that he was raiding gambling houses, but did not say that he wanted to thoroughly investigate the gambling houses.

There are many implications behind this. Officials in the DPRK and China hold important positions. Removing too many officials in a short period of time will cause instability in the court.

If the imperial court is uneasy and foreign enemies invade, the Qin Kingdom will be in danger.

Eliminating the moths in the imperial court was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Emperor Xuande and Shen Yan both understood this.

"Mr. Shen, take the imperial gold medal and leave the palace. Go to the Zhennan Palace and the Protector's Palace to mobilize troops to carry out the mission. The sooner the better, so as to catch them off guard!" Emperor Xuande did not hesitate.

The courtiers looked at each other in confusion. No wonder everyone said that Xie Huaijing was a playboy, but Emperor Xuande still protected him.

It is understandable that Emperor Xuande trusted the Duke Protector's Mansion. After all, the Duke Protector and his two sons sacrificed their lives for the country.

But why does he trust Xie Huaijing so much?

None of these people knew that although Xie Huaijing was a playboy, he had never been involved in gambling, and he had never done anything that violated the law.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Shen Yan accepted the order and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty, I suddenly have a severe headache. Please allow me to retire." Ning Zhengxun cupped his hands and said.

Yan Chonghou followed suit and said, "Your Majesty, I am feeling flustered, chest tight, and really uncomfortable. Please allow me to retire."

……

Emperor Xuande looked at the courtiers silently. He wanted to see how many people wanted to take the opportunity to go out and report the news.

He waited until everyone finished speaking before he spoke, "Here comes Dr. Xuan!"

He looked at everyone with a smile, "If you feel unwell, you should see a doctor. There is no use in going back to rest. Please be patient and wait with me for Mr. Shen."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that there was no chance to report the news, the courtiers had no choice but to accept their fate.

Today they came to punish Shen Yan, but they didn't expect that they would be punished by Shen Yan instead.

Everyone raised their sleeves to wipe sweat, with panicked expressions on their faces.

Zhennan Palace is relatively close to the palace, and Shen Yan came here first.

She met Xie Huaijing at the door.

"Ayan, why are you here?" Xie Huaijing looked tired, but he still showed a happy smile when he saw Shen Yan.

"The Emperor has an order." Shen Yan's eyes were full of heartache, "You just came back from a mission?"

Xie Huaijing nodded. He had been out for several days and knew nothing about what had happened in the capital these days.

"But you have to continue to work hard." Shen Yan said.

Seeing Shen Yan's serious expression, Xie Huaijing also became serious, "Is something wrong?"

"You take the order first. I will explain the details to you later." Shen Yan took out the gold medal and said, "Thank Huaijing for listening to the order."

"The minister is here."

"I order you to mobilize two thousand elite soldiers to cooperate with Shen Yan in inspecting the gambling house."

"Yes, I obey the order."

Shen Yan put away the gold medal, "Today we are going to inspect all the gambling houses in the capital. I will go to the Duke Protector's Mansion later. You need to mobilize your troops first, and we will meet at the largest gambling house."

"Okay, you have to be careful." Xie Huaijing gently shook Shen Yan's hand and warned softly.

The two said goodbye, and Shen Yan went to the Duke Protector's Mansion.

Half an hour later, Shen Yan, Xie Huaijing, and Yan Qing stood side by side at the gate of Sifang Jucai Gambling House.

Shen Yan reached out and pointed inward, "Surround all the exits and don't let anyone inside! All gambling funds will be confiscated!"

"action!"

Following Shen Yan's order, everyone immediately performed their duties according to the previously planned plan.

Shen Yan and Xie Huaijing rushed inside, while Yan Qing stood guard at the gate.

They were outnumbered and the gambling house was unprepared. In less than half an hour, they captured hundreds of gamblers and confiscated hundreds of thousands of gambling funds.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, they made a quick decision and the three of them acted separately.

Four hours later, they had raided all the gambling houses in the capital.

At this time, it was still dark and people were coming and going on the street.

Shen Yan and the others were riding horses, followed by more than a dozen carriages, each carriage filled with gambling money.

Their team was huge, and the informed people who were watching applauded, and the imperial court finally took action against the gambling house.

The gambling money in these carriages is the hard-earned money of countless families, and it has destroyed many originally happy families.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Shen is here." Eunuch Chen had been waiting outside for news. When he saw Shen Yan coming with someone, he immediately came in to report the news.

"Please come quickly!" Emperor Xuande was overjoyed.

"I have met the emperor." Shen Yan, Xie Huaijing, and Yan Qing saluted Emperor Xuande.

"Thank you for your hard work." Emperor Xuande said, "How is the inspection going?"

"The emperor will know after taking a look." Shen Yan faced the courtiers and said, "Please stand aside and make room."

Seeing that there was room in the palace, Shen Yan looked outside and said, "Bring your gambling money in!"

As gambling money piled up, the smile on Emperor Xuande's face disappeared little by little, and finally turned into ice!
