I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory
Chapter Summary
”Lin Beifan sneered disdainfully, “A mere 10 taels of silver? After all, 500 taels of silver is already a huge sum of money for many people! Watching Lin Beifan effortlessly win 5,000 taels of silver, Chai Yuxin was extremely excited and happy, hugging Lin Beifan’s hand and exclaiming, “You’ve won money again!
“You are the guest, please, you go first!
” The dealer once again handed over the dice and the shaker.
Lin Beifan gave it a gentle shake and then asked, “Is it okay now?
Guess high or low!
”The dealer announced loudly, “It’s high!
I bet 10 taels of silver!
”Lin Beifan sneered disdainfully, “A mere 10 taels of silver?
That’s like giving alms to a beggar!
If you want to play, play big!
”With that, he threw out several gold ingots worth roughly 500 taels.
“Alright, let’s bet 500 taels of silver then!
” The dealer was very confident.
“You roll the dice yourself, so you can’t accuse me of cheating if you lose!
” Lin Beifan said.
The dealer picked up the dice cup, looked down, and his eyes bulged out: “It’s one, two, three, five, six—small!
”Lin Beifan burst into laughter: “These 500 taels of silver, I shall accept it!
”The gamblers around him exclaimed in surprise.
“Wow, to win 500 taels of silver right at the start, that’s a lucky start!
”“This old man is really lucky!
”“If I had 500 taels of silver, I’d quit the game and wash my hands clean!
”Everyone was filled with envy.
After all, 500 taels of silver is already a huge sum of money for many people!
In Great Xia, it could buy 20 cement houses.
The game started with some setbacks, but the dealer remained composed and very calm: “Honorable guest, now it’s my turn to roll the dice.
Would you like to guess high or low?
”“Go ahead!
” Lin Beifan said indifferently.
The dealer picked up the dice cup and shook it with a cool flair.
The sound of the dice colliding was very dense, buzzing like bees, making it impossible to discern anything.
Finally, with a bang, it landed on the table.
“Please place your bets, sir!
”Without any hesitation, Lin Beifan threw down 1,000 taels of silver: “I bet on low!
”A flicker of panic crossed the dealer’s eyes, but he maintained a calm demeanor and said, “Esteemed guest, are you truly certain you wish to bet on low?
If you lose, you will forfeit 1,000 taels of silver!
”“That’s right, this old man is indeed betting 1,000 taels of silver!
Go ahead, no more hesitations!
” Lin Beifan said with a smile.
“Roll the dice!
”“Roll the dice!
”Everyone started to shout along.
The dealer hesitated for a moment but eventually lifted the cover of the dice cup.
“One, one, two, three, six, small!
”After that, Lin Beifan won battle after battle.
Whether the other party rolled the dice or he did, in the end, it was Lin Beifan who won.
So, in less than half an incense stick’s time, the money he brought had already doubled.
Watching Lin Beifan effortlessly win 5,000 taels of silver, Chai Yuxin was extremely excited and happy, hugging Lin Beifan’s hand and exclaiming, “You’ve won money again!
When did you learn to gamble and become so amazing?
”Lin Beifan chuckled to himself, was there even a need to learn?
Just by opening Empire Sandbox, he could tell what the dice would be.
If he wanted to cheat, it was easy, just use the Hand of God.
Of course, he couldn’t say that.
Lin Beifan calmly explained, “This is basic stuff, no big deal!
”Chai Yuxin was confused: “What do you mean?
”Lin Beifan said arrogantly: “It means that this is a basic move, it’s nothing to me!
Don’t fall for me, I’m just that awesome!
”Chai Yuxin: “…”On the other side, the dealer was sweating profusely.
A man with a face full of scars whispered fiercely, “What’s the matter with you, weren’t you supposed to win money?
Why do you keep giving it to him?
You’ve already handed over 5000 taels of silver; we haven’t made that much money since we opened!
”“Hall master, we might have encountered a master.
He’s stronger than me!
” the dealer explained.
“I can tell.
You lost without the slightest chance to fight back!
” the man with a face full of flesh said irritably.
“So what do we do now?
” “We can only admit defeat and invite them out, then when there are fewer people around, we’ll…” A glint of ferocity flashed in his eyes.
The dealer nodded slightly; they had done this sort of thing more than a few times.
“Esteemed guests, you’ve played quite enough, isn’t it time to leave?
”Lin Beifan, while collecting his money, sneered, “What, can’t handle the game and thinking of driving people away?
”“Of course not, we simply hope you know when to stop!
You should understand the rules of the casino.
Don’t make things difficult for us!
” the man with a face full of scars said with a forced smile.
“No rush, I plan to play a little longer!
” Lin Beifan said with a smile.
“Right!
Don’t be in a hurry to leave, old man!
”“Let’s play a little longer!
”“Whatever you want to play, we’ll join you!
”Everyone spoke up one after another, eager to keep him around.
They all wanted to continue making money with Lin Beifan.
If everyone is making money, then it’s only the casino that’s losing.
Seeing that the situation couldn’t be resolved amicably, the burly man with a face full of scars steeled his heart and shouted loudly, “How dare you come to my Sifang Gambling House and cause trouble?
It seems you’re tired of living!
Attack!
”A group of fierce men armed with weapons charged in, surrounding Lin Beifan and his companions layer by layer.
Eunuch Liu stepped forward and bellowed, “His Majesty is present here; I’d like to see who dares to make a move?
”“His Majesty?
Who’s that?
”“Where is he?
”Lin Beifan tore off his disguise, revealing his true face.
Lin Beifan had a distinctive appearance, recognized by many of the common folk in the capital city, so as soon as they saw Lin Beifan’s face, they knelt down in panic.
“Long live His Majesty, may the Emperor live for ten thousand years!
”Eunuch Liu pointed at the people from the Sifang Gambling House and shouted sternly, “They dared to attempt an assassination on His Majesty, committing a grave act of disrespect!
Seize them for me!
”“Yes!
” The people behind Lin Beifan tore off their disguises, all of them highly skilled members of the Imperial Guard.
The people from the gambling house were extremely panicked, their bravado masking their fear: “We are from the Money Gang, do you dare lay a hand on us?
”“Money Gang?
It would be useless even if the King of Heaven himself came!
”Lin Beifan waved his hand: “Kill them all, leave none alive!
”“Yes, Your Majesty!
” The Imperial Guard acted without hesitation.
Moments later, everyone in the gambling den was dead, the establishment was smashed, and all the gamblers had fled.
After dealing with the gambling den, Lin Beifan, passing by the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, gave another order: “Smash that brothel for me as well!
”The crowd was somewhat baffled: “Why smash the brothel too?
It seems they haven’t offended you?
”“Because these are all things that bring great harm to people!
”Lin Beifan said with a cold face.
“People always like to risk little for the chance of great gain, dreaming of getting rich overnight, which is why they are drawn to gambling!
A small bet is fine, but if one becomes addicted over time, it leads to neglect of one’s duties and loss of reason!
In the end, it resulted in broken families and ruined lives!
”“The brothels operate on the same principle!
Being immersed in beauty for too long can ensnare a person, leading them to gradually sink into depravity!
”“There’s no buying and selling, so it might seem there’s no harm done.
But if the brothels thrive, they will cause many good people to fall into bad ways, which isn’t good for the country or its people.
”“Therefore, for the peace of Great Xia, for the everlasting foundation of Great Xia’s lands, it’s best to smash them all to pieces to prevent them from further harming the populace!
”“So it is, Your Majesty’s words are most insightful!
” The crowd nodded in agreement.
In fact, there was another important reason; these two industries were competing for his money.
He hid his wealth among the people, allowing the common folk to prosper.
However, these two industries were engaged in profit-making without any capital investment.
One used deceit and trickery to swindle, while the other simply had to spread their legs, and without paying any significant price, they easily snatched his money from the hands of his people.
If this continues, the wealth of his country will inevitably decrease.
With the decrease in wealth, the national power will weaken.
Once the national power weakens, won’t his strength be affected?
So, how could Lin Beifan spare them?
“Convey my command, from now on, no one, no power is allowed to set up casinos and brothels within the territory of Great Xia!
Those who defy the order shall be executed without mercy!
” Lin Beifan declared loudly.
“Yes, Your Majesty!
” the crowd responded, accepting the decree.
