MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 2 System alert
Chapter 2 System Alert
No one expected that the second lady would suddenly make a fuss, and the whole scene fell silent.
The second lady fell so hard that she couldn't get up for a long time.
“Mom, are you okay?”
The second young master, Ling Luo, was so worried that he took advantage of the Jin Yiwei guard who was holding him to not pay attention. He used his strength to break free from the big hand that was restraining him, and hurriedly ran towards the second lady.
The second girl was weak and could not break free. In anger, she yelled and cursed at Ling Chu, "Sister, my mother is an elder after all, how could you cause her to fall? They say that you punish the six relatives. I don't believe it at first, but you just returned home today, we The whole family will be in bad luck soon. Why don't you stay in Xuanqing Temple and come back to harm others..."
Hearing what the Second Madam and Ling Luo said, everyone looked at Ling Chu with indifference, disgust, and fear...but they just didn't care.
The eldest lady, who was protecting the third girl Ling Qing tightly, paused when she heard this.
He turned around and looked at the eldest daughter with a worried look on his face.
However, no one noticed that something seemed to flash in her eyes.
Ling Chu raised his eyes and glanced calmly at Mr. Dong who was protecting the third girl and the eldest man who was supporting his wife. She didn't have the slightest ripple in her heart towards these parents.
He turned around and glanced at the second girl coldly, and said in a cold voice, "It was not me who caused your mother to fall. She asked for it. As for the house raid, it has nothing to do with me. This is my first time today. When you return home, don’t try to put the blame on me. If you don’t welcome me back, then I’ll just leave.”
Seeing Ling Chu turn around and leave, the second girl was very angry and said, "You are a disaster star. You have caused such misfortune to our whole family. If you still want to leave, don't even think about it."
Lingchu stopped.
But it was not because the second girl refused to let her go.
It was the commander of the Imperial Guards with a stern look on his face who happened to block her way.
Ling Chu raised his eyes and glanced at him. Seeing that he was silent, he was about to walk around him and walk out.
Unexpectedly, Commander Ning took the initiative to get out of the way.
Lingchu was surprised, but when he looked up, he found that the courtyard outside was surrounded by guards wearing embroidered spring knives.
Ling Chu twitched the corner of her mouth. She knew very well that the commander did not mean to let her leave. The reason why he was kind enough to get out of the way was because he knew that she could not leave the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.
Lingchu couldn't help but raise her head and glare at him, but she couldn't blame this savior, so she could only walk out without saying a word.
When Ning Chuyi saw Ling Chu, she had already discovered that she was the girl he saved on the way back to Beijing.
I just didn’t expect that she turned out to be the granddaughter of the Minister of Hubu.
But even if he knew it now, he didn't take it to heart.
The second lady finally got up and raised her feet, wanting to step forward to cause trouble for Ling Chu.
But Commander Ning coldly ordered his subordinates to **** everyone outside.
Even though they don’t want to, the people in Shangshu Mansion are no match for these Jin Yiwei who are highly skilled in martial arts.
Under the pushing and pushing, these pampered people all described themselves as embarrassed.
Especially when they saw Ling Chu standing aside as if nothing had happened, everyone stared at her with even more anger.
Ling Shangshu was forced to be escorted to the courtyard, and he said to Commander Ning with an angry look on his face, "Master Ning, you are so insulting to me, I will definitely go to the emperor to give you a copy..."
Ning Chuyi didn't take his threat seriously and coldly ordered his subordinates, "Search the whole government and be sure to find the silver."
The imperial guards received the order and immediately rushed into the house.
Seeing this, everyone was anxious and angry, and instinctively wanted to rush forward to stop the Jin Yiwei from searching.
But those Jin Yiwei who were left behind to take care of the situation pulled out their embroidered spring knives with a swish sound.
Seeing the murderous looks on the faces of the imperial guards, everyone was timid and did not dare to cause trouble again.
She didn't have the guts to get angry at Jin Yiwei, but the second lady turned around and wanted to vent her anger at Ling Chu.
But just when she spoke, the Jin Yiwei next to her said coldly, "Whoever dares to make trouble again, don't blame me for not having an eye on the knife in my hand."
The second lady choked and could only stop reluctantly. Lingchu glanced at her casually and didn't bother to talk to her.
He sighed in his heart. The original owner had lived in Xuanqing Temple since he was a child and had never seen these relatives, let alone understood them.
As for her, let alone that.
After crossing over, I was on the road for the first two days and only returned to Shangshu Mansion last night.
So, like the original owner, she didn’t know any of these relatives.
She couldn't tell whether her grandfather had really embezzled three million taels.
However, since Commander Ning has provided evidence, whether this matter is true or not, I am afraid that the whole government will be in trouble.
Although Ling Chu was worried, he had nothing to do.
Time passed in agony of waiting, and Jin Yiwei brought many boxes and cages one after another.
However, apart from precious collections of paintings, calligraphy, porcelain and other items, only 50,000 taels of silver were found in those boxes.
Commander Ning glanced at the boxes expressionlessly and said coldly, "Ling Shangshu, I advise you to hand over the money as soon as possible, otherwise Ning will not mind demolishing your mansion."
Ling Shangshu was originally worried, but seeing the boxes brought over by the Jinyi guards, the uneasiness in his heart had long since dissipated.
"You have already searched, and I only have three to forty thousand taels of silver in my house. Where did I get the millions? I have been an official for many years. Although I am not a clean-blooded person, I am by no means a corrupt person."
Seeing that Ling Shangshu still had the same attitude, Commander Ning could only order another search throughout the government.
But those royal guards almost turned the entire Shangshu Mansion upside down. Except for the little silver and collections in the palace, they only found the dowries of a few ladies.
As for the three million taels, they are still missing.
Ling Shangshu put his worries back in his mind and was already thinking about how to read a copy of Commander Ning in front of the emperor.
"Master Ning, have you found the silver?" At this moment, a big **** holding a whisk in his hand was walking quickly, followed by two little eunuchs.
Just when Ling Chu saw these three eunuchs, the system that had been missing since the time travel suddenly appeared, warning frantically in his mind.
【Ding! The system upgrade is completed. 】
【Warning host! Warn the host! Warn the host! ! 】
【Level 1 danger detected, please host to deal with it immediately! 】
Lingchu's face changed, and he quickly brought up the virtual screen with his consciousness, and then quickly clicked to open the warning message he received.
The information is not long, only a few lines of bold and enlarged red fonts, but it is as shocking as blood.
【Name: Lingchu】
【Remaining life span: one hour】
【Cause of death: Grandfather embezzled huge sums of money and beheaded everyone in his family! 】
【Trigger the house raiding task. 】
【Ask the host to complete the task, find out the greedy money, and reverse the fate. 】
【The mission failed, the host was beheaded, and the system will be automatically deactivated. 】
According to the system scan, the thing in the little eunuch’s hand was the emperor’s beheading decree.
Lingchu hesitated in his heart.
She wanted to follow the system's warnings, complete the task, and save her life.
Or take the opportunity to die and see if you can take the opportunity to travel back to modern times?
