MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 3 His house was ransacked
Chapter 3: My house was ransacked
Commander Ning glanced at the tray in the little eunuch's hand, and said to the big **** expressionlessly, "I have searched twice, but found nothing."
The eunuch's sharp eyes scanned the stacked boxes inch by inch, and he said gloomily, "Since Ling Shangshu refuses to hand over the money that was stolen from Mo, then you and your family should go to the underworld to confess to King Yama."
Ling Shangshu saw the big **** taking the imperial edict from the little **** behind him, his face was as pale as a ghost.
The emperor didn't even try them, and wanted to behead them immediately?
Originally, he thought that as long as he gritted his teeth and did not hand over the money, the emperor would not be able to convict him.
Even if he goes to jail, that person will not let anything happen to him.
But if he was beheaded now, his family would have no chance of survival!
Not only Ling Shangshu was panicked, but the others were even more shaken. They couldn't believe that the emperor was going to behead their entire family.
Seeing that the **** was about to read out the imperial edict, Ling Chu could only shout "Wait a minute" in a hurry and quickly walked out from behind the crowd.
With a thud, he knelt down.
But Lingchu immediately regretted it.
I used too much force and my knees hurt.
But in front of everyone, I couldn't reach out and rub it, so I could only grit my teeth and endure it.
The **** frowned and glanced at the girl kneeling in front of him, and asked displeasedly, "Ling Shangshu, this is..."
Ling Shangshu didn't know Ling Chu's intention, so he glanced at her in confusion, then turned to the **** and said, "Eunuch Cao, this is my eldest granddaughter, Ling Chu."
Eunuch Cao, "Miss Ling, what's the matter with you?"
Ling Chu straightened his back and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "Eunuch Cao, if my daughter can find some money, can you please ask the emperor to give us a chance and let us live?"
As soon as Ling Chu said these words, the whole place was in an uproar.
Everyone in Shangshu Mansion stared at her back with annoyance. Does she know what she is talking about?
Madam Madam was angry and said urgently, "Ling Chu, stop messing around and come back quickly..."
Of course Eunuch Cao knew the importance of those three million taels of silver, and he would not let it go even if there was only a glimmer of hope.
Seeing that the lady was about to stop her, he said coldly, "If you dare to make any noise again, you will be slapped immediately."
The madam’s face turned pale, but she didn’t dare to get angry.
Eunuch Cao turned around and asked, "Miss Ling, do you know where the money is hidden?"
Ling Chu shook his head and said, "I don't know where the money is hidden, but I can use hexagrams to figure it out."
Eunuch Cao frowned, not knowing whether to believe her words or not.
After hesitating for a while, he turned to Commander Ning and said respectfully, "I wonder what Sir Ning thinks of this?"
Ning Chuyi did not answer his words. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the girl in front of him, and said softly, "If you can find the three million taels, I can agree to your request and ask the emperor to show mercy."
Lingchu breathed a sigh of relief.
It has been three or four days since she traveled through time, and I don’t know if her body in modern times has been cremated. It would be tragic if he traveled back in time after being decapitated and the body was not there.
Since there is no guarantee that she can travel back smoothly, she can only choose to save her current life.
“Don’t worry, sir, I will do my best to find the silver.”
When the third girl heard this, she asked angrily, "Sister, are you crazy? Are you planning to raid your home?"
Ling Chu turned around and took a look. If she remembered correctly, this third girl was her sister Ling Qing.
Seeing everyone looking at her with disapproval, Ling Chu frowned. How long had it been, and he still hadn't figured out the situation.
Although money is good, it also needs life flowers, right?
“Yes, I am going to have my house confiscated. My life has just begun, I am not tired of living yet, I am quite satisfied with everything in Kyoto, and I have no plans to move to the underworld for the time being.
Of course, if you are really interested in the underworld and want to live in it, I won’t stop you. "
The implication is, if you want to die, I won’t stop you, but don’t drag me down. Ling Chu ignored them, lowered his head and took out three copper coins from his bag.
He made a hexagram with a serious expression.
First he lowered his head to look at the hexagrams, then put away the copper coins and put them back into the brocade bag. He raised his feet and walked quickly towards the main hall of Yanhe Hall.
Ling Shangshu was shocked and angry at the moment, and instinctively wanted to step forward and stop Ling Chu.
But then I thought about it, this granddaughter has been raised in Xuanqing Temple since she was a child, and yesterday was the first time she returned home.
She had no way of knowing where the money was hidden.
Thinking of this, Ling Shangshu calmed down again.
Ning Chuyi glanced at Ling Shangshu with keen eyes, thought for a moment, and followed him.
Yanhe Hall is the courtyard where Ling Shangshu and his wife live. The decorations inside are not luxurious, but they are dignified and elegant.
Lingchu looked at it as he walked.
Commander Ning just watched her search quietly without making a sound to stop her.
The main hall was very spacious. Ling Chu pretended to search it quickly, shook his head, and walked out.
No silver was found in the main hall, and the guards were not surprised. After all, they had already searched twice.
Many people are suspicious and use hexagram techniques to find silver. This has never happened before. Can this Miss Ling really find it?
Just when everyone thought that Miss Ling was going to change places, she suddenly stopped in her steps, turned around and walked back.
He stopped in front of a red painted pillar, looked up and looked at it for a while, and then raised his hand to touch it. His gentle movements were like stroking some treasure.
Eunuch Cao, who followed, frowned and looked for a while, then said impatiently, "Miss Ling, we don't have time to play with you. If you know where the money is hidden, I advise you to find it out as soon as possible. Otherwise, your family may be in trouble Heads are about to fall to the ground.”
Lingchu turned to look at him, pointed at the pillar and said, "Well, haven't we found this already?"
When those Jinyi guards heard this, they suddenly had the idea that this Miss Ling was actually a fool.
Such an obvious look in his eyes. Ling Chu was not blind, so of course he could see it.
I rolled my eyes secretly, you are the fool, and your whole family is fools.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing his displeasure, Ling Chu turned to Commander Ning and said, "Master Ning, can I lend you the sword?"
Commander Ning did not give Ling Chu the sword, but just looked at her intently. Just when everyone thought he would refuse, they saw him slowly speaking, "You want to cut the pillar open?"
Lingchu nodded, "Yes."
Eunuch Cao frowned and couldn't help but said, "Master Ning, how could the silver be hidden in the pillar..."
Ning Chuyi glanced at him, stepped forward, drew out his sharp sword, and started cutting on the pillar.
A square was cut in a few strokes, and when he picked it up with the tip of his sword, the cut piece of wood fell out.
As the wooden blocks fell, something white and colorful fell out one after another.
Everyone looked down instinctively, with a look of astonishment on their faces.
The white flowers on the ground turned out to be silver ingots.
This is really a slap in the face. They thought Miss Ling was a fool, but it turned out that they themselves were.
Who would have thought that Ling Shangshu would hide the money from Tan Mo in a pillar? No wonder they, the well-informed Jin Yiwei, couldn't find it no matter how hard they looked for it.
I’m starting a new book, so I’m very nervous.
