Chapter 17: Tricked
Wu Yuanji nodded, "Yes, these contracts were all kept by Li Lingmu and threatened to keep them for him." ”
Li Lingmu's yin soul was so angry that he vomited blood, and these contracts were obviously stolen by him. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't get it to the yamen to change it into his own, where would he keep it?
King Jing Shizi couldn't help but say, "Lord Wu, why didn't you hand over these things to Jinyiwei when Li Lingmu had an accident?" ”
Handed over to Jinyiwei, how is that possible.
These things, but he had been planning for a long time to obtain, how could he possibly hand them over.
But his face was apprehensive, and he said, "The lower official is timid and afraid, and he is worried that after handing it over, he will be misunderstood by Jinyiwei, so he didn't dare to hand it over." ”
Wu Yuanji was heartbroken, although the contract was not his, but the contract was in his hands. As long as he told the guys in Zhuangtou and the shop that it was given to him by Li Lingmu, even if others were suspicious, they couldn't do anything to him.
Those grange shops bring him a lot of income every year.
In order to win the trust of Lord Ning and not be arrested in prison, he could only endure the heartache and hand it over.
Ling Chu suddenly sighed, "Hey, I've been busy all day today, and I'm tired and hungry." I'm a girl's family, so forget it. However, those brocade guards are tired all day, so they can't work in vain, right? Wu Yuanwai, look at ......"
The words were not finished, but Wu Yuanji understood the meaning.
This is a benefit fee.
Ning Chuyi and King Jing Shizi also understood Ling Chu's words, and frowned, they were not the kind of people who would accept bribes.
Ling Chu saw that they wanted to speak, and he hurriedly glanced at them.
Wu Yuanji's face was ugly, there were so many brocade guards, how much benefit money did he have to give.
But it's a matter of life, and he can't help it.
Forget it, I can only comfort myself, stay in the green mountains, and I am not afraid of running out of firewood.
As long as he escapes this catastrophe, he will definitely find a way to double it in the future.
Wu Yuanji endured the heartache and said with a smile, "Everyone has worked hard, housekeeper, why don't you go and get some tea for the adults." ”
The housekeeper only agreed, but he was complaining in his heart.
There is no longer half a copper plate in the house, where will he get the money?
There's only one last place.
And he went and brought money to these brocade guards, and they ...... I don't think it's going to follow, right?
The housekeeper had no bottom in his heart, but he could only bite the bullet and walk towards the courtyard.
Seeing that those brocade guards did not follow him, the housekeeper was relieved, turned left and right, and walked into a rockery.
Ling Chu immediately turned his head to those brocade-clothed guards and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up?" ”
Those brocade guards looked dazed, what did Miss Ling let them do?
Ning Chuyi glanced at it with disgust, why didn't he find out that these brocade guards under him were so stupid?
King Jing also understood, and raised his leg and kicked the Jinyi guard next to him, "Are you stupid, of course you are stealing silver." The housekeeper has shown you the way, why are you still standing stupidly? ”
Those brocade guards suddenly realized, turned around and hurried in the direction of the butler.
Wu Yuanji was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and glared at Ling Chu with a fierce face, "You dare to lie to me?" ”
Ling Chu almost rolled his eyes at him, "Lord Wu, your words are also deceiving a three-year-old child, and we are not Li Lingmu's fools." ”
The ghost of Li Lingmu next to him looked ashamed, he was indeed stupid, he was very stupid about Wu Yuanji's white-eyed wolf, and he didn't notice his wolf ambition at all.
Wu Yuanji couldn't wait to slap himself a few times, in vain he has always boasted of being smart, but he didn't expect to be tricked by a little girl.
The housekeeper's face turned white when he saw the brocade guards who were pouring into the cave like wolves.
He wanted to stop it, but how could he defeat those brocade guards.
The last 500,000 taels of silver hidden in the cave were dug out of the soil by those brocade guards.
Wu Yuanji was so hateful that his heart was dripping with blood, and he could only beg with the envoy to command Ning, "Lord Ning, these are all handed over by Li Lingmu to the lower officials. My lord, the lower official is wrong, the lower official should not be timid and afraid, and he didn't hand over everything. I beg my lord, raise up your noble hand......"
Wu Yuanji's son plucked up the courage to plead, "Yes, my lord, my father is an honest official, and he is not greedy for ink and silver......"
Wu Yuanji's concubine felt that the sky was about to fall, "My lord, please, don't arrest us and take us to prison, my husband is innocent, it was Li Ling who harmed us......"
"Lord Ning, the lower official is wrong, the lower official should not be threatened by Li Lingmu and hide these ill-gotten gains for him......"
Ling Chu almost laughed angrily, until now, this Wu Yuanji is still going to splash dirty water on the dead man.
Did he think that Li Lingmu was dead, no one knew the truth, and what he said was what he said?
Ling Chu took out a bottle of cow tears from the system mall from his sleeve pocket, and quickly sprinkled a drop on his face while Wu Yuanji was unprepared.
He said with a smile, "Wu Yuanwai, since you said that those things were handed over to you by Li Lingmu, come, you can confront everyone and see who lied." ”
Wu Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and then became furious, what the hell is this girl doing.
However, before he could get angry, he suddenly found that the scene in front of him seemed to be a little gloomy.
Just as he was in shock, a familiar puppet face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Wu Yuanji looked at it and found that it was Li Lingmu, who had been dead for many years.
Li Lingmu's ghost clicked his hands a few times, straightened his head tilted to the side, stared at him gloomily with bloody eyes, and floated towards him with his feet off the ground.
"Wu Yuanji, you wolf-hearted thing, I treat you as a brother and cultivate you with my heart, but you framed me for rebellion and killed my whole family. You deserve to die, you will give my wife and children their lives......"
Wu Yuanji didn't expect to see Li Lingmu's ghost, and his legs trembled with fright.
Instinctively, he raised his hand to touch the protective jade pendant in his arms, but found that the jade pendant had been smashed at some point, and his face turned pale with fright.
Li ...... Master Li, you ...... Don't come here, I, I didn't mean to kill your whole family. I thought you would be demoted at most, I didn't know your whole family would be beheaded.
Lord Li, I was wrong, I shouldn't have coveted your military power and sought your family's property, I was wrong, please let me go......"
Ling Chu originally thought that Wu Yuanji was not afraid of ghosts, but who knew that he was looking up to him, he was just relying on a talisman jade pendant before, and the puppet soul couldn't get close to him, so he was helpless.
Now that there is nothing to protect himself, Wu Yuanji was so frightened that he turned around and wanted to escape, but found that no matter where he rushed, Li Lingmu's puppet soul could be one step ahead of him and block his way.
Li Lingmu found that he had no protective things, and he couldn't hold back the hatred in his heart, rushed forward, and grabbed his neck.
The others couldn't see Li Lingmu's ghost, they only saw Wu Yuanji first begging for mercy in the air where no one was around, and then fled in all directions in horror, and now his feet were in the air, as if he had been grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air.
When those brocade guards saw the familiar scene in front of them, although they still felt weird, they were calmer than the previous one.
As for Wu Yuanji's family, they had long been so frightened that their faces turned pale, shrunk in the corner and shivered, and no one dared to come forward to rescue him.
