Chapter 344: The Evidence of the Crime Is Conclusive
Ning Chuyi squatted down and picked up a piece of silver to look at.
The silver ingot is engraved with the words "Bao Feng Long Casting".
And Baofenglong is one of the three major money banks in Beijing.
It seems that this silver is not official silver, but city silver.
Wei Feng was also looking at it with a silver ingot, and when he saw the money number on it, he couldn't help frowning, "How are these city silver?" Could it be that the silver was not obtained by Teng Chong's corruption, but by bribery? ”
Ning Chuyi shook his head, "This is Guanyin." ”
Wei Feng was stunned for a moment, and then looked carefully, but found that this silver ingot contained gold.
This color looks very similar to the ingots given by the emperor to the Ningguo Mansion.
Wei Feng suddenly realized, "My lord, is this gold and silver?" ”
Ning Chuyi nodded.
There are regulations in the imperial court that gold and silver cannot be circulated in the market. After this silver was minted, it could only be paid to the treasury. The emperor will use it to give monthly salaries to officials, or as a reward.
These silver ingots in the mezzanine of Teng Chong's study are all five taels or ten taels.
It is engraved with "Baofeng Long Casting".
Wei Feng shook his head, "This Teng Chong's courage is really not ordinary, he is in charge of the silver bureau of the imperial court, and he dares to embezzle so much silver." Could it be that he thought that if he found a money bank, he would melt the greedy silver and make it into a silver ingot, so that others would not recognize it. ”
Ning Chuyi didn't speak.
Teng Chong has been able to sit firmly in the position of the left waiter of the household department for so many years, so he is naturally not a stupid person.
It's not that he doesn't know that even if the gold and silver are melted into other forms, they won't be recognizable.
But even if you know it, people's greed can't be curbed together.
Teng Chong is in charge of the silver game, and those gold and silver are a huge temptation.
As long as the stakes are large enough, it's worth the risk.
Moreover, corrupt people often have a fluke mentality, believing that they are lucky enough to do something that will not be exposed.
In addition to the largest wall, silver ingots are hidden, and gold bricks are hidden in the mezzanine of the other two walls.
All of them were smashed out by Ling Chu with a small hammer.
Ning Chuyi asked people to start counting, registering, and finally sealing the box.
The gold and silver copied out of the study amounted to about three hundred and eighty thousand taels.
plus what was copied before, there are already 710,000 taels.
With so many copies on the first day, Wei Feng and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Bing squinted and watched silently, no one knew what was going on in his heart.
Everyone's hearts are excited.
Seeing that it was not yet dark, he hurried up to continue the search.
Unfortunately, every wall was knocked on, but nothing was found.
Wu Bing, who had been supervising beside him with a calm face, suddenly said, "Pry open all the green bricks on the ground and search." ”
Wei Feng frowned, and said one after another, "My lord, we have checked all the floor tiles, and there is no abnormality." ”
"With such a thick brick, just by knocking, you can't be sure that there is no silver hidden underneath. It must be pried open to ensure that no fish slip through the net. ”
Everyone's faces were stiff.
The Shilang Mansion is so big, if you pry open every green brick and dig it down, three days will not be enough time.
Ning Chuyi looked at Ling Chu.
Wei Feng couldn't wait to ask, "Ling Xiaoqi, can you do the math, is there any silver hidden under this floor tiles?" ”
There is a system, Ling Chu doesn't need to count it at all, and he knows whether there is one.
But she knew that she just forgot the hexagram, and Wu Bing wouldn't believe it.
Just summon a small hammer and smash all the floor tiles, and then let the shovel dig up the soil underneath.
Fortunately, Ning Chuyi had let the system absorb so many jade pendants and jade stones before, otherwise Ling Chu would not have been able to let the big shovel and the small hammer help.
After a stick of incense, all the floor tiles of Shilang's Mansion were dug up beyond recognition.
I didn't dig up half a penny.
Wu Bing didn't speak, but his eyes became more and more solemn when he looked at Ling Chu.
He didn't expect that this daughter of King Dingyuan would be so capable.
Ling Chu knew that Wu Bing was wary of her in his heart.
Although she wanted to keep a low profile, in order to help Ning Chuyi reinstate, some things could not be avoided.
Ning Chuyi helped her so much, she couldn't be obviously capable, but she hid it and watched him being suppressed by others.
If so, she will have a hard conscience.
Ning Chuyi looked up at the sky and saw that there was still time, so he ordered, "Move the ladder and Chawadang." ”
At the very front of the eaves there are cylindrical tiles called tiles.
Some craftsmen will carve Rui beasts, auspicious clouds, or paint auspicious characters such as Fulu and Suki on the tile.
Some people would melt the silver and hide it in a tile, so that even if the thieves knew about it, they would not be able to steal it. For to steal the silver, it is necessary to tear down the tiles.
As soon as this thing is dismantled, the movement cannot be hidden from others at all.
Ling Chu glanced at Ning Chuyi and swallowed back the words on his lips.
She wanted to say that the eaves would be demolished just now, but she didn't expect Ning Chuyi to say it first.
Ling Chu summoned the little hammer out.
When Wei Feng saw it, he immediately smiled, "Ling Xiaoqi, it's really right for you to come to our Jinyi Wei." With you, we don't have to do anything. ”
Ling Chu smiled back at him and said modestly, "It should be, it should be." ”
It's humble, but it's also true.
If it weren't for Ning Chuyi's jade, her system would have run out of energy and unbound her.
Now for Ning Chuyi, even if the big shovel and the small hammer have to consume some energy, they should be.
Yin Xu glanced at Ning Chuyi, and when he saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, he knew that he was dissatisfied with Wei Feng's words.
They are the brocade guards, and it is their duty to raid the house, but they can't rely on Miss Ling for everything.
Ling Chu waved his hand and let the small hammer smash into a round tile.
Yin Sha also worked lightly, flew up to the roof, raised his foot and kicked at another tile carved with auspicious clouds.
The tile fell to the ground and fell to pieces.
The silver that fell out made a "ding-dong" sound.
Originally, Wei Feng was waiting for Ling Chu to smash the tile down with a small hammer, but when he saw that Yin Xu had made a move, he had no intention of standing idly by.
So he also took the brocade guard to the roof.
There are many people who are easy to do, and these brocade guards have martial arts, and they are not slow to dismantle.
For a while, the sound of crackling in the Shilang's mansion rang out.
Teng Chong's father, wife, concubine and children were locked in the hall, and when they saw this scene through the crack in the window, they couldn't care about the distressed money, so they could only pray that God could let them escape and not be cut off by the emperor.
After more than a quarter of an hour, everyone finally dismantled all the tiles of Shilang's Mansion, and after counting, about 20,000 taels were removed.
And from the beams of the houses in the courtyards, he found many boxes of silver, and copied out more than 19,000 taels of silver and treasure money.
Although it is not much, it is one step closer to one million and seventy thousand taels.
Jinyiwei has the rule of not raiding the house at dusk, in order to prevent someone from fishing in troubled waters at night.
Before dark, Ning Chuyi asked everyone to register all the things copied out, put them in the box, and put them with seals.
The first day of the house is completed.
A team of brocade guards was arranged to guard the Lang Mansion.
Ning Chuyi personally led people to transport the copied things into the palace.
copied out the gold and silver, Teng Chong's corruption charge is conclusive. All his family members will be taken to prison to await questioning.
Although they were tired and hungry after a busy day, everyone was still very happy at the thought of being able to slaughter Wu Bing.
Ling Chu didn't go to the cyclamen with everyone, and when she left the Shilang Mansion, she saw King Dingyuan waiting for her outside the gate.
Finally finished the second shift before 12 o'clock.
