Chapter 346: The Suspicious Prince
Ling Chu was a little reluctant to give up, and opened the system with a hint of luck.
It turned out that neither the dry well nor the stables had half a penny left.
The people behind the scenes not only killed the remaining brocade guards, but also dug up all the Tibetan silver.
"Was there any silver buried here?"
Ling Chu was feeling remorseful when he suddenly heard Ning Chuyi's voice behind him.
"I should have reminded you yesterday that if you had strengthened your defense, this would not have happened."
Ning Chuyi learned that the Jinyi guards who stayed behind had been killed, and after hurrying over, he saw that the stables and two dry wells had been dug in a mess, so he guessed that the person behind his back was coming for the silver.
"It's not your fault in this matter, and I didn't expect the person behind it to be so bold."
While the two were talking, Wu Shan hurriedly brought someone over.
Seeing them, he asked with a slap on his face, "I heard that the Jinyi guard who stayed behind was killed and thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true!" ”
"Ning Tongzhi, thanks to you being a commander for many years, I didn't expect to make such a big mistake. Knowing that there is hidden silver in Teng Chong's mansion, why don't you send more people to guard it, so that the gangsters have a chance? ”
As he was questioning, he suddenly saw that the dry well on the side had traces of being dug, and Wu Bing's face changed.
"Was there any silver hidden here?"
"Okay, Ning Tongzhi, did you know that there was silver hidden here, but you stole it and secretly dug up the silver?"
Hearing this, Ning Chuyi hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Wei Feng was angry.
At this time, regardless of dignity and humility, he opened his mouth and pushed back, "Lord Wu, what does it mean to know that there is hidden silver, but you are guarding and stealing it?" We are not immortals, how can we know that there is silver buried here? ”
Wu Zhi sneered, and looked at Ling Chu meaningfully, "Although you are not immortals, some people can pinch and calculate, and the designation is that yesterday calculated the place where the silver was hidden, so they secretly dug it up at night." ”
Wei Feng was annoyed, "What's in it for us to be guarded and steal?" If you don't have enough money, you will be fined with a military stick and impeached by the imperial history. Besides, we adults still have to complete a hundred cases before we can be reinstated, how can we destroy our future! ”
Wu Zhi snorted coldly, "Who knows if you are greedy for money and fell in love with Teng Chong's embezzled silver, so you did this thief shouting to catch the thief." ”
Wei Feng was so angry that Wu Bing scolded angrily, "Put your mother's bullshit, we adults won't take a fancy to Teng Chong's embezzled silver, but our adults are from the Ningguo Mansion, but we haven't seen the money in a broken household."
Those dead brocade guards are brothers who have followed us for many years, how could we possibly kill them. ”
"Could it be that there is something wrong with your eyes and you can't see the wounds on the corpse, and it can't be caused by the embroidered spring knife we used?"
Wu Bing was scolded so much that he lost face, but he also knew that what Wei Feng said was right.
He had already seen those dead brocade guards, and the wounds were wounded by hidden weapons. From what he observed, their wounds looked like they had died from a secret weapon called the Peacock Feather.
Ning Chuyi's usual weapons are long swords, embroidered spring knives and the like.
And Peacock Ling, as far as he knows, is only used by people on the rivers and lakes, and it seems that it is still a secret weapon that is not spread outside, even if Ning Chuyi is the son of Ning Guogong, he can't have this thing.
And the Ning family has never interacted with people in the rivers and lakes.
However, there were rumors that the prince had a good evaluation of the people in the rivers and lakes in private.
Could it be that this incident was the prince's handiwork?
This is not impossible, Teng Chong is the prince's person.
Maybe the prince knew that Teng Chong kept saying that he was loyal to him, but he swallowed the greedy silver. Annoyed, he dug up the rest of the hidden silver?
The more Wu Bing thought about it, the more he felt that his analysis was correct, and he had to inform the second prince of this matter as soon as possible.
"What is the truth of the matter, this commander will definitely let people find out. Today is the second day, and if the task is not completed tomorrow, each person will be fined 50 military sticks, and the officer will be demoted by one level.
Also, one hundred and seventy thousand taels must be real money, and it cannot be folded with houses, fields, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. ”
Wu Bing was so anxious that he didn't care about the trouble of finding Wei Feng, so he hurriedly threw down the words and left.
Ning Chuyi frowned and watched Wu Bing's back go farther and farther.
I guessed that he was going to find the second prince.
Wei Feng also frowned and hesitated, "My lord, those dead brothers, the wounds look like they were caused by Peacock Feathers, could it be that the prince asked them to do this?" ”
Ning Chuyi didn't speak, this matter is indeed likely to be the prince's handiwork. Teng Chong has always been greedy, and most of the money he was greedy for was given to the prince.
But no one thought that he would swallow so much in private.
He transported so much money from Teng Chong's mansion into the palace yesterday, and the prince must have been furious when he found out.
Although the prince did not personally make friends with people in the rivers and lakes, as far as he knew, the prince had a cousin who was a concubine and liked to associate with some people in the rivers and lakes.
Wei Feng's brows furrowed more and more, originally there was still 320,000 yuan to complete the task, but now Wu Bing didn't let them use Tian's calligraphy to fold colors, and the lack was far more than 320,000.
Ning Chuyi also had a bit of a headache, although he didn't care about being beaten and demoted, he couldn't let his subordinates who had followed him for many years be suppressed by Wu Bing.
was about to let Ling Chu calculate that there was still hidden silver in Teng Chong's mansion.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard a sound of breaking the air.
Ning Chuyi's face changed, his body flashed, his long arms swept towards Ling Chu, and he hugged her and flashed to the side.
Boom!
A stone the size of a child's fist smashed into the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
Wei Feng heard the movement and turned his head to look in the direction where the sound of breaking the air came from, and a child of about five or six years old was lying on the wall, holding a stone in his hand, and was smashing it towards this side.
The two dry wells in Tengchong's mansion are in two remote courtyards, one south and one north.
Ling Chu and the others were in the dry well in the north courtyard at this time, and the child was the child of a neighboring family.
Just now the few of them were thinking about things, but they didn't even notice when the kid climbed the ladder to the courtyard wall, and dared to hit them with a stone.
Wei Feng was in a bad mood, and when he saw that the child was discovered by them, he didn't stop, but wanted to continue to smash people, and he was annoyed. He rose from the ground and flew towards the wall, grabbed the boy by the arm, and took him down.
Ning Chuyi glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes to look at Ling Chu, and let her go.
Ling Chu actually found out when the stone came over, and wanted to use a big shovel to block the stone, but he didn't expect Ning Chuyi to hug her away first.
Ling Chu saw that Ning Chuyi's face was not very good, and she didn't think much about it, she was frowning and looking at the system.
The child was only five or six years old but dressed in wealth, and after being carried down by Wei Feng, he broke free a few times and found that he didn't break away, and immediately scolded like a little bully, "You are all bad people, did you arrest my father, you all deserve to die." Uncle Li deserves to die, you all bullied me and my mother, and when I grow up, I must kill you all......"
