It's not just Gonggong Cao who is puzzled.

Even the maid of the Right Squire's Mansion was surprised.

As soon as the brocade guard saw everyone's expressions, he knew what they were thinking.

He didn't explain much, and motioned for everyone to look at the courtyard door.

Four brocade guards were walking towards this side with a large plaque.

Ning Chuyi's gaze swept over the plaque, and landed on the bulging arms of the four brocade-clothed guards and paused.

Soon he looked back at the big plaque with a thoughtful expression.

After retracting his gaze, he subconsciously crossed the Jinyi guard on the side and looked at Ling Chu who was standing behind.

Ling Chu saw him and smiled at him.

Ning Chuyi was silent, and sure enough, it was her handiwork again.

As the four brocade guards approached, Gonggong Cao also saw that something was wrong.

The martial arts of Ning Chuyi's subordinates are all good, and it is said that a plaque can be carried by four people.

But not only did they carry it, but it seemed that the plaque was quite heavy.

Soon, the four brocade guards laboriously carried the plaque over and put it on the ground in front of Ning Chu and Gonggong Cao.

The plaque fell to the ground, sending up a puff of smoke.

Ling Chu's gaze fell on the plaque with everyone.

This plaque was originally hung on the gate of the Shilang Mansion, and there was nothing special about it, it was just an ordinary wooden board.

The word "Zhu Fu" is written on it.

The Jinyi Guard, who had come to pay his respects earlier, arched his hand again, "My lord, Gonggong Cao, there is something in this plaque. ”

Gonggong Cao already had a guess, he would take a few steps forward, and after a closer look, he found that there were cracks in this plaque.

I think it was when it fell, and it was smashed.

Cao Gonggong's eyes were sharp, and he saw a little silver white from the cracked gap.

Gonggong Cao subconsciously stepped forward quickly, leaned over and leaned over the plaque to take a closer look.

quickly straightened up and sneered at Zhu Qiming, "What a two-sleeved breeze, Lord Zhu, your plaque actually hides silver." ”

As soon as Cao's father-in-law finished speaking, Zhu Qiming's three daughters-in-law were all stunned, "Impossible." ”

Ning Chuyi glanced at Wei Feng.

Wei Feng immediately stepped forward, and with a few waves of the embroidered spring knife brush in his hand, the wooden planks on the large plaque were already scattered on the ground.

A silver plate as large as a plaque was revealed.

The maids and maids of the Shilang Mansion all looked incredulous.

They have been in and out of the house for many years, but they have never found that the plaque hanging on the gate actually hides such a large silver plate.

Ning Chuyi asked in a cold voice, "Lord Zhu, how do you explain this?" ”

Zhu Qiming was flustered just now, but this will have calmed down, "Lord Ning, this plaque was handed down by Zhu Fuzu, as for why there is a silver plate hidden in it, this official does not know."

It is thought that it was built by the ancestors of the Zhu family with the accumulated silver, and it was hidden in the plaque in order not to be discovered by thieves.

After listening to Zhu Qiming's explanation, several ladies and concubines in the house looked a little unhappy.

There was obviously such a large piece of silver hidden in the house, but they didn't take it out and use it, but asked them to subsidize it with a dowry.

Ling Chu behind the crowd suddenly spoke, "It seems that the ancestors of the Zhu Mansion are really not ordinary rich. ”

Zhu Qiming's heart tightened.

Only then did Ling Chu's existence be discovered.

Although she was dressed in a black soap suit, Zhu Qiming could still tell at a glance that she was a daughter.

For Ling Chu, although it was the first time he saw her, Zhu Qiming had already heard of her.

Zhu Qiming was uneasy and wanted to say something to change the topic, but he was worried that he wanted to cover it up.

Gonggong Cao had already spoken, "Miss Ling, what do you mean by this?" ”

Ling Chu smiled and said curiously, "I don't know what kind of business the ancestors of the Zhu family did, not only did they use silver plates as plaques, but even the ancestral hall was laid with silver as green bricks. ”

As soon as Ling Chu's words fell, Zhu Qiming's eyes darkened.

His three sons, Qi Qiqi's faces, changed dramatically.

As for the ladies and concubines, they looked suspicious.

Gonggong Cao looked surprised, "Is Miss Ling's words serious?" ”

Ling Chu smiled and continued, "Whether it's true or not, you won't know if you dig it." ”

Gonggong Cao was suspicious and turned to Ning Chuyi, "Lord Ning..."

Ning Chuyi didn't speak, and went directly to the ancestral hall with people.

Zhu Qiming knelt on the ground, his face dead.

The three sons looked anxious.

But no one dared to stop Jinyiwei.

Entering the ancestral hall, Ling Chu put three sticks of incense on the tablet of the ancestors of the Zhu family.

Looking at the rows of spiritual seats on the offering table, Ling Chu whispered, "I'm sorry for disturbing everyone's peace. ”

After inserting the incense, Ling Chu summoned a small hammer and smashed all the green bricks laid on the ground of the ancestral hall.

Ning Chuyi asked Jinyiwei to step forward and clean up the broken green bricks aside.

Everyone soon discovered that there was a tic-tac-toe stone trough buried under the green bricks.

Inside the stone trough are large silver plates.

At first glance, the silver was melted and poured into a stone trough.

The silver plates were too big and heavy to move.

Ling Chu directly used a small hammer to knock the silver plate into small pieces, and Ning Chuyi asked people to register it, put it in the box, and then carry it out.

Out of the ancestral hall, Ling Chu looked up at the plaque hanging on it, and said to Ning Chuyi, "Pick it up." ”

Ning Chuyi glanced at her and waved at Yin Sha and Wei Feng.

The two of them jumped at the same time and flew towards the plaque.

One grabbed one end and removed the plaque.

Originally, the two thought that the plaque was very heavy, but after removing it, they found that it was not.

Seeing that they were fluttering, Gonggong Cao was a little surprised, it seems that there is nothing abnormal about the plaque in the ancestral hall.

Ling Chu said, "Tear down the plaque." ”

Wei Feng now treated Ling Chu's words the same as Ning Chuyi's.

Hearing this, he immediately stepped forward to make a move.

Soon the plaque was opened, and there was no silver plate inside, but two account books were hidden.

The books of accounts record the quantity and silver of the salt and rations of the officials.

Shocking.

After demolishing the ancestral hall, Ling Chu took people to the cellar again.

More than 30 bags of official rations were found, as well as seven or eight bags of official salt.

When these things were carried to the main courtyard, the ladies of the Shilang Mansion were full of anger in addition to fear.

I couldn't help but resent.

There is obviously so much silver in the house, but their father-in-law and husband hide it to death.

watched them use their dowries to fill in again and again in order to maintain the dignity of the house.

They didn't spend half a penny of that silver, but now they have to lose their lives for it.

It's okay if they die, but their children are still young, how can they not resent it.

Several ladies only thought that their children were innocent, but they did not think that if Zhu Qiming sold the official food used for disaster relief, how many victims would be starved to death because they could not get relief.

The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and Zhu Qiming can no longer deny it.

The whole family, as well as the servants waiting in the mansion, were all arrested and put in prison by the Jinyi guard.

The news spread, and the court was full of rumors, and everyone was in danger.

Ling Chu followed everyone to copy two mansions in a row, and he was too tired to do it.

After returning home, I washed up, didn't eat, and fell asleep.

I thought I could rest for a few days, but I didn't expect to wake up the next day, but the little servant of King Jing came in a hurry and begged her to save her life.
