Chapter 11 I’m Afraid You’ll Cry if You Lose

Ling Chu was puzzled, "What are you betting on?"

"Of course, it's about who can find the silver faster."

Ling Chu glanced at him and ignored him.

She had no interest in this matter. She had a system, and it was easy to find out where the silver was hidden.

If he competed with her, the other party would definitely lose, and she would be unfair if she won. There was no point in comparing.

Ling Chu saw that the Jinyiwei had removed the seal on the door of the mansion, and the tightly closed door was pushed open. The commander Ning had already walked in with his men, and she also walked up the steps.

The prince of Jing followed in with a folding fan in his hand.

Ling Chu looked around as he walked in.

This mansion had not been inhabited for many years, and it was deserted. Weeds grew in the yard. The tiles on the roofs of some houses had long disappeared.

I don't know whose mansion it was originally. Such a big house, but no one lives in it, it's such a waste.

On the side, Prince Jing also looked around with curiosity, "Tsk, I didn't expect that General Mingwei's mansion would be so dilapidated." Ling Chu glanced at him, "Do you know whose mansion this is?" "Of course I know, eh, don't you know? It shouldn't be, everyone in Kyoto knows this mansion." "I didn't grow up in the capital since I was a child." "Oh, no wonder." Perhaps seeing that Ling Chu had not agreed to bet with him to find the hidden silver, Prince Jing introduced this mansion to her with great interest to show his sincerity. The owner of this mansion was General Mingwei of the previous dynasty. Because he embezzled military pay and colluded with foreign enemies to plot rebellion, the emperor of the previous dynasty ordered him and 136 people in the mansion to be beheaded. This incident was a major event that shocked the whole of Kyoto at the time. Ling Chu sighed in his heart after hearing this, in ancient times, if one person succeeded, the whole family would be promoted, but if one person in the family got into trouble, the whole family would be implicated. With so many people dead, it's no wonder that this house is so gloomy and dilapidated.

Prince Jing shook his fan, "How about, since I told you the origin of this house, let's have a bet."

Ling Chu was not interested, "What's there to bet on? Prince, if you are interested, just take people to look for it. I believe Lord Ning will not stop you if you have help."

"That's so boring."

"If you really want to bet with others, you can find those Jinyiwei."

Prince Jing looked at the expressionless Jinyiwei with disdain and shook his head, "Forget it, each of them is like a block of wood, stupid and boring, and they always lose to me."

When the Jinyiwei heard what he said, they didn't dare to say anything on their faces, but they were complaining in their hearts. Prince Jing was of noble status, but he was a famous playboy in Kyoto.

The entertainment of eating, drinking, playing, throwing pots and shooting arrows, cockfighting and running dogs could no longer attract him. Now he always likes to follow them to search for houses everywhere, and regards finding stolen silver as a kind of fun.

Ling Chu shook his head, "If you bet with me, I'm afraid you'll cry if you lose."

"Then you underestimate this prince. I'm not bragging. In this whole Kyoto, if I'm second, no one dares to be first."

From childhood to adulthood, no matter where the treasures of his family are hidden, he can easily find them. He has accumulated a lot of experience in finding things. Even those Jinyiwei are not as good as him.

A Jinyiwei moved an armchair out of the house. Ning Chuyi was sitting on it. He heard their conversation and didn't stop it.

This Prince Jing often likes to bet with his Jinyiwei to find stolen silver. Sometimes he even thinks those Jinyiwei are stupid and wants to bet with him. He is also very headache.

Now that he has found that Miss Ling, he will naturally not stop him, lest he turn around and pester him again.

"Then I still can't bet with you."

"Why can't you bet with me." Prince Jing frowned, feeling unhappy.

If he hadn't heard that this girl was good at finding silver, he wouldn't have been dissatisfied and wouldn't have kept pestering her to gamble with him.

"Prince, you know the situation in my family, I'm still waiting to help Lord Ning find the silver so that he can help me plead with the emperor and let the emperor show mercy to our family.

What if you find the silver and Lord Ning is unwilling to plead for me, what should I do? I can't just watch my whole family and myself being chopped off by the emperor, right?"

Prince Jing waved his hand disapprovingly, "Well, I thought it was something else, isn't it just to help you plead with the emperor. As long as you agree to go with I bet, I can also help you to plead with the emperor.

Now the treasury is empty, as long as you can find the property in General Mingwei's mansion, the emperor will definitely be willing to let you go for the sake of money.

Besides, the emperor is my uncle, I will plead for you, and for my sake, he will not embarrass you. Even if he disagrees, I can still ask the grandmother for help. "

Ning Chuyi glanced at the prince of Jing speechlessly. He had no doubt that this fool was sold and was happy to help others count money.

Ling Chu didn't expect there would be such an unexpected surprise. She guessed that the prince of Jing was of noble status, but she didn't expect that the emperor was actually his uncle.

Since she refused several times, he still insisted on betting with her. With one more person pleading, the chance would be greater. She had no reason to refuse.

"If you lose, you won't go to the emperor and cry to him, asking him to kill my whole family, right?" Prince Jing glanced at Ling Chu, "You underestimate me too much. Am I such a bad person? Don't worry, whether we win or lose, I will help you plead with the emperor."

Ling Chu nodded, "Okay, that's settled."

Then he turned to Commander Ning and said, "Master Ning, please be a witness."

Ning Chuyi glanced at her and nodded in agreement.

Since someone is willing to help, he is happy to be the shopkeeper. As long as he can get the property from General Mingwei's mansion to pay a favor to the emperor.

Ling Chu asked Prince Jing, "How to bet?"

"We each pick ten royal guards and divide them into two teams. Whichever team finds the fastest and most wealth within an hour will win."

"Your Majesty, let's choose someone first."

"You belong to the girl's family, so you should choose first, so as not to spread the word that I am bullying the girl's family."

Ling Chu shook his head, "The prince must have heard that I can use hexagrams to calculate the direction, right? This is equivalent to me using foreign objects, and the chance of winning is greater than yours. For the sake of fairness, let the prince pick first."

The system couldn't tell, but what she said was a subtle reminder to Prince Jing that she had a cheat.

Prince Jing did not refuse anymore and said readily, "That's okay, I'll choose first."

Soon, Prince Jing selected ten royal guards.

Ling Chu waited for him to finish picking, then walked over without looking, and casually ordered ten.

She picked randomly and didn't look carefully at all. Anyway, she had a system and didn't need the help of these royal guards to search. These ten people are mainly used to help her with some strenuous work.

Prince Jing shook his head and kindly reminded her, "Miss Ling, your choice is too random. You'd better observe it carefully and choose again."

"No need, just these people will do." Ling Chu didn't expect Prince Jing to be so kind as to remind her, and she couldn't bear it.

What bothers her now is not how to win, but how to calmly tell Prince Jing not to lose too badly, lest he become angry, keep his words and complain to his imperial uncle, which would be a bad choice.
