Chapter 15: Divination Goes Wrong

After Ling Chu entered the Wu Mansion, she did not follow the Prince of Jing and the others to search, but just stood quietly near Ning Chuyi.

Wu Yuanji and the others had not noticed her before, and when they heard Ning's command, they were surprised and puzzled.

Ling Chu nodded in response, then calmly glanced at Li Lingmu's ghost, and signaled him to lead the way to find the things.

Li Lingmu had waited for this moment for too long.

After receiving Ling Chu's signal, he was excited and could not wait to float towards the study room of the Wu Mansion.

Ling Chu immediately raised his feet to follow.

Ning Chuyi waved his hand and followed with the Jinyiwei around him.

When Wu Yuanji saw them going to the study room, he was shocked and angry, but he calmed down again after a while.

After entering the study, Li Lingmu's ghost floated in front of the books and said excitedly, "Miss Ling, the thing is hidden behind the bookshelf. Take down the third travelogue from the seventh row on the right side of the bookshelf from right to left."

After taking down the travelogue, the wall behind was exposed. Li Lingmu asked Ling Chu to knock on the wall three times and finally clapped his hands hard.

After a slight noise, a secret compartment appeared on the wall.

However, surprisingly, the secret compartment was empty.

Prince Jing did not see what he expected, and frowned, "Mr. Wu, where is the thing in the secret compartment?"

Wu Yuanji said with a confused and terrified face, "This..., how can there be a secret compartment here? This house was not built by me, but bought from the pawnshop. I didn't know there was a secret compartment here, and I didn't know what was inside."

But he was relieved in his heart, and was extremely glad that he took the things away first.

After hearing that the residence of the Minister of Revenue was raided by the Jinyiwei, for some reason, he suddenly remembered what happened that year.

Wu Yuanji was uneasy and worried that something might happen, so he secretly moved the things in the secret compartment to another place.

Li Lingmu's ghost found that the letters that Wu Yuanji had secretly communicated with foreign enemies had disappeared, and he was angry and anxious.

Those letters were related to whether he could take revenge. He had only not been watching Wu Yuanji for three days, so how could those things disappear?

Li Lingmu immediately rushed towards Wu Yuanji like crazy, but was bounced away before he touched the corner of his clothes.

Ling Chu glanced at Wu Yuanji and suddenly said, "Mr. Wu, aren't you afraid that General Mingwei will seek revenge on you? He is right next to you now."

Wu Yuanji looked unhappy, "Whose girl are you? Why are you running to my house and talking nonsense? General Mingwei is my benefactor and has been very kind to me. How could he seek revenge on me for no reason?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yuanji suddenly felt a chill on his body, and the hair on his back stood up.

But he was used to being cold-hearted, and he had fought on the battlefield for many years, his hands were stained with blood, and he soon calmed down. Not to mention that Li Lingmu was already dead, even when he was alive, he was just a rough man with strong limbs.

He hasn't come back to seek revenge for so many years, maybe his soul has already been scattered.

This Wu Yuanji is really an ungrateful wolf. It seems that he has no guilt for harming Li Lingmu's family.

Although Li Lingmu's ghost couldn't touch Wu Yuanji, he still rushed towards him unyieldingly, trying to break through the defense and strangle him to death.

Ling Chu said to him helplessly, "Okay, he has something to protect himself, you can't hurt him now, you might as well go and see if the other things are still there."

This reminded Li Lingmu, and his eyes with deep puppet spirit glared at Wu Yuanji unwillingly, turned his head and floated away.

Wu Yuanji glanced at Ling Chu inexplicably. Why did he feel that although the girl was speaking in his direction, she was not speaking to him?

Could it be that Li Lingmu's ghost was really beside him?

But he felt that this was impossible.

Ling Chu ignored Wu Yuanji's suspicion. Seeing that the secret letters were not hidden in the secret compartment, she guessed that the property that was seized from Li Lingmu's home might have been transferred to another place by him.

Li Lingmu's ghost might not be found.

The prison of the Ministry of Justice was not a good place. Ling Chu did not want to stay there for a long time.

She decided to make a quick decision and search Wu Yuanji's house as soon as possible. She hoped that the emperor would release them from the prison as soon as possible for the sake of silver.

Half a day had been wasted today. It was better to use the system scan, which was fast and accurate.

Ling Chu took out the copper coins and tortoise shells from the brocade bag. Ning Chuyi and the others thought she was going to start searching with the hexagram technique, but they did not know that she secretly used her consciousness to call up the system virtual screen.

Li Lingmu's ghost floated back at this time. Without saying anything, just looking at his angry expression, you can know that the stolen property of his family, like the secret letter, had been moved by Wu Yuanji long ago.

Ling Chu guessed that Wu Yuanji might have seen that the residence of the Minister of Revenue was raided, and he felt uneasy, so he hid the things in another place.

But it doesn't matter, she has a plug-in, no matter where it is hidden, she can find it.

Sure enough, when the scan was turned on and saw those red dots, Ling Chu curled her lips.

Wu Yuanji was originally sure that the Jinyiwei would never find the things he hid, but for some reason, he suddenly felt uneasy.

Especially when he saw Ling Chu leading people to his concubine's bedroom, he was anxious and could only wink at the concubine Fang.

Fang immediately chased after him, "Stop right there, that's my boudoir, how can a group of men like you go in..."

Ling Chu heard her voice, but ignored it. He walked quickly into the dormitory, walked around the large screen, came to a cabinet with four large doors, and opened the door.

There were all kinds of colorful dresses hanging inside. Fang immediately shouted angrily, "Whose family are you from? It's okay if you hang out with a group of men, I don't care, but how can you bring people into my bedroom."

Ling Chu glanced at her and said coldly, "Can't you see that they are Jinyiwei, who are ordered to confiscate the house?"

Fang put her hands on her hips, "What house are you searching for? My master is honest and loyal to the court. All the family property has been searched out by you. Here are my clothes. If you damage them, can you afford to pay for it?"

Seeing the girl in front of her wearing an ordinary dress, Fang curled her lips in disdain. She didn't know where she came from. If she damaged her dresses, she would tear her apart.

Ling Chu ignored her and turned to the Jinyiwei standing at the door and said, "Come here and take out the box inside."

Fang was ignored and became even more angry, "I'll see who dares to touch my things..."

Seeing the Jinyiwei stepping in, Fang was shocked and angry, "Don't take it out, the box is just... just some women's clothes..."

The two Jinyiwei who came in immediately stopped and said to Ling Chu hesitantly, "Miss Ling, this... could it be a mistake?"

They thought that this was a cabinet for clothes, and the box could indeed contain clothes.

Ling Chu said to the Jinyiwei, "Just take out the box."

Seeing that she insisted, the two Jinyiwei had no choice but to step forward and take out the large wooden box inside.

When the lid of the box was opened, it was filled with all kinds of bellybands, and those styles were even more revealing than those worn by girls in brothels.

The two Jinyiwei looked away with embarrassment.

It seems that Miss Ling's divination was wrong this time.
