Chapter 157 Toilet
Stepping stones?
All the guards looked at the tables and chairs in the room, and they saw that one of the tables had four legs supported by a stone.
Ning Chuyi waved at Wei Feng.
Wei Feng immediately strode over with two Jinyiwei and moved the table away.
Gong Ping's face changed, but he didn't dare to stop him.
After the table was moved away, Wei Feng squatted down and put the four stepping stones together to look at them.
These stepping stones were not ordinary stones. There were traces of cutting on them. They were jadeite raw stones, but they were just waste.
The cutting master must have found that there was no jadeite inside, so he took them to pad the table.
Seeing that Wei Feng was still studying the mystery of these stones, Ling Chu could only remind him, "Cut the skin."
Wei Feng's eyes lit up, and he drew out his long sword and waved it at one of the stepping stones.
With a crisp sound, a piece of skin fell off.
Everyone was stunned instantly.
No one expected that the stepping stone had been tampered with, and a jade pendant was hidden inside after it was hollowed out.
The Jinyiwei who was in charge of the search looked ashamed. They searched the house three times, whether it was the tables and chairs, the walls, the beams on the roof or the ground, they had searched every inch, but found nothing.
In fact, they even moved the discarded jadeite stones on the ground several times when checking whether there was a secret passage on the ground, but no one thought that there would be something hidden in the stone that supported the table.
Soon, the other three stepping stones were also cut open by the Jinyiwei.
In addition to finding jade pendants, hairpins, earrings, pendants and other small ornaments, a key was hidden in one of the stepping stones.
Liu Jin, the eunuch in charge of Jinxiu Yuzhen, was summoned to the palace by the emperor for questioning early in the morning, and he had just returned from the palace.
Seeing the key that was exactly the same as his, his fair and beardless face turned dark blue, "I was surprised that the key was not lost, but the things in the warehouse were replaced. It turned out that someone secretly made a copy of the key to the warehouse."
Eunuch Liu wanted to crush the person behind the scenes to ashes. He was in charge of Jinxiu Yuzhen. Now something happened. The emperor was very dissatisfied with him. Today, he summoned him to the palace and scolded him.
Although some small ornaments were found, they were not the ones that were replaced.
Originally, Ling Chu wanted to scan one by one, but seeing that the scale of the workshop was not small, he was afraid that his body could not support it for a long time, so he had to use the hexagram to calculate.
Seeing that Ling Chu had gained something as soon as she came, the Jinyiwei had a lot of confidence in her.
But the deputy steward Gong Ping's heart was lifted.
The second prince looked ugly. He first glared at Gong Ping angrily, and then winked at him.
Gong Ping dared not to speak, and took Ling Chu to the backyard intentionally or unintentionally.
However, Ling Chu ignored her and turned to walk to a small path nearby.
The veins on Gong Ping's forehead jumped, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Miss Ling, there is only a toilet over there, why don't I take you to the backyard to have a look."
Ling Chu glanced at him, ignored her, and continued to walk forward.
Talking also takes effort, and she can't afford to waste any effort in her current physical condition. Unless it is necessary, she really doesn't want to speak.
Seeing that she ignored him, Gong Ping was very anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly, after all, that Lord Ning was following with those Jinyiwei.
Everyone followed Ling Chu, and the second prince could only follow with a dark face.
Although the second prince didn't know what was wrong with the toilet, he noticed that Gong Ping's face was not right.
The second prince turned his eyes and said to Ning Chuyi, "Sir Ning, Miss Ling is going to change clothes. It's not appropriate for us to follow her. We might as well stay here and wait."
Ning Chuyi didn't stop, but said in a calm voice, "The second prince is of noble status. It is not suitable for him to go to such a filthy place as the toilet. You can just stay here and wait."
Seeing that Ning Chuyi didn't listen to him, but took people to follow Miss Ling farther and farther, the second prince was angry and helpless, and could only flick his sleeves and continue to follow.
With him here today, that bastard can't keep his black hat on his head. The second prince turned around and told the guards, "You will act according to the situation later."
"Yes." The guards naturally didn't dare to resist the second prince's order.
In addition to offering jade articles to the emperor and the harem, Jinxiu Yuzhen sometimes also made some jewelry ornaments for some royal relatives and others.
These people were all extremely noble, and the toilet was considered a dirty place in the eyes of the world. In order to avoid the jade products being stained with any unpleasant smell, the workshop built the toilet farther away.
Ling Chu was already weak, and her forehead was covered with a layer of sweat after walking for a while. If it weren't for the tight time, she really wanted to lie down on the spot and not walk.
Just when her legs began to tremble, she finally saw the toilet.
Ling Chu couldn't wait to open the system.
"Miss Ling, do you want to search the toilet?"
"But we have searched the toilet, and we have almost dug a foot deep on the ground, but we didn't find anything."
Ever since a large amount of silver was dug out in the toilet of the Minister of Revenue, these Jinyiwei never dared to let go of the toilet when searching.
But this time in the toilet of the workshop, they didn't find anything.
Although Gong Ping looked calm, he was actually getting more and more uneasy in his heart. He always felt that Miss Ling was a little weird.
After hearing the discussions of the Jinyiwei, Gong Ping hurriedly comforted himself to stay calm and not to reveal any clues that something was wrong.
Ning Chuyi saw Ling Chu's face was pale, and the worry in his eyes flashed, "If you can't hold on, take a break."
Ling Chu was exhausted and nodded to him. Seeing a stone next to him that was relatively flat, he hurried over and sat down without caring whether it was rude.
Though the Jinyiwei were anxious, they didn't dare to say anything.
Ling Chu also knew that time was tight, and immediately said to Ning Chuyi after sitting down, "Civilized bucket."
Civilized bucket?
One Jinyiwei almost thought he had heard it wrong.
It can be seen that Ning Chuyi looked at the toilet thoughtfully, and everyone turned their heads to look over along his line of sight.
There were indeed two large toilet buckets on the left side of the toilet.
The Jinyiwei in charge of searching the toilet did not fail to see the two toilet buckets, but there were only two large buckets of night incense in the toilet buckets. Those jade articles that were replaced could not be hidden in the night incense, right?
Although Ning Chuyi didn't think that the jade artifacts would be hidden in the night incense, out of trust in Ling Chu, he still ordered the Jinyiwei around him, "Pour out the night incense and search carefully."
The second prince had been secretly paying attention to Gong Ping. Seeing that his face was as pale as a puppet, he secretly winked at the guards around him.
He said to Ning Chuyi again, "It's getting late. My father is still waiting in the palace. Let my guards go to help, and the speed will be faster."
Before Ning Chuyi had time to refuse, the second prince's guards had already walked quickly towards the toilet...
