Chapter 158 Kill that Beast
Seeing the guards of the second prince rushing towards Gong Tong, the guards in royal robes were stunned for a moment, and then they also quickly chased in that direction.
The second prince has always been at odds with Ning Chuyi. He will appear in the workshop today. His main purpose is to wait to see Ning Chuyi's black gauze hat fall to the ground.
Those Jinyi guards did not believe that the second prince would be so kind and asked the guards to help them.
Everyone intuitively felt that something was wrong with Gong Tong.
When the two guards of the second prince saw the Jin Yiwei chasing after them, they looked at each other. One of the guards suddenly slipped and knocked his companion.
The guard who was hit rushed towards the two big barrels in panic.
Bang bang!
Seeing the two barrels rolling towards the side slope, the two guards' eyes flashed with success.
There happens to be a lotus lake at the bottom of the slope. As long as the two buckets roll into the lake, they can take advantage of the chaos and hide the contents in the buckets in the mud.
"Smash the respectful bucket." Ling Chu could tell the intention of the two guards at a glance.
With Ning Chuyi's ability, he naturally guessed the purpose of the guard. When Ling Chu shouted to smash the bucket, he shouted, "Yin Sha."
As soon as Ning Chuyi finished speaking, Yin Sha suddenly appeared like a ghost.
The expressions of the two guards changed, and they no longer pretended to be panicked. They made a quick move and planned to push Gong Tong into the lake before Yin Sha took action.
Just when they were about to succeed, the long sword in Yin Sha's hand moved in mid-air.
A sword energy flashing with cold light instantly struck Gong Tong's direction.
The two Gongtong fell apart instantly.
The two guards glared at Yin Sha fiercely. If he hadn't been unable to defeat him, the two guards would have killed him. They almost pushed Gong Tong into the lake, but they were destroyed by this evil star.
Yin Sha glanced sideways at the two of them, ignored them, and stood guard beside the two respectful barrels with his long sword in his arms.
The expressions on the faces of those Jinyi guards were hard to describe when they saw the jade articles scattered on the slope.
Who would have thought that something they couldn't find was hidden in the mezzanine of Gong Tong!
Eunuch Liu was so happy that he almost cried with joy when he saw these jade items that had been swapped. After finding something, I finally don’t have to worry about my head moving.
After feeling happy, he remembered the sword that Yin Sha had just struck, and rushed over to check.
Fortunately, Yin Sha's strike was measured. Although the sword chopped the two barrels into four pieces, the jade hidden inside was not damaged at all.
Eunuch Liu and all the royal guards were very happy when the jade was found. However, the second prince was so angry that he glared at the two guards.
He's such a loser, he can't handle even the smallest things well.
If there weren't so many people present, the second prince would have wanted to kill the deputy steward Gong Ping and hide the jade in Gong Tong. Is this the foolproof method he said?
Gong Ping felt miserable in his heart.
Jinxiu Yuzhen is a royal workshop. No matter it is day or night, there are guards guarding the door. Anyone entering or leaving the workshop must be searched.
In order to smuggle the jade out of the workshop, Gong Ping secretly found someone to customize two large gong barrels. After switching the jade items out of the bag, he hid them in the mezzanine of the gong barrel without anyone noticing.
During the inspection, the guards would only search the person who pulled the night incense, but they would not check the two barrels of night incense.
If Lao Chentou, who was pulling Yexiang, hadn't suddenly fallen ill, he would have secretly transported these jade items out long ago.
Although Eunuch Liu was happy to find the jade, he knew that if the person behind it was not found, there would be no guarantee that this kind of thing would not happen again in the future.
"Who secretly obtained the key to the warehouse? Considering that all the jades have been recovered, if we tell the truth, the Zajia family will definitely ask the emperor to be lenient and give him a lenient sentence. But if we don't tell the truth, we will be killed. Come to the ground!"
The second prince secretly winked at the deputy steward.
Gong Ping immediately said with righteous indignation, "Eunuch Liu, these jade articles must have been exchanged by Xie Yidao, and then hidden in Gong barrels to be smuggled out."
Chen Yi, the head manager of the workshop, frowned, "Impossible. That man Xie Yidao is very honest. How dare he be so bold as to exchange the jade article? This is a serious crime of beheading."
Gong Ping said plausibly, "How is it impossible? Don't you think that the knife work on those shoddy jade pieces is very similar to Xie Yidao's?"
The master in the workshop originally thought that those jade articles could not have been stolen by Xie Yidao, but now after hearing Gong Ping's words, he couldn't help but become suspicious.
If you look carefully at those shoddy jades, the carvings are indeed similar to those of Xie Yidao.
As soon as Gong Ping saw the expressions of those masters, he knew that they were beginning to doubt Xie Yidao, so he hurriedly added fuel to the fire, "Don't forget, Xie Yidao is not only the most powerful carver in our workshop, but his knife skills are also recognized The fastest.
He must have carved the jade in secret, then secretly obtained the key to the warehouse, switched the batch of jade that everyone carved, and then hid it in the Gong bucket.
Eunuch Liu, hurry up and send someone to capture Xie Yidao. If it's too late, it will be too late. A few days ago, he said that he received a letter from home that his mother was seriously ill and wanted to take leave and go home to take care of her.
Now it seems that he must have received some news and was worried about what happened, so he found an excuse to run away secretly. "
Seeing that what Gong Ping said was true, Eunuch Liu also began to doubt. Could it be that Xie Yidao really did this?
Gong Ping was very proud of his idea. Xie Yidao was dead and he blamed everything on him, but now there is no proof.
The jade was found and helped Ning Chuyi keep his official position. Ling Chu also breathed a sigh of relief. But she can't go back now. She came here for merit.
Ling Chu's eyes fell on Gong Ping. Not only was the deputy manager's forehead black, but the stench of corpses on his body was even stronger than Wei Feng's.
He raised his hand and made a seal, then wiped it across his eyes, opening his Yin-Yang eyes.
The scene in front of him changed, and Ling Chu saw a puppet soul covered in mud, holding a carving knife, and slashing at Gong Ping frantically.
Ling Chu shook her head and said to the puppet soul, "You can't cut him like this, do you need my help?"
If she guessed correctly, this person was probably Xie Yidao.
The puppet soul suddenly heard someone talking to him, paused, and looked at Ling Chu in astonishment, "Girl can see me?" Thinking of what she just said, the puppet soul was excited, "Girl, can you really help me?"
Ling Chu nodded, "Yes, I can, but I have to charge."
"Girl, I can give you anything you want, just ask you to help kill Gong Ping, the beast."
"I can't help you kill, but I can help you expose his crimes."
Although the girl couldn't help him kill Gong Ping, as long as he exposed what Gong Ping did, he would not be able to escape death.
The puppet soul was afraid that if he didn't agree, if the girl in front of him didn't help him anymore, where could he find someone who could see and was willing to help him, so he nodded hurriedly.
