Chapter 341 Betting
Everyone looked sad when they heard Wu Bing asked everyone to dig a manure pit.
The cesspit is the most dirty place, but some people will hide their money in it, thinking it is the safest place. After all, even experienced thieves would not be able to think of hiding it in such a place.
This is the most annoying thing when Jin Yiwei raids his home.
No one wants to dig a cesspit, but Jin Yiwei ransacked the house and could not spare any part of it.
However, no one wants to do it unless it is absolutely necessary.
Seeing that no one spoke, Wu Bing immediately darkened his face, "What, are you going to resist my order together?"
Ning Chuyi looked at him calmly, "Master Wu, there are still many places that have not been searched. Digging the cesspool can be left at the end."
Wu Bing raised his chin, "I feel that now is the most appropriate time to dig. You have searched for several hours, but you haven't even found half of the silver. Teng Chong must have hidden the silver in the cesspit, and that's why you didn't find it."
"This commander orders you to dig immediately. If anyone disobeys, he will be punished with fifty military sticks."
Wu Bing became the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and his attitude became more and more arrogant.
Everyone is asked to copy out 1.07 million taels within three days. Time is tight. If all other places have been searched and nothing can be found, and everyone is asked to dig a cesspool, no one will have any objections.
But now, there was still a place to search, so Wu Bing asked them to dig a cesspit. If they agree, they will waste a lot of time.
In the servant's house, there are more than one hundred and thirty servants including the master and servants.
There are ten large and small huts and guest rooms.
There are six latrines, separated for men and women, which are used by the maids, women, servants and other servants in the mansion.
The four court rooms are for the male and female masters of the palace, as well as visiting guests.
When digging a manure pit, you have to clear out the feces inside before digging, which takes a lot of time.
But if they don't dig, Wu Bing will have an excuse to use the cane.
This is not a military stick.
This is a slap in Ning Chuyi's face.
Although they were aggrieved, Wei Feng and the others had to give in.
I am planning to take people to dig.
Ling Chu stopped them, "There's no need to go, there's no money in the cesspit."
The words just fell.
Wu Bing's eyes were as sharp as a knife, "Why, you are just a seventh-grade Xiaoqi, and you want to disobey this commander's order?"
Ling Chu almost couldn't help but turn pale. He was so afraid that others wouldn't know that he was the commander of the Jinyi Guards, so he had to speak every word.
"Sir, I am not disobeying your order. I am just stating the facts to prevent everyone from doing useless work. The emperor is still waiting for us in the palace to hand over the found silver to the treasury. If we fail to complete the task in time, No one can afford the emperor’s blame.”
Ling Chu carried out the emperor's banner, and Wu Bing became increasingly unhappy, "You're not a god, how do you know there's no silver hidden in the cesspit?"
Ling Chu flipped his wrist and motioned for him to look at the copper coins and turtle shells in his hands, "The young one just made a hexagram, so he knows there is no silver hidden in the cesspool."
Wu Bing sneered, "You have been pretending to be a fool at a young age. Whether you have hidden silver or not cannot be determined by just making random remarks. You have to do some digging to find out."
"Didn't anyone teach you that subordinates can only obey orders from their superiors and cannot resist them?"
Wu Bing finished speaking with a sullen face and waved his hand behind him, "Come here, take off her waist badge for me. If you resist my commander's order again, you will get out of Jin Yiwei today."
Ning Chuyi's eyes turned cold, and just when he was about to speak, Ling Chu shook his head at him invisibly.
She wanted to solve this little thing by herself.
"Master Wu, the younger one can dig a manure pit, but do you dare to fight against the younger one?"
Ling Chu asked this in front of everyone, and if Wu Bing didn't agree, everyone would think that he, a commander, was afraid of a seventh-grade Xiaoqi.
Wu Bingke couldn't afford to lose this person.
"What bet?"
"Just bet on whether there is any hidden silver in the cesspit."
Although Wu Bing just said that Ling Chu was faking things, when he inquired about her identity, he already knew that she was a disciple of Master Xuan Yi, and he also knew that she had real fortune-telling skills and was not a liar.
Wu Bing didn't think Teng Chong would hide the money in the manure pit, because he knew that Teng Chong was quite a clean person.
There are three things a new official should do when he takes office.
The reason why Wu Bing wanted those Jinyi guards to dig a cesspit was just to take the opportunity to humiliate Ning Chuyi and make everyone more aware of who their superiors were.
Wu Bing didn't want to bet with Ling Chu.
But having said it all, if he doesn't gamble, it means that he himself doesn't think there is silver hidden in the cesspool.
Ning Chuyi and the others had a reason not to dig a cesspool.
Seeing that Wu Bing looked unhappy, Zhu Yi guessed that he didn't want to bet. He rolled his eyes and suddenly said to Ling Chu with a serious face, "The imperial court has explicitly prohibited officials from participating in gambling."
Ling Chu remembered that Zhu Yi was one of the commanders in charge of military affairs. It seemed that he was leaning towards Wu Bing.
"Master Zhu, don't worry, we don't intend to gamble money."
Zhu Yi was startled and said subconsciously, "Then what's the bet?"
Ling Chu smiled, turned to Wu Bing and said, "Sir, if you dig a cesspit and there is hidden silver in it, get out of Jinyiwei immediately."
Ning Chuyi frowned and saw Ling Chu's bright eyes. He hesitated for a while and slowly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
He should have confidence in her ability.
It doesn't matter if you lose.
As a girl, she shouldn't be a royal guard.
Wu Bing didn't want to bet at first, but suddenly his heart moved.
The second prince had someone secretly pass a message to him, asking him to find a way to catch Miss Ling's fault and then drive her out of the Jinyiwei.
Although he didn't know the second prince's intention, he had no choice but to do it.
It didn't matter if there was no silver in the pit, he just asked someone to throw a few taels in.
He could easily win this bet.
This way, he killed three birds with one stone.
Letting Ning Chuyi's people dig the pit not only humiliated him, but also drove Miss Ling away. The second prince would certainly praise him for his ability to do things.
After thinking it through, Wu Bing's face quickly turned from gloomy to bright, "What if there is no silver?"
Ling Chu noticed Wu Bing's change, but pretended not to see it.
"If there is no silver, after the shift, Lord Wu will invite everyone to Xiankelai for dinner, how about it?"
Wu Bing was confident and raised his chin slightly, "It's a deal!"
Wei Feng and the others were still very confident in Ling Chu's ability.
They were secretly thinking that when they went to Xiankelai, they would definitely pick the most expensive ones and rip off Wu Bing.
With Wu Bing here, whether they bet or not, they had to dig the manure pit.
Since it was inevitable, Ling Chu planned to make a quick decision.
They were in the courtyard of Teng Chong's favorite concubine, so they might as well start from there.
Wei Feng led his men to roll up their trouser legs and prepare to pick out the manure in the toilet first.
But how could Ling Chu let Wu Bing have the opportunity to humiliate them.
He summoned a large shovel and dug a large pit next to it with a few shovels.
Then he used a mysterious technique to move the manure in the toilet out and put it in the large pit.
When the manure fell, Ling Chu shouted, "Get out of the way."
Wu Bing was surprised by her mysterious technique and reacted a beat slower.
When the manure fell, a few drops splashed on the hem of his flying fish suit and boots.
