Chapter 345 Disappeared
King Dingyuan was on duty today. He was a little absent-minded in doing things all day because he was worried that Ling Chu would be made difficult by others in Jinyiwei.
As soon as it was time to get off duty, we immediately rushed to Beizhen Fusi.
Unexpectedly, after asking, he found out that Ling Chu had followed Ning Chuyi to the House of the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to ransack the house.
King Dingyuan immediately rode over.
However, when he arrived at the Minister's Mansion, there were guards guarding the gate. It was inconvenient for King Dingyuan to go in, so he could only wait outside the gate.
When Ling Chu came out, he quickly scanned her up and down and saw that there was nothing unusual about her, so he let go of his worries.
When the Jinyi guards saw King Dingyuan, they came over to say hello to him.
In order for Ling Chu not to be ostracized by his colleagues, King Dingyuan did not put on airs. He greeted everyone in a gentle manner and then left with Ling Chu.
Seeing that Ling Chu did not go to Cyclamen with everyone, the Jinyi guards were quite sorry.
But he also knew that she was a girl, and King Dingyuan would not let her go out to eat and drink with a group of grown men.
After Lingchu left, everyone inevitably had a few discussions.
"Hey, tell me, is Ling Xiaoqi really the daughter of King Dingyuan?"
"This is still false. I heard him tell Commander Wu this morning that Miss Ling was his daughter."
"Ling Zong, the former household doctor, helped King Dingyuan raise his own daughter. Why didn't King Dingyuan help him plead with the emperor?"
"Pleading for mercy? Ling Zong was not killed by King Dingyuan. He had already burned incense in his previous life."
"What do you mean?"
"Because, I heard that when Ling Xiaoqi was born, she was secretly replaced by Ling Zong's wife. What would you do if your biological daughter was replaced by someone else?"
"How to do it, needless to say? If someone causes me to be separated from my flesh and blood for more than ten years, I will crush the person's bones and scatter them into ashes, and I won't be able to forgive my hatred."
The dozen or so Jin Yiwei who were not assigned anything were walking towards Cyclamen while talking.
Seeing that the restaurant was not far away, a guard in Jinyi said, "Okay, there is no one behind the scenes. Thanks to Ling Xiaoqi today, we were able to copy so much silver so easily."
"Yes, yes, yes, I estimate that we will be able to steal 1.07 million taels tomorrow in less than three days."
"When you say that, I suddenly look forward to tomorrow coming soon. If we complete the task tomorrow, then Wu Bing will be disappointed."
Seeing that the Jin Yiwei was speaking freely, someone quickly reminded him, "Talk less and eat more."
The Jin Yiwei was not annoyed and said cheerfully, "Yes, please remember to pick out the most expensive dishes later. You won't be able to go home if you don't eat enough."
Ever since Wu Bing became the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he has always caused trouble for these people overtly and covertly. Everyone was holding their breath and wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to kill him.
Ling Chu returned to the house, and the princess kept asking questions around her, worried that she would be made things difficult for her.
She simply told everything she could about today's events.
The princess was initially relieved, but when she learned that they had to collect 1.07 million taels within three days, she became worried again, "What will happen if you fail to complete the task?"
Ling Chu gave her a comforting smile, "Don't worry, concubine, I'm sure I can complete it."
She didn't lie.
Today was the first day of house searches. The gold, silver, copper coins, and treasure banknotes that were confiscated, plus house deeds, land deeds, shops, etc., totaled 750,000 taels.
It is only 320,000 taels away from 1.07 million taels.
Lingchu was confident because from the system, she discovered that there were two dry wells in Zuo Shilang's house and a large amount of gold and silver hidden under the stables.
According to her estimate, it was more than 320,000.
Knowing that the task would be completed tomorrow, Ling Chu was not worried at all.
After dinner, I took a shower and rested.
However, what she didn't expect was that when she set out for Beizhen Fusi the next day, she met Wei Feng on the way, who was in a hurry and had an angry face.
After asking, I found out that all the Jinyi guards who had been arranged by Ning Chuyi to stay at Zuo Shilang's residence last night had been killed.
Ling Chu's heart suddenly tightened and he felt something bad.
"Do you know who is so bold that he dares to kill even Jin Yiwei?"
Wei Feng shook his head and looked very sad, "I just received the news. I only know that all the more than 30 Jinyi guards who were left behind were killed, and no one was left alive.
The exact person who did it is not yet known. The adults have already rushed over first. "
Wei Feng reached out and rubbed his still hungover face, feeling regretful in his heart.
After ransacking his house yesterday and taking Teng Chong's family members to prison, he went to Cyclamen.
Jin Yiwei, who went first, ordered many dishes and asked the shopkeeper of Cyclamen to serve more than ten jars of wine.
Wei Feng, like everyone else, thought that Wu Bing would pay the bill for this meal anyway, and if he didn't eat, he would get nothing.
Not only did everyone finish all the food they ordered, but they also drank all the wine.
After returning home, I fell asleep.
Wei Feng regretted that he should not have been careless and only focused on drinking instead of staying at the Minister's Mansion.
Seeing that he couldn't get any news from Wei Feng, Ling Chu could only follow him to Zuo Shilang's house in a hurry.
Ling Chu was a little worried. He didn't know if the person behind the scenes was here for the money that hadn't been dug out yet.
King Dingyuan frowned, sent her to the door and left.
Although he is a prince, he cannot interfere with Jin Yiwei's affairs.
I can only find a way to find someone to get the news.
In Zuo Shilang's Mansion, Ning Chuyi looked at the corpses of Jin Yiwei placed together, although there was no expression on his face.
But my heart was filled with guilt.
After the house was searched yesterday, he did not go to Xiankelai.
After the seized property was transported to the palace, the emperor was both happy and angry.
Seeing that the silver embezzled by Teng Chong was not spent by him, and most of it was seized, the treasury finally had income, and the emperor was happy.
But when he thought of Teng Chong's management of the silver scheme, he dared to embezzle, and he didn't know how much gold and silver he had embezzled over the years, the emperor was angry again.
The emperor was in a bad mood and didn't want to see any of the concubines in the harem, but he dragged Ning Chuyi to accompany him to eat a royal meal.
After the meal, he didn't let him leave, and kept him talking for almost an hour before letting him leave the palace.
After Ning Chuyi left the palace, he wanted to go back to the Minister's Mansion to remind the Jinyiwei who stayed behind to pay more attention at night.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the palace, he saw the servant sent by Ningguogong waiting for him.
After learning that Duke Ningguo wanted to discuss something with him and had been waiting for more than an hour, Ning Chuyi hesitated for a moment and did not go to the Zuo Shilang Mansion.
He thought that the Jinyiwei who stayed behind had been with him for many years and were experienced. Even if he did not make an extra trip to remind them, they would not slack off.
But he did not expect that they were all killed overnight.
He had been confiscating houses for many years, but this was the first time someone dared to kill the Jinyiwei who stayed behind.
This was something he did not expect.
Ling Chu arrived at the Zuo Shilang Mansion and did not go to see the killed Jinyiwei.
Instead, he went to the dry well and the stable to check.
However, seeing these three places in a mess, her heart was cold.
All the hidden silver disappeared.
