Chapter 346 The Suspicious Prince
Ling Chu was a little unwilling to give up and opened the system with a hint of luck.
It turned out that not even half a penny was left in either the dry well or the stable.
The person behind the scenes not only killed the remaining Jin Yiwei, but also poached all the hidden silver.
"Was there any money buried here before?"
Ling Chu was feeling regretful when he suddenly heard Ning Chuyi's voice coming from behind.
"I should have reminded you adults yesterday that if we had strengthened our defense, this would not have happened."
Ning Chuyi learned that the Jin Yiwei who stayed behind had been killed. After he hurried over, he saw that the stables and two dry wells were dug in a mess, and he guessed that the person behind the scenes was here for the money.
"It's not your fault. I didn't expect the person behind it to be so bold."
While the two were talking, Wu Bing hurriedly brought someone over.
Seeing them, he immediately asked, "I heard that the Jin Yiwei who stayed behind was killed, so I thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Ning Tongzhi, thanks to your years of service as commander, I didn't expect that you would make such a big mistake. You know that there is a hidden treasure in Teng Chong's mansion, why don't you send more people to guard it so that the bad guys can take advantage of it?"
As he was questioning, Wu Bing suddenly saw signs of being dug in the dry well nearby, and Wu Bing's expression changed.
"Was there any money hidden here before?"
"Okay, Ning Tongzhi, did you know that there was hidden silver here, but you guarded it and stole the money secretly?"
Hearing this, before Ning Chuyi could speak, Wei Feng was furious.
At this time, regardless of his dignity, he opened his mouth and said back, "Master Wu, what does it mean to know that there is hidden silver, but to steal it? We are not gods, how can we know that there is silver buried here?"
Wu Bing sneered and looked at Ling Chu with a hint, "Although you are not gods, there are some people who can figure out the place where the silver was hidden yesterday, and then secretly dug it away at night."
Wei Feng was angry, "What good does it do us to be imprisoned for stealing? If we don't copy enough money, we will be fined with a military stick and impeached by the censor. Besides, we adults have to complete a hundred cases before we can be reinstated, so how can we destroy our future?" !”
Wu Bing snorted coldly, "Who knows if you are greedy for money and have taken a fancy to Teng Chong's embezzled money, so you did this thing called "catch the thief."
Wei Feng was so angry that Wu Bing cursed, "Fuck you, you are interested in Teng Chong's embezzled money. Even our adults will not be interested in it. Our adults are from Ningguo Duke's palace. It's not like we have never seen money." The broken settlement.
Those dead Jin Yiwei were brothers who had been following us for many years. How could we kill them. "
"Is it possible that there is something wrong with your eyesight, and you cannot see that the wounds on the corpse were not caused by the Xiuchun knife we used?"
Wu Bing was scolded to the point of losing his face, but he also knew that Wei Feng was right.
He had already seen the dead Jin Yiwei, and the wounds were caused by hidden weapons. According to his observation, their wounds seemed to have been caused by a hidden weapon called peacock feathers.
The weapons that Ning Chuyi and the others usually use are long swords, embroidered spring knives and the like.
As for Peacock Ling, as far as he knew, it was only used by people in the Jianghu, and it seemed to be a hidden weapon that was not spread to the outside world. Even if Ning Chuyi was the son of Ning Guogong, he could not own this thing.
Moreover, the Ning family has never interacted with people in the world.
There were rumors that the prince had a good opinion of the people in the world in private.
Could it be that what happened this time was the prince's handiwork?
This is not impossible, Teng Chong is the prince's man.
Maybe the prince knew that Teng Chong was loyal to him, but he pocketed the money from Greedy Mo. In anger, he dug away the remaining hidden silver?
The more Wu Bing thought about it, the more he felt that his analysis was correct. He had to inform the second prince about this as soon as possible.
"What is the truth of the matter? I will definitely let people find out. Today is the second day. If you fail to complete the task tomorrow, each person will be fined fifty military sticks and demoted one level.
Also, the one million and seventy thousand taels must be real gold and silver, and cannot be colored by houses, fields, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. "
Wu Bing was so anxious that he didn't care about causing trouble for Wei Feng, so he hurriedly dropped these words and left.
Ning Chuyi frowned and watched Wu Bing's back walking further and further away.
I probably guessed that he was going to find the second prince.
Wei Feng also frowned and said hesitantly, "Sir, the wounds of those dead brothers look like they were caused by peacock feathers. Could it be that the prince had someone do this?"
Ning Chuyi said nothing. This matter was probably the prince's handiwork. Teng Chong had always been greedy for fame, and most of the money he was greedy for went to the prince.
But no one thought that he would swallow so much in private.
He transported so much money from Teng Chong's mansion to the palace yesterday. When the prince finds out, he will definitely be furious.
Although the prince has not personally made friends with people in the world, as far as he knows, the prince has a concubine's cousin who likes to associate with some people in the world.
Wei Feng frowned more and more. Originally, they were still short of 320,000 yuan to complete the task. Now that Wu Bing doesn't let them use the land calligraphy to fold the color, the shortfall is far more than 320,000 yuan.
Ning Chuyi also had a headache. Although he didn't care about getting a military stick or being demoted, he couldn't let his subordinates who had been following him for many years be suppressed by Wu Bing.
He was about to ask Ling Chu to figure out whether there was any hidden silver in Teng Chong's house.
Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard a sound breaking through the air.
Ning Chuyi's expression changed, she dodged, and reached towards Ling Chu with her long arms, holding her and dodging to the side.
Boom!
A stone the size of a child's fist hit the ground, stirring up a burst of dust.
Wei Feng heard the noise and turned to look in the direction of the sound. A child about five or six years old was lying on the top of the wall, holding a stone in his hand and throwing it at this side.
The two dry wells in Teng Chong's mansion were in two remote courtyards, one in the south and one in the north.
Ling Chu and his friends were at the dry well in the north courtyard at this time. The child was from a neighboring family.
They were thinking about things just now, and they didn't notice when the child climbed up the wall along the ladder and dared to throw stones at them.
Wei Feng was in a bad mood. Seeing that the child didn't stop even after being discovered by them, he wanted to continue to throw stones, and he was annoyed. He rose from the ground and flew towards the top of the wall. He grabbed the child's arm and pulled him down.
Ning Chuyi took a look and retracted his gaze. He lowered his eyes to look at Ling Chu and let her go.
Ling Chu actually found out when the stone was thrown at her. He wanted to use a shovel to block the stone, but Ning Chuyi hugged her first.
Ling Chu saw that Ning Chuyi's face was not very good, but she didn't think much about it. She was frowning and looking at the system.
The child was only five or six years old, but he was dressed in rich clothes. After being picked up by Wei Feng, he struggled a few times and found that he couldn't break free. He immediately cursed like a little bully, "You are all bad people. Did you catch my father? You all deserve to die. Uncle Li deserves to die too. You all bullied me and my mother. When I grow up, I must kill you all..."
