Chapter 355 : Chapter 351: The Secret - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

The Jin Yiwei who came to report before once again raised his hands and said, "Sir, Eunuch Cao, there is a universe in this plaque."Eunuch Cao had already made a guess, so he took a few steps forward and looked carefully, and found that there were cracks in the plaque.I think it cracked when it fell.Eunuch Cao's sharp eyes saw a bit of silver through the cracked gap.Eunuch Cao subconsciously stepped forward and leaned over the plaque to take a closer look.He quickly straightened up and sneered at Zhu Qiming, "What a breeze with two sleeves, Mr. Zhu, you actually have money hidden on this plaque."As soon as Eunuch Cao finished speaking, Zhu Qiming's three daughters-in-law all said in shock, "It's impossible."Ning Chuyi glanced at Wei Feng.Wei Feng immediately stepped forward and waved the Xiuchun knife in his hand several times. The wooden boards on the large plaque were scattered on the ground.A silver plate as large as a plaque was revealed.The maids, wives, and servants of the Vice Minister's Mansion all had expressions of disbelief.They had been in and out of the mansion for many years, but they had never discovered that there was such a large silver plate hidden in the plaque hanging on the door.Ning Chuyi asked coldly, "Master Zhu, how do you explain this?"Zhu Qiming was panicking just now, but he has calmed down now, "Master Ning, this plaque was handed down by the ancestor of the Zhu family. As for why there is a silver plate hidden inside, I don't know.It seems that the ancestors of the Zhu family used the money they saved to build it. They hid it in the plaque in order to prevent thieves from discovering it.After hearing Zhu Qiming's explanation, the ladies and concubines in the house looked a little unhappy.The family obviously hid such a large amount of money, but instead of using it, they asked them to use dowry to subsidize it.Ling Chu, who was behind the crowd, suddenly said, "It seems that the ancestors of the Zhu family are really not rich."Zhu Qiming's heart tightened.Only then did he discover Ling Chu's existence.Even though she was dressed in black soap clothes, Zhu Qiming could tell at a glance that she was born as a girl.Although this was the first time he met Ling Chu, Zhu Qiming had already heard about her.Zhu Qiming felt uneasy and wanted to say something to change the subject, but he was worried that he was hiding something.Eunuch Cao has already spoken, "Miss Ling, what do you mean by this?"Ling Chu smiled and said with a curious expression, "I don't know what kind of business the ancestors of the Zhu family did. Not only did they use silver plates to make plaques, but even the ancestral halls were paved with silver as green bricks."As soon as Ling Chu finished speaking, Zhu Qiming's eyes went dark.The faces of his three sons all changed greatly.As for the ladies and concubines, they looked surprised and confused.Eunuch Cao looked surprised, "Do you take Miss Ling's words seriously?"Ling Chu smiled and continued, "Whether it is true or not, you will know after digging around."Eunuch Cao was doubtful and turned to Ning Chuyi, "Master Ning..."Ning Chuyi said nothing and took people directly to the ancestral hall.Zhu Qiming knelt on the ground, his face ashen.The three sons looked anxious.But no one dared to stop Jin Yiwei.After entering the ancestral hall, Ling Chu placed three sticks of incense on the memorial tablets of the Zhu family's ancestors.Facing the rows of memorial tablets on the altar table, Ling Chu said softly, "Sorry for disturbing everyone's peace."After placing the incense, Ling Chu summoned a small hammer and smashed all the green bricks on the floor of the ancestral hall.Ning Chuyi asked Jin Yiwei to step forward and clean the broken green bricks aside.Everyone soon discovered that there was a tic-shaped stone trough buried under the blue bricks.There were large silver plates in the stone trough.It was obvious that the silver was melted and poured into the stone trough.These silver plates were large and heavy and could not be moved at all.Ling Chu directly used a small hammer to knock the silver plates into small pieces. Ning Chuyi then had people register them, put them in a box, and then carry them out.After leaving the ancestral hall, Ling Chu looked up at the plaque hanging on it and said to Ning Chuyi, "Take it down."Ning Chuyi glanced at her and waved to Yin Sha and Wei Feng.The two of them jumped at the same time and flew towards the plaque.One of them grabbed one end and took down the plaque.Originally, the two thought that the plaque was very heavy, but after taking it down, they found that it was not.Seeing that they were so light, Eunuch Cao was a little surprised. It seemed that there was nothing unusual about the plaque in the ancestral hall.Ling Chu said, "Tear down the plaque."Wei Feng now treated Ling Chu's words the same as Ning Chuyi's.He immediately stepped forward to do it.Soon the plaque was taken apart, and there was no silver plate inside, but two account books were hidden.The account books recorded the amount and silver of reselling official salt and official grain.It was shocking.After tearing down the ancestral hall, Ling Chu took people to the cellar.They found more than 30 bags of official grain and seven or eight bags of official salt.When these things were carried to the main courtyard, the ladies of the Minister's Mansion were not only afraid, but also full of anger.They even couldn't help but resent it.There was obviously so much silver in the mansion, but their father-in-law and husband kept it a secret.They watched them use their dowries to fill it again and again in order to maintain the dignity of the mansion.Not only did they not spend a penny of the silver, but now they had to lose their lives for the silver.It would be fine if they died, but their children were still young, how could they not resent them.The ladies only thought that their children were innocent, but they did not think that Zhu Qiming would sell the official grain used for disaster relief, and how many disaster victims would starve to death because they could not get relief.The evidence was conclusive, and Zhu Qiming could no longer deny it.The whole family, young and old, and the servants serving in the mansion were all arrested by the Jinyiwei and thrown into prison.When the news spread, the court was in a state of panic, and everyone was in danger.Ling Chu followed everyone to raid two mansions in a row and was exhausted.After returning to the mansion, she washed up, didn't eat, and fell asleep.She thought she could rest for a few days, but when she woke up the next day, the servant of Prince Jing hurried over and begged her for help.
