Chapter 4 Let’s Go to the Toilet Together

In the hall of Yanhe Hall, there are eight red painted pillars, all of which are filled with silver.

Ling Chu asked Jin Yiwei to cut open each pillar and take out all the silver inside.

Ling Shangshu looked at the boxes of silver being carried out, his face full of disbelief.

He was confident that the money was hidden so secretly that no one could find it.

But how did this granddaughter, who just returned home yesterday, do it?

Is the hexagram technique she learned at Xuanqing Temple really that powerful?

Ling Shangshu was uneasy and anxious, worried that if this situation continued, if all the money was found, even if the emperor did not behead them this time, that person would not let him go if he knew that the money was gone.

He wanted to stop Ling Chu, but under the eyes of Commander Ning and Eunuch Cao, he did not dare to make any move.

I could only comfort myself while feeling anxious. The reason why the silver in the pillar was found was just a coincidence.

It is impossible to find the other silver. After all, he hid it so secretly that no one else knew about it except himself.

The other people in Shangshu Mansion widened their eyes in surprise.

No one could have imagined that there was such a large sum of silver hidden in the pillars of the mansion. They came to the main hall every day to pay their respects to the Madam, but no one ever discovered it.

Especially the second lady, when she thought that so much money had to be handed over to the treasury, she felt as if she had her own flesh cut off.

It's all because of the eldest girl's misfortune. As soon as she returns home, the Jin Yiwei will come and ransack the house. Her dowry and the money she had saved for many years were all confiscated. Not only that, but now she was about to lose this large sum of money.

The second lady glared at Ling Chu fiercely, wanting to pounce on her and strangle her to death.

Ling Chu didn't know that the second lady was already eager to get rid of her, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

She is not dough and can be rounded and flattened by others.

After counting, the silver found was less than one-third.

Eunuch Cao urged Ling Chu to quickly find the remaining silver.

When those Jinyi guards saw that she could really find money with hexagram skills, their attitude towards her became much better.

However, Ling Chu led them to search in the house for half an hour, but could not find even half a tael of silver.

Ling Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief.

Eunuch Cao followed the search for a long time and saw disappointment again and again. His attitude towards Ling Chu was no longer as gentle as before. He frowned and said, "Miss Ling, I heard that you have been at Xuanqing Temple for many years. How come you are so bad at learning hexagram skills? "

The original owner had been in Xuanqing Temple for many years and was very good at hexagram skills. However, Ling Chu's search for silver did not rely on hexagram skills.

She calmly glanced at the red dots scanned in the system, and then said uneasily, "Eunuch Cao, let me do another fortune telling."

As if worried that Eunuch Cao would be angry, Ling Chu quickly took out the copper coins.

He took a deep breath, put his hands together with a serious expression, muttered something, and then solemnly threw the copper plate.

No one present understood the hexagrams.

Ling Chu tossed the coin six times in a row, then pointed to the southwest corner with a look of surprise on his face and said, "According to the hexagram, it's over there."

Eunuch Cao followed her finger and saw nothing, so he could only say doubtfully, "Why don't you hurry up and lead the way?"

Eunuch Cao didn't notice, but Ling Shangshu's expression changed.

He glanced vaguely at the lady standing beside him.

The madam's heart tightened, and she turned around and glared at the eldest madam.

Although the eldest lady didn't know why her mother-in-law was glaring at her, she thought of the silver she found earlier, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He immediately turned his head and shouted to Ling Chu with a sharp look, "Ling Chu, have you had enough trouble? The money you found earlier was just earned from the property in the mansion. Your grandfather was not greedy at all, so there is no money left! If you continue to make troubles If you go down and offend the Lord, can you bear it?"

Although the second lady didn't know if there was any other money hidden in the house, she was worried about it if there was. So he said in a weird manner, "That's right, Ling Yatou, even if you are dissatisfied with the mansion for letting you live in Xuanqing Temple for so many years before bringing you back, you can't be so ignorant and take the opportunity to act mischievously in the mansion.

It doesn't matter if you don't know a little bit about chess, calligraphy and painting. Stop showing off your hexagram skills, or you won't make people laugh. There is no money in the southwest corner, there is only a toilet. "

The third lady glanced at her parents-in-law next to her, and then persuaded softly, "Ling Chu, your grandfather has been an official for many years and has always been upright and upright. Everyone in the house knows that your grandfather would never embezzle half a tael of money. It was just someone else who framed him." of."

The second and third girls also said, "Sister, you are not familiar with the mansion. You may not know that there are really only latrines in the southwest corner."

Hearing these words, Eunuch Cao and the imperial guards looked disappointed. Most people's huts are indeed built in the southwest corner.

Ling Chu's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and after taking in the expressions of doubt, anger, and uneasiness, he said innocently, "But the hexagram shows that the silver is hidden in that position."

Everyone’s lips twitched. Whose money is not hidden at home? Places like the latrine were full of stench. How could Ling Shangshu hide such a large sum of money in such a filthy place?

The faces of those Jin Yiwei were filled with disappointment. They were really confused. How could they believe that Miss Ling could find the silver?

It was just a coincidence that she found the silver in the pillar.

Ling Chu ignored everyone and turned around and walked toward the southwest corner.

No one believed that there was money hidden in the latrine, and everyone stood still.

However, unexpectedly, a tall and straight figure followed.

The Jinyiwei were surprised. Why did their master follow Miss Ling?

Could it be that the master believed what Miss Ling said?

As soon as this thought came up, everyone shook their heads immediately. Impossible!

Their master is so smart and wise, how could he believe such a ridiculous thing.

As soon as he thought of this, he saw Commander Ning suddenly stopped.

Everyone thought, I said it, how could the master believe that there was silver hidden in the toilet.

Ning Chuyi found that his Jinyiwei did not follow, turned around and said coldly, "Why don't you follow..."

The Jinyiwei looked confused, follow?

Where to go?

They saw the southwest corner from the corner of their eyes, and they suddenly realized it at the same time.

Could it be that the master wanted to change clothes in the toilet.

But how to let them follow?

Oh, I understand, the master must feel embarrassed in the public eye.

But a bunch of grown men going to the toilet together, this is too much.

Although everyone grumbled in their hearts, facing the cold eyes of the adults, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction.

They could only bite the bullet and follow them bitterly.

Ling Chu didn't know what the Jinyiwei were thinking. She walked to the toilet to identify it, and then walked in.

The Jinyiwei who followed behind saw that she entered a toilet used by men, and pointed at Ling Chu's back with trembling fingers, and opened and closed his lips for a long time but couldn't say a word.
