No one expected that the second lady would suddenly make a fuss, and the whole scene fell silent.
The second lady fell so hard that she couldn't get up for a long time.
"Mom, are you okay?"
The second young master, Ling Luo, was worried. When the Jinyi guard who was holding him was not paying attention, he broke free from the big hand that was restraining him and hurriedly ran towards the second lady.
The second girl was weak and couldn't break free. In anger, she yelled and cursed at Ling Chu, "Sister, my mother is an elder after all, how could you cause her to fall? They say that you punish the six relatives. I don't believe it at first, but you just returned home today, we The whole family will be in bad luck soon. Why don't you stay in Xuanqing Temple and come back to harm others..."
After hearing the words of the Second Madam and Ling Luo, everyone looked at Ling Chu with indifference, disgust, and fear...but they just didn't care.
The eldest lady was protecting the third girl Ling Qing tightly, but when she heard this, she stopped.
He turned to look at the eldest daughter with a worried look on his face.
However, no one noticed that something seemed to flash in her eyes.
Ling Chu raised his eyes and glanced calmly at Mr. Dong who was protecting the third girl and the eldest man who was supporting his wife. She didn't have the slightest ripple in her heart towards these parents.
He turned around and glanced at the second girl coldly, and said in a cold voice, "It was not me who caused your mother to fall. She asked for it. As for the house raid, it has nothing to do with me. This is my first time today. When you go back home, don't try to put the blame on me. If you don't welcome me back, then I'll just leave."
Seeing Ling Chu turn around and leave, the second girl was very angry, "You are a disaster star. You have caused such misery to our whole family. If you still want to leave, don't even think about it."
Ling Chu stopped.
But it wasn't because the second girl wouldn't let her go.
But the commander of the Imperial Guards, who had a solemn expression on his face, happened to be blocking her way.
Ling Chu raised his eyes and glanced at him. Seeing that he was silent, he was about to walk around him and walk out.
Unexpectedly, Commander Ning took the initiative to get out of the way.
Ling Chu was surprised, but when he looked up, he found that the courtyard outside was surrounded by guards wearing embroidered spring knives.
Ling Chu twitched the corner of her mouth. She knew very well that the commander did not mean to let her leave. The reason why he was kind enough to let her go was because he knew that she could not leave the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.
Ling Chu couldn't help but raise her head and glare at him, but she couldn't blame this savior, so she could only walk out without saying a word.
When Ning Chuyi met Ling Chu, he already discovered that she was the girl he saved on the way back to Beijing.
I just didn't expect that she turned out to be the granddaughter of Shangshu Hube.
But even if he knew it now, he didn't take it to heart.
The second lady finally got up and raised her feet, wanting to step forward to cause trouble for Ling Chu.
But Commander Ning coldly ordered his Jin Yiwei to escort everyone outside.
Although they are unwilling to do so, the people in Shangshu Mansion are no match for these Jin Yiwei who are highly skilled in martial arts.
Under the push and shove, these pampered people all described themselves as embarrassed.
Especially when they saw Ling Chu standing aside as if nothing had happened, everyone stared at her with even more anger.
Ling Shangshu was forced to be escorted to the courtyard, and he said to Commander Ning with an angry look on his face, "Master Ning, you are so insulting to me, I will definitely go to the emperor to testify against you..."
Ning Chuyi didn't take his threat seriously and coldly ordered his subordinates, "Search the entire government and be sure to find the silver."
After receiving the order, the imperial guards immediately rushed towards the house.
Seeing this, everyone was anxious and angry, and instinctively wanted to rush forward to stop the search by the Jin Yiwei.
But those Jin Yiwei who were left behind to take care of them pulled out their embroidered spring knives with a swipe.
Seeing the murderous looks on the faces of the Jin Yiwei, everyone was timid and did not dare to cause trouble again.
She didn't have the guts to get angry at Jin Yiwei, but the second lady turned around and wanted to vent her anger on Ling Chu.
But just as she opened her mouth, the Jin Yiwei next to her said coldly, "Who dares to make trouble again? Don't blame me for not having eyes on the knife in my hand."
The second lady choked and could only stop reluctantly.
Ling Chu glanced at her casually and was too lazy to talk to her.
He sighed in his heart. The original owner had lived in Xuanqing Temple since he was a child and had never seen these relatives, let alone understood them.
As for her, let alone that.
After traveling through time, I was on the road for the past two days and only returned to Shangshu Mansion last night.
Therefore, like the original owner, she did not understand any of these relatives.
She couldn't tell whether her grandfather was really greedy for three million taels.
However, since Commander Ning has produced evidence, no matter whether this matter is true or not, I am afraid that the whole government will be doomed.
Although Ling Chu was worried, there was nothing he could do.
Time passed in agony of waiting, and Jin Yiwei brought many boxes and cages one after another.
However, in addition to precious collections of paintings, calligraphy, porcelain, etc., only 50,000 taels of silver were found in those boxes.
Commander Ning glanced at the boxes expressionlessly and said coldly, "Ling Shangshu, I advise you to hand over the money as soon as possible, otherwise Ning will not mind demolishing your mansion."
Ling Shangshu was originally worried, but seeing the boxes brought over by the Jin Yiwei, the uneasiness in his heart had long since dissipated.
"You have already searched. I only have 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver in my house. Where did I get the millions? I, Ling Mao, have been an official for many years. Although I am not a clean-blooded person, I am by no means a corrupt person."
Seeing that Ling Shangshu still had the same attitude, Commander Ning could only order another search throughout the government.
But those royal guards almost turned the entire Shangshu Mansion upside down, and apart from the prince's little silver and collections, they only found the dowries of a few ladies.
As for the three million taels, they are still missing.
Ling Shangshu put his worries back in his mind and was already thinking about how to read a copy of Commander Ning in front of the emperor.
"Master Ning, have you found the silver?" At this moment, a big eunuch holding a whisk in his hand was walking quickly, followed by two little eunuchs.
Just when Lingchu saw these three eunuchs, the system that had been missing since the time travel suddenly appeared, warning frantically in his mind.
【Ding! The system upgrade is completed. 】
[Warning host! Warn the host! ! Warn the host! ! ! 】
[Level 1 danger detected, please host to deal with it immediately! 】
Ling Chu's expression changed, and he quickly used his consciousness to bring up the virtual screen, and then quickly clicked to open the warning message he received.
The message was not long, just a few lines in bold red font, but it was as shocking as blood.
[Name: Ling Chu]
[Remaining life span: one hour]
[Cause of death: Grandfather embezzled huge sums of money and beheaded everyone in his family! 】
[Trigger the house raiding task. 】
[Ask the host to complete the task, find out the money that is greedy for ink, and reverse the fate. 】
[The mission failed, the host was beheaded, and the system will be automatically deactivated. 】
According to the system scan, what the young eunuch held in his hand was the emperor's beheading decree.
Ling Chu hesitated in his heart.
She wanted to follow the system's warnings, complete the task, and save her life.
Or take the opportunity to die and see if you can take the opportunity to travel back to modern times?
