Seeing Ling Chu enter the men's latrine, the Jinyi guards were shocked enough, but when they saw Commander Ning follow him into the same latrine.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
It’s over. Could it be that their adults have some special hobbies?
That Miss Ling's appearance is really outstanding, and they are at a young age. Could it be that they want to take the opportunity to do something to Miss Ling in the latrine...?
These Jin Yiwei thought they had broken through their master's secret and did not dare to follow him. They all stood outside the latrine to keep watch.
Ling Chu didn't know that those Jinyi guards had misunderstood her and Master Ning.
After she entered the hut, she pretended to observe her surroundings, then lowered her head and looked at her feet.
This latrine is fairly clean. After all, it is the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Even the floor of the latrine is paved with floor tiles. And it looks like the floor tiles were recently laid.
Ling Chu raised his foot and stamped hard.
She listened carefully to identify the noise, but actually she didn't hear anything wrong. However, she turned around and said to Commander Ning who was standing aside seriously, "Master Ning, there should be something hidden down here."
Ling Chu knew that there was something underneath through the system scan, but Ning Chuyi had strong martial arts skills and extraordinary hearing. From the sound just now, he vaguely heard something unusual.
Ning Chuyi nodded and turned around to let his men pry open the floor tiles, but found that none of the royal guards came with him.
He frowned and walked out.
He quickly turned around and walked back, followed by a group of Jinyi guards holding hoes and shovels.
When these Jin Yiwei saw that their masters and Miss Ling were well-dressed, they realized that they had misunderstood.
They secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when they heard Miss Ling asking them to pry open the floor tiles, they looked shocked again.
Ning Chuyi's confidant Wei Feng frowned and said, "Sir, what are you doing... prying off the floor tiles?"
Another round-faced Jin Yiwei said with an unhappy expression, "Miss Ling, you don't think there is really money buried in this smelly latrine, do you?"
"That's right, that's millions of taels of silver, not dozens of copper plates. Who would bury such a huge sum of money in a place like this?"
…
Ling Chu glanced at them lightly, "If it wasn't hidden enough, why couldn't you find it?"
"As for whether it is really hidden under here, won't you know if you start digging?"
Those Jinyi guards choked, unable to refute these words.
Who told them that they really searched twice and couldn't find it.
Ning Chuyi glanced at these men and said calmly, "Okay, let's do it."
Even if the commanders still didn't believe it, they didn't dare to disobey the orders, so they had to dig with their tools.
Soon, the floor tiles were pried open and after half an hour of digging, a corner of a black painted box was exposed.
Those Jin Yiwei were surprised. Could it be that there was really money hidden there?
There was an anxious Jin Yiwei who shoveled away the soil in twos and twos. When he saw the exposed box, he moved his hand and smashed the lock hanging on it with a hoe.
I couldn't wait to open the lid of the box, revealing a bunch of white silver.
At that moment, everyone thought that Ling Shangshu was really a pervert, and he actually hid such a huge sum of money in a dirty place like a latrine.
Eunuch Cao and Commander Ning were relieved when the silver was found, and ordered Jin Yi to continue digging while they waited outside.
Although the latrine was fairly clean and there was almost no smell, no one would be willing to stay in a place like this if it wasn't for changing clothes.
They all left, so naturally Ling Chu wouldn't stay.
Seeing that Commander Ning asked them to stand far away, Ling Chu hesitated for a moment and stepped forward, "It will take a long time to dig out the money. I'll find someone to move some tables and chairs. You guys can have a rest."
Xu Shi saw that Ling Chu had helped a lot, and Ning Chuyi's attitude was quite gentle, "There is no need for the girl to go in person for such a small matter."
As a confidant, the master didn't need to say anything. Wei Feng immediately ordered the Jinyi guards around him, "You guys, hurry up and bring some tables and chairs."
Lingchu saw those Jin Yiwei retreating quickly and could only swallow back the words that came to his mouth.
Glancing at the last red dot on the virtual screen, my mind started racing.
How to deal with this last piece of Tibetan silver?
Just when Ling Chu was thinking about it, he discovered that the red dot was moving in her current direction.
When he saw Jin Yiwei carrying a table and two armchairs, the corners of Ling Chu's mouth twitched again and again.
Very good, just when I was about to doze off, someone brought me a pillow.
Save her a headache.
Among those present, apart from Commander Ning, only Eunuch Cao was qualified to sit.
Eunuch Cao was indeed tired and just wanted to sit down and take a rest. But when he saw the armchair, he immediately frowned, "The legs of the armchair are one section too short, and the armrests have a few holes. And the table, not to mention the paint peeling off, is full of pits and missing parts. It has a corner, and its four legs are still different lengths..."
As a celebrity around the emperor, Eunuch Cao had never seen any good things in the palace. When he suddenly saw these shabby things, he naturally felt disgusted.
The few Jin Yiwei who were moving tables and chairs looked down and saw that it was true.
In their hurry, they didn't look carefully at all. Seeing that the tables and chairs were relatively clean, they moved them over easily.
I didn't expect that these tables and chairs were in such a state of ruin, but the dignified Household Secretary's Mansion was still in the house.
When Ning Shangshu saw the tables and chairs brought over by Jin Yiwei, his expression changed a long time ago, but he soon returned to normal.
He said to everyone with a normal expression, "This is something used by the ancestors of the Ling family. I keep it just for one more thought." He then motioned to the butler, "Why don't you take it down quickly and replace it with some tables and chairs?"
Ling Chu frowned.
She didn't know why her grandfather was still going all the way until now.
Although money is good, if you don't even have your life, no matter how much money you have, what's the point?
She didn't believe that her grandfather wouldn't understand such a simple truth.
Unless he had some hidden agenda for the money he was greedy for.
Seeing the imperial edict in the hands of the young eunuch, Ling Chu couldn't ignore it. After all, it was related to the lives of more than a hundred people in the Shangshu Mansion.
As long as the greedy money is handed over to the emperor in full, maybe he can still get the emperor's side.
She didn't come across time just to die.
Seeing that the waiters were about to carry the tables and chairs away, Ling Chu had to stand up and said, "Wait a minute..."
When Ling Shangshu saw her, the veins on his forehead jumped again and again. He wanted to stop her, but he was worried about arousing suspicion, so he had to wink at the lady beside him.
The madam was anxious, but she could only suppress her anger and shouted in a deep voice, "Ling Yatou, grandma is tired. Come and help grandma."
Ling Chu's eyes flashed and he said with a sweet face, "Grandma, I'll be here right away."
Just when Ling Shangshu and Mrs. Tai were relieved, they saw Ling Chu suddenly staggered, tilted his body, and suddenly hit the table.
Bang.
The already broken table suddenly hit the ground heavily.
Under the sun, the broken corners and legs of the table shone with a bright golden light.
When everyone looked at it carefully, their eyes almost popped out.
Who would have thought that this shabby table is actually made of gold!
