Everyone present, except Ling Chu, did not have yin and yang eyes, so naturally they could not hear what Li Lingmu said.
Although the ghost could not be seen, everyone could feel the air around them being sometimes gusty and sometimes cold, which made people tremble in their hearts.
And Miss Ling, the expression on her face changes like a palette. It made people feel uneasy, but they couldn't help but wonder what she heard the ghost say.
Especially Prince Jing, although he was strangled by the ghost, after being rescued by Ling Chu and protected by Ning Chuyi, he regained his fearless character.
He repeatedly urged Ling Chu to tell the story.
Ling Chu did not refuse and told everything about Li Lingmu.
After everyone listened, they finally understood why Miss Ling looked so weird.
Li Lingmu was a fourth-grade Mingwei general, but he was unexpectedly blind.
To put it bluntly, his death was not unjust.
He was very devoted to the lieutenant general, but he did not realize that the other general had turned into an ambitious white-eyed wolf. Not only did he want to seize his military power and the property of his family, he even caused more than a hundred people in his family to be beheaded. .
Li Lingmu's family, whether before his death or after his death, has been accused of being embezzled from military pay and having liaisons with foreign enemies for so many years, but Wu Yuanji has enjoyed all the glory and wealth because of it.
This is really a life-and-death feud.
No wonder Li Lingmu was so angry that he choked Prince Jing when he heard the words he scolded him.
Prince Jing was puzzled, "Wu Yuanji caused so much harm to Li Lingmu's family. Why is he still alive and well after so many years? Didn't he seek revenge on him?"
Ling Chu was also curious. The ghost of Li Lingmu was so powerful that it could turn into reality and pinch Prince Jing's neck. It was unreasonable not to go after his enemy.
Li Lingmu smiled bitterly, "After I died, I learned that Vice General Wu framed me, and I immediately went to seek revenge on him. But at that time, I had just died, and my soul had no power at all. Although I hated Vice General Wu, I didn't have any power at all. You can't touch him, you can't move him at all.
Day and night I watched him enjoy all the glory and wealth, but I was ruined by him. The resentment in my heart accumulated more and more. Later, I found that my soul could touch the physical body, so I went to Wu Yuanji for revenge.
But Lieutenant General Wu, perhaps with a guilty conscience, was afraid that I would seek revenge on him after my death, so he always wore a protective jade pendant with him day and night, so I couldn't get close to him at all. "
Ling Chu asked him, "Do you have evidence that Wu Yuanji framed you? If not, if we want to avenge you, we probably have to take a long-term approach."
Li Lingmu nodded, "After I died, although I couldn't take revenge, I always followed Lieutenant General Wu. He spent a lot of the property he obtained from my house, but some of it remained. I know where he hid it. Also, I also know where he has hidden the letters he had with foreigners, and I can take you to find them.
As long as you can help me expose Wu Yuanji's true face and let him get the end he deserves, all my properties can be left to your disposal. "
Ling Chu relayed his words to everyone.
Prince Jing immediately geared up, "In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's go find that Wu Yuanji now."
Ning Chuyi didn't object. Wu Yuanji dared to have an affair with a foreigner, which was against the emperor's taboo. If this person is not eliminated, there is no telling what kind of harm it will cause in the future.
Since Wu Yuanji is wanted to be captured, it is natural to seize the opportunity to avoid leaking the news and allowing him to take the opportunity to escape.
Ning Chuyi immediately entered the palace, told the emperor the whole story, and came back with an imperial edict.
The group immediately rushed to Wu Mansion.
After Wu Yuanji conspired to seize Li Lingmu's military power, he had been living like a duck in water. However, with the death of the late emperor and the current throne, many officials in the court changed.
Wu Yuanji was a military general in the former dynasty, but his military power could not be retained. Now he only serves as a sixth-rank Yuanwai Lang in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Today happened to be a holiday. When Wu Yuanji saw the commander of the Jin Yiwei leading his men into his residence, his face turned pale with fear.
However, after being an official for many years, Wu Yuanji panicked for a moment, but Wu Yuanji quickly calmed down.
With a smile on his face, he asked Ning Chuyi, "I don't know what the official did, so that Lord Ning came here."
Ning Chuyi ignored him and directly took out the imperial edict and read it out.
When he heard the charges listed in the imperial edict, Wu Yuanji knelt on the ground and shouted that he was wronged.
Prince Jing glanced at him sideways, "Wu Yuanwai, you beheaded General Mingwei General Li Lingmu's family, and now he has asked us to come and take revenge on you."
When he heard Li Lingmu's name, Wu Yuanwai's expression changed, but he returned to normal in the blink of an eye, "Prince Jing is joking. General Mingwei and I have no grievances, so how could he seek revenge from us?"
Li Lingmu has been dead for many years, and no one knows what happened back then. No matter what happens now, he still has the final say.
Ning Chuyi ignored Wu Yuanwai and directly ordered the Jin Yiwei to search his house.
Wu Yuanwai immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Mr. Ning, I was wronged. The officer did not commit half of the charges. You cannot search my residence."
The emperor has already issued an order, so how could Wu Yuanwai stop those imperial guards?
Since no money was found in General Mingwei's mansion, Prince Jing proposed to compete with Ling Chu again.
Ling Chu did not agree this time and only said that he would compete with him again next time he had a chance.
Then he glanced at Prince Jing's neck pointedly.
It was intended to remind him that Li Lingmu's ghost knew where Wu Yuanwai's things were hidden.
Although he failed to compete with Miss Ling, Prince Jin still enthusiastically took the ten imperial guards he had picked out earlier to search the house.
Not long after, about 30,000 taels of silver were found from the warehouse in Wu Yuanwai's house.
Wu Yuanwai's son was shocked and angry, and stepped forward to stop him, "Prince Jing, I got this money from business, and I am not a greedy person. You can't take it away."
Prince Jing almost rolled his eyes at him. Is Wu Yuanwai's son stupid? The emperor ordered his family to be confiscated, so how could he leave this money to them?
However, apart from the 30,000 taels of silver, Jin Yiwei only found some dowries belonging to the women of the Wu family, as well as some inexpensive collections.
The items found seemed to be the property of an ordinary family, nothing special.
Ning Chuyi frowned. Before he entered the palace to find the emperor to issue an order, he made a special trip back to the Jinyiwei Yamen to investigate Wu Yuanji's information with the Jinyiwei who was responsible for collecting information.
In these years, Wu Yuanji had no military power in his hands and was only a low-level official, not satisfied with his monthly salary. Not only did he do business secretly in private, but he also used his status as an official to amass countless wealth.
Now it seems that those things must have been hidden by Wu Yuanji in a very hidden place, so that neither Prince Jing nor Jin Yiwei could find them.
"Miss Ling, it looks like I'm going to trouble you to take action..."
