Outside the capital.
On the official road, a group of more than a dozen Jinyi guards wearing flying fish uniforms and embroidered spring knives on their waists were riding towards the capital at high speed.
A man wearing a Feiyu suit came face to face and was riding a fast horse in a hurry. When he saw the other party's group, the man's expression was instantly overjoyed.
Busy Ce immediately stepped forward and saluted the serious-looking man in the lead, "I've met you, sir."
Ning Chuyi pulled the reins and stopped the horse, frowning and looking at Wei Feng opposite, "Why did you leave the capital?"
Wei Feng did not expect to meet Ning Chuyi as soon as he left the capital, and said hurriedly, "Sir, my brothers saw Miss Ling leaving the capital with the maid she rescued from Boss Yao."
Upon hearing that Ling Chu was leaving the capital, Ning Chuyi had no reaction and waited expressionlessly for Wei Feng to continue.
Ning Chuyi said nothing, and the dozen or so guards behind him were also silent.
There were obviously ten people and a dozen horses standing opposite, but the scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Wei Feng suddenly felt a pressure coming towards him.
Seeing that Ning Chuyi was still waiting for his next words, he swallowed quickly and said cautiously, "Miss Ling's maid is called Xia Zhi. I heard that Miss Ling took that maid back to the Xia family."
Seeing Ning Chuyi looking at him expressionlessly, Wei Feng's heart tightened and he quickly speeded up his speech, "My subordinates heard from their brothers that Hu Batian left the capital with several people, and they also went there." It was the Xia family.
The subordinates were worried that something might happen to Miss Ling, so they thought of rushing over to take a look. "
After saying it in one breath, Wei Feng's heart was hanging in the air.
The imperial treasury was empty, and the emperor valued Miss Ling very much since he knew that she could use hexagram skills to find hidden silver that even the imperial guards could not find.
The emperor also told the commander to pay more attention to Miss Ling every day and not to let anything happen to her.
Your Excellency is leaving the capital for business. Before leaving the capital, he was told to pay attention to Miss Ling's movements.
Wei Feng handed over the matter to his subordinate Jin Yiwei. The Jin Yiwei who was responsible for keeping an eye on Ling Chu's movements originally thought that she was just a little girl who stayed behind the scenes, so he didn't pay much attention to her.
Unexpectedly, Miss Ling not only left the house but also took a maid with her and left the capital alone.
The Jin Yiwei was worried that something might happen to her, so he hurriedly informed Wei Feng.
Wei Feng didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he heard that Hu Batian suddenly left the capital with someone who was going with Ling Chu, he hurriedly chased him out of the capital.
Hearing that Ling Chu only brought one maid out of the capital, Yin Sha frowned. Although Miss Ling was not completely unable to protect herself.
But that Hu Batian was not a good person, and he also brought several thugs, and he was outside the capital. If Hu Batian had any evil intentions, he would be in trouble.
Yin Sha, who had always been silent, suddenly said, "Sir, nothing can happen to Miss Ling."
Ning Chuyi said nothing, pulled the reins with a sullen face, and turned the horse's head.
Miss Ling really can't have anything happen to her.
There is no money in the treasury, and the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the greedy moths in the court. Maybe it won't be long before the emperor will take action to clean up a group of moths.
Since some officials in the court knew that corruption was forbidden, they still dared to take risks, so they were naturally cautious in what they did.
Those who are greedy for money will go to great lengths to hide it.
As Jin Yiwei, although they were used to ransacking homes, they also had a lot of experience collecting and hiding silver. But sometimes they will inevitably fail to find where the money that has been corrupted is hidden.
Sometimes the emperor not only stipulated the amount of money they would seize, but also set a time limit.
Although they searched a lot of business, it was not an easy task to find the amount specified by the emperor within the specified time, and they were inevitably exhausted at times.
Miss Ling can use hexagrams to calculate the location of the hidden silver, which can help them reduce a lot of difficulties.
Wei Feng was stunned when he saw that Ning Chuyi was going to Xia's house to find Miss Ling in person.
When the adults go out to the capital for business, they must enter the palace as soon as possible to reply to the emperor when they return to the capital. He thought that even if the adults were worried about Miss Ling, they would at most let him take people to the Xia family, and he would go into the palace to see the emperor.
Unexpectedly, instead of returning to the palace, the Lord would go to the Xia family in person.
Seeing that Wei Feng was still in a daze, Yin Sha glared at him angrily, "If you don't hurry up and lead the way, why are you still dazed? You'd better pray that Miss Ling is okay, otherwise I'll see if your skin will be peeled off. Come down."
Wei Feng smiled bitterly and did not dare to complain. The Lord asked him to pay attention to Miss Ling's safety before leaving Beijing, but he was not dedicated enough to this matter.
But he didn't expect that Miss Ling would stay in the capital and suddenly leave the capital alone with a maid.
Wei Feng sighed, resigned to his fate, and rode forward to lead the way for Ning Chuyi.
…
Seeing that Xia Daqing's family was shameless, Hu Batian wanted to rob Miss Ling's maid's family property.
He was happy to see the result, and stood aside with the few thugs who followed him to watch the fun.
Xia Daqing owed a large amount of debt to the gambling house. If her niece took away the contents of the box, Xia Daqing probably would not be able to spend so much money to repay the debt.
Secretly, Hu Batian wanted Xia Daqing to grab the box.
After he got the box, he asked Xia Daqing to use the money to pay off the debt.
As for whether Miss Ling and her maid would be bullied by Xia Daqing's family, Hu Batian didn't care.
Even if the commander knew about this, he was not afraid.
Xia Zhi was from Ling Chu, but he was not the one who robbed her family property. After all, he took the contract from Xia Daqing to pay off the debt, instead of directly robbing Xia Zhi, so he can't be blamed for this.
When Ling Chu saw Xia Daqing, Liu, and two children approaching, he laughed sarcastically, "Why, you don't even want to lose face and want to rob me directly?"
Xia Daqing did not respond to Ling Chu's words. Although he didn't want to spread the news about robbing his niece's family property, he couldn't care so much now.
Hu Batian had been watching with so many thugs. Although he hadn't asked him to pay off the debt yet, he knew that Hu Batian would not let him go if he couldn't get the money.
Those who owed huge gambling debts to Changlefang and could not repay their money had their hands chopped off or their hand tendons and hamstrings severed.
Those who could not bear the pain of being disabled eventually committed suicide.
Reputation is nothing compared to your own life.
For the current plan, the most important thing is to get the money in Xia Zhi's hands and pay off the debt.
His elder brother and sister-in-law were all dead, and only a girl like Xia Zhi was left.
After paying off his gambling debt, he will marry that dead girl far away.
It won't be long before no one will remember that he once robbed his niece's property.
Xia Daqing had a good idea, but he didn't expect that Ling Chu was not the helpless girl he thought.
Seeing Xia Daqing, Liu and others surrounding them and trying to grab the box in Xia Zhi's hand, Ling Chu pulled Xia Zhi over and pushed her behind him.
He quickly took out a small hammer from his sleeve pocket, raised his hand, and aimed it at Xia Daqing's knee.
Xia Dongqiao was startled when he saw the hammer and wanted to warn his father to be careful.
Unfortunately it's too late.
Xia Daqing felt a sharp pain in his knees and fell to the ground with a scream.
