I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 4 Impossible

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

Lingchu asked the 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 Guan 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, the person who knew that the money was gone would probably not let him go.

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.

 The other silver would never be found. After all, he hid it so secretly that no one knew about it except himself.

The minister and others widened their eyes in surprise.

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

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

It's all Lingchu's disaster star. As soon as she returned home, Jin Yiwei came to search her 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.

Lingchu 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 a piece of dough that can be rounded and flattened by others.

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

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

Those Jinyi guards saw that she could really find money with hexagram skills, and 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 had excellent 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.

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

 No one present understands the hexagrams.

 Seeing Ling Chu throw the copper plate six times in a row, he pointed to the southwest corner with a look of surprise 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.

Mrs. Tai's heart tightened, and she turned around and glared at 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 not earned from the property in the house. Your grandfather was not greedy at all, so there is no money left! If you continue to make trouble! , can you bear to offend my lord?"

Although the second lady didn't know if there was any other money hidden in the mansion, she was worried about what if there was, so she said in a strange way, "That's right, Ling Yatou, even if you are dissatisfied that the mansion allows you to stay in Xuanqing for so many years before you can You can take her back, but you can't be so ignorant and take advantage of the opportunity to act mischievously in the house.

It's okay 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 huts in the southwest corner."

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

Lingchu'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."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. Although some poor families would bury copper plates in their huts, this was the residence of the Minister of Hubu. Ling Shangshu was greedy for ink, not a hundred or dozens of taels, but a full three million taels.

 The entire Hubu Shangshu Mansion is so big, where can’t we hide money? The dignified Minister of Household Affairs would not imitate those poor people who have no place to hide money and hide such a huge sum of money in the hut!

Those Jinyi guards had disappointment on their faces. 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.

Lingchu ignored everyone and turned around and walked toward the southwest corner.

 No one believed that there was a huge sum of money hidden in the hut, and everyone stood still.

However, unexpectedly, a tall and tall figure followed up.

Those Jinyi guards looked surprised. Why did they follow Miss Ling?

Haven't you believed Miss Ling's words?

As soon as this idea came up, everyone immediately shook their heads, impossible!

They adults are so smart and wise, how could they believe such ridiculous things.

Just when he thought about this, he saw Commander Ning suddenly stop.

 Everyone is thinking, let’s just say, how could you believe that Ling Shangshu would hide a large sum of money in the latrine?

Ning Chuyi found that his Jin Yiwei had not followed him, so he turned around and said coldly, "Why don't you follow me..."

Although no one believed that there was a huge sum of money hidden in the latrine, no one dared to express their dissatisfaction in the face of Ning Chuyi's cold gaze.

I could only bite the bullet and followed reluctantly.

Lingchu didn't know what those Jin Yiwei were thinking. She walked to the latrine, checked it out, and walked inside.

The Jin Yiwei who followed behind saw Ling Chu entering the latrine, and Lord Ning also followed him in, and couldn't help but look at each other.

Since some details in this chapter were not handled well, some changes were made.
