Chapter 6: Cangdang goes to jail

 Rao is a well-informed Eunuch Cao. When he saw the gold exposed on the table, he was also surprised.

Who would have thought that the junk that he despised so much would actually have gold hidden inside.

When Ling Shangshu saw the golden light, he closed his eyes and slumped his shoulders, as if all the energy and energy in his body had been sucked away.

After Ling Chu stabilized his body, he stood aside pretending to be at a loss.

Commander Ning paused for a moment on Ling Chu, then lowered his eyes and glanced over the dazzling golden table.

With a wave of his hand, the long sword swiped across the other two chairs.

 The cut section also revealed a dazzling golden light.

 The second lady saw the gold exposed, as if someone was digging out her heart with a knife.

The eyes he stared at Ling Chu were as if they were tempered with poison.

Although the other ladies were not as obvious as the Second Madam, they did not have the slightest good feelings towards Ling Chuna at this time.

This big girl must be crazy. The royal guards searched for a long time and couldn't find any money at all.

It would be better for her to stand up on her own and help Jin Yiwei to copy his own home.

It's good now, all the valuable things in the house have been confiscated.

Even if they can escape and are not beheaded by the emperor, what will their family eat and drink in the future?

As expected, they are the bad luck star who is born to punish their six relatives. This time they will be in bad luck.

Ling Chu ignored everyone’s resentful looks.

Hearing the sound of danger being cleared in his mind, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

 Ning Chuyi and Eunuch Cao are also in a good mood.

 The silver and gold found from the red-painted pillars and huts, plus the set of tables and chairs made of gold, totaled more than three million taels.

 This trip, I can finally pay homage to the emperor.

Commander Ning waved to the Jin Yiwei beside him, "Carry everything into the palace."

He then said coldly to everyone in the Shangshu Mansion with an expressionless face, "Take them all to the Ministry of Punishment..."

When the second lady heard this, she was shocked. She no longer cared about the gold and silver, and said anxiously, "Master Ning, didn't you say that as long as we hand over the silver, you will let us go?"

Commander Ning gave her a cold look, "I only promised to plead with the emperor, but I never said that I would let you go now."

 The second lady choked. Although she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say another word in the face of that cold gaze.

Ling Chu glanced at the second lady, turned around and commanded Ning, "Master Ning, there is an old saying: No one has any faults. If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no great virtue.

My grandfather must have been confused for a moment and made a big mistake. Although beheading us would not be an injustice. But in doing so, we also lost the opportunity to make corrections.

It would be better to be accommodating to my grandfather, and I believe that I will try my best to make up for the mistakes he made in the future.

 We are also willing to hand over all the family property to compensate for the losses caused by our grandfather.

In addition, if your Excellency encounters something like today again in the future, Lingchu will definitely do his best to help you. I just ask you to help me beg for mercy in front of the emperor..."

After hearing this, the second lady became angry and said, "Girl, what qualifications do you have to make the decision to hand over all the family property..."

Ling Chu glanced at the second lady as if she were an idiot.

“Second aunt, so you would rather let your grandparents and this whole family die than hand over the family property?”

The second lady was so shocked by Ling Chu's straightforward words that her face turned red, but she couldn't say a word.

Commander Ning frowned, "Do you think the Jinyi Guards ransacked the house and could still leave the property to you?"

The emperor has always hated corrupt officials. The royal guards ransacked the house and not only beheaded him, but also confiscated all the family property.

 The second lady actually had a whim and wanted to leave the family property.

Commander Ning ignored the second lady, whose face was green and black. Instead, he took a deep look at Miss Ling, but said nothing more. The treasury is empty, and the emperor is short of money.

Miss Ling’s ability to use hexagrams to find silver is quite good.

 It would be a pity if someone was killed.

Ling Chu saw that Commander Ning did not respond to her previous words, and felt unsure.

 She said everything that needed to be said. As for the outcome, we can only leave it to fate.

Ling Chu originally didn't want to pay attention to the so-called relatives of Shangshufu whose family had never met before.

 She is a soul that has traveled through time and has no feelings for them.

If it weren't for her own life, and she had inherited the body of the original owner, she wouldn't bother to care about the life and death of everyone in the Shangshu Mansion.

In ancient times, when one person committed a crime, a whole family was implicated.

Ling Shangshu corrupted three million taels of ink. Regardless of the reason, it is an indisputable fact that he corrupted ink.

Hence, more than a hundred people in the entire government were all taken to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to wait for the emperor's fate.

Some Jin Yiwei found ropes and **** the hands of everyone from Ling Shangshu to the maids and women, and then they were strung together in a long line and escorted to the Ministry of Punishment.

On the other hand, Ling Chu, Xu Ning, commander-in-chief, did not let anyone tie her up for the sake of helping her find the money.

 Just let her follow him on her own initiative and not run away privately.

The second lady and the others felt jealous and angry when they saw that Jin Yiwei had not **** the eldest girl. That disaster caused so much misfortune to the whole family, but she didn't expect that she would act like a normal person.

Lingchu didn't expect that she would receive preferential treatment. Although she was a little surprised, she would never wrong herself. Since Jin Yiwei did not tie her up, she would not foolishly ask to be treated the same as everyone else in Shangshu Mansion.

  He turned a blind eye to the second lady and their resentful looks.



As long as she doesn't care, no one can hurt her.

 After walking out of the gate, everyone saw that the heavy red painted door was closed by the royal guards and sealed. Many people had red eyes and even wiped away tears.

Ling Chu was not at all sad. The original owner grew up in Xuanqingguan since he was a child and had never been back. Naturally, he had no feelings for Shangshu Mansion.

As for her, although she stayed one night last night, it was impossible for her to have any feelings for this mansion in such a short time.

There were a lot of people watching the excitement outside the gate of Shangshu Mansion. When they saw the team being escorted out, they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

The Second Madam and the others had never encountered this kind of thing before. They felt that they had lost all their face in this life. They could only hang their heads and cover their heads and faces with their wide sleeves.

 They are all prisoners, so naturally they cannot take a car and have to walk.

Along the way, listening to all kinds of discussions, everyone's face was as pale as a ghost.

Only Ling Chu kept his back straight and his expression remained unchanged all the way.

Although it was her grandfather who was greedy for ink, she believed that she had done nothing wrong. She had no guilt in her heart and naturally she would not feel ashamed.

With great difficulty, we walked through the streets and alleys and finally arrived at the Ministry of Justice.

 However, in places like this, no one will feel relieved.

 Everyone has a fear in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

But no matter how reluctant they were, they were still taken into the prison by the jailer.

It’s not easy to write a new book, so I hope all book friends will support me.
