I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 152

 The five doctors left, and the third lady and several other ladies supported Dong and left as well.

The remaining two maids, Xia Zhi and Liu Xiangju, looked helplessly at the dying Ling Chu. Under repeated blows, the two maids became more and more desperate.

Liu Xiangju choked with sobs and wiped Ling Chu's face with a handkerchief. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she turned around, "Xia Zhi, those doctors can't cure the girl, but the imperial doctors are highly skilled in medicine, so they must be able to find a way."

Xia Zhi also became happy, "Yes, the imperial doctor can definitely cure it."

 The two girls were only happy for a while, and then their mood became depressed again.

"But we don't know the imperial doctor. The eldest master and the others have lost their official status now, and they are not qualified to ask for an imperial doctor."

But neither of them could bear to watch Ling Chu pass away like this, and they were desperately thinking of other ways to save her.

“Xia Zhi, do you still remember the commander of the Royal Guards? Do you think he would be willing to help us hire a doctor?”

Xia Zhi stood up immediately and said, "Whether you are willing or not, you will know after asking. You look at the girl, I will leave the house immediately to ask for help from Mr. Ning."

 “Okay, go quickly.”

Liu Xiangju was guarding Ling Chu when she left the palace during the summer solstice. She knew that this might be the last chance to save her daughter, and silently prayed in her heart that the commander would be willing to help hire an imperial doctor.

 After leaving the mansion at the summer solstice, he drove his carriage straight to the Jinyi Guardhouse.

However, given her status, the identity of the commander of the Jinyi Guards was something she could easily see.

Xia Zhi was helpless and wanted to use money to bribe the gatekeeper and ask him to help Ning Chuyi deliver a message to see him.

 But the boy didn't dare to accept her money at all.

Xia Zhi saw that the boy refused to deliver the message, so he still refused to give up and asked about Ning Chuyi's whereabouts instead.

 But the boy refused to reveal even a single word.

Ning Chuyi has always had a reputation as a murderer in Jinyiwei. Everyone is afraid of him and would not dare to reveal his whereabouts casually.

With no one in sight, Xia Zhi hesitated and could only stay near the Jinyi Guardhouse, planning to wait for Ning Chuyi to come out before begging him.

What Xia Zhi didn't know was that Ning Chuyi was not in the Jinyi Guardhouse at all.

At this time, he was inspecting a splendid jade workshop under the Yin Zuo Bureau, which was specially used to make jade articles for the emperor and the harem.

 A few days ago, Jinxiu Yuzhen handed over a batch of jade articles to the imperial palace. The emperor ordered the eunuchs to give the jade articles to the courtiers and concubines in the harem.

The courtiers and concubines who received the reward found that the quality of the jade was not very good, but they all thought that the treasury was empty and the emperor could not produce high-quality jade as a reward.

No one dares to question the emperor because the reward is not good enough.

 Originally, this matter was over.

Unexpectedly, when Concubine An was sleeping with the emperor, she took advantage of her favor and complained a few words to the emperor, asking the emperor if he was dissatisfied with her.

The emperor asked about the reason, and Concubine An took out the hosta she had just received as a reward.

 Seeing the hosta, which was considered to be of medium quality, the emperor's face sank.

Hearing Concubine An say again that according to the information she obtained, some of the rewards received by the courtiers were not even of average quality, the emperor immediately became furious.

After returning home, the emperor immediately asked the chief **** to investigate. When he found that the quality of the jade he rewarded was not as good as the previous one, he was even more furious.

Since he ascended the throne, the emperor has always hated corruption due to the empty treasury.

He didn't expect that even the banking department of the inner government would dare to act so boldly and dare to hide it from him and pass it off as a good thing. The emperor did not want to tolerate even the slightest bit of corruption in the imperial court. In addition, he wanted to rectify the culture of corruption in the court, so he decided to use Jinxiu Yuzhen as an attack.

The emperor has left Ning Chuyi in charge of the search.

 Xia Zhi was still guarding the Jinyi Guards, and he didn't know that Ning Chuyi was sitting in the Jinxiu Jade Workshop with a golden sword at this time, waiting for the search by his Jinyi Guards.

 Soon, an hour passed.

Wei Feng led a team of royal guards to search the splendid jade treasures, but found nothing unusual. He could only lower his head and confess in front of Ning Chuyi, "Sir, nothing was found."

 The second prince, who was sitting at the top, put the tea cup in his hand on the table next to him with a bang.

"Master Ning, it has been two days, and there is only one day left today. The emperor has issued an imperial edict. If you still can't find it out by the time of You, you, the commander of the Imperial Guard, will not be able to keep your black gauze hat."

Wei Feng was secretly annoyed that the second prince was really going too far.

Since the second prince knew that the emperor had handed over the investigation of the Jinxiu Jade Workshop to their lord, he secretly spread the rumor that the quality of the rewards received by the courtiers and concubines in the harem was getting worse each time.

Then he secretly encouraged the officials of the second prince's faction and the imperial censor to put pressure on the emperor, saying that rewarding such low-quality jade would not only damage the face of the emperor and the court, but also chill the hearts of those meritorious ministers.

If this matter is not handled in time, the impact will be very bad. In the end, the emperor was forced to have no choice but to order Ning Chuyi to deal with the matter within three days.

However, Ning Chuyi took Concubine An's jade hairpin to Jinxiu Yuzhen to investigate the matter thoroughly. Chen Yi, the head steward in charge of the workshop, and several carving masters complained to him, saying that they did not pass off inferior goods as good ones.

And several carving masters said that the hosta of Concubine An was not carved by them.

Ning Chuyi noticed something was wrong, so he found the officials who had received the rewards, collected all the jade articles given by the emperor, and brought them to the workshop.

But the head steward of the workshop and several master carvers all swore that they were not the ones carving these jade articles.

However, Gong Ping, the deputy manager of the workshop, insisted that these jade articles were carved by Master Tian and others.

One party insists that the other party is shoddy, while the other party categorically denies that the jade objects were carved by them.

Things came to a standstill.

Wei Feng was worried that they, the adults, would really lose their hat this time.

Ning Chuyi was not worried about Wei Feng. He knew that Liu Jin, the **** in charge of Jinxiu Yuzhen, was from the emperor, and the chief steward was actually loyal to the queen and the eldest prince.

These two people may be greedy for ink, but Ning Chuyi believes that they don't have the courage to dump a whole batch of jade articles.

Furthermore, as far as he knew, the deputy steward Gong Ping was apparently from the emperor, but he had already been bribed by Concubine An and the second prince.

Ning Chuyi didn't want to get involved in the fight between the eldest prince and the second prince, but the emperor entrusted him with the thorough investigation, so he had to go through this muddy water.

Seeing that today was already the last day, Ning Chuyi could only whisper to Wei Feng, "Go and invite Miss Ling over."

 Seeing that he finally agreed to ask Ling Chu to come over to help, Wei Feng was overjoyed and immediately turned around and left the workshop.

 Although the second prince saw Wei Feng leaving, he didn't care.

At this time, the second prince was feeling very proud. The plan his mother and concubine had come up with for him this time was really a success.

Ling Chu: Dear readers, the unscrupulous author said that if the votes were too few, he would probably let me sleep for a few more days.

Can you please vote for all the handsome beauties? I want to wake up as soon as possible to catch ghosts and torture scum to take revenge.
