I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Heartache and bleeding

Fang hurriedly stepped forward and closed the lid of the box with a snap.

With a red face, he said angrily to Ling Chu, "You girl, do you want to force me to death? How can I have the face to see others in the future..."

Ling Chu was so noisy by her that his ears kept ringing, and he said impatiently, "Don't worry about that, it doesn't matter whether you have a face or not. When you go to prison, even if you have a face, you won't be able to see outsiders. "

Fang was so angry that he couldn't help but stretch out his hand, trying to scratch the beautiful little face in front of him.

Ling Chu had been on guard against her for a long time. When Fang rushed towards her, he turned his body to the side and stretched out his feet.

Fang immediately fell to the ground with a thud.

Ling Chu didn't even bother to give her a glance. He pointed at the bottom of the big box and said to the two stunned guards, "What are you doing standing there? Why don't you come here and tear down the bottom panel."

When Fang heard this, he immediately struggled to get up from the ground to stop him.

Ling Chu would not let her come to stop her again, so he stepped forward quickly and knocked Fang unconscious with a knife.

The two Jin Yiwei did not expect that she would take action as soon as she disagreed. They opened their mouths but did not dare to say anything. They quickly stepped forward and removed the bottom board of the wooden box.

 Once the base plate was removed, the darkroom underneath was exposed.

Ling Chu directed them to open the darkroom and took out a large rosewood box filled with a dazzling array of jewelry.

Li Lingmu's ghost immediately became red-eyed when he saw those jewelry. These were the things he bought for his wife. After being snatched away by Wu Yuanji, a merciless man, they actually gave them to his concubine.

When Wu Yuanji saw the box of jewelry being carried out, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to get angry. He could only endure his anger and turned to Ning Chuyi with a smile.

“Master Ning, this is the dowry for the concubine's house…”

Prince Jing was almost dazzled by the jewelry. He picked up a hairpin and looked at it, "Hey, there are words engraved on it."

“That's Mrs. Li Lingmu's maiden name.” Ling Chu glanced at Wu Yuanji with a half-smile.

Wu Yuanji felt that the girl's eyes were like a slap on his face, and he was angry that Fang didn't hide the things well.

When he brought back Li Lingmu's property, he found that the jewelry had Mrs. Li's maiden name engraved on it, and he couldn't get rid of them.

Fang saw that the jewelry was exquisite and luxurious, and he saw that she really liked it, so he left it to her.

 Who would have thought that after so many years, outsiders would find out.

“Mrs. Li has a good relationship with Xiaguan's concubine, so she said she would give it to her as a memory.”

I have never seen such a shameless person. Ling Chu couldn't help but scold him, "Wu Yuanji, Mrs. Li is the principal wife. I heard that she has always disliked those concubines. If you say this, you won't be afraid of her in the middle of the night. Climb here from **** to renew our friendship with my concubine?"

Seeing everyone looking at him with disdain, Wu Yuanji glared at Ling Chu fiercely.

Ling Chu glanced at the second red dot scanned in the system, and said tremblingly, "Wu...Wu Yuanji, are you so angry that you want to kill me?"

As she spoke, she backed away in horror, and suddenly hit the wall behind her with a loud bang.

 Everyone heard her cry out in pain and turned around to see that a piece of the wall had been broken.

Ling Chu immediately laughed and said, "Well, this wall is made of tofu, how can it break with just a light touch?"

Wu Yuanji's pupils narrowed and he was about to step forward.

Lingchu quickly reached out and touched the hole in the wall, and said in surprise, "Hey, what is this thing? It's shiny and golden, and it looks pretty good."

Attracted by her words, everyone turned their heads, just in time to see Ling Chu reach out and pull out a shining gold brick from the hole in the wall.

Seeing something exposed, Wu Yuanji immediately took out a dagger from his sleeve pocket and rushed towards Ling Chu.

Ning Chuyi moved his steps and kicked him. Wu Yuanji's body hit the wall next to Ling Chu, and then slid to the ground like a dead fish.

There was too much money at home, and Wu Yuanji was worried that it would attract others to covet him. Therefore, the wall was built by himself and was not stable.

With his smash, the bricks fell off one after another, revealing the golden mezzanine inside.

The dazzling golden light almost blinded everyone.

Even Prince Jing, who was born with a golden key to the palace, was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Wu Yuanji, how much money and anointing did he plunder, actually built an entire wall with gold bricks?

Ning Chuyi glanced at the golden wall, and then ordered Jin Yiwei to find a box, remove all the gold bricks, and put them into the box.

Ling Chu saw that there were too many gold bricks, so he volunteered to help.

As the gold bricks were removed, a red lacquered box was exposed in the corner of the wall.

Lingchu looked surprised, "Hey, come and take a look, there is something hidden here."

Prince Jing quickly stepped forward, took apart the gold bricks in twos and twos, and quickly dug out the red lacquer box.

Wu Yuanji was kicked by Ning Chuyi and hit the wall, and he fainted immediately.

He happened to wake up at this moment and saw the dug-out gold and the red lacquer box. He was so angry that he opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of blood, then fainted again.

Li Lingmu's ghost was extremely excited when he saw the secret letter of collusion with foreigners in the box. He knew that the great revenge he had been waiting for for many years finally had a chance to be avenged.

Although Wu Yuanji fainted, he probably kept his gold bricks and secret messages in mind and soon woke up again.

However, no one expected that when he woke up and saw the boxes of gold bricks, Wu Yuanji poured dirty water on Li Lingmu's head in order to get rid of the crime.

“Master Ning, these gold bricks and the contents in the box do not belong to Xiaguan. They were given to Xiaguan by Mingwei General Li Lingmu before his death and asked me to keep them for him.

 I know this is wrong, but Li Lingmu was kind to me and helped me many times during his lifetime. And he also threatened me that if I didn't agree to keep it for him, he would kill my wife and children..."

The ghost of Li Lingmu was beside him, and he was so angry that he wanted to eat Wu Yuanji alive.

Ling Chu almost laughed angrily, Wu Yuanji was really thick-skinned.

Rolling his eyes, Ling Chu grabbed the letter before Ning Chuyi and asked, "Wu Yuanji, are these things really entrusted to you by Li Lingmu for safekeeping?"

Ning Chuyi glanced at her. Although he didn't know what she was planning, he didn't stop her.

Wu Yuanji was delighted when he saw the girl taking the bait, "It was indeed Li Lingmu who gave it to me for safekeeping."

“Oh, do you have anything else to prove your innocence? Wu Yuanji, life in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment is not easy…”

Although the words were not finished, Wu Yuanji understood the meaning.

If he was taken to jail, his family would have no chance of survival.

However, he didn't have any evidence. He just saw that the commander of Jinyiwei kept a sullen face, and then thought about the contents of the box. In order to win his trust, I could only grit my teeth and take out a broken chamber pot from the utility room and a stack of papers from it.

“Master Ning, Li Lingmu is worried that all his family property will be confiscated, so he has handed over the deeds of the property, farm, and shop to the lower officials for safekeeping.”

Ling Chu said with an extremely sincere face next to him, "It seems that Wu Yuanji is really innocent. Li Lingmu has great trust in you."
