Chapter 16 Heartbroken and Bleeding

Fang hurried forward and snapped the lid of the box shut.

She blushed and said angrily to Ling Chu, "Girl, do you want to force me to death? How can I face people in the future..."

Ling Chu's ears were buzzing because of her noise. He said impatiently, "Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter whether you have a face or not. When you go to jail, even if you have a face, you can't see outsiders."

Fang was so angry that she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and wanted to scratch the beautiful face in front of her.

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

Fang immediately fell to the ground with a snap.

Ling Chu didn't even bother to give her a glance. He pointed to the bottom of the big box and said to the two stunned Jinyiwei, "What are you doing? Come over and remove the bottom plate."

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

Ling Chu would not let her come to stop him. He stepped forward quickly and knocked Fang unconscious with a knife.

The two Jinyiwei did not expect her to start fighting after a disagreement. They opened their mouths but did not dare to say anything. They quickly stepped forward to remove the bottom of the wooden box.

Once the bottom was removed, the dark room underneath was exposed.

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

When Li Lingmu's ghost saw the jewelry, his eyes immediately turned red. These were all things he bought for his wife, but they were snatched by Wu Yuanji, a heartless man, and he 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 did not dare to get angry. He could only hold back his anger and turn to Ning Chuyi with a smile.

"Lord Ning, this is the dowry of my concubine..."

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

"That's the maiden name of Mrs. Li Lingmu." Ling Chu looked at Wu Yuanji with a smile.

Wu Yuanji felt that the look of this girl was like a slap in his face. He was angry that Fang didn't hide the things well.

When he brought back Li Lingmu's property, he found that these jewelry were engraved with Mrs. Li's maiden name, 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, it would be found by outsiders.

"Madam Li is on good terms with my concubine, and she said she gave it to her as a keepsake."

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such a shameless person. Ling Chu couldn't help but retort to him, "Mr. Wu, Mrs. Li is the principal wife, and I heard that she has always disliked those concubines. You said this, aren't you afraid that she will crawl over from the underworld in the middle of the night to find you and the concubine to renew your friendship?"

Seeing that everyone looked at him with contempt, Wu Yuanji glared at Ling Chu fiercely.

Ling Chu glanced at the second red dot scanned by the system, and trembled, "Wu... Mr. Wu, are you angry and want to kill me?"

As she spoke, she retreated in fear, and suddenly, with a bang, she hit the wall behind her.

Everyone heard her cry out in pain, turned around and saw that the wall was broken.

Ling Chu immediately laughed, "Well, this wall is made of tofu, how come it rots with a slight touch."

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

Ling Chu quickly reached out and touched the hole in the wall, and said in surprise, "Hey, what is this? It's shining with gold and looks pretty good."

Everyone was attracted by her words and turned their heads in unison. They just happened to see Ling Chu reaching out and pulling out a golden brick from the hole in the wall.

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

Ning Chuyi moved his foot 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 in the family, and Wu Yuanji was worried that it would attract others to covet it. So the wall was designed by him, and it was not stable.

After he hit it, the bricks fell one after another, revealing the golden interlayer inside.

The dazzling golden light almost blinded everyone's eyes.

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

How much money did Wu Yuanwai plunder from the people to cover an entire wall with gold bricks?

Ning Chuyi glanced at the golden wall and then ordered the Jinyiwei to find a box to remove all the gold bricks and put them in the box.

Ling Chu saw that there were too many gold bricks and volunteered to help.

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

Ling Chu was surprised, "Hey, come and see, there is something hidden here."

The Prince of Jing quickly stepped forward, removed the gold bricks in a few seconds, 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 the time and saw the gold that was dug out and the red lacquer box. He was immediately furious and spit out blood from his mouth and fainted again.

Seeing the secret letter in the box about collusion with foreign tribes, Li Lingmu's ghost was extremely excited. He knew that he finally had a chance to get his revenge after waiting for so many years.

Although Wu Yuanji fainted, he soon woke up, perhaps because he was thinking about his gold bricks and secret letter.

However, no one expected that after waking up and seeing the boxes of gold bricks, Wu Yuanji would throw dirty water on Li Lingmu's head in order to get rid of the crime.

"Sir Ning, these gold bricks and the things in the box are not mine. They were given to me by General Li Lingmu before he died, asking me to keep them for him.

I know this is wrong, but Li Lingmu had cultivated me and helped me many times before he died. He also threatened me that if I didn't agree to keep them for him, he would kill my wife and children..."

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

Ling Chu almost laughed out of anger. Wu Yuanji was really thick-skinned.

His eyes turned, and Ling Chu asked before Ning Chuyi, "Mr. Wu, were these things really given to you by Li Lingmu for safekeeping?"

Ning Chuyi glanced at her. Although he didn't know what she was up to, he didn't say anything to stop her.

Seeing that the girl took the bait, Wu Yuanji was delighted, "It was indeed given to me by Li Lingmu for safekeeping."

"Oh, do you have anything else to prove your innocence? Mr. Wu, life in the prison of the Ministry of Justice is not easy..."

Although he didn't finish his words, Wu Yuanji understood the meaning.

If he was arrested and thrown into prison, his family would have no chance of survival.

However, where did he have any evidence? However, seeing that the commander of the Jinyiwei had a gloomy face, and then thinking of the things in the box. In order to win his trust, he could only grit his teeth and take out a broken chamber pot from the utility room and took out a stack of papers from it.

"Lord Ning, this is because Li Lingmu was worried that his family property would be confiscated, so he gave all the contracts of real estate, farms, and shops to me for safekeeping."

Ling Chu said with an extremely sincere face, "It seems that Mr. Wu is really innocent. Li Lingmu really trusts you."
