I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Ning Chuyi was originally not planning to take Ling Chu to ransack her home, but she was worried that she would be embarrassed if she stayed.

Although he was the commander of the Jinyi Guards before, not all the Jinyi Guards were his, and there were many people who could not deal with him, and there were many overt and covert battles.

It would be better to take Ling Chu with you. With him watching, at least no one would dare to embarrass her.

Ning Chuyi led his people to the door of the residence of Teng Chong, the left servant of the Ministry of Revenue.

Mr. Cao, who delivered the edict, has also arrived.

His eyes were very good, and he could see Ling Chu standing next to a large group of Jinyi guards at a glance.

But he didn't say anything, he just glanced at him casually and walked quickly towards Ning Chuyi.

Eunuch Cao is a good man. Although Ning Chuyi was demoted, he did not treat him lightly and still treated him respectfully as before.

Ning Chuyi nodded in return, and the two of them walked along the stone steps to the door without much exchange of greetings.

Seeing the unkindness of those Jinyi guards, the concierge of Zuo Shilang's Mansion had already been frightened, and one of the servants rushed in with a frightened look to report the news.

 The two porters came forward with a smile on their face. While receiving the greetings, they were thinking about delaying time for the people in the minister's house.

 But Eunuch Cao came with an imperial edict, and the concierge couldn't stop him at all.

Ning Chuyi led his people and drove straight in.

 There was chaos in the minister's house.

Teng Chong, the left minister, was directly imprisoned by the emperor's order yesterday at the Ministry of Household Affairs.

 The family members of Zuo Shilang were very frightened and were discussing how to rescue him in the main hall.

Who would have thought that Jin Yiwei would come and ransack the house so quickly.

 Seeing the wolf-like and tiger-like Jin Yiwei, some timid women and children were so frightened that they cried.

The smart ones wanted to rush back to the inner courtyard to collect their belongings and escape.

Teng Chong’s parents, his wife and two legitimate sons endured their fear and smiled, and stepped forward to greet Ning Chuyi and Eunuch Cao.

Teng Chong's two concubines, however, held on to their sons and daughters tightly and wanted to take them away.

But no matter what they had planned, they were all stopped by the Jin Yiwei.

 For a time, the sound of crying could not be heard.

Wei Feng and the Jin Yiwei pulled out their swords with dark faces, and the scene was shocked.

 When Eunuch Cao finished reading out the imperial edict of confiscation of the house, the cry and begging for mercy became loud again.

Teng Chong's two concubines secretly wanted to leave with their children. After being stopped, they took off their headgear and jewelry in an attempt to bribe Ning Chuyi and Eunuch Cao to let them leave.

 But he was blocked by Yin Sha.

Seeing that they were unmoved, the two concubines wanted Teng Chong's wife to divorce them instead of Teng Chong.

Mrs. Zuo Shilang was very angry at their behavior, but Teng Chong's mother was very moved.

I thought that instead of having the entire family imprisoned and beheaded, it would be better to divorce the two concubines and let them take the children away, at least to keep a little incense for my son.

 The old lady had a wonderful idea, but it was destined to be a whim.

Seeing that the people in the Shilang's Mansion were noisy, Wei Feng simply took the people and locked them all into the main hall.

A few Jinyi guards were left to guard the house, and the rest of them all followed Ning Chuyi and started ransacking the house.

 First, they searched the warehouses in the inner and outer courtyards of the Minister's Mansion and found more than 30,000 taels of silver, as well as various antique calligraphy, paintings, ornaments, etc.

Then they also ransacked various yards. In addition to gold and silver, they also found house deeds, land deeds, fields, shops and other property.

The dowries and jewelry of the female family members were not spared.

Ling Chu estimated that the gold and silver found, as well as the apparent property, were worth about two hundred thousand taels.

 It is still far away from one million and seventy thousand taels.

Ling Chu raised her head and glanced at the sky. At this time in the past, she had already had lunch and was resting.

 But now, let alone lunch, we don’t even have tea.

 Not only was the Wu Zang Temple protesting, but she was also exhausted.

When they ransacked the house just now, Ning Chuyi asked Wei Feng and Yin Sha to take care of her as much as possible. But when Lingchu saw other people working, she couldn't just watch as Xiaoqi.

 But she didn’t foolishly work herself to death, she just picked some light jobs to do.

 But even so, her body was very tired.

Ling Chu sighed secretly. It was his first time to search a house and he was inexperienced.

 Next time, be sure to remember to bring some water and food, otherwise her body will not be able to bear it.

 Looks like we need to make a quick decision and finish searching the house early so we can go back and find some food.

Lingchu was thinking about it when he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

Looking back in surprise, he happened to see two Jin Yiwei walking over quickly holding a big cloth bag each.

It turned out that Ning Chuyi had previously ordered them to go to the street and buy steamed buns and sesame seed cakes to fill their stomachs.

The royal guards smelled the fragrance, and their stomachs began to protest, and they all sped up their movements.

 The items seized were counted, registered, packed and sealed, and finally sealed.

 Time is tight, so everyone starts eating immediately after washing their hands.

Ling Chu also took a piece of sesame seed cake and chewed it in small bites.

Just when I was feeling thirsty, a water bag was suddenly handed over to me.

Ling Chu looked up in surprise and found that it was Ning Chuyi.

But there was only one water bag, so Ling Chu didn’t take it.

Perhaps sensing her concerns, Ning Chuyi said softly, "Take it, I still have it over there."

Lingchu looked in the direction he indicated. There was a table and chairs not far away. On the table were several sesame seed buns and a bowl of water, which Yin Sha had prepared for Ning Chuyi.

Seeing Wei Feng and the others looking this way intentionally or unintentionally, Ling Chu quickly thanked Ning Chuyi and took the water bag.

 After filling his stomach, Ling Chu opened the system.

 Then take out the copper coins and the turtle shell.

The Jin Yiwei present were all members of Ning Chuyi, and they had seen Ling Chu's abilities. When they saw her, they began to tell fortunes, and they immediately became excited.

This minister's house is not small, and it would be a waste of time to search it bit by bit. But if Miss Ling helps, we can get twice the result with half the effort.

 The fortune-telling soon yielded results.

Lingchu led people to a courtyard, entered the bedroom, and said to Ning Chuyi, "Move this Babu bed."

Before Ning Chuyi could speak, Wei Feng, who was following behind, could not wait to say to the Jin Yiwei behind him, "Brothers, take action."

This courtyard is where Zuo Shilang's concubine lives. The bed and the brocade quilt on the bed are both good things.

If the money seized is not enough to repay the 1.07 million taels that Teng Chong embezzled, the furniture in his house will be sold off and the money will be turned over to the state treasury.

 So this bed cannot be damaged.

 After the bed is removed, the bluestone floor underneath is exposed.

Lingchu thought it was too time-consuming to use tools to pry bit by bit, so he summoned a small hammer and smashed the floor into pieces before letting others start digging.

This dormitory is indeed the residence of Teng Chong's favorite concubine. After digging, one hundred and thirty thousand taels were dug out.

 In addition to silver, there are also many gold nuggets.

 This amount of money alone is already more than the emperor's private treasury. It's no wonder that the emperor hates corrupt officials.

 Just after counting the money, Wu Bing suddenly brought his Jin Yiwei to the Minister's Mansion.

When he knew that they had not yet copied out half of the silver, Wu Bing suddenly ordered, "Go dig a cesspool."
