Lu led the gang of thugs around the backyard three times.

Only after discovering that there was indeed no one hiding there did I feel relieved.

"Go home!"

At Lu's command, a group of people followed him out of the backyard.

Before leaving, she did not forget to take a few valuable headdresses from the pavilion and gave them to the thugs in the Lu Mansion, asking them to take them to Lu Lianlian.

After stepping out of the door contentedly, Mrs. Lu looked back at the huge and luxurious building in a daze for a long time.

Finally, I decided to close the shop.

As the door bolt slammed shut, Lu let out a long sigh.

The situation is so tense these days. Compared to making money, it is more important to save your life.

Moreover, Rong Jin is still in prison, and the Marquis has been interrogated by people from the Dali Temple in the past few days.

The Lu family must be more careful in what they say and do to avoid getting into trouble.

"Finally left——"

Rong Sheng stayed on the roof without daring to move, curled up for a long time, and now his calves were almost cramping.

Looking at Mrs. Lu's worried expression just now, Rong Sheng guessed about 70% of the situation.

He thought to himself that since the Lu family was so cautious, it seemed that he had to dig this land.

She stood up slowly and stretched all her muscles.

Then he jumped down into the maple forest in the backyard.

Recalling the place where Lu had just stopped, Rong Sheng immediately looked into the distance, and after going around in circles, he soon found that corner.

"Well, let's start from here."

Rong Sheng looked around at the surrounding terrain, planned for a while in his mind, and finally raised his hand to practice his energy.

The cyclone in her palm burst out in an instant in the blink of an eye.

Feeling the energy accumulating throughout his body, Rong Sheng held his breath and concentrated.

When her power reached its peak, she suddenly opened her eyes and smashed the cyclone energy supported by her palms to the ground.

With a loud bang, a huge pit about three feet deep was smashed into the land surrounded by trees.

The whole yard was in a mess, as if it had been swept away by a whirlwind.

Looking at the "sinkhole" he had dug in front of him, and the fallen maple trees around it.

Rong Sheng couldn't help but shook his head: "Alas, the strength is still not enough..."

Then she couldn't wait to get to the pit.

After looking carefully for a while, I finally found the corner of a wooden box in the pit where the fallen leaves were piled up randomly.

There really is!

Rong Sheng was so excited that he almost shouted out loud, thinking that his efforts were not in vain!

After finding this wooden box, Rong Sheng became more motivated.

She rolled up her sleeves and got to work.

In less than half an incense stick of time, she had dug out all the wooden boxes around her.

As a breeze blew by, Rong Sheng felt his back was soaked with sweat.

She straightened up with a sense of relief and counted the wooden boxes in front of her.

There are as many as twenty...

Shocked, she came to a wooden box and opened the lid easily with a wave of her hand.

It was noon now. Under the bright sunshine, the silver light reflected from the box made Rong Sheng squint his eyes.

She rubbed her eyes and quickly looked down into the wooden box.

Wow, they are really white silver dollars!

She was amazed and immediately bent down, took out a silver dollar, weighed it lightly in her hand, and carefully looked at the stamp on it.

It was unexpectedly discovered that these official silvers and those in Lu's secret cabinet were not made from the same batch.

Rong Sheng thought that the Lu family was able to embezzle money from the national treasury by relying on the lucrative job in the Ministry of Revenue.

Just the things in front of us, the total amount is at least 100,000 taels.

The Lu family has been so bold in recent years that there might be more than just the ones in front of us, and there may be many hidden somewhere else.

A cunning rabbit has three burrows. We should really check whether Lu Anfei has other secret homes.

Rong Sheng complained inwardly while filling the hole again.

In the middle, he did not forget to take out a silver dollar and put it in his sleeve.

Because she suddenly remembered what Song Xuanlin had said to her many times.

“Don’t act alone…”

These words echoed in Rong Sheng's mind again, and a hidden emotion surged in his eyes.

Since his rebirth, Rong Sheng always believed that he could still stand on his own like he did in his previous life.

But until today she suddenly realized that she had been saved by Song Xuanlin many times.

"Why does he always appear at the critical moment?" Rong Sheng pursed his lips and muttered to himself, "Is it a coincidence or..."

The sun gradually set, casting a layer of gold on Rong Sheng's white jade face.

She came to her senses and jumped out of Yancui Pavilion.

Holding the silver dollar tightly in his hand, Rong Sheng trotted all the way to the Ming Palace: "There is no time to think about anything else now, let's bring down the Lu family first."

Autumn evenings always come earlier.

At this moment in Prince Ming's Palace, Song Xuanlin was working at his desk, concentrating on reading the case files of Prince Jing'an.

A servant came in quietly and lit the candle, and the study suddenly became bright.

Song Xuanlin raised his head, rubbed his frowning brows, and couldn't help but stare at the candle in a daze.

These days he has been so busy supervising the trial of Prince Jing'an's treason case that he has had very little time to even eat.

The candlelight flickered, and in a trance, he seemed to see Rong Sheng jumping in front of him.

"How is she these days..."

Ever since he returned to the capital from the Southern Territory, it seemed as if everything had been disrupted by this fake Princess Yong'an.

He has a cold personality, and apart from Shen Yun, there is no other woman that he can't help but pay attention to.

"Maybe she looks a bit like Shen Yun..."

Song Xuanlin shook his head, trying to put his complicated thoughts behind him.

At this time, Lu Yue came in and reported quietly: "My Lord, the princess is here."

"What is she here for?" Song Xuanlin said he didn't care, but he was inexplicably looking forward to it.

"Reporting to the prince, the princess said she has something important to discuss."

"Invite her in."

"Yes."

After a while, Rong Sheng came in dressed in men's clothes and covered in dirt.

"Your Highness, I have something to report." Rong Sheng came in and bowed to the table without saying a word.

"Did you fall into a pit?"

Song Xuanlin seemed not to hear Rong Sheng's words. He looked at Rong Sheng, who was covered in dirt, and asked in surprise, "Why are you covered in dirt?"

"Well, I have indeed been in the pit all day."

After hearing Song Xuanlin's question, Rong Sheng's expression froze slightly, but he did not dare to delay and immediately handed over the silver dollar in his hand.

"Your Highness, I dug this out in the backyard of the Lu family's shop."

When Song Xuanlin saw the silver dollar, his heart sank.

He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then asked in doubt, "This is the government silver used for disaster relief a few years ago. Why is it in the Lu family's shop now?"
