Chapter 173
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Ling Chu lowered his sarcasm, "Thanks to Brother Huang's plan, we were able to succeed in one fell swoop."

Everyone echoed Ling Chu and praised Ling Chong for his resourcefulness.

Then everyone left, Ling Chong called his confidant Wu De who was sent along with him, and asked about last night's situation.

"The Seventh Prince took advantage of the bandit's drunken rest, lit a fire, and led his subordinates to rush into the cottage and wiped out the bandit." Wu De said, "Thanks to His Highness's prediction, the bandit was unprepared at night, and was able to wipe out these bandits in one fell swoop."

Ling Chong asked again, "These gangsters have been entrenched for many years, and they must have a lot of gold and silver treasures."

"To tell you the truth, the Seventh Prince burned down the cottage with a fire. His subordinates also searched it, and it was all gone. It was completely burned." Wu De lowered his head.

"This reckless man." Ling Chong scolded, "Forget it, now that the bandits have been wiped out, reward the brothers well, and return to Beijing soon."

"Yes."

Wu De withdrew from the study, out of the yard, took a glance, and walked eastward. Seeing no one following him, he entered the small door, walked for a while, pushed the door open and entered the inner room.

"Master Wu." Wearing a mask, Yi Wu lowered his voice and hid in the darkness.

"Master Yiwu, I don't know what else the master has to order." Wu De respectfully, he was completely different from Ling Chong, and told Yiwu exactly what he had just said to Ling Chong, without hiding it.

"You left a box of jewels, this is a reward from the master, and all the rest will be secretly shipped to the capital." Yiwu said.

Wu De said, "Subordinates don't need it, and they must do their best to do things for the master."

"This is the meaning of the master, I just conveyed it." Yi Wu continued, "Keep an eye on the fifth prince, and report in time if there is any action."

"Master Yiwu, please rest assured, the subordinates will do their best to serve the master." Wu De saluted, "I will not disappoint the trust of the master."

A gust of wind passed, and Yiwu's figure had disappeared into the house. Wu De wiped the sweat from his forehead before going out from the house.

Ling Chu looked at the ledger, which recorded the harvest of last night, which had been counted overnight.

"Seventh Emperor Brother." Ling Chong came in directly, "You worked hard last night."

Ling Chu calmly closed the ledger and put it on the table, "Why is Brother Huang here?"

"I'm here to invite you to the celebration banquet hosted by the prefect of Song Dynasty tonight." Ling Chong sat down with his robe lifted.

Ling Chu ordered someone to serve tea, "Brother Huang, you know that Brother Huang is not interested in these things. It is enough to have Brother Huang here, and my green leaf should also be set back a little bit."

"Your brother's words are wrong." Ling Chong was in a good mood, and the suppression of the bandits went smoothly. He had already prepared a memorial and sent it to the capital to convey the good news to the saint. "If it weren't for your contribution, Emperor Brother, this matter would not have gone so smoothly."

"Brother Huang is just going through the motions." Ling Chu smiled, "Brother Huang still deserves the credit for this matter."

Seeing that Ling Chu was sensible and didn't take the credit, Ling Chong felt relieved. Naturally, he didn't want to attribute the credit to Ling Chu. Fortunately, Ling Chu was still the governor.

"You and I are brothers, why bother to say such polite words." Ling Chong said, "Since you don't like excitement, then have a good rest tonight, and we will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

The celebration banquet tonight is not only a celebration, but also a gift of money. These magistrates and judges all want to curry favor, so naturally the benefits are indispensable.

It's a pity for Ling Chong that all the gold and silver treasures in the cottage were destroyed in the fire. He asked people to search again, but unfortunately they didn't find anything, otherwise most of the money would have fallen into his own pocket.
