In ancient times, I made a fortune by copying my family

As soon as Wu Meiniang said this, the servant woman waiting in the yard was not surprised.

If Prime Minister Teng's appearance is [-]% similar to Teng Chong, then he is [-]% similar to Li Yao.

Originally, the servants thought that Prime Minister Teng was Teng Chong's son.

But since Teng Chong was captured, Li Yao has lived in this courtyard.

And no matter it was day or night, Li Yao had to hang out with Wu Meiniang, and she did not avoid the servants waiting in the yard.

So when they saw that Prime Minister Teng looked more like Li Yao, they guessed that Prime Minister Teng was Li Yao's son.

It was after seeing Li Yao's appearance and his affair with Wu Meiniang that Wei Feng guessed that Prime Minister Teng was his son, so he threatened him as a hostage.

But when Prime Minister Teng heard what his mother said, he didn't want to believe it at all, "Mom, my father is Teng Chong, a high official, not this bad guy. I don't want him to be my father. If he bullies you, I won't like him."

Five or six-year-old children don't understand human affairs at all, and they don't understand what Li Yao was doing when he stripped her mother naked and pressed her on the bed. He just happened upon this scene accidentally, heard her mother's cry, and was taken away by the nanny.

In his opinion, Li Yao was bullying his mother.

"Xiang'er, Uncle Li is your father."

"No, I don't want him to be my father. My father is a high official, and I will also be a high official in the future."

Prime Minister Teng is very stubborn.

Wu Meiniang had no intention of explaining to him at the moment. Seeing Wei Feng frowning with a sullen face, she seemed to have no patience anymore.

All I can do is beg Li Yao, "Brother Li, we only have one child, you can't just watch him die, right? Please tell them where that rice came from, okay?"

Wu Meiniang cried until the pear blossoms were raining, and she begged softly, and Li Yao couldn't help but feel soft.

It can be seen that Prime Minister Teng was still yelling at him, calling him a bad person over and over again, and his heart hardened again.

Although Prime Minister Teng looked more similar to him, he was not [-]% sure that he was his son.

Although Wu Meiniang followed him first, and she also said that Teng Xiang was his child.

But not long after he lost Wu Meiniang's virginity, he let her follow Prime Minister Teng.

He couldn't ruin the second prince's important affairs for the sake of an unknown child.

He is just a child, he is still young, and when the second prince becomes a big deal, he will have any woman he wants.

As for children, they are born casually.

Li Yao glanced at Prime Minister Teng and looked away indifferently, "I don't know where those tribute rice came from. This matter has nothing to do with me."

As long as he refuses to admit it, Teng Chong will have no choice but to die when Jinyiwei reports Gongmi's matter to the emperor.

Teng Chong was the prince's man. He helped the second prince chop off the prince's right-hand man. Even if his affair with Wu Meiniang was exposed, the second prince would have someone protect him.

Wu Meiniang's face turned pale when she saw him denying Gong Mi's matter, "Brother Li, are you going to give up on us two? Are you going to die without saving us?"

Ling Chu was not surprised at all by Li Yao's reaction. Scumbags are not uncommon no matter what era.

Ning Chuyi waved his hand and asked Yin Sha to take Li Yao down for interrogation.

After Ling Chu made some calculations, he led people to the right wing and found a secret door.

Soon, Ning Chuyi and others followed her into the basement through the secret door.

The side room is not big, but the basement is not. Once inside, everyone was shocked.

This situation surprised both Ning Chuyi and the Jinyi guards.

They guessed that there was silver hidden in the basement, but they didn't expect that the silver was not hidden very secretly.

The entire basement was densely packed with large and small silver bricks and silver ingots, piled randomly on the ground like worthless stones.

There was another wall with boxes stacked on top of each other, almost to the top.

These boxes were not locked, so Ning Chuyi casually opened a lid.

A dazzling golden light shot out from inside, making the basement a little brighter. These boxes contain gold bricks, gold bars, irregular gold nuggets, and gold lumps.

Ning Chuyi asked people to count all the gold and silver, register them in the register, and then carry them out of the basement.

Wu Meiniang felt sorry for Yinzi, but also felt anxious and uneasy. She didn't know what Jinyiwei would do to her and her son.

He also became resentful towards Li Yao and took advantage of her. In the end, he abandoned her mother and son for his own sake.

I had known that all the hard work would be in vain in the end. She might as well have just married a random businessman, and she wouldn't have ended up like this.

After finding the silver, Ling Chu took Ning Chuyi and the others to the study.

The house is not big, with only three entrances, and the study is not as big as the study in Zuo Shilang's house.

The furnishings inside are simple, including a large desk. Although the Four Treasures of the Study are placed on it, it still looks brand new and has not been used.

There is also a set of small tables and chairs on the right side. On the table lies a large, half-written piece of writing with immature handwriting.

Obviously this is the big calligraphy that Prime Minister Teng practices on weekdays.

Against the north wall, there is a bookshelf filled with books, but there are almost no signs of being turned.

When Teng Chong comes here on weekdays, he always sneaks over to find Wu Meiniang to sleep with, and does not read or work in the study.

Although Wu Meiniang can read a little, she is not a person who likes to read, and she rarely comes here.

This study room is basically where Teng Xianghui comes to practice his calligraphy.

Ling Chu glanced at the bookshelf a few times and wanted to move the books on the third row above, but she couldn't reach them.

I was about to call a Jin Yiwei to help.

But a big hand with distinct joints stretched out.

Ling Chu turned around and saw Ning Chuyi standing behind her.

This man with martial arts skills could walk without making a sound. She didn't even know when he came over.

Ling Chu cursed in his heart. Seeing that Ning Chuyi had already taken down several books, he naturally reached out to take them, then turned around and put the big case aside.

The Jin Yiwei who was about to come over to help saw this scene and had to stop. He turned around and looked at each other with his colleagues. They all saw the same idea in each other's eyes. They and Miss Ling really cooperated tacitly.

After Ning Chuyi took down the books in the third row, he saw that the color of the white wall behind seemed to be newer than the one next to it.

After tapping it a few times with my fingers, I knew it was a secret grid.

After prying open the secret compartment, there is a black box inside.

After Ning Chuyi opened it, he found an account book and a handwritten letter inside.

What is recorded in the account book is evidence of the crime of corruption by the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

As for the letter, it was written that the second prince asked Wu Meiniang to charm him and stay with him as a concubine, in order to monitor him.

He also asked the bodyguard Li Yao to threaten his family and force Teng Chong to embezzle gold and silver from the bank, hoping to use the money to recruit troops.

After Ning Chuyi read the account book and handwriting, he put it back in the box.

Then the box and the gold and silver dug out were all sent to the palace.

Wu Meiniang, mother and son, and Li Yao were taken to prison.

Half an hour later, Ning Chuyi came out of the palace with the imperial decree to confiscate the house, and led the guards in royal robes to surround the residence of the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
