Chapter 176: Random Guess



But since there is no evidence, even if he did something, the emperor cannot make random guesses.

These words gave Wen Jingchi peace of mind, and that night he took his men into the forest.

After half a month of continuous observation, his men have discovered the approximate location.

Although this forest is dense, there are not many places to hide money.

They looked for many nearby villagers and finally determined several places. Wen Jingchi brought nearly thousands of soldiers and surrounded the entire mountain.

He came to one of the locations and pointed to the empty space on the ground.

"Dig for me, even if it means digging three feet deep."

After receiving the order, the soldiers picked up hoes, shovels and other tools and worked hard.

Wen Chenxuan had just taken a rest when he received the news and he sat up straight.

"What did you say? Wen Jingchi has sent people to surround the mountain forest?"

He almost fell to the ground. If he found the stolen money, how would he recruit soldiers?

Now that the emperor's health has recovered, and Wen Jingchi is becoming more and more prominent, if he, the crown prince, is deposed, the only way for him to become emperor is to rebel.

Without money, nothing can be accomplished and his life will be over.

Without any hesitation, Wen Chenxuan didn't even bother to put on his clothes. He casually picked up his shoes and hurried to the forest with his men.

When he arrived, Wen Jingchi's men had already dug out several boxes of stolen money, filling a large cart.

Seeing so much money being taken away by him, Wen Chenxuan's anger instantly reached its peak.

Wen Jingchi had already discovered Wen Chenxuan's whereabouts and couldn't help but walk over to laugh at him.

"Brother, why are you not sleeping so late? Why are you here to watch us dig up the stolen money?"

Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in hatred, but on the surface he showed no signs of it, and just slightly curled the corners of his lips.

"My brother, I have to come when there is such a big movement. Besides, I have always felt guilty about the corruption of the Grand Tutor, so I came here specially to take a look."

"Then my royal brother, please be careful. We are going to another place later. It is said that there is more stolen money there!"

The veins on Wen Chenxuan's forehead were exposed, but he remained calm on the surface.

When he arrived at another place, Wen Chenxuan felt a lot of suffocation in his heart, because this place had the most stolen money.

If they were all poached, they would lose a large amount of the money they had embezzled over the years.

If he wanted to rebel in the future, he would have to collect more wealth from other places.

"Since my royal brother wants to make a contribution, why not let you dig this land?"

Wen Jingchi looked indifferent, as if he was just saying it casually, and asked his men to stand aside.

Nothing is more murderous than this!

Wen Chenxuan was so angry that he felt like exploding, but he had no choice but to endure it.

"Okay, since your brother has entrusted this matter to you, I will not let you down."

Gritting his teeth, Wen Chenxuan glanced at his subordinates beside him.

"Dig it for this prince!"

These men are all his trusted followers, so they naturally know where the money is.

They didn't dare to act rashly under the watchful eyes of the crowd, so they could only dig out all the money they had buried before, and this time they loaded ten trucks with it.

Seeing the money he had worked so hard to earn over the years being taken away by Wen Jingchi's men, Wen Chenxuan was so angry that he almost fainted.

I could only break my teeth and swallow them all.

After all of Wen Jingchi's men had left, an attendant came to Wen Chenxuan with a grim expression.

"Is the inventory complete? How much money do we have left?"

The subordinate sighed helplessly: "Your Highness, Wen Jingchi has taken away most of our money now, and there is not much left, about one third."

Upon hearing this, Wen Chenxuan clenched his fist and punched the small tree next to him, breaking it abruptly.

"Wen Jingchi, I will never forgive you. Just wait, I will not forgive you!"

He snorted coldly, and returned angrily with his men. He fell seriously ill that night.

This matter has come to an end. Although Wen Chenxuan is safe and sound, he suffered heavy losses.

Nearly half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and everything was no different from usual, except that Chu Lingfeng's birthday was approaching.

After thinking it over, Chu Weiyue decided to buy him a good horse.

His brother had been marching and fighting for many years, and his previous horse was old and weak and could not go to the battlefield. It was time to buy him a good horse that could run a thousand miles.

Arriving at the horse market, Chu Weiyue looked around.

Although she didn't know much about horses, she had heard of the name of the Ferghana horse and planned to arrange one for her brother.

At this moment, a man with a big beard attracted Chu Weiyue's attention.

He was chatting with a horse vendor, and the two obviously hadn't come to an agreement on the price, so they were shouting at each other.

As they spoke and acted, Chu Weiyue's face instantly darkened to its darkest.

Because the other party was a caravan, they wanted a total of 300 horses, almost buying out all the horses in the entire horse market!

Originally, he was not interested in their horses, but in order to find out the information, Chu Weiyue ran over and pulled a white horse.

"Boss, this horse looks good, I want it!"

Although she didn't know whether it was a Ferghana horse, the horse looked energetic. The other horses did not have saddles, but this horse had a luxurious saddle, so it must be worth a lot of money.

The moment the horse saw Chu Weiyue, it immediately raised its feet to show its friendliness.

Patting the horse's neck, Chu Weiyue kept touching it.

The bearded man became instantly annoyed and snatched the reins from Chu Weiyue's hands.

"You little girl, you actually dare to snatch the horse from me. This horse is the one I want."

Chu Weiyue snorted in dissatisfaction, took out a silver note for five hundred taels and stuffed it into the shopkeeper's hand.

"Boss, didn't you say this horse was worth five hundred taels? I'll buy it first, and you can take the money."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, Chu Weiyue stuffed the money into his arms, and then glared at the man angrily.

"The key to a deal is payment. Did you pay a deposit? I'm afraid not. I paid the money directly, so the horse belongs to me."

Upon hearing this, the man couldn't help but sneer.

"You little girl, do you know the rules? I am negotiating with him. If we reach an agreement, I will buy all his horses. So this horse will also belong to me. Who do you think you are? Get out of my way."

Chu Weiyue rushed over and took the initiative to hold the horse, shouting unceremoniously: "I paid for it and it's mine, don't try to snatch it from me!"

She held her head high, acting domineering, and held the reins tightly, refusing to let go.

The other party also did not shy away and spat on the ground.

He didn't know Chu Weiyue's identity and only thought she was an ordinary rich lady. They were the prince's people, so naturally they didn't take her seriously.
