Chapter 603 Finding Silver
"Is it a scam?"
Chu Ning raised his lips slightly: "I don't think he dares!"
He turned to look at Meng Boming and said calmly: “Tell your people to lay down their weapons and retreat to the backyard of the manor. I will personally lead people to search inside.
If there is no silver, I will personally explain to Fourth Brother, but if silver is found, you will be punished by the law!"
Instead of making Meng Boming nervous, these words made him feel relieved: "Everything is as Your Highness said. I hope Your Highness will not break his promise."
After saying this, Meng Boming shouted into the courtyard: "Everyone put down your weapons and wait in the backyard."
At the command, everyone in the manor headed towards the backyard. Chu Ning waved his hand and Ran Ming led his men in.
The group started searching from the front yard and searched all the way to the backyard but did not find anything suspicious.
But when he arrived at the backyard, Chu Ning saw weapons piled together at a glance.
There are knives, swords, guns and crossbows!
While the others were searching, Chu Ning picked up a crossbow, examined it carefully, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
This crossbow is the same as the one used by his Bingzhou soldiers, achieving a one-to-one replica effect!
"Where did you get this crossbow?" Chu Ning asked Meng Boming while holding up the crossbow.
Meng Boming's face changed slightly, his eyes dodged, and he whispered: "This was given to us by the Fourth Prince. I don't know how he got it."
Su Wenguang sneered, "You don't know? You are the manager here, how could you not know the origin of the crossbow? You are clearly trying to deceive His Royal Highness the King of Chu!"
"No, no, no, even if I had ten guts, I would not dare to lie to His Royal Highness the King of Chu."
Meng Boming quickly explained: "I am only responsible for the daily life of everyone here. Other matters are not my responsibility. The Fourth Prince is responsible for them personally."
Chu Ning glanced at the man and threw the crossbow to his personal soldiers: "Take all the crossbows away!"
Meng Boming's face changed drastically, and he was about to refuse when Ran Ming, who was searching inside, rushed out.
"Your Highness, we have checked everything, but we can't find any silver."
After hearing this, Meng Boming breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness, since we haven't found the silver, can we leave this matter here? Can we leave these crossbows behind?"
Chu Ning was about to speak, but Su Wenguang said first: "No, there are many possibilities for not finding the silver. I will go find it myself!"
Su Wenguang, who didn't believe in evil, immediately rushed into the backyard house to search.
This time the information was provided by Su Wenguang. If no clues are found, it will be Su Wenguang who will be embarrassed.
Therefore, Su Wenguang, who was unwilling to give up, decided to search it himself!
As room after room was searched, Su Wenguang's face became more and more ugly.
Just when everyone thought that the matter had ended, Su Wenguang suddenly shouted, "Your Highness, Prince Chu, come and see, there is a secret passage here!"
Chu Ning's heart moved, and he immediately took his men over. Meng Boming's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly followed.
When we got into the house, we saw that the ground had been opened, revealing a secret passage.
Chu Ning glanced at Meng Boming and sneered: "What else do you have to say now?"
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
Meng Boming panicked, beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks, and he muttered to himself: "If there is a secret passage here, how could I not know it?"
"do not know?"
Su Wenguang sneered: "At this time, you still want to pretend in front of me, come on, go down and take a look immediately!"
At a command, several soldiers entered the secret passage.
About half a quarter of an hour later, a soldier came out with an excited look on his face: "Your Highness, there is indeed silver in there, and the amount is large, all packed in boxes."
Chu Ning's eyes turned cold: "Come here, capture everyone in the manor immediately!"
Meng Boming was shocked: "Your Highness the Prince of Chu, you can't do this, this is the Fourth Prince... uh..."
Before he could finish his explanation, Ran Ming knocked the man unconscious with a knife.
"So much nonsense!"
Ran Ming snorted coldly: "You two keep an eye on this guy, I will take the others with me!"
After saying this, Ran Ming rushed out of the house.
In the yard, the Fourth Prince's men were really waiting for news when they suddenly saw a large number of soldiers from the city defense camp rushing in.
"Take them down!" The people from the city defense camp began to tie up the Fourth Prince's men.
The Fourth Prince's men were furious on the spot: "How dare you attack us?"
"Get out of here! If you dare to do that again, the Fourth Prince will not forgive you!"
"Humph, we have a lot of people, let's fight them!"
Just as everyone was about to make a move, an angry shout was heard: "Whoever dares to move, I will smash his head!"
Then, Ran Ming appeared in front of everyone.
His tall figure exuded a powerful aura, and his murderous intent made the Fourth Prince's men change color.
Nowadays in Kyoto City, everyone knows the name of Ran Ming, and everyone knows that he is a guy who likes to blow other people's heads off.
What's more, they have no weapons in their hands now, so they are no match for the enemy even if they want to resist.
Due to Ran Ming's pressure, all of the Fourth Prince's men were captured without any resistance.
As for Chu Ning who was in the house, he had already seen the silver being carried out from the secret passage.
Looking at the boxes of silver, Chu Ning showed satisfaction on his face: "Yes, this is exactly the batch of silver that I lost."
Su Wenguang's face was a little ugly: "It seems that this was really done by the Fourth Prince. Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Chu Ning's face was gloomy: "What else can I do? Of course I have to go back to the city and report this to my father and let him handle it!"
The Fourth Prince is a prince after all, and if he wants to capture him, he can only do so with the emperor's order.
Su Wenguang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "How about this? I will go to the palace with Your Highness to see the Emperor, and this place will be handed over to General Ran Ming."
As the commander of the city defense camp, he was responsible for the murder of the Seventh Prince. Now that the robbers have been found, and they might be the same people who killed the Seventh Prince, of course he has to go to the palace with them!
But the silver in the manor is also very important, so we must leave someone to guard it.
Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Alright, this matter must be made known to my father as soon as possible. General Su will accompany me to the palace!"
After saying this, Chu Ning took Su Wenguang out of the manor and headed straight for the city gate.
But at the same time, the fourth prince in the city received the news.
"Your Highness, it's bad. The King of Chu has taken the people from the city defense camp to our manor outside the city!"
"What? How dare Chu Ning be so bold!"
The fourth prince was furious: "And that damn Su Wenguang, do you really think that I am afraid of you!
Come here, gather your men and follow me out of the city immediately. I will not let anyone who dares to touch me off lightly!"
The furious Fourth Prince immediately took his men and headed straight for the manor outside the city.
Half an hour later, Chu Ning and the Fourth Prince met unexpectedly outside the city!
Looking at the angry Fourth Prince who came with a large group of people, Chu Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are you planning to go, Fourth Brother?"
The fourth prince glanced behind Chu Ning and found that there were only dozens of cavalrymen. A sneer appeared on his face:
"I should be the one asking you this, right? My eighteenth brother led his troops to my manor, and now he's in such a hurry, where is he going?"
Su Wenguang frowned: "Fourth Prince, why do you have to pretend? You know we found 10 million taels of silver that were stolen in the manor, so you brought people here to stop us from entering the palace!"
As soon as these words came out, the Fourth Prince's face changed drastically, full of disbelief:
"You found the stolen silver in my manor?"
