Chapter 531 The secret of the treasury

Leng Yuxun looked at him and saw six or seven women standing at the door. They all had rosy faces, charming figures, and dressed in various colors and good-looking silks and satin, which looked very charming and attractive.

Leng Yu glanced at these women and asked coldly:

"Who is the second wife?"

"I am."

A woman in purple took two steps forward.

"Prince Yu, I heard what you said just now. Our master is the second-rank official in the imperial court. Before our master received the imperial edict, even if you are Prince Yu, you have no right to order me to open the door of my master's study. I cannot let you go to the master's study. Please forgive me."

The second lady's eyes flashed with disdain, but her heart began to pound.

Leng Yu felt that her words seemed to make some sense. He looked at her and replied coldly:

"I have found Lord Zhang for a while, but he avoided him. I suspect that he had done something that was sorry for the country, so I want to go to his study and ask the second wife for a convenience."

"Your Prince Yu, you said too. You are just suspicious and there is no conclusive evidence. Unless you lead your men to break through, I will not open the door of this study even if I beat you to death."

When he said this, the second lady hugged her arms with her hands, looking disdainful and contemptuous.

Time was once stalemate here. Although Leng Yu held the emperor's appointment, he did not make a decision to come to the other party before confirming that Lord Zhang was guilty.

Just as he was thinking about what to do, the little Gemini ran in quickly.

"Prince, Zhang Ting ran away..."

As soon as these words were said, the ladies suddenly looked panicked. The second lady who was still arrogant just now suddenly stepped forward and asked in surprise.

"Who are you talking about Zhang Ting?"

The little Gemini turned around and said in a cold voice:

"The second rank of the imperial court, Zhang Ting, the Minister of the Shangshu."

As soon as he finished speaking, the second wife suddenly staggered back two steps. Seeing this, the girl beside her hurriedly supported her.

Leng Yu looked at Xiao Gemini and frowned and asked:

"What's going on?"

"According to your instructions, my subordinates led people to block the four gates of the east, south, west and north of the capital. As a result, I found that Lord Zhang disguised himself as a farmer and wanted to get out of the city. Fortunately, my subordinates were sharp-eyed and discovered him at first sight. Now he has controlled others and is outside."

“Bring in…”

Leng Yu's voice suddenly increased, and Zhang Ting was indeed having a problem.

After a while, the Lord Zhang, who disguised himself as a farmer, was taken to Leng Yu by two officials. When he saw him, the ladies suddenly started to yell.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Master, where are you going?"

"Master, they said you want to run, where are you going?"

"master……"

"Bang..."

Leng Yu picked up an enamel teacup on the table, fell heavily to the ground, and shouted loudly:

"Shut up, where are you here, take these women down."

Seeing this, those women even started to wail.

"Master, what's going on?"

"Master, you said something, what's going on?"

"master……"

At this time, Zhang Ting was just lying down and thinking about how to arrange it in front of Leng Yu for a while, and where to think about these women.

Seeing these women being pulled out, Leng Yu looked at Zhang Ting who was kneeling on the ground.

"Sir Zhang, where are you going in the early morning? Why don't you even say hello?"

Zhang Ting tightened his fists and simply straightened his neck to stand up from the ground, but Xiao Lingzi pressed his shoulders down.

He knelt on his spot, raised his eyebrows indignantly:

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan just went out of the city to see my aunt whom I hadn't seen for a long time. I heard that she was seriously ill."

"Oh? Then I'm at the gate of the treasury, don't you know?"

this……

Zhang Ting hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes and replied:

"I know, it's just that Xia Guan's aunt is going to die. Xia Guan may not see her vitality, so... so I was anxious for a moment and forgot about the summons from the prince."

"All nonsense..."

Leng Yu suddenly raised his voice, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? You can fool it with just a few words? Where is the key to the treasury?"

Zhang Ting's body shook for a moment, then replied tremblingly:

"In... in... in Xiaguan's study."

"Xiao Lingzi, take him to get it."

Although Leng Yu expected that there must be some ulterior motive for Zhang Ting, he still wanted to get the key to the treasury first and then interrogate him.

Xiao Lingzi pulled Zhang Ting's collar with one hand, picked him up like a kitten, and headed straight for the study.

Leng Yu sat in the main hall of Shangshu Mansion with a cold expression, waiting for Xiao Lingzi to come back.

After a while, Xiao Lingzi held two sets of keys in his hand, pulled Zhang Ting and came to Leng Yu.

"Prince, I got the key."

Leng Yu's eyebrows and eyes circulated, and then said coldly:

"Take him with you and go to the treasury."

He wanted to see what was hidden in this treasury, which scared Lord Zhang so much that he ran away regardless of the situation.

When the group reappeared in front of the treasury gate, Xiao Lingzi opened the lock of another door neatly. Leng Yu walked in front of the people, quickly entered the treasury gate, and headed straight for the treasury gate.

When the Yinku door was opened by Xiao Lingzi, Leng Yu stepped into the door and looked around. There were countless cloth pockets in this empty room. Judging from the shape, the silver ingots should be filled with them.

He waved his hand to Xiao Lingzi beside him.

"Count out six hundred thousand taels..."

After Xiao Lingzi received the order, he waved his hand to the people behind him, and several people went forward to count the money.

Zhang Ting kept lowering his head, but his eyes looked at the bags from time to time, and his lips were trembling constantly.

Xiao Lingzi and others opened several cloth pockets containing silver ingots and fell to the ground with a thunderous sound...

The scene in front of us shocked everyone. It was not silver, it was clearly some stones of different shapes.

At this moment, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned blue and purple. He pointed at the cloth pockets and scolded him sternly:

"Everything open, hurry..."

The millions of taels of silver in the national treasury suddenly turned into some worthless stones. This is not a trivial matter. This is a big thing that can instantly turn the Daning Kingdom into a body. It is a huge thing.

As expected, in all the pockets, only the top layer is silver ingots, and the rest are stones of different sizes.

This scene was not only Leng Yu was stunned, but also the gatekeepers who had been guarding here were so scared that they fell to their knees on the ground, and some of them had peed their pants.

Zhang Ting even trembled and lies on the ground, his face pale as paper.

"Zhang Ting, what's going on?"

Leng Yu shook his sleeves furiously, came to Zhang Ting, grabbed his collar with one hand, and shouted with gritted teeth.

"Where did the silver? Where did you go?"

Zhang Ting shook his head vigorously, "No... the official doesn't know."
