Chapter 531: The Secret of the Treasury
Leng Yu looked for prestige, and saw six or seven women standing at the door, all of them with ruddy complexions, delicate figures, and wearing all kinds of good silk satin, looking very charming and moving.
Leng Yu glanced at these women and asked in a cold voice:
"Which one is the second lady?"
"I am."
A woman in purple took two steps forward,
"Lord Yu, I heard what you said just now, our lord is the second grade of the imperial court, before our lord receives the holy decree to copy the house, even if you are Lord Yu, you have no right to order me to open the door of my lord's study, and I can't let you go to my lord's study, please forgive me."
The second lady's eyes flashed with disdain, but her heart had already begun to pound.
Leng Yu felt that there seemed to be some truth in her words, he looked at her, and replied in a cold voice:
"This king looked for Lord Zhang, but he avoided it, this king suspected, he did something sorry for the country, so he wanted to go to his study to have a look, and asked the second lady to make it convenient."
"Lord Yu, you also said, you just suspect, there is no conclusive evidence, unless you take your subordinates to break in, otherwise, I won't open the door of this study."
When she said this, the second lady clasped her arms with her hands, looking disdainful and disdainful.
Time was at a stalemate here, and although Leng Yu held the emperor's appointment decree, he did not have the reason to come to the house before confirming that Lord Zhang was guilty.
Just as he was thinking about what to do, the little twins ran in quickly,
"Lord Wang, Zhang Ting ran away......"
As soon as these words came out, the ladies suddenly panicked, and the second lady, who was arrogant just now, suddenly stepped forward in astonishment and asked,
"Which Zhang Ting are you talking about?"
The little twins turned around and said in a cold voice:
"The imperial court is the second product, and the lord of Shangshu is Zhang Ting."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second lady suddenly staggered back two steps, and the girl next to her saw this and hurriedly supported her.
Leng Yu looked at the little twins, frowned and asked:
"What's going on?"
"According to your orders, your subordinates led people to block the east, south, west, and north gates of the capital, and it turned out that Lord Zhang disguised himself as a farmer and wanted to sneak out of the city, but fortunately, his subordinates had sharp eyes and found him at a glance, and now he has controlled others, just outside."
"Bring it in......"
Leng Yu's voice suddenly raised, this Zhang Ting, there is really a problem.
After a while, the Master Zhang, who was disguised as a farmer, was escorted to Leng Yu by two officials, and when they saw him, the ladies immediately squeaked and shouted,
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Sir, where are you going?"
"Master, they said you want to run, where are you going?"
"Old man......"
"Smack......
Leng Yu picked up an enamel teacup on the table, fell heavily to the ground, and scolded loudly:
"Shut up, come on, take these women down."
When the women saw this, they wailed even more,
"Master, what the hell is going on?"
"Master, what the hell is going on?"
"Old man......"
At this time, Zhang Ting only lowered his head, thinking about how to arrange in front of Leng Yu for a while, where did he have the heart to consider these women.
Seeing that these women were pulled out, Leng Yu looked at Zhang Ting, who was kneeling on the ground,
"Lord Zhang, where are you going in the morning? Why don't you even say hello. ”
Zhang Ting clenched his fists, straightened his neck, and wanted to stand up from the ground, but was held down by Xiao Lingzi's shoulder.
He knelt on the spot and raised his eyebrows indignantly:
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan just went out of the city to see my aunt who I haven't seen for a long time, and I heard that she is seriously ill."
"Oh? Don't you know that I'm at the gate of the treasury? ”
This......
Zhang Ting hesitated for a moment, then rolled his eyes and replied:
"I know, it's just that Xiaguan's aunt is going to die, and Xiaguan is afraid that he won't see her vitality, so ...... So I was in a hurry and forgot about the summons of the prince. ”
"A bunch of nonsense ......"
Leng Yu suddenly raised his voice, "Do you think this king is a three-year-old child?" You can fool the past with a few casual words? Where is the Treasury Key? ”
Zhang Ting's body trembled for a moment, and then he replied in a trembling voice:
"In ...... In the ...... In Xiaguan's study. ”
"Xiao Lingzi, take him to get it."
Although Leng Yu expected that there must be some ulterior secrets on this 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 went straight to the study.
Leng Yu sat in the main hall of Shangshu Mansion with a cold face, waiting for Xiao Lingzi to come back.
After a while, Xiao Lingzi held two sets of keys in his hands, pulled Zhang Ting, and came to Leng Yu.
"Lord Wang, the key has been obtained."
Leng Yu's eyebrows flickered, and then he said coldly:
"Take him, go to the treasury."
He wanted to see what was hidden in this treasury, which scared this Lord Zhang to run away regardless of it.
When the group reappeared in front of the treasury gate, Xiao Lingzi neatly opened the lock of the other door, Leng Yu walked in front of the people, quickly entered the gate of the treasury, and went straight to the silver treasury.
When the door of the silver vault was opened by Xiao Lingzi, Leng Yu raised his foot and stepped into the door, looking around, there were countless cloth bags in this empty room, judging from the shape, they should be filled with silver ingots.
He waved his hand to Xiao Lingzi beside him,
"Count 600,000 taels ......"
After Xiao Lingzi received the order, he waved his hand to the people behind him, and a few people stepped forward to count the silver.
Zhang Ting kept his head down, but his eyes looked at the bags from time to time, and his lips kept trembling.
Xiao Lingzi and the others opened a few cloth bags containing silver ingots and fell to the ground with a bang......
The scene in front of him stunned everyone, where is the silver, it is clearly some stones of different shapes.
At this moment, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned blue and purple, he pointed to those cloth pockets, and scolded sharply:
"It's all open, ...... soon"
The millions of taels of silver in the treasury suddenly turned into some worthless stones, this is not a trivial matter, this is a big thing that can make the Daning Kingdom instantly become an empty shell, a big thing.
Sure enough, of all the pockets, only the top layer was silver ingots, and the rest were stones of different sizes.
At this scene, not only Leng Yu was stunned, but also the gatekeepers who had been guarding here were also so frightened that they fell directly to their knees, and some of them peed their pants.
Zhang Ting was even more trembling and lying on the ground, his face as white as paper.
"Zhang Ting, what's going on?"
Leng Yu flicked his sleeves angrily, came to Zhang Ting, grabbed his collar with one hand, and shouted through gritted teeth,
"Where's the silver? Where did it go? ”
Zhang Ting shook his head vigorously, "No...... The lower officials don't know. ”
"Don't you know? The two keys in this treasury have always been in your possession, but you say that you do not know, and you will bring them truthfully......"
