Chapter 532: Treasury Silver Disappears?
Just as Leng Yu was about to continue to ask, Zhang Ting suddenly stuffed something into his mouth, and two drops of black blood instantly overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and then, his eyes widened and his body twitched, as if he had lost his breath.
Leng Yu let go of his hand in shock, Zhang Ting lay on the ground softly, and Xiao Lingzi hurriedly came to test his snort,
"Lord Wang, he died, it looks like he took poison just now."
Hearing this news, Leng Yu instantly felt that his head was big, and as soon as Zhang Ting died, the whereabouts of the silver would become a mystery.
He suddenly clenched his fists and shouted with a hideous face,
"Little Twins, you personally take people to search Shangshu Mansion."
"Yes."
The little twins took the order and retreated, Leng Yu looked at the janitors again, waved his hand to the officials behind them, and they were dragged in front of Leng Yu.
"Say it! Where did the money go? ”
Leng Yu's voice became hysterical, so much silver was gone, this was the biggest theft in Daning Kingdom.
The goalkeeper at the head shook his head vigorously, and replied with a pale face:
"We ...... We don't know, we're only responsible for guarding the first gate, we really don't know how this silver turned to stone. ”
"Humph! There is only one gate in the treasury, and so much silver suddenly disappears, but you say that you don't know, since this is the case, don't blame this king for being polite, come on! ”
After speaking, several officials stepped forward, Leng Yu raised his voice, and shouted angrily:
"Pull these down and hit the fifty boards again until they are willing to confess."
Clear-eyed people know that if these fifty boards go down, even if they don't kill people, they will be disabled, Leng Yu obviously wants to force them to tell the truth.
"Lord, spare your life, we really don't know."
"Lord Wang, this door is only opened once a month, and only Lord Zhang himself enters, we really don't know what's going on."
"The prince spares his life!"
“……”
As the voices of these people begging for mercy faded away, Leng Yu's face became extremely dark.
Xiao Lingzi took two steps forward and reminded softly:
"Lord Wang, since no one has opened this door, could this silver not go out from the main gate?"
This sentence made Leng Yu instantly feel a sense of sudden realization, he immediately tightened his brows, and waved his hand to Xiao Lingzi and the others,
"Go check and see if there's a secret passage."
"My subordinates understand."
After receiving the order, Xiao Lingzi took a group of subordinates and began to rummage in the treasury.
The treasury was very large, and when you look at it from a tour, you can see that it was divided into many compartments, including a silver storehouse containing a large amount of silver, a storehouse for storing court clothes and plain clothes, a silk storehouse for silk and satin, a tea storehouse for storing tea, and a porcelain storehouse for storing tributes from officials and feudal lords from all over the world.
Leng Yu walked into the porcelain warehouse, picked up a piece of porcelain and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly burst into a fire-like gaze.
Where is this Shangpin porcelain, this is obviously the inferior porcelain produced by the local small kiln, more precisely, some shoddy defective products.
He picked up a few more porcelains one after another to check, and the results showed that without exception, these porcelains were all faulty.
Seeing this, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous, the dignified Ning Kingdom couldn't even hold a treasury, this is really a big joke.
Is it because his father trusts Zhang Ting too much, or does this Zhang Ting know how to hide from the sky and cross the sea?
But now that he is dead, everything is dead, and if the silver in this treasury cannot be found, not only will the people who have been affected by the disaster be unable to resettle, but the future of Daning will also be worrying.
Xiao Lingzi took people to look around, but still found nothing,
"Lord Wang, we have checked all over the place, but we have not found any secret passages, nor have we found any problems."
Hearing this, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned pale, he looked at the porcelain vase in his hand, which was of very poor quality, suddenly gritted his teeth, fell against a wall in front of him, and said hatefully in his mouth:
"Is that really unreasonable, these things will disappear?"
At the moment when the porcelain piece landed, the wall behind him suddenly moved, and after hearing the strange noise, everyone turned to look at the slowly moving wall in a daze, and Leng Yu's heart was directly raised to his throat.
More than anyone else, he hoped that behind this wall, there would be those missing silver.
But to his disappointment, behind the wall, there was only a dark corridor.
He was busy waving his hand to Xiao Lingzi,
"Bring the torches."
After a while, someone brought a torch, Leng Yu took the torch, personally led the way in front, and walked along the dark corridor to the inside.
This corridor looked like it had not been built for a long time, and there was still a lot of debris in it that they had time to clean up, and they had been walking for a long, long time, so long that Leng Yu felt that they were about to leave the city.
At this moment, a faint firelight flickered in front of him, Leng Yu stopped and waved his hand to the people behind him, Xiao Lingzi and the others hurriedly stopped.
"Lord Wang, there is a light ahead, will anyone be there?"
Leng Yu's eyes tightened, and then he took out the saber from his waist and walked forward cautiously, Xiao Lingzi and the others were afraid that he would be in danger, so they also took out the long sword from their waists and followed closely.
But what everyone didn't expect was that there was no one here, no mechanism, not even the flickering oil lamp.
Standing in this cellar that was more than one person high, Leng Yu's brows furrowed even tighter, and Xiao Lingzi even said in surprise while scanning the surroundings:
"Isn't this a place to hide silver? But there was no road ahead. ”
Leng Yu is also a little confused by the second monk, if there is no greasy here, then this dark road seems to be meaningless.
Thinking of this, he frowned and shook his head,
"There must be a problem here, let's look around."
After Xiao Lingzi and the others heard this, they scattered and began to face the wall, knocking on the east and looking at the west.
Leng Yu also walked around the wall with a solemn face, looking for suspicious places.
Suddenly, he felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet, he hurriedly retracted his feet gently, squatted down, and a rope appeared in front of him, he tightened his expression and pulled it gently.
At this time, a crack suddenly opened in the ground, and Xiao Lingzi and the others hurriedly gathered around and looked along the crack.
After a while, the crack in the ground became bigger and bigger, until many bags of silver and porcelain were exposed, Leng Yu let out a long sigh of relief, and Xiao Lingzi suddenly shouted in surprise:
"Lord Wang, I found it, I finally found it, the silver is here."
At this time, someone on the other side also shouted:
"Lord Wang, there is a problem here."
Hearing the shout, Leng Yu strode and walked over there.
It turned out that in an inconspicuous corner, a rope that was the same as the ground also appeared, and Leng Yu said solemnly to the people around him:
"Back off."
After everyone retreated a few steps, he gently pulled the rope, and everyone stared at the ground, but this time, it was not the ground that cracked, but the top.
Just when Leng Yu was stunned, someone above suddenly shouted:
"Twin Generals, there's a situation here."
Twin generals?
Leng Yu's eyes sank for a moment, and he suddenly understood something.
