Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Just when Leng Yu was about to continue to press, Zhang Ting stuffed something into his mouth suddenly, and two drops of black blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth instantly. Immediately afterwards, his eyes widened and he twitched, as if he had stopped breathing.

Leng Yu let go of his hand in shock, and Zhang Ting lay limply on the ground. Xiao Lingzi hurriedly came to test his breath,

"My lord, he's dead, it looks like he took poison just now."

Hearing this news, Leng Yu instantly felt dizzy. Once Zhang Ting died, the whereabouts of the money would become a mystery.

He suddenly clenched his fists and shouted with a ferocious face,

"Little Gemini, you personally lead people to search the Shangshu Mansion."

"Yes."

The little twin took the order to retreat, and Leng Yu looked at the gatekeepers again, and waved to the officials behind them, and they were dragged in front of Leng Yu.

"Tell me! Where did the money go?"

Leng Yu's voice became hysterical, so much money is gone, this is the biggest theft case in Daning Kingdom.

The leading gatekeeper shook his head vigorously, and replied with a pale face:

"We...we don't know. We are only responsible for guarding the first gate. We really don't know how this silver turned into stone."

"Hmph! The treasury only has this door, and you say you don't know about the sudden disappearance of so much money. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. Come on!"

After saying that, several officials stepped forward, Leng Yu raised his voice and shouted angrily:

"Pull these guys down, and beat them back fifty times, until they are willing to confess."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if these [-] boards go down, people will be maimed even if they are not killed. Leng Yu obviously wants to force them to tell the truth.

"My lord, please forgive me, we really don't know."

"My lord, this door is only opened once a month, and only Mr. Zhang goes in by himself. We really don't know what's going on."

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

"..."

As the voices of these people begging for mercy gradually faded away, Leng Yu's face also became extremely dark.

Xiao Lingzi took two steps forward and reminded softly:

"My lord, since no one has opened this door, could the money come out from the main door?"

This sentence made Leng Yu feel suddenly enlightened. He immediately frowned, waved to Xiao Lingzi and others,

"Go and check to see if there is a secret passage."

"My subordinate understands."

After receiving the order, Xiao Lingzi led a group of servants and began to rummage in the treasury.

The national treasury has a large area. Looking along the outline, it can be seen that it is divided into many compartments, not only the silver treasury containing a large amount of silver, but also the clothes warehouse for storing court clothes, plain clothes, etc., and the silk warehouse for storing silk and satin. , as well as the tea warehouse for storing tea leaves, as well as the porcelain warehouse for storing tribute from officials and vassal kings from all over the country.

Leng Yu walked into the porcelain warehouse, picked up a piece of porcelain to check it out, and a fiery gaze shot out from his eyes.

This is not Shangpin porcelain, it is obviously inferior porcelain produced by local small folk kilns, more precisely, it is some defective products that are shoddy.

He picked up several porcelains one after another to check, and it turned out that without exception, all of these porcelains had problems.

Seeing this, he suddenly felt a little ironic. The majestic Ningguo couldn't even keep a treasury. This is really a big joke.

Is it because the father trusts Zhang Ting too much, or does this Zhang Ting know how to hide the truth?

But now that he is dead, there is no symptom for all deaths. If the money in the treasury cannot be found, not only the people affected by the disaster will not be able to resettle, but the future of Daning Kingdom will also be worrying.

Xiao Lingzi led people to search around, but still found nothing.

"My lord, we searched all over, but we didn't find any secret passages, nor did we find any problems."

Hearing this sentence, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned livid. He looked at the poor-looking porcelain bottle in his hand, gritted his teeth suddenly, and threw it against a wall in front of him. He said in a hateful voice:

"It's really unreasonable, will these things disappear?"

The moment the tile fell to the ground, the wall behind him suddenly moved. After hearing the strange noise, everyone turned around and stared at the slowly moving wall in a daze. Leng Yu's heart directly rose to his throat.

More than anyone else, he hopes that behind this wall, there will be those missing silver.

But to his disappointment, behind that wall, there was only an extremely dark corridor.

He hurriedly waved to Xiao Lingzi,

"Bring the torches."

After a while, someone brought a torch. Leng Yu took the torch and led the way in front, walking along the dark corridor.

This corridor seems to be newly built, and there are still a lot of debris in it that will not be cleaned up in the future. They walked for a long time, so long that Leng Yu felt that they were about to leave the city.

At this moment, a faint flame appeared flickering in front of him, Leng Yu stopped, and waved to the people behind him, Xiao Lingzi and others hurriedly stopped.

"My lord, there is a light ahead, is there someone here?"

Leng Yu's eyes tightened for a moment, then he took out his saber from his waist, and walked forward cautiously, Xiao Lingzi and others were afraid that he would be in danger, so they also took out their long swords from their waists, and followed closely behind.

But what everyone didn't expect was that there was no one here, and there was no mechanism, and there was nothing else except the flickering oil lamp.

Standing in this cellar as tall as a person, Leng Yu frowned even tighter, and Xiao Lingzi looked around and said in surprise:

"Isn't this a place to hide money? But there is no way ahead."

Leng Yu was also a little confused by Monk Zhang Er. If there is no trick here, then the construction of this secret passage seems meaningless.

Thinking of this, he frowned and shook his head,

"There must be a problem here, everyone look around."

After Xiao Lingzi and others heard the words, they scattered in all directions, and began to face the wall, knocking east and west.

Leng Yu also walked around the wall with a solemn expression, looking for suspicious places.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had stepped on something under his feet. He quickly retracted his feet, squatted down, and a rope appeared in front of him. He tightened his expression and gently pulled it.

At this time, a crack suddenly opened in the ground, Xiao Lingzi and 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:

"My lord, I found it. I finally found it. The money is here."

At this time, someone on the other side shouted:

"My lord, there is also a problem here."

Hearing the shout, Leng Yu walked over there with big strides.

It turned out that in an inconspicuous corner, there was also a rope that was the same as that on the ground. Leng Yu said seriously to the people around him:

"Back up."

After everyone retreated a few steps, he gently pulled the rope, and everyone stared at the ground, but this time, it wasn't the ground that split, but the top.

Just when Leng Yu was stunned, someone above suddenly shouted:

"Shuang generals, there is a situation here."

Two generals?

Leng Yu's eyes darkened for a moment, and he suddenly understood something.
