Leng Yu looked out and saw six or seven women standing at the door. They all had rosy faces and charming figures. They were wearing various kinds of silks and satins of good quality and looked very charming.
Leng Yu glanced at these women and asked coldly:
"Who is the second lady?"
"I am."
A woman in purple took two steps forward.
"Prince Yu, I heard what you just said. Our master is the second rank of the imperial court. Before our master has received the imperial edict to search his house, even if you are Prince Yu, you have no right to order me to open the door of my master's study. I can't either. Please forgive me for letting you go to the master's study."
The second lady's eyes flashed with disdain, but her heart was already beating fast.
Leng Yu felt that her words seemed to make sense. He looked at her and replied coldly:
"The king looked around for Mr. Zhang, but he avoided seeing him. I suspected that he had done something to disgrace the country, so I wanted to take a look in his study and asked the second lady to make it convenient."
"Prince Yu, you also said that you are just suspicious and have no conclusive evidence. Unless you lead your men to break in, I will not open the door of this study even if you kill me."
When saying this, the second lady crossed her arms with a look of disdain and contempt.
Time was stagnant here for a while. Although Leng Yu had the emperor's imperial edict of appointment, he had no reason to barge in before Mr. Zhang was confirmed to be guilty.
Just when he was thinking about what to do, Little Twins ran in quickly,
"Your Majesty, Zhang Ting ran away..."
As soon as these words came out, the ladies suddenly looked panicked, and the second lady who was so arrogant just now suddenly stepped forward in surprise and asked,
"Which Zhang Ting are you talking about?"
The little twins turned back and said in a cold voice:
"The second rank of the imperial court, Master Zhang Ting."
As soon as he finished speaking, the second lady suddenly staggered back two steps. Seeing this, the girl beside her hurriedly supported her.
Leng Yu looked at the little twins, frowned and asked:
"what happened?"
"Following your instructions, my subordinates led their men to block the east, south, west and north gates of the capital. It turned out that Mr. Zhang was disguised as a farmer and wanted to sneak out of the city. Fortunately, my subordinates had sharp eyes and spotted him at a glance. , has now controlled others, just outside."
"Bring it in..."
Leng Yu's voice suddenly rose. There was indeed something wrong with this Zhang Ting.
After a while, Mr. Zhang, who was disguised as a farmer, was escorted in front of Leng Yu by two officers. When they saw him, the ladies suddenly started chirping and shouting,
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Master, where are you going?"
"Master, they said you wanted to run away, where are you going?"
"master……"
"Snapped……"
Leng Yu picked up an enamel teacup on the table, dropped it heavily to the ground, and shouted loudly:
"Everyone, shut up. Someone, please escort these women down."
When the women saw this, they started wailing loudly.
"Master, what on earth is going on?"
"Master, please tell me something, what is going on?"
"master……"
At this time, Zhang Ting just lowered his head, thinking about how to arrange it in front of Leng Yu, and how could he think about these women.
Seeing these women being pulled out, Leng Yu looked at Zhang Ting who was kneeling on the ground.
"Master Zhang, where are you going so early in the morning? Why don't you even say hello?"
Zhang Ting clenched his fists, straightened his neck, and tried to stand up from the ground, but Xiao Lingzi held his shoulders down.
He knelt on the spot, raised his eyebrows indignantly and said:
"Xiaguan, Xianguan just went out of the city to see my aunt whom I haven't seen for a long time. I heard that she is seriously ill."
"Oh? Then I was at the entrance of the treasury, didn't you know?"
this……
Zhang Ting hesitated for a moment, rolled his eyes and replied:
"I know, it's just that Xiaguan's aunt is dying. I'm afraid Xiaguan won't be able to see her alive, so... so in a moment of impatience, I forgot about the prince's summons."
"That's nonsense..."
Leng Yu suddenly raised his voice, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? You can fool him with just a few words? Where is the key to the treasury?"
Zhang Ting's body trembled, and then he trembled and replied:
"It's... it's... it's in Xiaguan's study."
"Xiao Lingzi, take him to get it."
Although Leng Yu expected that Zhang Ting must have some ulterior secrets, he still wanted to get the key to the treasury first and then interrogate him.
Xiao Lingzi grabbed Zhang Ting's collar with one hand, picked him up like a kitten, and headed straight to the study.
Leng Yu sat in the main hall of Shangshu Mansion with a cold expression, waiting quietly for Xiao Lingzi to come back.
After a while, Xiao Lingzi held two sets of keys in his hand and pulled Zhang Ting to Leng Yu.
"Your Majesty, I got the key."
Leng Yu's eyebrows shifted for a moment, and then he said coldly:
"Take him to the treasury."
He wanted to see what kind of intrigue was hidden in the treasury, so that Mr. Zhang was so frightened that he wanted to run away without hesitation.
When the group reappeared in front of the treasury door, Xiao Lingzi quickly unlocked the other door. Leng Yu walked in front of them, quickly entered the treasury door, and went straight to the bank.
When the door of the bank room was opened by Xiao Lingzi, Leng Yu stepped in and looked around. There were countless cloth bags placed in this empty room. Judging from the shape, they should all contain silver ingots. son.
He waved to Xiao Lingzi beside him,
"Count six hundred thousand taels..."
After Xiao Lingzi accepted the order, he waved his hands to the people behind him, and several people came forward to count the silver.
Zhang Ting kept his head lowered, but his eyes looked at the bags from time to time, and his lips kept trembling.
Xiao Lingzi and others opened several cloth bags containing silver ingots and fell to the ground with a crash...
The scene in front of them shocked everyone. Where was the silver? They were clearly stones of different shapes.
At this moment, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned blue and purple. He pointed at the cloth pockets and yelled:
"Open them all, hurry up..."
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 major event that can turn Daning Kingdom into an empty body in an instant. It is a huge event.
Sure enough, in all the pockets, only the top layer contained silver ingots, and the rest were stones of different sizes.
This scene not only shocked Leng Yu, but also the gatekeepers who had been guarding here were so frightened that they fell to their knees, and some of them peed their pants.
Zhang Ting was trembling and lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper.
"Zhang Ting, what's going on?"
Leng Yu angrily waved his sleeves, came to Zhang Ting, grabbed his collar with one hand, and yelled with gritted teeth,
"Where's the money? Where did it go?"
Zhang Ting shook his head vigorously, "No... I don't know."
"You don't know? The two keys to the treasury have always been in your hands, but you say you don't know. Please get them truthfully..."
