Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Chapter 531 The Secret of the National Treasury

Leng Yu looked around, and saw six or seven women standing at the door. They all had ruddy complexions and charming figures, and they were all wearing various kinds of good-looking silk and satin, which looked very charming.

Leng Yu glanced at these women, and asked coldly:

"Which one is the second lady?"

"I'm."

A woman in purple took two steps forward,

"My lord Yu, I heard what you said just now. Our lord is the second rank of the imperial court. Before our lord has received the imperial order to confiscate 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 neither can I." Please forgive me for letting you go to the master's study."

There was a look of disdain in the second lady's eyes, but her heart was already beating wildly.

Leng Yu felt that her words seemed to make sense, he looked at her, and replied coldly:

"My king looked for Mr. Zhang, but he avoided seeing him. I suspected that he had done something wrong to the country, so I wanted to go to his study and ask the second lady to help me."

"Your Majesty Yu also said that you are only suspicious, and there is no conclusive evidence. Unless you bring your people to break in, otherwise, I will not open the door of this study even if I am killed."

When she said this, the second lady folded her arms with a look of disdain and contempt.

Time was at a stalemate here for a while, although Leng Yu held the emperor's imperial edict of appointment, there was no reason to force his way into Master Zhang before confirming his guilt.

Just when he was thinking about what to do, the little twins ran in quickly,

"My lord, Zhang Ting has escaped..."

As soon as these words came out, the ladies suddenly panicked, and the second lady who was still arrogant just now stepped forward and asked in astonishment,

"Which Zhang Ting are you talking about?"

The little twin turned around and said coldly:

"The imperial court is the second rank, Master Shangshu Zhang Ting."

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

Leng Yu looked at the little twins, frowned and asked:

"what happened?"

"According to your instructions, my subordinate led people 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. , and now they have controlled others, just outside."

"Bring it in..."

Leng Yu's voice suddenly raised, there really is something wrong with Zhang Ting.

After a while, Master Zhang, who was disguised as a farmer, was escorted to Leng Yu by two officials. When they saw him, the wives immediately yelled,

"Master, what's the matter with you?"

"Master, where are you going?"

"Master, they say you are going to run, where are you going?"

"master……"

"Snapped……"

Leng Yu picked up an enamel teacup on the table, dropped it heavily to the ground, and yelled loudly:

"Shut up, come on, take these women down."

When those women saw this, they wailed loudly,

"Master, what is going on here?"

"Master, you should say something, what is going on?"

"master……"

At this time, Zhang Ting just lowered his head, thinking about how to arrange in front of Leng Yu for a while, 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 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 Xiao Lingzi held down his shoulders.

Kneeling on the spot, he raised his eyebrows filled with righteous indignation and said:

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan 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'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 the official's aunt is going to die, and I'm afraid the official won't be able to see her vitality, so... so I was in a hurry and forgot about the prince's summons."

"A piece of nonsense..."

Leng Yu suddenly raised his voice, "Do you think this king is a three-year-old child? You can fool him with a few casual words? Where is the key to the treasury?"

Zhang Ting's body trembled, and then he replied tremblingly:

"It's... it's... it's in the lower official's study."

"Xiao Lingzi, take him to get it."

Although Leng Yu expected that there must be some ulterior secret about Zhang Ting, he still wanted to get the key to the national treasury before interrogating him.

Xiao Lingzi picked up 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 the Shangshu Mansion with a cold expression, quietly waiting for Xiao Lingzi to come back.

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

"My lord, I have the key."

Leng Yu's eyebrows turned for a moment, and then he said coldly:

"Take him and go to the treasury."

He wants to see what kind of tricks are hidden in the treasury, so frightened Master Zhang wants to run away regardless.

When a group of people reappeared in front of the treasury, Xiao Lingzi quickly unlocked the other door. Leng Yu walked in front of them, quickly entered the gate of the treasury, and went straight to the bank.

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

He waved to Xiao Lingzi beside him,

"Count out 60 taels..."

After Xiao Lingzi took the order, he waved to the people behind him, and several people came forward to count the silver.

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

Xiao Lingzi and the others opened several cloth bags containing silver ingots, and fell to the ground with a clatter...

The scene in front of them 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 bags and snapped:

"Open them all, hurry up..."

The several million 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 instantly turn Daning Kingdom into an empty shell.

Sure enough, among all the pockets, only the top layer was made of 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 so frightened that they fell to their knees, and some of them peed on their pants.

Zhang Ting was even more trembling and lying on the ground, his face pale as paper.

"Zhang Ting, what's going on?"

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

"Where is the silver? Where did it go?"

Zhang Ting shook his head vigorously, "No... I don't know."

"You don't know? The two keys in the treasury have been in your hands all along, but you say you don't know, so you quickly recruit them..."
