Chapter 532 Ku Yin disappears?
Just as Leng Yu was about to continue asking questions, Zhang Ting suddenly stuffed something into his mouth, and two drops of black blood instantly spilled out of the corners of his mouth. Then, he widened his eyes and twitched his body, as if he had broken his breath.
Leng Yu let go of his hand in surprise, and Zhang Ting lay softly on the ground. Xiao Lingzi hurriedly came to test his breath.
"Prince, he is dead. It seems that he has taken poison just now."
When Leng Yu heard this news, he felt a big headache. Once Zhang Ting died, the whereabouts of these money became a mystery.
He suddenly clenched his fists and shouted with a ferocious face.
"Little Gemini, you can take people to search the Shangshu Mansion."
"yes."
Little Gemini took the order and retreated. Leng Yu looked at the janitors again, waved his hand at the official behind them, and they were dragged in front of Leng Yu.
"Tell me! Where did the silver go?"
Leng Yu's voice became hysterical. So much money was gone. This was the biggest theft case in Daning Country.
The head guard shook his head vigorously and replied with a pale face:
"We... we don't know that we are only responsible for guarding the first gate. We really don't know how this silver turned into a stone."
"Hmph! There is only one door in the treasury. So much money suddenly disappeared, but you said you don't know. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude. Where are the people coming!"
After saying that, several officials came forward, Leng Yu raised his voice and shouted loudly:
"Pull these down and hit the fifty big boards again until they are willing to give in."
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that even if you don’t beat someone to death, you will be disabled. Leng Yu obviously wants to force them to tell the truth.
"Prince, please spare me, we really don't know."
"Prince, this door is only opened once a month, and only Lord Zhang goes in by himself. We really don't know what's going on."
"Prince, please spare me!"
“…”
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 whispered:
"Prince, since no one has opened this door, will this silver be gone out through the main door?"
This sentence made Leng Yu feel suddenly enlightened. He immediately frowned and waved his hands to Xiao Lingzi and others.
"Go check and see if there are any secret passages."
"I understand."
After receiving the order, Xiao Lingzi and his servants began to search in the treasury.
The treasury is very large. Looking along a silhouette, it can be seen that it is divided into many compartments, not only a silver treasury containing a large amount of silver, but also a cloakhouse that stores cloaks, plainclothes, etc., a silk treasury that stores silk and satin, as well as a tea treasury that stores tea leaves, as well as a porcelain treasury that stores officials from all over the country and vassal kings.
Leng Yu walked into the porcelain warehouse and picked up a piece of porcelain to check it out. A fire-like gaze suddenly burst out from his eyes.
This is not a traditional porcelain. It is obviously a low-quality porcelain produced by local small kilns. To be more precise, it is some inferior products as good as good defects.
He picked up a few porcelains to check, but without exception, all of them had problems.
Seeing this, he suddenly felt a little ridiculed. The country of Daning could not even defend the national treasury. This was such a big joke.
Is it because my father trusts Zhang Ting too much, or is it because Zhang Ting knows how to hide the truth?
But now he is dead and everything is not correct. If the money in this treasury cannot be found, not only the people who are affected will not be able to settle it, but the future of Daning will be worrying.
Xiao Lingzi took people to search for him, but still found nothing.
"Prince, we searched it all, but we didn't find any secret passages, nor did we find any problems."
Hearing this sentence, Leng Yu's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at the porcelain bottle with extremely poor quality in his hand, suddenly gritted his teeth, pointed at a wall in front of him and fell over, and said with a hatred:
"It's really outrageous. Will these things disappear?"
Just as the porcelain piece 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 even raised to his throat.
He hoped more than anyone else that there would be those missing silver behind this wall.
But what disappointed him was that behind the wall was just a very dark corridor.
He hurriedly waved his hand to Xiao Lingzi,
"Get the torch."
After a while, someone sent a torch. Leng Yu took it over and led the way in front of him, and walked into the dark corridor.
This corridor looks like it has not been built for a long time, and there are still a lot of residues inside. They have been walking for a long time, and Leng Yu feels that they are about to leave the city.
At this moment, a faint fire flashed in front of him. Leng Yu stopped and waved his hand to the people behind him. Xiao Lingzi and others hurriedly stopped.
"Prince, there is light in front of you. Will anyone be there?"
Leng Yu's eyes tightened, then took out the sword from his waist and walked forward carefully. Xiao Lingzi and others were afraid that he would be in danger, so they took out the sword from his waist and followed closely behind.
But what no one expected was that there was no one here, no mechanism, and there was nothing else except the light and dark oil lamp.
Standing in this cellar that was more than one person tall, Leng Yu's brows frowned even more, and Xiao Lingzi even glanced around and said in surprise:
"Isn't this a place to hide silver? But there is no road ahead."
Leng Yu was also a little monk who couldn't figure it out. If there was nothing wrong with it, then the secret passage seemed meaningless.
Thinking of this, he frowned and shook his head.
"There must be a problem here, everyone searches for it."
After hearing this, Xiao Lingzi and others scattered and began to knock on the wall, and look around.
Leng Yu also looked solemnly while walking around the wall while looking for suspicious places.
Suddenly, he felt as if something had been stepped on under his feet. He hurriedly took back 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 broke open on the ground, and Xiao Lingzi and others hurriedly surrounded him and looked along the crack.
After a while, the crack of the ground became bigger and bigger. It was not until many bags of silver and porcelain were exposed that Leng Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. Xiao Lingzi shouted in surprise:
"Prince, I found it, finally found it, the silver is here."
At this time, someone on the other side also shouted:
"Your Majesty, there are problems here, too."
Hearing the shouts, Leng Yu took big steps and walked over there.
It turned out that in an inconspicuous corner, a rope that was the same as the ground appeared. Leng Yu said seriously to the people around him:
“Back.”
After everyone stepped a few steps, he gently pulled the rope and everyone stared at the ground. But this time, the one that cracked was not the ground, but the top.
Just when Leng Yu was stunned, someone suddenly shouted:
"Two Generals, there is a situation here."
Twin generals?
