Just when Leng Yu was about to continue questioning, Zhang Ting suddenly stuffed something into his mouth, and two drops of black blood instantly overflowed from the corner of his mouth. Then, 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 softly on the ground. Xiao Lingzi hurriedly came to test his breathing.

"My lord, he is dead. It seems that he just took poison."

Hearing the news, Leng Yu felt dizzy for a moment. Once Zhang Ting died, the whereabouts of the money became a mystery.

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

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

"yes."

The little twins took the order and retreated. Leng Yu looked at the gatekeepers again, 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 was gone. This was the biggest theft case in Daning Country.

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 door. We really don't know how this silver turned into stone."

"Hmph! There is only one door to the treasury. So much money suddenly disappeared, but you said you didn't know. In this case, don't blame me for being rude. Who's here?"

After saying this, several officials came forward. Leng Yu raised his voice and shouted angrily:

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

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that if these 50 big guns are used, even if the person is not beaten to death, he will be maimed. Leng Yu obviously wants to force them to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, we really don't know."

"Your Majesty, this door only opens once a month. Only Mr. Zhang can go in by himself. We really don't know what's going on."

"My lord, please spare my life!"

"..."

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

Xiao Lingzi took two steps forward and reminded softly:

"Your Majesty, since no one has opened this door, could this money have gone out through the front door?"

These words gave Leng Yu an instant feeling of enlightenment. He immediately frowned and 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 area of ​​the treasury is very large. Looking along a corridor, it can be seen that it is divided into many compartments, not only the silver warehouse containing a large amount of silver, but also the clothes warehouse for storing court clothes, civilian clothes, etc., and the silk warehouse for storing silk and satin.

, as well as a tea warehouse for storing tea, and a porcelain warehouse for storing tributes from officials and lords from various places.

Leng Yu walked into the porcelain warehouse, picked up a piece of porcelain and inspected it, and his eyes suddenly shot out with a fire-like gaze.

This is not high-quality porcelain. It is obviously low-quality porcelain produced by small local kilns. To be more precise, it is some shoddy and defective products.

He picked up several more porcelains one after another and inspected them. The result was that without exception, these porcelains had problems.

Seeing this, he suddenly felt a little ridiculed. The mighty Ning Kingdom couldn't even defend its treasury. This was really a big joke.

Did his father trust Zhang Ting too much, or did Zhang Ting know how to conceal the truth?

But now that he is dead, all death has no cure. If the money in the treasury cannot be found, not only the people who were affected by the disaster will not be able to be resettled, but the future of Daning Country will also be worrying.

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

"Your Majesty, we have checked everything and found no secret passage or any problem."

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

"It really makes no sense. Will these things disappear?"

The moment the tiles 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, and Leng Yu's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

He hoped more than anyone else that there would be the missing silver behind this wall.

But what disappointed him was that behind the wall, there was just an extremely dark corridor.

He hurriedly waved to Xiao Lingzi,

"Bring the torch."

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

This corridor seemed to have been newly built recently, and there was still a lot of debris in it that needed to be cleaned up. They walked for a long time, so long that Leng Yu felt that they were almost out of the city.

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

"Your Majesty, there is a light ahead, will anyone be there?"

Leng Yu's eyes tightened, and then he took out the sword from his waist and slowly and cautiously moved forward. Xiao Lingzi and others were afraid that he was in danger, so they also took out their long swords from their waists and followed closely.

But what no one expected was that there was no one here, no mechanism, and nothing else except the oil lamp that flickered on and off.

Standing in this cellar that was as tall as one person, Leng Yu frowned even more tightly, while Xiao Lingzi glanced around and said in surprise:

"Isn't this a place where the money is hidden? But there is no way ahead."

Leng Yu was also confused by some Zhang Er monks. If there was nothing fishy here, then the construction of this secret passage seemed to be meaningless.

Thinking of this, he frowned and shook his head,

"There must be something wrong here. Let's look around."

After hearing this, Xiao Lingzi and others dispersed and began to look at the wall, knocking here and there.

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 and squatted down. A rope appeared in front of him. He tensed up 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. When many bags of silver and porcelain were exposed, Leng Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. 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:

"Your Majesty, there is a problem here too."

Hearing the shout, Leng Yu took long steps and walked over there.

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

"Back off."

After everyone took a few steps back, he gently pulled the rope. 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 from above suddenly shouted:

"Shuang General, there is a situation here."

Two generals?
