Chapter 533 The assassin who entered the palace at night
It turns out that this secret passage leads directly to Zhang Ting's study. No wonder he doesn't let others enter his study. He is so cunning that he actually leads the Daning Kingdom's treasury directly to his own home. With Daning Kingdom's money, he can
Taking it at will, his wishful thinking was really too loud.
Little Shuangzi came to the entrance of the cave and looked down. Little Lingzi waved to him.
"Brothers Shuang, we are here."
Hearing Xiao Lingzi's voice, Xiao Shuangzi looked at him in astonishment.
"Brother Ling, why are you down there? Where did you get down from?"
"Don't ask, just put the ladder down and call more people over."
After hearing this, Little Twins did not dare to neglect, quickly put down the ladder, and called his men.
Leng Yu ordered them to move all the silver, porcelain and other items in the basement to the ground, and he took the lead to the Shangshu Mansion to wait.
At this time, the female relatives and servants of Shangshu's Mansion were already kneeling in the courtyard. Among these people, there were also a few children.
The second lady held a child in her arms, her face as pale as paper.
Leng Yu came to her and said seriously:
"You must know about the cellar."
The second lady shook her head vigorously,
"I...I don't know."
"you are lying."
"No, sir. When he left in the morning, he only said... he only said that he would not be allowed to enter the study until the child is thirteen years old. During this period, no one is allowed to enter the study."
The second lady's words caused an angry flame to appear in Leng Yu's eyes.
It seems that Zhang Ting has already made his own plans. Even if he dies, he will pave the way for his son. But his thinking is too naive. Does he regard the people of Daning as fools?
Leng Yu waved his hands and shouted loudly:
"Take all these people into the prison and wait for punishment."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of wailing in the courtyard. Leng Yu had no intention of listening and walked back to Zhang Ting's study with his hands behind his back.
It wasn't until dark that the silver hidden in the cellar was brought up. Xiao Lingzi came to Leng Yu and reported back:
"Your Majesty, after counting, there are 6.1 million taels of silver here, 500,000 taels are in the treasury, and the remaining 1.9 million taels are missing."
Missing?
I'm afraid it must have been squandered by Zhang Ting.
Leng Yu took a deep breath, his eyebrows were covered with a layer of coldness, and he said loudly:
"I ransacked Zhang Ting's house and converted all the belongings into money to see how much vacancy is left."
"yes."
Xiao Lingzi and others inspected Zhang Ting's home again and found that there were countless valuables in Zhang Ting's home, and there were countless gold and silver jewelry and jade articles in the rooms of his six wives.
After the final calculation, there were still 900,000 taels of silver missing, but this already made Leng Yu feel very relieved. At least he found out in time and saved most of the Daning Kingdom's treasury silver.
He immediately ordered people to rebuild the treasury, seal the secret passage, fill up the cellar in Zhang Ting's house, search the Shangshu's house and seal it, and put everyone in Zhang's house into the sky prison. When the emperor woke up, he
and disposed of.
When Zhang Ting died, Leng Xi was the happiest person.
At this time, he was sitting quietly in Prince Xi's Mansion, his expression looking much calmer than before.
That Zhang Ting, a month ago, inexplicably gave him five hundred thousand taels of silver, saying that he wanted to be filial to him and asked him to say a few nice words for him in front of the emperor. At that time, he didn't understand what he meant, but now he understands
Oh, he was stealing it because he was guarding it. He did not expect that these five hundred thousand taels actually came from the national treasury. Thinking of this, he took a breath...
He would not use the five hundred thousand taels of silver unless absolutely necessary.
As long as Zhang Ting dies, this matter will be over. Regarding the money, he has nothing to fear. What he has to wait for now is to take Liu Xi's head and wait until Leng Yu leads people to provide disaster relief in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
, he then led people to force the palace in the name of rescuing the emperor.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a sharp gaze appeared deep in his eyes.
…
At night, once it gets quiet, it feels a little scary.
In the Hall of Nourishing Heart, Luo Lan, who had just received the results of the emperor's blood test, felt very lucky. After these few days of treatment, two-thirds of the poison in the emperor's blood had been removed. In other words, there would be another two or three days.
, you can no longer use anesthetics on him, and he will wake up by then.
Just when Luo Lan decided to tell Liu Xi the good news, she suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside. She looked through the crack in the door and saw Liu Xi fighting with two men in black, guarding the Yangxin Hall.
The guards at the door wanted to step forward to help, but thinking of what Liu Xi had just explained, they still did not dare to step forward.
Luo Lan opened the door and Zhang Yuan hurriedly came over to greet him.
"princess……"
"What happened?"
"There is an assassin. Eunuch Liu asked his subordinates to guard here. He will deal with it alone. His subordinates want to help, but they are afraid of falling into the opponent's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"Well, judging from the current situation, will Mr. Liu suffer a loss?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan seemed a little excited,
"Princess, my subordinates didn't know before that Eunuch Liu's kung fu was so good. This time it really opened my eyes. Although the kung fu of the two men in black is also extraordinary, they don't seem to be able to take advantage of Eunuch Liu's.
What a bargain, you see, Mr. Liu has already forced the two of them into a corner."
Through the weak moonlight, Liu Xi and the others could no longer be seen. Luo Lan suddenly frowned.
"Take someone to see it."
"But……"
"If the other party wants to come and assassinate the emperor, they won't just come with two people. You take a few people over to have a look, and Xiaotanzi takes others to stay."
"Okay, my subordinate will go right away."
After saying this, he waved to the few guards around him, and they quickly went in the direction where Eunuch Liu disappeared.
At this time, Liu Xi was being pressed hard by the two men. They were waving long swords in their hands and vowed to kill Liu Xi before they gave up.
"Who are you?"
It turned out that although Liu Xi was good at kung fu, his eyes were a little blurry because of his age, so he was hit by the opponent's silver needle, which made his feet weak and unable to continue fighting with the opponent.
The two men in black snorted coldly and replied directly:
"Go to the King of Hell and ask."
Before he finished speaking, the two men in black flew up together and headed straight towards Liu Xi. At the same time, Zhang Yuan also rushed over and stood directly in front of Liu Xi, struggling with the two men in black.
together.
The guards who came later also participated in the battle, and Liu Xi was taken back to the entrance of Yangxin Hall.
"Princess, Eunuch Liu is injured."
Luo Lan, who was standing at the door and watching, saw two people walking towards Liu Xi with support and hurriedly greeted them.
Liu Xi looked at Luo Lan with a face filled with shame and shook his head vigorously.
"Princess, it's okay, it's just a silver needle. I can just pull it out by myself later. You don't need to do anything."
