Chapter 555 Look, he looks like a dog!

"Father, this is the treasury of my Lingzhou City!"

"Alas, my Lingzhou, as the capital of Huainan, is poor and penniless!"

"Father, when can the court allocate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to help?"

Emperor Yu looked at the extremely empty treasury in front of him, as if he had expected it, and smiled faintly: "No hurry, after I inspect it, if Huainan is really as you said, the court will never sit idly by."

"Father, you are wise!"

Ning Fan exclaimed, and a smile of excitement appeared on his face.

"Let's go!"

"Ah?"

Ning Fan was surprised and asked in confusion: "Father, you haven't seen this treasury yet, where are we going next?"

"To the secret library!"

"Secret library?"

"What secret library?"

Looking at Ning Fan's stupid look, Emperor Yu sneered in his heart, but Jing Li on the side looked at Ning Fan with pity, and wanted to rush up to him and remind him.

Concubine Xian and Prince Sheng and others were silently accompanying him, but they looked at Emperor Yu from time to time, as if they were looking at a clown.

"You don't know?"

Emperor Yu's face was full of playful smiles again, looking at Ning Fan who was silent, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I know, Jing Li, lead the way!"

"Yes!"

Jing Li looked at Ning Fan helplessly, bowed slightly, and showed an apologetic expression. He was also helpless, and it was difficult to disobey the king's order!

As he said, he led the way in front and came to the door of the secret library in Lingzhou Prefecture.

It was still the more than ten guards from last night, majestic and upright.

"Is this what you are talking about?"

"That's right!"

Emperor Yu smiled triumphantly, like a general returning from a triumphant victory. He looked at the majestic treasury in front of him and said with a smile: "Why, don't you want to take me in for a tour?"

"Father, what is there to see in this place?"

Ning Fan was holding back his laughter, but in Emperor Yu's eyes, he felt embarrassed as if his little secret had been discovered, so his smile became even more proud.

"Hehe, I heard that in this secret treasury, there are gold, silver and treasures piled up like mountains, and food and fodder are like dirt!"

"Father, those are all rumors, and they are not to be believed. This secret treasury was set up by my son to trap the thieves. Don't tell me, this trick of luring the enemy into a trap is really effective. Just now, the yamen runners of the prefecture came to report that two thieves were caught last night!"

"It's a pity that they escaped."

Hearing Ning Fan's calm words, a black line appeared on Emperor Yu's forehead again, and anger surged in his heart, but thinking of the mountains of supplies in the treasury in front of him, he immediately smiled.

"No problem, I'll go in and take a look!"

"Ahem!"

Empress Xian finally couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, since Fan'er said there's nothing inside, let it go."

"There's nothing inside?"

Emperor Yu stared at Ning Fan with a serious look: "Second brother, if what I saw inside is not what you said, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!"

"Alas!"

Ning Fan sighed softly, as if he had given up struggling, and said helplessly: "Since father insists on going in to take a look, Uncle Lin, go open the treasury."

"Yes!"

Lin Yong bowed slightly, grinned at Emperor Yu, and took out a key from his waist: "Open the door!"

"Creaky!"

The heavy door of the treasury was opened, and Emperor Yu strode in front, but Ning Fan looked back at Jia Xu, who nodded slightly, indicating that the master should rest assured.

"Your Majesty, it's not easy for His Royal Highness Prince Yong, why don't you show some mercy..."

"Just a token of your appreciation."

"Hmph!"

Emperor Yu snorted coldly and said indifferently: "This little bastard is still stubborn, how could I..."

When the two of them walked into the treasury first, they were once again stunned by the scene in front of them. The huge treasury was actually empty!

Not to mention the night-shining pearls hanging on the walls and the top floor yesterday, not even a grain of rice or a copper coin fell.

The piles of wooden boxes, the rows of treasure racks, and the thousands of sacks seemed to have disappeared overnight.

The two looked as if they had seen a ghost. They looked at each other. Emperor Yu's face was as black as charcoal. He looked at Jing Li on the side and said, "What's going on?"

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, last night... it was indeed here!"

"Where's the gold? Where's the food?"

"Where's the weapons and armor?"

Emperor Yu felt his blood pressure soar, and he looked at Ning Fan with a murderous look: "Second brother, what's going on?"

"What's going on?"

"Father, I have said it before, there is nothing in this treasury!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Emperor Yu seemed unwilling to give up, and strode into the treasury, but after walking around most of the treasury, he did not see even a grain of rice.

"How could this happen? I saw it with my own eyes last night!"

"Ah?"

Ning Fan looked extremely surprised, and asked Emperor Yu in confusion: "What do you mean by seeing it with your own eyes?"

Looking at Ning Fan's expression, Emperor Yu suddenly fell silent, staring at him straight, with a slight smile on his face: "Second brother, you are too smart for your own good!"

"Even if you emptied the entire treasury overnight, there would be no way that there would be no traces!"

"Besides, with so many supplies, even if you wanted to move them away, how far could you move them?"

Emperor Yu looked at Ning Fan as if he were a clown. Concubine Xian and others beside him also looked at Ning Fan with some concern. What His Majesty said was not without reason!

Besides, they all knew that the treasury was not moved from last night, but from this morning.

Ning Fan showed a sly smile on his face: "Father, I don't know what you are talking about. This secret storehouse is empty. As for what you said about moving, I don't understand!"

"Okay, very good!"

Emperor Yu angrily left, looked at Jing Li beside him, and deliberately said loudly: "Jing Li, go and check for me. No matter if it is the yamen runners in the mansion or the people on the street, whoever can find out the whereabouts of the materials in this secret storehouse will be rewarded with a thousand gold and conferred a title!"

"Yes!"

Ning Fan showed a sly smile, and Jia Xu and Chen Gong and others beside him were also sitting on the Diaoyutai, not panicking at all!

Empress Xian looked at the expressions of the others and looked at Emperor Yu with some pity. It seemed that His Majesty would fail again this time.

Alas, how pitiful.

Ning Fan looked at Emperor Yu staggering away, and a sentence from his previous life came to his mind: Look, he looks like a dog!

However, this sentence cannot be said out loud, or you will lose your head.

"Your son respectfully bids farewell to your father!"

"Gongtai, our Huainan people have not had a easy time in the past two years. I heard that Xia County suffered a disaster the day before yesterday. Please quickly allocate 100,000 stones of grain and grass!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"
