Well, it’s useless!

Fang Zhengyi pulled the corner of his mouth and calmed down.

Emperor Jing fell into thought again: "What you said does make sense."

"Guo Banban, you will stay here and inspect for me. Open your eyes wide and look carefully to see where this trick is!"

Guo Tianyang was surprised and said, "I will inspect for you... Are you going back to Beijing?"

"No, I will go directly to Pingwan County, incognito!" Emperor Jing said calmly, "The trend of fraud is not going away. I think if Pingwan County also has this trend, I will kill him by surprise!"

Fang Zhengyi slowly opened his mouth.

This is ridiculous! All the grand ceremony I arranged was in vain...

But on second thought, it does make sense. If we go there and get welcomed with great fanfare, wouldn't that be digging a hole for ourselves?

Before Fang Zhengyi could say anything, Guo Tianyang was already anxious: "Your Majesty, how can you do this? Even if you are not afraid of danger, you still need someone to serve you on the road."

"What do I need you to do for me? Besides, isn't Zhengyi right here? It's only two days' journey from here to Pingwan County, so it won't take long."

"How can Captain Fang serve others? Your Majesty, why don't you take the team with you and set off to Pingwan County immediately? It's the same if we send someone to investigate the situation here later."

Emperor Jing raised his hand and said, "No, it's different! The report may be completely different from the reality. This trip is a good opportunity to see it clearly."

"Besides, Zhengyi has always done things properly, and I am very relieved, right?"

Seeing Emperor Jing looking at him, Fang Zhengyi forced out a flattering smile: "Yes!"

twitter?

twitter?

Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang were both confused.

What is this called?

Emperor Jing didn't think much about it, but Guo Tianyang savored it carefully.

The more he thought about it, the scarier it became... It was as if a black hole had appeared in his mind, sucking him in deeply.

twitter...?

This word and this pronunciation are truly mysterious!

He has been a slave all his life, but his servility is not as good as Fang Zhengyi's "Ya"?

This talent is really terrifying...

Guo Tianyang was still immersed in the mystery of language when Emperor Jing's voice came again: "You should go back now."

"But... they will definitely look for His Majesty even if they can't see him. What does this servant say?"

"Just say that your Majesty has found a farmer's home to stay at and everything is fine. Now he wants to experience the life of the people carefully and doesn't want to be disturbed. He will go back in two days. Even if they are worried about what you say, they will believe it. Just delay it for a day or two." Fang Zheng said

Emperor Jing nodded, and Guo Tianyang looked conflicted: "Is this really okay?"

"Go ahead. Is it true that my words are useless now?"

Guo Tianyang was helpless and sighed deeply: "Yes!"

"What are you chattering about? You are old and now you can't even speak?" Emperor Jing frowned.

"I... yes, I will go right away."

Guo Tianyang pursed his lips in grievance, then turned and left.

......

Inside the house, Wang Erzhu was complaining to Zhang Biao.

"Brother, as soon as I saw you, I knew you had eaten a lot of good food. Unlike me, my life was hard, you don't know how I survived this year."

"I am left with the few acres of orchards at home, but I can't find a good price in Xinzhang County, so I can only sell them to wealthy families at low prices, and then I have to watch them sell them at high prices."

"I'm eating my old apples every day now. If I can't sell this year's apples at a good price, all the little we have at home will be gone, and we'll go hungry."

Zhang Biao is an excellent listener and rarely speaks.

But speaking of starvation, Brother Biao finally spoke up: "Why don't you go out and sell it? Why are you holding on to this piece of land?"

Wang Erzhu was helpless: "Our ancestors have guarded this piece of land for generations. Not to mention whether I dare to leave, I don't even have a wife, who will look after the house for me?"

"How did your father have you when he doesn't even have a wife?"

How did my father have me...

Wang Erzhu was confused.

Yes, I am single, where did I come from?

...

No! I was led astray by this big, stupid guy!

When Wang Erzhu realized what was happening, he shouted, "I'm a bachelor, but my father isn't!"

"Oh, yes, go on."

Wang Erzhu adjusted his mood and said, "If I go out, what if my orchard is occupied by someone else? Where can I go to seek justice?"

"That's not a problem. Just wait until you come back and take it back."

Wang Erzhu glanced at him and didn't want to say anything else. He was afraid that continuing would affect his IQ.

He kept silent, but Zhang Biao spoke again: "After saying so much, you are just timid and dare not run away. Everything else is fake."

Wang Erzhu had a bitter look on his face, and seemed to be hesitant to speak. Finally, he let out a long sigh: "Yes, you are right. The farthest place I have ever been to in my life is Xinzhang County... I have never been anywhere else. I am afraid of getting lost, being robbed, and being cheated."

Zhang Biao said, "You think too much. No one is paying attention to you. I would feel bad if I were a robber and robbed you."

"Big guy, do you have to be so blunt?" Wang Erzhu just felt like crying.

"I used to be poor, but later I went out more often and my life became better."

"Hasn't anything happened to you?"

"The first time I went on a long journey, I encountered bandits who robbed me on the road."

Wang Erzhu's heart tightened: "What happened next?"

"I robbed the bandits."

Fang Zheng pushed the door open and saw that the two were chatting animatedly. He interrupted the conversation and said, "Let's go to Pingwan County."

"Oh." Zhang Biao stood up.

Wang Erzhu asked hurriedly, "Are you going to Pingwan County?"

"Yes, it's hard to do business in this poor place. Let's go to Pingwan County to make a fortune." Fang Zheng said.

Zhang Biao pointed at Wang Erzhu and said, "He wants to go there, too, to sell apples. He can't get a good price here."

"I didn't..." Wang Erzhu was dumbfounded. He never expected that Zhang Biao would make the decision for him directly.

Fang Zhengyi gave him a strange look and said, "You want to go? Then we can go together. Do you have a carriage?"

"Uh...uh? I have a donkey cart." Wang Erzhu said timidly.

"Then take the apples and we can go together in the car, so I don't have to go looking for a horse."

"Is this appropriate?" Wang Erzhu whispered, feeling somehow his heart beating fast!

There will definitely be no danger if we follow the big guy on the road.

Fang Zhengyi walked around the room and said with a smile, "What's wrong with that? You can't sell these things for a good price here. Just go to Pingwan County and make more money and come back. You said you can make money there. It only takes two or three days anyway."

"Besides, look at your room. There are two bowls in total, and one is broken! It's bad luck for thieves to come. It's just right for us to go there. We made some money there, and we'll share some with you. It's just a thank you for telling us so much. How about it?"

"Okay then! Wait for me for a while... After I'm ready, shall we go together?"
