In Xinzhang County, Guo Tianyang was in a state of panic.
Several old ministers stared at him eagerly.
Li Yansong was already glaring at him: "Eunuch Guo! Where is His Majesty? This is not a joke. It is a matter of national security!"
"Yesterday, Sun Sheng sent people to search all the houses outside the city, but they didn't find any trace of His Majesty. Do you know where His Majesty is? Tell us quickly!"
Guo Tianyang felt extremely bitter and didn't know whether he should say it or not.
What if I say it too early...I'll get scolded again.
If he didn't say anything, these people in front of him would probably tear him to pieces!
After hesitating for a while, he said, "Your Majesty... He went to Pingwan County and should be in the county now."
What? !
The ministers were in an uproar.
A group of people were worried and confused, thinking that the emperor was lost, and after a long time they ran to Pingwan County.
Li Yansong was so angry that he slapped his thigh: "Eunuch Guo, this is just a joke! How can you let His Majesty run around?"
"If anything goes wrong, can you take the responsibility?"
Guo Tianyang smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, this was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. I am just following your Majesty's orders. There is nothing I can do."
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up to Pingwan County!"
......
The huge team started to head towards Pingwan County, and everyone was already getting anxious.
Rushing madly towards Pingwan County.
When they arrived at the place, the many ministers who attended the emperor ignored the surrounding environment and their fatigue, and went straight to the Pingwan County Government Office.
In the Pingwan County Yamen, Yang Fengfan, who had just finished dealing with some business, was studying the red box in front of him.
A strange thing happened in the city these two days.
The peace fruit, a special fruit supplied to the imperial guards in Beijing, has made its way to the market and has been sold for ten taels per box.
But when I asked the Jinyiwei around me, they all said they had never heard of it. Some people speculated that it might be a new benefit of the Jinyiwei in the capital.
They did not enjoy this in Pingwan County.
So Yang Fengfan spent a lot of money to buy a box to try it.
There was no one around, so he rubbed his hands, opened the lid, picked up an apple and looked at it carefully.
He took another bite and his face froze.
This familiar taste, this familiar flavor....
Unwilling to give up, Yang Fengfan took another bite and his expression suddenly changed.
Isn't this just an apple? It's a full ten taels of silver! His two months salary... gone?!
"Someone come here!"
Two officers hurried into the public room and asked, "Sir, what do you want me to do?"
Yang Fengfan was so angry that he threw the apple box in his hand. "Someone in the city is using the name of Jinyiwei to defraud the people with fake goods! How could such a ridiculous thing happen in Pingwan County?! Investigate it for me and bring this liar back to me!"
As soon as the two officers ran out, Li Yansong led his men in with great momentum.
Seeing that Yang Fengfan was the only one inside, he immediately asked loudly, "Yang Fengfan, where is His Majesty?"
When Yang Fengfan saw a group of old acquaintances, his mind went blank.
Eunuch Guo, Eunuch Li, and...
"Speak!" Seeing him in a daze, Li Yansong became furious. He hadn't slept for two days and two nights and was extremely mentally exhausted.
Seeing everyone staring at him eagerly, Yang Fengfan swallowed his saliva and said, "I don't know... Why did you come to Pingwan County?"
The word "I don't know" made everyone's heart tighten again.
Yang Yingcai stepped forward and shouted, "Why don't you send someone to look for him! His Majesty is in Pingwan County!"
"Impossible..." Yang Fengfan muttered.
If His Majesty is coming, Lord Fang will definitely give him a letter, after all, the salutes and fireworks are ready.
"Stop talking nonsense! Go quickly, mobilize everyone in the county and go find His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty is wearing a green robe, Fang Zhengyi is wearing a white robe next to him, and Zhang Biao is also here, so he must be very conspicuous. I'll give you one hour to find them immediately, otherwise you'll lose your head!"
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Yang Fengfan broke out in a cold sweat and quickly ran out of the public housing.
Everyone gathered in the public housing in silence, each with their own thoughts.
Yang Yingcai said, "Since His Majesty did not come to the government office to look for Yang Fengfan, he must have been planning to go on a secret visit. This must have been instigated by Fang Zhengyi."
"Yes, yes, that's him. No one else can do this."
"If something happens to your majesty, who will take the responsibility?"
Li Yansong's head hurt after hearing this, and he couldn't help but frown and said, "What are you arguing about? Let's talk about it after we find His Majesty!"
Everyone was silent. Only Guo Tianyang knew what was going on. He blinked his eyes and said nothing.
About half an hour later, Yang Fengfan came back in a panic: "I have asked someone to check again."
"But it will take more time...Pingwan County is now crowded and diverse..."
Before he finished speaking, a shout came from outside the public housing: "Master Yang, the person you are looking for has been captured!"
Everyone in the room was delighted, but soon frowned again, and tacitly judged Yang Fengfan with their eyes.
Damn it, how could His Majesty be captured? Can you do it?
But when everyone entered the house, they were disappointed again.
It was not His Majesty, but an honest peasant who was looking around in panic.
"I haven't broken any law! I haven't broken any law! If you have something to say, just talk it out nicely!" Wang Erzhu kept protesting his injustice.
The officer who was escorting him pushed him down hard and said, "Shut up! You liar, your donkey and your carriage have been recognized, and you still dare to pretend?"
Yang Fengfan was extremely embarrassed and shouted angrily: "Are you the liar who sells peace apples? You are corrupting the moral code and defrauding the people. I will send you into exile!"
Wang Erzhu's ghost was threatening: "I didn't sell the peace apple! It's unfair, sir!"
Li Yansong said impatiently: "Yang Fengfan! You have something else to do now, so put this thief aside for now. There is still half an hour left. If the person doesn't come, don't blame me for being rude."
Yang Fengfan said with a sad face: "Mr. Li... There are too many people wearing blue and white clothes in this city, and there are quite a few who are as tall as Zhang Biao. Please give me some more time."
As Yang Fengfan complained, hope appeared in Wang Erzhu's eyes, and he shouted, "I know the three people you are talking about!"
