After the brother finished speaking, he sighed deeply and glanced at Zhao Ji and the others: "I just think you and the little brother next to you are quite compatible, so I told you all this. But if you insist on going outside, don't expose me!"

"I'm just giving you a few words of advice. I have elderly and children at home who can barely afford to eat. If anything happens to you, don't involve me..."

Although this brother is frank, he is also very cautious.

Zhao Ji and the others learned this information from this brother, so naturally they wanted to confirm what this elder brother said.

"Don't worry, big brother, we are definitely not that kind of people. Thank you for telling us the inside story today. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if we were to do this business when we are so poor now, we would be deceived and lose our lives in vain!"

Zhao Ji's words and expression were very sincere, so the eldest brother sighed and left.

The emperor just realized what the situation was.

"Who is the governor here? How can he be so bold? How can he do such a thing so blatantly!"

Perhaps it was the first time that the emperor encountered such a bad thing since leaving the palace, so he was particularly angry. In fact, the emperor did not know that when he went to those so-called towns for inspection with great fanfare before, those towns probably had many problems like this, but they were just manifested in different forms and were covered up in different ways.

Of course, Zhao Ji had no intention of reminding the emperor directly about these things. After all, the emperor was still mentally handicapped and could act on his own accord.

Zhao Ji was not on guard against the emperor, he just felt that even if he told the emperor, he would still cause trouble, which was simply a waste of time.

"I must get to the bottom of this matter. I want to see what kind of parasites the imperial court's money is supporting!"

The emperor said this indignantly.

Zhao Ji agreed perfunctorily to what the emperor said on the surface, but in fact he did not focus on mining in secret.

"Find an opportunity to see how the governor of this town was promoted, what the results of the previous annual assessments were, and also see if there are any traces of other forces behind this governor!"

Zhao Ji knew very well that even if he found out the truth, what was the use of the so-called half tael of silver to buy his body?

It simply proves that such a cruel and immoral thing happened.

If you really want to understand the problem from the source, you still have to dig into the things and relationships behind this governor.

Zhao Ji had already arranged people to investigate, and all he had to do was wait quietly for a reply. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no so-called news.

Instead, he waited for a guard who rushed in in a panic.

These four looked familiar to Zhao Ji. They should be the guards serving the emperor. Such people were not under Zhao Ji's jurisdiction, at least not on the surface.

"What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Does the emperor have any other needs?"

Zhao Ji said as he looked at the four guards who were running out of breath.

"Lord Regent, something terrible has happened! The Emperor has disappeared! We have searched under the bed and in the closets, but we can't find him..."

When Zhao Ji heard the news, he was shocked at first, then he felt a headache and rubbed his eyebrows.

The governor's affairs had not been dealt with yet, and the emperor encountered another unexpected situation.

"Take me to see the crime scene first!" Zhao Ji sighed and led his men to the emperor's room.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw messy furniture and things everywhere in the room, as if it had been robbed.

However, Zhao Ji knew very well that with these guards protecting him, the emperor would definitely not suffer any harm.

The most important thing is that there are no signs of movement on the bedside, chair and other places.

It was as if this person died out of thin air.

This matter is really a bit abnormal.

The emperor has always been protected by masters from the imperial palace, and the probability of being able to bypass these masters and sneak out is very low.

But the probability of the emperor being abducted is lower.

Because these guards lived behind the emperor's room, basically as long as the emperor shouted loudly, these people would be able to hear it.

If they heard the noise, they would definitely rush forward to protect the emperor.

However, the feedback given by the guards now is that they did not hear any sound from the dormitory.

There didn't seem to be any music, crying, or any unusual sounds.

After Zhao Ji asked clearly in the car, he didn't know whether he should repeat himself or sigh.

After searching for a long time, there was still no trace of the emperor.

"The Emperor couldn't have left on his own!"

After searching for a whole night, everyone was feeling a little heavy-hearted, and most importantly, they were very tired, so when they were retreating, Zhao Ji heard a guard muttering like this.

This muttering immediately gave Zhao Ji an idea.

"Yes, so why couldn't the emperor have left on his own? There are no signs of fighting in this room, and even the things the emperor often uses are still there. If the emperor was kidnapped, I'm afraid this room would be smashed to pieces!"

"Then we cannot rule out the possibility that the Emperor actually wanted to sneak out..."

Zhao Ji frowned as he thought about this possibility. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this might be the answer closest to the truth.

"If the emperor left on his own, where can we find him now?"

A guard next to him asked in a fierce tone.

Zhao Ji laughed faintly: "If I follow this logic, then I think I know where the emperor has gone!"

After Zhao Ji said this, he went to the place where the notices were posted during the day without saying a word, and tore off the last notice.

"I want to be a coal miner!" Zhao Ji said in front of all the onlookers.

Some of them had a glimmer of admiration in their eyes, but they didn't even dare to raise their hands. Others raised their hands, but it seemed as if they were not raising them. There was also a group of people who hadn't even opened their eyes yet, but they sent me words like "baby".

"I really hope these people can keep their distance from me and the people around me."

Zhao Ji was not angry when he heard this, but he did not reply to the emperor with any message.

At the same time, Zhao Ji went to several other places in the area and found that although the economy here was relatively prosperous, the deeper he went into the town, the more he could see groups of people lying on the ground in the dim night.

Once it got dark, no one could see the road ahead clearly, and the place where they were lying was where most young couples went for walks.

So...soon there will be children walking away happily holding their homework and balloons at the same time!
