"This son accepts the orders!"
It was almost noon, and the emperor finally felt that he had made enough arrangements so he returned to the Zheng Yang Palace to sleep.
The officials were not that lucky because the Prime Minister's faction had many missions. They did not dare to lower their guard when a matter related to the survival of the country was at stake. Under everyone's discussion, new orders were being issued.
"Send people to the Tiger Guards Camp to help them, and strengthen their security in the capital city. What if there are more than 50 thousand people there, and there are even more people ambushing them from afar? So, White City, Shanyang City …" "Set up a checkpoint on these few roads, so that even if they run away, they won't be able to escape. We'll check this route outside the west gate, and at the very least, we have to explore 50 miles deep!"
"Wei Xiang's words are reasonable. This general is willing to go …"
"Qiu Family's Yi, every household will start searching for suspicious persons today. The other cases can be set aside for the time being. The Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Rites …" "At each yamen, if there are people around, they are to be assigned to help investigate the background of the common folk in the city!"
In fact, among these officials, many of them had disappeared. They came to the Imperial Palace overnight, worried about their families, and even more worried about their country. The officials of the Shan Nation were not bad, and they could let me go and do things for the country first.
He had already calmed down. As long as nothing happened in other places, then today's matter would be settled. How could he face the people in the future? Today, the city would surely say that he did not have enough authority to rule the country, and his enemies would not even know how to reach his doorstep …
It was hard for him to calm down. At this time, he thought of Dongfang Ning, this extraordinary woman who saved the capital, this little girl from the mountain village who saved Shan Nation from danger. Where did Royal Uncle find her, she was too talented!
How could he reward her? She was the one who had contributed the most to the Shan Nation. Not only had she saved his life, she had also saved countless lives …
The emperor was lying on the bed, quietly thinking about everything that happened yesterday. He could not fall asleep, his mind was constantly entangled with those poisonous snakes, and the empress, his third son, and his eldest son were all not easy to deal with. What should he do?
No, it's not Battle King's fault. The poison that was administered by the "Snake-Controlling Person" was used by Shan Yang Mountain. Wasn't it to lure Battle King out of the city …
The June day was just like this. It was a heavy rain the day before and a sunny day the following day. The noon sunlight was already very hot, and even the wind brought along a wave of heat.
Fortunately, there were mountains and trees everywhere in the Shan Nation and the places where the sun could not reach were still cool.
It was a pity that the capital city of Shan Nation was not able to enjoy the cool today, and even the families with power and influence were not able to enjoy peace. Various small and large restaurants, inns and other public places had all been closely searched by the Shan Nation since it was founded.
No matter what your identity is, you must be interrogated by the soldiers, even by beggars.
Suddenly, the entire capital was filled with panic.
But last night, the four gates of the Shan Nation City were opened wide, and today, early in the morning, the four gates were all closed, with no one allowed to enter or leave, causing the entire city to enter an unprecedented state of vigilance.
Princess Anning Mansion
"Madame, it's bad. There are so many soldiers surrounding us, saying that they want to spy on us. This servant said that this is the Princess Anning Manor, how can there be any spies? What should we do if we tell them to leave?"
The Princess Mansion had only been settled for a few days, yet there were already soldiers surrounding them. They were dressed in palace uniforms, did the soldiers not recognize them? Just now, they had argued with the soldiers for a long time, but the guards did not leave.
"Who would be so bold? Let me take a look!"
"Mom, don't go. If you don't want to cause more trouble, then I'll go!" Today, Faang Ann was at home and was worried when he heard that his mother was going to see someone who obviously had bad intentions. He put down the bowl and followed the girl out.
Moon King Manor's grandeur was different from ordinary Duke Palaces. After changing it to Princess Mansion, it had only changed its name, and the other buildings did not change at all.
Although they had been ordered to do some errands, they did not dare to actually barge into the Princess Mansion. The hundred guards of the Princess Mansion were gifted to them by the emperor, when they arrived they had already enquired about it, but their superiors had an order for them to investigate, so they could only brace themselves and go up.
"Milords, please come in!" After Faang Ann came over, he invited them in.
"Young Master Fang, we were here on orders as well. We've disturbed you. Just now, we were chasing a fugitive, and when he ran towards us he disappeared. That's why we chased him here …"
"There's no need for further words. Other than the main courtyard where my sister is resting, we can't disturb her. You guys can go search the rest of the place!"
As a scholar, Faang Ann was very clear on what to do. His family knew what happened yesterday, so he didn't need to listen to these people's explanation to invite them in.
Searching for spies was not a small matter, and he was willing to cooperate. Furthermore, the leader was not that old, so his face was full of seriousness. This made him have a favorable impression of him.
"You guys go help him look for it. I'm afraid that the thief's kung fu is powerful." Faang Ann was a brave man. Not only had he let them in, he had even sent guards from Princess Mansion to help them look for it.
Faang Ann was already 16 years old. In ancient times, some of these children had already become fathers. The children of the peasants did not treat them as concubines, so it seemed like they were less mature, but this did not affect his handling of the matter.
Yang E only cared for her son, and kept all the food and clothing for him. It could be said that he had never experienced any hardships, had studied for almost ten years, and every time he returned home, Yang E would bring him good food and drink, telling him to hide in his room and eat, even Faang Tianzheng did not have a share.
Instead, he felt that this wasn't good. He didn't like this kind of mother … Every time he saw his mother bullying his second uncle's family, mother and son, he would feel sad on the side. The first thing a scholar needed to learn was to be filial to his parents, so he didn't dare to talk to his mother, not daring to stop his mother's unreasonable behavior.
Dongfang Ning was right, all the parents in the world were doing everything for his own good. But he really didn't want to see his parents working so hard, his whole family having to rely on his Third Uncle's land for support and all his power …
If he had the ability, he would definitely make it up to his second uncle's family. This was his wish, but who knew that his family would once again rely on his sister … He felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he couldn't tell what the reason was.
After welcoming the soldiers that were chasing the fugitives, Faang Ann was worried. He was afraid that they would wake up Dongfang Ning, who only returned in the middle of the night. Therefore, he walked towards the main courtyard.
