Chapter 527 The emperor comes to the incense shop

Especially Eunuch Zhang, who is still unconscious. He obviously knew something about the fake queen.

The emperor thought deeply and said, "I have to go to Qingzhou Mansion again."

"But this time, apart from the two of us, no third person can know."

The secret guard bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor can't believe anyone else now. He has to go and find it himself before he gives up.

After making an agreement with the secret guards, the next day, the emperor pretended to be ill and left the affairs of the court to the seventh prince. After hiding for a few days, he changed his clothes and secretly left the palace.

Everyone thought the emperor was ill, but in fact he had already taken a carriage to Qingzhou Mansion. ?.?????.ℂ??

Before leaving, in order to ensure his safety, he specially asked for a jade Buddha and wore it on his body.

Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan really thought he was ill and did not realize that he had secretly gone to Qingzhou Mansion.

There is a very short official road from the capital to Qingzhou Prefecture.

The emperor sat in a carriage and arrived at Qingzhou Mansion about three days later.

He pretended to be a passing merchant and looked around, while the secret guards hid in the dark to protect him.

On the way, I almost bumped into Magistrate Li.

Fortunately, he changed his clothes and painted his face black, so Magistrate Li didn't notice.

The emperor continued to search and found in his hand a previous portrait of Wang Qiu.

But that portrait was many years old. Now Wang Qiu is a father. He has a slight mustache and is slightly put on weight. At first glance, he looks like a member of the Communist Party of China.

The emperor searched for four days to no avail, and felt slightly angry.

Just when he was about to give up and return to the capital, he heard people passing by say: "Today shopkeeper Wang of the Zhou family is coming to the rice shop to give rice to the rice shop. Come and have a look."

There are many places affected by disasters this year, and the Zhou family will occasionally give rice to some villagers who come to escape famine.

The emperor was dissatisfied with the Zhou family because of the previous disaster relief. After hearing this, he followed a group of common people to watch the fun.

Wang Qiu and Zhang Qiuhe decimetered together.

The emperor looked at the two of them and found nothing strange.

When he turned around and walked away, he accidentally bumped into a farmer.

The farmer glanced at the portrait in his hand and said, "Is this gentleman here to look for someone?"

The emperor nodded, "Old man, have you seen the person in the portrait?"

After staring at the portrait for a long time, the farmer shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."

The emperor suddenly felt disappointed and was about to leave.

The farmer asked again: "Are you coming from the capital?"

The emperor responded: "That's right."

Nong Han said with a smile: "You might as well go to Cheng'an County. There are several gentlemen from the capital there. Maybe there is someone you know."

The emperor smiled bitterly and said, "You mean the Zhou family? Now the Zhou family has returned to the capital."

The farmer shook his head, "No, it's not the Zhou family. I don't quite remember the last name. I heard that he came from Cheng'an County a few years ago."

When the emperor heard this, he became really suspicious and thanked him: "Thank you, old man."

The farmer waved his hand to let him leave, and then went to collect the rice himself.

The emperor put the portrait away, left here, got on the carriage and hurried to Cheng'an County.

He has been to Cheng'an County before and stayed at Zhou's house for a few days last time.

He remembered that there was nothing strange about the Zhou family. When he came to the city gate, he vaguely smelled the familiar fragrance again.

The emperor remembered that the last time he came, there was no such fragrance in the city.

An unknown premonition enveloped my mind.

The emperor got down from the carriage and walked slowly along the street.

Cheng'an County was much more prosperous than the last time he came here. It was surrounded by shops, including Zhou's shop every few steps.

When he walked to the Zhoujia Incense Shop, he found that the fragrance of crabapple and white sandalwood was getting stronger and stronger.

He stopped and looked into the incense shop.

Today Zhang Qiuhe and Wang Qiu went to Qingzhou Mansion to present rice, so Aunt Zhou is here to look after the incense shop.
