Thud! Thud! Thud!
"We're following the emperor's orders! Get out of the way! "
In the imperial city, the sound of horse hooves and shouts could be heard one after another.
Torches lit up the entire Chang 'an City, making it as bright as day.
The chaotic sound of horse hooves caused the idle commoners to walk out of their houses and curiously look at the imperial guards on the streets. However, when the crowd saw groups of imperial guards going in and out of the houses of the farmers, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Oh my god! What … what's going on? "
"So many imperial guards? Are they looking for Turkic spies? "
"Oh no! Old Wang's house is blocked! "
"What!?"
Under everyone's shocked eyes.
In Xishikou.
The door of a big house in Fengyi Alley was knocked open.
Under everyone's horrified eyes, a team of imperial guards hurried into the yard and left in less than a cup of tea.
In an instant.
Everyone could not stay calm.
They surrounded Old Wang, who was also dumbfounded.
"Old Wang, what did you do?"
"Why did the imperial guards go to your house in the middle of the night? Is it you, brat … "
"Tsk, tsk, so Old Wang is this kind of person!"
Old Wang's eyes were green with envy.
"No! That's not it! Those imperial guards were looking for chickens! "
"What?"
"Looking for chickens?"
"Looking for chickens in the middle of the night?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Old Wang hurriedly explained, "I'm also very curious! I heard that they were ordered to investigate how much the chickens eat every day. And they even registered all the chickens and ducks in my house and said that they would buy them at market price in two days! I heard that they want to buy all the chickens and ducks in Chang 'an City! "
"Huh????"
"What?!"
"Why do they want so many chickens and ducks? Even if the people in the palace want to eat, they can't eat so much! "
"Does the emperor have any other purpose?"
What was going on?
Everyone was dumbfounded again.
No matter how hard they racked their brains, they still couldn't figure out what this meant!
There were at least a million chickens and ducks in Chang 'an City. Was the emperor crazy?
While everyone was still in a daze, such a thing could be seen everywhere in Chang 'an City. Moreover, this matter even spread more and more widely. In the end, it even reached a point where it was out of control!
"Have you heard? The emperor wants to eat chicken! They're going door to door to check! "
"Last night, His Majesty was observing the sky at night and accidentally learned that the divine chicken had landed in Chang 'an. His Majesty is looking for this chicken!"
"I heard that the Pleiades Star has descended to the mortal world. Your Majesty …"
In the beginning, such rumors were only spread in Ronggui Fang in Xi City. However, as the imperial guards and the local government runners of Chang 'an City joined in, the matter became even more out of control.
Early the next morning.
East Market.
Zhang Feng stared dumbfoundedly at the yamen runners shuttling through the streets and the taverns.
His jaw almost dropped to the ground.
What was going on?
What was going on?
Why did so many people suddenly come to check on the chicken?
Could it be that Lao Li really told his friends in the yamen about this?
Damn it!
This was the perfect time for him to become famous!
This credit would be nonsense if it did not go to Li Shimin. Now, this guy directly gave this function to these yamen runners …
Zhang Feng was a little speechless.
However, he did not know what to say. He could only take one step at a time.
Moreover, at this rate, these silly people wanted the entire Chang 'an City to know about this matter, right?
At this moment.
The pedestrians on the roadside pointed and whispered.
"From last night until now, I heard that thousands of imperial guards, imperial guards, and the local government of Chang 'an City, at least tens of thousands of people did not sleep at all!"
"What!?"
"They're all checking on the chicken?"
"Yes! I heard that His Majesty observed the sky and learned that the Pleiades Star has descended to the mortal world. He's afraid that the common people will eat the Pleiades Star by mistake and bring disaster to the Tang Dynasty, so he's investigating overnight … "
"F * ck! It can't be! This morning, I even ate an egg … "
Hearing this, Zhang Feng's face darkened.
Damn it, what has this rumor become?
However, thinking about it carefully, this matter was indeed strange. Could it be that His Majesty also thought of this method to eliminate the locusts?
But … it can't be so coincidental, can it?
Finally, Zhang Feng thought of Lao Li.
He slapped his forehead.
If he had known this would happen, he would not have given him the wine yesterday. This guy must have gone back to drink last night and bragged too much. As a result, someone with ulterior motives reported it and then it reached Li Shimin's ears.
Or Lao Li wanted to claim credit and used his own method to find his fair-weather friends in the yamen, but in the end, his friends betrayed him!
The more Zhang Feng thought about it, the more he felt that it was the last one.
Zhang Feng could not help but furrow his brows tightly.
If that was the case, he really had to be careful with his words and actions in the future.
He wanted to pave a way for himself to get closer to Li Shimin, but now it seemed that …
"Shopkeeper!"
At this moment.
After a yamen runner finished inspecting the small tavern, he said, "During this period, if you know where people are selling chickens and ducks, report to the yamen at any time. Also, during this period, feed the chickens and ducks in your backyard well. When the time comes, we'll buy them according to the price!"
The corner of Zhang Feng's mouth twitched.
"Okay, don't worry, we won't eat even an egg. We'll keep it for you!"
