Accompanied by Tan Ge and his guards, Emperor Mingzhen came to the wing room in the evening breeze and setting sun.

Emperor Mingzhen's eyes flew over the guards and said in a deep voice: "You are waiting outside to guard. Without my orders, no one can enter!"

"Abide by the order!" The guard nodded with his fists and his face was solemn and solemn.

Emperor Mingzhen and Tan Ge stepped into the room one after another. Emperor Mingzhen sat down with a deep face and waved his hand. It was like Tan Ge sat down! There was silence all around. After a while, Emperor Mingzhen suddenly said:

"Tan Aiqing, Xu Ran is probably close to his age of obedience. Has he not escaped from power conspiracy?"

Tan Ge sighed softly and said, "Report to the emperor, I have some understanding of Xu Ran. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Emperor Mingzhen remembered that although Xu Ran had a high position and power, he had been delaying in Nanping Prefecture for several years until today. During this period, the court had changed. In addition to Yue Zhenggang, there were other ministers with prominent reputations and factions. Xu Ran's former reputation was gradually obscured in the storm of history.

Emperor Mingzhen smiled indifferently. When Tan Ge mentioned Xu Ran just now, he was a little slow. Tan Ge was the top scholar in the current academic performance and became an official in the court very lightly. As soon as he entered the court, he followed Emperor Mingzhen to fight northwest. How could he know such a person like Xu Ran who had disappeared from the court for several years?

After hearing what Emperor Mingzhen said, Tan Ge smiled indifferently, shook his head, leaned over and nodded, and said in a calm voice: "Report to the emperor, it's a coincidence that this matter happened!"

"I am a native of Jiangnan. In order to get a good exam, I rushed north and passed by Nanping Prefecture! I was sick at that time? So I lived there for a while!"

"Oh?" Emperor Mingzhen's eyes opened slightly and he said in a deep voice, "Did you find something you have found during this period of time in Nanping Mansion?"

"The emperor is wise!" Tan Ge clasped his fists? His face was solemn and nodded.

"After saying that!" Emperor Mingzhen sighed lightly, his eyes were concentrated, and he held his breath and listened.

"At that time, the Wei Minister was just a shabby scholar, and he mingled among the people at the bottom. He never thought he would get a piece of news!" Tan Ge pondered for a moment, his face was very serious. He said, "As an important town in the central part of our dynasty, Nanping Prefecture has an extremely important position. Some people even set up a prefect here to manage all kinds of important matters!"

"Not bad!" Emperor Mingzhen nodded when he heard this. "Nanping Prefecture is not like other ancient cities? It was originally just a major road town to travel, but only because of its important location? It was abolished and established a prefecture. From then on, it has no longer been known as Nanping County. The local parents and officials also have the power of the prefect!"

"Yes!" Tan Ge nodded? Then he sighed, "It's just that I was there after many inquiries and finally confirmed a piece of news that Nanping Prefecture has long been no longer the ruthless people!"

"There is no such magistrate?" Emperor Mingzhen was shocked when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice, "The appointments of officials from all over the country are assigned by the court. The position of magistrate is crucial. Even every few years, the court will appoint relevant officials to conduct verification and evaluation!"

Emperor Mingzhen raised his eyes with his hands behind his back, his face solemn, obviously he was a little angry!

"Please calm down, don't be angry!" Tan Ge was furious when he saw the emperor's dragon face, and then stood up and came to Emperor Mingzhen, full of care and respect.

Emperor Mingzhen waved his hand slightly, looked back at Tan Ge, and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean by the fact that you didn't have the prefect?"

"Your Majesty, sit down first!" Tan Ge also sat down after Emperor Mingzhen took his seat and said in a voice, "Report to the emperor, I heard rumors from the people that the prefect Fang here had disappeared for three or four years! Later, I realized that there might be a major event related to the selection and appointment of court officials. I thought that Nanping Prefecture was not too far from the capital, and it was still a long time, so I stayed for a little longer and checked the matter in detail!"

"In my opinion, you must have gained something?" Emperor Mingzhen smiled faintly.

"The emperor is wise!" Tan Ge nodded slightly and continued, "The original magistrate Fang, apart from being a scholar, is not widely known, is also very good at riding and shooting. There is a continuous forest in the northwest of Nanping Prefecture. Fang Gong is a place in the periphery to ride and shoot hunting, including some mild wild beasts such as wild deer!"

"It's very strange. I heard from nearby mountain hunters that the prefect Fang was hunting, riding and shooting in the area under the periphery, but for some reason, he suddenly entered the mountains and forests and did not bring any followers!"

When Emperor Mingzhen heard this, he seemed to have understood something. He sighed lightly and fell into silence. After a moment, he stared at him and said, "If I was not wrong, Prime Minister Fang will be missing from now on?"

"The emperor is as wise as you expected!" Tan Ge sighed lightly and nodded slightly.

"A prefect disappeared for no reason. This matter is of great importance. Did the other local officials not investigate and report the matter?" Emperor Mingzhen's eyes were as sharp as a tortoise and tone was stern.

"At that time, I was just a shabby scholar. I didn't know about the affairs of the government! But according to my understanding and inquiry, this incident did not cause much noise in Nanping Prefecture. The only major change was that shortly after that, the prefect's official office became the residence of Marquis Xu Ran!"

What Tan Ge said is derived from the investigation of first-hand information from the public, and after repeated investigations and verifications at that time, the authenticity can be guaranteed. Therefore, Emperor Mingzhen said this. Otherwise, if it involves important officials, how can he make arbitrarily comment?

After hearing this, Emperor Mingzhen's face was as deep as a pool of stagnant water, and he did not say a word for a long time.

"Your Majesty, you..." Tan Ge was about to speak to make the emperor relieved, but was interrupted by Emperor Mingzhen.

Emperor Mingzhen's eyes were deep and his eyes were deep, and he said in a deep voice: "Tan Aiqing, this matter is very important, but it cannot be made public for a while. Our top priority is to find Dai Luo and Qingru first, otherwise I will still be worried!"

"Don't worry, now that you have been with tens of thousands of military guards, you have firmly controlled Huangfeng City. In addition, I have sent several teams to find them in the name of capturing Dai Luo and Mu Qingru. I expected that there would be a result soon!" Tan Ge smiled slightly and said softly.
