"Haha! What's the problem with this? Then Wang Xiaodong's mother has a distressing old illness. Recently, I have been ill. I have shown my identity to him and told him that I am familiar with Dao Sun, so I can let Dao Sun replace him. Mother treats the disease.
Then he told him that treasurer Jin violated the rules and is now being investigated by the court. If he cooperates with us, he will naturally be in peace, and he can also let Sun Daochang treat his mother's illness. If he insists on telling treasurer Jin One way to the dark, then he will go to jail with Boss Jin! "
Lantian County's county office, in the back hall, heard Li Ke's question, Cheng Chumo smiled triumphantly, and then explained the general cause and effect.
Li Ke listened and couldn't help but admire: "Ugly cow, you can be regarded as moving with affection, knowing with reason, and promising with benefit, not bad! In this way, Wang Xiaodong should be regarded as standing by us. On this side, we also have plenty of time to collect more evidence!"
"Hey! What evidence do you want me to collect? Just capture Jin Wanfu and Zhang Xiongfei, and Haosheng will interrogate them, they must all be recruited~!"
Cheng Chu curled his lips silently, disdainfully said.
"Never!"
Li Ke shook his head, "We went to Beijing this time just to eliminate locusts. My father did not give us the right to arrest people without authorization. Even if it was finally found out that Jin Wanfu did violate the regulations to lend to Zhang Xiongfei who wanted to stock up and drive up food prices. , We also have to use the power of Xinfeng County’s county government! Wait a minute, and ask the head of the mountain for his opinion~!"
Cheng Chu shrugged indifferently, and said: "Okay! Everything is up to you! Oh, someone is coming!"
Finally, Cheng Chumo's expression changed slightly because he heard a sound of footsteps outside.
Li Ke sat down when he heard the words, and his complexion returned to normal.
"Your Highness, the food and soup are all ready! Would you like to send them to Yonganhou and the children now?"
Wang Dezheng walked in and saw that there was another Cheng Chumo in the room. He was taken aback for a while, and then he reported to Li Ke.
Li Ke nodded, and said: "Well! Deliver it now! Wangxian ordered you to take the yaman immediately and go with the king to deliver meals outside the city!"
Wang Dezheng bowed and said: "The official will follow the order!"
After a while, the county government of Xinfeng County drove out of five bullock carts. Each bullock cart contained a wooden vat. The barrel was filled with food prepared by the magistrate of Wangxian. Li Ke took Wangxian with him. Ling and a dozen yamen, walked straight to the South City Gate.
At this time, the atmosphere in the city is completely different from the atmosphere when Li Ke and the others first arrived, because the news that the Tianji brigade came to Xinfeng County to eliminate locusts has spread. After hearing the news, the people immediately burst into joy. The depressive atmosphere created by the locust plague was instantly dissipated.
"Have you heard? Yonganhou brought the Tianji brigade to our Xinfeng County to kill locusts~!"
"Really?"
"Then there can be fakes? You can go to the farmland outside the city to see, there are chicken flocks brought by Yonganhou everywhere, and there are countless!"
"Hey! That's great! Our crops in Xinfeng County are saved! I heard that the chicken brigade took less than two days to wipe out all the locusts in Lantian County. Doesn't that mean we The locusts in Xinfeng County can also be wiped out in two days!"
"No, no, no! It should be faster! I just heard a Hanjiazhuang doll say that the Tianji brigade they brought this time has a total of 310,000 chickens, which is twice as much as before. Many, which means that the locusts in our county can be wiped out today!"
"Ah? That's great! The price of food in the city has risen in the past two days, I thought the food shortage was coming!"
"Hey! Let's see how the unscrupulous grain merchants in the city are driving up food prices!"
"Yes! That's it!"
"Eh! Don't say it! There are more than a dozen chickens in my family. I will go back and drive them out of the city to help them kill locusts together in Yonganhou!"
"I have 30 chickens in my family, and I will go back to catch them!"
The people are certainly happy, but some people feel uncomfortable.
"What? Yonganhou brought Tianji brigade to Lantian County? And now the size of Tianji brigade has doubled than before?"
West of the city, the back hall of Zhang Ji Liangpu.
After Zhang Xiongfei listened to the report from the slave, an old face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and he slapped the table hard and got up.
"Yes! Master! Now that it has spread in the county, should we go to Chang'an City to buy food?"
The slave said with a bitter face, cautiously.
"Buy a fart!"
Zhang Xiongfei said with a dark face, "The locust plague is about to be wiped out, do you buy so much food to feed the mice? Get out! Get out!"
"Yes! Master!"
Seeing Zhang Xiongfei's anger, the domestic slave hurriedly backed out.
"300,000 chickens, that is to say, the locust sacred chicken brigade in Xinfeng County can be completely wiped out in less than a day. In some small counties, it can even clear the locusts in two counties in one day, even if there are hundreds of In a disaster-stricken county, the Tianji brigade can clean up more than 20 in less than half a month. There will definitely not be a locust plague near Chang'an. If you want to sell food at a high price, you can only go to other places. Too much gain is not worth the loss!"
In the room, Zhang Xiongfei muttered to himself with a gloomy face.
A moment later, he suddenly remembered the two Orchid who had just given Jin Wanfu this morning. He patted his thigh and said inwardly: "It's over, it's over! The old man's forefoot just borrowed six from Yanhuang Bank at double interest. Qian Guan, I thought I could make a lot of money with these six thousand Guan, but now this is considered to be a loss of madam and another loss? Alas! My two lovely beauties! What a pity! What a pity!"
Speaking, Zhang Xiongfei hammered Xiong's mouth with a heartache on his face.
He didn't know that there was more trouble waiting for him!
..................................
"Xiaguan met Yong'an Hou! Hou Ye was able to bring the Tianji brigade to Xinfeng County to kill locusts. Xiaguan and the more than 50,000 people in the county are grateful to Hou Ye!"
In a village outside the county seat of Xinfeng County, after Li Ke and his team found the "main force", they quickly distributed meals to the children, while Wang Dezheng came to Li Zexuan and bowed with a sincere expression.
Li Zexuan nodded expressionlessly, and said: "Benhou brought the Tianji brigade out to kill the locusts. First, he received the Holy Order, and second, he couldn't bear to see the common people being poisoned by the locusts, but Benhou just heard that Recently, the grain price in Xinfeng County has reached five cents and one stone. Order of Wang County, can you explain?"
After that, he stared at Wang Dezheng with scorching eyes. Obviously, Li Ke had already told him what they found in Xinfeng County.
A few drops of sweat oozes out of Wang County magistrate’s face, and I don’t know if it’s too hot, or his heart is too nervous, he hurriedly said:
"The lower officials were in no way to govern, resulting in the appearance of profiteers in the county who took advantage of the locust plague to drive up food prices. The lower officials were ashamed of the court and the saint. After returning to the city, the lower officials would write a letter to the court! "
Li Zexuan said coldly:
"As the magistrate of Xinfeng County, the price of grain in the county is soaring. Of course, you can't escape the crime of negligence! But the most urgent thing is to find out that the grain merchants are taking advantage of the locust plague to drive up grain prices! All states and counties must stabilize food prices. Xinfeng County is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an, but on the third day of the locust plague, food prices have risen. If Benhou comes later, will the food prices here change? Ten cents and one stone, or one hundred cents and one stone?"
The magistrate Wang Xian said: "What Hou Ye said! The next official will return to the city to investigate the merchants who are driving up food prices!"
"Hold on!"
The county magistrate Wang turned around and wanted to leave, but Li Zexuan uttered a word to stop him, and then said meaningfully: "It is not terrible for grain merchants to drive up grain prices. The terrible thing is that the government and businessmen collude with each other to jointly drive up grain prices! So this You don’t need to investigate the matter. Of course, Benhou has no power and no time to investigate. Before dark today, officials from the Ministry will come to investigate this matter thoroughly. I hope that the Wang County Order will cooperate with you!"
According to the intelligence of Li Ke and Cheng Chumo, Li Zexuan felt that Wang Dezheng 80% also had some problems, and it was necessary to check it, but Li Ke said earlier that they were just going to the counties to eliminate locusts, Li Er They were not given the power to check officials and merchants in the counties. Even with this power, Li Zexuan did not have time to delay here, so he planned to send this matter back to Lantian County with a power bank, and let Li Tai go with Li Er report.
When Wang Dezheng heard this, his face instantly turned pale, he quickly said:
"Hou Ye, forgive me! The official has been busy with disaster relief recently, but he has ignored the soaring food prices in the city. The official is indeed guilty of oversight! Yes, it is Zhang Xiongfei. Xiaguan’s wife is his younger sister, so he has no fear! But Xiaguan dare to swear to the heavens that he has never received a penny from Zhang Xiongfei in this matter! Xiaguan was wronged! Hopefully! Lord Hou Mingjian!"
Li Zexuan nodded thoughtfully when he heard the words, and said: "Heh! You don't count whether you have received any benefits, and what Benhou said is not counted. The officials of the staff will check it out! However! You can say this to Ben Hou, which is quite honest. Ben Hou will truthfully pass the words you said to the court! As for whether you are guilty or not, it depends on how the Holy Lord determines it!"
Wang Dezheng arched his hands: "Thank you Lord Hou!"
At this moment, Li Ke walked over quickly and said: "The leader of the mountain! Many villagers came over there, saying that they are meeting you!"
Li Zexuan raised his brows and asked: "See me? What do you see me doing?"
Li Ke smiled and said: "Some of them came to deliver food, some came to thank you in person, and some came to deliver chicken!"
"Send chicken?"
Li Zexuan could understand the food delivery and thank you in person, but the chicken delivery made him feel a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Oh! Ke means that the people want to send their own captive chickens to the Tianji brigade to help catch the locusts, and return them when we run out~!"
Seeing Li Zexuan's doubts, Li Ke quickly explained.
"Oh? What about this? Let's go and see~!"
Li Zexuan heard this, and was very surprised. Although the 90,000 chickens in this Tianji brigade came from the farmers in Lantian County, after all, Xinfeng County is not Lantian County, and the people here are not like Lantian County. The people trust him as much, but now some people are willing to lend out their chickens, which really surprised him.
The two walked towards the people not far away, and the county magistrate Wang thought for a while, and then raised his heels.
"Master Hou is here!"
"This is Yonganhou! So young!"
"Deserves to be a child of a fairy, and looks good and handsome!"
"If it weren't for Yong'an Hou, all the food in my field would have been ruined by locusts! I will give Yong'an Hou a kowtow!"
Seeing Li Zexuan walking toward him, the people suddenly became excited.
"See Lord Hou!"
When Li Zexuan was still four or five steps away from them, the people bent down to worship.
Li Zexuan took a look, good fellow, there are thousands of people! It is noon now, and these people are probably all coming to deliver food, chickens, and thank you without even having lunch. He never thought that he would be so popular with the people in Xinfeng County, and he was a little flattered for a while!
"The folks don’t have to be polite! Hurry up!"
Li Zexuan quickly raised his hands falsely and said loudly.
"Master Hou! You brought these dolls to help me eradicate locusts. I am grateful. I just want to use some food to reward these hard-working children. I hope Master Hou will not refuse!" /
At this moment, a white-haired old man carrying a food basket, stood up and said sincerely to Li Zexuan.
As soon as the voice fell, the rest of the people quickly yelled in excitement.
"Yes! Lord Hou! This is the chicken stewed by my mother-in-law. I hope it can help the children!"
"My family also stewed eggs!"
"Hou Ye saved my crops, that is, I saved seven people in my family! Old man, I kowtow to Hou Ye! I hope Hou Ye is safe and prosperous for life!"
"I also kowtow to Master Hou, thank you Master Hou for saving my 35 mu of crops!"
"Master Hou! I have 30 chickens at home. Can you join the Tianji brigade to eliminate locusts?"
"Master Hou! I have fifty chickens in my family~IndoMTL.com~ and I am willing to lend them! It doesn't matter if you lose them! Please don't refuse, Master Hou~!"
The people talked about their demands. After a while, Li Zexuan had already knelt down in front of the people. Among them were seven or eight-year-old children, as well as thirty or forty-year-old middle-aged people. There are even 60 or 70 year olds!
They are all people who are in danger from the locust plague and are rescued by Li Zexuan today. No one can understand the joy and touch of the rest of their lives. At this moment, they are willing to do anything for Li Zexuan!
Li Zexuan did not like others to kneel to him. When the first old man was about to kneel to him, he had already reached out to stop him, but he could stop one, but he could not stop the hundreds of dealers. !
Seeing that there are more and more people kneeling to him, and the scene is getting more and more noisy. Li Zexuan quickly got very lucky and said loudly: "Guys! Listen to me!"
The loud voice reached everyone's ears, and the excited people suddenly became quiet. Li Zexuan continued: "Guys, get up first! The kid just got the crown, so many of you are considered good. You are my elders, how can the boy Ho De, can afford this gift from you? You are not repaying your kindness, this is reducing my longevity~! So please get up soon, the folks, let us have something to say Stand up and speak slowly!"
Hearing this, the people kneeling on the ground couldn't help but look at each other, and after a while they stood up.
Seeing this, Li Zexuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The people would kneel down again. He hurriedly drove the railroad while it was hot: "You folks love the children in Lantian County and bring them food. Benhou is very grateful, but As you can see, the children already have food, which is a waste. Please bring back the food that you brought back!"
