"What......?"

At this time, it was not only Zheng Tao himself who was panicked, but all the officials present stood up after hearing Zhao Yin's words.

Everyone was scared out of a cold sweat, and their faces were ugly.

The current 500 acres of potatoes are not enough as seeds, and if they are damaged more, the planting area will be reduced even more, which is not trivial.

According to the promotion plan of the Ministry of Households, the yield of 100 acres of land can be used as grain for the three counties.

It's good now, in one day, there will be less grain in three counties, if this matter is known to the emperor, and they will not cut off their heads?

If it's just your own, it's okay, but if it's not, the whole family has to get in!

"Zheng Shilang, you regret it now, it's too late!"

Zhao Yin turned around, walked to Zheng Tao's side leisurely, patted his old face, and said with a smile: "The emperor handed over the purchase of potatoes to your household, but you dragged it out again and again, and there was no way for this horse to dry, so I could only let people dry potatoes!" ”

"Master Horse, you have a lot of them, so spare the lower officials this time! Whining......! ”

Zheng Tao knelt on the ground with a "poof", hugged Zhao Yin's thigh, and cried in despair.

He knew very well in his heart how serious the consequences of himself were this time, and his head would definitely not be able to be saved.

100 acres of potatoes can be planted in three counties, and in order to vent their own anger for their families, the people in these three counties will continue to starve!

If the emperor knows about this matter, even if he says that he will act according to the rules and regulations, the emperor will never spare it.

In the emperor's heart, the people are greater than the sky, and it was his dereliction of duty that caused hundreds of people to starve!

"This horse has already given you a chance just now, but you don't know how to cherish it, don't blame this horse now......!"

Zhao Yin saw that his face was like ashes, and asked with a bright smile: "If this horse dried all the potatoes, do you think the emperor will treat you like this......?" By the way, I wonder how many children you have? They're all cute, right? ”

"Master Horse, you raise your noble hand and let go of the family of the lower official! All the faults are caused by Xia Guan alone, and it has nothing to do with Xia Guan's family! ”

Zheng Tao was frightened and couldn't possess his body, and slapped himself desperately.

Now he knows that he is irretrievable, and he only hopes that he will not implicate his family.

I knew that this kid was so difficult to mess with, so I didn't dare to delay if I borrowed his guts!

He originally thought that the emperor attached great importance to this batch of potatoes, and no matter how bold this kid was, he would never dare to destroy them!

But I never thought that this kid was really not afraid of heaven and earth, and a hundred acres of potatoes were dried like this?

Even if you don't want to die, don't drag the old man into the water together!

He's got it all right now! There's nothing this kid can't do!

"Poof......!"

After listening to what Zhao Yin said, all the officials in the household department knelt down together as if they had discussed it!

Potatoes were damaged by 100 acres, and the people in nearly three counties could not sow seeds, if the emperor knew about this matter, they would definitely not be able to escape the involvement!

Zhao Yin is very respected by the emperor, and has made many contributions to the Tang Dynasty, even if he destroys potatoes, the emperor will not do anything to him!

But these petty officials have become a direct punching bag, not only do they lose their heads, but they may also implicate the whole family!

"I can't help it......! Stop! ”

"This matter is in charge of Zheng Shilang, it is indeed damned, but it has nothing to do with us!"

"There are a lot of ponies, so let us go!"

All the officials realized that the catastrophe was coming, and they all kowtowed desperately, hoping not to implicate themselves!

Before Dai Shangshu left, he returned all matters of the household department to Zheng Tao.

They were soft-spoken, and they couldn't stop Zheng Tao's actions at all, which led to the current situation.

This old guy declared a personal vendetta, but he implicated them, and now they can't wait to eat Zheng Tao alive!

The grain in the three counties is gone, and when the emperor knows about it, he will be furious!

"This matter has nothing to do with this horse, if it weren't for your poor household department, those potatoes would not have become dried potatoes, if you want to blame, blame Zheng Tao, who let you have such a boss!"

Seeing the room full of people kowtowing their heads and bleeding, Zhao Yin shrugged helplessly!

He sent people to inquire again and again, but to no avail, and now when he sees that things are not good, he remembers to beg for mercy?

It's late!

"Something so big, hurry up and report to the emperor......!"

One of them, coming to his senses from the panic, quickly got up from the ground and shouted loudly.

This matter is not trivial, it is not something they can solve, so they can only report to the emperor as soon as possible and strive for leniency!

"That's right, that's right, ......!"

The others also hurriedly stood up and rushed to the imperial study!

The matter has already come out, and it will be useless to ask for a horse, so I can only report the matter truthfully, hoping that the emperor can treat it differently.

After all, they also persuaded each other in this matter, but Zheng Tao insisted on going his own way!

......

"What do you say? The horse destroyed a hundred acres of potatoes? ”

In the imperial study, Li Er stared at the crimson eyes and slapped hard at Long An.

"Yes, the colt said, in two or three days, the remaining potatoes will also become dried potatoes......"

An official of the household department said in fear.

"A bunch of waste, I don't know what the household raises you for? Can't you do something as trivial as harvesting potatoes? ”

Li Eryan stood up and scolded angrily.

"Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with us! It was Zheng Shilang who wanted to give the horse a stumbling block, so he deliberately delayed, and when the horse was angry, he made the potatoes into dried potatoes! ”

"Your Majesty forgives us, we are innocent!"

"Master Dai went to Jiangnan to raise charity food, Zheng Tao was the only one, and he didn't take us in his eyes at all, and we also made suggestions, but Zheng Tao was arbitrary and didn't listen to it at all!"

Seeing that Li Er was furious, the group was so frightened that their legs became weak, and they fell directly to the ground.

"The entire promotion plan was ruined by Zheng Tao alone, several counties were ruined, it really deserves ...... death!"

Li Erqi's face turned blue and trembled, "Wang De, take a thousand Niu Wei, hurry to the potato field, and order the tenant farmer to stop, if there is anyone who resists the order, kill ......!" Also, keep an eye on the remaining potatoes, and if there's one missing, come and see you! ”

"Yes!"

Wang De was also frightened, he had been with the emperor for decades, and it was the first time that the emperor had such a big fire!

He didn't dare to hesitate, he didn't even care about the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, he turned around and ran away!

Take a team of Qianniuwei, ride a horse, and gallop towards the potato field.

"Come on, bring Zheng Tao and that bastard boy to me!"

After Wang De left, Li Er made a decree to the guards outside the palace!

"Yes!"

The guards received the order and hurriedly left the imperial study, and after a while, they escorted Zhao Yin and Zheng Tao back to the imperial study!
