After Wu Ming received the news that the white sun rat was arrested and confessed, he knew that the main line of hijacking the Birth Gang was also stable. Just as he was about to make the next plan, an unexpected event forced Wu Ming to abandon his original plan.

Seeing that it was autumn, suddenly in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there was a nationwide locust disaster, and the affected area was huge, Shaanxi, Henan, Hebei, Shandong, followed by Gansu, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shanxi and other provinces. A large number of locusts appeared in Fujian, Zhejiang, Sichuan and other places at the same time.

Wherever the locusts passed, they devoured all the crops to be harvested. The imperial court is also at a loss for this, and locust plagues occur basically every year in the Great Song Dynasty, but there has never been such a large scale this year.

Although the imperial court urgently allocated a batch of grain for emergency relief, the whole country was affected by a large area, and the grain allocated by the imperial court was simply a drop in the bucket, and this bit of food was still exploited by corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

There are not many sincere people who can send it to the victims. After hearing the report of his subordinates, Wu Ming immediately became anxious, the people take food as the sky, when will these corrupt officials and corrupt officials still exploit layer by layer, no, they can't be let go.

Wu Ming said ruthlessly: Whoever doesn't let the people have a good time, I won't let them have a good time. You eat all the food with your heads full of oil, and you don't know the suffering of the people. You dare to exploit life-saving food, and what else do you dare not reach?

On the one hand, Wu Ming contacted his own subordinates in the underground world and asked the dwarven clan to urgently allocate food to transport food to the surface world to relieve the victims, and on the other hand, Wu Ming gave Bai Suzhen a death order:

Let Bai Suzhen's intelligence officers and rat clan masters all be dispatched, but anyone who finds out that they are exploiting relief grain and grass will be arrested and detained on the spot, and there is no need to beat them, all of them will starve for three days first, and then say, no one will starve to death in three days anyway.

After three days, the daily food supply is limited, as long as you don't starve to death. Wait until the plague of locusts has passed, and then let them go.

Wu Ming believes that it is uncomfortable to let these moths who have never been hungry experience how uncomfortable it is to starve. Later they will be a little more honest.

When Bai Suzhen carried out Wu Ming's order, there was chaos in the court, from the prime minister Cai Jing to the small officials in the county town. None of the corrupt people ran away, and all of them were tied up in their own homes by the rat masters under Bai Suzhen.

Song Huizong was still having fun with Master Li in the harem, completely unaware that his court ministers were mostly empty. The current Song Huizong is not going to the court if he can, so he naturally wishes that there would be no ministers to bother him.

The corrupt officials who were caught by Wu Ming's order were still very scared at first, and they stayed at home well, but suddenly a bunch of human-shaped rat-headed or human-headed monsters appeared to tie up their family.

These corrupt officials and corrupt officials hurriedly begged for mercy: "The king spares his life, I will wait for something that is not delicious, don't eat us." ”

The leader of the rat clan masters ignored these people's pleas for mercy, and just looked at them coldly. Strictly carried out Wu Ming's orders, and starved these guys alive for three days.

During these three days, I didn't let them loosen the ties, and let them pull all the urine and urine into their pants, anyway, for the rat people, they don't know what is dirty and smelly.

After three days, these rat masters happened to feed them some food. Anyway, as mentioned above, as long as you don't starve to death.

Wu Ming, who was in a hurry at that time, was busy allocating food to relieve the victims after giving the order, and he didn't think too much about it at all.

With the help of the food of the dwarf clan, it is rare that no one starved to death in this locust plague in the whole Song Dynasty. After finishing his work, Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Xin said: "Although we can't let all the victims eat, but no one is killed." I don't know how things are going with Bai Suzhen, and whether there are any fish that have slipped through the net. ”

Wu Ming, who thought of this, called Bai Suzhen and asked Bai Suzhen how she had done this time to punish those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Bai Suzhen told Wu Ming what she had done as if she was invited.

and asked Wu Ming when he would be able to meet his father-in-law Xu Xian.

After listening to Bai Suzhen's report, Wu Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Nonsense, since ancient times, it has been a disaster for your family, let you punish those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can you tie up all the people of the family?"

You can find out for me, as long as they are not involved in the embezzlement, let them go. And all their property was confiscated by me, and these corrupt officials starved for another week, and after telling them the reason why they were caught and starved, they were also released.

This arrest is just a warning, if you are greedy next time, you will starve to death. I don't believe they're not afraid. After all, it's not realistic to kill them.

Before the successor is not cultivated, there will be a big mess if there are so many fewer officials in the court at once. As for your father-in-law Xu Xian, I will arrange for you to meet when I am busy during this time. ”

After Wu Ming's righteous assistance, the consequences of the locust plague in the Great Song Dynasty were minimized.

Because the locust plague was sudden, and the affected area was extensive, Wu Ming had no good way, after all, he was a human being, not a god, and there was no doppelganger technique, so the bitter Wu Ming had to turn into a golden-winged Dapeng bird.

One by one, they flew to the stricken areas and ordered the birds there to exterminate the locusts. Fortunately, the Golden-winged Roc bird is fast enough, and it is also the king of birds.

It took Wu Ming only one day to fly all over the affected places and unify all kinds of birds in various places, and the people in the disaster area were surprised to find that the birds flying in the sky were not prey birds or sparrows.

All of them went around in groups chasing locusts and feeding on them. Although the locust army is overwhelming, the number of birds is not much smaller than that of the locusts. In the eyes of the peasants, the locusts that they had nothing to do were slowly eaten by the birds.

After ordering the birds, Wu Ming remembered that rats are also omnivores, and in later generations, hungry rats can hold the wires and gnaw with relish. Such a resource, of course, cannot be wasted.

Since he has encountered it this time, he has to completely solve the locust plague that the Great Song Dynasty has to make every year.

Thinking of this, Wu Ming ordered Bai Suzhen to let his rat clan masters lead ordinary rat clans to devour locust eggs and locust larvae underground, and strive to exterminate the locusts this time.

As soon as the locust plague was resolved, Wu Ming's phone rang. Looking at the caller ID on the phone, Wu Ming was stunned. It was actually his second brother Wu Song.

It turned out that this locust plague was too powerful, and Wu Song, who was already the leader of Erlong Mountain, also ran out of food, and he had no choice but to call Wu Ming, and hundreds of people in the cottage had been hungry for several days.

They are all thieves in the eyes of the government, so when Wu Ming released the grain, Wu Song and they didn't dare to go down the mountain to collect it, wouldn't that be tantamount to throwing themselves into the net?

After listening to Wu Song's words, Wu Mingle was happy. yes, how did I forget this stubble?

Thinking that he hadn't seen Wu Song for a while, he just took the opportunity to send food this time to see how his second brother was developing.
